Waiver Wire Gems (Week 6 version) (1 Viewer)

Bryant Johnson.Also, you should make a disclaimer stating that you play in guppie leagues and it's only in those leagues that guys like Washington, Johnson, Herron, Baskett, and Hakim are available because there are apparently some members on here that are far above the level. I hear in one guys league the owners are so good someone just spent his entire bid money on Chuck Rogers!
Here we go again, wake up Woz.Noah Herron is available in MANY leagues.When Morency was dealt to GBay, manyowners dumped Herron as he was 3rd string at the time.now go back to sleep, Woz. :yawn:
I was making a joke in reference to some clown getting all high and mighty in the "waiver wire darling" thread. Of course I don't suggest that Herron should be taken in any "shark" league.
i was just about to call him out also, one of the best leagues i play in is one that has severe roster restrictions, so none of the above are taken. it does not mean that we don't know about them, though.
 
I'm going with Leonard Pope for two reasons:

1) The absence of Fitz may give this kid a few more chances to progress and catch a few red zone targets

2) With the lack of quality (i.e., productive) starting TEs this season, he's worth a shot in case he breaks through.

Leonard Pope is third on my list for bye wek replacement of Ben Watson.First is Des Clark - dropped last week by the Gates ownerm oibviously won't be on many WWsSecond is Troupe - just can't leave him on the WW.Third is Pope.Might even go with a zero from the TE spot - only two positions I can afford to swap out, and I need to take a shot at getting both Bryant Johnson (he is doubly good for me since I own Boldin) and Leinert (my QBs suck - BJohn, ASmith, McNair - I need upside).I'll likely miss on Bryant, get Leinert and end up with one of those TEs - I'll then have a spot to play with the next week when I have to get a b/u kicker for Wilkins.Really up in the air on what to do if I get BOTH Johnson and Leinert.
 
If you had the top priority, would you go with Bryant Johnson or Leon Washington?
Depends on your league scoring and yourt team needs.But, that is really an ACF query.In a vacuum, I'd go for Johnson if I needed short term starter help, I'd get Washogton if I wanted a guywho might be worth starting in a few weeks (I took Maurice Drew two weeks ago b/c I could afford to stash him on my bench instead of grabbing Jennings, whoh ah sbeen in his owner's starting lineup as his WR3 every week since).
 
If I'm holding Fitz, R Wayne, T. Glenn and J. Cotchery in a 1pt/10yd league that only allows a maximum of 4 receivers per team, where would Bryant Johnson fit in? :confused:

 
he doesn't, but I'd drop Cotchery - you have Johnson until Fitz gets back and then you make another move, or you have a safety net.

 
i will add Jerramy Stevens who was not drafted in several leagues I am in. There are several underproducing TEs out there that Stevens is a good risk. I dropped Troupe for Stevens in one 16 teamer. Can't do much worse ....

Is he going to play this week?I need a TE to cover for Watson and the FA cupboard is bone dry.

I nabbed Stevens in my Dynasty league and I am stoked. With the way that Ben Watson is performing, I am very happy to get Stevens.
 
So which WR do you go after first, Bryant Johnson or Hank Baskett?
Baskett certainly looked good yesterday, but McNabb is the king of spreading it around, so I'm not sure you can count on any of the Eagles' WRs to produce consistently. Fox showed the key graphic yesterday during the broadcast - - someone different has led PHI in receiving in each of their games. One thing you CAN count on is that Stallworth will be pretty much useless for the rest of the season, but I don't know that Baskett can be counted on to capitalize on that. Also, the Eagles' sked toughens a bit AND that secondary performance by Dallas yesterday was one of the five or so worst by any NFL team this season. One last note: in dynasty, I think Johnson is real gold.
Is this just speculation based on Stallworth's "history"? Last I saw he was "day to day" and might be good to go for the next game.

We're in similar boats, except I have the #2 WW priority. :bag: (Just kind of been unlucky so far.)Anyways, Des Clark was dropped in our league last week and Leinart and B.Johnson are still out there. I have Boldin so I figured I would go after Johnson, but Vick and Ben are my only QBs, so I am thinking now that Leinart may be a better bet than Big Ben from here on out. And while I'd like to have Johnson, I am not sure his 2-5 week stay, with me having Boldin, is more beneficial. I've got some debating to do before Wed afternoon.
 
