Week 3 Waiver Wire: MUST ADD Players, Injury Replacements & Streamers (09/22 Fantasy Football Podcast)

This is Fantasy Football today from CBS Sports It's time to dominate your fantasy Lee Now you're some combination of Adam Dave Jamie and he We are into fantasy week three. Let's go. Hope we have some two and a you guys have any undefeated teams still several oh wow Amazing really that no All right, yeah, we're into week three. We've got I think the real question is how many winless teams do we have? Oh and I I got a couple one only I'm tanking both of my dinosaur leaves one I'm trying to take the other one I'm not I'm winless in both Yeah, and I've got one other redraft league where I've started oh and two that's it that's pretty good I think I have said out of 14 not bad maybe three winless Redraft teams. Yeah, it's no good. We got to get a win this week We got some quarterbacks coming back Michael Panic's junior Tyler Murray are coming back But we of course have more quarterbacks who are injured like Jackson Dart last night However with Jackson Dart with Caleb Williams. We don't have season ending injuries. We still don't know with Jade and Daniels We had a lot of running back injuries last week, which usually means a good waiver wire week However, these running back injuries might be very short term So it's a little bit of a tricky week when it comes to waiver wire priority Jamie What does it look like who are the top three players to get for week three? The top three for me are Jonah Coleman Bryce Young and Dalton Schultz. I think you're looking at There's an opportunity here. You said it. We may get JK Dobbins back in RJ Harvey back But what if we don't and Coleman looked good and his performance against Jackson was a really good run defense. I was glad that he was involved in the passing game If one of the two are out I still think that you can use Coleman as a flex kind of both are out then I think he's A must start running back even against the Rams Bryce Young has been awesome through the first two games this season But it's now seven of his last 10 games going back to last year over 20 fantasy points Again kind of coincides with Jalen Coker's emergence And then Dalton Schultz just coming off this amazing performance But it's now 22 targets in two games One of them without Nico Collins. We don't know if Collins is going to return and he did very well in two games against the Colts last year So uh those three Assuming that the Broncos backfield is depleted would all be must starts for me if again Coleman is the starter for Denver Jonah Coleman Bryce Young Dalton Schultz And you know if you if you add Coleman and then both Harvey and Dobbins play this week Are you gonna stick with him? You know just say this is a guy I want to have Because look, Dobbins is always hurt and maybe I just stays the third down back. I would I would say If you add him and those guys return Go look at JK Dobbins player page go to where it says career Go look at how many games he has missed and then know that he's already dealing with the hamstring injury So I love JK Dobbins. I'd love to see him stay healthy He said in the preseason when he had the minor injury I forget what it was Um that he wasn't gonna let I think it was ankle Um, he came back right away to practice sounds like he's gonna return this week in some capacity But it's just unfortunately what his history has been and Jonah Coleman Maybe the future of this Broncos backfield and they're coming off a win where he had a big partner So wouldn't be surprised if he now is working his way into a bigger part of the rotation If everybody's healthy and you know may end up Playing more than one of the two. I think if it was gonna be any of them it would be Harvey Okay, Dave. So Jamie's top three priorities this week are Jonah Coleman Bryce Young and Dalton Schultz One thing about Bryce Young Maybe you'll start him against Cleveland this week I don't think it's clear what kind of matchup that is Trevor Lawrence lit them up And then Baker may feel struggled but Baker's not really playing that well But then he's got to troit the following week which looks like one of the best matchups for quarterbacks Then he doesn't buy then he's at Philadelphia So I guess what I'm saying is with Bryce Young maybe in the next four weeks There's only one matchup that you really want to start him in However, I'm not really approaching it that way. He's playing so well I want to see where this goes You don't have to start him immediately But I feel like it's a kind of guy that you want on your team because he's so I legitimately be breaking out Normally, I wouldn't put a quarterback in the top three Unless it was overwhelmingly obvious you can make an argument that it is for Bryce Young We just lost three starters like we're down Caleb Williams Jane Daniels and Jackson Dart like there's three managers and every league looking for quarterback right now And so if he's not a priority for every league where he's still available, which you know, it's not that many leagues I don't know what you're doing. All right, Dave. Who are your top three priorities this week? First of all, I think it's a get which in need week in a vacuum Coleman is to middle my number one I would put short second and I would put Denzel Boston third and it's not to slight Bryce Young This is not me saying that Bryce Young's gonna be bad if you lost Caleb Williams or Jackson Dart You better go get Bryce Young, but this is gonna be you know three teams In every league that need a quarterback if they don't already have a backup quarterback And there's probably going to be another quarterback on the waiver wire that could be Not as good as Bryce Young, I think they're staying hollow with Bryce Young But I don't I don't think you have to make him a priority unless you have to unless your quarterback situation is dire Then of course you're going to put Bryce Young at the top of the list if your tight end situation is dire You're going to put Dalton Schultz at the top less if your receiver situation is dire You will put Denzel Boston as one of the top wide receivers on on your list But if you don't have a dire situation then I think what Jamie said about Jonah Coleman is good And he's somebody who you you want to roll the dice on you're gonna make the commitment for a couple of weeks I know when I drafted him You remember how crazy I was over Jonah of course My month ago when I drafted him I wanted to commit to him for a month just see what would happen There was a lot of really good stuff that he did in week two There was some bad stuff he didn't week two as well And you think about Sean Peyton and what his track record is with running backs He doesn't put it all on one guy's plate And so I worry about Jonah Coleman being a mega breakout And I don't think it's going to happen as long as Dobbins is healthy And eventually RJ Harvey will come back So no matter what the situation unless it's legitimately what we saw in week two Where it's Dobbins is out Harvey is out That's when we'll see Coleman getting a ton of work But short of that you're going to see Coleman split That being said if we're just you know taking a roster spot And we're we're going to see what we get with somebody We're going to do a little investing Then Coleman's the guy So what is your thought? Let's say Dobbins is out And I think Dobbins is going to play this week But you're picking up Coleman right now Because we know the history of JK Dobbins So in your opinion If Dobbins at some point suffers a longer term injury What is the split looking like between Coleman and RJ Harvey Coleman running down Harvey passing down Coleman at the goal line Okay, Jamie you agree with that? Mostly I think they'll mix and match a little bit Not as like the Rams or Bears type situation But I still think Harvey will get enough Work on first and second down to be somewhat relevant And Coleman will catch passes probably on first and second down as well So I don't think they go completely away from Harvey In terms of the using him as a rushing down guy Because they've done it already the season with Coleman with Dobbins Let me double check Let me double check one thing on Harvey Give me 30 seconds. Yeah, that's fine. It is the culprit is inside the five Okay, I just want to say because I can foresee it We're sitting here leading with Jonah Coleman And people are going to pick him up and they're going to go I can't believe you told me it really is a long term thing But there's also like no guarantee that Dobbins and Harvey are going to play this week And you know you'd have a starting running back But it's kind of also just because we know this This is why we like him in the preseason Now he's got this opportunity here potentially Alright, so there's