Hot Waiver Wire Pickups Week 3

These are ranked in order you should pick them up.  All players are owned in under 60% of leagues.

RB

1- Knowshon Moreno -- Everyone thought that the Denver running back was going to be either Montee Ball or Ronnie Hillman but the job has clearly gone to Knowshon Moreno as he has seen the most work the first two weeks.  This past week he got 93 yards and two touchdowns. 



2- James Starks -- With Eddie Lacy going down this week with a concussion Starks had a huge game with 132 yards rushing on 20 carries.  He should be a good start next week if Lacy doesn't return and could find a good role when he returns.

3- Fred Jackson -- CJ Spiller is still the back to own in Buffalo and he went top 5 in most drafts but Jackson still has a big role which many fantasy owners did not expect.  Jackson got 16 and 17 carries respectively in the first two weeks.

WR

1- Eddie Royal -- River's has been looking for a favorite target this year and I think he found it in Riyal. He had 3 touchdowns this week and 2 the week before.  Especially with Floyd out in San Diego Royal will have many balls thrown his way.

2- Deandre Hopkins -- He is the Texan's number two WR and now with Andre Johnson out with a concussion he will see even more balls his way. After a decent week 1 with 66 yards he had a huge week 2 with 117 yards and a game winning touchdown catch.


3- Marlon Brown -- Brown has scored in both weeks and will see a lot of targets with Jacoby Jones likely out another 3-4 weeks.  

TE

1- Charles Clay -- He is very athletic who gets carries and catches.  He racked up over 100 yards and is a big weapon for Tannehill to hit and get extra yards after the catch with his speed and big body that is hard to bring down. 

2- Coby Fleener -- A deeper league pick up because you don't know if he can be consistant with Dwayne Allen getting just as many targets at TE but Allen was hampered by an injury this week and Fleener came up big with 69 yards and a touchdown.  If Luck can rekindle some of the Stanford connection he could be a steal.
