It's the most valuable commodity I know of is the Toyota Camry. I'm going to go with Baker Mayfield at home against the Browns here had a disastrous opener against the Bengals he got sacked four times lost three fumbles but this is a good bounce back spot because we just saw Trevor Lawrence carve up this Browns defense mostly in the first half and then they were just able to sit on the ball in the second half. Hopefully you just drafted Trevor Lawrence and you don't even have to worry about streaming but this is a revenge game spot for Baker as well he is the type of person where that that stuff definitely matters he's definitely honest about you know getting pumped up for revenge games especially against a team that drafted him but he's also you know the white receiver room was a little banged up he wasn't able to practice with the buka for a couple weeks there Macmillan might still be out but. They're a team that I think it's going to just get better as the season goes on so this is a good bounce back spot again you know the Browns still have miles Garrett they still have some good pieces on defense but they're still the Browns we saw the Jaguars's roll over them so I think this is a good spot for Baker especially he uses legs a lot last week he had 30 rushing arts he always has that. Hidden upside so it's nice that he's tapping that but he opens the week as my QB 14 not not a great week for streamers so he's just the highest guy that's even available but I'm a stick with Baker here at QB 14. Yeah I like the revenge game narrative there at home you just had a stinker three fumbles the rushing touchdown he added on the ground to that was nice and that kind of made up for how bad he was as a pastor. The yards where he was at 7.7 yards per attempt he didn't throw a pick 82% completion everything looks good then it's like no touchdowns three fumbles and the game went over and like it felt like nobody went off. Jamar chase had a stinker T Higgins had a stinker chase Brown was like the only guy I felt like I mean Bucky Irving for so was the running backs really who only had a day at Buka Godwin just nothing really there despite a high scoring game and you hate to see that you hate to see like you know a game that you're starting everyone it feels like and nothing goes right but it's it's week one we move on where there's so many stinkers. And that we could we could have a whole pod talking about week one busts but it would get us to know where everything it's a week one but move it on to our B who is your pickup for the week. I'm sticking with Tyler LG here still available like half leagues which is kind of crazy not as crazy as Blake corn last year but still this is a guy that You know, he's probably Jeremiah loves backup, but he's playing a little bit more than a handcuff right now I mean he ended up having six more carries than love last week But he's also surprisingly more involved in the passing game than I expected you know in Atlanta It was really just kind of an early down grinder, but they're kind of using him as like a workhorse back and kind of interchanging him with love where he ended up You know, having more touches than love, but I think part of that is due to love coming back from the ankle injury We did expect him to be somewhat limited But before love even got hurt there was already word that Al Jir was probably gonna be Have a bigger role than anybody expected So I think for now In certain situations he could be a potential RB3 flex guy even if love healthy And then of course, you know, he has RB2 upside if love were to ever miss time How this week they do play the Seahawks. So it's it's really tough to trust him But still he should be on most people's bench like 50% of leagues is crazy to me He should be on somebody's bench at least in your league And again, like if if you're hurting at running back or once by week start Again with this current usage he could be in play as like a flex play and this isn't great news for Jeremiah love at all I think eventually love will become more of a workhorse back, but it might take First half of the season to get there. So I think in the meantime Algiers, you know, okay stash where, you know, I think he has a high floor high ceiling combo for your typical, you know, backup running back Yeah, totally. Algiers definitely a high end handcuffed just given that he can take on that workhorse role with his size He only had two targets last week. That's I mean that's a pretty decent for Tyler Algier He only had 16 last year 13 the year before yeah, and that was in 17 game seasons But yeah 19 touches is pretty incredible Regardless and I just don't know obviously how much you could trust him with love healthy But he gets the 49ers in giants after this week's matchup against the Seahawks So if that volume