Waiver Wire Targets week 10 (1 Viewer)

[Weebs210]

Would only be a backup, but Murray is available at QB. Trade in Howell for him in redraft?

I might stick with Howell - he's putting up numbers and is throwing the ball a ton (I read 2nd in the NFL in passing attempts). Who knows how Murray will look being out so long, and he may not be running a lot off the bat after his ACL tear.

He also has the most drop backs in the league by 100+. Mahomes is second. Bad defense as well so honestly I like both. Very tough decision.

 

[Statorama]

I have Goedert on a BYE (plus he's dinged up) with Pitts as a backup (redraft league).
Is anyone dropping Pitts for either Otton or Engram - both currently on the wire - for a one week rental or even ROS?
Yes, Otton lit it up last week but otherwise Pitts arguably has a safer albeit paltry floor.
Engram had 7+ targets in 7 straight weeks including 10 in the game before the BYE - that can't be overlooked.

I don't own any shares of Pitts so it's easy for me to say drop him for those choices, so take it with a grain of salt, but I would drop him for either one of those players. One thing though, Pitts has name rec, so do a quick check with a team weak at TE and see if you can pull off a minor deal before just flat dropping him.

I don't know anything, but I might do that. Howell will be slinging it all year for Washington since 1) their defense isn't so hot, and 2) their offense generates a lot of yards but not so many points. Howell, with his drawbacks, is who they depend on each game. And if I remember correctly Murray wasn't all that great in his last few starts awhile ago.

Engram is on your wire? Pick him up immediately. He isn't just some bye week filler TE. He is TE3 in receptions and targets, but he isn't getting the recognition because he hasn't scored a TD yet. In fact, he is the only TE in the top 20 without a TD. Stop reading this and go grab him!

Grab Engram. No questions asked. If he's gone by the time you read this, Otton seems to be building a nice rapport with Baker the last 3 weeks.

Rondale Moore was good with Kyler last year, maybe worth a look in deeper leagues.

didn't consider this, took Wilson as the lottery there instead of Moore. if given the choice, which would everyone take between Wilson and Moore?

I chose Wilson but he's hurt. So who knows.

Wilson isn’t available in my league so it made my choice easy but it’s a toss up at this point. Wilson has shown flashes this year while Moore has been used as a gadget guy so far. New coach so it might be a different story with Moore in regards to getting a lot of looks from Murray this season.

 

[dickey moe]

Tyler Boyd....

Interesting if both Higgins and Chase are hurt, but he sure hasn't shown much this season. Last year he was a pretty solid WR3 (I think).

Moore has the better pedigree but they are different receivers. He is a slot guy who can be moved around for some gadget plays and has some speed to his game. Athletically Wilson doesn't wow me or anything.

Moore also has the benefit of an extra year in the offense.

I like him a little better and think Wilson is just more of a JAG. Someone has to eat though right?

Yeah my guess is Murray is going to boost one of these WRs values to relevancy, just have to wait and see. It also wouldn’t surprise me if McBride is the main beneficiary and the WRs besides Hollywood just get a slight bump.

Aaron Jones limited in practice this week.

Fire up the Emanuel Wilson hype train. Ripped off a 31 yarder right before the victory formation last week. Looked eerily similar to the 80 yarder he ripped off in preseason.

Up to 11 carries for 73 yards on the year.

Week 9 RB opportunities (carries + targets):

• Aaron Jones - 26
• A.J. Dillon - 10
• Emanuel Wilson - 4

Snap counts:

• Aaron Jones (RB): 57%
• AJ Dillon (RB): 40%
• Emanuel Wilson (RB): 11%

At some point this season - maybe not Week 10 - the Packers will concede it's a lost season. They're 3 games back, next 4 are at PIT, LAC, at DET, KC. AJ Dillon has one foot out the door. They might want to see what they have at RB3.

Late in the year he'll have one of those weird "who's that guy?" games during the fantasy playoffs. Monitor snap counts to see if/when he starts to supplant Dillon as the backup. Led the NFL in rushing during preseason (38-223-5.9-2), made the 53-man as a D-II UDFA. Wears #31 if you're scoring at home. Desperation play but just in case you catch an injury bug late, stick a pin this one. Every year we see these kind of players put a week or three of solid produciton.

Wow. Thank you sir for the heads up
That's one of the reasons I love this site. Good luck this week.

Anyone hard up at RB might want to look at Ty Chandler.

With the Achilles for Akers, the OC has been talking up an increased role for Chandler.

Chances are good he’s on the wire in redraft leagues.

Not saying he’ll be a monster, but he could give ya 10 PPR points if things break right.

I keep coming back to him and picked him up just recently. Not expecting a league winner but could be a fantasy RB3/flex if he can fill Mattison’s spot eventually. Next man up at RB on a decent offense. Can never have too many useful fantasy RBs but you can have not enough.

 

[BigJim®]

I want it to happen for Ty Chandler but they traded for Akers for a reason. Did Chandler somehow get better 3 weeks later?

That’s one way to look at it. Another version is it was much publicized that Akers was done in LA, and his former OC pounced on getting more talent basically for free - even though he likes Chandler. It’s not like having Mattison/Chandler is being RB rich.

Had him in one league and was able to get him in the six others (all dynasty). Wouldn't it be a hoot if he actually paid dividends.

Vikings have averaged 2.82 YPC the last 3, 2.97 the last 5. Guess what, couldn't run when Kirk & JJ were healthy either - 79 yards per game WKs 1-4 (bottom quartile.)

Outside of Darrisaw their OL is very suspect.

 

[the spanker]

If you can trade for James Conner on the cheap, I think he's the BIG winner when the dust settles. Shouldn't be on waivers, but you might have a sleepy owner who's forgotten about him since he's been out with an injury.

The only thing that concerns me about Conner is his week 13 is at Pitt and then he gets a bye and then comes back at Week 15 against SF. So three weeks where what I have to give up now to get him may not be worth the return in a proposed trade.

Going though this thread now and you beat me to the downside of acquiring Conner.

Not to suggest otherwise but I remember reading about the players they released & a focus on retaining their OL. Going back, as you'll recall, a philosophical shift away from the run with the hiring of Kevin O'Connell. I've been critical but this past week, the acquisition of Joshua Dobbs & in short order into the game he goes & produces. Ha-ha, my opinion of O'Connell, a complete 180. Given the injury to Osborn I added Brandon Powell. I think WR Kyle Philips (TEN) is an interesting speculative add.

Loved watching him in the pre-season, but his snaps will depend on if he's learned to pass block better than Dillon. He's shown a lot more juice than Dillon, but with this being Loves first year as a starter, they'll value pass blocking ability far more than raw running talent.

Jones is still the back to own on this team. Stash Wilson for dynasty though.

I imagine the 3 of them alternate big weeks, with no way to know which one(s) will go off. It will drive everyone crazy.

 

[dschuler]

Not sure if anyone has brought him up but I would add Rico Dowdle if you have an empty spot. Pollard hasn’t looked the same since the ankle injury and Dowdle looked to have some juice yesterday. He could be a bell cow if Pollard goes down as well and he’s a smaller RB as it is.

Not sure dowdle is any more/less suited to be a bell cow (based on size) than Pollard is.

I was agreeing with you. I thought I was being agreeable. Some folks like to be aggressive in their proclamations. I'm a duck, rolls off my back like water.

(ideally.....sometimes I get triggered, which is usually a signal NOW would be a good time to go outside and touch some grass.)
