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 (48% Owned) – He’s coming off a bye week, but don’t forget he last time he took the field he had 128 receiving yards and a touchdown.

New York Giants WR Victor Cruz (47% Owned) – He now has double-digit PPR points in four straight games. You could do worse as a WR4 during the bye weeks.

Baltimore Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon (25% Owned) – He’s finally healthy and could be active for Week 5. It might take some time but there’s a chance be becomes the Ravens starting running back at some point. If that happens he could be a game changer in fantasy leagues.

New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan (24% Owned) – He hasn’t done much over the last two weeks but then again no Patriots receiver has without Tom Brady. Now that he’s back, Hogan’s numbers could see a nice boost.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Sammie Coates (17% Owned) – He’s coming off his best game of the season. In the Steelers high-powered offense he’s worth a speculative add because his physical attributes in that offense could pay big dividends if he happens to put it all together.

Chicago Bears QB Brian Hoyer (5% Owned) – In back-to-back weeks Hoyer has thrown multiple touchdown passes and over 300 yards. The Bears defense isn’t good and this should force Hoyer to throw late in a majority of games.
