Nate’s second tier WR’s to boost your team

As we cross the quarter way mark in the season, we start to see a clear picture of who is producing, who are the rising stars, and who are the fantasy busts for the season. The dame can be said for your fantasy team as. Maybe your team is rolling to start the year like mine, 4-0, or maybe your team started slow like Tyler, 1-3. Either way your probably looking for some help to either keep up the pace and stay at the top or  looking for the guy to turn your team around. One of the best potions to find that guy is at wide receiver. Top guys go down and the second tier players have to step in, and this provides a great market to find game changers for your team. Here are four of the best bets to boost your squad.

Calvin Ridley:

Ridley was a wild card going into the year. He was stuck behind Julio Jones and Mohammed Sanu and there wasn’t a clear path for him to get catches. But, Julio has had a slow start and combined with an injury and Ridley has reaped the benefits. Ridley stepped into the spot light in week 2, and put up weeks of 17, 40, and 21. That is top calliber numbers at the position and even when Julio gets back to form, Ridley is the sure number two on the falcons and should produce all season long.

Tyler Boyd:

Tyler Boyd has been on the bengals for a few years now and had very little to show for it. It looked as if Boyd was heading toward a release, and then boom, he burst onto the scene this year. Boyd has finnaly gotten on the same page as Andy Dalton and he has shined as the right hand man to AJ Green. Boyd has had weeks of 21, 25, and 21, and looks to be the number two guy in Cincy.

Geronimo Allison:

Allison has come out of no where to fill the void a wide receiver in Green Bay. When the Packers let Jordy Nelson go, there was a massive whole left in the Green Bay receiving core, and more important, leaving Aaron Rodgers without a security blanket or a receiver he can trust to always bring in any pass he throws there way. Well, Allison has formed a great boned with Rodgers and is putting up pretty decent numbers because of it. With weeks of 18, 13, 16, and 14, Allison looks to be a consistent wr and a favorite of Rodgers.

Taylor Gabriel: 

Taylor Gabriel was an after thought to the additions to the Bears receiving core in the off season. Allen Robinson and Trey Burton were the big pick ups, but Gabriel has made a big impact as the 2nd receiver in the Bears. Teams are starting to zero in on Robinson now that Mitch Trubisky has shown he is a competent QB, and that leaves a lot of catches for Gabriel to pick up. Gabriel capitalized on the extra catches with a 30 point outing going into the Bears bye week. Gabriel is a receiver trending upward that could pay big dividends down the stretch.
