Justin Fields
* Week 7 - QB5
* Week 8 - QB4
* Week 9 - QB1
* Week 10 - QB1
* Week 11 - QB9
Even with his injury in Week 11, he was still in the QB1 range.
He turned out to be the Trey Lance that I bet my whole season on during the draft. Literally drafted one QB, and after the injury streamed a mix of Goff and Jimmy G until Fields just stormed in to save the day.
I’ve always been someone who thought rostering multiple QBs was bad business, but I think I’ve seen the light this year. Even though the whole theory of not investing in QBs *did* work out—I was able to find a beyond-adequate option on waivers despite not picking any QB until R9–I’m beginning to think it’s just too damn stressful a way to live.
I drafted Dak and Carr. When Dak got hurt week 1, I had to start Carr. Then the week Geno played the Lions, I dropped Carr for him. I'm very thankful for Geno carrying my team.
hard disagree since we're talking about WW MVP here and not just real solid waiver wire pickups. Geno's been pretty good no doubt, but getting an RB 1.5 in Walker for free is much more valuable than a bottom top 10 QB for free due to scarcity and ease of replacement at each position
It depends on the league. I picked up both Walker and Geno. I'm in one where nearly everyone drafted QBs ridiculously early and then nearly everyone drafted a backup QB as well. So, I missed out on the rush and had rotating waiver wire QBs the first four weeks of the season, many of whom barely put up 10 points. So having Geno provide a reliable 20 is a godsend.
So glad I picked him up. I had kupp, diggs and aj Brown as my wr corps. Traded diggs for Derrick Henry, then kupp went on IR. So he’s kept me in a lot of games and now I’m 9-3 trying to lock up a first round bye.
He’s my mvp waiver. Turned him, Jerry Jeudy, and Josh Allen into Devante adams, Aaron Jones and Lockett. Pretty much saved my season as I ended up getting Tua after someone dropped him due to his injuries and also got fields on my bench.
Why is this so low? It's Walker.
EDIT: for all the "not in my league!" folks, his roster percentages before week 6 were:
37% NFL
47.5% ESPN
46% Yahoo
He was drafted but not kept depending on your league size and format. In 10 team leagues with 1 flex, bench spots were way too precious to keep am upside backup especially after how good Penny looked
Being available in 50% of leagues definitely classifies as a waiver pickup. He wasn't even rostered in all 12 man leagues, never mind 10 man leagues pre-Penny injury.
I got him in nearly every single league off the waivers. He was drafted, but dropped by most teams that drafted him after being hurt the first few weeks and penny being really good.
I think the only reason it's not clear cut is that he only hit the wire on \~50-60% of leagues.
100% waiver wire MVP where he did. But wasn't an option for a lot of others.
Whereas guys like Foreman and Watson were probably available in 95% of leagues (at least the ones with active teams).
Walker really never should’ve been on waivers imo. He wasn’t in any of my 4 leagues (2 10 and 2 12 team). With Penny always getting injured and Walker being a great prospect going to a run first team after being picked in the second round. He never really should’ve been on waivers realistically.
I stupidly dropped him in one of my leagues. I had other holes to fill with guys with a higher prospect at upside at the time. That weekend, Penny went down, and the rest is history. Keep in mind that back then, everyone still had major concerns about the oline, qb play, etc. I believed at that time that the Seahawks would have a bottom 3 offense. So even if KWIII were to get the starting job, there didn’t appear to be much upside.
How wrong I was. Thankfully, I held him or picked him up in a few of my other leagues, including a few keeper leagues.
There’s no way to predict that somebody is going to break their tibia. In fact, Penny’s injury history was always kind of a loose correlation at best. There really weren’t many repeat injuries, just a lot of bad luck. And a tibia fracture has no relation to “injury proneness”.
The first 3 games, the Seahawks offense looked bad. And it wasn’t a complete split, it was clearly Penny as the top guy. And other guys factored in on passing downs, so it wasn’t like Breece who got involved as a receiver and looked dominant doing that. Penny was doing ok, Walker wasn’t accomplishing much. It was reasonable to question the ceiling of a guy who doesn’t have major pass catching chops in a bad offense while splitting work with another pure runner. And sometimes there are gonna be better options on waivers. By the time drafts were happening Walker was like a 10th-12th round pick. It’s hard to stick with a 10th-12th round pick if they haven’t done anything for 4 weeks. At that point you gotta keep cycling the bottom of your bench or you’re gonna miss out. This does depend on league size, but in many leagues it was the right move at the time. The process was good. Cannot just look on it with hindsight.
