Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups (1 Viewer)

[Bad_Mo]

Tolbert if Williams is traded? Just a JStew injury away (not a rare occurrence) to the backfield by himself.

Now that's digging deep. If DWill gets traded, and if WHEN JStew gets injured.

I think he is on to something.

 

[MacAvery]

Dwilly. If you can pick him up now do it. If not traded by Tuesday night then drop him again.

Add Blount to that listNFL execs believe Blount available for trade

 

[Insein]

Starks

Is he going to get a legit shot?

If they don't pick up someone else, can't imagine they'll stick with Alex Green plodding at 2.4 ypc (his avg as starter) for 20+ carries/game.Probably looking atupside of 10-15 touches/game for Starks. However, there's always a shot that he handles most/all 1st/2nd down work.

They'd be better off with Ryan Grant running the ball than Alex Green. The guy is atrocious running the ball.

Wishful thinking. Green has looked this way for 3 weeks now and Starks has 5, 0 and 1 carries in those 3 weeks. Green ain't much but they like Starks even less.

But has Starks been fully healthy? I don't know the answer, maybe GB homers can chime in. Green has been pretty abysmal on the ground, but if Starks is fully healthy and they still show zero interest in giving him a chance, then that's pretty telling. If Starks has been held back because of his turf toe or whatever and is now getting healthy, he might get a chance.(??)

Starks is not on any injury report and he didn't see the field week 7.

That does not mean Starks has been healthy. I still believe that Starks may get a shot here. I just don't see Green gaining any tough yards and I think Green Bay would like to find a more physical option.

Green bay has also won the last 3 games. I think they're content with Green in the backfield until Benson heals. Which is like Week 13. He's there to get 3 or 4 yards every other series and pick up the blitz. Whatever it is, they don't seem to like Starks a little bit.

 

[pipedream]

Beanie Wells anyone? Reports are he was disappointed to be put on IR and is healthy and ready to go

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

DRichardson

Vereen

Thomas

Givens

Young

Shorts

Broyles

SMoss

On Bye, Trade for: Keller

 

[tombonneau]

Joique Bell if LeShoure is hurt.

What's the official word on this from Lions?

 

[RushHour]

Blount? At least a hold until the trade deadline passes.

 

[CentralPA]

Joique Bell if LeShoure is hurt.

What's the official word on this from Lions?

I think I heard LeShoure would be back this week so Bell is still just a good handcuff.

And on the 7th day, God created CECIL SHORTS !

This is one of those no brainers.

A. Two weeks ago at Oakland the Jaguars were going to be playing catch up to the Raiders. I picked up Shorts for $3 on waiver wire. His 17.90 fantasy points won me the game in high stakes.

B. Sunday at Green Bay the Jaguars were going to be playing catch up to the Packers, I gratefully started Shorts. His 19.60 fantasy points won me the game in high stakes.

I HAVE PICKED HIM UP IN ALMOST ALL MY LEAGUES and he has been a great flex and 3rd WR. He has four games of over 15 fantasy points in PPR.

In the last 2 weeks Shorts has outscored Wes Welker, Reggie Wayne, Victor Cruz, Dez White,Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Stevie Johnson, Maurice Colston, Mike Wallace, Larry Fitzgerald, Percy Harvin in their last two games !!!!!!!!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ???? Sometimes Fantasy Football is really simple:

The Jaguars will be playing from behind.

They have to throw.

He is Gabbert's favorite receiver.

He does many long routes ...YARDAGE, POINTS !!!

The other name , high salaried receivers on Jacksonville get the defenses attention.

Once is a coincidence, twice is a trend , three times is a fact !!! He has FOUR games of over 15 fantasy points in PPR.

Kicking myself for not picking him up in either league. Considering spending the remainder of my FAAB$ on him. He'd just getting it done plain and simple. Kind of reminds me of the year I picked up Lloyd off the wire midweek despite a couple good games no one believed in him.

I already have one of these heart attacks each week - his name is Dwayne Bowe.

On Phenoms he is the #1 pickup right now. Coming off a 0 point game. I guess that says a lot about the free agent crop this week.

[duaneok66]

Did Dreesen suit up Sunday night?

