2011 Fantasy Football Waiver-Wire Advice: NFL Week 14

Ryan Lester

Dec 12, 2011

There were some unusual heroes on Sunday. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.

John Skelton, QB, Arizona Cardinals

Skelton threw for 282 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He added 25 rushing yards. He seems to help Larry Fitzgerald’s value, but he’s not a guy I’d count on in Week 15.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

TOP NEWS

Joe Webb, QB, Minnesota Vikings

Webb threw for 84 yards and a score and added 109 rushing yards and another score. As impressive as he was, Ponder is still considered the starter.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Marion Barber, RB, Chicago Bears

My assumption is most people snatched him up, but if not, his 140 total yards (108 rushing) and touchdown should have done the trick.
Ruling: Get ‘em.

Ryan Grant, RB, Green Bay Packers

Grant ran for 85 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught a pass for 13 yards. With Starks banged up, Grant is a nice RB option.
Ruling: Get ‘em.

Felix Jones, RB, Dallas Cowboys

With DeMarco Murray getting injured, it's Felix's turn again. He has injury issues of his own and the team seems content letting Romo throw all the TDs, but he should be added nonetheless.
Ruling: Get ‘em.

T.J. Yates, QB, Houston Texans

Yates threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns with a pick. He added 36 yards on five carries. What’s even more impressive is he did it without Andre Johnson. While his job is secure, I couldn’t count on him at this point in the fantasy playoffs.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Donte’ Stallworth, WR, Washington Redskins

Stallworth caught four passes (six targets) for 96 yards. It was against the Patriots’ secondary though so be careful to put to much stock in the performance.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Demaryius Thomas, WR, Denver Broncos

Thomas did it again. Seven catches (13 targets) for 78 yards and a score. I suppose he should be owned, but you likely have to wait until the fourth quarter to get your points.
Ruling: Get ‘em.

Titus Young, WR, Detroit Lions

Young caught four passes (seven targets) for 87 yards and a touchdown. The Vikings have a brutal secondary, plus Stafford seems to pick a new target every week.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Kevin Boss, TE, Oakland Raiders

Boss caught five passes (seven targets) for 43 yards and a touchdown. He had two catches for 16 yards combined in his previous two games. Not worth the risk.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Owen Daniels, TE, Houston Texans

Daniels caught seven passes (10 targets). Yates has confidence in him, and he makes a solid TE1 as the year closes.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
