With the waiver process going into effect tonight for most leagues' pickups, let's see who we recommend to make the adds and drops list.
WEEK 6 ADDS
Keenan Allen: The rookie out of Cal has quickly developed a bond with QB Philip Rivers as he comes off a huge Sunday night game against the Oakland Raiders. The Chargers throw the football on almost every play now since they can't run it so Allen should continue to get a ton of looks.
Brandon Jacobs: David Wilson is looking iffy for this Thursday's game against the awful Chicago Bears defense which means Brandon Jacobs will get the majority of work. Jacobs actually ran pretty well in Week 5 minus the lost fumble. Opportunity is everything.
Nick Foles: Michael Vick could be out the next two weeks with a pulled hamstring which means Chip Kelly's offense is now in the hands of the capable Nick Foles. Foles threw two touchdowns in the second half of the team's comeback win over the New York Giants Sunday which passed the smell test for the second year passer.
Pierre Thomas: Thomas shook off the mothballs to catch 9 passes out of the backfield last week which included two touchdowns. While Darren Sproles is still the number 1 receiving back on this team, Thomas' combined contributions in the running and receiving game in one of the most explosive offenses in the league make him a must grab.
Austin Collie: It might take a couple of weeks but former slot dynamo Collie could be a PPR option due entering the Tom Brady offense. With Kenbrell Thompkins still struggling with consistency and Danny Amendola no lock to make it through any game, Collis is an interesting add.
Reuben Randle: The Giants are going to take a long look at Randle after he caught two touchdown passes on Sunday. Long on potential, Randle is the perfect replacement for the free agent-to-be Hakeem Nicks. Randle is brimming with potential waiting to burst.
WEEK 6 DROPS
Lamar Miller: Enough with this already. Miller has been an absolute joke as he has not gotten anything going on the ground in any game this season. The Dolphins coaching staff deserves some of the blame due to their infatuation with Daniel Thomas but we have now waited five weeks for a breakout that has not arrived. It is time to stop waiting.
Ryan Matthews: This guy is such as joke it is not even funny. A concussion is the latest in a long list of maladies in addition to the fact he is not a good runner. Close the book on this for good.
Brian Hoyer: This is too bad as Hoyer was doing some nice things before tearing his ACL.
E.J. Manuel: The kid showed signs of being a decent starter someday but not he is on ice for 6-8 weeks with a knee injury. Has not done nearly enough to warrant holding onto.
Matt Schaub: Schaub has that deer-in-the-headlights look after throwing three more INT's in Sunday night's beatdown at the hands of the San Francsico 49ers. It is easy to see that Schaub has lost his confidence which is not what you want out of your fantasy football QB.