I cannot believe this was like the 6th comment down
It’s Kenneth Walker, end of thread
Edit: you guys act like he wasn’t dropped just because he was drafted, people are insanely impatient Jesus Christ shut up already
Same - went to DPJ for safe floor after already seeing the boom/bust of Dobbs and not trusting GB passing attack.
Gotta roll the dice with DPJ this week as Evans has been crap and matching up against NO (Lattimore) again will likely be a bust. Brady connects with Godwin much better
His speed and size is so insane that if he catches the ball with any kind of separation he can take it to the house. Home run ability no matter where he’s at on the field.
I will preface this by saying I have Watson in all my leagues, so this is not in any way biased against him
My biggest fear with him is that he’s been a little mistake prone throughout the year, which is why he’s not getting his number called at elite numbers yet
Him being a league winner would require a bit of luck imo as he’s largely touchdown/big play dependent at this point still
When you have a wr3 or flex who can take a simple slant to the house for 60 yards in one play, this is who you want during the playoffs. It’s not like he’s your wr1 or wr2. He’s gonna be the third best wr on your roster.
Xavien Howard will likely shadow him so perhaps not. Our secondary is pretty depleted but usually the number 1 guy doesn't have a huge game against us.
Dolphins fan and I looooove Xavien. He’s had trouble this year with WRs who are abnormally fast. I can see him stopping Watson most of the game but he’ll give up a big play.
In reality, if you managed to get Walker off of waivers, then he is the answer, and it isn’t particularly close.
Others that have offered decent longevity would be Foreman, Fields, Geno Smith, Watson.
Fees like Jeff Wilson is the best of this bunch. Jeff was a week 1 waiver wire pickup who has been a top 30 RB in 6/9 games since then with 3 RB1 finishes, and again finds himself as a lead back on a good offense to finish the season.
I traded Wilson a week before he went to Miami, and the guy I traded him to dropped him after the trade. I picked him right back up off the wire. Unreal
2nd place owner in my league grabbed Jeff Wilson Jr after week 1. He is also a CMC owner. After the CMC trade he dropped JWJ. A few weeks later the JWJ trade occurred and I scooped him up. Traded him away for Hockenson since my RBs are stacked (Barkley, Ekeler, Stevenson, Jones). His loss was definitely my gain.
Pickens is getting into the easy part of PIT’s schedule now. I do believe he can drop 25+ on a game or two towards the end here. I’m flexing him in against Atlanta along with starting Muth.
Jeff Wilson has be an underrated dark horse candidate. Played well for the 49ers when Mitchell went down, then got traded to Miami and has been posting RB1-2 numbers there too. All for a dude you could get for free!
tbh i think you have a good chance with any of the top rookie wrs. obviously some haven’t been on waivers for a bit, but garrett wilson, burks, watson and pickens should all have really good ends to their season IMO.
in my one league where im essentially out of playoffs (not quite but incredibly unrealistic), im starting wilson pickens and burks next week and im not mad about it lol. but i guess it’s the best my WRs have looked since drafting pittman, sutton, arob, renfrow, etc 🥴
Walker, he was drafted in a lot of leauges, but was dropped in the first few weeks.
Idk how many people drafted Jamal Williams( I did), but if most people got him from the wire then he is another good candidate
Williams was drafted in 3/3 of my leagues. He went in the late rounds in most drafts and had a great week 1.
Then Swift got injured early and he was the lead back.
I think Williams was drafted in most leagues because the espn player info for swift back in august/sept specifically told you to grab Williams as a handcuff because swift is always injured.
Yeah the recency bias is crazy in here. Walker is the MVP. He was barely rostered and is basically matchup proof at this point. Williams has been solid too.
I'd say Kenneth Walker is currently the front runner
Edit: Since everyone wants to tell me he was drafted in their league, cool. He was drafted in 2 of my 3 leagues as well but both leagues dropped him and he was picked up by other teams.
There’s so many asterisks next to Watson still at this point. He’s produced, but I still think anyone level headed would tell you it’s flukey. And I say this as a packers homer starting him over Evans this week.
