Walking the Waiver Wire – 5 Guys to Consider

As mentioned in last Friday’s Rogers’ Report, early season waiver pick-ups can turn your average team into a playoff team. Here are this week’s top 5 free agents that could be available in your league, depending on roster sizes:

• Mike Bell – With Pierre Thomas sitting out Week 1 with a knee injury, former Bronco Mike Bell took full advantage of his opportunity, rushing for a career-high 143 yards on 28 carries.

Rogers’ Report

Coming to you LIVE from Hermosa Beach, the Rogers’ Report will feature fantasy football information ranging from ‘starts’ and ‘sits’ to player rankings. Here’s how we’re breaking it down for Week 1:

Part 1 – Starts and Sits – Obviously if you have the Drew Brees’ and Larry Fitzgerald’s of the world, you’d have to be a fool to bench those guys. The insight below highlights players who you may not start some weeks but are a solid play in others based on match-up, injuries and/or weather.  

Part 2 – Free Agent Play of the Week – There’s always that guy on the free agent wire that blows up and you think to yourself “Damn, I wish I knew to pick him up.” Well, look no further than the Rogers’ Report. We’ll give you that guy!

Part 3 – Big Balla Bust of the Week– Imagine if Tom Brady threw for 300 yards and 3 TD’s every week – hmm, that pretty much happened in 2007 but I digress. For those who aren’t married to Gisele and have multiple Super Bowl rings, there is the rest of the league. The Big Balla Bust of the week will bring you that one guy who just won’t live up to the hype.

Part 4 – Player Rankings

Got it? Good. Let’s get into it:
