Hockenson could be a beast in a league with few beast TEs. Huge advantage there if you grab him.

Didn't the Raven's Brown only play like 12 snaps?

One of the challenges is not over reacting Week 1 but at the same time you might only get one swipe to grab one of a couple players that could provide immediate help.
As an aside, DeSean Jackson was available in like 1:4 leagues this week.
I wouldn't sleep on Hollywood but I also would not expect big things weekly, Lamar Jackson did his damage between the numbers, let's see what a real defense offers up as resistance next week. I want to see that guy throw up the sidelines before we anoint him as the new Top 5 QB Club Member.
I would also encourage owners to check what players rode the bench on rosters this week, easier to try and trade for them IMO.

Yeah, that was me. And I drafted because I wasn't sold on Guice. Picked up CJA instead (wasn't sold Washington defense/OL). Hmmm.
That said, I'm eyeballing AJ Brown instead of anyone else (and hard NO on Devante Parker) OR I'll just save my #1 priority for next week. Have Dante Pettis, Anthony Miller, Keke, and MVS as my WRs-in-waiting.
For RBs, Malcolm Brown and Gio are available so I might stash one them as my RB lotto pick (along with CJA). Malcolm looked good running the ball yesterday and I think that Gurley will be rested and/or miss a game or two with that arthritic knee of his.

He only ran eight routes he would need a rise in the area (redraft) for me to put him heads and shoulders over a few other WR/TEs I’m looking at for Week 1.

How much do you bid on these guys. Assuming a $1000 (that's the normal amount right?), ya know what just give me a % of bid dollars.
John Brown - Not as youthful as others, seems to be Josh Allen's preferred target, lots of shootouts or negative gamescripts
John Ross - Youth on his side, in an offense way better suited. Actually played meaningful snaps unlike Marquise Brown, AND he balled out
Marquise Brown - Didn't play as many snaps as you'd like to see, could be the secret weapon to unlocking Lamar though in the future
Keelan Doss - You want the youth side in dynasty at least, could be a huge beneficiary with no AB
Deon Cain - No Funchess anymore, Brissett isn't nearly as bad as people want to believe, still going to be #3 or #4 in the read though most of the time
These seem like the priority add's in deep dynasty leagues. They're the most meaningful names in a lot of my leagues considering I don't do re-draft.

i have the 1st waiver claim and deciding between hockenson and hollywood brown. The reason i am leaning hockenson is due to the fact the waiver wire is dreck for tight ends. My starter is Ertz. There are a ton of wr's available on the wire ( john brown, ross, aj brown, metcalf, chark, cain, keesean johnson, crowder, mclaurin etc) thus why i am leaning hockenson and i can grab a wr once waivers clear, since are waivers roll over once you make a claim.

Are you me?
Exact same situation (and I'm a birds fan!) except I have OJ Howard at TE. I could use some WR help behind Julio and Diggs, but Hockenson has the look of an every week starter.
Hard to see Hollywood being consistent, but my god what if?

This is my thought too.
I have Ertz but can Flex TE so Hockenson gives me real options. Also keeps a potential league winner off another team.
I just lost Tyreek though so my WR2 Hilton becomes my WR1 and we have shallow benches so my bench stash Gallup now ascends to the starting role.
I feel like I have to grab a WR but am so unsure who I’d like to snag and not sure it’s worth the waiver.
Hollywood Brown has the flash.
Ross feels small to me and caught a break not getting his second td intercepted.
Tyrell Williams is available and seems to be a true number 1. He’s where my head is leaning at right now.
Chark looks the part of the prototypical WR but there’s a lot of questions on that team.
I know this happens every year but it’s tough to figure out who the flash in the pan is.

Well then you have an equal chance at all the FAs your league mates dobarackdhouse said:

Darren Sproles played a lot of the game for the Eagles.

If dynasty, another way to look at it is that if you run waivers without blind bidding and have it based on record / points scored, the worst teams in your league can improve easier.Well then you have an equal chance at all the FAs your league mates do

Local theory is that this was because they know what they have in Sproles and what he'll do, while the other two are new and one a rookie. So expectations are for his usage to decline.
Julio is also 1 of my 2 wr also. Is your waiver wire stacked with wr?
I absolutely agree with you about hockenson having the every week starter look which is very appealing to me considering Patricia drafted him.
I agree with you about hollywood brown and being reliable, that's my hold up because we just dont know about the ravens offense will look against a defense and brown only played 12% of the snaps granted the score dictated that. But man hollywood had another level.
What direction you going?

Trying to to find guys who won't cost anything now but might break out next few weeks instead; you could say a pre-emptive strike.
What's the deal with Damiere Byrd for the Cardinals? No highlights or anything, but he played most of the game for them, more than the darling KeeSean.
Hardman filled in mostly for when child abuse guy got hurt, but also saw a lot of snaps just from 3 wide sets. He could maintain value even when Hill returns.
That's all I've got.

Agree with you I could use hockenson in the flex also. I am with you hockenson is a top 10 tight end
I would go with williams also since you just lost hill for 6 to 8 weeks. Williams will be your every week starter. You cant beat that even if it takes you out of the running for hockenson

This is my 21st year playing fantasy and I don't remember this many possible pickups after week 1. Sure there's going to be some Frisman Jackson's in there, but man this is crazy.
All available in my redraft league...Malcolm Brown, Hyde, R. Jones and AP or C. Thompson
J. Brown, M. Brown, Ross, AJ Brown, McLaurin
Amendola, DK, Ginn, the new KeeSean and the Jax receivers, but I'm not sure about them. 13 targets is a ton though.
Oh and Hockenson

At the moment, Hockenson but I'm gonna keep looking at it. Seems like so many possible outcomes for Hollywood. They won't be playing Miami every week.
There are a bunch of other WRs available on the wire like Terry, Ross, Ammendola but I assume they'll be gone if I grab Hock.

I dropped Ross early this offseason pretty much so I could pick up Mclaurin. I guess that's a wash, right? I don't feel like being the one blowing my FABB budget on Ross
