Make your call now, whos the hottest WW pickup going to be?

I'm just pissed because I missed our league waivers to pick up M.Colsten, my pick for hottest WW pickup. :banned: :banned:

 
Cedric Cobbs, but only beacuse Shanny will announce him starter for one game before eventually cutting him.

 
For those that don't know about Greg Jennings, Greg Jennings.
He will be the biggest although he shouldn't be out there. I stole him in the 2nd round of our dynasty draft. http://www.madison.com/wsj/home/sports/ind...33&ntpid=1#

"I can't say I've been surprised by anything I've done. I expect what I'm doing out here. I expect more than what I'm doing out here," said Jennings, who had an 89-yard catch against the Titans, an 85-yard touchdown against Atlanta Aug. 19 and a 47-yard catch against San Diego Aug. 12. "It's just my nature, I guess. I expect to make an impact. I'm not going to have a ridiculous, great game every Sunday, but I plan on having a lot of 'em."

Harris, the Packers' top cornerback, is expecting that.

"I think Jennings will emerge as a No. 1 receiver if not this year, next year," Harris said after practice. "The dude is real smooth. Real smooth. Sometimes I have a hard time getting my hands on him. Seriously, that's saying something."•

Rookie rarity Still, history suggests it won't be easy for the 5-foot-11, 198-pound Jennings to have a major impact as a rookie. Only five of the 546 wide receivers drafted from 1990 through 2005 have had 1,000-yard seasons as rookies: Joey Galloway (1995), Terry Glenn (1996), Randy Moss (1998), Anquan Boldin (2003) and Michael Clayton (2004).

But if anyone can do it, Robinson said, it's Jennings, whose football IQ is so high he's learned all three receiver positions - X (flanker), Z (split end) and zebra (slot receiver) - already.

"His maturity, his poise - it doesn't seem like anything really fazes him," said Robinson, a 17-year NFL coaching veteran who tutored Indianapolis' six-time Pro Bowl receiver Marvin Harrison as a rookie in 1996, when Harrison started 15 games and had 836 yards and eight TDs.

"I think he's certainly capable of (1,000 yards). In my mind, he seems to be capable of doing just about anything given the opportunity. He's a unique guy."

 
Should most of these guys be on waivers in any good-sized league? Colston, yes; Welker, yes. Batch, yes. Other than that... :unsure:

I'm in a 14-team league w/ 15-man rosters, and you can only carry 4 RBs.Colston=not availableWelker=availableMusa=available ... :yes:
 
On ESPN's fantasy show yesterday, I was shocked that fewer than 30% of leagues have Chris Simms and Wali Lundy on rosters. That's terrible.

First Draft? Theres a few things you'll want to know.Kickers go fast, you'll want to take one early. Oh and dont worry about running backs, you can trade for one later. Oh and one more thing. Manning retired. Both of them. Its good to have you here. Youre my friend
thanks for the info. :thumbup:

That guy is like a genius dude :nerd:
 
J P Losman.

The Patriots' secondary hasn't been great since Law departed. QBs improve so much between their first and second year as the starter. Lee Evans is a threat every time he touches the ball.

I can see Losman finishing in the 12-15 range this year, and higher in the future. His scrambling ability wasn't seen much in the preseason, but he could be good for 300 yards rushing now that the games that matter have arrived. Price is finally back in a familiar situation as the WR2.

 
This post is pointless.

We normally see these during or after the games are played. If I knew who the hot waiver wire pickup was BEFORE week 1 then he'd already be on my roster. :rolleyes:

Could be at least partly a depth issue. There are a lot of 8 and 10 team leagues on ESPN. Simms, but not Lundy, is available in my ten teamer, which is run on ESPN.
