Jameson Williams was dropped in a yahoo .5ppr league for Van Jefferson. I'm considering adding him, but my only real drop option is JuJu. Yes or no to add J Williams (Detroit WR) for JuJu?

His upside is obviously much higher than JuJu but do you have the depth to be without a WR for a minimum of 6 games? Add to that the dude has 1 career catch and struggled to get in sync with Goff all thru camp.....I would give this move a tepid endorsement as long as you have room on the bench

I was planning on not drafting kelce in the first, but he ended up getting drafted 6th overall last night to the guy whose ROI in this league is >110% (best in the league).

its .5PP%, 10 teamer keeper, qb/2rb/2wr/te/2flex

lamar, kyler
saquaon, pollard, etienne, mckinnon, d harris, allgreier
diggs, deebo, DJ moore, london, gabe davis, bateman
hockenson

I like my squad. FYI - pollard, etienne & deebo were keepers in the 6, 8 & 10th rounds. I was between saquon & diggs at 7 and went saquon and somehow diggs made it ack to me at 14. Henry, davante, JAWSH & CD lamb all were drafted between my picks + 2 keepers.

That’s a real nice squad. I don’t see any pieces I dislike in a vacuum. I would have taken Diggs and CD over Saquon, but it sounds like it worked out.

I think it’s likely you can find better waiver options than either Jamo or Juju. Just brutal to have to use a bench spot for 6 weeks on a suspended guy. And like Bosco said, it’s not like Jamo has shown us anything yet.

As soon as waivers come up on Tuesday, you’ll probably want to drop Jamo for someone, anyways. I’d go ahead and anticipate some guys who might increase value this weekend. Mainly rookies and guys with uncertain roles right now.

I think we just need to cut bait on him especially in redraft. He's just another 1st RD bust. Happens every year . Is what it is

Are you a Packer fan watching the games? I'm not at all but would appreciate the insight. I'm just going by that he had some decent camp hype last year and didn't completely faceplant when he got his opps (only looking at box scores) as a 5th rounder or whatever he was. Not thinking he's going to be some breakout but maybe a middling WR3 that can be used in a pinch during bye weeks.

Is that Elijah Moore? Really Pittman is better than all those guys on the wire even given his situation and Gabe is the perfect guy to yolo when you have to and hope he has a 3/120/2 random game.
For the record I'm Slayton>Hodgins

Bust seems a little harsh.

Dude has touched the ball 3 times in game situations for a 41yard TD, 65yard TD (nullified by holding) and a 40 yard rush. Lions basically red-shirted him last year as he didnt even see the field until December.

His list of crimes:

Tearing his ACL in the 2022 National Championship game
Logging into his FanDuel account from the team hotel

I could go with 1 QB, but I'm not 100% confident in Jones and there isn't much out there on the waiver wire currently. Some guys were taking their 2nd qb before I had 1.

With how competitive FF is these days, missing out on early WW players to hold an unknown doesn't seem great unless your stacked. (I say this as a Toney owner in multiple leagues so what do I know?)

Agree - and as a Lions fan it may be a bit of wishful thinking on my part but nobody wants to cut Tyreek Hill when he only catches 4 out of 10 targets, all they see is 4-180-2

That's the kind of upside I would want to stash - JuJu is a stiff in a bad offense with a bum knee, he's not gonna get any better than what we have already seen.

****ing Christian Watson is made of glass. Another missed practice, which means he's likely not playing. I'm glad I only have him on 1/8 teams. But on that 1 team, I was planning to start him.

Doubs was back at practice.

I'm holding Jameson Williams even though I can't insert him into my IR. It's difficult to find any good free agent WR in leagues where you must start 3 and the benches are deep. He'll be out there when it's time and I want shares of Detroit.

Actually, what do you guys consider deep bench? I think 7 or more. This league is 6 so mid-range. But I'll hold Williams as long as I can.

I agree with 7 or more being deep, but if he’s the best upside guy compared to what’s on the wire, might as well hold. At least his suspension is at the beginning when most guys are healthy and byes don’t start until week 5.

On the other side, LaPorta, Gibbs, and ARSB looking pretty good.

Monty getting the touches, but none of them high value yet. I'd like to see him get a 2-4 targets a game.

I'm interested to see what adjustments the Lions make here.

Goff looks so bad that I think LaPorta has real top 10 equity. The second Goff throws beyond 8 yards it's a disaster.

Impressive that Skyy is tied with MVS for the most snaps so far at 22 and has zero targets. Rice with 13 snaps. Toney with only 9. Toney is a part-time player you just can't start in managed leagues.
