If you're like me and had Julian Edelman on your fantasy team, you were probably kicking and screaming when he hurt is foot. Edelman will be back, just not in time for your fantasy championship run. So, you will need some fill ins. Edelman has had a career year, and chances are no one will find someone with equal numbers on the waiver wire. But for the time being, here are three players I think will be appropriate substitutes that you can most likely find in you leagues waiver wire.
1. Keshawn Martin - Patriots: You may be reading this thinking it contradicts everything any fantasy football analyst have told you thus far. However, now that Edelman is gone, teams will be keying on Gronk and Amendola as Brady's top targets. That leaves Keshawn Martin, who has recently returned from a hamstring injury, at TB's fingertips. I advise adding Martin if you are looking for that chance to boost your playoff position. Martin has a big upside being one of Brady's top targets, but it is a risk that may or may not pay off.
2. Nate Washington - Texans: In the past few weeks I've grown very fond of Nate Washington. With teams paying more attention to DeAndre Hopkins, Washington has been given some quality targets. He's averaged 9 targets in his last 3 games, and his value is continuing to trend upwards. Snag him before it's too late!
3. Lance Moore- Lions: Talk about a roll of the dice. Moore is not a high volume offensive producer, and the only way he can really help is if he scores. However, in an ESPN PPR league, he has had point totals of 11, 11, 21, and 17 in his last four games. This struggling Lions offense is looking for any help it can get. In a deep Flex PPR league, Moore could up your chances of making the playoffs.
