Another fun week in a football.
Sean, aside from the RB injuries,
I feel like we had wide receivers, weak ones,
Zay flowers, Nika Collins, Vlad Maconky,
quarterbacks, weak two, Caleb, Jaden Daniels,
and then this week, it was the running backs.
Oh, Jackson dark two and weak two, excuse me.
But how are you dealing with this RB apocalypse after week three?
Yeah, it's been brutal, but that's why we stash back up running backs
because it's the position where most lead backs
take the most tackles per game.
They get hit over 15 times the violent game.
Last year, the running back position was pretty fortunate.
I feel like we didn't have that many injuries at all.
But we're already in week four.
We had a couple big running back injuries this week.
We're going to go over it on the waivers,
both of us kind of highlight the backups
that we're going to get to step up this week.
We finally saw Jalen Warren get his first true workhorse role
and look what happened, right?
So it, you know, injuries suck,
but it does open up opportunities for guys that typically don't get much work.
So yeah, so there's, you know, it's a bittersweet thing.
But yeah, this week was brutal for running backs.
Yeah, the 0RB guy who has a few of these backups,
probably in different leagues, a couple of them.
But yeah, they're probably happy this week for once.
Because yeah, last year, 0RB was kaput.
Like you said, RB stayed healthier,
but typically they are the position that takes the most hits
and most notably Devon H&N out for the year.
That's a killer. Hopefully you didn't have them on too many of your teams.
Well, both H&Ns technically got hurt.
So, you know, we had Travis, ETSN, Travis H&N, same guy.
He looks like he's going to miss him time.
Breeze Hall looks like he's going to miss him time.
But yeah, it looks like Devon H&N.
He's the only one that's like, you know,
he's officially out for the season with the ACL tear.
So the Miami Backfield is wide open for the rest of the season.
I know we'll discuss that, but a couple other opportunities as well.
For more like short term ads.
Definitely, definitely. Sadly, a chance.
The one you can outright drop.
But today we'll go position by position to see who's still available.
No sligs that you might want to keep an eye on on the way of why are these are guys
that are over 40% in Yahoo Leagues available.
So it takes over to quarterback.
Who is your top ad for week four?
All right, so assuming Tyler Schuck isn't available anymore in your league.
I don't know why he would.
But CJ Stroud's probably going to be the likely top ranked QB I have.
That should be available in your league.
He's available in 46% of leagues.
Stroud himself hasn't really been lighting it up so far through three games.
But he faces the Cowboys this week, which is an automatic boost to any quarterback right now.
Plus they, you know, they're traveling back from Brazil.
They just had that brutal loss to the Ravens.
Mainly due to their defense.
And they've now allowed two or more passing touchdowns to each team they face so far.
And they've really been facing mobile quarterbacks, like Jackson Dart,
Jane Daniels, slash Marcus Marriotta at Menlamar last week.
So, you know, Stroud's a pretty good bet to get two or more passing touchdowns this week,
which is pretty critical to his fantasy value.
But he gets Nico Collins back this week, hopefully back this week.
So, you know, yeah, exactly. So, I mean, if Nico's out, you know, I'm going to bump CJ Stroud down.
But they're, you know, the Texas team totals right around 25 points right now.
One of the highest of the week. So again, the chances of CJ Stroud getting two or more touchdowns this week
is way up this week. So yeah, he opens up as my QB 12.
And again, that's assuming Nico Collins is active.
But again, he's going to be a low one, QB 1 this week, probably for this week only.
So this is more of a true streaming option.
But I think CJ Stroud against the Cowboys checks all the boxes here.
Yeah, I'm with you. That would have been my top ad as well.
He took him from me.
Unfortunately, it's all good.
I look at Stroud, yes, with Nico Collins back, his ceiling is raised, floors raised.
He didn't really do too well in the first two weeks of the season.
But he had floor games. That's fine. It was about like 16 to 20 points,
depending on how your passing scoring works.
But overall, Cowboys defense right now, I can't believe how much worse they look.
Compared to the second half of last season after adding Quinn and Williams,
they've just been putrid. And I mean, a match up against the Ravens.
If Rio, that weird field, we didn't really know how that was going to go.
But that Ravens got nearly 400 total yards.
We saw them driving down the field consistently, fast-paced game.
Yeah, they're probably retired from that coming back and not an overseas flight quite like going to Australia.
But at the same time, it is a little bit of an impact on Stroud.
So I'm totally with you. He is a viable stream this week, holding him after this week really dependent.
If it's a seedling game, I think holding him for another week or two is worth it.
But overall, it's probably a one week kind of thing.
My guys, Kirk Cousins, three passing touchdowns in each of the first three games,
at home against the Chiefs available in virtually every league.
I think it's only 14% roster right now. I look at Kirk.
This Brock Bauer's edition, they're saying he was utilized like JSN.
