Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups (1 Viewer)

[Uncle Leo]

Christine Michael with Dunbar out?

 

[zftcg]

Hurns

Surely he's not available anywhere

Don't be that guy, flap.

What's that

Every time there's a waiver thread, "that guy" says, "No way he's available!" or "Your league is a joke if he's a free agent!".

Imo, "that guy" is annoying.

Hence, the "Don't be that guy".

In your defense, Raback also chose to be "that guy".

But hey, we all make mistakes. I won't hold this one against either of you.

Adrian Peterson. Slow start to this year but I think he's an rb1 ros

You mean that RB who used to play for the Bears? Hadn't realized he was still in the league.

 

[zftcg]

Willie Snead. I'm just sayin...

I knew next week was going to be tough for me at WR (and that was even before Stevie Johnson pulled his hammy) so I grabbed Snead before tonight's game in order to bypass waivers. Looking like a good decision based on tonight's results.

Christine Michael with Dunbar out?

75% of your free agent budget now

 

[Deamon]

Gostkowski is coming back from a bye and was probably dropped

Not in my leagues. Dude is like a Terminator. Everyone drafts him first and takes the 0 during the bye.

This is exactly what I did. Up 138-46. He has Lynch, Prater, and Lions D left. I'm OK with my decision.

I've been bit by a tie going to points for before, so will always try to get the most points possible each week

 

[AAABatteries]

Christine Michael with Dunbar out?

Who?

 

[Warrior]

Christine Michael with Dunbar out?

Who?

The guy who got -1 yards this week.

 

[agent orange]

If he's somehow still floating out on the waiver wire because of his suspension, Antonio Gates.

 

[papacapps]

I'm in a competitive league with a short bench. Both Duke Johnson and Leonard Hankerson are available...debating which one to pick up.

This would cost $$ in my leagues. Manage your rooster.

Control your cocks while your at it will ya.

depends what position you need more. pretty high floor, low ceiling with hankerson. big upside with duke. go duke if you're 1-3 or 2-2, or if your roster is in need of a boost, but still complete. Go hank if youre plagued by injuries, or doing well and just need some bye week guy to put up a solid effort each game.

 

[beerbuff]

There are two problems for Duke. One is that he plays for Cleveland and the second is that Robert Turbin will be joining the cast of Cleveland RB's in a couple of weeks further muddling the situation there. Depending on Mondays game Zenner could be another RB to add but also in a crowded backfield. Cmike should be a priority add for any Dunbar owner.

He is managing his roster.

 

[Short Corner]

Who?

The guy who got -1 yards this week.

With any luck he'll bypass Blutarski next week.

 

[SproutDaddy]

Woodhead, dunbar, duke, gio, etc these are the rbs i wanna own as rb2s in fantasy now. They disappear less frequently than the 1st and 2nd down guys

No Lewis?

i said etc

God you're such a dork.

Ty Montgomery continuing to emerge for Green Bay. Using him out of the back field ala Harvin.

But hey, we all make mistakes. I won't hold this one against either of you.

He was drafted in all of mine, maybe if you are in a 15 player 12 team league or less. In my 16 player leagues he been gone since the draft.

 

[cr8f]

Ty Montgomery continuing to emerge for Green Bay. Using him out of the back field ala Harvin.

After the draft one scout called him a bigger Cobb so think that was the plan. They like him on bubble screens and as a RB/WR getting YAC.

He's owned in 11.3% of ESPN leagues. There's a good chance he's available for a lot of people out there.

 

[cr8f]

1 carry. Not a big sample size.

I think the Dunbar job will go to McFadden.

He dropped 3 passes today, including an 80 yard TD on the 1st play of the game.

 

[hotboyz]

Kamar Aiken somebody gotta catch passes from Flacco with Smith out hell hrs the #1 Wr

 

[flapgreen]

I own Montgomery and not that optimistic at the moment.

 

[Detroit Revival]

Deeper leagues should keep an eye on Waller.

 

[shadyridr]

Deeper leagues should keep an eye on Waller.

Who is that?

 

[The Dude]

If Gilmore of Balt was released he looks like a good play with Smith out

 

[he_hate_me_too]

Cassel

 

[solorca]

Maybe Charles Sims. He's been decent.

