Colt McCoy


Actually Dennard isn't a terrible option..and not sure why your so hard on him..dude was a rookie last year, transitioning from a QB to a RB. It's not like the guy has been toiling away on the bench for a few years and suddenly has one good game. He's worth a look, although when Gerhert is healthy, I wouldn't expect too much from him.

My top claim would be Tre Mason. I like Brown to have a much better wk 8, but after that, Freddie Jackson is likely going to be back, and Brown will most likely be the backup..although, he'd still be better at it than Spiller was. But Brown would be my #2 choice without question.

I'd probably put Robinson in at #3

Really wouldn't bother with Anthony "Boobie" Dixon, guy looked like he was going to keel over dead from a heart attack at any moment, no explosiveness, no vision, no nothing..other than " if you need two, I'll get ya two, if you need three, I'll get ya two!"

DOn't forget about the wideouts..
Doug Baldwin will obviously be a big one, and probably wasn't grabbed in everyone's leagues,
and I dont' think it would be a terrible idea to take a flyer on Stevie Johnson if your desperate

I'm considering dropping P. Thomas to grab Mason.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

My top option this week is a TE... And his name is not Escobar...

I like Scott Chandler(won't use a waiver pick), but with buffalo's new running game, i just see orton needing a Big receiver to get the yards that their running game should have... Plus, it will open the field up better for Bryce Brown to run...

 

[Chef99]

Mason seems like the top dog...I think Stacy's days are done, with Benny handling the passing downs.

 

[romeo212000]

Thoughts on dropping Thomas for Mason?

 

[SteelersPride]

i guess your right on dennard chef........

are you serious on mccoy?

now i gotta decide who if any to drop for them......

You meant Treff, and I wanna know if he's saying Boobie needs a reduction.

Mason would be my first choice. Tough short term schedule though. Dixon is better than Treff portrays him, but he doesn't have the lungs for 15 carries and special teams (although they'll probably replace him on st). He'll definitely get goal line work. Brown will be Spiller. (hopefully better from the neck up). Also, the Bills schedule isn't the greatest short term either (plus a bye).

 

[Chef99]

I just read a quote by Jeff Fisher that Zac Stacy could get 25 carries next week. So I could be way off about Stacy.

I still like Mason.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I think Jordan Matthews starts to get more work coming out of their bye. Good ROS pick up.

 

[averagejoe]

Unless you're desperate for a RB, I think its dangerous to swap out a player that may be statistically ahead of any of the Rams or Jaguars RB. From what I've read, the coaches don't seem glued to any one specific RB. Gerhart is rumored to play in week 8 too. Too much mediocrity between Gerhart/Shoelace/Storm/Todman and Stacy/Cunningham/Mason.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

maybe my favorite preseason sleeper is going to be good... Martavis Bryant with a TD, maybe he will be a relevant WR...

Did we watch the same game? Boobie is awful from what I saw

 

[TREFF]

Only if the Boobies grade out as F's or larger. . Otherwise a reduction is blasphemy

 

[TKOSpikes]

I watched it twice. I'm not saying he's a feature back, but he hits the A and B gaps hard. Lots of 2nd and 5's after his 1st down runs. I'll say again though, I'd rather have Matthews for a flex pick up. Including Mason.
