10 Smart Waiver Adds For Week 6
Austin Davis, QB, St. Louis Rams
While it would be patently absurd to compare Austin Davis to the immortal Kurt Warner, one inconvertible fact is similar - they came out of nowhere to throw the ball all over the damn field for the Rams.
The numbers for Davis don't lie: 375 yards, 3 touchdowns. Named the starter for the rest of the year. You can certainly take the wary approach that the upcoming 49ers are quite a different defense than the Week 5 Eagles but still, you have to give the kid some credit. Brian Quick is emerging, Jared Cook is underrated, and Zac Stacy has been a surprise in the passing game even if his rushing has been subpar.
He's a streaming option with significant upside, which is in rare supply on waivers. Believe it.
