Other Receiving Votes

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

Washington Redskins TE Vernon Davis (23% Owned) – That is now back-to-back solid games Davis has had filling in for the injured Jordan Reed. If Reed misses his third-straight game, Davis will once again be on the TE1 map with a good matchup against the Bengals.

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Ivory (48% Owned) – By no means is he a priority add but he is somebody to consider. Teammate T.J. Yeldon has only out-touched Ivory once out the last four games and Ivory is also the goal-line running back. The combination of these two factors makes Ivory the better running back to own in Jacksonville.

Washington Redskins RB Rob Kelley (1% Owned) – As mentioned earlier, Matt Jones fumbling issue is becoming a real problem. Chris Thompson should get first crack at more touches but Kelley could see some too. The rookie scored his first career NFL touchdown last week.

New England Patriots RB Dion Lewis (27% Owned) – He could be nearing a return soon from injury.

Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (40% Owned) – He too could be nearing a return soon from injury and could have a role with Christine Michael failing to rush for more than 66 yards in five out of six games this season.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith (38% Owned) – Smith is a decent streaming option this week against the Colts. If you need quarterback help, he could be your guy.
