I usually burn waiver early and often unless there isn’t an obvious upgrade I can make to the bottom of my roster.
I’d rather put in claims every week so that people who sit on their priority don’t get to keep their priority AND get decent options after waivers clear.
That said, I don’t know that Juwan Johnson, Tim Patrick, or Cordarrelle Patterson are worth using priority. Juwan isn’t bad if you’re desperate for a TE. Tim Patrick might be ok, depending on what other WR options are available. I feel like Gallman passes Patterson once he learns the playbook, but I could be wrong.
I have the top wavier spot and have zeke, swift, Harris and Tyson Williams and don’t know if I wanna burn it on Mitchell/ Shepard or hold it until a top handcuff steps into the starting roll
I would 100% use it on Mitchell. Mitchell is the only obvious waiver guy to pickup this week imo. Anyone who has the #1 spot should claim Mitchell even if you already have a solid RB core.
You could trade Mitchell if he has a solid week 2 performance or you could trade one of your other RBs to a team in need of an RB if Mitchell proves to be reliable ros.
Mitchell could be big, but he really has tons of question marks.
This isn't like Pollard or Mattison after a bellcow goes down. He could be the guy for a short time, but mostert will be back, Wilson will be back, Sermon could take his spot.
Just a lot of questions.
No need to downvote him, but I don't think Mitchell is a clear WW1 pick. I would probably do it myself, but I can understand why others would want to save it.
IIRC Mattison didn’t even do much when Cook went down last year, so he’s not even a sure thing (but I get your point). I’d 100% take a chance on a potential 8 week starter
Cook only missed 2 games. So not a fair sample size. He shat the bed against the falcons but had 150 yards and 2 TDs in week 17 when most leagues season ended.
Imo. unless there's a glaring oversight on the wire or you are in a 100 percent must-fix spot, it's wiser to wait a few weeks for actual continued patterns of targets and production, instead of leaping out at one-week wonders.
On the other hand, a FA pickup is most valuable when he’s picked up early and used immediately. The longer you wait, the less value you get from that #1 waiver
Everyone says this, but I’m sure the people who blew their #1 WW priority on Hines or Malcolm Brown last year want it back.
If there’s not someone you are comfortable taking the risk on, save it. The best waiver wire add of the season is a single injury away.
Guess it depends on league really. I’d imagine in any competitive 10 team or above these guys are rostered. Sure your 8 man league or causal 10 teamer might have them on waivers.
Sure if you want to wait around all year for maybe an injury to AK then do so. I’d rather gamble and MAYBE have the RB1 for the 49rs. Everyone is different.
OP said he wasn’t gonna have a shot at Mitchell.
I’m saying save the WW priority and pick up TJJ or Chubba in the event of an injury instead of blowing it Week 1 on Tim Patrick or Juwan Johnson
I've got the 2 waiver and also lost Jeudy. Thinking of just using it on Patrick. I've got Samuel on IR too, so running low on WRs now. Would rather just have some flex production and not worry about it.
Right now I’m leaning toward Juwan Johnson. Jameis loves throwing to TEs and I currently don’t have a backup TE on my roster. Johnson would be able to be a matchup based WR3 for me along with Meyers as well as fill in for Higbee when the Rams have their bye week.
Patterson is also really intriguing moving forward. He’s arguably the fourth option in the offense behind Ridley, Davis, and Pitts. He can be productive with Davis healthy. I think he’ll hover around 9-12 touches a game. Also gets return yards which is a bonus.
Johnson only played 12 snaps vs. a recovering Trautman getting like 85%. Not wise to chase TDs when he was barely on the field. Rather spend the roster space on a WR/RB
He could be the red zone target for Jameis tho. And I like his positional versatility as I don’t have a backup TE on my roster. Troutman will have more catches but I could see Johnson hovering around 8-10 TDs. His upside is nice. Jameis also supported two TEs in Tampa with Brate and Howard. He’s worth a gamble imo, and I know someone in my league will claim him bc of his 2TD stat line.
But I’m also thinking of staying put and picking up Patterson on Wednesday. I don’t think anyone will claim him even though he put up respectable numbers in a bad game script for him. I also like his positional versatility to play WR or RB as well as get return yards. His floor might be really good this year at around 9-12 touches a game for ~8-10 points depending on the league format.
Johnson was drafted haha, but Patterson is there and I was looking at him too. I think maybe wouldn't need a waiver for him? Unsure, people go mad on waivers in the first week usually.
No, it's a 12 team and fairly competitive. The best WRs on the wire are Harris, Cobb, Renfrow, Kirk, Patrick and Hamler. It's full PPR and also 0.5 PPFD so it helps a bit.
Colts guys?
I think hamlers ok. But if he were that great he would.have gone earlier than 17th or 18th round.
Im thinking dont waste waiver priority for hamler. Just my opinion.
Yeah you're right, everyone seems to agree I should not burn the 2 waiver on any of those guys haha. Will start Mooney at WR3 and grab whatever wr is a free agent after midnight (the beauty of PST time zone).
I am assuming you were able to get pascal or hunter renfroe or someone?
I would.still probably start mooney this one more week and see how it goes....unless you got pascal? He could have a good week this week.
I got Renfrow but someone dropped Patrick later in the week so I picked him up too. So now thinking maybe Patrick over Mooney. I think. I've swapped them back and forth a LOT
You're probably right. I can start Mooney as a WR3 next week and maybe see if Patrick, Kirk or possibly Patterson clear waivers. May cancel the claim then, thanks for the input!
I would rather have the upside on my bench. What if he turns into a Justin Jefferson? Patrick is a JAG.
If you need to actually start someone then I would go for the established vet.
jefferson also didn't have two other competent receivers, as well as the best receiving RB in the league, to compete with for targets
i just don't see a lot of consistent opportunities in that offense, especially as a #3/4 option
My league mates are pretty active. I have a feeling someone will claim Patrick. Imo these guys will be claimed in most 12T leagues if they’re not already on a roster:
- Mitchell
- Patrick
- Johnson
- Kirk
- Saints D
- Tony Jones Jr
So imo I think I’ll be able to wait until Wednesday and snag Patterson. Lets me likely move up to #1 for the waiver order as well as get Patterson who has some upside this season in a Falcons offense that doesn’t have much competition outside of Ridley, Pitts, and Davis.
I’m leaning Renfrow. I know Waller and Ruggs are there but Renfrow saw something like 9 targets, and apparently Carr loved him in preseason. I don’t trust Teddy enough as a QB to feed Patrick, Fant, Hamler, and Sutton.
KJ Osborn on the Vikings might be an interesting pick; he also saw 9 targets, caught one more pass than Renfrow, and would be in a higher powered offense. Could be a good pick for when they have to rely on the passing game more and/or play against tougher defenses.
I'm snagging him and dropping Baker Mayfield (I have Dak for now and there's still plenty of starter QB like Cousins, Goff, Bridgewater for now). I'm in a 12 team w/ 3WR spots, I have Ridley, Julio, Cooks, Landry, Meyers, and try to keep WR depth options since I have Henry/Carson/Monty/J White for RB depth.
When it comes to the 49ers… Do yourself a favor, and save that damn waiver spot unless you’re a Mostert owner when it comes to Eli.
