Strategy

My opponent for the first round of the playoffs is real short at RB due to injuries. The only guys on his roster are McCoy, Jacquizz Rodgers, and Cunningham. Unfortunately there are 3 good options on waivers right now in BJGE, Blount, and Tolbert. After them, the next best options are J-Stew and Dennis Johnson.

He has a habit of refusing to make waiver claims during the waiver period, and instead will wait until midnight after waivers have processed in order to scoop anyone up that was not claimed. Maybe that will change with this week being the playoffs, but it might not. Should I use waiver claims to pick up all 3 of the above RBs (BJGE, Tolbert, and Blount) just so he can't get them? I'm not asking this from an ethical standpoint - I have no moral qualms about doing this. But would it be good for my team?

By drops would be T. Williams, Burleson, and the Browns DST. I don't think I'll use any of them again this year - I have 4 better WRs (Cruz, Decker, White, and Harvin if healthy), and a better DST (Rams). Just trying to get people's thoughts on the strategy.

I would grab Tolbert for sure
and maybe BJGE

Let him grab Blount, the patriots backfield is way too crowded with Ridley, Vereen, Bolden
Don't drop Williams

I know that BJGE, Blount, and Tolbert aren't all-stars, but they all have a decent chance of finding the end-zone. I'd much rather him play Cunningham, J. Rodgers, J-Stew, or Dennis Johnson, which would be his only alternatives. You disagree?
