I know we got to kick it right before but we didn't get to see any football. Week 10, nice to you or did it treat you like me a little bit and kicking in the butt? No, it was very nice to me. I won every league again this week and won most of my bets, so definitely incredible week. I even won my Dynasty Super Flex league where it's like super deep. We start like seven receivers. It's an insane league that I started with Mike Tiger Bear over a decade ago. My quarterbacks, I have Aaron Rodgers, Cam Ward, and Dishon Watson. Obviously I'm dealing with some issues. None of them played this week so I was forced to add Carson Wentz. I won, despite him putting up minus 2.3 points. Kevin O'Connell couldn't win with Carson Wentz at quarterback but I was able to pull it off. What could I say? That was one of the worst performances I've ever seen. That was fun to watch last night. This is the trade deadline episode day. This episode is not for the trade deadline but obviously the waivers. We're going to talk about could be impacted. What's your prediction? Do you think the Vikings make a move at quarterback? Obviously when this comes out there might be news already or the deadline might pass. If you're listening, there might have already been a bunch of trades. I'm always excited. I want to see a bunch of moves. I want to see people moving around. It shakes things up. I feel like we're always disappointed every year of how like came the trade deadline is. I fear it's going to be the same this year. A lot of the splash moves will be like on the defensive side of the ball which are fun for real life football or betting but not for fantasy. Jonathan Taylor, it's already looking like he might stay in Indy. The current odds right now are over 60% that he'll stay there. That'll be no fun for my Seth McGowan bags. I hope we see some moves. I think the Vikings definitely have to do something but I'm just worried it might be a dead trade deadline. I hope I'm wrong though. My fears always have we seen the best already. Quentin Nelson and a couple other moves obviously. I mean Jordan Davis, Jesse Bates and like last 24 hours or so. There have been some big moves but it's like the day of the deadline is just going to be fodder for a six-thrown pick. I mean it's like Josh Downs the best player that gets traded obviously very impactful for fantasy if Josh Downs moved to like the 49ers chiefs. Xavier Worthy got hurt for the chiefs so it's like hey maybe who knows maybe that motivates them but yeah I'm hoping fingers crossed Brian Tom's junior Jonathan Taylor, Downs, Kirk Cousins. I hope they all get moved because it's like it's way more fun when we see new faces and new places and I mean have like this fantasy shake-up midseason because it's like you know the waiver wire gets more interesting. We're going to discuss it right now. We're going to go position by position so you still available mostly. You might want to keep an eye on but at the same time it's like I hope all of this gets shaken up and your Tuesday night Wednesday morning waivers are way more interesting. Yeah I think what the biggest move so far has been Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Texans. Yeah. That's like he's done rotational wire receiver. We might be a foreshadowing maybe. That looks better than Marvin has all season. I think he has more yards right now in two games than Marvin will. Yeah. It feels like I think he has more than Brian Tom's junior for sure. Brian Tom's junior has got a 12 yards. Brian Tom's junior needs to go somewhere because they obviously don't plan on using him. He needs you know like Myers or Parker to get injured to see any kind of like meaningful snap so yeah just get him a fresh start. Find a new place for him. The Rams make a ton of sense to land somebody because I mean yeah Devon Taze you know probably going to be out a couple more games and Puka my god he's going to be a while you dropping Puka if you have him if like if let's say you have no IR spots thin bench it's 10 man league. Would you consider dropping Puka. He's not you got to figure out 15 or 16. What's the first? There's absolutely no way I would drop Puka. I would just figure it out again if you have Corlan Sutton just sitting there on your bench. Cut him. Now it's just way too easy to kind of like navigate. Now if you know it was somebody else like I don't know. Richie Rice or somebody you know like a White receiver too maybe you figure you know might as well cut bait but now with Puka you just have to figure it out and hope for the best. Like fancy playoffs so it's yeah you got to just figure it out. Hopefully you do have an IR slot. I can't imagine being a league at this point not having an IR slot. It's nice to have those but yeah you got stash him on the IR if not you got to figure it out. Of course of course yeah no I agree I just wanted to see your reaction. Yeah I see some glass. I've seen it. It's crazy. It's like he might miss the whole season. That's the fear with a re injured PCL and PCL anytime I see PCL I'm terrified on top of turf toe on top of the MCL it's just like holy crap like I was like oh he probably like menistice MCL something happened and it was like oh there's like three things when they all happen on that third and 10 run just I don't know why they can do maybe he's been do you see the play. Yeah I was like the end it was like a the rush for three yards. Third and 10 kind of you know just pointless run give that to Blake Horum or Kyron Williams I don't know why they give it to Puka and he just took a shot from like two guys now he's done for a while so I just don't understand why they did that. Second week vague getting too cute but let's move on yeah people are here for the waiver wire who is your top addict quarterback. Yeah everyone's here to hear me talk about Drew Locke. Yeah I think Drew Luxe got to be my top ad again look at my ranks see who's actually available it might not even be Drew Locke but he's my QB 15 to open the week which you know there's four teams on by the quarterback position generals is dealing with a ton of chaos Stafford might be without you know he's without Puka so you know Stafford's falling in my