who? has he played yet this season? the line is awful. what makes you think hes worthy of a spot on a redraft roster?
because he'll get opportunity to be the starter. Jaxs line is awful as well but Robinson had a good day with opportunity and talent. Who knows if Sims can have the same results but Martin is the worst starter in the NFL, they are looking to deal him, and the staff likes Sims. The writing is screaming on the wall for a pick up. I've been advocating to pick up Sims prior to this weekend but another Martin dud is yet another nail in his coffin. Sure you can wait until sims has 18-87 but then you'll likely never get him. It may already be too late with slim WW pickups.
Based on your ignorance of who Charles Sims is.....I might be inclined to go Wheaton
Wheaton has been a disappointment so I'd go with Bryant between those two.
Even if he's back, Nicks is pretty much at the end of the line. Hard to believe it was just the injuries, lot of talk about how lazy he is. A shadow of his former self though, can't get any seperation at all or make any plays.Twenty-Four Eighty-Four said:
forgive me for not knowing much about a third round rookie who has never played in the league and also plays for one of the bottom five teams in the entire NFL please forgive me.
I agree on Wheaton, but Bryant had 40/1 last week too. He's been active two games this year and now produced in both.
That's why I said this:
Bryant looks good, but I just think he will be too inconsistent to start in a 12 team league. If I'm wrong, it won't be the first time.
I'll try to sell. Martin has been terrible and may be traded. Even despite that happening, the new coaching staff drafted Sims in the third round and has raved about him before the injury, including comparisons to Forte. There are inside reports that he Sims will be given a chance to take the reins this season. Rainey has had some success behind the line, so Sims may as well. At this point in the season taking a RB off waivers that has a good chance of starting without an injury to those in front of them is rare and worth the risk of holding for a few weeks. You'll know rather quickly whether to keep him or cut bait for the next WW add, and that's not something you can say for most lottery handcuffs.
I don't know if I agree with that. It looked like Ben was looking for Bryant a few times. He looked good....I agree that I would target Bryant over Wheaton.
This regime didn't draft Martin and they love Sims' passing skills, which they stated in the preseason.
Nice post but I think that says more about Wheaton than anything else. Obv Bryant wasn't playing the first few weeks because he wasn't ready. Ben didn't have trouble spreading the ball around at any other point in his career.
Rainey would be the starter if Martin wasn't in the picture but I can see Sims getting opportunities to prove himself as he returns to the lineup. He might even have an opportunity to become the lead back by the end of the season. But I wouldn't expect him to start or get the majority of touches early after his return.
I don't agree (although we're all just speculating). Rainey has outperformed Martin pretty consistently but the Bucs have refused to give him anything more than a 3rd down/spelling role. This tells me they don't think much of hiim as a runner and don't trust his fumbling issues.
I don't put much stock in statements a team makes about how much they love/like any given player they drafted. I have never heard a team say they are disappointed with a draft pick they made before his first game.
I like Orton based on volume. If they're losing he'll put up close to 50 attempts assuming the RBs are still Dixon and Brown. I think he's a nice high floor / low ceiling play. Vick is definitely interesting but you know you'll get turnovers. If it's only -1 per turnover (or 0) then he's more interesting. One thing I know is that the answer is not Mettenberger.
I picked him up last week without checking bye weeks and realized today that he is on bye the same week as Luck.
Dudes team is a mess of injuries and we have small roster. But thanks for the judgement!
I have the 1st claim in a dynasty league and that's who I'm going with. I figure this will be the last week to get him off waivers.
