Great content as always, despite the muddiness of Bloom's voice over the phone -- given the value add you guys always provide, you totally deserve the pass on an issue beyond your control.

Love the insight and added depth to these players' situations. Would love it even more if you guys took a specific stand on or gave more prioritization around which candidates you feel make the best pick-up out of all the guys you mention at each position.

Sorry to not be clearer on that - Wallace, Choice. Manningham, Pettigrew would be my tops on each position. Any particular either/ors you're pondering?

Hi Sigmund, a brief "order" on the receivers you mentioned besides Manningham would be awesome! (he'll be a major pickup this week).

What are your thoughts on Sims-Walker?

I know that CP is a big fan, but I always appreciate other viewpoints!

Cheers,

Bloom,Why so low on Walker?

Injuries or Jax offense or lack there of.

Seems like he could blow up with enough looks, he is the only hope of a WR#1 with Holt slowing down.

In a PPR, start 3 with a flex, probably right around Wade, upside limited, but he's getting end zone targets. Still underwhelmed by his talent, but Sanchez seems to trust him. Maybe even a little higher in non-PPR.

Since he's not listed, would S. Smith be tops if available?

I am also wondering the same thing. Would Smith be above Manningham?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Not listed S. Breaston. Ahead of Sims-Walker?

yes, expect he was drafted in most leagues, even shallow.

definitely in PPR, almost dead even in non-PPR.

Smith in PPR is tops. I like Manningham over him slightly in a non-PPR because of his big play ability.

Thanks guys. Last couple years I only listened in the preseason, glad to be listening into the season.

 

[KingPrawn]

Somebody dropped Ginn last week. Where's he fit on this list?

definitely below manningham, henderson, robinson, probably even with sims-walker

 

[Chunky Soup]

Hey Bloom, this thread has been very helpful.

McCoy was dropped in redraft ppr. Where would you put him with those other WRs (Smith, Sims-Walker, Michael Bush)?

McCoy top of any PPR waiver list, unless you are really hurt for WR help

Bloom Where would you put Josh Morgan on this list?

Thanks as always

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Bloom Where would you put Josh Morgan on this list?Thanks as always

ugh. he has the talent, but SF is sticking by Jimmy Raye's safe game plan. I would only add Morgan if you feel strong at least one past the number of starters you have at WR, because youll have to be patient. still love him in dynasty leagues, trying to trade for him in all mine this week.

If Morgan is your #1 backup WR and youre going to have use him in bye weeks, its not a bad idea. I still think Morgan will have some big games, but if the 49ers dont need to pass downfield to win, theyll be content to play it safe.

 

[Mr. Anonymous]

Just dropped Morgan for S. Smith.

Considering dropping Avery for one of these guys - Henderson, Robinson, Knox, Sims-Walker - they are all available.

I'm looking for a "high beta" guy, rather than consistency, plus the most likely to become very valuable next year. I can protect one player drafted 10th round or later (including waiver wire guys) with a 5th round pick. So that's a small added benefit of waiving Avery (9th round) for waiver guy.

None of these guys may be likely enough to be worth a 5th round pick to try to play that game. The Sims-Walker hype on other threads is sucking me in a little bit.

(Given posts above, I perhaps should have cut Avery rather than Josh Morgan).

Thoughts? Thanks!

henderson will have the highest peaks, especially if Moore's hamstring remains an issue all year