ranking so Drew Luxe just kind of like rising up by default but you have to remember when you had someone like Drew Locke you're getting JSN by proxy so think of it that way but this is also a good spot for him against the Raiders defense that's allowed two or more passing touchdowns now in seven straight games the only two quarterbacks that haven't clear that were Malik Willis and JSN Herbert in weeks one and two so you know I mean they've been pretty good past touchdown funnel type defense which I think when it comes to like streamer quarterbacks unless there's a ton of rushing up side I'm really just looking at you know odds of throwing for two or more touchdowns so I think Drew Locke it's elevated this week you know the the COX have a pretty high team total so I'm right around to pick him to throw for two or more touchdowns and you know he has some juice he can use his legs a bit and he could add like 15 20 yards rushing so he's not completely useless in that department but I think with him this week it would be touchdown up side and again he's attached to JSN we're kind of just adding him to get JSN steps as well so I think Drew Locke for now would be the top quarterback for me I wouldn't bid on anything on him I would just wait for Raer is a clear and then Adam if he's still available but that's that's why I have the highest to open the week at least yeah you're not concerned about the elbow oblique injury that he's dealing with I mean he seemed like he would have been Very questionable entering this game if not for Sam Donald also being hurt So like do you think he's yeah tough it out and like he's a tough guy and here he said he's good That's why again, even if he was even if Drew like was fully healthy I wouldn't bet I wouldn't bet a single dollar on him Of your fab saved that money But you know if he's available you add him and then you just wait and see they play what Sunday? So plenty of time to find out if he's actually playing if anything turns worse Pick up somebody else plus I knew with the trade deadline coming up We could see a bunch of things shake up somebody that I have ranked, you know 20th. I don't know somebody anything can happen You're just kind of setting yourself up to just Make your final decision later in the week, but I think Drew lock at least to start the week would be my guy and All signs kind of point to him being okay for now Yeah, for sure. I'm just worried about game script because they're flying the Raiders and their defenses Still one of the best they're only three point favorites. I mean, that's not really Yes, I mean You could just bet on the Seahawks and my three and a half you want to go that yeah, I mean there's that or maybe Drew lock falls apart I don't know I got scared by the double anytime. I see multiple things on an injury port. I get terrified unless I see like illness Yeah, yeah, I mean Drew locks. He's a tough guy Yeah, I feel like he's one of those guys that plays through injuries fine In his limited starts in this career, but I think he'll tough it out But yeah, I mean it is a game where you know The Raiders, you know, they allow a ton of rushing yards and stuff like that, but They might just allow a ton of touchdowns So I think when it comes to lock we're just trying to get two passing touchdowns. That's the game Yeah, fingers crossed, you know for anybody picking up that this is a competitive game and he has reason to I'm going to go on With an option that is not as highly available to locksville 85 percent Bryce Young's available in 35 percent So there's a decent chance he's available. We usually aim for over 40 percent available in the leagues But I'm cheating because this is a pretty heavy by week and I mean, there's a lot of bad quarterback available to It's like I'm I'm just gonna go with the best option possible Bryce ends a top 10 option for me in week 10 because I mean They're playing in New Orleans against this porous saint's defense and Bryce Young against the Broncos last week Put up multiple touchdowns. I mean Talk about a bounce back. He was terrible week seven eight weeks nine week nine at home against the Broncos defense Which is getting better pastor tans back. You know, he looked the part of a good NFL quarterback again as he did in the first few weeks of the season So if available Bryce Young, I mean if you I would be starting him over several Regular starters like I don't know like Jordan love Bryce Young is a conversation Jared Goff Bryce Young is a conversation back press god if George Pickens isn't healthy I have Bryce Young get QB 8 right now in my rankings. Where do you have them? Um, yeah, he's right around there like QB 13 I was going with our strict available in 40 percent of leagues. So yeah, if he's If he's available, yeah, obviously got to die if hey, hey, you know what? Tell her shock. I'm gonna go with him. He's available in 25 percent leagues. So there you go No, I'm actually I obviously I'm joking, but yeah, no like If Bryce Young is available absolutely Adam overdrew lock. Are you kidding me? Yeah, uh the offensive line did a little bit better job this week And yeah, we don't expect the Saints to, you know, put a ton of pressure on him. So absolutely Uh, add Bryce um, if he's available plus Darren Waller started to look pretty spry Um, yeah, just love his past catchers around him this year. So again, it's with him It's just all about the offensive line if they can protect him. He's been a QB 1 This year. So yeah, I'm all for that. And he finally like decided to use his legs a bit more I wish you would scramble a bit more especially with the offensive line issue So really liked what I saw last week with them. So yeah, you definitely to have him right on that cusp of QB 1 range this week Yeah, this is me cheating. So it's like this is uh, yeah, I try to one up. Yeah, this is It's like I did not see it. I'm like maybe Aaron Rogers, but it's just like do I really want I don't want to but it's not a bad option either, but yeah, if not Bryce I guess Aaron Rogers would be my like over 40% option, but that's neither here nor there moving on to running back Who's your top bad? Uh, I'm gonna go with Audric Estima here. You