sustains he is definitely in spot starter territory against two weaker run defenses. So I'm Yeah, no, I have them in a few leagues and I'm holding on to him despite like kind of a fantasy dud But yeah, I'm definitely into Algier my guy here will be Kaylon black and he's available in 73% of leagues We saw him pretty much in a almost a 50/50 split with CMC CMC only played 55% of the snaps Kaylon black had about 43% and I mean, Kaylon's a weird profile. He had 44 receptions at James Madison in his first two years then he had eight total In Indiana and I mean he's clearly had the capability of catching passes So I think if that role does sustain if CMC were to go down He has some of the most upside at running back in that Shanahan offense that like among all handcuffs So he's a must have on the bench, especially with that week one usage Do I think that usage sustains? No, I think CMC's role will grow back to 70% or so, but his season low last year was 71% of the snaps He was playing 80% to even 90% at times last year and that was with Brian Robinson a capable backup behind him So Kaylon black week one maybe it was the Australia thing Maybe it was keeping CMC healthy after the tightness. That's all totally possible But even if black's playing 20% of the snaps you have to have them on your bench. How are you feeling about him? Yeah, I mean, I talked about in the league winter pod. I will say that I rather have had Black on my bench, which I do in a lot of leagues But I wouldn't want to have to bid on him Especially when CMC is actually healthy CMC was apparently dealing with cramps During the game, which is incredible that he was even able to play at all if that's true So when it comes to black like how much are you willing to actually spend on this week when CMC's technically healthy I think if if CMC were to suffer an injury and he was gonna mess like four to six games Black should be like, I don't know 80% or higher. I'm usually pretty aggressive Uh, when I know I can get like an RB2 For at least a handful of games, but like how much would you even be willing to spend on black if you don't even know When you'll be able to play him next I will say they play the dolphins this week. They're huge favorites He might be in play this week He's inside my top 40, but like how much would you be comfortable even spending for a guy that probably will be on your bench unless CMC's hurt I mean between now and week 10 he gets these are some of the matchups he gets dolphins cardinals commanders felkins raiders cowboys that's between now and week 10. So if that split is 65 35 he can definitely have spot starter value in that offense I mean those are were way worse defenses than the Rams even with a gimpie gear and no air in Donald. So I mean he had 15 touches. Do I expect again? Do I expect that? No, but if we could you know alter some of that to be a few more passes instead of rushes And he looked good. I thought I mean I was impressed with what he was doing He didn't obviously is not as good as CMC But I would bid right now 20 to 25% for sure to get him on my bench Unless you have like a short like five bench league in a 10 man or eight man Right, yeah, we're yeah, most of these guys you're not even gonna add for the most. Tyler Algiers available I think that black has more upside than Algier, but Algier probably has the higher floor But it's it's probably pretty close right now. I like both But again, that's why I kind of like to have these types of guys already on my bench as opposed to needing to bid for them Um, are there any like guys that are free that you like because uh For deeper leagues. This is really deep deep deep deep leagues Seon vaki of the lion. Oh, yeah, looks like he's the backup right so Jacob sailors did he even get us to have one rush. Oh one rush. Yeah, that's yeah, that's enough I made it anything but now you're never gonna play Seon vaki as long as jimmyer Gibbs is healthy But if Gibbs were to miss time right now. I thought they would bring in a veteran Yeah, if Gibbs were to miss time right now vaki would be you know an rb2. I think for sure Now if if Gibbs misses like the rest of the season Then they probably sign it back Like a cream hunter somebody else. I'm not thinking of And then that kind of tanks vaki's value, but if Gibbs were to miss like you know a few games were like okay We're just gonna trust vaki for a few games here get through it Don't need to say anybody that's the path for vaki Having rb2 value and I'm looking he's available in 100% of leagues So and he's a guy that you can probably get for free like I I'm not even saying you need to bid on him Maybe a couple bucks, but for deeper leagues if you have the space Having the lions backup running back is always a good idea So just worth throwing that out there Hopefully nothing