Help me scoop a WR from waiver wire

10 team auction draft, and my WR’s are Amon Ra, Olave, Malik Nabers, Christian Watson, and Hollywood Brown, who I’m about to throw in the IR slot.
After freeing up that slot, who from the wire would you grab out of these options: Jeudy, Thielen, Josh Palmer, Curtis Samuel, or Mike Williams (NYJ). The latter two are iffy themselves with injuries
I am leaning Palmer. Thoughts?

Palmer or Williams

Definitely Palmer or Mike Williams

Samuel

Palmer or Samuel
Palmer is a WR1 with a good qb, as is likely Samuel. Samuel should get a number of manufactured touches too - blessing and a curse getting those rushes as they come with more injury risk
Williams as an old slow guy coming off injury with an old qb coming off major injury and a WR2 target share (and a rb that’ll eat into it) is not particularly appealing. A lot lower floor and the ceiling isn’t higher than the others

I don’t see it with Samuel. He has always been more of a gadget type guy and doesn’t have much upside. You are hoping to get about 8 points from him a week based off manufactured touches. Maybe you have a week were he gets into the end zone and gets you 15 points. I just don’t love it. I much rather a more upside type guy which I think you get with Palmer and Mike Will.
Mike Williams carries risk with his and Aaron Rodgers injury but he isn’t just a slow old guy. He is a premier deep threat and red zone target when healthy. Health has always been his downfall. He can get you those boom weeks. We have seen how Rodgers threw to Christian Watson in the back half of his rookie year. Rodgers knows how to make these throws and utilize these big targets.
I still say Palmer is the best bet with the most stable floor and decent upside but I’m not counting out a Mike Williams.

Thanks for the input guys, appreciated as always. I’m going with Palmer. Herbert has to throw to someone… right? McKonkey isn’t coming into the league day one and getting 15+ targets per game.

Look at his last year with Joe Brady?
I don’t think he’s going to be elite or anything but don’t think it’s wild to pencil in about 900-1000 combined yards and a half dozen touchdowns. I’m not banking on Mike Williams a year removed from his injury blowing past that kind of season but he could definitely come up short of them

Anything is possible. You are kind of banking on him matching his best season with Brady. In 2020 Samuel was the pretty clear wr 2 behind DJ Moore. I expect Coleman, Kincaid, shakir, and even cook to all be ahead of him in buffalo. Samuel makes a living off of short passes and Allen just likes to play hero ball and fire it down the field. He would prefer to just take off and run than throw a short pass. I just don’t really see anything special with Samuel. I also don’t see what he brings to the run game that you don’t get from cook. What would be the point of putting him in the backfield like he did in Carolina which they only did bc McCaffrey got hurt. Anything is possible I just don’t see it.
Mike Will has shown he can produce big games and has TD potential every week as a red zone threat just from his size and high point skills. He will probably start slow but I expect him to get more involved in the offense just as mismatch nightmare. I rather have that in my pocket than Samuel who is just kind of a steady floor low upside type guy. And that is assuming he will get some gadget plays in every game.

Cook may have dropped more TDs than any player in the league last year
Also, Brady in his first year as an OC in Buffalo targeted the guy.
I also think how buff works in rookies means Keon might not be a heavy lifter this year but we will see.
