NFL Week 5: Building a Full Waiver Wire Team From Scratch

Building on our Booms & Busts update for Week 5, we’re taking things a step further — creating a full team from scratch using only players currently available on waivers.  To qualify, a player has to be available in more than half of all ESPN leagues.

The Waiver Wire Wonders – Week 5 (% owned)

  • QB:  Jason Campbell (40%)
  • RB1:  Mewelde Moore (6%)
  • RB2:  Laurence Maroney (16%)
  • Flex:  Michael Bush (30%)
  • WR1:  Nate Washington (20%)
  • WR2:  Michael Jenkins (8%)
  • TE:  Todd Heap (40%)
  • DST:  Patriots(43%)

Is this helpful to anyone?  Probably not.  But it’s been raining for the last 48 hours here in Chicago, and I’m about to lose my mind.  We’ll check back next week and see how this team faired against my current team (which has undergone a few face lifts since).
