Week 4 Waivers + Tough Drop Decisions - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/29

Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in. Back again. Football is the best. Freaking case. Case. Case. Keynam's the best. Case. Keynam. It's like not just winning, but looking very competent. Do we not? It was awesome. Do we not see my point from a few shows ago? The parody? No, just there's guys that are veteran quarterback. Yes, yes, yes. They get thrown to the garbage heap and apparently are capable of playing so much better than cam ward. Yeah, because yes. Case. Case. Keynam, like in his time. I know. Was like he was, he was efficient. Yeah, I mean, he was a guy who bought his time was 29 years. He's been doing over half a decade ago. I was shocked. He was still on the leak. I really was. Well, he was, he was, he said that he is, he retired. Yeah, that's right. Okay. And then mentally, well, he hadn't played in paperwork, but he had decided that he was going to retire and walk away. And then Ben Johnson called him. And the only reason he came back was for Ben Johnson. Yeah. And then he wins on Monday night football. Yeah, in front of his family, it was 27 to 7. It was awesome. Ben Johnson is very good. He was in the back. And like, Keynam was seriously on point. Like so much stuff was just short timing. And Keynam was like the ball placement. It had to be precise. And he was, he got it done. Yeah, this was, this was not a good night for the Eagles. No, no, it was not. I would say year. I don't think I would, I don't think I would allocate the almost lost to the Titans with cam ward. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which seems impossible. I mean, genuinely, like, this feels like an Owen three team. Well, they could have lost the commanders in week one as well. They, they're not, you know, they're feeling the absence of AJ Brown. And they're feeling the age of Saquam Barkley, the explosive plays on the team. We're not using Makai lemon Eli Starras is a terrible draft pick. We don't have Dallas Goddard who had a really good week one and two. Don Havin wicks two for 32. Devon Tess miss six for 65. Saquam was 15 for 82. No touchdown. Jalen Hertz. I mean, hugely disappointing fantasy night. I was shocked. They didn't run more like Barkley to the outside was working. Fantastic. And then they're like, no, we're gonna. What's that? Jalen Hertz take this offense on. It's like unnecessary. Barkley is destroying these people. You can kill them on the ground. It's the bears. So, so the bears won 27 to seven. They won with 59 points in a week one. And here we are with Colson, Loveland, Roma, Dune Zay. Oh, Loveland, just just touch your arms, man. That was the, yeah, you say that, but also Rome just just opened your hands. He caught it with his fingers closed. And therefore did not. I don't expect more. With his fingers closed. That's what happened. His fingers were like too closed already to hit the outside of his fingertips. Like, what are you doing? Second and the league in drops, I think over the last couple of years. Well, I don't know if it's too much. It was a hardest was pointing out that people destroy Quentin, Justin for his drops. And Rome is one drop behind him. I wouldn't except with a huge as like a ton of volume. I was unwilling to acknowledge Jason's recommendation of Khalifa, him into weeks ago because I was not capable. No, emotionally mentally, the disc person in the face of a Dune Zay Loveland burden. Could have any sort of meaningful long term role. Look, when you're 32 years old in year 11 in your 11 as an undrafted free agent journey, man, that's hit different teams. You've got to, you got to make your mark. I mean, I get so much credit to somebody like Ben Johnson for, for like just being player agnostic and just taking the best play, the best player, the best route and prioritizing. I don't know if you guys have seen the play, Benjamin Sallock on Twitter shared it. There was a play skimmed up where two wide receivers ran through the C gap. Like the play is wild. You watch this one. So they run up through the C gap. Yeah, I mean, so you've got like no corner backs, essentially on two different wide receivers going in different directions. It is mastermind level stuff. Well, and the, the QB sneak for a case kingdom to get a rush down was we're going to have the guards fake. Like we said, they did the complete opposite of what is a big man football. We're stronger. We're going red. Like, no, we're going to act like we're the guards are going to pull out. And then case kingdom case kingdom scores a rushing touchdown. I feel like you got it filled off. Yeah, you got to walk home. There's no buses allowed. If case kingdom gets a rushing touchdown, you walk. I know I know a couple of things. I know that the now burden got into the in zone on a play that was basically a running play and he got pushed in from eight yards away. A dunes a three for 44, however, for 31 11 targets for Luther burdens. Yes, we will take that. Yes, we will feed the burden. Yes, but I will say this. Is that Mary Poppins you're going with? You know what? Sure. I know it's just the burden. Feed the birds. Um, I just know this from 12 years of fantasy football. If Khalif Raymond's roster percentage surpasses like it's 50%. Yes, dude. We'll never do it again. You can't look at him. I mean, is there any of you? Let's say we've just put all four of these bears on your team. There's nobody that's starting Khalif rain over a dunes. They are lovely. It feels impossible to do that. It, I mean, he played 75% of the snaps. He's been over 60% of