<p>Some words from Lovie Smith that will never be forgotten: &#8220;We&#8217;re 10-2 with Rex [Grossman] as our quarterback.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, the Denver Broncos are 5-0 with Kyle as their quarterback. And he appears to be a great fit in an exciting Denver offense.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the players you should consider adding to your team from the Week 6 Waiver Wire.</p>
<p><strong>QB Kyle Orton, Denver Broncos</strong></p>
<p>Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, well, you must be Kyle Orton. Orton is a legitimate fantasy quarterback.</p>
<p>Orton has posted a QB rating of UNDER 92.1 just once this season. He chucked the ball 48 times and passed for 330 passing yards with a 72% completion percentage.</p>
<p>Yes, he is a must-own in all leagues where he is still available. Orton could finish the season as a top-10, and dare I say it, top-5 option at the position.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-125" title="Chad Henne" src="http://www.rotomind.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/UN6163-150x131.png" alt="Chad Henne" width="90" height="79" />QB Chad Henne, Miami Dolphins</strong></p>
<p>Come on Rex, Dan Marino?</p>
<p>But a closer look at Henne should raise some excitement in any fantasy owner. Let&#8217;s see, a 76.9% completion rate against the Jets, 2 touchdown passes, on Monday night. It is clear that Henne has tremendous upside.</p>
<p>Could Chad Henne be the next Tom Brady? The Michigan product stepped in for an injured veteran. Just saying&#8230;the guy is worth a pickup if you need a backup quarterback. If you have room on your roster, don&#8217;t hesitate to stash Henne as a third starter. You could have a gem on your hands.</p>
<p><strong>RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders</strong></p>
<p>Well, the Raiders are bad. But Michael Bush is a serviceable runner who gave a valiant effort against the Giants.</p>
<p>He got 12 carries and averaged 3.1 yards per carry, adding a score. While he did split carries with Justin Fargas (OAK, RB), Bush is clearly the better runner. His overall ability gives the Raiders a chance to run out the clock when they are down by 30.</p>
<p>Oakland has a tough matchup against the Eagles this weekend, but he should be once again serviceable for owners with massive bye week/injury issues.</p>
<p><strong>RB Kevin Faulk, New England Patriots</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re in a PPR league, this guy could be a sneaky pickup this week. Fred Taylor (NE, RB) is injured and could be out for a while, leaving Sammy Morris (NE, RB) in the spotlight.</p>
<p>New England should play around with Tennessee this weekend, so Faulk should get garbage time carries and some catches. A worthwhile one-week pickup, at the least.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-126" title="Miles Austin" src="http://www.rotomind.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/UN4510-150x131.png" alt="Miles Austin" width="90" height="79" />WR Miles Austin, Dallas Cowboys</strong></p>
<p>250 receiving yards? While production like that cannot be expected on a week-to-week basis out of Austin, he is a talented wide receiver who will continue to receive a ton of looks from Tony Romo (DAL, QB).</p>
<p>Dallas is on bye this week, but roster him now and save yourself the headache when the next waiver wire period rolls around next week.</p>
<p><strong>WR Jeremy Maclin, Philadelphia Eagles</strong></p>
<p>With 6 catches, 142 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Buccaneers, fantasy owners are flocking to their waiver wire to try to get ahold of him.</p>
<p>He is a volatile pickup whose production can differ significantly from week to week. In Philadelphia, no one has any idea where the ball will be thrown.</p>
<p>But expect Maclin to continue seeing a moderate number of targets, and with his speediness and game-breaking ability, a few long scores from here on out are to be expected.</p>
<p><strong>WR Austin Collie, Indianapolis Colts</strong></p>
<p>Collie had 8 catches on 9 targets against Tennessee last Sunday&#8230;not so fast Pierre Garcon (IND, WR) owners.</p>
<p>Garcon and Collie are volatile fantasy choices from week-to-week, but both are extremely talented players and will see nice playing time while Anthony Gonzalez (IND, WR) is out. If either is available on your waiver wire, make the claim.</p>

		</div>
<p>Here is a rundown of the players you should target for Week 5. Scour your league&#8217;s waiver wire to see if any of these players are available.</p>
<p><strong>Quarterbacks</strong></p>
