With my team out of contention in my dynasty league, I'm starting to scour the waiver wire for potential dynasty RBs who might make an impact next season. Any ideas out there?

Super-vague question.Depending on league size, roster size and starting lineups there are can be a widely differing spectrum of whom might be on the waiver wire.
I'll throw out a deep homer pick I posted in another, similar thread.

I've been blessed with two(or three) NFC North games appearing on my television each weekend, and I haven't seen much in the way of dynasty prospects/value in the division outside of Brandon Jackson. Assuming the Packers can/want to un-load Grant and his contract, Jackson is a player I will attempt to acquire in February(before the un-loading/draft/other fantasy GM's can pounce). Chicago has nothing worth mentioning outside of Forte(Wolfe lacks the tree-trunk sized legs to be a horse, I guess he may have been worth a mention, but Angelo will probably draft/sign Forte's insurance policy in 2009), Minnesota will probably draft/sign Chester Taylor's replacement in the spring(unless Chester's contract is cap-friendly, I have no idea, but if they do use a 3rd/4th round pick on a RB, he will find his way to my roster, regardless of name/talent/etc). The Detroit Lions thought so highly of their RB-stable they gave Rudi Johnson a call, although this was done prior to Kevin Smith's emergence as a legit NFL talent.
The FBG's will be hard pressed to give you much help without a glance at the available FA's in your league...are players like Jammal Charles/Brandon Jackson/Darren Sproles/Garrett Wolfe rostered? If so, hitting on a long-term RB prospect is pretty much a crap-shoot at this point in the NFL season. I look for talent stuck behind older RB's(I call any RB who has out-lived his initial rookie contract "old")/talent that made you go wow when you saw them playing for State U/players grinding away in the cooler NFL climates/ and of course, talent that was fortunate enough to land in a good situation/system.
Players like Danny Ware? My league 'aint that deep(can only roster 5 RB's at any given time, but we can roster quite a few college backs through the developmental draft, which is pretty cool)...but the Giants know how to pick 'em! Which is pretty important in the grand scheme of dynasty things. Trusting the judgement of GM's with an eye for RB talent/track-record is wise, imo, just make sure the RB isn't rostered for his uncanny ability to make tackles on special teams, and that ability alone.

Yeah, that was vaguely worded on purpose...just trying to gather some ideas. Thanks for the help. I'll take a look at Ware.

I have dumped my excess veterans I'm not going to keep anyway and added an army of deep RB's
Jalen Parmele
Marcus Mason
Danny Ware
Thomas Clayton
Thomas Brown
Kregg Lumpkin
I'd be surprised if guys like Brandon Jackson and Darren Sproles are available, if they are jump on them - Sproles first.

I assume you're assuming Fred Taylor is gone and Greg Jones is a FB?
Taylor himself said he was gone. I'd imagine Jones might get a few carries, if healthy.

I think you'll see another RB brought in and whoever it is beats out Washington for the #2 role.Hopefully one of the guys I have stashed.

A few guys I like that may be rostered, or may not:
Fred Jackson looks good and is an exclusive rights free agent
Kevin Jones is a free agent this offseason
Darren Sproles is a RFA
Jerome Harrison has shown flashes and Lewis is due a lot of money

Mike Hart in Indianapolis might be on the waiver wire. He got hurt early so he might have been dropped or forgotten. He's not going to be the next coming of LT but with Addai seemingly always banged up and Rhodes getting a little older he might get some playing time in a good offense.
