Waiver Wire & FAAB Discussion heading into the Week 6 games (1 Viewer)

[Scooby1974]

Unflappable Joe Flacco
Trevor Lawrence
Cousins

Antonio Gibson
Jaylen Warren
Bigsby
Dowdle
Kendre Miller I.R.
McNichols

Slayton
Pearsall close I.R.

Likely back on the TE radar


Who else are you guys targeting this week? Any guys coming off I.R. that might make an impact?

 

[Lansdowne]

Audric Estime is eligible to come off IR this coming week if you're looking to speculate on the Broncos RB room. Keep in mind Javonte Williams has looked much improved the last two weeks so I wouldn't expect Estime to come right in and take his job, but maybe he starts taking snaps from Jaleel McLaughlin.

Tyrone Tracy is another rookie RB worth mentioning in case he's sitting in your league's waivers.

 

[sm8680]

Josh Downs

Rico Dowdle is fools gold

Jaylan Wright

Potentially Darnell Mooney

 

[packer_junkie]

Tucker Kraft is a guy i would go heavy on if hes available

 

[Uncle Leo]

Rico looked solid yesterday.
Slayton is the real fool’s gold IMO

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Tucker Kraft is a guy i would go heavy on if hes available

I've read people are scared on him as he only caught 3 balls yesterday. Could be a big sell high guy?

Who else are you guys targeting this week? Any guys coming off I.R. that might make an impact?

Bigsby should be the No. 1 pickup anywhere he's available. I think he has a legit shot at taking the job from Etienne. Or maybe he already has?

Flacco clearly does more for the offense, but ARich is the future of the franchise and he'll keep the job when healthy.

McNichols was garbage time. BRob and Ekeler are both (relatively) healthy and I don't see him having much of a role beyond being a handcuff.

I still have Likely on one roster (along with Njoku) and I'm coming to the conclusion that Baltimore doesn't exactly have a "too many mouths to feed" problem as it does a "nobody has any ####ing clue which mouth will get fed" problem. I mean, TE is a dumpster fire so sure, take a flier, but lower your expectations that a) he will be valuable and b) you will be able to correctly predict when to start him.

I guess Gibson is worth a flier given Rhamondre's injury and the potential upside of that offense if Maye pulls a Jayden Daniels. Personally, I'm not buying.

Dowdle is certainly worth picking up because he's a starting RB on a decent offense, but I don't trust 4th-year breakouts from undrafted guys.

Slayton is who he is at this point and Nabers will be back next week.

The other name I'll throw out there: Tyrone Tracy. Seattle's D isn't great, and obviously Singletary will be back, but Giants are likely to be in a position where they want to evaluate their young talent, so I think he could get a shot at the job.

Dynasty he is a buy IMO

 

[packer_junkie]

Wasn't a great script for a passing game.

I do think the targets will always be spread out but from a fans perspective-- him and Reed are seperating in terms of what they do with their targets.

Yup. As I said in his thread, if you only read stat lines that could look like a sell high eruption, but if you look at what he did with the ball in his hands…I don’t make a practice of looking to sell guys who make plays themselves (barring major expected opportunity changes)

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

It is true that his first TD was a total blown coverage. But like I said, TE is a dumpster fire, so go ahead and buy your lottery tickets (apologies for the mixed metaphor)

 

[Wrigley]

Tolbert looks the part

 

[BobbyLayne]

Good week to send out trade offers

Especially to teams who are currently on the outside looking in (6th or worse) - we want motivated partners

Agreed, the FA pickings are slim.

Obviously depends on the league/roster size - many of the aforementioned names may not be rostered. In deeper leagues, guys like Tyrone Tracy may not have been rostered.

Unfortunately (redraft, dynasty, roster size, number of teams in league) always comes up in waiver wire threads.

Yeah. In desperate for QB production in SuperFlex. This is my thinking as well.

 

[stubby]

T. Tracy

4 rec for 88 yrds and 2 touchdowns yesterday.

 

[SoBeDad]

Juju? Don't think so.

 

[gbill2004]

Juju? Don't think so.

Juju, yes. He's running Rice's routes. He looked great last night and clearly has a rapport with Mahomes. Seems like he's been around forever but he's only 27 years old and he said he's 100% healthy coming into this season after having knee issues previous seasons. Glad I picked him up yesterday before the game so no need to blow my FAAB load on him. Looks like a potential league winner.

 

[FairWarning]

JuJu especially in PPR leagues. KC is on a bye this week so people may look in a different direction. Is he better than Doubs, who I would have to cut?

Looking hard at Flacco also to fill the Caleb bye week in week 7. The concern is Indy going back to AR. I also have Dalton, the week 7 game doesn’t look as appealing vs Wash as Flacco vs Miami.

 

[Klimtology]

One of my fav threads.

 

[JohnnyU]

Looking pretty bleak on the waiver wires right now IMO.

 

[kyoun1e]

Who do you go after 1 and 2...Bigsby vs. T. Tracy?

 

[SoBeDad]

Juju? Don't think so.

Having 2nd thoughts. Red zone TD 2 games age, 7-130 on 8 targets last night. I have the #1 waiver in a 14 team league. Unless KC trades for someone, who else? I'm struggling with Cooper, Mooney, Dell, Lockett at WR.