that Dalton Sholtz Jamie Does it bother you at all that Dalton Sholtz has done a lot of his work this year I don't necessarily want to call it garbage time But trailing in the fourth quarter For example this past week He had eight catches for 72 yards on nine targets And a 45% target share in the fourth quarter alone against Cincinnati And so much of it was Cincinnati had a 20 to 6 lead the entire time in the fourth quarter And they just let him catch these short balls And CJ Stroud so far like we don't expect the Texans to be 0 and 2 And trailing all the time CJ Stroud so far has 58 pass attempts in the first three quarters of two games 58 pass attempts in six quarters And in the fourth quarter of the two games he has 35 pass attempts So with Sholtz are you Do we think maybe it's over inflated because of these game scripts that are sort of unexpected for Houston I mean I'm not expecting him to average 11 targets for games So no, I'm not expecting him to you know do what he's been doing And so however you want to Categorize or separate it you know from you know when he's getting it done The thing that I think you know you're just looking at the week three game You know the colds are going to come out and score on the first drive because that's what they've done You know so they'll probably be trailing again if they don't get the ball But this Texas defense has clearly not played to the same level You know facing Josh Allen and Joe Burrow back to back weeks is much different than facing Daniel Jones So we'll see what they do In week three I just think you look at Dalton Sholtz right now If Niko Collins plays you dial back expectations if Niko Collins is out Yeah, you're still looking at somebody who we said when Jayden Higgins was injured This is going to be the guy who's second on the team of targets. We love that scenario. So There's a lot of passing going on right now in Houston that we didn't expect There's a bad defense in Houston right now We're struggling the offense Houston that we didn't expect again I think that has to do with who they played so we'll see but I still think you're just looking at Shulton when you get to like you know Dave said You got Colston loved one struggling. You have a you know Maybe scenario of Kyle pits bouncing back, but still we don't know what it's gonna look like with Michael Penex We have maybe Brock Bauer's coming back. We have maybe this maybe that you know Tucker craft whatever You know some of these tight ends were struggling it feels pretty good to look at Dalton Shulton You know getting those opportunities and coming off this monster game and now facing a Colts team that just got beat up by Travis Kelsey So I think there's an opportunity here for Shultz to be a top 10 to it Okay, last question here before we're gonna move on here But Jonah Coleman Bryce Young Dalton Shultz Denzel Boston They're all rostered in about 50 to 60% of league So for the people who have been listening to 10 minutes for 10 minutes and going well I can't get any of these guys who are some names of of players that are much more available And yes, we will do this later. Yeah, we'll do this later But just a few names here that we should prioritize for the people who are going I can't get any of these guys Dave I mean, there's two obvious running backs and tank Bixby and manual Wilson just with the injuries that Well, you know you're looking at there with potentially sake one Barclay being out and potentially Darian Price being out now Similar to the Broncos. It sounds like those two guys are going to Potential or the starting running backs there are gonna potentially play I think when you go to quarterback, you know if you want to go very deep You're looking at Michael Penex, you know playing for the first time in the season and hopefully he takes advantage of the Weapons that are available to him You have now Marcus Mario and James Winston. We know that they've had very good You know his they have both have a good history of helping fantasy managers when put in this situation So hopefully those guys take advantage of a Geno Smith and CJ Stroud both have great matchups this week If you just want to go in a week to week basis and straddle coming up Excuse me, Geno schedule coming up is very favorable as well So you know, there's quarterbacks that can help you in the in the dire situation that a lot of fantasy managers are in with with those three guys being out Receiver, there's you know plenty of guys, you know Dante being wicks at and I Mitchell both coming off strong starts the season you know both Or at least in week two in the case for for at night Mitchell So there are receivers that can help people talk about a lot of others as well and then at tight end, you know, you have Similar to Geno Smith like Kenya Cediks matchup is as good as it gets around a gatson's got a great situation now Pat Friarmouth has an Unbelievable history against since daddy bangles Ten games. He's played them in his career. He's averaging 14.6 ppr points against them and of those eight games. He's scored at least 11 ppr points or more so he just beats up on the bangles Helps with their problems that we've seen over the last several years and then struggling so there's there's lots of different ways you can go with with this The and you know, I agree with Dave Denzel boss has the number one receiver yet the reason I didn't put a receiver There's just because there's so many options that kind of you know sliding scale, you know from Boston But like Boston and Tucker to me are almost identical in terms of what they're capable of doing and and have done so far at least Coming off week two, so like I think it's almost in your best interest like you could play defense as well You know by picking up shults or a quarterback to block one of your opponents from getting what could be a starting option for the rest of the season Okay, well that was basically the the segment There's a few other names definitely to throw out a little bit later. We need to talk about that later. Hey real quick real quick This is a strike against Jonah Coleman after all so 56% success right inside the five last year for RJ Harvey Five of his seven rushing touchdowns came from inside the five I wonder if he's the default goal line guy in a world where Dobbins is out Harvey is active Coleman is active and that obviously takes some of the upside away from Jonah Coleman Okay, just to let you know Tuesdays and Thursdays were on CBS Sports Network Not every Tuesday and Thursday, but we will always record a show and whether it's on CBS Sports Network or not like today It's not on CBS Sports Network.

I don't even know Probably more. It's crazy and um, it's a lot of fun So join us youtube.com/fantasy football today every Sunday morning before we go to break. How much fab are we spending today Dave? It really depends on how badly you need the quarterback the tight end the receiver the the running back But I I don't think I'd be in for any more than like 10% on any of these guys Maybe you could talk me into 15% on Coleman if you just want to take the chance on the upside But I don't think that this is just like last week to me where I don't think this is a break the bank week for anybody I'm pretty tempted with Bryce Young. I mean, it just not break the wall. What are your what's your quarterback situation? Yeah Even if I have a good quarterback situation like I would spend Yeah, I think 10% on Bryce Young if I had a quarterback situation if I didn't I think you know 20 to 30 Might might work for me. Is that crazy? Okay, it I mean it clearly depends on You might have to do a little work here to see who else in your league desperately needs a quarterback this week There's three managers in every league that needs a quarterback. So assuming they don't have a backup already. Yes Right, and it's yeah, it's a rough week. So all right Yeah, okay, Jamie in the column.