Clint Kubiak turned him into Tyden JSN and used them all over the formation.
Got him, double digit targets, over 100 yards, scored a touchdown.
This was a fast-paced game against their boy Tyler Schuck.
But the Chiefs are going to put on those points against the Raiders.
So Cousins is going to have to throw.
Ashton Janty right now is looking a little bit better.
little gimpie, he had his ankle taped up as same ankle that he had, you know, the scare
of over the off season. Yeah, Mike Washington's running well, but if this running game isn't
going as well as we thought it would with Ash and Gentie leading the way and Gentie does
catch passes, it could be Kirk Cousins having to provide volume against the chiefs. How do
you feel about Cousins this week? Yeah, I like him and yeah, he's look great. Three touchdowns
now in all three games. Again, he's driving the Clint Kubiak engine here. Like this is
a great setup for him. And I'm jealous of anybody that took Fernando Mendoza a nurse.
Like his prop was like 2400 passing yards are probably looking good because it's hard
to see Mendoza starting anytime soon. He's basically getting paid to just post on LinkedIn
right now, but yeah, like Kirk Cousins has looked great. They're three and oh, so he's going
to keep starting as long as they keep winning. And yeah, getting Brock Bowers back was massive,
just really opens up this offense. So yeah, I mean, he's probably not like inside my top 15.
This is a tough tougher matchup against the chiefs. I think Spags will have a game plan
for him. But definitely in like two quarterback leagues, Cousins has certainly been a steal
so far. He's a type of guy that's going to have a higher floor than a lot of guys in
that GB2 tier. So yeah, I'm much higher on Kirk Cousins now than I was heading into the
season. That's for sure. Absolutely. I mean, back to back weeks with over 20 fantasy points.
I'm yeah, I'm not too excited to start Kirk, but if your options are Drake, May or Kirk
and I have May higher think Kirk, but it's like I wouldn't blame someone for being scared
off May right now. Moving on to running back. Who is your top ad for the week?
Yeah, it's well, it's complicated. I think that based on how much I think he'll go and
based on your situation. I think Braille and Alan is a sneaky flyer this week. I think
he's going to be pretty popular because Breeze Hall, you know, he's weak to weak with
thigh injury. We could get Jonah Coleman here, assuming Braille and Alan's healthy, but
Breeze Hall might play this week. So you got to be careful bidding on him. It seems
likely that he'll miss this week and maybe like next week he's a coin flip. He had the
MRI on the thigh and it's not as severe as they originally thought. So this all depends
on how long Breeze Hall is going to be out, but I think Hall will miss this week. And
based on just how the Jets have been using their running back so far, Braille and Alan's
kind of been the pass catching back, which really isn't his skill set. So, you know, he's
been the backup to Breeze Hall in early downs. He's been on passing downs and some goal
on situations. So I think Isaiah Davis is going to basically take that role from him and
Braille and Alan will just be in the kind of Breeze Hall role with the much more fancy
friendly snaps on early downs around the goal line. So, you know, I like him. He's my
RB 21 on the week. They face the Bears who ranked 28th in DBOA against the run. I wouldn't
get too scared away on his 3.2 yards per carry. It's kind of misleading because a lot of
the snaps he's been in are like clear running short yardage situations. If you look at
success rate, he rigged 20th, had a 44 qualified backs. So, again, like his efficiency doesn't
look great because he's on the field when defense is no, they're going to run it. He only
needs to pick up a couple yards. So, I think things are going to open up more first down
rounds, more second in long runs for him. I think his yards per carry is going to go up
especially against the Bears. So, if you're like, you know, on three, one and two, you need
running back help. I'd be more aggressive on Braille and Alan to get him for one or two
weeks. And then I think he's a good, you know, backup to have of Breeze Hall ever misses
time. He's going to offer RB 2-ish value. So, Braille and Alan's the kind of guy that
I think might be a little bit overlooked right now. Yeah. Braille and Alan, I think he's
a great stream against the Bears defense this week. That's the most important thing. He's
going to be in my top 24 RB is assuming Breeze Hall is out. He is weak to weak. So, Maya
something is Breeze is going to miss week 4. We'll see how it goes after the fact, but
they didn't really label the severity of this quad injury. So, there's still some ambiguity
for sure. But I think it's pretty safe to assume Breeze is out. Braille and Alan pretty
much a start. We saw last night. Bears are going to be on a short week. Bears defense.
I mean, they played up, but it was more so their past defense. They stopped Sequon in the
second half, but I believe there was only four rushes for the Eagles or like four Sequon
rushes last night for Sequon. Yeah. And Jalenhurtz, maybe it was after the concussion, everything
went wrong, but in the first half, the Eagles were dominating the line of script. They were
mauling the Bears. So, that defense, I still don't think it's good despite last night's
performance. They were bottom eight in rush DVOA entering week three. They were bottom eight
in 2025. Still pretty weak overall. And yeah, I'm going to want to start. Braille and Alan,
if you end up picking him up, because I mean, this Jets offense. I mean, the O-line's good.
