Even right after Claypool’s monster performance, it can be tough to say if he is truly worth utilizing a high waiver claim on. If Diontae Johnson (again) is projected to pass up time, that would boost Claypool’s charm, but if not, he is however a rookie wide receiver who clearly just had his best sport of the period. The Steelers have two other high-target wideouts and almost never toss downfield, so Claypool’s upside is really huge-play dependent. Unless you actually need WR support (or you had Prescott and will need a setting up QB), you might be much better off preserving your high waiver claim for a huge RB injuries. Prospects are, Claypool will be claimed, though, so it may possibly choose a high one particular to get him if you actually want him. Ruggs and possibly Shenault, relying on Chark’s standing, could also be truly worth reduced promises, but until any of last week’s holdovers (specially Harris and Phillip Lindsay) are accessible, this is possibly a week to conserve your claim and go up the waivers purchase. (Update: Mattison is truly worth utilizing a best waiver claim on if Cook dinner misses time.)

We would not go that much, but Claypool is absolutely sure to be the best pickup of the week right after hauling in 7-of-11 targets for a hundred and ten yards and a few scores though incorporating a different 6 yards and a TD on a few carries.

The 6-two, 215-pound journeyman is no absolutely sure issue to keep on acquiring taking part in time with DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (foot) because of again soon, but provided the respective injuries histories of both equally gamers (and relative ineffectiveness around the earlier few seasons), Fulgham is however truly worth stashing. Just after a tough matchup from Baltimore up coming week, Philadelphia has the Cowboys, Giants, bye, Giants, Browns, and Seahawks.

Andy Dalton, QB, Cowboys. Dak Prescott’s period-ending ankle injuries pushes Dalton into a setting up part, and the veteran is more than able of placing up solid stats provided his supporting cast.