Should we do a quick fantasy caps? Of course. Yes. Yes. All right. We got a long time listener First time e-mailer. This is from Chris Going in week two on Monday night. I was up by five points My opponent had pukinakua as you know. He was scratched There was another league member who had Malik neighbors and no matter what he already lost week two Both teams decided to trade one another and said in the fantasy group chat There was a part two coming to this trade after week two was over Remind you these two members are family and even though I got extremely lucky with Malik neighbors scoring 1.1 fantasy points I wound up getting the win. Is this collusion? Should this be illegal with an entire when an entire trade cannot be finalized on the day of the transaction This is definitely collusion Well, I mean it's collusion if they have the second part right there's no collusion which they admitted to Well, they haven't done it yet though Yeah, it's not collusion if they hold on to the players for a considerable amount of time right if they if they make a trade back this week then it's collusion I don't know that the second part is necessarily trading the players back but I don't know like what if they like trade stand for the rest of the season. It's clearly not collusion. They've made a trade. That's normal fantasy football stuff So they literally win to the fantasy group channels like yeah guys. We're just going to trade back after a week. No No, no, no, no, clarify. They did not say they were going to trade they did not say they were going to trade back They said there was a second part that could mean two running backs being added to the deal right right so that's why it's a great area here Yeah, I think until we know what part two is we can't really adjudicate I think you really have to put a rule and I obviously don't do this as I never see this happen in my leagues But if this kind of stuff happens there needs to be a rule in your league where if you trade a player to a team You can't trade those players back for like three weeks or something like that It's a guy there's got to be a period of time where those players are kept on the team. I don't know if that really helped That's a tough one. So what do we think in general is like let this one stand? I think we need we need to know what part two is and hope we get that answer before Friday So email whoever wrote you back and say we have the official fantasy cops on Friday and we could answer that question when we we get to All right quick shout out to our boy June another longtime listener He was eliminated from his guillotine league when Matthew Stafford took three kneel downs at the end of the game That's amazing News we had we had an arcade team league and I don't know if Sam's on the stream or not But it was Sam and my own come came down to Kyron Williams. I think it was Kyron Williams Sam definitely had cam scataboo and I think Sam ended up losing yeah loss by a one point. Yeah, just brutal I'm on a text saying with my own and he's sweating in how it was just it was both you guys just had rough weeks and Sorry Sam. Yeah, I lost Nico counts to obviously going into it. So that that that 75.9 to 74.3 Oh, that's a little tough way to go. All right Jackson dart knee injury sprained MCL that you know Could be maybe one of those four to six weeks or weakers. We'll see Jaden Daniels weak, uh, we still don't have a timeline here with his elbow injury Dan Quinn did say expect and return to return this season, but now they're exploring more things here Caleb Williams weak to weak with a hamstring injury has not been ruled out for Monday night football against the Eagles I really hope he plays Look forward to that game Sand Sam Arnold expected a practice on Wednesday. He could play at Washington. He's another guy You can get on the waiver wire if you place that Washington Kyler Murray is going to start this week at Tampa Bay. So I guess you guys would just rather have Bryce Young than Kyler Murray rest of season at this point I have Kyler second on the list, but yeah, I think at this point looking at what Bryce Young has done. I was leaning toward Bryce Michael Pentax Jr. is going to start on Thursday at Green Bay at running back Jonathan Brooks is going to miss some time He re aggravated his groin injury if you draft a tube of Hubbard Congratulations JK Dobbins has a hamstring injury So does RJ Harvey Dobbins. It seems like they're expecting him to be ready for week three against the Rams Rico Dowdell not sure about this one. He left with a toe injury gets the Bengals this week Jalen Warren tremendous usage after Dowdell left the game And Sequan Barkley has a stinger kind of weird. We haven't really heard anything on this one here We'll keep an eye on Sequan Barkley and what it means for Tank Bigsby and all that Question if tanks if if Sequan Barkley were out and and JK Dobbins were out Who would you rather have this week tank Bigsby against the Bears or Jonah Coleman against the Rams Coleman Do we know if RJ Harvey is out too? No, but Tyler Badeh took that Harvey roll. Let's say he's out. Let's say he's out Then it's Coleman over Bigsby because we know Bigsby's gonna Wrap excuse me with Will Shipley. Yeah, please the down sky Bigsby the running down sky All right, wide receiver news Nico Collins may miss another game. Zay flowers could play this week At Dallas. That'd be awesome. Oh, that game's in Brazil, right Um, is that right? Yes. Yeah, but uh, oh, is that mean we have an early game on Sunday? No, 430 Okay, because when we have early games our our Sunday show it starts at 930 Anyway, 830. Yeah. Okay. Well, we'll say about that. I think next week Michael Pittman status is unclear Mike Evans looks like he's gonna play but they're gonna monitor him He's almost certainly gonna mispractice on well. I wouldn't say that Mike Evans is gonna be on the injury report Jayden Reed we don't know Caleb Douglas left with an ankle injury the cult signed out a Darius latent Alec Pierce is going to miss several weeks if not more I mean, he could miss the season at this point right now He's gonna try to avoid surgery Alec Pierce, but he's gonna miss some time Um, Jalen McMillan this I thought was so interesting that Ted hers just completely played over Jalen McMillan Jalen McMillan barely played well. They said McMillan is not fully healthy yet, but he's getting closer So we'll see what that split looks like because I think hers than 8% of leagues is a good pick for pickup for deep leagues But not if McMillan's gonna get more play And Malik neighbors has this shoulder issue is shoulder popped out they popped it back in We'll see if he's able to play as sumi would he returned and had one horrible cat one catch for one yard Against the Rams it gets the Titans this week Dallas Goddard sprained MCL. He's gonna miss time. Hopefully goes on IR for your roster spot And Zach Earths was signed. He is 35 years old, but he did average about 10 points per game in each of his last two seasons with Washington That's not bad Brock Bowers will practice this week. Hopefully back and David Najoku and Charlie Kohler are both on IR So we do have some deep league tight ends that are interesting And then we've got a lot of offensive line stuff here giants really horrible night in terms of injuries Including left tackle Andrew Thomas Patriots right tackle Mike Owen Wenwu long-term injury. Is he officially out for the year? Nightings up. All right Not officially Top three at each position Jamie who are the top three quarterbacks to get Yeah, you mentioned two quarterbacks already. Bryce Young would be one and then Kyler Murray would be two And I go back and forth between James Winston and Marcus Mario does the third one You know if you need somebody for a one-week situation or maybe a little longer He can go with CJ Stratter. Do you know Smith just based on their schedules? But we've seen what James and Mario to have done when given opportunities to start as recently as the last two seasons And so I think there's lots of upside there, especially if Malik neighbors is healthy for The giants. So depending on what you're looking at what you need You know if you feel more comfortable with Stratter with Geno Smith I'm certainly fine putting those guys ahead of James and Mario to put the top two for me or locked in and Bryce Young and Kyler Murray I agree with the top two no love for Jacobi Berset He's up there, you know, I mean it's been a little frustrating so far to start the season Then he threw the ball 37 times. I got you 18 fantasy points in week one Very disappointing game against Seattle in week two We know the schedule's not getting very easy as it moves along. This is easier in week three than it was last week But I think just there's just as much upside with James and Mario to as we've seen similar to percent as he came as he came in last year You know if you start to look at some of the sample sizes for those guys And then when you look at the schedules for Stratter and for Geno I think you can make arguments that those guys are in just as good a situation. So As we know as we we've already talked about there's lots of managers that need quarterbacks right now So if Jacobi is in the top three for you or maybe even number one just based on what he did last year Sure, go ahead All right, Dave who are your top three running backs? Coleman's number one Bigs B's number two if we're working on the assumption that Sequan Barclay is not going to play this week And maybe you even stash bigs B because Sequan hasn't looked like Sequan so far this season And then Emmett Johnson's number three and if that's more of a stash play