Boy he shouldn't be; I do remember that FBG had a write up on the upcoming PIT TE that was Heath's replacement, and that he was a good stash, but I believe he got hurt (I would love to remember his name) - after he was out of the picture PIT kinda recommitted back to Miller. I think the only TE that is on the WW is Rosario, with possible long-term value, and that depends on how "done" Gates is.
Spaeth?
to me this all depends on Bush's injury....if Bush is really hurt I'd say Miller is #1.
Miami may not be "high caliber" across the boatd, but they CAN run the football effectively. I opt for Miller. Can make things happen from anywhere on the field, on any given touch.
That is a solid pick right there; Jacoby Jones looked good last night but he has to be in WR4 range long-term.
Maybe but I don't think so. I thought whomever I'm thinking of was a rookie at the time; he would be a second year (or possibly a third year) player now.
I passed on Jacoby last week but will probably dive for him as a WR 4/5. Zona defense if still available'pittstownkiller said:
He is somehow available in my big $$ league (12 teams)...don't ask me how, but he is my top priority for me this week. Big Ben has been quoted as saying he wants to get his TE to the Pro Bowl this year. He may be available in 10 team leagues, or 12 teams if he has slipped under the radar. If he is available in anyone's league, I would be rushing to pick him up this week.'pittstownkiller said:
Depends on the team - if you need a one week filler probably Choice. If you don't need a filler and are just looking for upside it's Hillman or Miller. I lean Hillman because of the stronger offense. I'm probably not picking up any of them, my problems are developing elsewhere and unfortunately the waiver options on first glance look bleak - may be looking to trade my RB depth to fix other problems.'JHuber77 said:
And his TE (on mobile during lunch,can't remember his name) looks like a productive bye week filler.Kyle Randolph, if he hasn't been mentioned, is another bye week filler who probably is available in shallow leagues.
Yeah maybe there should be 2 different versions of the thread one for shallow leagues and one for deep one. WW strategy is so different depending on league size.
Who is this Randolph guy you speak of?
He's serviceable. He put up decent enough numbers in Dallas and last week he stepped in and did ok.There is nobody on the team they will play ahead of him for at least a week or two. He is not a season long starter, but will definitely put up decent numbers for 2 or 3 weeks if you need him to. Ideally he's a bye week filler.
Palmer is available in my league as is Ponder. Who's the better call here? Ponder looks much improved from last year, but Palmer is putting up decent numbers in fantasy (including tds). Need someone desperately as I have Rivers and Freeman (although Freeman is packing his bags).
I have Palmer as my backup QB, and am going to try to pick up Ponder to replace him as a backup to Vick. I figure with Jerome Simpson coming back, Harvin and Rudolph, Ponder's upside is higher than Palmers. Given that almost all the Raider WR's (Moore coming off hammy - healthy, DHB-neck & concussed, Ford-IR, Criner-ankle, Streater-eye, have something or other, and even their starting TE Myers is concussed.
this was my situation as I also have rivers. Ponder was already rostered. I just picked up palmer and am debating playing him over rivers this week...
Probably not until Friday, if Hill is the guy he's a top 15 QB, maybe top 10 given the matchup.
Collie is now out for the year. Avery should benefit the most. But Hilton may be worth a speculative add at this point.
criner is coming back from injury. is he the guy to own out of the 3?
Avery played a lot more snaps, Hilton's 3rd in WR pecking order and depending on the matchup may be behind Allen and Fleener too,.
BUT .... Myers was hurt yesterday - not sure if concussed but need to monitor b4 thinking he is the TE to add this week
Even in non-TE required leagues?
Avery was used as WR2 and Hilton as the slot recv.Hilton was used on returns.
Maybe not but it would depend on parameters. A guess but I would put Heath at the 8-15 TE level; maybe higher with Witten, Davis, and Gates struggling.
THAT is not clear at all.Moreno was a healthy scratch yesterday (and I don't know if there was a reason or what it might be) but to me if McGahee can't go it looks like a committte with Ball, Hillman, and Moreno
Link? Saw earlier today it was probably Morgan since he was playing Z and Hank was in the X.
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan stated Monday that Leonard Hankerson has played well enough to earn a full-time starting job going forward.Hankerson will start at X receiver until Pierre Garcon (foot) returns, and then likely kick over to Z receiver, replacing Josh Morgan. Although Hankerson didn't light up the box score in Week 3 against the Bengals, he secured four of his seven targets for 56 yards and was an impact blocker in the run game. Through three games, Hankerson has six grabs for 124 yards and a touchdown. He should be owned in the heavy majority of 12-team fantasy leagues.
I'm going to go with the dark horse... Reynaud. I already have him rostered in a return yardage league, and without carries he's producing well since he's been dynamite on special teams. In the preseason Reynaud had some good carries and caught some passes out of the backfield. Ringer will probably get carries if they turn away from Johnson, but Reynaud will get targets and he has the explosiveness to break a few and earn himself a bigger share of the work if he starts getting the ball outside of special teams.Granted he's quite a dark horse, so it probably isn't a pressing need to roster him any time soon, but keep an eye out for it.
Just a heads up, no TEN RB will be able to run behind that OL. Ringer did some nice things vs. lesser rush defenses last year (so did CJ), but he looked just as ineffective.I do like Reynaud as a speculative add in deeper leagues that reward players for KR/PR yards. He also has the infamous WR/RB hybrid tag in yahoo leagues.
I find this hard to believe, especially the last part.
He'd start opposite Garçon.
Not for Garcon, Hank would be moved to Z position...
You're right, he was concussed late in the game. I did not know that, thanks.
