WAIVER WIRE WEEK 2<\/h2>\n

This is our waiver wire pick-ups column. Dave B scours the free agent pools in fantasy land for the best available talent every week. Availability, of course, depends on the league. We\u2019re using 12 team, 15 roster spot leagues as the median, but we\u2019ll look for roster candidates for leagues of all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n

After all of the weekly games are finished be sure to check our cheatsheets, a who\u2019s hot, and who\u2019s not report plus more in our fantasy football<\/strong><\/a> guide.<\/p>\n

If you are already looking at the Waiver Wire, I am truly sorry! There may be some nuggets already \u2013\u00a0pick the right one and laugh all the way to the fantasy bank \u2013\u00a0choose wrong and you\u2019ll be dropping them in three weeks.<\/p>\n

I hope that Dave B\u2019s Week 2 Waiver Wire will help you find the nugget.<\/p>\n

QB’s<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Matt Hasselbeck \u2013\u00a0Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> \u2013 You likely won\u2019t be drafting him as your starter but if he stays healthy he could surprise. He was accurate and poised behind an offensive line that was missing two starters. Add in the fact that Seattle can\u2019t run the ball and Hasselbeck seems serviceable.<\/p>\n

Michael Vick \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013<\/strong> Coach Andy Reid has said that Kolb will remain starter if healthy. That remains to be seen \u2013 Kolb was brutal before his concussion and all Vick did in relief was pass for 175 yards and run for 103. Vick played well and could be the starter in Philadelphia before too long.<\/p>\n

Derek Anderson \u2013\u00a0Arizona Cardinals \u2013<\/strong> Not all that excited about Anderson but he did throw for almost 300 yards on Sunday. With Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Breaston and Tim Hightower to throw to, you could do worse.<\/p>\n

Others to Monitor:<\/strong> Sam Bradford \u2013 St. Louis; Shaun Hill \u2013 Detroit Lions \"Sports<\/a><\/p>\n

RB’s<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brandon Jackson \u2013\u00a0Green Bay Packers<\/strong> \u2013 Ryan Grant is out at least a week and Brandon Jackson figures to get almost all of the carries for Green Bay at home against Buffalo in Week 2. He will be a good play for at least for this week.<\/p>\n

Darren McFadden \u2013\u00a0Oakland Raiders<\/strong> \u2013 I don\u2019t know if I trust him but in Week 1, Darren had 18 rushes for 95 yards and six catches for 55 yards in a game that Oakland got blown out in. Until I hear that Michel Bush is coming back 100% from injury, I have to assume that McFadden will be the best option in the Oakland offense.<\/p>\n

Peyton Hillis \u2013\u00a0Cleveland Browns \u2013<\/strong> Surprisingly, Peyton Hillis was the man for the Browns this week. Not only did he out-touch Jerome Harrison, but Hillis got all of the red zone touches. The coaches like Hillis and it could kill Harrison\u2019s value.<\/p>\n

WR’s<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Austin Collie \u2013<\/strong> Indianapolis Colts \u2013 The numbers don\u2019t lie. Collie had 10 catches, 131 yards and a touchdown against Houston. With Anthony Gonzalez reportedly injured already, Collie figures to see more time. But with Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark and Pierre Garcon on the roster, he\u2019s a bit of a gamble.<\/p>\n

Eddie Royal \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013<\/strong> Everybody passed on him in Fantasy, but maybe we shouldn\u2019t have. He was targeted 10 times in Week 1 and caught eight for 98 yards. This guy has always had the ability and maybe he\u2019s starting to finally realize it.<\/p>\n

Mark Clayton \u2013\u00a0St. Louis Rams \u2013<\/strong> He actually worked out with Sam Bradford in the offseason and the chemistry was obvious. He is the only real passing threat on the Rams and with Bradford targeting him an astounding 16 times in Week 1, he and Steven Jackson will be the St. Louis offense.<\/p>\n

Others to Monitor –<\/strong> Brandon Lloyd \u2013 Denver Broncos: Devin Aromashodu \u2013 Chicago Bears: Dez Bryant \u2013 Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n

TE’s<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mercedes Lewis \u2013\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars \u2013<\/strong> Lewis is the quintessential Red Zone target. In Week 1, he had two catches, 31 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Others to monitor \u2013<\/strong> Evan Moore \u2013 Cleveland Browns: Jermaine Gresham \u2013 Cincinnati Bengals<\/p>\n

Defense<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Seattle Seahawks \u2013<\/strong> Amazing what a little confidence will do for a team.<\/p>\n
