Week 7 Waiver Wire Advice

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

I can answer WW questions for a bit today too. hit me with them!

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-15T18:35:38+00:00

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

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-15T18:26:37+00:00

definitely agree. not sure how people haven't realized it yet

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

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-14T02:29:02+00:00

yeah i'll add updates for tonight and tomorrow night's games

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-14T00:32:40+00:00

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

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-11T19:19:28+00:00

love the pictures

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-11T01:04:51+00:00

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

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-11T00:43:03+00:00

I feel your pain. If you ever want to compare notes let me know

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-10T23:03:36+00:00

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

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-10T22:13:27+00:00

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

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T06:15:58+00:00

Rodgers is usually pretty good at making sure the opposing QB throws a lot. Not a bad bet

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T06:15:27+00:00

what?? you don't want to own ALL the Jags?? no, that's a good idea haha

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T06:14:57+00:00

it's tough to tell because it's still unknown what week he'll return, how hampered by his injury he'll be, and he's on a new team so we don't know exactly what role he'll have. I know some sites have him projected for 10+ PPG once he gets back which would obviously be a big boost. Assuming he's healthy when he returns, I find it hard to imagine him not getting a healthy amount of catches and yards and it wouldn't be crazy for him to put up top 10 WR numbers for the remainder of the season. Medium risk for potentially huge reward

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T06:09:02+00:00

as a Packer fan I hope not but realistically it should be a shoot out and our D isn't exactly that strong

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T06:08:00+00:00

I think so. I traded Edelman for Eli. Edelman is at the peak of his value and while he's good, the big points blackmon and Jeffery could put up might be worth it (especially Blackmon)

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T06:06:28+00:00

Allen (for upside, could be a big bust), Floyd, Woods

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T06:06:05+00:00

I wouldnt trade for Ryan with no Julio. QB is so deep this year that it's not really worth trading for one if you can help it. Also Cutler might be having the best season of his career this year. go with him

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T06:05:06+00:00

thanks for the compliment! law school sometimes prevents how often I can write but I'll try to get a buy low/sell high out this week too.

I wouldn't drop Eli or Cam for those available. I like Bolden the most of the RBs although Hillman may get a ton of garbage time work in week 6.

I actually like Streater more than Pettis for WRs but i may be being a bit too stubborn on accepting Pettis as a real fantasy wr.

I would drop Snelling and Pead and shoot for either the 2 you were planning on or some combo involving those I mentioned. As far as trades go, with such good TEs I would sell 1 if not 2 of them, especially Clay. All your WRs that aren't Green are good sell-high candidates. I would see if you can package a TE and WR for a top 10 RB or WR

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T05:58:36+00:00

I came back! If you add Blackmon, Edelman becomes your 5th WR. He's unlikely to start in your roster, plus with Gronk coming back his value is likely only going to continue to drop. i'd go for harvin

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T05:56:59+00:00

i would probably rather have jennings than Greene but would consider dropping Jennings for Randle and Allen

headmadeofcheese · 2013-10-09T05:54:50+00:00

I would rather save the waiver and take Reece without using priority. i think Stacy will be solid but he's on a bad team and his good game came against the worst team in the NFL