<p><strong>David Garrard, Jacksonville Jaguars: </strong>Garrard is  a solid QB with rapidly developing reliable targets (Mike Sims-Walker, to be specific). He has also demonstrated solid skills in the past (102.2 QB rating, 18-3 TD/INT ratio in 2007).</p>
<p>Garrard can be used immediately as a backup QB, spot starter or bye week fill in.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-92" title="Kyle Orton" src="http://www.rotomind.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/UB420-150x131.png" alt="Kyle Orton" width="90" height="79" />Kyle Orton, Denver Broncos: </strong>Orton posted 20-29 passing for 243 passing yards and 2 scores on Sunday. In his last three games, Orton has passer ratings of 83.5, 92.1, and 117.5.</p>
<p>Expect his confidence to continue to grow rapidly as he gets more comfortable in the offense. Orton is a great backup QB to have on your bench.</p>
<p><strong>Shaun Hill, San Francisco 49ers: </strong>Hill was 14-24 for 152 passing yards and 2 scores this past weekend. Like Orton, Hill has had a rising passer rating for three consecutive weeks (86.1, 94.6, 104.9).</p>
<p>While he won&#8217;t overwhelm any fantasy owner with big passing yards, he does pass to the endzone and is worth a pickup as  a backup QB choice. He doesn&#8217;t have the upside of Garrard or Orton, but is a solid option nonetheless.</p>
<p><strong>Derek Anderson, Cleveland Browns: </strong>While not recommended at this point in time for shallow or even regular sized leagues, Anderson cannot be written off after his successful 2007 season.</p>
<p>With the Browns consistently falling behind in games, Anderson can be expected to pass often. Braylon Edwards (CLE, WR) and Mohamed Massaquoi (CLE, WR) are not bad targets to throw to. If he continues to start, look for improvement: a big game could be in his near future.</p>
<p><strong>Running Backs</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rashard Mendenhall, Pittsburgh Steelers:</strong>Willie Parker is expected to return in Week 5, but Mendenhall was Week 5&#8217;s top rusher and should continue to see plenty of carries in the offense. Mendenhall is worth a pickup in all formats and could be used immediately as a flex option or RB2.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-93" title="Tashard Choice" src="http://www.rotomind.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/UN6489-150x131.png" alt="Tashard Choice" width="90" height="79" />Tashard Choice, Dallas Cowboys: </strong>With Felix Jones and Marion Barber still hurting, Choice should be (at minimum) moderately involved on Sunday. Choice should be rostered in all leagues and like Mendenhall, can be considered for a flex position/borderline RB2.</p>
<p><strong>Justin Fargas and Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders: </strong>Darren McFadden is going to miss 2-4 weeks with a torn meniscus, so see if these guys are available in your league.</p>
<p>While the OAK running game is nothing to get excited about, both players should see enough carries to become fantasy relevant over the time McFadden is out.</p>
<p>Fargas may get first crack at the starting job (10 carries in Week 4), but neither is a sure option. Add either player to your bench.</p>
<p><strong>Wide Receivers/Tight Ends</strong></p>
<p>Check out yesterday&#8217;s post for some solid WR/TE sleepers from the Green Bay-Minnesota game.</p>
<p><strong>Nate Washington and Kenny Britt, Tennessee Titans: </strong>While Kerry Collins (TEN, QB) has to worry about his job security, this is what we do know: the Titans aren&#8217;t great, and they will likewise play from behind often. Washington and Britt led the team in targets this past Sunday, and I expect both of them to get plenty of work on the balance of season.</p>
<p>Washington and Britt are both WR3-caliber at the moment, but they could improve significantly into WR2s before long. Roster them now if they are out there.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-94" title="Heath Miller" src="http://www.rotomind.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/U753-150x131.png" alt="Heath Miller" width="90" height="79" />Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers: </strong>While Miller&#8217;s statistics have been everywhere this season, he is nonetheless a talented TE and a solid option in the Pittsburgh passing game. Pick him up as a TE2 who could turn into a weekly starter before long.</p>

Try to get ahold of these big-name players in your fantasy football league this week!
Seneca Wallace (SEA, QB)
Poor Wallace: always getting knocked for his lack of size. His matchup against Chicago wasn&#8217;t nothing to write home about, but he should continue to improve with more time under center.