Geno's playing well. Garrett Wilson, as long as he's out there, they have an alpha-wide receiver
180 Mitchell might be back. So, it could definitely be some points. And Case Keenum, look at him
last night. He was slinging it. So, assuming he's starting week four as well, there could be
some points in Chicago versus New York, which I don't think anyone would expect. My guy's
going to be Ollie Gordon, the Devon H&N replacement, which is not ideal because they're still
Jalen right. And they added Jerk West Hunter. They let go of Jerk West Hunter, brought him back
onto the practice squad. And he's probably going to be elevated and playing. But it's a gross
committee by all means. Ollie Gordon has the most upside. Looking at him, he's probably the most
trusted and pass pro. Five touchdowns on 100 career touches this far. Jalen right only has two
on 149 touches. Jalen right also has three fumbles in his career. Ollie Gordon has none. I mean,
it's short careers for both of them. It's not like we have the largest sample size. Both of them
have like half a season of touches for any real workhorse really to look upon. But Gordon's
efficiency is bad. Rites isn't great either. It was definitely better. Right was around, you know,
4.1 yards per attempt last year. Four yards per touch on his career. Ollie Gordon is pretty
egregious both, you know, yards per target under five yards per touch under four. It's not great,
but he profiles as the workhorse of anyone in this backfield. And Jalen right's coming off of
a foot injury. I don't want this. But given that HN's out for the season, you have to take a shot
on someone. And I think Ollie Gordon's the guy to take a shot on despite his poor efficiency. But
like you said with Braille and Allen, he is the short yardage back. He is the guy that they trust
around the goal line, you know, to get those dirty yards. Would you be willing to spend a little bit
to pick him up? Well, probably not more than other people. I think the issue with Ollie Gordon is
like everybody's going to be on him this week. And rightfully so, but you just have to understand
that like Jalen right was out last week. So when HN went down, I mean, it was the Ollie Gordon show.
So, you know, he had a massive workload, assuming rights back this week, which isn't even a guarantee
at this point. It's probably going to be a split backfield. And your boy, Jarcoe is hunter. I mean,
he might factor in the one, the one good thing I will say is HN's out for the season. So this,
this backfield's wide open for the rest of the season. So everybody has way more upside because of
that. And it's a dolphins or rebuilding team. I don't think they're going to like bring in a cream
hunt to just mess everything up. They're, they're just going to roll with whatever they have right
now. They have no incentive to bring in another running back. So I think it will be some mixture of
these guys that will have value. In a situation like this, I usually just kind of want to go at the
cheaper guy and just see what happened. And so like, I think taking a flyer on Jalen right who might
be even free this week would be the way to go. Or if you're a deeper lead, you can stash Jarcoe's
hunter or at least key tabs on him because again, if they elevate him, he might play more than
we think he might be the better back, all these backs suck. Holy Gordon, I mean, if you look at
success rate, I think that's the best way to kind of evaluate how well they're actually doing.
He rings dead laughs out of 44 running backs. This team sucks. I mean, we don't want a guy that's
going to rely on rushing touchdowns in this offense or even receiving work. I mean, well,
Malik Willis isn't going to dump it off. He's going to scramble. So it's like this. This is a
disaster team to kind of want a running back, but we kind of have to because HN's out for the year.
So yeah, I just think taking the cheaper back in this case, kind of like, kind of just going for
upside as opposed to bidding, you know, 40% of your fab on all like Gordon. And by next week,
you're not even playing him anymore. How much would you bid on all like Gordon? That's the question.
Like, what would you be comfortable? I'd bid 20 to 25% if I need a running back. If I had
breeze on Travis ETN and I'm like, I need a running back. If I need, if I need a short-term answer,
like you like, if I just eat
to flex for this week, maybe the week after I would go for
Braylon Allen. I would just get it, like, I'd get him cheaper.
I'd hope to get him cheaper, like 15%, 10%, 15%, but on
Ollie Gordon, I mean, people are going to bid crazy. I wouldn't
go 40% on Ollie Gordon, but for 20, 25%, the thing too is,
if you have death, you aren't necessarily in a position to
have to start him this week against the Vikings, which I don't
want to start Ollie Gordon this week. He's going to be
outside my top 30 RBs, but again, it's not a week to week
situation with Ollie. It's a long-term game. He could be a
second half or be not must start, but startable option. And
that's something you want on your bench, because I mean, he'd
offers us receiving upside. He was a high-spin candidate in
2023. He had 2,000 yards, 324 touches, 22 touchdowns, and I
know that's college, but he was considered a pretty high-end
running back prospect. He is not the fastest, but he is
capable of blocking on passing downs. He can catch passes. He
had, I mean, already he has more than jail and right yet 80
catches, 585 yards and 4 touchdowns in college. Big back 62225.
