Really need the Raiders to start using Waller!

Surely that drop in usage was to be assumed the day the traded for Adams, shouldn't it have been??

I wouldn't bank on his usage going up outside of the occasional game where defenses flat out commit to canceling Adams, Renfrow, and Jacobs.

It ain't like they aren't trying, just not all that often, and is isn't connecting

Kinda knew he'd have trouble staying healthy.

But you have to wonder about Allgeier v Huntley. Huntley an UDFA has the extra year of experience, but only on the practice squad. Allgeier fifth-round rookie.

Allgeier will be the lead but will get spelled a ton by Huntley.

Allgeier should have the edge on passing down work, should be the more valuable touches in that offense, but Mariota hasn't been targeting RBs a ton, even with Patterson

Mariota has been terrible. The only guy with fewer completions per game is Justin Fields.

Ridder?

Either that or angling for a great first round pick next year.

Kinda gotta see what you have in Ridder.

Problem is they're 2-2 and tied for the division lead, so a weird time to hand it to the rookie. It'll get weirder if they sneak past Tampa Bay next week.

Don't forget Baker! He also sucks at QB along with MM and Fields

it is kinda unfortunate that ATL has won some games here so they don't really have a reason to turn to Ridder just yet. I'm sure he'll suck when he gets a chance, but not much different than what they're getting now.

I thought the opposite heading into the season, but Mariota really isn't even doing anything, so why not let Ridder get that experience?
Figured Mariota could be Wal-mart version of Alex Smith with the weapons they have, but that was expecting too much

True but I mean in order for teams to stop double/triple teaming Adams actually USE Waller

Best hope for that is Jacob's getting 25 carries a game and Renfrow returning. Then maybe he'll be left alone a bit more often

So is he trade bait then?

In my world, everyone is always trade bait, some just cost more than others.

I certainly wouldn't be looking to trade him though..
A- you're selling low
B- depending on who's available, even a short changed Waller is likely still quantum leaps ahead of what you'd replace him with

Yeah there is absolutely nothing on the waiver.

My Bench TE is: Dallas Goedert

Waiver:

Freiermuth
Knox
Kmet
Fant
Smith Jr
Alie-Cox
Brate

If Friermouth is available on waivers, I would be shocked if you were able to swing a deal the nets anything of significance from dealing Waller.

But if you can, he's the replacement, imho

Replacement of Goedert or Waller?

 

[TKOSpikes]

Replacement of Goedert or Waller?

He’s saying trade Waller, add Freiermuth and roll with Goedert and Freiermuth.

I agree. Most probably would agree.

But if Freiermuth is available (among the others), I doubt anyone would trade for Waller. You can try though.

 

[TREFF]

Yes..what TKO said.


To elaborate a bit further-
If Friermouth, the current #7-ish scoring TE, is still available for free, than I highly doubt anyone in the league is feeling the need to upgrade their TE slot...thus, finding a trade partner is going to be awfully difficult.

Wtf he just played for the saints

Something is fishy with these new roster rules

Saints sent him back to practice squad so he wasn't part of their current 53 man roster

Yeah I guess I should've been more specific, they signed him off the Saints practice squad.

Which I'm somewhat surprised the Saints allowed to happen. You can block that move by adding him to the active roster, and Lat Murray certainly appeared to be more effective than whatever Ingram has left in the tank on Sunday.

Somewhat surprised that Denver wen that route as well, given the short week and playing on Thursday. I mean its not like Gordon, Boone, and Ozigbo would be the worst RB room in the NFL on week 5, and they all know the playbook, the system, and the way Russ will 'cook', no one they bring in will, nor do they have the time to figure it out.

Side note..the big conversation on local Denver radio is that the RB competition in '21 and the fact that he's a #2 in '22, may have given Gordon and his weak constitution, the 'yips' and now that there is no competition, he won't be as likely to fumble. Yeah, sure, keep telling yourself that
