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.

Matt Moore, Carolina Panthers (98 percent)

Moore wasn't asked to do much - and why should he have been with Carolina's rushing attack - but he completed 14 of his 20 attempts last week for 161 yards and one interception. It was his first start of the year, but he has been in this offense since entering the league in 2007.

The Pats' secondary has been distinctly un-Patriots-like over the last five games. Opposing signal callers are averaging 277.6 passing yards and 2.40 passing touchdowns against them in that time. Included in that stretch is a 335-yard, two-touchdown effort last week from the Miami Dolphins' Chad Henne, not exactly an elite passer.

It isn't a great matchup, and you have to have "cojones" to play Moore in a playoff matchup, but if you possess said cojones, Moore could throw for a couple of scores this week, at least. He has the running game to take the pressure off him, and this Pats defense is in turmoil.