Wed afternoon? We *might* have the roundtable out by then. Not likely, but we will be discussing Big Ben versus the three rookie QBs.

Won't give away any pay content, but I sided with Leinart over Big Ben from here on out.

What is the roundtable? I am a paying customer, and normally just look at the 250 forward.

Alexander still 'iffy,' but Stevens returns to SeahawksFROM ESPN

He's expected to take 30 snaps in the Rams game.

 
Marc - Nevermind. Just saw the roundtable thing for Thurday. I've never read it before. I will go back and checkout the past weeks.

 
The roundtable is fun - it's fun to participate and it reads well once Maurile puts his magic on it.

 
Regarding Chris Henry, if he serves as WR3, will he also serve as Rudi's backup or will that remain Kenny Watson's function? I realize its all speculation at this point, but I would like to get some opinions. If Perry is going to serve double-duty that would make him especially valuable to Johnson owners.
Is Perry officially off the PUP list? I think he is eligable to come off, but has he been cleared to play?

I think PUP is through week 6, so he's not able to play until week7. Then he'd have to be cleared to play.

I think Fitz is done for the year, as far as production goes. He will eventually come back, but in what capacity? He has either a hammy TEAR or BAD pull. That lingers on for a long time, usually has effects on the player if he tries to come back. Randy Moss....... those who had him the year he hurt his hamstring didn't know what to do with him week to week. He'd play 3 snaps, or just as a decoy, was never the same the rest of the year. THIS IS A BAD HAMSTRING INJURY GUYS, NOT JUST A TWEAK. Fitz will be more of a problem deciding to play him or not if you keep him around. Redraft: CUT HIM if you need the room for a replacement, he will be more than wasted space, he'll be a burden.
 
For those puzzling over Bryant Johnson as a fill in for Fitz...

The News

Cardinals head coach Denny Green is leaving open the possibility of using Troy Walters as his starter this week instead of Bryant Johnson, who would then remain the team's third wideout. "That's something we'll look at over the next couple days," Green told the Arizona Republic.

Our View

Johnson's fantasy value was on the rise after it was announced Fitzgerald would miss at least two games, but if he was to remain the team's third wideout, his value would fall. We'll keep an eye on this situation to see who Green goes with as his starter.
Probably just coachspeak, but there it is, anyhow.
 
Marc - Any reason why you are targeting Bryant over Leinart? Especially since Leinart is more long term than Johnson (presumably).

The main reason is that more people will be looking to add Johnson. I am organziing my WW priority for Johnson #1 (since he will draw more interest from my league, and because I think trotting out Boldin at WR1 and Johnson at WR3 is a great combo for the next month). Leinart #2 b/c I donlt think as many of my leaguemates will go for a QB - and if they do, it will be for abye filler, and Leinart faces the Bears.In short, there is no way I'll take Leinart 1st and get Johnson on the comeback with my 2nd WW pick - I *might* get them both if I get Johnson first.That's the extent of my thinking.
 
BTW, my third choice in my FIRST WW move after Leinart is Des Clark, then Jeremy Stevens, then Alex Smith.

My SECOND WW move is just Leinart and Des Clark.

If I luck into BJohn and Leinart, I go w/o a TE this week since I have no more roster spots to play with to grab a b/u TE behind Watson.

If I only get Leinart, from my first move, then the second move will get me Des Clark or nobody.

If I miss on both Leinart and Johnson, then my FIRST move guarantees I at least have a b/u TE to cover Watson's bye.

I wanted to make sure that if my first move gave me Des Clark, my second move wouldn't kick in to give me a THIRD TE.

In a small league would Stevens really be worth picking up? No denying his talent, but with all of those WRs will get get any looks (ala Jason Witten)?
 
I dunno, but I'm taking a shot - it can't be any worse in a non-PPR than having only Watson's 3 or 4 catches and 30-ish yards per week

Also, if you look at the Seahawks' roster, they are DYING for a receiver with size - all of Branch, DJax and Engram are 6' or under and around 200 lbs. hacket's their biggest receuiver at 6'2" and 199 lbs - not exactly an imposing red zone receiver.

Stevens makes for the team's best big target at 6'7" 265 - that is a Giant receiver among the smurfs on the team.

Scoring in the red zone could be geared towards Stevens with Alexander out.

Excellent points (as usual). :thumbup:
