Week 6 waiver wire? (2 Viewers)

[chad in Indy]

Any completed waivers reports on how high the bidding for Charcandrick West went? I know most people had their waivers run last night, but mine runs tonight. I'm nowhere near the top of my league in terms of FAAB, but I'm willing to throw all 58% of what I have remaining at him.

50% of total budget in one league.

Got him for 60% Next couple losing bids were just over 50%

 

[Pearl Frumpkin]

Momentum on Diggs seems to be building. I think Diggs (Charles Johnson), Montgomery (Adams) and Marquess Wilson (Royal/Alshon) all make good week 6 plays due to the injuries listed. Trying to determine which of these would most likely hold value when the injured player I listed returns. Leaning Diggs there as Charles Johnson has a limited track record.

Bears fan here. The thing about Royal is he was originally signed to be the slot WR (With Alshon and White running on the outside). So there may be a chance that they keep Wilson as the WR2 and use Royal in the slot where he is most effective. Obviously there is a big difference between White and Wilson, but Wilson is much better suited to be on the outside due to his length and deep ball ability.

This is speculative, but then the question becomes who has more value? Bears WR2, Vikings WR2 or GB WR 3/4?

Thank you very much for the reply. Good stuff! When is Kevin White expected back? Thanks..

No one knows. Fox runs his injury info just like the Pats. When he went on the IR there were a lot of rumors that White would be out the entire year. But the earliest rumor I have heard is 10 - 12 weeks.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Just put in a preemptive claim on everyone's favorite backup RB, C. Michael:

per rotowire: Michael could get the start at running back in Week 7 rather than Joseph Randle, ESPN Dallas reports.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Preemptive waivers for deep leagues-

Chase Daniels for high risk reward that might not pan out.

Regularly one of the best non-starting QBs in preseason and you'd probably be surprised how the Chiefs look with him at the helm.

Is there some specific reason that you think that Daniel will become the starter?

 

[JoeyJoJoJuniorShabadoo]

Either Antonio Andrews and Bishop Sankey? Either (or both) are available in a few of my leagues, if you're super desperate at RB (like me)

odd. Have all 3 of those guys on my bench. Just need one to turn out. I'll keep you updated

 

[Van Dyman]

The Titans RB usage is crazy with Sankey, Andrews, McCluster, plus Cobb returning in a few weeks. I'd prefer Andrews over Sankey but they all have a low floor and low ceiling. There are probably better options out there.

 

[Instinctive]

Someone mentioned above now is the time to grab Michael if you have space. Worth a shot as much as anyone else I suppose.

For the West question, he went for 60% in my league.

There really isn't. But agree that the RBBC mess in Tennessee is best avoided

 

[loonzilla]

Bradshaw signed with Colts...he should be a target.

Charles Johnson (but not Wallace), Davante Adams, and Alshon (not sure on Royal) returned to practice today. Lol.. waters muddied!

I'd be surprised if Reuben Randle plays. Maybe for a single week (or DFS) only play, Dwayne Harris might be the move.

 

[SeanTaylor21]

For the West question, he went for 60% in my league.

Went for 79% in my league.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Somebody in my league just traded for a player and a bunch of FAAB cash. He's got 110% now. Waivers runs tonight. West is his if he goes for it. Will be interesting to see how high he goes.

Definitely a situation to watch closely. Small WRs Cooks and Snead did well against PHI last week. It could be a big night for OBJ, Harris, and Vereen.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Buck Allen and Shoelaces should likely be rostered just to see how the injuries to Forsett and Yeldon shake out.

 

[JIslander]

Buck Allen and Shoelaces should likely be rostered just to see how the injuries to Forsett and Yeldon shake out.

Ravens Taliafero on IR --picked up Raheem Mostert --have no idea how much the kid will play --

Mostert was awesome in preseason. Hope he gets a shot.

 

[JIslander]

Bradshaw signed with Colts...he should be a target.

What's his condition? Is he football ready?

 

[3nOut]

A team in my league dropped Chris Johnson. With Bradshaw also now available, I'm not sure which is the better pickup.

 

[Van Dyman]

Buck Allen and Shoelaces should likely be rostered just to see how the injuries to Forsett and Yeldon shake out.

Yeldon (groin) didn't practice today. Does anyone ever miss a single week due to a groin injury? Anybody know if it's a strain, sprain, etc? We need a doctor in here, stat!

 

[The Kerminator]

If you had a shot at the following in Non-PPR, as a bye week plug, who do you pick up:

M. Wilson

J. Crowder

T. Montgomery

S. Diggs

I'm gonna take a shot at this.

Short term, on this list, and maybe even going forward...I like Ty Montgomery. He's got the best QB to throw to him and he's getting involved more, which means more red zone looks and overall scoring chances. I don't think James Jones can keep up the pace, and see Monty emerging here as the season goes on.

I feel like the assumption running through a lot of these analyses is that the WR3 role in GB has value, but, even leaving aside their recent offensive woes, has that ever been true? IIRC, Jones' last big year was before Cobb really busted out, and for all the hype Adams got last year, his final numbers were nothing special. He had a few decent games, but I'm not sure there was ever a point where you could start him with confidence.

So if we assume there's only one viable WR spot after Cobb, are you really willing to bet that Montgomery will emerge as a WR2 over Jones, Adams and Janis? Also, while I agree with you that the whole Jones thing just seems crazy and unsustainable, there's some ridiculous stat Matthew Berry keeps citing where Jones has like 20 TDs in his last 25 games with Rodgers. At some point, it's time to stop wondering if it's "sustainable" and realize it's already been sustained.