happens to Gibbs But vaki appears to be his handcuff at the moment Yeah, Gibbs had what like a 95% snap share I haven't checked it was ridiculous. It was he played it was every every doubt he was every touch every doubt He was he had an amazing day too, so but I guess my deep sleepers like demon clayborn or yeah, I Yeah, there's no there's no as is a weird. It's an amazing name. I love it. I call him demon Just like I Jordan Mason's dealing with a swarthum Aaron Jones is obviously getting up there in ages about 32 uh if Jordan Mason were to miss you know time That I don't really know how much depth they have aside from from clayborn So this is a guy I'm really interested in I was impressed by him in college, but he's very small So it's more of a sustainability issue. He maybe he's keeping Mitchell Maybe he's more recently Elijah Mitchell and just you know can't stay healthy on the field not the early San Francisco Mitchell Where he had a few good fantasy games, but I mean he had 251 touches in 2024 207 in 2025 that was in college, but it was the ACC. So it wasn't like a super low level 23 touchdowns between those two years. So despite his size he did get into the end zone really fast Again, really small, but that Vikings offense. I don't know how much they're gonna trust Carson wants to throw every week whether they're not playing from you know to touchdowns behind I think they're gonna want to run the ball and if Mason misses time clayborn's really intriguing to me But have you have you checked him out you interested? Oh, yeah, I mean he was a healthy scratch this week Yeah, but he's a guy that later in the season because all it all he really needs is either Aaron Jones or Jordan Mason to miss time Which you know, that's an extra path than other running back. So I think um yeah later in the season Uh, he could get a crack at it, but I do like his upside and yeah, Mason is dealing with injury It's certainly in the week to know what's going on, but yeah, definitely a deep league stash for sure Definitely, and moving on to wide receiver. Uh, who is your pick up for the week I mean, there's a lot to choose from. I don't think there's really any league winners out there right now, but um the guy that caught my eye Uh, was Malik Washington Uh, he's available on a shit ton leagues. Let me see. It's like 86 percent of leagues which makes sense Uh, but he operated as the dolphins clear Uh, number one wide receiver. He ran around on 97 percent of dropback. So he only sat out one pass play Oh, you know, he had a modest game, three catches, 53 yards, but he had eight targets. And the crazy thing with him was he's kind of, he's kind of been like a lower A dot kind of gadget player, but his A dot was 16 yards downfield. So his catch rate's going to be lower, but that also means more upside, which is important because this Dolphin's team is not going to throw much and it seems like when they do, it's going to be downfield. So it's good to see that he's getting, you know, downfield targets. He's out there every snap and, you know, the Dolphins are going to be trailing every game. So we're going to see plenty of dropbacks each week. So I think he kind of has a sneaky floor ceiling combo. And again, he's operating as a clear White receiver one. I think Caleb Douglas is also interesting, but he's probably more of a boom bust weekly play, whereas I think Washington could be a sneaky like, you know, White receiver four, potentially White receiver three flex with this huge just because we didn't see any design Russian attempts, but I think they have those in store for him as well. So I think they're just trying to get the ball in his hands. So this isn't offense. I'm super excited to invest in in terms of the passing game. But I think initially, you know, Washington's worth a flyer if you need some depth. I think he kind of surprised me the most, but yeah, there's a lot of guys out there that think are kind of worth flyers right now. Yeah, no, Miami, it's going to be so hard. Yes, Malik Washington and Caleb Douglas both had, you know, respectable games, 15 targets combined between the two of them. I, I just can't get myself to pick up a dolphin's White receiver. They're playing, they were playing from behind and they're probably going to play from behind, but the Raiders took a pretty commanding lead early and that resulted in I mean 220 yards and 27 attempts from Malik Willis. So it's not like that called for crazy volume anyway. They didn't run much. They only had 18 rush attempts. This feels like an offense that you're just never going to want to trust in a deep relief. Absolutely. Washington and Douglas are both viable. I just, I can't get myself to pick them up just because I don't think either have the upside and at least within the framework of this offense, Malik