Waiver wire and FAAB Discussion (Redraft) - Week #4 (going into week 5) (21 Viewers)

[Insein]

Bye weeks are here. Chi, GB, Pit, Atl all on bye week 5. Fill ins will be in high demand now. A couple new names popped up but mostly the same from the last 2 weeks.

 

[Insein]

RB Kenneth Gainwell
RB Woody Marks

Handcuffs to own
RB Justice Hill
RB Blake Corum (only 31% on sleeper)
RB Emmanuel Wilson
RB Kendre Miller
RB Zavier Scott (while Jones is out)

WR Darius Slayton
WR Romeo Doubs
WR Malik Washington
WR Jalen Tolbert
WR Marvin Mims
WR Isaiah Bond

TE Darren Waller
TE Brenton Strange
TE Tommy Tremble

QB Matthew Stafford (only 41% on sleeper)
QB Jaxson Dart
QB Carson Wentz (doesn't look pretty but 350 yds and 2 TDs is points)

DST Detroit (@Cin)
DST Arizona (vs Ten)
DST Cleveland (vs Min in London)

 

[Doubles]

Brashard Smith? Jaydon Blue with Miles Sanders possibly banged up?

 

[Payne]

I think (hope) Slayton is a good pickup having lost Nabers. He has shown the ability to put up points when called upon.
And somebody has to catch balls in NY.

 

[Faust]

Theo Johnson

I have no choice. My WRs have been terrible this year. I have to blow a lot of FAAB on the chance Slayton takes off in Nabers absence or my seasons done anyway.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Woody Marks led Houston RBs in pretty much every stat this last week. Guessing he’ll be the #1 targeted FA in leagues where he wasn’t scooped up already.

 

[Doubles]

Isaiah Bond anything? Tillman reportedly out “weeks.”

 

[Gatorman]

Isaiah Bond anything? Tillman reportedly out “weeks.”

good player with legal troubles during the draft process (like all Browns rookies it seems). My buddy loves him and I may take a flier

 

[Pietaster2]

How much

I think (hope) Slayton is a good pickup having lost Nabers. He has shown the ability to put up points when called upon.
And somebody has to catch balls in NY.

I have no choice. My WRs have been terrible this year. I have to blow a lot of FAAB on the chance Slayton takes off in Nabers absence or my seasons done anyway.

How much FAAB are we blowing on Slayton in redraft?

I’m thinking $36 or $41, to be aggressive for what will be a team’s #1 WR RoS.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’ve been sitting on #1 WW priority in my home PPR IDP redraft.

Denille Hunter & Kenneth Gainwell both on the wire. I’ve got Cook, Chase Brown, Jordan Mason, and JCM as my RB corps, so Gainwell is the add, right?

Uh, right?

Worth blowing the 1 on, or flash in the pan who’s gonna lose his shine when Warren comes back?!

I could also use the DE, and Hunter will very likely be claimed by someone. So it’s one or the other… or neither?

I think Hunter by a mile unless the sacks aren't worth a lot in the league.

 

[bolzano]

How about Sean Tucker (with the Bucky injury)?

They’re worth 6, same as a TD.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

How about Sean Tucker (with the Bucky injury)?

I like it but we don’t know what the injury is. Just that he had an MRI, which these guys seem to get for even very mid stuff.

Yeah, I think Gainwell finds his way back to the bench. But please don't listen to me, all other things constant.

I'd still go Hunter, even if you don't listen to me.

 

[bolzano]

Isaiah Davis is one for deep leaguers. Allen is likely IR bound, per Rapoport.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I'd still go Hunter, even if you don't listen to me.

Right now I have it Hunter 1st, Gainwell 2nd.

I don't think Warren lost the job yet. FWIW if anything RBBC, plus Kaleb looms for 2nd half of season.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Short bench league. Would you drop one of Tuten or Corum for the likes of Slayton?

I would be all in on Hunter then. Get another DE1.

Gainwell could have earned more work. But I think Warren is still the man. I think Gainwell is going to be hard to rely on/feel good about starting as long as Warren is healthy.

 

[rockaction]

I'd still go Hunter, even if you don't listen to me.

Right now I have it Hunter 1st, Gainwell 2nd.

Ooh, I just read Waldman and you might reconsider. Check out his article.

Cliff notes?

Just says he always liked Gainwell and to monitor Warren's knee. He says:

"Gainwell's versatility, along with his conceptual (vision and game management) and technical skills (footwork and pad level), are starter-caliber. His athletic ability is reserve-level, but as we've seen for many years, reserve-level athletes behind good offensive lines and smart quarterback play can deliver good, and sometimes, excellent seasons.