know, I was kind of shocked what they cut Kendra Miller white like Saturday night or Saturday day Which is kind of surprising because I had him, you know, leading the whole backfield and Touches and snaps. So rarely see that happen. We're like a lead back. It's cut The day before the game, but they did that um because clearly they're not Thrilled with just the running game in general this year. You know Travis HN is still on IR I haven't really seen any positive news like Yeah, it's weird didn't return to practice last week. Have you heard anything on HN? All I've seen is they haven't opened the practice window yet And it's like he's been out for five weeks now So it's like he's well beyond his IR way. Yeah, I'm concerned because this is a hamstring re-injury with HN It's their ETN or whatever you want to call him I I think you still have to hold him if you have him if he's on your IR or whatever, but like This is like I it's like ominous almost anytime you see stuff like this and it's like it seemed like a three to four week timeline That they gave the buy week which they've already passed as an extra week to get rest. So I'm concerned Yeah, he's probably got a few weeks then right because I feel like this is one of those times where When he returns to practice, I don't think he'd play that week. I think it'd be like he returns to practice You know, maybe they slap a questionable label on him and then it doesn't play and then maybe the week after He plays and you don't even know if he's gonna get like a full workload So I think that for what we saw this week they just plugged Audra Guestame in the lead role And I'm not even sure how long he had been with the Saints because he was on the Browns a couple weeks ago So it was an instant revenge game for him. He ran 15 times for 72 yards and a touchdown Um, I was surprised how much he out snapped like Alvin Camera on early downs Camera still had you know the passing down work I think you know CJ Donaldson returns this week. It could really muddy things up But I think they probably liked it. They saw from estimate because again They haven't really gotten anything from the run game yet this year So I bet they stick with us to me this week Uh, it's a decent matchup against the Panthers where it's gonna be close enough They could lean on the run a bit. They you know, Shuk wouldn't have to drop back and pass 40 plus times here in theory So I think estimate is a solid you know like RB three flux option I wouldn't go two nuts on him because again, we would expect H&B back In a few weeks maybe so You know estimate only might give you a couple weeks, but who knows again This situation so murky the run game's been so bad this year. There's a chance He's just they're starting back the rest of the way and H&B can't return So there there's definitely some long-term upside here, but I think if you're really hurting you need somebody for like a few weeks Um, I don't think he would go for too much right? I don't think he would require a massive bid So I think he's a guy that um, I think you could sneak away with like, I don't know 10% or something But um, he's a guy if you just need somebody right now, uh, he could probably fill in for a couple weeks Yeah, definitely. I mean he gets the Panthers this week. That's an auto start again uh if Uh, ETN is out and or H&B excuse me, but like next week's at bears. I'd I'd bench estimate at bangles Homers Packers at Panthers. I mean if some if ETN uh, something happens with him Of course Of course estimates are gonna be an honest. It's just it's it's a weird situation right now. It's it's wait and see But yes this week Assuming H&N is still out. He's a start versus Panthers. Uh, I'm gonna go to a Corey Kiner here. They'll own 95% of leagues Um, I really like what I've seen from him. He's averaging what six yards per carry over the past few weeks Past four or five weeks. Excuse me Uh, yeah, and Travion Henderson still dealing with dealness Ramondra Stevenson now dealing with the knee injury Backup is Lynn Larison I don't know what to make of him, but I know Corey Kiner looks pretty good when he's rushing It's kind of like a Chris Rodriguez situation Um, just a grounded pound guy talented good rushing offense with Drake May at quarterback next to him his mobility opens things up Kind of LSU Cincinnati had some good production just not a high not really a target guy I think he had a five percent target share in Cincinnati last year. So It's not looking like he's gonna be a PPR monster but On this offense that does like to play through the running back when they do have a good running game I I'm pro Corey Kiner, especially against the lines this week Uh, they're gonna be playing overseas in the morning game So should be an easy decision early in the morning because Ram and Henderson are both gonna be out and I mean This is the trade deadline They could trade for Jonathan Taylor right now they could trade for whomever But I think right now it's safe to say Kiner is my top ad for the week. Uh, what do you think of them? Yeah, I think with just the injuries right now like it seems like Henderson's gonna be out Weeks, I don't know He's feeling with some things, so I hope he gets better, but I think Corey Kiner would replace Ramandra Stephenson and be the lead back, but like you said, he's probably limited, at least in the passing network. I don't know if they trust him to pass block or just be out there catching passes. So I think Lan Larison would be kind of the pass catching back, so like the Traveon role, and they're playing the lion, so they might get in a trailing game script. That would be my worry as if they get down. I think Larison could see a bump in playing time, but I think Kiner obviously is the ad here. He's the guy that you could probably trust is like a probably a high end RB three flex. If both, you know, Mondrae and Trey are out, which I expected at this point, but like how much like what are the chances that Stevenson ends up shooting this week, right? Because that's pretty low. I would assume. It sounds like his injury wasn't a surgery multitasking. He's not getting surgery, but it might, I mean, their buy is next week. So I