Week 5 Waiver Pickups (1 Viewer)

Going to throw Daryl Richardson out again as the Rams are on a short turnaround and Jackson's groin may not have enough time to recover this week. DRich may see increased playing time this week.

Is it worth blowing a high waiver wire priority on J. Rodgers in a 12 team 0.5PPR league, where I already have 5 RBs (Murray, Ridley, Chris Johnson, SJackson and D. Richardson)?

I wouldn't. He's not gaining any traction. I sought him out late thinking he could be a receiver out of the backfield and get some carries but he's not carving out a role for himself with the touches he's getting. Then with Turner having a couple decent games there's a good chance he leaves my squad soon.

I don't know that I would do that just yet. Can't remember who, but saw one of the "keepers" of the snap count tally on twitter mention that Quizz was only a couple of snaps behind Turner, and ran a lot of pass routes. It seems that maybe Turner was just the beneficiary of some good plays. I am going to hold Quizz at least another week to see how it plays out. With this offense going more towards the passing game, I can't really see Turner producing a whole lot in that style offense. 60yd pass play aside

Oh holy #### they brought back the old chart system! Thank god. Anyway, yeah, Turner and Quizz are essentially in a 50/50 timeshare now.

SJax needs to literally lose a limb in order for Richardson to see any playing time. He came out of last weeks game no worse for the wear.

I've watched a couple of these Dolphins games and basically Hartline is the gameplan - he's not going away.

Turn On Your Hartline! Let it shine wherever you go! :suds:

I'm sure the moniker came to a lot of people, myself included. He was on my bench this week, but more importantly, "Heartlight" came up on shuffle this morning. :headbang:

My league is a little slow on things like this, so I think I'm going to wait it out another week or two. I may get burned though.I guess I should also note that he wasn't drafted at all, so it's doubtful that he's on the radar of most of the people in my league three weeks before coming off IR.

SJax is fine, probably won't practice this week but he's a go for Thursday night.

This is in the WRONG forum but your choices should be James Jones if Jennings out; Hixon if Nicks out or Andre Roberts for Thursday game

Odds are good he reaches about 100 total yards against them. He looked very good to me last week vs. SEA, putting up the most yards on the ground vs. them (55), although not by much. ARI, who ranks worse than SEA against the run, allowed Ridley and Lynch to total about 100 yards, McCoy to average 5.38 YPC and a less than 100% bush to total around 70 yards on the ground. ARI was exposed through the air last week but are definitely beatable via the rush. Something like a 20/60-80/0 stat line with 3-4 receptions for 20 yards is possible maybe probable. Seeing as how SJax hasn't done much so far this season, it's not farfetched that he'll have his best game this week.

it would be nice to get a TD. hes been robbed of a couple already this season. maybe he can get one on thurs?
 
Got Hartline, dropping Young on waivers. Also got the MIN DST for this week.

Just waiting for news on the Locker injury now. If he's out for awhile then I'll grab Ponder.

 
I noticed that nobody put a claim in for The Law firm of Brandon Bolden so I was able to snag him up this morning. I am afraid that it's going to be very tough to predict when to start him (monster production on the bench and goose eggs when I start him, chasing the stat sheets).

Hopefully he turns into NE's next BJGE.

 
Let's play the "bye week filler QB game"!!!

Kevin Kolb or *drumroll* TIMMAY TEBOW?

What says the pool?

:popcorn:

ETA: Just to be clear - this isn't specific. I don't mean week 5. Just in general - moving forward for anyone that has QB bye's in week 6-10.

Kolb, he has been improving and we have seen both his floor and ceiling so far. On the off chance he continues to approach the level of play AZ expected out of him when they traded for him, you have yourself a very good bye week filler.Although people might initially believe Timmy is a known commodity, he is not. He has a completely different system in place in New York and a much worse supporting cast than he did in Denver. His ability to excel and win games in Denver was largely attributable to the defenses ability to keep the game close so that he was able to lean on the running game (RB and himself included) to keep them in it with the occasional short pass or poorly thrown deep bomb when the safeties starting playing up. He doesn't have as good of a O-line, no wide receivers to speak of, and a laughable RB core. Defenses also have extensive game tape on how to approach the situation if he plays from his time at Denver. How Ryan and the staff would use him in this system is also an unknown. We have only seem him in gimmick situations at this point. Not to mention he is loyal to Sanchez and we don't even know when/if Timmy will get the start. Too many variables and question marks.Go with Kevin.
 
Sitting here trying to choose between James Jones, Michael Crabtree, Jackie Battle, and Bolden. Just feels like a pyramid-shaped die roll.

17th in receptions, 26th in targets.....57th in fantasy points. :X

He at least gets consistent targets and he's faced all top 10 pass D's so far. I don't think you'll want to start any of these guys.Edit: I wasn't paying attention and missed Jones, he's the guy to pick up until Jennings is healthy.

Ive gone for Chaz Schillens in a few leagues. Doubt he contributes every week for the rest of the season given his past health issues, but I think Sanchez might key on him for next 2 or 3 weeks.

If it doesnt work out I didnt lose anything.

Big echo in a room that has a floor this low and a ceiling that high.

Spot starter in a pinch for a week or two, I would say Jones then Battle.If you want to shoot for the longer term, high risk, high reward, I'd say Bolden.

Well Jackson may have a decent game but Arizona's D will be much better with Dockett back in there so I don''t think he has a great game

I have to imagine Dockett will still be hampered, if only slightly by the hamstring injury. Vegas thinks the game will be close and I tend to agree. Hopefully SJax will have time to grind out some yards.
 
Waiver week isn't over yet, and this stuff works like a notebook, helpful to list:

Likely gone now:

Battle

Bolden

Hixon

Jones

Roberts

Maybe still out there:

Tannehill

Tebow

Bell

Casey

Bryce Brown

Pierce

Hillman

DRichardson (if you won SJax)

I will add:

William Powell

Bilal Powell

Ball

TE & WR:

Chandler

Schillens/Kerley

Vince Brown

Sanders

I will add:

Jerome Simpson - still owned in just 50% of CBS leagues

Gibson/Givens
