Rex Grossman Is Our Quarterback

The time has come. Week 16 is upon us and if you’re still reading our website, it means you’ve either got a secret crush on Torry Hallelujah or you’re about to play for a fantasy championship. Waivers are as important as ever this week as you look to put forth your best lineup. While you have the advantage of facing less competition for the best players in the pool, the fantasy Gods have given us only a few scraps to mess around with. We rarely offer waiver advice on this site because we’re so worried about revealing information to other owners, but we’re throwing you a bone with only one remaining.

Jerome Harrison (RB – CLE) – Owned in 10.3% of ESPN leagues
What the fuck happened here? Yeah that’s right, Harrison’s name now sits third on the list of most rushing yards in a single game. I bet you never expected that in the preseason or as late as five weeks ago when he was third string. Marble Ryan was right all along. It’s a shame he couldn’t account for Mangini’s incompetence of starting an inferior back in Jamal Leiws all season. Harrison should be picked up and started as a low end RB2 or flex with the Raiders on his schedule this week.

Matt Moore (QB – CAR) – Owned in 0.2% of ESPN leagues
He’s owned in 0.2% of leagues for a reason. Let’s stay away from this guy even if he’s playing a Giants team with a banged up secondary. There are other quarterback options this week like…

Alex Smith (QB – SF) – Owned in 37.2% of ESPN Leagues
Smith tops the charts for free agent quarterback pickups this week if you’re worried about Manning or Rivers not getting a full run. Other ideas if Smith isn’t available include VInce Young and not much else.

Maurice Morris (RB – DET) – Owned in 2.7% of ESPN leagues
Again, what the fuck happened here? Morris found his inner Barry Sanders with over 100 yards and a TD on Sunday. He’s still dog shit and I wouldn’t have any faith in him going forward. If you take out his long TD run, his remaining carries averaged 3.8 yards. I’m willing to take the chance that he doesn’t have another big TD run in him. Chris Johnson, he is not.

Michael Bush (RB – OAK) – Owned in 15.0% of ESPN leagues
When asked why Bush hasn’t seen more of the field this year, Raiders coach Tom Cable made excuses about gameplan and situation. Bush seems like the obvious choice in Oakland, but then again not breaking an assistant coach’s noise seems like the obvious choice too. We’ve been fooled by Bush before, so everyone calm down. I’m not willing to risk him as a flex play this weekend.

Justin Gage (WR – TEN) – Owned in 14.8% of ESPN leagues
Gage returned from injury in style with two touchdowns over the weekend. This week the Titans face a Chargers team with nothing to play for, but you can still expect San Diego to put some points on the board. Gage isn’t a horrible WR3 option, especially in deeper leagues, but you can’t have complete faith in any WR you grab off waivers this late in the season. Unlike RBs, they don’t fall of trees.

Fred Davis (TE – WAS) – Owned in 18.5% of ESPN leagues
You should’ve picked him up already. What the hell are you waiting for? He’s scored touchdowns in four consecutive games and is only owned in 18.5% of leagues!?! Maybe people are asleep at the wheel as Owen Daniels remains owned in 48.4% of leagues, but names like Olsen, Shockey, Carlson, Keller, and even Shiancoe can make room for Davis.

Cardinals D/ST - Owned in 66.4% of ESPN leagues
Owners looking to swap defenses week to week can look at Arizona as their first choice. The Rams have the worst offense in the league these days and Keith Null on the road just smells turnover friendly.

49ers D/ST - Owned in 49.9% of ESPN leagues
If you can’t snag Arizona, San Francisco should be your second option.
