Week 9 WW Pickups (1 Viewer)

[NREC34]

My thoughts on the giant backfield is that I would not want to have to rely on it to win any fantasy games. Bye week fill in only.

 

[zftcg]

Any thoughts on Josh McCown? Need a bye-week fill-in for Stafford and it's between him, Geno or Keenum. GB isn't such a bad matchup. I also feel like backup QBs with stud WRs usually find a way to get them the ball (eg, Glennon/VJax).

Josh McCown.

That is a good offensive system, he's going to Marshall, Jeffery, Forte and Bennett.

After that, Glennon. All kinds of garbage time coming his way.

Deep desperation bomb: Jason Campbell.

Glennon is @SEA. I'm not sure I'd take him in a league that awarded bonus points for "QB still alive at end of game".

 

[zamboni]

Andre Brown

I am jumping on this bandwagon. The Giants are starting to show signs of life. If Wilson stays out of the picture, then I believe Brown has to be the most talented back in the rotation....hopefully, the G-Men won't keep feeding the ball to Hillis, and Jacobs just goes away. Any thoughts on the Giant backfield moving forward?

Hard to say, although I think Hillis will at least remain a part of the rotation since he's been workmanlike over the past two games - and more importantly, team wins. I imagine Cox sees much less time (and could be inactive), and who knows about Jacobs depending on his health. While Hillis and Jacobs are one-dimensional, Coughlin appreciates their hard nosed style. Brown has the most talent, but he's also rusty.

So it's clear as mud - may take a week or two after the bye to sort things out.

 

[Cleat Spike]

Kenny Stills

Marvin Jones

Can either post consistent ff numbers or were these just one week wonders?

Jones has 3 consistent weeks in PPR his past 3 games? 19.5, 15, 44 (also has a 12.8 sprinkled in earlier in the year). In that span he's 15/250/6 good for WR3 only behind Calvin and VJax......ahead of AJ Green. Sure this game is an anomaly, but C'mon everyone's a one week wonder at some point.

CJ Anderson - looked the part, quick/powerful (preemptive)

Karim - you never know but deep

Fozzy - being used a little

Burleson -regain WR2 in a week? Consistent as they come before the injury and now an even clearer picture of his opportunity

Dexter McCluster

Mike Brown - starting to become a trend if you didn't believe that one at first

David Nelson - 2 descent weeks, but you know.

Drew Davis - Roddy may limp back?

Justin Hunter - preemptive

Patterson- preemptive

Rishard Matthews

Any of the speculative trade partner RBs - LeShoure, Ryan Williams, Starks, Ingram, heck Hillman?

 

[fCheeze]

Jake Locker if you need a bye fill-in. Quietly has put up QB1 numbers in his last 3 starts, and has a manageable schedule.

Locker is a great pick up if you're a Brady owner.

Locker has an incredible playoff schedule weeks 14-16 with @DEN, AZ, and @JAX. He was my first WW Target last week.

If he remains healthy, he could easily post Strong QB1-Elite QB numbers against DEN and JAX

Great post. Nice list of names.

A couple more:

Montee Ball (RZ carries)

Shonne Greene (GL carries w/ Tenn's easy schedule)

LaVon Brazill (IND - preemptive)

Doug Martin if he got released and you want to gamble on him coming back and being productive.

 

[TartanLion]

For anyone needing a TE fill in next week like me, Fleener can be grabbed before waivers as he was on a bye this week. Might get a bump due to Wayne injury.

 

[Leonidas]

These guys are basically all owned in my league (as they should be), with the exception of Burleson. (good reminder on him)

Anybody else?

 

[TeeDub]

Tim wright?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Tim wright?

I think the thing to do is figure out who the next big WW grab for week 10 is going to be, and I'm guessing it will be Tim Wright or Mike Brown at this rate.

Hey as a happy Seahawks owner, I agree. - But if people are looking for some kind of gameplan because of injuries to Cutler, Vick, etc., Glennon is putting up decent stat lines. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with a negatuive FF point total vs Seattle, but then if they go up 38-3 and he proceeds to get a couple garbage TDs I wouldn't be surprised either. In any event I'm really thinking about after Seattle, could be part of a QBBC who knows. I mean we're talking QBs on the WW at this time of the season, chancy stuff to begin with.

