M. Vick for $71 is the lowest I have seen so far.
Does anyone know if the other bids will be up or even second bid. Last year we saw the 2nd highest , but no name.

Send me a pm when a sure thing comes along on the waiver wire. One guy who is a very good FF player bid 985 on Clayton in the classic. I respect him for taking a shot. I can remember several years when I kept my money and wish I would have put in a "crazy" bid for some no name player that ended up breaking out that year.
Wayne [/QUOTE]I'm certainly not advocating saving your money, but this is Mark Clayton for God's sake. He's a 28 year old WR with a rookie QB and a track record of mediocrity who had a fluky week. Spending $985 on him is dumb under any circumstance.

[/QUOTE]I"m sure you know more about it than I do but every year somebody ends up breaking out and the person buying that player is criticized for spending too much. Heck, if I knew it was going to be Clayton I would have bid $1,000 on him. I bid anywhere from about 70 to 500 depending on my need at WR. I guess that just makes me half dumb! Now I"m really hoping he goes off this year!!! Hehe

Week 1 FAAB
I think we generally see more RBs pop up on waivers as the season goes on as starters go down and we then learn who the RB4s on NFL teams are. But in the first couple weeks, a lot of receivers tend to breakout or get opps due to injury (i.e. 2008 Lance Moore and Breaston, last year Garcon, Wallace, etc.).
I don't have a problem blowing big chunks early and just saving enough to get through bye weeks. I've kicked myself more than once for cheaping out early and watch guys breakout on someone else's team.
Hence, our spending over $200 on Stephen Freakin' Williams in a couple leagues! And we have Fitz in a few leagues too. But we drafted Doucet and wish to try out his replacement. Who knows? Maybe it'll be money well spent?
