Do You Want to Use Your Waiver Wire Priority on Jacksonville Jaguars WR Allen Hurns? [GIFs]

When it comes to fantasy football chances are strong that the league champion is not going to be playing with all of the guys he (or she) drafted at the end of the season. Whether it's injuries or ineffective play everyone always ends up picking up someone in free agency making waiver wire priority as good as gold.

It's especially important when someone appears to have a breakout game like Jacksonsville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Allen Hurns appeared to have.

It was a day for the record books. Only one other person in NFL history scored touchdowns on the first two receptions of their career--which Hurns did against the Phildelphia Eagles (34 and 21). On the day he ended up with four receptions for 110 yards and two touchdowns.

Sounds like fantasy gold, right? If he's available you have to add him...right?

Not so fast.

Let's remember a couple things first. Chad Henne is the quarterback. Who? He's the guy who is owned by fewer players than Tim Tebow. He's never been much of a fantasy player and there is not much reason to think he will be now.

Thanks to the emphasis on illegal contact is making it easier for everyone, but I wouldn't expect much more than what he got against the Eagles (266 yards) if he ever gets that again.So that means there is not going to be a lot to go around.

Hurns had the hot hand Sunday which is going to make him tempting to add, but what worries me ost is not Henne or even the other wide receivers of the Jaguars. It's his dissappearance in the second half that does.

So was this undrafted rookie just lucky early in the game? Or was it the Eagles defense that took him out of the game? Or was it he just didn't get the looks in the second half?

It's a lot of uncertainty for an unknown player with a middle of the road quarterback (and that is being nice). Unless you have another player in mind you might want to consider holding off and letting someone else waste their time on him.
