Yes. He would have gotten the carries yesterday if he had suited up.

Berry is a ret*rd, his advise is more ofter than not misguided. Entertaining yes, but I don't tust his advise at all. He should stick to Baseball.
The dude that's on ESPN News on Sunday mornings (with Matt Berry, the "Talented Mr Roto") made a prediction today that Roddy White was going over 100 yards.Berry (
) said that if it happened, he'd wear a Roddy White jersey on next week's show.
This comes a week after Berry (

how do you pick him up on a game day ? Doesn't your league have waivers ?

Some don't. They allow FCFS moves at all times. I don't particularly like it. Ours used to be that way. The person/people sitting at home in front of a PC would have a huge advantage. Ours locks all moves during the games.Drafted Bowe but dropped him for someone else.how do you pick him up on a game day ? Doesn't your league have waivers ?

I'm in a yahoo league that allows FCFS moves at all times. Kevin Curtis was dropped last week for Randle El. I picked up Curtis at half time yesterday.Some don't. They allow FCFS moves at all times.

Roddy White.
Nate Burleson
Gotta do some thinking about Earnest Graham.
When you have limited moves, you really gotta weigh your options and save at least one or two until the end of the year. Might be too late then to find good pickups, but you can't have zero later on if you get in a pinch.

I picked up Roddy in one of my leagues, but passed on him (he was my 2nd choice) for Mark Clayton (someone had dropped him the week before). Now I'm sure I'll be in a bidding war if I decide to go at him, but need to decide who has more value.Will he be better than Clayton the rest of the way?Cleat Spike said:The perfect storm may be converging?

I wonder if Brian Leonard might be a good pickup?

Leonard = best pickup this week hands down.

Northcutt got some attention in last weeks waiver wire thread...I grabbed him over Randle El based solely on his targets...

Footballguy
Just noticed that Northcutt's bye is week 4, so if he's on your wire you may be able to wait on him and use the spot for someone else until next week...

Ouch.I snagged King on Sunday morning, after dealing Gates for SJax. There weren't many WW options, figured ATL would double Smith and someone had to reap the rewards. Imagine my surprise when King matched Gates output this week...

Leonard great pick up since Jackson could be out 1 to ??????? weeks.

In that order. Tough call, but I doubt I'll get one of the top dudes with my low waiver order spot...

Lance Moore was clearly the WR2 tonight for the Saints. Bye in week 4, but something worth monitoring.

Burleson has scored in two games in a row. Had 12 targets this week I think. Despite the fact that it came against Cinci, he is still a no-brainer WW pickup IMO.

Yeah - with Hackett out indefinitely and questions over Alexander's health, you just have to figure there will be a WR of other than Branch on Seattle. Just hard to decide which one - Engram or Burleson... or worse and more likely, a lesser combo of both.

Those of you picking up Roddy White... I hope you won't be counting on Roddy White.
He'll have the occasional nice game like yesterday against a struggling secondary, but mostly
he will drive you crazy with inconsistent performances and terrible hands. But still worth a flier.

Is Graham the clear backup, or is Pittman still in the mix?
ChuckLiddell
Footballguy
Maybe this will help...Targets on the season:Branch 23Burleson 21Engram 17Targets yesterday:Burleson 12Branch 7Engram 7Not that this is completely decisive by any means as much of it could have been determined by coverage packages, but if you are looking for something to tip the scales this might be helpful. However, despite the advantage to Burleson in targets, Engram has more catches and more yards thus far. If your league awards for long TDs, then I think that makes Burleson a better value. He has a much better shot at getting the long TD. Both of these guys are worth getting on waivers IMO.

For me, he'd be my WR5 after Steve Smith, Berrian, Curtis, and Jennings. I can always use depth... I agree he probably won't be steady, but then I don't think Engram, Burleson, Booker, or James Jones would be any more steady. Tough call on these guys...

Burleson also does kick and punt returns. For leagues such as mine that give points for return yardage, he's a very solid player thus far (over 10ppg in my league). Not many people are aware of this but he may be like Wes Welker the past two years. A few points off returns and a few points receiving make for a top 25 wr.
this is interesting:“You have one ball and we think [running back] Carnell Williams is a great back,” Gruden said. “I think he’s proven at times to be tremendous and I believe he has an unbelievable future ahead of him. [Running back] Michael Pittman has been given a lot of leftovers and rightfully so – he’s an outstanding football player. Obviously, now we have to put our minds together and figure out how to get Earnest more involved because clearly he’s also deserving of the football and that’s a good problem to have.”yea any TB homers on this board? is graham worth picking up and going to the back of the line on the waiver list....i also have caddy and pittman. dynasty league.Is Graham the clear backup, or is Pittman still in the mix?

I think if Caddy got hurt, you'd see a RBBC with Graham getting more of the carries.

Agree. People LOOOVE to knock Ron Dayne, and he's certainly no world-beater. However, I don't win my league last year without Dayne in the playoffs. Dude came up BIG at the end of last year. Laugh all ya want - Dayne can get it done, at least in spurts.

EXCELLENT post, Liddell. Appreciated. Burleson IS the higher upside guy of the two, and thanks for that homework. I haven't looked at targets yet. Two weeks as starter, two TDs. He's certainly worth a flier.ChuckLiddell said:

No, and I looked quite a bit this past week before dropping him. I do know that it's a high ankle sprain though, so even after he gets to the point where he's teetering between Questionable and Probable, I think it's still a good 3-4 weeks before he's effective.Thus, plenty of time for Burleson to take the WR2 job, but DJ also acts as a later season risk to make that WR2 job a platoon... That should lower Burleson's value to a small degree.

Is it Stecker or Pierre Thomas in Nawlins? I am a little leery about picking up any guy named Pierre that doesn't have a hockey stick in his hand.

Ya don't really need him though....my WR's are underperforming not my RB's. The season is still very young.EDIT TO ADD: At least my team is healthy. I would rather have health over "OUT FOR SEASON"By the looks of the sig, I'm sure you'll have the 1st crack at him. Good LuckThe Scientist said:
