Week 7 Waiver Wire (1 Viewer)

[SaintsInDome2006]

It's old hat around here but if you haven't joined the party yet Michael seems to be on the verge of getting called the starter in Dallas. Just 54% owned in CBS.

Matt Stafford?

I dropped him from my Eli/Stafford QB by committee, but if he starts going deep more, he could be a nice pair.

Depends on whether you think yesterady was anomaly against an awful Bears defense or if Stafford and the Lions are turning things around.

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

good call for DIGGS last week gents, will be going after him this week.

since you all care about my team, I had a bid in for him reading the week 6 thread but i pulled it back. i also sat martavis on the bench. martavis + digs > my actual WRs + RBs for the week. will keep you posted.

is Taylor injury short term or is EJ worth a desperation look? @Jax this week.

So pissed I chose this week to replace him, but he had sucked so bad. I think he outscored his last 3 or 4 weeks combined on Sunday. Not sure if I want to try and chase last week again. He wouldn't even have been a thought if Taylor wasn't out. He could be better going forward but he is absolutely going to cost people wins if they are chasing Sunday's points. He had 8 points in my league in weeks 4 and 5. That is 15-20 points less than your opponent.

 

[Van Dyman]

I think I will take a running shot at Turbin this week, he seems to be taking that situation over in Cleveland. What that's worth I have no idea.

Not sure about that. It appears to be a full blown 3 headed RBBC at this point.

I think he might be score similarly to Crowell or Duke if one of them misses time, but if they're healthy Turbin looks to be the smallest piece of a 3-man RBBC. Didn't we already go through this last year with Tate/Crowell/West? That situation inspired a lot more discussion than fantasy production.

Well, I thought Dodds was insane for projecting good numbers for Hoyer vs Jags, but it looks like he might know a bit more than me about these things. Maybe the lesson is any QB @Jags is worth a look.

I have the waiver claim in to re acquire him dropping Fanny hill.

His schedule for the first 5 weeks was brutal, so he was a decent bet to break out against the Bears...especially after enduring a humiliating benching last week. I considered dropping him myself, but had to give him 1 more week. If he regresses next week I may yet drop him.

I can't shake the feeling that the Hawks would have made something of Michael if there was anything there. It takes more than a freakish athlete to succeed at RB - We've seen that proven time and again. This is one of those that I'll have to see to believe, so if he goes off next week he'll probably do it on someone else's roster.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

i grabbed RB Cobb last week hoping for some production when he finally plays

 

[Van Dyman]

I hope that works for you but as a Titans fan gotta tell you we're not expecting anything from him. 5th round pick who has barely been with the team at all. I think he can displace West so, he should provide at least as much fantasy production as West has been providing this year.

PSSSSSSSS....(air being let out of my balloon of hope lol)

 

[Arodin]

At this rate, Riley Cooper is going to be a popular add. And fool's gold, most likely.

James Starks was a 6th round draft choice who started on IR designated to return... He went on to give the packers a huge boost for their playoff run to the superbowl.

Not saying Cobb is going to lead TEN to a SB, just pointing out that crazier things have happened...

 

[loose circuits]

not sure why fool's gold. He's been more involved past few weeks. He's shown he can be a decent fantasy contributor unless you are completely writing off his entire season

Expecting his usage tonight to reflect mainly on the absence of Agholor and injury to Huff, and such. Expecting his production to be too inconsistent to rely upon going forward (as compared to the other waiver wire darling, Diggs for example).

[zftcg]

I don't know his ownership % so don't know how many have grabbed him, but I think Josh McCown has to be considered a weekly option or streamer at a minimum.

Agreed. Actually Hoyer and McCown are both available in one of my leagues and both worth the stash (although in my case I only need them on week 10, barring another Luck injury). Hoyer in particular has a very nice schedule moving forward.

With Taylor still iffy to return (and on bye the following week), I'm dropping Peyton to pick someone else up for the next two weeks. Put in my claims for Hoyer, then McCown. I think McCown might be a better QB in a vaccuum (and there's less of a risk of him getting benched mid-game), but he has two tough match-ups the next couple weeks. Hoyer's schedule looks a little better. Still, both have put up points in just about every week where they played the majority of the game this year, so I'll be happy with whoever I get.

One other streaming option for the next couple weeks: Bridgewater. He has good matchups (@DET/@CHI), and Diggs seems to be emerging, though he has yet to throw for more than 1 TD in any game this year.

Been mentioned elsewhere but Hawks and Boys running games are not similar. Look at Murray in Philly. He's running east-west now but he's a north-south back (like he was in Dally). Hawks ask a lot from their RBs - want them to pause behind blockers and then shuffle through a tiny gap. But the Boys just want a bruiser - they want a north-south back like Murray.

And CMike didn't succeed in Seattle for that very reason - he's a bruiser who just want to pound the rock.

He'll get that chance this year.

Whether he succeeds is up to the gods, but he's damn-sure a better fit for the Boys than he was the Hawks.

I disagree with this completely. Youre listening to Gruden fill up talking time too mich. Murray is not a bruiser. And if Philly uses an east-west attack why dud they trade thebest east-west runner out there to start the season? No coach likes when a back runs east-west...

I'll agree the Dallas and Seattle rushing attacks are very different but 1- why draft a RB who doesn't fit your scheme (and that Seattle gm is a very good drafter)? And 2- why let a great talent go for essentially a 7th rounder?

 

[Catbird]

CMike was a bad fit in Seattle because he is a bruiser who just wants to pound the rock? How is that unlike the other bruiser there - the guy he couldn't take any snaps from? You think he didn't fit well in Seattle because they didn't want a bruiser to pound the ball?

