In one of my 2 leagues I just picked up Desean Jackson. Chris Johnson is still out there too.
Pick Johnson up ASAP!!!!!
Dragon1952
Footballguy
Yeah, I actually already did grab him right after posting that...lol. I'm pretty stacked at RB (MBIII, Burner, T.Jones, LenDale) so I dropped Chris Perry for him. I've already got him in my other league.

Didnt Johnson leave the game hurt?

Cassell probably. Norwood perhaps, the Falcons are going to run a lot.
Weiner Dog
Footballguy
Briefly. He had a cramp.

Thanks for you contribution to the thread. What would we do without your expert analysis?

Thanks WD!

and just what was your contribution to the thread.....it was a simple question, i personally will not play in leagues that don't use some sort of WW process. being able to pick guys up why the games are being played is yahooish.looking at the rosario kid and fasano if he is available. desean jackson is another.

Johnson was gone before White in almost every league I'm in. Rosario won't be looking as sweet once S.Smith gets back.
I liked Fasano from the beginning. I thought he looked good with the Cowboys, but obviously wasn't going to get the targets in Dallas with Witten, TO, MBIII...

For sharks, this doesn't matter. They already have these guys in their lineups.

I'm sure it's yahoo. I play in a league with guys that live on the internet and in front of their Direct TV Sunday ticket...they will NOT vote to use waivers because they sit there and want to pick up the best WW guy immediately. It sucks for guys like me that don't have the time or access, but what can ya do?

Find a league that uses a fair ww system?

Might not be them refusing to vote for it, but rather refusing to have the league pay an additional $124.99 for the PLUS features that allow you to actually use normal waivers. I know one local league I'm in has used Yahoo since 2003...it's not the best obviously, but we're all used to the interface and we're not really cutthroat anyway. Upping the entry fee to $35+ to cover the added PLUS cost would push a few guys out - they're mostly playing to stay in touch with old college friends. We've talked about moving to a new site, but the majority feels comfortable with Yahoo and it's always easy to carry over settings from year-to-year...minimal work.There ARE workarounds in the free system, like having the Commish lock rosters on Sunday, etc., but you'd still have to do some added work to make a waiver system work.Not that it matters anyway. Vocal pro-waiver folks will always look down their noses condescendingly at non-waiver leagues, and never waste an opportunity to take a swipe at them - there's nothing that can be done about it. But it's my money, not theirs. *shrug* No skin off my back.As for the topic itself, most of the obvious ones have been mentioned already.I'm sure Bo Scaife, David Martin, and Robert Royal will be getting some interest from guys who didn't get a TE early.

I think a lot of Matt Schaub owners will be targeting Sage Rosenfels

Fleaflicker (and formerly AOL) is free and has a ww system. Even has free live scoring. You don't have to pay to have a better site than Yahoo.

McGahee owners should be looking at LeRon McClain. Ray Rice didn't look as impressive yesterday.

Are you saying this because of his performance or the number of shot he took?

Classy thing to do considering Anderson stepped in and helped turn that team around last season, it's one thing to want Quinn to get a chanse to start but it's quite another to rip the current QB who played very solid last season and earned that starting job.
CrossEyed
Footballguy
I think the latest is that his receivers need to catch the ball.

Exception: leagues with small rosters and short benches.

I hope Cleveland does start Quinn just so he can be exposed as the wasted draft pick he is.

Didn't he also look inaccurate and a little panicked in the pocket?
CrossEyed
Footballguy
He didn't look great, but he could have used a little more help.

From Fanball:
B Edwards dropped a sure TD.
Black Label Society
Footballguy
He had no time to throw, and Edwards dropped EVERYTHING he threw to him.
I know....I have EDWARDS.
I didn't know the guy has a problem with the dropsies.
But that was HORRIBLE yesterday. Dropped a sure TD bomb.
Had dig routes where the ball was on the money....right through his hands.
It was embarrassing.

yea, but these guys also make the panic cuts, and end up getting rid of guys based on one game, and end up regretting it later.
A few to consider:
QB
Cassel - No brainer
Pennington - you could do worse on a bye week depending on the match up
RB
S. Morris - lots of touches this weekend
D. Ward - looks like he really is the #2 and no way Jacobs is healthy all year
J. Norwood - should be on someones bench
T. Choice - If Barber III is going to be injured for sometime Tashard moves to the #2 back on a team with a great offense and OL.
WR.
B. Johnson - looked good after missing much time in preseason
M. Jones - looks like the #1 WR in JAx
TE
A. Fasano - Parcells loves TE's

Edwards was definitely rusty after missing so much practive. But the fact that he had two chances for TD's (the drop and the pass interference where Pacman tackled him before the ball got there) is a good sign for the weeks to come.

McClain is a fullback. On the one hand, fullbacks are RARELY productive fantasy players (and it seems like every year there's one guy who puts up great numbers in week 1 only to disappear thereafter). But on the other hand, Rice was very disappointing.I wouldn't be surprised if Baltimore gave P.J. Daniels a look.
Very true, my bad. I am in a deep league and sometimes you get wrapped into what 'you' are dealing with.
Utter Chaos
Footballguy
You're correct. I didn't see the game and don't know much about McClain. I was just looking at the numbers for the game. I just looked at McClain bio, he's 6'0" and 260 pounds!. If McGahee misses time could Rice/McClain be a poor man's version of Bettis/Parker? Seems like McClain could be a good bet to get the goal line carries. They didn't have any goal line plays yesterday but McClain did get 4 of the 6 "second and one" and "third and one" calls.TommyGilmore said:

A league that uses a WW auction cap.

Me too. I have Heath Miller, but I could use another option at the position.
Second to TO... guess the best receivers suck too. :(
I'm pretty sure Kevin Jones is Forte's handcuff.montana_grizzly_bears

Yeah last post on the week 2 monday updates is the waiver wire look. One of the added features for paying for a year.nukdog12 said:
