Waiver Wire Wednesday!

Waiver wire pickups went through this morning, and although the pickings are very slim teams always manage to find a few players worth taking a chance on.

1. The big spender this week is the Bad Newz Kennels, shelling out 40 big ones for Tony Gonzo. Not a bad investment in my opinion as he has scored 4 touchdowns in the last 3 games. He doesn't get a ton of yards but he gets the redzone looks which is enough for a productive TE.


2. For 37$ Winter is Coming picked up Ryan Torain. Probably was a little bit of an overpayment for a player of his caliber but they wanted to be sure to get him hoping to replace RB depth lost by the injury to Jamaal Charles.


3. Bad Newz Kennels on the board again picking up Jacoby Jones for $26. With Andre Johnson out 3 weeks Jones is a lock to see an increased workload.


4. Same goes for Isaac Redman, who went to the Polar Gooks for $20. If Rashard Mendenhall misses any time Redman with be the main beneficiary.


5. NGGR picked up the Lions Titus Young for $16. A great pickup for a pretty low price, with Nate Burleson struggling to get targets the past few weeks it looks like Titus could possibly pass him up and move in to the starting lineup.


6. Polar Gooks dropped the Eagles D for the 49ers D for $13. Normally I would be very skeptical of this pick because...its the 49ers. but right now they have the number 3 ranked defense NFL are first place in the NFC West, and still have plenty of games left against NFC West opponents.


7. The Kennels added DHB for $11 dollars. Hes coming off a big 13 point week but has only scored 4 total in the other 3 weeks. He definitely has the speed to have a big game or two but im not convinced he has anything else.


8. Kennels again with their 4th pick up of the week, snag the Titans D for 6$


9. No surprise that 'Brees in here?' finally gives up on the banged up, young Pats D that currently ranks last in the league in Pass defense and 26th in run defense. They picked up the Texans D for $6. A good long term pickup but this week they play the Raiders, and Darren McFadden will try his best to ruin their day.


10. The finaly waiver wire pickup this week was by the number one team in the league right now TDs 4 thumbs down. THey grab Jabar Gaffney while he is getting mor involved in the redskins offense for $6, and drop Scott Chandler, who is good at getting in the endzone but not much else.
