Week 2 Waiver Wire

[Smack]

WR - Randall Cobb

WR - Kevin Ogletree

WR/RB - Dexter McCluster

WR Alshon Jeffery

RB Alfred Morris - ugh, I hate Redskins running backs.

RB Rashard Mendenhall - if not owned, looks like he could be back sooner than expected.

RB CJ Spiller - actually got dropped on Sunday morning in my Yahoo league so he'll probably be the top claim.

TE Coby Fleener

As a Fred Jackson owner, I was really hoping Spiller was a FA. Times like this I wish we did weekly waivers. Some prick grabbed him.

 

Second straight year starting RB goes down right away -- last year it was Charles and Hillis.

I have Jackson too. Spiller is a FA, but I have the 8th spot on waivers. Hopefully I can scoup him up, but I doubt it. Mendenhall or Pierre Thomas are my next best bets and I'd probably claim Mendenhall before Pierre. Reggie Bush and Ahmad Bradshaw are my bench RB (McFadden, Murray, and Jackson were my starters this week) so if I can't get Spiller it's not that big of a deal as Brahsaw or Bush should produce close to whatever Spiller offers if I play the right matchups with those two.

I think Cobb has the best long-term prognosis of that group. I would say Fleener, but he's a TE and I really don't value the position. It's likely you already have a better option anyway. I was really intrigued by the fact the Packers seemed to use Cobb basically like he was a 3rd down RB. Lined up and caught a lot of passes out of the backfield.

[DivineBovine]

I already have Cobb and Fleener in my 12 team league so I'm biased. I like them both. But beware of an Aaron Rodgers target outside of maybe Jennings. Fleener looked good and has a lot of potential if you need a TE.

 

I wish I drafted Spiller. He went very late in out draft after I already had 4 rbs. I was ready to take him though but the person right before me grabbed him. He has demarco Murray breakout potential. Even when Jackson comes back he could end up like Felix Jones last year. Obviously the pick up of the week.

 

I hate Ogletree as a pickup. Wouldn't waste waiver position on him. Austin Dez and Witten will see more passes and probably even a RB. There probably isn't any passing offense that can sustain 4 viable fantasy receiving options. If there is, Dallas certainly isn't one of them.

Never play in a league without weekly waivers. My girlfriend's league is a joke, I go to Bears games and when I get home she bitches about how all her friends' boyfriends picked people up during the Sunday games.

 

My league is monthly add/drop drafts, it's awesome.

Your GF's league sounds like it blows. You can pick up guys Tuesday-Thursday until like 5 ET (for Thursday games), then Friday at noon-Sun at game time in my league with standard waiver rules

We have $100 allotment to go towards waiver pickups that you have to place by Tuesday. Wednesday is when you find out if you get the guys or not and the rest of the week is free pickups until the player has started their game, unless you decide you need to place money on someone that had just been dropped. Two day waiver clearance for those guys.

Not sure why Stephen Hill isn't on this list. I feel better about him than Ogletree.

I was happy getting Andrew Hawkins and TJ Graham this week in my 14-team league. Considering Khalil Bell now too.
