The Best Waiver Wire Picks

The waiver wire is literally the single most powerful tool you can use to dominate your league. When hitting the waiver wire your goal is simple, replace your slackers with starters. You'll be temped to hold onto your draft picks because of the investment you made. Resist the urge to hold on to dead weight. Each season we see guys rise and fall. Drop the players that are failing and pick up the guys that are rising, it's that simple.

Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 are the most critical! During the opening weeks you'll see wide receiver battles flesh themselves out, typically at the WR2 position or slot. Running back platoons (RBBC) may change as one runner rises above the rest enough to warrant a starting position on your team. Tight ends that no one saw coming put together several strong games and become solid depth or trade bait. Lastly, quarterbacks and team defenses can be streamed. We publish the best waiver wire picks every week, see below for our most recent picks.

Week 2 Defense Waiver Wire Pickups

September 10, 2013 by Kurt Turner

Now that the regular season has finally arrived, an enormous percentage of your focus each week will involve decisions concerning RBs, WRs, TEs, and your signal callers.

Terrelle Pryor Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickup

September 10, 2013 by Kurt Turner

If you were shocked by the accomplishments of Terrelle Pryor in Week 1, do not judge yourself too harshly. Raiders’ General Manager Reggie McKenzie and Head Coach Dennis Allen certainly did not demonstrate much confidence in Pryor before he seized the starting QB slot with an impressive performance against Chicago during the preseason. He was […]

Julius Thomas Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickup

September 10, 2013 by Kurt Turner

Tight ends continue to alter the fantasy landscape, and yet another appealing option vaulted into prominence in Week 1. Entering his opening night matchup against Baltimore, Julius Thomas had only managed a grand total of one reception for five yards during two undistinguished seasons as a professional. His career began with great promise, as Thomas performed impressively during his […]

Julian Edelman Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickup of the Week

September 10, 2013 by Greg Brosh

Patriots WR Julian Edelman kicks off Fantasy Knuckleheads’ new individual Week 2 Waiver Wire pieces for the new season. We’ll still include a full waiver wire list, like you saw on my Week Two Waiver Wire piece from Monday. But with these guys, they are the crème de la crème. The guys you should be looking […]

Kellen Winslow: A Week 2 Waiver Wire Hidden Gem?

September 10, 2013 by Greg Brosh

Of all the tight ends in the NFL, I never thought I’d list Jets TE Kellen Winslow as a Week 2 Waiver Wire pickup option. In a career filled with promise and a problematic knee, Winslow’s debut as a Jet could give him a chance at resurrecting what was once considered a dead career. Lets […]
