Should I add any of these FA WRs? WHIR

Postby schmidty » Tue Nov 30, 2010 12:51 am

This team is doing ok. 7-5 with a playoff berth clinched. 1st in the league in points scored, but 1st in points scored against (hence the mediocre record). Though approaching the homestretch, I'm not feeling optimistic. Lots of guys appear to have their performance dropping recently (Wayne, TO, Marshall, Bradshaw, Best, ZMiller). And looking ahead to week 14, I have some awful round 1 playoff matchups (TO @ PIT, Marshall goes to Revis Island, Bradshaw @ MIN, Bears vs NE).

Anyway, this is a 12-team redraft. PPR scoring - yardage scoring normal except we count return yards (25 yds/pt). We start: QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, TE, K, DEF. Do you think there are any WR replacements from the WW? This is my team:

QB: Brees
WR: Wayne, TO, Marshall, Santana Moss, Vincent Jackson, Gaffney
RB: McCoy, Bradshaw, Forte, Best
TE: Tamme, ZMiller
K: Rackers
DEF: Bears

If the rumor about VJ being about for a while is true, he's getting dropped regardless. ZMiller is probably droppable as well (Tamme's pretty much locked in as my starter, and Miller is hurt). These are WR eligible FAs:

Davone Bess: he scores well in PPR, and may cover my Marshall injury by being extra-productive while he's out. Though if Marshall's out week 14, he probably gets stranded on Revis Island in his place.
Ben Obomanu: putting up great numbers with Mike Williams out.
Jacoby Ford: probably not on many of your radars, but in a return yardage league he has huge scoring potential. The Raiders have been talking about getting him more involved, and he's had 100+ receiving games in addition to being the main returner for his team.
Nate Burleson
James Jones: juicy week 14 matchup (DET), but with Driver playing his touches may be unpredictable
Sidney Rice: big name, but hasn't done squat since returning.

Who do you prefer of those guys? Like I said, I have some easy drops. At least one for a WR - maybe pickup 2 WRs, or a matchup defense in week 14. Leave a link and I'll answer yours.

It's confirmed that Jackson is out for the season so no question he frees up a roster slot. If you're looking to drop Miller too (which I would probably do myself) I'd pick up Obomanu and Ford. I wouldn't recommend Ford in most leagues, but I like his talent and with your league giving points for returns, I think he's a nice pickup for you. I doubt I'd start either of those guys over Wayne or TO (maybe I would over Marshall) but I think they improve your bench strength a lot.

A little help?

I would pick up Ben and Rice. Rice still has upside in my opinion and is worth a flier. Ben has been producing and it's who I am eyeing this week off waivers.
