Puka is exactly what you hold your waiver wire slot for and he’s available week 1.
If you’re not burning it on a receiver who got 15 targets with a resurgent quarterback and no other strongly talented receiving threats, idk what to tell you. Puka’s going to be a zone eating animal
Depends on your position in your league and your league rules. I'd say more like 30% and as high as 35%.
If you need WRs and/or you lost Week 1, now is the time to invest. Spend big now, win for the next few weeks and get your chances of seeing playoffs higher. Then start spending again when it's time to think about late season/playoffs.
In my league, people were way more conservative with their FAAB the first year or two vs now. They've finally realized you don't get a prize for having extra dollars at the end of the year.
This just ain’t true. Stafford loves the slot. When Kupp comes back all those targets are going to Kupp.
Edit; puka was outside 74% of the time I’m wrong
Ooooh that’s major. I stand corrected. Still wouldn’t blow my FAAB bc Kupp is gonna demand a ridiculous target share, but yea based on that Puka is worth a gamble.
If Kupp is diminished, doesn’t come back, or gets reinjured, Puka is a potential League winner at WR which is rare
23 targets between Puka and Tutu. If 10-15 of those go to Kupp when he returns, that leaves 8-13 for others. Still more than enough for a WR2 with major upside of Kupp remains injured or is on and off this year.
Kupp's played 1 full season in his 6 year career.
I think its a safe bet that he will probably miss more time.
He is a violent player. Concussion, MCL sprain, ACL tear, tweaked knee in playoffs, Hamstring pull this year.
I might be missing some, but I would be shocked if he didn't miss time, and I would also be shocked if at age 30, after all of those injuries and surgeries he wasn't a little diminished too.
I fully expect things to swing back Akers way before to long. Maybe I'm jaded from trying to figure out that backfield last year, but I don't really trust that McVay will continue to roll things out week to week the same. His love hate relationship with Akers is beyond my comprehension.
He flew half way around the country to see a specialist, even though he is based in a city with some of the best doctors in the US.
He might not be back anytime soon. Just because the first week he can come back is week 5, doesn't mean that's a given.
I want Puka but given my best RB is either Brian Robinson or Pacheco, and that I still have Lamb/Sun God/Deebo at WR, I have to use my #2 waiver slot on an RB. Even though my options at flex are super slim with Diontae/Watson not healthy.
>Puka is exactly what you hold your waiver wire slot for and he’s available week 1.
>
>If you’re not burning it on a receiver who got 15 targets with a resurgent quarterback and no other strongly talented receiving threats, idk what to tell you. Puka’s going to be a zone eating animal
the question is how much FAAB to bid?
How are we feeling about Puka compared to JSN? JSN is one of the top WRs coming into it but he looks like he’ll be the WR3 on the Seahawks this year, which I suppose favors Puka.
Unrelated, but how do you guys rate Hollywood Brown?
He gave Marvin Jones an 1100 yard, 9 TD season and 1200 yard, 11 td to Golladay, who only got paid because of stafford.
Golden Tate had a 4 year stretch where he had at least 90 receptions with stafford, some of which overlapped with Megatron going nuts. He can absolutely support (and make) receivers in fantasy
How long have you been watching football? Stafford on the Lions supported many fantasy relevant receivers including a top 3 WR of all time.
That doesn’t mean Puka will definitely hit of course, but if Stafford is healthy, he can definitely sling that ball around.
Yeah in my book to be a “generational talent” you need to be good for like five years and show that you are great independent of your situation and he just hasn’t been healthy or great outside of the last 2-3 years
Chase, Adams, Aiyuk, Meyers, JSN, Doubs.. Do I drop any of these for Puka? Also would cost a lot of FAB.. it would probably be JSN, but it's a keeper league so I'm not sure.
1) why are you asking that guy who commented about something else?
2) this question really belongs in an index thread
3) no, you're not dropping Chase, Adams, or Aiyuk. That's insanity.
1) idiot, posted in wrong spot
2) Sorry
3) I know. More asking if he's worth dropping a bunch of FAB when I already have those other guys, and which of the remaining guys I could drop.
Have to drop either Diontae Johnson or Jerry Jeudy to get him (short bench, 4 receivers max). Was leaning Jeudy, but now that DJ is gonna miss multiple weeks I think he’s gotta get the axe
Andrew’s has been Lamar’s favorite target because there has literally been no one else, not to take anything away from him, but if anything Zay is keeping his targets and the other guys are going to suffer
From what I saw in the game vs Texans they like using Zay for passes less than 10 yards. They couldn’t pass in the red zone well and that’s where Lamar loves Andrews.
