NFL waiver wire

Kurt Warner, QB (ARI): Warner has 10 touchdowns in nine games this season including five over his past three starts. He's already a quality fantasy contributor but with matchups against Cincinnati, San Francisco and Cleveland over the next three weeks, Warner becomes a solid starter.

Jesse Chatman, RB (MIA): There aren't many valuable fantasy parts on the Miami Dolphins' offense but Chatman is one. He has 276 yards on his past 50 carries, which boils down to a solid 5.52 yards per carry average. With no competition in the backfield, he'll receive a steady dose of carries the rest of the season.

Chester Taylor, RB (MIN):
Needless to say, without Adrian Peterson around, Taylor becomes a valuable commodity. Don't forget, the former Raven was a good fantasy back last season until he wore down from being overworked. He has been underworked to this point in the season and should be very fresh. The way the Minnesota Vikings' offensive line has been playing, he'll be able to find ample running room.

Drew Bennett, WR (STL):
After the St. Louis Rams went 0-for-8 in the first half of the season, their offense looked healthy and crisp coming off of a bye week. Bennett was a beneficiary, finding the end zone for the second time this season. With Isaac Bruce expected to miss some time with a strained quad, Bennett will benefit from some starts.

L.J. Smith, TE (PHI): If you drafted Smith, you have probably been waiting all year for him to show up like he did in Week 10. Smith finished with four catches, 49 yards and a touchdown against the Redskins on Sunday and seems to be getting over a hernia injury that was bothering him earlier in the season. Smith has been a quality fantasy tight end in the past, which means he's worth owning when healthy.

Cleveland Browns Defense: The Browns' defense would probably struggle against a high school football team but this week they get an offense that has been playing at that level. The Ravens' offense has been atrocious and is coming off a week where it nearly got shut out at home by the pitiful Cincinnati Bengals. They play the Cleveland Browns, statistically a better defense than the Bengals. On a matchup play alone, the Browns' defense has value this week.

*** Note: Yes, I am human. I originally said the Ravens are in Cleveland this week. They are not. They host Cleveland at M&T Bank Stadium Sunday at 1 p.m. Thank you for the note.