you're You're seeing the guy who's the back up to Kenneth Walker the third getting looking good on limited reps They're talking about giving them more reps which makes sense. They've given so much work to Kenneth Walker Through the first two weeks that they've got to take some work off of them I know that sounds terrible to people that have Walker But he's still going to get over 20 touches a game Johnson would be third for me. So give me Coleman one bigs B2 Johnson three If you don't want to worry about the Eagle situation because it it could be very short lived Then Emmett Johnson would jump to number two Gosh, I hate when we don't know a running back status when we're making our waiver claims I just hate it It's an argument for pushing your waiver waiver night to Wednesday night instead of Tuesday night But it's really frustrating here. We won't know with the Eagles if you're going on that That's true Well, we might get we might we won't get a practice report But we might get a report about Sequan Barclay And just just keep an eye on and I agree with Dave on the first two I'd actually just And Emmett Johnson is awesome. So if you're just taking a long-term approach. Yes, let's rest a season deal He might be number two Easily if you just want to avoid it But Emmanuel Wilson if there's no Didaring Price clearly the sea ox told you who their backup guy is right now So You know Wilson coming off 21 carries is Got an opportunity to take on a Washington defense that might be horrible. So I think Wilson Is in the discussion for for the top three Just one thing about the Eagles situation is it's probably not going to be all big because we saw we'll ship we play a lot He's another one like if you if you are in a deeper league and you can't get bigs Because bigs we was drafted and a lot of deep leagues already like Take a flyer on ship Lee and maybe he has another seven for 24 and a couple catches and especially if it's a full-game situation For for the Eagles taking on a bad bear's defense All right And I forgot to mention the generic and price news He has a chest injury, but it doesn't seem like it's a big there's a shoulder. I forget what it was He left the game with what was classified as a chest injury and then Mike McDonald said it's more of a shoulder So we'll see, but it's this is where it's tricky like you said we have all three of the main injuries Sound like they're not serious But you also are talking about we don't know how price will play through pain and what the sea ox will do We don't know what Barclays situation is right now We do know that Dobbins has a terrible injury history, but it sounds positive So you just have to be a little bit cautious with your fab You may end up spending too much on somebody that doesn't help you immediately Okay, wide receivers Jamie who are your top three wide receivers So Denzel Boston I agree with Dave But I really struggled with between him and Trey Tucker just because I think there's opportunities for to be successful when you saw what we were hoping for for Trey Tucker in week two when he had five catches for 119 yards in a touchdown on seven targets. So there's plenty of upside there. Boston is the much higher ceiling if things hit for him. It's just you don't want to chase the fluky touchdowns and that's the thing that's a little concerning. But Sean Watson is playing much better than anybody expected. Boston is showing that he's a playmaker and I hope this continues. I just don't know if like that when you see the touchdowns the garbage time one we won against Jacksonville and then he's bouncing off defenders against Tampa Baylor. You just don't want to overestimate what he can do rest of season. But there's just so much to love about what he and conception can eventually become. I put Richard Bateman third. We do expect Jay flowers to come back. But you you've heard me say this now for basically two weeks since Jacobi Lane's injury is that there's two guys missing. So whether flowers returns or not Lane is not coming back anytime soon. And Bateman the very small sample size. But it's now eight games going back to 2024. With at least five targets. He did it again in week three where he gets you 15.8 PPR points or more and now six of those eight games. So there's just an opportunity here for Bateman. If flowers is out must start wide receiver against the Cowboys. If flowers is in I think he's still a starter in three receiver league. So you can go and I'm actually you can go down Tavy and Wicks. There's just a lot of different players this position that you can sort of say all sort of fall in line as number three receivers. I just think when you look at Boston and Tucker situation it shouldn't change anything. Bateman situation could change. Mitchell situation could change when Omar Cooper's back. Obviously done Tavy and Wicks now has a plus because Goddard's out. We don't know what they'll do as accords. But maybe McIleman starts to get a little bit more run. So there's lots of different guys. I mean we'll talk about it when we get to position. But I think for me it's it's the top two locked in and then Rashad Bateman right now. It's there. I agree with the top two locked in. When Brock Bowers is back I wonder what that means for Trey Tucker and whether or not we can count on him something more than like a like a low end boomer bus flex. I think they're staying power with Denzel Boston. He had a 94% route rate in week two. It's like 97% week one. So we know right away he's a full-time player for the Browns seven targets in week two. That's huge. He should have had two touchdowns against Tampa. He had one ball go right through his hands. I kind of wish that that wasn't the case. But I do think that he's I think he's going to be a good contributor as long as the Sean Watson is the quarterback. And I don't worry about the play and the almost touch down where the ball went. I think it was right through his hands. It was really close. It could have been knocked away. I don't remember off the top of my head. But the bottom line is I think that there's staying power. I think that there's room for him to get you like five for 60 every week. And that's a number three receiver. If you had to pick right now for both of you if you had to pick right now, who would you say is the best rookie wide receiver rest of season? Forget about what they did in the first two weeks. How can I forget about what they did over. No, no, you don't get that production. Oh, yeah, no, I cannot say Cornell Tate. No, I think it's either Boston or Tyson. Because if Tyson comes back, the way that this New Orleans offense has been operating. In fact, if that dude's out there and you've got IR spots, stash city. You just wonder, though, a valet's done enough to make that a problem. I'm going to say Malachi Fields. I'm going to say Denzel Boston. Yeah, I've been impressed too. You could it could always go super south with the Sean Watson, obviously, but yeah, I did that. I'm glad you brought up that almost touched down because the touchdown he had was completely fluky that is ridiculous. But he actually, he actually hold on, he had the ball and it looks like it got knocked away. Okay. I don't think it was a drop. Yeah, it's fine. He wasn't credit. He plays all the time. Yeah, but it's it's tough. It's a good question, Jamie. Dave, who are top three tight ends? Schultz is number one. That's easy. Just too much target volume. Check down guy. He's almost running one of two routes every single play. And whenever they're up against his own coverage, he's going to get a lot. I put Gadsden second because without a joker there, without caller there, it seems like he's going to have the opportunity to play a lot for the chargers. And I don't know. I think that Justin Herbert could use a short area target. I put fire move third. And it's not with a lot of confidence. I just like the matchup this weekend. If you're getting him, you're streaming him. So Schultz won huge staying power, especially in PPR, Gadsden, fire move two and three. Yeah, the only thing I'll I'll change to that is my God, parents Ferguson finally got involved last night. And he looked awesome. And Pugna Cua may not play in week two. But this was expected to be the third option in this passing game. And staff would finally look like staff again. And the Rams back in America looked like the Rams again. So give me Terrence Ferguson. He might be, you know, if you want to talk about deep league options, like, hello, 80% of leaks. Yeah, I mean, just an absolute stud as we talked about in the off season, if you ever got the opportunity. And if they were going to move on, remember, there was the talk of them moving on from De Monta Adams at one point. Like this was the guy we were very excited about. And you