Waiver Wire Week 16 (1 Viewer)

[Team Smokin']

Picked up CMike last week and may start him alongside Martin now that Shoelace is dinged and Yeldon may come back, and over Gore perhaps.

Rueben Randle has got to be seen as a potential WR #1 this week with Beckham most likely suspended.

Does anyone see anything in NE signing Steven Jackson?

 

[goldenchild]

What about vereen in PPR leagues? With Norman taking out OBJ most of the game Vereen saw a nice chunk of targets and put out a decent day.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Cameron Artis-Payne rushed 14 times for 59 yards in Carolina's Week 15 win over the Giants, adding two catches for 34 additional yards.
Mike Tolbert got the "start," but it was Artis-Payne who led the Panthers' backfield, out-touching Tolbert and Fozzy Whittaker 16-9. Artis-Payne showed far more juice than either of his teammates, and should be in line for the start if Jonathan Stewart sits again in Week 16. Artis-Payne is a recommended add if you're desperate for running back help for the fantasy finals. Dec 20 - 5:27 PM

Does anyone see anything in NE signing Steven Jackson?

Total shot in the dark desperation play, no way I'm going to start him. I don't think I'll even pick him up.

Why do people keep saying that Lamar Miller is in the doghouse? He hurt his quad and the Dolphins were hopelessly out of the game.

 

[Gottabesweet]

I'm not starting Lacy or Allen.

I only start 1 RB

Deciding between James White, Yeldon, C-Mike, Riddick in a PPR.

 

[Arodin]

Why do people keep saying that Lamar Miller is in the doghouse? He hurt his quad and the Dolphins were hopelessly out of the game.

Maybe because, based on his comments and reactions postgame, the quad injury was news to Lamar? He seemed to have no idea why he wasn't used more.

 

[JohnnyU]

Dwayne Harris is a great plug and play this week if ODBjr's appeal is denied.

So that means they are going to shut him down for the rest of the year?

Carpenter is coaching for his job, any job, he's going to ride the players he thinks give him the best chance to win. The most interesting thing I read coming out of last week was Carpenter saying he trusted his RB coach, which can be interpreted every which way including loose.

As an Ajayi owner I would love to see it but until there is confirmation that he is getting the start there just isn't enough information to insert Ajayi into a fantasy lineup particularly for a fantasy playoff game.

 

[bizkliz]

right now .5ppr. looking at:

kamar aiken

bilal powell

my michelle

dez, blue, and CAP also out there. aiken seems like the best bet to put up double digits with a chance for a score, but knowing claussen may be at the helm again makes me sad. powell also intrigues me, but reading alot of those catches came in 2-minute drills which are hard to bank on. cmike would be more desirable without bryce brown looming.

i honestly have no clue as ive gotten into my own head making this decision.

 

[DropKick]

right now without any further info this week my #1 pickup would be ajayi and it's not really close. sounds like the miller situation is getting ugly and contentious, and i think there's at least a 25% chance he's going to sit the last 2 games for one reason or another.

ajayi at home vs indy could win you your championship game.

On the flip side, I think there's a 75% chance that the Miami coaching staff continues to baffle everyone and Miller starts, gets the lion's share of carries, and trounces the Indy D.

Not sure why anyone would be so sure a Dolphin can "win you a championship", especially one who is not a clear starter. In my eyes, this team has no passion or focus right now. With the sudden plethora of viable backs available, I'm just not feeling Ajayi.

 

[packersfan]

I need a RB this week and the current Top 5 on my bid list are:

Woodhead (PPR league so I'm gonna gamble he's back in the offense with a good matchup. I almost certainly won't get him since the Gordon owner has more FAAB left)

Abdullah (Running well & matchup is great though he does need a TD to really come through)

Rashad Jennings (Back-to-back good games and Vikings can be run on)

Karlos Williams (If he practices fully tomorrow I'll likely move him up to second on the list but am concerned about this being a committee)

Then I have 3 guys who I keep going back and forth on:

Vereen (Never know if Giants will use him or not but if Beckham's out they'll need a lotta help in the pass game)

Michael (Worried about this being a committee and him being too TD dependent)

Donald Brown (Very well could move him up. Should be locked into 15 touches, good matchup and gets a little work in the passing game)

No offense kd but "ugly" and "contentious" are strong statements and indicate something far more significant than anything that has been posted in this thread, or on any major FF media outlet I have seen, so "being so sure" sounds like a credible description of your statement. Any information you have to support your contention of "ugly" and "contentious" would much appreciated. TIA.

How would you describe the situation in Miami? I'd say it's ugly from a fantasy perspective. You guys are taking two of his words and acting like he's claiming Miller is skipping practices and doing sit-ups in his driveway in a form of protest

Who is the 5th of your top 5?

 

[bizkliz]

For perspective (there is a third place game, so 4 teams on waiver wire), our .5ppr waivers went:

Cmike

Aiken

Bilal

Desean jax

Funny that Dez is still out there. Who woulda guessed that coming into 2015?

 

[Interseptopus]

No one made any claims in my league. I was able to get Randle.

