holt_bruce81 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Thought there should be a thread on top Waiver Wire pickups for the week... For week 5 it's looking like Aaron Jones might be a top priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarcerated_Scarface Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Do you really trust any GB RB behind that line tho? That's why I'm glad I wasn't high on Montgomery this year. I never bought the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisEagles Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Aaron Jones probably won't keep it up. If he clears waivers and you need help I would sign him, but I would save the waiver spot. Will Fuller, Mike Williams, Curtis Samuel, and Josh Doctson are the popular names I've seen thrown around. I picked up Fuller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up Fuller. Fuller is interesting because Watson likes slinging it downfield. Too much boom or bust for me for a team that likes to run the ball, but he could have a couple of deep catches a game Id stay away from all Carolina pass catchers until cam shows he's healthy, so no Samuel for me id keep an eye on Dotson. I drafted him in a deeper league but I dropped him early. With Pryor not clicking with cousins yet, I see opportunity for Dotson to carve out a role if he makes the most of his snaps on the field. He's the type of natural WR that qbs tend to look for once they have the trust. Not sure if he's available, but I snagged Mohammad Sanu this week. Hes got WR1 upside i picked up allison two weeks ago. You'd think he'd be the X or the Y (whatever Davonte Adams was) now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanu is gone in my league and it's a ten man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I picked him up in my 12 man league. Not sure why he was out there but I dropped Tyrell Williams for him and watch Williams go off this weekend lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle21121 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Let's bring this backup as waivers come in roughly 24 hours from now. JD (Seattle RB) or Jones from GB or someone else? Who would you want to add the most or who would you spend the most fAAB budget on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD (Seattle RB) or Jones from GB or someone else? Who would you want to add the most or who would you spend the most fAAB budget on? I would probably rank the waiver wire pickup this week as... 1. Alvin Kamara RB 2. Latavius Murray RB 3. Aaron Jones RB 4. Deshaun Watson QB 5. Geronimo Allison WR - I would definitely use some FAAB or the #1 waiver claim on the top 2 guys. But probably wouldn't use the #1 claim on the bottom 3 unless your in desperate need of a 2-3 week RB. I have the #2 waiver claim and I don't think I'll put in for anyone. Probably just role with Alex Collins as my flex this week, as Kamara and Tevin Coleman are both on Byes. Question for you all, without Sam Bradford, is Kyle Rudolph dropable? I have Engram as my starter and while he's not setting the world on fire, he's definitely been alot more consistent so far than Rudolph. I would drop Rudolph for the Patriots defense, Geronimo Allison or Josh Doctson. Not 100% sure yet, but all 3 seem like they'd have more value on my team. And the Patriots have a really nice week 6 match-up vs the Jets, and my Bengals D is on a bye that week. That's one thing I've noticed about fantasy, if you look not 1 week, but 2-3 weeks ahead, you can usually snag up some great defense matchups....for those that like to stream your defense.

That's why I'm glad I wasn't high on Montgomery this year. I never bought the hype. Well, now it looks like Montgomery might not miss time, so that's obviously a factor. For me, it's not the line that's the problem. It's just that the Packers offense revolves around Rodgers throwing the ball. Feeding a RB just isn't generally a part of their gameplan. Sometimes the starting RB will end up with a good game, but it's more a reflection of being a part of a high-powered offense than it is them intentionally running the ball. That said, I picked up Aaron Jones last Thursday in one of my leagues. I already have Montgomery on that team, and generally use him as my flex (3rd RB). I'm not expecting huge things from Jones even if he does replace Montgomery for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incarcerated_Scarface Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Maybe so but I never trusted him. I only drafted him in one league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been going on like 5 years now or something. Who was the last viable running back they had in fantasy...was it seriously Tiki? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
