Adam Thielen
Paul Richardson

Marqise Lee

I'm targeting these guys everywhere and most can be had for under their true market value, IMO.

Are you looking for performance this year? If yes, then Murray and Hill for sure. Also look for the Jets RB Elijah McGuire or Philly's WR Mack Hollins. NYJ QB Petty might be worth a shot.

If you can Taxi or IR stash, grab Davis Webb or Josh Dobbs and wait. Bridgewater should also be high on your list of future QBs. Enunwa , C-Michael, D.Booker, would also make good stashes.
THE PYRATES. Terrorizing this league since 2006 - Playoffs (06,07,10,11,13-16,18, 19)
4 Division titles, 5 Superbowls (2006, 2013-2016), 2013 CCFL Champions

QB: D.Watson, T.Bridgewater, C.Newton, AJ.McCarron, J.Hurts-R
RB: D.Henry, K.Drake, A.Dillon-R, D.Evans-R, R.Armstead, D.Lewis, F.Gore, B.Hill, D.Williams, D.Dallas-R,
WR: M.Evans, J.Smith-Schuster, C.Ridley, C.Kirk
TE: T.Kelce, C.Herndon
K: M.Gay, M.Prater
DEF Texans, Seahawks


14-team, 2 division, non-ppr with salary caps. Starts 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, K, DST
Pillage FIRST! THEN burn. Doing it the other way around is pointless.

Wow, I'm worried about Treadwell, but a 4th is crazy. Maybe I should go shopping...

Josh Gordon - this guys is still trying to get back into the league and it sounds like he made some type of deal with Goodell to go to rehab in order to get reinstated in a month. We know from last pre-season that this guy still has tools to be one of, if not the most athletic WR in the NFL right now at the ripe age of 26.

Yet he's almost free in every league. Even if there is a 15% chance at him getting re-instated, thats still a cheap 15% chance for a WR1 or if you're not confident in him, you could easily sell him at WR2 prices the moment he gets reinstated.

Daryl Washington was as good at LB as Gordon was at WR. Maybe better.

He got reinstated months ago, and hasn't sniffed a chance at a roster.

Daryl Washington is also 30 years old (no idea what shape / playing ability he has) and a domestic abuser (much worse PR hit than weed smoker / alcohol abuser in the eyes of an NFL GM).

Josh Gordon is 26 and is still an athletic freak that can immediately upgrade any team's WR corp. If he actually gets clean and changes his life around, I don't see why a team wouldn't take a chance on him.

Great points. I'm on that bandwagon too. Scooped him up after my dynasty start up draft on the FA. Hold him for a month and see what happens. Could be a steal, and a difference maker.

Doug Baldwin and TY big buy low options for me. Certainly at the higher end, but can often buy a WR1 for WR2 prices. For some reason, they just don't get a lot of love