I just look at him as the guy with the most upside. Maybe he
could pull a, I mean, not to make an Oklahoma State comparison,
but a Chuba Hubbard, an early career Chuba Hubbard for the
Panthers, where it's like, oh, he's not the best running back,
but he's getting all these touches. And he is used at the goal
line. So it's like if you think, or if you need to build your
depth, Ollie Gordon's the answer, if you need a guy for now,
it's Braille and Alan, in my opinion. Yeah, for sure. And I
just think that even like 20, 25%, I could get behind that, I
guess. I just think somebody in your league is going to
over bit for you. Yeah, I just think every article out there has
all the Gordon at the top. Because yeah, he probably should
be the top add this week. But again, I think somebody's going
to bid too much. I don't know if I burn my number one waiver on
him if you're in that kind of format either. I just think like
getting guys like Keaton Mitchell might be free this week might
have more upside. Maybe you're not playing them this week. So
yeah, it depends on your situation. Like you said, if you're
desperate, you're oh and free, you need somebody. You are the
Miami dolphins of your league might as well just add Ollie
Gordon. But again, like I just think he's going to somebody's
going to bid too much on him. That's kind of how I do it. So I'm
kind of just like trying to get these guys that are a little bit
cheaper, knowing that Ollie Gordon probably should be the top
add if that makes sense. Yeah, I like Mitchell too, wouldn't
start him against the Seahawks this week. But he offers some
long term value as well. So if you want to yeah, arbitrage
a little if you want to get Keaton Mitchell instead, I mean,
I would still I would spend on Keaton Mitchell. I put about like 10%
15% even. So like the Braille and Alan range on Keaton, this
kind of the opposite. Braille and you're picking up to start
Keaton, you're picking up for long term upside. So it's it's
really parse your team figure out your obviously, you know, it's
your team. But yeah, like you said, someone's going to bid high
on Gordon. But if you manage to get him for 20%, 25%, that's
that's pretty good. If you need him, just again, know your team.
If you're in hell, if you're in RV hell, I don't blame you going
30 plus percent. I don't think it's crazy. Because it's like who
cares at the end of the day? If you're only three RV hell, yeah,
you got to do something. Go nuts. Go nuts. Okay, moving on
wide receiver, I actually think wide receivers where I wouldn't
be more excited for this week. There are actually some some
juicy ads. Who are you looking at at wide receiver? Yeah, I
think Keaton, Ella makes sense. If you just want more of a
steady high floor kind of fringe wide receiver 3 right now, he's
a good option. He's available on 78% of leagues. But he's, you
know, seen a 27% target rate so far. So he now has two six
catch games and three games. What you get is nice. If you just
need a handful of points from your wide receiver slot, that's
the position you're in. He's like the perfect guy for that, at
least until he gets, you know, potentially suspended for his DUI.
And, you know, that even the week two game, he was getting a ton
of targets. He ended with one catch for five yards. I thought
they should give him a breathalyzer check just in case during
that game. But outside of that one game, he's looked fine. I
mean, he dangle Jones, trust him, even though they have Josh
Downs and Tyler Warren there, he's still getting plenty of
targets. So he's the kind of guy where you can kind of bank on
hand full of catches the game, which some teams kind of need
that. So I like Keenan Allen here, opens the week as my
wide receiver 37. So that's kind of what you're getting with
him. And then I think the long term high upside play is
Jordan Tyson still available on half the leagues. He's going to be
eligible next week. And Nick Underhill, the guy that like
obsesses over the Saints is kind of like a beatwriter for them. He
seems to think that he's progressing well enough to play next
week. So not that we would put him in our lineups next week. But
if he's healthy enough to be playing next week, he could be in
our lineups by week seven week eight, especially once, you
know, the buy start to hit that's going to be huge having someone
like him on your bench that you could add right now for free
maybe I think next week, he might be one of the top ads if it's
known that oh, he's playing this week, everyone's going to want to
add him, you can get ahead on that. You don't even need an IR
slot to kind of stash him. I know, I know everybody needs people
to drop to add all these guys, but I think we have enough
information these first few weeks that it's kind of easier to
drop guys like Marvin Harrison Jr. I think he's a drop now.
Brian Thomas Jr. He's not been playing right. Yeah, Brian
Johnson pie. Yeah, so we have a little bit more confidence in
dropping some of these guys. Now it could backfire, but that's
that's why we love fancy football. But having a guy like Jordan
Tyson who has upside, I think makes a ton of sense is kind of
like a long term play more of a investment. So he's still
out there in half leagues. He'd be somebody I would consider if
you have the space to, you know, stash what he's a potential
White receiver three plus maybe more. If a lot of him is
this time or June or Valegher, it's I think he has White
receiver two with an injury to Juana Rayleigh. I think it's
White receiver one. If I love him, this is timing that that's
a ceiling. He's a top 10 White receiver for a reason.
