fantasy WRs

[maniax]

In the league that I traded away Calvin Johnson for Ryan Mathews, and the same league that I just lost Kenny Britt, I have these fantasy WRs:

AJ Green
Brandon Lloyd
Roy Williams

The league is kind of funny because people in the league drain the waiver wire for RBs, but they leave pretty good WRs on there. So these are the WRs currently available off the waiver wire. So I'm curious how people would rank my WRs and the waiver wire WRs?

waiver wire:
Sidney Rice
Burress
Crabtree
Garcon
Julio Jones
Bess

Danarius Moore Oakland Raiders

I just checked and someone has taken him already, believe it or not.

I set my waiver order to:
Julio Jones
Plaxico
S. Rice
Garcon
Crabtree

And I'm dropping Britt and Roy Williams, and picking up two of these receivers.

That's too bad... I picked him up after week 1 when I lost Amendola in the league I am in... Great pick up so far

At first he was a bit of a homer pick up for me.but due to injuries and denarius taking full advantage of the opportunity he's been a steal .

Sidney Rice looked good in his first outing. Who knows if he can stay healthy, but who else are they going to throw the ball to? I'd go for Rice or Plax.

I'd go with Plax... Sanchez seems to be comfortable throwing to him whenever they are at or near the red zone for TD's

agree

I like Plax and Julio Jones. Both of those teams have multiple weapons, so the WRs will get single covered. It's just a matter of time before Julio Jones starts getting some TDs, he's got 0 now.

I like Sidney Rice as well but I think better teams will shut him down because Seattle offense is so crappy, and make Seattle beat them another way which they cannot because they don't really have any other weapons on offense and they don't run the ball well either.

Man I can't believe you traded Megatron. As for the names you mentioned. I like Julio Jones and Plax. Plax probably being a bigger red zone target.

Dude, I love Megatron more than any other receiver out there. I've had him 3 years in a row, and in multiple leagues. But I had only 1 starting RB, Ray Rice.
My other RBs are crap (Pierre Thomas 3 points, Starks -1 point, Helu 2 points).

Did you see the week Ryan Mathews had? 2nd best RB behind McFadden. It was the Mathews' coming out party.

A lineup of:

Ray Rice, Mathews and pick 2 receivers (AJ Green, Plax, Julio Jones, etc.)

is better than:

Ray Rice, crap, Megatron, pick 1 receiver

 

[maniax]

Besides I also analyzed every team in the league and nobody really had spare RBs kicking around except one guy had Mathews on the bench behind MDJ and Best. And his receivers could use an upgrade.

 

[SRPnVA]

You're just a lot higher on Mathews. Don't really trust him until he can show that he can put together a full season. And I have Tolbert in one of my leagues lol. Dude put up a goose egg last week.

yep, to me it was a no brainer.....keep Megatron. oh well......

don't have a big issue with other opinions too, there's some valid points. but my opinion remains Rice as the best on this list.

Ok not only did I do the unspeakable and trade Megatron, I was also playing against Megatron this week and I beat his team! My team is the Torn ACLs (because I drafted Charles and Britt )
