Waiver Wire Pick Ups Advice

[femurov]

Never mind. Didn’t look at the date.

Yeah... I already did that.

 

[femurov]

I went Geno. Sucks because someone else put in for him, so I had to pay $5. I had Cousins as my backup plan and he would have went uncontested for $1.

 

[SteelersPride]

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.

Probably cousins. But, consider jameis. Hes chucking it 40+ a game…

Edit: derr SP, read all the replies before commenting.

Well, shit. Both my TEs were declared out today. Better than game time, but still sucks. I have been thinking about it all week and hoped I didn't have to make this decision, but here we are. I will post the who is available part, but I think I am more concerned about the who do I drop part of this.

Best available...

Mike Gesicki @ LAC
Tyler Conklin vs IND
AJ Barner @ SF - Fant is out
Dalton Schultz @ DAL
Josh Oliver @ TEN

I could list a few more, but it has to be Gesicki, right?

Who do I drop?

Geno Smith - I have Stroud, but I just paid a few bucks to get Geno to pair with him for matchups the ROS

Audric Estime - I just paid a couple of bucks for him, too. But at RB, I also have Achane, Mixon, Chase Brown, Aaron Jones, and...

Jonathan Brooks - His path to taking this backfield over when he gets healthy has taken a bit of a detour.

Amari Cooper - I can't do that, right? Nor can I drop...

Sam LaPorta or Dalton Kincaid - The aforementioned gimpy ass TEs

Has to be Estime or Geno, right?

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Chubb at NO
Montgomery vs jax

 

[femurov]

Monty is on your ww?

Higgins is back, Gesicki doesn't get much action when Tee plays.

I'm guessing someone picked up Dissly and Knox already? I'd play either of them in a juicy matchup over Gesicki easily

Yeah... they are gone.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Yeah... they are gone.

That's tough, Barner is an interesting dart throw assuming SEA needs Geno to air it out to stay competitive. Like Conk's matchup but nothing inspiring with Rodgers/Jets O right now

Estime is who I'd cut, not involved in the passing game, so unless you think he's gonna start getting those touches

 

[TKOSpikes]

Yeah... they are gone.

Which guy do you think you can get back if you drop? Because you'll need a QB in week 14 (let alone playing matchups with the underwhelming Stroud).

Gesicki is my add choice, but that is by default, not excitement.

Brock Wright (DET) might be a nice plug-in with LaPorta out?

Geno has my cut vote. His remaining schedule is against some decent defenses. And even divisional games can be unpredictable.



With Estime still out there on waivers in some leagues, you might even be able to drop him and pick him back up on Tuesday?

Pretty much what I have been leaning towards today. Next highest bid for Geno was way higher than Estime.

Anyone I drop will be available on Tuesday for me to pick back up. I just may have to.pay for him

Again... more who to drop than who to pick up.

I had to grab a TE a couple of weeks ago when both Kincaid and LaPorta were hurt. It was Jonnu Smith that I grabbed. So I have 3 TEs and I hate to carry 2. Trade deadline has passed, so I have to dump at least 1. It is a keeper league, but none of these guys would be considered for me.

Who is it? Kincaid, LaPorta or Jonnu?

LaPorta easily for me, he's just not featured in that offense this season with WRs healthy. Although Kincaid hasn't fared any better, he at least had a chance each week to lead his team in targets, gotta hope he starts doing more with them tho. No way I'd drop Jonnu at this point, he's getting targets/touches in the RZ + Tua has been good since return from injury...I'd easily start Jonnu over both of these "bigger name" TE talents based on current role within offense and production YTD

Is there a reason you "need" to drop one? As bad as Kincaid and LaPorta have been, dropping one is a gift for someone else.

Kincaid would be my choice if you're forced.

I guess not, but I always like to handcuff my RBs this time of year and I am bouncing around the idea of going after Keenan Allen now that the new OC in Chicago decided to introduce him to Caleb Williams and explain that they are on the same team.

 

[averagejoe]

I would lean on adding some handcuffs to some of the top playoff teams. Guessing that in they might start resting (or limiting) guys to keep them fresh for the playoffs.
