Week 4 waiver wire pickups (1 Viewer)

[socrates]

Which RB is the better PPR grab? Rawls, Dunbar, or Andrews?

Antonio Andrews has the most feature back potential, but so far the Titans' RB position has been a revolving door. They are off next week then get Buffalo, so we may not know much for a few weeks. Predicting the Titans' RB rotation may prove difficult all season. Andrews is about as likely to get you a zero as he is of becoming the lead back in Tennessee.

Rawls' value hinges completely on the health of Marshawn.

Dunbar is the one I would most trust to remain a part of the offensive plan for his team. Through 3 weeks, he is on pace for over 100 receptions. I don't believe Dunbar will hold up to that type of continued use, and he may disappear some weeks, but he is an exciting talent who should be rostered in PPR.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported Ben Roethlisberger suffered an MCL sprain Week 3 against the Rams.

An MRI showed no damage to his ACL, but Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reported he also has a bone bruise on his knee. Roethlisberger will miss at least four weeks, but ESPN's Adam Schefter was told it will "probably" be six weeks. Either way, it could have been a lot worse. Michael Vick will start with Roethlisberger sidelined.

May stick with Tyrod Taylor until Ben is back.

Why Vick?

Hopefully the offense being as good as it is will elevate Vick...Also, not sure what year but it was (post suspension for dog fighting) Vick had a great year. That year I am thinking, I am not sure if he opened the season as the starter or ended up that but I lost a matchup against some crazy Monday night performance.

He had a 100 QB rating in 2010, which is quite a while ago in football years...

Rishard Matthews

comb my hair will ya?

 

[jtd13]

Dorsett might be worth a pickup if available. I can't see how Andre remains their wr3 for long.

 

[Nero]

Teddy Ginn if he is still out there, it is 3 solid weeks in a row. He seems like a pretty safe WR3 as we approach bye weeks. Rishard Matthews has had another start worthy game as well. If people weren't buying in after 2 weeks, they better start

Started him in a couple leagues this week. If Cam hadn't slightly under thrown his long pass, he would have a 100 yards and a TD.

[Fat Nick]

tyrod taylor for big ben owners

i dont understand how people dont draft a quality # 2 QB in case things( Injuries ) like this happen?

I almost never draft a #2 QB or a #2 TE unless I'm going the QBBC approach. If I get a good QB, I just ride them...The way I see it, After the top 10 QB's, the odds of any guy panning out consistently is a crap-shoot. I'd much rather grab a WR/RB in a positional battle and hope he pans out, and take my chances on the WW or FA for a back-up if needed.

Flacco's my backup. I'm not sure if I would call him a quality #2 FF QB though

 

[BobbyLayne]

Charles Clay vs the Giants this week

I liked him a lot in Miami but they moved him around a lot. I haven't seen Buffalo doing the same thing with him. They should, he has great mobility for a TE.

It's possible this week is a portent of things to come, but I think it was just Rexy sticking it to Clay's old team. He basically has the maturity of a 12 year old, that was classic Ryan getting him involved early. We'll see if it's a trend.

This is just my two cents... But IF me and Fat Nick both don't have secondary QB's, it makes the WW look that much better.. This probably makes more guys forego the extra baggage..

(Im not sure I agree so much on not having a backup TE) But, Ive played flex TE/WR for quite some time..

I have Cam as Ben's backup, but Cam has a bye in week 5, so I'm still going to have to pick someone up after week 4 now that Ben is hurt.

So is Tyrod. The top QBs in my 6 pt TD league are Brady, Dalton, Palmer and Tyrod. Cam, MM, Bortles and Carr are all in the QB1 mix as well. This was not the year to take a QB early.

I've got Gronk at TE...no flex. Basically, I'm NEVER starting anyone over Gronk, so I'm not wasting a roster spot for a TE I'll start once.

I'd say about 1/2 of the teams in my league carry back-up QB's...so I can get somebody tolerable to play QB for 1 week.

Have Bell, AP, Charles, or Lacy been bad so far? (aside from Lacy's injury)

 

[ponchsox]

Also Gates if he's still out there in your league.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I'm the only owner in my league without a backup QB. Much rather stash a Matt Jones, David Johnson and Travis Benjamin than waste a spot on Kaep or some other scrub.

