Other Receiving Votes

Here are a few more names you want to consider when you go through your fantasy football waiver wire.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Darren Sproles (40% Owned) – The Eagles continue to get Sproles work in their offense and with Ryan Mathews nursing an ankle injury, it can only help his outlook. The Eagles are on a bye-week and he might fall through the cracks in waiver-wire adds with owners looking for immediate help.

New York Giants WR Victor Cruz (50% Owned) – In all three games in 2016, Cruz either has 70+ yards receiving or a touchdown.

New Orleans Saints WR Michael Thomas (48% Owned) – The Saints arguably have the worse defense in the NFL and this will force their offense to throw a ton. After three games, Thomas is on pace for 91 receptions.

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill (44% Owned) – Is Tannehill a good NFL quarterback? Eh. The jury is still out on that. However, after three games he has six total touchdowns and is averaging 297 passing yards per game.

New York Jets WR Quincy Enunwa (34% Owned) – Don’t throw the towel in on Enunwa after last week’s debacle. The most important takeaway is he led the team in targets with 11.

Minnesotta Vikings RB Matt Asiata (26% Owned) – He didn’t do much with this seven touches last week but on the bright side, Jerick McKinnon didn’t do much with his 17 touches either.

Dallas Cowboys WR Cole Beasley (21% Owned) – Over the first three games Beasley is averaging six-plus receptions and 71 yards. It’s nothing spectacular but he’s a solid WR3/FLEX option in PPR leagues.

Washington Redskins WR Jamison Crowder (17% Owned) – Just like with Beasley, Crowder isn’t anything spectacular but he is a solid add in PPR leagues. After three games, he’s tied for first on the team in targets (24) and in receptions (16). His two touchdown receptions leads the team.
