Waiver WRs

If you're like me on draft day, you feel the compelling need to grab a quarterback and a pair of running backs pretty early on.  I feel as if I'm scrambling to find suitable options at those positions if I don't use 3 out of my first 4 picks on them.  I also tend to emphasize the tight end position a little bit more than most.  Then it happens...it's round 6 or 7 and I have one wide receiver on my roster, and there is much left to choose from. 

If this is you and your productivity from the WR spots has been less than ideal, don't panic.  You may just be lucky enough to be in a league where some of the following are still available.

(all percentages based on Yahoo league as of November 7th)

Eric Decker- The second year man out of Minnesota has put up more than solid numbers this season.  His 406 yards are steady, but he's found the end zone  whopping 6 times!  I wouldn't be too discouraged with Tebow under center either.  In his last 2 games, Decker has 9 catches for 119 yards and a pair of scores.  He is currently owned in 76% of leagues.  What's going on in that other 24%?

Torrey Smith- Owned in less than half of existing leagues (45%), the rookie speedster has 397 yards thus far to go along with 4 touchdowns.  His big play capabilty is a great threat to add to your roster.  He made some big plays against the Steelers on Sunday night and as long as Flacco stays upright, I'd look for those homeruns to come more frequently.

Antonio Brown- With Hines Ward playing sparingly lately, Brown has been targeted more than any other Steeler in the passing game.  He is owned in 68% of leagues, and that number is rising fast.  So if you want a shot at the "Young Money Crew" member, you had better act fast.  Although he has only found paydirt once so far, he has emassed 463 yards on 39 grabs.  If your league gives points for the return game, then Brown is a must own.

Early Doucet- I don't understand how a guy with 437 yards and 3 scores can only be owned in 34% of leagues.  With Larry Fitzgerald grabbing most of the attention of opposing secondaries, Doucet has found a nice niche this season in Arizone.  I wouldn't expect the world from this guy, but he could be a sneaky pick up.

James Jones- A high risk, a reward type of players, Jones will sometimes leave you very frustrated.  He is owned in 55% of leagues as of right now,  but has a solid 4 scores to go along with 347 yards.  Aaron Rodgers has a lot of targets on the Green bay offense, so he may not get as many targets as you may like, but Rodgers does a great job of spreading it around, so all-in-all, Jones has some serious value.

Earl Bennett- Bennett had a great game last night against the Eagles, catching 5 passes for 95 yards and a score.  He has been hampered by injuries and that's likely the reason for his extremely low rate of ownership (11%).  With his fellow Vanderbilt buddy, Jay Cutler, seeing much better protection these days and a lack of weapons on the Bears' offense, Bennett could be a key come fantasy playoff time.
