Week 11: Waiver Wire

QB:

Jon Kitna - He might not have been picked up all over, and he might have been dropped after a slow start.  He needs to be owned in all leagues as a solid QB2 with QB1 potential in the right matchups.  He defied all odds with a monster game against the Giants of all teams, and Jason Garrett clearly had the Cowboys playing in a way Wade Phillips couldn't.  He will make mistakes, but he's surrounded by elite talent.

Shaun Hill - With Stafford likely out for the season, Hill will probably start for the remainder of it.  He showed no ill effects from the fractured forearm that he was returning from.  He profiles similarly to Kitna above, although he will make less big plays due to a weaker arm, but he'll also make less mistakes.  He's also surrounded by excellent talent and makes for a solid QB2 down the stretch.

Kevin Kolb - Non-Vick owners are probably starting to drop Kevin Kolb, but all Vick owners would be smart to grab him as one of the few QB handcuffs worth owning.  Should something happen to Vick, Kolb would immediately become a low-end QB1.

RB:

Keiland Williams - Williams filled in admirably in week 10's blowout.  He's not especially talented, but if Torain and Portis sit out again in week 11, he'll get the bulk of the work for the Skins and be a reasonable RB2.

Mike Goodson - He unquestionable should have been picked up already, but since I didn't get to my waiver wire article last week, I'll profile him here.  He's a small-ish scat back who performed well last week.  Needless to say, his fantasy value is directly related to the absences of Williams and Stewart.  The plan all along has been to get Williams back this week, but his owners would be smart to grab Goodson.

Jerome Harrison - Harrison looked outstanding, although by the time he started getting many carries the game was completely out of hand.  Regardless, his skill set is a perfect fit within the Eagles offense, and he would have low-end RB1 value should McCoy get hurt.  McCoy owners would be smart to grab him this week to protect their RB1.

WR:

Mike Thomas - The catch heard round the fantasy world made for good headlines, but this is not a guy you want starting on your team on a weekly basis.  He does have another nice matchup this week, and he'd make for a solid WR3 option with additional upside if Mike Sims-Walker misses time.  Might as well ride out the hot streak the Jaguars passing attack is on.

Nate Burleson - He's a decent stash given the Lions simply can't run the ball effectively, but he's clearly the 2nd fiddle in the offense for obvious reasons.  He skill set does fit Shaun Hill better than Stafford, however, and that's why he's worth a shot.

TE:

Jermaine Gresham - Gresham had a huge game, but most of it came in the 4th quarter when the Bengals were passing incessantly.  Don't bother.

Rob Gronkowski - It's curious that he played that much more than Aaron Hernandez who's had problems with drops recently.  Given how much Brady likes throwing to his TEs this season, he's worth a TE2 stash to see if he overtakes Hernandez in the pecking order.
