Positional breakdown is how I feel about picking them up based on other WW pickups at their position (1: GET HIM, 5: avoid)
LT is the long term view for 2008 (1: a guy that will have value for the rest of the year, 5: a guy that may be good for a week or two)
Here's the list of guys we mentioned on the show:
Troy Smith QB: 4, LT: 4
Joe Flacco has a strong hold on this job, and would continue to be the starter even if he was struggling.
Craig Nall QB: 4 LT: 5
Sage Rosenfels is Capt. Turnover, but it was a bad game vs the Ravens. Snatch up Rosenfels if an owner becomes dismayed with him.
JP Losman QB: 3, LT: 4
Lee Evans owners are hoping for a switch here. the entire Buffalo team is struggling, and Trent Edwards just got the vote of confidence from **** Jauron.
(protect your starters)
Byron Leftwich
Billy Volek
Kevin Kolb
these are all QBs that we know can produce.
RB
Cadillac Williams RB: 3, LT: 4
pick him up if he gets activated off the PUP list on Wednesday. we've seen plenty of backs come back from major injuries. wait for the activation, but strike quick if he's called up.
Peyton Hillis RB: 1, LT: 2
the number one waiver wire pickup this week. earned the trust of coach Shanahan with that 4th down run. He is the starter and will be given every chance as the main RB, plus a great receiver on a PASS FIRST team.
Shaun Alexander RB: 2, LT: 4
Portis is 50/50 to play this week according to Jim Zorn. Has the crazy workload finally caught up with CP?
Dominic Rhodes RB: 1, LT: 2
has looked better than Addai this year. JA could be banged up, and the Colts are secretive about injuries.
Jerome Harrison RB: 3, LT: 3
this guy needs to get the ball more. with Brady Quinn throwing short all day (his downfield accuracy over 15 yards is-and always has been poor) could we see Harrison more involved on screens/swings.
Ryan Moats RB: 3, LT: 3
Ahman Green is still healthy, and most of his yards against the Ravens came when the game was out of hand. came from a zone blocking scheme at LaTech, so he could be the next Houston RB to emerge at the end of the season.
Pierre Thomas RB: 2, LT: 2
we shall see if Bush can come back at full strength. the McAllister suspension may still be coming
Ahmad Bradshaw RB: 1, LT: 2
do the Giants sit Jacobs as we near the fantasy playoffs to keep him fresh? Do Ward and Bradshaw take over (and continue to dominate)?
Who is an injury away on a Run Heavy Team?
Correll Buckhalter
Kevin Jones
Chester Taylor
Chris Henry
WR
Justin Gage WR: 2, LT: 3
Brandon Jones WR: 2, LT: 3
do the Titans pass a little bit more because teams are going to try and shut down their run game
Brandon Lloyd WR: 2, LT: 3
he did some exciting things earlier in the year, coming back from injury many have forgotten about him, but he'll have to prove himself all over again.
Mark Bradley WR: 1, LT: 1
gives the Chiefs 2 big targets on the outside, plus Tony Gonzales makes Thigpens job a lot easier. makes a nice WR3/flex starter each week.
Malcolm Floyd WR: 1, LT: 2
more productive than Chris Chambers, could continue to emerge in this dangerous passing game
Anthony Gonzalez WR: 1, LT: 2
with Harrison struggling, does Peyton look more for the youngster. The Steelers were rumored to have Harrison single covered as part of their game plan.
Deion Branch WR: 5, LT: 5
I personally am done with Branch as he gets hurt too much, Bobby Engram or Hasselbeck are the Seahawks to look for on the wire/trade.
Jerry Porter WR: 2 LT: 3
he's been worked more into the offense recently, with Matt Jones suspension looming Porter will be the main guy. tough run defenses ahead means a lot of passing for Jacksonville
Shaun McDonald WR: 4, LT: 4
only if you're desperate
Mark Clayton WR: 3, LT: 3
how bad is Derrick Mason banged up? Clayton will benefit if DM is out.
TE
Billy Miller TE: 1, LT: 1
he's the Saints TE to own, the team is fed up with Shockey and Brees looks to him often.
Daniel Graham TE: 3, LT: 3
with the Broncos set to air it out more than ever could Graham finally show those hands that we saw at CU?
Dustin Keller TE: 1, LT: 2
he's a big slot receiver for this team, the WRs may be up and down but Keller could be the most consistent receiver for the Jets
Matt Spaeth TE: 3, LT: 4
If Heath Miller is healthy Spaeth's value takes a big hit.
Thanks for listening!
Thanks for listening as always guys!Monday is the day that we re-watch all the games, and since there's no
Walker is done in the NFL. Even if he gets out of Oakland I see his career path following that of Ashley Lelie.Floyd, on the other hand, may be showing just the tip of the iceberg. He may have to go to another team, or maybe Chris Chambers moves on - but either way this guy is a legit player.He's not the most crisp route runner but he has FANTASTIC hands, and with his tall frame he knows how to use it to shield the ball away from defenders. He has good run after the catch ability, and knows how to make DBs miss as they approach him. He won't be a WR1 for fantasy, or in the NFL - but he's great on a dynasty squad.
