    Gents,

    Last week I picked up J. McKinnon MIN RB and dropped Taliaferro.
    McKinnon didn't produce that many points so I read your Waiver Wire 6 article and saw that Branden Oliver was a must grab in all formats.

    Would you recommend picking up Oliver and dropping either S. Jackson ATL RB, P. Thomas NO RB ( Who had a great week as far as FF points went) or perhaps drop McKinnon for him.

    I experienced my first loss this week and am trying to avoid a second from happening. lol

    BTW - You guys have been great!

    Thanks.

    @MadGreenHatter do us a solid and update your signature so we can give you the best advice.

    People are down on Pierre Thomas and I am not sure why. Obviously he had a huge game this past Sunday and I wouldn't drop him. I Do however prefer Oliver over Steven Jackson and McKinnon. But do wait to see what the grand Master @Greg Brosh says

    @LebaneseFF - Signature has been updated, and thank you.

    I'll wait to see what Mr. Brosh has to say regarding this.

    I appreciate the help.

    As long as Jackson continues to get a bulk of the carries, I still can't say drop him. He's still a decent flex option.

    The biggest reason McKinnon didn't do so hot was because the defense knew they could contain Ponder. I still like him, but Asiata is going to make that backfield murky. I'd rather drop McKinnon for Oliver instead.

    Thomas will be hit and miss, but the Saints still try and use him in the game plan.

    Guys,

    I also think I'm hurting at WR position.
    Garcon can't seem to be relied on as aWR 1 due to Cousins, I have Miles Austin on the bench and I'm not sure I'll ever start that guy. With that said I've listed the top ten WR on the WW.

    Should I pick up and drop Austin for one of the following:

    T Smith BAL
    A. Boldin SF
    Sanu CIN
    Fitzgerald ARI
    R. Randle NYG
    D. Baldwin SEA
    C. Shorts JAC
    J. Hunter TEN
    D. Hester ARI
    A. Robinson Jac

    WW has not gone through yet so seeing as I'm 2/10 on the WW I'm not sure if any of these players will be available to me. Would you be so kind as to lmk who to pick up and give me more than one option in case a player is picked up before I can get to them?

    Thanks!

    R. Randle NYG
    A. Robinson Jac
    J. Hunter TEN
    Fitzgerald ARI
    T Smith BAL
    A. Boldin SF
    Sanu CIN

    I would rank them this way. Maybe Hunter over Robinson, but I don't know how the quarterback situation is going to look.

    Personally though, and I believe @LebaneseFF (skins fan) would agree, i would prefer keeping garcon. but that's just my opinion.
