Good stuff, and really nothing I disagree with (including the portions I cut out) besides here with Wright. Everyone else in this "dont drop" section has some sort of track record or flash, besides Wilson whose situation IMO I agree dictates its way too early to drop. Can you elaborate as far as why you included Wright here?? It was mentioned that one may drop him because of Britt coming back, but Id like to see what he does with Britt on the field actually. That said, it looks to me like he'll be competiting for targets with Washington, Williams, CJ2YPC, and Cook all year.

b/c STL pass offense looks limited and amendola is at best an emergency bye/injury fill-in, better to use your roster spots for guys that could at least amount to a regular starter in some scenario. usually youll find a WR with same outlook as DA in any given week on the WW, especially in a shallow league.

Because I can see TEN pass offense remaining wide open, Locker looked good, Wright looked good, and Wright also dominated the short targets to give him YAC opp, I can see him remaining a big part of the passing game whether he's a ceremonial starter or not, and the talent is obviously there.Also Britt could come back and pull something or get arrested or whatever, and Wright becomes WR3, if not WR3 material instantly. lots of potential value here. would drop him for cobb if i had to, but thats about it in terms of WW WRs this week.
 
Sigmund,

Thanks for the suggested % bid numbers. A nice addition to the waiver wire special. Is there any way to mine previously processed waiver data to see what the actual avg percentage bid came in at? Sort of like ADP.

Also, why would you spend upwards of 40% of your BB budget on A Morris? Do you trust Shanahan that much?

enough to spend that and either ride the wave or trade soon... the ability to find startable players on the WW is pretty difficult... he's an RB2 until further notice. you can pick up royster when he is dropped to hedge. see no reason to sit on bucks when starting RB in a good offense is out there.interesting idea on the avg cost of players on WW, wonder if MFL can do that for us...

Guys in my league spent $100 on Morris; 82 on McCluster!!!!; 25 on Ogletree; 16 on Moreno.
 
What do you guys think of this situation. I am in a 2QB league all TD's 6 pts. My starters are Rodgers and Brady I have 90% of my FAAB left - someone dropped Fitzpatrick. My 3rd QB is Ponder.

How much do I bid to get Fitzpatrick - I don't really need him but he could be trade bait. The only other starting QB on the wire I believe is Tannehill.

 
Where would TJ Graham fit in here? With Nelson out, D.Jones is moving to the slot, while Graham moves in to the Z position outside. Bills base offense is 3 WRs, is it not? Preemptive pickup or wait and see?

wait and see, was coming along slow in OTA/camp, also deep ball not Fitz specialty
 
Seems like I went a bit nuts and bid $25/100 on McCluster in my PPR league. Next highest bid was $11. Added bonus though is he is now WR/RB eligible which should make him a valuable bench asset in my PPR league. For other references if it helps at all, Hill went for $10, Ogletree for $8. Seems a little more conservative than I would have expected.

He still had 9 targets, was on the field for 52 of a possible 58 snaps (90%) and accounted for 36% of his team's targets (5th amongst WRs). I don't think you can find many WRs that are this involved on your WW. All my leagues are PPR though, so that's probably why our opinions differ. Thanks for the response.
 
Well, I think this site is making a huge mistake advocating spending a lot more on Ogletree than Stephen Hill. There was a unique convergence of factors, mostly due to the injuries to the Giants CB's and Witten, that make Ogletree's week one performance likely to be a fluke. Stephen Hill has elite physical gifts and could very easily be the #1 WR on a solid offense. Total misread by the audible and Footballguys generally.

Not to mention, he was a healthy scratch for Week 1. Unless the Bills only had 3 active WRs (Johnson, Jones and Nelson), I think there are currently other WRs ahead of him. Definitely has potential, and you never know, he could break out. But I think he's a wait and see for sure, especially since he's a rookie.Thanks for the feedback on Donald Jones, I appreciate your insight. However, I'm very high on him and definitely think he's more valuable than a good amount of those guys on your list.
 
Does the term/title 'Drop Shallow' refer to a league with a shallow bench, a shallow WW pool or ...?

Thanks Guys! Great stuff, as always.

Interesting post that definitely made me question my pick-up of Ogletree in preference to Hill. We shall see...

Matt Waldman's fantastic upgrades/ww breakdown touched on most of these points. Cecil mentioned many Ogletree negatives during the show as well. Use all the content and your own analysis! I definitely agree with you on not being as excited on Ogletree.
