Ladd,
ReplyDeleteAn owner in my league dropped Cotchery because he needed a roster spot for a bye week fill-in (plus Cotchery was out). If you were in my situation, would you try to pick him up on waivers or let someone else take him? Do you see him finishing strong? I have some decent WR's behind R.Moss but Cotchery would be an upgrade at WR2 or WR3 if healthy and assuming he'd get back to his normal productivity. Thanks as always!

rjfrank445,
ReplyDeleteI would think Cotchery will be reasonably valuable down the stretch, so if you can make room for him, I'd go for it. You'd think with Sanchez's growth and Braylon drawing double teams (possibly) on the other side, Cotchery should do pretty well once he gets back on the field. Wouldn't lose too much sleep if someone else gets him, but if he's an upgrade, then why not grab him? I don't get the impression that his hamstring injury is so bad that it will slow him down for long.
