WR, MIA

Had a big game, but small sample size of success.

Roto:
quote:

Matthews entered the game with just ten catches on the season and 21 for his career. He was targeted 14 times by Ryan Tannehill and was easily the quarterback's favorite target. Matthews has taken over slot receiver duties the last couple weeks since Brandon Gibson went down with a torn patellar tendon. Tannehill isn't getting a ton of time to throw week in and week out, so he's constantly forced to throw to his receivers that are close to the line of scrimmage. Matthews, Charles Clay, and Brian Hartline are those players. Matthews is a decent route runner and has reliable hands. His two touchdowns on Monday were the first two of his career. Matthews beat Dashon Goldson for a six-yard score in the second quarter, then walked in untouched from 19 yards out on a screen pass in the third quarter. This will likely go down as the best game of Matthews' career, but keep an eye on him in deeper PPR leagues.


Standard scoring, 14 team league.

Would probably be dropping Nate Washington for him.

Current WRs:
Mega
Douglas
T Williams
James Jones

Other options to pick up/stash:
M Crabtree
M Manningham
S Holmes

You are never going to have to play any of them unless you are in disaster mode.

In this situation, I would go high risk, high potential reward, because you likely won't be playing him unless you hit it big and suddenly he takes off.

I guess Matthews, but I'm not playing him any time soon.

You are playing all your current wrs over him. Might as well go high risk high reward because if he flames out (very likely, in fact almost assuredly). But lets say you catch lightning in a bottle. It might help you...

If not, cut him and try on the next best wr next week...

I wouldn't go for it. He's still a WR on the Dolphins.

So, probably not worth a waiver claim, though?

Just wait to see if he drops through to FA?

I don't see you ever needing to use him in a 10 team league.

Typo, 14 team league

Just looking for better bench depth than Nate Washington. Options are:
R Matthews
M Crabtree
M Manningham
S Holmes
