David Cobb a good pickup? Just lost Foster.

I added him this week. I don't think he is a good pick-up, but is certainly worth a look if you need RB help. The unknown is better than the known trash floating out there on most WWs.

I know it makes sense to grab David Cobb, but I'm staying away. I'm starting to think Whiz would rather have a different RB on every play.
He's gone in all my leagues, but in smaller/shorter bench leagues, Danny Amendola is worth a roster spot.

Starter on the waiver wire, If he stinks so be it, but i'd rather have him than a one week wonder.

Thing is he wasn't really a starter. One game with over 10 carries (out of 4 that Foster missed). He will only be useful if it's a game HOU can get an early lead and try to sit on it. I would rather wait to see who Hou adds as a FA.

McFadden?

Pierre Thomas (speculative add for when/if Houston signs him to a contract later this week).
Emphasis on "speculative" in the above.

It's hard to imagine a game where Houston gets a lead.

Who's the better receiving back, blue or polk? That may tell the tale

Why?
You could never start him with confidence (because, as a reminder, he sucks).
So why bother even rostering him?

Sometimes you need a guy who's getting carries even if he doesn't inspire a ton of confidence?Jack White said:

If I absolutely HAD to roster a Houston RB, I'd choose Polk. He has more talent, and he can catch passes.
Blue sucks.
That said, I would just avoid the situation completely.

Foster owners need to plug somebody in at RB. What about "The Human Cannnonball" Mike Tolbert? Looks like he is getting goal line work and he is only a Jon Stewart injury away from a more significant role. I'd be surprised if Stewart held up, but maybe some of that sentiment is my foolishness for scheming to get an injury-prone RB like Foster on my team. But obviously Artis-Payne isn't the answer, and Carolina loves to run the ball.

You still have Bryce Brown.
Also, are we forgetting about Grimes? He'll probably be in the mix.

Diggs, McFadden, and West have to be the pickups of the week in shallower/softer leagues.

If for some reason Diggs is still out there he's probably top priority considering you could probably trade him for RB help if that's what you are looking for

Washington might still be out there. Amendola looks like he is getting a lot of love in NE and owning a piece of that rock can bring some serious value. 18 targets the last two games.

Hmm, interesting about Amendola. Although they didnt even attempt to run it yesterday

I guess the gamble will be on trusting the hot hand. LeFell was playing but he dropped a number of passes. Gronk is probably getting double coverage (but will see his fair share of targets), Edelman getting a lot of respect from defenses and the running game was sluggish. Grabbed him in a 14 man league where there was little on the wire and it paid off. Going forward - who knows but he appears healthy. Brady is going to work the starters and feed the hot hand. Scary offense.

Not really that bad. Dion never had room here. McCoy made too much money and Polk was odd man out.

If Lewis is out I think Danny A. becomes a decent play again. The NE game plan is variable but the pass game seems to work on a triangle, there has to be a third corner there. With Lewis out it appears to be Amendola.
