You are just begging for headaches if you are dipping your toe into Shannys running back situation. My advice is stay the eff away. It may look like Helu is the better runner but I promise you Shanny sees something different.
Then good luck dude.
The hate isn't for Helu.
Hill, jeffrey, jones, ogletree, kerley is how i view them right now. Ill get blasted on ogletree probly but idc. I always go for upside and yep sometimes i get donuts lol
+1I really want to add Wilson to handcuff Bradshaw.
Im bad at a lot of things, including reading
-If you hate yourself I see DWill being dropped this week.-A couple leagues im in Hankerson was dropped before sunday.-Russell Wilson seems to be a popular drop this week, if you bought into any of that crazy seahawks hype
Nobody exaggerates Shanahan as a complete nightmare for fantasy RBs unless it is on a 2 game basis
Exactly. First few posts were going along, and then this derailed in a "who is your WW target" thread.As far as who Im targetting that someone drops, its no one. I'll play it by ear, see who gets dropped, and see how they would fit with that team. My leagues are deep enough that I dont see anyone substantial being dropped, but maybe someone goes overboard and picks up a handful of players. I have mid-low waiver priority in all my leagues, so unless a miracle occurs where Hill or Ogletree fall to me, I will not use my "priority" and hope to land someone that is dropped.
Great move.I often use this strategy in Week 1, which I have dubbed the "Freewill Manouever" (as in the Rush song -- "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"). Right now I am dead last in waiver priority, having been lucky enough to blow out my opponent in Week 1 a la the Jets/Bills game. People tend to overreact, and I've nabbed plenty of high value knee-jerk drops as owners panic thanks to injuries or underperforming studs.Funnily enough, a guy in my league took Hawkins and dropped Doug Baldwin.The latter was on my team shortly thereafter..
I would pick up the girl in your avatar. That said, I agree about Helu.
It's not just the perception that Shanny plays games with the rotation. It's also the fact that his RBs always get hurt. If the longstanding injury trends continue, Helu will see the field at some point, even though injuries are overall impossible to predict. For many people, whether to pick him up will depend on roster space and the ability to wait until Helu gets his chance to shine.
That doesn't really make sense. I can't understand any reason as to why being a RB in a Shanny offense would be anything more than a 'madden curse' type of thing. Something that's actually complete bs and has no real backing what so ever. His backs have gotten hurt in the past few years sure, but in reality? It's only been Hightower, Helu and Torain. Royster hasn't been hurt yet to my knowledge. Having 3 players on your team that have injury issues is rather normal, little less normal when they are all at the same positions. Still though, look at Detroit, they have the same issue. So does the Giants with their defensive backs. I would never bank on any rookie with not large history of injuries in college to get hurt simply because he plays for a specific coach or in a specific system.
Baldwin looked piss poor. I'm going to be dropping him for Hill, Streator or Hawkins. Whichever I can get my hands on (in that order).
I like him. And although Rudolph is solid, Simpson may be the 2nd best option for Ponder after Harvin (AP, too of course).
Sub titles don't show up when I check the forum on my phone. this probably lead to some of the confusion.
Dropping a starting QB in a 2QB league? If you want to get rid of him, the better move would be to trade. Our start 2QB would rarely do this.
I agree that it may not necessarily be logical but I wouldn't call it complete BS either. I like to act off gut instinct in addition to analysis. My gut instinct tells me that the Shanny RB injury history in addition to Shanny unpredictability makes Helu an intriguing pickup if he is/becomes available. In other words, these 2 factors combined makes my gut instinct not willing to annoint Morris.
Jennings is a waste of a bench slot right now. Doubtful for sunday (hes gonna miss), and MJD is full steam. Mularkey said MJD wont be on a snapcount sunday, MJD owners win again.A few interesting waiver wire drops today in my 14 team leagueavid WilsonRyan WilliamsRashad JenningsRoy HeluMark IngramWe have six bench spots, so its not like these guys can't be afforded to have as a flier. To me, Ingram is probably the worst player of the bunch. But I still think the others are worth rostering as a solid flier.
Bradshaw's 26, he's not old at all. I do agree about picking up Wilson though if he's dropped.
FWIW, all of those RBs were dropped in my 12 team league (13 player rosters). I dropped Ingram in that league for Collie.'49er fan said:A few interesting waiver wire drops today in my 14 team league
