I would say Cam Newton, he is only owned is 25% of ESPN leagues. Jacoby Jones too if he is available, with Walter out for a while he will get a lot of looks. I was gonna say Caddy, but you stole him.

Would you guys drop ocho cinco, jacoby ford, or dustin keller for Caddy williams?

Id say Ocho then Ford depending on your preference, Ford look like he might get utlized alot in Oak offense. Ocho if he doesn't pick it up soon I wouldn't be surprised if they cut him, Brady seems just find throwing to his old mates in branch and now the TE

I'd drop Ocho. Don't drop Keller, I think he's in for a nice year.

A solid pick up would be Brandon Gibson. He's shown flashes of doing big things and with Amendola out he could put up some nice numbers. He's currently playing way more snaps than MSW.

I picked up Gibson before the season started and stashed him on the end of my bench. I could have tried for guys like Burleson, Nelson and Meachem this week and would have had to drop Gibson to do it, but opted to pick up the Jets D/ST with my waiver proirity (don't know why they were available) since none of those guys would be starting ahead of Maclin or Boldin this week at WR, or Law Firm at flex. A lot of people are saying Gibson is going to be the next Lloyd in McDaniels' offense, which is wrong -- he's not the same big receiver who will climb the ladder to make big catches. However, he probably will be their #1 WR and will get a lot of targets because of his versatility.

Now, if Calvin Johnson doesn't play this week, I may have to go get Burleson, playing as the #1 against KC's secondary. Question is, do I drop Gibson or Gronk (backup TE behind Clark, just in case Clark really blows without Manning)?

I would hold on to Clark, he will end up being a safety blanket for Collins (Like witten was last year when Romo went down) He may have a slow few weeks while the O-line gels, but I dont see him having a bad year. He wont have as many pts as last year though.

Somebody dropped Malcom Floyd this week, I was able to get rid of Lee Evans for him.

I don't know why people are saying to drop Ocho already.

This is easily Jacoby Ford and next Keller.

I think its time to give up on Lee Evans & Ingram.....Daniel Thomas is on waivers in my league you guys think its worth dropping Ingram for him? I'm not sure who to replace Evans with, I know decker had a big week but it was Cinn and Lloyd was out, D. Moore, Burelson are just a few I know are on waivers.

Pharmcat · Post #12 » by **Pharmcat** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 4:24 pm

d thomas is a must pickup if available

i think the pickup of the week is mcgahee if he available

people are dropping ingram bess and garcon like crazy today

LApwnd · Post #13 » by **LApwnd** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 7:55 pm

who do you guys think has better long term upside and more potential to keep doing what they did in week 2

D. Moore Oak
A Decker Den

atm, I feel like Moore has better chance as Oak doesn't really have a legit #1 receiver, as Den with Orton/Lloyd duo, once lloyd returns I dont see Decker getting much opportunity but Moore game probably stood out enough to out shine the two Oak WR that were out.

Post #14 » by **Maritimer** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 10:00 pm

I went with Decker over Moore in my auction league. Denver's going be in lots of shootouts, and I don't believe Lloyd is as good as he seemed last year. They'll realize they have a playmaker and feature him a lot -- they have 3 WRs and marginally effective TEs. Oakland's situation is murkier, with Ford, Moore, Murphy, Schilens (if he were ever healthy), and even DHB (they'll keep giving him opportunities to show he was worth the pick) all being involved. Even Kevin Boss will be involved once he's back. Once you factor in Orton vs. Campbell, I lean Decker, though it's personal preference, ultimately.

If you guys have a spot I would pick up helu from the redskins, from what I;m seeing he will start taking over the backfield starting week 5ish

Post #16 » by **Maritimer** » Tue Sep 20, 2011 11:26 pm

Helu or Delone Carter? I'd be worried that even if Helu gets the starting job, he's still going to share carries because he still plays for Mike Shanahan. I've been stashing Carter on my bench for the inevitable Addai injury, and feel kinda committed to following it through now.

I would probably go Helu, but that is tough bc if the Colts offense does get it going Carter will get the redzone carries.

Would you guys drop ocho or jacoby ford for crabtree? Crabtree has that nagging foot injury, but with Edwards out now he will get alot of looks when he gets back.

I'd go Helu. Carter may be the safer pick in that he's guaranteed to likely get a few touchdowns as the short yardage back, but if you have the roster spot to burn...Helu has greater upside.

I didn't get Helu. Ended up with Eric Decker, who could be interesting. Crazy thing is, a guy in my league (a keeper league where you can keep 5 guys each year with no penalty) dropped Jamaal Charles for Helu but held on to Tebow. Insane. I'm now sitting with the 5th waiver priority; I put in a request for Charles, dropping Decker, but I don't think there's anyway all 4 of the guys in front of me pass on Charles.
