Week 5 has been brutal especially for the WR - who are the players everyone has their eyes on ?

I have Morris and Elliott and I'm not going to make a big stink about it but it looks like Morris is the back to have.Robbie Anderson, Marvin Jones, Ricardo Louis or Marquise Goodwin might be available in a lot of leagues. Alfred Morris and DMC need to be high priority lottery tickets with an upcoming court decision. Also Matt Breida for RB's,
Why Morris? People seem to think the reason they chose Morris was because DMC has a similar skill set to Elliot. Do you not believe that anymore?I have Morris and Elliott and I'm not going to make a big stink about it but it looks like Morris is the back to have.
Just usage. Morris isn't a change of pace back. He's a pounder. I don't know. I could be wrong, but I'm looking at how they use him and thinking he's next man up.Why Morris?

I think McFadden is the better catcher, but Morris the better straight ahead runner. If Elliott's suspension starts, maybe McFadden would be the third down back (and 2 minute drill back), and Morris would handle the rest. I'm just guessing.Why Morris?

If DMC were the better catcher chances are they would have had activated him and held Morris out this season.I think McFadden is the better catcher, but Morris the better straight ahead runner.

I like Griffen instead as browns can't cover TEsDavid Njoku perhaps, for those like me that have Graham on bye next week. Maybe he's not on all wires, but seems to be on mine and has some upside. The match up doesn't look nice though @HOU
Darren Fells had 4 receptions for the Lions in week 4, and two receptions, 2Tds this week. Not sure if it's enough to call it a pattern but interesting none the less. Most likely a free grab after waivers run if neededI like Griffen instead as browns can't cover TEs
I could see this too. I don't see what other options they have left. What's interesting is, I've seen no news on Marshall.Victor Cruz. Yeah, seriously. Giants would be wise to give fans something to tune in for through the end of the year. One more salsa dance will keep us happy until we draft Darnold next spring.
sheesh, little off topic but just looked at the box score and Brown had 19 targets. wondering if juJu will get any kind of oppourtunity, outside of a game like today with 2 top CBsJuJu has posted better numbers than Martavius the last couple IIRC.
Ebron keeps dropping the ball and the Lions may finally be sick of that.Darren Fells had 4 receptions for the Lions in week 4, and two receptions, 2Tds this week. Not sure if it's enough to call it a pattern but interesting none the less. Most likely a free grab after waivers run if needed
Nah. I'm holding him as a handcuff and I'm sure he'd be the hottest pick up if anything happened to Hunt.Charcandrick West?
Agreed - it would be VERY tough to actually play him, but it's starting to feel like he would be the very definition of winning the lottery if Hunt ever gets hurt...Nah. I'm holding him as a handcuff and I'm sure he'd be the hottest pick up if anything happened to Hunt.
Breida looked like he won the starting job this week - he'll likely be the most expensive in our league FA auction.
That's right. Had to start him this weekNot a sexy pick-up but Smith-Schuster seems to have really good hands.
I read he had 5 catches on the final game tying drive so seems kind of flukeyKittle seems like he's getting more involved in the offense - could be a fill-in for Kelce owners if the concussion keeps him out.
Fair enough, but 9 targets on the game which is at least monitoring.I read he had 5 catches on the final game tying drive so seems kind of flukey
Ebron is due $8.2M next year. He’s def going to be cut before the league year starts in March, it might make more sense to trade him now for a 5th or 6th round pick. Rookie Michael Roberts (16 TDs @ Toledo last year) is promising, Fells is a great athlete & the best blocking TE. He’s outsnapped Ebron 3 out of 5 games.Ebron keeps dropping the ball and the Lions may finally be sick of that.Darren Fells had 4 receptions for the Lions in week 4, and two receptions, 2Tds this week.

Thus Fells.
Owned JJ until had to drop him this week. Had been thinking Jaron Brown next week to cover AJ Green since he is also still on wire. Hard to decide who out of all of them tbh, but agree TB is a good match up on paper for deep threat NelsonJJ Nelson
Hear me out, I know people will dismiss this since he was the hot add 3 weeks ago & one of the most dropped players in FF last week, plus it feels like you’ve got 3 ARI of roughly the same value. But look at his last 10:
2/1-42-1 11.2
2/1-8-1 7.8
11/5-38-1 14.8
7/3-132-1 22.2
12/-4-75 11.5
6/5-43-1 15.3
7/5-120-1 23.0 (injuried)
3/0-0-0 0.0
4/3-34-0 6.4
6/4-80-0 12.0
The only two games he wasn’t productive were the two weeks he was limited in practice & his snap counts were down. When he is healthy he produces. Currently WR24 in our format. Going up against a TB team that gives up the most FF points to WR week 6, good bye week filler Baldwin, AJ, or Dez owners.
Good list.Funchess. Breida. Mack. JuJu. Are amongst the names I’m looking at.
I missed McGuire & McKissic.
Ill be looking ahead at Bye weeks to CMA.
Vodka? err mebbe not.I wish people knew what the word absolute means. Literally.
What do you think of Roberts vs Fells long term? Who is more likely to be the receiving TE?Ebron is due $8.2M next year.

I don’t expect much from Roberts this year but I do think they’re going to move on from Ebron sooner rather than later. 12/23 is an atrocious catch rate for a TE, he’s a lousy blocker, and just flat out gives up on plays sometimes. He might be out of the league in two years.What do you think of Roberts vs Fells long term? Who is more likely to be the receiving TE?
I understand that Roberts is a rookie so it is Fells right now. Just curious who you think will be that guy in the long run?
They did go to Ebron in the end zone yesterday but he dropped it. Was this the last straw for the Lions and him?
I missed the second half of the game so I didn't see the Fells TDs.
In the previous game against the Vikings they were going to Fells on TE screens that were pretty effective.
Forget about Detroit players, Caldwell has no intention of playing offense until the other team has a 10+ point lead going into the 4th Q.What do you think of Roberts vs Fells long term? Who is more likely to be the receiving TE?
