Jennings is available in my league. I'm really regretting not reading the tea leaves and seeing that Cassel would be vastly better for Jennings than Ponder.G. Jennings - might be out there in a few leagues

Pettis is Bradford's safety valve and his value is based on THIS week against the Jags. You are right though that he is NOT a long term option.Pettis is too far down the pecking order and their offense doesn't produce a lot for FF.Nate Washington, Austin Pettis and Jerome Simpson - Simpson might be an easy grab and stash since he is on bye this week.
Coradelle is Simpson's backup and it's hard to make WDIS decisions with Simpson because of this.
I'd pick up Bell.Would you rather pick up Woodhead or L. Bell going forward?
I am in the same boat, but as a McFadden owner, I figure Jennings is a perfect insurance policy for the week.With ADP on bye and the cluster#### that is Mathews/Medenhall/J Bell/D Richardson on the crew....I may try for R Jennings or J Franklin. Undecided as yet.
I agree. Woodhead is unlikely to have another multi-TD game all season. He will continue to provide a decent amount of receptions for PPR'ers, however. Pittsburgh should be leaning on Bell.I'd pick up Bell.Would you rather pick up Woodhead or L. Bell going forward?
Was Goodson brought in to be the feature back, but couldn't due to the injury? I don't know enough about the situation to be honest. Do you think he will overtake Powell sooner rather than later?Preemptive Pickups:
Mike Goodson: Don't sleep on this one. Goodson has been all but forgotten about, but the Jets have been having some success running the ball, and Goodson is an upgrade over Bilal Powell. Goodson has the skills to be an every-down feature back. This is your opportunity to still grab him cheap.
Raiderfan32904 no start this week?? Is this due to matchup issue or the Thursday night curse??The Buffalo WR Woods is my priority add. With Stevie Johnson nursing a hammy, Woods will only get targeted more and get the opportunity to develop chemistry with his fellow rookie Manuel. Just won't be starting him this week. But going forward, yeah I think I got a WR3 slot open for him down the road.
I'm afraid he might get matched up on Hayden if S Jones is out. If S Jones is active, he might be a decent start. I'm not at all worried about any Thursday Night curse.Raiderfan32904 no start this week?? Is this due to matchup issue or the Thursday night curse??The Buffalo WR Woods is my priority add.

Do you think Woods has more upside ROS than A. Jeffery?? Both are available on my WW and I am torn...leaning towards Woods cause of possible more targets without a WR like Marshall there...what do you think?

Goodson was derailed due to his arrest, his absence from training camp (rehab??), his multitude of off-field issues and ultimately his 4-game suspension. The Jets were likely enamored with Goodson's speed and versatility, and while he was brought in prior to Ivory, I think the idea was combine Goodson's finesse with Ivory's more rugged running style.Was Goodson brought in to be the feature back, but couldn't due to the injury?

I like Woods better than Jeffery for the remainder simply because of the target distribution. Jeffery is the #4 target in this offense behind Marshall, Bennett and Forte. He fooled us last season early on by having a great game in Week 1 and then fell off the face of the earth. Woods on the other hand has almost no competition for targets besides Stevie Johnson who is currently banged up. If he were to miss the game this week Woods could continue to develop good chemistry with Manuel. Getting a rookie QBs trust is often the best thing for a WR... think Steve Smith and Cam or Luck and Wayne.Do you think Woods has more upside ROS than A. Jeffery??

I don't think you need to be too worried about Goodson for the immediate future. Goodson will have had so few reps with this offense, and I expect ball security to be an issue that will be stressed heavily in practice this week, as well as in the game. Goodson will likely prove to be a liability in picking up his blocking assignments until he gets more reps in practice. I expect the Jets to ease Goodson into game action. If there is a concern for Week #5, it could be Ivory, if he is able to get on the field, although Powell has clearly outplayed him thus far, to the extent Ivory has played at all.Can we expect that Goodson will be introduced slowly ? I picked up Powell for the upcoming bye week, presumably Goodson on his first week back with the team will not eat into Powell's body of work noticeably ? Beyond the next couple of weeks, I'm not too bothered
That is a desperation move, certainly. I suppose it depends on Richardson's status. I would be more inclined to make a run at Rashad Jennings to fill the gaps this week, if it is an option.I am desperate to grab a rb this week - what do you guys think of Benny Cunningham going against the Jags this week? I know Rams rb situation is a mess but going vs the worst run def in the league.
If it were me I'd target Ogbonnaya and Blount.Jennings is gone in my league - my current rbs are D Martin(bye), Ridley, Ivory, Bolden, Hunter and Pead... very ugly i know. Its a non-PPR league
looking @ our rb free agents the following are available:
Blount
D Scott
Ogbonnya
Battle
D Brown
Tolbert
K Robinson
As I said scraping the bottom of the barrel here... any suggestions?

