Daily Haze: Early Week 14 Waiver Wire Thoughts

Most fantasy leagues start the fantasy postseason in Week 14, which means there is just one game—tonight's battle between Green Bay and Baltimore—before the playoff pictures will be painted in fantasy leagues.

How are your teams doing?

Mine, six-for-six this year. Locked up three postseason berths yesterday and had three in the bag going into Week 13. OK, enough with the patting of my own back.

Plenty of waiver-wire fodder this week for playoff-bound fantasy owners. Good idea to grab some insurance on that bench this week:

• Ryan Moats/Chris Brown, RB, Texans [If Steve Slaton continues to miss games]
• Louis Murphy, WR, Raiders [4-128-2]
• Robert Meachem, WR, Saints [8-142-1]
• Devin Thomas, WR, Redskins [7-100-2]
• Correll Buckhalter, RB, Broncos [113; 3-15]
• Kenny Britt, WR, Titans [3-46-1]
• Pierre Garcon, WR, Colts [6-136]
• Jerome Harrison, RB, Browns [35; 7-62-2]
• Davone Bess, WR, Dolphins [10-117-1]

Quarterbacks galore went off yesterday, and many of them sit on waiver wires in most leagues. If you need some insurance for a stud starter (I probably will add one of these guys to backup Matt Schaub in a few leagues), check the wire for these guys this week:

• David Garrard, Jaguars [238-2]
• Jason Campbell, Redskins [367-3]
• Vince Young, Titans [241-2]
• Brady Quinn, Browns [271-3]
• Alex Smith, 49ers [310-2]
• Chad Henne, Dolphins [335-2]

Keep checking back throughout the week to see what else there is to say about this year's fantasy playoffs.
