Waiver Wire Wonders - Week 17 fantasysharks.com Tue 12/23/14 7:15 AM
Our final installment of the wonders is this week. Thanks forfollowing along all season. We've got the usual assortment of suspects thisweek, as we look to help those who have one more week of fantasy in them andneed to pick up some talent. The fun doesn't end here, though, aswe'll be back next week with the annual "All-Waiver Wire" team. See you then!
Solid Pickups
RB Matt Asiata, Minnesota
If Minnesota is going to get into the end zone on the ground, itis the job of Asiata to do that. He did so three times this past week against Miami-- two rushing touchdowns to go along with a two-point conversion. This inaddition to 58 yards on 16 carries and three catches for 19 yards. A prettygood day at the office. Minnesota is finishing out the string, and look forAsiata to continue to hit pay dirt in the season finale against Chicago.
TE Luke Willson, Seattle
So Russell Wilson can use a tight end after all! Willson caughtthree passes against Arizona, good for 139 yards and two touchdowns. This isquite a spike in production as he's been quiet all season. Comingoff a successful game, look for Wilson to continue to throw in his direction inthe season finale next week.
RB Jordan Todman, Jacksonville
Against Tennessee, Todman was the better back for Jacksonville,and with Toby Gerhart hurting, we expect that Todman will see plenty of action.He had a spectacular scoring run of 62 yards, to go along with a couple ofcatches out of the backfield. Gerhart's status for next week is unknown. If heis unable to go, Todman is worth a look as a Week 17 starter.
WR Doug Baldwin, Seattle
As defenses stack the line to make a feeble attempt at tacklingMarshawn Lynch, the Seattle passing game has had some stars appear in the lastfew games. To go along with the tight end Willson, Baldwin also had a stronggame against Arizona. He caught seven passes for 113 yards, givinghim a three-game total of 263 yards. Look for him to also be active in Seattle'sfinal game of the regular season.
On the Radar
RB Leon Washington, Tennessee
Though Tennessee's ground game is suspect, fantasy owners can lookto Washington as a pass catching specialist. He caught seven passes this pastweek against Jacksonville, good for 62 yards and a touchdown. He is activeenough that those in points per reception leagues can take a peek here ifneeded for a fantasy start the final week of the season.
WR Kenny Britt, St. Louis
Even though St. Louis is out of it and is facing the ...

The Fantasy Barometer - Week 13 fantasysharks.com Fri 11/28/14 9:06 AM
After annihilating Michael Crabtree's soul on the biggest stage possible, I loved Richard Sherman. Then after the constant overexposure and overpaid contract, I hated him. Now, after the brilliant press conference with cardboard Doug Baldwin, I love him all over again. All is forgiven. Sorry, I don't have an interesting intro ready for you this week, so let's get right to it!
Oh yeah, Happy Thanksgiving. Okay, now we can start.
Quarterbacks
Philip Rivers (Week 12 vs. St. Louis: 291 Yards, 1 TD, 1 INT): In his last three games, Rivers has 207 yards per contest, 2 touchdowns, and 5 turnovers. He's still in the top-12 among QBs in total points scored thanks to his sparkling first six weeks of the season, but he's rapidly falling. I think some sort of injury is clearly significantly compromising his effectiveness. As has been the case for a while, Rivers continues to be a physical liability. On paper, he's a decent start this week against a soft Ravens pass defense that he has historically done well against, but I would prefer to look elsewhere. He just can't be trusted right now. Bench
Eli Manning (Week 12 vs. Dallas: 338 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT): What is it with Eli's receiving targets and having a short shelf life? Not a one of Plaxico Burress, Steve Smith, Hakeem Nicks, or Victor Cruz has managed to have more than three seasons of fantasy relevance in a Giants uniform. Here's hoping the incredible Odell Beckham Jr. can last longer. But for the time being, Beckham is in the process of reviving his quarterback's fantasy value. Eli is now posting low-end QB1 numbers. There's an element of risk in actually using him, as evidenced by the 5-interception debacle in Week 11, but he's a strong play in 2-QB leagues and not a terrible matchup play in 12-man 1-QB leagues. In Weeks 15 and 16, the Giants face Washington and the Rams, who are allowing the 3rd and 10th most fantasy points to quarterbacks. If you're going to the playoffs and you've got an unreliable starter (Cam, Kaepernick, Rivers, etc.), Eli is not a terrible alternative. U sable Matchup Play
Running Backs
Latavius Murray (Week 12 vs. Kansas City: 112 yards, 2 TDs): Murray did all of that damage with only four carries before leaving the game with a concussion. He actually scored more fantasy points with those four carries than Andre Johnson has in his last five games combined. Seriously. That's, uh, that's something. He's questionable to play this week against a stout Rams front, but I'm still ...