Tannehill is on bye Week 5. I'm probably a week late on TT. If I miss him - likely, I'll have the 11th or 12th priority as it's based on Standings - I'm looking at this garbage pile:

Bortles

Winston

Mallett

Foles

Cousins

Smith

Weeden

McCown & McCown

Probably Alex S @ home v. CHI if I miss TT.

Yeah, I wish I grabbed Palmer after week 1, but wasn't really thinking about it. I have Alex Smith as my backup. I think I just based it on the DD SOS for Ben's week 11 bye. Going to grab Vick and see who else is on waivers. Unfortunately, this is a 20 player roster league so crapola on the ww.

ya that makes no sense. seems like the perfect year to take a rb round 1 (besides anderson)

If you were looking at the top QBs, then according to DD you were likely looking at RBs like Forsett, Anderson, Lynch, McCoy, Murray, Miller, Ingram, Morris, Abdullah, Spiller, Ellington and Gordon. So, in that respect it makes a lot of sense. You weren't choosing between Luck, Rodgers and Bell/AP/Lacy. Only Charles was going a little later and in some cases right at the start.

ETA: I went late in 2 of 3 leagues (kept Roethlisberger for a 10th in 1 and last to draft QB in 1 (Stafford/Taylor)) and honestly I still like my pick of Luck in the 3rd. I didn't like the RB options (Hill, Forsett, McCoy and Miller) and I took OBJ in round 1. Only AJ might have been better, but he's had 1 great game and 2 just OK. I like AJ, but the next WRs were Cobb, Calvin, Hilton, Jeffrey, Cooks, Evans and Adams. There have been a ton of misses this year in that late 1st through 3rd.

Not really. If you have an early pick and took a charles/bell/Ap/Lacy type player, then you likely may have considered Luck, Rodgers, in rounds 2 and 3. I don't think they're commenting on the bust rate of early round qbs, but simply on the hit rate of late round qbs. Having Palmer, Taylor, Dalton, Brady etc who you likely drafted late, and picking up an extra early/mid round pick seems to be paying off for MOST teams that did that.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

My league mates, and especially the Pittsburgh Team QB owner, is glad our league switched to the TMQB position this season for just this reason. Don't have to scramble to find a fill-in --10-team league, min/max 3 TMQBs per team -- unless they really want to.

Really. Here is the top 15 in ppg (to include Bell and Charles) in my normal PPR league:

Bell, Le'Veon PIT RB
Freeman, Devonta ATL RB
Charles, Jamaal KCC RB
Lewis, Dion NEP RB
Ingram, Mark NOS RB
Murray, Latavius OAK RB
Peterson, Adrian MIN RB
Randle, Joseph DAL RB
Forte, Matt CHI RB
Hyde, Carlos SFO RB
Ivory, Chris NYJ RB
Woodhead, Danny SDC RB
Williams, DeAngelo PIT RB
Dunbar, Lance DAL RB
Bernard, Giovani CIN RB

I see ADP, Forte, Charles and Bell. I don't see Lacy, but I also see just as many late or mid round RBs as the QBs you mentioned. I don't count Brady. He didn't go late in leagues after the suspension was lifted, but there were a lot of drafts (2 of my 3) before the decision. We could do this for every position. My point was that going Rodgers/Luck in round 2/3 wasn't really a bad call. Luck will play better and there were a zillion land mines at the other positions and plenty of later RBs/WRs that have played well and likely will continue.

Brady even post suspension lift was ranked on here like QB13... he was still going fairly late, after round 8 in most drafts.

Either way, maybe luck/rodgers weren't bad calls, but the Romo, Brees, Ben, WIlson, Stafford, Tannehill, Eli, Bradford type who were usually the qb3-10ish or so are all not doing so well. Not saying it was a bad DECISION to draft these guys, as this was unpredictable circumstances for the most part, but those who DID wait until late and drafted or waiver wired guys like taylor, palmer, dalton, (brady in some), etc are looking to be in great shape

For thise looking for QB help, Derek Carr has a juicy matchup with Chicago in week 4.

