Week 7 – Fantasy Waiver Wire Pickups

Still looking for that edge this weekend?  Perhaps you’re playing your arch nemesis co-writer on your sports blog and you’re already down 40 because of Gronk and Shane fucking Vereen.  Well, we’re here to help me you power through and bring home the victory.

Son of a bitch.

Son of a bitch.

Odell Beckham, Jr., WR, Giants (49%)

We told you to pick up ODB, like sooo two weeks ago, when he was only owned in 6% of leagues.  It made sense then, and now, with Victor Cruz out for the year, it makes a shitload of sense.  Beckham, Jr., despite having a Plaxico Burress-like practice schedule, has quickly established rapport for Eli Manning.  He fits perfectly in the G-Men’s quick passing attack, and has a great matchup against Dallas this week.  Odell’s a WR2 from here on out.

Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver (56%)

Ronnie’s likely been picked up already, but if you’re in one of the 44% of leagues where he’s still available, he is a must grab (also, send us an invite to join that league).  With Montee Ball hurt, plus generally being a non-factor when healthy, the job is Ronnie’s for the taking.  Even though it seems like Denver has a stable of running backs, Hillman got the bulk of the carries last week, and ened with 24 touches for 100 yards.

Blake Bortles, QB, Jacksonville (11%)

We think Blake’s a Top 10 QB this week, and would start him over the likes of Kaepernick, Roethlisberger, Flacco, and Romo.  It’s all about the matchups baby, and Blake’s got a good one at home against Cleveland.  Last week, on the road against the Titans, Blake notched his first 300 yard game, completing 32 of 46 (yes, 46) pass attempts, for an impressive 336/1 stat line (and 1 int).  The Jags aren’t afraid to throw the ball, and he has a young core of surprisingly good receivers.  Plus, his girlfriend’s super hot.  That’s worth something, right?

Yowza!
