Earlier in the week, I recommended Derek Carr as a starting option this week in the waiver wire pickups. I’ve got him at #7 with a favorable matchup at Chicago. At worst, he’s a top 12 option given the other matchups and who is available with Tom Brady and Marcus Mariota on bye, Drew Brees potentially limited, and Ben Roethlisberger, Tony Romo, and Jay Cutler out.
At running back, we have Arian Foster potentially returning this week. He is practicing on a limited basis and will be a game-time decision. If you are a Marshawn Lynch owner, that will probably be a game-time decision as well, and with the Lions-Seahawks game coming on Monday night, you will likely have to make a decision before then, unless you have another back or flex option in that game.
As always, I’ve marked those who are questionable with ++ and probable with a +. This will be updated as injury news becomes solidified. These rankings reflect the projection if the player participates.
