Who U think?I'm dropping Hillis for Hilton. I think J. Baldwin, Binns, Edelman are also good deep bench depth @ WR.I might start Bradshaw & Brown? Don't the Giants do that? 2 backs ?A. & B. Brown should be good this year. They get to play each other 2 times as well. I hope I get B. Brown on waivers in the morning. 3rd pick? doubtful?Longshot: La Michael James
Bryce Brown -- While Brown has all-world talent, he has only flashed that talent occasionally. If McCoy misses time, I look for Dion Lewis to factor in heavily, thus reducing Brown's value.Bernard Pierce -- Flacco has realy stepped up his game, but the Ravens will not abandon the run, even in a Rice absence. Bobby Rainey looms on the practice squad, and he could factor in if Rice misses time. Pierce is a pickup if Rice gets injured, but I don't see him as a preemptive stash.Bilal Powell -- Powell is a definite preemptive pickup, if you have not already missed that opportunity. I drafted Powell (and I do not own Greene). I think Powell's talent has been understated by some on here. He showed a complete game at Louisville, and if Greene continues to unimpress, Powell is likely to get an opportunity. Grimes is an intriguine acquisition, but Powell will get the first shot.Lamar Miller (Daniel Thomas) -- Miller is a definite dynasty stash, and a quality redraft stash as well. Reggie Bush has not exactly been an iron man, and the same could be said about Daniel Thomas. In the event of a Bush injury, I expect we will see a committee approach, but Miller is my preference of the two.LaGarette Blount -- Doug Martin has not lived up to his billing yet, but I suspect we will not see enough of Blount to give him any significant value. I would not be at all surprised if Blount outproduced Martin's numbers, if he were to get a chance, but I dounbt he gets that chance. Michael Smith is an intriguing rookie, but he is not a redraft stash.Ronnie Hillman -- McGahee is dealing with a rib injury, and I like Hillman, not Ball, to emerge if anything more than a one-game fill-in is needed. Vick Ballard (Mewelde Moore) -- I still have not given up on Ballard. I am not sold on Donald Brown, but I am unclear on who would benefit most if Brown is out of commission. The three-headed monster of Ballard, Moore and Carter is too much of a mess for me to make any a preemptive stash.Brandon Boldin -- I doubt he gets enough touches to be fantasy relevant.Danny Woodhead -- Trying to figure out which week to insert Woodhead in your lineup is too much of a gamble.Shane (BEN) Vereen -- I like Vereen's talent, and while I could certainly see him producing quality numbers, I have serious doubts he can ever stay out of the trainer's room long enough to do it. LaRod Stephens-Howling (William Powell) -- Powell has generated some excitement with the injury to Wells, but Stephens-Howling's role could increase if Williams falls. The preemptive pickup may actually be Wells, so don't lose sight of him.Joique Bell -- Bell has impressed me every time I have watched him. There is a potential logjam behind Leshoure (Best, Smith, Williams), but I get this sneaking suspicion Bell is the guy who could emerge if Leshoure is set back.Toby Gerhart -- You have to be in complete awe of Peterson's return, but I am still watching this situation carefully. Gerhart is a name to remember, but not a pick up at this point.Mike Goodson (Taiwan Jones) -- I like Goodson as the handcuff to DMC, but Taiwan Jones has CJ Spiller/Jamaal Charles-like speed and elusiveness. If I were making a preemptive pick up, why not swing for the fences with Jones?Felix Jones --
Jones is another potential swing-for-the-fences type of preemptive pickup. Phillip Tanner cannot be ignored, but I still like Jones to benefit the most if Murray gets injured.
. Glad I have him on my team!
