I dropped Austin to pick up Diggs with the Rams bye and having a short bench league where I'm hoarding 7 Rbs at the moment. FWIW I'd take Diggs over Ginn (I've just never believed in Teddy as a WR despite his recent succes) but would probably lean toward Wilson over Diggs at this point just based on playing with a QB more likely to sling it.
I think it depends on the rest of your roster, your league, etc . . ., but it is difficult to recommend Diggs over players with better defined roles, such as Ginn and Austin have.
To me the choice is pretty easy for Diggs for me. I don't think many owners would be counting on any of those guys for more than a spot start, so I'd much rather have the potential of a guy who's flashing/emerging who could end up being a player that helps me win later this year.
Thanks for the input. My WRs have been terrible this year and most have been injured. With the news that Steve Smith most likely won't play this week I just dropped Austin for Diggs. All aboard!
That's a tough call.. I guess if you think LaFell will return to the same amount of Targets as last season you'd have to pick him up, I'm not so sure about that with the emergence of Dion and also Gronk/Edelman he is likely the the 4th or 5th option in the passing game. I'm not confident in that though.
No..no.
I like to be a week ahead. I think it's pretty clear he is starting this week and if he gets 10 targets or so I don't think he'll be free next week.
i"I think it's pretty clear he is starting this week"
Sorry I do not know for sure.
I'm not so sure about this, MIA has much more talent in the passing game.
I agree with this. Being a week ahead helps with FA budgeting... The difference between $2 and $15-20 if he has a breakout
Especially in yahoo and leagues where you are allowed to drop players after their games. I always hold out for one of the late game kickers or do not add one at all if I'm safely beating opponents by end of 7:00am games.
That's fine in redraft but in dynasty you usually have to jump quickly or somebody else will.
I will second this. Lot of intriguing names on the waiver wire this past week. Diggs by far was the lowest rated for week 6. But if you set your waiver priority according to redraft rankings you miss out on potential studs. Upside for me is much better than getting the best bye week filler.
This is essentially how it broke down last week, as Teddy attempted 26 passes but the sample size is so tiny. I wasn't referencing targets though, I'm more concerned with how much he'll actually see the field which is why I compared it to the MIA situation (at one point 5 different MIA WRs saw 50%+ offense snaps). Zimmer did say he'd go into this week's game with all 6 WRs active if they're all healthy. Keep in mind, Diggs did see 10 targets on 56% of MIN's offensive snaps in week 4 but I'm not sure that's sustainable plus we don't know how this situation shakes out when everyone is healthy.
Yep. Lol. Exact same thing here. Dropped Bradshaw for him and going with my gut and starting him over hillman, r. Matthews, and ginn
Same scenario here ssnd. Flip flopping. Bryant and Vick seem to have a rapport. Diggs going up the worst pass d in football. Vikes will only pass heavily if they are behind though. What are the chances that the game script goes that way vs kc today? If it's a tight game I see a lot of Peterson and I can envisions diggs going like 5-50.