finally got to see it last night. So you put him ahead of Gadsden and fire move. Without question. Okay. Unless you tell me right now, Pugna's coming back, but we just don't know. Yeah, I mean, Pugna was warming up, right? He was questionable the whole way. Yeah, but I don't, I don't think that you're not going to get this from Ferguson. But I think there's opportunities still for Ferguson to get plenty of chance. And remember, Colby Ferguson was a streaming tight end by the end of the season. This kid is much more athletic and productive than or has a chance to be more productive than Colby Parkinson. He was. And I think what I would say is this, right? Like Terrence Ferguson probably has more long term potential. Pat Fryer, Muth has a 13.5% target share in each of his first two games. They're just, they've thrown 79 passes in two games. That's not great. But, you know, this is what I, okay, long-winded way of saying, if you maybe want to pick up Ferguson, you can't get shoals. Get Ferguson. If you think that there will still be options on the waiver wire, like Pat Fryer, Muth, like O'Roday Gadsden, maybe guys, maybe people just won't pick them up. There might be other options like I, and TJ Hawkeson is playing the book in here as they look like they're absolutely horrible against tight ends. Darren Waller, I'm telling you, Hunter Henry. I mean, I'm surprised Hunter Henry's not on this list, by the way. He's on the list. It's like a lot of time. It's Kenya Sidiq. If you want to trust. Yeah. But I mean, Sidiq, look what the Lions have done. They may look like a star. They made Johan Johnson. They look like Johan Johnson. And then Don Kinkay just absolutely obliterated them. I know. Let me tell you about like he's he's too much of a reach for me. I think I could say he's not much of a reach, but if you're just playing matchups, like it's Fryer, Muth and it's it's Sidiq. Right. So the case for Ferguson is simply this. If there is no Pukinakua, we saw it last night, 72% route rate, nine targets. That's awesome. Yes, buy into that. Week one, Pukas on the field, he had a 45% route rate. He had one target. I thought we'd won. Yeah, maybe you do because the route rate though, that's the difference. Right. They didn't use them a lot. And maybe that was just because they were trailing in the game. I'm not exactly sure what goes into it. We could research that if you wanted to. But the bottom line is that as long as Pukas out, yeah, I'm with you on Ferguson. And that makes them a priority until we know if Pukas back and if Pukas back, then maybe you pivot off in Ferguson. Okay. So to recap, Bryce Young, Kyler Murray, and then James Winston or Marcus Mario, those were the top three quarterbacks for Jamie. At running back, Dave went, Johan to Coleman, Tank Bigsby, Emmett Johnson, a wide receiver. Jamie said Denzel Boston tray Tucker, Rashad Bateman. Yep. At tight end, Dave said Dalton Sholtz, Arande Gaston, Pat Farramuth, but you just heard a spirited case for Terrence Ferguson. Ferguson makes sense ahead of Gaston, Farramuth. Okay. So Sholtz, Ferguson, Gaston, Farramuth. And now it's time for coverage, you can count on sponsored by Nationwide. And just like your fantasy roster is more than just your offensive starters. Nationwide is a great insurance company and one of America's largest financial services companies as well. So don't forget about the defensive side of the ball. And remember, Nationwide is on your side. And Jamie, the DST that we want on our side this week is. It's really more the offense that you want on your side. And the offense that you want on your side is the Dalton's offense. And so any team that's playing the Dalton's offense, here you want to play that defense against them. So this week it's the Chiefs. They're available in about 43% of leagues. They didn't look great against the Colts. They look much better clearly in week one. I think we'll see this Chiefs defense and Steve Spagnolo. Blitz, the Snot, Adam Malik-Willis. And Malik-Willis through two weeks has really struggled when he's been blitzed. Makes sense to just trust any defense that's playing against the Dalton's because now they're down, Caleb Douglas, potentially. So this passing game could look even worse. Willis has exactly been turn of opponents. That's a good thing. But I think he's going to get hit quite a bit. And there's obviously obviously the opportunity for him to have some turnovers on a weekly basis. So the Chiefs are a top three DST for week number three. They also get the Raiders the following week, which may or may not be a good matchup, but it's probably not a bad matchup. And that was coverage you can count on sponsored by Nationwide. Nationwide is so much more than a great insurance company. They're one of America's largest financial companies too. Take your game to the next level with Nationwide for your insurance and financial needs. Nationwide is on your side. Nationwide Investment Services Corporation, Member Finra, Columbus, Ohio. By the way, Jamie also likes the Packers against the Falcons, even with Michael Penix, the Bengals at Pittsburgh. The defense is playing pretty well. And the Giants hopefully get Brian Burns back. Giants against the Titans this week. David, do you have another DST or any thoughts on the DSTs? I like the Giants and Bengals for sure. What about the bills against the Chargers? Just the way that the Chargers look so walkie? Do you even consider Buffalo to get a couple of sacks and turnovers in the game? Yeah, it's not bad. It's not a great week for DSTs. The Packers really is just like what version of Penix are we going to see? Hopefully it's a good one. I always get a little curious how some of these teams, especially starting the season. So the pack backers, back-to-back road games, Dolphins even back-to-back road games, they're finally coming home. So does that sort of give them a little bit of juice, just being back in their building, especially being on the road, Dolphins stayed out west for both of their games to start the season after playing the Raiders in the 49ers. So not that means you're getting away from the Chiefs by any stretch. But going back home is always a little bit of a good option. Somebody mentioned the Panthers. Yeah, you can go with the Panthers as well, coming off a strong defense of the performance. I'm taking it on the Browns, but the Browns, I think, I think, give him his credit. They've looked much better than I think anybody expected. They've started slow in their first two games, and then especially last week, they started to put it all together, at least through the air. By the way, great news for the Chargers. They lost their left guard for a while. So awesome stuff there. What's that? Which one? Which one? Not Pipkins? Oh. Oh, Kiyote. Kiyote, Owasika. Yeah. I'm sorry. Okay. Absolutely no idea how to pronounce it. That is not good news. Okay, we'll be right back with deep leagues, shallow leagues. I guess we'll recap last night's game, Devote Adams. Wow. We'll be right back on Fantasy Football today. Jamie, as we take a look at the shallow leagues, there's some really good names. A couple guys in particular that it's like, well, I guess you could throw a shuck in there as well. Guys who are rostered in about 75% of CBS leagues that I think would be just like, oh, man, pick them up immediately. I'm not going to say them yet. Who do you think are the shallow league guys that would make Jonah Coleman look like garbage on the way to wire? Number one, and it's not close, is Josh Downs. You mentioned Alec Pierce and his injury and Downs, seven for 72, nine targets. They add Darius Slay, and I don't think that impacts Downs. You also have a looming suspension for Keenan Allen that could happen at some point this season. Downs looks like the number one receiver and at least number two in terms of targets. Maybe number one, moving forward. So Downs would be first. Shuck would definitely be on the list. Joanne Johnson would absolutely be on that list based on what he's accomplished. I got one more. I'm trying to think if there's a running back. Yeah. Rashad White. Yes, Rashad White. Yeah. You know, I jumped the gun and saying that he did not look great in week one and looked much better. And the guy that I think we were all hoping to see in week two, mostly from a reception standpoint, you know, clearly being one of the go-to guys in the passing game. So hopefully that continues, you know, Jakory Croskey merits going to have games. I think when they're playing with the lead or have an opportunity to who knows how that will, you know, go moving forward without Jay and Daniels in there. So Rashad White's a great call. Yeah. Shuck is available in half of Yahoo leagues. Yeah. Rashad White is too. Yeah. 56% rostered. Where's Shuck here? Shuck