And of his hamstrings can stay okay, again, it's we have to
tell the jury still out if he can if he can stay healthy. But
again, this is the kind of guy that I like to fly around where
if he stays healthy, that's the only caveat signing up for
that. So in deeper leagues, especially if you start three
White receivers, we got to start considering stashing him
somewhere. I would stash him into White receiver leagues. I
have him on my IR spot. And it's happened. I love Jordan
Tyson hamstrings definitely a concern. That's not that's so
obvious. He's been dealing with it for a calendar year now. I
don't or the entire calendar. I don't he's had this hamstring
injury since last season for Arizona State. He's so good. He
is so good. He's been dominant since his true freshman year at
Colorado. It's just really just staying on the field. And I
I do think playing alongside Chris Olave at least initially
will help a lot week five against the Vikings. You're not
starting him that week, even though they're at home, their
week eight by is actually really handy. Because they could
short like they could slow play him initially, like a
limit of snaps 30 to 40 50% initially for the first three
weeks by week. Then let him full go because I don't think they
want to risk. I mean, even though they're actually they're
kind of good this year. The defense isn't great, but like the
offense is so good, they might win some more games. They
want to have him on the field for the second half. And they
want to, you know, they come back week nine week 10 Cleveland
Browns and then Carolina Panthers. Well, look at his
starch. Yeah, look at his playoff schedule. You got bucking
ears, carnals and falcons. Oh, love that. Yeah, love that.
I'm all with you. I would definitely prefer Tyson over Alan.
Alan, it's like, you're right. It's safe. It's floor. But it's
like how desperate are you for that? Yeah, three people might be
some people. Yeah, you're getting seven at eight points from your
number three white receiver. Some people would love that.
So again, it depends on your situation, you're not adding him to
start him over, you know, a legit white receiver three. But
if you're desperate, need a floor play, as long as he's still
active in playing, I think you could do worse. Yeah, it definitely
could do worse. It's just yeah, Tyson's who I'm bending for. And
you could still put him on your IR and have another spot to
add. I mean, if you don't, I would still prefer him on my bench
to a lot of other guys. But not these guys, though, Jacobi Myers,
56% available. He's playing a full snap share. He is their
white receiver one in snaps eight targets last week. He has two
touchdowns already. Parker Washington's the guy Parker Washington's
the alpha in targets. Jacobi only has 11 to Parker's 23. But he
is at 12 yards per target, same amount of touchdowns. And with
Brian Tom's junior, kind of like his role eroding, basically
overall, because it's like they don't trust Brian Tom's junior at all. Josh
Cameron was nearly pacing him last week. Josh Cameron is two
touchdowns. Brian Tom's junior is none. Not that touchdowns are
everything, but like they don't trust Brian Tom's junior. And
Jacobi Myers, they paid him last year, viable blocker. He's
just a trust
did dirty work kind of guy, he could definitely see five, six targets weekly, if not more,
and be the second fiddle to Parker Washington, and maybe even nuts that catch up, but like,
be damn close.
And over 50% available, are you into Jacobi Myers this week?
Yeah, I thought I thought he was sneaky heading in the season.
I would kind of put him in the Keenan Allen bucket of just a high four wide receiver three,
which is certainly valuable for a lot of people out there.
So let's be real Parker Washington's the guy.
I mean, he's one of the best receivers in the league right now.
But again, they're kind of like phasing Brian Thomas Jr. out, Travis Hunter isn't even
an option anymore.
So yeah, he's like the clear cut number two target in this offense.
And there's plenty of passing to go around.
They've had a pretty tough schedule to start.
Things will start to open up.
The bangles is a great spot.
So I have Myers as my wide receiver 30.
Yeah.
Again, he's not just a high four guy, he has upside two.
So yeah, if he's out there, I would definitely prefer him over Keenan Allen, because Keenan
Allen might get suspended at some point, but you might have to spend a little bit more
on him.
So that's the only thing that I'd worry about.
But yeah, Jacobi Myers, love him.
I think he's underrated right now in fantasy, but yeah, just a solid wide receiver three,
which a lot of people kind of need that right now.
Yeah, underrated his whole career.
I think last year he was a top 75 pick, given that he was the wide receiver one, a de facto
wide receiver one on the raiders, everybody was like, they have to throw to someone.
And they kind of didn't.
He wanted out.
And then even with the Jaguars after he got traded, he wasn't that great because of the
Parker Washington breakout, but they finally seemed to be figuring out how to integrate him.
And he had a thumb injury entering the year.
So that could have resulted in the lower targets in the first few games.
It's healthy now.
