Don't trust the Raiders DST this year. They will play up to the big boys and will get flattened by doormats. I'm looking at Buffalo hosting TENN this week. Looks like a great matchup and available in all my leagues.Howzabout your very own Raihhhduz hosting Gabbert and co.? Respectable enough last week in Atlanta, quite sure they are readily available in just about every league. /'jackthat's a whole nother thread. You want to start it?

I would think he definitely sees some passes thrown his way.
Given how much the Saints pass, the center and the guards might see some passes thrown their way.
Team ROFLCOPTERS

Like any other site, if you don't log into the site for 3 weeks that team does not count in the percentages. Although 3 weeks is still inactive.

What do you guys think of Felix Jones, he did look good and he has Carolina.
I've got Charles on a bye this week and Ray Rice on a bye next week and you never know with these foot sprains how long a player will be out, this is the same injury that they said would cost DMC two weeks last season and it never got right and cost him the season.

You may have some of these guys or they may be rostered, but either/or, if maybe:
- Felix Jones, obvious, right? Then why do I have the feeling Tanner's the guy to get here.
DRichardson
Tanner
William Powell
Chris Givens - why not more talk here?
Kendall Wright
Tampa Mike - if available, or trade low for (argument being he can't keep it going when you think he can)
Raiders DST
Flyer:
Stephen Hill
Trade for:
Spiller
Jennings

Grab Phillip Tanner if you don't have the #1 claim. Lance Dunbar in a 14 or 16 team league.

Spiller has a terrible schedule from here on out, especially during weeks 15-16. He plays MIA twice, Seattle, etc.

For those interested in F.Jones and/or Tanner: Here is the breakdown of touches once Tanner started to get involved.
Felix Jones: 13 touches: 12 runs (one resulted in a penalty) and 1 pass target.
Tanner: 9 touches: all runs.
What I can gather from this: FJones will get more touches, but he will not be the complete head honcho (yes, small sample size).
The stats above indicate a 60/40 split.

Felix cramped and left the game for a series or two IIRC. Not sure that's how useful that split will be going forward.
silentcoach
Footballguy
True, but F.Jones does what he does--he cramps, he gets injured, it's what makes felix, felix. Something that should be considered when he is being scooped up. For the record, if T.Richardson is out, i'd take Hardesty over Felix.
Felix for sure...

Skelton if your in need of QB help.
Playing behind the Cardinals' offensive line produces injury reports that look like the fallout from an auto accident. In addition to a sprained sternoclavicular joint and detached ribs, Kolb also suffered a shoulder injury against the Bills. The Cardinals have already used their "designated for return" I.R. spot on Beanie Wells, so that won't be an option for Kolb. John Skelton will take over as the starter with rookie Ryan Lindley in reserve. Richard Bartel is not eligible to be re-signed until Monday.
Inital report yes but MRI must have shown more.CBS Sports' Jason LaCanfora reports Kevin Kolb will miss "six weeks or more" with multiple injuries sustained in Week 6.

Last year against TB when Murray was out:Felix 26 touches (runs and targets) and S.Morris 1465/25 split and keep in mind that this was the first time S.Morris had any action for the year.I venture that a 65/35 split is a safe bet in favor of Felix Jones.

Jones was the starter at the beginning of last year and he lasted through Game 4 or so?I think it was Game 6 that Murray really took over.Tanner just looks like the better runner to me and basically it's a flier that Felix could get dinged but a flier with some chance.

miami will be a bottom half run d by season's end. take that into consideration, and he has a great schedule. and he's matchup-proof, imo.
silentcoach
Footballguy
Spiller is not matchup proof considering how buffalo uses him with F.Jackson around.
Mia being bottom half is just a conclusion. I can say they will be top 8 for kicks, and it would hold as much water as your statement.

Shonn Greene, he was dropped last week. Added question...p/u Greene or Felix.
Greene is who he is but gets the touches and if Murray is out for a while Felix could be this years "late" WW darling behind Morris.

If I had Greene, I think I'd be extremely thankful for the breakout and be trying to trade him for max value right about now.
it's my prediction. they got chewed up this past weekend. they were good over a small sample size of 4 weeks. doesn't mean they will be good for 17. this thread/board is all about making predictions. not sure what you don't understand about that. 90% of the recommended pickups in this thread will prove to be worthless.
silentcoach
Footballguy
what you fail to understand is that there are different "types" of predictions. Your statement, if you can look back at it, simply states "they will be bottom half" and gives NO reference as to why. Now, if you back it up with some sort of evidence, or reasoning, then perhaps it would be credible. But then again, it does not mean you are not right, but reasoning always helps. I point to Spiller not being matchup proof currently. Why? Look at 2 weeks ago.(or i could have simply said "Spiller is not matchup proof" and not told you why)---get it?

Cedric Peerman.
He may not be relevant without an injury to BJGE, but he's making a push for more playing time. He has had 6 rushes this year, 4 of them for 7 yards or more. He had 8 catches last week, 5 of which were for 1st downs. Scott is out for the year. Leonard got hurt last week. BJGE has been extremely average, hitting 4 ypc in only the first game. Peerman only needs an opportunity.

I was scrolling down to see if someone had mentioned more on Peerman, and I think you nailed it. Benjarvus is simply a warm body. I think Peerman will see a lot of catches with Scott done for the year.

Some ideas on backups:
Daryl Richardson - seems almost certain to split the carries and maybe even more down the road?
Tanner - Felix is Felix, what else can you say. But what is going on with Murray?
Bolden - Maybe you can trade for him, or maybe he got dropped. He dinged his knee somewhat vs the Hawks, so owners may think he had a poor outing and BB is doing his shananigans with RBs, when truth is Boldin was coming on.
Andre Brown - Like Bolden, had a concussion, left the game, and now owners may think he was crowded out by Bradshaw and Wilson. If dropped then add, if held then trade for.

I grabbed Denver D with HOU on the bye next week. Not a sexy MU with the Saints but at least they are at home coming off a bye week and actually rank 5th in points in the league that I am in. Getting a lot of sacks and FFs
Captain Hook
Footballguy
Kolb is out this week and several more ... but doubt Minny is availableCassel is on bye so you can't play a DST against him this week ...but reports are he might be back behind center in Week 8 when they play Oakland

How about Joel Dreessen? Seems to be getting more looks from Peyton and is a red zone scoring threat.

I went back in time to the preseason when he was available in my leagues and grabbed him. Lot of suggestions about a month old here.
Mr. Know-It-All

24 man roster with 14 starters - I have 7 guys on BYE, 2 IR, and 6 likely OUT due to injury. So basically 9 guys who COULD play this week. I will quite literally have to pick up 8-9 guys and start them this week...so some sample targets -
QB - Hasselback, Sanchez, Weeden, Skelton (one starter on bye the other OUT)
RB - Woodhead, Goodson, Wilson, Redman (1 starter is Sproles, other starteris on bye other potential starter is OUT)
WR - Gordon, Kendall Wright, Hernandez, Henderson (again of 3 starters required I have one healthy - 3 on bye - 2 questionable so I have to pick up 2)
DL - freaking crapshoot one on bye, one questionable, need one to pick up Chandler Jones or Greg Hardy only worth a damn
LB - lost 2 last week - only have Laurinaitas healthy - maybe Hawk, McClain, KJ Wright, Wheelr (hoping to get 2 from those)
so basically the only positions I don't need are K and DB...whole lot of speculation isn the guys I have listed but hopefully better than taking zeroes at those positions.
ETA - not asking for opinions - just listing guys I am bidding on.