Washington had a fantastic college career. He had like 111 receptions in his final season. He could be a fantasy monster. He could be a wandel robins and variant, but I just don't think with Malik Willis, it's going to get there even assuming they trail in most games because that's just like, yeah. I agree. It's not every week. You have a team's number one rider receiver available in like 90 percent of leagues. But White receiver, I mean, the way I draft the way I just handle fantasy is usually my drop ads every week are going to be kicker and defense because I stream those tight end a lot of times, like even though it's been a good start for us tight end streamers, like that's position. I think I'm going to be using the weather a lot, running backs obviously. White receiver, not a position I love needing to be adding people in season. You definitely, like, you need a good starting two or three however many start, you need a solid bench. You need like two or three good quality White receivers you can play any given week. Anytime you're like picking somebody up from the way where we're at White receiver and like needing to play them that week, that's a problem. And I try to avoid that at all costs. So I do not want to be pick up anybody. Yeah. Maybe Jaylen Cooker, but he's he's taken in a lot of leagues, but he's in semi top 30. Probably not going to have a game like that every week because they can't play the Bears every week. But yeah, a lot of the guys is right now. Oh, yeah. He's in the walking boot. Yeah. A lot of the guys that went off this week, the cleaf ramens of the week, you can't trust. So I would just leave him on the way or wire. Yeah. How much would you bid on Cooker if he is somehow available in your league, regardless of the way? Oh, again. Yeah. I think the ankle injury might help, especially if he's like popping up with a red cue on these things. I think that might help cool people off. You know, he's a guy where if you need a White receiver three, I would definitely bid something on him, I don't like default, be like 20, 30% or lower 15, 15, I don't think I would ever bid. I don't think you're going to get a 15, 15, 15. Well, that's fine. Yeah. I feel like people are going to go crazy with how good that game was that that's one of those, it's like my auction bidding strategy where I always bid 70% of how much I think the players worth. I had been 15% and just, you know, I guess pleasantly surprised if I get them. Yeah. No big deal. No big deal. Hopefully I don't need them. Yeah. Yeah. We'll have to monitor that injury, but hopefully, you know, hopefully it's okay. Yeah. Like, if you lost lad in the say or they're both questionable for this week, at least in the White receiver, I would definitely be willing to bid up to like 30% even with the ankle. I mean, if not more, just hey, go, it's fab at the end of the day. It's like you can't take it home with you. If you need a guy and that's the best guy available, not a crazy move at all. My guy here is going to be Romeo Dobbs because obviously the AJ Brown injury is unfortunate. That is six weeks. It sounds like they said three to six at first. But now it's sounding like a firm six despite no surgery on the table. But, you know, high ankles are finicky. That's why you're promoting Tyler LG earlier. Who knows what Jeremiah love that could be a limiting factor if he does re-inter that ankle and, you know, with AJ Brown, he might not be the same all season. He might get hurt again. This is just, it's a really unfortunate situation after week one. And I mean, unfortunate for a guy, so Drake may too, because that upside is, you know, a little lower than it was, you know, before week one now. So, I think Dobbs comes in, he wasn't the White receiver, too, even. Jack Collins was the lead White receiver in snaps last week, Dobbs only had three targets. And apparently he wasn't locked in whatever that means for the game after the fact he said something like that. That was ridiculous. He had a pretty bad drop, but it's week one. Dobbs has been a pretty, he's been consistent and improving every season. And he's been, he was on the same team. He was on the Packers for four years, he had a really good rapport with Jordan Love, especially in the playoffs. Yeah, his yards for target have gone up each season, six touchdowns last year, eight touchdowns in 2023. So he has touched down upside. He, I mean, he just never had a crazy target share, it was about 18.9% last year. It's pretty good, but if you could get that to 20 to 22% and with Drake may better quarterback than Jordan Love, I mean, with the de facto White receiver one role available, I, you have to have Dobbs on the bench. I'd be willing to right now drop 30 to 35% for sure to get him. Actually, you could probably get him cheaper. So I'd be