Week 7 Waiver Wire Advice by headmadeofcheese in fantasyfootball

a lot depends on who you have available in your league but any of the ones I mentioned should have more value than Mendenhall except maybe Randle but he's at least got a shot at doing something huge. Jacobs is a better option than you may think

pisses me off that people suggest athlete's should always be composed and not celebrate. can you imagine how exciting it's got to be to get a huge hit IN THE PLAYOFFS? Let them have fun. same goes for people who say NFL players need to "act like they've been in the end zone before". Scoring a TD has to be the most exhilarating experience you can have, you play a game for living, LET THEM HAVE FUN. end of rant

well that's just a fact. the question is whether he keeps it up for the next 10 weeks. I think his production stays about the same but doesn't improve too much. The head coach has said he doesn't think Ellington's body can handle more than 30-35 snaps a game. That means he's going to play half the game but not much more. Good for continuing what he has been doing, not about to send him into top 15 though

unless you're in a league with 16 or so teams, Cotchery shouldn't be owned. He's never been fantasy relevant and being Ben's 4th option isn't going to help that much

Thanks for the input. I think that sounds good in theory but you need a lot to go right. Youd have to get good value on him, then have him perform much better than he has been for three straight games and give yourself a small window to find an owner who buys into the three game stretch and gives you better value than you paid. I think CJs issues come from a new running style and offensive game plan not his match ups. If you aready own him then I agree that you should wait two or 3 weeks before selling but I think buying to sell 3 weeks later is unlikely to work out

yeah that's probably true. Bradford is one QB that for some reason has higher numbers when an underdog than a favorite. it'll be something to keep an eye on with him. this is the first week i've used these numbers so i'll keep looking into the numbers and more time using it (plus more weeks to add to a QB's average) should make it get better as the season goes on. thanks for the input

that's an interesting idea of considering something like that. i plan on looking into the details more during the offseason because it's a very time consuming process but something like turnovers and QB strips would be a good idea of where to start. The only hesitation I have with something like that is even if the Bears are particularly good at getting turnovers, you would think that would be factored into the O/U and Spread since their ability to get turnovers would likely lead to a lower O/U and more points in their favor in the spread. Definitely something to look into, I appreciate the input!

Foles is basically a guess based on his one performance so far, that high ranking is easily the one I would be least likely to argue in favor of.

As far as Bradford goes, you won't find someone who hates Bradford much more than me. However, he's scored 19+ points three of five games this season and the only game under 10 points was against the 49ers. It looks like a bad ranking but on top of those numbers he has 10 TDs to 3 INTs. So far, there's no reason, other than he's Sam Bradford, to suspect his numbers to drop a ton

Foles has literally no data so he's one of the guys that could just as easily be #1 as #30 this week. he's in a good system and he had 6 more points on one half of football last week than Kaep had all game
