He's old, he might break down, had a lousy outing, it was the Cards, yadayada, but I don't get the disrespect for AP that's around generally he's one of a handful of workhorse RBs who will get loads of work no matter what, they don't grow on trees.gruecd said:
I like Breida. All he does is produce when given the chance and he is on the upside of a committee and is the best pass catching back they have. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Mixon only misses one game and my best guess is he misses two. After that Bernard is waiver wire material again.
I'm not saying you should dislike Breida, but you shouldn't think he's their best pass catching back. He's not. He's awful. Probably worse than even Morris at that. He's probably the worst pass catching back they have.
I'd vote for Gio Bernard, but if you went zero rb or have injuries or whatever, both these guys are a godsend this week. I'd be thrilled to land either of them.
Of course he can. And if/when he does change so should my opinion. Until there's clear evidence he longer is terrible at catching passes, the default position should be he still sucks at catching passes.
The burden isn't on me to change the narrative. It's on the person who is claiming there's something different from what he's proven to be.
The two game sample size is too small to draw any consclusions.
uh, Doctors/team saying 2-4, minimum.when has a guy ever done just 2-4 in this circumstances? they always go longer like 4-6 weeks..Coleman just torched Carolina for 100+ yards on a limited number of carries..what was it 16-107.expect Gio to do the same if not more.plus catches.
2-4 weeks. Not 2-4 games. People have been conflating the two. Normally it's pretty much the same, but considering he had a Thursday night game, it's possible he could be back after missing only one game.
I went big at $57. $250 starting. I like the passing offense this year, hope he can keep getting better.
Wow he went unclaimed in both my leagues. Guess I should look into him.
There are only 5-7 guys that would be near feature backs if an in injury occurs - Anderson seems like one of those guys. He's a must stash, imo.
This is every year. Handcuffs more often than not seem to come in and do better than the starter. Buck Allen vs Forsett a few years ago. Hightower, Shoelace a few years back. Drake last year. Murray was a legit RB for Cook. The list is endless. Handcuff!
Handcuffing rbs make sense for teams with a lack of depth at rb. Otherwise I prefer to hold upside players on my bench, especially in dynasty leagues.
Last year was the first year I ever remember a WR having a good year in an Alex Smith offense.
Solid point. Also, saw Callaway was still available and chose him over Garcon, Boyd and Ginn. Why not? Good stash for later in the season when Baker takes over.
As long as we're showing cards here outside the AC, how do people view Garcon versus Boyd?
I would take Garcon as the more solid floor play. I just don't trust Dalton enough I suppose.
Personally, I like Callaway over both (& Ginn - too many mouths to feed), but as far as Garcon vs. Boyd:zamboni said:
Good thoughts - thanks. I tend to agree regarding Garcon - he may have the rare big game, but probably only if Garopolo throws the ball a ton and he gets his share (like maybe this weekend versus the Chiefs). And with Kittle and the impending return of Goodwin, the targets are not probably going to be there like they have been in past years.
I'd go James from this group. I'm a little surprised James is being overlooked.He has 5 targets two games straight which is pretty good for a TE and obviously he's been doing a lot with the catches. And he's got a TE friendly matchup this week.
how big a league?
Djax is on the waiver wire? Is that a 2 team league? He's the #2 scoring WR in 0.5ppr.
Seeing Austin Hooper quite a bit. Five or six targets for forty or fifty and a possible touchdown is nothing to sneeze at coming from the TE position.
My point was this is the waiver wire thread, not the assistant coach forum nor the ask bloom thread.
We're aware.
An odd way to try and make said point unless you also wanted to out yourself as a DB. If that was the case, well done!
For my league I am monitoring Tyler Boyd, Chris Godwin, John Brown, Geronimo Alison and now Callaway is on my radar too.
I agree Edmonds looks promising, but it’s not due to overwork of DJ. Through two weeks, he’s barely touched the ball.
