Had the top waiver claim this week. Dropping Jared Cook for Martellus Bennett as my backup TE / might start based on matchups (current starter is Gresham).

I'd hold off on that until we see Cook play. I really like Cook this year and think he can be a top 10 guy.

You can't get too up or down based on the first game.

Can't tell if someone is gonna waste their waiver claim on Ogletree or if he is legit this year.

I think he may be a one hit wonder. I mean last year he had 15 catches for 164 yards for the season! He almost matched that in one game. I think he might not be a terrible depth pick up since Bryant and Austin do get banged up, but I wouldn't expect it every week. Plus, you figure Witten will be more involved than last night.

I know they want to get Phillips involved in the passing game too, at least to more of an extent than Bennett was for them.

Well that was a great 'calculated' gamble to start Witten last night, sighs

Hail.

I forgot that I had David Wilson starting, I meant to throw in Toby Garehart but forgot. I just know that he is going to go off on Sunday now.

Haha, off to an "eh" start, I guess. Two guys I was playing against had Romo as a starter, which hurt. Murray, who I have in 2 leagues, did well, but a TD would have been really nice.

I had Nicks in one league while the other guy had Eli, that went ok, since they both underperformed. In another my opponent had Nicks and I had Murray, so I've got an advantage there I guess.

But yeah, Ogletree was trying out for the Robinson role last night, and it looks like he's getting it so far.

PPR league, need 1 more starter.... Trent Richardson, Alfred Morris or Peyton Hillis? Please help.

I'd lean toward Hillis. I can see him getting a TD and like 50yds

[The Evil Genius]

I agree - although it's worth noting that Atlanta (Hillis's opponent on Sunday) was the 6th ranked D last year against the rush.

[Zhouse]

Go with Hillis

[herrmag]

Have the following 4 RB's and 3 can play with one as flex.

LeSean McCoy (duh)
Jamaal Charles
Steven Jackson
Toby Gerhart

I had McCoy, Charles and Jackson starting, but now with AP limited this week, was considering putting in Gerhart for Jackson. Thoughts?

Put a waiver claim in for Rashard Mendenhall, dropping my sleeper Randall Cobb. Putting this in writing so if it bites my ass I can come back to this in a few weeks.

[earl]

thanks guys

That's not a bad move. I like Cobb but how consistent is he gonna be? He's behind too many other good WR's. Mendenhall on has a higher upside…he was drafted in both of my leagues
