Authentic Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , waiver wire adds aren’t always going to be big immediate impact types. A lot of them are going to give you some depth and spot starts on bye weeks. That’s mostly where this week’s waiver wire adds fall. Before we get to the main additions, for the third week in a row we’ll mention Taylor Gabriel, who is still just 22 percent owned in Yahoo leagues. Albert Wilson, WR, Miami DolphinsRostered - Yahoo: 10 percent | ESPN: 6 percentOver the past three weeks, Wilson has seen 6, 6, and 9 targets, which have resulted in 4, 5, and 6 receptions, and 19, 43, and 155 yards. Where Wilson has really been able to make a splash is after the catch. On his 73-yard touchdown on Sunday, the expected yards after the catch was one (1). He went for 70. That wasn’t even his best run against expectation — that was a 74-yard touchdown with five expected yards after the catch and he went 78, 73 yards above expectation. Only one other player this season has one reception with over 50 YAC over expectation. The Dolphins are also starting to use Wilson more in spots where he can run after the catch — crossing routes to the middle of the field.Ito Smith, RB, Atlanta FalconsRostered - Yahoo: 9 percent | ESPN: 13.7 percentSmith has scored a touchdown in three straight games and he’s going to keep getting the opportunity to do more. Devonta Freeman sat out on Sunday and his outlook for Monday night against the Giants doesn’t look good to start the week. Tevin Coleman out-snapped Smith against the Buccaneers (57 percent to 46 percent), but Smith had more carries (11 to 10) and both had two targets. Smith is on a bye after facing the Giants Color Rush Jon Halapio Jersey , but should be worth at least a bench spot while Freeman’s health is monitored through the second half of the season.Cole Beasley, WR, Dallas CowboysRostered - Yahoo: 9 percent | ESPN: 8.4 percentMaybe the Cowboys figured out which receiver they should try to run the offense through. Maybe it’s just a blip, but there’s no doubt Beasley had the most impressive game for a Cowboys wide receiver this season before you even consider it came against the Jacksonville Jaguars — nine catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets. When the Dallas offense was at its best in 2016, Beasley was a big part of it. If the Cowboys can keep running the passing offense through the slot, they could be on to something, and buying into that is putting your faith in the Dallas coaching staff, so understood if there’s hesitation. But if the Cowboys figured out Beasley’s role, he could he turn into at least a high volume option for PPR leagues.Latavius Murray, RB, Minnesota VikingsRostered - Yahoo: 49 percent | ESPN: 46.2 percentDalvin Cook was “close” to playing on Sunday, per Mike Zimmer, but the second-year back was inactive against the Arizona Cardinals and has been dealing with injuries for most of the season and his status is something to monitor. Without Cook on the field Sunday, Murray got 82 percent of the snaps with 24 carries for 155 yards. The Vikings have been one of the most pass-heavy teams in the league this season, but they have also been among the league leaders in total plays, which still gives plenty of volume to running backs. Cook’s return would take away from Murray’s impact, but any future injury concerns would give Murray a clear path to a No. 1 back role. It’s a gamble well worth the roster spot for the about half of leagues he’s not currently on a roster.Giants news, 8/22: Mark Herzlich — “spirit” of helmet rule is correct In the second quarter of Friday’s preseason game against the Detroit Lions, the New York Giants felt the impact of the new helmet rule for the first time. Linebacker Mark Herzlich received a highly questionable 15-yard penalty for “lowering his helmet to initiate contact Color Rush Curtis Riley Jersey ,” negating a sack of Matt Cassel by Lorenzo Carter.On replay, running back Theo Riddick of the Lions appeared to initiate the contact — in fact, seeming to launch himself into Herzlich.Coach Pat Shurmur wasn’t happy, saying “I have a very strong opinion of that play,” and adding that the Giants would send it to the league for clarification.The rule, via SB Nation’s ‘Rise ‘n Grind’ newsletter:The new rule: It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent. Contact does not have to be to an opponent’s head or neck area – lowering the head and initiating contact to an opponent’s torso, hips, and lower body, is also a foul. This rule applies anywhere on the field at any time.鈥婸enalties for Violation: Loss of 15 yards. If the foul is by the defense, it is also an automatic first down. The player may also be ejected.The rule has led to a rash of highly-questionable penalties being called across the league during preseason games.Tuesday, Herzlich spoke about the rule.“To me, at the end of the day, the spirit and the purpose of this rule is right. We want our players to be safe, we don’t want to be – we want to take the head out of the game,” Herzlich said. “You see in preseason a lot of times when you get certain holding calls on punt return emphasized, it’s called a replay. This could be a situation where they are overcalling it right now so you get used to it, but as players, we do have to know that they are out there.”The veteran linebacker was asked if the helmet penalty should be reviewable.“I’m not exactly sure what is going to make it work correctly. If it’s easier for the refs to see it as a reviewable play, that’s one thing. If it’s the type of rule where they’ve got to see it fast motion Youth Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , that’s kind of how it goes,” he said. “But that becomes two very different penalties where you can stop and take a replay of a flag like that. That would be very different than a bang-bang play.”Shurmur: “We’ll see” if Odell Beckham will play FridayThe Giants coach wasn’t biting on Tuesday when asked if Beckham, who has yet to play a preseason snap, would be in the lineup Friday against the New York Jets.“We’ll see,” Shurmur said. “鈥ou knew I was going to give you a real short answer on that one.”Is Beckham physically ready to play in a game?“He’s doing really well in practice here, so we’ll see where he’s at,” said Shurmur. “Again, coming back from injury, so we’ll try to be smart with him.”Saquon Barkley “training really well”Shurmur didn’t give a whole lot more detail when it came to the team’s first-round pick in the draft, who is working his way back from a hamstring injury.“Coming back. As we all know, he tweaked his hamstring, and he’s training really well and doing more and more each day,” Shurmur said. “We like the path he’s on. 鈥?We’ll see how it plays out.”Around the Inter-GoogleGiants' Ereck Flowers fires back at Ben McAdoo's criticism of himGiants right tackle Ereck Flowers pushed back not only against criticism from former head coach Ben McAdoo, but the fact that he didn't deliver it face-to-face.Odell Beckham dazzles again but Giants coach stays cautiousOdell Beckham looks ready for action.