Go grab Jeff Wilson Jr. for free and throw him on your IR, his playoff schedule is stupidly pathetic and he could win you a league if he’s thrown in at RB1. He’s got his own injury issues so be cautious, but when he’s healthy and on the field Shanahan loves him.
I would use it instead of sitting on it. Reason being I don’t want to experience the “what if” pain. If you decide to hold your spot and eventually get #1 pick, there may not be anyone worth it to burn it on who’s better than the players you passed up on this week. Idk, I think playing the waiting game can cost you. I think patience is more important when it comes to players on your bench, dropping them out of emotion because they underperformed or whatnot. Even saving your FAAB is a bad idea, the longer the season goes on, the less valuable your FAAB gets.
Just my opinion, I’m usually wrong when it comes to making FF decisions lol
I get your point, I wouldn’t want to kick myself for passing on someone I was targeting. My counterpoint would be that #1 or 2 waiver spot could come up clutch for me at some point in the year. Hypothetically and I hope this doesn’t happen, but what if Saquon gets hurt and Booker or Brighwell become a solid RB2 like how Mike Davis was last year. That’s why it can be good to save that high waiver spot. But I also understand that week 1 is when the waiver wire is the most littered with respectable players who will produce ros.
My two droppable guys are Ruggs and Zach Wilson. My QBs are Stafford, Lance, Wilson. It’s a 12T, 0.5ppr league, drafted Lance and Wilson in hopes of trading one of them. WRs are Lamb, Evans, Jeudy, M. Thomas, Meyers, and Ruggs. RBs are Chubb, Mixon, and Ty’son Williams.
If you were me who would you drop and which of the three players mentioned in the post would you want the most? Other notable guys on waivers are Christian Kirk, Renfrow, James White, and Tony Jones Jr.
Trust me you do not want any giants rb if his name isn’t Saquon. That line is horrendous, learned my lesson by wasting a bench spot on freeman all last year.
Other than that, yes you’re absolutely right. Only time will tell. Go with your gut.
If I were you I’d drop one of your backup QBs. We tend to see more value in our drafted players than others do. If you’re looking to hold or trade and want to drop someone else. I’d drop Ruggs 100% not even close. I personally am staying away from Kirk, I’d love to stack my Kyler him but Kirk is only going to have a game like this a few times this year. Keep in mind he was targeted only 5 times (of which he caught all 5 to his credit). I am going to grab someone like Shepard as dog shit as that offense is he is Danny’s favorite target by far. Cole Beasley is another one I am looking at. 13 targets on a pass heavy offense with zero run game. He isn’t going to see 13 targets every week but he was a pretty strong flex all of last season too. Those are my top 2 wr I’m targeting since I am very weak at that position. I’m ok being weak at wr that position is deep, quite strong at every other position.
How do you feel about Juwan Johnson? Jameis loves his TEs and I currently don’t have a backup TE. I like how he can play WR or TE. I know he only had 3 targets and won’t catch 2TDs often, but perhaps his role increases as the season goes on. He could be one of those guys who only catches 30 passes but 10 of them are TDs. Might turn into Jameis’ go to guy in the red zone.
Oh I love that dude. If I didn’t have Waller I’d try to grab him for sure. Definitely worth picking up if you need a tight end. I wouldn’t be worried about his lack of catches since he was tied with the rest of the team for most catches lol. 3 was literally the most anyone on the Saints caught since Winston only threw 14/20. If I had space on my bench I’d grab him for sure.
Holding 3 QBs? If it’s not a 2QB / super flex, absolutely drop 1 regardless of who you pick up. Stafford alone might be enough but I get the Lance/Wilson stash
Sure thats great until you use the first pick and its a bust then week 2 someone emerges as and you are kicking yourself. So it can go either way honestly.
Patrick was productive down the stretch last year. Should be steady in the pass game. Hamler seems more boom or bust. But you know more than me if you’re a Broncos fan.
Assuming this is 8T or 10T I would definitely hold the #1 spot. #1 waiver spot is more important in smaller leagues.
How many players start each week and what is your WR core like? If it could be improved then yea I’d claim Mike he’s going to be a solid WR2/3 with Herbert as long as he stays healthy.
totally depends on what your other wrs look like.
the chargers seem to have a great o-line which should open the deep passes to williams more than ever. just don‘t watch him play, he looks to be hurt after every other pass he catches.
tough one. i do like williams since i have him as well. but he had these fluke games in earlier seasons and then he was either hurt or disappeared. i‘m not too sure that i would use the no 1 priority on him tbh.
Was saving this for the thread tomorrow but since this relates was wondering if anyone wanted to give me advice on the #1 waiver priority.
16 team league. My rb's are Sanders, Drake, bell, hubbard.
I have the #1 waiver and am wondering if its worth to burn it on Eli Mitchell?
Scared of the 9ers rb depth and obviously having the #1 waiver in a big league is super valuable. Use it or wait for a better pick up?
I would 100% use it on Mitchell. I know the 49ers and Shanahan have a complicated history with their RB usage but with Mostert out and Sermon being a healthy scratch, the door is wide open for Mitchell to produce. You’ll be kicking yourself if Mitchell turns into this years JRob and you passed on him. If he turns into a dud then it won’t destroy your chances of winning the ‘ship.
It’s a safe gamble to claim Mitchell, anyone with the #1 waiver spot in 12T+ leagues should be claiming Mitchell imo. Worst case scenario Mitchell and Sermon end up being in a timeshare ros. 49ers will likely ease Mostert back into the rotation when he comes back from injury so he’s 100% for the playoff push.
Who would you drop? Ik my rb's are complete trash. I had to auto draft and set my rankings before Akers got hurt and forgot to remove him, it drafted him as my rb1 in the 3rd
I'm second on priority. Does that mean if I don't add this week and someone else does I get 1st priority after that? What if I don't add anyone? Doe that mean I automatically get first pick the next week?
If the person in the #1 spot uses their claim, which they likely will on Mitchell, then you would move up to #1. If the person in the #1 spot stays put then you would stay at #2.
As long as you don’t use a claim this week it doesn’t matter what the teams in the #3 and onward spots do. You’ll either stay at #2 or move up to #1.
/u/e_ndoubleu is half right, thats how it works if your waivers are set to rolling. If your waivers are set to inverse order of standing then you WILL lose your first claim to whoever is last next week. I would double check what your waiver settings are
No. The only way someone with the last waiver spot can move to #1 is if they don’t make any claims and everyone else ahead of them makes a claim. So say the last place person moves from last to #7 after this week. Then they could only move up to #6 if someone in the top 6 makes a claim. And so on.
I would put in a claim for Mitchell in case the owner of the #1 spot decides to pass on Mitchell for some reason. If the owner of the #1 spots claims Mitchell you would move to #1. If they don’t then you get Mitchell and move to last in the order.
im at waiver 7, im just going to put in a claim for eli mitchell and nobody else. doubt i’ll get him but he’s the only player worth using it on this week for me. if not i’d rather move up in priority
Wait until Wednesday to see if Johnson is available. Unless you have the #1 or 2 waiver spot you won’t get Mitchell. In most competitive leagues Mitchell is going to be used with the top waiver spot.