<p>Try to get ahold of these big-name players in your fantasy football league this week!</p>
<p><strong>Seneca Wallace (SEA, QB)</strong></p>
<p>Poor Wallace: always getting knocked for his lack of size. His matchup against Chicago wasn&#8217;t nothing to write home about, but he should continue to improve with more time under center.</p>
<p>Matt Hasselbeck (SEA, QB) will probably miss this weekend&#8217;s game against Indianapolis. While Wallace may not be the best start against the Colts, stash him away in the event he continues to find a good groove with Nate Burleson (SEA, WR) and the rest of the receiving core.</p>
<p><strong>Tashard Choice (DAL, RB)</strong></p>
<p>Boy, Dallas sure got a nice deal with Choice. With Felix Jones (DAL, RB) now banged up and Marion Barber (DAL, RB) returning from injury, it&#8217;s a good time to pick up a key handcuff in this backfield.</p>
<p>The Denver defense has improved from last season, but if Choice gets a full load of carries, he could turn any fantasy owner a nice profit out of a RB2 or flex position.</p>
<p><strong>Glen Coffee (SF, RB)</strong></p>
<p>Coffee steps into a nice full-time role with Frank Gore (SF, RB) out, and Coffee has proven that he can be an effective runner. Pick him up immediately and don&#8217;t hesitate using him this weekend against the weak St. Louis Rams defense.</p>
<p><strong>Maurice Morris (DET, RB)</strong></p>
<p>Kevin Smith (DET, RB) got pretty banged up last Sunday, and will probably not play on Sunday against Chicago. And while he may not light the world on fire, Morris should get enough carries against Chicago to be considered for a flex position.</p>
<p><strong>Bryant Johnson (DET, WR)</strong></p>
<p>The Detroit receiver you probably wanted on draft day was Calvin Johnson, but Bryant Johnson is proving that he can be a viable No. 2 wideout on a team that will probably chuck it early and often.</p>
<p>Matthew Stafford (DET, QB) is looking Johnson&#8217;s way fairly often (2nd on team in targets to Calvin Johnson), and he is a nice option for any league. Pick him up if he is available.</p>
<p><strong>Vernon Davis (SF, TE)</strong></p>
<p>Davis has established himself as the go-to guy on the San Francisco offense, and it is clear that Shaun Hill (SF, QB) likes throwing to him.</p>
<p>Davis leads the team with 23 targets to date, and he should continue to see a great amount of looks.</p>

<p>Wide receivers are some of the easiest players to find on the waiver wire, but finding the right ones and starting them at the right time is a different story. Here are four wide receivers that you should consider picking up as soon as your waiver wire or free agent period opens up.</p>
<p><strong>Johnny Knox, Chicago Bears</strong></p>
<p>The rookie out of Abilene Christian has developed into a key option for the Chicago Bears. And with Jay Cutler (CHI, QB) throwing to Knox, one certainly cannot complain. Chicago has had issues with the wide receiver position in past years, but Knox looks like he can deliver solid value for those who pluck him off the waiver wire.</p>
<p>Look for solid WR3 production out of Knox on the rest of the season. He&#8217;s an immediate impact rookie who could make the Bears look like geniuses in the next few seasons.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that while he hasn&#8217;t &#8220;officially&#8221; passed Earl Bennett (CHI, WR) on the depth chart, he will play a key role in the Bears passing game from here on out.</p>
<p><strong>Mario Manningham, New York Giants</strong></p>
<p>The former Michigan wide receiver has established himself as a top wide receiving option in the Giants offense. After posting a moderate stat line in Week 1, Manningham stepped up big time to catch 10 balls for 150 receiving yards. Not to mention, he has caught two touchdowns on the year.</p>
<p>Manningham is for real and could end up becoming a top-tier fantasy starter someday. For now, he is a solid add off the wire for you if he is still available, and a nice option from here on out.</p>
<p><strong>Mike Sims-Walker, Jacksonville Jaguars</strong></p>
<p>Jacksonville has not had a standout wide receiver since Jimmy Smith. However, that could change with Mike Sims-Walker (JAC, WR). Troy Williamson (JAC, WR) was hurt in Sunday&#8217;s game, and Sims-Walker stepped in admirably. He posted six catches for over 100 yards and a score.</p>
<p>David Garrard is not a bad QB to have chucking it to you, so Sims-Walker could have some WR3 fantasy value in most formats. Keep an eye on the health of Williamson, but don&#8217;t hesitate to take a chance on Sims-Walker, as he could deliver solid value on the balance of season.</p>
<p><strong>Steve Smith, New York Giants</strong></p>
<p>If you miss out on Manningham, you shouldn&#8217;t fret if Steve Smith (NYG, WR) is still on your wire. He is as good of a pickup as Manningham is. Let&#8217;s face it: Eli Manning has to throw to somebody. Smith and Manningham have posted great catch totals through the first two games of the week.</p>
<p>Smith is worth a pickup and could be used in a WR3 or flex spot immediately.</p>