ETA: The Schianius is now speaking of cutting back on Glennon's attempts.

 

[munygon2]

Texans signed RB Ray Graham and LB Jeff Tarpinian.
Graham is the third running back the Texans have signed in the past 24 hours, joining veteran Deji Karim and fellow rookie Dennis Johnson. It's a clear indication that Ben Tate (ribs) is in danger of missing Week 9, and that Arian Foster (hamstring) isn't guaranteed to go. Tarpinian will contribute on special teams.

[skillz]

Jake Locker if you need a bye fill-in. Quietly has put up QB1 numbers in his last 3 starts, and has a manageable schedule.

Great call.

And he's available right now in a lot of leagues since TEN is on bye this week. No need to wait for waivers.

Wow, thanks for pointing out the waivers piece. With Schaub being benched, I needed a new backup for this week and was already able to grab Locker just now without having to wait for a waiver claim.

 

[nb009]

LaVon Brazill (IND - preemptive)

This is the guy I'm keeping a close eye on. For some reason, he strikes me as someone who can just blow up if given an opportunity.

Is Brown eligible to play week ten or AFTER week ten?

Week 10.

[SaintsInDome2006]

Any new developments based on last night's game?

Is Stacy ok, or will Richardson be getting a start???

 

[TeeDub]

How do you guys feel about garret graham as a bye week filler for week 9? With a somewhat banged up running game they might rely on the pass more and he does get targets from Keenum

 

[Cleat Spike]

Need a Julius Thomas bye week TE filler. I'm putting in for Fleener, then Graham I think. I'm actually feeling ok on him if I miss on Fleener.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

He was looking good before the QB turmoil. I'm not sure Keenum will target him any more than he did vs KC, in fact they may leave in an io-lineman or ask GG to block more.

I'd say trade for Fleener or reach for Wright first.

Wouldn't Karim be the expected starter in that scenario (Foster & Tate out?)?

sounds minor IMO, he was on the field in motion running on the last play.

I think they'll be far more committed to the run after the bye, whether that means anything,who knows.but there IS value in the Giants backfield..Brown should take over the lead role, he's the most talented RB they have...Jacobs is toast..Hillis has done well.

his numbers show you that the Giants running game is getting better and why it's time to grab Brown - while he's on a bye, somewhat under the radar.

 

[Breesisdaman]

Adam Vinatieri if he was cut for bye week

 

[nobiz]

Nick Foles if he got dropped, Marvin jones, Terrance Williams and Harry Douglas if they are still available.

Harry Douglass? In what, a 6-team league?

Based on what I read today, possibly. Also saw a mention of Johnson getting carries. I guess it might be a situation to avoid for now.

looking at these options at QB with Peyton on bye and Vick hurt/sucking:

Jake Locker

Josh McCown

Nick Foles

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

looking at these options at QB with Peyton on bye and Vick hurt/sucking:

Jake Locker

Josh McCown

Nick Foles

The Replacements:

• Foles
• McCown
• Campbell
• Keenum

Locker should be very well owned, I can't believe I let him get snyped, but if he's out there with his schedule and momentum I'd say he would be first in order.

Campbell has BAL & then a bye, so I'd say no there but he could have value later throwing to Cameron and Gordon.

Foles and McCown both seem like legit cheap pickups right now. Keenum I have no feel for, but again he will have Foster, AJ, G Graham, Hopkins.

 

[Bobcat10]

Are you guys using #1 or #2 waiver on Marvin Jones? Tough call...especially if your league has players like Stills, KWright, LMoore, etc available that you could grab after waivers are run.

 

[HurryUpSundays]

Are you guys using #1 or #2 waiver on Marvin Jones? Tough call...especially if your league has players like Stills, KWright, LMoore, etc available that you could grab after waivers are run.

Wright and Stills won't be there afterwards in any 12 or 14 leaguers.

