Weekly Waiver Wire Pick Ups - **CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK** Week 17 starts on Page 30 (1 Viewer)

That seems... enthusiastic.

I don't watch a lot of college ball. What's the book on Bateman?

Good route runner, stepped in first week healthy while being "eased in" tying team leader in targets. Ravens are throwing more then usual with their stable of old backs. Lots of upside.

 
I 100% see value in rostering Bateman. Sure, it is league dependent, as all things are (I wouldn't dream of rostering him in a 4 team no-bench league 😉), but there is real chance he carves out a role in this powerful offense. He's clearly talented, and if can carve a target hog role in this offense he can certainly be worth holding onto (especially in PPR, where his shorter routes are less of a detriment). I would think in most leagues there aren't many players with a higher upside AND a higher floor on the wire. Ceiling is Good Day Robert Woods, floor is Bad Day Robert Woods, whatever that means to you.

 
49ers are expected to activate JaMycal Hasty (ankle) for Week 7 against the Colts.

Hasty will form a committee with Elijah Mitchell and Trey Sermon, although it's at least possible that Sermon could be a healthy scratch, as he was when Michell and Hasty were healthy in Week 1. Hasty is unlikely to see a big workload in his return from injury, but the 49ers backfield is unpredictable. If Hasty were to have a meaningful role it would be surprising, but not shocking.

Interesting. I hadn't heard that. I had kind of assumed he would only have to miss a week or two. But now that I think of it I realize that may have been my own wishcasting.

Do you have any links discussing his timeline? If he's not going to be back before Kittle I probably won't waste my time on him.

If it was going to be very long they would put him on IR

Imo

That was also when Mostert was active. By Week 2, when Mostert was hurt, Mitchell, Sermon and Hasty were all active.

Who?
Click to expand...
Tyler Johnson, Bucs receiver, former collegiate teammate of Rashod Bateman. It was Johnson who starred for Minnesota while Bateman was getting his feet wet (actually excelling) there. Drafted in the fifth by Tampa, he made some great catches down the stretch last year in the playoffs. Surely you remember the back shoulder grab against New Orleans in the Divsional Game...if not, he drew the PI against GB on third or fourth down in the NFCCG.

He's a tactical route runner, not a burner. Never even tested at the combine, was surprisingly left off of certain post-senior activities because of possible attitude problems.

I roster him in dynasty and am a believer in his talent as a second or third WR for a needy club.

That's really good info but I can't buy into a football player until I know his Chinese calendar animal, and his bite strength.

His bite strength must be good, because he wound up in Arians' doghouse at the beginning of this year for reporting "out of shape," whatever that entailed. Too many burritos.

I have a pair of Chinese Zodiac Dr. Marten's with a cool gold foil emblem on them (I'm not of Asian descent). Is that enough? Year of the Fox or Lion or something. I was drunk when I bought them.

Right! Except for the 22% ownership in Yahoo right now would say you are completely wrong.

Not sure why people use yahoo as a guide.  Aren’t the majority of those leagues made up of casual free leagues where a lot of players quit paying attention to their teams less than half way through the season?

22% is extremely low. Even for Yahoo. Tell me what platform you would like and I bet it's closer to 22% then his 95% guess.

Should I pick up Collins and drop Julio? It’s a ten team full ppr league and I don’t need receivers (Adams, Ridley, Sanders, AB, Diontae) and need RB’s (have Carson, Mike Davis, Conner). I should absolutely right?

Sure, but you might also want to consider Penny at least for this game as Collins hasn't practiced all week IIRC.

People use yahoo percentages because no one else provides that information to my knowledge, but I don’t pay any attention to what yahoo says because the majority are free public leagues with casual players and that is being kind.  The majority of yahoo public leagues are a joke, thus the reason why I quit playing in them years ago.

Okay. You are missing the point. Tell me what platform you use so I can tell you his ownership percentage. It will not be near 90% even on the most "competitive" platform. Most competitive leagues you can still get him for free, especially with the amount of Harris truthers.

I use MFL for all my leagues.  Are.we talking about  Stevenson?  He’s owned in all 6 of the leagues I’m in, but they are all dynasty.

Rhamondre is available in all of my leagues including two 12 man. I should pick him up and drop Jamaal Williams (or Watson) in one and for Mooney in the other right? Redraft. 

 
Rhamondre and Penny were both available.  I took Penny, then I dropped him and acquired Rhamondre.  

I'm sure this means that Penny will go off. 

 
Devante Parker apparently has an "uphill battle" to play this week. Preston Williams (if he plays and Parker is out) seems like a decent dart throw for those looking for a bye week fill in.

Only 33% rostered on Sleeper and that's a step above casual. 

 
For those needing TE help…keep an eye on Tonyan.  Yes, you will still be relying on TD production…but once Bahktiari is back I think his opportunities will continue to rise when he doesn’t have to help out the OL as much

Isn't Mercedes Lewis the blocking TE?

Yes.  But on passing plays Tonyan has been in and needing to at least chip before trying to get out in routes with Jenkins and Bahktiari out.  Jenkins back has helped some.   Bahktiari back IMO will help Tonyan a lot.
