Waiver Wire Warriors

A lot of fantasy football games are won and lost based on how you treat waivers. Completely ignore them, and you're either not very involved, you're incredibly lucky that you drafted the perfect team, or you don't plan on winning your league. Here are a few players that based off of their Week 1 performances can probably help most teams out. Also, if they can't help you now, think about bye weeks as well as trade bait.

Kevin Ogletree-Unless you're 1st or 2nd on the waiver priority, you can probably forget about this guy. He's owned in about 26% of ESPN leagues, and that number will skyrocket later this week. He had 2 TDs last week and went for 114 yards. Don't expect him to duplicate those numbers again this year though. Witten wasn't healthy last game, and assuming he's back to normal, Ogletree's targets will go down. That being said, he's a viable option. Dez Bryant and Miles Austin will get the majority of coverage, so Ogletree will find himself open. If you're lucky enough to have a high waiver spot and you need a WR, Ogletree may help you. 

Alfred Morris-He may be listed as the Redskins number 3 running back on their official website, but make no mistake, he's their number 1 runner. He had 2 TDs and nearly 100 yards last week, and with teams focusing on RG3 and Pierre Garcon, he could be in for a decent year. He's owned in just under 16% of ESPN leagues too, so he's probably available. Don't forget though, Mike Shanahan is known for throwing just about anyone in the backfield, so don't say I didn't warn you. But as long as Morris continues to produce, he should remain the starter.

Randall Cobb-He was much more involved in the GB offense than anyone expected him to be. He had 9 receptions for 77 yards and a punt return TD. We all know Cobb is a dangerous return man, but to see him getting so much attention as a WR makes him even more attractive. Also, it should be noted that there are reports that Greg Jennings may miss Thursday's game against Chicago, increasing Cobb's role. He's only owned in 14% of ESPN leagues, so if you need some WR help, check him out too.

Scott Chandler-While 4 catches for 38 yards and a TD doesn't exactly scream pickup, it's not terrible for a TE that is only owned in 3.3% of ESPN leagues. He'll be a huge Red Zone target for the Bills, and he has a good relationship with Fitzpatrick. If for whatever reason you need a second TE, he's definitely worth a look.

I'm going to try to get a post about decent waiver options up about once a week. Going forward it is going to be more difficult as players get picked up, but we'll see how it goes. Have any questions about a player, feel free to send them my way and I'll do my best to give you a somewhat educated answer.