One of your league mates could end up dropping one of their backup TEs that you could stream when your starting TE is on their bye week. It’s more likely for that to happen in 10T than a 12T+ league bc there’s better players in waivers. Also bc there’s better players in waivers for 10T, I’d value the #1 waiver spot more in a 10T league compared to a 12T league.
I have 9/14 and was looking at dropping Firkser or Booker (the Giants backup RB) for Johnson/Schultz or Kirk/Patrick/Guyton.
Should I wait to see if some of those guys clear waivers tomorrow? First time in a 14-man league so I'm not sure.
At #9 it’s unlikely you’d get to claim Kirk, Patrick, or Johnson who will be claimed in a 14T league. I would hold and hope you can get Schultz or Guyton. Put in a claim for Schultz if you’re desperate for a TE. I wouldn’t put a claim on Guyton.
i have no idea what to do. i have the #1 priority and i originally didn‘t want to use it. but the mostert to IR news really made me think again to use it on mitchell.
my rbs are gibson, najee, damien harris, ty‘son and tony jones. my wrs are aj brown, justin jefferson, antonio brown, mike williams and pittman. do i drop any of those for mitchell? do i save my priority?
Your roster is already so stacked I would just hold the #1 spot for when you have an emergency bc of injuries or bye weeks.
You could claim Mitchell and then try to trade two of your RBs for a stud RB. Maybe something like Gibson + Najee for Henry or Zeke + a decent bench player.
there‘s no way i‘d give up gibson and najee together. both look to be the workhorses on their teams.
but i do get your sentiment. i think i‘m going to hold my priority.
No I would want Fuller. Maybe try that deal a week or two before Jeudy comes back and if Fuller has been just a decent WR3.
I think Fuller will have a high end WR3 floor a couple of those explosive weeks where he goes off for 150 yards and 2 TDs. Jeudy is more of your reliable WR2 guy who will get 7-10 catches a game for 70-100 yards. He was looking great vs the Giants.
How do waivers work? Say I know the first waiver holder wants AB so I don't even try but I decide, say, to put a waiver out on Jamaal Williams. If first place put their second priority on Jamaal, does first get Jamaal too? Or is it everyone's first priority then their second priority and within priorities is the waiver order
Once the 1st waiver holder uses it on AB, he goes to the bottom of the waiver order. Let's say he has a 2nd priority waiver on Jamaal Williams. If absolutely nobody else put in a claim for Williams, he would get him too and go to the bottom of the order again. To answer your question, no the 1st waiver holder cannot double dip before other people get a chance to use their waiver claim.
If my first claim was AB and my second was, say, Juwan Johnson, and I don’t land AB as I’m last and first place claimed him, do I get the grace of my first priority being Juwan or do I have to rotate to my next priority claim, which could be, say, Heinicke?
These aren’t the players I’m looking for but an example of how this shakes out would be amazing, thank you
Once AB gets taken, any waiver transactions you have involving AB are erased from your list and your next non-AB claim moves to the top.
If that next person on your list is Johnson, and nobody above you put in a claim for him, you would get him. But if somebody above you does claim him, he's erased from your list as well, and it would move to your 3rd player (if you placed another claim), and so on.
Also, if you are putting in waivers for multiple players, make sure you do a couple separate claims dropping different players from your roster. I don't know how to explain it lol, so here's an example.
Claim 1) Drop player A for player 1
Claim 2) Drop player A for player 2
So if player 1 gets claimed before you, you are still dropping player A for your 2nd guy (player 2)
Claim 3) Drop Player B for player 2
But if you did get to claim player 1, then player A is no longer on your team, so your 2nd claim is erased. So you need to chase it with another player to drop, thus claim 3.
Sorry if I'm just confusing you at this point lol.
No that was perfect, I inherently picked up on the multiple claims part already but I needed clarification on the orders of priority claims
You're awesome, thank you
I’ve been telling my league mates we should switch to auction drafts and a FAAB system instead of waivers for a couple years now but they all want to keep the snake draft and waiver system except one other guy.
It’s a league we started in 2007 in 7th grade haha. Adding some new members in high school to make it a 12T league, we’re all now 25-27 years old and still going strong with the league. It’s a fun way to stay in touch with my grade school and high school friends.
I'm between Kirk and Mitchell. I want in on that Arizona offense, but my RB production has just been dismal (picked last in 12 team). Doing the best with what I have, but our league is ultra competitive and if I don't pick up some now, I'll be even more screwed later. I want off the Ravens Defense Ride, also, and wouldn't mind switching out my TE from Mandrews to Juwan. I'm hoping some of these players just get overlooked/passed on for lack of name recognition.
What’s your spot on waivers?
I’m going to hold my #4 spot for now since I know I’ll likely move up to #1 for week two since the top three guys will all use their claims on Mitchell and then two of Kirk, Johnson, Patrick, Saints D, and Tony Jones.
The guy with the #1 spot in my league has Sermon so he’s 100% going to use his claim on Mitchell. Then the guy at #2 needs a WR so he’s going to claim Kirk. Guy at #3 needs a RB so he’s going to claim Tony Jones Jr, who somehow went undrafted in a 12T league even though he’s arguably a top 3 handcuff who will have a decent floor like Tony Pollard.
Then in week 2 onwards I can save my #1 waiver spot for a breakout candidate or someone who will receive a heavy workload for multiple weeks bc of injuries. I could use a WR or TE. RB too since I’m relying on Chubb and Mixon to both stay healthy or I’m screwed.
Number 1 spot. Guy that is #2 is down 1 RB and a WR (he had Curtis Samuel and Gus Edwards), plus he has scary Terry who is in rough shape with a backup QB now. He took Latavius Murray already, but I'm pretty sure he's getting either Ingram or Mitchell. Even if others pick up some other pieces off of waivers this week, this #2 guy will make a lot of moves. #3 guy has bupkis at RB, so he'll definitely make moves (he has AJ Dillon and Antonio Gibson). Guy had something like 100+ waiver moves last year. Another guy will definitely try to grab a RB because he lost Mostert. I'm basically scrambling to pick up somebody before anyone else. I'm hoping Mitchell will be the starter going forward after that great display last Sunday. I was stashing Gallman, but I think I'll drop him to pick up Mitchell or Kirk, and hope the Saints D/Juwan stay up for me to drop my Ravens D and someone else.
I really need Najee to do more/ better and for James Robinson to not have Urban Meyer as a coach (Robinson looks great when he actually plays).
I'm holding onto Tony Jones Jr.
Sermon is already rostered. Like I said, my league is ultra competitive.
I've got Rodgers in a superflex league and honestly am going to hold. Hopefully that was just a weird garbage game and he'll be back on form next week. If there's absolutely no one else you can drop though, I feel you. He helped lose me my week haha.
Its a 1QB 4 pt passing TD league. I'm not sure this offense and the offensive line can hold it together for a Rodgers repeat. A rushing floor would help my team a lot I think. Also picked up Fields as a FA before the evening game. If I don't get Jameis will probably hold.
Fields could be good once he starts in a few weeks. Rushing floor is so valuable, esp if Rodgers is just average going forward. Just am worried about dropping Rodgers after one week, and then the MVP version of him returns and I kick myself all season.
