He is worth grabbing, but I wouldn't drop any of those RB's you currently have.

Bowe just hasn't been the same with Reid/Smith, and I don't see why that would change. I think Taliaferro has a chance to be the lead back and their guy at RB for the future - at least I think the Ravens will see if he can do it. They could sure use a better story at RB.

I think you drop either one of Bowe or Sanu, or both. Sanu is on bye and Marvin Jones will be back in week 5. Bowe, well, he may catch a TD here or there but won't have any big games. If it were me and Jones is out there, grab him over Bowe and drop Sanu for Taliaferro.

I'm gonna wait and see if he's there as a Free Agent Wednesday morning. I just don't see enough value to try and get him off waivers.

I agree, especially in ppr. I don't see him being a good receiving RB. I like him, but I don't have him in my top 20 RB even if starting.

Most leagues run waivers, usually early Wednesday morning.

Waivers have all the teams listed by "priority" - which means it looks at the request of the team with the top waiver pick and executes their requested add/drop. If that first team took Cousins, whoever has the next waiver pick won't get Cousins if that was their request. After the waivers run, it's usually a free-for-all until players are locked again at their game times (which is what he means by picking somebody up as a free agent).

The trick is that in some leagues - but not all - if you use a waiver request you go back to the end of the line, which means you have no shot at next week's waiver superstar. In other leagues, waiver priority gets reset every week, usually based on reverse rankings (worst team gets first pick). If they reset there's no reason not to use it; if they don't, you really have to assess the value of that move, especially if you have a high waiver priority.

Definitely. Before worrying about Cousins. He could turn out to be your RB2 going forward. Better opportunity right now than Freeman.

Well, I've got a $10 bid out for him. Let's hope I get him.

I'm gonna try to grab him in my league to replace woodhead. It's my 5th RB, so if I get him then great. If not, who cares. So glad I picked up Donald Brown last week. He's projecting a MONSTER week with Woodhead and Matthews both out, and a terrible defense to run against.
