Top Pickups This Week?

[SexyRexy 60]

Ive got some that are get in before others notice below.

 

Danny Woodhead

Corey Coleman

Dede Westbrook

Robby Anderson

Rex Burkhead

Kenyan Drake

 

Anyone else?

[brotherbock 349]

As of this morning, Burkhead is the only one available in my main league.

 

I'd also see if Denver's Booker is available, and Damien Williams. Just because Drake was the #2 two weeks ago doesn't mean they won't go with Williams now. Has happened before.

Its true. Im just saying drake now simply bc they drafted him round 3 a year ago

No, fair enough. I think they both need a long look. Williams is available for me in a league where I might be able to use him. But I'd have to choose between TyMont (still maybe some hope), Booker (better oppprtunities) and Bosa (killing it at D for me). I might be grabbing him and dropping Bosa (on his bye this week) all the same. But I think Drake is the first pickup until we hear otherwise.

I picked up D Williams because he went unclaimed. Drake has always been a complimentary back and isn't a between the tackles runner which Gase said he wants. Neither is Williams but he is the larger back. For me it is a one week hold to see if there is any clarity after the Oakland game.

Ohio State Buckeye: Rod Smith

Brock Osweiler??? If you're desperate for a bye week filler this has risky possibilities.

Drew Stanton against the 49ers might be a better risky option.

[bobby heenan 60]

How about Vernon as a streamer/bye week filler? Might even give u several decent weeks if reed misses more time

 

Also like Curtis Samuel as a deeper speculative....I think Carolina is going to open the offense up similar to kc and start using Samuel like they do with tyreek to create misdirection

Vernon Davis will also have the benefit of Earl Thomas likely being out for the Hawks this week.

I just got Alex Collins, dude looks good as hell, as long as he doesn't fumble his shot away.

I won't know until the middle of the night if I get him, I don't have much blind bid dollars left but I'm still able to bid 15% of our original blind bid allotment and people in my league don't tend to bid much except me and another guy but I still have more to bid with then he does so hope I get Alex Collins. He has looked real good.

Jeeeeesssusss fuckin christ how is he still on waivers.

 

Shiit just baffles me

[SexyRexy 60]

I ended up with

 

Corey Coleman

Dede Westbrook

Rex burkhead

Damien williams

[shredhead 21]

Jeeeeesssusss fuckin christ how is he still on waivers.

 

Shiit just baffles me

Before last weekend he had just 365 yards from scrimmage and only 2 targets all season in the receiving game. He still has 0 TD's on the season and the Baltimore running game has been a mess all season. People have bye week issues to fill, and dropping their RB4 or RB 5 who has done very little all season is not unreasonable. You shouldn't be baffled.

 

Edit to add: Don't forget about his 2 fumbles lost so far this season........Alex Collins isn't saving anybody's season.

[cyclone24 1,814]

Thinking a week ahead when I need a defense.,.....saw the giants def is available AT San Fran.

 

Haven’t seen giants defense this year....that a solid pickup for one week?

Bears available?

 

Got GB at home....matchups with San Fran and Cleveland in 2nf half too....getting better....shutdown Carolina n scroed two defensive TDs...held brees without a TD pass in new Orleans

I was the guy who dropped Collins before last week. Had him for several weeks, kept seeing the Ravens not using him not using him, not using him. For those who weren't paying attention, he'd been running like that for weeks. It wasn't just last Thursday. And the coaches didn't give a sh!t. I dropped him because of usage, not talent. Turns out it was a mistake, but it wasn't without reason. He finally got the usage I'd been waiting for and figured wasn't going to happen.

Same here. He was easily the player on my roster who was least likely to start for me based on usage and what I had seen to that point, so away he went. I'm not really that bummed about my decision.

They are.....was hoping to grab them week 11....2 weeks before San Fran. Figured green bags offense still might be better than San Fran’s.

[brotherbock 349]

Well, I am Not hugely, but a bit. I kept Smallwood over Collins, expecting the usage in PPR to help. Yeah, nope. Swing and a miss. Only the second real mistake I've made in drops/adds this year, and I managed to wind up with both DMC and Alf after this weekend, so I don't feel so bad at the mo.

I was one of those guys and I saw him run well and knew he could be effective it he got more carries. The reason I dropped him was I'm not sure how many times the Ravens are going to be in a situation where they can run the ball 30+ times. The offense is okay at best and if they get behind the game script calls for more of Buck Allen and less of Collins. In addition, Woodhead is potentially back in the mix when he returns. I just didn't see a huge opportunity for him, not that he lacks talent, just not sure if gets the 15-20 touches he needs to be an RB 2.

 

The one thing that I did regret by dropping him is that with Allen fumbling in the red zone he's probably going to get red zone touches now. That's where they didn't trust him before but they probably will going forward.

Yup. It was just bad timing on our part. But I still think not terrible reasoning.
