Applaud and this relates directly to injury thread so just launch this when the 1:00 games start or whenever
Good thinking

I generally think about it after the early games

Tayson Hill was not drafted, picked up then released in my redraft leagues and I wanted to try and get him but with EE...Ert/Everett was hard to make a cut and grab him.
Not available everywhere but he will be gone quickly on waivers this week and wont return for a while.
-Nobody started him so his points didn't kill most folks.
-Everyone will be chasing his 3TD performance last week
-Nobody has truly cashed in on him, all chasing points so far
Cheers!

Many people started him with the TE landscape.

Footballguy
What's many? How many in RTSports?
50%? Be specific and I'm not biting but its not many, none of his points have come to the masses so far in traditional redrafts, no way

He should not be TE eligible
Ministry of Pain
Footballguy
Nobody is a majority is my point, you can't honestly think or say that a lot of folks or "MANY" started him
You can correct the nobody but MANY is a complete exaggeration
Almost nobody in Redraft, in fact very close, a lot more than "MANY" has gone without them in their line up
We good?

Kenny Walker will be at the top of the list as Penny will be out a while.

I'm with you. Goodonya if you started him but, I imagine the majority (50.1%+) had him on the bench. Maybe it's a trend but...I'm not buying.
If he's truly a cheat code then you start him weekly and don't think twice.
Most people (50.01% +) consider "cheat code" to mean he gets inserted at QB. Today was not that.

Kenneth Walker seems like the obvious one right now.

There are a lot of short bench leagues - every league is different.

This. You would think those statements would have left FF years ago.

The two local leagues (12-team) here, he was waived 2x to chase points.
I traded him last week to the Penny manager. I got a nice little return, but am regretting it today.

Do you wish you played in their leagues?

Footballguy
I currently wish I played in any league but the ones I'm already in. Maybe then I can pick a flex player who isn't the lowest scorer on my team.
Chaka
Footballguy
Yes, I'm sure your leagues are far more competitive than everyone else's.
Insein
Footballguy
Seriously? 59% ownership on Sleeper. Seems like a good thing to call out.

Bruh, I literally said that I was the one picking the wrong players.
I started him (needed a fill in for Pitts and he was the best WW option). But you're right about him not killing anyone. I lost that game.

IIRC Williams also got hurt but not sure how badly.

I didn't know that, thx.

Here we go again. Listen, I get what you say if it's a dynasty league, but I can see him on the waiver wire in shallow leagues. Say 15 player 10 team leagues and some 12 team leagues.
That's fair and you're right. But, if you're in a 12 team league or larger, he should already be rostered. Everyone knows Penny has a history.
And if he is available, he is by far the #1 priority this week. It's not even close.
zamboni
Footballguy
It's established that Walker is the top priority if he's there, with Eno probably the distant #2. The big question is who are the more obtainable ones?
I've mentioned him a few times, but I'm looking closely at Wan'dale Robinson. Slayton showed up yesterday, but strikes me as more fool's gold than anything. Toney is taken in my league, but I'd rather take a shot at Wan'dale if he can finally make it back.

The WR situation for the Giants is a mess. Someone has to catch passes but the WRs can’t seem to get healthy and stay healthy. Slayton is probably the guy until he is injured.
zamboni
Footballguy
Totally agree - the only reason Robinson is intriguing is that he's Daboll & Co. handpicked guy and has a good amount of draft capital invested in him. But obviously it doesn't matter if he can't stay on the field.
titusbramble
Footballguy
This. He's only available in one of my leagues (8 teamer), just a shame I spunked all my FAAB on Khalil Herbert
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
Sounds like Conner has a chance to play Week 6. Great matchup for whoever is healthy but I wouldn’t go crazy on the Eno FAAB.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
....OR the Williams FAAB.
Wrigley
Footballguy
I was forced to start him after Logan Thomas was declared out
Ministry of Pain
Footballguy
My larger point Wrigley was that in most redraft leagues, he was not on more than a small % of rosters IMHO
In a 10-12 team redraft, I doubt a large chunk of Hill owners were wheeling him out yesterday but surely it happened.

I didn't watch the game, but I've been hearing Benjamin hype for more than a year at this point. Has he shown anything to justify it or is this entirely based on opportunity?
ignatiusjreilly

Debating a) whether to drop Russ for Geno and b) whether to actually use a waiver claim to do it. I generally hate to use claims on QBs, especially since I don't have a ton of faith in Geno and at this point I'm basically all-in on streaming the position (also have Goff).
BobbyLayne

Decent Chase Edmonds type satellite back, good pass catcher. Got some wiggle but it’s a bit of a detriment bc he’s so focused on juking someone he misses to just blow right by that level. Not really built up be a bell cow.
Gonna develop into a starter at some point but I don’t think he’s special. For a 7th rounder, good value pick by the Cards.

One quick note on the "shouldn't be available in competitive leagues" mantra. This pick-up thread is useful for folks who might not have been able to indulge in a full Sunday of football. It's also helpful to know how people outside of our leagues are prioritizing waiver pickups, in terms of FAAB estimates.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
Still low volume but good weapons around him. Love his schedule a lot - other than @TB (WK10) and SF (WK15) he’s got clear sailing.
First round knockout if you don’t have a Plan B. More important to just get there & figure that out later.
Do it, man.

Totally understandable, but welcome to bizarro land. Population: us.
