Easy bro.

Titus Young headed into a bye week, he's a rookie, yada yada yada
I think he's a good stash for the stretch run if he and Stafford start clicking more
You know Calvin will always draw the best coverage and this kid is good

Picked up Ringer last week. YES YOU CARE.

one of the few guys on most WW in this thread so far. well him and chris obonganonga

Of course I do. I'll up the ante and jump in to say I picked him up yesterday and started him today.
I'm sure Faulk is pretty much on every WW as well.
Consistently putting up okay to good numbers. As a #3/#4 you can do worse, though he's rostered in all my leagues I think.

Possibly celek?

Footballguy
who?
He had a 41 yd TD on a completely broken play where the closet DB was at least 15 yds away while he stood in the endzone. I wouldn't put much faith in him.
Cruz got mentioned and is owned in almost all leagues, Doucet (10.2%) is the only guy owned in more than 10% of espn leagues. Obviously shark pool players tend to play in more competitive leagues w/ deeper rosters but I dont get why people always over state this stuff and try and limit the conversation.
Hipple Long Ware & Peete
Footballguy
yeah faulk, and ball are, but not like those guys are worth anything...
kimbosliced
Footballguy
I agree. It's typically not helpful--sorry he isn't available in your league, move on...no need to be a #### about it.
Hipple Long Ware & Peete
Footballguy
Doucet had yet to be mentioned when I posted that. I agree with that one.But Ringer, Cruz, Ballard, clearly don't belong in a WW hopeful's thread.

Ringer--less than 3% of espn.com leaguesBallard--less than 10%You are incorrect sir, both deserve mentioning. I would like to add L. Robinson also.
Laurent Robinson? I thought he would break out with the Rams and he never did partially due to injuries. He had a great game against Detroit a few weeks ago and Romo seems to like him despite having Austin, Bryant, and Witten. There are probably too many mouths to feed here but he might be worth a flier if you have a deep bench.

Damian Williams also.
THE SNOWMAN
Footballguy
He might be a popular pickup but for all the wrong reasons. He is arguably the #4 receiver in Dallas, and he pretty much reached all of his stats on that one busted defensive play. Basically if somebody just looks at stats and not watch the game, they are the people to pick him up. He has no value unless your in a 16 team league or something ridiculous.
kimbosliced
Footballguy
Game isn't over but he is leading the team in targets far and away with 7. This is obviously a product of the eagles two stud corners but worth a note.

Actually, I was only mentioning them because they will be the major recipients of additional targets. Barden is still on PUP and not even active and has really shown nothing. He'd be a wasted waiver pick.
Kenny Powers

The bolded is all that needs to be said. Robinson is a waste of a pickup

Anyone know how long Robinson is signed with Cowboys?

As a Giants fan, Barden just got off the PUP and no way he's pup ahead of Cruz and Manningham. Jernigan or Devin Thomas have more value as Giants WRs.

well, considering Cruz and Manningham were owned in almost all leagues (at least any that i'm in), why wouldn't Barden be worth consideration? There was some hype about him this past week and he's always been an intriguing prospect who has just been slowed by injuries. If he's healthy, there is a chance he could make a splash

Well Hillis and Hardesty may be out next week too, def worth a flier. You know he'll get like 20 carries if he's the only guy.

No question that play was a fluke, blown coverage. Yet if you have watched him play this week, he is a serious talent, able to get separation, and should be primed for a solid second half.'mtyson said:

Yes, the top 2 backs on the Browns have been tearing it up. Make sure to roster the Browns 3rd RB as well. Browns running game is a key to fantasy success.'jonboltz said:
Rotoworld appeared to answer my question rather quickly...The Patriots consider Kevin Faulk their top "passing back," according to beat writer Mike Reiss.With the Patriots trailing for most of yesterday's game against the Steelers, Faulk got a heavy workload in his 2011 debut. He played on 39-of-58 offensive snaps, way more than BenJarvus Green-Ellis (13) or Danny Woodhead (4). The role of each back will depend on the score and game flow, so predicting week-to-week workloads here is going to be very difficult. The Patriots host the Giants next Sunday. That's a pretty huge disparity in snaps for Faulk vs Woodhead.
Dought Man
Footballguy
The Woodhead experiment has come to an end. That schtick was fun though... Belicheck thinks he can just plug anyone in there.
Flutie Flake
Footballguy
He was the primary back for the Pats on Sunday. They only play one back at a time due to the 2 TE base set, and Faulk played 39 of the 58 snaps (low number of snaps shows for the Pitt offense dominated the game). Green-Ellis was next with 13.Seems odd, I really think Woodhead is a better player and their skill sets are similar.He's ownable in 12+ team PPR leagues, but his upside is very limited.

Why make this post? He said in deeper leagues. Can it with your crap. I play in one league where every single player listed in this thread is already rostered. I started Keiland Williams as one of my starting running backs. If you're in a shallow/normal league then of course avoid Cleveland. But if you're in a deeper league (as he stated), a guy who will get points - no matter how few - is worth picking up.