think it's pretty safe to say Kiner is the guy for this week. Yeah, that's, well, I'm just saying, like, you know, how many times we've done this, we're like, you bid 20% on this guy. And then up, Stevenson's actually fine. He's, he's shooting up this week. It's like, well, shit, you know, I just spent 20 bucks on Corey Kiner. So, but yeah, Stevenson, it looks like they're debating surgery. He's absolutely out. Trey, they're a little bit more protective because it's like, like mental health, like he's just dealing with a lot right now. So I think he's out. So yeah, I think you could feel pretty comfortable at Kiner's going to get you a start this week, if not longer. So again, if, if you're sitting there and you're like, if you're, you know, two and seven you're cooked, but you're like, you know, four and five. And you got like, you know, Jonah Coleman, you have DeAndre Swift. You have Sichuan Barclay Buckier when you're hurting. You got a bid for Kiner, right? Because I think, yeah, he's, you're going to get like a borderline RB two week from him this week and maybe beyond. So you got to be pretty aggressive for him if you need wins right now. Yeah. No, this is a desperation RB two flex specifically for week 10 with upside. Again, Ramondra, you don't know how long he's going to miss. Obviously, the week 11 by does not help Kiner's case for Ramondra to get healthier, Travion to get healthier. I do think there are major concerns on Travion playing again this season. Obviously, just, you know, you don't like his situation is a lot more unknown. A knee injury is, you know, you could put a timetable on that. Not necessarily, but yeah, I definitely like Kiner for this week. He should get the volume, even if they trail a little bit like I'd expect like how much is landlords and really going to play? How much are they going to go to him because Kiner's average and already like he's been, he's had double digit touch games already leading up to this week. So he's been trusted. He's had like seven rushes per game, I believe, or 7.2 rushes per game past month. So I like what I've seen like, like his ability, but you never know. Obviously, this could all go up in flames. This whole take could go up in flames if you trade for an RV. So obviously, stay tuned in to the, to the transaction wire right now, but moving on to a wider receiver, who's your top ad? Well, I'm going to go tank Dale here and I'm not saying to bid the farm on him. This is a complicated take here, but I know that people are going to like want to hear us talk about him and like, he's going to be a popular ad because everybody knows that tank Dale has massive, massive upside when healthy and he's just been out of the league for what two years now, dealing with, you know, significant injury. So it's been encouraging to see him look so healthy to start. You know, he's very limited in his first game back in week seven before the buy, but he got that long pass for 43 yards. Then last week, I mean, he went off for four catches, 105 yards in a touchdown. The playing time was up. So he was up to 55% routes on rate, which is pretty good. I would imagine that's going to keep trending up and he could be over like 70% this week, but they do have a lot of wider receivers there. Maybe their plan is not to just have full time player, maybe like they want him to max out around the 60% range, which he would be very inconsistent. I don't think you could bank on him weekend, we got to be like a wide receiver free. But that's enough playing time for him to, you know, catch one or two long passes and, you know, go off for you. And that was against the chargers. We have to keep that in mind. He went off against the chargers. This week they faced the Browns. They play man coverage at, you know, the highest rate in the league. He's yet to catch a pass against man coverage. All of his catches is here. I've been against zone, so I think this week it's kind of a tough spot. I don't think you'd play in this week if you add him, unless you're desperate. You need upside. So that's why I'd be careful like bed too much. Week to week, you're going to have to just figure out if he's going to go for four catches and a hundred yards in a touchdown or no catches. Like that could be his range of outcomes. So I'd be careful with that. But he does have so much upside that I, again, I'd rather have him on my bench than like Cortland Sutton. It's like he's one of those guys that just has so much upside. I don't mind having him on my bench if, you know, Marv Harrison, Keisha and booty both go down. Now, Tank Del has got to play more. Then I think you trust him and he just has so much upside. You really get that on the way for a wide receiver. So that's why I'm kind of like in on just adding him where he can, but don't go overboard. How much do you think he's going to go for this? I imagine. I'm going to go for something high. I wouldn't be that much. It's going to probably be over 15% or so of like initial fab. It's his hot name. It's Tank Del. People loved his rookie year. He's been, yeah, he missed all the 2025 season and half of this season part of the 2024 season. It's just like everything's kind of gone wrong for him. And even when he was on the field in 2024, I mean, he wasn't the same as 2023 after injuring his knee. I believe it was his knee. He got like rolled up on the line of scrimmage when he was blocking for some reason. I don't understand why someone to stature would be like like basically inline blocking, but that's new here and right there. Yeah. I agree. I saw the same stat like Cleveland. It's a tough matchup for him. I wouldn't be starting it. So it's like, you're not starting him this week. Next week is the Colts. If he does play well this week, I'm absolutely considering him as a start. But then I look at his matchups coming up ravens, Steelers, Washington. That's good. Jaguars in the planacy playoffs at Philly at Green Bay. I don't really love that. I don't want to bid to it like I would bid maybe 5% on him. See like what I can do, but I'm not going to go overboard on bidding for tank del, especially considering that his snap share route share lot this past game was higher