While my esteemed colleague Michael Fabiano will be serving up the in each week, I am here for those who need to dive a little deeper. Depending on your league, you may have no shot at the guys on Fabiano's list. Whether it's because of savvy drafters, too many members (where my 16-team players at?) or you have a low priority on the waiver wire (because you rule at fantasy), sometimes the top options simply aren't available. With that in mind, here are some deeper waiver-wire options if you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, or mi s out on the top options for the week.Quarterbacks, (3.1 percent owned): Smith appeared in this same spot in , but since he's still owned in so few leagues (fewer than , even) I feel I need to make my point again. Smith is going to be a solid fantasy quarterback this year, and he's already proven that. Were it not for his fourth-quarter touchdown pa s to being called back after a timeout called by and , Geno would have out-scored all but three quarterbacks in Week 2 -- including ! Geno is currently the 13-highest standard scoring quarterback, and would be in the top 10 had that touchdown counted. He adds valuable points in the running game and has a soft schedule on the horizon (vs. CHI, vs. DET, at SD)., (4.6 percent owned): Don't look now, but Carr has quietly put up back-to-back solid outings on a talent-deficient roster against two strong defenses. Carr is still prone to rookie mistakes, but has shown confidence on his two touchdown throws to . He also flashed impre sive speed on Sunday as he racked up 58 rushing yards. He doesn't exactly have the most forgiving upcoming schedule (at NE, vs. MIA) but in deeper leagues, two-QB leagues or dynasty leagues Carr is definitely worth a look on  Shaquille O'Neal Jersey waivers this week before his stock rises more.Running backs, (0.2 percent owned): As is typically the case in , the running back position on the waiver wire is a wasteland of touchdown-vulturing fullbacks and . Blue makes the list this week as he has become the top handcuff for even though Foster is running like it's 2010 again. He currently leads all NFL running backs with 59 touches (55 rushes, four receptions) and I'm not saying he's going to break down, but if he does, Blue is the back to own. The originally perceived handcuff, , received eight fewer carries than Blue in garbage time on Sunday. That's not exactly an infallible sign of what's to come, but it's better to go with youth and upside when stashing players like Blue in deeper leagues., (0.8 percent owned): Speaking of youth and upside, McKinnon is the paragon of those traits in Minnesota. With reactivated, but facing an uncertain future, McKinnon is the back to own in deeper (and dynasty) leagues. is fine, and performed well on Sunday in a spot start, but McKinnon Peterson in the offseason and showed potential at Georgia Southern with his fluidity in the open field and ability to quickly change direction. He's worth a stash in deeper leagues just in case., (1.5 percent owned): Anderson is very clearly behind on the depth chart, and Ball had a solid outing on Sunday, rushing just 12 times but averaging five yards per carry. Anderson is Bell's top backup, and were anything to happen to the second-year Wisconsin product, Anderson would become the belle of the waiver-wire ball. That's why he's worth a stash if you have the space in deeper leagues.Wide receivers, (0.8 percent owned): Quick makes his in this column along with Smith, as he followed up his solid Week 1 outing (seven catches, 99 yards) with another respectable performance in Week 2. Quick once again hauled in seven of the nine pa ses to sed his way, this time for slightly le s yardage -- 74. Even though his offense is a me s, Quick currently ranks 12th in the NFL in receiving yards, and is definitely worth a grab as a low-end WR3/Flex play in deep leagues. (0.9 percent owned): A vers