 

[Fat Nick]

This thread is indicative of this whole forum lately. About 1/2 of you make honest advice, and about 1/2 of you are just here to make C-mike jokes and sarcastic, crap comments.

It's getting really hard to actually get useful information out of a lot of it, especially if you aren't one of those people who can afford to watch every game on Sunday and see how everyone did.

I like your line of thinking, but man Aiken is bad

I didn't see the game but I find this encouraging. If he had caught that he would be the number 1 WW add for stat chasers. I like that he got the opportunities, And if that was a deep ball I really like that.

My bigger concern is what is going on with Adams, I'm a fan but if he is out long enough he may not have his role anymore.

I think its important to view who is perceived to have been picked up already as you can then identify what you are missing as an owner. Guys like Hankerson and Hurns should be picked up but if not grab them if you have the space.

Why should they have been picked up previously?

Hankerson - #2 option in the ATL offense with White disappearing most of the season

Hurns - great TD threat for a Jacksonville offense that can now sustain drives and have a RB who will garner some attention

Is your league bad for not having these guys picked up, no and hopefully I never come off like that. Personally it is rewarding to win a league with a bunch of "experts" but at the same time I normally have the most fun in a work league with a few less than stellar owners.

 

[zamboni]

Willie Snead. I'm just sayin...

I knew next week was going to be tough for me at WR (and that was even before Stevie Johnson pulled his hammy) so I grabbed Snead before tonight's game in order to bypass waivers. Looking like a good decision based on tonight's results.

Snead seems very interesting. This guy is emerging - has nearly as many targets as Cooks, and his catch rate is very high. Plus, Graham is obviously gone, Colston looks done and Coleman is not producing much. When you figure the Saints are likely going to throw the ball a lot this year, there are some targets to be had in that offense.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Kamar Aiken somebody gotta catch passes from Flacco with Smith out hell hrs the #1 Wr

What's "bad" about him? He's surely not an elite or even above average talent, but he seems like a dependable possession type guy and right now he looks like the leading candidate for targets in Baltimore.

 

[bignatecv]

Hankerson needs to be owned and he's still available in a lot of leagues

Ehh, I mean Ive had my eye on him for a couple weeks now but today's game didnt make me think run to get Hankerson. He was wide open on his 55 yard catch and his YAC was nice on the play but nobody was around him.

Because Atlanta has a high powered offense and Roddy is done?

Would you take Hankerson over R. Randle? I'm riddled with Injuries over here and need to pull out a win week 5.

WR =

S. Smith

D. Jackson

D. Bryant

Moncrief

Hurns

Randle

I would but I'd drop Hurns instead of Randle

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I would consider Cole Beasley at this point especially in full PPR. Dunbar going out means the Cowboys will need a 3rd down possession receiver. I think it's more him than McFadden. Not big points and he's never put up big yards but add in that Weeden and Cassell just don't throw that deep and I believe they'll be using him.

 

[Quez]

All 3 of these guys in ppr

Duke

Chris Thompson

Charles Simms

Royal- if he was dropped

Snead- possible flex during bye weeks

Bersin- will keep an eye on him

Quick- this o is looking better, so if he does return to form he could have value

 

[Don Quixote]

Philip Dorsett. Have to think he gets bumped above Andre Johnson soon.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I know stat chasing, but worth pointing out Jamison Crowder for the Redskins has had a couple good games now, and yesterday he had 12 targets, 7/65.

Tavon Austin had a big game - 7/6/96/2 rec + 2/20 ru.

 

[JohnnyU]

This is Pagano we're talking about here, so don't count on it soon. The guy is a bad coach.....period !!!

 

[tangfoot]

This is a good one, especially if it looks like Reed will miss time.

Is Reed hurt?

Is Reed hurt?

Yes, haven't heard a single thing about it - I assume hes dead. Looked like another concussion.

Edit: Confirmed concussion

 

[MattFancy]

With Reed probably out for the Redskins next week and still not definite timeframe for DJax, I like Jamison Crowder. Looked good out of the slot this week.

 

[bignatecv]

Charles Sims? While he hasn't completely taken over he seems to be gaining traction..

Also Tevin Coleman is out there in my league, does he deserve a bench spot or wait to see how he does when he returns?