because they were trying to get him over 100 yards at the end of the game. So I don't know. In case you have the best game of the bunch, you have the two touchdown 125 yard game. So he's probably more available, not to say that makes him a better ad. But yeah. I just think this is not say a fluke game, but it was definitely a wonky game. Yeah. I agree. And I think my ultimate takeaway is don't over bid on this guy. That's my ultimate takeaway. You got to bid something. You can't just be like, ah, he's going to go for a ton. I'm not even going to bother. He's putting a lower bid and hope you get him. But yeah, he's just going to be very volatile week in, week out. But it's usually strad as playing well. They're defense, you know, they've been allowing points where it's like, you know, every week they could be in a shootout. So there's upside there. So you don't want to just ignore him. I think when it comes to props, if they're to float like a three and a half reception line for him, I'm going to hammer the shit out of the under. Or if they still, if they still float his yard as prop in the 20s, 30s, I might take an ult over. But he's just, he's just such a boom bus guy that when it comes to fantasy, I'm still all about raising your floor because you just have to be one more opponent. This isn't best fall, where you're just going for the moon. You just have to one other opponent. So like, Hank Dell's not a great player in that format because again, he could, he could go zero catches this week very easily, in my opinion, or go off again. So he's just not the kind of guy that you really want to be making that decision weekend week out. But again, you mentioned the schedule later on. He could end up being a match up proof where it doesn't matter. Like, oh, my God, Hank Dell's back. He's a white receiver three every week. He has that kind of upside. I think that's less likely to happen. But still, you know, it depends who's on your bench. Again, if you have Corlan Sutton sitting there, we kind of know who he is. I like having the mystery upside guy like a tank Dell, like a Jordan Tyson, if Jordan Tyson's still out there, you have to add him immediately. I love that. That would easily be the top ad if available. Yeah. What's his, like, he's got to still be like, he's still available like 40% of leagues, 40 to 45% or so. Maybe you just add him quietly, that would easily. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, then, Tank Dell this week would be the move. I just don't know if he's available in your league, but my God, he was open pretty much every route. Tyler Schuck just didn't see him sometimes one of them is in the in zone. So, yeah, the best move would be just get Jordan Tyson for whatever you can. You could probably get him for cheaper than Tank Dell, but I just kind of figure he's gone and mostly. But yeah, Dylan Tyson, those are the type of receivers I like to have on my bench, but I think Tyson, we couldn't be starting him sooner than later Definitely. I like Tyson this weekend. It's the Panthers But someone else I like this week is Jordan Watkins San Francisco 49ers wide receiver available in 98% of leagues Debo Samuel might be back this week Mike Evans It doesn't not sound like he's gonna return and Mike Evans injury is getting really ominous too like we were talking about Travis H Evans and the way they're talking about it. It sounds like he might be out until the fancy playoffs If not the whole season because it's a re-injury to his Achilles that he was dealing with he had a so he had soreness then he had the in-game He fell down and like walked it was it was terrible because like you hate to see a legendary player like that go down But yeah, they could be really cautious with that and especially since they're winning games like they could save him for the playoffs or You know crucial game late season if they need it, but Jordan Watkins looks really good And he's getting some targets. He has four targets in the past game six targets game prior I mean, he's been hyper efficient. I mean 17.2 yards for targets obviously gonna come down It's like Omar Cooper having like insane yards for route run in different splits But he gets the Cowboys in Dallas this week and even with Debo Samuel back I mean what to Marcus Robinson come back from injury as well I like I might like Jordan Watkins above all three of all like the other two Obviously CMC and Kettle are going to be the You know the highest in the pecking order But four to five targets for Watkins against this Cowboys defense with what he's been doing and pretty a quarterback I mean that that's all you need probably so how do you feel on Watkins? Yeah, I love this ad again. I think you could probably get him cheaper Although he did have a big game four catches 86 yards and touchdown will stand out people might just think Oh, that was kind of a fluke game Which it kind of is but again, I think Mike Evans is going to be out, you know this week if not longer So ominous being like it's an Achilles injury It like that's never good Especially being right there by the substation I pray for Evans but He would set himself up for like tweaking something else because he's gonna be compensating on it So I agree they're probably gonna just keep him out as long as they can because they're still winning without him I think Debo could return this week, but Debo's more of like Um, you know, they have Jake Jacob Cowling running routes out there. They don't want him running routes Could there a hodge man appearance this week? They really don't want Brandon cooks out there. You could just tell by the routes run rate He's he's gone if Debo returns probably I think they like Demarcus Robinson I think he's gonna be a top two receiver Uh, this week no matter what and I've loved what I've seen from Watkins He is due to like not catch every deep ball But this is the nighters. I know he's getting he's he's he's getting skinned open It's Brock Purdy in his bag right now. They got to worry about George Kiddell. So yeah, I mean he gets wide open Um, he gets down to the targets. So you don't really need him to get peppered with targets So if if Debo returns I could just