October 12, 2008

With another week of fantasy footballin the books, it means it's time to look at the Week 7 Waiver Wire. When looking back at the slate of games entering the weekend, it didn’t appear that there were too many appealing matchups. Then the games started and we were treated to incredible finishes by St. Louis, Arizona, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Houston and Minnesota. In fact, the Eagles scored a whopping 23 points in the fourth quarter against to beat the 49ers by a final score of 40-26.

And in case you were wondering, the Detroit Lions and the Cincinnati Bengals are still winless and it appears both teams will be fighting it out for the top draft pick in April. Enough with that talk, lets cut to the action, as the Bruno Boys bring to you their weekly Waiver Wire article.

QUARTERBACK

Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons)

Matt Ryan is a rookie now only by experience. Ryan has been making steady improvement all season. The last three weeks the team has asked him to pass more and Ryan has passed the test, throwing for 653 yards, three touchdowns and just one interception while completing 60.8 percent of his passes.

Take a look at the remaining schedule for the Falcons and you’ll see that they have games left against weak passing defenses in Oakland, New Orleans, Denver, St. Louis and Minnesota. Ryan would make for a fine backup in any league and the more experience he gets, the better he will be.

RUNNING BACKS

Dominic Rhodes (Indianapolis Colts)

Starter Joseph Addai and backup Mike Hart left the Colts’ 31-3 win over the Ravens and it was Rhodes that came in for them. Rhodes rushed 25 times for 73 yards and one touchdown against one of the toughest run defenses in the league. Rhodes is back in Indianapolis after two disappointing seasons in Oakland and he couldn’t be happier. The veteran is a perfect in the Colts run offense as his great vision allows him to play well on the stretch plays the team so often likes to run.

The injury to Hart’s knee looks like it may be a bad one so don’t expect him back anytime soon. In the post game press conference, head coach Tony Dungy said he expected Addai would be alright for next week’s game at the Green Bay Packers, but we all know that hamstring injuries are kind of weird in the way that it takes them forever to heal. If Addai can’t go, Rhodes is definitely worth a pick up.
