KC Defense/Special Teams.
Maybe, just maybe there's a change of attitude there. I know it was the 49ers, but their offense HAD been moving the ball pretty well.
They could be a pickup for situational/matchups.

How about Brandon Lloyd. Longshot, yes, but I'm guessing after the Jacksonville/Skins game, teams will be rolling a little more coverage over the way of one Santana Moss. Brunell seems to also be getting out of the funk.
Chris Cooley also is avaliable in some of my leagues - he's been dropped out of frustration.

And they get Matt Leinart this week. One other defense I am strongly thinking of is NO....they play against Gradkowski led Bucs

When backups come in you always should look for guys that they're familiar with. With Leinart, I think Bergen has been starting for the Cards, so Leinart's probably been practicing with the second team = Leonard Pope and Bryant Johnson. In such a new role, security should not be underestimated. He may look to these two often.

Joe Jurevicius. He was targeted in the redzone, and Braylon Edwards and KWII are getting a lot of attention. A young qb like Frye may look to a veteran that he can trust, and the Browns seem to like getting behind and then have to play playground football.
Many teams dropped him because of the rib injury.

I'd like some more thoughts on Lloyd, actually.I watched him go to the WW in two leagues this past week - teams giving up on him. I need a fifth WR, and I'm deciding whether it is worth rostering someone like Lloyd or Jurevicius.Will Wash. throw enough to make Lloyd valuable?Will Edwards' and Winslow's progressions prevent Jurevicius from being valuable?It's looking more an dmore like I should re-acquire Bobby Engram as my WR5. Couldn't believe he survived into this week after I dropped him.

Furrey is owned in 7% of CBS leagues right now. Obviously that'll go up after this weekend, but he's certainly available in a lot of leagues for waiver claims this week.Turn the tool factor WAY down both here and in the PMs you send to members of this board if you want to keep posting.TIAJOne that you aren't in, which by default makes it a good one.What kind of league could you find where he is still available on the FA pile?

Morten Anderson. He won't get a lot of long field goals because Koenen is the kicker, but in Atlanta you have three good things for kickers.
- An offense that moves the ball extremely well
- An offense that can't seem to get the ball into the endzone
- A defense that's good enough that field goals for your offense is okay.

How about BJohnson?
Seems like a consistent 3-4 target a game guy, I am sure he's been working extensively with Leinert, and as insurance behind Fitz/Boldin, he seems to be a guy with nice upside.

Ernest Wilford - Matt Jones is getting hurt on a regular basis. You never know...
Marcedes Lewis could be on a waiver wire near you. He looked good the one play I saw him get the ball.
Good day for UCLA (fantasy wise ) Maurice Jones-Drew, DeShaun Foster, Ricky Manning Jr.
Matt Leinart got pummeled. Reggie Bush had a key fumble. Carson Palmer had a terrible game. Lofa Tatufu got schooled...the list goes on and on.

Re: Furrey - I don't play in any leagues at CBS, but at six leagues that I monitor all FA in for my teams as well as a FA column, he is already gone in all of them - and only a one I believe was the pickup last week.
As far as WR go Roscoe Parrish or Peerless Price in Buffalo both look like they will have some value especially as bye week fillins especially in Weeks 6 & 7 when people are most likely to have a need.
The angle regarding KC DS could be applied to those rotating DS - whomever is going to play
Arizona
San Francisco

Bears play AZ and SF in 2 of the next 3 weeks. Maybe they'll be a good play?

If you're in need of a DEF for week 5 pick-up the Patriots(who shut down the Bengals) against MIA this week who did NOTHING against the defensive likes of HOU and TEN 2 weeks in a row. Another option that might be available on the FA list are The Saints D/ST who play Tampa with Rookie QB Gradowski taking the wheel.

LOL - I took the NE/Mia combo as a good D combo to have. I am in complete agreement that a great play this week is NE's D against Miami.If NE's on the WW and you need a one-week filler, NE fits the bill.
Good point SC.He snuck back in pretty quietly.This is the kind of info these threads are good for.

They shut down denver (only 3 field goals - no td's), shut out the 49'ers who had put up some good points and get to play Arizona this coming week. Think Herm has that defense going the right way.MO

Furrey and Gabriel are both available in my league (12 teams but very tight roster limits). But I can guarantee at least one of them won't be available after this week because I'm first on the WW list and I'm looking for a WR. I think both of them can fill a WR3 role going forward.Furrey is owned in 7% of CBS leagues right now.

After realizing that both my D's wre on the same bye week I just picked up KC "D" for next week. They seem like the real deal. Jim

Totally disagree. The early waiver wire reports called out Cochery and Colston;both of which have bolstered my record and PF. FBG still puts out the best and most helpful reports out there,regardless of league format.ointstotopic:I don't know if this counts as a diamond in the rough, but DavidKircus is poised to do some good things in Denver. A lot morethan what he did in Detroit. And I like the potential last stand and/orblaze of glory for Koren Robinson.Jerious Norwood. Maurice Drew. Laurence Maroney. Michael Robinson is a goal line hog. I forget his name, but that huge Philadelphia FB. Bernard Berrian. For the love of god, if he's in the FA Pool, get Heath Miller. That kid is annoyingly good. Drew Brees is rarely drafted in smaller drafts. Atlanta's D/ST is a great one. Ashley Lelie is usually good for at least one big play a game. So is Randle El. Buffalo's D/ST, if you need it. Jericho Cotchery. In IDP leagues, Donte Whitner, Kamerion Wimbley, and Pacman Jones.

Scratch that and reverse it - Brown's in the dog house.
I had Lloyd in every one of my leagues prior to friday and right now I've only got him left on one team and this is 12 team, 20 roster spots, PPR league so pretty deep leagues.The reason I targeted Lloyd, albeit always past the 10th round, is I recall his hot start last year before Alex Smith basically came in and killed the fantasy value for everyone on that team. Than when I figured in the fact Washington gave up a decent draft pick for him and Lloyd raved about the fact he was in an offense he loves I tought he could put up decent numbers. I've only started him in one game in one league but I've watched him closely and there is just not much to like, which is why he is only left on one team of mine. After 4 games he has done next to nothing, the Redskins run the ball a lot, and when they do pass Lloyd is option 3A or 3B with ARE and after Moss and Cooley. My guess is he'll eventually find the endzone but he won't be a consistent guy you will ever want in your lineup and even when the Redskins were having the tar beaten out of them by the Cowboys and forced to air it out he still did little.

as he was drafted on day 1. In lots of other leagues, he'll be available and is the kind of info the guy wants. It's a balance and we'll continue to try and work it out.J

IMO, there's nothing to work out. You guys do a great job, and it's not hard to just ignore the names which are already rostered. The human mind is good at filtering out that kind of info.And this site (don't remember if it was subscription content or not) helped me pick up Willie Parker (dynasty) early in the 2004 season, so diamonds in the rough are duly noted.You both illustrate a great point.

Is Furrey really going to keep it up, though? In my league, we have four WR spots, and we only start two. I'm not sure I can justify picking this guy up, when he has had 5 points, 6, 3, and one nice week with 20. No doubt someone in my league will snatch him this week. I just don't think it's going to be me (I'd have to drop Ernest Wilford).
That balance is what any FF site must strive for - I've seen ones that do it well and do it badly. You need to cater to a wide variety of people weekly. Sharks and guppies alike. I think you guys do ok. I usually read the whoile thing - even if I know aboutthe guy I like a perspective other than my own -- gives me food for thought.Thanks Guys.You both illustrate a great point.