 

[DarkManX]

Paul Richardson most likely coming off PUP could be worth a look in deeper leagues. My waiver wire is pretty bare.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

The waiver wire is for #### this week.

 

[Bri]

Kenbrell Thompkins or no?

Enunwa suspended. Decker's knee is sore.

Just rook Smith and Kerley ahead of him on depth chart

It's kind of hard to explain to somebody who won't listen and obviously doesn't understand scheme. Seattle and Dallas run very different schemes. Murray is not a good fit for the Eagles offense and this was stated when Murray sign there and has been the reason it's been talked about why he's not succeeding for weeks. The answer question why would Seattle let him go they didn't they traded him cause hello, he doesn't fit their scheme.

And as far as Seattle having a good "drafter", The guy who drafted Michael is no longer there.

 

[JohnnyU]

I always look forward to looking into the weekly waiver wire thread but this week the players mentioned you're a day late and a dollar short.

 

[MattFancy]

Diggs is out there in one of my leagues. Don't have much to drop due to injuries and bye weeks, but would you guys prefer Diggs or Adams ROS?

Paul Richardson most likely coming off PUP could be worth a look in deeper leagues. My waiver wire is pretty bare.

I think I'd go LaFell first if he's out there. Or someone like Stevie Johnson if dropped.

Interesting. Stevie and Hankerson are currently the last two players on my bench. No need to drop either of them right now, but if someone emerges I'd have a decision to make. ( In fact, if I had moved more quickly on Diggs or Michael, at least one of them would already be gone.)

Was thinking Stevie just because his return is so uncertain, hamstring injuries tend to linger/recur, and even when he does get back, there are a lot of mouths to feed in SD.

Murray is the definition of a downhill runner. For years at OU, we watched as he was amazing when there was a big hole, and he lost yards whenever vision was required to make something. He was never really a patient, see it and explode type of guy - he goes where the play is designed and if it works, it works really well. Now, there are exceptions to every rule, but most of the time that's what Murray will do.

 

[Polka King]

good call for DIGGS last week gents, will be going after him this week.

since you all care about my team, I had a bid in for him reading the week 6 thread but i pulled it back. i also sat martavis on the bench. martavis + digs > my actual WRs + RBs for the week. will keep you posted.

is Taylor injury short term or is EJ worth a desperation look? @Jax this week.

Well, I thought Dodds was insane for projecting good numbers for Hoyer vs Jags, but it looks like he might know a bit more than me about these things. Maybe the lesson is any QB @Jags is worth a look.

I don't know how your scoring is setup, but Dodds convinced me NOT to go with Hoyer this week. He was bottom of the barrel in the rankings. I went with Bradford and Bridgewater instead. I don't really care because it was ultimately my decision, but I disagree with this premise.

It wasn't Dodds. Dodds ranked Hoyer low. Tremblay went out on a pretty big limb and had Hoyer ranked like 5th, when Bloom and Dodds both had him out of the top 12. I was surprised he had him so high but that was a really good call.

Probably an utter waste of roster spot, but sounds like Victor Cruz's calf is finally settling down... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/10/20/report-victor-cruz-feeling-no-pain-in-calf/

I have my doubts he can even survive back-to-back full practices at this point, but whatevs. Might be worth the free/cheap add for a couple weeks in deep bench leagues.

 

[Efritch4]

Is anybody buying on Chris Thompson?

 

[matuski]

Is anybody buying on Chris Thompson?

4 weeks ago, yes.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Two guys who won't do much this week but they should be available in many leagues are Bronco backup QB Brock Osweiler and NYG WR Victor Cruz.

After getting a look at QB Peyton Manning I have to say grab Brock Osweiler now before they make the switch. Also WR Victor Cruz was mentioned and he's getting close to being activated.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Damn this thread is depressing

 

[shadyridr]

Only guy Im slightly interested in that is available in my league is Riddick

 

[devouredbychaos]

Starks. He should be available in most redraft leagues I'd imagine.

 

[Shawn]

I think I will take a running shot at Turbin this week, he seems to be taking that situation over in Cleveland. What that's worth I have no idea.

Being a Seahawks fan, I have seen pretty much every carry that Turbin had while he was in Seattle, and he is underwhelming to say the least. I would be very surprised if he makes anything of his potential opportunity.

agree 100%. I was glad to see him leave.

 

[DocHolliday]

It is slim pickings this week. Diggs is worth a shot if WR help is needed.

Someone in my league loaded at RB dropped Jonathan Stewart last week. I was excited about that possible waiver claim until I saw his numbers. Good grief. I am desperate at RB after losing Charles and having gimpy Forsett and Hyde. Not sure Stewart is the answer but I may have to do it.

I saw Cruz mentioned. If he would get healthy, he could be FF relevant. I have no idea if he is close to 100% or even 90%. Could be a Hail Mary add if you have room on your bench.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

FML I need to pick up Landry Jones or Zach Mettenberger to cover A Rodgers bye week. (start 2)

I am thinking about this move. I have Stafford, didn't play him this past weekend, and went with Cutler. Cost me 15 points, but I managed to pull off the W. Thing is, right now I am rostering Stafford, Cutler and Romo. Grabbing a 4th QB makes no sense. What's the deal on the Vikes pass D/rush? Am I playing with fire and chasing points if I stick with Stafford?

 

[JoeyJoJoJuniorShabadoo]

Cup is very bare this week. Waiting to see if anybody worthwhile gets dropped due to bye weeks.

 

[Interseptopus]

Cup is very bare this week. Waiting to see if anybody worthwhile gets dropped due to bye weeks.

My thoughts exactly. This is the time of year either an injury to a starter or a dropped player for byes is all there is to pick up
