2016-2017 waiver wire thread - Page 8 - Fantasy Sports -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Both are meh, imo. Slightly prioritize Whittaker if it's not a FAAB league. But still a decent chance CAP becomes their leader in carries (despite what we saw in week 2). Feel like this is going to be a week where folks overspend on these backups. Still need to put out some kind of bid (~7% FFAB) on them if you need help at RB, but I'm not sweating it if I get neither.

I may be in the minority, but I see nothing outside of a Benjamin type guy worth a #1 this week. Do you guys?

TE help:

Anyone dropping Fleener yet? I can pick up tamme, McDonald, walford (order of WW priority)

Another league is it smart to drop written and get pitta?

Both leagues I have Antonio Gates as well.

I feel similarly - not gonna use any YPL waiver (or non-FAAB) claims - hopefully this is a good opportunity for my teams to move up the waiver priority ladder.

I think that dropping Witten is fine given that you have Gates. You can drop Pitta easily if necessary for byes or if he sucks.

what do I know but I think Amendola is a sneaky pickup. Had a great game last week before G. went down. He's a good short yardage receiver for Brissett to toss it to, then Brady comes back in week 5.

Any situation in which Greg Salas would be a good pickup? Not exactly blessed at the WR position this year but not struggling either.

Thoughts on Dwayne Washington in DET? I don't see them using Riddick for anything but passing downs, don't think he is built for everydown back. So I think Washington will see the bulk of the carries. Actually leaning towards him more than anyone else mentioned

Just put in a bid on him. Also, I have Foster and Ajayi. Is it just smart to pick up Drake? I just feel its a waste to have 3 RBs from the same team. I am really weak at RB. Only have Freeman, Blount, Foster, Ajayi.

Unfortunetly that is not an option for me...I'll probably put in a small bid on Drake, but not happy about it. I mean Foster may still play and Ajayi isn't hurt, so it's not a must have yet

Picked up Tyrell in a couple leagues. Need to drop someone for a kicker.

YPL (3wr/2rb):
Palmer
Ingram/Murray/T Coleman/Riddick
AB/Jeffery/Maclin/Tate/Floyd/Hurns/Tyrell
Witten/Ebron

2rb/2wr/flex standard:
Flacco/Brady
Hyde/Charles/McKinnon/Artis-Payne/Ajayi
Julio/Jordy/Decker/Diggs/Tyrell
Ebron

Wel if Gronk plays tomorrow then problem solved. If not I'd still prob just drop Allen and try to make a trade, then make the decision on who to drop for a TE on Sunday if necessary when you have more Moncrief info.

Phillip Dorsett turned into a must own for next 4-6 weeks right?

have ajayi and Whittaker, both of which seem to not be starting today. Kenyon Drake getting the official start in MIA and Artis-Payne in Carolina. i guess im not too high on any of these guys but should i be swapping?