OG is on the field ALOT for the Browns (he serves as FB/RB), he hasnt been phased out quite yet (he had a nice game the past few days)
Blount -- he's a NE RB, who knows? He had a decent amt of carries past few games.
I agree with this. Really it comes down to Jeffry's upside ROS being limited compared to Woods. Good posting.I like Woods better than Jeffery for the remainder simply because of the target distribution. Jeffery is the #4 target in this offense behind Marshall, Bennett and Forte.

In the end... there's a 50/50 shot that Woods becomes Manuel's #1 target. There's a 0% chance Jeffery becomes Cutler's #1 target, short of Forte and Marshall both going down for extended time.
I'd rank him as gone before he even signedwhere would you guys rank McGahee?
Goodson was brought in way before they traded for Ivory. He was also signed for $2m per year, so he wasn't brought in as a spare back-up. He's more talented than Powell, but unfortunately he seems like a knucklehead. I'm pretty sure Powell would have been the third RB, but he seized the reps when Goodson got into trouble and Ivory hurt his hammy.Why would they bench Powell for Goodson? That makes no sense. Goodson was brought in to complement Ivory. Powell won the job due to Ivory's injury in camp and stuck with it. If anything this will be a RBBC between Powell & Goodson.

Conventional wisdom is probably yes, grab him. Nevertheless, I cannot help but thinking Austin will be nursing his hamstring off and on for a number of weeks. So I guess it depends on your league and size of your roster.Someone dropped Miles Austin in my league. Should he be an immediate pickup?
Jeffery already is tied for 2nd in targets with 32. When he fell off the earth, he broke his hand and then had knee surgery. That may have had something to with his disappearance.I like Woods better than Jeffery for the remainder simply because of the target distribution.

Glad I didnt Hipple and read up to the last post. I was going to say essentially the same thing in regards to Alshon. I was disappointed in his chances the first couple weeks, but he was the focal point of CHI's 1st drive week 3 which are premeditated plays (I believe he had 4/41) and had double digit targets last week. The injuries definitely derailed him last year, and to me he looks like he's in better shape and faster this year. As far as the passing game goes, he and Bennet are 2a and 2b.Hoosier16 said:Jeffery already is tied for 2nd in targets with 32.

I dont see the point in going after Williams, especially with Locker out for awhile.Damian was the main WR yesterday.What's the deal with Nate Washington ? He's sitting on my WW, but tbh, I don't know anything about him - is he the main WR in Tennessee right now ?
Nate has been their best WR this year and got plenty of work last game. The bomb was sorely underthrown yet the DB didn't do a thing to stop it really. Nate mistakenly yet amusingly used the ref like a basketball screen and scored. Take that bomb with a grain of salt, but still he has been their best WR.
I was under the impression the Titans passing attack finally arrived and then Locker got hurt. Fitz looked so rusty there's not much to gauge on him from the second half.
Nate isn't available in any league I'm in after his stellar game a week or two ago. Whatever you look for in a WW WR I figure he's got it, so he's well worth a shot. I can't imagine there's any better (stat wise) on the WW. I mean you can't usually pickup a teams top WR in week 5.
I only have RG3 at QB who is on bye this week, and the only guys Im even considering dropping are Pierce, Rueben Randle, or Miles. Id like to try to trade Pierce to the Rice owner, but with Rivers on the WW I dont think I can wait for that. IMO he still has too much value because of Rice's current health, so I dont think I can drop him. Miles wasnt all that productive the first couple weeks when healthy, and that was even before Murray started being productive. Randle on the other hand had a big week 1, but has struggled since against tough defenses but probably more importantly Manning looking like ####.socrates said:Conventional wisdom is probably yes, grab him.

Ha, yeah, what backs ever come out of UT.... pfft.Shall I start the hype train?fozzy whittaker?
Seriously though, I wasn't even aware the Browns had signed him yesterday so this is a situation to keep an eye on. Of course, as a UT alumnus I may be biased as to his potential.
