I have already explained my lack of time for blogging over these last two weeks or so, and this piece will also result in dramatic abbreviation. I was hoping to be able to post this waiver wire article before the start of the season, but time has flown for me.
These players are the players who have gone mainly undrafted, and I believe they will all have some sort of fantasy impact in either small parts of the season or throughout the season. Some will step up when a player ahead of them on the depth chart gets injured, while others are simply overlooked.
Here are the players you should be adding to your scout team...
Mike Thomas ~ performed well his rookie year, and has had nothing but high praise coming into this season. He is a wonderful PPR sleeper.
Jake Delhomme ~ has regained the little bit of arm strength he lacked last season.
Jason Campbell ~ always overlooked, but ended last season with very good performances.
Leonard Weaver ~ is a Mike Bell injury away from being the regular short-yardage/goalline RB in Philadelphia.
Keiland Williams ~ has Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson ahead of him on the depth chart, which causes me to be optimistic about his chances of getting on the field during the season.
Early Doucet ~ ended last year with hot performances, and could potentially outperform Steve Breaston.
Brandon LaFell ~ he will be the second WR and second overall receiving option in Carolina.
Deon Butler ~ Deion Branch is very injury prone, and Butler will step up when Branch is out of the lineup.
Josh Morgan ~ in his third year, and is always overlooked in drafts. He is an excellent
bye week replacement when the matchup is right.
Shawn Nelson ~ suspended for the first four games of the season, but he will return as the second best receiving option in Buffalo.
Andre Brown ~ picked up by a Broncos team dealing with an immense amount of RB injuries.
Tony Scheffler ~ he is essentially the slot receiver for the Lions.
Harry Douglas ~ on IR last season, and he should immediately have better numbers than Michael Jenkins.
Brandon Gibson/Danny Amendola ~ somebody has to step up as Sam Bradford's second receiving option behind Laurent Robinson. I'm not crazy about Mark Clayton being that guy.
Mario Manningham ~ easily overlooked with last year's breakout WR (Steve Smith) and this year's potential breakout WR (Hakeem Nicks) as his teammates.
Kevin Faulk ~ never gets drafted, always contributes to the fantasy team who picks him up.
Aaron Hernandez ~ more athletic TE and better receiver than Rob Gronkowski. Both guys will be inconsistent though.
Jared Cook ~ much better receiving TE than Bo Scaife and freakishly athletic.
James Davis ~ he is a Jerome Harrison injury away from being a big stat contributor.
Lance Moore ~ busted last year because he couldn't get healthy. He is healthy this season.
Sammy Stroughter ~ very overlooked second WR for the Bucs. I'm seeing Arrelious Benn getting drafted while Stroughter isn't even considered.
Anthony Armstrong ~ huge preseason performances put him ahead of Devin Thomas on the depth chart.
