Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

Only four more games left in the fantasy regular season before playoffs! This is the time to either make that final push for the fantasy postseason or if you're sitting pretty that final push first-round bye week. There will also be some managers that have given up on their teams at this point; hopefully, you're lucky enough to play against them. FOUR teams are on bye this week; Colts, Raiders, Bills and Lions. Good luck!

Note: all waiver picks listed here will have only been owned in 50% or less of Yahoo! leagues at the time of publication.

Quarterback

Trevor Siemian (DEN) - 14% owned - Siemian has not been great this year, but if you're in a pinch he does get to play against the New Orleans Saints this week.  The Saints are allowing a league worst 300 yards per game to opposing passers.

Honorable mention: Joe Flacco (BAL) - 25% owned

Running Back

Dion Lewis (NE) - 39% owned - Lewis has resumed practicing and is eligible to return off PUP this week. It still remains to be seen if he will immediately replace James White as the passing back or not, but he's worth an add this week to see how it shakes out due to his high upside.  

Rob Kelley (WAS) - 30% owned - The Redskins are coming off their bye week and Jay Gruden has already announced that Kelley will be the lead back after his impressive week 8 performance. I still think there will be some kind of time share with Matt Jones returning, but Jones looks to be one bad play away from being benched in favor of Kelley.

Honorable mentions: James Starks (GB) - 19% owned, Kapri Bibbs (DEN) - 6% owned

Wide Receiver

J.J. Nelson (ARZ) - 15% owned - Nelson was a recommended add and stash last week through the Cardinals week 9 bye after he posted 79 yards and two touchdowns on 8 catches in week 8. Bruce Arians has gone as far to say that Nelson will be a starting wide receiver in their offense moving forward.

Steve Smith SR (BAL) - 50% owned - Smith is officially off the injury report and draws a great matchup against a terrible Browns passing defense. Expect the Ravens to be throwing a lot in this game which means Smith should be grabbed and played if available.

Honorable mentions: Kenny Britt (LA) - 50% owned, Rishard Matthews (TEN) - 30% owned

Tight End

There are a lot of TEs all just above 50% owned in Yahoo! leagues that I would consider decent plays this week so I'll just list them in order of how I like them and one should be available for you!

Dennis Pitta (BAL) - 55% owned

Zach Miller (CHI) - 53% owned

Zach Ertz (PHI) - 56% owned

Cameron Brate (TB) - 54% owned

Defense/Special Teams

San Diego Chargers (SD) - 39% owned - The Chargers are up against the Dolphins in week 10.  The Dolphins strength lately has been their running game, but the Chargers are only allowing an average of 85 yards per game to opposing rushers and have forced 5 fumbles over their past 4 games.

Another week of football in the books and another week of injuries/benchings/breakout performances that give you the opportunity for some helpful waiver wire adds. Oh, and my Bears somehow beat the Vikings... with Cutler as the starting QB? Sometimes this league doesn't make any sense. Anyways, SIX teams are on bye this week; Cardinals, Bears, Bengals, Texans, Patriots and Redskins. Good luck!

Quarterback

Joe Flacco (BAL) - 23% owned - The Ravens are coming off their bye week and face off against the Steelers who are giving up a close to bottom of the league 283 yards per game to opposing passers so far this season. Flacco's volume makes him a great floor play this week if you need a bye week fill in as he is currently tied with Drew Brees for most pass attempts per game at 44.

Honorable mention: Ryan Tannehill (MIA) - 22% owned

Running Back

Tim Hightower (NO) - 5% owned - Hightower was thrown into a lead role last week after Mark Ingram gave up a fumble for the second week in a row. With this opportunity Hightower managed to put up 102 yards on 26 carries against the Seahawks and it appears there will now be a timeshare situation in the New Orleans backfield for the time being. I'd normally say he would be a risky play for week 9 until the timeshare situation is clearer, but the Saints draw the 49ers who are giving up 185 yards per game on the ground so there should be plenty of fantasy points for the entire Saints backfield in this one.  

Charcandrick West (KC) - 9% owned - With Spencer Ware in concussion protocol and Jamaal Charles still not healthy, Charcandrick West has a decent shot at being the starter for KC in week 9. It would be a great matchup against the 6th worst rush defense of the Jaguars who are allowing 125 yards per game on the ground.

Honorable mentions: Antone Smith (TB) - 1% owned, Rob Kelley (WAS) - 35% owned

Wide Receiver

J.J. Nelson (ARZ) - 3% owned - After Nelson posted 79 yards and two touchdowns on 8 catches last week Bruce Arians has gone on record to say he will be a starting wide receiver going forward. The Cardinals do have a bye in week 9 so he would be an upside stash for at least a week.

Jamison Crowder (WAS) - 49% owned - Hopefully this will be the last week Crowder will be allowed on here as he should really be owned in all leagues. He is the 13th ranked WR in standard scoring and is coming off another monster game of 9 catches on 13 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown. Redskins also have a bye in week 9 so if you're desperate for a play next week then look to the honorable mentions!

Honorable mentions: Kenny Britt (LA) - 39% owned, Quincy Enunwa (NYJ) - 45% owned

Tight End

Dennis Pitta (BAL) - 44% owned - Pitta will be a serviceable volume play this week against the Steelers as he is averaging just over 8 targets per game. Look his way if you need a bye week replacement.

Honorable mention: Cameron Brate (TB) - 41% owned

Defense/Special Teams

Atlanta Falcons (ATL) - 10% owned - My streaming defense of the week goes to the Falcons up against Tampa Bay. They seem to have found a pass rush lately getting 14 sacks over their last 4 games compared to the 4 they tallied in their first 4 games.

