Players to Pick up for 2008 (1 Viewer)

[Bob Wiley]

With all of the Michael Bush talk, I was wondering what you guys think are some players to pick up in dynasty leagues for 2008. I just picked up Sidney Rice in my dynasty league. Whatcha got?

He was rostered for a few weeks, but was on waivers for the past couple of weeks.

 

[Bob Henry]

I suppose Chad Jackson is worth a look.

Doesn't he need a QB to throw him the ball?

How many years are people going to wait for this guy to be healthy next year?

I'm a big fan of picking up Bush and stashing him away in my dynasty league. My keepers right now are Palmer, Ch. Johnson, R. Moss, and M. Lynch. I might just hold Bush and trade him for an 08 draft pick if his momentum picks up over the summer.

Definitely. But I would be shocked if the any of the current Viking QBs is the starting Viking QB next year.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Mewelde Moore

T.J. Duckett

Kevin Kolb (doubt he is on waiver)

Chad Jackson (as Bob mentioned above)

Tyson Thompson

Tatum Bell (if dropped)

 

[benm3218]

who would you rather have though, Kolb or Leinert? They are both on my waivers believe it or not....

 

[ClownDogs]

Maybe Bryant Johnson is on waivers if it is a shallow roster league? He is scheduled to be a free agent and could produce if given a chance.

 

[Gerg73]

If you want to take a HUGE LONG SHOT, sign up Jerome Harrison from the Browns. He had more Carries than Jason Wright last week and has looked great with the ball in his hands. With Jamal Lewis being on a 1 year Contract and Wright being nothing more than a Stop-gap, I think the Browns might give Harrison more touches to see if maybe he could be "The Guy" in 2008. They need to figure out if they need to try to resign Jamal or look in the Draft or FA for a RB. Harrison being the guy would help the team throw all Draft pickas and FA Dollars at the Defense, which needs it BADLY.

 

[BuckCherry]

Drew Henson, QB, taking over the reins from Kitna?, if he rehabs ok.

Jamarus Russell, QB, #1 overall pick gonna get the keys to the car for sure, but I'm sure he's rostered!

 

[JPeso]

Drew Stanton.

good list, spud. The one thing these lists do not include is guys that play enough/well enough to opt out of their contract like Julius Jones. Jones will be a UFA next offseason. This is why I would recommend Tyson Thompson. He has played decent. The only hangup would be if the Cowboys draft a back.

He's RFA, so you'd recommend his as a Cowboy behind MBIII? Think he'd share carries the way JJ has, or have a reduced role?

It does not matter to me what the roles would be. Getting part of the committee off of the waiver would be all I could ask for. But, Thompson has looked good and improved from last season to this season.

MB3 is a RFA to be, Julius a UFA. There have been quite a few threads on the issue.

Sorry, between typos and using 'He's' instead of a name, I wasn't clear. I was referring to Thompson being RFA.I"ve picked up a turnaround project team and am selling off old talent and looking to next year. Maybe Thompson would be worth adding to the end of the bench.

I like Ryan Fitzpatrick. The restricted part is likely a real minimal return value for the Bengals-late pick(right?) and very little playing time for his career.

With the Rams, I thought he looked like a talented young QB a team should try and develop, really looked promising. I'm still surprised he's not a Lion reunited with Martz and all.

Andre Davis better re-sign with the Texans. He went from Cleveland to journeyman nobody type player to Houston, if he knows what's good for him.....I feel that way about a few names on that list.

Kris Wilson is a talented TE/FB. I think his FB time has even made him a better blocker. He could beat out some starting TEs I'd bet.

Ward will be the guy I'd bet.

I'm not one to drink the Koolaid about Ben Troupe but I could imagine him being signed (like Visanthe) and being decent trade bait after that.

Yes he has. Thanks my friend.

The thing about Thompson is his speed. This Michael Bennett or possibly Robert Smith-type of speed. The rumors of the Cowboys drafting McFadden is the major flaw for Thompson. Also, Thompson would be very cheap to extend compared to Julius.

How about his vision? and lateral moves? There's been plenty of incorrectly praised backs (and WRs)that were "just fast" over the years

Hey Bri, in my honest opinion, I do not think the sample size is large enough. Preseason games and a few garbage carries are difficult to judge fully. But, when he runs, he looks smooth and is a name most do not recognize. This is why I thought he might be an option in deep leagues for a guy with upside.