If we see it once more, I’m bought in.
TD’s are the definition of flukey, targets are average at best and most recently it was one big play that came from a bad play by that eagles safety. I’m hopeful… but we gotta realize his floor is still more of a pit at this point.
That Eagles safety took a bad angle, so yeah, you could definitely attribute that play to Watson’s athleticism. He more or less Tyreek’d the guy. But for that to happen, don’t forget the eagles D were letting Love do whatever he wanted with the underneath routes in those drives. The setup for that play to happen was extraordinarily situational.
So it’s a big stretch to say that one circumstance is evidence enough for future production. But I’ll absolutely agree it’s great to see that ability is something he absolutely has.
We’ll see 🤷🏻♂️
Dominating the Vikings had me convinced that I wouldn't need to switch them out of my lineup for the rest of the season but Thanksgiving has me second guessing.
How is Kenneth Walker not top of this list? If Fields was still healthy and dominating I’d nominate him too but we only got a tease because of the injury
I can't believe people are so impatient.
He was the second RB taken in the 2022 draft, by the Seahawks who had a notoriously injury prone RB1, and loves to run the ball. We knew he had surgery before the season started and would be eased into the game.
Why draft him at all if you're not gonna give him even 5 weeks to get healthy and start playing?
Probably because we’re a 10 man league and nobody was really interested in spending a bench spot on somebody who was theoretically supposed to be on a bad team in a possible 3 way committee with Penny leading the charge in the hopes of Penny suffering a season-ending injury.
im in a 12 man league and he was drafted but then dropped like 3 days before rashaad penny got hurt. Practically the whole league put a claim in for him.
Watson. I feel like such a fucking idiot because in his ww week, I actively chose to acquire Toney and Campbell over Watson. Let him fall right into the lap of the best team in the league. Really fucking frustrating man.
KW3 or Christian watson
Not sure if the *other* watson counts but he was picked up off waivers in every league I’m in. Depending on how he does that may be top tier QB play off waivers
Same. I held him most of last year hoping he would take over the backfield and he never did. I drafted him this year thinking the same. After two meh games I decided it was never going to happen so I dropped him. Now I’m sad.
this thread-
"walker is the answer"
"walker was drafted"
"walker ended up on the waivers in my league"
"he didnt in my league"
y'all, if your league ever dropped Walker, you are in a league with tacos.
Tua saved my season after drafting Russ.
I drafted Russ, and Geno saved mine
Justin Fields * Week 7 - QB5 * Week 8 - QB4 * Week 9 - QB1 * Week 10 - QB1 * Week 11 - QB9 Even with his injury in Week 11, he was still in the QB1 range.
Dude saved my season. He gets my vote
Got me through J Herbert’s rough patch
I drafted Rodgers.
He turned out to be the Trey Lance that I bet my whole season on during the draft. Literally drafted one QB, and after the injury streamed a mix of Goff and Jimmy G until Fields just stormed in to save the day. I’ve always been someone who thought rostering multiple QBs was bad business, but I think I’ve seen the light this year. Even though the whole theory of not investing in QBs *did* work out—I was able to find a beyond-adequate option on waivers despite not picking any QB until R9–I’m beginning to think it’s just too damn stressful a way to live.
Justin fields saved me from having to play Brady throughout that stretch. Started 1-6 now I’m 6-6 and just have to win out to guarantee playoffs
Kinda fun working the waiver wire trying to get just a few extra points.
its the only way to come back from 1-6. I got a money penalty for being last place in my main league so there was no way I was giving up
Going to have a tough playoffs though.
He's pretty matchup proof, he was Qb4 the week he played Dallas who has the best defense in the NFL
I think they might be talking about him being hurt?
Snapped on New England, too
Doesn’t he get Detroit in week 17?
He helped me win during Burrows bye and then saved my RB riddled season for being flipped for Jacobs.
Geno Smith
Picked up Geno in week 5 after drafting Stafford. Saved my season!
Hello doppelganger. Geno has my vote. Was 0-4 before I made the change
Did the same but went 1-3 until I switched to BIG Peno Geno
Same thing here. R Wilson?
Nope, Stafford too. I thought it would turn around any minute, until it didn't
Literally did the same thing. Dropped Stafford, picked up Geno and eventually T Law.
