So the first week of the Waiver Wire is upon us ladies and gentleman.
He’s my opinion on who’s worth the pick up and whos a waste of time
Julian Edelman. This guys is flying onto rosters because of his great week 1. Yes he has experience, yes he is familiar with the Patriots offense, and yes Tom Brady is comfortable with him but no i don’t want him on my team. The patriots are an offensive machine that can turn anybody into a star any given week. There has been plenty of time you see somebody be a huge part of the offense and then disappear the next week. I just can trust who will get the ball in New England. Also, defenses will focus on him a bit more because they will take the risk and adjust if necessary with the Patriots rookies. This is not even factoring in the mess they have at running back.
Julius Thomas. aka Lebron James in pads. This guy is big, athletic, and fast. Great pick up if you still have the chance. Peyton likes his tight ends throughout his career. Thomas won’t put up 2 TDs every game but he will get Jason Witten type of numbers with 30-50 yards and high chance of a TD.
Joique Bell. Reggie Bush already has like 27 injuries. They want to keep Bush as healthy as possible and will split the workload with Bell to lighten the load for Bush. Bell is fast and elusive and with more carries will be an interesting addition to any roster looking for high upside.
Zach Sudfield. He isn’t owned on any league right? Not playing on Thursday and Gronk may be back week 3. Enough Said.
Leonard Hankerson. Coach Mike Shanahan said he need more playing time after one game. Hss he watched him at all last year? Hankerson drops a lot of balls. He’ll get more playing time and then lose it again after dropping balls that could be big plays. Don’t be fooled.
Marlon Brown. Listen they can’t just throw it to Ray Rice and Torrey Smith. They need the slot receiver and Marlon Brown is that guy until Jacoby Jones returns. Good pick up but would never feel comfortable starting him.
Harry Douglas. I never thought a receiver handcuff was possible but it is and its name is Harry Douglas. Roddy White is hurting from an ankle injury and he admitted it’s effecting his gameplay. Harry Douglas stepped up on that explosive offense and took advantage of the extra coverage Julio Jones got. This will continue folks, NOT A FLUKE!
Brandon Jacobs. Okay this is a very biased choice. I loved Brandon Jacobs when he was in New York and now he is back. If he gets just goal line work like before he will start for me and i will get at least 6 points from 4 yards and a TD.