Welcome back to the place for all your waiver wire needs. If you have high priority on the wire at this time of the season that means you probably need to turn things around in a hurry if you want to make your fantasy playoffs! Lucky for you this advice should help you out. SIX teams are on bye this week; Ravens, Rams, Dolphins, Giants, Steelers and 49ers. Good luck!

Note: all waiver picks listed here will have only been owned in 50% or less of Yahoo leagues at the time of publication.

Quarterback

Alex Smith (KC) - 38% owned - Three weeks in a row of Alex Smith as the Chiefs keep drawing plus matchups. This week he faces the Colts who are allowing 281 yards per game to opposing quarterbacks so far this season. Smith was the #11 QB in standard scoring last week against the Saints and I expect him to be around that position again this week which is all you can ask for with a bye-week fill-in.

Honorable mention: Brock Osweiler (HOU) - 14% owned

Running Back

Devontae Booker (DEN) - 36% owned - Hopefully you've been paying attention to this article and already have picked up Booker because it might be too late after his MNF breakout performance rushing for 83 yards and one touchdown while playing more snaps than CJ Anderson. The two backs should be considered an even timeshare in a run heavy offense at the moment, but if Anderson falters in the upcoming games we should see Booker taking more of a lead role.

Matt Asiata (MIN) - 21% owned - There's a chance Jerick McKinnon will be out for week 8 after he suffered an ankle injury which would make Asiata a great play as an every down back against the Bears. Somewhat speculative but a good payout if McKinnon does sit out.

Honorable mentions: Zach Zenner (DET) - 8% owned, Chris Thompson (WAS) - 13% owned

Wide Receiver

Davante Adams (GB) - 19% owned - Adams is coming off a monster game on TNF catching 13 of 16 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Expect games like this from him to be possible in the Packers offense, it will just be hard to predict when they will come as he has some pretty talented receivers ahead of him on the depth chart that will usually be soaking up targets.

Jamison Crowder (WAS) - 37% owned - Crowder has been a solid fantasy producer all season long and had his highest yardage last week catching 7 of 9 targets for 108 yards. He's currently the #21 WR in standard scoring so you might want to put him into consideration.

Honorable mentions: Brandon LaFell (CIN) - 13% owned, Quincy Enunwa (NYJ) - 33% owned

Tight End

Jack Doyle (IND) - 31% owned - With Dwayne Allen out last week with a high ankle sprain, Doyle took full advantage and grabbed 9 of 10 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown against the Titans. Allen should be out again this week which means Doyle should against see a decent amount of targets thrown his way.

Honorable mention: Cameron Brate (TB) - 31% owned

Defense/Special Teams

Tennessee Titans (TEN) - 39% owned - Not many streaming options for defense available this week, but I do look the Titans playing against the Jaguars on Thursday night. The Jags are averaging 2 turnovers per game and the Thursday night games have a tendency to be sloppier than usual.

The conclusion of week 6 means we are halfway through the fantasy regular season for most leagues. This is also around the time where fantasy teams will start to fizzle out if their managers haven't been adding depth from the wire throughout the season. Don't be that manager! Two teams are on bye this week; Panthers and Cowboys. Good luck!

Note: all waiver picks listed here will have only been owned in 50% or less of Yahoo leagues at the time of publication.

Quarterback

Alex Smith (KC) - 28% owned - Well Alex Smith ended up being a bust last week as the Chiefs went full rushing attack with a lead against the Raiders all game. I still like him as a streamer for week 7 as he goes up against the Saints where he will need to pass to try and keep up with Drew Brees.  Smith should easily be a QB1 this week.

Honorable mention: Joe Flacco (BAL) - 29% owned

Running Back

Jay Ajayi (MIA) - 31% owned - With Arian Foster limited this week, Ajayi took advantage with a breakout performance against the Steelers putting up 204 yards and 2 touchdowns on 25 carries and added a catch for 3 yards. He will have definitely earned himself more playing time going forward and I think at worst case he will split carries with a healthy Foster.

Devontae Booker (DEN) - 27% owned - Booker makes the list for the second week in a row after he continues to out produce C.J. Anderson on limited carries. On the season Booker sports a 4.7 yards per carry average compared to Anderson's 3.5. At the moment he is still a bench stash until we see an uptick in volume from him.

Honorable mentions: Dion Lewis (NE) - 25% owned, Jacquizz Rodgers (TB) - 22% owned (must grab if Doug Martin sits this week)

Wide Receiver

Ty Montgomery (GB) - 1% owned - Montgomery should be heavily involved in the Packers offense on Thursday night against the Bears as he will get snaps both at running back with James Starks out and Eddie Lacy hobbled as well as snaps at receiver with Davante Adams most likely out with a concussion. He played this dual role in week 6 and ended with a stat line of 10 catches for 98 yards and 3 rushes for 6 yards. Considering Montgomery a WR3 with a lot of upside this week.

Kenny Britt (LA) - 11% owned - Britt has quietly been performing very well this season as he is the 15th best WR in standard scoring and has the 8th highest receiving yards compared to other WR so far. With his numbers this season he should be considered a go as a WR3 until we see otherwise.

Honorable mentions: Robert Woods (BUF) - 22% owned, Corey Coleman (CLE) - 39% owned

Tight End

Hunter Henry (SD) - 35% owned - Henry appears to be a fixture of the Chargers pass happy offense as he has put up 290 yards and 3 touchdowns over his past four starts. He's currently the number 3 TE in standard scoring and has a great matchup against the Falcons coming up.

Honorable mention: Eric Ebron (DET) - 46% owned

Defense/Special Teams

Baltimore Ravens (BAL) - 33% owned - The Ravens defense has put up consistent fantasy points all season and they have a great matchup against a NY Jets team that can't get anything going on offense. There's also upside here that the Jets may start Geno Smith who is a proven turnover machine. Easily my streaming defense for the week.
