What the 'experts' will be talking about

I'm hoping this will be a regular segment where, every Sunday night, I try and guess which players (WRs, mostly) the 'experts' will urge us to go out and claim off the waiver wire. Here are my guesses for Week 1 (fyi, I have read ZERO 'Sunday wrap-up' columns at this point; you'll just have to take my word for it).

• Marcus Pollard (SEA TE): 5 rec, 43 yards.


• Bobby Engram (SEA WR): 3 rec, 64 yards.


• Shaun McDonald (DET WR): 6 rec, 90 yards, 1 TD.


• Mike Furrey (DET WR): 5 rec, 52 yards.


• Ronald Curry (OAK WR): 10 rec, 133 yards, 1 TD.


• Drew Carter (CAR WR): 3 rec, 19 yards, 2 TD.


• Jeff King (CAR TE): 5 rec, 35 yards.


• Wes Welker (NE WR): 6 rec, 61 yards, 1 TD.


• Roddy White (ATL WR): 4 rec, 29 yards.


• Dennis Northcutt (JAX WR): 4 rec, 57 yards.


• Jason Avant (PHL WR): 3 rec, 54 yards, 1 TD.


• Brandon Marshall (DEN WR): 5 rec, 52 yards, 1 TD.

The words will all be the same. If the receiver is tall, they'll say the receiver has a height advantage over most corners. If he's small, they'll say he's quick and/or elusive. They'll talk about how the other WRs higher up on the depth chart will 'open things up' for this guy (ex: "Steve Smith will really open things up for Carter and King"). Or maybe they'll use the worst phrase of all and say that he's "clearly the man". Example: "with 4 catches for 57 yards, Northcutt is now clearly the man in Jacksonville". Do you REALLY want 'the man' in JAX or ATL?

What you need to decide is whether or not there's room on your roster for one of these players after just a week. Remember our mission: don't look stupid.
