Here is our first look at the Week 5 waiver wire report.
We’ve been pimping these guys for a long time now.
Diondre Borel (Utah State)
Ricky “Super Spot Start” Dobbs (Navy)
Dwight Dasher (Middle Tennessee)
Levi Brown (Troy)
B.J. Daniels (USF)
Daniels rushed for 126 yards in his first start, a win over Florida State. He should be a great option in BCS-only and deep All-120 leagues.
Joey Elliot (Purdue) & Mike Kafka (Northwestern)
These two make our list again. They square off against each other next week.
Chris Todd (Auburn)
9 TD passes in his last two games. However, the tough SEC slate begins now. Can he produce at an acceptable level?
Tyler Bass (Memphis) - Bass came back to earth in his second start. Keep an eye on him moving forward.
Zac Dysert (Miami-OH) - Had a big game on Saturday in his first start. 117 yards rushing. 337 yards passing. He could be a big-time player once MAC play is in full swing.
Andy Dalton (TCU) - Dalton is a steady performer. Should have a good performance against SMU on Saturday.
Trey Revell (UL-Monroe) - This sleeper is finally hitting his stride now that Sun Belt play has begun.
Andre Dixon (Connecticut)
Robert Turbin (Utah State)
LaMichael James (Oregon)
Carlos Brown (Michigan)
Toney Baker (NC State)
Adam Robinson (Iowa)
Alexander Robinson (Iowa State)
Eddie Wide (Utah)
With Matt Asiata done for the season, Wide becomes the leading candidate to take over the rushing duties. He posted 19-129-0 in Asiata’s absence last week. Keep in mind that redshirt freshman Sausan Shakerin is still out with injury. When he returns, it could muddle the picture a bit.
Luke Lippincott (Nevada)
Lipp will take over the starting role while Vai Taua is out. He posted a 100 yard game against Mizzou last week after Taua went down to injury.
DaJuane Collins (Toledo)
Out-rushed teammate Morgan Williams 19-152-2 to 11-63-0 on Saturday. Ride Collins while he has the hot hand. It’s all MAC games the rest of the way.
Duane Bennett (Minnesota)
Darius Willis (Indiana)
Lamon Muldrow (San Jose State)
Delone Carter (Syracuse)
Keith Smith (Purdue)
Posted 11-136-1 against Notre Dame on Saturday, giving him 28 catches already on the young season.
Dan Buckner (Texas)
23 catches and 4 touchdowns on the season. He’s a nice addition in BCS-only leagues.
Duke Calhoun (Memphis)
Calhoun has established a rapport with new QB Tyler Bass. In two games, he’s grabbed 14 balls for 315 yards and 2 TDs.
Brandon Wimberly (Nevada)
Wimberly looks to be the main main in the Nevada passing game. In his last two games, he has 13 catches for 180 yards and 2 TDs.
Erik Highsmith (UNC)
Andrew Brewer (Northwestern)
Brandon Caleb (Oklahoma)
Ryan Tannehill (Texas A&M)
Ed Dickson (Oregon)
The Duck tight end woke up in a big way this weekend, catching 11 balls for 143 yards and 3 TDs. He’ll probably be spotty the rest of the way, but the potential is obviously there for a few more explosions. Wazzu is next up for Dickson.
Ladarius Green (UL-Louisiana)
Green was a preseason sleeper who snoozed his way through the first two games. In his last two games, against LSU and Nebraska, he’s posted 6-64-0 and 5-68-0. We think he’s back. And guess what? After a bye this week, the rest of his games are against the Sun Belt. Get him now, thank us later.
Marcus Green (Mississippi State)
Jonathan Massey (Southern Miss)
Here are some good defensive options for this week:
Oregon vs. Washington State
South Carolina vs. South Carolina State
Cincinnati vs. Miami (OH)
Baylor vs. Kent State
Texas Tech vs. New Mexico