I would definitely be I would I would be willing to bid a good amount of healthy chunk, 20%
to get Jacobi Myers, especially if you need to starter this week against the Bengals high
scoring game, attach to Trevor Lawrence.
That's the biggest thing to why I prefer him over Alan.
I mean, he's younger than Alan, not going to get suspended and he's attached to Trevor
Lawrence rather than Daniel Jones.
So love myself, some Jacobi Myers this week and moving forward, but also tray Harris
of the chargers.
He's playing like he's been playing a full snap share, kind of dropped last week.
I believe it was 58% but that was with Lad McConkey getting healthier.
Quentin Johnson played a season high in snaps, but that might not sustain with 17 targets
in 64 yards, no touchdowns, six catches on those 17 targets.
QJ's role might diminish in the coming weeks.
It's not quite the Brian Thomas junior yet, but I could see him going along that path sooner
than later and tray Harris getting back to that 70 plus snap share, if not 80 plus,
that he played in the first two weeks, well, he played 70% plus, but he could be playing
a full array of snaps.
And I mean, he was a dominant college receiver at the end of his career in Ole Miss.
He can offer some upside and Daniel may be loving him more than QJ throughout the rest
of the season.
I want to see what can happen with tray Harris rest of the season.
How do you feel?
Yeah, I think he's more of an investment.
You can't play him this week against the Seahawks, you can't play him when everyone's
healthy, but McDaniel has said that he likes him and you can tell like his target it's
pretty consistent every week.
It's right around 22% on the season.
The tight end room is a disaster right now.
Gatson really didn't draw that many targets, so it's pretty consolidated target share
right now.
If Lad or Quentin were to miss time, then tray would be kind of an automatic.
White receiver three, but yeah, like you're kind of alluding to Quentin Johnson, he could
leapfrog Quentin at any time, and then be a potential White receiver three weekend
week out.
But yeah, he's more of an investment.
He's my White receiver 52 this week against the Seahawks.
And if you need points this week, he and Alan Jacobi Myers are your guys.
But investments, tray Harris and Jordan Tyson would make a ton of sense.
So it depends on what your situation is, my opinion.
Definitely.
It's a bench upside stash, but he's second on the of the chargers and targets, second
in yards, 9.3 yards per target after 7.5 last year.
I want to see what can happen, especially if you need upside at White receiver, if you're
starting at Quentin, Alan, I definitely want to tray Harris on the bench to, you know,
for the future.
So yeah, that's definitely my next favorite ad.

Mabel Kids
Everything Kids love.
Okay.
Tide End.
Who's your top ad?
It's got to be Kenny Oncedeek, available on 81% of leagues.
I assume that's going to change pretty rapidly this week.
After his breakout game, seven catches, 105 yards and a touchdown.
Again, I had mentioned he's a first round rookie.
Usually these types of tight ends have been league winners the last few seasons, but he kind
of had an uphill battle to begin the season.
He was dealing with that growing injury, so he was kind of limited.
They already have Garrett Wilson, who's the alpha in the soft fence, but 80 Mitchell was
also commanding targets.
They still have Mason Taylor, who's commanding playing time and targets.
So, you know, with Mitchell out, Taylor out, facing the Lions, that was really, you know,
the perfect storm for Sadeek to have his breakout game.
And the fill matches the stat line.
If you watch him, he looks like a wider zebra out there.
He's extremely talented.
I think he'll be a top 10 Tide End for years to come, potentially.
So, however, kind of like Dalton Schultz last week, I think people are going to bid heavily
on him, and I would just be a little careful because, you know, Mitchell and Taylor might
be back this week, and it'll be a little bit harder for Sadeek to kind of provide Tide
End one guy a weekend week out, so he's my Tide End 11 to open the week, and it just seems
like every week there's going to be Tide Ends that pop up.
So, I would be careful how much, you know, you bid on him, but having said that, he does
have, you know, long-term Tide End one upside, because I think he earned a bigger role going
forward anyway.
So, he's a tricky, you know, guy to kind of cap this week because, again, how much would
you bid on him if you were desperate for a Tide End?
Like 20%, but I feel like it's like the Schultz conundrum last week where it's like, don't
over bid on him because it's going to be whack-a-mole streaming Tide End weekend week out.
I think the key was, last week, when Mitchell and Taylor were out, you know, Adam then,
just take a swing on him then, against the Lions, and then you might get him for free.
I don't like spending too much draft capital or fab on Tide Ends because, again, it's just
a crapshoot weekend we got where we can kind of get these kind of guys in spurts on
the cheap.
Yeah, it really, like if you lost Gotter and you're streaming, I guess I'd be willing to
bid that like 10% to 15% for sure.
Colston Loveland, like, are you going to bench Colston Loveland?
I mean, Case Kingdom is going to be out over the next two, three weeks.
Colston Loveland was like an inch away from scoring.
It looks like they have a decent connection.
