Week 3 Waiver Wire (1 Viewer)

[zftcg]

I plan to pick up Austin Seferian Jenkins 

Dropping Hooper and keeping Charles Clay around

Actually, the real shark move would have been picking him up yesterday and bypassing waivers. I didn't do it because I'd prefer Watson, so I figured I'd take my chances with him and hope that ASJ is still around after that.

 

[Interseptopus]

Still have hope for the little speedster but he needs to keep ahold of the rock.

Agreed. They don't seem in a rush to get him in with their depth at WR, but they need a spark... their offense looks so bad. He could just be it. I can't buy with Graham's injury status, but if I could I would. I could dump Lee, and I just may, but that would hamper my WR depth if Ross didn't turn out. 

 

[ponchsox]

How do you guys rank these TEs: (non-ppr, redraft)

- Eric Engram

- Hunter Henry

- Ben Watson

- Jason Witten

For me Henry is ahead of those guys by quite a bit.

 

[Interseptopus]

I'm going for Henry myself. All 4 are available in my league. Henry is a TE1, the rest of those are TE2s... even Witten with how good he's been doing. 

 

[BobbyLayne]

Kearse is interesting

Yeah so much for the preseason predictions Anderson was a good value play.

In trying decide between Kearse, Higgins, & Nelson, seems like the little speedster is the best bet to break out. He's has good speed. The comparisons to Diggs are WAY off - he's small, but doesn't run crisp routes. But he's got opportunity on a team that will throw a lot & a decent aging QB.

Higgins is intriguing with Coleman out but not a great situation. Just can't see him being consistent.

I could see Kearse putting up a career year (for him) 110 targets 75-900-5 but that's his ceiling. Def feels like chasing points.

Debating the exact same 3 and see much the same way as you, GB.

 

[AtomicDogg97]

For people talking about picking up Watson at tight end, is that assuming guys like Eric Ebron or Hunter Henry aren't available?

 

[steelwind]

Please rank these ww TEs:

C. Brate

B. Watson

C. Clay

ASJ

Z. Miller

J. Thomas

 

[The Frankman]

Ricardo Louis is starting and Rashard Higgins will play the slot. I'd rank Louis over Higgins just due to athleticism and role. Not to mention Coates and Kasen Williams loom on the horizon and Cleveland seems to play alot of 2 TE sets. All in all, if you play FAAB bid conservatively on Higgins.

My interest in the Cleveland passing game ended with Corey Coleman's broken hand.

 

[Saboo]

Chris Johnson is the best rb in Arizona. Not saying he’s going to light the world on fire, but I think he’s a sneaky add that could provide rb 3/flex value

 

[Weebs210]

Not sure it is sneaky anymore. After Williams fell flat on his face with his shot CJ is worth owning. 

 

[icehouse]

Do y'all rank Henry ahead of Doyle for waivers in non PPR?

 

[The Frankman]

Do y'all rank Henry ahead of Doyle for waivers in non PPR?

I would. If the idea of Gates now having the record drastically reduces his role to mostly red zone snaps and Henry gets most of the between the 20s work, sure.

I think the sneaky play is to ignore the Cardinals RBs, except for absolute end of bench.  In dynasty leagues I wouldn't drop anyone with future upside for Johnson.

 

[CentralPA]

Do y'all rank Henry ahead of Doyle for waivers in non PPR?

Yes

 

[oddsbodkins]

Both Derrick Henry and Carson on waivers. Only have room for one in PPR and thinking of putting in for both at around 33% of FAAB. Should I go even higher for either?

 

[jurrassic]

The upside on Henry is so much bigger in my opinion

Yes.  Empty the bank for Derrick Henry.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I'd bet the whole season on Henry. 60% or higher.

 

[dagwood]

I'd bet the whole season on Henry. 60% or higher.

I think Henry will be a lowend RB1 the second half of the season.  I would pay as much as you think you have to in order to get him.  

 

[BobbyLayne]

Tedious WR4/5 stuff here....

This look about right?

1. J.J. Nelson
   
2. Jermaine Kearse
   
3. Mohamed Sanu
   
4. Rashard Higgins 
   
5. Tyler Lockett
   

I laid out my thoughts on Nelson v. Kearse v. Higgins upthread. Sanu is the 2nd WR in Atlanta, thought it's questionable how meaningful that is, and I don't really trust the Seattle passing game and Lockett in particular - he's teased before. We do get 0.025 pts per return yard (1 per 40.)

 

[Bad_Mo]

How would you rank these 5 guys...

Carson, Buck Allen, Kearse, Witten and Chris Thompson?

 

[jurrassic]

All personal opinion

Carson, Buck, Thompson, Witten, Kearse but it depends on your roster

 

[oddsbodkins]

I think Henry will be a lowend RB1 the second half of the season.  I would pay as much as you think you have to in order to get him.  