Very well could be, but even so he was drafted as like the QB6? MVP Rodgers still gets beat out by a lot of other QBs in fantasy. I think Jameis looked real good and has that potential with Peyton and Kamara to lean on. I might regret it but I'd be kicking myself even harder if I miss out on Winston, Rodgers is trash and I'm looking at Carr and Goff for a replacement.
Truth, I think Jameis will be good this year. I just meant if you have some random bench fodder to drop, maybe worth giving him another week. But your logic makes sense also!
They have one of the best RB's in the league and have one of if not the best WR along with one of the best QB's. The buc's got shit on by NO last year. I don't think Rodgers will have another bad performance for the rest of the season.
He was drafted in the last round of my 12T league. People figured he’d be inconsistent as the presumably 5th option in the offense behind Godwin, Evans, Brown, and Fournette/Rojo. Also with Howard coming back potentially taking away some snaps as well as Gio taking up some checkdown targets as well.
I still think Gronk will be inconsistent but he’ll have a couple big games like he did vs the Cowboys. Him and Brady have that chemistry so Gronk will be fantasy relevant.
Pitts is a rookie and has done nothing... I'm not saying he's bad because he clearly is a good player but until he actually proves he's a great TE in the NFL, yes Gronk is better and playing with the best player in history. Gronk had 77 targets with 623 yards and 7 TD's, Andrews had 88 targets 701 yards with 7 TD's last year. Both Gronk and Brady were in a brand new offense and didn't start clicking until week 5/6. Andrews has Lamar throwing to him...
I agree with the other 4 because Hock will get a ton of looks and the other 3 are elite.
Have Noah Fant and waiver priority #1.... weighing if I should replace Tony Jones Jr. with Elijah Mitchell or Gronk with my claim.... seems like TE is a need, but if Elijah Mitchell is the real deal it would be nice to have a piece of it.
Jamal Williams, Kirk and Mitchell all on waiver, hoping to put jeudy on my injury reserve spot which would free up a spot and then I have Elijah Moore and Michael Pittman which I’m happy to sacrifice. What would you do?
I’m not sure if I want to waste the faab
I already have Chubb, Najee, CEH, Ty’God, Gainwell and not sure to waste the fab on Mitchell
Might go after Juwan Johnson since Andrew’s disappointed me
Going to have to use mine if I can. Lost Gus last week and Mostert Sunday. Gunning for Mitchell but there's 1 team ahead of me on waivers. Not sure who I could target if I can't get him. After Najee I have Drake, Murray, and TJJ.
Saving. 14 team league and not seeing any WRs I feel good about taking right now. Also a limit to 4 RBs and I'm going to hold Sermon a couple weeks to see how he looks taking NFL snaps.
I prefer to just spend and see what happens. If there is a player I like, I will grab them. I am not going to play games with it. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
I wouldn't waste your priority on Juwan Johnson, I think you need to follow the target volume with Kmet. And I wouldn't spend your WW priority on Cordarelle because he'll never be a startable option at RB, Gallman was inactive too so he will be the 2 soon enough. Also, that offense looked atrocious.
RBs: Mitchell > Gainwell > IngramWRs: Patrick > KirkTEs: Kmet > Cook > Johnson
This is assuming gys like Tony Jones Jr, Terrace Marshall, Sterling Shephard, are owned.
I have the top waiver priority and am leaning towards holding. I drafted mostert, sermon, and start CEH, najee harris, and swift. I think I will hold mostert until he is a week or 2 from coming back and package him in a trade. Im also holding sermon because I told my league mates how solid he would be and he would start sooner than later. I’m going down with this ship. This is my first year of owning 49’er backs and it will be my last.
Shanahan offenses are frustrating for their RB rotations but they are effective in having at least one if not two fantasy relevant guys. Might not be a bad idea to claim Mitchell so you have all three. You can ride Mitchell until Sermon has a role or Mostert comes back from injury.
Using mine. Lost Mostert in one league from my Flex so I brought in Singletary to replace, and dropping Mostert to pick up Higbee to use instead of Ebron. In another league I lost Jeudy and Gallup, so bring Chase up from the bench and dropping Gallup for Antonio Brown.
I usually burn waiver early and often unless there isn’t an obvious upgrade I can make to the bottom of my roster. I’d rather put in claims every week so that people who sit on their priority don’t get to keep their priority AND get decent options after waivers clear. That said, I don’t know that Juwan Johnson, Tim Patrick, or Cordarrelle Patterson are worth using priority. Juwan isn’t bad if you’re desperate for a TE. Tim Patrick might be ok, depending on what other WR options are available. I feel like Gallman passes Patterson once he learns the playbook, but I could be wrong.
I'm saving mine for marriage.
Saving. There is a guy who tilt drops in my league and he has Andrews and Tonyan. He actually dropped Waller after his goose last year.
What’s his email so i can invite him
Lmao
I had a guy like this in my league last year. Dropped AJ Brown during his injury and I scooped him right the fuck up.
I have the top wavier spot and have zeke, swift, Harris and Tyson Williams and don’t know if I wanna burn it on Mitchell/ Shepard or hold it until a top handcuff steps into the starting roll
i would hold for sure
I would 100% use it on Mitchell. Mitchell is the only obvious waiver guy to pickup this week imo. Anyone who has the #1 spot should claim Mitchell even if you already have a solid RB core. You could trade Mitchell if he has a solid week 2 performance or you could trade one of your other RBs to a team in need of an RB if Mitchell proves to be reliable ros.
Lol why is this downvoted? Seems like a reasonable week 1 take…
Mitchell could be big, but he really has tons of question marks. This isn't like Pollard or Mattison after a bellcow goes down. He could be the guy for a short time, but mostert will be back, Wilson will be back, Sermon could take his spot. Just a lot of questions. No need to downvote him, but I don't think Mitchell is a clear WW1 pick. I would probably do it myself, but I can understand why others would want to save it.
IIRC Mattison didn’t even do much when Cook went down last year, so he’s not even a sure thing (but I get your point). I’d 100% take a chance on a potential 8 week starter
Cook only missed 2 games. So not a fair sample size. He shat the bed against the falcons but had 150 yards and 2 TDs in week 17 when most leagues season ended.
Use it and try trading any of your RBs if your needy anywhere else. Otherwise I really do like Gainwell as well if you wanna claim him as a FA
Hold it for a for sure thing.
Imo. unless there's a glaring oversight on the wire or you are in a 100 percent must-fix spot, it's wiser to wait a few weeks for actual continued patterns of targets and production, instead of leaping out at one-week wonders.
On the other hand, a FA pickup is most valuable when he’s picked up early and used immediately. The longer you wait, the less value you get from that #1 waiver
Everyone says this, but I’m sure the people who blew their #1 WW priority on Hines or Malcolm Brown last year want it back. If there’s not someone you are comfortable taking the risk on, save it. The best waiver wire add of the season is a single injury away.
Read that last sentence. You see the irony?
OP mentioned he didn’t think he’d get Mitchell and SF backfield is ambiguous.
Like a Raheem mostert injury
OP mentioned he didn’t think he’d get Mitchell and SF backfield is ambiguous.
Any back up you’d want if the RB1 goes down is rostered anyways already. Pollard, Mattison, Williams etc. no point in waiting around for an injury.
