There is still plenty of time to make a move if you are off to a slow start and if your one of the league leaders, don't sit by and let your roster go stale. No matter the state of your team, the waiver wire is not something to ignore. The Waiver Wire round up is going to take some of the hot names of the week and let you know if you should be adding them or not.

If you don't see someone on the list that you are looking at, feel free to list their name and ask for an opinion. Also, if you disagree , let's hear it! Differing opinions are more than welcomed!

Let's get to it:
Quarterbacks:Brandon Weeden - I had him as an Ignore last week...then he throws one of the ugliest interceptions you will see in week 6. That said, this team is going to chuck it no matter who is back there which will provide for some OK fantasy numbers. I would not run out and make him a must have, but I'm watching at this point.
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM!

Nick Foles - Foles had a great showing in Kelly's offense. His performance is leading some to believe Kelly wil stick with him even if Vick can go. If he keeps this job, he's a fantasy starter caliber QB. With that upside, he's worth getting.
ADD HIM!

Runningbacks:
Andre Ellington -
Ellington is still un-owned in some leagues. Get this kid already! He is likely gone in ppr leagues, but I he's the best back in Arizona in any format. Just get this kid already if you have ignored me for the last two weeks.....good chance it is too late though.
ADD HIM!

Zac Stacy - Another solid effort. He's a starter getting a good amount of touches. He should be owned.
ADD HIM!

Joseph Randle - Well we all knew the Murray ride wouldn't last all year. In gthe middle of a soft run defense schedule Randle is going to get his shot until Murray is healthy. He was not impressive against the Redskins, but in this offense with the match-ups he has coming up he's worth taking a shot on.
ADD HIM!

Brandon Jacobs/Andre Brown - If you want the now....get Jacobs. If you are keeping an eye on the stretch run, stash Andre Brown now. Brown should be the NYG back to own once he returns.
ADD HIM!

Wide Receivers:
Brandon LaFell -
Has scored a TD in 3 straight weeks and caught all 4 targets for 104 yds and TD this past week. Would like to see more targets, but as a bye week or injury replacement flyer, he's worth a shot in the right spot.
ADD HIM!

Riley Cooper- Had his best week with Foles. If he continues to be the starter, I would consider a stash here. If Vick comes back, he's worthless again.
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM!

Kenny Stills - Had his best week, but expect plenty of misses for every hit the rookie gets. He's better left on the wire.
IGNORE HIM!

Mike Williams - Many are jumping off with the move to the rookie and his injuries. But the rookie is doing OK and I like Williams down the stretch if healthy. If someone dumped him, I would pick him up.
ADD HIM!

Tight End:
Tim Wright -
7 for 91 yds in week 6. I like his upside. If you are looking for a back-up TE, give this rookie a look.
ADD HIM!

Jeff Cumberland - I just don't see much upside here. I would think there would be better options. For 1 week to fill a bye....maybe, but overall...
IGNORE HIM!

No love for Boykin??? :)

Have to see if anyone is paying attention.....I am trying to hit some of the names out there, but I won't hit them all. If you think there is someone who needs to be tossed out there...get it out there.

Jarrett Boykin - This is an opportunity play. Risk reward....far from a sure thing, but has an opportunity given the status of the WR's in GB. Due to the QB tossing him the ball and the opportunity in front of him....
ADD HIM!

...or Durham....still?
I like Jordan Reed also.

Kris Durham - 13 targets in that offense is something to take notice on. As long as he is lining up opposite of Calvin, he looks to have some value. I like him in deeper leagues.
ADD HIM!

Jordan Reed - Of the two rookie names out there this week, I like Wright over Reed....but that doesn not mean Reed is a bad add. I would like to see a little more, but for a bye week or stash add it is not bad.
KEEP AN EYE ON HIM!

....and what were the totals of Durham's 13 targets? All I saw were drops and 7 yd gains. Not dissing him completely but Lions are still in need of a #2.

83 yards in week 6. Over the past three weeks he has caught 14 passes for 171 yards and a TD. (12 ypc) One of those weeks he didn't have Calvin opposite. He was Stafford's receiver in Georgia.

Durham over Pettis?
Short term, Durham will have more value. You are correct that when burleson returns, his value goes down, but not like pettis is a rock star , if you need someone to possibly start, Durham is a better option for the next couple weeks.

In the NFL they are looking to replace you with a younger copy who can do what you do. Burleson is no longer a burner, and Durham is 6'06". He just happened to play with Stafford in College at Georgia. They have been trying to replace Burleson for this the 3rd year. They might have pulled it off until/or if Broyles gets over his second major knee injury in two years. I'm not claiming Durham is the second coming of CJ, but he is on a much better offense than Pettis, and this team does have a chance at post season play.

I am not buying Boykin yet. They could still have J.Jones, and talk of moving Finley outside more. I think Boykin may be a fishing trip

You know, some folks say fishing on a Sunday's a sin. If a fish bites my line on a Sunday I'm gonna reel him on in.