Debating on blowing all my FAAB between Carson and Henry and dropping Powell and Riddick. Even though this is PPR, seems worth it. Always that chance some David Johnson comes out of nowhere at some point this season but these guys seem worth the price.

 

[Crystalsteam99]

Is Jaron Brown worth rostering as well as a cheaper alternative to JJ?  He actually out targeted JJ Nelson 11-7.   I realize this all assumes John Brown being out for an extended period.

I could use a WR and trying to rank JJ Nelson, Jaron Brown, Kearse, Higgins, Hurns, Agholor

I like Jaron Brown at a fraction of the cost as Nelson. He had 11 targets and ONLY 4 were catchable balls,and he caught all 4.He is actually a great play against Dallas,as he will have the the least amount of attention payed to him.   If Palmer could of made better throws,Brown could of had 8 or 9 receptions and all this talk about Nelson wouldn't be as hyped.Nelson is a good wr to have and bid on and spend a waiver claim on,but you might not have to waste a waiver pick  or spend more than a buck on Jaron Brown, and can probably get him for free when waivers are done and free agents are available to grab.

Gotta go all in on Henry.

Holy crap, does JJ Nelson really weigh only 156lbs?  That can't be right.

 

[SameSongNDance]

I would sell my soul to have the opportunity to spend 100% of my FAAB on Derrick Henry right now.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I think Taywan Taylor is probably available in most leagues. 

Corey Davis tweaked his hamstring and I think he will get more playing time next week. 

He's looked outstanding in limited time so far. Once he takes over a starting job he won't be so cheap. 

What exactly is up with Davis? Is he going to miss time or be limited?

 

[NREC34]

I wish I knew. He got back in the game towards the end Sunday. @Bri probably be the guy who knows if anyone.

Well I happen to have Derrick Henry on my team and am in the market for a new soul.

Can i ask where you'd rank Paul Richardson on this list ? He's still on my wire, but I just don't like that O line and it seems like Lockett could become fitter each week and they'll just kind of kill each other's value

Yeah I have been looking into this one a little bit more and I think you may be onto something.  We only have a limited data set to go on but last year when they were on the field together during the first six games Jaron was utilized significantly more than JJ (22 targets for Jaron to 13 for JJ).  Additionally when you look at SSND's awesome utilization chart  it shows that even though Jaron did not get a target in week one he was on the field for 74% of the Cardinals snaps compared to JJ's 40% (Jon Brown was also playing in week one and was in on 84% of the snaps). In week two Jaron and JJ were tied at 76%.  Again it is limited data but it suggests that JJ and Jon Brown are competing for targets and Jaron's role may be more well defined.  So if Jon Brown ever gets healthy JJ may be the one to suffer.

Honestly you should ask someone else. I have a bias against 2-ACL WRs, and TSP has always been higher on Richardson than me. I wasn't impressed when he was at Colorado and he's done very little to change my opinion in his 4 year pro career. He's not big, he's not a great deep threat (4.40 years ago), I just don't get why so many have touted him forever around here. But give him props for that gritty TD Sunday (and I hear the fractured finger should be NBD going forward.)

 

[C-Bound]

How is Henry on any wire?  Didn't everyone know he would creep closer to the promised land this year??  That's not worth a late round pick??

 

[Bojang0301]

I want to put this in as small of text as possible but... has anyone thought about picking up Fuller?

 

[oddsbodkins]

Available in 24% of Yahoo leagues. Sure that'll be down to about 11% tomorrow. I'm pissed I didn't gobble him up for free last week. I just HAD to see if Powell would turn it around in my PPR league this weekend. Moron = me.

 

[ffinmyblood]

I know every league is different, but every time I come here and see some of the names available on people's waiver wire..I just can't fathom it..There is usually NOTHING available in my 16 team (keep 7) league.

It's cause some teams keep roster sizes that create a waiver wire.  My two 12 teamer have 16-18 players - that leaves some talent on the wire.  The shorter rosters are intentional

I guess there's some merit to that...we have 20 man rosters..Really don't need alot to be available on the waiver wire. It also encourages more trading.

 

[slicedbred21]

Drop Willie Snead for JJ Nelson?

 

[RushHour]

In a deeper league I'd take a look at Zach Zenner. Dwayne Washington got hurt last night, not sure if it will keep him out or not, but if it does, Zenner would move into the #3 role and would be in a position to get early down work if AA is inefective or injured. I thought Zenner did pretty well at the end of last season and they trusted him with big workloads.

I'll also repeat my Markus Wheaton suggestion from last week. Maybe waiving Gentry is an indication he will actually play this week.

 

[oddsbodkins]

Drop Willie Snead for JJ Nelson?

I wouldn't.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Something to keep in mind..

In the first half of the ARI game, Williams out touched CJ 8 to 3. CJ didn't get his first touch until 11:38 in the 2nd quarter.

From there on out, CJ out touched Williams 11 to 1.

I think it's pretty obvious where this is going.
