Starting Baker is no Fantasy Jimmy lost for season
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.
