Hopefully with the Julio injury you can convince someone to trade for him because he's going to get "all the work." Which is really the opposite of what's true for WRs; Roddy is going to get blanketed by defenders and still won't be 100% even after the bye. If there's anyone you should get, it's Harry Douglas.

For a good spot start in week 6, check out Terrance Williams, had a huge day against Denver and should have another big game against the bad Eagles defense.

Harry Douglas is a must add but realistically he is nothing better than a flex option. It's not like he was great in the games White was being used as an obvious decoy. He also hardly ever gets targeted in the end zone.

Anyone want to buy my remaining Falcons season tickets for the last 5 games :(

I'm still hoping for a good game Week 16. At least we have a better chance of sending Candlestick off in proper fashion now. Only game I didn't sell this year.

You really did nothing really risky there other than start T.Williams over Edelman. So you get credit for that, but the rest of the moves were stat quo. And you probably didn't start Edelman b/c of Amendola (stat quo), because you would have started him regardless since Cincy's secondary was missing one of its key playmakers who would cover Edelman and much of the rest of Cincy's secondary were banged up (not many people knew that). Edelman actually should have had a lot more points but kept dropping passes (including a TD) due to the heavy rain. You got lucky, grats.

I picked up Julius, Woodhead, T. Williams, and Rams defense all off the waiver wire in previous weeks, not the week of Denver vs Dallas game. That's why it was an accomplishment. :D

Oh, nice pickups. I think my coup d' tat was picking up j.bell and mcgahee off waivers and flipping them for S.Jackson (assuming he comes back in beast mode). Also picked up Moreno off waivers in week 1 and Fleener in week 3.

This week I just picked up Jerome Simpson who I think will continue to produce at super high levels, as indicated on PFF's yards per route. The Freeman signing ups his value even more now that the deep ball is a possibility for both! With teams stacking the box against A-P, that will open up the passing game even more. Usually teams' top covers will be on Jennings which opens Simpson up. Once Freeman is instituted, I may even start Simpson over S.Smith depending on the matchup.

I couldn't pull the trigger on Zac Stacy this week since he's already hurt, not a good sign.

Garrett Graham is available in almost all leagues. He's Owen Daniels' backup and has been producing even though he's only on the field some of the time.

Jordan Reed is one to watch. He's the #1 TE in Washington.

Also Heath Miller if no one has picked him up yet, or if they dropped him for his bye.

Funny you should mention Graham because he's my #1 pickup, even before Pierre Thomas and Ellington on waivers. If I don't get him, I have to either bet on Fleener or go for Reed like you said. Graham has more upside than Heath Miller I think (to the person who asked). Schaub loves his TE's.

Yeah if Roddy is ever 100% I may get some value for him, but I'm about to cut him because he's putting himself over the team. He should take a cue from Steven Jackson (don't come back until 100%). The only reason he's still on my bench is b/c that league has 3 receivers.

If Houston does decide to bench Schaub in favor of T.J. Yates it might not be such a bad thing for Houston TEs and Arian Foster. Even though I would expect Yates to be better than his 2011 season he did nothing but dink & dunk to his Tight Ends and throw check downs to Arian Foster.

Graham is taken in my league somehow. So I'm forced to pick up Reed this week and drop Winslow. Winslow looked like a horrible pick up for week 5. Until he got that 1 yard TD. Then he was an average pick up.

What's the word on zac Stacy, Kendell wright and the wide out from SD. There all on my waviers. Don't know how to rank them. I just need more trade bait.

Zac Stacy is going to be a hot pickup. He looked much better than Richardson and will grab the starting job to himself if he keeps it up. But don't expect fireworks, he was running against a garbage team.

Vincent Brown had a good game for San Diego but it would be hard to trust him putting up solid fantasy numbers on a weekly basis as there is no clear #1 WR and Rivers tends to target Gates and Woodhead quite a bit.

Kendall Wright should be a solid addition in ppr leagues for teams needing some depth. I don't know what it is but he seems to click with Fitzpatrick better than Nate Washington does. With Kenny Britt dropping out of the picture either of those two may be a decent pickup but the Titans schedule is tough for the next couple weeks then they have a bye so you may not even start one of these guys for a month.

And I would temper expectations for Graham. The Texans love to run 2 tight-end formations but I have no idea if they will continue to do this with rookie TE Ryan Griffin.

heres the thing, i'm easily upgrading. Because its Montee ball for Zac Stacy. As long as Stacy gets some snaps and aviods injury i'm in the WIN. I just didn't know if he was truthy worth using my waiver wire #2 on. Had i have like a #8 or lower, i would easily spend it.

Reed shouldn't be on anyone's radar so i'll just grab him at 4AM.

My league has a 3 pick up CAP per week. So this week i need a Kicker to replace Stergis, a TE to replace Winslow. I'm up in the air for Keenan Allen off the FA or use my wire on Zac Stacy. Or risk it and see if Zac is picked up thru the wire. People in my league are ALL OVER guys like him and RB is slim.

I have Lamar Miller, Cno2k and Chalres.

David wilson and Montee ball are being dropped so Zac looks more tempting.

In a PPR league tho.

Yeah Zac Stacy is a no brainer if you can grab him, I would be surprised if nobody put in waiver claims for him.

I dropped Montee Ball in a league weeks back but for some reason I am holding onto David Wilson in a league and I don't know why.

Kennan Allen came out of nowhere and has potential to stand out as he has the physical attributes for a legit #1 WR. If I had to choose a Chargers WR I would rather have Vincent Brown as I think Allen will have quite a few weeks where he does nothing. Plus if Ryan Matthews is injured then the already bad Chargers running game will be shut down and I doubt the Rivers/Allen connection would do well against even modest cover 2 defenses.

I picked up Stacy Sunday morning. :sneaky:

My Waiver request this week is to hopefully drop Ryan Mathews for Blackmon.

If anyone here is still up:

Take James Jones or Terrance Williams first in waivers?

Need to patch up this hole Julio left in my heart and my team.

Jones first. Williams may not be starting when Austin comes back, which I think would be a mistake. Also, Austin has not been right for a year and a half now but the Cowboys keep playing him.

Yup, unless you need a Plug n Play receiver for this week, Jones is the much better pickup.

Stacy's Rams have a negative Run Block grade per PFF, about the same as Oakland, Cleveland, and Arizona. So that is the kind of production you're going to get, and keep in mind Oakland benefits from Pryor so that's not even a good comparison. So think Cleveland and Arizona's production.

FYI Moreno benefits from the best Pass block and 9th best run block Offensive Lines. It's still better than 11 teams which isn't bad, but it's not great either.

I think I will drop Giovani Bernard in leagues I have him in. He is just sitting as a 4th or 5th RB and not being played. I keep hoping he gets a bigger role but it is not happening. I was hoping this week it would have happened as it was leaning that way the previous two, but the Bengal split the touches about 50/50 this weekend.

So i was able to get Stacy.

What do you guys think of my starting line up right now? I'll be dropping Winslow most likely for Reed, maybe Celek or Pettigrew. All pending what i feel like on gameday.