the snaps in all three weeks. And so therefore on a good offense where he's very involved and knows the system well as being used while you feel like you should be able to start him. But how? How do you start a year 11? Like we know who Khalif Raymond is. Yeah, Ben Johnson knows who he is, which is a superstar. He's the next Parker Washington. Oh my God. Yeah. No, remember we were doing the like who's the next Michael Wilson. I think we did that time machine. Yeah, we found him. We might have, I mean, at least through three weeks. And here we are three weeks into the fantasy season. It is a, it is a moment in time where we can say, hey, if it hasn't gone your way, do not give up. Correct. We have been here for 12 years. And we have seen literally hundreds, maybe thousands of people right in at 0 4 0 5. Make the playoffs win a championship. Have you seen the injuries this year? Yeah, everything that's terrible that has happened to you and your bad luck, because it there is there's bound to full bad luck this year. That bad luck, that cloud, it might move over to your opponent. And also in every league, there are, you know, as the weeks go on, you get into week four, week five, you've got, you know, half the league is on the bottom half of their league and they start giving up folding. Not trying to start not going on the way and the league gets a little easier as well. You know, so stay the course and you'll be fine. Yeah, it's been, it's been wild so far. But don't be the one to give up first when those other teams start to give up. Right, you can take advantage. Let's talk some news. News and notes from around the league. All right, James Winston remains the team starting quarterback for now or how many weeks you give it to one. Yeah, maybe one. You think that they'll have McCarthy up to speed in one week. Let's put this way at the Cardinals beat him this week and Winston commits turnovers. It's possible. The Cardinals are the, are the, are the entire reason it'll be one or more because either the Cardinals are bad and James Winston wins and they're not going to, they're not going to pull him after a, after a victory and he might look fine or the Arizona Cardinals beat you. And then you're like, we've got to make a change. I hear what you're saying. Let's just, let's just see how one week goes. But genuinely it is one week at a time with James. He's the starter this week. He will not be the starter rest of season. He's just not playing well enough. No, he's playing. He's the worst statistical quarterback in the league and we've seen cam ward. I, we have, I don't, like, I do think that Jason McCarthy will eventually take over. But in terms of James being thrown in against the Rams when you're not, when you have him getting the starter reps and then playing in that in the storm game. I'll give him at least one more week against the Cardinals. That is, that is fair. We got to remember that that Titans game was a storm and you can't hold anything against him against the Rams. So maybe is there a chance we see a chance famous James. It feels slim, but that would be awesome. That would be awesome for neighbors to have someone that is just. airing it out. Um, Jayden Daniels will travel with the team to London and practice in some capacity this week. So Jayden Daniels should be back sooner than later. What a game by Mario to last week. Yes. Good news here. Justin Jefferson, ankle injury, not anything long term, and could play in week four against the dolphins. Wow. So avoided, you know, the dreaded high ankle scenario. That's exciting news. It is. I hadn't seen that. I was contemplating Kyler as my stream of the week. I think he's a fine enough pick up. But then I was like, yeah, without Justin Jefferson, I don't know how long he's going to be out. But if Jefferson's back soon, even if it's not necessarily playing this week, Kyler's outlook is much better. Mike Evans is day to day with his rib injury. That changed quick. I thought he died. He didn't. I mean, the way he went to his face was that of a man who was who took three arrows in the chest. He was reaching out to the to the scenic landscape. I was like, this is it. This is how I go. And I didn't I didn't feel like it was, you know, this is a tough dude. Mike Evans, you know, has. Yes. He played long enough. He's tough. It really seemed like he took three arrows in the chest for Buddha Baker. And well, I managed him that he's day to day. Yeah, they'll manage him through the week before deciding on his week for availability. Travis H and Junior will miss some time for the Saints with the hamstring. They were not determined. It was a re-aggravation as a reminder. It's like he was on. He was maybe going to miss with a hamstring, went in, gave us the as we've seen many, many times the the re-tweek of the hamstring. So I would imagine it's multiple weeks. Travis H and Junior will miss some time. I said that one. Breeze Hall considered week to week with the quad injury. I'm run burgundy. I'm pretty sure that Travis H and Junior will miss a few. So it's a hamstring. It's a re-aggravation of the right hand. All right. Breeze Hall considered week to week with his quad injury. Yeah, that makes the signing of like Braylon Allen if he's not on your team like he is for Mike and League of Records. What? How'd he get there? It makes that signing for like kind of difficult. I did not realize that Mike. Yeah, I did. I was going to go pretty hard after Braylon Allen. Oh, you can't dig. You can't. So yeah, I mean, Braylon Allen will get the bulk of the work. He's looks okay this year. It's just a matter of do you