Mike Walker Jax- Put on IR this year, has talent and someone must emerge from that WR wasteland in Jacksonville.

There could be a coaching change, a quarterback change, and some of the current receivers released. But, Walker looked good in preseason. The issue is that he blew out his knee in college and was still recovering. He has loads of talent and could reward a patient owner.

It's becoming unlikely when the Browns continue to win games.

Bryant Johnson. I think he starts as a WR#1 for another team next year.

 

[JPeso]

Bryant Johnson. I think he starts as a WR#1 for another team next year.

Just curious as to what teams you think he would be the WR1 on.

 

[zamboni]

Bryant Johnson. I think he starts as a WR#1 for another team next year.

Despite Johnson some skills, I don't see how a team brings a guy that gets little playing time (albeit behind two of the best WRs in the league) to be their #1 guy. Maybe he eventually wins that role somewhere, but I highly doubt he initally gets #1 type money or expectations.

 

[TheGreatest]

Bryant Johnson. I think he starts as a WR#1 for another team next year.

Just curious as to what teams you think he would be the WR1 on.

Dolphins, Ravens, Jaguars, Titans, Vikings, Falcons, & 49ers all come to mind as teams he could have a legitimate shot at being a #1 on.

 

[Bob Henry]

On the list of FAs at the end of the year, I believe Kyle Boller re-upped with the Ravens for an extension. Not that he gets anyone overly excited or anything.

 

[Bob Henry]

Just conjecture, but with D.J. Hackett a UFA, Ben Obomanu may be a reach.. Bobby Engram seems to be ageless, so he could easily return in the slot, then Obomanu would be competing with Nate Burleson for playing time (and anyone else they draft or sign).

 

[Psychopav]

In a "rebuilding" year.

Just to add a minor point or two:

-Alstott's on the list - didn't he retire?

-Grossman - if history is any indication he's due for some success after he leaves Chicago (a la Doug Flutie or Jim Harbaugh). Then again when you consider Cade Mc and Shane...never mind...I do believe though that Chicago as a city is VERY critical where QB's are concerned. Could be Grossman's irreparably broken but there's a chance that he goes somewhere and gets coached back to life.

-Someone in my dynasty league recently speculated about re-rostering Ricky Williams. Obviously not for this year...

 

[Raiders Fan]

I'm a big fan of picking up Bush and stashing him away in my dynasty league. My keepers right now are Palmer, Ch. Johnson, R. Moss, and M. Lynch. I might just hold Bush and trade him for an 08 draft pick if his momentum picks up over the summer.

did that already in 1 league. same plan or to keep him and trade a name rb. might get me more..

 

[AtomicDogg97]

What about Laurent Robinson?

There could be a coaching change, a quarterback change, and some of the current receivers released. But, Walker looked good in preseason. The issue is that he blew out his knee in college and was still recovering. He has loads of talent and could reward a patient owner.

I would figure Walker and Broussard (who beat Walker out for last spot)could be viable candidates next year. I also plan on Matt Jones playing somewhere else.I don't think Broussard or Walker is someone you nec "sit on" all offseason though but instead maybe wait for any of Wilford, Jones, or Williams to be moved. Without the moves, you're picking up a 4th or 5th WRSteve Smith GMen might have been dropped in some leagues due to his injury.

Dolphins, Ravens, Jaguars, Titans, Vikings, Falcons, & 49ers all come to mind as teams he could have a legitimate shot at being a #1 on.

If their current QB situation doesn't change, the WR1 on these teams are still useless.

(Pretending I'm a scout like we all do)I don't think Obomanu is the thoroughbred needed. I think his upside is limitted.

My stash and hope guys right now are Andre Hall, Trent Edwards, Sidney Rice, Chad Jackson and (ugh) Mark Bradley. I have two players on IR (Leinhart and R Brown) so I will have to drop a couple of them before next year's Rookie Draft.

Bradley has made some awesome catches in preseason. I thought I read somewhere that he wants more playing time, but Lovie basically said that he's not a focus and they'd consider other Bears WRs way before him..

I think you misunderstood me. I was asking the Bradley owner when he's going to stop waiting on him to get his chance and waive him and move onto the next young WR for his team. If you owned him in FF, when would you?
