In just after week 2, you’re already making transactions looking to improve your roster wherever you can. There has been a slew of injuries that are leaving you looking for a Plan B or your top draft picks are already letting you down. Here are the top waiver moves after week 2.
There are some concerns for RGIII owners. Although he’s actually put up solid back-to-back 20+ point games in week 1 and week 2, Robert Griffin III has been awful in the first half and clearly should take the blame for the losses in both weeks. His mechanics are off because of the knee injury and he’s afraid to get hit. There’s already talk that if the Redskins go 0-3, Shanahan should bench RGIII until he’s healthy and go with Kirk Cousins. Redskins fans are already calling for Cousins. If there is a QB controversy in Washington, you better start looking elsewhere for a reliable backup if you don’t already have one.
At the top of the QB waiver wire, I would take Philip Rivers. Rivers is looking good again despite not having a true #1 receiver. He has a bunch of roleplayers and he’s making it work. With a Malcom Flloyd, Eddie Royal, a healthy Antonio Gates, and now Danny Woodhead to work with on 3rd down, he has plenty of weapons at his disposal to work with. Ken Wissenhunt has been doing a great job with this offense and the Chargers offense should be back to the 27 PPG offense that we’ve been used to in year’s past when Rivers was a fantasy stud in the 2008-2011 years where Rivers averaged about 30 TD/year and threw for over 4,000 yards every single season. The Chargers are …

Question: I need some help picking my RB/WR/FLEX for week 12.
I’m in a 12-man PPR league.
RB: Peyton Hillis, Beanie Wells, Donald Brown, Danny Woodhead. (Pick 2)
WR: Roddy White, Andre Johnson, Mike Wallace, Santana Moss, Mike Thomas (Pick 2)
Flex: Anyone out of the RB or WR above. (Pick 1)
Thoughts? I have too many good WR to choose from and not enough RB choices. I am 6-5 so far this year, with 3 losses by under 10 points.
Best answer:
RB: I would go with Hillis and Woodhead.
WR: Start Roddy White, Andre Johnson and Mike Wallace. Those are all very easy choices. You have great wide receivers, but running back is a problem.
FLEX: Beanie Wells.

Question: Who should I start at WR in week 11?
I’m in a 3WR league. I already starting DeSean Jackson.
I need to pick two more out of the following:
Pierre Garcon @ NE- Is a horrible pass catcher now and don’t know if he can be trusted especially with Manning’s eyes
Danny Woodhead vs. IND – He can be used as a WR/RB in my league and this could benefit since the Colts are horrible against the run.
Stevie Johnson @ CIN – Bengals have some of the best CBs in the league and managed to shut down the Colts pass attack and this might force the Bills to run the football throughout the game.
Randy Moss vs. WAS – Has a habbit of laying an egg just about every single week and now he’s up against a weak Redskins D but can I trust him?
Best answer:
Garçon and Moss should reward you. Woodhead is limited because of Green-Ellis and Bradys love of “spreading the ball” around. Stevie Johnson will only get you around 4 catches for 48 yards if you’re lucky. Wayne will almost get double cover and should open up space for Garcon. Roll the dice with Garçon and Moss.
