Who are you cutting for Ogletree? (1 Viewer)

[solorca]

Not poo-poo'ing on the idea that he could be a very viable if not great pickup. But I haven't even seen my drafted players on my teams take a snap yet. Plus, there's 15 other games to digest. If he's the guy, I'll just spend more next week in FAAB. I'd also like to see him at least see the targets (if not produce) again next week.

A lot of leagues have waivers that run after the Wednesday/Thursday game, so if you want him, you have to make the decision now.

The leagues I'm in lock players whose games already started/were played. We can pick up other players, but no Giants or Cowboys

I have the #1 waiver priority and went to website to see when they would run and how to put in the claim. I was surprised to see I could make the move on the spot. I dropped another player that most likely won't have as good a game as that. The last position player on my bench. And I still have the #1 waiver priority.FTR, I don't agree at all with the way our league is set up, but I'll use it to my advantage.

I decided to put in a claim and drop Cobb for him. Cobb was the last guy on my bench, and my plan will be to flip Ogletree as quickly as possible to upgrade my WR5 spot that Cobb was occupying. I'll target a mid-level WR who underperforms in week one.

Cobb's a better talent looking at a similar role in a better offense, unless Sunday drastically changes my opinion on him I won't be dumping him for Ogletree.

McCluster? Could happen. Doubtful I'd ever start him though.

 

[tombonneau]

I'll likely put in a bid with intent of dropping Jerome Simpson.

Really has more to do with who I trade Ogletree for than Cobb. My league has a few players who chase scores, and I'll be able to acquire a nice mid-level player who underperforms in week one for Ogletree. He won't be on my team beyond Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

 

[acme]

Frisman Jackson.

...of is that just just a motivational ploy?

 

[barista]

Dropped Tamme for him. Will try to trade him next week for someone coming off of a bad game.

 

[elbowrm]

Emmanuel Sanders

 

[dcarrbaby]

No one, he will not have another week like this again and I'm not cutting someone of value for a pickup of the week.

NYG were dreadful last night. Ogletree benefitted from it.

If you can get him as a FA, and don't have to blow your blind bid money or burn an important top ww spot, you're crazy not to add him and drop your worst player.He had 8 catches on 11, yes 11 targets, and two TDs. This wasn't 3 catches on 4 targets and two fluke long TDs.You win leagues by adding players that break out and by working the waiver wire, not by sitting on your last few draft picks that you're so happy with. With Dez and Austin's injury problems anyone is crazy not giving Ogletree a chance. Even if he blows from here on out and you drop him after week 4.

What's up with all the smart### answers? The guy asks a legit question that actually COULD be a good strategy discussion and 1/4th of the responses are garbage. Is there any hope for these forums?

New to the internet, are you?

I've seen a lot of boards where players are VERY passionate about their players. I've seen a lot of boards where people are quite biased. I've seen a lot of boards where people have agendas, little information, and so on.But I've never been on a board where SO MANY people post solely for the point of being sarcastic or crude and juvenile.

There is Definitely more of that on these boards then on any other forums that I have ever seen. It ruins an otherwise informative board. I guess the best thing is to just ignore it as best you can. Although I do catch myself laughing at some of it on occasion.

Was in a tough situation in one of my leagues:Would've had to drop Ryan Williams, Leshoure, Benson, Greg Little or Randall Cobb to pick him up.Cobb is the only one I seriously considered, but I ended up deciding not to do it. Ogeltree was matched up against the #4 and 5 corner for most of the night.

I have a similar situation. My drop choices are Lafell, Tampa Mike, Leshoure, and David Wilson. I strongly considered putting in a modest bid on him, and letting Tampa Mike walk. However, I could see Mike Williams having a much better year now that Vjax is there, so I am going to wait

That is correct. My Dynasty runs them tonight, and my keeper tomorrow

 

[Kai's Hero]

Ryan Williams. I have plenty of depth at RB though and needed another backup WR with upside.

wow

That is normally the case in the leagues I play in, but when I talked the Commish in both cases, they said that they could do nothing about it. Waivers were not waiting until next week on Boys or Giants

Foolish.

 

[L_O_D]

At the risk of highjacking, though along the same lines of the original question posed...have we considered that maybe WR3 in the Dalls offense (w/ all the attention that Austin/Dez/Jason command) is the real value here? Thinking beyond one game here...

Laurent Robinson 2.0? All apologies to Laurent/Ogletree and his/their owners,but those guys are not as talented as their numbers would suggest. Romo + WR3 = fantasy gold?

Just a thought.

 

[SameSongNDance]

My thoughts exactly. If you want to cut a WR4/5 for him, I think that's a great idea. Anyone dropping talented RBs with a chance to contribute down the road, especially with the position being so thin is IMO, crazy.

I dunno.Watch Ogletree go flat next week or two, his flavor of the week status disappear, he gets dropped.... and then he winds up valuable again when Austin or Bryant get hurt.It's a long season, you mostly want him valuable at the end of the year.

I sort of agree, but there are a lot of league settings and roster situations where a WR3/4 is much more valuable than a RB4 lottery ticket that needs an injury to present legitimate fantasy value. Ryan Williams is on the waiver wire in a couple of my leagues.

I can see your reasoning here. In a PPR league where you are forced to play 3 WR week in and week out I suppose this is true. But to be honest, I think Ogletree is going to need an injury to occur to have any legitimate value down the road. I think most would agree the RB position is more volatile than the WR position. I'll take the lottery ticket with better odds of hitting.

 

[notdarkyet]

Randall Cobb.

Ditto.

 

[gbill2004]

Tatum Bell.

 

[bulger2holt]

My only spare player is Malcolm Floyd and that ain't happening.

 

[Shawn]

wow I find myself wanting him but cant afford to drop anyone

 

[HairySasquatch]

Randy Moss, most likely.

I don't think I would do that...maybe I'm living in the past, but I need to see if he is going to be a stud or a dud before I drop him. Yeah, Ogletree will be long gone by the time I learn what I'm going to get from Moss this year....but another "Ogletree" will emerge soon enough.

 

[bizkliz]

he will not have another week like this again and I'm not cutting someone of value for a pickup of the week.

In the last half-decade my opinion about "flavor of the week" players in general has been snobbish.However, I am also the owner who has never rostered...Miles Austin Brandon LloydVictor CruzLaurent Robinsonto name a few WR, in their "breakout" years.Methinks Ogletree might be a good one. The aforementioned comment about Dez (trouble seems to find him) & Austin (injuries) rings true. Its worth losing the services of Steve Breaston for the upside of Ogletree.-biz-

 

[Donnybrook]

In deep leagues, it not a big deal to add him to your roster. I am actually more interested in who people plan on benching for Ogletree. Dallas travels to Seattle next week. Ogletree will probably be matched up against Marcus Trufant.

 

[benjaminbarker]

miles gonna hamstring and dez gonna suspension

OGLETRON gonna score

I drafted late and waivers wouldn't let me drop the Giants.Didn't want to play them this week an so I'll use another Def.

Now seeing all the injuries and bad play I'll drop them next wk.

(waivers cleared at 3am on thursday and can't drop them now)

Cincinnati was/is an week to week Def as my other isn't stout

but Def in that league gets quite a bit of points, but Yah I'd drop

them for a shot at Ogletree there.

Generally I do not keep 2 defenses, unless I did not get a decent

one and I'm playing week to week matchups an not much out there.

(some leagues guy's snatch up D's, so you gotta play along here)

That pretty well covers it..

(pretty much an extra roster spot to play with in all leagues)