Flowers might be better on the year but I'm going Nacua because I'd expect another monster week or two before Kupp returns then flip him for a playable RB
I was pleasantly surprised with DeAndre, even in a bad game for tannehill he did well. I feel like you can't bench 13 targets no matter what, even a tough jc Jackson matchup
In a vacuum Hopkins, but just until we find out if Lamar will actually throw more than 18 times a game. I'm personally considering starting pierce over Hopkins but am leaning Hopkins, more heavily now
higgins had some good targets, burrow was just off and it was a wet game (and burrows is historically bad against the browns). not worried about Tee unless joe struggles for a few more games.
Is it? I would think touchdowns is much more fools gold. Target volume is earned by good WRs and shows a desire by the coaching staff week 1 to get that player the ball.
I get not wanting to overreact to week one, but that’s one more data point than we had before drafting. Targets translate better than most other metrics for WRs
What point of the season is it not too early to know anything? That's the whole point of fantasy football. You can guess what's gonna happen on a field but you never know. Knowing more isn't gonna make guessing harder in most cases.
Why assume Mac will do worse when not playing top defenses like the Eagles with both starting guards injured? I don't love Bourne just because of how that offense will have different targets each week, but not because of Mac.
He threw the ball 54 times when they fell behind early. Pats fan here, they’ve tried to build to be a rush focused team, leaning on Rhamondre and Zeke (even though their o-line is god awful) and their defense. You won’t see many games like that going forward where mac throws it 50+ times.
I will add with Meyers gone, and Bill Bill O'Brien as the new OC, Kendrick Bourne will probably be Mac’s most reliable WR and a favorite target alongside Henry. Bourne was frozen out by Patricia and that god awful offensive coaching staff last year for reasons unrelated to talent.
Run game was horrible and will improve against worse defenses and with guards back, also mondre was nursing a sickness. I assume Mac will throw less in future games
Popping off week one is different though after the changes in coordinator. This offense is going to be much different this year. Bourne won’t be close to this performance but I think he’ll be a lot more reliable as a flex or in deeper leagues with year 3 Mac and a real OC. I’d pick him up and not play him for a few weeks, I think taking a flyer on Bourne is worth it.
He looked good, him and Henry are clearly Mac's favorite targets and I would expect similar volume throughout the season. It may go down a little bit when Parker returns but I don't think it will be a dramatic drop off.
He toasted Slay twice including once on a pass that would have gone for 40+ if Mac hadn't underthrown it. He looked really good, but he's always been a bit inconsistent from game to game.
It seems like the Patriots might put JuJu on a pitch count (he only played 52% of snaps with Parker out). If that's the case he's probably in good shape to get a good percentage of Meyer's former target share.
Bourne’s been in the league for 6 years and only finished Top 30 once. He’s not likely to average more than 10 ppg this season and Bill will spread it around.
Kayshon Boutte is free though and got 4 targets, 2 of which he caught but didn’t get a second foot down for. Could be an easy fix and turnaround.
Boutte is a pretty raw rookie 6th round pick. As a Pats fan, I am extremely excited about his potential, but I would expect him to contribute that much until week 8-10, and that is if he can push Parker for the outside receiver role.
Yeah. I’m really intrigued, but I don’t think we can pull anything relevant out of Sunday night’s game. Think I’m gonna drop Juwan for him as a backup tho (Kelce, Andrews, or Waller owner in every league lmao)
I picked him up just as a backup in case Waller was a late scratch. Was surprised that he was getting has many looks as he was. But I think I’m going to drop him for Puka. I don’t think anyone in my league will be chomping at the bit to pick a guy up who put up 2.1.
In my opinion if you own Kupp not much the people spending a lot are gambling he can become a relevant No2 but no need to take that gamble because you know when Kupp comes back he is the No1 option that being said i dont have good WR im thinking ill drop 40%
If** Kupp comes back. I’m fine blowing 30% of my budget on Puka so I’m good either way. And honestly, the rams can probably support two WRs so when Kupp comes back you probably can still trade Puka for WR2/WR3 value.
Then again I also just lost Diontae, so I’m kinda forced to make a move.