is already rostered too high on sleeper. But if he's out there, then do you like him or do you like Bryce Young? I kind of like Shuck. Yeah. I think there's probably a little bit more upside with Shuck just, you know, I don't know if that's fair to say that to Bryce Young, just what he's done in the first two games. But I think like you said before, Dave, once they get Jordan Tyson back, then this could be one of the best receiving cores in the league if they like continues to do this. I did skip kickers. I apologize. Kickers that Jamie has on the waiver wire trace Mac against Atlanta, Spencer Schrader against Houston, Ryan Fitzgerald at Cleveland, and Will Lutz against the Rams. Those are some kickers to look at. If you could tell me in 15 seconds, what goes into your kicker waiver wire picks? Recent performance, environment, and projected score. Good, good to know, and later in the year, we'll obviously factor weather in with kickers as well. Well, Dave, you waste a lot of my time today. What are we doing here, talking about Jonah Coleman and Rashad White? You know what? I've got nothing out of this show because none of these guys are available in my league. Who are some of the deeply guys that we need to know, even if you want to repeat some that Jamie mentioned earlier? Sure, so these are going to be players that are available in less than 40% of CBS sports leagues. Jacobi Berset is the top quarterback for me. You can certainly look at Marcus Mariota as well. I don't love the match up from Mario to this week, but we know that he's going to be the starter for the commanders for the next several weeks, maybe even months based on what happened to Jayden Daniels. Geno Smith would probably be next best and he's available in about 80% of CBS sports leagues, so that's pretty good. Something backs, do I say his name, Adam? Do I say it? After we talked about him yesterday, we haven't brought his name up yet once. Who is this? Caleb Johnson. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Packers. Okay, so how about some positive things about Caleb? He played as many snaps as Lloyd. He remains, okay, well, that's, he played as many snaps. He's pretty positive. No, he had some good runs, but it's, he really only gets, the yardage when the offensive line is blocking. He's not a creator and he's not a burner and I don't know how good of a pass catcher he is and I, he's available in over 90% of leagues. If you're desperate for a running back, that might see eight touches and probably not work at the goal line and definitely will not work on passing downs. That's my ringing endorsement for, for Caleb Johnson. And I have to say his name first because all the other running backs that we've talked about today, save for Emmanuel Wilson, are rostered in 40% plus of CBS sports leagues. So yeah, of course, Wilson would be the guy available in 95% plus. If Jadarian price was out, you could always start your week by adding Emmanuel Wilson and then changing it off to Caleb Johnson or Keaton Mitchell or Devon Singletary. I'm, I'm going to throw up just going over these names. What point do you think Josh Jacobs is back? And I know we don't know the answer to that. Week seven. Week seven. Any decisions as if Jacobs will be back in week seven basically week seven at Detroit. Okay. The alternative would be week nine at New England, somewhere in there, you'll have them for the second half of the year. This is my assumption. It's not based on obviously any news. Nothing's come out. He remains on the commissioner's example. I suppose that there's a chance that he stays on it for the entire year, but just the track record employers that have had the transgressions that he's had, along with the no contest plea that he made. So, Jesse, he's trying to get his, his season back at some point. Yeah. Okay. So Dave, give me like two or three deep league wide receivers that you'd prioritize. Dave man's a great one because he's available in over 60% of CBS sports leagues. Add nine Mitchell's another one who had double digit targets in week two. And I think the Jets will be, I think the Jets are going to throw the ball a good amount this year. Maybe a little bit more than we gave him credit for they didn't have to do it so much in week one. They definitely didn't week two. Absolutely. We won week three. And there's been up about add nine Mitchell with, you know, Smith since August. So I would put him on the list. I would also put Xavier Hutchinson on the list. And then going to tight ends, we talked about him already, Terence Ferguson, Roddy Gadsson, Pat Farramuth, those would be the three. Okay. Yeah. I actually think the deep league wide receivers are pretty appealing, you know, for deep league wide receivers, but I'm thinking of my leagues, you know, three receiver PPR leagues, Xavier Hutchinson nearly had a 40 yard touchdown catch, CJ Stroud missed them. And I, you know, it seems like Nico's going to miss another game. It's just my kind of gut from reading the tea leaves. And if Hutchinson had caught that ball, you know, he's seven percent roster. He's probably up to 30 percent this week. He wouldn't be top two though. He would not be top two if he had caught that ball. Who would, who would be, well, I mean, Denzel Boston, I'm talking about the, the deeply guys just, no, no, no, he would be a good short term ad because I don't think anybody's interested in starting Hutchinson when Nico's back. But he's got the Colts. Right. And the Colts just at their past defense so far against Zay flowers at a hundred fifty yards and a half. And then you had Xavier worthy, Jalen Royals with a touchdown. You had 80 yards for Taikwan Thornton, you know, is so like it's a good enough sample size when Nico Collins has been out small. But three games over the last two years and he has six targets or more in all three of those. The weird one though was Jared Wayne, like getting seven targets and he had a bunch of that. Yep. Okay. And there's also, and then there's one more, there's one more. Khalifa Raymond is like the only consistent bear's pass catcher through two weeks of the season. And Tyson Beijing though, that's the thing. Yeah. Probably. I think Tyson Beijing is actually going to keep this offense on time and that might actually work against Khalifa Raymond. But if you want some, he's low on the list. Like every other receiver we've named should be ahead of Khalifa Raymond. Just also. One more. One more in your placement because he played well in week two would be Keon Coleman. He's 4% rostered and had six catches and, you know, he's on the field a lot. So we'll see in against the bad charter of defense. Absolutely. And then there's Kendrick Bourne who, well, whatever. I kind of like Kendrick Bourne and that's in that deeply format and Ted Hearst I think is interesting. But again, I was a little disappointed. I guess the big mill and thing still lingers. But Ted Hearst could have had a pretty big game. Khalifa, bigger may feel just did not play well. And keep an eye on another just deeply guys, Jeremy Bernard is had eight targets against the Patriots. That was a tough matchup. We don't know when pitman's coming back and Bernard may get an opportunity to maybe supplant pitman as a number to receive her there in Pittsburgh. He's some Purrell. Am I right? Thank you. Thank you. I bet. Thank you. Thank you. Rams 28. Giants six. Yeah. Jimmy J said Aaron Judge, her Jackson Dart hurt. This is how it goes. At least you had the nicks and that is how I feel because you guys don't care. But my college football team is also extremely injured right now. But the Giants last night. I mean, Dart, then neighbors, Andrew Thomas, late in the game, Andrew Thomas looked like crap the whole game, I thought. And then Brian Burns, horrible game for the giants. Hopefully they get back on track. Their schedule is so much easier. Tennessee, Arizona at Washington, New Orleans are the next four games. Gosh, wouldn't it be great if Jackson Dart were available for these games? There's so much like revenge game narratives between the giants and the Titans with coaches and players on both sides. Yeah, yeah. And what do you think about neighbors, Jamie? One catch, and he was okay against Dallas, but horrible in this game. Do you have long-term concerns for neighbors? Not really. I got a little excited when James came in because we know what James typically does for wide receivers and then immediately neighbors get hurt. So we just don't know the extent of what he's dealing with. Hopefully he'll be 100%. You go back to the comments he made prior to week one about if he's not feeling 100% is he going to play. So you wonder if the shoulder is bothering him if he's going to go out there. I love the fact that he came back into the game if he's not 