5Year1 23 Posted September 21, 2013 An owner dropped Tavon Austin on Tuesday for Knowshon Moreno. A bit surprising as the guy has McFadden, Lynch, Martin (why does he need another RB?) and THREE TEs including Jimmy Graham( why didn't he cut a TE?). Anyway, I got Austin today, cutting Jared Cook because I have Julius Thomas. If Austin takes off, I've gotten a steal. Christmas in September. Anybody else get a waiver steal from someone else's drop this week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobbyn2022 53 Posted September 21, 2013 Cook > Thomas IMO and Austin is gonna be a stud but asking for more then 800 yards and 5 TDs is asking a ton for a rookie. Yes I know he already has 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,653 Posted September 21, 2013 merry christmas? sounds to me the owner who dropped him may be more savy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montana 89 Posted September 21, 2013 Depending on my WRs, yeah. I'd drop Austin to get Moreno too. Not shocking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busted by the Feds 9 Posted September 21, 2013 I'm just playing " who'll pull the trigger first ? " on Harvin with the other owners . He's sitting, tantalizingly, as a free agent . I might pick him up once the bye weeks start, to stash him for the playoffs ( if I make it ) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5Year1 23 Posted September 21, 2013 Cook > Thomas IMO and Austin is gonna be a stud but asking for more then 800 yards and 5 TDs is asking a ton for a rookie. Yes I know he already has 2. Hey Bobby, we'll see about Cook vs Thomas. On Austin, I don't really NEED him to become a starter right away. I have Cobb and Garcon. But lets say he does take off. He could be spotted in for Garcon later on or I could trade him to fill a weakness at RB to someone who needs a WR. This has come up on my team with Bush hurt and MJD underproducing and being hurt also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5Year1 23 Posted September 21, 2013 I picked up Steven Jackson this week and Josh Gordon/Jordan Cameron/Bernard Pierce last week off the WW. Really good! S Jax won't out for too long. Others are solid pick ups too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p.man 7 Posted September 21, 2013 Tavon was dropped in my league too. I am going to pick him up. I also have J.Cook starting over Finley. This is the second time in 3 weeks that he is predicted to have a solid day..100 and 1. If Cook disappears from the offense again, I will cut bait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Einstein's Dog 20 Posted September 22, 2013 seems to be a serious rift in FF over the pay league thing... does paying for a spot then turn you into some elitest... or is the person already an elitist and they choose money leagues only? The problem is that some of the moves that are being reported would not happen in 99% of the leagues people here are accustomed to. Most of us that come to this forum would not expect the likes of E Lacy or S Jackson to be dropped. Discussions about them as waiver wire pickups seem silly. It derails the thread.

It derails the thread.those sound like hallmarks of a snobatorium not a "discussion" forum outside this silly thread as you call it... there are threads from guys who claim that they have less than ten pts from their TE in three weeks, I'm pushing 20 at the half this week alone... someone locking up for Brandon boldin as a bench stash, career he has 2 NFL rushes... several looking for direction on A Bradshaw, who nobody liked when he was an actual starter and now is valueless and not even worth the threads we started on him... and other trial balloon threads about reaching or starting R Rice, benching Tom Brady, I can't find Charles clay in the RB projections.... so big deal, do I roll up on the clay thread and drop a bunch of elitist attitude because of some typo somewhere? doesn't 99% of the board, all uber FF Jedi, clearly know he is the only TE there since Dustin Keller was lost in pre season for the year? if the board is suffering lately due to its usership, it might help to consider new users or certain threads are not the root cause. guys with a stick up their ass are usually more of an issue, those that feel their best contribution is to drive by and lob insults and attitudes like they own the place tends to drive off all users, usually in three posts or less.

Instead of whining about it try to prove 'em wrong. agree, wasn't posting this to whine, just shedding light on the real issue... I'm a dolphins fan, thick skin comes with this territory. they are getting abused by the ATL... Daniel Thomas worst blocking back I've seen in a while.. Nolan Carroll, is his middle name sieve?... and the play calling, I swear I recall some big FA signing for a receiver, but I can't find him and I guess neither can the fish. anyways this place seems cool to me, I'm not the type to let a little butthurt wreck the party, you can bash me all you want, I'm not going to flip out and start googling you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
