I don't think either team has officially placed them on IR yet.

Week 6 Waiver targets (2 Viewers)

They should be switched to 'out' though and then they can go on IR. Still sitting at doubtful. I was able to IR Jefferson in sleeper

I wouldn't drop Dell for him. Rice is on the upswing, but there are still a lot of mouths to feed among the WRs and Reid has often been reticent to put too much on a rookie WR's plate. Dell is concussed but he is also on the upswing, Stroud is balling out, and there is a much narrower target tree on the Texans.

Headed to IR versus officialLy placed on IR.
I suspect there is a lot of paperwork involved and the NFL probably needs to recognize the request before it’s officIal. Lord knows the latency with the FF services.

Understood, but neither of them are officially out either. The team knows this and we know this, but there's nothing official yet according to the NFL process.

I don’t think the teams have officially put them on IR. If you read the news article they all state “plan to place Jefferson on IR”.
So since he’s not on it yet, he’s still just listed as doubtful until further notice.

Your point is that the majority are sheep & following, as Ingram was added in only 4,400+ leagues. We all agree the dissemination of information is what we're all reacting to. But players like Demercado & Osborn are of interest here, whether the talking heads sound the alarm or not. In fact, I would argue that if they were telling us to ignore Demercado & add Ingram instead, the disparity in adds wouldn't be as great, but would still favor Demercado. That's separate from which move proves right or wrong.

Demercado went for $40 FAAB in my 14-teamer.

I'm hearing a lot of big bids like that. I imagine in a 14-team league, the pickings are particularly slim, so anyone with any kind of promise is going to be aggressively pursued.Demercado went for $40 FAAB in my 14-teamer.

Donta went for $19 in mine. I picked up Demercado last week out of pure desperation (Barkley, ekeler and Walker were out/off). In larger leagues with moderately deep benches there isn’t much value in hoarding FAAB. I put $80 on Derwin James after he was dropped ($200 FAAB)Demercado went for $40 FAAB in my 14-teamer.

I've been picking up Demercado the last few weeks and made sure to get him on my two Conner teams. Was not about believing in Demercado, was about it being a matter of time until Conner missed time along with Ingram playing like butt.
So he's for sure the RB I'd rather have but I sure don't want to go putting him in a starting lineup this week and no I would not be surprised if Ingram took on most of the early down role and Demercado's role only say an uptick. Just know he's a guy I'd rather put on my roster if I can and see how it shakes out.
Rondale Moore's could be a sneaky good FA pickup. Granted it's not a replacment for the role that Conner played but they might lean more into the growing Darren Sproles type of role they've been showing a little the last few weeks. Which happens to be a role I thought he was best suited for when he came into the league.Of course Sproles was never much in fantasy except when he was paired with Brees/Payton, but worth a shot if you got a spot and need a WR.

Just here to point out that Sproles also had some really productive years with San Diego and Philly.
Not for fantasy teams.

I actually picked him up LAST WEEK on my main sixteen team league, but I went Bananas this week trying to get him on every other team. I liked him before Connor was out.

I read this morning on CBS that there is a scenario where Denver moves both Jeudy & Sutton before the deadline. If so, assuming they bring in middling receivers in exchange, does Mims represent a decent upside preemptive pickup? The likelihood of such a move for Denver I assume is low, so my question is predecated on the long-shot possiblity that it happens.

$77/120 in our 14 team, 30 deep, dyno.
I picked up Mims last week for that very reason. He is an exciting player. Since I have vey good wrs picking up a middle of the road player will do me no good. I need backups with some serious upside or they are of no use to me. If the trade deadline comes and goes without a trade then he goes back to the WW.

On a FBG podcast Cecil Lammey says expect Friday to be the day when the Denver trades happen (after the game Thursday night). I don't have the room to pick up Mims now without knowing for sure that either Sutton or Jeudy will be traded. And if they are traded on Friday then he will be locked in ESPN until Tuesday.
Cecil seems to think there's a decent chance one or both could be traded, and also a decent chance that neither are traded.

Let's say that only one of Jeudy or Sutton is traded by Denver - where does Mims then rank ROS? And what if both are traded - does that help or hurt Mims?

