Week 8 Waiver Wire: Demaryius Thomas and More WRs to Snag Immediately

Here's a look at three wide receivers, likely on waivers, who you should go after this week if you need help. 

Demaryius Thomas, Denver Broncos

You're going to have to temper your expectations because Tim Tebow throws it down field about as well as a monkey. Still though, Tebow's favorite weapon is clearly Thomas.

In the wideout's first game back from Achilles and finger injuries, he was targeted 10 times. The next closest were Eddie Royal and Daniel Fells with four each.

It was a little disappointing to see Thomas only pull in three of those targets for 27 yards, but he saved his fantasy day with a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Also, I'm willing to chalk up the ugly catch rate to all the time missed.

You've likely heard (with excess) about the skills that Thomas possesses. He has the speed and hands to be a clear No. 1 in the future, but it was still unknown how quickly he would be worked into the offense. Well, he was worked in very quickly. 

If you want a comparison, I like Thomas more than fellow wide receiver Eric Decker going forward. 

Greg Little, Cleveland Browns

You've been hearing Little's name for weeks now, but as long as he's owned in just nine percent of (ESPN) leagues, I'm going to keep advocating him.

Colt McCoy throws it down field less than any quarterback in this league, and Little, who is now a starter, is the perfect receiver for that type of offense.

The former UNC star is a converted running back and really excels after that catch. He's a good PPR option, but he also has the upside to turn a lot of those catches into big gains. 

Little got seven targets on Sunday, but he only pulled in five for 31 yards. It was a step back after two good weeks, but I think Little struggled with Seattle's physical corners. Most teams don't have corners as physical as the Seahawks', and you can expect Little to bounce back in the coming weeks.

Throw in the fact that Mohamed Massaquoi suffered a concussion on Sunday, and Little's workload should be huge going forward. Expect somewhere around 10 targets per game. 

Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers

Hines Ward left Sunday's game with an ankle injury. While his status for next week is unknown, Brown stands in line for a huge boost if Ward can't go.

Even with Ward in the lineup, Brown has had good value as a PPR option. He received nine targets (that he turned into seven catches for 102 yards) on Sunday, and that's not the first time he has led the Steelers in looks.

Brown is a terrific bye-week filler who has the upside to continue starting, especially in PPR leagues.