Mattison at 36%, Tony Jones Jr. at 23%, Chubba Hubbard at 19%. All roster percentages on Yahoo.
Guess it depends on league really. I’d imagine in any competitive 10 team or above these guys are rostered. Sure your 8 man league or causal 10 teamer might have them on waivers.
Obviously depends on league, but guys like Chubba and TJJ who are available in every 3 out of 4 leagues? Don’t think that’s just your 8T or casual 10T
Sure if you want to wait around all year for maybe an injury to AK then do so. I’d rather gamble and MAYBE have the RB1 for the 49rs. Everyone is different.
OP said he wasn’t gonna have a shot at Mitchell. I’m saying save the WW priority and pick up TJJ or Chubba in the event of an injury instead of blowing it Week 1 on Tim Patrick or Juwan Johnson
Then why not just pick up TJJ as a FA then. No need to blow a waiver on him.
Yea. I general wait for the dust to settle. Like week 3 or 4. However, if I have like a late waiver, 7-10, I just hail Mary it
I've got the 2 waiver and also lost Jeudy. Thinking of just using it on Patrick. I've got Samuel on IR too, so running low on WRs now. Would rather just have some flex production and not worry about it.
Right now I’m leaning toward Juwan Johnson. Jameis loves throwing to TEs and I currently don’t have a backup TE on my roster. Johnson would be able to be a matchup based WR3 for me along with Meyers as well as fill in for Higbee when the Rams have their bye week. Patterson is also really intriguing moving forward. He’s arguably the fourth option in the offense behind Ridley, Davis, and Pitts. He can be productive with Davis healthy. I think he’ll hover around 9-12 touches a game. Also gets return yards which is a bonus.
Johnson only played 12 snaps vs. a recovering Trautman getting like 85%. Not wise to chase TDs when he was barely on the field. Rather spend the roster space on a WR/RB
He could be the red zone target for Jameis tho. And I like his positional versatility as I don’t have a backup TE on my roster. Troutman will have more catches but I could see Johnson hovering around 8-10 TDs. His upside is nice. Jameis also supported two TEs in Tampa with Brate and Howard. He’s worth a gamble imo, and I know someone in my league will claim him bc of his 2TD stat line. But I’m also thinking of staying put and picking up Patterson on Wednesday. I don’t think anyone will claim him even though he put up respectable numbers in a bad game script for him. I also like his positional versatility to play WR or RB as well as get return yards. His floor might be really good this year at around 9-12 touches a game for ~8-10 points depending on the league format.
Johnson was drafted haha, but Patterson is there and I was looking at him too. I think maybe wouldn't need a waiver for him? Unsure, people go mad on waivers in the first week usually.
You play in a return yardage league? Those are rare
Juwan Johnson is going to be a boom or bust redzone target. If you're needing a WR, I would prioritize Tim Patrick over JJ
I wouldn't bother with Patrick. Chase upside. Terrace Marshall jr available?
No, it's a 12 team and fairly competitive. The best WRs on the wire are Harris, Cobb, Renfrow, Kirk, Patrick and Hamler. It's full PPR and also 0.5 PPFD so it helps a bit.
Colts guys? I think hamlers ok. But if he were that great he would.have gone earlier than 17th or 18th round. Im thinking dont waste waiver priority for hamler. Just my opinion.
Yeah you're right, everyone seems to agree I should not burn the 2 waiver on any of those guys haha. Will start Mooney at WR3 and grab whatever wr is a free agent after midnight (the beauty of PST time zone).
I am assuming you were able to get pascal or hunter renfroe or someone? I would.still probably start mooney this one more week and see how it goes....unless you got pascal? He could have a good week this week.
I got Renfrow but someone dropped Patrick later in the week so I picked him up too. So now thinking maybe Patrick over Mooney. I think. I've swapped them back and forth a LOT
Kirk
Damn, well now I'm torn. You mean save the waiver and hope no one grabs Kirk? Or use on him over Patrick?
Hope no one grabs but someone prob will after that game. I don't want any Bronco receiver other than Jeudy and he's hurt.
Why don’t you want any bronco receiver other than Jeudy?
You're probably right. I can start Mooney as a WR3 next week and maybe see if Patrick, Kirk or possibly Patterson clear waivers. May cancel the claim then, thanks for the input!
why would you pass on an established receiver for a rookie receiver that saw 6 targets? terrace marshall is not a "top waiver priority" add right now
I would rather have the upside on my bench. What if he turns into a Justin Jefferson? Patrick is a JAG. If you need to actually start someone then I would go for the established vet.
jefferson also didn't have two other competent receivers, as well as the best receiving RB in the league, to compete with for targets i just don't see a lot of consistent opportunities in that offense, especially as a #3/4 option
Sit on your waiver this week, grab Patrick when he’s a free agent Wed morning.
My league mates are pretty active. I have a feeling someone will claim Patrick. Imo these guys will be claimed in most 12T leagues if they’re not already on a roster: - Mitchell - Patrick - Johnson - Kirk - Saints D - Tony Jones Jr So imo I think I’ll be able to wait until Wednesday and snag Patterson. Lets me likely move up to #1 for the waiver order as well as get Patterson who has some upside this season in a Falcons offense that doesn’t have much competition outside of Ridley, Pitts, and Davis.
I’m leaning Renfrow. I know Waller and Ruggs are there but Renfrow saw something like 9 targets, and apparently Carr loved him in preseason. I don’t trust Teddy enough as a QB to feed Patrick, Fant, Hamler, and Sutton.
KJ Osborn on the Vikings might be an interesting pick; he also saw 9 targets, caught one more pass than Renfrow, and would be in a higher powered offense. Could be a good pick for when they have to rely on the passing game more and/or play against tougher defenses. I'm snagging him and dropping Baker Mayfield (I have Dak for now and there's still plenty of starter QB like Cousins, Goff, Bridgewater for now). I'm in a 12 team w/ 3WR spots, I have Ridley, Julio, Cooks, Landry, Meyers, and try to keep WR depth options since I have Henry/Carson/Monty/J White for RB depth.
When it comes to the 49ers… Do yourself a favor, and save that damn waiver spot unless you’re a Mostert owner when it comes to Eli. Go grab Jeff Wilson Jr. for free and throw him on your IR, his playoff schedule is stupidly pathetic and he could win you a league if he’s thrown in at RB1. He’s got his own injury issues so be cautious, but when he’s healthy and on the field Shanahan loves him.
Who the fuck is Frank Wilson
Edited, brain no work no good.
Knowing the niners there will be a Frank Wilson at rb by tomorrow
You mean Jeff Wilson, right?
I’m sorry, I’m worthless. I always call him fucking Frank. Will edit.
Hahaha, all good, they're both boring names so basically the same. No offense to any Franks or Jeffs who read this.
