Healthy scratch. Rotoworld reported it was because he doesn't play special teams. Still, it seems weird to imagine everyone getting excited about a guy who wasn't even on the field this week.

That's crazy. I even started him in a league this week. One of only 2 leagues out of 7 I even have a chance of winning this week. :(
Definitely going to make sure I put a good offer on him if I and everybody else let him slip through so far, but I'm not holding my breathe on finding him in a competitive league
Definitely going to be popular for leagues who didn't preemptively grab him.
Should already be owned in pretty much every league, no? Especially after last week.
He's definitely at the top of my list

I'll add RG3 if he was dropped and you have deep benches. Latest report said he will be back week 8.

Definitely Brady > Griffin
And he was surely dropped in quite a few leagues last week.

Anyone watching Luke Willson-TE with SEA in deep leagues? He flashed some last year and has nice measurables. Zach Miller sounds like he's out. Not sure if that offense can support a productive tight end, or an every week start, but maybe his talent can prevail?

No kidding. Leagues like mine with 9 starters and 14 roster spots dont typically hold guys who had a whopping 9 catches going into week 5. There are alot of leagues with small roster sizes that cause guys like Hunter to be dropped due to injuries or byes.

Oliver
Anderson
Hillman
Cunningham
How do we rank these guys? Any other RBs who should be in that mix?

He isn't worth an add unless you are in dynasty. Even at that I don't think the TE is enough part of this offense to consider him.

Oliver first. Cunningham last. I think cj over hillman but no one really knows
Long Ball Larry
Footballguy
Don't you think that it is possibly that Cunningham will have the most opportunity of all of them? If Stacy ends up missing a few weeks?

just a general list of people to target that are likely available in many redrafts week 6:
QBs- Brady, Hoyer, whichever Tenn QB is active v Jax
RB- Oliver, Williams, Hillman, Cunningham, Winn **I avoided CAR (Reaves, Stewart, etc.), and really want to avoid the dreaded Hillman that I had believed in for past two years.**
WR- Beckham Jr., Murphy, Hunter, MFloyd (SD), Holmes
TE- Wright, Clay

I'll go against the consensus and put Hillman and Andre Williams ahead of Oliver. Hillman is in such a high scoring offense that I think he's a can't miss. Just look at Knowshon Moreno last year. Also, Mathews should be back in 1-2 weeks, Jennings in 2 weeks and Ball in 3 weeks.

like Ball? Or like Brandon Jacson that one year in GB?

He was on the field for a minimal amount of snaps and until he does the same production again I have to look at last night as an anomaly.
Chaka

Not really. He is worth rostering but you have to go through about 4 dud games before you get to harvest one breakout game. If he gets into your lineup he does more harm than good. I would have no problem leaving him on the waiver wire, let him be someone else's headache.

Also of issue is that Stacy's injury is just a strain, and per early reports (per Rapoport) he may be good to go. Rams have shown that Stacy is their primary back, so Cunningham has little value unless Stacy is out. Would pick Cunningham up only as a longer term play / hedging against Stacy's calf gets reaggravated.

Im thinking ya might have nailed it w/ Storm..
Id like to get onboard, but I cant see parting w/ a player to do it. (Even Roddy has me doubting him)

I have the top waiver and have to pick between Oliver and Williams. Tough choice....

Oliver seems like the better choice. Even when Mathews returns, Oliver should get a decent amount of touches.kingmalaki said:

This is my decision too. Oliver appears the better bet for maybe more explosive numbers over the next couple of weeks, particularly with Oakland up next. Williams might be a more solid choice with less upside but longer playing opportunity, though we don't know Jennings' prognosis yet. I'm leaning Oliver but not 100%.

Make sure and target Charles Sims if you are in a dynasty league too. Begins practicing next week. Is ahead of schedule.

I don't think any of them is a home run. I think Oliver is the safest bet for value next year and has the biggest expected points over the next month, so he's a clear 1st. Anderson is the home run swing, but Denver likely signs/drafts someone to compete with Ball. Johnson can back into being a penciled-in starter, and I would probably take him over Anderson because of that. I think Hillman is the least likely to be worth rostering next year and at best is a Helu-like player, so he's a clear last for me.

Jordan Cameron worth an add if he was dropped for us Graham owners?
