Week 8 Pickups

  • SportsAndLady
    I have 2 RBs on my roster, Frank Gore and LeSean McCoy.

    McCoy is on a BYE this week...who should I pick up to replace him? My team is stacked bso it's not terribly important, I just need someone who will get like 7-10 points just this week.

    I already put in a waiver claim for LeGarrett Blount.
  • Gblock
    lynch still out there?

    Sproles got a lot of catches this week if your ppr...

    ladell betts?

    mwelde moore?

    khune from green bay?
  • Blanket

    Really. Someone would drop Reggie Bush??? I find it hard to believe (if your in a competent league) that reggie Bush is available.
  • SportsAndLady
    Bush is not available.

    I claimed 2 RBs, hopefully I can get one of them. LeGarrette Blount and Darren Sproles. My waiver priority is 11 out of 12, so we'll see.
  • Laley23
    I had to trade for Beanie Wells and pick up and proposed a trade for Blount. Im literally better off not playing a RB than picking up some of the guys on waivers. Their chance at negative points is greater than positive lol.

    If Bush is able to play, in ANY capacity, I will put him in my line-up with Wells.

    I have McCoy and Turner on byes.

    Bush is only owned in 67% of ESPN leagues as of now.

    He has been cleared to play but will be limited and there is no way I would play him this week.

    in a ppr, when my other options are Earnest Graham and Mewelde Moore, Ill take my chances. Our league is so deep and people take flyers on RB all the time, even Mike Hart is not available.
  • Blanket
    I agree you have to take a flyer in deep leagues, but with the D he would be playing against I cant imagine he will do much.
  • Iliketurtles
    Anyone wanna give me some advice on what WRs to start? Im leaning towards starting Moss, A Johnson, and Ward.

    Andre Johnson at Indy
    Randy Moss at NE
    Hines Ward at NO
    Kenny Britt at SD
    Steve Johnson at KC

    I also got offered Miles Austin for Jamaal Charles but I rejected it.
  • SportsAndLady
    I have andre and moss..and I'm starting both those guys every week.

    As for the others, def not Johnson..not in KC.

    Normally I'd say Ward, but I think the Saints are gonna clobber the Steelers on SNF for halloween.

    So I'd go Britt. SD gives up mucho points.
  • Iliketurtles
    Yeah S&L thats pretty much what I've been thinking... but normally when guys have the type of game Britt did the next one they for some reason don't do that well haha.

    I dunno. He is going to get a lot of checkdowns, and the like. In a PPR (.5 per catch), Bush is almost always good for at least 6 points, no matter what he does.

    Pick 3 please
    Bowe, Santana Moss, Hines Ward, Steve Smith(car), or Colston
  • pinstriper
    Britt is an every week start right now. He wont have a week like last week, of course...but he's scored in 5 straight weeks, and is the #1 option in TN. If he's on the field, you have to play him, even over Moss, and esp. over Ward, IMO.
    I have Moss/Ward/Britt/Loyd/Crabtree, so I'm making those same decisions.
    I'm going with Loyd/Britt/Moss this week.

    Bowe, because Buffalo is a pathetic defense.
    Moss
    Ward

    But with my luck in helping people this year, Colston will have 150+ and 2 TDs.

    Blount had runs of 43 n 17 called back last week. His stat line should've read 11 carries 130. In 1 half. Good pickup
  • Blanket
    A few questions for spots on my 6-1 teams

    Slot spot, Percy Harvin or Felix Jones?
    WR, Brandon Marshall or Chad Ochocinco and at RB Marshawn Lynch or Felix Jones (Both on the same team)
    WR, Miles Austin or Kenny Britt?

    A sleeper D this week I am taking a chance on in a couple leagues is St Louis

    You and I both but thanks. I sat Colston last week and he finally broke 100 and a td....

    I Picked up Blount and Blair White. I have to choose between those 2, Jacoby Jones, Lee Evans, and Shonn Greene for my flex spot. I am leaning towards Blount, but I'm worried that Manning will have a field day against the Texans defense, making White a good play.

    Manning will have a great game. Worst Pass D in the league on MNF at home. I wouldnt be shocked to see a vintage 5 or 6 TD performance out of him.

    However, Garcon IS playing and so White is the 3rd WR, which could still be amazing. But it was a much easier pick when White was projected to start opposite Wayne.
