2nd Half Heroes- Buy Lows, Trade Targets & Waiver Scooperuppers

[SaintsInDome2006 650]

Any thoughts on closing schedules for players to targets? Any changes in roles? Let’s collaborate!

And on that I’ll throw out Jefferson too, because IIRc he’s got 2 TDs all year & it’s from 2 games wuth JJM.

I'm keeping an eye on Jayden Reed's status. GB has a decent schedule remaining for WRs (19, 7, 24, 8, 3, 32, 3, 6) outside of weeks 12 (Min) and 15 (Den). I know it's a gamble picking any GB WR but he was playing well last year.

Still watching Bhayshul Tuten (he's been added and dropped twice) and Isaiah Davis.

If he gets off his butt, I think C Godwin.

if you're in a 2 qb league, Brissett, Flacco and Mariota will be serviceable.

Agreed . Flacco is already serviceable in a one Qb league.

Definitely serviceable for my Higgins!

Typically rookie and 2nd year RBs break out around this time. 

Treveon, Benson, RJ Harvey, Tuten, etc. 

The year 2 WRa are starting to hit as well. 

I love buying 2nd year talent who's disappointed or just hasn't played much. Always great value

I picked up RB- Henderson from Patriots and dropped Nick Chubb from Texans. Omarion Hampton is injured and Chase Brown is on a bye. I am in 2nd place and my other RB is Christian McCaffrey.

Parker Washington, I think the Meyers trade will take a bit of time to develop, and I see the trade mostly speaking to either the health or confidence in BTJ. It also seems like Washington and Lawrence are the only two on the team with any sort of chemistry.

I would think if the Patriots believe in Henderson at all, it would start to show by giving him more work.

I like him a lot, but still not practicing. I’m afraid this might just be a lost year for him

At 29 y/o I doubt he’s got much left in the tank and even if he comes back it won’t be fantasy worthy production.

I think, he will be back next week vs the Buffalo Bills. Seems like he is trying to come back from a painful injury. He is probably just waiting until he is fully healthy; to play at full speed.

when is Reed supposed to return to the lineup?   

after playing in week one and getting hurt,  they said hed be out 6 weeks.    At this point he has yet to return to the lineup.  if it doesnt happen soon, this could be a lost season for him.   dude still needs to get into game shape.

and for the record, I dont think he has EVER had WR of this calibre, so I do expect he will continue to produce against all but maybe one or two of the elite defenses.

and if the team continues to lose games after scoring 35+ points they may just shelve Burrow for the year.    No point bringing him back if the team isnt in contention for a playoff spot.  Might as well give him the time to fully heal.    and that Defense is Horrible.

[weepaws 3,342]

I agree, Bengals would making a mistake bringing Burrow back.
