How do you use the Weekly Upgrades, Downgrades, and Waiver Wire Wonder (1 Viewer)

Now that the Weekly Upgrades, Downgrades, and Waiver Wire Wonders no longer are priortized in any fashion and the Waiver Wire Gems notation is not used any more, how do you use the Mon/Tue reports to get any earlier jump on waiver pick ups?

I have two leagues that waivers are always available but have a difficult time now quantifying the value now they're just listed alphabetically. I'm at the point that I end up waiting for the Top 250 Forward & LineUp Dominator to come out late Tue potentially missing some opportunities.

Here's a current situation (with last position ranks):

Available WW: N. Washington TEN (39)

Roster (partial): S. Moss WAS (25), P. Harvin MIN (28), N. Burleson DET (27), L. Moore NO (29)

Potential drop: RB#5 M. Lynch SEA (38)

The write up basically says NWash is an upgrade to WR3/flex, same as LMoore. Actually LMoore was already last week. With no report on my other WRs, that pretty much puts all of them between WR25-30 something (all WR#3). It really doesn't clarify anything for me.

Am I missing something? Just really hate sitting and waiting for another 12+ hours for something more quantifiable. (I can't help it, I'm a numbers kinda guy.) :confused:

just use the waldman waiver report. pretty much takes the thought and research out of it for me.
I took another look at The Waiver Report. You're right, it pretty much makes the Weekly Upgrades, Downgrades, and Waiver Wire Wonders practically moot. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. Maybe I'm getting too set in my ways. :thumbup: Thanks.Oh by the way, somebody already snatched up Washington.
 
Lot of duplication with these. Even the one that is listed as updated, I can never tell the difference as to why it is listed as updated.

Its updated to specifically include players in MNF game, as well as any injury clarifications that may be relevant
 
I never really liked the Upgrade/downgrade/steady thing...it seems like anyone who had a good game was upgraded. Guys who had a bad game were downgraded. And studs who had a bad game were hold steady.

The writeups helped...but the list was always pretty predictable.

If you're really tuned into football, you could have written the list yourself. Consider the subscribers that aren't complete fantasy junkies. They benefit from someone spelling out the ramifications of each Sunday's play for them player by player. You won't find too many of them in the forums, I suppose. But they probably get a lot out of the up/down/steady article.
