should I pick up malcom floyd off of waivers?

I'd almost prefer Jackson at this point. The problem when you have a QB with lots of options and then he loses his WR1 is that nobody knows for sure how it will shake out. (#AaronRodgers). They also have huge OL problems right now.

There's 2 TEs in the mix, along with Woodhead and then the WRs. Floyd has always had decent chemistry with Rivers, but there's some risk now. With Jackson, you don't have that. Cousins is peaking at the right time (he sure did better vs TB than Ryan did at home) and D-Jax is clearly the most talented WR in this group. I think there's less risk here.

Keenan Allen looks like he will be out for a few weeks or so. Malcolm Floyd is a decent option. He will either play the #1 or #2 behind Stevie Johnson. Rivers has been throwing the ball exceptionally well so Floyd, Johnson, and Green will look to catch the ball plenty of times. DeSean Jackson isn't bad as well as it will be his first week back from a long injury.

Floyd is a reasonable choice especially with the match up against Chicago this week. You might also look at Aiken with Smith out for the season. Another more unlikely option is Harris for the Cowboys who has looked good in the chances he's gotten. Jackson is a good option, but I wouldn't play him his first week back if you need someone immediately.
