Week 7 : Roster Moves : Cecil Shorts

With Victor Cruz and Marvin Jones out for the season, it was time to make my last big waiver play of 2014.  With my $43 I went after Raiders wide receiver Andre Holmes.  "Cat Daddy Dance" made a smart bid of $44, but I wasn't terribly disappointed with my alternate at the same price...

Cecil Shorts, welcome to Team THUNDER!


In his only other game when he was healthy he finished with 14 points and a touchdown on 10 targets.  What's not to love?  Oh yeah -- hamstring issues.

I'll take my chances!  He'll most likely start this week.

There was no reason not to pick someone up off free waivers.  I read some speculation that Brandon Bolden might be a better every-down back than Shane Vereen (in the absence of Ridley).  Somebody fire that writer!  Bolden turned out to be a complete non-factor on Thursday Night and probably will not get an opportunity to start for Team THUNDER.
