Pickups: Week 16

jharrison

This is our version of the waiver wire. Here we will break down our weekly pickups by the size of the league because, well, it just doesn’t make sense otherwise. As with our Contentious Starts and Sits, please leave comments calling us out or adding to the waivers list. If your thoughts are solid we will stick your words right in the post…

Eight Teams

Jerome Harrison – CLE, RB – After rushing for 286 yards and 3 TDs against the Chiefs on Sunday, it’s pretty obvious why Harrison would be a nice pickup. The Raiders have a pretty terrible run defense, too, so he’s a must start this week.

Ten Teams

Jermichael Finley – GB, TE – Finley has been on a roll recently and should finish the season off strong. Over the last three weeks, he’s caught 22 passes for 233 yards and 3 TDs. If you don’t have one of the top tight ends, definitely get Finley if he’s still available.

Vince Young – TEN, QB – Young looked as good as he ever has on Sunday against the Dolphins. His numbers ended up being solid (236 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT), but what was most impressive was his accuracy. Tennessee faces San Diego and Seattle to finish the season, so Young should have two more good games.

Beanie Wells – ARI, RB – Wells has scored in two straight games now and he should finish strong. He might not get 20 carries, but he will get most of the red zone looks. The Cards face the Rams this week, so he’s a pretty good option.

John Carlson – SEA, TE – Carlson had his best game since Week 1 on Sunday as he caught seven passes for 86 yards and a TD. He should continue to be targeted both inside and outside red zone.

Twelve Teams

Maurice Morris – DET, RB – In his first game as the Lions’ #1 RB, Morris rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown. He also caught 5 passes for another 35 yards. He might not be the best option this week against the 49ers, but he’ll probably have a nice game against the Bears next week.

Matt Moore – CAR, QB – It seems like Moore is finally comfortable with running the Panthers offense. He passed for 299 yards and three touchdowns with no picks on Sunday against a pretty good Vikings D.

Devin Aromashodu – CHI, WR – It’s pretty obvious that Jay Cutler likes throwing the ball to Aromashodu. He’s targeted him 22 times over the last two games. If Devin Hester doesn’t play again this week, look for Aromashodu to have a good game. He’d probably be a better option next week against the Lions, though.