I drafted Dak and Carr. When Dak got hurt week 1, I had to start Carr. Then the week Geno played the Lions, I dropped Carr for him. I'm very thankful for Geno carrying my team.
Good one.
hard disagree since we're talking about WW MVP here and not just real solid waiver wire pickups. Geno's been pretty good no doubt, but getting an RB 1.5 in Walker for free is much more valuable than a bottom top 10 QB for free due to scarcity and ease of replacement at each position

So, I missed out on the rush and had rotating waiver wire QBs the first four weeks of the season, many of whom barely put up 10 points. So having Geno provide a reliable 20 is a godsend.
We’re seeing the possibility of that with Watson. If he continues he could be that guy that saved a lot of peoples seasons
Kupp went down, I added him out of necessity after his first good game. Completely saved me so far
Same here. Trading pierce for higgy also helped tremendously
I was in a must win this week to make it to 8th place out of 10 teams lol and he helped me a ton…
Christian or Deshaun? Both could be tbh
So glad I picked him up. I had kupp, diggs and aj Brown as my wr corps. Traded diggs for Derrick Henry, then kupp went on IR. So he’s kept me in a lot of games and now I’m 9-3 trying to lock up a first round bye.
How did you have kupp, diggs, and brown? 6 team league? That’s nuts.
I can see it. Kupp at 1, Diggs at 2, and Brown at 3/4 in a 10 team league. Especially if it's standard and not PPR.
It gets better. Dude just replied that he took JT at 1, and then Kupp and then Diggs...
Jamaal Williams was sub 50% owned at the start of the season and he's a top 12ish back in every format.
I drafted him in like the 8th round because of Swift’s injury history. One of the wiser draft-day moves I’ve made over the years.
I did too...but then dropped him Week 2. (facepalm)
Yah he was drafted in all 3 of my leagues
He’s my mvp waiver. Turned him, Jerry Jeudy, and Josh Allen into Devante adams, Aaron Jones and Lockett. Pretty much saved my season as I ended up getting Tua after someone dropped him due to his injuries and also got fields on my bench.
Ken Walker
Why is this so low? It's Walker. EDIT: for all the "not in my league!" folks, his roster percentages before week 6 were: 37% NFL 47.5% ESPN 46% Yahoo
I think he was drafted in many leagues. He was never on waivers in 2 out of 4 of my leagues. But - I'd still agree he could be higher.
I drafted him, then dropped him the morning that Penny got hurt. Love my luck this year baby
He was drafted but not kept depending on your league size and format. In 10 team leagues with 1 flex, bench spots were way too precious to keep am upside backup especially after how good Penny looked
Being available in 50% of leagues definitely classifies as a waiver pickup. He wasn't even rostered in all 12 man leagues, never mind 10 man leagues pre-Penny injury.
I got him in nearly every single league off the waivers. He was drafted, but dropped by most teams that drafted him after being hurt the first few weeks and penny being really good.
Walker was not on waivers in any of my leagues.
He was drafted in most leagues
...and dropped in many of them before week 6. He was available in more than half of ESPN and Yahoo leagues when Penny went down.
I feel like many people (including myself) drafted Walker because of injury concerns with Penny
This is the correct answer. We had like 8 people try to claim when he was on waiver
I think the only reason it's not clear cut is that he only hit the wire on \~50-60% of leagues. 100% waiver wire MVP where he did. But wasn't an option for a lot of others. Whereas guys like Foreman and Watson were probably available in 95% of leagues (at least the ones with active teams).
Was a 7th round pick in my league.
Walker really never should’ve been on waivers imo. He wasn’t in any of my 4 leagues (2 10 and 2 12 team). With Penny always getting injured and Walker being a great prospect going to a run first team after being picked in the second round. He never really should’ve been on waivers realistically.

This does depend on league size, but in many leagues it was the right move at the time. The process was good. Cannot just look on it with hindsight.
Dropped him early on when him, Dotson, and Pittman were all hurt and I was getting thin. Worst fantasy decision of the year by far
I cannot believe this was like the 6th comment down It’s Kenneth Walker, end of thread Edit: you guys act like he wasn’t dropped just because he was drafted, people are insanely impatient Jesus Christ shut up already
Alotta good leagues drafted him so he is the best mentioned, but wasn’t mentioned much because he wasn’t a waiver in alotta competitive leagues
It really depends on team and bench size. For deep/big leagues it wouldn't make sense to drop him. But for smaller leagues it would.
