Weak 9 Waiver Wire (1 Viewer)

Just nod if you can hear me.....

I would think it's about time to grab Clay or Olsen, if not rostered and you have room.

I agree.  This may be the last week to do it under the radar.  Is there a consensus on which one is preferred and what are realistic estimates for either to return?   Generally speaking and historically, I would think Olsen is the preferred pick all day long but Clay was lighting it up this year.

Ertz owners should target Clay as he may play week 10.

Hasn't Olsen been diagnosed with a Jones fracture injury?  If so, other players who've come back to play the season they were injured didn't play well.

Danny Woodhead someone to think about?

I've been holding him.  It's been really quiet so no idea how he's progressing but I believe the target was week 11.  I think he's a solid stash.

I'm neutral on his future prospects at the moment.  Offense is anemic and he's an older RB with past injuries that seem to be mounting in frequency.  

I probably be afraid to start him due to injury concerns in the playoffs but would like to have him on my bench just in case to keep him away from the competition.   

 
Priority 1 - cover week 9 bye weeks as needed. 

There's some decent IDP available in my leagues but for offense  :tumbleweed:

Travis Benjamin maybe

 Deeper - Josh Malone

Does anyone think Andre Holmes or TJ Jones are worth picking up?

This looks to be the jump back on WRs we've dropped week. Robby Anderson, Marvin Jones, Jamison Crowder, Tyler Lockett, etc. If they were let go for low production weeks, now's the Time to snatch them up again.

Robby Anderson looks like a startable wr every week going forward

 
Need to pick up a RB to cover a bye week in 0.5 PPR. Debating between Darkwa and Buck Allen. Leaning Darkwa because the Rams' run D is their weakness, but could easily see that gamescript turning negative on him.

In my other league I'm all about stashing. Will grab Clay and Woodhead if possible.

 
Goodbye Slick Willie Snead, hello Robbie Anderson. 

Golladay still struggling with hammy issues. Woodhead eligible 11. Olsen should start practicing this week. New Bear Inman.  DeDe Westbrook.  Tyrod Taylor if you need a QB, 

 
Any value to Jamaal Charles/Dovantae Booker both available non ppr

Could cut Gallman and still pick up Charles today before waivers

Have Charles and keep holding while CJ struggles a bit.  Players with Bye week 9 may make that harder now and wanting to possibly cuff Gordon with Ekeler.

Going for JuJu dropping Funchess

Have JuJu, might drop Funchess for Corey Davis. I drafted Davis, not that hopeful based on his short term schedule. Nice stretch Weeks 12-15 but I think he's hard to trust against BAL, CIN, & @PIT.

Even if CJ is benched I don't think Charles will get more than 10 carries a game though 

 
JuJu, robbie anderson... JuJu being the one with the most upside... robbie anderson has proven he's a wr4 with his inconsistent production this year... the bryant falling out has opened the door for JuJu though.

WRs Robbie Anderson is currently outscoring in standard leagues:

Julio Jones

Alshon

TY

Kelvin Benjamin

Amari Cooper

Dez

Michael Thomas

Now Robbie hasn't had his bye yet, but you get my point. He looks to be more on the WR2/WR3 borderline going forward IMO.

 
I can't believe I'm writing this, but Dontrelle Inman may be worth the free pick-up AFTER the majority of Week 9 games have concluded, with the Bears on bye.

Inman was inactive on Sunday, and presumably he will have learned (the most conservative-ever) playbook for the Bears' Week 10 game.  Trubisky threw the ball 32 times on Sunday, and McBride somehow netted 92 yards, so it's not impossible.

Again, though, I would only do this as a free pick-up when you can drop someone else from your bench after seeing their results in Week 9.

You may be right but I'd be thinking McBride. This isn't exactly a passing offense that's desirable to have a piece of, but if you did McBride seemed like the best receiver out there to me. He got separation, he's got speed and lo & behold he and Trubinsky actually connected on a deep ball.

Yeah, i Would think it would be Booker taking the lions share.  If CJ can;t handle it, they got to find out if Booker can.

Very good points.  I read one analysis about Inman that emphasized how he managed to gain 800 receiving yards last year during Tyrell Williams' 1000-yard year.  A quiet 800 yards, but the author (Hub Arkush) really honed in on that point.

McBride is a worthy choice as well, as you pointed out, since he has actually managed to produce. Which is a true accomplishment on this team!

Boom/bust WR2 makes sense. 

 
I picked up Inman before this week's games. Now I'm debating trying to get McBride by dropping Lynch. Lynch has never started for me & neither will Inman or McBride, but that keeps them away from the competition.

I don't think he comes surging out of the gate. He's got the hamstring issue, which should result in him being eased back in, and then he's going against BAL, CIN, PIT in his first 3 games back. That's a brutal collection of pass Ds.

Drafted Robbie and Jones.....cut them both week 3 or 4. Added Robbie last week, but traded him for Mixon...but I need WRs. Story of my season.

 
Stupid question, but if Aaron Rodgers was dropped is it even feasible he's back in week 15 or are we all but certain he's gone gone? We've got an IR slot and I'm asking for others who might have him out on the wire as it seems like if GB isn't out of it, he might very well come back in the fantasy playoffs (weeks 15-16).

 
wire got a lot more interesting overnight, Calvin, Garrapolo and maybe Morris among them

I don't get why everyone is so down on Morris, how are the boys going to a back whos inactive half the time as anything more than a change of pace?

 
If Ajayi can't score any fantasy points in Miami, what makes people think a  lesser RB will? I'll pass on all of them.

Yeah, may put in a claim for Drake as a filer, but expectations are firmly in check.

Still, trying to remember a week where the WW was more impacted by events off the field. Since we all woke up Monday morning, Jimmy G, DMC/Alf and Drake/Williams have all suddenly become relevant.

He & Alfred Morris are going to share the work.  Dallas RBs have averaged a little over 30 touches/gsme. If you think McFadden will get 60% of that, that’s  around 18 touches

Don't forget Rod Smith.  The coach loves Rod Smith.
