Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups (1 Viewer)

A few names not mentioned in this thread, probably only for 14+ leagues:

-Dez Briscoe, got 47 snaps and 10 targets to Benn's 18 & 1 in their last game.

-E Bennett, Cutler likes him and he should be back this week.

-D Alexander, Clayton looks like he will be placed on the IR, Gibson is pedestrian. The big problem, of course, is health.

-C Ivory, got only 6 carries because the game got out of hand, but if Ingram remains out I could see 10-12 touches this week.

-Raider Wrs D Moore & J Ford, with Palmer having another week to get adjusted, these guys could make an impact.

I'm wondering about the viability of those Raiders WRs for the rest of this season. Saw on a NFL N crawl that Palmer had the Raiders work-out TJ Houshmandzadeh; appears he wants TJ as his slot guy. I'm sensing zero value for Moore/Ford the rest of this season if the Raiders accommodate Palmer by signing TJH.
 
I may be high, but Jerome Simpson could be worth a look. He had an impressive number of targets before the bye and had a TD on Sunday.

 
Giving some consideration to Tashard Choice, now with the Skins. Torain/Helu not getting it done, and he may be in for a decent workload.

One can't just disregard this. Why would the Raiders bother working out TJ when they have all those supposedly talented receivers? No chemistry developing between Palmer and Moore/Ford?

Weren't we having this same discussion like 4 weeks ago?

Having a player mentioned more than once as a ww add bodes well for them. Now I'm shifting gears and saying that Jon Baldwin is the pickup this week.

How bad is Tolberts injury though? Would he not be ready next week?

Chargers RB Curtis Brinkley was diagnosed with a concussion following Monday's loss to the Chiefs.
All three of the Chargers' tailbacks are now nicked up. Thanks to the short week, it will be that much more difficult for Brinkley to get cleared ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers. This backfield won't have much clarity until later in the week, meaning owners need to take a "wait-and-see" approach.Source: San Diego Union-TribuneNov 1 - 8:09 AM
 
What about the Rams D? They stepped up big against the Saints, and they have the Cards possibly without Kolb this week (although maybe that's an improvement).

 
I have to say I'm very curious to see what Quiz Rodgers could do in a full-time role. He could potentially put up Lesean McCoy type of numbers were Burner to be injured. He's a terrific stash in keeper leagues.

 
SeaBass he was cut in alot of leagues after his injury. But he should be playing this weekend

Michael Bush and Torain. I've been sitting on #1 ww priority for four weeks in the Michael Bush league and I think this is probably the one to pull the trigger on.

McFadden's status is still in question for this week. You may want to hold onto Bush.As far as my list, I'm WR hunting and the following are all available in my league:Antonio BrownPercy Harvin (dropped last week)Jason AvantEmmanuel SandersDoug BaldwinDamian WilliamsI like Sanders less if Ward is healthy but the rest all looks like no worse than solid WR3 plays in PPR leagues with Brown and Harvin having higher upside in my opinion.

Ward does throw a wrench into the A. Brown and Sanders shows. They look so smooth as a threesome with Wallace, but Ward ruins both those guys when he comes back. Still nice, but a lot more hit or miss. Shame too, as Ward's had his day in the FF sun.

Thanks...I had forgot someone dropped Bush and I've got DMC...time for the handcuff if I can pick him up. Any Raiders homers think Taiwan Jones makes a push if DMC is out this weekend?
 
Seems like all 3 SD chargers are banged up. Who's next in line? Do they call up someone? Jacob Hester in line for some carries? Mathews (groin), Brinkley (concussion) Tolberts expected to carry the load but hes still recovering from a concussion and those could be iffy. Jacob Hester worth a shot in case Tolbert can't go? If not, who's 5th on the list??

Also keep in mind the very short week seeing that the Chargers played Monday.

I think they would call up Todman from PS since he knows the offense and use Hester as the #2 with Todman in emergency

Short week for the team as a whole, yes, but more days "off" for Tolbert as he recovered from his ailments & missed MNF, meaning he has the edge in the derby here, IMO.EDIT: Appearing on NFL Network's Around the League Live, Jason LaCanfora suggested Mike Tolbert (hamstring) will resume starting and "get a lot of carries" this week against the Packers. While Ryan Mathews' (groin) status is "up in the air for right now," the Chargers "feel good" about Tolbert being able to play this week. Tolbert will have to pass tests on Wednesday, but it sounds like he's being counted on as the primary runner for Week 9. The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee and NBC San Diego's Michael Gehlkin both agree with LaCanfora that Tolbert could be headed for a heavy workload this week.

