Waiver wire darling (1 Viewer)

Go get yourself Vince Young
It's Peyton and the Colts next week and then it's NE before their week 7 bye. Won't surprise me a bit to see VY starting in week 8. If out of the hunt, Titans really ought to find out this year if VY is the future.ETA: I think Indy will light up the Titan defense next week. Titan's D has struggled since 4th quarter of week 1.

The Titans have been "out of it" since the stomped on the Terrible Towel last year when they beat the steelers in the regular season, I dont think thay have won a game since that day.

NBC's Peter King reports that the Titans are not considering switching quarterbacks at this time.This doesn't say much for coach Jeff Fisher's confidence in Vince Young. Perhaps it'll take losses in upcoming matchups with the Colts and Patriots. The 0-4 Titans are standing by Kerry Collins despite his seven turnovers in the first four games. They should also be kicking themselves for giving him a $15 million contract in the offseason.
 
Josh Morgan if an owner dropped him in your league. He could have had 2 TDs today. Unfortunately he dropped one in the 2nd qtr. But made it up by catching one in the 2nd half.

IMO Massaquoi is fool's gold.
why?
Well he's a rookie WR, which is a notoriously inconsistent breed.He racked up 2 catches for 31 yards in the 3 previous games.His QB is erratic and turnover prone.His team stinks. Somebody can fill in the number of offensive touchdowns the Browns have had in the last however many games, but it's seriously ugly.About all you have to hang your hat on is that he could become Anderson's go-to guy. That's certainly possible but requires a pretty sizable leap of faith IMO.More likely is that going forward he has a lot more 1-16 and 5-50 type games than the monster 8-148 he had today.

Agreed, but I think it may be better to take a chance on him at this point then hold onto somebody such as Donnie Avery or Torry Holt. It really depends how thin you are at the position.

Worth taking a chance on? Sure why not. But the reason he was open and targeted often is because of Braylon drawing the attention. If Massoquai proves to be a threat (which he has) then defenses will tighten up on him.Overall his emergence is good news for the Browns. However, from a fantasy perspective I think it will be hit or miss as to which one of them has the better game each week.

Got to love the no waiver wire system. Yahoo league?
Is this really necessary?
Was asking is this really unnecessary, really necessary? :thumbup:
Yes it was. Or maybe it wasn't. but one thing is for sure:this response was completely unnecessary and serves no purpose whatsoever.

Heath Miller if he is out there could be a nice bye week filler after his game tonight. Especially with Gates and Olsen on byes next week. Pittsburgh travelling to Detroit week 5.

It always depends on what you're dropping.

I may drop Johnny Knox for him/

Mo was very dependable at UGA and a clutch player.

Bray Edwards has been down for 2 years now. 2 years. I traded him for TO because frankly I was going to drop him.

I didn't watch the game, but why wouldn't DA, who has little opportunity in terms of time, turn to a WR who can make plays, who is dependable (consider the trust factor when throwing to Mr. Dropsy, BE, that's very important), and who wants to make it in the NFL.

I may take a shot at MoMass.

 
There's also the school of thought that second team QBs tend to work well with the second team WRs when promoted, because thats who they get practice reps with.

So it's not beyond reason that MoMass (so not typing the full name) would have chemistry with DA, instead of the WRs who were supposedly higher on the depth chart (Braylon, Robiskie, Cribbs, etc)

Just to pile on here. Braylon Edwards was as responsible as DA himself last year with respect to DA losing his starting job. It wasn't simply the # of dropped DA passes that Edwards had it was the "type" of drops. I recall several drops by Edwards last year that should have been TDs or really long gains, plays that if made could have put DA on much more solid ground.

I agree, not sure why you responded...lol. All I was saying that leagues without waiver system properly in place isnt the standard. Yahoo public leagues are the only ones I have experienced that do such a thing. If you didnt like that, well...you didnt like it. Dont read into things that arent there. I do regret dropping mendenhall to pick up caddy sunday morning. Just couldnt bring myself to dropping Felix Jones, but may have to due to roster limits/byes.
 
Any word yet on Hester and Knox? If they are out for an extended period of time, Bennett may have some value.

Was at the game yesterday and although MoMass was able to take advantage of single coverage, he did make some tough catches. I can agree that he's woth a pickup especially in keeper/dynasties. Fools Gold label is not warranted here; using prior 2 game stats is useless as there's been a QB change and we're talking about a rookie who is learning everyday.. better to be proactive and grab him now..

I'll add to that Josh Cribbs played ahead of him in week one and he didn't play in week 2. I'm not sure about week 3 so it's quite possible this was the first week he was given a real chance to do something. Can we get a Browns' fan take on how much playing time he has had prior to this week?
 
Well he's a rookie WR, which is a notoriously inconsistent breed. Who was drafted in the 2nd round so he must have some talent Talent does not equal consistency. See the rookie years of way more talented WRs like Calvin Johnson and DeSean Jackson

He racked up 2 catches for 31 yards in the 3 previous games. With Brady Quinn at QB (nuff said) Yet Quinn still beat out Anderson to open the year -- not exactly a glowing recommendation for Anderson

His QB is erratic and turnover prone. But who also likes to air it out and usually puts up decent fantasy statsActually Anderson has had very few decent fantasy games. Check the game logs. He was hot for the first half of '07 but has been very mediocre ever since.

His team stinks. Somebody can fill in the number of offensive touchdowns the Browns have had in the last however many games, but it's seriously ugly. Which means they will be playing from behind a lot and throwing a tonYou mean just like the last year and a half? How's that been working out?

Not a bad thing to be the"go to guy" and if not he'll have Braylon on the other side taking the top cornersEdwards hasn't made a teammate a viable FF WR yet.

Possibly, but nw's the time to get him off waivers just in case he does continue this trend. If he does this again, it'll be too late to pick him up!Feels to me like a classic case of chasing stats.:shrug
 
Davearm, he wasn't a WR, but I'm pretty sure Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards both had solid fantasy seasons in the same year.

I doubt he will continue to be a relevant, but like I said earlier, you have to take a chance on him now otherwise it will be to late. He's now on my team (because of my league's lame waiver wire rules) because my other options suck at #3 WR (Eddie Royal and Josh Morgan). There has to be several other fantasy owners in the same situation (whether they own those guys or guys such as Avery, Holt, or Coles). If he is a top 30 WR going forward which I think he has a chance to be, I will be happy as will others.

 
Austin Collie could be a sneaky play next week vs the horrendous Titans pass defense.
Collie has put up some interesting numbers and had a decent amount of targets/receptions. Currently have my bid in for Massaquoi, but also considering Collie.