Monitor Jaylen Warren's knee. If Warren's injury becomes a multi-week problem, or worse, Gainwell's experience and smarts could make him the lead back for the rest of the year -- not Kaleb Johnson.

It means you might want to make Gainwell a preemptive addition to your roster in leagues where you have a strong squad with one luxury spot, or you're a struggling squad and the waiver wire cupboard has been bare."

 

[steelcityman]

Isaiah Bond anything? Tillman reportedly out “weeks.”

Potential is there for something. Was considered by some above Golden at Texas before last season. I took a flier on him in dynasty but had to cut, then he signed with CLEV like 4 days later. I might throw a small bid on him, since I have a droppable WR currently.

Yes, that's all stuff I kinda knew - but "if" is doing all the heavy lifting here. So unless we get news about Warren's knee before waivers run tonight, then I'm burning that #1 pick on a gamble. Pretty sure Hunter is a DE1 regardless. They're both luxury pick-ups. I could probably use the RB more so I guess I'll keep checking for news about Warren.

Yep. I'm just giving you all the subjective data I can. I'd still go with Hunter, but an RB that is starting is usually more valuable.

That's how I feel.

It's the old family guy thing.
Hunter is a weekly starter. Gainwell could be anything. He could even be a weekly starter.

I would personally go for the sure fire value.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Pinned

 

[JohnnyU]

Isaiah Bond anything? Tillman reportedly out “weeks.”

Hard to buy into Bond with that offense.

 

[JohnnyU]

Short bench league. Would you drop one of Tuten or Corum for the likes of Slayton?

I’d drop Corum before Tuten.

 

[Hartliner]

How about Sean Tucker (with the Bucky injury)?

I agree, its one of those might not know enough so do a speculative bid to win and drop him if the MRI is negative. If he is out you got yourself a Flex Player w/ RB2 upside if he slots in the Bucky role.

 

[IHEARTFF]

would you rather have Kendre Miller or Isaiah Bond ROS?

Supposedly Warren was close enough to good that he worked out on Sunday before deciding against it. So that's one week of rest, plus another with the Bye. I'd be very surprised if he's not good to go for Week 6.

I don't play IDP, so can't give a fair comparison across positions, but right now I'd label Gainwell an RB3. Could be a top handcuff if Warren gets hurt again, but will be a maddening share if all 3 backs are healthy. Plus I think Tomlin is the kind of coach that wants to give a kid like Kaleb a chance to work his way out of the dog house. Kaleb would have to earn it in practice before games, but I don't think the door is slammed shut.

 

[jm192]

would you rather have Kendre Miller or Isaiah Bond ROS?

Miller by a lot

 

[hwjchim]

Waller is available out there. Is he worth 30-50% of my free agent funds? My TE is Marc Andrew and Harold Fannin

 

[themeistersinger]

I don't know if I'd bid that much, but if he gets the full Jonnu Smith treatment then it would be worth it.

 

[rockaction]

would you rather have Kendre Miller or Isaiah Bond ROS?

That's very difficult because Bond will certainly get snaps, but his QB situation really got downgraded today. Miller is the wildcard of this whole thing for me because I invested too much in dynasty to ever be fully objective in either a positive or negative way.

I just always thought Kendre was really good, but how much is worth on that team and behind that line? Taysom Hill coming off of PUP to practice so there might be your goal line work depending on how Kellen Moore wants to play it?

Who knows?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I think (hope) Slayton is a good pickup having lost Nabers. He has shown the ability to put up points when called upon.
And somebody has to catch balls in NY.

After this week I think Dart would rather run it than throw it

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I’m not paying near that much for 4 targets

 

[SoBeDad]

Only 16 snaps. That will increase. Waller could be Tua's security blanket. TBD. 50% seems too much this early.

I'm hoping the pain he feels today from Sunday will persuade him to throw a few more of those scrambles.

We get return yardage in my league so it's a lot squared.

The question is what can his snaps increase to. It is hard to see him holding up to a big workload, but if he could be could be a top 10 TE

 

[Wrigley]

I’ve been hoarding the #1 waiver priority since week 1, I’m leading the league in scoring and am 4-0

My RBs are weak: C Brown, Pollard, Warren, Gainwell, A Jones(IR)

I don’t spend my waiver priority on R White, right? Should I hold and wait for a real league winner?

Probably not, especially if you can get Sean Tucker for free after waivers (maybe).

Hate when I’m in that position.

We don’t know how extreme the Bucky injury is yet.

 

[Ray Barboni]

Going 50% plus FAAB on Woody Marks. Is that crazy?

Don’t necessarily NEED him, but this feels like a potential league winner in PPR.

How high are you guys willing to spend?
