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.