willing to go to that high, but you could probably get him for like 20% with the Brown injury. Nobody's going to go crazy. Mario Douglas is the high target per out run. Two years ago, he had like a ridiculous one. Matt Collins had the production last week, but I just, I don't trust them on a week-to-week basis. Whereas with Dobbs, I've seen some really high highs. He was from weeks one to seven last year, averaging 13 points per game in PPR. He was a top 25 fantasy White receiver before the Watson return. I just trust the guy who's done it and can still do it and got paid to do it. So how are you feeling, Dobbs? Not great. I mean, he was the guy that I was kind of high on heading in the season, kind of where he was going, just to see what would happen. Obviously a horrific start. Really? Yeah, the AJ Brown injury does help, so he's kind of like, he was probably the most drop and added player of the week, right? I mean, he's got to be because I'm kind of split on him still. I think, I agree with you. I think that he has somebody I'd be interested in, like, stashing for now because AJ Brown's going to be out for at least four to six games, right? So that gives us enough right way to kind of like potentially get some good games from some of these guys. But the more I look into it, it kind of reminds me of like the bills last year who were just a nightmare at a project every week because they spread it around so much because hopefully we get, you guys, Trey Henderson back this week, he's going to command some targets hopefully in year two. Douglas, I think Douglas might be the higher floor guy, maybe picking up some of those like Stefan Diggs targets, but he's a guy where you kind of want the Patriots trailing, use more 11 personnel. If not, like if they're leading and running a lot, he's not going to be out there as much. So he's kind of dicey. Matt Collins, whether you like it or not, will be out there a shit ton going forward. Yeah. Not a guy that you can actually pick up and use either. Kyle Williams will occasionally have an ADR touchdown every few weeks, kind of like a younger Alec Pierce role, maybe Efton Chisholm. The third is activated, maybe he runs some routes, but I think Hunter Henry might be in the tight end one discussion now. I think he for for shadowing the tight end streamers. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. I like that. So I think that out of all these people, maybe Henry's the guy that is actually the one that we could trust. Yeah. No. I mean, I just, I think dobs for the upside and I'm not saying start him in week two, but he does get the Jaguars and Bill. So talking about GameScript, those might be two games where Patriots are forced to throw. And then he does get some decent, I mean, Raiders, Chets, Bears, Dolphins, Packers, Lions after that. And AJ Brown, he could be gone until after the week 11 buy, even with that four to six week timeline, they could take that extra time to get him right. I mean obviously week one loss doesn't help but there's some win-able games in the schedule They could be five and five before that buy and then bring AJ Brown back to you know juice up the end of the season get him back to full strength So yeah, dobs is my guy here and I'm sticking to it even with a zero reception Yard touchdown, etc. Game on three targets and just not being locked in a ridiculous comment But we'll see how that goes Just in time for the football season bet sink is back in the action app and it's better than ever Now you can automatically track your activity across 15 plus sportsbooks and prediction markets all in one place Connect your account once and your bets and trades will automatically appear in action as soon as you place them No manual tracking required from there follow your all your action with live probability In-game alerts and bed analysis throughout the game Just open the action app head-to-my accounts connector sports book or prediction market and you're ready to go Then we'll be action app and connect with bet seek for free today Hey, all right almost here.

They lost him. He's not around anymore obviously You've been around with the Patriots. They paid him recently extended him two years 16 million. So not a crazy payday I always say Eli Reredin had the The two yard touchdown in the Edzone, but that was his only target on 31 snaps I think this is a Smart place to go with one or the other if you don't get dobs get Henry If you need Titan get Henry first instead of dobs, it just it just depends on your situation Obviously your roster construction is gonna determine who you're more interested in if you play in the three wide receiver league It should be dobs regardless just because you need that extra depth Yeah, it sounds like you're high on Henry too. It's like this is pretty much a lockstep