 

[PatsFanCT]

Justin Forsett

I can see loads of garbage time carries coming against Buffalo, and if Tate is still hurt, Forsett could get a dozen carries against that sieve of a defense.

 

[omally]

Did Dreesen suit up Sunday night?

Yes, he blocked a lot Sunday night. Tamme and Virgil Green also got playing time at TE.

 

[hip80]

I'm liking Daniel Thomas (MIA), he has a TD in 3 out of 4 games he's played in, Bush has traditionally had durability issues, and the next three games up are @IND, TEN, @BUF.

 

[kenzen]

Considering Shorts has played five quarters as a starter with Gabbert at QB and has 16 targets for 10-177-1 in that time I'm surprised he's not at the top of this list. He's going to have some uneven games, but I think when all is said and done he'll be 2012's WW pickup of the year.

From Rotoworld today:"Cecil Shorts will remain the Jaguars' starting "X" receiver even though Laurent Robinson (concussions) is ready.Shorts is playing so well that the Jags can't afford to take him off the field. Over the last two weeks, the second-year man out of Mount Union has totaled 12 catches for 195 yards and a touchdown. Shorts is a legit playmaker on a team desperate for one and is a legit WR4 with upside in fantasy circles. Robinson or Justin Blackmon will get some reps in the slot now that Mike Thomas has been shipped out of town."Remember....In the last 2 weeks Shorts has outscored in Wes Welker, Reggie Wayne, Victor Cruz, Dez White,Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Stevie Johnson, Maurice Colston, Mike Wallace, Larry Fitzgerald, Percy Harvin in their last two games !!!!!!!!

Scored something like 23 standard FF points in the last matchup in KC.

[BobbyLayne]

I picked up the Chargers for the 49ers bye week. All the San Diego homers told me not to do it.

Loving Cecil Shorts as my fill-in while Jordy is out. 11 targets last game. He was productive when he was only getting 25-30% of the snap counts, and that production took a big leap when he became a starter two weeks ago. I know the Lions are not nearly as soft against the pass as previous years, but you have to feel good about this week's home matchup.

Rotoworld is on board:

Team Defense/Special Teams - Chargers

The best-case scenario would have been facing a wholly ineffective Brady Quinn, but he couldn’t gain clearance from his concussion on a short week. The fallback plan is Matt Cassel, author of 16 turnovers in five starts this season. Either way, the Chargers defense is gold this week.

Recommendation: Worth a look as a matchup play.

[Bracie Smathers]

LaFell if someone cut bait, he's catching back on.

Ceil Shorts, he's getting enough looks to be relevant.

James Starks, Green is running backwards.

Vereen is still worth the stash.

I didn't like Green in the preseason, he never looked like anything special and he has gotten more than a fair shot to prove himself and this is what he's done with his chance:

HOU 22 carries for 65 yards

STL 20 carries for 35 yards

JAC 22 carries for 54 yards

64 carries in the last three games and for only 154 yards with zero TDs?

You gotta be kidding me. Not even Adrian Peterson has that many carries over the past three games (AdP 55 carries for 355 yards and 2 TDs)

With Ced Benson out its gotta be Starks who has a 4.2 average per carry with the Pack which is nearly two yards (2.4 ypc) over and above Alex Green.

Their is no way Alex Green should be getting THAT MANY carries considering he sucks. I mean he sucks warm dog crap thru a straw.

But starks has 5 carries over the last 3 games. 4, 0 and 1. He's either more hurt than they're letting on or they just don't like him one bit and will ride with green because he can pass block until Benson comes back.

Do your research. CECIL SHORTS has been killing it and outscoring most of the top 15 WR picks..(PPR scoring, normal yards and TD, etc) He's been a monster in all my leagues the last 2 weeks. That extra 17 to 19 points makes the difference on the flex or WR2 or WR3.

I don't make the facts, just report them.

I bet you said that about Victor Cruz last year too, didn't you?