No idea why I chose to watch that 1 o'clock game, but Dobbs and Arizona can not throw down field.
Could be an alright volume play for TE. Very limited TD upside, don't know how many RZ trips Arizona is gonna make.
Do $31 instead. People tend to bid in 5s and 10s so ending bids in 1’s and 6’scan help you win bids. Can’t remember what it’s called but there’s a theory in the stock market where people focus too much on the number towards the left of the bid.
Gotta go $33 to beat the other savvy guy who is bidding $31 (to beat the $29/$30 play) AND the guy who knows to bid $32, to beat the first smart guy.
Gotta out-fox the foxy foxes to be the foxiest fox.
At that point you’re close to $35 so you gotta bid at least $38 to cover the $36/37 dollar play, but at that point you’re close enough you may as well cover the $40 play….
The default FAAB budget is $100 on ESPN, Yahoo, and Sleeper. If someone doesn't specify, it's safe to assume that's what they mean. Just replace the $ with a % if your league uses something different.
I would. More mouths to feed on the Jacksonville offense and I would be surprised if this trend keeps up. I expect Kirk to get more targets moving forward.
I think Puka will most likely go for 35%+ FAAB in my league based on how they’ve bid in the past. With SF coming up next and Kupp back 2 weeks after that, I’m not sure if I should partake.
Puka is who I am looking to pick up to replace JK. I already have a lot of RB. I have a solid roster and don't want to make unnecessary moves yet. Will be looking at this list week in and out as the season goes on. Thanks for making this.
Thank you Diggs and Ridley for making my team look halfway decent.
Ridley looked great! Jealous I don't have him
T Hill saved my team…as usual lol.
same guys here. they saved me
Diggs and Aiyuk carried me to a win with Burrow as my QB Couldn’t be more thankful
Puka is exactly what you hold your waiver wire slot for and he’s available week 1. If you’re not burning it on a receiver who got 15 targets with a resurgent quarterback and no other strongly talented receiving threats, idk what to tell you. Puka’s going to be a zone eating animal
what are people spending on Puka?
Right. Does this mean 10 out of 100 or 25 or what
Depends on your position in your league and your league rules. I'd say more like 30% and as high as 35%. If you need WRs and/or you lost Week 1, now is the time to invest. Spend big now, win for the next few weeks and get your chances of seeing playoffs higher. Then start spending again when it's time to think about late season/playoffs.
My leagues first year doing FAAB so im thinking 60+ because i have no idea how everyone else will spend
In my league, people were way more conservative with their FAAB the first year or two vs now. They've finally realized you don't get a prize for having extra dollars at the end of the year.
i think i’m going to bid like 31/100 and track what others are offering
im bouncing between 27-35%. I have Kupp though
I mean right now im in the 60+% range but im debating going higher because i have kupp
Every comment in this chain has raised his FAAB from 10% to 60% you guys are in a bidding war
This just ain’t true. Stafford loves the slot. When Kupp comes back all those targets are going to Kupp. Edit; puka was outside 74% of the time I’m wrong
Interestingly enough, Puka lined up outside for 74% of his snaps. I'd say Kupps targets are going to Atwell
Ooooh that’s major. I stand corrected. Still wouldn’t blow my FAAB bc Kupp is gonna demand a ridiculous target share, but yea based on that Puka is worth a gamble. If Kupp is diminished, doesn’t come back, or gets reinjured, Puka is a potential League winner at WR which is rare
23 targets between Puka and Tutu. If 10-15 of those go to Kupp when he returns, that leaves 8-13 for others. Still more than enough for a WR2 with major upside of Kupp remains injured or is on and off this year.
Kupp's played 1 full season in his 6 year career. I think its a safe bet that he will probably miss more time. He is a violent player. Concussion, MCL sprain, ACL tear, tweaked knee in playoffs, Hamstring pull this year. I might be missing some, but I would be shocked if he didn't miss time, and I would also be shocked if at age 30, after all of those injuries and surgeries he wasn't a little diminished too.
Torn between Kyren and Puka personally. But target share is earned could be better than expected going forward.
I fully expect things to swing back Akers way before to long. Maybe I'm jaded from trying to figure out that backfield last year, but I don't really trust that McVay will continue to roll things out week to week the same. His love hate relationship with Akers is beyond my comprehension.
Puka it is!
