You might want to do more than just consider it. :rolleyes:
Normally I would have immediately jumped on Cotchery; however, I have a 16 man roster & cannot think of dropping anyone on my team for him (unless you recommend I drop someone from my roster for Cotchery).10 team/non-ppr/standard scoring

Roster

C. Palmer, J. Campbell, F. Gore, E. James, Thomas Jones, D. McAllister, M. Lynch, Chester Taylor, D. Branch, J. Galloway, C. Chambers, S. Holmes, E. Johnson, J. Hanson, Bears D, Packers D
I don't know how many backs you can start with flex positions and what not but Chester is obviously your weakest even if he is healthy. If you want to hold on to him, then its a tough call. I don't think I'd let go of any of your receivers yet, maybe drop the packers def. I have the Bears def too so you'll just need to pick up a defense for one week, I think week 9. I would pickup Cotchery though no matter what, he's pretty much on the same level as your other WR's so you'd be able to play the best matchups every week.
 
If Crayton's finger is going to be a nagging injury, I'll certainly look into dumping his #### to get 1) Roydell Williams2) Bobby Engram With Minnesota looking to be the real thing, I'll get rid of the Eagles that I had stashed for Mnday night and gun for a backup QB - Jeff Garcia as backup to Jay Cutler. I'm also seriously thinking of dumping akers for Folk just cause I won't have to bother scouring the waiver wire for a K till Week 9.
I read Crayton said he wouldn't even miss a practice for the finger. He said it will be sore and but shouldn't be an issue. I would look on to other WR's in your FA pool other than those two. Sure Roydell had a good game this week but no receivers on that team will ever be consistent with Vince Young. He's never going to throw for a ton of yards because he likes to run and that means you'll need a TD from Roydell to have a good week, otherwise its just hit & miss. Don't forget he did nothing in week 1. I actually dropped him after week 1 and I'm still happy with the decision, I believe my pickup was better, Shaun McDonald, and I don't think Roydell will continue to put up the stats he did today which were an average day for a good receiver. I have Roy Williams so McDonald is my injury precaution, although if he continues to play like he has he may make it into my starting lineup.
 
Early results are in at MFL...top adds so far this week:

1. Anderson, Derek CLE QB 29.84%

2. Wynn, DeShawn GBP RB 25.93%

3. Jurevicius, Joe CLE WR 8.82%

4. Texans, Houston HOU Def 7.51%

5. McDonald, Shaun DET WR 7.47%

 
12 team dynasty, PPR, QB, 2RB, 2WR, Flex, TE, K, DQB: B. Favre, A. Rogers, D. Brees, C. PalmerRB: A. Peterson (MN), M. Lynch, R. Johnson, C. Perry, K. Irons, S. Jackson, K. Jones, B. Calhoun, L. White, DeAngelo Williams, J. AddaiWR: T. Holt, A. Johnson, L. Evans, Roy Williams, B. Edwards, Vince Jackson, Mark ClaytonTE: C. Cooley, V. DavisD: Vikings, Broncos
Sorry to get off track, but how is that your team and how has the rest of the league not resigned already? Palmer and Brees? SJax, Rudi, Addai, ADP, MLynch....what!? Holt, AJ, Evans, Williams, Braylon....I only have 2 questions...are you sure this isn't a 2 team dynasty league and how is it any fun? Because I have seen a few teams get pretty stacked in a dynasty format but nothing like that, I would be totally 100% embarrassed about the quality of my league if I had a team like that. Unless the rest of the guys in your league are a little "special" and you're like their counselor/mentor, then I could understand, and that's very nice of you. :whoosh:

I want to respond to this but don't know how.
Not sure what to say to that one either... Was this before or after Cotchery played Sunday? either way, it's an odd move dropping 1a/ab on a team to pick up a 3/4.On the flipside, I have somone in a redraft league that put in a drop transaction McDonald to pick up A.Bryant this morning.must be something in the water..
 
what kind of leagues are these guys available in ... guess i am too used to deep dynasty type leagues where ever single one of these guys are on a roster
Thank you for your token weekly, "I'm in the toughest league ever and the 4th string running back from GB was gone in the 3rd round" post.Plenty of people playing in restricted roster, 8 and 10 team leagues and are quite content and intelligent. Climb off your high horse, contribute or quit polluting the thread.

I have Julius Jones as my RB4 and am considering dropping him outright to pick up Kevin Jones (if i can't move him for something). The lnly problem is that my RB1 and RB2 have the same bye week on week 4 and Kevin Jones goes up against the Bears that week.

 
1. Derek Anderson - Obvious, if he uses all those guys on a regular basis

2. DeShawn Wynn and V. Morency (if available) - D. Wynn has been GB's playmaker at RB (2TDs and an excellent catch and run in week 1) and if you have space grab Morency if available. I have a feeling B. Jackson may be a 3rd down back.

3. Texans Defense - Ovelooked

4. Nick Folk - Cowboys will score alot

 
Forgot one -

5. Reggie Williams (not even on the footballguys waiver wire upgrade/waiver wire list), but too much talent and had a pretty good week 2 after being held out of play on week 1.

 
What do you guys think of Dayne? He's available in my 12 team league, 18 carries, didn't do much with them. Would drop Crayton.
WDI p/u doesn't fly, but this one's a freebie (it's a simple cut and paste from every Ron Dayne thread ever)do not pick up Ron Dayne.
Depending upon how deep your roster I disagree with this. Dayne is clearly the RB2 and one who is getting significant carries. If Green gets hurt, he will be in line to be the starting RB in a very productive offense, and one who did very well with that opportunity last year. At worst he could be a fill-in starter who might score a TD.
 
I know they've been mentioned, but I'm thinking about the Texans Def/ST.

They've been very active so far in two games, and after this week game vs Ind, they have ATL, MIA, JAX, TEN. Not exactly teams that light it up and hold onto the ball.

Also have games against OAK, CLE and TB on the schedule.

Could be a nice spot start team in leagues that have to draft 2 DEF/ST and didn't land one of the highly projected teams.

ok
 
I think someone should make a poll between Anderson and Wynn. I think it's too close to call, I think one will be the surprise of the season while the other isnt heard from very much.

I'm going with anderson just to let it be known. That Oak;land pass D next week, I think the good times continue to roll atleast for one more week. Screw Dree Brees, Anderson here I come

Looking at the WR's on the wire:

Booker

Avant

Engram

Northcutt

Stokley

White

Hurd

Roydell Williams

Which does everybody like best? I am leaning towards Booker or Engram.

I like Roydell Williams for his schedule near term and the lack of anybody else for Vince to throw the ball to.

They go VERY WELL w/ MN for a few matchups and the bye week filler. Solid late round DTBC combo performing great thus far.Anyone have thoughts about Glenn Holt filling in the Chris Henry role till week 9??? Tab has done NOTHING w/ his opportunity and is dinged yet again.I don't know much about the guy, i.e. why he didn't beat Perry out in TC, college performance, etc. TIA
