Before I begin the second installment of my waiver wire picks, we have to reflect on last week’s list and respect the accuracy of my calls. I talked up Marqise Lee last week and he did not disappoint. He gave you a beautiful toe dragging TD while adding in five catches for 66 yards. He’s asserted himself as a solid high floor WR2, and will continue to see a big target share as the Jaguars best receiving threat. Blake Bortles… Please don’t mess this up for all of us. Josh Mccown was a bad call for sure. He only got you a measly 2 points in standard scoring. Orleans Darkwa was solid but didn’t score. Charles Clay was a non factor. But hey Curtis Samuel was on his way to a very respectful game with five catches for 45 yards. Then he hurt his ankle and now reports say he’s done for the year. So overall I got you a solid player in Lee and the rest were missess. So let’s try this again.

Quarterback

I can’t believe I’m about to say this but you should pick up Jay Cutler if he’s available. Just hear me out because he’s been solid the last two games. His TD:INT ratio is 5-1 and the Dolphins have shown they can put up points. Cutler gets some pretty weak defenses coming up that shouldn’t scare you. He gets the Patriots twice, the Broncos who might have quit on the season, the Bills who definitely quit on the season (you already know I’m going to cook on them), and our beloved Chiefs. Say what you want about the Broncos defense still being elite but they have given up 92 points the last two games. It looks like they have thrown in the towel knowing Brock Osweiler is their quarterback. Don’t blame them at all honestly. Cutler should still put up numbers and is a high upside streamer heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Running Back

Don’t look now but Austin Ekeler is not waiting on you to notice that he’s a viable fantasy option. He had 119 total yards and seven catches on seven targets for two recieving touchdowns. He’ll never replace Melvin Gordon, but Ekeler has a role in this offense. It’s worth noting that he did have 10 rushes for 44 so he’s also a capable runner. He’s a good flex play right now and if Gordon got injured, Ekeler would be a borderline RB1. This week, he’ll get to take on a Buffalo Bills team that just got blasted by the New Orleans Saints 47-10.

Wide Receiver

If for some reason Corey Davis is still on the waiver wire like he is my league (three man benches ain’t for punks), you need to scoop him up. He’s playing in a Thursday night game so defenses for both teams could be sloppy. Davis would’ve had a TD in week 10, but he lost control of the ball diving for the end zone. He led the team with 10 targets and is beginning to get on the same page with Marcus Mariota. He could still play a factor for your team in the fantasy playoffs if you want a high floor big upside flex option.

The Browns are a sorry ass team with very few weapons on offense. The offense showed some life though last week, and now Corey Coleman is ready to roll in week 11. He was placed on IR after a hand injury in week 1 and is now set to make his return. Before his injury he had five catches for 55 yards and a touchdown. There were articles in the beginning of the season about how QB Deshone Kizer and Coleman were clicking during camp and preseason. Coleman is their best reciever based on talent and the Browns need help in the passing game. He’s a consideration in 12 team or deeper leagues.