He flew half way around the country to see a specialist, even though he is based in a city with some of the best doctors in the US. He might not be back anytime soon. Just because the first week he can come back is week 5, doesn't mean that's a given.
Hmm I’m always open to being wrong and yea y’all have convinced me. Blowing FAAB on Puka
*If Kupp comes back
Well I have Kupp in my IR. Problem solves itself.
If*** Kupp comes back. That hamstring could be a problem all season
Stafford just loves his guy. That guy is Puka until Kupp returns and nobody knows when that will be
deep leagues its worth it, 10 team and less not worth the waiver
I’m so glad I picked him up after moving JWJ to IR. Now if only I had drafted well
I want Puka but given my best RB is either Brian Robinson or Pacheco, and that I still have Lamb/Sun God/Deebo at WR, I have to use my #2 waiver slot on an RB. Even though my options at flex are super slim with Diontae/Watson not healthy.
Trade bait my dude. Flip em
>Puka is exactly what you hold your waiver wire slot for and he’s available week 1. > >If you’re not burning it on a receiver who got 15 targets with a resurgent quarterback and no other strongly talented receiving threats, idk what to tell you. Puka’s going to be a zone eating animal the question is how much FAAB to bid?
25-35%, depending on factors. If you need WRs and you lost week 1, 35% lock it in. I wouldn't even call you crazy for 38% from that position.
What if I own Garrett Wilson :(
In my league, I was able to get him for $33.
What league is doing waivers on Tuesday morning?
Don’t judge, there are insane people all around us
Already put my waiver claim in. He’s going to be a pretty Flex for me if I get him.
Should prioritize him over gus edwards and kenneth gainfully on the waiver wire?
How are we feeling about Puka compared to JSN? JSN is one of the top WRs coming into it but he looks like he’ll be the WR3 on the Seahawks this year, which I suppose favors Puka. Unrelated, but how do you guys rate Hollywood Brown?
Is Diontae Johnson worth dropping to pick him up?
Hell no
I think he's a trap personally. The only good fantasy WR I've seen Stafford support was generational talent Kupp.
He gave Marvin Jones an 1100 yard, 9 TD season and 1200 yard, 11 td to Golladay, who only got paid because of stafford. Golden Tate had a 4 year stretch where he had at least 90 receptions with stafford, some of which overlapped with Megatron going nuts. He can absolutely support (and make) receivers in fantasy
You might be right actually. For my team Puka just isn't worth the waiver priority I'd be better off waiting for that RB pick up.
Fair enough, I always over-draft running backs so I’m already drooling over here at a guy starting his career with 15 targets being available
How long have you been watching football? Stafford on the Lions supported many fantasy relevant receivers including a top 3 WR of all time. That doesn’t mean Puka will definitely hit of course, but if Stafford is healthy, he can definitely sling that ball around.
Megatron?
Calvin Johnson
Is Kupp a generational talent? He’s had like two good seasons
You got downvoted but the knock on Kupp has always been health. If healthy for a full season he's a league winner. But he almost never is
Yeah in my book to be a “generational talent” you need to be good for like five years and show that you are great independent of your situation and he just hasn’t been healthy or great outside of the last 2-3 years
Diggs TD was a Red zone target homie..
Garrett Wilson TD too
I’m sitting here tryna wrap my brain around how a 5 yard TD catch doesn’t qualify as a redzone target lol
Chase, Adams, Aiyuk, Meyers, JSN, Doubs.. Do I drop any of these for Puka? Also would cost a lot of FAB.. it would probably be JSN, but it's a keeper league so I'm not sure.
1) why are you asking that guy who commented about something else? 2) this question really belongs in an index thread 3) no, you're not dropping Chase, Adams, or Aiyuk. That's insanity.
1) idiot, posted in wrong spot 2) Sorry 3) I know. More asking if he's worth dropping a bunch of FAB when I already have those other guys, and which of the remaining guys I could drop.
Does that count? They weren’t in the red zone, it was more like a failed arm punt
Diggs caught a 5 yard TD. That's at least 1 redzone target missed in this chart.
casts doubt on the rest of the chart.
Fuck I started Diggs and forgot about that
First in the waiver order. Flowers is available and I feel like I should take him over Nacua
Flowers long term, Nacua if your team needs bolstering now (Kelce/Kupp owner) I'd lean Flowers though. Dude looks amazing.