I still like Lo-- I don't think Loveland's dead in the water.
They get the jets this week, jets defense is better, but it's still not very good, especially
the secondary.
That's basically where the conversation comes because Harold Fanon woke up last week in
a big way with two touchdowns.
Are you going to bench Fanon for Sadeek?
I think they're-- No, you can't.
Yeah, they're close, but it's like, what is your situation?
Travis Kelsey looks like Travis Kelsey.
George Kittle looks like George Kittle after the Achilles.
How deep of a league do you have to be?
It's like a 14-man league, probably, to really want a bid on Sadeek because you probably
have a startable tight end on your roster.
Unless your guy is like Hunter Henry right now, I don't think bidding more than 15% max
because he played 58% of the snaps, which is fantastic for the production he had.
But Taylor's going to be back.
Mitchell's going to be back.
Cooper's going to be back for the rest of the season eventually.
Sadeek's my guy too for this week, but tight end is, like you said, a crap shoot weekly.
If you have Joanne Johnson, are you benching Sadeek or is Joanne for Sadeek?
Probably can't.
Yeah.
Well, you can't bid on Sadeek if you have Joanne because you kind of hurt a little bit.
Hi.
Well, you already have your cheap guy that you're kind of already been cashed in on.
What do you have two touchdowns last week?
Yeah.
If you like Jake Ferguson, maybe?
That's like if that's your start I mean he scored a few times, but he doesn't look great
He's fumbling, but like yeah, you have to be in such a dire situation at tight end where like the rest of your league is hoarding
Everyone to want a bid like 15 to 20 percent
But I don't think it's crazy if that's the scenario right
He should be the top it he should command the biggest
Uh bid this week to get for sure
Should you be the one that
Does that it depends you should put it depends 15 percent and if you get him
Fantastic your league, you know drop the ball on that, but he's probably gonna go for way more again
It always sucks when they put up like a massive stat line like Dalton Schultz coming off a 12 catch
140 are getting your spirit. You can't you're gonna have to bid too much to get him and then
Tight end position overall is just loaded right now more teams are using two three tight end personnel
So like you said cool. I still love Colson leveling. He's my tight end 15
Uh, but Darren Waller's lurking. I mean Darren Waller could be free this week. He's gonna focus her
It's like you could be starting wall or two. It's like there's so many it sucks. There's so many options for once
Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying and Tucker craft
Uh tight end five AP tight end five ADP. He's sitting there in the middle of this, you know mix
So that's why that's why it's like I always just like to have the cheaper guys. Yeah
Would have loved to have to eat last week and just heading into this week if you already had him great
But having the bid a ton of fab weekend. We go on these guys when
Next week, there's gonna be something that's gonna pop up or you know somebody like you say
People's trash is another man's treasure someone might drop Colson. Love them this week or something stupid
Pick him up, you know, I would bid all my fab. Okay, not all but like I would be well obviously like 50% plus for love
I still think he's the guy or he's he's so good. Yeah, he's they'll figure it out. He's gonna be fine with Keenan
It's just like yeah, all these like Kyle pets on the other hand. I don't know. Okay. Okay, Kyle Pitch is your guy
Then I don't then I'd do the 20% on the D because Kyle Pitch. Yeah, that's rough. Yeah, it might be hopeless
For until or if London gets hurt then Pitch is suddenly tied in one somehow
But yeah, what was his what was his ADP tight and four? I mean imagine having all these caveats for your tits or was it tight and
He was like these guys
Titan eight craft was like Titan five
Laporta's doing fine. Laporta's fine. Yeah, so it's really you have to be in dire
Yeah, it's it's these guys those fringe guys that like I said you you spend a little too much draft capital
We're a little too nervous to drop them early in the season
That's why I don't like drafting those guys. We're like
Like you Laporta's fine kiddles fine. They went in that range, but
Like you got to be comfortable dropping. I like pits
Uh, and picking up one of these flavors of the week. That's just how the position is
That's kind of what I was saying
Heading in the season, but yeah, it's tricky. I wouldn't over bid unseady, but I can't I can't fault you
He could be yeah, you know like I said like we've seen Laporta can cave hours all these like rookies
Just erupt right out of the gate. He could be like he has similar skill set
He's very talented could be the next one, but again, you just can't be
Blowing all your fab every week on these tight ends coming off of you know their best game of the season
Yeah, that was probably that's probably his ceiling because that line secondary is a special kind of bad right now
Safety's cornerbacks everything is bad and that was a high scoring game
They're gonna have to throw more with breeze out, but breeze will be back in the next few weeks probably
So I yeah, you have to be
Conscious of your team construction, but if you get him for cheap if you get sedic for cheap. He's on your bench
That's fantastic. You could also trade him too down the road. So that's always an option
But uh moving on that defense. Who is your streamer of the week?
