Owen Daniels (TE, Houston) was the closest thing to a breakout free agent in my deep league.
If you are not in a deep league, the following guys may have stepped it up:
QB Andrew Walter, Raiders
RB Ron Dayne, Texans
RB Samkon Gado, Texans
RB Musa Smith, Ravens
RB Michael Turner, Chargers
WR Koren Robinson, Packers (Return Leagues)
WR Arnaz Battle, 49ers
WR Bernard Berrian, Bears
WR Bryant Johnson, Cardinals
WR Mike Furrey, Lions

Fair Tax!
In my passing TD = 6, INT -3, I'm done with Plummer. Watched Kitna on my bench put up a decent 15 against the best D in the league and Plummer has a total after two weeks of 1.
Grossman and Alex Smith are my top priorites and are available. One will be taking Plummer's place on my roster.

I am totally with you, in fact Im dumping Plummer for Rex and then Lions D (long story) for Pennington. I may even dump leftwich for A Smith and play the matchups. Jake is done as far as Im concernedI may pick up Kitna also who is on ww

Brooks will probably get one or two more starts but his leash is incredibly short. Walter got the ball moving and that can't be ignored.
Colston is a reciever isn't he?

On Yahoo he is listed as WR/TE

I'm looking to dump Chris Simms for Rex Grossman.

He's been listed as TE/WR on Yahoo.I don't have anyone new to add but Cotchery, Furrey and Colsten went in my leagues last week and proved themselves valuable immediately. So scoop them up if they're available. Cotchery's TD today was nothingless than sheer will and he's a good size for RZ looks. Berrian's fast and Rex seems to have the deep ball down pat. Grossman is another possible FA, though likely gone in medium sized leagues. Furrey tooka pounding today but was getting alot of looks, as was Colsten.
Romo was looking good last week but Bledsoe is doing alright tonight.
Cutler might be a nice pickup in DEN if the snake continues to struggle.
Brees looks good, has similar weapons to what he had in SD though not yet at the same level. But he has a tough division to deal with.
As for Andrew Walter, I know they faced 2 really tough Ds, but I wouldn't touch a Raider with John Madden's johnson right now. Nice OLine Shell.

Bernard Berrian- He was a stud at Fresno State, where he was David Carr's top target. A knee sprain slowed down his college career and cost him his junior season. After a decent senior year, he was drafted in the third round by the Bears in 2004.Crusaderfan said:
- Despite only running in the 4.5 range at the scouting combine, Berrian is a legitimate deep threat who has consistently shown the ability to get deep and make the big play.
- Berrian started to come on late in the 2005 season, compiling ten catches for 222 yards in his final five games (44 yards/game, which comes out to 710 yards over a full season).
- Berrian was one of the standouts of Bears training camp, where he routinely made big plays.
- Comp players: Ashley Lelie, Eddie Kennison, Chad Johnson

They have a somewhat similar playing style. Take that for whatever it's worth.

He probably won't be a Peyton this season, but if you're desperate for a QB, I think he'll do. If Shell does the right thing and names him the starter tonight, he'll have two weeks to fine-tune a relationship with the starting lineup. He's been there for a year, so it should be a good fit.

Chris Henry should be a fine pickup too, considering Johnson's concussion and TJ's injury issues.

Dez Clark is money with Grossman throwing the rock.

Good amount of targets so far

All these guys taken in my league :(
I will add,
M Robinson.
He may be taken in most leagues, but someone may drop him with Gore exploding.
Could be worth something IF Gore goes down.

lovin' that pick-up

Good plan ... I did that last Monday ...
Last week picked up Des Clark and also Pennington to replace Brooks. Pennington still looks good, but I kind of am thinking about Grossmen now. Not sure if that is an upgrade though.

We can keep up to a max of 4 RBs and WRs on our rosters (makes for move FDA moves and @ $2 a pop it adds up), so there are many viable FAs available in out league. B. Edwards, Reg Williams, Colston and even I Bruce are all out there for the taking. I drafted Wilford but am considering 'upgrading' to Reg. Williams. I like JAX schedule so I'd most likely pick him up before Colston, unless someone can convince me that Colston would make a better keeper (we keep one per position).

I was among the many who dumped Plummer this week; did it in favor of Grossman. Also cut Engram and picked up Reggie Williams. Tried to get Clark at TE, but someone beat me to it.

Obviously you didn't watch the game, and didn't read the boxscore closely enough.Walter had 3 INT's, 3 fumbles (1 lost), and completed 10 out of 27 passes. I'm not saying it's his fault, but those starts are hardly those of a QB that gets the ball moving, unless you mean moving behind him.

Luckily they don't play the Ravens every week.

Shocked to hear people dropping Plummer already. That being the case, surprised people aren't mentioning Cutler as a pickup.
My ww moves for wk 2 were:
Arnaz Battle (get pts for return yards)
Bills DEF

Walter absolutely SUCKED in that game. Was a sitting duck in the pocket and a turnover MACHINE. Sure, they're not gonna play the Ravens every week, but Walter looks like as much of a disaster as Brooks. As far as waiver wire pickups in the near future: Whichever D is playing the Raiders is worth thinking about.I can't imagine ever being in so desperate a situation where I'd be starting Walter the way he's playing right now and as bad as the Raiders look. Especially when the ONLY QB injury so far this year has been to Brooks?

Nice to see the Bills Def on this list. Many WW discussions focus so much on offense, that it's useful to discuss WW defenses.