help open things up for him I think that Watkins has enough upside to like play him right now without my Kevin. So Yeah, he this is gonna be guy. I was gonna mention if you didn't I think he's a great ad probably gonna get him pretty cheap Yeah, he could give you like a few weeks of like you know, potentially white receiver three values So you have to remember you're just investing in Brock Purdy and the nighters offense with them like how could you go wrong with that? So uh like him like what I've been seeing like he's one of those guys. It's had upside Just hasn't had a chance to like see significant playing time, but that's That's happening as we speak so if he's getting 80% plus routes red rate. I'm in With Brock Purdy under center right now. So yeah, I love him as a cheap ad this week Yeah, I look at it uh for me. It's more of a one week streamer Yes, there is season long upside if Evans is announced out or Debo gets re-entered But they'd get the Vikings and Seahawks in week 1112 So uh in the short term it is kind of brutal In the long view of the short term, but for this week He's gonna be in my top 40. I mean initially before Debo was out. He was in my top 30 So our Debo was Uh, you know rumored to come back So I like Watkins this week and if you need a flex, he's gonna be your guy uh for I think both from both of us I think we're gonna both agree on that On Veterans Day Ford will host a military tribute race with six teams competing to honor each branch of the armed forces at Daytona International Speedway Star-studded concert featuring Zach Brown van Warren Ziders Russell Dickerson and more all in support of service members and their families tune in live to watch the proud to honor Veterans Day classic November 11th at 8 p.m. Eastern on USA Network in Fandango Whether you're commanding the room or the open road modern icons know it isn't just about going the distance It's about how you arrive Meet the all electric Cadillac Escalade IQ with expectation defying electric capability a 55-inch Diagonally measured horizon display and available 42 speaker AKG audio Every drive becomes a luxurious journey with the all electric Cadillac Escalade IQ Hey guys Sean Kerner from the Action Network here one of the best ways to stay ahead of books is with real-time alerts Available to action pro subscribers whenever we track a pick in the app you get an instant alert So you can see the pick right away instead of finding out 30 minutes later when the best value might already be gone A lot of times when I post a prop in the app the lines move within five ten minutes So if you want to stay ahead of the books and know exactly when we're making a pick visit action out work calm slash pro And sign it for action pro today moving on to tie the end. Who is your top ad? Well, it's Tyler Higby and or Colby Parkinson. I just think you know, this would be the week to kind of like Take a fly around a rams tied end. It's always a disaster. It's always a shit show Probably Davis Allen or you know max Claire my guy I think they hate playing rookies. You could tell he does not want to play max Claire But he might have to this week. So any one of these four tight ends Could pop this week. It sounds like Terrence Ferguson's out You know For at least another week got him on it or him because he's eligible to come off. I are if he returns You know, this would just be a nightmare, but no Devante and now no Puka Means like they're gonna have no choice But they're just lean on the running backs and tight ends a lot more this week And Higby has been the tight ends seeing the most Routes run. He's got a very nice 69% routes run rate Not each of the last two weeks only two catches a show for it Uh, but again everybody's is kind of sitting there watching Puka get all these targets So if Puka's not there the targets have to go somewhere Um, you know Colby Parkinson his routes run rate has been training up the past couple weeks and you know, he was missing time He's been playing banged up. So there's a chance that Colby Parkinson just ends up being the top tight end this week in routes run rate. So um, you know, I just think we kind of have to monitor that situation throughout the week But I mean both those guys I have right on the you know, tight end one fringe right now. So um, I think Making a bid on like a Higby or Parkinson makes sense right now, but I think this is a week where they have no choice. They're they're not gonna just pepper Conte a mumfuel with a bunch of targets. Not gonna happen. He's gonna be out there a ton Not gonna happen to two outwells gonna be out there ton You know, they give him the occasional deep shot. I just think it's gonna be these tight ends, you know, heavy three four tight end sets Where they're gonna spam karen korum With direct, you know, carries obviously and they're gonna get targets as well But just Puka being out is you know, 15 targets now for grabs. So You just got to take a flare in a tight end if you know, if you don't have like Brock Bauer's Tramik bride or someone like that I think this would be the week to kind of just Take a flare on one of the ramps tight ends probably Higby or Parkinson Yeah, if you have the colston leveling by too. It's like it's definitely a week to pick up Higby Higby he's funny man. He has four of his 10 best receiving games against the Cardinals He has seven touchdowns in his career against Cardinals most against any team. Obviously a division opponent's gonna be the team that but he dominates this team. He has He as recently as like last or this year in What is it January 4th their final game against there? I think this was we get this was week 18 So but this calendar year He had five catches for 91 yards out of touchdown against the Cardinals. So he's a funny man like He's had some games to this year. I mean Higby's been very quiet in recent games So I mean he could be gassed out. He could have used all his juice earlier in the season That's always possible with an older tight ends double or older player in general who's dealt with injuries He had six two yards seven yards 83 yards, but uh, yeah, he has like been a dud 63 yards combined in the past four games He's an