Waiver Wire

Jaguars WR Mike Sims-Walker – If you haven’t picked this guy up yet. YOu more than likely missed the boat.

Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi – What a game this guy had catching 8 balls for 148 yards in Derek Anderson’s first start of the season. With Braylon Edwards out of the picture he should see plenty of looks throughout the season.

Jaguars QB David Garrard – Seems like he is getting his game back. A nice 4 game stretch coming up as well. Seattle and St. Louis up next, and Tennessee and KC after his week 7 bye. Great spot start

Browns RB Jerome Harrison - We have been pulling for this guy as soon as Jamal Lewis got hurt. Get him before he is gone. Even when Lewis comes back it will hard for the Browns not to give this kid the ball.

Eagles TE Brent Celek – Coming off his bye he should be available and will fill in nicely if you can get him. He will be a top 10 TE in fantasy stats by years end, and you will never have to worry about who to start at TE for the rest of the season.

Fantasy Football 2009 Week 5 Running Back Rankings

Post image for Fantasy Football 2009 Week 5 Running Back Rankings

1. Adrian Peterson (Minnesota Vikings) @ St. Louis – The best Running Back against the worst defense. Well at least the 24th worse. Good things. 130/2

2. Maurice Jones-Drew (Jacksonville Jaguars) @ Seattle – Have no fear MJD owners. It was just 1 game. Seattle has the 21st ranked rush defense. which isn’t terrible, but isn’t great. MJD will get back on track this week, even if the game is in Seattle. 120/1

3. Marion Barber (Dallas Cowboys) @ Kansas City – MB Thrice got a bit banged up a couple weeks ago. He came back strong with 13 carries for 68 yards and a TD. The Chiefs rush defense is ranked 23rd. If Barber stays healthy, his workload will increase. 110/1.5

4. Chris Johnson (Tennessee Titans) vs. Indianapolis – The only way to beat the Colts is to keep Peyton on the sideline. And it would a bad move for Jeff Fisher not to run CJ on every play. Every play. Indy’s rush defense is pretty good coming in at 16. All it will take is one long run to put CJ over the 100 yard mark. 115/1

5. Brandon Jacobs (New York Giants) vs. Oakland – You gotta love Jacobs this week. Oakland is fielding the 26th worse rush defense, and Eli has healinitis. Give the big man the rock baby. 110/1