100%. So that's clearly encouraging. But look, the giant's offense just looked lost last night. Skateboard couldn't really do anything. It's just frustrating that he keeps coming off the field so much. Like, what was your question? More touchdowns or catches Sunday night, first Skateboard and Cora and they both have one. I'm sorry, Cora had one and Skateboard for. Yeah. It was good to see at least. I just, look, he's going to have games like this where, you know, when he's facing a good run defense, I think the Rams are going to have a good run defense. It's not going to be ideal for him. So I think you just kind of just throw this game out because dark getting hurt so early in the game just kind of probably put them in a little bit of a shell shock mode and then the Rams just did whatever they wanted to almost offensively. So great to see the Rams play at this level again. I guess really the only frustrating thing is which version of Devote Am's we're going to get when Pukin a close back. So this is probably a sell high window for sure for him. Yes. A little Ferguson continued to be involved when Pukin's back and Cora's got to stop fumbling. I glad they continued to go to him right after the fumble, but this is now, I think you fumbled both games. Yeah. Cora, you don't want to. Yeah. They just got possession. Yeah, he got it back, you know, but Cora and again, the ball punched out twice. It's something he's got to clearly work on. So. Skateboard played 59% of the snatch, isn't really that bad. Yeah. It was annoying when Harris was in in like a goal-to-go situation. But Skateboard was really excited two minutes. So I don't know if Skateboard would have ever been in there. No, he wasn't there because he was in there on like the first play or he was in there on one of those plays and then they just took him out for Najee Harris or maybe he took out Harris for Skateboard ever. It was stupid. It was interesting that it wasn't single Terry because usually single Terry is their hurry up back. Yeah. Well, it wasn't hurry up though because it was like they got the ball after the fumble at the 10 yard line. Okay. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe you're right. I'm going to throw out some names here for Adams here because I understand the cell high, but we also saw what he can do. He's still a really good player even at his age. Those catches he made were amazing. Devante Adams or Lad McConkey rest of season. Lad. I just don't know how injured the ribs are for him like and the chargers look so lost. I might go Adams. Adams or Travis Hn. Adams. I would lean Adams. Adams or Bucky Irving. Bucky. That one's close. I'll take Bucky also. Adams or Skataboo. Adams. I was drafted. I'll take. Um. I think I'll take Skataboo. All right. Drop-o-meter time, zero to ten, Brian Thomas Jr. Five, four, seven to ten, maybe four and twelve teamlings. Yeah. I mean, he's starting to make a pretty compelling case for a worse guy on your bench. Uh, Marshall Lloyd. Four Reegie. Oh, gosh. I'm higher than that. They might have just like a three headed crap monster for three or four weeks, um, four more weeks. Yeah. He's a bigaz. Nine, seven. He's a handcuff. Yeah. He's a handcuff. Jordan Love. I think Jordan Love's gonna bounce back. I did too. Would you drop him for Bryce Young or Tyler Shuck? Yes. Uh, those I would consider, but, you know, I, I think the minute that you drop Jordan Love he's gonna pick up in every league because of the three teams that are looking for quarterbacks now. Quentin Johnston. Give him a week. Chris Godwin. Two. I told you it was a Joe Boo week. It's a 10 and non PPR and 1/2 PPR and full PPR, it's like a, an eight. He put the boo in Joe Boo. He looks okay. He doesn't look completely washed up to me. My, I think Baker made, like he was open a bunch of times, Chris Godwin. Baker Mayfield. I was thinking about the song. I'm only happy when it rains by garbage. Uh, Baker Mayfield is only happy when he is running around like a maniac throwing the ball a hundred yards downfield. Like just take. He's got to stay in the pocket. Yeah. Just take what the defense is giving you. Like stop over complicating things. Chris Godwin is open, but they're facing Minnesota this week. So even if God, even if you want to hold Godwin, it's gonna be another bad. I can't start them and feel good about it. All right. Back to the waiver wire. Tyler Shuck. Bryce Young. I don't know. Did you say who you prefer? I think you did, but I forgot. I said Shuck. Shuck, put us close. All right. Number one, if Shuck is not available, then it's Kyler Murray. And then James Winston versus Mario to, I don't know. I think I'd probably go Mario to because I feel like Daniels would be out longer, but it's close between the two. I feel like you're streaming either way. And so if you're streaming either way, you'll start the quarterback taking on Tennessee this week. I'm thinking more of two QB leagues if you're looking for more long time. Oh, these aren't one QB leagues unless you're stuck, you know, like Dave keeps saying, which is true that every manager in your league or majority of your manager leagues have two quarterbacks already. Like, these are the guys you're picking from. So you know, it's whatever, you know, whatever sample size you want to use for both of them. It's going back to 2024. It's James with the Browns and his nine games, 19.3 fantasy points or more than five of those. Mario to started eight games last season and scored 20 fantasy points or more than four of them. So it's almost like identical. How they'll do it is different. Mario to and not all four of the games were scored 20 or more. Fans went, but in four of the eight starts, he got you 40 rushing yards or more. And James, we know it was going to have a lot of spike games. You know, I think you feel a little bit better about James because he played so much last night if he had a better game. But that was really, I think, just a byproduct of the Rams being a great defense. Like you said, Adam, we get, we get the Titans this week. This should be one of those games where James goes off. It's Titans, Cardinals, commanders, Saints, I'm going to, I'm going to guarantee it. That's a tie breaker for me. I'm going to guarantee it, ready? And I'll grow another beard if I'm wrong. James Winston is going to have at least one 30 point game in the next four weeks. No, 20, 26. He will hit 26 and at least one of those games. No, I think you're right. I think 30 works. Oh, by the way, I owe you a dollar. Dan did see Scarface. We never sort of back that. Yeah, because Dan, like, I'm not going to get into why I knew he would see Scarface. I'll tell you off there, CJ Stroud and Geno Smith have good matchups this week. Assuming Nico Collins out. Who do you like better? CJ Stroud or Geno Smith this week? Geno. Stroud, I'm sorry. Nico's out. Yeah. Yeah, Geno. All right. We got Jacobi Perset. We got Michael Penix, Sam Darnold at Washington this week. If he's back to Sean Watson, he's running a little bit, 22 yards last week, 38 yards, and week one. These are his first 20 point game, by the way, since week three of 2024. Wow. And Tyson Beijing is a two cube elite guy as well, but he may have a, might have a brief run. You know, I would say what about Kirk Cousins? There's just so many guys. Like Kirk Cousins could be okay against New Orleans. He was, he's been solid so far. I'd rather start Perset. All right. Running backs. Running backs here. Mike Washington, Jr. and Woody Marks, Tyler Alger. These are shallow lead guys. Plus, Rashad White would be the best shallow lead guy. If you saw Jonah Coleman and Rashad White on your waiver wire, who you getting? What do I need? Right. Do I need to start about this week? I get Rashad White for sure. If I need somebody that's long term, it's Coleman, unless we know for sure that Domins are going to miss this week. I think I would pick Coleman because of both of those guys are on my waiver wire. That means the waiver wire is kind of plentiful for backup index. And so I'd rather just roll the dice on Coleman hoping that he's the guy this week. And if I'm wrong, then I cut him at some point and I pick up a different running back before Sunday. The Eagles are at the Bears Monday. The Seahawks are at Washington. Washington's been pretty good against the run so far to be fair. If both Sequan Barkley and Jardarian price were out, how would you rank Tank Bigs B. Will Shipley and Manuel Wilson, Jamie? I would go Tank Bigs B. Emmanuel Wilson. Will Shipley. Okay. There's also Emmett Johnson. There's Alvin Camera who had five catches. Might just get you some PPR points. Taijay Spears. So many yards though. Taijay Spears stinks, but he's on this list because he's 50% roster at any place. And Caleb Johnson, yeah, Dave talked about