    Should I pick up Roddy White for the future??

    The guy who had Roddy White put him on waivers today. I realize he won't be playing for a few weeks, but I'm in need of another receiver eventually, because I also have Cobb who got hurt last week. I play in a 15 person league so receivers are hard to find on the free agent list. Here are my receivers right now: Cobb, Jeffrey, Steve Smith, Boldin, and Broyles. As you can see I basically have 3 receivers. Should I pick him up before someone else does?

    I can't believe someone dropped Roddy White in a league that big.

    Andy, they did a trade giving up Rivers and dropping White and receiving Brady and Chris Johnson. Not sure why they did that though. I'm #12 on waivers, so hopefully no one sees that in 2 days lol

    Good luck. What did he have on his bench? Gotta be some crap there.

    They're crazy to drop him

    I bet you're not the only one in the league who'd put a claim on him

    Ya does he have great trade value? Probably not, but as a free agent pick up? are you kidding? No-brainer. That being said at #12 you have no chance unless you're in a league of idiots.

    Not only is the guy that dropped him clueless, the 11 other guys/gals are too for not putting in a claim for him.

    Good job.

    Yeah I thought there was about a 5% chance I get him. I guess people in my league just assumed he's only going to produce a few points a game the rest of the way, like he has done so far this season. I don't care, good for me lol

    He has been hurt all year. So if he gets back to being healthy, and with Julio gone, he will be getting targeted a lot. I would of jumped on him too. Worth a stash.

    I actually picked up Cobb in the SBR II league, for a playoff stash. I have him in my money league, from the draft, but I'm trying to hold on to him. But I'm in a roster pickle in that league.

    I know he's been hurt all year, I just hope he really takes the time to heal the right way and get back to playing how he knows he can. Also, I currently still have Cobb on my roster. Do you suggest keeping him for the playoff push? I see a lot of people dropping him. I just hope when he comes back, he can contribute still. That would be a pretty nice setup to have Cobb, White, and Jeffrey as my 3 WR's for the playoffs.

    If you can stash Cobb, do it. If it effects you from putting out a strong lineup each week, drop him. Or try to trade him.

    Since WR's are hard to come by, I think I'm gonna keep him and roll with Jeffrey, Boldin, Smith, and now White for the rest of the season.

    He is definitely a good stash in a 15 person league, go ahead and pick him up
