Anyone dropping Meachem? Big disappointment so far. Who would you drop him for..likes of Hester or even Cribbs?

He would be droppable if he wasn't already dropped from my team.

I don't blame anyone for dropping Meachem, he's been dropped in a couple leagues I'm in....
....but: he has had Brees miss him when wide open deep in all three games.
Brees has been nearly perfect so far this year (sans those 2 lousey INT's vs ATL) but that Meach has missed on the big plays so far this year has not been his fault. With Bush out, PT dinged, a much softer schedule forthcoming, and if Henderson keeps dropping balls, it would not surprise me if he pops back up on everyone's radar screen.
I sure hope today is a get-better game for everybody, would not surprise me if today was the day it happens.

Dropped him after week 2 for Mark Clayton.

Heh....wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Wouldn't surprise me if those were his year end totals either. Frustrating player for sure.
He will have two games like that. But catching them is a crap shot. I think I would rather have a guy I know is going to get 7-8 targets every week and put up points. Oh the joys of owning NO players outside of Brees.

Yeah, I owned Colston last year, so I know... And I'm starting Moore this week (on my bench last week), pretty much expecting a 2/24/0 line.

Yes, and he's on pratcice squad now.But Saints WR's are not sporadic because they are not capable; they are sporadic because they're gamplanned in and out from week to week.

Yes. And NO resigned him to the practice squad.
Sorry but I feel like this is a lame excuse.They have their fair share of home-run hitters and Payton sure does like to go for the jugular at times which, if it fails, could limit their productivity, but asking a starting WR to grab 3-4 balls a game is hardly asking much of a player.Target data shows some fluctuations for sure, but there's matchups for every team every week that they try and exploit.

I was surprised to see Meachem get dropped in my main dynasty league last week and am trying to decide whether or not to blow a high priority on him after he showed some signs of life this past weekend. Anyone still high on this kid or is he not worth the inevitable frustration even in dynasty?
I think he makes a good #4 WR or bye week fill in. With upside to be a WR 3.

Is Meachem "pickupable" again?

I had both Lance Moore and Meachem on my team this week, but wanted to drop one to pick up Seattle Mike Williams. I chose to stick with Meachem, I think he is on the upswing. Has been improving over the past couple of weeks. Lance Moore is more tenous and I think it will go down more once Bush gets back. So I think he is "pickupable" again.