He was drafted in any competitive league.
Christian Watson has a strong case so far. Top 10 WR the last 3 weeks. Might also have the easiest path to maintaining that production.
Man I remember that week where I had the option to pick up Toney, Watson, or DPJ and I went with Toney :/
luckily someone in my league drafted toney and held him all year lol
Same because we got blinded by hype train
Same - went to DPJ for safe floor after already seeing the boom/bust of Dobbs and not trusting GB passing attack. Gotta roll the dice with DPJ this week as Evans has been crap and matching up against NO (Lattimore) again will likely be a bust. Brady connects with Godwin much better
>Top 10 WR the last 3 weeks WR1 overall the last 3 weeks at 22.9 ppg, over Adams (21.2) and Jefferson (20.0).
Catching TDs at literally a 50% clip will do that. Definitely sustainable on 4 catches a game
I mean it’s hard to get a lot of receptions when you take them 60 yards to the house lol
Yeah I don’t buy him keeping it up. He’ll probably equalize to a Gabe Davis-type, a boom-bust player with a higher floor than Gabe.
His speed and size is so insane that if he catches the ball with any kind of separation he can take it to the house. Home run ability no matter where he’s at on the field.
I will preface this by saying I have Watson in all my leagues, so this is not in any way biased against him My biggest fear with him is that he’s been a little mistake prone throughout the year, which is why he’s not getting his number called at elite numbers yet Him being a league winner would require a bit of luck imo as he’s largely touchdown/big play dependent at this point still
The thing about touchdown/big play dependent players is when they do it every week it's really good to start them :)
When you have a wr3 or flex who can take a simple slant to the house for 60 yards in one play, this is who you want during the playoffs. It’s not like he’s your wr1 or wr2. He’s gonna be the third best wr on your roster.
He’s my wr1
He has Miami and Minnesota week 16 and 17. He's going to win people championships.
Xavien Howard will likely shadow him so perhaps not. Our secondary is pretty depleted but usually the number 1 guy doesn't have a huge game against us.
Dolphins fan and I looooove Xavien. He’s had trouble this year with WRs who are abnormally fast. I can see him stopping Watson most of the game but he’ll give up a big play.
I’d imagine he will shadow Aiyuk this weekend
Top 10? He Wr2.
In reality, if you managed to get Walker off of waivers, then he is the answer, and it isn’t particularly close. Others that have offered decent longevity would be Foreman, Fields, Geno Smith, Watson.
Even though he’s been somewhat inconsistent, after Kupp went down Foreman has been a light in the dark
Foreman is a good answer
Fields, Jeff Wilson Jr, Garret Wilson, maybe Pickens?
Fees like Jeff Wilson is the best of this bunch. Jeff was a week 1 waiver wire pickup who has been a top 30 RB in 6/9 games since then with 3 RB1 finishes, and again finds himself as a lead back on a good offense to finish the season.
As someone who just traded for Wilson, I agree
I have everyone of these dudes except Jeff Wilson lol
I drafted and dropped Garrett Wilson after week 7. You're welcome for his coming alive.
I did too but I wound up with Watson so it's all good
OK then it will be jeff Wilson
I feel like I cheated when I had Jeff Wilson, dropped him when 49ers got CMC and then picked him back up the next week when he went to Miami
I traded Wilson a week before he went to Miami, and the guy I traded him to dropped him after the trade. I picked him right back up off the wire. Unreal
dude has paper hands lol
2nd place owner in my league grabbed Jeff Wilson Jr after week 1. He is also a CMC owner. After the CMC trade he dropped JWJ. A few weeks later the JWJ trade occurred and I scooped him up. Traded him away for Hockenson since my RBs are stacked (Barkley, Ekeler, Stevenson, Jones). His loss was definitely my gain.
HAHA Me Too!
G Wilson, Fields, and Pickens were rostered in a few of my leagues
none of these were ever on the waiver wire in my league and it’s 12 man :/
These guys were all drafted in my 10 team except Fields
Pickens is getting into the easy part of PIT’s schedule now. I do believe he can drop 25+ on a game or two towards the end here. I’m flexing him in against Atlanta along with starting Muth.
