I'm in desperate need of a bye-filler WR this week. Looking at these three....
A Perry NOS - Somebody has to catch balls in NOS this week.
G Dortch ARI - If Wilson is out, he seems to have some chemistry with Murray.
Tillman CLE - Snap count increased with DPJ going to DET. If Cooper is out, he becomes the WR2 by default, no?
I'll answer as I am in the same boat waiting to hear about Noah Brown and D Douglas' injury status:
Dortch on someones team or he'd already be on mine. Best option of the three.
Tillman has been balling and detroit is not great defensively. Leaning towards him if Brown and douglas are out.
AT Perry: If Jamieis was the QB this is a no brainer, but with Carr at the helm (who barely kept Mike Thomas functional and AT is the same tye of player) I just don't see it. I'd rather take a flier on a KC WR on the wire and hope for the best or a guy like Trey Palmer in Tampa. Maybe Wicks on GB if he is playing this week. (I just see a smash game for TEs/Taysom/ and Kamara in the passing game)
That's good info. Yeah, it sounds like we're looking at a lot of the same guys. I agree on Dortch being the top choice.... Unfortunately, I was outbid on him last night. Didn't put in a contingency choice as I'm waiting to see who's all playing this week. Next waivers run is Sunday AM, and there's only four teams left to bid, two of which have less $$ than I do. Sounds like Cooper will play, so Tillman isn't a no-brainer after all. I'm going to look at the NOS situation a little closer... You might be right. I like J. Johnson (TE) as a red zone threat more than anything else (not that he's available). Perry feels like somebody who will throw up a dud if I grab him, but go for 6/75/1 if I don't. Taking a second look at Palmer as well... His targets the last few weeks have been better than I realized.
I'm in the first week of playoffs, and with Hockenson and Flowers out, I'm one flex player away from a pretty solid lineup. Covering Hock's bye with Freiermuth (I was fortunate to grab him about three weeks ago), and I'm currently filling that flex spot with TE Hudson (CIN) in a TE-premiere scoring league (1.5PPR). Feels like this might be the week he drops off a cliff, but who knows. Taking a deeper dive at who's available....
K. Raymond (DET) @ NOS... Had a good week last week, but not very consistent. Too many options in DET.
D. Parker (NE) vs LAC .... Only if Douglas is out would I consider this. Even then, the NE offense/pass game is a total question mark right now.
S. Moore (KC) @ GB.... Another team with a lot of weapons/options.
N. Westbrook-Ikhine (TEN) vs IND.... Is he the WR2 in TEN? Even so... meh.
T. Irwin (CIN) @JAC... Had two decent weeks with Higgins out, then dropped to just one target (caught for 25 yds) last week.
Not sure anything stands out there. Taking another look at Palmer, Tillman, and the NOS situation as a whole. And probably DET and KC as well, just in case either of those teams have last-minute WR's not playing this week that might push someone else further into the limelight.