CMike, Artis Pane, Vereen still out there

The situation in Miami is ugly but kd said "sounds like the miller situation is getting ugly and contentious" which is quite specific and not nearly the same thing as referencing the situation in Miami in general.

As an Ajayi owner I hope he is correct but all I am asking for is to see something concrete to support the specific statement kd made.

 

[Gottabesweet]

I was able to get James White, opponent got Powell.

Now trying to decide on cutting Lacy, Allen or Edelman for Cousins.

 

[stbugs]

Lots of guys mentioned that were rostered. Still mad DJax and David Johnson were on my team yet dropped (short benches deep at WR when DJax hurt and before CJ/Ellington hurt). Too low on WW priority. They'd be gold right now since ODB is suspended and Ivory is now garbage.

Thank goodness enough people are out of it (we play till week 17) because I got Michael and CAP. Donald Brown is also still available but I'd have to drop Ware. I'm thinking about it. I think Ware's ceiling is too high next week if West is hurt. Still not sure if Brown will really get a ton of carries over Woodhead and any goal line work.

Who is the 5th of your top 5?

Right now it's Brown but if ODB's suspension is upheld I might go Vereen.

Another guy I'm looking at is Antonio Andrews. Doesn't have a high ceiling but should be good for at least 8-10 points in PPR so I don't think he'll hurt you if you need him.

Is this a smaller league/short benches? I don't mean to be one of those guys, but only Michael and Brown are available in my 12 team 15 player deep (with at least one K/D) and they were available because they had done nothing until this week.

 

[packersfan]

12-team league with very tight roster limits.

Got it. Thanks.

Got it. Thanks.

Yeah obviously who's available will depend on your league. I was just going through the ones in my league hoping it might add to the discussion and get some feedback in case anyone thinks I'm totally nuts.

About these RBs, nothing else.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

did Michael get goal line carries? or were there any?

No goal line carries in the game.

However the closest run attempt from Seattle went to Michael where he made a solid gain from the 12 yard line. No other run from the Hawks came closer to the goal line than this one that lead to a pass TD.

--------

• 1st and 10 at CLE 12(10:46 - 2nd) (Shotgun) C.Michael up the middle to CLV 6 for 6 yards (D.Whitner; D.Shelton)
  
• 2nd and 4 at CLE 6(9:56 - 2nd) Doug Baldwin Pass From Russell Wilson for 6 Yrds S.Hauschka extra point is Good.
  

 

[Zow]

If you're in a tough spot at RB, I'd recommend giving a look at Joey Iosefa. Guy is 245 lbs, great athlete who can really run, has good hands, hits guys like Coty Sensabaugh hard, and is primed to fill the NE Blount role. He does have the Jets this week though, so that puts a little damper on the fun....

Yeah I thought about him but Belichik + Jets D makes him such a tough play.

 

[Ketamine Dreams]

Thoughts on grabbing Bilal Powell in ppr leagues? He's averaging over 20 ppg over the last three contests.

 

[Workhorse]

Thoughts on grabbing Bilal Powell in ppr leagues? He's averaging over 20 ppg over the last three contests.

Not only grabbed him, thinking of starting him over either Gurley or Forte. I think he's going to have a huge day at Fitz checks down when the Pats flood Decker and Marshall with safety help over the top.

 

[T J]

For what it's worth, the guys on Sirius Fantasy Sports channel were just talking about Kendall Gaskins beinqg the likely guy to get the carries for the 49ers this week. Apparently Draughns is unlikely to go and they say it's either him or DuJuan Harris and they felt it would be Gaskins.

I mean if you're desperate. Might be worth doing some additional checking on your own.

I don't need him but just grabbed him just in case they do say he'll be the guy and I want to keep him off other rosters. We play high points for the year (all 17 weeks) in addition to the playoffs and I'm holding on by the slimmest of margins to cashing on the points part of our payouts.

Your league sounds like mine. I'm barely ahead and have OBJ out. You get some money if you make it to the championship next week so winning this week means I'm in the money. I have to look towards next week as well. Seems like the top 3 for points is still up for grabs but as of right now I'm in first. That is twice the payout of the championship.

He has 8, 5, and 7 catches over the past three weeks. In PPR those are nice cheap points.

Any thoughts on Bradford this week and next? I have Taylor and Fitz but neither has good match ups. Fitz was great but I sat him against Dallas because his 3 straight great weeks were against bad pass Ds and NE is top 10. I want to keep Taylor as trade bait for keepers next year and I'd start Taylor this week. Just not loving his match up against Dallas. They've been solid against the pass as well and likely won't score much so not like garbage time pat week. Bradford has a must win this week and Washington will put up points and then they have the Giants next week which could also be must win.

 

[packersfan]

Any thoughts on Bradford this week and next?

I need a QB to replace Dalton (Start 2 league) and he's first on my list with Bridgewater second. I love Bridgewater's matchup but the Eagles seem a lock to throw it more and Bradford has looked pretty good lately. Plus with everything on the line I think he comes through and Philly win.

I'd definitely start Fitz over him if I had that option, though. I would expect him to throw it a ton against the Patriots so volume alone should help him deliver.

