Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Thursday - Five Players to Consider for Week 8
Good morning and welcome to Waiver Wire Thursday's with your host "The Psychic Baztard" or TPB if you'd like. Week 8 in fantasy football is a crucial week, no one wants to fall to 3-5 if your team is 3-4 you still have a great shot at a title. A win this week would put you at .500 with 4 crucial games remaining for your team to make the playoffs. Typically 7 or 8 wins will get your team in the playoffs. So maybe it's time to make some changes and roll with the hot hand. For some of us the injury factor has taken a toll on our teams leaving us with no choice but to search the waiver wire. For others it is simply time to cut our losses with players who just can't seem to get it going this year. Having said that the following is a list of players you should be able to expect good results from or maybe even great results from.
Players I have added to make a playoff run:
Jarret Boykin WR - Green Bay (injuries to James Jones and Randall Cobb)
Mike James RB - Tampa Bay (injury to Doug Martin)
Peyton Hills RB - New York Giants
Beasley Cole WR - Dallas
Darrius Heyward Bey WR - Indianapolis (injury to Reggie Wayne)
Players that I have let go this week, to make a playoff run:
Roddy White WR - Atlanta
James Jones WR - Green Bay
Joque Bell RB - Detroit
Eddie Royal WR - San Diego
Steven Jackson RB - Atlanta (cut him next week if he does not put up double digit fantasy points this week) although I would not suggest starting him this week.
Good luck this week!
