Need advice big time for waiver wire this week. WHIR

Postby cutiepie80 » Tue Sep 14, 2010 1:53 pm

I am currently #2 on the waiver wire list do to getting second to last pick and I have not used a single move yet.

My team is solid and I got screwed because of Kolb's terrible performance and I started Smith(nyg) over Welker. I only lost by 8, but if Kolb would have stayed in the entire game I would have won.

My question, do I just play it safe and pick up Vick?
Do I pick up B Jax even though I have Foster, S Jax, and Moreno so I have some trade bait and hope I can somehow get Hassleback? My backup qb is Big Ben. =(

Please leave link, I will respond.

Only reason to pick up B-Jax is because of trade bait. If you want, go for that. Who are your WRs? I mean I wish I could tell you something about who to drop but without a roster, I don't know but if Kolb is fine to start...play him. If not, you need to get another guy and Hasselbeck wouldn't be a bad choice.

I wouldn't waste a high waiver pick on vick. I would use it to get a player like brandon jackson who will play all season. There should be other QB's with decent matchups you can get on the WW that will not be as good as vick next week, but I think the upside of getting a full year player like jackson is worth it.

See, here's my dilemma, I am pretty stacked with rb's and wr's.

Here's my team
Kolb/Big Ben
CJ(if his catch is not nullified I win), Welker, S Smith(nyg), M. Thomas
S Jax, Moreno, Foster, LT
WInslow
SF defense
Gostkowski

I could probably trade Moreno/Kolb for Matt Ryan and have Brandon Jackson step in for Moreno as my 3rd rb and then have a choice with Ryan and Big Ben.

As someone else said, Vick probably isn't worth that high of a waiver. Unless Kolb has a complete breakdown, Vick's value will only be significant while Kolb is injured.

Pick up Jackson and look to trade him (or Moreno). I wouldn't give up both Moreno and Kolb in a trade for Matt Ryan though.

Good luck.
