Waiver Wire!! (Discuss waiver/FA pickups here) 

Post#1 » by Monkeyfeng06 » Mon Sep 10, 2007 11:48 am

so some guy in my league is dropping fantasy busts for week one like crazy. he's dropping guys like donte stallworth.. i really want to pick him up.. but i have to drop wes welker.. who should i choose? donte stallworht or wes welker?

welker looks like brady's favorite target. he's sure handed and he's a very good receiver. donte stallworth gives you more points but his injury prone and his production is less consistent... i'm torn...

I think Welker will have a better year than Stallworth.

I had a similar quandry and the fact that my league counts return yards tipped the scales to Welker. Even without the return yards I'd still go with Welker since he figures to have more catches.

Even after Lendale **** up he still got a lot of touches. Theyll still split the carries and Brown wont be able to stay healthy or run at that high a level.

As for Curry he'll have a damn good season fantasy wise. Especially if they get Daunte in there, since those two reportedly have great chemistry together. Plus if he can get 133 and a TD from a scrub like McCown hes definitely doing something right.

Okay I should I pick up Avant over Curry? I picked up Chris Brown and dropped Brandon Marshall. Was it worth it?
First the federal government borrowed money; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America.

Id go with Curry. Porter has attitude issues which will likely rise again (they tried to trade him last year but no one would take him i think).

the funny thing is that I had curry to begin with before his big game, then someone dropped porter so I picked up porter thinking he would be the #1 WR. I'll be so mad if i exchange them again and porter goes off haha. I'm already mad about dropping curry before his first game.

there's an epidemic going on in my money league... someone just dropped reggie brown for derrick mason.. yes, THE derrick mason.. this is so awful and weird...

so far, i have picked up:

mark clayton, dropped wes welker
nate kaeding, dropped neil rackers

braylon edwards
joey galloway
mark clayton

Youre insane. Crosby is better than Kaeding, Reggie Brown is garbage, and the Jacobs for lewis thing is really a wash.

The only move I really don't like is dropping Welker for Clayton. The Ravens just don't move the ball well enough. Welker on the other hand will get plenty of looks.

what do you guys think about Roydell Williams on the Titans? I have Greg Jennings but that guy has been injured and may get his spot taken away if he doesnt watch out! Toomer is also still available in my league too.
