Let's go, Mavs. Taking a look at the waiver wire, an early look at the waiver wire with Jamie Eisenberg right now on FFT Express. What's up, Jamie? What's up, my friend? Oh, you know, just waiting to make some waiver claims. I feel like there's gonna be a lot of players to pick up. Tank Dell, is he number one? Tank Dell's not number one. This is a running back week, so Tank Dell's the first one to pick up. But this is definitely a week to worry about the backfield because of what's happening in New England, what's potentially still gonna go on in New Orleans, I think what could happen in Arizona, and then there's gonna be potentially a lot of moves and things that go on tomorrow throughout the day if any trades happen. So the Colts backfield, for example, could be something to keep an eye on. I'm just gonna tell you that the most exciting thing for me this week on the waiver wire will be dropping Devin Singletary. I'm gonna just be thrilled to do it because Scadaboo will be back and some dead weight off my roster. Very spiteful. All right, so who are the running backs to get? So as of now, you know, we got a little bit of an update from Mike Vrabel, the Patriots coach on Monday, which is really no update because they said they have no update yet on Ramondre Stevenson. Now they traveled to Germany to play in the Europe game this week for week 10 and then they have a bye after that. At this point, I don't know if we're gonna get Stevenson or Trevion Henderson. Andre Stevenson or Trevion Henderson. Stevenson dealing with a knee injury. Henderson with his medical condition, which could just make Corey Kiner the featured running back here. So I think you got to put him first on the list. And if you need somebody for this week, I think he qualifies as a number two running back. I know the Detroit run defense has been good, but still any amount of work and Stevenson and tough matchups has come through. We know what Henderson has been when Stevenson was not there over the last two years. So I think there's just an opportunity for Kiner to be at least a flex, potentially a starter in all leagues. Audrick Estimé just had a very strong game for the Saints. We don't know if Travis A. Chan is going to return for week nine. It feels like, based on how they used Alvin Kamara, that they're gonna lean on Estimé quite a bit. And it's the best matchup on the table against the Carolina Panthers. He might be the number one running back to go get, you know. So by the time we talk Tuesday, I may have switched that just because, you know, you're looking injury versus starter or guaranteed. I shouldn't say starter. Injury versus, injury potential replacement versus guy who could be starter. And Estimé might be just the number one player to go get. So let's call that one A and one B. Then to me, Zonovan Knight, Tyler Algier did Tyler Algier things. He failed to impress in a tough matchup against Seattle. And as we know, when Jeremiah Love was initially injured, the two previous times he was injured, it was Knight as the better running back than Algier. So not another tough game for them, for the Cardinals. As they take on the Rams. But I still think that if Knight is available, he's worth picking up as well. So those will be the top three running backs I'd look to get. And then Seth McGowan could easily trump all of them if there is no, uh, Jonathan Taylor no longer, if Jonathan Taylor no longer remains on the Colts roster. Yeah. And if we don't know that by, you know, you'll, you'll know that by the time you have to make your waiver claims for sure. Uh, so Jeremiah Love, by the way, out for at least three more games, Rams at the chiefs and Washington, not the best schedule, uh, but, uh, you know, as out of a night is certainly interesting at 39% rostered, uh, tank Dell, the number one wide receiver, who else are we looking at? So Dell would be one. I think once you get past Dell, I'm a little torn on too, because you have some bi-week situations to keep an eye on here. I think McKay Lemon has played well enough that he should be rostered across the board. We just don't know when Devante Smith and Dontavion Wicks one or both, if they're going to return at some point after the buy, you would hope that I know for your case, that Smith does return. Um, but you know, you'd like to see those guys back on the field and then how they use lemon. So I think that's a good idea. I think that's a good idea. Uh, and I, we also don't know if Cardinal Tate's going to come back last game for the Titans was great for Wanda Robinson. And so that's somebody that I think fantasy managers might not pay attention to because Tate's probably going to get projections in, at least on our side. I know he will. Um, he's expected to return, but we just don't know what that shoulder injury and Wanda Robinson had a stretch of about 11, three, he had a stretch of three straight games with 11 or more PPR points. So he could be somebody, uh, against Jacksonville, you know, it'll be throwing obviously easier to throw on Jacksonville than run on Jacksonville. So I think he's going to he's worth a look. Uh, you have Ryan Flanoy in case George Pickens is back. He clearly did not impress fantasy wise, but he'd have a big play down the field. Could have had a touchdown as well. Uh, you have, um, you have Antonio Williams who also didn't impress, you know, still with the injuries to the commanders. I wouldn't buy into Van Jefferson, but I think Williams is still worth, uh, worth a look. You have Pat Bryant in case coming off the bi-week that Jalen Waddle's not healthy with the concussion, although you expect he should be back at that point. Uh, and then just another, you know, uh, opportunity, maybe from Malik Washington, just because the Dolphins have a favorable matchup this week against Colts. Cool. All right. We'll take a break here and we'll talk about quarterbacks when we come back. Remember we have four teams on a buy next week and we got some pretty darn good players, Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, and