Waiver Wire Pick Ups Advice

[wildturkey]

Looking to dump Godwin and possibly Juju and pick up another WR and maybe a handcuff for one of my RBs.

RBs available...

Jaylen Wright (I have Achane)
Dameon Pierce (I have Mixon)
Devin Singletary (not a handcuff, but available)
Jaylen Warren (also not a handcuff)

WRs available...

Romeo Doubs
Jakobi Meyers
Troy Franklin (is he becoming relevant?)
Rashod Bateman

Any thoughts here? Looking more at the rest of the season than just next week. Leaning towards Wright and Doubs right now.

Only handcuff I'd consider is Wright. But unless you just have the roster space, I wouldn't bother with cuffs right this second.

For WRs, I'd got Bateman, Doubs, and Meyers in that order. Bateman isn't getting a lot of targets, but he keeps converting what he gets into useful fantasy numbers. Baltimore's offense is on fire right now so might as well ride the wave since its not like there's a obvious choice on the wire out there in most leagues if you're looking to replace Godwin or one of the thousand other WRs that got hurt this weekend

Depends on your rbs. Personally pearce has the most value if an injury occurs and mixon already banged up. Think tracy ate into singletarys work but hes worth an add

 

[femurov]

QB - Stroud
RB - Achane, Mixon, A. Jones, Chase Brown, Ty Chandler
WR - Godwin, DK, Olave, Amari Cooper, JSN, Juju
TE - LaPorta, Kincaid

Man... my WRs looked so damn sexy about 4 weeks ago when I decided to trade Diggs. This is why I am big on building depth. You will probably need it at some point during the season.

I meant to quote your above post with this.

I'd grab your first thought...

Wright is a nice cuff
Doubs needs to be owned

Then I'd test the waters with Brown and JSN for a WR upgrade. With DK banged up, JSN might look intriguing in an offer.

ROS who do you like

Jakobi Meyers-Raiders suck real bad but he's a good WR when healthy and basically soaks in all the WR targets

Josh Downs-Been good with Flacco who is now the starter. Little bit injury prone like Meyers but is also competing for targets with Pittman. Colts are a better team though so possibly more opportunities

Gimme Downs with Flacco.

Kills me to say this, but the Vikes' secondary is in for a long day this week.

Real toss up there. Probably lean on Meyers like the Raiders will... but I bet Downs has bigger splash weeks scattered between some duds.

Keep an eye on sean tucker. I loved him coming out of college. I still stand by he would of been a top 4 round pick if he didnt have health concerns.

Any blurbs i have seen about the Bucs RB room is that theyre going with the hot hand. Bad enough a lot of teams are splitting the backfield between 2 RB. But 3?

No thanks.

Meyers - Plenty of targets (7-10) when healthy

Is Tyler Lockett a good pick up? Or will rominson of the Giants good pick ups off waivers? @averagejoe @SmokingMonkey

Agree with this thought, however, given the inefficiency of White as a runner - I think next yr there is a changing of the guard. White will still be involved heavily THIS YR since he does catch passes well and with Godwin and Evans on the shelf for awhile he'll get plenty of opportunities. Would not surprise me at all if next season it's the Irving - Tucker show. ....

He is for as long as dk is out

Always liked Lockett. But there is some caution.... Geno may be the passing leader but he only has 8 passing TD (16th).

As for the G-men, until they show me they have a passing offense, i'd be in no hurry to add anyone from them.

Maybe target McMillen, Elijah Moore or thw kid from Jax. At least they have QB that actually throw the ball.

Lockett hasn't been all that good when both DK and JSN have been playing. Robinson has fallen off the last few weeks too. You got other options on the wire?

 

[cwalke3408]

Khalil Herbert traded to Cincinnati after Zach Moss injury.
Probably take some work from Chase Brown but how much?
Anyone dropping Faab on Herbert?

 

[femurov]

Need a QB for ROS to play matchups with Stroud, who has not turned into a must start every week...

Geno Smith
Cousins
Winston
Carr
Aaron Rodgers
Drake Maye
Tua

Leaning Geno or Cousins.

 

[leftypower]

Those would be my choices as well. .... think maybe I put Cousins a step ahead of Geno.

I like Geno and cousins the most out of that group as well, flip a coin

Pick up Myers. When healthy he’s their #1.

Never mind. Didn’t look at the date.