I'd definitely start Fitz over him if I had that option, though. I would expect him to throw it a ton against the Patriots so volume alone should help him deliver.

My only worry on Fitz is that he has looked great, but I think most of that is because of the Ds he's faced recently. I correctly sat Fitz against Dallas and NE is almost as good. I'll layout my thoughts:

Taylor - Dallas (#5 in my league, 15.1 ppg), NYJ (#13, 16.6) - Lost Woods and Clay may not play. Also, held to 11 against NYJ. If he has a lot of rushes, could be 15-20, but he's only had 1 really good game (20+) against a good D (NE), the rest were against bottom half Ds and Dallas is a top pass D (haven't let up a good game since Brady week 5 including Newton, Winston, Fitz, Wilson, Cousins and Rodgers), along with having a crappy O, so no shoot out/garbage time. The more I look, Taylor is definitely a no go, especially with Woods out.

Fitz - NE (#9, 15.8), @Buff (#21, 18.6) - Taylor just had 9 against NE. Fitz had 20 (pro) against NE in week 7, but only 1 QB (Eli) has had a good game against them since Fitz in week 7. Fitz has a lot to play for, but will NE score enough for Fitz to get in a shoot out. Fitz has been very consistent and great the 3 weeks before last week, but those 3 weeks were against the 28th, 29th and 31st pass Ds. I knew Dallas would be an OK week. I think NE could be the same. 15-20 points.

Bradford - WAS (#18, 18.1) @NYG (#31, 20.8) - Like Fitz, this is a must win for Bradford. Taylor had 27 last week against Washington and I think this will be a shoot out. Week 17 looks like a great match up, especially if Philly wins this week. Washington has let up a good amount of points the past 5 weeks. 20+ twice, just under 20 twice and 1 good game against Cassel. Week 17 looks like a great match up, especially if Philly wins this week. The Giants are just awful period.

I think Bradford has the easiest chance at 20+, which is a very good game in my league (4pt TD/1 per 25) and if they win this week, it sets up another really good match up in week 17. Maybe I am overthinking it, haven't pulled the trigger yet.

 

[Gottabesweet]

12-team league with very tight roster limits.

We are in the same scenario looking for RB's

I have Lacy and Allen - Short benches PPR - I don't want to start either.

I got James White and am starting him but FBG's has him RB20 - Allen is RB11 and Lacy RB38

Abdullah and all the others mentioned above are available. So curious who you are going with.

Do we have the same Roster? I lost Dalton - Been using Tyrod, considering Cousins or other WW QBs.

 

[Dezbelief]

Dallas D might get hypothermia in Buffalo, I live a couple hours west of Dallas and I believe it's only gotten below freezing 1 night so far.

 

[bcat01]

Anyone like Cousins? Eagles have one starting corner and the rest are backups.

No. I'd definitely grab him. Must win, receivers healthy and going against the Eagles. Only guy I'd consider is Bradford. I just don't like Taylor against Dallas. Not a must win, good pass D playing well against good QBs and going against a low scoring offense. No chance for garbage time.

We are in the same scenario looking for RB'sI have Lacy and Allen - Short benches PPR - I don't want to start either.

I got James White and am starting him but FBG's has him RB20 - Allen is RB11 and Lacy RB38

Abdullah and all the others mentioned above are available. So curious who you are going with.

Dodds is one of the lowest on White this week. White's average at FantasyPros is currently RB5 in PPR

So we should start him with full confidence?

Any thoughts on Bradford this week and next?

I need a QB to replace Dalton (Start 2 league) and he's first on my list with Bridgewater second. I love Bridgewater's matchup but the Eagles seem a lock to throw it more and Bradford has looked pretty good lately. Plus with everything on the line I think he comes through and Philly win.

I'd definitely start Fitz over him if I had that option, though. I would expect him to throw it a ton against the Patriots so volume alone should help him deliver.

Do we have the same Roster? I lost Dalton - Been using Tyrod, considering Cousins or other WW QBs.

I'd go Cousins over nearly every QB I would imagine is Waiver Wires now. I don't really trust him, especially on the road, but he is playing well and the Eagles' pass D is pretty horrific.

I ended up getting Bradford so hopefully this will work out.

Dallas D might get hypothermia in Buffalo, I live a couple hours west of Dallas and I believe it's only gotten below freezing 1 night so far.

Bro....was 61 here today and calling for 63 tomorrow.....been a very mild winter here.

i was listenging to Bloom's "on the couch" tonight and his guest was the guy from Rotoworld who does "the Worksheet". He brought up a real good point about looking at Cousin's actual away games. They played @ NE, @Car, @Dal in a bad spot, etc. He was also without Desean for a lot of it, and with Desean back he has been significantly better. In addition, Maxwell is probably out. As an Eagles fan, that isn't necessarily a horrible thing, but the options below him are pretty ugly. I wonder if Billy Davis will look to give the DBs help with the safeties and open up the door for Reed to have a good game too. As a Reed owner, i am hoping so

Cousins match up looks really good. I have Brady and am on the fence about starting Cousins. With Amendola possibly out and the Jets D not sure what to do.
