Someone dropped Duke Johnson in my PPR keeper. I have #3 priority. Using it guarantees I enter next week's waivers at #12. Still use it?

I really need a wr I got Terrence west on waivers today but Jones and moncrief got snatched. Does anyone have any recommendations for a sneaky potential boom wr I can take a flyer on ? My team got auto drafted and I got Torrey smith Andre Johnson DeSean Jackson and now Terrence west and well they all suck so I'd love to gamble on someone who sitting on waivers right now. Any input is appreciated gentlemen.

^ see above. Dorial Green-Beckham seems to be a sneaky stash.

Maybe Ted Ginn. Got a team high in targets.

10 Team ESPN nonPPR start 2xRB 2xWR 1xFlex
QB: Eli, Bradford
RB: Lamar Miller, Gore, Doug Martin, Tevin Coleman, Arian Foster, Joique Bell
WR: Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, Roddy White, Eddie Royal
TE: Kelce

Would you drop a RB to pick up Alfred Blue for this week and as a handcuff for Arian?
Would you pick up Marriota, Carson Palmer, Alex Smith, Dalton, Foles, or Tyrod for one of my QBs?

I think the answer to both is no, but i'm just checking

Cam Newton dropped in a league, my QB is Wilson and Stafford on bench, 4 pt passing, 6 rushing for TD's. Should I bother grabbing him?

And while I don't think Moncrief is some superstar talent, I think he's going to get a lot of targets if Hilton is out and Andre Johnson really has lost it, and he has Luck throwing to him, so all around that's good for his fantasy prospects. He's more familiar with the offense at this point than Phillip Dorsett is, and I expect he will get more snaps than Dorsett.
TY is only out like 3 weeks. Moncrief could easily lose targets to Johnson and Dorsett as Luck builds rapport with them. Fleener also could be a factor. Moncrief just isn't good IMO, I remember the hubbub last year over him that amounted to exactly zero after he had like one good week. Someone spent $39 on a $100 budget in my league on him and I'm more than happy to let someone else blow their wad on him.

And WR has one of the steepest learning curves? Idk about that.

I think 3 weeks is the max expected for TY. Still questionable, so could be day to day next week.

So someone dropped doug martin in my league. it's 0ppr, 1 pt per 10 return yards. Should i drop anyone for him?

Peterson, Forsett, Latavius, Abdullah, Spiller
OBJ, Landry, Adams, Lockett, Ginn.

obv lockett/ginn are huge because of return yards. Spiller may or may not be returning kicks for NO once he's healthy. if so, he's huge here too.

Johnson is 34 years old. I'm not buying that he's going to improve as the season goes on. Given the steep drop in production he had last year, I was initially willing to buy that it was due to poor QB play more than age-related decline, but after week 1 I'm starting to re-think that. I think Moncrief will begin taking targets that were initially planned for Johnson, and that will increase as the year goes on.

Again, you're using examples of Moncrief's performance from last year. I obviously think Moncrief is going to perform better this year.

Fleener isn't good and I don't think Dorsett will be ready for a large role soon enough. I expect his role to increase as the year goes on, but still mostly be that of a deep threat.

Again: I don't think Moncrief is great individually, but I think he has enough talent that in a high volume passing offense with a QB as good as Luck, he's a fine fantasy asset.

That's true, you don't.

I have like three Hillmans now. And CJ has the Q tag.

I think if CJ plays, it means that Denver doesn't really think he is much better than Hillman. They would be risking him on a short week with a toe and ankle ouchie. If he does play, i.e. they don't protect his foot/ankle injury, it could linger/worsen.

If he doesn't play, I can probably start Hillman this week.

(would have to bench the likes of Doug Martin or Alfred Morris to do it, so close call)

I have Palmer in the same tier as Bradford and Eli. So I'd say better than Stafford, but it's close.

Wow the panic sell on Peyton is amazing.

The best part is that this is a short week, they have a banged up RB, KC is pretty good, I am drooling at the prospect of picking up more DTs and ESanders and Peytons next week.

DT is worth more than AJ Green, IMO.

That being said, tonight's game won't be great for Denver's offense

PRO TIP:
in order to keep THAT guy from swooping up every single decent unclaimed FA right at the stroke of midnight, whenever you make a waiver claim, make sure you also put in a claim for ALL the players you might want, and just choose to drop the same player as your real claim. Because Yahoo locks all players that have a claim, even if the claim is denied due to a higher priority bid.
Really fun move, especially if Late Tuesday Night FA Grabber Guy is a big douchebag.
Does this apply to Yahoo? If so, is it midnight eastern or pacific?
