So Drake London just got rage dropped. Kenneth Gainwell is also on the WW.
Do I drop any of these for one of the above?
RB Jaylen Warren Steelers
RB Tyjae Spears Titans
WR Michael Wilson Cardinals
I've been holding Spears as a lottery ticket versus Derrick Henry, but Gainwell could also be a lottery ticket versus Swift. Swift has missed 3 games in each of his first 3 years.
If that’s Al you have to drop I would drop Wilson for London.
Thanks, but I don't have Gainwell. I could drop Warren, Spears or Wilson for London.
Yeah I saw that and corrected it while you were posting. Who else do you have?
I could do Dotson, but he's locked since he's playing tonight. We have a short bench - only five spots.
Tough. I suppose Wilson, but he is trending up.
I absolutely know this will come off as argumentative and that is 100% not my intent but is one game a trend?
A lot of people are asking about this guy in the WSIS thread and I keep looking at his college and pro numbers and wonder what the argument in favor of this guy is. Who is his potential comp that makes thinking about last week anything other than an aberration?
Stash? Sure, 100% why not?
Start? Help me understand.
I’m one of the people who asked about whether to start Michael Wilson (I’m in a bind at WR) and I’m thankful for your earlier response.
To answer your question, one game isn’t a trend, but Wilson’s production has increased with each game. The only thing that wasn’t trending was the target volume.
Week 1: 2/19/0 on 4 targets
Week 2: 3/56/0 on 3 targets
Week 3: 2/86/0 on 2 targets
Week 4: 7/76/2 on 7 targets
Wilson can’t be trusted as a must start yet because we don’t know if the concentration of targets to him is a trend or not. It could very well go back down to 3 targets this week for all we know. But I also think it’s fair to say the arrow has been steadily pointing up for Wilson early in the season, with last week being the first spike. His college numbers suffered because of injury reasons, not for talent reasons. I’m with you though in supporting stashing but not starting unless truly desperate (for example, I’d start him over someone like Bourne but not over someone like Wilson’s teammate Hollywood Brown).
