Who are some "league-winning" Playoff Stashes from WW. - Upside (1 Viewer)

[Gottabesweet]

We all remember guys like Drew Bennett, Billy Volek, and Trung Canidiate, Peyton Hills etc.

Who are some guys you are stashing on the last spot of your roster that you don't need but could eventually use Week 14-16 if the situation arises?

I'm in a short bench league and there's plenty of talent on the WW but often it's tough to decide on who.

It may just be a injury situation or increased playing time as that NFL's team sinks etc or luck.

12 team league with only 12 roster spots.....

Derrick Henry,  Drake, Crowder, Corey Coleman.

 

[Gally]

Jay Peterman's brother Nathan.........the next Billy Volek........hahahahahahah

 

[packer_junkie]

Im running out of room in my league: 

My bench is currently:

Burkhead

Drake

Perine

Al Morris

C Davis

Doctson

Coleman

I like to think all these guys could be league winners if they hit but who the hell knows? Ill probably end up losing cause I held on to them while the likes of Ekeler, J williams, and Inman got picked up for scraps

 

[Interseptopus]

James Connor

Perine maybe

 

[Gottabesweet]

James Connor

Like these as well.

 

[Ack88]

Dede Westbrook.

 

[Gally]

Rex Burkhead

Aaron Rodgers was dropped, I could stash him but do we realistically think he'll play Week 15? 

Been looking at Crowder, Corey Coleman, Bridgewater as well.

Hard to decide on a roster stash.

I think he will play if the Pack is in the playoff picture, I think if they are eliminated, no real reason to play, make sure he’s fully healed and ready for next year. 

 

[Chaka]

Josh Gordon

 

[NeverEnough]

Mike Davis maybe

Seems right.  I think if this was the AFC then yes he'd be playing Week 15.  However they are what 5-4 and the NFC wildcard is tough.   Looks like this game is a must win at home vs. Baltimore for this situation.

@ car and mn.  Horrible matchups for a guy coming back from injury.  No thanks

Yeah - I only have Alex Smith/ Phillip Rivers so was looking.

Who knows.  I want to find this years Peyton Hillis for Weeks 14-16!!!! lol

I have rivers and keenum so I know how you feel but Rodgers isn't going to help and I'm not holding him for a month for those matchups.  Hell someone already picked him up in one league I'm in

[mr roboto]

Corey Coleman

Alex Collins

 

[steelwind]

Some Corey Davis owners will no doubt drop him after last night.  He is a stash with that nice schedule coming up.

 

[Weebs210]

I like 

Perine

Dede Westbrook (have you seen that schedule?!?!)

Collins

Now if only I could click submit and drop Jordy for Dede....

 

[TartanLion]

Ekeler. 

Could see Chargers season being done, Gordon being worn down and thus Ekeler being given good volume in the last 3-4 odd weeks 

 

[msudaisy26]

Hillis was a stud after week 2 or 3 in 2010, he was a waiver wire wonder, but not a stash

 

[Ilov80s]

Inman

 

[Ilov80s]

Also in certain leagues, Mitch Money. He's got the Konami code and the Bears seem to be letting him throw more. 

 

[TheDirtyWord]

JD McKissic

 

[The Dude]

Don't like Perine's chances.  Chris Thompson is going to get his share and even more now maybe

 

[The Dude]

Ivory - Fournette no pratice

 

[Weebs210]

I have my doubts he stays healthy.

 

[icehouse]

Flacco, with the Browns and Indy?  Am I crazy? 

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Rod Smith, David Johnson, Josh Gordon, Ezekiel Elliot. My bench isn’t really a bench so much as a playoff championship game lottery ticket. Luckily I’ve aready locked up a playoff slot (thanks Alex Smith and zeke.)

eta. Missed the “from the waiver wire” part. Gordon and Johnson were both waiver wire adds the last two weeks in a 12 teamer. 

 

[seahawk 17]

I added Westbrook, Josh Gordon, and David Johnson. My league mates are so impatient.

Those work.

I'm looking at Derrick Henry vs. Drake.

 

[JIMGET]

Plus he is not good.

 

[JIMGET]

JD McKissic

Indeed...maybe, but I am done with this backfield, or should I say minefield?

 

[steelwind]

Marquise Goodwin.  He's the defacto #1 and might be getting a QB upgrade.  Weeks 14, 15 @Hou, vs Ten.  Obviously avoiding week 16 vs Jax.

 

[Milkman]

Guys I like

Inman

Goodwin

Perine 

Shepard

I don't understand the Dede Westbrook love. #3 WR maybe on a team with a bad QB that likes to pound the rock. He's never going to get the targets he needs to be startable........

You mean number 2 right?

 

[Milkman]

So it's a given he's jumping ahead of Keelan Cole iyo? Sorry I don't think he is. There's no targets for Dede and you'll never start him without an injury imo. 

 

[Men-in-Cleats]

Picked up David Johnson.  Could use someone to breakout in another of my leagues but need to get past this week's bye week hell first.

Eyeball test in the preseason passed with flying colors for me.  Looked legit.

If healthy this is a reasonable bet with a bench spot.

So even if you're right and that's certainly not a given, the #2 WR on a run first team with a bad QB is going to be your league winning stash? 

I guess I'm missing something......

These are stashes with upside.  If you are here to stake your claim that a waiver wire player isn't going to win a league for someone... congrats?

That horrible QB (he is) has produced strong WR fantasy production in the past, and is throwing a bit more lately.  4 games in a row over 240 yards (improvement over first half of season).  If he is what he appeared he might be in the preseason, these aren't world beater WRs he has to beat out for targets.

It isn't about being "right", he is a stash that imo has the potential to make a difference.

 

[Milkman]

Jac is 26th in the league in pass attempts.......the #2 WR on that team right now is Allen Hurns with 51 targets in 9 games......I'd be shocked if Dede Westbrook had more than 4 targets a game after the activate him and that saying he's going to pass Cole and Hurns on the depth chart right away.

Where do they rank the last 4 games?

I'm just saying I don't see it and giving my reasons why. You want to stash him and think he's a good stash great.

I think the love is mostly for dynasty leagues, but you're likely looking at their #1 WR depending on how fast he can get acclimated.

Westbrook is without a doubt their most talented WR as soon as he steps on the field. I like the upside.

[Milkman]

They rank 4th but he has a 51 passing attempt game last week propping that up......if you take the 4 games before that game he's at 30 a game which would put bortles 30th in the league in passing attempts.....

Remember, Westbrook had already beaten out Hurns (including Cole) in preseason for the slot job when he got hurt.

Not sure how they'll do it this week without Hurns (who's injured), but Westbrook can also play outside.

 

[Milkman]

Well maybe he splashes on the scene. Would help the running game if they could force teams to play them straight up more......

Yes, if you pull out his highest attempt game (his most recent), and replace it with a 14 attempt game.. it doesnt look as good.

Ill bet on 51 before that 14 happening again.
