Week One Waivers and Trades

Round 1-Dexter McCluster WR
Dexter was targeted 10 times in the Chiefs week one loss. I'm betting on this not being a fluke since he was also used a lot in the preseason. His small size limits his upside, but he could a solid PPR producer on my WR thin team. Other options I could've had were WR's D. Jones, A. Roberts, A. Hawkins, B. Edwards, or TE D. Pitta.

Round 2-Billy Cundiff K
Dropped Hartley who only netted me 6 points in week 1. Needed a different kicker since Hartley conflicted with my plan to drop CIN DEF after week 6 for a new kicker since the NO BYE was also week 6. Cundiff and the 'skins face the Rams in the dome in week 2 so if I don't get double digits from the kicker position I will be pissed.

Trades
In an attempt to "fix" my mistake of drafting C. Johnson, I traded him to meeesta along with TE M. Bennett in return for C.J. Spiller and FJax. When FJax went down to an injury, Spiller put up the most fantasy points by a RB in week one. He should be a stud while FJax is out and may solidify the number 1 job if he can prove to be too dynamic a weapon for the Bills to continue to underutilize.

Preseason Waivers

Round 1-Jonathan Dwyer RB
Dwyer was on my radar as a late round flier possibility during the draft. Opted for Ballard, Royster and Pierce that paid off in different ways. Dwyer has had a great preseason, is young, and the Steelers could have an opportunity for him to step into the "feature" back role with Redman nursing an injury and Mendenhall coming back for a major one and a free agent after 2012. Was really hoping WR Josh Gordon would fall to me but he was the first waiver selection off the board to Arian.

Round 2-Garret Hartley K
Didn't pick a kicker in the draft so I had to get one. Disappointed that I couldn't use this selection on a WR since I feel very weak at that position. If Miles Austin's hamstring issues continue, I am in big trouble there. Could've had S. Smith, R. Streater, L. Brazill, with my round 1 pick, but opted for the RB because of the larger injury risk there and always seem to be more WR options available from the waiver wire during the season.