him. And then there's DJ Dallas, who's another option. That's another injury. Just keep an eye on Aaron Jones. They'd leave briefly in the fourth quarter with any injury. And it looked like DJ Dallas got his foot stepped on and then immediately Aaron Jones came back in and Dallas not list on the injury report. I just wonder if it was like, hey, I don't care what you're dealing with. Go back in. And then you got absolutely blasted whereas helmet came flying off. I just hope Aaron Jones is fine 'cause he ran really well. - I'm gonna reach out to some wide receivers that are available in shallower leagues. And how many of them do you prefer to Denzel Boston? Do you prefer Casey Concepcion? - No. - Boston, I just say Boston. Romeo Dodd's or Denzel Boston? - No Boston. - Boston. Xavier Worthier, Denzel Boston. - Boston. - Boston. - Josh Downs or Denzel Boston? - Downs. - Downs, Downs. - Devon Veile or Denzel Boston? - Veile. - I think I'd go Veile for now. - Denzel Boston or Trey Tucker? - Boston. - It's both, but Boston. - Yeah, it is close, Tucker, man. Every time he's had a game like this, he's followed it up with a dud in his career. Three games, this was his fourth game with eight-year Moriards. And the previous three games, he had five catches for 41 yards. He had one catch for 58 yards and a touchdown on one target. And he had two catches for 13 yards on two targets. He's so inconsistent, but it's maddening 'cause this guy is blazing speed. Rashad Bateman, yeah, unfortunately for Bateman, Zae Flowers looking, training in the right direction. For Bateman, they talked about using him differently and 25% slot rate by Farah Career High, 8.7% motion rate by Farah Career High. And those were things that existed in week one as well. It wasn't just week two and now he gets Dallas. So maybe he could be something this year, but we know how it is with the Ravens. Adonai Mitchell, like zero to 10 on the Ado meter for Adonai Mitchell. - Five, six. - Would you drop Chris Godwin for him? - No, is it a non-PPR league? - No. - Is it a half-PPR league? - Sure. - Yes. - Don Tavian Wicks, zero to 10. - Five. - Five. - If DJ Moore were out this week, where would Keon Coleman be ranked? - Does 0.0. - Oh, I can't do that. I know, I know. He'd be up there. He'd be a borderline number three receiver. - 38, 39, ish range. - Yep, okay. Keenan Allen got an opportunity here with Alec Pierce out. Khalifa Raymond. Khalifa Raymond was a yard away from having a touchdown. I think Kayla Williams was a little late on the throw, and if he throws it on time, or maybe he just couldn't throw it on time, whatever, that's a touchdown for Khalifa Raymond. - Go away Khalifa Raymond. (laughing) That's so funny. Xavier Hutchinson already made the case for him. Hutchinson or Malik Washington, who'd you pick up for this week? - Hutchinson for this week. I think Malik Washington is just gonna be what he is, which is eight-peel-your-point. - So get you, yeah, maybe like a 10-11-week point-week, it's just what happens now, with Caleb Douglas, if he misses the game. - And I like Kendrick Bourne a bit, just because you're not gonna get 95 passing yards most weeks from Jacobi Presett and Bent-Borne's on the field, he's their slot guy, and he had 15.5 points in week one, he had a terrible week two, but they all had terrible week two's against Seattle. Jeremy Bernard, what's that? - Not traumatic. - Well, even he, like, yes, he scored. - It wasn't amazing. - 43 yards on 10 targets or something. All right, and then. Okay, all right, let's go to the tight ends. Joanne Johnson, Jake Ferguson, Dalton Schultz, Jamie, how would you rank them if they were all available? Or you could drop one, you know, for Schultz. Joanne Johnson, Jake Ferguson, Dalton Schultz. - Schultz, Joanne Johnson, Jake Ferguson. I'd rather still have Terrance Ferguson than Jake Ferguson. - Dave agrees on Schultz, Joanne Johnson, Jake Ferguson, it seems, and then there's Terrance Ferguson, who we agreed should be number two on this list. Pat Fry, I'm here with Jamie, talked about his great history against the bangles. - Six touchdowns in those 10 games too. - That's amazing. Hunter Henry, you know, if you're struggling at tight end, Hunter Henry's guy, you can pick up, he ran. I think he led the team in route participation. He led the team in targets. Now you see only-- - Not many, but yes. - But Drake may only through 22 passes. - Yeah, listen, this is what we said going into the week that you can say, "Dobbs" or "Demario Douglas" or "Mac Collins" or these guys. It was gonna be Hunter Henry is the one that was the preferred option. Same thing with the Texans. It was the tight end is the one that has the best opportunity. And both those situations came to fruition. - Yeah, it wasn't a big game because the game script, I mean, they had a defensive touchdown. They barely had a throw, but the next two games for the Patriots are the Jaguars on the road and then the Bills on the road. So, you know, you could get six, seven targets maybe for Hunter Henry. Darren Waller caught two touchdowns. Remember, he had one called back in week one at Cleveland this week, a Ronde Gatsden. You think Gatsden could be awesome? I mean, what an opportunity here for Gatsden. - He was really good last year with, you know, five targets, usually the number I'll look for. And I think it was eight games. Six of those, he had 10 PPR points or more. So, when he got chances, he was productive. It's just A, do you wanna trust the charges right now? Which is just so hard to buy into with these guys. And B, like the Bills for the most part have been very good at defending tight ends. So, will this be one of those games where he just doesn't do very much and you get frustrated with him? He's still worth exploring though if you have some tight end concerns. - And then there's Ken Yen-City, who has a great matchup at Detroit. Then he's at Chicago and Zach Erskine. - Not a great matchup, the best matchup. - The best matchup so far. Yeah, yeah, no, it's true. I mean, they're 10 plus half PPR points or more to three tight ends in two games. - They've played four tight ends if you throw in Dawson-Ox and all four score touchdowns. So, it's, yeah, it's amazing. And Mason Taylor-Turt. - Any interest in TJ Hawkinson? 'Cause Tampa Bay is also, but Tampa Bay is giving up the second most fantasy points to tight ends. - Hawkinson's a touch down or a buzz. You know, I think when you look at Hawkinson and Brenton Strange and those type of guys, like if they score, you'll be happy with starting them. It's kind of the same thing with Jake Ferguson. He would two catches for seven yards in a week one, then he comes back and has four catches and two of them are touchdowns. And so now all of a sudden, he looks like a potential starting option. So just don't chase those situations if you don't have to. But, could easily do, have one of those games, yes. And we haven't seen what Hawkinson looks like with Kylomer. - Anthony's asking, "Gadston or Loveland?" And I would, for week three. And I would expand it to say, "How many of those waiver-wire tight ends would you start over Colson Loveland this week?" - Loveland's 18th for me this week. - Schultz for sure, over Loveland. Ferguson would be over Loveland if we knew Nacoo would be out. - I'd like to hear some of those names that you've got ahead of Loveland. I have Hunter Henry ahead of him. I have, it's a pretty good week for tight ends. Johan Johnson ahead of him. - I'm John Johan. - I'm trying to think like, where's the, I'm thinking of my tight ends in the teens. - Let me see if I can give you some. - Andrew's over him. - Yeah, I'm with you there. Pits. - Yeah, for sure, with Jake Ferguson. - I do have Jake Ferguson over Loveland this week. - Harold Fanon, Jr. - I do have Harold Fanon over Loveland. - Darren Waller. - I don't think I have Waller over him. - Okay. - Trying to get an idea. - And Firemuth. - Definitely Firemuth. - Wow. - DST's Chiefs at the matchup is just too dreamy. - Chiefs against the Dolphins. That's, wait, is that at the Dolphins? That has to be at the Dolphins, right? - It takes rather Dolphins. - Packers against Atlanta, Bengals at Pittsburgh, Giants against Tennessee, and the kickers again are Trace Mac, Spencer Schrader, Ryan Fitzgerald, and Will Lutz, and a comment from the chat. Did he hit Adam in the eye? No, I have no idea what happened to my eye, but it's a little messed up right now, and hurts like hell. So I'm questionable. - Wash your hands, we go to the bathroom. - This is disgusting. It was disgusting when you said it off the air, and it's disgusting on the air. But why, you don't have to wash my hands, I don't even get it. - I will talk to you tomorrow with the worry of it or Wednesday. I'm Fantasy Football today, see you later.
