A bye than vs 2 tough passing defenses. I'd probably look elsewhere if you need a TE.

Ww pickups from week 11 (or pickups for week 12) (1 Viewer)

Tried. Just joined a league that’s been going for a bit so they resisted change. Still on my agenda though!

Well the season is only 2 more weeks and 1 of those is his bye. If you make a deep playoff run, I'm betting your starting TE is someone much better than him.
The KC pass D is the worst in the league, so I highly doubt they'll be dropping 50 on anyone again this year (Maybe the Eagles in week 15). In games played without Kupp, Everett is averaging under 3 targets a game. Hard pass.

I've decided I'm not going to waste a waiver claim. I only need a WR to start at my flex if Howard is out, and I currently have Godwin. Smith, Moore and Kirk are gone. Coutee is an upgrade over Godwin, but not such a big upgrade that it's worth wasting a claim on a one-week starter who probably won't see my lineup once Hill is back from bye.
If Coutee clears waivers, I'll grab him. And if I miss out on him and it looks like Howard is on track to play, then I'll grab Reynolds.

Brate. TE. TB.
Until Winston gets pulled in the 3rd qtr for Fitz because that's just what TB does.
In all seriousness Brate is worth a pickup just due to the TE wasteland this year. But he's not a slam dunk like in years past because Godwin and DJax were not viable weapons in the passing attack like they are today. And TB yanking their starting QBs mid game has to come with some concern.

My delimma too. Moore has a great upcoming schedule. Smith I fear is a product of double coverage on Thomas and kamara. I had coutee dropped him for the bye and he's still out there. I can pick up one of these guys. I think Coutee has a higher floor especially in PPR. I'm leaning Moore due to upcoming schedule. Tough decision.T Love said:

I like Coutee for a high-floor weekly flex play...kinda like Edelman, if you will but not quite on the same level yet. If his hamstring is 100% though, he actually has the ability to go deep so that's something to pay attention to.
Smith will be bigtime boom/bust. Talk about mouths to feed! (He might not play this week on Thanksgiving night. He hasn't practiced last two days.)
I absolutely love DJ Moore. I drafted him but got impatient and dropped him after about a month for other needs. He is coming into his own now and is crazy dangerous after the catch. He may be boom/bust simply due to the Carolina passing game but he'll probably be more consistent than Smith, imo. However, it'll be interesting to see what happens when Torrey Smith comes back. You couldn't ask for a better ROS schedule.

Really debating Brate.steelwind said:
I’ve had Rudolph all year and he’s a supreme tease and I don’t know why I am hanging on other than name brand.
Brate will at least get targets. Between him and Njoku, thinking of shedding Rudolph to get a guy with a more solid floor.
Am I nuts?
You’re not. I was a Rudolph owner and dropped him for Doyle two weeks ago. Felt good.

Brate. Clev offesnse doesn’t give enough looks to TE position and it’s the Chubb show now.
In my family league, we have open waivers, so you can add or drop players at any time (unless a guy is in your starting lineup, in which case you have to wait until Monday morning to drop him). I made the decision on Sunday afternoon to pick up Coutee over Moore -- my logic was that I might need to start whoever I picked up this week, and Coutee had a better match-up -- but in retrospect, I think that was a mistake. Moore has a pretty clear path to be WR1 on a good offense with a cake playoff schedule, while Coutee is at best WR2 on a so-so offense. I do agree he has the better floor, though.
OK, I've decided to skip waiver claims, but I'll wake up tomorrow morning and choose the following players, depending on who is available:
For the record, Smith, Moore and Kirk are already gone. If they were available I'd probably go Moore-Coutee-Smith-Reynolds-Kirk.
- Coutee
- Reynolds
- Winston (or Mullins if he's gone; just need a Mahomes fill-in)
- Burkhead
- New Orleans DST

The Panthers have a surprisingly full receiver core when Smith returns. After McCaffrey, Funchess will get the largest share probably but then Samuels, Moore, Smith, and olsen will share whatever is left. Boom or bust indeed.

Tre’Quan Smith went for $57 last night ($100 budget.) That’s not only the most paid for a player this season, I believe it’s a league record for most ever paid for a WW WR (we onl started FABB 5 years ago.)
I picked up Coutee for $42.
Edwards & Riddick sitting on the wire for free.
Its full PPR, mandatory TE, start 2 RB 3WR with W/R/T flex.
Still, kinda crazy.

