Week 4 NFL Waiver Wire

Bye Weeks are upon us. It is important to have plenty of depth in the weeks ahead, so keep track of these players if they are still available on your waiver wire:

1) Brady Quinn, QB: The Browns are 0-3 and the natives are getting restless in Cleveland. Quinn, the former first-rounder, is ready to pull his next Philip Rivers imitation. If Derek Anderson falters this week, Quinn will see some action. He may have the starting job by week 5, so grab Quinn now while you can.

2) Correll Buckhalter, RB: Brian Westbrook is on crutches and the Eagles rely on their running backs more than other teams. Buckhalter will get the start in week 4 and may be the starter going forward if Westbrook cannot return. Also, keep an eye out for RB Lorezo Booker. He was obtained this offseason and scouts call him a Brian Westbrook clone.

3) Rudi Johnson, RB: Rudi came on strong last week in relief of Kevin Smith. Smith has not impressed and Johnson has the experience. With first round pick Gosder Cherlius now assuming the starting role on the offensive line, expect Rudi to put up some decent numbers.

4) Antonio Bryant, WR: Bryant always had talent, but he had too much attitude with the Cowboys. Now with the Bucs, Bryant emerged last week as the #1 option for QB Brian Griese. With aging Ike Hillard and Joey Galloway in front of him, Bryant may be the pure #1 WR on this team going forward.

5) Brandon Lloyd, WR: When he was in San Francisco, scouts were comparing Lloyd to a young Terrell Owens. Although Lloyd didn't fit in well with the Redskins, he has found new life under offensive coordinator Ron Turner. Turner, who coached Lloyd in college ball, knows how to make Lloyd tick. Without any other first options for QB Kyle Orton, Lloyd may be the guy.

6) Bobby Engram & Deion Branch, WR: The top two receivers on the Seahawks are expected to return by week 6. The Seahwaks have a high powered offense, so these guys will produce if healthy. Now is the time to grab them on the cheap before anyone else realizes.

7) Lance Moore, WR: The Saints have lost Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey. Someone has to catch all of Brees passes. Reggie Bush is not enough. Last week, he had 7 catches for 78 yards. Expect Moore to step up and claim more catches.
