Good luck amigos.

Need a waiver player to plug in play? Well, this is for you.

Not ranked in any particular order.

WRs

(1) M.Floyd: wow, is he boring to watching, but he puts up numbers, and indy has a terrible pass defense.

(2) H.Nicks: has anyone dropped him in your league because I probably would have if he were on any of my teams. However, this week, I'd start him, IF (big ifffff) he plays.

(3) R.Streater: check his stats and targets last week with Mcgloin. No Moore, no problem, more targets.

(4) N.Burleson: Stafford loves him some Burleson, enough said.

TEs:

Carlson: GB's pass defense sucks but so does Min's pass offense, but Carlson will still get his.

Housler: Finally, someone designed plays for the HOUSE-man. This is is make or break week.

Startable TEs: H.Miller, G.Graham but these are probably rostered.

The names aren't sexy, but we're desperate right? :)

Good luck.

I know that all leagues have different roster sizes, but Streater is the only guy available in my leagues.

All good selections except Streater (This week) . Tenn is the best against WR's this year (#1 for lowest points to WR's in fantasy) , barley giving up any yards or TD's to WR's and with no Moore , . . Streater will have double coverage all day. Again Streater this week a desperation play .TE's usually do good against TENN. Example last week Luck threw for no TD's and the top reciever was Fleener.

Burleson and Floyd good guys this week on that list. Patterson a guy who will eventually have his breakout day .

 
Andre Holmes is starting in place of Denarius Moore. David Nelson is starting in place of Stephen Hill. Greg Salas may also get some looks because of Hill's benching.

Also, is the original post a 5 team league? Where is Mike Floyd not rostered at this point?

 
Cotchery..he is on a roll with Big Ben...TD 3 weeks in a row..earlier post was right -Haden on Brown, Cotch should get his...Carlson has had 2 great weeks in a row. Ponder loves to throw to his TE and Carlson is more reliable(though not as athletic) as Rudolph. How bout Dreesen? Julius likely out, NE not good vs TE and Peyton like him in the RZ , looking back to last year's games.

 
Patterson a guy who will eventually have his breakout day .
Right, but how many 6 pt weeks are you willing to withstand before that happens?
Yeah hes only a bye week or injury replacement guy but thats more due to the QB. If he had a better QB i think he would be a better play. He is starting now and had a bunch of targets last week and has the talent but yeah its so risky due to QB.

 
Is it dumb to play Burleson first game back from injury over guys like Nicks and Bowe in PPR? Not a wdis, just saying I like the matchup, just hesitant to play him because it's his first game back. Anyone with a sense he'll catch 6-8 passes in this one or will he be eased back?

How was Vereen on his first game back?

It's only a risk because we don't know the game plan. Burleson said earlier in the week that if he played he did not want to be "limited," and that he wanted to be part of the game plan.

There's an argument for Cotchery based on his recent red zone targets, but not on him being the WR2 this week. Sanders is fine.

Agree on Streater. Good pickup for ROS, but not vs Tenn.

Burleson is fine as long as you keep your expectations in check. Guy has zero upside, but can put up decent numbers (especially in PPR).

Aldrick Robinson is at the other extreme. He occasionally seems to get loose for a long TD, but you're really gambling if you rely on steady production from him.

 
What about Josh Morgan and/or Fred Davis?

Davis will be the recieving TE since Reed is out and Morgan starting opposite Garcon. I have no idea why Davis fell out of favor in Washington, but he was top 10ish before this year.

I know Nicks hasn't done much, but I'd imagine he is only available in 10 team leagues with shallow benches. Same with Floyd.

I don't know what happened with Davis, but with Reed out I felt more comfortable picking up Housler to start.
