Waivers week 7

[ELAYAS]

Ok, so I just want to start by saying (for those who don't know) that I know my league is unorthodox, to say the least (people are rookies in FF, from Brazil). Anyway, I'm trying to take it as serious as possible, so I can gather experience for the future.

So, week 7 I have some guys on Bye, and also there are a couple guys available that I think I should put a claim. Here is my roster (bolded are on bye week 7) and after that, what I'm thinking I should do. Any feedback is much appreciated:

m.ryan / j.flacco
f.jackson / l.mccoy / a.foster / r.mathews / f.gore
g.jennings / m.austin / j.maclin / julio jones
o.daniels / d.keller
a.henery
CIN def

so, I'm dropping henery and CIN, for cundiff (could go rackers, but I think cundiff has the edge) and OAK (best matchup I saw) respectively. I don't think there's much to discuss about these moves, but who knows...

Now what I really think I could use some help (and maybe it's obvious, but I'd rather have other opinions) is this: M.Colston and M.Manningham are both available. I should definitely go after Colston, right? Probably dropping a TE or maybe Julio?

I don't know what I could do with all these guys, since I'm already pretty loaded, but maybe could try a deal for a premium QB.

Sorry about the long post and thanks in advance!

Must be nice to be in a league of only 4 teams and everyone else is a ******.

If you want Colston drop Keller.

Honestly I would try and upgrade your TE spot. You have so many great players but only can play a few each week. Maybe try going after a Gronkowski or Jimmy Graham to make your lineup beast all the way.

Re: Waivers week 7

Freddie J and Gore could be mid round steals, I'll give you that.

McCoy, Foster, Matthews, Jennings, Austin, you'd have 5 picks in the first 2 rounds to get these guys. And somebody dropped Colston??

I hope it's $200 dollar buy-in league. Start shopping for that HDTV you wanted.

Re: Waivers week 7

this question is probably so out of the reality of the other leagues I didn't think ot was worthy for your blog thurm, but feel free to use any part of it (I actually think it might make you lose some credibility with the "regular" FF player that goes to the blog, because is really out of the realm of "normal" ff leagues)

miyagi, I had to autodraft (until round 3) because I was getting home when our draft started, luckily I removed every colts player from the top of my board the day before... of course we are playing this league just for fun, maybe next year we'll start putting some $$ into it

unfortunately, our draft took place at the last available time, which was during work hours for most of us, which led to some (not most) of the mistakes

fyi, my draft was the following (probably some mistakes here too, but much less than my peers):
1 foster
2 mccoy
3 gore
4 jennings (I think if I didn't get home, would end up with 8 RBs)
5 austin
6 ryan
7 flacco
8 jacson
9 daniels
10 mathews
11 ryan grant
12 henery
13 atlanta def
14 keller
15 julio jones

lastly, thurm, thanks for the tip, I know the girl who has graham also has finley and she is hurting in other positions, so I may be able to pull this one

Oh hell yeah!!! Get Graham!!!! Finley is great too though if she wont give graham up and you could probably get Finley for a discount now.

so, I got colston (plus cundiff and oak def)

now I have jennings, austin, maclin, julio jones and colston
any of them sthraight up for graham or finley should be a good (great) move for her, right?
I don't even know how to rate them... austin and jones are the "less good" of the bunch, right? which should I use as a bait for graham?

also, I was talking to the guy who has cam newton... I know he is trying to get better at RB (another position I'm stacked: fred jacson, l.mccoy, a.foster, f.gore, r.mathews).
what is newton value here? straight up for one of them? I have flacco and ryan, so one of them could sweeten this deal (3rd qb would be uselles for me if I pulled this trade) and could try to get PHI or DET def/st (not that I care much about either)...
mind you guys that I could try to get another "top" qb, but haven't explored the options (plus newton don't have the "pedigree" nor the "emotional value" of some others, and is piling up points like crazy)

as much as out of reality these are, I'm trying to understand values, so next year I'll have the xp from this...

What about Damien Williams TEN? Seems like he's been on a run
