Waiver pickups

How I'd rank some of the players available in many leagues. (And it's hard to make a list to cover each league, but we'll try). It's only Week 1. Unless you lost someone or drafted a clear bust, you probably don't even need to make a move. But it never hurts to investigate upgrading your last roster spot if you can. This list is not exhaustive; Chris Wesseling will bring you Waiver Wired tomorrow.
Quarterbacks
1. Matt Cassel
2. J.T. O' Sullivan
3. Trent Edwards
4. Kerry Cocktail Collins
5. Damon Huard
Running Backs
1. Pierre Thomas
2. Sammy Morris
3. Kenny Watson: Shockingly available in 1/3 of leagues.
4. Derrick Ward
5. Chris Taylor
Wide Receivers
1. DeSean Jackson
2. Matt Jones: I'm a sucker. Still only a deep leaguer.
3. Bryant Johnson
4. Courtney Taylor
5. Hank Baskett
6. Logan Payne
Tight Ends
1. Randy McMIchael
2. Dante Rosario: Seriously, he's talented. Not a fluke.
3. Anthony Fasano
4. Bo Scaife

I'm with ya Joe, I've already picked up Sammy Morris. Guy is a vulture just like last year, and they'll be forced to run even more than last year now!

Probably time to add Eddie Royal to that list as well.

Definitely Royal ... would you drop Vincent Jackson for Eddie Royal?

Very tempted to drop Ricky Williams for Morris....but still haven't. My other backs are Peterson, Turner and K. Smith, so I should be all set. Still, the Pats are going to have to run to compete now. What to do!?!
