Week 13 Waiver Wire: Vince Young and Others You Must Avoid

On the Week 13 waiver wire, the following six players should be guys you avoid.

Vince Young, Eagles

Young's 400 yards and a score against the Patriots helped fantasy owners in a quarterback pinch this week, but that should be over with the ensuing return of Michael Vick (ribs).

Young will return to the bench. If he's still on your roster, it'd probably be best to put him back on the waiver wire. 

Rex Grossman, Redskins

Grossman has thrown for more than 290 yards with two scores in back-to-back games, but like we saw earlier this season, the real Rex is due to show his face soon.

It'll likely be this weekend, as the Redskins welcome the New York Jets and their stingy pass defense in Week 13. 

Caleb Hanie, Bears

Hanie rebounded from a rough start to throw for 254 yards and two scores plus another 50 yards rushing. Those numbers put Hanie as the eighth-best fantasy quarterback of Week 13, but I wouldn't expect Hanie to be a regular in the top 10 during the final five games of the season.

He's going to be a big turnover risk, and not every secondary left on the Bears schedule is as poor as the Raiders. 

Anthony Armstrong, Redskins

After just one catch in his previous eight games, Armstrong finally found the end zone in 2011 with a 50-yard touchdown reception.

Has he found his explosive ways from 2010? I wouldn't bank on it.

Santana Moss, Jabar Gaffney and Fred Davis all see too many targets for Armstrong to be a consistent fantasy option.

Brad Smith, Bills

Smith has become more of a factor in the Bills passing game over the past two weeks, and he scored his first receiving touchdown of the season against the Jets on Sunday.

Still, Smith had just eight total catches before this week, and he's the fourth or fifth option in the Bills' passing game. Unless there is an injury in front of him, I'm not sure Smith will be much of a fantasy factor.

Riley Cooper, Eagles

Much like Vince Young, Cooper's fantasy value is going to drop this week if Jeremy Maclin is able to return to the lineup.

Potentially losing Young at quarterback hurts, too, as Young and Cooper have a much better chemistry than Cooper and Vick. The two-game stretch of more than 70 yards receiving will likely end in Week 13.