with me Yeah, I think just in terms of like who can we even trust to be you know relevant more times than not with AJ Brown out It's got to be hunter Henry because again like with dobs and Douglas Well specifically Douglas. He's gonna be game script dependent by Henry Henry could be a Titan one whether it's you know leading or trailing game script. So Yeah, I like him and Eli Reredin again. He was popping and my touchdown projections, but he's basically Austin Hooper You know last year we'd never be starting Austin Hooper Henry's the guy and again with AJ Brown gone, you know, they'll probably just game up more Looks for Henry. So I think he's definitely a good like multi-week streamer option if he's out there But yeah, like yeah, he opens the week Titan 13 Against the Steelers, but I think more times than not he's gonna be right on that Titan one Titan two French for me Definitely he's he's in start territory for me as well. I yeah, I would definitely pick him up. He has the history It's probably a higher floor than a ceiling guy, but at the same time seven touchdowns really efficient last year um rapport With May so I think they probably run a lot more 12 personnel With uh the AJ Brown injury Henry Reredin on the field at the same time Uh, and then dobs and Mac Holland says the starting wide receivers with Douglas coming in when they go 11 Yeah, Douglas it's just so hard to scale him up. That's that's the big problem with him because he is smaller Kind of slot only and I know he just must not be a great blocker. So that's kind of the big issue there But uh, yeah, who is your type other Titan streamer? I guess for this week. Uh, it's my guy Michael mayor Available in 75% of leagues still so um for some reason he's still out there I like him again this week Uh Clint kubiak did say that bowers is day to day right now But how how the hell can we believe a word that guy says at the moment? I think about that from what it sounds like bowers like you know, he had surgery I don't think he's gonna be ready this week. I think he's just being optimistic So we can't take anything kubiak says at the moment at face value So I think mayor gets another start this week and I mean his receiving line was pretty modest Yeah, six catches for 32 yards, but uh, let me remind everybody unless you have bowers or McBride getting six catches from your Titan streamer Is never bad Granted only one for 32 yards But if you look at that game the Raiders dominated they played the dolphins. They dominated that game. They just leaned on the run Especially in the second half Um, so if they're if they're in a game where they have to like throw all four quarters He could have ended up with 10 catches who the hell knows So this week, you know, they're at the chargers who Who knows what that means, but maybe they'll be trailing I mean, come on. Uh, we'll get some good. Let's see. It's it's here in LA So we'll get some good Madison beer content again. Thank God, but um, yeah, Michael mayor back in my top 10 I mean this guy he I thought he was gonna go in the first round a few years ago When he was a rookie Felt of the second round, but this guy's got, you know, first round talent Good two-way Titan where anytime bowers goes down. He's gonna be a Titan one for me But especially just the current setup for the Raiders and you know Kirk cousins Obviously trust him. He was targeting him when he was throwing last week. So I think this week Back inside my top 10. He's my Titan 10 nob in the week assuming, you know bowers are still out Yeah, led the team in targets 22% to 22.6% target share um, and like you mentioned it was a leading game script So who knows chargers coming up saints chiefs patriots bills rams When his bowers back Let's assume next week, but there's now re injury risk with this miniscus. There's he him needing a full Miniscus surgery if it is soreness or something pops up He had the PCL last year. So it's like this is becoming really concerning for bowers So mayor becomes what is rare, but a high-end Titan handcuff So if you're starting Titan is say Kyle pits or herald fan in or sam blaporta right now Who knows what happens with him after his back surgery if he gets back to form? I don't mind carrying two Titans and seeing what happens with bowers and mayor because Assuming bowers is still out mayor would be my top Titan [BLANK_AUDIO] among that group for the foreseeable future. And I think he would be for you as well. - Yeah, oh yeah, for sure, yeah. I'm a big, big Michael Marigay, and I will say I haven't ranked the head of Tucker Kraft right now. So again, not that that means he's gonna score more points, but it's been a good start to the season for people, like myself that just kind of punted. Titan, I imagine you're starting Michael Marigay this week and you're playing