With week 11 behind fantasy owners, the fantasy football playoffs are knocking at the door. Some guys stepped up in week 11 and fantasy owners may want to take a look at the waiver wire for some potential gems:
- Santana Moss, WR, Redskins: Moss finally exploded, coincidentally against the Redskins’ biggest rival — the Cowboys. While there is no guarantee for consistency, Moss is worth owning as a backup in most fantasy leagues.
- Ron Dayne, RB, Texans: Dayne ran hard against a stingy Saints’ run D and could continue to see time as the starting runningback in Houston with Ahman Green sidelined.
- Jason Campbell, QB, Redskins: I was wrong about benching Campbell against the Cowboys. He continues to improve as a starting quarterback and should be owned as a backup in all fantasy leagues.
- Chester Taylor, RB, Vikings: If you missed the memo, chances are the opportunity has passed to grab Taylor. But if he still is available, it would be best to grab him.
- Heath Evans, RB, Patriots: Laurence Maroney finally scored a touchdown, but left the game against the Bills with an injured foot. Kevin Faulk left the game with a head injury. That leaves Heath Evans as the healthiest of the backs, and capable too.
- Reuben Droughns/Derrick Ward, RB, Giants: With Brandon Jacobs banged up (again), Droughns and Ward might be good finds on the waiver wire. Both could see increased action in the Giants backfield while Jacobs recovers from a pulled hamstring.

Would you go with Plaxico Burress or Greg Jennings?
Leaning toward Jennings because Plax is banged up……
Thanks
Chris: If you are a bit queasy about Plax, I feel you. But he is playing against the No. 32 passing D in the league. Sometimes the numbers do lie and you get burned, but sometimes you just gotta go with the tendencies. I like Plax this weekend.
Who should I start at RB’s, I can only start 2??
Also, who should I start at WR’s, I can only start 2??
RB’s
Graham
Jones-Drew
Edge James
WR’s
Engram
Evans
Chris Henry
Cotchery
Santana Moss
Thanks!!

Couple more questions:
Packers D or Giants D?
Willis McGahee or Chester Taylor?
Thanks
If you could take a moment to help me set my lineup. This is what I have.
QB – Drew Brees @ Car
WR – Andre Johnson @ Cle
WR – Brandon Marshall @ Chi
RB – Clinton Portis @ TB
TE – Alge Crumpler vs IND
W/R – Justin Fargus @ KC
K – Stephen Gostkowski vs Phi
Def – Chicago vs Den
BN – Lee Evans @ Jac
BN – Derrick Mason @ SD
BN – Todd Heap @ SD
BN – Dwayne Bowe vs Oak
BN – Ricky Williams @ Pit
If you suggest anything different let me know. Thanks a lot!
BN –
Andy: Edge and Jones-Drew, Henry and Evans.
Chris: Green Bay and McGahee.
Derek: I like your lineup as is!
Well Barber came through on Thursday, but should I start Ron Dayne (@ CLE) or unknown Kolby Smith (vs. OAK) on Sunday? My gut tells me to go with Dayne because he’s less of an unknown. But playing anyone against the Raiders’ woeful run D seems like a good idea.