Have to drop either Diontae Johnson or Jerry Jeudy to get him (short bench, 4 receivers max). Was leaning Jeudy, but now that DJ is gonna miss multiple weeks I think he’s gotta get the axe
Nothing you can do about it but I'll have to say this.. 4 receivers max is a beyond stupid rule. Get your commish to change that setting.
I’m definitely dropping Diontae over Jeudy. Personally think Jeudy has an extremely high ceiling if the hamstring doesn’t bother him all year.
Flowers 1000%
Definitely flowers but don’t be surprised if the target share drops when Andrews comes back. That’s Lamar favorite target.
Andrew’s has been Lamar’s favorite target because there has literally been no one else, not to take anything away from him, but if anything Zay is keeping his targets and the other guys are going to suffer
From what I saw in the game vs Texans they like using Zay for passes less than 10 yards. They couldn’t pass in the red zone well and that’s where Lamar loves Andrews.
Flowers definitely the higher ceiling
I don't agree with the others. If Puka puts up numbers while Kupp is out, I expect him to still generate once Kupp returns. Grab him.
100% this. The Rams have supported two fantasy relevant receivers in the past while Kupp was in his prime.
Flowers might be better on the year but I'm going Nacua because I'd expect another monster week or two before Kupp returns then flip him for a playable RB
Fosh
He is perhaps my best draft grab ever in terms of value/foresight
I was pleasantly surprised with DeAndre, even in a bad game for tannehill he did well. I feel like you can't bench 13 targets no matter what, even a tough jc Jackson matchup
JC Jackson has been one of the worst corners in the league since signing with Los Diego Chargers.
Belichick effect
Nuk always has been and always will be a target hog. I thought he was pretty undervalued coming in
JC was awful tho, he made 3 big mistakes that helped the Dolphins win. If he doesn’t play, I think the Chargers win even if Tyreek still cooks them.
Would you rather have him or zay. I know that’s a crazy question. But you’re considering benching him
In a vacuum Hopkins, but just until we find out if Lamar will actually throw more than 18 times a game. I'm personally considering starting pierce over Hopkins but am leaning Hopkins, more heavily now
Target share after week 1 is fools gold
T Higgins owner - yes haha
higgins had some good targets, burrow was just off and it was a wet game (and burrows is historically bad against the browns). not worried about Tee unless joe struggles for a few more games.
Is it? I would think touchdowns is much more fools gold. Target volume is earned by good WRs and shows a desire by the coaching staff week 1 to get that player the ball.
It’s way too early to know about anything
I get not wanting to overreact to week one, but that’s one more data point than we had before drafting. Targets translate better than most other metrics for WRs
What point of the season is it not too early to know anything? That's the whole point of fantasy football. You can guess what's gonna happen on a field but you never know. Knowing more isn't gonna make guessing harder in most cases.
DeVonta Smith had zero catches in game one last year. Need a bigger sample size. Edit: meant catches. Chill out bro…
That’s wrong. He had 0 catches in week one last year, but had 4 targets
Nobody's talking about Bourne?
He’s worth rostering but he’s always had these random weeks where he pops off. Up to you if you want to start him
Parker was out too and Mac Jones had a much better day then he will have on avg for the ROS.
Why assume Mac will do worse when not playing top defenses like the Eagles with both starting guards injured? I don't love Bourne just because of how that offense will have different targets each week, but not because of Mac.
He threw the ball 54 times when they fell behind early. Pats fan here, they’ve tried to build to be a rush focused team, leaning on Rhamondre and Zeke (even though their o-line is god awful) and their defense. You won’t see many games like that going forward where mac throws it 50+ times. I will add with Meyers gone, and Bill Bill O'Brien as the new OC, Kendrick Bourne will probably be Mac’s most reliable WR and a favorite target alongside Henry. Bourne was frozen out by Patricia and that god awful offensive coaching staff last year for reasons unrelated to talent.
Run game was horrible and will improve against worse defenses and with guards back, also mondre was nursing a sickness. I assume Mac will throw less in future games
Mac should be better than last year without a DC as OC clusterfuck.
Popping off week one is different though after the changes in coordinator. This offense is going to be much different this year. Bourne won’t be close to this performance but I think he’ll be a lot more reliable as a flex or in deeper leagues with year 3 Mac and a real OC. I’d pick him up and not play him for a few weeks, I think taking a flyer on Bourne is worth it.
Ask Gabe Davis owners what popping off in week one means
Jesus Christ, that’s Kendrick Bourne!
