Week 7 Waiver Wire

QB:

Vince Young - You can officially stash Vince Young.  The Titans go on bye in week 7, but there's little question that Kerry Collins is just about done as the starter.  The Titans have nothing to lose anymore, and they need to see what they have in Young to determine if they'll need to take a QB next year.  Young still has physical talent, and he's worth stashing to see how he does.  He'll have solid weapons around him.

RB:

Laurence Maroney - You probably shouldn't have dropped him off the end of your roster unless you really needed the spot, but now is the time for Maroney.  With Fred Taylor out indefinitely and Sammy Morris now out as well, Maroney is the lone dog for early down carries with Faulk replacing him on passing downs.  He tore up what was previously a stingy Titans run defense, so he has some upside moving forward.  If you need RB help, use your waiver spot on him.

Justin Fargas - I hesitantly write this, but he's seemingly passed Michael Bush as the starter.  He'll get a good number of carries, though, so he's worth owning.  He'd only be usable in the right match up for desperate owners.

WR:

Michael Crabtree - Not only has he signed, but he's already passed Josh Morgan on the depth chart, and he'll start in week 7.  Add him immediately...he's worth the #1 waiver priority on a team that badly needs someone to step up at WR.

Hakeem Nicks - Nicks is officially breaking out, although he did his serious damage in garbage time, connecting with David Carr on a 37 yard TD.  He can't be relied upon immediately as Manningham is still starting and sharing snaps with him, but Nicks could pass him soon enough as Manningham keeps getting banged up.  Stash him.

Lance Moore - Moore finally showed signs of life, posting his best game of the season in week 6.  He's worth adding to see if he can replicate his great stretch run last season.

TE:

Zach Miller - He's back!  Miller has posted back to back solid games, and has re-emerged as a viable TE1 possiblity despite Jamarcus Russell.  We're all aware of the downside, but he's playing well again and is worth using again.
