Updated Waiver Picks
After last night's game, decided to update my waiver picks.
Running Backs
1. Cedric Benson: Starters, even crappy ones, are worth owning
2. Ahman Green
3. Fred Jackson: On Pace for nearly 1,000 total yards
4. LaMont Jordan: More likely than Green-Ellis to start for a long stretch
5. Pierre Thomas: Stecker could also get work with Deuce
6. Maurice Morris
7. Kenny Watson
8. Antonio Pittman: On his way back
9. Benjarvus Green-Ellis
Wide Receivers
1. Kevin Curtis: Should return this week
2. Josh Morgan: Has starting job moving forward, high ceiling
3. Greg Camarillo: Why is he still available in PPR leagues?
4. Donnie Avery
5. Donte Stallworth
6. Mike Furrey
7. Antwaan Randle El (For this week against Detroit)
8. Malcolm Floyd
9. Javon Walker
Quarterbacks
1. Gus Frerotte
2. Chad Pennington
3. Jeff Garcia
4. Ryan Fitzpatrick
5. Dan Orlovsky
6. Shaun Hill
99. Tyler Thigpen
Comments
If I already have Desean Jackson, is it wise to still pick up Curtis? Would you ever play them together? Is Josh Morgan really that much better of a pick up than Donnie Avery?

really scrapping that bottom, but really good advice if you need to in deep leagues

OK. My lone QB is Cutler who's heading into a bye week. Free agents are Cassel, Bulger, Fitzpatrick, Seneca Wallace, Flacco Orlovsky, Kerry Collins.
I'm leaning between Cassel and Bulger both of whom have favorable matchups (Rams play the Pats). What do you guys think?

You are right with Cassel and Bulger. Who ever you think will win this one should be the QB you take. With the injury to Harrison in NE, they might be even weaker against the pass. Bulger is the more elite QB so my money would go to him.
He is also working well with Avery.

Mario - First let's talk D. The Rams have actually looked decent against the pass the last couple of weeks. They are getting a better push up front and their corners are playing pretty well. On the other hand, the Pats defensive success against Denver was an illusion. Cutler clearly wasn't able to get the zip or accuracy he usually does because of his injured finger.
On offense, Cassel is improving and he does have Moss and Welker to throw to. But their running game is going to be their focus. And with the emergence of Avery, Bulger has two solid targets, too. I would go with Bulger, without hesitation.

Looking to make a change at WR. My WRs are Colston, Galloway, A.Bryant, B. Engram. Could add Josh Morgan or D. Mason(BAL). Who do you recommend I drop and add if any? Not PPR league!
