Starting Baker is no Fantasy Jimmy lost for season

- BY SCOTT ENGEL ROTOEXPERT­S.COM

Here are three notable waiver pickups to nab this week. Chris Ivory, RB, Buffalo: The Bills shocked the world with their upset win at Minnesota Sunday, and Ivory made a significan­t contributi­on with 126 yards from scrimmage. LeSean McCoy could miss more time because of cracked rib cartilage, and Ivory remains a violent, physical runner who is very tough to tackle once he reaches the second level of defenders. Albert Wilson, WR, Miami: The surprising and undefeated Dolphins have found a playmaker in Wilson, who was an afterthoug­ht in Kansas City. Kenny Stills is inconsiste­nt and DeVante Parker looks like he will never amount to much of anything. Wilson has scored in consecutiv­e weeks, including a 74-yard reception vs. Oakland Sunday, and he even threw a TD pass vs. the Raiders. Wilson is not getting targeted heavily yet, so there is some boom-or-bust risk attached to him, but you should at least add him for depth now. Baker Mayfield, QB, Cleveland: If you lost Jimmy Garoppolo or Deshaun Watson is disappoint­ing you, you must take a flier on the rookie who actually led the Browns to a victory last week. Mayfield has crisp mechanics, a quick release and puts good zip on his passes.