Uh, man, it's it's a rough week for streamers because all the good defenses have the best matchups
But I'll go to the packers here
They're available in 68% of leagues
Um, again, you know, they're missing Micah Parsons, so they're not at full strength
But they are facing the Buccaneers who are gonna have to start rookie Jalen Daniels this week
Daniels through interception on just four drop-backs last week after Baker went down
So he has turnover upside
He's a very good running quarterback
So uh, you might not be easy to sack, but we've seen guys like Malik Willis
Um, you know, have a high sack rate. So who knows they they might be, you know, solid play this week
So I'm I'm gonna go at the packers. They open up as my number six defense
Um, but again, I think just picking on a rookie making his first start here makes sense
Yeah, definitely uh Jalen Daniels
Over three. I mean he threw the pick at the end. They was kind of a desperation kind of play so
Uh, he did look really good in the preseason. That's why he's quarterback two on this team right now. Yeah
He had some interesting moments at Kansas. He was there for six or seven years
But uh, I don't know what to make of him. Uh, I'm really scared for the Buccaneers skill
Players like all of them. I don't know what to do. This feels like
Like hell for anyone with
We'll definitely go over that on the production. We will because I have a lot to say with it
Yeah, I'm sure Dale's himself might be a good play because he runs so much, but that's not good for everybody else
Ah, yeah, that'll that'll do it, but yeah, no packers defense definitely a top 10
Option for me this week despite them being so poor, but they're coming off
Thursday football so little extra rest always helps Buccaneers online weirdly not good or I mean
Below expectation considering they have some high end pieces with like worth some Barton
Uh, I mean Bakers been getting killed this year and Baker does tend to get himself into trouble, but
Yeah, he's out. I definitely I'm open to the packers. I'd like to but I'd prefer the Ravens home versus Tennessee
home versus cam ward
Fire it up Ravens defense coming off of a high-paced game like, you know, the Cowboys like we discussed earlier
They I mean they were in the same game obviously they're coming off of Rio, but if you're facing cam ward right now
I mean if you're a defense-facing cam ward, I want to stream you
Uh, this is this is not a serious offense
Tony Pollard had some moments in week three, but at the same time. I mean Taiji spears has hurt
So that's one less weapon
Wandel Robinson inefficient is ever carnal tape. He's looking okay, but this offense is not serious the online loss
They're starting left guard. I want to say who's a fifth round rookie
That was starting at left guard
Yeah, give me the Ravens available in 40% of leagues right now if they should be rostered in 100% and started
Yeah, they're they're the kind of team where um, you know, I'd bid like one fab dollar just to get them
If they're available, they have a good schedule though, so I would be willing to go a little more
Ravens after this cowboys. Yeah, well, I mean it's up to you if you want to spend more than one buck of your fab
Undefense I can five five five five. Okay, five whole fab bucks. You can have them, but
You know
Yeah, I mean again, it's such it's such a bad week for streamers that
Yeah, I couldn't fault you for that especially if you think that you're gonna play them a handful of weeks
Then I'm then I'm totally fine with it
Definitely moving on to kicker real quick shine. Who's your top ad?
Uh will riker uh again, but real the yeah my favorite kicker um
Baible in 42% league. So, you know, it might not be available in your league, but if he is
I bid a couple bucks on him. They're at home against the dolphins
Might be the best kicker in the league not named Brandon Aubrey again in my model
I am factoring out his two miskicks that hit wires and cables and other bullshit that were in the way
um
And yeah, he's just money at home. He has the leg to make 50 plus yarders
With ease again, it's against the dolphins
So they're gonna be more willing to just settle for field goals. It's gonna have extra points
So uh will riker all the way another guy that you know if you want to sit here streaming kickers every week
Fantastic guide. This is rollout there every week if you want. Yeah
Yeah, well the thrill of it
This is a fantastic matchup. They're not gonna have to force the issue with touchdowns because my army's not gonna put up many points
Against the Vikings and Kyler Murray. He did not look great. So they're gonna settle
Uh, my guy's gonna be Chris Boswell 83% I prefer well I prefer riker
I'm not but if he's rostered you just dreamer uh at Cleveland
short week
And I mean Boswell he was I think the top kicker in fancy football two years ago
So he has the upside and he's had some we he's coming off for a really good kicking week
I don't think the Steelers offense is incredible
But they can drive down the field. I mean they look they look the part against the Bengals last week
But uh, it's always tough on a short week
Rogers not great, but he's dinkin and Duncan not too efficient, but he's not making mistakes
Uh McCarthy loves to kick we saw that with him in uh Dallas
That was also with Brandon already but Chris Boswell is one of the better kickers in the league
Uh at Cleveland. They're gonna it's not gonna be the highest scoring game
But that defense is not as good without miles Garrett
I I definitely like Boswell this week and that'll do it for a week for NFL week for waveers episodes
