Seattle WR situation Mike Williams and Ben Obomanu (1 Viewer)

The Seattle WR situation has been a revolving door for fantasy, but it seems they always have a WR that puts up excellent stats regardless of if they win big or are getting beatdown. I rode BMW earlier and it paid off, then Obomanu and it was also a winner. I wanted to trust my gut and start Butler this past week and it would have been a nice return. Point is, there's gold in them Seattle WR's.

Latest I heard is that BMW and Obomanu are both going to be ready to practice on Wednesday. Playing at home against Atlanta isn't the best matchup, but I can see a good opportunity to get garbage points. I own both BMW and Obomanu and would love to put one of them back in my lineup. Which one looks to better for the playoffs?

Any of you trusting (or waiting with baited breath) on this situation?

How have WR1s done against ATL? I'm likely starting BMW, but I'm nervous he is one wrong step away from coming out like last game.

 
I like Obamanu if he's really healthy. If not then Ruvell Martin seems like a legitimate play. Staying away from BMW as I don't like the foot injury at all.

I read somewhere that BMW was close to going this past week (warmed up in pre-game but was a last second scratch). I gotta assume that if he practices this whole week with no setbacks then it should be safe to start him?

Going to be hard to start him after the week 13 debacle. I am going to have to chosse between BMW, Collie and Miles Austin.

Why? The injury was a completely different one (ankle) from what he had been dealing with (foot). Any player can suffer an injury at any time. It's not like the rushed him back and the injury didn't allow him to continue.

Honestly, I thought he reinjured himself. Thanks for the info.

Factoring in weather (rain/snow, 30's-40's), west coast, Seattle needs a win, nice passing matchup with Big Mike and Obo coming back... I think Seattle wins this game.

If BMW practices Thurs and Fri, I think I am going with him over Boldin. My WRs have killed me this year. Last week was another disaster with Boldin, CJohnson, and Bowe. Why not gamble with BMW at this point?

 
Just saw this from rapid reports:

19 minutes ago - The Seahawks have filled the roster spot of WR Deon Butler (broken leg) with an offensive lineman and not another receiver, which is a good indicator that WRs Mike Williams (ankle) and Ben Obomanu (hand) will be back this week. Seahawks RapidReports

 
Kenny Britt should be the #1 WR target in most leagues, assuming he's available.

But BMW is worth the risk if Britt isn't out there. He had a minor ankle sprain; nothing major. Obomanu still has the problem of whether his hand has fully healed or not; hard to catch a ball when you have to worry about it ripping your hand wide open.

:confused: agreed, counting on BMW big time for my super bowl after Crabtree has laid back to back eggs.
 
What was the extent of Obomanu's gash in his hand? Typically stitches come out in a week, and I would think unless it wa really deep and gnarly then two weeks would be enough for it to not be much of an issue, particularly with experts dressing it, and him wearing gloves to protect it. Personally I'd rather go w/ the guy with a presumably healed hand injury over a guy with a couple of recent foot/ankle dings.

If BMW relied on his speed I might agree with you. I would think a hand injury might be more worrisome to a WR.

Does he rely on cutting ability? Maybe I'm discounting how bad of a cut it was but I just don't see the hand being much of an issue after two weeks.

To me, the location of the cut is what is worrisome. If I understand correctly, it was in between two fingers. Seems to me that it would be pretty easy to open something like that back up if it isn't completely healed.

I believe this is Atlanta's third road game in a row as well.

I've got to choose between BMW, Mike Thomas, Brandon Lloyd and Vincent Jackson this week. Please keep this information coming.
 
For now, since the news seems encouraging for BMW, I have him in my lineup over Ochocinco (don't laugh, but he's been decent not great, but not a goose egg either).

If BMW is a late scratch, only options left are Obomanu and Jacoby Ford. I guess Ford is a worthy gamble, but not if Champ Bailey is covering him.

