RosterWatch Week 7 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet Now Available

rosterwatch_logo2014

RosterWatch Nation, this is a reminder.

It’s easy to slack off on waivers this time of year – DON’T DO IT! Even as most of us have built juggernauts to this point, it’s still a long season and a lot can happen.

By continuing to identify one or two worthless players at the bottom of our rosters every week, and recycling them into better waiver pickups- we can hedge against injury, impede our opponents from strengthening their teams, continue accumulating valuable trade assets, and most importantly – keep improving our teams.

Make it a habit.

    Is it time to drop CJ Anderson yet? Or do we hold on to him to see if Hillman stays healthy? I have the luxury of benching him as other RBs are Ivory, Martin, Gore, and Duke Johnson (with the loss of Charles). WR are Hopkins, Marshall, AJ Green, John Brown, and Jordan Matthews. Or, could drop CJ for Diggs? (low scoring league, no PPR, more TD dependent). Personally, I’d lean to stay pat.

      Hi Tigers,

      Wow- what a squad. Given your situation- we can see it either way. You have the luxury to wait on Anderson, but if there is a player you really want on waivers- you have the luxury to drop him. Personally, rest of season- we like Diggs better

    Who would be your choice for a bye week fill in this week?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      For a flex? DEF? QB? We like the guys at the top of the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet the most!

    Do you guys believe Denver’s D will hold form or is now a good time to cut bait and start streaming. They are averaging me 29 points/week and defenses are very important in this league but i dont want to get burned by being too attached.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      NOOOOOOO- you must keep the Denver Defense! They are for real, and will be on a lot of playoff and championship rosters! It’s like having an elite RB at your DEF position almost every week- and they have the talent / coaching to maintain the pace!

  4. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

    I’d only hold if you think you might use him over any of your other players during a bye or something

    Do I give up Robert Turbin in a trade offer for Coby Fleener in a 1 ppr dynasty league?
    I am thin at both rb and te.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      No – we’d keep Turbin in that case

    Would u trade Calvin Johnson for ty Hilton and Steve smith I have hurns and aj green as my other recivers

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Can you start 4 WR? Would you start all 4? Without knowing- we would say no- we’re betting on Calvin for the stretch run

    12 team full point ppr league. We must start 2RBs and can start a 3rd RB in the flex. We roster a maximum of 4RBs and have to drop a RB to pickup a RB off of waivers.

    Current RBs: LeVeon Bell, Devonta Freeman, Justin Forsett, Shane Vereen

    Using the waiver wire cheat sheet, the first five RBs available on our waiver wire are Antonio Andrews, Christine Michael, Chris Thompson, Matt Jones, and James Starks. Would you drop Shane Vereen for any of these 5 RBs to be your 4th RB?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yes- we would drop Vereen for all of them except Andrews and Thompson

  8. ↓ Post By minionhunter

    I need a TE since I missed them on waivers and got Michael. who would you drop Hurns, L Murray, Moncrief, D Lewis, D Johnson, C Michael? Would you drop any for Diggs? Thank you!

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Yes – we would drop Michael for Diggs- maybe D Johnson

  9. ↓ Post By minionhunter

    Also would you take the Eagles over the Bills this week DST, I really need to improve that. Falcons are also avaliable this week and look tempting with that matchup.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      very very close call- we’d prob lean PHI a tiny bit- still so many leagues score fantasy defense so differently – we’d see which one has been scoring better in your format. we think Atlanta is an interesting play- just worry because they’ve been bad on the road. Again- we’d look at how they’ve been scoring in your format.

    1ppr league and my rbs are lacy(starks), forsett(j.allen) & woodhead….I think I could use some help. 2 guys in the league are weak at WR (one has Gurley, Sims, Jennings and Lynch……..the other has C. West (KC) for their running backs …My WR are Edelman, Cooper, Hurns, T. Austin, Crowder and Watkins. Could/Should I package something together like Hurns/Crowder for Gurley? I’m not sure….any help would be appreciated!

    Also would you drop Flacco for Hoyer (add/drops $5each). My #1 QB is Ryan right now

    Thanks

      Flemdog- answered this one via email!

