Isaiah Likely

Who else looks promising and is available on your league for waiver wire targets?
 
Pretty rough week 1 for waivers. Pierce looks the part though. I’ll be adding.

Jeff Wilson might be worth a flyer. Only bigger back on the active roster and he looked to have some juice. Mostert didn’t look like the same. He might turn it around, but father time strikes fast, like a cobra.
 
Jalen McMillan 1-32-1 on 3 targets but all 3 targets could have been TDs. He's going to make noises even with Godwin and Evans and if either go down, he's in line for a decent amount of work.
I like him but he’s rostered in all 6 of my leagues.

I drafted Wicks over him. I think I'm dropping him for McMillan since Love is out for a bit.
 
Rasheed - connection with carr. Maybe they won’t be as bad as everyone thinks.

Josh downs. I feel like Richardson had great rapport with him last year and he’s flying under radar,

Dortch - target leader

Iosivas- bengals sucked but looks like he’ll get Boyd targets and better days ahead

Mcmillan- offense looks good and I want a piece of it. Same with baker. Underrated.

Bigsby - there was talks that he’d be more involved and was better than last year. Looked like it so he’s worth a dart.

Jeff Wilson - deeper league, I honestly wonder if this is the guy is the real handcuff. He just never seems to go away.

Mclaughlin- out touched Williams and got pre season hype. Worth a shot and has speed to breakaway a big game.

Charbonett- walker will be the guy until he’s injured. But I think charbonet will get at least one game this year. He already got a scare this game. Probably drafted but worth a look.

Brandon cooks - I feel like wr2 in that offense is underrated, still no idea how he was drafted so low or went undrafted.

Bruce Irving - massive value if white goes down and maybe even without it.

Dobbins - potential is massive, probably number 1

Demarco Robinson - if puka out someone else has to catch.

E Wilson - good handcuff, looks like he would eat if given the opportunity,

C Akers - maybe piece is the guy now but mixon had 30 carries. I don’t have faith he’ll last all season and I want a part of this offense.

I also think it’s gonna be a good week to pick up guys others drop so I may save waiver and pickup rookies.
 
Parkinson. He sure can shake the defenders.
He also just looked athletic. And they schemed plays specifically for him, down the field.

I am not going to lie, you tell me the Rams have a 6'5 white guy named Colby, I don't expect him to move like that.
 
I have Jayden but with his running tendencies I am looking at picking up Baker. I also liked what I saw from Pierce.

Overall though I think I am going to prioritize Likely (I have Pitts and am terrified of Cousins atm) and Bigsby.
 
I have Njoku in one league, Ferguson in another. Fortunately, Likely wasn't drafted in either league. Unfortunately, in one of them I have a crappy waiver priority.

In one league, Conklin is still available as a FA since he hasn't played yet, so I picked him up. Depending on how he does tonight, my plan is to target the following replacement TEs in order or priority:

Likely
Parkinson
Juwan Johnson (don't love him, but NO threw two TDs to non-Taysom TEs yesterday, and Moreau is in the concussion protocol)
 
Wandale Robinson in PPR:

Had 12 targets, 6 catches, 44 yards. 10.4 PPR points.

Giants are bad, will play from behind all season, which means tons of passing.
O-line is bad, so he's going to have to get it out quick, which in theory benefits Robsinson in the slot.

He won't be a league winner. But he may give you a solid PPR floor if you're down Puka or Higgins after week 1.

Wandale is definitely a member of the Groundhog Day All-Stars. Every year people try to convince you that he might be worth a flier, and he never is. I'll believe it when I see it

When you say "every year", do you mean the two previous seasons he's been in the NFL? It's not like the book is closed on him just yet.

I'm certainly not here to die on the hill that he'll be good this time.

But 12 targets is a lot. I think I at least want to roster him where I need WR help and see what kind of volume comes next week.

And between Higgins and Puka, there's going to be some need for a guy like that.
 
I don't think 5% will get a sniff of JK Dobbins.
I suppose not in rb needy leagues with deep rosters. I can see him not being a high priority in 10 team leagues with shallow benches, or not having deep ww pockets. Leagues have different setups that will dictate FAAB usage.
 
What percentage of FAAB are people willing to go in on Dobbins?

I drafted him - cut him instead of Corum, immediate regret.
If you need a RB and every one else does too, this is not a time to get cheap. I'd drop 30% min. You know your league though and how they would bid. Adjust up or down accordingly.

Think back to kyren last year. Did you land him or fall short by a few FAAB dollars and regret it all year?

He had 60% of the snaps on a team that wants to run the ball all day long. And his numbers were awesome, and Edwards sucked out loud.

There won't be another back with that profile on the WW the rest of the year

You might be right. Too bad he’s rostered in all my leagues or I would have to place a bid to see what happens.

this was Puka last year.

Not saying they will end up in the same place, but it's hard to get receptions without the targets.

Starting, dynamic RBs are fantasy gold, and JK just might fit this category. 30%-50% will be spent on JK Dobbins this week in many leagues, imo.

For sure. It's a gamble. He broke some big ones. But he got chased down from behind as well. I think Gus will still be involved. And at the end of the day, there's still a real concern about his health. If you burn 50% for a guy that just had his best game of the year, that's going to hurt.

FAAB is all about playing the lottery. Most of the time the best player emerges in the first few weeks. Sometimes week 1 (Puka, Kyren last year). If you waited or went cheap, you lost out on not just a starter but top 10 at their position for the whole year. Most would have gone back and spent all their FAAB for either one of them.

Personally? 90%. And I may not even get him. I always want a few bucks to get 1 dolllar players that fall through. I wish I drafted him and the one league he’s on waivers is doing reverse standing and was dropped right before kickoff.

The guy is talented. He could be kyren williams this year.
