WAIVER WIRE WEEK 16<\/strong><\/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

Week 16 is upon us and for many, it is Super Bowl week! There were some key injuries in Week 15 that will require immediate replacement and some that need to be monitored before game time. In any case, there is not much need for depth going forward so empty those reserves and pick up a player that could help you this week.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the last edition of Dave B\u2019s Waiver Wire. I hope that I helped you this Fantasy season.<\/p>\n

If so, leave a comment and if not \u2013 see you next year!<\/p>\n

QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rex Grossman \u2013\u00a0Washington Redskins \u2013 <\/strong> The starting job in Washington is his and this week, he travels to Jacksonville to take on one of the worst offenses in the NFL. He could actually be OK this week \u2013 just like last week in which he threw for 322 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Shawn Hill \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong> Drew Stanton hurt his finger in Week 15 and word is that Hill is ready to come back from injury himself. Hill has proven to be a decent Fantasy quarterback only a few short weeks ago and faces an underwhelming Miami team this week.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim Tebow \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong> Tebow has certainly earned another start. He proved that he can beat you with his arm and his feet. This week, he draws the Texans, the Fantasy friendly Texans! It is a yummy matchup for anyone including Tebow!<\/p>\n

Others to Monitor:<\/strong> Matt Flynn \u2013 Green Bay Packers<\/p>\n

RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Ward \u2013\u00a0Houston Texans \u2013 <\/strong> Arian Foster left Sunday\u2019s game and the extent of or exactly what the injury is remains a mystery. On a Texans team that utilizes their running back so much and with the woeful Denver Broncos on the schedule, Ward is worth serious consideration. \"Sports<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Donald Brown \u2013\u00a0Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong> Brown broke loose last week and did what no other Colts RB has been unable to do \u2013 shred an opposing defense. Brown rumbled for 129 yards and a touchdown and this week gets to face one of the worst run defences in the league. Pick him up but beware \u2013 he could be a one week wonder.<\/p>\n

Rashard Jennings \u2013\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars \u2013 <\/strong>Jennings has been terrific the last three weeks in relief of Maurice Jones-Drew. He has been gaining serious yards and has scored the occasional touchdown as well. MJD looks banged up and Jennings could benefit.<\/p>\n

WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Andre Caldwell \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals – <\/strong>Terrell Owens is gone for the season and Caldwell is the one that will benefit the most. He was targeted six times and caught four of them for 89 yards. He is the #2 WR on a throwing team and will likely be used a lot to see what he\u2019s made of before next season.<\/p>\n

James Jones \u2013\u00a0Green Bay Packers \u2013 <\/strong>Jones looked like the prime target for Matt Flynn in Week 15, catching five balls for 95 yards. He has shown flashes all season long but has not strung together a few impressive games in a row. The end of the season could be Jones-time!<\/p>\n

Anthony Armstrong \u2013\u00a0Washington Redskins \u2013 <\/strong> Armstrong has caught at least four passes in each of his last three games and appears to be in good favour with Rex Grossman. Santana Moss is slowly sliding into the background allowing others to emerge and Armstrong is one who will oblige.<\/p>\n

Others to Monitor \u2013<\/strong> Mike Sims-Walker \u2013 Jacksonville Jaguars, David Nelson \u2013 Buffalo Bills<\/p>\n

TEs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Randy McMichael \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong> Antonio Gates could be gone for the regular season, leaving McMichael to fill in against the injury ravaged Bengals and the brutal Broncos. McMichael has shown that he is a capable backup, catching five balls for 55 yards in Week 15.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Graham \u2013\u00a0New Orleans Saints \u2013 <\/strong> Graham is special and Drew Brees is totally aware of his talents. Against Baltimore, Graham caught five passes for 29 yards and two touchdowns. Graham is a future Stud and could produce for you right now!<\/p>\n

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

Tampa Bay Buccaneers \u2013 <\/strong>The Bucs are still alive and despite losing a couple of key defenders, has been playing well. They play a Seattle team this week that has been brutal on the road and terrible offensively the last month or so. Tampa could put up a ton of points this week!<\/p>\n
