Week 11 – Emergency Starters
If you are in a pinch and need to find a starter off your league’s waiver wire this week, check out these players that can start in an emergency:
QB David Garrard, Jacksonville Jaguars - Garrard should be back on the field this week for Jacksonville after missing a series of games with a high ankle sprain. Although Garrard isn’t in an extremely pass friendly offense, some fantasy players forget how well he was playing before he got hurt. Garrard doesn’t have an interception on the season and has a quarterback rating over 100. If he’s playing this week, he’s a safe start because of the fact that he doesn’t throw interceptions and can get you yards on the ground running.
RB Najeh Davenport, Pittsburgh Steelers - Against the Jets, the Steelers should have plenty of chances to score touchdowns. And while Willie Parker has had a very good season to date, he only has a couple of touchdowns. Davenport, on the other hand, has three touchdowns and has run for over five yards per carry. With this favorable matchup, Davenport is a player you can pick up and start in an emergency.
WR Drew Bennett, St. Louis Rams - The Rams offense is looking better than it has all season. With that being the case, Bennett is a big red zone threat. St. Louis acquired him specifically to help them score touchdowns and Bennett is good at using his size to get open in the end zone. Against the 49ers this week, Bennett could very well find himself with a touchdown as San Francisco is in a horrendous slump.
TE Owen Daniels, Houston Texans - The Texans are finally getting some of their players healthy. Both Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson should play this week, which could open up the field for Daniels. Daniels, a second year tight end, has had a good season but has yet to find the end zone. This is the week that he could get his first touchdown of the year, especially considering he is facing the poor Saints defense.
