I ended up using a high waiver position for Jordan Cameron (had Sudfeld) - I assume this is a fine move, considering I was drawing dead at TE and Cameron might have a monster year.

May be overkill. I would look at the owners who don't have Graham/Witten/Gonzo/VD/ maybe even cook and Cameron now, and gague how active/aggressive they will be.

Just went for %50 in one nod my leagues tho.

Julius Thomas just went at 70% (175/250), and I got Edelman at 44% (111). Seven teams bid on Thomas. We allow zero bids though, so blowing through faab money is pretty standard.

Had someone bid 40% for him in my league. I'll probably do the same thing too, if a player I like pops up in the next few weeks. Mind as well blow your load early, it's no different than using the #1 waiver early and being stuck at the back of the line.

i would assume it means you HAVE to use some percentage of your waiver budget, you can't just say i'll have him and if nobody else wants him he's yours for free

you cant bid 0 and win a player. so if you run out of budget, then you cant add a player.

Same Yahoo Pro league someone dropped Michael Floyd and TY Hilton. My waiver is #4. Anyone use it on either? My WR 4-6 are Britt, Givens, and Vincent Brown.

I'd wait for Floyd to clear waivers and then drop Britt or Givens for him. I'm high on him this year, I think he'll put up something like 1000 and 7 tds.

so in a 16 team league where Vereen is my #2 RB (poor planning) and Amendola is my #2 WR. Currently starting Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd at WR (Josh Gordon out), which is okay for a temporary situation, I guess.

However, I have Roy Helu in as my #2 back, and as high as I am on him, I'm not convinced he'll get that much action just yet. Anyone drop Kendall Hunter, Brandon Bolden, Shane Vereen for Da'Rel Scott?

Isn't really anyone else on the ww.

Dropped to waivers in a YPL:

Jennings
Ivory
Givens
V. Brown
Britt

My team:
QB - Peyton
RB - Lynch, SJax, Sproles, Ingram
WR - Marshall, Smiff, James Jones, Shorts, Michael Floyd, Gordon
TE - Gronk, Julius

Fine to drop Ingram, but then I'm left with 3 RBs. I love Givens/V. Brown and feel like Jennings/Ivory should be owned. Any thoughts?

Not too concerned with having 3 RBs because I'm shopping Julius in the hopes that he can be packaged well. Also, Lynch/SJax just relatively aren't injury concerns.

I'm pretty thin at RB in a 12-team PPR league that starts 2 RBs and 2 W/R/T. I've got Reggie Bush, Jamaal Charles, Montee Ball, Christine Michael and Knile Davis. LeVeon Bell was just dropped in my league. I want to cut loose Heyward-Bey for him (other WRs on my roster are Cobb, VJax, DJax, J Gordon, Marlon Brown) and hope that he does well when he returns. Thoughts on putting in a small bid? I've got $97 in FAAB.

10 tm standard league ( NO PPR) , QB RB RB WR WR flex TE k D ( flex is WR / RB )

My team

QB- cam newton
RB- doug Martin , Steven Jackson , Reggie bush , lamar miller ( had vereen also but dropped him)
WR- Brandon Marshall , Pierre garçon , Dwayne Bowe , mike Williams , Kenny britt, josh Gordon , Chris givens, Percy harvin
TE- Greg Olsen
D- ( matchups) only one on roster at a time
K- Blair Walsh

Questions: someone dropped Cecil shorts, henne looks like he's gonna have a shot to grab the starting job. I have the #5 waiver wire spot , should I claim him? This league is pretty oblivious so I could see him clearing waivers and I kinda want to not claim him and wake up At 5 am to see if he's there. It's a move to last after claim type league and my plan was to keep moving up the line for when that huge talent pops up or some idiot drops someone even more important like a decent running back.

Also jouqi bell and bernard pierce are free agents, should I be dropping anyone for either of these guys ... In PPR I would for bell but not certain about standard.