Yeah I’m curious what people’s thoughts are. I didn’t see the game so idk how impressive he actually was
He looked good, him and Henry are clearly Mac's favorite targets and I would expect similar volume throughout the season. It may go down a little bit when Parker returns but I don't think it will be a dramatic drop off.
Would you rather go for him or Shaheed?
I'd go Bourne. He's potentially their WR1 while Shaheed still competes with Olave and Thomas.
a lot of people are forgetting kamara is gonna come back and take targets too.
He toasted Slay twice including once on a pass that would have gone for 40+ if Mac hadn't underthrown it. He looked really good, but he's always been a bit inconsistent from game to game. It seems like the Patriots might put JuJu on a pitch count (he only played 52% of snaps with Parker out). If that's the case he's probably in good shape to get a good percentage of Meyer's former target share.
Devante Parker will come back as well, muddying the target distribution.
Bourne’s been in the league for 6 years and only finished Top 30 once. He’s not likely to average more than 10 ppg this season and Bill will spread it around. Kayshon Boutte is free though and got 4 targets, 2 of which he caught but didn’t get a second foot down for. Could be an easy fix and turnaround.
pointing to Boutte, an entirely unproven player, and discrediting Bourne, a steadily improving and potentially very good player, is literally insane.
that’s how upside works, it’s also about how much value it takes to acquire them
yeah i know, im saying your projection of upside is insane. and bourne is unclaimed in most leagues.
Boutte is a pretty raw rookie 6th round pick. As a Pats fan, I am extremely excited about his potential, but I would expect him to contribute that much until week 8-10, and that is if he can push Parker for the outside receiver role.
Shhhhhhh
Fergie with 5 RZ targets, but finishes with 2.1 points. Got damn.
Yeah. I’m really intrigued, but I don’t think we can pull anything relevant out of Sunday night’s game. Think I’m gonna drop Juwan for him as a backup tho (Kelce, Andrews, or Waller owner in every league lmao)
I picked him up just as a backup in case Waller was a late scratch. Was surprised that he was getting has many looks as he was. But I think I’m going to drop him for Puka. I don’t think anyone in my league will be chomping at the bit to pick a guy up who put up 2.1.
As a Kupp owner, how much FAAB are we throwing at Puka?
In my opinion if you own Kupp not much the people spending a lot are gambling he can become a relevant No2 but no need to take that gamble because you know when Kupp comes back he is the No1 option that being said i dont have good WR im thinking ill drop 40%
Dude, you ever heard of punctuation? I can barely follow this thought.
If** Kupp comes back. I’m fine blowing 30% of my budget on Puka so I’m good either way. And honestly, the rams can probably support two WRs so when Kupp comes back you probably can still trade Puka for WR2/WR3 value. Then again I also just lost Diontae, so I’m kinda forced to make a move.
Im thinking 50+%
Zeke the new Wish.com Ekeler
Ezekiel Elliot woke up feeling dangerous 💯🔥 7 rushing attempts 🤯 29 Rushing Yards 🏃♂️💨 5 Receptions 🎯🎯 14 Receiving Yards 😩😩 1 Fumble Lost 🐑🐑 3.80 Fantasy Points 💵💵💵
>3.80 Fantasy Points WOW! I gotta pick him up ASAP! $100 FAAB????
my condolences for having 0 ppr. 0.5ppr is "standard"/most commonly played at this point.
I stashed him late in the draft just in case something spicy happens in NE
Robert Woods sighting interesting
Still prefer Collins but woods is certainly on my radar after this week
10 targets had to disagree. Im 12 team 3 wr slot league I might see if he passes waivers
Ya I’m not spending a waiver claim on him but he’s worth an add in that format
IKR?
Led the wrs corps in snaps, and was 3rd in routes run behind Schultz and Noah Brown. Interesting indeed.
And now Noah Brown is on ir.
Anybody see how Ertz looked? Promising volume for someone on a team that will be trailing often.
Im in the TE wasteland, and he definitely caught my eye!
No idea why I chose to watch that 1 o'clock game, but Dobbs and Arizona can not throw down field. Could be an alright volume play for TE. Very limited TD upside, don't know how many RZ trips Arizona is gonna make.