awful. He's been resting up. He's been resting up for this moment Yeah, he loves dominating the Cardinals. It's a very random things, but again, but they're terrible I mean, they've been terrible defending the tight end not that that's the best stat, but There's a weird trend here for Higby. He Well, it's even my carnels have had like horrible tight end defense Yeah, for a while, but Higby himself has been He's always a nightmare project. He always goes off and he leaks his spec that he does nothing when everything's lined up for him to do good and he does nothing. So he's always volatile. Again, I think Parkinson, sometimes you prefer Parkinson. I think that you could probably go with him over Higby. I'm not saying Higby's the better the two right now. I think Parkinson's more likely to get a higher target rate when he's out there and their playing time could be similar. So I think by the end of the week, I might have Parkinson ahead of Higby. Higby, yeah, he goes on random runs. I don't know if you remember, it was back in 2019. Oh, yeah, the end of the season. He was a top six fantasy titan in terms of like ADP the next year, but he was a monster. He was rock ball. He was last five, six weeks of that season. Channel run, generational run, four straight games of 100 plus yards, just a generational run, and he's at times, you know, he's flashed that. But again, maybe like you said, he only has so much energy. He can't do that every week, but he's been saving up these last two weeks. So I wouldn't get shy to wait just by his box score. It's ugly. Again, you have to remember Pukeneku, he's seen like historical target rates in the past like three or four weeks. So nobody can get targets when Pukas like commanding this insane of a target rate. Again, if he he's going to be out, those targets have to go somewhere. So that's kind of how I make projections, it's how it works. So they'll watch Stafford just throws for 60 yards this week and it's all tiring and going. Yeah, your boy Blake. Blake Quorum 200 yards up. I don't take it. The Cardinals. Carson Beck, no wide receivers. Yeah. I'm going to have ball control very likely unless Carson Beck is this God quarterback that we all doubted, but at the same time, it's like I'm willing to doubt Carson Beck with no Michael Wilson, RIP, that that was a crazy injury to get the notification from yesterday. But yeah, no, I'm with you. Higby's a great ad. Parkinson. If you don't get Higby's a fine ad to the little bro, both probably being my top, I mean, they are in my top 18 right now. They're both pushing for the tight end one age spot and it's Parkinson dealt with the ribs. Higby's been healthier despite being older and being, you know, this guy whose body has been falling apart for years. Yeah, it's crazy. I probably will have Higby ahead of Parkinson, but my preferred ad is still Chica Conco. Chicks, 18 targets over the past three games, 17% target share, 17% target per route. We're on 1.45 yards for our run on the season. Not great, but they're facing the Giants. Giants defense is, you know, kind of average short week. J.J. McCarthy seems like he's going to play, so this could be a decently scoring game. Not just because of J.J., but like Skataboos back to, so they're placing the commander's defense. Uh, I mean, Washington can't really run the ball right now. So they have to throw. They're using Chig as this like roll out guy. He'll go like in line and then roll out and like catch a sideline pass from J.Dangles every now and then. So like he's used kind of not like as a pseudo rushing attack almost. And, you know, he's good after the catch he has one target inside the 20 or like one target inside the 10 this year. So he's not really getting red zone looks, but that could change in an instant, um, expect a higher scoring game this week, Giants, Washington on Thursday at football. And you know, he could be a guy you hold for the rest of the year. If your starter was like Mark Andrews or Jake Ferguson for whatever reason or don't shouts, I mean, I, I like Chig rest of the year, especially in PPR because he is getting peppered in recent weeks. And yeah, as long as J.Dangles is under center like, Dale's he gets a lot of shit, but he's still a good quarterback. So I like Chig. How do you feel on him? Yeah. I like him as well. Again, with you know, Terry out for the season that definitely helps his stock. He did like pick up a hip injury. I think I saw the play. He caught a ball and landed awkwardly. So he was limited practice. So just something a monitor, but he's a big boy. I think he'll play through it. The thing with Chig, it's always bizarre. If you look at his like career rates, he usually is pretty quiet in the first half of the season and then just goes off in the second half. So that's that's a good sign, right? Because he's been pretty decent in the first half of the season. So if he's always better in the second half, that's, that's good for him. But it's, it's always like he, he does really good at the end of the season, fancy playoffs. Everybody's high on him heading into the next season. And then he gets off to slow start. Everybody drops him. He's been kind of a weird, it's like reverse Kyler Murray. It's like, once Call of Duty comes out, Chig goes off. So it's kind of a reverse Call of Duty. He's a bad guy. Who knows? Oh, is that what? I have no idea. Hopefully he's not like a GTA. Yeah. Yeah. He remembers GTA guys. I mean, I'm going to have to like track their twitches. Oh, GTA. That's now we're talking GTA. Who's going to fall off in the second half because of GTA? Someone's got to be. Who's on point? He just haven't had a sample because it hasn't come out in the last decade or whatever. So he's got to be a GTA guy out there. We need to keep track of. See if there's any vets who fell off after GTA V came out like, I don't know how long ago that was. Per cousins. I think GTA guy. He gives me GTA guy. I mean, cousins trade deadline. Let's get it. Like we have nothing. Brian Thomas Jr.'s allegedly going to stick around on that one. Yeah. That was terrible. I'm dropping. I'm dropping him. I'm don't BTK. Oh, obviously. But you never know. There's like a 90% chance