QB-not much to see here in most leagues

Cassell- Garbage time QB?

RB-

Daryl Richardson, dude looked explosive, Jackson was benched for Spiking it allegedly, but also now reports has a hamstring issue
Andre Brown, more complete back then Wilson at this point, looked much better filling in for Bradshaw as a weapon in both passing and running
Bilal Powell, Greene looked really bad today, but also seemed to get a concussion, dude was about to fall over on the field, but returned later

WR-

Danny Amendola, if for some reason this guy isnt rostered, what are you waiting for
Donnie Avery, filled in nicely for Collie this week, deep league ppr filler
Brian Hartline, best receiver on the Dolphins, someones gotta catch it

TE-

Donte Rosario, weekly fluke, but what we know is he is the no 2 passing option if Gates is out, might be someone to add if you own Gates, handcuff your TE
Brent Celek, looks like hes back where he was late 2010. Top 10 TE going forward? With Maclin and Jackson always getting hurt, hes a solid target
Dennis Pitta, if you didnt add him this week out of skepticism, now is the time. Hes the Gronk in the Ravens system

Who you guys got?
Goodson seems like clear Mcfadden handcuff, Battle did what Brown and Brinkley couldnt do (gain yards) could have a role even after Mathews returns as the bruiser

[tmr8188]

Brandon Lafell should be one if he isn't already rostered.

[RaiderHater's Revenge]

Brandon Lafell should be one if he isn't already rostered.

I just went down the free agents in my 3 leagues, Lafell was drafted in all 3 of mine, but I agree add him if hes there, right behind Amendola

Edelman played 65 snaps today as well
Roberts scored another TD

[dreen626]

M.Bennett

[Matt Mueller]

'Dennis Pitta, if you didnt add him this week out of skepticism, now is the time. Hes the Gronk in the Ravens system'

While he doesn't fit either profile he's more Hernandez. Dickson is the bigger inline blocking TE.

I wasnt comparing him to Gronk or Hernandez, I was saying in the offense they run, hes the go TE which is the same role Gronk plays

Brandon Myers, TE Oakland Raiders

Week #1 5-65
Week #2 8-86

TDs will come

[PATSSOX]

I hope Bradshaw is out for awhile cause i have #1 waiver in one league and both Wilson and Brown are available. Brown looks to be the one to get especially with short week.

from CBS

Giants running back Andre Brown came off the bench Week 2 against the Bucs to replace an injured Ahmad Bradshaw, who suffered a neck injury in the second quarter, and had a helping hand in a 41-34 comeback win. Brown ended up with the game-winning score, a two-yard run with 31 seconds left. He also had a two-point conversion that tied the game at 27 in the fourth quarter. Brown averaged 5.5 yards per carry, as he finished with a team-high 13 carries for 71 yards. His longest rush went 23 yards. He also had two catches for 19 yards.

Fantasy Analysis

You know the UPS slogan: "What can Brown do for you?" Well, the question was answered Sunday for the Giants. Everyone figured New York would have turned to first-round pick David Wilson in the event of a Bradshaw injury, but Wilson has struggled in his first few games in the NFL. He will likely slide down to being the third-string running back now after Brown's outstanding performance Sunday. Even if Bradshaw is healthy Thursday against the Panthers, Brown just become an excellent handcuff Fantasy option for the oft-injured Bradshaw. If Bradshaw can't make the short turnaround, then Brown could be a sleeper Fantasy start Week 3.

Brandon Myers, TE Oakland Raiders

Week #1 5-65
Week #2 8-86

TDs will come

Thinking of dropping Olsen for this guy.

[idlewild]

Daryl Richardson = Sideshow Bob:

[FUBARED AGAIN]

Amendola is on our wire but won't be for long. I have him in another money league and
played him yesterday and I will be grabbing him for my main league. Colston may start
riding the pine.

[LSUtiger]

Pitta v. Martellus Bennett - who's the better add going forward?

Pitta seems like a more 50 yard no TD guy every week. Bennett seems to be more TD heavy...

[bc91]

I will be putting in waivers for these guys in different leagues

RB:
1) Leshore
2) A. Brown- if Bradshaw injury is serious enough
3) Richardson- if SJAX injury is serious enough

WR:
1) Lafell
2) Hawkins

TE:
1) Bennett
2) Pitta

Hope I get a couple of them!!!

Obviously Amendola if he is there but he is owned in all my league PPR

[PATSSOX]

Is Andre Brown worth using #1 waiver on?

CBS:

With Ahmad Bradshaw's status in question due to a neck injury, running back Andre Brown could be in line to earn his first career start in Week 3 against the Panthers. Brown replaced Bradshaw in New York's 41-34 comeback win over the Buccaneers last Sunday and ended up scoring the game-winning touchdown on a 2-yard run in the fourth quarter. He also had a two-point conversion that tied the game at 27 in the fourth quarter and finished with a team-high 13 carries for 71 yards. The Panthers have allowed an average of 146.5 rushing yards through two games this season.

Fantasy Analysis
Brown finally got as shot to show what he could when given a chance and his Week 2-perforance seems to have vaulted him up the depth chart. First-round pick David Wilson appears to be in coach Tom Coughlin's doghouse, which would leave Brown has New York's starter if Bradshaw is unable to play Thursday night. Even if Bradshaw is able to suit up, Brown now looks like an excellent handcuff option and could still see some carries in what looks to be a very favorable Week 3 matchup. Carolina has struggled to defend the run this year and have yielded an average of 27.7 Fantasy points to opposing RBs on the year. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on Bradshaw's status moving forward. He could end being a nice sleeper option in Week 3.

Ahmad Bradshaw (neck) missed Giants practice on Monday.
It was a walkthrough practice the day after a game. Bradshaw's status for Week 3 is no clearer after this news. The Giants play on Thursday Night Football. Sep 17 - 6:23 PM

What about guys like Brandon Gibson and Donnie Avery for deeper leagues?

Avery is doing well without Austin Collie in the picture. Does that continue?

Gibson has been steady with scores in 2 straight weeks. He is not getting the number of targets that Amendola is getting, but he is getting the looks for scores.

For those looking to handcuff Ryan Mathews, it is safe to say that Ronnie Brown is not the answer. Jackie Battle, anyone?

[RaiderHater's Revenge]

I submitted my claims, with Jered Cook as my TE, I had to go Celek first, then I went Brown, Avery, Hartline, I have the first claim, but my backs are solid with Mathews back this week. I may add Battle after the waivers clear as my handcuff.

[gcmmidwest]

drop sidney rice for jerome simpson?

[Busted by the Feds]

The only ones available I'd drop someone on my team for are Gresham and Celek . Our league uses W/R/T flex so TE are in play every week .

[Captain Caveman]

I'm intrigued by Donnie Avery. Lots of targets. A team that will let Luck pass a lot. The only speedy guy on IND. Week 1 he got a TD and week 2 over 100 yards. Fleener got a lot of targets in week 1 but very few in week 2. I think Luck will realize that a shifty vet WR working the middle can be his go-to guy - especially while Wayne is covered by opposing CB1s.

And again, lots of potential targets unlike the Phins that will be a run heavy offense which limits Brian Hartline's value.

Anyone else buying Donnie Avery?

[snatchem]

I am adding Jerome Simpson... no one is thinking of him and he looked great in preseason

[GreatGray]

Anyone else buying Donnie Avery?

Yeah, I'm with you. Avery is looking like a nice sleeper pick, still under the radar enough that I'm hoping I can wake up early and add him after waivers process. Most of the other top picks above are taken in my league; I'm using my #2 waiver claim on Pitta or Brown, in that order.

[goodnight]
