Sorry. I just figured it would help Olsen owners this week when he puts up a 0 understand why that happened. I'm not trying to kill every TE on my roster. It's just working out that way.Some things are better left unsaid and kept to yourself

The guys I like the best going forward at this point are:Greg OlsenZach MillerDustin KellerIf all of those guys are gone and you're just looking for someone to help you out this week maybe someone like Visante Shiancoe would be worth a try. He scored again in Week 5 and the Vikings get the Lions this week.I'm stuck w/LJ Smith who followed VD......it is HORRIBLE. Who is a TE Sleeper?Sorry.

The only one available is Keller.....you like him better than LJ?Fasano won't get to me through waivers. Heap is available and should be playing from behind @ IND. Carlson available though I don't understand all the hype.The guys I like the best going forward at this point are:Greg OlsenZach MillerDustin KellerIf all of those guys are gone and you're just looking for someone to help you out this week maybe someone like Visante Shiancoe would be worth a try.

Yup. I think he has more upside. Favre has made a career out of turning TEs to gold. He loves throwing to his TE in the Red Zone. I don't know if Keller will be huge for receptions on a weekly basis, but he should get a decent number of TDs the rest of the way.The only one available is Keller.....you like him better than LJ?The guys I like the best going forward at this point are:Greg OlsenZach MillerDustin KellerIf all of those guys are gone and you're just looking for someone to help you out this week maybe someone like Visante Shiancoe would be worth a try.

Nate Jackson...looks like Scheffler will miss at least the next week and Jackson almost took Scheffler's job in the offseason. Dude has skills. And with Eddie Royal looking like he will miss time also, the TE position will probably see more targets. The perfect storm.I'm stuck w/LJ Smith who followed VD......it is HORRIBLE.

A couple quick comments:
Re: Eddie Royal. Darrell Jackson will start in his place, not Stokley. Jackson replaced Royal for one play in week 1 and he caught a 48-yard TD pass. Call that lucky. This week, Jackson should have a solid matchup and be useful like Domenik Hixon if you're strictly looking for a short-term, plug and play option for this week only.
Re: Matt Jones and Mike Walker. Walker was coming on strong and seemed to be taking over as the "go to" receiver in the Jags offense.. at least as much as there ever is one in that offense. Problem is, he also strained his MCL at some point in last week's game. He has yet to have an MRI, but I would temper any enthusiasm for Walker until we know the extent of his sprained knee.

LOL, Jones may have potential but he is currently a scrub

From what I understand (via a post in the Walker thread), he has had an MRI and it came back clean.

First Calvin and now Colston was dropped in one league.I'm not going to use that tired, annoying line "can I play in your league", but seriously....
Krewe
Footballguy
Yeah, no S###!And being dropped from a longtime owner who is 4-1.??!!?? wtf? But--we are in Michigan, and Lions fans can only take so much, right? waitaminute...that's not true....we'll keep taking it BECAUSE we're Lions fans.

I was stunned. Rookie owner in a competitive, long running $200 league. That's why I'll prolly have to blow my budget.ETA: This thread encouraged me to look at the recent drops in all my leagues at a little more depth. Turns out DeAngelo Williams was dropped in another league. My waiver position is 8th though, so I don't expect him to fall to me.

The Megatron thing shocked me today, sure...however, before you start thinking this is some Yahoo league,We have very shallow rosters with low positional roster limits. Not my idea but the 14-year league always votes to keep it.Two owners are sportswriters, one of them NFL beat. Three more are sportscasters and pretty sharp with their teams.I'd want to play in the league if I were you, too. But don't be so sure about being a shark amongst guppies.just sayin'

One blurb was from RotoWorld quoting the Orlando Sentinel and here's another:The MRI results for WR Mike Walker showed he has a sprained knee rather than a torn MCL. Walker hopes to play this Sunday, after the second-year receiver's best game to date, hauling in six passes for 107 yards against the Steelers.

I hear you - in many cases, these drops tend to be among leagues with few teams and/or very small rosters. But, still, I can't imagine any league but with the smallest of rosters where either Calvin Johnson or Colston should be dropped.

I agree 100%. That said, the Lions QB situation is really up-in-the-air, and ain't a one of us in this hobby that hasnt done something rash at some point, right?I am just glad I have #1 slot for late week pickup

Didn't the Saints D have a few injuries Monday. I know Porter is done. Someone else might be out too.

Rams got a new coach, Bulger's back in the saddle, coming off a bye week, rejuvenated. This has trap game written all over it.

Nice call, I'll hitch on to that wagon. ESPN reporting he might also have a sports hernia.Nate Jackson...looks like Scheffler will miss at least the next week and Jackson almost took Scheffler's job in the offseason. Dude has skills.

Not sure about the future weeks after 6 &7 but 6&7 your regrett it. 7 is the bye week and 6 is:Jaguars | M. Walker could have sprained MCLTue, 7 Oct 2008 17:17:23 -0700Shannon J. Owens, of the Orlando Sentinel, reports Jacksonville Jaguars WR Mike Walker (knee) suffered a knee injury in Week 5, which could be a sprained medial collateral ligament, but he has not received an MRI test yet.

In our setup I can "hide" him on our practice squad if he's never in my lineup.

I always like to read this kind of thread..Waiver Wire, Who are you targeting?
But most are already taken in my 12 owner leagues.
Just Brandon Stokley/Darrell Jackson is on most of my leagues WW..but its only worth while for a game or two (Royal hurt). And Denver TE's same boat Nate Jackson and D. Graham.
Best WW pickup saw so far if you need a QB. or even trade bait is Orton on all of my leagues WW other then that not many on my four leagues (redrafts).

Yeah, I'm in an 8 teamer, a league that was 12 and almost broke up completely. It's not as much fun. I've got 6 RB, all of which would be likely starters in my 12 teamer.End :XYou need more friends.