I don't believe Dunbar will hold up to that type of continued use, and he may disappear some weeks, but he is an exciting talent who should be rostered in PPR.

Andrews was named the GL back this summer. He hurt his hammy but they were 100% in preseason so I don't think he lost that role.

Of the Titans and this goose-egg fear (which I understand totally) I would say he has the best chance at 'something' with the GL back role. Carries and yards, totally debatable.

Dunbar lines up wide and did so before injuries so I don't see how that's lower with injuries. They are not signing or trading for anyone signficant. KC's Fred Williams is the only PS guy who could contribute right away for Dallas but they won't listen to me and steal him from them...as if. I think Dunbar is getting curiously exposed as not a good runner though.

Fred Jackson is a bigger issue here than Rawls owners want to admit. They signed the ol guy that used to backup Marshawn in BUF for a reason. Marshawn rarely misses full games and I think Michael and Turbin should have taught people to stay away here, fools gold.

PPR gotta go with Dunbar here.

Don't like the bye with Andrews. If they played next week, I'd say grab n stash see how he does. Don't rush to have someone on bye

Christine Michael is still the best to get a chance and run away with it, but will he get that chance?

Ivory missed a ton of time before 2014. I do like the Powell pickup n wait thoughts

Can we stop with the Christine Michael stuff? Dallas's running game looked just fine without him yesterday.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Im starting to think Theo Ridick is worth a pickup in PPR

The most productive games for him are game flow dependent. He is sure handed so when they're down late (every week so far) Stafford is locked on to him. Very similar to Thompson TNF for Washington.

Dallas/Dunbar and Philadelphia/Sproles might be more consistent. If the Lions are up and the offense is clicking - hey, anything is possible - he might have 2-3 touch weeks.

Next two weeks (@SEA and home v. ARI) he might be a sneaky start.

 

[iamkoza]

Why Vick?

Hopefully the offense being as good as it is will elevate Vick...Also, not sure what year but it was (post suspension for dog fighting) Vick had a great year. That year I am thinking, I am not sure if he opened the season as the starter or ended up that but I lost a matchup against some crazy Monday night performance.

2010, Vick came in after Kolb concussion and took the job. Destroyed Washington on a Monday night with an epic FF performance.He was 20/28, 333-4-0 with 80 yards rushing and 2 rushing TDs. So many games changed hands that week based on one performance.

Vick is 35 years old. With so many other qb options available, Vick didn't seem worth faab to me in 1 qb leagues

I don't believe Dunbar will hold up to that type of continued use, and he may disappear some weeks, but he is an exciting talent who should be rostered in PPR.

Andrews was named the GL back this summer. He hurt his hammy but they were 100% in preseason so I don't think he lost that role.

Of the Titans and this goose-egg fear (which I understand totally) I would say he has the best chance at 'something' with the GL back role. Carries and yards, totally debatable.

Dunbar lines up wide and did so before injuries so I don't see how that's lower with injuries. They are not signing or trading for anyone signficant. KC's Fred Williams is the only PS guy who could contribute right away for Dallas but they won't listen to me and steal him from them...as if. I think Dunbar is getting curiously exposed as not a good runner though.

Fred Jackson is a bigger issue here than Rawls owners want to admit. They signed the ol guy that used to backup Marshawn in BUF for a reason. Marshawn rarely misses full games and I think Michael and Turbin should have taught people to stay away here, fools gold.

PPR gotta go with Dunbar here.

Don't like the bye with Andrews. If they played next week, I'd say grab n stash see how he does. Don't rush to have someone on bye

Christine Michael is still the best to get a chance and run away with it, but will he get that chance?

Ivory missed a ton of time before 2014. I do like the Powell pickup n wait thoughts

Can we stop with the Christine Michael stuff? Dallas's running game looked just fine without him yesterday.

yeah he is pined unless McFadden and Randle get hurt, and even then who knows how he will look

IMO - you are both off base on this situation. Randle is going to look more like second half Randle from yesterday than first half. And second half was not good.

How much are people going to blow on FAAB for Vick out of $100?

He's not any good anymore and there's a pretty good chance he doesn't last more than a game or two.