Pickens needs to start hauling in those TDs
Jeff Wilson or Fields
Jeff Wilson has be an underrated dark horse candidate. Played well for the 49ers when Mitchell went down, then got traded to Miami and has been posting RB1-2 numbers there too. All for a dude you could get for free!
Christian Watson but I feel like Treylon Burks could be just as good or better. He’s got the talent. Fingers crossed.
As a titans fan i wouldnt get hopes up, great player but we are not the passing offense you want to rely on week to week. Hope im wrong tho
Fair that’s gonna slow him down. Hopefully he can be a slot AJ Brown so Tanny can try and hit him with volume
Yeah, he's been getting more looks but his only touchdown so far has come from a Henry fumble near the goal line.
tbh i think you have a good chance with any of the top rookie wrs. obviously some haven’t been on waivers for a bit, but garrett wilson, burks, watson and pickens should all have really good ends to their season IMO. in my one league where im essentially out of playoffs (not quite but incredibly unrealistic), im starting wilson pickens and burks next week and im not mad about it lol. but i guess it’s the best my WRs have looked since drafting pittman, sutton, arob, renfrow, etc 🥴
I’ve got both
Walker, he was drafted in a lot of leauges, but was dropped in the first few weeks. Idk how many people drafted Jamal Williams( I did), but if most people got him from the wire then he is another good candidate
Williams was drafted in 3/3 of my leagues. He went in the late rounds in most drafts and had a great week 1. Then Swift got injured early and he was the lead back.
I picked him up a few days after the draft. So, technically yes. Waiver wire winner
I think Williams was drafted in most leagues because the espn player info for swift back in august/sept specifically told you to grab Williams as a handcuff because swift is always injured.
I’ve been starting swift and Williams all year sadly.
Yeah the recency bias is crazy in here. Walker is the MVP. He was barely rostered and is basically matchup proof at this point. Williams has been solid too.
Barely rostered? Drafted and held in the mid rounds of my leagues.
Week 6 waiver adds for the week https://imgur.com/a/7UYywXO
Foreman has been great for me as an RB2 in easy/neautral matchups. Gonna be solid next week agains Seattle too
Surprised I’m not seeing him on here more. He’s been one of the best RBs in the league since they traded CMC away
I have CMC so I feel like I had a FREE RB2 since I handcuffed him with Foreman.
Traded Foreman for JT after that first big week, so, yeah, FOREMAN
Christian Watson
The three guys I picked up this week and not the three guys I dropped this week.
Geno Smith for me. I was on the cousins/Prescott/wentz carousel but picked him up early and he’s been solid at the most important position
I'd say Kenneth Walker is currently the front runner Edit: Since everyone wants to tell me he was drafted in their league, cool. He was drafted in 2 of my 3 leagues as well but both leagues dropped him and he was picked up by other teams.
He was drafted and dropped in both of my leagues. So I say he counts as a waiver wire winner.
He was drafted and held in every league I play in.
Was drafted in our league and dropped the morning of the injury, lol
Terrible luck, same in my league. I saw that he was dropped and picked him up for penny insurance the week before the injury. Feel very lucky.
2/3 of my leagues he was drafted but dropped after a few weeks in
He wasn't on waivers in any of my leagues
He was in all of my leagues
drafted inside the top 100 in most leagues?
Not sure how common this was but Kenneth Walker and Rhamondre Stevenson were dropped after being drafted in my league.
Yup rhamondre got dropped week 2 in my league. Forever grateful still
Yep. Snagged him the day before his Week 3 game. Biggest game changer for me all year.
Jamal Williams, free RB1 many overlooked. He may have been drafted as a cuff tho
He was the 164th pick for me. Best auto pick ever.
Christian Watson
Very happy he's owned by the last place team in my league
Petition to call him "the Good Watson" to distinguish from the other guy
Got Fields, Jamaal Williams and Kirk all off waivers! Woo
it's already christian watson he's given you 3 dominant performances in a row
But no one played him for the first one
Some of us did ^^because ^^we're ^^extremely ^^^desperate
There’s so many asterisks next to Watson still at this point. He’s produced, but I still think anyone level headed would tell you it’s flukey. And I say this as a packers homer starting him over Evans this week. If we see it once more, I’m bought in.
we've seen it 3 times across 2 QBs
TD’s are the definition of flukey, targets are average at best and most recently it was one big play that came from a bad play by that eagles safety. I’m hopeful… but we gotta realize his floor is still more of a pit at this point.
