Not on WW in my league
Jason Wood

Byron Leftwich is available in a lot of leagues
Brodie Croyle is worth a flier in deep leagues
Cadillac available in a TON of leagues
Chansi Stuckey deserves some decent sized FA bids
Devery Henderson and Robert Meachem are available in a lot of shallow leagues
Michael Clayton looked solid (and made some great catches in traffic)
Jeremy Shockey is available in a lot of 10-team leagues, particularly Yahoo and ESPN public leagues
Todd Heap available in plenty of leagues
Bids for Vick will be plentiful

In my smaller redraft, I picked up Caddy last week and Flacco is still available. 10 teams and a short bench so Flacco doesn't really do much for anyone. Rice should have been a 6th round pick if not better. Bess in PPR.

Garcon ended up with 3 receptions after A-Gonz left, didn't get to actually see the game so not sure if Collie was targeted often, but I rolled with Garcon.

From what I saw of Garcon in the preseason he drops too many passes and Manning won't put up with that if it continues. Collie is sure handed and the one to have long term IMO.

Is Flacco a legitimate fantasy starter? (I solicit opinions because I'm stuck with Garrard. And I played the Brees owner!

Ray Rice put up 17 pts in my league vs 23 pts by McGahee who was drafted 6-8 rounds later. Now I'll have to wonder who to start in 1 PPR league where I have both.

If you're going to roll with one of these guys, then I'd roll with Garcon. Collie will see less snaps because he's a slot WR and will only be used in three WR sets even if Gonzo is out long term (hope not).

after Manningham's TD run, I'm sure some will grab him

What about after he drops a bunch, which he will? I was pro-Garcon to begin training camp, but IMO Collie is the better WR. You might be right about playing time early, but I expect that if AG is out for a long period of time that Collie's talent will win out over Garcon eventually.

It never fails that somebody has to make some stupid crack that it's basically ridiculous to suggest that Player X or Y might actually be available on the WW. Give me a break. In bigger, deeper leagues (which includes most of my own leagues) where all of these guys are obviously gone, you can't get these guys on the WW, so just MOVE ON TO THE NEXT POST to look for possible WW pickups for YOUR league. But NOT ALL LEAGUES ARE THE SAME. Some leagues have a lot fewer teams than a typical league or much shallower benches, or both. None of these guys are available in any of the leagues I'm in this year, but so what? I'd rather let people throw out names they think might be helpful to the rest of us (even if many of them aren't available in most of my leagues), rather than have a poster be discouraged from posting about someone who might actually be a good WW pickup for me simply because the poster thinks he might be hassled with some silly post about how none of the suggested players are available in any real league, or something similar.

Manning to Manningham is looking very intriguing.
Eli is reading his way pretty often, and his open field moves have looked rather dazzling. He definitely has talent, as he was one of THE top college WRs of his class IIRC

So tell us what percentage of leagues do you think Ray Rice is still on the waiver wire? Then let us know about Flacco and C. Williams. We all know that leagues are different but to suggest Ray Rice is a free agent is laughable.
In a redraft league, Michael Clayton looked really good, and just posted the highest yardage he's had in a single game since he was rookie (and his last game last year is the second most yards he's had since he was a rookie).In dynasty leagues, Mike Wallace and Andre Caldwell have both looked pretty good for young guys.
Flacco and Caddy, sure... but Ray Rice? His ADP was the 6th round!!! Might as well suggest Jonathan Stewart and Kellen Winslow while you're at it (both players had a later ADP than Rice). Maybe even Jerricho Cotchery and Pittsburgh's defense.

Good matchups you may want to start both. Rice is the starter and will get most of the carries, but McGahee gets enough that he is startable too. Although Rice didn't score I think a 108 yards is a pretty good day for him and I don't see how his role is diminished.

Lienart with the eventual benching of Warner.

Burleson is looking real good, Seahawks offense is moving the ball well and Hass is locking onto him.
Haven't seen any highlights (was a the Colts game) so not recommending any of these guys, but here are some stat lines from the early games of guys who might be on the waiver wire.
Davone Bess – 57 yards, 7 receptions
Andre Caldwell – 54 yards, 6 receptions
Devery Henderson – 103 yards, 5 receptions, 1 touchdown
Jeremy Shockey – 31 yards, 4 receptions, 2 touchdowns
Mike Bell – 143 yards on 28 carries
Patrick Crayton – 135 yards, 4 receptions, 1 touchdown
Michael Clayton – 93 yards, 5 receptions
Carnell Williams – 97 yards on 13 carries, 1 touchdown
Pierre Garcon – 24 yards, 3 receptions
Mark Clayton – 77 yards, 5 receptions, 1 touchdown
Kenny Britt, 85 yards, 4 receptions
Davone Bess – 57 yards, 7 receptions
Andre Caldwell – 54 yards, 6 receptions
Devery Henderson – 103 yards, 5 receptions, 1 touchdown
Jeremy Shockey – 31 yards, 4 receptions, 2 touchdowns

how long is he out?
He and Austin seem to be splitting reps.
Second Clayton should be Mark Clayton (Baltimore), not Michael Clayton (Tampa).

IMHO, Gonzalez being out helps Wayne, Clark & the RB's more than Garcon/Collie.
JohnnyU

yeah, I basically said that in the AG thread.
Which Bryant got hurt? I can't find it anywhere? Thanks.

Very possible. Gonzalez I believe got hurt on the 1st series of the game (maybe it was the 2nd) and Manning really didn't look Garcon's or Collie's way all that much. I wouldn't pickup Collie at this point unless you think the Colts are going to run a lot of 3 WR sets because Collie is strictly a slot WR. If Gonzo comes back, then there is a decent chance Collie plays more then Garcon, but Collie isn't going to play on the outside over Garcon.

Jeff Garcia might be worth picking up this week. His phone should be ringing off the hook right about now.

Who has the better upside between the 2 Claytons? Mark Clayton or Michael Clayton?

McGahee may have outscored him today but I think it was due to good fortune. His first score was on a broken play in the red zone and his second score was in garbage time. Rice was clearly the #1 back today and did nothing to relinquish that role. Rice had 20+ touches today and did well with them.
