Is Damian Williams a better pickup over Hawkins? Who starts and sees more snaps?

If Mathews and Tolbert are out next week, who is the 3rd RB? They wouldn't start Hester at TB would they?

Orton's 34 yards passing for the game +Int may have influenced his decision a little today.

orton was horrid and very deserving of the bench. fox did not lie about anything.

I like Delone Carter. I also like Curtis Painter.
Not a WW guy but I think a great guy to target is Brandon Lloyd. He was super close on two long ones that would have both made sports center. Just something to stick in your back pocket in case you get a disheartened owner.

It will be interesting to see if Carter or D. Brown is the better pickup. I would appreciate hearing from people who saw the game as it looks like Brown had a better day.

Anything to see with Jake Ballard TE, NYG?

Matt Cassel's starting to warm up. Chiefs have a bye next week so this may be a good time to grab him if you need some QB2 help.

Not with Tebow at QB

Damian Williams will get next week, his bye week, to build even more rapport with his QB in practice. That can't be a bad thing for a guy that just got the starting job.
Would you believe he was dropped in my league yesterday? I guess the owner bought the Ridley hype hook, lie, and sinker. Now I just have to figure out how many waiver bucks to throw at him.
Sabertooth
Footballguy
Yes, with Tebow at QB. That would be the whole reason he's a buy low or maybe even waiver wire material.'djmich said:

He isn't dominating right now but P. Thomas continues to put serviceable numbers while we wait for something to give in NOR.
The answer this week may be no breakout candidates.
Not sure what to do with Baldwin. Beyond Obomanu and SRice you have BMW who sat out today. Will he pass any of them on the depth chart? Can this offense really support multiple WR's when we thought it would support none?
Battle is interesting ... he's been a fumble prone back whenever he's seen the field prior to today but he may have some sustained value with McCluster not doing much. Going into a bye he's probably worth a stash but like Baldwin not going to make or break a season.
Addai may not even miss a game but Carter is also worth a pickup ... although Donald Brown actually outplayed him today.
Redman ran hard and Dwyer busted off a big run ... but Mendy should be back next week and Moore will be back eventually too.
Breaston may be viable although they'll get Baldwin into the mix after the bye.
For smaller leagues obviously Garcon would top lists but heck I started him in several leagues but he's unclaimed in others so it really depends. I see no reason for him to slow disappear ... he won't be a STUD but let's call him a startable WR3 with more upside than most.
I suspect we'll see Megatron shut down more than usual tomorrow and Burleson will get back on the map with 3 good games out of 5 for bench depth.
Preemptive ... Little ... I expect him to get more looks out of the bye.
Tebow obviously if he's out there and you have a spot and especially if you need a QB. How cool would that have been if he had gotten WR eligibility from a few games ago?
DHB if he's out there may actually be viable but I suspect it could be Ford or Moore just as easily next game.

Battle is the obvious one, mad I grabbed Grant of the wire instead of him.
I keep feeling like it's smoke and mirrors but at this point Tebow has scored a passing TD and rushing TD in every game he's had an appreciable number of snaps (and even in one where he only touched the ball 3 times!) Definitely looking to add him.

Oh my, they couldn't do THAT, could they? I mean, tubby Tolbert was a blocking FB at powerhouse Coastal Carolina, who never carried the ball in college, while Hester was only the starting running back for national champion LSU. Can you explain why the Chargers chose to convert a slow, plodding blocking FB from a D-III college into a tailback, while forcing the starting tailback for an NCAA college champion to move to FB and block for him? Hester is much faster than Tolbert and would obviously be a much better NFL running back.'footballguy#1 said:

They have a bye next week, someone already pointed that so one if not both will likely be back. Not sure where you were going with the Hester thing. I couldn't tell if you were mad they moved him to fullback?
I don't have Hester on any of my fantasy teams- clearly he doesn't get enough touches. Thus, I'm not "mad" because of that. It just irks me, knowing both their backgrounds, to see a physically fit RB like Hester being forced to block for a chubby, slow FB like Tolbert. It just defies common sense.
Obviously, in a sane world their roles would be reversed.

Not sure how you can argue with the results. Tolbert has been a solid 2nd RB for them and has shown enough wiggle in the run game.He showed that he could break big plays with the ball in his hand while in Coastal Carolina and his first few years in the league while catching passes at FB.
Also, his 40 yd dash time was in the 4.6-4.7 range which isn't 'slow plodding FB' range rather just mediocre RB speed. Mark Ingram ran a 4.62 and was a 1st round pick??

Blount had a knee injury of as yet undetermined significance, but those rarely end well. So Ernest Graham and Kregg Lumpkin may deserve a mention. :X
This is why I picked him up last week before he had his breakout game. He should be a pretty decent RB3 the rest of the way
