Tolbert should be fine at the least. Would also expect Todman to be active if Matthews will be sitting although who knows how much the trust the rookie to protect Phillip?

He's at the top of my blind bid list for this week. I'm dumping David Nelson to try and get him. He looks like he could be no worse than a solid WR3 in PPR leagues with more upside than that if he takes over as their No. 1 WR.

I'd go

Why would Little be above a guy like DHB or Baldwin. Two dudes that have consistently out produced Little? I actually got him today but didn't see him as a bigger priority than DHB, Breaston or Baldwin. Why am I wrong?I'd go

The Browns are looking for a No. 1 WR and it sounds like Little's going to get the opportunity to be that guy. McCoy's been solid so the No. 1 WR for Cleveland has some nice upside in my opinion.
DHB has been fool's gold for years. I simply don't trust him. Maybe this is the season he is more consistent but there's still Moore, Ford and even Murphy to contend with at WR. Plus McFadden catches a lot of passes there. Too many mouths to feed for me to feel good about Heyward-Bey.
As far as Baldwin, I like his talent. If he's stopped being a ######## he has the chance to be a nice player. But the best he'll be in KC is the No. 2 WR and I'm not sure he'll be better than Breaston this season. Even if he is, he won't be ahead of Bowe.
That's why I like Little more than those other WRs.
Again, though, I'll point out Cassel for those who need a QB. He's coming on, has proven he can be a reliable QB2 and should get Baldwin back to upgrade the passing game at some point.

I see the point with Little. I was talking about Baldwin from SEA by the way not KC. I really hope y'all are right. I've missed on all these waiver wire wrs although I picked up the "recommended guys" like D. Moore, Nelson, Crabtree, etc.

Sorry about that. I'd roll the dice on Baldwin but I think there's more risk with him since his QB situation isn't very trustworthy in my opinion and at best he'll be the No. 2 WR there behind Rice. So I don't see him having Little's upside. He has looked good, though, so he's worth grabbing to see if he can pan out. I just like Little. Thought he was a nice draft pick by the Browns, his targets have been increasing and now it sounds like the Browns really want to feature him as their No. 1 WR. All of the "hot" Waiver Wire WRs have pretty much fallen on hard times so maybe Little won't pan out either. But this week I think he's the likely best WR available in a lot of leagues.

I wouldn't give up on Crabtree just yet. I think he may still prove to be a good pickup.

woah thats a bit much IMO. People need to realize that Little has been on the field more than any other WR of the Browns despite not being the starter.

I think everyone is talking about Doug Baldwin from SEA, not Jon Baldwin KC? Not sure though'packersfan said:
Greg Little...
I know Shurmur said he may be the starter, but that is not news. Little has had more snaps than any other Cleveland WR up to this point. I cannot see Little's role increased any more than it already is. Little is raw, his route running ability is poor, and Colt McCoy is not comfortable with the timing routes in the Shurmur offense. Unless, I see vast improvements in McCoy and Little, I am staying away. In PPR leagues, I am interested in Jordan Norwood getting more snaps in the slot.

Unless, I see vast improvements in McCoy and Little, I am staying away. In PPR leagues, I am interested in Jordan Norwood getting more snaps in the slot.
From what I have read his role will be increasing moving forward, both in snaps and offensive focus. The Browns spent their bye week trying to figure out how to jump start their offense and getting your best receiver more involved is a good start to achieve that. The McCoy factor is a concern but Little is still my top WR target this week.From Rotoworld:Browns coach Pat Shurmur has promoted Greg Little into the starting lineup at X receiver, and he'll move to the slot in three-wide sets.He'll be a true every-down receiver. Brian Robiskie was the old nominal starter at X, across from Mohamed Massaquoi, before the Browns' bye. After spending the last week trying to kick-start their passing game, the Browns have properly determined that getting Little heavily involved is an answer. Little instantly becomes the receiver to own in Cleveland and an upside play in PPR formats. He racked up six catches on eight targets in Week 4 and has flashed elite playmaking skills after the catch. Oct 10 - 12:35 PM

My PPR WR ranking:
DHB: Has had the starting job all season and has had a solid season so far
Williams: I picked him up last week as a flier. Hass is playing well.
Breaston: Has the talent and is finding his way in his new O.
Little: Not sold on the Browns passing game but Little is the best WR on the team. Will be boom and bust weeks.
Avant: Vick is a mess right now and Avant is his security blanket.

With Clayton eligible to come back in 2 weeks, the WR situation in STL is going to be tough to figure. Guess it depends on how close Clayton is to 100% when he does return.

What do you think of Harry Douglas as a spot start. If Julio's hamstring issue is bad I could see ATL resting him the next two weeks until his bye. ATL has CAR and DET for their next two games and I could see those as being shootouts.

How about Early Doucet? Where does he fit in? My impression is that Roberts is starting at the WR2 spot, but Doucet continues to out produce him from the slot. Is that correct? Is he a better receiver going forward than Roberts?I'd go'greenline said:

You are correct. He is the slot WR but has more targets and production than Roberts. I would put Doucet on #3 of the list above.How about Early Doucet? Where does he fit in?

They are out next week due to bye - but both will be back in some way shape or form for Week 7. Hester is the beneficiary of the Tolbert injury.

Your logic is flawed. To think that only Big Time D1 schools can produce a great NFL player is dumb. Where did Jerry Rice play football?

Naaman Roosevelt, Bills - A hometown favorite from the University of Buffalo, Roosevelt stepped in with five second-half catches against the Eagles after Donald Jones went down with a high-ankle sprain in Week 5. Roosevelt will move into three-wide sets with Stevie Johnson and David Nelson, who was shifted outside after Jones’ injury. As we’ve noted in the past with Nelson, the slot receiver in Chan Gailey’s offense offers PPR potential.

I still like DHB. He is the #1 in Oakland and is proving it this season. Little is definitely worth grabbing but I am not sure that he is an immediate starter.
