#1 on WW...pick up Forsett or Snelling?

Postby Luca Brasi » Tue Nov 17, 2009 10:29 am

I have the number one waiver pick this week and I want to bolster my running game. Should I pick up Forsett or Snelling?

Thanks! WHIR

Snelling. If Turner has a high ankle sprain those usually take a little longer to recover from and his match ups are better. Forsett also plays Minn in the only game he is guaranteed to see a lot of actions in and I'm not starting a 195 lb rb against that defense.

Depends what you're looking for. The first response is absolutely right in the short term, but over the long haul, the Falcons will not only have Turner coming back but Norwood too. I think Forsett has the higher ceiling, with the caveat that Minnesota is obviously a rough matchup for Wk. 11.

Agree that it depends on how long you would use him. 1 week, Snelling, but Forsett has way more upside. Heck, Norwood has more long term upside than Snelling if Tunrer is out awhile.

help?

Why does everyone seem to think that Norwood will get more carries than Snelling? Hasn't Norwood been injured for weeks? What has he shown to earn a start over Snelling? I just don't get it.

Thanks for the help ;-D