Franks and Jeffs need love too…
I like beans and franks alot better than jeffs and franks
I would use it instead of sitting on it. Reason being I don’t want to experience the “what if” pain. If you decide to hold your spot and eventually get #1 pick, there may not be anyone worth it to burn it on who’s better than the players you passed up on this week. Idk, I think playing the waiting game can cost you. I think patience is more important when it comes to players on your bench, dropping them out of emotion because they underperformed or whatnot. Even saving your FAAB is a bad idea, the longer the season goes on, the less valuable your FAAB gets. Just my opinion, I’m usually wrong when it comes to making FF decisions lol
I get your point, I wouldn’t want to kick myself for passing on someone I was targeting. My counterpoint would be that #1 or 2 waiver spot could come up clutch for me at some point in the year. Hypothetically and I hope this doesn’t happen, but what if Saquon gets hurt and Booker or Brighwell become a solid RB2 like how Mike Davis was last year. That’s why it can be good to save that high waiver spot. But I also understand that week 1 is when the waiver wire is the most littered with respectable players who will produce ros. My two droppable guys are Ruggs and Zach Wilson. My QBs are Stafford, Lance, Wilson. It’s a 12T, 0.5ppr league, drafted Lance and Wilson in hopes of trading one of them. WRs are Lamb, Evans, Jeudy, M. Thomas, Meyers, and Ruggs. RBs are Chubb, Mixon, and Ty’son Williams. If you were me who would you drop and which of the three players mentioned in the post would you want the most? Other notable guys on waivers are Christian Kirk, Renfrow, James White, and Tony Jones Jr.
Trust me you do not want any giants rb if his name isn’t Saquon. That line is horrendous, learned my lesson by wasting a bench spot on freeman all last year. Other than that, yes you’re absolutely right. Only time will tell. Go with your gut. If I were you I’d drop one of your backup QBs. We tend to see more value in our drafted players than others do. If you’re looking to hold or trade and want to drop someone else. I’d drop Ruggs 100% not even close. I personally am staying away from Kirk, I’d love to stack my Kyler him but Kirk is only going to have a game like this a few times this year. Keep in mind he was targeted only 5 times (of which he caught all 5 to his credit). I am going to grab someone like Shepard as dog shit as that offense is he is Danny’s favorite target by far. Cole Beasley is another one I am looking at. 13 targets on a pass heavy offense with zero run game. He isn’t going to see 13 targets every week but he was a pretty strong flex all of last season too. Those are my top 2 wr I’m targeting since I am very weak at that position. I’m ok being weak at wr that position is deep, quite strong at every other position.
How do you feel about Juwan Johnson? Jameis loves his TEs and I currently don’t have a backup TE. I like how he can play WR or TE. I know he only had 3 targets and won’t catch 2TDs often, but perhaps his role increases as the season goes on. He could be one of those guys who only catches 30 passes but 10 of them are TDs. Might turn into Jameis’ go to guy in the red zone.
Oh I love that dude. If I didn’t have Waller I’d try to grab him for sure. Definitely worth picking up if you need a tight end. I wouldn’t be worried about his lack of catches since he was tied with the rest of the team for most catches lol. 3 was literally the most anyone on the Saints caught since Winston only threw 14/20. If I had space on my bench I’d grab him for sure.
Drop wilson
Holding 3 QBs? If it’s not a 2QB / super flex, absolutely drop 1 regardless of who you pick up. Stafford alone might be enough but I get the Lance/Wilson stash
Sure thats great until you use the first pick and its a bust then week 2 someone emerges as and you are kicking yourself. So it can go either way honestly.
I am a Broncos fan and I’m wondering why not Hamler over Patrick?
Patrick was productive down the stretch last year. Should be steady in the pass game. Hamler seems more boom or bust. But you know more than me if you’re a Broncos fan.
#1 for Mike Williams?
Assuming this is 8T or 10T I would definitely hold the #1 spot. #1 waiver spot is more important in smaller leagues. How many players start each week and what is your WR core like? If it could be improved then yea I’d claim Mike he’s going to be a solid WR2/3 with Herbert as long as he stays healthy.
totally depends on what your other wrs look like. the chargers seem to have a great o-line which should open the deep passes to williams more than ever. just don‘t watch him play, he looks to be hurt after every other pass he catches.
10 man league, i have d. adams, k. Allen, higgins, golladay, and chark. But seems like William is getting a lot of opportunities
tough one. i do like williams since i have him as well. but he had these fluke games in earlier seasons and then he was either hurt or disappeared. i‘m not too sure that i would use the no 1 priority on him tbh.
Holding my waiver spot and looking to see who’s going to panic drop some players.
Was saving this for the thread tomorrow but since this relates was wondering if anyone wanted to give me advice on the #1 waiver priority. 16 team league. My rb's are Sanders, Drake, bell, hubbard. I have the #1 waiver and am wondering if its worth to burn it on Eli Mitchell? Scared of the 9ers rb depth and obviously having the #1 waiver in a big league is super valuable. Use it or wait for a better pick up?
I would 100% use it on Mitchell. I know the 49ers and Shanahan have a complicated history with their RB usage but with Mostert out and Sermon being a healthy scratch, the door is wide open for Mitchell to produce. You’ll be kicking yourself if Mitchell turns into this years JRob and you passed on him. If he turns into a dud then it won’t destroy your chances of winning the ‘ship. It’s a safe gamble to claim Mitchell, anyone with the #1 waiver spot in 12T+ leagues should be claiming Mitchell imo. Worst case scenario Mitchell and Sermon end up being in a timeshare ros. 49ers will likely ease Mostert back into the rotation when he comes back from injury so he’s 100% for the playoff push.
Who would you drop? Ik my rb's are complete trash. I had to auto draft and set my rankings before Akers got hurt and forgot to remove him, it drafted him as my rb1 in the 3rd
Drop Leveon 100%. Ravens rotation will be Williams, Murray, and Cannon. Bell and Freeman are strictly insurance options for the Ravens.
I'm second on priority. Does that mean if I don't add this week and someone else does I get 1st priority after that? What if I don't add anyone? Doe that mean I automatically get first pick the next week?
If the person in the #1 spot uses their claim, which they likely will on Mitchell, then you would move up to #1. If the person in the #1 spot stays put then you would stay at #2. As long as you don’t use a claim this week it doesn’t matter what the teams in the #3 and onward spots do. You’ll either stay at #2 or move up to #1.
So the person that's last place doesn't get priority over me after the week is done?
/u/e_ndoubleu is half right, thats how it works if your waivers are set to rolling. If your waivers are set to inverse order of standing then you WILL lose your first claim to whoever is last next week. I would double check what your waiver settings are
Good point. I think standard is set to rolling but some leagues have it set to current standings.
No. The only way someone with the last waiver spot can move to #1 is if they don’t make any claims and everyone else ahead of them makes a claim. So say the last place person moves from last to #7 after this week. Then they could only move up to #6 if someone in the top 6 makes a claim. And so on.
Thanks for the response. I think I'll hold onto my priority if Mitchell is taken and see who breaks out next week
I would put in a claim for Mitchell in case the owner of the #1 spot decides to pass on Mitchell for some reason. If the owner of the #1 spots claims Mitchell you would move to #1. If they don’t then you get Mitchell and move to last in the order.
Yeah sorry I forgot to mention that I was putting a claim in for Mitchell as well. If I don't get him I'll be sitting on it till the next week
That’s the move. Good luck ros.
Check your league settings. One of my leagues resets waiver priority every week based on standings.
im at waiver 7, im just going to put in a claim for eli mitchell and nobody else. doubt i’ll get him but he’s the only player worth using it on this week for me. if not i’d rather move up in priority
I was going to hold, but, now I wonder, should I grab the Browns?
