Every year some waiver wire RBs make an impact for redraft owners late in the season and into the playoffs. Here's a few I have a very close eye on:
1) Cadillac Williams -- Tampa Bay has a decent front line, and with their FB woes Earnest Graham might be moved to that role and Dunn will see the RB load. However, Gruden loves Cadillac and if he is reactivated to the active roster week 8 or 9 I would seriously consider making roster room for him. We'll get a better idea of what his role will be depending on whether or not Bennett is demoted.
2) Kenny Watson -- Yes, the Bengals are a mess. Yes, they just signed Cedric Benson. But Watson is the only RB on their roster to be able to have any success on that team. He's resigned, and reports are that he looks healthy in practice. He's got good hands and should get a chance for carries sometime soon thanks to Perry's fumbleitis and Benson's unimpressiveness.
3) Jesse Chatman -- A team like the Jets wouldn't have held onto this guy despite his 4-game steroid suspension if they didn't think he could contribute. Thomas Jones had a good outing recently, but Chatman has looked solid whenever he's had the chance to tote the rock the past couple seasons. If he gets a shot to take over (if Jones has a few more poor showings or gets injured), I wouldn't doubt he can put up startable numbers. His situation is more difficult though as he has a clear starter in front of him. I think of him like I do Chester Taylor -- will put up numbers if he gets the start, look to have him rostered if Jones struggles.
