Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups (1 Viewer)

Daryl Richardson has foot in a boot
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(4:14 pm ET) Rams running back Daryl Richardson, who was limited last week, had his injured foot in a boot Wednesday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Richardson, who played Week 2, did not practice Wednesday as the team prepares for Week 3 at Dallas.

Snelling is the play while SJax is out. Quizz will remain in the COP role he is best suited for and has demonstrated time and again that he cannot be the featured runner.

Snelling on the other hand has beasted the few times Turner has been out the past few years and I fully expect him to be a nice 2-3 week fill in.

 
Is McGahee > than J Bell or dropping a 3rd WR like T Austin?

If I knew Gronk would be back could drop Myers but not looking good.

If you grab Mcgahee which RB are you dropping?

The guy in my league who was holding LeVeon Bell just ran to the waiver wire to drop him for McGahee. Not sure if I like that move.

:doh:

I mean, unless you have no viable starter RB's and are desperate, this is a good way to tank a FF season. You should be dropping back of the bench depth for someone like McGahee, if you need RB help. If not, stay the course with what you got.

ETA: Bell could be a instant RB2+ if he gets the keys to the Steelers backfield once he's 100%. Terrible move unless you're literally treading water at RB.

Actually, just looked at the rest of his roster: Trent Richardson, Ray Rice and Ahmad Bradshaw :lmao:

It's like his team just got hit by lightning.

 
I dropped Woodhead for McGahee in a 12 team PPR, to the person who asked what someone would drop.

I actually like Woodhead but think McGahee will see plenty of touches second half of the year.

I dropped Miles Austin for him. We'll see, I also own T-Rich. The hope is that McGahee will get enough value to trade for a better WR down the line, but who knows.

 
Some of the drops for McGahee here are mind boggling. You can drop handcuffs/non-flex options but anyone you would debatabley start should be off limits.

CLE is literally throwing in the towel which means your likely not going to be wanting to start any piece of that offense save Cameron for the foreseeable future.

With the recent news on Mendy's toe, I'd rather target Ellington anyway.

Team in my league dropped PIT WR Sanders for him.

 
2 leagues, both 12 man with 5 bench spots per...

league 1 - ppr

drop - kenny britt

add - vikings defense (before trich) - held pittburgh defense fwiw. giving them one more week/shot on my bench. homer here. i know.

league 2 - non-ppr

drop - rueben randle

add - willis mcg (after trich obviously)

-biz-

 
Josh Freeman was just taking up space. No brainer here, but no I don't expect Willis to make a huge difference.

 
If Richardson could not get it done running what do the people picking up McGahee think he's going to do.

I'm dropping L McCoy for him (just to demonstrate my ability to manage my team like the Browns). I'm 0-2 in that league and a game out of 1st.

A starting RB in the NFL has some fantasy value. He may be a RB4 at best but he should be owned. He could come in handy when the injury bug hits and bye weeks come.

 
The top waiver pickup is whatever good players are cut for Willis McGahee. People are panicking and not using their head.

Someone just spent 55% of his FAAB budget on McGahee in my $2500 league. :shrug:

unreal. It's probably equivalent to someone spending 25% on Brandon Jacobs.

so you think jacobs will get a bulk of the carries for the rest of the season

so you think cleveland will be a good running team the rest of the season. I guess you're right with their history, their qb, and the big leads they'll have.

i never said that. spending 25% on a back who is likely to get less than 75 carries this season is not the equivalent of a guy who could get 200+ carries for 55%

 
I got McGahee for 33% in one league. Saw Rainey go for 71% in one league and I got him for 0% in another, actually picked him up after FAAB went through.

I know right? Probably the top DB in fantasy right now. Wow.

Don't be too upset. Its a start 3 IDP any position league. Duke gets compared to LBers, not just DB's. He'll probably be on waivers next week anyways; gives me a week to sort out the McGahee situation.I actually am a bit concerned w/ nacho's injury situation, especially with the game being on Monday. Yesterday I had just picked up Trevathan as a hedge - cut Nacho instead of Threvatan today because of clean bill of health.

Also, this is a league where I went WR/TE rds 1&2; my best RB is CJ1k.