The problem with this comment is that we have 7 weeks of data on Shorts, and Cruz pretty much blew up from the start--it did not take Cruz 5 weeks. Through these 7 weeks he has been ok with his better play coming in the last 2 weeks. A lot of his targets (not production) came from the backup and not gabbert against oakland, so I don't know how much value can be put in his week 7 targets. Ulitmately, what we have is more of a smart investment as opposed to a "sure thing" imo. Shorts' last 4 week targets have been 5, 3, 10 (most with henne?) and 12. That 5, and 3 stuff will not cut it. Assuming he keeps getting the targets, then all systems go.

Remember:

The Jags have been playing from behind.

They must throw.

He's Gabbert's favorite receiver.

He run's long routes (yardage/fantasy points)...sets up the defender, then cuts it short (PPR), sets them up again and gets the bomb....

The secret's been out for about a week, he's probably gone in most leagues.

DON'T LOSE YOUR SHORTS, PLAY CECIL SHORTS !!!!

2 weeks does not a season make.

I bet you said that about Victor Cruz last year too, didn't you?

The problem with this comment is that we have 7 weeks of data on Shorts, and Cruz pretty much blew up from the start--it did not take Cruz 5 weeks. Through these 7 weeks he has been ok with his better play coming in the last 2 weeks. A lot of his targets (not production) came from the backup and not gabbert against oakland, so I don't know how much value can be put in his week 7 targets. Ulitmately, what we have is more of a smart investment as opposed to a "sure thing" imo. Shorts' last 4 week targets have been 5, 3, 10 (most with henne?) and 12. That 5, and 3 stuff will not cut it. Assuming he keeps getting the targets, then all systems go.

Hmm... I'm not sure about targets but most of his production came while Gabbert was under center in Week 7. When Gabbert got hurt the whole offense stalled out. Henne was throwing mostly check downs (according to gameday). Also, he wasn't a starter till Robinson got hurt. In my opinion that makes it a whole different ballgame now.

Yeah, Shorts did get his production while Gabbert was in, but Shorts' value increases as his targets increase. Else, he is just a better version of Gordon (low targets but high production). I do think the previous injury to Robinson makes Shorts' situation different so we don't really know what to expect, but so far that has meant targets (but as I mentioned week 7 is a bit scewed due to Gabbert being hurt).

In conclusion, (am I writing a thesis? haha) if Shorts' targets have increased like the last 2 weeks suggest, then he will be more than valuable.

So in the two weeks has wasn't starting he saw five and three targets. And in the two weeks he was starting he saw ten and twelve?Is he starting or not starting tomorrow?

I hate to point the obvious but please read in more detail. The 10 can be an outlier as most of that was with Henne--so it is more like12, 5, 3....unless you like to will nilly translate Henne's targets to Gabbert...My whole point is that it is a smart investment, but that there is still risk and not a "lock" due to the uncertainty in sample size--but hell, this is better than anything else out there right now.

Redman is a decent bye week pickup for Week 9. With Dwyer and Mendenhall both doubtful, Redman will be starting.

The target numbers (5,3) from weeks 4 and 5 should and do not count when assessing Shorts' current value. If however, you would like them to count, you should analyze snap to target ratios (some people use target to snap instead), since he hasn't had any real playing time aside from weeks 7 and 8.Week 1 - 14 snaps (18%) - 7 targets - 2:1Week 2 - 10 snaps (23%) - 2 targets - 5:1Week 3 - 20 snaps (33%) - 3 targets - 6.6:1Week 4 - 27 snaps (47%) - 5 targets - 5.4:1Week 5 - 15 snaps (26%) - 3 targets - 5:1Week 7 - 61 snaps (97%) - 10 targets - 6.1:1Week 8 - 74 snaps (96%) - 12 targets - 6.1:1So aside from week one, he averages around one target for every 5-6 offensive snaps, consistently. As long as you believe he'll continue to see 90+ percent of playing time, he should continue to see a high volume of targets. The real question is whether or not he'll continue to be able to convert those targets if and when defenses start paying him extra attention.

Aldrick Robinson, starting today and looked pretty good with RG3 before he got hurt.

you cannot extrapolate the numbers proportionately like that, but I see what you were trying to do. As I suggested, people were investing on uncertainty, which is okay, but it was far from a "lock." I figure he will do much better v the colts in week 10.Althouugh Shorts started, the fact that Robinson was even playing threw another wrench into the uncertainty that is Shorts.
