Waiver QB

[gizzil]

Matt Ryan is sitting this week... and... quite frankly, I may want dudes that have friendly matchups down the stretch... So far, my options look like this

Bortles @ BAL (and some nice mathups down the stretch... ten twice, sd, then indy, atl, no for playoffs)

Stafford @GB (then also by and large cake matchups, including 15 and 16 @NO vs SF)

Fitzpatrick vs BUF ( other than @DAL vs NE 15 16 looking good)

Mariota and cutler are avilable, have decent matchups in there but wk 10 and playoff weeks not good


I think probably Bortles, also cuz I have hurns on this team... and oh snap... I would pretty much have to drop Ameer Abdullah, Pierre Garcon, Alfred Blue, Antonio Andrews, Langford cuz its STL next week or Matt Ryan to even make a pickup... Thinking Garcon is the easiest drop here, but I also have Julio on bye and New Orleans has allowed absurd passing TD...

Well first, yes I like Bortles and his schedule, and he is doing phenominally well. Keep in mind Hurns is in a walking boot right now....
As for others....Fitz has bad hand, and looking at surgery, while expected to play...he may get knocked out at any time. Stafford is intriguing with new OC in play....but don't like GB matchup after a LOSS.

I love Mariota and I would play and am in one league he and Bortles by match up.

 

[gizzil]

Mariota is about to play carolina is the worry... and becaus julio is on bye... maybe garcon isnt the drop, i may wanna flex him... since langford @stl and andrews vs car... maybe it would help if i list team... i have until like 3 am to decide and i guess it really is more of a whole team issue this week. tied for first and tryin to run away with it!!!

Okay you have to get a Qb and that has to be Bortles IMO. As for your lineup...yikes. Yes on Gurley. I think you have to keep Lanford in, as long as Forte is out. Hurns is a watch out, as he is in a walking boot right now with a bad ankle or foot. You need to make some moves. I would dump Abdullah and Blue and look to get some Wr help to cover Hurns and Garcon. If talent is there. Hell, I might nab Mariota as well for depth at QB so you can play the match up game with Bortles.

One thing to note: Don't count Tenn as a cake matchup for a QB. Sure, Brees has a career game against them, but they have a top 5 pass defense

 

[gizzil]

Yeah... Had a nice week, still be in first, but definitely worried about Ryan at the end of the season, Langford could lose his job any week, though huge, and Andrews has the same kinds of games Abdulllah was prone to... 0 one week, ten the next, etc... Gore and Gurley may take me through if Thomas and Jones remain respectable... maybe...

 

[gizzil]

Ok, So now I added Romo as well, as muc to block my opponent as anything... but osweiler is still there... So for this week I have

Romo @mia
Ryan vs IND
Bortles thu vs TEN

I am feeling like Ryan is the play this week but going forward prob stick with romo and bottles? especially given bortles playoff schedule, rest of team still looks decent to me


RB Gurley @BAL
RB Gore @ATL
WR Demaryius Thomas @CHI
WR Julio Jones vs IND
TE Walker @ JAX
Flex Langford vs DEN
K Crosby v@MIN
DEF Panthers vs WAS
D Posluszny v TEN

BN Romo
BN Bortles
BN Antonio Andrews @ JAX
BN /hurns vs ten
BN garcon @ CAR -- I can pickup Terrance Williams Osweiler, etc

 

[Phicinfan]

I would go Bortles still, but that is me. Ryan still isn't all that, even when he has a great match up. Until Romo plays a full game, I don't play him

 

[gizzil]

How do you feel about dropping garcon or andrews for n.e. rb white

I would drop Garcon, since DeJax is back, he will get alot of attention. Andrews is still the hot ticket until Cobb gets up to full speed.
