Week 11 Waiver Wire: Vince Young, Denarius Moore and Others to Add

Zach KruseNov 15, 2011

QB Vince Young, Eagles

Every owner is looking for that one big splash on the waiver wire, and there might also be a few who are looking for a starter this week with Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger on their byes. Insert Young as the most likely answer. We don't know for sure, but he'll likely start for Michael Vick (ribs) on Sunday night against the Giants. It's not the greatest of matchups, but Young has Tebow-like potential for fantasy points.

QB Matt Leinart, Texans

The Texans are on a bye this week, but Leinart looks like the long-term starter at quarterback in Houston after Matt Schaub was lost for the season. While the Texans will likely become a more run-heavy team under Leinart, there's enough offensive weapons to think he could post some of his best numbers down the stretch in 2011.

RB Lance Ball, Broncos

Speaking of run-heavy, the Denver Broncos are that idea in motion. With Tim Tebow at quarterback, the Broncos have completely redesigned their offense to lean exclusively on the ground.

Against the Chiefs, Denver ran the ball 55 times and threw it just eight, a ratio that's unheard of in this era of NFL football. The Broncos did it without top running backs Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno, too, and Ball was the one of carried the load (30 rushes, 96 yards).

As long as that ratio holds and McGahee and Moreno are out, Ball is a flex option to start right away.

WR Denarius Moore, Raiders

I was surprised to see that Moore was owned in less than 32 percent of ESPN leagues, but there was some downtime between his hot start to the season and Thursday night's two-touchdown performances against the Chargers. With Carson Palmer under center in Oakland, Moore's numbers should start to resemble that of a normal No. 1 receiver.

WR Earl Bennett, Bears

There has always been talk about the chemistry between Jay Cutler and Bennett, who were college teammates at Vanderbilt. In the past two weeks, however, the duo has finally transitioned that cohesiveness into a solid fantasy foundation. During that stretch, Bennett has 11 catches for 176 yards and a score.

TE Jacob Tamme, Colts

This might be a reach, but Tamme got plenty of looks in the Colts offense last week with Dallas Clark on the shelf. Six catches for 75 yards is nothing to sneeze at. Tight end is obviously an important enough position for Indianapolis that even Tamme can become fantasy relevant.
