Week 2 Waiver Pick Ups Fantasy Football 2013

The first week of the NFL season was extremely exciting! Peyton Manning threw for 462 yards and 7 touchdowns, as the Broncos beat the Ravens. Reggie Bush had 191 total yards, in a victory over the Vikings (which also saw an eighty yard Adrian Peterson run). The Packers and 49ers faced off, the Patriots had a close game against the Bills, and a Lavonte David penalty cost the Buccaneers their game against the Jets. The NFL action from the weekend has given us our first week of actual statistics,  we are no longer dealing with just projections. Offense and defenses have given us a taste of their potential and tendencies. The following are some suggestions as to who should be picked up on waivers. I believe these players can help your fantasy team.

Waiver Pick Ups

RB:Joique Bell  (If you own Reggie Bush)
After my fantasy leagues draft I dropped Johnathan Dwyer (who was cut by the Steelers). I immediately picked up Joique Bell. The Lions utilized him well last year. Last year saw Bell gain 899 total yards and 3 touchdowns. Week 1 saw the Lions utilize both Reggie Bush and Joique Bell effectively. They both produced over 20 fantasy points in week 1. If you are in a league with a flex and already own Bush, putting Bell in your flex spot is a great idea. In my twelve man league my options are Lance Moore, Michael Floyd, or Joique Bell in my flex spot. I'm going to use Bell until he gives me a reason not to. If the Lions offense continues to flourish, they should both see touches in both the running and passing game. I'm hoping Reggie Bush can stay healthy, but his injuries in the past give Bell and even larger upside. If you pick up Bell, and Bush goes down, you still have Bell.

TE:Julius Thomas (If you are lacking a decent Tight End)
He is Peyton Manning's tight end! If you do not have confidence in your tight end pick him up. I am not saying he will get 110 yards, and 2 touchdowns every week, however he has a ton of potential for big weeks.  His week one numbers occurred during Manning's spectacular 7 touchdown game. Tight end's with good quarterbacks generally succeed, especially tight ends with the athleticism of Thomas, he is worth a pick up.

WR: Julian Edelman (If you need a Wide Receiver)
Edelman had a solid week one. He produced 19.90 fantasy points. Tom Brady has chemistry with Edelman, and Edelman was actually starting over Wes Welker last year, until he was injured. He is in a high power offense, with an amazing quarterback.
