Watch Lists: Players to add before Week 1

Depending on the size of your league and its rosters, varying amounts of attractive talent will be left over from your draft. And regardless of how you feel about your roster, the Watch List is an important part of spotting guys to pick up on waivers. Right after the draft (and leading up to the season's start), I always add a couple dozen players to the watch list, just so I can remind myself to check their stats and possibly pick them up a week before everyone catches on. This is important, obviously, if you want to get a player - and even more important to catch a player early if you are playing in a league with FAAB waiver rules. Here are a handful of players to add to your Watch List as the season starts - and pounce on if/when they blow up early in the season:

Brandon Gibson, WR, StL: Amendola and Sims-Walker are the hyped players, but Gibson fits the mold of Brandon Lloyd last year better than these guys. Drafted in nearly zero league, Gibson looks to be starting and has shown a decent amount of rapport with Bradford in the preseason.

Antonio Brown/Emmanuel Sanders, WRs, Pit: Depending on your league, either, neither, or both of these guys could be drafted. Keep an eye on both. Roethlisberger's big plays often come on "playground" plays where he finds a WR getting open during a scramble. Whoever shows he can do this best (and stay healthy, especially for Sanders) has huge upside this year.

Greg Little, WR, Cle: Some people are actually drafting Little, a move that's a little risky for me, and probably just based on not knowing who "the guy" will be for Colt. Little certainly could be - and he has the physical tools to have a breakout season. But he's raw, meaning I'd like to see him do it at least once, first. Perfect for the Watch List.

Danny Woodhead, RB, NE: I think a lot of people just didn't expect Woodhead to be relevant again this year, especially considering the additions to the Pats' backfield. But Bellichick is hesitant to play rookies occasionally and Woodhead has been on the field more than any other RB in this offense. He should be drafted in PPR leagues but holds value for the watch list even in standard leagues.

Delone Carter, RB, Ind: I honestly was hoping he'd look better in the preseason; he's been good but not great. He's a strong runner that would pretty much only be a goal-line back, but put him on your Watch List and monitor his use. If it keeps increasing in the first couple weeks, pick him up and stash him.

Leon Washington, RB, Sea: The coaching staff loves him and he's looked back at 100% this preseason. He plays in a potentially dreadful offense, but for a versatile playmaker like Leon, that could be a good thing. Don't be surprised if his touches are equal or even greater than Lynch's in the first few weeks.

Evan Moore, TE, Cle: This guy is a red-zone monster. He seems to get along great with Colt and should be targeted quite a bit, even though he's technically the #2 TE to Ben Watson. He's not worth owning at this point, but keep an eye on him - and on Watson's health.

Tony Moeaki, TE, KC: I love picking up guys with inordinately low TD numbers compared to catches. Cassel will throw TD's to someone, and I promise Bowe isn't going to get 15 again. Moeaki has great skills and another year of gaining comfort with Cassel should only help. He's being drafted as roughly the 20th TE, and often not drafted at all. Keep an eye on his week 1 targets and grab him if you're weak at TE.
