Each week, theScore's fantasy editors will run down the top waiver-wire pickups with a focus on the coming week and the rest of the season.

Quarterback

Jameis Winston, Buccaneers

Recommended FAAB allocation in 12-team leagues: 15 percent

Winston tied a rookie record with five touchdown passes on Sunday. After an erratic start to his career, the real-life No. 1 overall pick has just two interceptions in his last six games. With Vincent Jackson back in the lineup and Austin Seferian-Jenkins expected to follow in Week 12, Winston has the weapons to remain firmly on the map as a QB1.

Brock Osweiler, Broncos

FAAB: 5 percent

Osweiler was an impressive 20-of-27 for 250 yards and two touchdowns in his debut as starter, but the most encouraging sign for his chances of holding onto the job long term is how his presence kick-started the Broncos' rushing attack. This offense has big-time weapons. Osweiler could be a fantasy difference-maker down the stretch.

Running Back

Thomas Rawls, Seahawks

FAAB: 100 percent

Marshawn Lynch's injury could end his season. Even if it doesn't, the veteran will likely miss another start or two. Rawls is a budding star and the kind of player who can single-handedly boost a good fantasy lineup into a title contender. Spend whatever FAAB money you have left to get him.

Eddie Lacy, Packers

FAAB: 100 percent

The Lacy that fantasy owners thought they were getting when they made him a consensus first-round pick in the summer finally showed up Sunday. As the weather gets colder, Lacy has the chance to get hot and punish defenses through the fantasy playoffs. If Lacy was dropped in your league after losing his starting job to James Starks, spend whatever it takes to pick him up.

Tevin Coleman, Falcons

FAAB: 25 percent

Coleman was unimpressive in relief of the concussed Devonta Freeman on Sunday, but would have RB2 value by sheer volume if Freeman misses time.

Javorius Allen, Ravens

FAAB: 25 percent

Had Joe Flacco not suffered a torn ACL on Sunday, Allen would be in the conversation as a 100 percent player. Even though Allen should inherit the bulk of Justin Forsett's touches, the Ravens' offense won't be much of a threat to anyone with Matt Schaub under center and a difficult schedule ahead. Allen is a low-end RB2 at best.

Shaun Draughn, 49ers

FAAB: 10 percent

Draughn should hold on to RB3 value as long as Carlos Hyde remains sidelined, but the 49ers' weak offense will severely cap his upside.

Ahmad Bradshaw, Colts

FAAB: 10 percent

Bradshaw caught six touchdown passes in 10 games last season. He caught two on Sunday and should see a decent amount of red-zone work moving forward. Frank Gore remains atop the Colts' depth chart, but Bradshaw could carve out a 50-50 time-share by season's end.

Spencer Ware, Chiefs

FAAB: 5 percent

Ware exploded for 96 yards rushing and two touchdowns in relief of the injured Charcandrick West on Sunday, but West is tentatively expected to return to his workhorse role next week.

Wide Receiver

Terrance Williams, Cowboys

FAAB: 10 percent

Williams will return to fantasy relevance with Tony Romo back under center.

Devin Funchess, Panthers

FAAB: 8 percent

Funchess saw a career-high eight targets Sunday. He still drops too many passes, but he's seeing enough volume to be a viable WR3 with some upside.

Marvin Jones, Bengals

FAAB: 5 percent

In a soft week for wide receiver adds, Jones is worth a look. He is third in line (at best) for red-zone passing targets, but he's a talented player capable of multiple touchdowns in any given week.

Leonard Hankerson, Falcons

FAAB: 5 percent

Hankerson returned from injury Sunday and stepped right back into his role as the Falcons' top passing target not named Julio Jones.

Tight End

Austin Seferian-Jenkins

FAAB: 8 percent

Seferian-Jenkins put up 139 yards and two touchdowns in the first two games of the season, but hasn't played since due to injury. He's expected back this week and has an outside chance to be the savior TE-needy teams have been searching for.
