[cmh6476]

With a plethora of injuries this past week, any waiver wire adds you are targeting?

I'm in deep leagues. Malik Washington will be a huge wire addition with Tyreek gone. 

[Lake209]

Don’t forget Darren Waller….mmmmm, good.

Only 4 targets tonight, but role could expand now

[Lake209]

Christian Watson. Dunno about W5, but his return is worth monitoring @ decent bench-stash.

[Da_Bears]

Wait until Wednesday, Sam La”Pukefest”Porta will be available.

Yeah, that's who I'm going to add and put on IR. 

[rotisserieking]

Heard some chatter this morning on XM87 about Isaiah Davis if Braelon is hurt. Would imagine only 12 team or more leagues.

Kenneth Gainwell, but could be fool's gold, who knows. They have a bye but man he looked explosive.

Darius Slayton (just threw up in my mouth) possibly with Nabers gone.

[cavern]

who is the better add between malik washington and christian watson?

[weepaws]

Washington, Watson is good two three games, and back to IR. 

[GobbleDog]

Rachaad White is worth considering given the uncertainty with Bucky. There's a chance he gets the start next week. 

[GobbleDog]

There's some scuttlebutt of Kamara getting traded over the next few weeks.  Kendre Miller would suddenly own that backfield. Might be worth a bench spot if ya got room. 

[weepaws]

Looks Miller might be out of the coaches dog house, his coached called him out during the offseason. 

I have Kamara on one team, I’ll be interested in him being traded.

Unless he gets traded to the Eagles (like Bigsby).

Oh, there are a few more teams that I think he can go to and it be positive. Heck, KC would be good fit for his skill set.  

[Chickie]

Oronde Gadsen a decent target for bye week TE’s Kraft and Pitts? Facing Washington’s 26th ranked defense v TE’s? He’s basically free.

[Bills04]

I usually do a similar thread.  So, I'll just post here.  At WR - I noticed with Worthy back, KC WR4 T. Thornton is no longer a starter.  Planning to drop him for: 2) NYG WR2 D. Slayton (no Nabers), or 1) DAL WR2 J. Tolbert (no Ceedee).  At TE - I liked MIA TE D. Waller over the summer.  He didn't disappoint in his first game action.  AND NOW - no WR1 T. Hill.  To pick him up, I'd need to drop CLE TE2 H. Fannin.  Oh - and, at RB - might grab NO RB2 K. Miller, as he looked good last week.  I'd need to drop JAX RB2 B. Tuten to get him, though - or, my TE2 CLE TE2 H. Fannin.

 

Thoughts on the above?  Other WRs also available: TEN Ayomanor, CLE Bond, MIA Washington, and GB Doubs (BYE week, tho).

White sucks though... if he starts.. i doubt he's even worth a roster spot

Always dump the second te.  

[rotisserieking]

Now adding: Rachaad White and Demarcado to the list of guys to get. Demarcado has the best opportunity this week vs the Titans.

[purplengold47]

Pearsall, Jennings, Purdy out. Fire away Mac jones and Tonges

[weepaws]

Isn’t M Jones going through an injury issue.

Would be interesting to get a snap count progression for kc over 4 weeks, because "starter" doesn't really mean much to me.

He's a really good cuff right now if you own Kamara 

[Ray_T]

I actually grabbed him in a league this week.   I have 2 RB on bye and Mixon/warren hurt.

so hes a short fill in but given the age of Kamara, I dont think hes a bad hold if you actually have the roster space

[rotisserieking]

If Juwan Johnson is out Sunday I might actually make a dart throw at Waller. Panthers give up 4th most PPG to the TE. Waller caught 3 of 4 Monday. Weeks 1-3 the Dolphins TE receptions totaled 5. Tua might check down to Waller and Achane a lot.

[Lake209]

Tyjae Spears, a decent stash.

[RareN64Dream]

Brandon Aiyuk and Jayden Reed might be decent stash players to add to a bench. I think, Aiyuk is due back sooner than Reed though.

Michael Carter 

Sean Tucker

How would y'all rank these Waiver Rb's ROS? (.5ppr) Michael Carter, K. Gainwell, B Smith (kc), and B. Tuten

For this week (W5), if JWarren is out:  Gainwell, Carter, BSmith, BTuten.

ROS: As bench-stashes in case of injury Warren/Etienne/Pacheco/Demercado&Benson - the #1 would fall between Gainwell & Tuten…probably Gainwell 1a & Tuten 1b…but it’s close.  BSmith 3rd. Carter 4th.

[weepaws]

Gainwell 

Tuten

Carter. 

 

 

Smith. 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Carter. I’d try to trade for Warren & JCM.
