Week 14 - Waiver Wire Pickups - 2009 Fantasy Football

Week 14 - Wavier Wire Pickups. If you are looking for a free agent or waiver wire pickup, here are a couple of the best options likely available in your league. Pickups at every position are posted, including QB - RB - WR - TE - K - D. Each players ownership percentage in 10 team yahoo public leagues is listed after their name.

QB

Vince Young - Ten = StL / 37%
Assuming the injury he sustained last week doesn't linger into this game, Young is a clear top 15 QB option this week for fantasy teams. A matchup at home against the Rams could have Young in the ballpark of 225 passing yards, 30 rushing yards, and 2 touchdowns.

Kyle Orton - Den = @Ind / 64%
Ryan Fitzpatrick - Buf = @KC / 5%
Chad Henne - Mia = @Jac / 10%

LAST WEEK'S PICKS:

Kyle Orton - Den = @KC / 62%
Proving to be a gamer by playing through his ankle injury, Orton offers fantasy teams in need of a QB some relief this week. A matchup against Kansas City should have Orton eyeing 200-225 passing yards and 1-2 touchdowns. If you need a spot starter at QB this week, Orton is likely your best option on the waiver wire.

Alex Smith - SF = @Sea / 24%
Vince Young - Ten = @Ind / 25%

RB

Jamaal Charles - KC = Buf / 66%
Based on his matchup against the worst run defense in the entire NFL this season, the Buffalo Bills defense allows a mind boggling 172 rushing yards per game this season, Charles is one RB you definitely want in your starting lineup this week. At just 66% owned, Charles is an absolute steal and must claim waiver wire pickup in ALL leagues this week. 100-150 total yards, 1-2 touchdowns.

Rock Cartwright - Was = @Oak / 32%
Marshawn Lynch - Buf = @KC / 66%
Willis McGahee - Bal = Det / 56%
Correll Buckhalter - Den = @Ind / 33%
Shonn Greene - NYJ = @TB / 18%

LAST WEEK'S PICKS:

LeSean McCoy - Phi = @Atl 74%
Firmly entrenched as the starting RB in Philly, McCoy with ownership percentage at just 74% is downright absurd. So stop asking if McCoy is starter worthy in your lineup, or if you should pick him up. It is quite obvious by now that McCoy is a must start RB2 in nearly all league formats. If he is still hanging out on your leagues waiver wire, put your claim in now and get him. 75-100 rushing yards and 1 touchdown is likely this week against a struggling Atlanta team.

Jamaal Charles - KC = Den 58%
Justin Forsett - Sea = SF 56%
Carnell Williams - TB = @Car / 54%
Correll Buckhalter - Den = @KC / 32%
Rock Cartwright - Was = NO / 32%
Chris Jennings - Cle = SD / 1%
Shonn Greene - NYJ = @Buf / 19%

WR

Kenny Britt - Ten = StL / 25%
With Vince Young lighting up the air attack and Chris Johnson forcing defenses to try and shut him down, Britt is starting to come into his own right now. A matchup against the lowly Rams secondary that could be without their best player in Oshiomogho Atogwe, and Britt could be looking at 100 receiving yards and 1 touchdown in this game.

Lee Evans - Buf = @KC / 70%
Robert Meachem - NO = @Atl / 55%
Hakeem Nicks - NYG = Phi / 65%
Mike Wallace - Pit = @Cle / 42%
Davone Bess - Mia = @Jac / 7%
Mark Clayton - Bal = Det / 33%
Brian Hartline - Mia = @Jac / 1%

LAST WEEK'S PICKS:

Kevin Walter - Hou = @Jac / 55%
If you have been listening my advice in the previous weeks, then you know that I have been rather high on Walter. And of course I have good reason for my thinking, because Walter now enters into a solid stretch of pass friendly games for Schaub and the Texans offense. I fully expect an excellent finish to the season from Walter, so if you are looking for a solid WR pickup to gamble on, Walter is your guy. 50-100 receiving yards and 1 touchdown is possible this week against an awful Jaguars secondary.

Malcom Floyd - SD = @Cle / 12%
Jeremy Maclin - Phi = @Atl / 63%
Johnny Knox - Chi = StL / 52%
Kenny Britt - Ten = @Ind / 13%
Jacoby Jones - Hou = @Jac / 22%

TE

Kevin Boss - NYG = Phi 46%
Boss has been an extremely consistent fantasy TE over the past several weeks, and yet he is owned in under 50% of 10 team leagues. A matchup against an Eagles defense that struggles at covering tight ends, could allow Boss to tally 50-80 receiving yards and 1 touchdown in this game.

Jermichael Finley - GB = @Chi / 18%
Fred Davis - Was = @Oak / 16%
Todd Heap - Bal = Det / 44%

LAST WEEK'S PICKS:

Tony Scheffler - Den = @KC / 28%
The Kansas City defense struggled mightily trying to cover Antonio Gates last week, and while Scheffler isn't nearly as talented as Gates, he still can definitely catch the ball. At under 30% owned, Scheffler is an excellent cheap pickup who could easily put up some big time stats this week. 40-80 receiving yards and 1 touchdown is possible.

Kevin Boss - NYG = Dal / 46%
Dustin Keller - NYJ = @Buf / 46%
Jermichael Finley - GB = Bal / 21%
Marcedes Lewis - Jac = Hou / 14%
James Casey - Hou = @Jac / 0%

K

Jeff Reed - Pit = @Cle / 28%

Matt Prater - Den = @Ind / 46%
Neil Rackers - Ari = @SF / 32%
Garrett Hartley - NO = @Atl / 16%

LAST WEEK'S PICKS:

Jeff Reed - Pit = Oak / 25%
Shayne Graham - Cin = Det / 9%
Matt Prater - Den = @KC / 42%
Rob Bironas - Ten = @Ind / 65%
Robbie Gould - Chi = StL / 45%

Tennessee = StL / 41%
Arizona = @SF 46%
Buffalo = @KC / 31%
