Quarterback By Waiver Wire (QBBWW): Week 2

Our signal calling waiver wire heroes won’t post epic seven-touchdown games like Peyton Manning on opening night. They will, on occasion, outscore fantasy football’s quarterback elite.

Here’s a little chart that’ll make QBBWW adherents crack a smile, no matter how their Week 1 fantasy squads fared beyond quarterback.

Player

Week 1 fantasy points

Rank

Matt Schaub

23.8

QB7

Terrelle Pryor

19.9

QB12

Alex Smith

17.4

QB16

Tony Romo

16.4

QB19

Russell Wilson

15.5

QB21

Tom Brady

15.1

QB23

Cam Newton

12.8

QB25

It’s almost as if the QBBWW system is a viable one in 12-team leagues with normal or short benches. Imagine that.

Schaub, one of our recommended Week 1 QBBWW choices, is un-owned in almost 40 percent of NFL.com leagues, for the record.

The elite signal callers, over the long haul, will probably outscore Week 1 quarterback streamers like Smith, Pryor, and Schaub, but that’s why we never commit to one guy in our QBBWW approach.

We’re married to matchups here – nothing more or less.

Let’s take a look at Week 2’s best QBBWW plays:
