\"Fantasy<\/a>Last week we struck some fantasy gold and some fantasy coal.\u00a0 Blake showed up and tossed 2 tds (now tied with Aaron Rodgers for 3rd overall), and Stefon Diggs looks to be the number 1 option in Minnesota, with another solid performance, going 6\/108\/1.\u00a0 Let\u2019s get right to this week\u2019s top waiver wire pickups.<\/p>\n

Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB Jets (36%)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Fear<\/a>

Fear the Beard!<\/p><\/div>\n

You think Bill O\u2019Brien wants a do over, having jettisoned Fitz-magic to the Jets in favor of Brain Hoyer and (recently released) Ryan Mallet?\u00a0 Fitzpatrick has put together a consistent first half of the season\u2026tossing a td in every game.\u00a0 The Jets have a good matchup against the Raiders this week.\u00a0 Fitz is a Top 10 fantasy qb this week, and should flirt with 250 and 2 tds.<\/p>\n

Marvin Jones, WR Cincinnati (49%)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With Andy Dalton having a career year, and quickly moving up the ranks of Top Ginger Athlete (look out Shaun White) Marvin has become one of the biggest benefactors.\u00a0 Yes, having a ginger around you will make you better.\u00a0 With AJ Green getting constant double teams, Marvin has stepped up.\u00a0 He\u2019s coming off a bye and his last game posted a 9\/95\/1 performance.\u00a0 The Bengals should be well rested and fired up to play the rival Steelers.\u00a0 Marvin should have plenty of opportunities to reach double digit points on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Michael Floyd, WR Arizona (49%)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Top<\/a>

Top 1-2 duo?<\/p><\/div>\n

Floyd is coming off of back to back td performances, and has established himself as a reliable fantasy option.\u00a0 He\u2019s not going to run past anyone, but he\u2019s established himself in the Anquan Boldin role.\u00a0 Solid possession receiver, and the Cards top redzone option.\u00a0 Arizona has a great matchup against Cleveland this weekend.\u00a0 Look for Floyd to continue his td streak.<\/p>\n

Eric Ebron, TE Detroit (49%)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ebron has quietly put together an impressive first half, and starting to live up to his first round draft pick status. \u00a0It\u2019s surprising he\u2019s only owned in 49% of leagues.\u00a0 He\u2019s tied (with Greg Olsen) for 5th<\/sup> in tds by tight ends, and has scored more than Jimmy Graham a.\u00a0 His problem is he doesn\u2019t get much yards per game, but he get a lot of redzone looks.\u00a0 Stafford has had a bit of a resurgence the past couple weeks, and Ebron should get some looks this weekend against the struggling Chiefs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