the team that drafted Brock Bowers. Imagine what a slap in the face that is. - That's a picture right there. That's you, you just got him on the waver. I was, I spent a little bit on, I didn't spend too much, like 5% of my fab on Mayer and Leagues, I had Harold Fanon because I just can't trust Fanon while Dishon Watson is starting. So like there's like a weird middle, I'm trying to find here where I'm starting Mayer and I'm hoping Bower's out maybe another week or two, just so I get shudder on the field for Fanon. But yeah, for the time being, Mayer's a good call. - Yep. - So I'm with you here, Mayer, Henry, both solid. Moving on to defense and kicker streamers, this is pretty cut and dry. I think you and I both agree. Who's our defense streamer? Let the people know. - On the count of three, one, two, three, Tampa Bay. - Yeah, Tampa Bay. That's whoever's playing the Bronx. Whoever's playing. - Whoever's at home against Dishon Watson, in Cleveland against Dishon Watson, if your defense is against Dishon Watson, set and forget, obviously this isn't a shocker. Like this is the least, yeah, go get them. They're available in like 95% of leagues right now. Would you use a waiver on them? Like you started O and one and you're like, I need the best defense. My defense isn't startable. - Oh, that's the week two. Would you use a waiver priority on the back in years? - That's a great question. I would never use a waiver for defense, but I do sprinkles from-- - Make season, yes. - Oh, yeah, well, obviously. - Yeah, but it's not late season. - No. - I do sprinkle some fab on defenses and kickers from time to time because again, I rarely really spend like a ton of fab in season because I usually have six or seven running backs on my bench anyway, so sorry. Oh, yes. Oh my God. You bought that yourself. - Yeah, I always fall into that. - But yeah, I definitely don't mind bidding like a dollar on them this week or a couple bucks a dollar, yeah. - For that, I get, yeah. - They're my defense one. - Yeah, so I mean, yeah, a couple bucks. - But you're playing Cleveland. - Yeah, exactly, and I don't see anybody else that like, or the packers, a team that's available probably. - I actually, I don't love the packers. I don't love the packers. - No, I'm saying like that. I never, I never really see a two point gap from my defense one to like defense seven. So this is a week where I think I would bid a couple bucks just to get my defensive streamer. And then I don't even know who they're playing next week, but probably not gonna use the Buccaneers defense. So you gotta be, you know, smart about it. But like you said, if you end the year with a bunch of fab left over, what was the point? So. - Oh, Buccaneers are at home against the Vikings in week three. So this could be a two week streamer. - Oh, yeah, I mean, once look, okay, but they should get some sacks. I will see how they look this week, right? If they, - Yeah, totally. - End up sacking lots in like six times. Well, actually, that won't be saying much. But yeah, maybe if they impress, I might consider keeping them around, but I think Rubin Bane, I think Rubin Bane, could be a stud. He had a quiet week one. Maybe gonna get off the slow start 'cause he's a rookie, but he could be a beast. Maybe they ball out this week. Again, they struggled with week one. They were facing the bangles. That's a brutal matchup. So I can't take away too much, but yeah, we'll see how they do this week. $2 for them to potentially use for a couple of weeks. You know, could do worse. - Totally, totally. And like, yeah, the bangles, I mean, they kept the bangles somewhat quiet. The bangles only really had their opportunities because the Buccaneers were our Baker Mayfield was fumbling. So yeah, moving on to kicker. Yeah, Eddie Pinero, this is Cut and Dry, home versus the Miami Dolphins. Amazing week one. He had one of the top kicker performances against the Rams who saw that coming. But yeah, I think we're pretty much agreeing here. Eddie Pinero is the top guy to get off waivers. - Yeah, he's my number one kicker. So we're in alignment. They're made the 50, 60 hour last week. Plus, they're at home against the Dolphins. They're huge favorites. Should be able to win with these, which, you know, we're gonna like settle for Fibbles more. Plus they're deal with injuries, you know. Kittles at 100%. Striblings out. They're limiting CMC, they're jet lags. So they might cross me and feel the ton of times and then stall out. So he could get a handful of Fibbles this week. She had trust when we take longer ones yet. Easily my top kicker this week. - Definitely, yeah. Now this is easy. There's nothing much else to that one. Yeah, and that'll do it for our week two NFL waivers episode. Make sure to subscribe to the podcast. You don't miss anything this season.
