INSIDE FANTASY
Barbin's WAIVER WIRE
Jordan Matthews: Owned by 6.4%
Sanchez has found his guy! After watching last week and this week’s games it’s clear that Sanchez loves to target Matthews. He has seen 20 targets the last 2 weeks, for 13 catches, 178 yards, 3TDs and 35.80 fantasy points. Rookies are always a big risk, but with the offense being run in Philly, and having good chemistry with Sanchez who could be
starting the rest of the regular season, I think he could be a very handy pickup and see plenty of targets.
Mark Sanchez: Owned by 8.7%
Talking about Sanchez, he is also on the waiver wire this week. A lot of people were impressed by what he brought to the table 2 week ago when he replaced the injured Nick Foles, and are now more impressed seeing what he can do as the starting QB. He threw for 332 yards, 2 TDs and a respectable 21.98 fantasy points. With the likes of Flacco, Romo, Newton & Roethlisberger still to have their bye week, he could be a
handy pick up to cover them - And who knows, he may get the starting role in your fantasy line-up as well.
C.J. Anderson: Owned by 1.7%
The Broncos run game is up in the air this week. With Hillman going down with an ankle injury and is said to be “day to day” by Coach John Fox. But It is likely he will miss 2-3 weeks, which could give Anderson the top job for more than 1 week. Montee Ball is expected to be active for this week’s match up against the Rams, but still hasn't had a full practice since a groin injury sustained in Week 5 which has kept him on the sidelines since. This is a week to watch for the Denver
running game, no matter who gets the starting role; it is fair to say Anderson will be getting an increased work load after his 163 all-purpose yards and 1 TD performance (22.30 fantasy points) last week.
Josh Gordon: Owned by 40.9%
Josh Gordon is due to come back after his suspension for the browns week 12 match up against the Falcons – whose secondary don’t mind giving up a receiving yard or 400. If you are one of those lucky people in the nearly 60% of leagues that don’t have Gordon on a roster,
send your waiver requests in ASAP! Last year he was fantasy gold with a subpar QB throwing him the ball and it can only get better this year with an in form Brian Hoyer. He could be the difference between winning and losing the bragging rights amongst you and your friends, and having that taste of sweet sweet success for the entire offseason.
