Waiver Opinion - D.Johnson

[mccmw 13]

Current team in 1 league:

QB: Hurts, Prescott

RB: Cook, Chubb, Foreman, B. Robinson, G. Edwards (and have Mitchell and Patterson in IR spots...due to come back soon)

WR: A. Brown, Evans, Lockett, Hopkins

TE: Hill, Higbee

I'd like to give myself a little bit of Bye Week (or injury) flexibility at WR.  Diontae Johnson hasn't done much this year (Steelers offense and QB the likely main issues), but might get a few more looks with Claypool gone. Available for now.  I'm going to have to drop B Rob or Edwards anyways for when Patterson comes back...and not sure if the other will go with Mitchell coming back...although he too might not be worth a spot due to CMC.  Higbee always gets rated high in TE rankings but I'm not confident about ever using him either.  Thoughts on staying with who I got (although opinion on who to drop when IR RBs come back is also welcome) or dropping one for Johnson as a speculative add?

I would drop Higbee for DJ.

I agree. Taysom Hill as a TE is always risky, but his upside is worth it. I drafted Waller....... OUCH

Dropped him after week 5 & picked up Hill. Used him the last 3 weeks and while he hasn't been spectacular, for a TE, I certainly can't complain. 

For the exact reasons you mentioned, (a little bit of Bye Week (or injury) flexibility at WR) I think DJ would be a smart pick up.

Done...and depending on RB health...I'll likely drop Mitchell, Edwards, or Robinson when I need to to make room for Patterson coming back.  I went with Hill for teh same reason you did.  Unless you have Kelce, Andrews, Kittle, or Goedert...TE predictions are hard.

Ppr league I would let Robinson go, looks like Gibson isn’t going away.