get it for a week? Do you get it for two weeks? Yeah. Somewhere in that department. We'll be talking about all these all these running backs here in the waiver segment. He's like, Braylon Allen gets Chicago and you can run on the Bears. The yeah, I'm playing Mike this week. We got the week to week update. But Aaron Glenn was saying, I'm not we're not going to give a full update to Wednesday. Terrence Ferguson unlikely to play in week four. They also lost Colby Parkinson to a AC joint. Maybe Higby is a one week. I mean, they don't sound like poop is going to be back. What? For this week is they said more because last week. Yeah, there's another comment about the fact that like he should be back soon, but it might not be this week. Okay, because we had McVeigh. Who is a liar? McLiver face about injuries. Can't lie if you don't show up to the press conference. Oh, thank you, McVeigh. Well, I mean, he showed up. He just left early dipped out. Yeah. And oh, nobody's here yet. I was here. Goodbye. Wow. Not happy. But yeah, there you go. Well, we'll monitor more throughout the week. We got waivers on today's show so much to talk about. So let's jump right in. Let's take a quick break and we'll hop into the waivers. Waiver wire presented by team mobile. Okay, well, it's been kind of slow on the waiver wire for the past few weeks in terms of like high investment waiver priority burning situations, but this week is different. We do have some players that I think could be significant tough. It's tough. It's tough. Yeah. I mean, let's start it running back. That's where the story is. We talked about Braille and Ellen. He's going to get an opportunity to start if Breast Hall is out. Let's talk about Ollie Gordon, the second last week, 17 for 41. And it touched down three targets three for 14. You know, in conversations in the offseason when they tried to box him into being a short yardage player, their head coach came out and said he would rather see Gordon compete to be in every down back. I think he's capable of doing it. Every snap of Ollie Gordon, I've ever seen at the professional level. I've been personally impressed. I think he's a pretty talented player. He's very productive in college. He should get the majority of the work, but Jalen Wright will be involved. Jalen Wright is a player that they value the speed, the big playability listed ahead of Gordon on the death chart before last week. And the further complication to the fab spend decision is the fact that this is a team that is not going to score a lot of points the rest of the way. In no way, shape and form is Ollie Gordon, Devon HN. And HN was struggling to put up much more than 10, 11 points on a weekly basis with all the snaps. This week, for example, they have the lowest implied point total at 13 and a half. So that's the lowest of the year. Yeah. And you're going to because the matchup is at Minnesota. Yeah, you're going to go to Minnesota and you're going to spend a bunch of fab on Ollie Gordon. And then you might end up feeling really bad about it for a week, at least. So what is the frame work here? Because in all my leagues, getting anybody at running back, having running back depth is the hardest possible thing that you can do. And so there's value here. It's just how much I am I'm just I'm concerned like of Ollie Gordon should be added in every single league. But it will be once Jalen Wright is back, I think it will be far more of a committee on a low scoring team. And they're like the schedule in the next two weeks is at Minnesota and then it's Cincinnati, which I know Warren had a good game against Cincinnati. I still believe that their defense is is much improved. And then it's the by week. It's like, that's a hard thing to commit a ton of fab to a running back that I think is going to suck for two weeks. And then you can't play him at three weeks. Yeah. I do think Ollie Gordon is the right pick. I'm Jalen Wright is not good. I think he's not great. I mean, he is a he's a very good athlete. And if you can find him a lane, he can run where you can't catch him. That part is good. If you find him a lane, I'm not sure he will find the lane. And I doubt you're making a lot of you know, openings with a bad offensive line, no threat of a passing game. So I'm not fearful of Jalen, right? I think Ollie Gordon, Andy's right, has basically shown that he's a he's a quality NFL player. But it's going to be a month before you're confident enough to play him. So dropping a ton of fab is tough. If I haven't been destroyed by by injuries, am I running back position? And it's just like, hey, I need I want a quick fix. I'm I prefer braille in a lot. I completely completely agree. If you're needing a start right now, the next two weeks. But if you're if you're good, if you're solid getting a player for the rest of the year, it's worth more fab. Yes, agreed. But I'm concerned that is he actually worth the fab at the end? I mean, let me let me ask you this. If jacory krisky merit was out on the waiver, why are what fab would he receive? I'm trying to more than Ollie Gordon, more than Ollie Gordon. Yes. See, I mean, I think that's a situation where he's been under 50% of snaps every week. Not hyper productive. I mean, getting a starter week for the rest of the year is the equation here. Right. But is Ollie Gordon going to be 70% in snaps 60% we don't know that the where I lean bill just in your hypothetical is they will like Mario and that team looked great. Jay Daniels will be back. I just believe more in yeah, they have they they're signing Accler. They have Katron Allen. Yeah. Bill could be in big