I decided to go for Ringer and am going to see if I can package him with someone else to upgrade at WR. I don't subscribe to any other sites, but I know that FBG's has him ranked ridiculously high for the remainder of the year (21st I believe, in my league). They love to overrate guys in similar situations like this though.

 
whwnever tenn wakes up and makes ringer the primary back i see potential. not sure how high of a ceiling - def one of the most potential backs on the WW out there as of now

 
Picked up Crabtree this week from the wire. But, Jonathan Baldwin is still out there, and I am on the fence with who to target. I own Bowe, so I am inclined to stick with Crabby - but I feel like Baldwin may have a higher ceiling. I just don't think I would ever feel comfortable starting both KC wr's and would likely never start Baldwin over Bowe. But, at the end of the day you should pick the player you think will score more fantasy points. How do you guys value these two?

Had the choice between Ringer and Baldwin and decided to go Baldwin because of his upside. Between owning Demarco Murray, Michael Bush and Reggie Bush, I simply didn't want another "second fiddle". I like Baldwin's matchup this week and plan on starting him.

I'm also targeting Crabtree as waivers are to be awarded tonight. Don't forget about Steve Breaston in the KC mix. I'm also a Bowe owner and I don't see Baldwin continuing to have the targets moving forward as he did Monday Night. Great pickup getting Crabs :thumbup: , and I can only hope my bid on him is enough.

Supposedly Obomanu and (Big) Mike Williams play the same position, so if Mike Williams plays for SEA, Obomanu sits...and don't count on any SEA WRs if Whitehurst plays again.

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.

Im pretty sure I read that they werent taking him off the PUP listETA: I guess it was for last week and now they have 2 weeks to decide what to do

hard for a guy to come off PUP in the 1st week eligible. I don't think they consider Devin Thomas a WR candidate and I'm not sure Jernigan is ready based off all training camp reports.Just a flier to take, with nobody really emerging as a candidate in deeper leagues he's worth a shot especially dynasty leagues where he's sitting out there. Many times throughout his career he's been on the cusp, but things haven't broken his way

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:01:55 -0700



New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said WR Ramses Barden (ankle), who is still on the Physically Unable to Perform list, will see more work in practice this week with WR Hakeem Nicks (hamstring) banged up.

Good info, thanks
 
Rotoworld reports that Ahmad Bradshaw missed practice today and his foot is "swollen and sore."

If his history of foot problems becomes an issue, would Ware or Scott be worth a look, or does Jacobs get run into the ground?

not sure how bad Nicks hammy is though, he may be able to play
Barden ready to go ... and just in time

With WR Hakeem Nicks (hamstring) and WR Mario Manningham (illness) out of practice, Ramses Barden took “a good portion” of the snaps with the first team offense on Wednesday. He’s still on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, but he’ll almost certainly be activated by Saturday.

He could play a big role, too, especially if Nicks’ hamstring hasn’t healed in time. If that happens, Barden said he’s “ready to go.”

“I’m hungry, I’m excited, my body is bouncing back and it feels ready to do anything I ask it to,” said Barden, who has been on PUP all season while recovering from ankle surgery. “I can only talk so much about it. It’s been a while and I’m just ready to let my body speak for me.”

Giants | Ramses Barden expected back by Saturday Wed Nov 2, 10:53 PM

The New York Giants are expected to activate WR Ramses Barden (ankle) from the Physically-Unable-To-Perform (PUP) list by Saturday, Nov. 5. 'I'm hungry, I'm excited, my body is bouncing back and it feels ready to do anything I ask it to,' Barden said.

Barden update that everyone has been waiting for

Giants activate Ramses Barden off physically-unable-to-perform list

Nearly a year after breaking his leg, Ramses Barden is back on the Giants' 53-man roster.

The team activated the third-year wide receiver off the physically-unable-to-perform list today, meaning he'll likely suit up and play Sunday against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass. Barden figures to play a prominent role because wide receiver Hakeem Nicks has been downgraded from doubtful to out because of a hamstring injury he aggravated on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

has he been at practice all week?

nevermind...

Coughlin said Barden has been “pushed a little harder this week,’’ adding, “We’ll see. He’s practiced. He practiced probably about 50 percent of the time last week and we’ll see if he can’t continue [to do more].”

Looks like decent love for Jon Baldwin.

I spent a decent chunk of FAAB dollars to grab him. I'm sure I overpaid but I'm in a 16 team league with Britt down and VJax under performing. I dropped Breaston for him (his ceiling seems higher and I need someone with upside).

I can't seem to find any "inside" info on how much playing time Haley has planned for him, so I'm getting nervous.

Man I hope this third stringer turns into a solid WR2 right away!
