Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 16
December 19th, 2011 kNuke
Welcome to Championship week! If you’re still breathing there’s a good chance your stars carried you to victory. Guys like Brees, Megatron, Brady, McCoy, Romo, and Roddy Roddy White posted big time numbers. Along were some surprises like Spiller, Stafford, Tebow, Bush, and the Seattle DEF/ST. High fives all around if you had Drew Brees on your fantasy squad.

Matt Moore: The Patriots give it up in the air so the match up is solid. If you need a hail mary mother of god play on championship week put your hands together for Matty Nice.
Lance Ball: If Willis McGahee is out you could slot Ball in as a solid RB2. Talk about a nice present to receive at this time of year.
Donald Brown: He’s been playing well the past few weeks and seems to be getting the majority of the carries. That being said Joseph Addai still looms, which keeps Brown in the grey area. Add the bad match up this week and Brown is a low end Flex play.
Kahlil Bell: Even though he’s splitting time with Marion Barber expect Bell to rack up some points in the passing game against the Packers (assuming the 49ers win tonight). Don’t get overly excited, but a low end Flex play is not bad off for a backup running back.
Demaryius Thomas: Make that three great games in a row. Same spiel as last week with an average match up. Jump on board the Titletown train with Thomas posting WR2 numbers again this week.
Darrius Heyward-Bey: DHB has put together a couple of solid weeks in a row. Not a very good match up against the Chiefs, but the big play ability is there. That’s probably worth the gamble at WR3.
Brent Celek or Jared Cook: Both of these guys are coming off solid games with good upcoming match ups. Celek is most likely the popular choice, but if he’s not there Cook is another option.
Tennessee DEF/ST: The Titans didn’t show up as advertised last week in Indianapolis, but tis the season of second chances.
Send me stuff on Twitter @kNuke. I’ll be posting updates and answering questions throughout the week.