Not picking on you in particular, just pushing back against the CW that the Packers' offense is so prolific, anyone who has a role in it has fantasy value. Historically, I don't see the evidence for that.

Are you forgetting about Jordy Nelson? Adams was the 3rd WR behind Cobb and Nelson. He still had a few very good games. When he returns he'll be back to the no. 2 WR. He got in limited practice today and beat writers think there is a chance he plays this week. I think they'll hold him out one more week and take advantage of the bye. Been lots of talk this week how the Packers Offense is missing a deep threat this year and Adams will help that. Rodgers also mentioned after last weeks game that the WRs need to do a better job running their routes. IMO all signs are pointing to Adams returning to a prominent role.

Montgomery will be bumped to the no. 4 WR behind Cobb, Adams and Jones. GB offense can sustain 3 fantasy WRs. 4? No.

 

[topman]

I am debating dropping Kapernick for Blake Bortles. Any new news on his ininjury?

I see you all think highly of Stefon Diggs, but would he overtake Mike Wallace? Or is it just a speculative add?

No, I wasn't forgetting Nelson. My point was that Adams was WR3 last year, and he wasn't a viable starter. Check out his game log. Even though he basically played all season, his final line was 38/446/3. He only had four games where he recorded more than 2 catches, and his three TDs came in games where he had 1, 2 and 1 catch. So there was never a point where you were rolling him out with any confidence.

Montgomery will be bumped to the no. 4 WR behind Cobb, Adams and Jones. GB offense can sustain 3 fantasy WRs. 4? No.

What evidence do we have that they can sustain three? When during the Aaron Rodgers era has that been true?

not wallace. Maybe Johnson.

 

[TZMarkie]

Mostert was awesome in preseason. Hope he gets a shot.

Agreed.............

I saw him preseason and asked myself 3 different times why he wasn't locked into a backfield somewhere already.

The fact he was doing special teams work makes him all the more attractive in my opinion.

Normally where there is smoke there is fire, and maybe there are some underlying issues we don't know about.

Count me in as a fan of the guy though.

[Raiderfan32904]

I went all in on all 3 of my leagues for C West. Shocked that I landed him in two.

Winning bids were $42 and $56 out of 100. Losing bid was $42, winning bid was $78

Overall pretty stoked!

 

[AcerFC]

Thinly veiled AC question but it might actually help more owners than just me

D Cobb is still on my ww. I had an open spot and picked up Diggs last night. Didnt read the news on Bradshaw until late and he was still out there so I picked him up, dropped Diggs. Would you rather Bradshaw knowing what he can give in that offense or Cobb with a small chance that you get a starting RB in week 10 or 11

 

[BobbyLayne]

Buck Allen and Shoelaces should likely be rostered just to see how the injuries to Forsett and Yeldon shake out.

Denard missed three games with a knee injury and just started practicing again yesterday. Toby Gerhart took the first team reps.

I picked up Bradshaw in all leagues. I don't have much faith in any Titans RB, and Bradshaw has a ton of upside if Gore breaks down. It wouldn't even be a question to me.

 

[bignatecv]

Got Bradshaw in one league and C. Mike in another.

I could really use some help from C. Mike, which probably means that Bradshaw will go off. Either way I'm happy to see what happens.

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

Started to wonder about David Cobb myself.

The Titans plan for RB David Cobb (calf) to return to practice next week.
Cobb is on the Titans' injured reserve-designated for return list. While he can begin practicing next week, Cobb is not eligible to resume playing in games until Week 9 against the Saints. Tennessee's backfield has been the ultimate fantasy quagmire so far, with Bishop Sankey, Dexter McCluster, and Antonio Andrews all rotating. Cobb is the best interior runner on the roster. Oct 12 - 4:00 PM

I finally broke down and picked up Bradshaw...I had to drop David Johnson though. We'll see how that pans out, but for sure you're better off with him than any Titans RB.

With Ellington coming back that was the most expendable person on my roster (I also dropped my backup QB for Buck Allen).

Like I said, I "broke down" so...wasn't easy. Oh well...that's my therapy for the day

 

[Raiderfan32904]

David Johnson is way too valuable to leave on the wire. Even though CJ is the starter, DJ gets the goal line looks and he's a load to take down. I also don't think Ellington's return is a huge hit on DJ's value. Maybe a hit to CJ though. In any case, I'd much rather have DJ than Buck Allen.

Denard missed three games with a knee injury and just started practicing again yesterday. Toby Gerhart took the first team reps.

Yeah I just saw that, looks like it'd be some type of a split in JAC. Either way, Forsett and Yeldon are both trending down.

Forsett ran for 150 yards Week 4 and week 5 he had 121, 1 TD, and added 49 yards receiving. He may or may not miss the game Sunday but he's not trending down.

Oh, to be clear I'm only referring to their availability for this week. Both missed practice again today.

 

[Joe Summer]

Stud rookies do not trend downward when a backup returns to practice.

 

[Rushmore]

Seeing mention of many of this same group of WR's:

*Diggs

*Crowder

*Harris

*Wilson

Anyone care to rank them? I'm thinking perhaps Crowder to be the best of the bunch, but have recently heard some good things about Diggs.

Thoughts on Shorts this week? Looks like he's back in at #2 with Washington out and Strong questionable. 8+ targets every week.

I don't ever remember a b year that the Packers had 3 receivers in the top 30 for fantasy scoring
