Every week another group of players emerge as potential saviors for your fantasy franchise. The Brotherhood weeds out all of the trash so that you can find the fantasy cash. This week we have some potential must own RB handcuffs that have emerged after more RBs were lost due to injury in week 8.   Kansas City Chiefs Jon Baldwin - KAN - WR, vs. Miami Dolphins, Sun 1:00 PM Baldwin's career got off to a very rocky start after getting into a fist fight with a team mate during training camp. The rookie ended up missing the first 5 games of the season. Last night he was finally able to put on display his talent that had made him a first round pick in this year's draft. Baldwin dominated last night playing in the slot, wreaking havoc on... read more

Larry Fitzgerald continues to struggle at the hands of Kevin Kolb. Kolb's injury status in unknown, but Fitz could be in for his best statistical day of the season vs. a Ram team that has been torched through the air. St. Louis did an impressive job shutting down the Saints, but we'll need to see a little more before we start calling it a trend. The Giants arguably have the best wide receiver trio in the league. Hakeem Nicks left late in Sunday's victory over the Dolphins but is considered day-to-day. Mario Manningham and Victor Cruz will be strong WR2/WR3 plays vs. a New England secondary that just got torched by Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown, and Emmanuel Sanders. All three Giant receivers rank in the top 25 in what should be a high scoring event. Eli Manning... read more

Pierre Garcon has thrived without Peyton Manning. His success is no fluke. He should continue to post solid stats moving forward. The Colts will need to put up points to keep up with Drew Brees and the Saints offense. Brandon Lloyd will find comfort reunited with his former offensive coordinator. Lloyd was the best WR in all of fantasy last season playing under Josh McDaniels. This deal will boost Lloyd's value and heighten his ceiling. His absence in Denver will allow Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas, and Eddie Royal to step up with Tim Tebow under center. Decker is more suited for the possession role. Thomas has flashed superior talent, but continues to miss extensive time with injury. Anquan Boldin exploded back into relevance last week. He'll continue to be labile, but he showed that he is still capable of being a solid fantasy factor. Torrey... read more

Everyone was urging owners to trade Dwayne Bowe the second Jamaal Charles went down with injury. Experts feared that opposing defenses would double and triple team Bowe without the threat of an explosive runner to keep safeties honest. They were right - teams have double teamed Bowe... The thing is - It hasn't mattered. Bowe has been responsible for some of the best highlights of the season. He continues to find a way to contribute despite being the focal point of opposing defensive coordinator's schemes. Given his supporting cast - his performance this season has been remarkable! Steve Breaston has finally flashed some indication of respite. Bowe will continue to have success in a rivalry game vs. Oakland. Calvin Johnson was held scoreless for the first time this season. Don't expect it to become a trend. Atlanta has no on capable of containing him. Miles Austin... read more

Greg Jennings should abuse the St. Louis secondary this week. Aaron Rodgers has been an equal opportunist - peppering his targets to each and every player on the roster, but when push comes to shove - Jennings is the clear WR1 for the Pack. A hundred receiving yards and a score is expected. Jordy Nelson and James Jones should put up WR3 stats. We do worry about target dilution. We've seen it happen before in New Orleans, but the Green Bay receiving corps is a superior unit. Jennings, Nelson, and Jones all have big-play ability. Jennings will be the weekly shoe-in with Nelson and Jones alternating big-games. Dez Bryant and Miles Austin have benefited greatly from the bye and should be close to full health. This is... read more

  Due to technical difficulties the original Waivers for Week 6 was posted on Tuesday. But was accidentally deleted and appeared only briefly on the site. We apologize for any inconvenience that we may have caused our readers.   Atlanta Falcons Harry Douglas - ATL - WR With Julio Jones out at least one week after suffering a hamstring injury Harry Douglas will be plugged in as the starter opposite Roddy White. Douglas has shown flashes before and is a capable receiver. Hamstring injuries are always tricky just ask Arian Foster owners. Douglas is worth a look in deeper leagues or leagues that start 3WRs. Cleveland Browns Greg Little - CLE - WR Little has all the tools necessary to be a good receiver. He has size, skills and now the most important S, starter. Little had been splitting time with... read more

Wide-outs become scarce as the player pool thins and the bye weeks begin. Owners who play in leagues that start 3 receivers will be hard pressed to find a lock at the wr3 spot. The Top-15 can be counted on, but after that you're looking at the next 30 or so prospects offering comparable value. Miles Austin returns from the bye and injury to instantly grab the 3-spot vs. the charitable Patriot's secondary. Brandon Marshall will struggle with Matt Moore under-center and a ticket punched for Revis Island. Greg Little and Victor Cruz make the biggest jumps this week. Little's role in the Brown's offense will continue to grow. He has a physical style of play and powerful after-the-catch ability. His playing time and targets have gradually increased - expect the production to follow. He's a perfect fit for Cleveland's West... read more

Denver fans may be screaming for Tebow, but fantasy owners need Kyle Orton to remain the starter. Tebow lacks the throwing skills to fully take advantage of Denver's talented receiving corps, and will hamstring Willis McGahee's value near the goal-line. Brandon Lloyd's early season injury was a blessing in disguise, for it has allowed Eric Decker to emerge. Decker has provided some opposite-side respite, while giving Orton another valuable target. Decker's possession game compliments Lloyd's field-stretching ability. Decker is tied for 8th in the league in targets and has four scores in his last three games. Many owners feared that Decker would lower his teammates ceiling, but we believe the opposite. Last week Decker found the end-zone twice, but it was Lloyd who lead the team in targets(11), receptions(8), and receiving yards(136). Entering this year's fantasy drafts - Lloyd... read more

Calvin Johnson is the first player in NFL history to open the year with 4 straight, 2 TD performances. Johnson is beating double and triple teams with ease. If the Lions can stay healthy - no one will compete for top WR honors. We strongly urged Julio Jones owners to show patience - the last two weeks he's exemplified why. Jones combines field-stretching speed, with physical possession skills. He's looked impressive and he's just getting started. Roddy White will continue to draw top corners, leaving Jones to work against opposing defense's inferior cover-men. Steve Smith continues to be an every week must start. We suggested him as a strong buy-low target after his monsoon flop. His down numbers were clearly a result of weather as opposed to talent. We placed Preston Parker in our Week 3 sneaky play section -... read more

Wes Welker: The guy is a reception machine, is the WR1 in arguably the most explosive offense in the league, has the greatest quarterback to ever play the game throwing to him(notice I didn't say "arguably"), and is finding the end-zone with apparent ease. He used to be simply considered a PPR-stud, but the guy is a producer regardless of scoring format. He does not carry the same sex-appeal as some of the prototypical wide-outs, but Welker is as consistent as they come! Where does he rank this week? At the 3 spot. The "Slot Machine" has earned a weekly top-10, if not top-5 rank. The Raiders will be no push over for the Patriots. With the ineffectiveness of Ochocinco and the injury to Aaron Hernandez - Welker will see an even greater number of targets. He's a weekly threat to post double-digit receptions, triple-digit... read more