Please keep the good BMW vibes coming. Any news is appreciated.

 
Trying to figure out why the top 200 forward projects 9.1 this week for BMW but then only 4.1 for the remaining 2 weeks. Not like he has another bad matchup this year.

Ford was basically the Raiders' No. 4 passing game option last week (No. 5 if you include McFadden). I'm not sure why Champ would be on him. I'd guess they'd either put Champ on Murphy or leave him on one side of the field and let him defend whoever lined up there. BMW practiced fully today.

Did Big Mike practice today?

Nevermind just found this on rotoworld:Mike Williams (ankle) returned to Seahawks practice Wednesday and participated without restrictions.He's on track for a probable tag on the final injury Friday. Dealing with foot and ankle sprains (two separate injuries on his lower left leg), Williams has been sidelined since Week 11. BMW will return as the heavy favorite for targets among Seahawks pass catchers Sunday against Atlanta.
 
Latest updates I could find, looks more like BMW is going to be a solid play this weekend.

(FFChamps) Seattle Seahawks Wide Receiver, Mike Williams (ankle), was back at practice on Wednesday and was a full participant.

Analysis: Williams hasnt played since Week 11 but its a great indication hell be on the field since he wasnt limited during Wednesdays session. With Deon Butler out for the season and Ben Obomanu likely out with a hand injury, Williams may see even more targets than usual. If Obomanu cant play, Ruvell Martin will likely take over at the #2 spot.

and this.
(KFFL) While Seattle Seahawks WR Ben Obomanu (hand) was listed as a full participant in practice Wednesday, Dec. 15, his number of receptions were limited as the team wants to give his hand more time to heal, report Danny O'Neil, of The Seattle Times. "It's a day-by-day thing, and hopefully by the end of the week, I'll be comfortable with some kind of way to make it work to help the team out Sunday," Obomanu said. Obomanu suffered a lacerated right hand in the Week 13 game against the Carolina Panthers which required stitches and he was inactive in Week 14.

both practiced fully today....Per Rotoworld:

Big Mike Williams (ankle, probable) practiced fully on Friday.

"Mike and Ben (Obomanu) made it through this week and we're looking forward to seeing those guys play," said coach Pete Carroll. We rank Williams as the No. 32 overall receiver play for Week 15. Obomanu comes in at 39th.

Source: Seattle Times

Ben Obomanu (hand) turned in a full week of practice and is listed as probable for Week 15 against the Falcons.

"Ben will be alright," coach Pete Carroll confirmed. Mike Williams (ankle) is also due back. It'd be hard to count on either player in the fantasy playoffs.

How heavy is the rain going to be coming down? Enough to hurt the passing game ?

For Sunday:Rain and snow tapering off in the morning. Decreasing cloudiness in the afternoon. High 44F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 50%.Grimes and Robinson both check in at 5' 10" while BWM is 6' 5". If he is healthy as they are leading on, a full 60 minutes should give PPR owners at least 15 points, imo.
 
Considering starting BMW over Desean Jackson this week in a PPR league. I think Jackson only got about 9 points last time they played the Giants. I think BMW could be in store for 20+ this weekend ala Vjax.

 
would you start M Williams over Calvin Johnson and Santana Moss?

I think I'm going to ....

It is pretty easy to reopen, at least in my case it was. I split the skin between two of my fingers playing 16in softball on a line drive. Got it stitched up, couldn't play for a month. Got the stitches out and played. I reopened it on an easy infield fly. I am guessing it was due to the spin of the ball since it wasn't a hard hit ball at all. It didn't take much.ETA: It reopened completely, not just a small tear.

Likewise.

For context, I'm giving BMW the start over the likes of Sid Rice and Lance Moore.

I like that Hass is still a decent QB and that he's been feeding BMW the ball when they're both on the field.

 
Why does everybody assume Williams is the guy to have over Obomanu? Obo put up some nice numbers before cutting his hand.