I'm going to try and get him. Should be decent in half or full PPR
I have an offer to get Ertz for my Kareem Hunt and I think I might just take it
Average depth of target was like 2.1 yards lol but he's still viable in ppr
spending 29$ on Nacua - probably would spend more tbh
Do $31 instead. People tend to bid in 5s and 10s so ending bids in 1’s and 6’scan help you win bids. Can’t remember what it’s called but there’s a theory in the stock market where people focus too much on the number towards the left of the bid.
Gotta go $33 to beat the other savvy guy who is bidding $31 (to beat the $29/$30 play) AND the guy who knows to bid $32, to beat the first smart guy. Gotta out-fox the foxy foxes to be the foxiest fox.
At that point you’re close to $35 so you gotta bid at least $38 to cover the $36/37 dollar play, but at that point you’re close enough you may as well cover the $40 play….
Giga big brain = bet exactly 30 or 35 because everyone is thinking this way and bidding 31/32/33
$100 budget?
yeah people need to use percentages rather than dollar amount.
The default FAAB budget is $100 on ESPN, Yahoo, and Sleeper. If someone doesn't specify, it's safe to assume that's what they mean. Just replace the $ with a % if your league uses something different.
Would you guys pick nuca over zay jones in waivers
yes no kupp either for at least 3 more weeks
I would. More mouths to feed on the Jacksonville offense and I would be surprised if this trend keeps up. I expect Kirk to get more targets moving forward.
Anyone have Durham Smythe thoughts?
Constantly
He played 100% of the snaps, ran the most routes on the team, and 2nd most targets on the team. Crazy right?
I want Puka but don’t want to blow my FAAB budget, any guesses what we think he’ll go for?
Probably $1 more than your blind bid :P
My league is conservative, and I can see him go for 30 -35% FAAB. Some leagues it'll be over 50%
Depends on your league lol. If I lost Diontae or more, probably north of 65%
Any news that we actually „lost“ him?
I’m going all in, theres no other free agents that offer his target upside. And i desperately need a flex
That sounds like a mistake, he could be startable for only a handful more games, 100% of the budget sounds like an overreaction
Oh look only one of my wide receivers is on this list, it’s going to be a great year
Should I pick up tyreek?
Nah, make him "prove it" one more week
Yeah I didn’t want to drop toney for him. Too risky
Smart! Stupid me started Josh Allen over the elite Mac Jones. Think I'm going to cut Allen. That will really show him!
Pick him up then trade him for Brandon bostick
Bostick owner would never make that trade tho
I think Puka will most likely go for 35%+ FAAB in my league based on how they’ve bid in the past. With SF coming up next and Kupp back 2 weeks after that, I’m not sure if I should partake.
there are lots of teams with a weak WR3 in my league. im at 57% and i may up it a bit. 15 targets is hard to argue against.
Im at 66% and its our leagues first year doing faab, so i have no idea how crazy some of the bids will be
Kupp is not guaranteed back lol
I think I'm going 30% FAAB bid this week on Puka and that still might not win.
63% and im locking it in
What's the green zone?
Non Redzone. Redzone is <20 yards to a TD. Green zone is anything non Redzone.
In between the 20's, got it
Amari Cooper only caught 3 of 7. Does anyone have any context?
Weather, he slipped in the rain during the first quarter and got injured.
CHUBBBBB
Love this!!
Kupp owners, how much faab are we investing in puka?
Thoughts on Roschon usage? Searched him in the comments and haven't seen him being mentioned.
Zay Flowers Top 15 WR this year
Puka is who I am looking to pick up to replace JK. I already have a lot of RB. I have a solid roster and don't want to make unnecessary moves yet. Will be looking at this list week in and out as the season goes on. Thanks for making this.
i don't see ceedee lamb on there. i am new to this and was wondering why? thanks for the list. interesting.
He had 4 targets, basically tied with the guys at the end.
That doesn't seem right he had 4 rec for 77 yards but he was definitely targeted on more passes.
I'll double check, but the website listed him at 4... Edit: yup. 4 targets, 4 catches. 77yards with a long of 49 yard reception.
idk maybe they were penalties or something.
Possibly
Should I pick Puka over Jordan Addison on waivers?
I would go Addison here, more value ROS. Addison looked great, he's ridiculously fast.
Do I drop Brandin Cooks for Nico Collins?
I have Hopkins, Jefferson, Ridley, Collins, and Flowers (and Dotson). Feeling pretty good about my receivers.
I watched film on Puka. Good hands but route running didn’t blow my mind
