So who is starting your shiny new WW acquisitions? (1 Viewer)

Lots of good WW pickups this week.

So who is starting their new players and over whom?

I am starting David Nelson over Bowe as my WR3 in a 0.5 PPR.

 
I picked up Decker and Henderson after Week 1. Why would I pick up Devery? :shrug: Masochist. But I was very impressed with Decker on MNF. Didn't start either, 45.60 worthless points sitting on the bench. High score of the week and still mad at myself.

Picked up David Nelson this week. Bills-Pats should be a shootout. Thinking about starting both Decker and Nelson (and benching Reggie Wayne @ vs. Pittsburgh). Devery will probably go for 100 and another TD; the only thing that will stop him is me starting him.

Starting McCluster at WR (he's a RB/WR in my league) over the injured Miles Austin and Devery Henderson. Dropped Jacoby Ford for McCluster

 
IF I win the blind bid for Fred Davis (no mandatory TE in this league), I'll be starting him @ flex over my numerous crappy RBs (Greene/DWill/Addai/& probably McGahee)

 
Aaron Hernandez - thanks to Yudkin, scooped for free during preseason.

Lions D - another free preseason gem after watching them destroy the Pats.

Cam Newton - 17% bid after week 1.

Denarius Moore - scooped for free prior to week 2 breakout on news of DHB knee injury in practice.

Eric Decker - 8% bid this week.

Plaxico Burress - for free today after his disgusted owner dropped him thx to a 0 this past Sunday.

Nice talent infusion for my otherwise busty team. My mid to late picks were horrible this year, so I hit the wire hard.

 
I'm debating between Decker and Jimmy Graham (3 WR/TE league). With Lloyd back and facing a stingy Titans pass D, I'm leaning Graham, but I'm tempted to stick with Deck.

 
Nelson over Moore and MSW at wr3, non-PPR so maybe this is a bad idea. Hate the matchup for Moore, other than that these three are going to be a coin toss until further development.

This for me exactly.MSW SHOULD be the play, but I lack confidence in him, or any Ram, getting a TD.
 
picked up Nelson in my big league...will likely never play him...traded for him in another league today and he'll likely/hopefully be a 2nd flex in a week or so.

Why?
because I have Roddy, Dez, Britt and AJ Green (keeper league). I dropped D. Moore to pickup Nelson because I like Fitz and the passing offense of Buff a lot better than Oak. Hope to use him as trade bait in a few weeks if he works out and I'll package him with a RB. In my redraft I swapped Decker for him today.

Gotcha. Pretty tough to start him in front of Roddy and Britt. Dez could be out and I could see starting him over Green in certain matchups.I could have likely won the bid for Moore, Decker or Nelson and chose Nelson as I think his offense and situation are rare and he could be huge for a WW player.
 
Barely missed on Nelson with a 38 percent bid. 43 percent took him home. At least I tried. I got Decker for free last Saturday, but watched him blow up on my bench. Had Moore and again didn't play him. :bag:

I missed out on the only prize FA of the week in Nelson, or that I valued anyway. (McCluster went for a 30 percent bid, and T. Jones went for 25%). So I looked to flip my last roster spot for speedy Detroit WR Titus Young. He looks like he may be the next lotto ticket. In my other league, I picked up Bernard Scott ahead of the breaking news, for free. I only was looking to back up my C. Benson, and had no idea that he was going to be a hot pickup. I got lucky.

Who am I starting? Moore in both leagues (even with Revis), and Decker in the one league I have him. Moore over recently injured A. Hernandez and Decker over a group of inconsistent WR3s.

totally agree...tons of targets, huge target, every injured behind him, decent passing offense, they'll be behind a good bit, he won't be doubled with Johnson there....a lot to like for a cheap price. I essentially passed/traded on the same guys you did...I liked them all but like Nelson's upside better.

I'll go Britt/Roddy. Otherwise it'd be a coin toss between the two...probably have Dodds rankings break the tie.
 
Starting Nelson over Holmes at WR3 in PPR.

In other league, starting Daniel Thomas (who I picked up on WW) over Harvin in flex with PPR for WR and .5 PPR for RB.

 
May be forced to start Ted Ginn at Flex2 because of a passel of injuries(Manningham, Hernandez etc.) :bag: It IS a return yards league, but still.

I got D. Branch and left the others listed here on the table; while I dropped P. Garcon to get him I actually am starting Branch over F. Davis as my flex.

Did you consider Preston Parker? Between Parker & LaFell, Id like too add one if not both to start, but cant seem to find a drop.(Dynasty)I do have Murray in my lineup, over Benn, Little, A. Brown, and Colston (but might go w Brown, dunno)

This is a grt post. Its one thing to add a player, quite another to place in starting lineup!

 
He wasn't a WW pickup, but I activated Decker off of my taxi squad and am playing him in the flex over the likes of Reggie Bush, Denarius Moore, Sims-Walker and Jonathan Stewart.

I placed a small bid on Parker in that league(not a believer, really), but another owner total smoked the crack rock and dropped around 13% of his FA budget on him *boggle*.

Looking like Ted may, indeed, be going into my lineup this week at the Flex2. It's he or Hines Ward and I fear the Steelers may roll it up on the Colts early, limiting the amount of targets Ward(and all their WRs) would normally get. Edwards is out in SF so Ginn should see more work 11-on-11, plus still nab his normal return stuff(that's my hope at least).

 
Managed to grab both Nelson and Decker.

Keeping a very close eye on reports as the weekend approaches, because Calvin and Dez are perma-questionable.

 
In a completely unrelated topic why can't you click on the profile pic and see a bigger picture of it. Not that it has anything to do with some of the profile pics I saw on here of course....

 
Picked up Fred Davis and Dexter McCluster. :football: Might Sit A.J. Green depending on injury news and insert McCluster. McCluster is a WR in my league.

Which Nelson do you guys keep referring to? Too ambiguous. Are you even talking about the same guy?

 
David. Jordy is more of a known quantity for most people. David Nelson has broke onto the Fantasy radar just this year.

 
Fred Davis at flex over Hakeem Nicks. Giants will look to establish the run, and Nicks will be shut down by the Philly corners.

 
Starting Nelson over Holmes at WR3 in PPR.
Same here! Although, I am going back and forth between the two.I also got me a brand new Cam Newton that I just can't wait to take out for a joy ride. Not this week though. I've got Rivers as my other QB and I am just licking my lips with the match up he's got..
 
Rolling out Moore over Manningham and B. Gibson. Not thrilled with the matchup, but feels like better upside than Gibson offers, and Manningham is a question to play at all.

Overall, very happy to have gotten Moore on the wire this week, especially after dropping him week 1 for a roster need.
