I'm trying to figure out the guy, McMillan profiles as more of an X receiver but I'm most curious who will fill the Godwin/Kupp role so maybe that will be Shep and McMillan in for Evans

I would side with McMillan because I can't see Shepard being a consistent producer at this stage of his career. It may just be WRBC though along with Otton. Baker is going to be running for his life even more than usual.
McMillan was primarily a slot receiver in college

How much are people willing to spend % on Jennings?
jm192
Footballguy
25% or more.
We saw him have success when he got opportunity.
Aiyuk done for the season.
I bet Deebo misses a while. I'm a doctor that primarily worked in adult hospital medicine the past 7 years. People tend to get short of breath with exertion for weeks after.
Kittle is probably their #1 rest of the season. But he's banged up.
Pearsall is interesting, but he's a rookie who missed a bunch of time.

I've seen people saying they are spending whatever FAAB they have left on Jennings (75%+). I currently have a bid for 48% but sure don't want to miss out on him.

Jennings, Otten and Henry are the guys im most interested (in that order) if they are still out there on waivers in your league, but all are rostered in my league. Behind them I like McMillan the most and Tillman interests me a bit, but I think he would be a stash play to see how things pan out.

Lost Aiyuk and Godwin so will be combing all WR’s and TE’s (non TE mandatory so a lot of them out there). I’m loaded at RB (Henry, Williams, Hunt, Montgomery) and don’t want to trade any of them if I can help it. Add in Love, Aubrey and good defenses and my team has been scoring a ton outside of WR’s. Jennings would be good. Maybe Wicks but it’s a crapshoot figuring out GB receivers and I get all of them with Love. I’m looking at TE’s. NJoku with Cooper gone. Maybe Otton takes more of the TB targets. Andrews is out there but TB is not their opponent every week, feels like it would be chasing. With my roster I need high floor guys. Still have Thomas, Olave and Worthy but need depth

Was typing fast. I like McMillan too.

With Pearsall, I keep thinking of Brian Robinson's rookie year. He didn't look very good, and a lot of people were down on him. Turns out he is actually very good, and maybe it's kind of hard to come back from getting shot and then go on to excel in a sport with incredible physical and psychological demands. Or maybe it's just hard to come back from getting shot period. That can really do a number on both your body and your mind.
All respect to Pearsall for what he's overcome, but I'm betting against him being a viable fantasy producer this year

Would you guys drop Pop Douglas for Jennings in a 14-team non-PPR? I'm leaning that way, though I'm trying not to hold Sunday's game against him, since he was sick. Maye is looking like he'll be good, and Douglas could be his WR1 the rest of the way. Jennings could also be SF's WR1 for awhile (or maybe 1B receiving option behind Kittle), but Deebo will eventually be back.
With Nico out another couple weeks and Davante a big question mark, I really need some pop (no pun intended) from my WR3. Especially given that it's non-PPR, I'm leaning toward making the move but it's not a slam dunk. Wish there was someone else I could drop but the next guys on my bench would be Maye (have Tua), Ferguson (have Njoku) or Chase Brown

Maye looked good. Douglas was sick. I’d wait another week

You'd pass on Jennings completely in favor of Douglas?

Not sure what Metcalf's status is (sounds like not as bad as I initially thought when I read he was carted off), but if he misses time and you're desperate for a WR, someone will have to take his place. I think Bobo is that guy.
RenegadeRoy
Footballguy
Maybe Tim Patrick with the Jamo suspension?
Bob Loblaw
Footballguy
Dissly? Is he ahead of Hurst?
King of the Jungle
Footballguy
I thought Hurst missed the game
sheerterror
Footballguy
I believe the knock on him predraft was that he struggles to in fact, get open.

Yeah I think this opens things up more for Shakir TBH. Might not have the big play appeal of Cooper but Shakir could be solid in PPR formats.
Remember few years ago Cole Beasley got 1000 yards and like 5 TD for the Bills playing in the slot? And Diggs was with the team then and had a monster year. That's the exact role I see Shakir having this season...same as Beasley, and I expect Shakir to put up similar numbers

He's overtaking Shakir in your opinion?
Not happening this season, that's for sure.

Wilson is a must add for me since Daniels may not play and Russ plays on MNF so he allows me to wait out the likely GTD.
WR - someone dropped Doubs so I am going after him. If he isn’t available then Bateman is next on my list. Hope to get one of those two as possible bye week fillers in my nonPPR. WR injuries have been brutal this season.

That’s not a bad thing, especially in today’s NFL

No - Jennings is still a better target but if you get outbid Pops might be fine

That was Daboll’s offense, and the Bills are on their second OC since he left for NY. The “Beasley role” in Buffalo probably doesn’t exist in that sense anymore. It’s actually Wandale Robinson who is in that role currently lol
ignatiusjreilly
Footballguy
Yeah, I think either could be good ROS.
The other worry with Jennings is that he might not make it back this week. If that happened I’d be forced to start Ferguson as my WR/TE flex, watch is not ideal but also not the end of the world. But anyone who’s targeting Jennings and planning to start him this week should be aware of the risk

Should I try grabbing Tua from the WW? I have Mayfield as my QB but now he is without his elite WR duo. I'd have to drop one of my TE's who are Pitts/Kraft.
I have a feeling that Baker and Tua will probably hold the same value despite the WR woes and obvious dip in his current top-tier production.
I typically don't hold a backup at either of the onesie positions but Kraft was free at the time Pitts was struggling.

I have bid of 53% on Jennings. I feel dumb.

Drop Kraft. Grab Tua. It will give you a chance to see how the Baker situation plays out.
I’m wary of Baker moving forward. Even before the injuries yesterday he had 3 picks and plenty of his results were garbage time. Which would make me want to hedge with Tua.

Kicking myself for dropping Jennings and Maye right now. I dropped Jennings for Tua and Maye for Fant.
With Tua, Darnold and Richardson how much do you bid for Maye?
I had Godwin so replacing him will be tough. Do you drop Godwin in redraft? No IR slots.
I think I’m giving all my FAAB this week.
Currently in first but losing Godwin really hurts.

Godwin is done for the year. Had surgery today.

I’m waffling in superflex on whether or not I want to spend any money on Russell Wilson tonight.
On one hand. He scored 3 more tds than my 3 rostered QBs combined this weekend.
On the other hand. I got nothing.

I think in superflex you gotta make an attempt.

FBG rest of season rankings have my 3 QBs ever so slightly higher than Russ. It’s like flipping a coin on all these bottom of the barrel guys, so I’m trying to figure out who holds the most consistency for mediocre results, and it makes it hard to blow some FAAB as I’ve been peppering QBs all year weekly when given the chance. I don’t even care about ceiling. My team is built to win if my QBs score a TD and put up 150-200 yards. But when they don’t, I’m screwed.
Hindsight is 50/50 but I grabbed Nix off waivers last week rather than Maye… and I’m kicking myself for it.
He had 3 TDs in his first game. Russ had 29 TDs in 15 games last year. I think he scored multiple TDs in all but 3 games last year. He did not have a game without a TD last year. He is better than people think. I don’t have him, but paying attention due owning Pickens.