    Same league, it’s a 10 team standard league, would you trade rawls to McCoy owner for t Coleman? My Rbs are hill, miller, Abdullah, r Mathews, Rawls..
    Also- I have cooks and another owner wants to trade me jstew for him? My wrs are Julio, mike Evans, cooks, diggs, lafel.

    I’m 2-4 overall I think I need a rb this week with hill on bye..

    1. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

      Rawls to McCoy owner? I’d do the stewart trade with Lafell coming back.

      1. ↓ Post By ea4582

        Yes Rawls to Mccoy owner

    12 Team Standard (Record: 3-3)

    [1] QB: Tyrod Taylor
    [2] WR: A. Brown, Hopkins (Watkins, T. Austin)
    [2] RB: D. Martin, Gore (Forte, Abdullah, Duke Johnson, K. Williams*)
    [1] TE: Barnidge
    [1] FLEX: Hurns
    Bench total : (5)

    1) Just got back to .500 thanks to you guys! Now I could use some more advice with this team as I wasn’t fortunate enough to grab Diggs off waivers but I did manage to add Tavon Austin and I picked up Karlos Williams again. I’ll need to drop someone for a Kicker though and it’s looking like it will be Karlos again as I just found out he didn’t travel with the team to London and also has a bye in week 8, along with Tyrod and Watkins… which leads to my dilemma:

    I’m wondering if I should be picking up Bortles or Stafford considering I HAVE to win this week and Tyrod’s coming off injury and will be on bye Week 8 anyway. I could drop Karlos now for either one of them and then IF you think I can afford to drop Tyrod, then I’ll drop him Sunday morning for a kicker? Keep in mind other QBs available include: Cutler, Bridgewater, Mariota and McCown…

    Other notable guys in FA include: K. Davis, David Johnson, Crowder, Ryan Matthews, Andrews, Thompson, Starks, Malcolm Floyd

    2) Oh and what kind of offer (if any) should I make to the owner of Freeman and Diggs? His team looks like this:

    [1] QB: Ryan (Palmer)
    [2] WR: Julio, Calvin Johnson (Sanders, Diggs)
    [2] RB: Freeman, D. Lewis (JStew, Jennings)
    [1] TE: R. Rodgers
    [1] FLEX: S. Smith Sr.
    Bench total : (5)

    1. ↓ Post By FootballKingz

      Yes- we would prob grab another QB- since you don’t own LeSean – Karlos can be dropped if need be. Should be considering Teddy and McCown too

      There is prob no reasonable offer you can make for Freeman right now. We’d offer Abdullah + Tavon for Diggs if you really want him

      1. ↓ Post By renourka

        So you’re saying Tyrod is droppable?

        Also if I can trade away Barnidge and get Olsen, should I do it? I’m thinking of offering Barnidge, Hurns and maybe Abdullah for Olsen and Cooper? The other team is 1-5 … If I do that trade then it will free up a roster spot so I don’t have to drop Tyrod. Unless you think one of those QBs above are better than Tyrod ROS?

    1. ↓ Post By FootballKingz

      This is an awesome post. Love your username, and would love to know who this is?! Going way back with VY. Just glad I gave you the correct advice!

      NO we would not do this trade! Keep Megatron and Rivers!!!!!

      Good luck!

      -Byron

        Come on, Jets was a dead giveaway. A blacked out Cadillac rollin with the no limit soldiers might help…
        thanks for the advice. Great site been following for a few years, has always had me a step ahead of the rest my money league.

          If it’s the black Cadillac I used to roll shotgun in through the carwash- I know exactly who this is. Cheers brother, and thanks so much for the support. We have a lot of big things in store for our football community. If you haven’t started using the DFS Cheat Sheet yet- I highly recommend it. You’ll win 4/5 if you play the 50/50s. Cheat Sheet comes out on Fridays.

    I was able to acquire Cam Newton off of waiver this week. I have Carson as my starter, and was able to trade for Philip Rivers today. I’ve been trying to get Rivers for awhile, because his schedule compliments Carson’s really well. I’m now torn having these 3 because Cam’s schedule compliments Rivers schedule also. I’m wondering who I should trade away! Do I keep Cam and Rivers, or Rivers and Carson?

    1. ↓ Post By Dorian Colbert

      trade whoever has the highest trade value. that’s probably palmer.