Tampa Bay on a buy. So, um, well, do you need a quarterback? You do if you're Caleb Williams manager, other than that, maybe not. We'll be right back on FFT. If you've never been to Kansas city, consider this your sign. We spent a weekend there and the food alone was worth the trip. Burnt in, cheesy corn and smoked sausage all in one sitting. We also checked out the jazz history in the 18th and vine district and took pictures with the giant shuttlecocks on the lawn of Nelson Atkins museum. Kansas city is friendlier and more fun than people give it credit for. But while I was often exploring this amazing city, my place back home just sat empty. That's where Airbnb comes in. If you plan to be away this holiday season, you could list your space on Airbnb and earn a little extra cash while you travel. Rather than letting your home sit empty, someone visiting your area gets to experience it like a local, and you can put that extra income towards your own travel expenses. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com slash host. So quarterbacks to look at for a week 10. I guess I should add one more receiver because I didn't realize he was still under the threshold and it ties into the quarterback and that's Adonai Mitchell. I know he was bad this past week, but they're pretty good. They're pretty good. They're pretty good. They're pretty good. They're playing Buffalo. Buffalo's secondary has been bad. We're recording this before Monday night's game. I'm going to guess if Carson Wentz is performing well, you'll see the Vikings receivers have a good game. So Adonai Mitchell should still be on your radar. And then Geno Smith struggled against the Chiefs two previous games. He was great against the Raiders and the Dolphins. I think this will be a game where he has some more success, not trustworthy, but he would be my favorite quarterback to go get. You have Aaron Rodgers coming back from his bye week, taking up a matchup that you can trust. And then the third quarterback I have is going to be making his debut with his new team. And that's Jacoby Brissett. He gets the Chargers on Monday night next week. So week 10, hopefully Brissett will be well versed enough in the Ravens offense and can be productive to the levels that typically help Jacoby Brissett. Cool. And to the tight ends. Weird mix this week because I think you can make a case for about four or five different players. Now we're waiting to find out the news on Puka Nakua. And if he's going to miss any time, if he's out, I don't think it's Jordan Winnington and Kanata Monfield and these guys, it's going to be a tight end, probably schemed up offense for them. So no Terrence Ferguson. I think Tyler Higby probably makes the most sense to put him at the top of the list. That being said, you also have Darren Waller coming off this huge game for the Panthers. Is it worth buying into? I'm still a little sketchy on that, but clearly after a game that he just had, he should be on your radar. I'm still very interested in Chico Conco. I didn't love the matchup against the Rams. We know that prior to the Terry McLaurin injury in the two games that he played, he was a big part of the offense. And I thought he made some, he took advantage of some of the opportunities he had against Los Angeles. So hopefully with a better matchup this week against the Giants, he can be at least a low end starter, but somebody that should be worth your interest. And then the Raiders, obviously a lot of moving parts, potentially if they trade Kirk Cousins, if they decide to bench Kirk Cousins and go to Mendoza, but Michael Mayer should have had a monster game this past week against the 49ers had two touchdowns, one on a penalty, one on a fumble that he was reaching the ball into the end zone. I still think Michael Mayer should have had a monster game this past week against the 49ers. Michael Mayer has been very consistent with his production, going to be a guy that we probably mentioned every week until he just starts to be rostered in more leagues. And just to check on Hunter Henry, he's got the Lions this week. 69% roster, yeah. Yeah, 69%, just barely above the threshold, but I'm assuming that would be the number one guy. He would be, yes. So we'll mention him when we talk about the shallow leagues. Shallow leaguers. Okay, any DSDs to add? I still believe in the Giants this week. You know, Arvel Reese was amazing. This defensive line is going to get after Jayden Daniels, so I think that's one that you can hold on to and potentially use through the bye week. The Saints get the Panthers. Their offensive line has been an absolute disaster, and I think they'll be better against the Saints personally, but that's one you want to look at. Take a look at the Bills. If they play well this week against the Vikings, they get Geno Smith and the Jets. That offense has given up production to opposing fantasy DSDs. The Chiefs are still under-rostered a little bit. They get the Falcons. I know the Falcons are better with Michael Penix, but I still want to look at it. And my favorite surprise DSD, we don't know exactly what it's going to look like when we get to Sunday, but the Colts offense could be absolutely decimated in terms of skill players if they get rid of Jonathan Taylor, Josh Downs, maybe Keenan. Maybe even Daniel Jones. And the Dolphins defense just did a great job against the Lions. So that's the sneaky DST play of the week. By the way, how about the Falcons? They're a half game out of first place, and they traded Jesse Bates. I think getting a second-round pick for safety today's NFL is pretty good. So I think they did great in terms of their compensation. They probably still feel like with or without Jesse Bates, they can win this division because it's so bad. And so my guess is, hey, you're not going to win a Super Bowl this year. Even if you make a playoff run, why not maximize your value for 2020? All right, Jamie, thank you very much. We'll talk to you tomorrow with the full-length Waver Wire report. I'm Adam Azer. Have a good day, everybody.
