NFL Week 6 Fantasy Waiver Wire Pickups

1.) Devin Hester (WR-CHI) – Hester is developing well into a WR. He’s scored twice in his last two games and had a season high 5 receptions for 63 yards against the Lions. Pretty much anyone who plays against the Lions will do well, but TDs against the Eagles don’t come too easy. With Brandon Lloyd sidelined with a bum knee, that only mean more looks to Hester.

2.) Kyle Orton (QB-CHI) – It looks like Chicago has found their QB with Kyle Orton. In my league, Orton is averaging mroe fantasy points a game than Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger. If you need a backup, go with Orton. He’s the 12th ranked fantasy QB so far this year. He has an 86.7 passer ratings and has thrown 7 TDs in his last 3 games.

3.) Kevin Faulk (RB-NE) – Forget Mahroney, LaMont Jordan, or Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk seems to be the Pats runningback that will produce fantasy points. He should get the share of goalline carries. He had 2 touchdowns last game with 32 yards on the ground and another 29 through the air.

4.) Correll Buckhalter (RB-PHI) – Not only does Westbrook have a sprained ankle, he’s now dealing with fractured ribs. If Westbrook has to miss some time, Buckhalter will be a solid fantasy back.