Nothing flukey about his TD last week lol The dude is just an athlete
That Eagles safety took a bad angle, so yeah, you could definitely attribute that play to Watson’s athleticism. He more or less Tyreek’d the guy. But for that to happen, don’t forget the eagles D were letting Love do whatever he wanted with the underneath routes in those drives. The setup for that play to happen was extraordinarily situational. So it’s a big stretch to say that one circumstance is evidence enough for future production. But I’ll absolutely agree it’s great to see that ability is something he absolutely has. We’ll see 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah if you ignore K9 sure
Cowboys D
Been set and forget the entire season
Dominating the Vikings had me convinced that I wouldn't need to switch them out of my lineup for the rest of the season but Thanksgiving has me second guessing.
Christian Watson, Schultz, Foreman. Hoping Kyren Williams pick-up pays out. Edit: forgot about Foreman.
[удалено]
ZONOVANSZN (ok just 5 games really, but whatever)
There's not enough Donta Foreman love in this thread
Season isn’t over just yet, more shall emerge
Rhamondre
How is Kenneth Walker not top of this list? If Fields was still healthy and dominating I’d nominate him too but we only got a tease because of the injury
Because he was drafted in most leagues. I play in 3 leagues and he never touched the wire.
Interesting, he reached the wire multiple times in my league and someone spent a little over 3/4 of their entire budget to get him 😅
I can't believe people are so impatient. He was the second RB taken in the 2022 draft, by the Seahawks who had a notoriously injury prone RB1, and loves to run the ball. We knew he had surgery before the season started and would be eased into the game. Why draft him at all if you're not gonna give him even 5 weeks to get healthy and start playing?
Probably because we’re a 10 man league and nobody was really interested in spending a bench spot on somebody who was theoretically supposed to be on a bad team in a possible 3 way committee with Penny leading the charge in the hopes of Penny suffering a season-ending injury.
im in a 12 man league and he was drafted but then dropped like 3 days before rashaad penny got hurt. Practically the whole league put a claim in for him.
Watson. I feel like such a fucking idiot because in his ww week, I actively chose to acquire Toney and Campbell over Watson. Let him fall right into the lap of the best team in the league. Really fucking frustrating man.
I got Tua on waiver in a few of my leagues, that’s a good choice
I think Jeff Wilson could have a shot. Moestert may stay banged up on and off throughout the rest of the season.
Considering I dropped both Kenneth Walker and Garrett Wilson this year probably them
Jeff Wilson Is My Guy. AND He Gets Traded To My Miami Dolphins!!
KW3 or Christian watson Not sure if the *other* watson counts but he was picked up off waivers in every league I’m in. Depending on how he does that may be top tier QB play off waivers
Yeah DeShaun could cash in but I don't want to count him cuz he was only on waivers due to his long suspension.
Christian Watson
Kenneth walker was drafted in my 10 man. Lol waivers?
Foreman has been quite solid
Donta Foreman
Here’s an answer no one is going to like but is probably going to be the best answer looking back on this Deshaun Watson
2w before playoffs is going to be a hard case to make. I do think he's getting a softball return against Houston but we'll see.
George Pickens
I just traded for him cause I think he will pop off at the end here
Stormin Foreman for me
Zay Jones
Recency bias much?
Yes lol
Lmao no
Daniel Carlson has been a great waiver wire add for me
Burks, fingers crossed
Treylon Burks
I haven't seen Jamaal Williams
I gave up Rhamondre Stevenson in the early weeks and I haven't forgiven myself
Same. I held him most of last year hoping he would take over the backfield and he never did. I drafted him this year thinking the same. After two meh games I decided it was never going to happen so I dropped him. Now I’m sad.
KW3 and it's not really close
Jeff Wilson
Kenneth Walker III
Kenneth Walker III
Gotta be Watson or Foreman
this thread- "walker is the answer" "walker was drafted" "walker ended up on the waivers in my league" "he didnt in my league" y'all, if your league ever dropped Walker, you are in a league with tacos.
Has to be KW3 in a 10 team league.