now. He's about to get traded. You can never believe me. Yeah. God, please trade BTJ. Like I need this. I know bad. I have a way to get this ball BTJ. It's shaping up to be a dud. I hope. Yeah. A deadline. A deadline. Yeah. The trade deadline. God. God. That's terrible. I'm sorry. I'm going to get like reek woolen and Buddha Baker. Josh. We'll see all the defensive stuff. God, I don't want to get traded. We'll open some guys. Make it more fun. I want shakeups. And Calvin really was going to get traded. And then he got the airport incident. That's like still. Oh, God. What the hell happened there? What do you think he did? You pooped in here. I don't know. He like lost a bet with somebody and, you know, I don't know. That's not good. Not good. In the airport. Yeah. No, let's, let's hope he's all right and everything's okay in that situation. There's just a mix up. But moving on to defense. Yeah. What's, oh, it looks like we have, I see the sheet now. We have the same defense. That's the Ravens. DST. There's not much else there. They're facing the chargers. Yeah. They face the chargers. At this point, I don't know if it even matters if it's going to be Justin Herbert or DJ Ooyunga LaLai under center. It doesn't matter. Probably going to get plenty of sacks. Maybe a couple picks. But yeah, the Ravens got to be the streamer of the week. Easily. Yeah. They're in my top five for the week. It might be top three. We'll see. Yeah. There's not much else to say here. Pick up the Ravens. They're available in over six percent of leagues right now. Moving on to kicker. Who's your top bad? I like Tyler Bass this week. He's my number three kicker. He's been excellent this year. Perfect on field goals. Nineteen of nineteen. He's missed Culper. He's made three from fifty plus. So, you know, he's got a leg. And, you know, the bills have the second highest team to all the week. So, just has a really high floor. And, you know, they're favored by eight. So, this is a week where, I mean, Josh Allen, James Cook. They took a beating against the Vikings. You know, if they get up early, they're going to be a little bit more conservative, settle for more field goals. Could be kind of a let down game for them too. I mean, they just had a huge win. So, they face the jets. I think Bass is a decent bet here for, you know, a couple of field goals, few extra points. What more could you want from a streamer? Unless you add it. But, Will Riker, McPherson, who are the guys that were like long term ads recently? I mean, Bass is a long term ad for sure, just the way the bills often. Yeah. I mean, it's a great offense, obviously. But, like, they do get, they do settle. And, recently, I mean, I think Bass is like four straight double digit point games. So, he's cooking. Yeah, and they, they already have their buy. That's key when I talk about like long term kicker. Ads, if they've already had their buy, then there you go. You don't need to worry about shuffling them around. They do have some like late weather potential games. Like, they're. I mean, this 17. 17 mile an hour wins. Oh, at New York. Yeah. But, but their home stadium is a dome now. Or like, it's a retractable roof, I believe. Yeah. So, they have kind of control. Yeah. Yeah, like weeks, weeks 16, they're at Denver, so you never know, there could be snow. Yeah. This week, if there are wins, I'm usually not factoring whether this early in the week. But, if there's like 20 plus mile an hour wins, I'd probably look for somebody else. I'm not, I'm never too worried about rain. It's just wind. Like, if there's like 20 plus mile an hour wins, I usually bump down kickers. It's not just that they miss more. Uh, it's coaches kind of just they're a little bit more aggressive on fourth down. They're not going to, you know, settle for longer field goals. Uh, it's more of a coaching thing than anything. But wind is like the biggest factor when it comes to my kicking projections. Yeah. Now, if it gets up to 20 plus, then I'll be concerned. Uh, I mean, they could still get a bunch of like 35 yard field goals against the Jets. If they have, if they just decide to settle after they're up like, well, like yesterday, 23 to 6. Uh, I do think the Jets will be more competitive offensively than the Vikings. intensively than the Vikings. But even so, I mean Miami next week at home Kansas City the week after Patriots Green Bay That could be bad weather games home for Chicago at Denver like you said in the playoffs at Miami week 17 That could be a leave winner for a Tyler bass. You can be the guy you need It's obviously it's a kicker. You could there's always going to be a kicker of it I can't but it was available on the wire McPherson Um, Riker got dropped after his body. There's always going to be a kicker on the wire So if the weather does get extreme you're fine to drop pass But he is one of those guys I do like holding for the next uh for the long run assuming There's no extreme weather conditions. Uh, my guy is going to be cheaper or not cheaper exactly They're both going to be free, but like a widely owned Ryan Fitzgerald For uh, the Carolina Panthers. I mean, I know I mentioned uh, Bryce Young earlier But I do like their kicker as well. Obviously playing in the dome, New Orleans Guess that defense. They're going to be able to drive down the field Um, and this game is higher scoring. It's about like what a 48 and a half total right now I I like this game. I like Any piece in this game mostly but Ryan Fitzgerald. He should have some opportunities It could be him or Charlie Smith. Well, one of like the Saints kicker. I feel like somewhat one of the kickers in this game is going to go off Uh, I'd be betting on the one on the uh, I believe better offense with Carolina Do you have any take on Fitzgerald or is it just had him a plug and play? Okay. I have zero comments on Fitzgerald other than Yeah, it's a high total indoors. So That's good. And yeah, you know the Panthers can stall they still have offensive line issues So yeah, he's a decent streamer as well Perfect and that'll do it for a week 10 NFL waiver wire episode make sure to subscribe subscribe to the podcast You don't miss anything this season.
