Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: QB | RB | WR | TE | PK | DT

If you are serious about winning your fantasy league football championship, stay on top of your fantasy football team throughout the year.

Each week during the NFL fantasy football season, KFFL brings you its Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, which breaks down players to pick up. Be aggressive when picking up fantasy football free agents. Even if you do not need a player, you can tuck him away for depth or block others from adding him to their fantasy football team.

Fantasy football free agents: One-week plays

The following fantasy football pickups are for those who need injury or bye week replacements. They are not players you immediately acquire - unless your team is in dire straights. Some have, however, shown some life and should be followed in case they materialize as options beyond their temporary use.

Buffalo Bills (45 percent)

Buffalo has been solid over the last six weeks with averages of 2.50 sacks, 1.67 interceptions and 0.17 fumble recoveries. They're also allowing only 17.2 offensive points per game in that time. They're ranked in the top 10 in fantasy points per game.

The real reason you want them in your lineup: Indianapolis Colts quarterback Curtis Painter. Well, he and the rest of Indy's reserves. Last week, Painter was sacked twice and picked off once. He also fumbled once, and it resulted in a touchdown. All in less than a half of work. Buffalo should be able to put up a decent numbers with Peyton Manning's backup in.
