Week 1 waiver wire stud (1 Viewer)

Some possibilities:

- Whichever of Chad Jackson or Jabar Gaffney after they go off against Brandon Flowers. Belicheck says welcome to the NFL, kid.

- Dominic Rhodes after he gets to mopup against the Bears and has flashbacks to his Super Bowl XLI performance

- Troy Smith after he actually looks solid against the Bengals, likely to be one of the worst defenses in the NFL (sorry Jene and John)

 
Croyle? Going up against the Pats DBs.

Brandon Jackson? I hear it could be RBBC in GB.

Chad Jackson? 2nd round pick, finally getting a chance, with Tom Brady, anyone can do good.

I am hoping it being the first of 5 games for the Colts and Roy not making an offensive appearence until the 3rd quarter doesn't mean anything, however, the rookie looked good and and he has return abilities. Maybe add Pierre Garcon to this list, if lastnight meant anything.
 
Mushin Muhammed and DJ Hackett with Smith being suspended for 2 weeks.
Good one MOP, DJ should be Delhome's go to guy in the redzone with SS out. Another one would be Darrel Jackson of Denver. I hate him because of his hands, but with Marshall gone for 2-3 games, Cutler should rely heavily on him and Schefler.

This is exactly what I thought of when I read this thread.But to play along, I guess you can say what guys do you kind of think may have a chance to do something that you just didn't draft.First, the number of rounds and teams in your draft play a significant part in this discussion. Let's say it's a 12 team league, 18 rounds. You still have a little talent left in the waiver wire..maybe some wide receiver rookies or some old vets.So, I guess my answer to start is a WR. Sometimes, an entire league can miss a wide receiver who didn't show much during the preseason.Depending upon your league but it could be someone like a S. McDonald from the Lions. He's not going very high, decent player who's supposed to NOT get much action in this current offense. HOwever, if he catches a touchdown pass week 1, he'll be picked up.Amani Toomer- Another Vet who could go undrafted. Who knows what's up with Buress, Toomer played well at the end of last year and looks decent this year. If he catches a TD week 1, he'll be picked up by someone.Fasano at TE- He may be drafted but maybe not in some leauges that don't require you to carry two TE and it's only 18 rounds. If he gets some looks early on, I could see Fasano being picked up.