Im sure the head coach ran as fast as he could to the social media department to tell them Ingram is the starter (Pro tip he didn't and the depth chart means jack).
Pigskin Fanatic
Footballguy
great question. imo situations that help Mims the most, in order, are
jeudy gets traded, sutton+mims dominate targets
sutton gets traded, jeudy dominate targets and mims a clear 2
both get traded, there isn't enough bodies underneath so mims see more targets but not quality targets
neither gets traded, sutton+jeudy continue to dominate targets and Mims remain irrelevant for most games

don't forget about dulcich. prolly a sneaky pickup in any of these scenarios
Football Jones
Footballguy
Dulcich is a fantastic speculative pickup right now considering the TE landscape.
BTW, I’m behind on this, but what’s the impetus behind moving Jeudy &/or Sutton? I’m assuming it’s because Jeudy is set to be a FA, but what about Sutton? I know Mims has upside, but that’s a decent amount of talent to lose.
Is Denver going to blow it up?

Yes, there is strong speculation that Denver is going to blow it up. Of course Payton has said publicly that they are not considering any such thing. I think Frank Clark is very likely to be dealt. Beyond that everything is just speculation. But speculation around Jeudy especially has been strong since Spring.
For a strong enough offer I think Denver would make moves. But it's also likely true that because the rumor mill is so strong, everybody is coming in with low ball offers. Denver doesn't have a second round pick, but does have picks in 1,3,4,5 (x2) and 6. They have a lot of rebuilding to do, so acquiring picks for players that don't fit in with Sean Payton's vision would make sense.

For the first time this season I did not participate in the waiver wire
Here is how it unrolled tonight
Matthew Stafford QB LAR
Zach Charbonnet RB SEA
Emari Demercado RB ARI- Who the bleep is this? I have never heard of this guy, never can remember him in college or coming into the NFL
Pittsburgh Steelers D/ST
Jonnu Smith TE ATL
Antonio Gibson RB WAS
Quentin Johnston WR LAC
K.J. Osborn WR MIN
Just nothing to get thrilled about, I'm trying to figure out who might be a hot waiver pick up in the coming 2-3 weeks and try to find them now before everyone discovers them
Got any of those?

Speculative adds for later, with just about all of them needing injury to the starters ahead of them to be relevant. These are longshots for deep leagues but guys I can see producing if forced into significant snaps:
QB
Sam Darnold
Malik Willis
RB
Sean Tucker (possibly NIML unless someone dropped him)
Zach Evans
Isaiah Spiller
Chris Brooks
Jordan Mason
Keaton Mitchell (possibly NIML because of IR stash)
Rashaad Penny
WR
Rashod Bateman
John Metchie
Justyn Ross
Trey Palmer
Demario Douglas
TE
Noah Gray
Jelani Woods
Cole Turner
Isaiah Likely

Donte Foreman. Michael Wilson too if he was dropped. Disappeared last week but I think he could be a player still this season.
hamsterdam
Footballguy
thinking rondale moore is a sneaky pick up in deeper leagues. cardinals already give him carries, and they could use him a little more in the backfield with conner out. also could get more quick hits to supplement the run game. he's an explosive athlete like achane / mclaughlin, would be cool to see AZ coaches use him more as a satellite back.

Didn't they pick up his 5th year option? Not sure how that would work in any trade though, or if it would have any impact.

My pleasure. I must stress that none of these are recommended pickups for shallow leagues just yet, but at least a few of them will cause intense bidding wars if they get their chance.
The guys I feel out of that list that can make the strongest buzz are Ross and Evans. Whenever Ross grabs his first regular season TD, the fantasy community will lose their minds over him. Everyone has been so desperate to see a Chiefs WR emerge, and while Rice to me is the most likely, I think Ross is the one with the most potential if that’s who Mahomes and Reid gravitate to.
As for Evans, I’m seeing Kyrie getting a massive workload that he’s not built to withstand, and I saw him getting clobbered at times during that Eagles game, and couldn’t help to think about the mad rush to get his replacement if we see him take one hit too many and this is the music we hear going to commercial break. Ronnie Rivers is the next man up in the short term, but he is also undersized and better suited for a change of pace role. Rivers to his credit had outplayed Evans in the preseason and I can only assume as well in practice. But it caught my attention when Evans was active for the first time in Week 5.
He didn’t take any snaps on offense, but if anything happens to Kyren then I think McVay won’t have much choice but to include him in the offense. I think Evans has the most talent in that RB room, it’s a matter of can he pass protect well enough to stay on the field. As I said regarding Keaontay Ingram, opportunity is king, and Evans is the guy I’d want to speculate on at the end of my bench. It feels sort of like a RB version of the Josh Palmer/Quentin Johnston debate, where Palmer was the guy to grab if you needed the WR help in the immediate term whereas Johnston was the grab if you wanted to swing for the fences.

But that happens as players are moving up the ranks, I didn't start him but he's on the end of my bench

I forgot about that. I looked & they did pick it up.
