Working the Waiver Wire

Well...
I have a question. I have the first pick in a traditional scoring league. Being in last place, I have all the marginal backs out there. Stecker, Emmitt, etc.... I need receivers. I have a crappy player to drop, so that is not an issue.
So, my question is, do I take Leonard Henry or do I take Stokley? Is Stokely a fluke? Should I take Henry so no one else gets him? There really aren't any other receivers out there worth mentioning.

I agree with the King, Callie and Philly, Stokley makes a better longer-term potential pickup.
Henry had one long run against a mediocre Jets run defense and a 1.8 average rush for his other 20 carries. That said, I hope he does something against the Patriots because I need him to cover Westbrook's bye week, however, I wouldn't expect much.
Actually, a better RB pickup this week is Artose Pinner. He should fare better plus, unlike Leonard Henry, you may be able to use Pinner a few weeks while Kevin Jones is out.

Well, I have a bit of a different take on this...
Since your expressed need is at WR and not RB, go with Stokely, I suppose. But, if this is a keeper league and all things equal, RB's over WR's, I'd take a flyer on Leonard Henry [i[at this very point in time[/i]. "Stokelys" come and go. The one particular upswing I like with him is if the Colts cannot re-sign Harrison at the end of the season. Right now, though, and for the immediate future, he's the flavor of the month and shouldn't be relied on. What other WR's are available to you in this league, Double D?

No other receivers worth mentioning were available. I ended up going with Stokley since I really needed a reciever.
I am actually really surprisd that NO ONE picked up Henry.
