Week 8 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Steve Breaston and Waiver Wire Players You Must Grab

This week will be a crazy one in the world of fantasy football.

The Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons, Oakland Raiders, New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers all have the week off.

With so much premiere talent not taking the field this weekend, it's important to find sleepers on the waiver wire to replace players who are out.

Here are three players off the waiver wire you need to take a look at.

WR Steve Breaston (Kansas City Chiefs)

The Kansas City Chiefs are starting to kick it into gear.

After an 0-3 start to the season, the Chiefs have won their last three pulling their record to 3-3.

Much of the success has been the improvement on defense. However, the offense has shown key improvements as well.

One of those guys is wide receiver Steve Breaston.

Over the last three games, Breaston has 205 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

The Chargers are on upset alert this week against the Chiefs. Breaston could be one of those unaccounted for difference-makers.

RB Knowshon Moreno (Denver Broncos)

With Tim Tebow under center for Denver, the team is going to have a much heavier run-focused offense in coming weeks.

Last week, they rushed for 183 yards against the Dolphins. It was one of their better outings this year.

After a poor start to his career, Moreno was benched behind Willis McGahee this season.

McGahee is now down with a broken hand, meaning Moreno will be getting the bulk of the carries for at least one week.

The Broncos play the Lions this weekend. Detroit has shown one glaring weakness, and that is lack of run defense.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe (Minnesota Vikings)

Christian Ponder had a lot of positives and a lot of negatives in his first week as a starter for the Minnesota Vikings.

It's risky to put faith in a rookie quarterback, especially in fantasy football.

Where you can't go wrong, is with the guys he is throwing to.

A tight end as an outlet receiver is a rookie quarterback's best friend. Expect Visanthe Shiancoe to become more involved with this offense with Ponder at quarterback.
