Waiver Wire: Versatile Booker worth a look

"Fantasy owners have been delighted to see some of their favorite players from seasons past finally coming alive recently, as it looks as though everyone has played enough games to see what they are made off. The lack of training camp appears to have balanced itself 20-something games into the season and the numbers for most players are starting to even out.

Some players have been able to bounce back from early struggles and injuries continue to dictate roles on most clubs.

This week we are looking at Trevor Booker.

With Andray Blatche expected to be out for nearly a month, Booker will receive a boost off the bench and could end up starting for the Wizards if Jan Vesely continues to struggle. He scored 16 points in the game Blatche got injured and followed that up with a near double-double performance, putting up 14 points with nine rebounds on Jan. 30 against the Bulls. He was a double-digit scorer when Blatche missed games last season, and on a Washington team that can always use the scoring, he should be able to get his numbers again.

Booker can also help owners with his rebounding and blocks, so he is definitely worth a look in deeper formats heading into Week 7 (Feb. 6-12). The 24-year-old will face off against Toronto, New York, Miami and Detroit during the upcoming scoring period. "