My rankings for the 5 WR waiver wire targets for the rest of the season:
1. Moore - best schedule and looks to be on his way to becoming the #1 WR in that offense
2. Coutee - should have a safe floor getting lots of receptions out of the slot. Demaryius can be dropped
3. Kirk - surprisingly has a safe floor even if the stats are coming in garbage time. In the past 8 games (05. PPR) he's put up double digit points in 5 of the 8 and only had 1 big clunker. Seems safe to get 7-8 pts/week with upside to get to 15 pts. Nice FF playoff schedule too.
4. Smith - complete boom or bust. Easily the best QB of the bunch but too many mouths to feed. Has 2 good matchups through Week 16 but 1 of them is this week and it doesn't look like he'll play.
5. Reynolds - Rams won't be in shootouts every week and the offense still runs through Gurley, Cooks, and Woods.

Replacing Tre Boo Boo with Brate (at least for the week) tired of 3 targets for 2 rec and 40 yrds.

I finally settled on Moore vs. Coutee (i dropped him last week to fill gap at RB) and I already own Smith. I do worry that Smith is too boom and bust (I started him when he got zero points and benched him last week) and unfortunately he's not 100% and may not even go on Thursday, but I'm willing to deal with this.

He has had a very uneventful season so I can see people not too excited about him. This is due to a combination of QB changes and OJ emerging as the top TE. Now that OJ is out and Winston is back at QB he SHOULD have better production. I grabbed him as bye replacement for Kelce.

FWIW Imma roll With Coutee (picked up last night) over Miller with Trubisky likely out.I like him a lot for the Thanksgiving Day game. While Slay is back (he missed Miller’s breakout game), the guy starting opposite him was on the streets a few days ago, and their slot corners / safety play is down this year.
ETA: I’ll probably Flex Miller over D Cook and one Eagles WR (Alshon or Golden), even though there’s a high probability I’ll pick the wrong guy in green & DC bounces back

Managed to get Famous Jameis for $7 (no one bid?), Jacksonville D (next guy bid $3), but lost on Gus Edwards ($28/$25/$21/$15/I bid $11/$6/three bids of $0 by guys with no FAAB left). Again I just wasn't as bullish that he'd win the starting RB job or be a 65% of the snaps+goalline guy, also it meant I'd have to drop Jalen Richard who's arguably in a better situation.
Good Lord that's insane. I mean he's good ROS but not $30+ good. You guys bid aggressively.

We are the #2 and #3 seeds rn and I think both are pretty comfortable with the rosters we have built. How many more WW gems are gonna emerge ROS?
But yeah, both were very aggressive bids.
(for context my RBs are Chubb, Cook, Kerryon and Lindsay, WRs are AB, Hilton, Jeffrey, A. Miller, Tate)

Oh definitely true. We are so late in the season, 2 games left before the playoffs. Also the league amount can be a factor (14 team double flex league here)

What's the value of Spencer Ware? In a 16 game season, it looks like he has minimal chance of getting a start. I could see a possible start in week 17. Plus KC is on a bye this week.
Is his value injury only right now? I only picked him up two weeks ago but thinking it might be time to cut loose.

I just dropped him for Winston (and kept slugs like Collins and Lockett).
At this point, in the event of an injury to Hunt, you'd be starting Ware in a playoff game without knowing how KC might change their offense without Hunt.

I decided to throw a dart at Giovani Bernard in our PPR league. Basically a handcuff to Mixon, who has missed time both last year and this year, and the Bengals have a terrific schedule for RB's. Also could be a desperation flex if I get hit with the injury bug even if Mixon is healthy.
Other options still on the WW were:
Josh Adams - Eagles have a tough schedule for RB's, low scoring offense, and will most likely keep a committee rolling, limiting Adam's ceiling - he can definitely be useful, but little chance of being a league winner. Gio could be a league winner if the breaks go his way.
WR's still on the WW include Keke Coutee, Chris Godwin, Curtis Samuel, Josh Reynolds, Christian Kirk.

I would say his value is handcuff only. Although most analysts I listen too think he would be the most valuable handcuff out there - but is basically worthless without a Hunt injury. With a Hunt injury he would be a top 10 RB I think. He was expected to carry the load last year until he got hurt, and if he does take over the lead role, he won't have all the bumps and bruises that other RB's have picked up over the past 11 weeks, so he'll have fresher legs than the defenses he goes up against.
If you need a guy to start this week, Ware is almost certainly not your guy. But if he's fairly deep on your depth chart, I'd hold on in case the lottery pick comes in.
Why the hesitation? I can say absolutely that Ware is not the guy if you need a starter this week!
(He’s on bye....)

Lots of teams in my league start guys on Bye. I don't recommend it to people on the boards, but I definitely encourage it for anybody I am playing against this week.
