Waiver Wire Week 7

Mark Brunell: If he is somehow still out there grab him. He has looked very good the last few weeks and clearly there is a good connection between him and Santana Moss. With a good defense and the running game struggling, Brunell might just keep this up.

Jeff Garcia: Joey Harrington’s days are numbered. Garcia is already practicing and he might even be available this Sunday. Detroit has the weapons to score; they just need a guy like Garcia to spread the ball around. He will.

Aaron Stecker: Antowain Smith wasn’t the only one to get carries on Sunday. Stecker rushed 16 times for 86 yards. It looks like Haslett will go with a committee, but Stecker is worth a pickup in case Smith falters.

Maurice Morris: The only reason he was in the game was Shaun Alexander had 4 touchdowns. But Mo Mo rushed for 100+ yards and a score. If Alexander went down, Morris would be a stud behind that offensive line.

Chester Taylor: For whatever reason, Jamal Lewis is not the same player this year. Taylor is stealing carries and this situation looks a lot like KC. He even out rushed Lewis with less carries. Grab Taylor for insurance and the chance that he takes over the starting job at some point.

Justin McCareins: The Jets have a lot of problems, but when teams are not very good they usually throw a lot. Martin is aging and Vinny likes to throw. McCareins makes a great bye week fill-in with upside.

Jabar Gaffney: Andre Johnson is hurt and clearly not the same player as we’ve seen in the past. Gaffney had 10 balls thrown to him last week and is the clear # 1Wr with Johnson out. He should be quite productive with the Texans awful defense forcing Carr to play catch-up.

Az-Zahir Hakim: He has over 200 yards receiving the last 2 weeks. Horn is injured and Stallworth is nursing a sore hammy. Either way, Brooks looks locked into Hakim right now.

Doug Gabriel: The Raiders like to throw the ball all day. Gabriel can be productive even as a # 3 Wr, but with Moss hurting he might score 2 or 3 touchdowns and rack up a lot of yardage while Moss is out.

Marcus Pollard: Pollard has been hurt, but he scored a td his first game, and Sunday was his first game healthy again. He caught 3 passes for 105 yards. He will finish a top-10 TE.
