Week 9 Waiver Wire

We're getting into the part of the season where there's very few people worth picking up.  I'll note down the best of what's left here this week.

QB:

Vince Young - He's probably not going to be asked to do much, but he looked solid in a good match up.  He was a QB1 down the stretch in his rookie year, and his talent hasn't gone away.  His head is another story, but he could emerge as a good QB2.

Alex Smith - Just another reminder that he should be owned as he's a reasonable QB2.

RB:

Ryan Moats - Let's not get too excited because Steve Slaton isn't going anywhere, but Moats certainly earned playing time after carving up Buffalo last week.  He has a solid all-around game, and Slaton's fumbles are a real problem.  Slaton remains way too talented in the receiving game, however, so the exact carry split is unknown at this point.  He's definitely worth owning, though.

Jamaal Charles - Another reminder.  He's going to start in week 9 and needs to be owned to see what comes of it.

Justin Forsett - I've mentioned him once before, but with the release of Edgerrin James, he's the clear number two with only Julius Jones ahead of him.  Jones has had a few moments this year, but he's been mostly unimpressive.  Expect them to get Forsett more involved as they need to be a pass-first offense moving forward despite their offensive line issues.

WR:

Malcolm Floyd - Hope you stashed him like I suggested last week.  He's worth using the #1 waiver priority on this week.  Floyd started last week, and while he caught only 2 passes, he showed his usual big play potential.  Chris Chambers has since been released, which is a good vote of confidence for Floyd.  He'll be #3 in the passing game picking order behind VJax and Gates, but SD passes plenty to make him a WR3.

TE:

Dustin Keller - In case someone dropped him during his slump, you should grab him again after a great week 8.  He'll be inconsistent on a run-first offense with Edwards and Cotchery demanding targets, but he's by far the best of what's out there, especially for Owen Daniels owners.

Chris Cooley - Cooley went from being out for the year to being out for only a month.  The Skins passing attack sucks, but Cooley had been productive and should be owned for when he comes back in a few weeks.
