I was reflecting on my adds/drops so far this season and I noticed a pretty big flaw in my strategy. Most notably, I dropped slaton prior to week 1 for maurice morris when basing the decision on their opening schedules. I was hoping to get a general idea from the board about the way they approach the WW. Here's the scenario:
Player A goes off for 20 or so points against a bad defense. In the upcoming weeks, player A faces stiffer competition or the threat of less playing time.
Player B scores an average # of points against a good defense, and plays weaker competition or shows a sign of increased playing time
Obviously you'd like to know more, but without any additional info, who would you go for? Or should I say, is there one type of player that you tend toward?
I go for player B every time. I almost never chase points and always try to predict what's going to happen next, whos going to be the next short term surprise. I feel I've done a decent job of it - but like I said, it always seems to be a short term player. Meanwhile, I've ignored player A types that turned into full fledged studs all year.
There is an owner of my league who goes for player A every time. In recent years he's landed michael clayton (when he was good), marques colston (when he was a te), and earnest graham. He got each of them the week after their first BIG game. He, of course, landed slaton right after the Tenn game. He's certainly had some luck with waiver priority - but putting that aside, does anyone think that this might be a superior general strategy?