 

[jm192]

Who do you go after 1 and 2...Bigsby vs. T. Tracy?

Bigsby.

I would assume most of the RB touches go to Singeltary upon return.

I think Bigsby has forced this into a committee, and now ETN has a shoulder injury. I think you get the every week role with Bigsby and starter upside if ETN misses time. I'd rather ride with the Trevor Lawrence offense than the Daniel Jones offense.

I've saved the #1 waiver priority all year in our IDP dynasty. 36 roster spots, huge portion of that is bench. Nothing on waivers. Juju was sitting there for free last week, but I told myself he was done and I'd rather not worry about him. Oops.

You’re not alone…

 

[jm192]

SF/Deeper leagues in need of QB help:
Jameis Winston: I know Stefanski said they're not going to bench Watson, but I feel like it's inevitable. If you've got the roster space, I think he's a good guy to sit on for a few weeks.

RB:
Bigsby the most obvious one if he's still available
Don't forget Ty Chandler: Jones left with a hip injury and is considered week to week. You may steal a few stars there.
Roschon: Not a ton of volume, but keeps getting touchdowns.
Someone mentioned Warren, certainly worth a look if he got dropped

WR:
Juju...I think he's for real. Not 130 yards every week, but playable.
Tolbert. Cooks on IR, had a big week as the #2. Streamable at the least
Slayton--I wouldn't give anything to get him. He's worth a stream as your WR3 if Nabers misses again

TE:
Conklin
Schultz: Moreso if Nico misses more time. But he's had 16 targets over the last 3 games in a good offense. Given the state of the TE position, he's worth a flier if you need a body.

No kidding.

I always sort the FA by NFL team to see if there is anyone playing MNF who could have value by the end of the night bc they have a breakout or the starter gets hurt. Haven’t thought of JJSS as being worthy of a WR5/WR6 spot in about 4 years.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Who do you go after 1 and 2...Bigsby vs. T. Tracy?

My gut is Tracy but human nature of the jags and pederson, they just got their first win with bigsby a big part, may not want to get away from that.

Theoretically nabors is another factor against Tracy but I hear these David Johnson comps with him and in the SSS I see it

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

better blind bid waiver pickup
Pierce or JuJu?

 

[Insein]

Drake Maye for Superflex and 2QB. See what he's got.

 

[Golden Gopher]

WR - Juju and Mooney for sure if they're available. Tolbert would be next on my list. Pierce too TD-dependent in some leagues, but worth a stash in others.

RB - My only concern with Bigsby is that he's only had one target in the passing game this year (which obviously limits his value in PPR). I think it's close between Bigsby and Tracy, depending on what you need (this week versus more long-term).

Lots of intriguing, if not exciting, TE options...
Kraft is an obvious must-have if available.
Engram may be back this week (if he happened to be dropped). That said, I also like Strange as a flier/stash type.
Noah Gray is getting 2-3 looks per week. If/when Kelce gets dinged, he'll be serviceable most likely.
Akins (CLE) may be an add depending on the Njoku news (supposed to have had an MRI yesterday on his knee).
Jonnu Smith had a decent week, although he seems to be that guy that has a good week as soon as I drop him, but does nothing if I start him.

 

[Golden Gopher]

better blind bid waiver pickup
Pierce or JuJu?

Juju. Based on a small sample size, obviously, but if last night is any indicator, he's going to be a primary target for Mahomes. Pierce has had a nice start, but very TD-dependent. Double digits in the three games in which he scored, but averaging only about 4PPG in the games where he doesn't.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Don't forget Hockenson is coming back potentially next week. I doubt he's out there but if he is, scoop him up!

 

[FairWarning]

Juju

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Injuries have made me desperate for lotto ticket RBs. How do you rank the following this week and season long in redraft?

Dare Ogunbowale
Emari Demercado
Trey Benson
Zamir White
Jaleel McLaughlin
Samaje Perine

 

[Wrigley]

JuJu or Tolbert?

 

[gbill2004]

JuJu or Tolbert?

Tolbert has a higher floor. Juju for upside.

 

[TLEF316]

Dont really NEED Running backs (although I just lost Achane and who knows what Nick Chubb will give us), but considering spending a big chunk of my remaining FAAB on Bigsby. He's very explosive and I really dont want someone else in my league getting a free starting RB (full PPR so everyone went HEAVY on WR, leaving me with mostly scraps).

League is generally very conservative with bids and I'm wondering if its worth spending a lot just to be sure.

 

[Dickies]

I am putting bids on Mostert, Mooney and Juju in my league.

 

[JohnnyU]

I wish I had at least one of those options. All I’m seeing are garbage and defenses.

I'm in the exact same boat. Wondering what a good bid would be

 

[Ray Barboni]

Would you guys value either of Bigsby or Tracy over Braelon? Non Breece owner

 

[JohnnyU]

Redraft or dynasty? Assuming redraft. Probably Bigsby. If dynasty, then Allen.

I’d take Tracy

 

[FairWarning]

I’m on Bigsby because he has a better track record, bit would roll dice with the other.

Redraft. Id agree Bigsby over Allen

Would you guys value either of Bigsby or Tracy over Braelon? Non Breece owner

I’d take Tracy

Interesting. I lean slightly Bigsby because of the overall offense (JAX over NYG) and Tank being in his 2nd year.