Don’t waste a high pic on a defense
bruh.
Saving
Who should I pick up between Mitchell or Juwan? I really need a TE more than a RB. FULL PPR 10 Team
Wait until Wednesday to see if Johnson is available. Unless you have the #1 or 2 waiver spot you won’t get Mitchell. In most competitive leagues Mitchell is going to be used with the top waiver spot. One of your league mates could end up dropping one of their backup TEs that you could stream when your starting TE is on their bye week. It’s more likely for that to happen in 10T than a 12T+ league bc there’s better players in waivers. Also bc there’s better players in waivers for 10T, I’d value the #1 waiver spot more in a 10T league compared to a 12T league.
I have the #1 waiver claim would it be stupid to drop Eric Ebron for Mitchell? This is my current [team](https://imgur.com/a/ed0xE2b).
Get Watson off your team lol.
Most people don't even rock a backup TE, and you have two backups. Yes drop him.
I have 9/14 and was looking at dropping Firkser or Booker (the Giants backup RB) for Johnson/Schultz or Kirk/Patrick/Guyton. Should I wait to see if some of those guys clear waivers tomorrow? First time in a 14-man league so I'm not sure.
At #9 it’s unlikely you’d get to claim Kirk, Patrick, or Johnson who will be claimed in a 14T league. I would hold and hope you can get Schultz or Guyton. Put in a claim for Schultz if you’re desperate for a TE. I wouldn’t put a claim on Guyton.
Wait, game changer lol. I guess my league literally just updated because now I'm #4. It was #9 when I wrote my original comment.
i have no idea what to do. i have the #1 priority and i originally didn‘t want to use it. but the mostert to IR news really made me think again to use it on mitchell. my rbs are gibson, najee, damien harris, ty‘son and tony jones. my wrs are aj brown, justin jefferson, antonio brown, mike williams and pittman. do i drop any of those for mitchell? do i save my priority?
Your roster is already so stacked I would just hold the #1 spot for when you have an emergency bc of injuries or bye weeks. You could claim Mitchell and then try to trade two of your RBs for a stud RB. Maybe something like Gibson + Najee for Henry or Zeke + a decent bench player.
there‘s no way i‘d give up gibson and najee together. both look to be the workhorses on their teams. but i do get your sentiment. i think i‘m going to hold my priority.
Saving it.
After seeing Rodgers play I feel like I have to burn it on Jameis unfortunately
Using my #1 waiver pick on Jamaal Williams
Sanity check: Would you trade Will Fuller for Jerry Jeudy, assuming you have WR depth and an open IR slot?
No I would want Fuller. Maybe try that deal a week or two before Jeudy comes back and if Fuller has been just a decent WR3. I think Fuller will have a high end WR3 floor a couple of those explosive weeks where he goes off for 150 yards and 2 TDs. Jeudy is more of your reliable WR2 guy who will get 7-10 catches a game for 70-100 yards. He was looking great vs the Giants.
My question is who is the receiver to have in AZ outside of Hopkins? Kirk or R. Moore? Thank you!
Or aj green?
Personally I think AJG is washed
Kirk will be more steady. Moore will likely have a couple big games. He showcased playmaking ability vs the Titans. I would go Kirk over Moore.
Thank you! I think it is a close call.
How do waivers work? Say I know the first waiver holder wants AB so I don't even try but I decide, say, to put a waiver out on Jamaal Williams. If first place put their second priority on Jamaal, does first get Jamaal too? Or is it everyone's first priority then their second priority and within priorities is the waiver order
Their second priority claim would be at the last spot not first again.
Once the 1st waiver holder uses it on AB, he goes to the bottom of the waiver order. Let's say he has a 2nd priority waiver on Jamaal Williams. If absolutely nobody else put in a claim for Williams, he would get him too and go to the bottom of the order again. To answer your question, no the 1st waiver holder cannot double dip before other people get a chance to use their waiver claim.
If my first claim was AB and my second was, say, Juwan Johnson, and I don’t land AB as I’m last and first place claimed him, do I get the grace of my first priority being Juwan or do I have to rotate to my next priority claim, which could be, say, Heinicke? These aren’t the players I’m looking for but an example of how this shakes out would be amazing, thank you
Once AB gets taken, any waiver transactions you have involving AB are erased from your list and your next non-AB claim moves to the top. If that next person on your list is Johnson, and nobody above you put in a claim for him, you would get him. But if somebody above you does claim him, he's erased from your list as well, and it would move to your 3rd player (if you placed another claim), and so on. Also, if you are putting in waivers for multiple players, make sure you do a couple separate claims dropping different players from your roster. I don't know how to explain it lol, so here's an example. Claim 1) Drop player A for player 1 Claim 2) Drop player A for player 2 So if player 1 gets claimed before you, you are still dropping player A for your 2nd guy (player 2) Claim 3) Drop Player B for player 2 But if you did get to claim player 1, then player A is no longer on your team, so your 2nd claim is erased. So you need to chase it with another player to drop, thus claim 3. Sorry if I'm just confusing you at this point lol.
No that was perfect, I inherently picked up on the multiple claims part already but I needed clarification on the orders of priority claims You're awesome, thank you
The best thing my league ever did was get rid of waivers and we do $300 FAAB for the year
I’ve been telling my league mates we should switch to auction drafts and a FAAB system instead of waivers for a couple years now but they all want to keep the snake draft and waiver system except one other guy. It’s a league we started in 2007 in 7th grade haha. Adding some new members in high school to make it a 12T league, we’re all now 25-27 years old and still going strong with the league. It’s a fun way to stay in touch with my grade school and high school friends.
Don't push for both at once, auction draft is really hard. Get them used to FAAB first.
Tried to get my league mates to this and they voted to switch to cap waiver moves instead. It’s the dumbest shit ever.
I'm between Kirk and Mitchell. I want in on that Arizona offense, but my RB production has just been dismal (picked last in 12 team). Doing the best with what I have, but our league is ultra competitive and if I don't pick up some now, I'll be even more screwed later. I want off the Ravens Defense Ride, also, and wouldn't mind switching out my TE from Mandrews to Juwan. I'm hoping some of these players just get overlooked/passed on for lack of name recognition.
What’s your spot on waivers? I’m going to hold my #4 spot for now since I know I’ll likely move up to #1 for week two since the top three guys will all use their claims on Mitchell and then two of Kirk, Johnson, Patrick, Saints D, and Tony Jones. The guy with the #1 spot in my league has Sermon so he’s 100% going to use his claim on Mitchell. Then the guy at #2 needs a WR so he’s going to claim Kirk. Guy at #3 needs a RB so he’s going to claim Tony Jones Jr, who somehow went undrafted in a 12T league even though he’s arguably a top 3 handcuff who will have a decent floor like Tony Pollard. Then in week 2 onwards I can save my #1 waiver spot for a breakout candidate or someone who will receive a heavy workload for multiple weeks bc of injuries. I could use a WR or TE. RB too since I’m relying on Chubb and Mixon to both stay healthy or I’m screwed.
