So your season is not working out for you to be competitive... what are some WW/FA moves you could be looking at for next year as we head to the halfway point of the NFL season.
My views are based on a 12 Team PPR 1 QB Dynasty with 25 Roster Spots / 2 IR spots / No Devy allocations
Not in any particular order / just listing them as I think of them...not listing any Rookies as they all take time to get acclimated.
1) Van Jefferson - talent in a high passing offense with Stafford & McVay making this work. Problem is he is #3 on the team behind Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods are clearly #1 & #2 in the target/pecking order, but if either depart for whatever reason, Van gets a big bump in value/looks. FA waiver investment? I say worth 5% of the budget.
2) Josh Reynolds - went from LAR to Tenn, injured before season starts so Tenn picked up Julio Jones, but I wonder if Josh did not get injured, would Julio be in Tenn?? Tenn clearly needs a WR3 as the TE position is not evolving into a production position. When players like Westbrook-Ikhine are getting 15 targets over a 3 game span, and only producing 109 yards, WR3 upgrade is needed. Reynolds & Tanny worked well in camp without Julio around. I think this could return in the next few weeks are Josh is now fully recovered from injury & illness both.
3) MyCole Pruit - another Tenn player, but with Firsker doing nothing with his starts (11 rec-15 targets for 95 yards / no different from Westbrook-Ikhine level of play) Pruit has 8 rec/10 targets for 105 yards shows more playmaking with less opportunity. Tenn might want to give Hercules Henry a few games without 25+ touches to extend his long/playoff season and allow Tannehill more passing games. Will Pruit continue to produce with few touches? Who knows. Tenn needs another pass catcher to challenge the tough Def like Buffalo. Worth a small risk IMO.
4) Derrius Guice - will he get any looks to sign? Who knows. Is it worth the PR headaches? For a playoff caliber team, maybe for a short term usage. As a cheap roster hold for future potential, I think he is worth a look as the injuries continue to decimate the RB core of teams (like Balt, NYG, SF, Phil & Clev). FA $ spent - minimal only
5) Deonte Harris - Will Michael Thomas come back to play in NOS? Harris was getting targets prior to injury (15 in 1st 4 games). Now that Winston has taken hold of the QB slot, Harris could emerge as the clear WR1. With the only limitation on Winston's Long Ball Short Leash, Harris is getting opportunities that could emerge as a decent flex spot. FA/WW $ - 5% in most formats.
Feel free to add / support / discuss options. I did not want this as part of the Dynasty Value Discussion as it could be specific for players for future value / minimal risk now if your season is tanked!
