Fantasy Football: Marshawn Lynch and The Last-Minute Waiver-Wire Must-Have's

With the fantasy playoffs around the corner, it would be wise to re-evaluate your squad and fix the holes in your roster immediately.

There are still some very talented players, such as Deion Branch, Ben Obomanu and Chris Ivory, that remain on the waiver-wire in many leagues all over.  

A key pick-up in Week 14 could be that extra push that your team needs to become Fantasy Football League Champions.

Add the following players to your roster where needed.

Stats From Week 13

Fantasy Points From Week 13

Branch has been a dangerous weapon for quarterback Tom Brady of late, scoring three total touchdowns in his past two games.  

Against the tough defense of the Chicago Bears in Week 14, Branch will prove to be a reliable target recording at least a touchdown.

Fantasy Points From Week 13

After going scoreless the first ten weeks of this season, Chris Ivory has been explosive in his last three performances scoring a total of five touchdowns.  

Against the mediocre rushing defense of St. Louis, Ivory will extend his touchdown streak reaching the endzone for the fourth consecutive week.

@ Miami Dolphins: 10 Receptions for 100 Yards and a Touchdown

Fantasy Points From Week 13

After remaining silent for the past few weeks, Benjamin Watson had a stellar performance in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins.  Watson now looks to take advantage of his weak opponent on Sunday, facing one of the worst defenses in the NFL, the Buffalo Bills.  

Watson is still available in many fantasy leagues, only being owned by 36.8% of teams.

Stats From Week 13

@ Detroit Lions: Seven Receptions for 104 Yards

Fantasy Points From Week 13

Chicago Head Coach Lovie Smith told the Bears' official site that Earl Bennett is "becoming one of the go-to guys."  The past two weeks Bennett has played exceptionally well, recording a total of 11 catches for 160 yards and touchdowns.  

The real test is to see how effective Bennett can be against the dangerous Patriots defense that completely shutdown the New York Jets in Week 13.

Vs. New England Patriots(10-2)

Stats From Week 13

@ Cincinnati Bengals: Three Receptions for 106 Yards and a Touchdown

Fantasy Points From Week 13

Meachem doesn't make a bunch of receptions every game, but is a dangerous deep threat against his opponents, recording at least six catches for over 30 yards this season.  

Against the fairly weak passing defense of the St. Louis Rams, Meachem should see a lot of action on Sunday.

Fantasy Points From Week 13

After his most productive performance of the season, scoring three touchdowns, Marshawn Lynch must come up big again in an important NFC West battle against the San Francisco 49ers.  

Following his dominating Week 13 performance, Marshawn Lynch told FanHouse, "This is just a stepping stone. We got to go from here, take it for what it was worth and now we got a bigger one coming up next week."

Stats From Week 13

Vs. New York Jets: 18 Carries for 72 Yards and Two Touchdowns; One reception for Seven Yards

Fantasy Points From Week 13

BenJarvus Green-Ellis has been absolutely dominant of late, scoring five touchdowns in the last three games.  

Green-Ellis will have his work cut out for him this week against the 2nd overall rushing defense of the Chicago Bears, who only give up an average of 84.9 yards per game.