I'm deciding between Wright, Stills and Jones as we speak. I've got 3rd priority and all of those guys are on my target.

 

[Lionz will turn it around!]

Jake Locker if you need a bye fill-in. Quietly has put up QB1 numbers in his last 3 starts, and has a manageable schedule.

Locker is a great pick up if you're a Brady owner.

Locker has an incredible playoff schedule weeks 14-16 with @DEN, AZ, and @JAX. He was my first WW Target last week.

If he remains healthy, he could easily post Strong QB1-Elite QB numbers against DEN and JAX

I like his schedule for the ROS not only 14-16...it's pretty juicy IMO.

Had initially chosen McCown over Keenum (don't trust Campbell/Foles as far as I can throw them ... or as far as they can throw a football). Then someone dropped Locker and I nabbed him. He's only a one-week fill-in for Stafford, so I don't really care about his schedule ROS. The one thing that worries me, as was pointed out in another thread, is that he's on the road this week, and tends to play much better at home. But I still think he's a safer pick than McCown.

 

[Whizzinator]

Torn between Pryor and Locker for this week, and with an eye towards backing up Kaepernick going forward (who has been erratic). Could imagine a matchup play somewhere down the road for one of them.

 

[IheartGuinness]

Think I might try for Graham at TE this week, hoping Thomas is ok after the Bye. Grabbed Locker last week. Seems to be progressing pretty well. Actually thinking about starting him over Matt Ryan.

 

[just_want_2_win]

What about David Nelson (WR, NYJ) and Drew Davis (WR, ATL)?

 

[Twenty-Four Eighty-Four]

What about David Nelson (WR, BUF) and Drew Davis (WR, ATL)?

Nelson plays for the Jets and had 2 decent weeks.

Yes used to be Bills my bad.

 

[fCheeze]

'Nasty' Nate Burleson

Michael Crabtree

Trying to decide between these 2 and Brazil.. Looking for upside. Am i crazy to think Brazil is the guy? Burleson looks like a high floor WR 3 with upside. Crabtree looks too far off.... however I've held Andre brown now for 6 weeks..

Kaepernick was dropped in my league and Locker is on wires... drop Pryor for either? RG3 starting so need to have some confidence in backup.

Matthews

Miller

Helu

[Cheesedawg]

I like Hobson's trending snap count and targeting numbers.

Very deep league with 21-man rosters and 12 teams with 12 starters (3 keepers). I own Stacy so my top three waiver claims were Richardson, Hobson, and the Colts. My waiver priority is too high...I'd rather be higher in the standings and not having to fish for these guys. DWilson, Julio, Vereen, Gronk, LMiller, Bowe...my roster-building didn't go too well this season.

Drew Davis, Vinitieri, Baldwin, Pierce, McCluster were other early acquisitions this week.

 

[smapdi]

Tim wright?

I'm going to 2nd that. I've got Cameron going now but he's on bye week 10. Wright seems like he is in shape to be a really hot commodity next week WW wise. He's listed as a WR/TE in yahoo leagues which offers great flexibility.

Glennon seems to like him and we all know rookie QBs usually love their TE. Mike Williams is also out for the year so that leaves a lot of targets up for grabs. You know defenses will be locked onto VJax so Wright should be open.

I'm going to drop Finley for him. There's been no news on him but I highly doubt he comes back anytime soon after brushing his spinal cord and nearly getting paralyzed a couple weeks ago.

If you are looking for a tie-breaker, Locker has a much better fantasy play-off schedule.

 

[TartanLion]

What do people think of Dallas Clark TE at the Ravens ? Scored a TD in each of his last two games...

Andre Brown.

per Roto:

Giants running backs coach Jerald Ingram said Tuesday that he believes Brown (leg) will be activated and ready to go for the team's Week 10 game against Oakland, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.
Though Brown had suggested he'll be ready go Nov. 10, this is the first real indication from the team that he will be activated in time to face the Raiders. Brown recently said that he feels "great," and while he'll likely be eased into the backfield mix, there will be immediate flex appeal with Brown following the team's Week 9 bye, given his proficiency at the goal line.