 

[stbugs]

tyrod taylor for big ben owners

targeting him and Palmer.

How is Palmer on any ww? He's a top 5 fantasy QB right now.

So is Tyrod. The top QBs in my 6 pt TD league are Brady, Dalton, Palmer and Tyrod. Cam, MM, Bortles and Carr are all in the QB1 mix as well. This was not the year to take a QB early.

Or running back for that matter.

Huh?

Have Bell, AP, Charles, or Lacy been bad so far? (aside from Lacy's injury)

ya that makes no sense. seems like the perfect year to take a rb round 1 (besides anderson)

If you were looking at the top QBs, then according to DD you were likely looking at RBs like Forsett, Anderson, Lynch, McCoy, Murray, Miller, Ingram, Morris, Abdullah, Spiller, Ellington and Gordon. So, in that respect it makes a lot of sense. You weren't choosing between Luck, Rodgers and Bell/AP/Lacy. Only Charles was going a little later and in some cases right at the start.

Not really. If you have an early pick and took a charles/bell/Ap/Lacy type player, then you likely may have considered Luck, Rodgers, in rounds 2 and 3. I don't think they're commenting on the bust rate of early round qbs, but simply on the hit rate of late round qbs. Having Palmer, Taylor, Dalton, Brady etc who you likely drafted late, and picking up an extra early/mid round pick seems to be paying off for MOST teams that did that.

Really. Here is the top 15 in ppg (to include Bell and Charles) in my normal PPR league:

Bell, Le'Veon PIT RB

Freeman, Devonta ATL RB

Charles, Jamaal KCC RB

Lewis, Dion NEP RB

Ingram, Mark NOS RB

Murray, Latavius OAK RB

Peterson, Adrian MIN RB

Randle, Joseph DAL RB

Forte, Matt CHI RB

Hyde, Carlos SFO RB

Ivory, Chris NYJ RB

Woodhead, Danny SDC RB

Williams, DeAngelo PIT RB

Dunbar, Lance DAL RB

Bernard, Giovani CIN RB

I see ADP, Forte, Charles and Bell. I don't see Lacy, but I also see just as many late or mid round RBs as the QBs you mentioned. I don't count Brady. He didn't go late in leagues after the suspension was lifted, but there were a lot of drafts (2 of my 3) before the decision. We could do this for every position. My point was that going Rodgers/Luck in round 2/3 wasn't really a bad call. Luck will play better and there were a zillion land mines at the other positions and plenty of later RBs/WRs that have played well and likely will continue.

Brady even post suspension lift was ranked on here like QB13... he was still going fairly late, after round 8 in most drafts.

Either way, maybe luck/rodgers weren't bad calls, but the Romo, Brees, Ben, WIlson, Stafford, Tannehill, Eli, Bradford type who were usually the qb3-10ish or so are all not doing so well. Not saying it was a bad DECISION to draft these guys, as this was unpredictable circumstances for the most part, but those who DID wait until late and drafted or waiver wired guys like taylor, palmer, dalton, (brady in some), etc are looking to be in great shape

Brady went in the 4th in my only post suspension. That said I hear you, but at week 3 there are always late round/ww steals at all positions. My best team is the team where I took Luck in the second. Some people waited late-ish and grabbed Romo or Kaep or Tannehill, etc. this is FF every year.

 

[Short Corner]

I drafted on Sept 2 and he was ranked QB9 on my DD...before the suspension was lifted.

Which RB is the better PPR grab? Rawls, Dunbar, or Andrews?

Antonio Andrews has the most feature back potential, but so far the Titans' RB position has been a revolving door. They are off next week then get Buffalo, so we may not know much for a few weeks. Predicting the Titans' RB rotation may prove difficult all season. Andrews is about as likely to get you a zero as he is of becoming the lead back in Tennessee.

Rawls' value hinges completely on the health of Marshawn.

Dunbar is the one I would most trust to remain a part of the offensive plan for his team. Through 3 weeks, he is on pace for over 100 receptions. I don't believe Dunbar will hold up to that type of continued use, and he may disappear some weeks, but he is an exciting talent who should be rostered in PPR.

In a post when someone brings up Rawls?
