Why? I have Donnell doing well and Cameron on the way back. Two Reasons:
1. He fills in both Weeks 3 and 4 nicely (Four is Cameron's bye).
2. Trade Bait. If I get 3 stud tight ends, there are at least 3 teams that desperately need one -- including a couple of rookie fantasy players.
The two reasons combined justify a $66 bid...
Kirk Cousins would be a perfect fit for Week 4 (my big bye week). I debated on whether to actually bid or wait til he's on free waivers, but in reviewing the other quarterbacks he's clearly the most desirable on waivers and the best option for me -- I feel more comfortable going after him now rather than after another big week.
0 - 3 ! It was a busy week on the waiver wire...
$100 for the old tight end! Just outbid for Cousins. And $11 for my defense! What's going on here?
The good news that leaves only 3 players that can bid more than me. The bad news is I wonder if I lost a ton of leverage and maybe even an early-season win by not snagging Gates or Cousins (I thought I'd at least get ONE of them).
And so, it's E.J. Manuel as my current Week 4 quarterback...
Manuel goes up against the Texans Week 4. As for now, I think I'm going to use the exact same lineup as last week. Why tamper with success?
