Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, Week 10: Chad Henne, Lee Evans Could Fill Bye-Week Roster Holes
With the Packers, Saints, Raiders and Chargers on the NFL bye week, here are a few replacements that can help your fantasy football team win.
A number of fantasy football stars will hit your bench this week as the Packers, Saints, Raiders and Chargers have the bye on the NFL schedule. So here is a list of players who have the week off and recommended replacements to get -- or keep -- your fantasy football team in the winner's circle. If you're still struggling to fill those final holes, here are some guys to keep an eye on:
Off: Aaron Rodgers, Packers
Waiver Pickup: David Garrard, Jaguars
With fantasy stud Aaron Rodgers on a bye this week, look for Jaguars quarterback David Garrard to have a good week. Garrard and the Jags square off against the Texans, whose pass D ranks dead last in the league allowing just under 300 yards a game.
Off: Darren McFadden, Raiders
Waiver Pickup: Fred Jackson, Bills
Jackson and the 0-8 Bills have the opportunity to nab their first win of the season against the Lions, who are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Jets. The Lions rank 27th in rush defense, giving up 127.9 yards a game. Look for Jackson to break out and have a good week.
Off: Greg Jennings, Packers
Waiver Pickup: Lee Evans, Bills
With WR Roscoe Parrish out for the season with a broken wrist, Lee Evans might see more touches starting this week. Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick should get the ball in Evans' hands against a Lions pass D who rank in the bottom third of the league.
Off: Phillip Rivers, Chargers
Waiver Pickup: Chad Henne, Dolphins
Chad and Henne and the Dolphins are trying to bounce back from a loss on the road against the Ravens and they will have the opportunity this week against a lousy Titans pass D who ranks 26th in the league. Also among Randy Moss distractions, the Dolphins QB might have the edge.
Off: Packers Defense
Waiver Pickup: Buccaneers Defense
The Bucs' D should have huge success this week against an atrocious Carolina Panthers offense. This season, the Panthers rank last in points per game and total touchdowns. They are also the only team so far this season that hasn't reached 100 points yet this season.
