Garbage Grab: Divisional Round
Garbage Grab: Divisional Round
Dorian “The Trashman” Colbert, Rosterwatch.com
There are only a few games this week, and they’re chock full of studs so the underdogs are few and far between. Still, there are a few diamonds in the rough you might be overlooking. We found them for you.
Russell Wilson QB, Seahawks: Wilson is on the list again this week. He’s still the most underrated quarterback in the playoffs, and he’s still offering the most value for how much you can get him for.
Robert Turbin RB, Seahawks: Marshawn Lynch is battling a foot sprain, and while that won’t keep Beast Mode off of the field, it will mean that Turbin will see more carries than usual. The rookie only had 22 yards last week, but he did get 8 carries. Atlanta was next to last in rushing yards after contact this season, so Turbin should have a shot at breaking one or two big runs off.
John Kuhn RB, Packers: No he’s not going to get you more than ten yards, but more so than any other Packer running back, Kuhn has the best chance of seeing the end-zone.
Doug Baldwin WR, Seahawks: A decent 40 yard on 5 target effort last week lands Baldwin on the list again as a super cheap player with plenty of upside. Only Zach Miller saw more looks for the Seahawks in Washington.
Randy Moss WR, 49ers: Moss knows when and how to step up in big games, and this week’s matchup with Green Bay is what he’s been waiting for. Now that Mario Manningham is done for the season, Moss will see even more looks, and he only needs one.
Zach Miller TE, Seahawks: Perhaps it was a match up advantage that Seattle saw against the ‘Skins, but Miller was the go to guy in their wild card contest. It could very well be McCoy who gets the bulk of the action this week, but Carroll likes to ride the hot hand so we’ll give Miller the edge.
