Shockey mentors Boss...
Every week, SportsGrumblings.com editors and staff coordinate to offer an intriguing list of fantasy football players likely to be available on the waiver wire.
Availability, of course, depends on the league. While we stray from the standard to serve shallow and deep formats alike, the SG staff uses 12 team, 15 player leagues as the median.
Quarterback
1. David Garrard - Jacksonville - He is still available in shallow formats.
2. Todd Collins - Washington - The fantasy playoff wildcard for owners in deep leagues. The Redskins final two games, the Vikings and Cowboys, are favorable matchups. No quarterback on the Redskins roster knows the Al Saunders offense better.
3. Vince Young - Faces a porous Jet defense in Week 16.
Running Back
1. Kenton Keith - Indianapolis - Figures to see extended snaps now that the Colts have wrapped up the No. 2 seed in the AFC.
2. Reuben Droughns - New York Giants - Is available in shallow formats and will be the primary backup to Brandon Jacobs
3. LaMont Jordan/ Dominic Rhodes - Oakland - With Justin Fargas likely done for the season follow practice reports this week and track which of the two Raider running backs get the first-team snaps.
4. Leon Washington - New York Jets - A must handcuff to Thomas Jones and a player that figures to see more snaps in the teams final two games.
5. Darius Walker – Houston – The No. 3 Texans running back will continue to share snaps with starter Ron Dayne.
6. Lorenzo Booker - Miami - Expect to see the young running back receive more work over the final three games of the season.
7. T.J. Duckett - Detroit - The Lions are officially out of the playoff picture. Expect Duckett to get a veterans showcase in the final two weeks.
8. Aaron Stecker - New Orleans - Stecker registered huge Week 15 numbers and has at least one more start moving forward.
Wide Receiver
1. Muhsin Muhammad - Chicago - Continues to receive more targets with each passing week.
2. Joe Jurevicius -Cleveland - Continues to be overlooked in most formats.
3. Anthony Gonzalez - Indianapolis - The rookie is in line for two huge games as the Colts will likely back off Reggie Wayne in the final two weeks of the regular season.
4. Calvin Johnson - Detroit - Will start the final two games of the season.
5. Justin Gage - Tennessee - Over the last month, Gage has become one of Vince Young's favorite targets.
6. Jabar Gaffney - New England - While it is difficult to know which New England receiver will garner the looks on any given Sunday, Gaffney has now scored in three of the last four games.
Tight End
1. Justin Peelle - Miami - Had a Week 15 touchdown called back.
2. Bo Scaife - Tennessee - The Titans schedule is favorable moving forward.
3. Kevin Boss - New York Giants - Replaces the injured Jeremy Shockey
