Some unexpected players were dropped in my league this week. Wondering which ones to target, rest-of-season-wise.
WR Amari Cooper
WR Sammy Watkins
Pretty sure these guys are better than my worst WR (Maclin). Not sure which one to pick up. Unlikely I can get both and Cooper clears waivers a day before Watkins. Cooper's apparently got a nagging injury, while Watkins' usage has been relatively light so far.
RB Joe Mixon
Cincy seems like a real problem this year, but Mixon's usage is trending up lately. My RBs are really not great as it is (Gillislee, J. Allen, Ellington, and D. Henry).
Cooper comes off waivers tomorrow, while Watkins and Mixon come off Saturday. My initial thought is to let Cooper slide and put waivers in on Watkins and Mixon.
Thoughts? This is a 0.5 PPR league, btw.