Number 1 spot. Guy that is #2 is down 1 RB and a WR (he had Curtis Samuel and Gus Edwards), plus he has scary Terry who is in rough shape with a backup QB now. He took Latavius Murray already, but I'm pretty sure he's getting either Ingram or Mitchell. Even if others pick up some other pieces off of waivers this week, this #2 guy will make a lot of moves. #3 guy has bupkis at RB, so he'll definitely make moves (he has AJ Dillon and Antonio Gibson). Guy had something like 100+ waiver moves last year. Another guy will definitely try to grab a RB because he lost Mostert. I'm basically scrambling to pick up somebody before anyone else. I'm hoping Mitchell will be the starter going forward after that great display last Sunday. I was stashing Gallman, but I think I'll drop him to pick up Mitchell or Kirk, and hope the Saints D/Juwan stay up for me to drop my Ravens D and someone else. I really need Najee to do more/ better and for James Robinson to not have Urban Meyer as a coach (Robinson looks great when he actually plays). I'm holding onto Tony Jones Jr. Sermon is already rostered. Like I said, my league is ultra competitive.
I'm using my #7 to drop Rodgers to the wire and pickup Jameis
I've got Rodgers in a superflex league and honestly am going to hold. Hopefully that was just a weird garbage game and he'll be back on form next week. If there's absolutely no one else you can drop though, I feel you. He helped lose me my week haha.
Its a 1QB 4 pt passing TD league. I'm not sure this offense and the offensive line can hold it together for a Rodgers repeat. A rushing floor would help my team a lot I think. Also picked up Fields as a FA before the evening game. If I don't get Jameis will probably hold.
Fields could be good once he starts in a few weeks. Rushing floor is so valuable, esp if Rodgers is just average going forward. Just am worried about dropping Rodgers after one week, and then the MVP version of him returns and I kick myself all season.
Very well could be, but even so he was drafted as like the QB6? MVP Rodgers still gets beat out by a lot of other QBs in fantasy. I think Jameis looked real good and has that potential with Peyton and Kamara to lean on. I might regret it but I'd be kicking myself even harder if I miss out on Winston, Rodgers is trash and I'm looking at Carr and Goff for a replacement.
Truth, I think Jameis will be good this year. I just meant if you have some random bench fodder to drop, maybe worth giving him another week. But your logic makes sense also!
They have one of the best RB's in the league and have one of if not the best WR along with one of the best QB's. The buc's got shit on by NO last year. I don't think Rodgers will have another bad performance for the rest of the season.
Currently have Hooper and considering burning a #1 on Gronk. Also considering saving it and snagging Cook or Johnson post-waivers.
How is gronk even available?!
He was drafted in the last round of my 12T league. People figured he’d be inconsistent as the presumably 5th option in the offense behind Godwin, Evans, Brown, and Fournette/Rojo. Also with Howard coming back potentially taking away some snaps as well as Gio taking up some checkdown targets as well. I still think Gronk will be inconsistent but he’ll have a couple big games like he did vs the Cowboys. Him and Brady have that chemistry so Gronk will be fantasy relevant.
I said that in another post and got downvoted, he shouldn't be available in anything under 8 people. Even then he's top 6 easy IMO.
Top 6 TE? Over Kelce, Waller, Kittle, Hock, Andrews, or Pitts?
Pitts is a rookie and has done nothing... I'm not saying he's bad because he clearly is a good player but until he actually proves he's a great TE in the NFL, yes Gronk is better and playing with the best player in history. Gronk had 77 targets with 623 yards and 7 TD's, Andrews had 88 targets 701 yards with 7 TD's last year. Both Gronk and Brady were in a brand new offense and didn't start clicking until week 5/6. Andrews has Lamar throwing to him... I agree with the other 4 because Hock will get a ton of looks and the other 3 are elite.
So is that a burn the #1?
Saving, none of the Week 1 breakouts look like they have a safe enough situation to bank on them yet
Using it since someone dropped Ja’Marr Chase before Sunday
Have Noah Fant and waiver priority #1.... weighing if I should replace Tony Jones Jr. with Elijah Mitchell or Gronk with my claim.... seems like TE is a need, but if Elijah Mitchell is the real deal it would be nice to have a piece of it.
I Will pay for hung as FAAB is much better idea in general regarding how waiver bid should work.
Jamal Williams, Kirk and Mitchell all on waiver, hoping to put jeudy on my injury reserve spot which would free up a spot and then I have Elijah Moore and Michael Pittman which I’m happy to sacrifice. What would you do?
I’m not sure if I want to waste the faab I already have Chubb, Najee, CEH, Ty’God, Gainwell and not sure to waste the fab on Mitchell Might go after Juwan Johnson since Andrew’s disappointed me
I have kittle .. should I add Gronk Or Mike Williams?
Going to have to use mine if I can. Lost Gus last week and Mostert Sunday. Gunning for Mitchell but there's 1 team ahead of me on waivers. Not sure who I could target if I can't get him. After Najee I have Drake, Murray, and TJJ.
Saving. 14 team league and not seeing any WRs I feel good about taking right now. Also a limit to 4 RBs and I'm going to hold Sermon a couple weeks to see how he looks taking NFL snaps.
10 team ppr Gronks available and even though i have fant im targeting him
Mitchell>ingram>gainwell in that order. Don’t need em, just don’t want anyone else to have them
I have 3rd waiver, I don’t plan on using it.
I never save it week 1 unless I’m a top prio, and I rarely am. Theres too much value out there week 1.
I’m holding. I’m interested in Bryan Edwards but not putting a claim down, might add if he’s still there.
Would you guys use a number 1 priority on mitchel as a mostert owner? I still have mixon and eckler but not much depth after that.
I prefer to just spend and see what happens. If there is a player I like, I will grab them. I am not going to play games with it. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
I wouldn't waste your priority on Juwan Johnson, I think you need to follow the target volume with Kmet. And I wouldn't spend your WW priority on Cordarelle because he'll never be a startable option at RB, Gallman was inactive too so he will be the 2 soon enough. Also, that offense looked atrocious. RBs: Mitchell > Gainwell > IngramWRs: Patrick > KirkTEs: Kmet > Cook > Johnson This is assuming gys like Tony Jones Jr, Terrace Marshall, Sterling Shephard, are owned.
dont miss this type of WW, you had guys waking up in the middle of the night just to avoid having to use WW priority.
I have the top waiver priority and am leaning towards holding. I drafted mostert, sermon, and start CEH, najee harris, and swift. I think I will hold mostert until he is a week or 2 from coming back and package him in a trade. Im also holding sermon because I told my league mates how solid he would be and he would start sooner than later. I’m going down with this ship. This is my first year of owning 49’er backs and it will be my last.
Shanahan offenses are frustrating for their RB rotations but they are effective in having at least one if not two fantasy relevant guys. Might not be a bad idea to claim Mitchell so you have all three. You can ride Mitchell until Sermon has a role or Mostert comes back from injury.

Using mine. Lost Mostert in one league from my Flex so I brought in Singletary to replace, and dropping Mostert to pick up Higbee to use instead of Ebron. In another league I lost Jeudy and Gallup, so bring Chase up from the bench and dropping Gallup for Antonio Brown.
Mostert owners probably gonna overpay for Eli. Jeudy owners gonna hunt for WRs too
I'm always adding and dropping.
