Which risky WR pickup is worth making? (1 Viewer)

[solorca]

There are a number of risky WR options that are probably available in many leagues that could payoff if things break correctly. Now that there are so many injuries piling up, it seems likely that at least one of them could be a solid pickup (or they could all be useless, who knows).

The top three I would think, are...

1. Terrell Owens - No one came to view his workout, but that doesn't mean that they won't invite him in to tryout. I think he's the biggest risk/reward guy available, and could be huge for the playoff run if he catches on somewhere.

2. Randy Moss - He's been available all season and hasn't gotten a call, but I could see a deseperate team like the Redskins take a chance on him.

3. Mark Clayton - Prior to the Brandon Lloyd pickup, he was someone I was targeting. Now that Lloyd is in St. Louis, I'm not sure he is worth a spot...but considering how well he played last season before the injury, he could be a surprise.

Those are the three that I would consider, and I will probably pick up one of them if I decide to drop Santana Moss this week. Any other high risk/high reward players that you guys think could make an impact?

what is the latest on Mark Clayton?

I would rather gamble on someone like E.Sanders, J.Baldwin, R. Cobb, J. Kerley, V. Brown. 3rd or 4th stringers on decent passing attacts. It is hard for me to see Owens or Moss ever catching a pass again. And Clayton he is just going to sit on your bench and have to worry if he is healthy every week.

The list of WR's who have had productive years after the age of 37:

Jerry Rice.

If you want a speculative add, go for Donnie Avery instead. He's already on a team (Titans), has had a couple weeks to get acclimated, has a past pedigree of 2nd rounder and #1 WR on his team, is fast, just 27, the QB is a vet, the other WRs are no great shakes.

No promises, but if you're looking deep he's a lot better option than Owens and Moss.

The Arena League's Chicago Rush have offered free agent Terrell Owens a contract.

At least someone wants him. "We feel that this is an ideal time to approach the future NFL Hall of Famer," Rush GM Gene Nudo said. "It would be a fantastic honor to add Terrell to our current roster for the 2012 season." Owens' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, acknowledged on the radio Wednesday that his client has generated no phone calls from NFL clubs after Tuesday's public workout.

T.O. if you play in the Arena FF League