trouble. I mean, what's the fab spin if you have 100 fab still for Ollie Gordon? Yeah. Oh, I mean, he will. I imagine he's going to go for 20 plus because it's a like the starters. I think for sure. I think he could. I don't know that I would. I think you could go up to 50. Yeah, you're going to have him. Are you going for a while? I don't think I'm willing to do it. But the nice thing about both of these guys, maybe in the 30s, like instead of a veteran running back coming in that you know what they're about like let's say Devin single Terry was the only back in town in New York. You kind of know what you're getting. With Ollie Gordon, there is tremendous upside potential on a bad team, but it's still a young player that we haven't seen given all of the work. So from an explosiveness standpoint, you could be surprised in a positive way as opposed to spinning up on a single Terry type of guy. Now, Braille and Allen is more rostered like Ollie's out there for every league that I'm in. He's basically on no teams. Ironically, as the H&N manager in our league of record, I drafted Ollie Gordon and then cut him because that's what ends up happening when you have other opportunities to pick up players that excel. Braille and Allen, 21% rostered. He has scored I think two times this year, right? No, the first one was called back. That's right. But he's looked very good. 22 years old had the youngest breakout age of any running back. But again, it could be very temporary. You've got Chicago in Chicago this week, and then Cleveland, Cleveland has been stepping up on the event to start Chicago last night. You can run on them, but it's in Chicago. And I don't know, we've been let down by Braille and Alan starts before. Yes, for sure. We have, um, we're not going to have a definitive update on brief until after your waivers run, most likely, depending on what what time your waivers actually run. I think that from from what I've seen, I think breeze hall is going to miss at least two weeks. Um, in which case, Braille and Alan, I think is a very good start. I I've really liked what we've seen from the jets so far. The offensive line has been a significant improvement from the year prior. Geno's been slinging. They've got the weapons, the deep looks like the real deal. So, you know, it's, it's a much better situation. Obviously, it's not long term. It's not rest of season. That being said, Braille and Alan has been kind of a flex with benefits. So it's not like, you know, when breeze comes back that Braille and Alan is completely, um, you know, 100% unusable. Like you said, he had, he had a touchdown last week, and I had a touchdown that was called back on a penalty in week one. Um, and then you have, uh, obviously the, the Saints backfield, which I'm very curious to hear guys's opinion. I think we're going to disagree here. This is regarding Alvin Camera. Yeah. Yeah. Camera is 54% rostered. Kendrick Miller's 3% rostered. Um, a couple of tough matchups coming up. Camera, yeah, the, the disagreement that I think we're going to have is just what we believe the team's philosophical approach is going to be to that position. And I think most of the work's going to go to Alvin Camera. I think that his, I think there's a lot more to the equation for them than, and I think we've seen it even with H and being active because we've been embarrassed at their utilization of Camera with a healthy H and, oh, that's still so confusing. I mean, to me, it's, it's like, I was, I was, we've done this the whole off season, the whole H and junior thing. And you're like, with H and U utilization, and I'm right there at the dolphins, I'm like, what did they do? No, sorry. No, it's, but I mean, it's just weird. Like I, I expect the majority of all the work to go to Alvin Camera in the absence of H and your work, Kendra Miller in. But I, I don't expect, like, if I had to start one on a weekly basis, I'd, in a half or full point, it'd be Camera every time. Yeah. So the, the way that I see, I would be surprised if all the work goes to Camera because they just spent a ton of money to bring a running back in and they didn't give him all the work. They seem like they want a committee. They were using whoever it was, Kendra Miller and week one, Camera wasn't there. Um, you know, they, they, when Camera was there, they were using H and as the backup. It seemed like an, and, and involving two backs. I think both backs will be involved. I agree with you that Alvin Camera is clearly the leader in volume in snaps. Kendra Miller will be the backup. But I think Alvin Camera is going to go for a lot more fab. And if, you know, I said this two weeks ago, I think if Kendra Miller gets 10 touches and Alvin Camera gets 16 touches, I think Kendra probably scores more fantasy points just because Camera looks not the same. I mean, he looked, he looked better this past week. You know, say in the fourth quarter, Alvin Camera had five carries to Kendra's two. Uh, and Camera ran 12 routes to Kendra's eight. So it, I mean, it was on Camera side, but Kendra Miller wasn't a non factor. I think they're both worth picking up this week. And, and to Jason's point, it's like, if, if Camera went for 20 fab and you can get Kendra for three, I'd prefer to get right. So you'd, you'd want to go to the Kendra side. Yeah. It's going to be a prolonged absence, I think, for H and at least three weeks, certainly not saying spend the most on Kendra Miller and drop fab. I, I think he's just a value for, he's going to not cost a lot. He shouldn't. Keaton Mitchell, Emmett Johnson, Jalen Wright, you know, if you want to spend, it's a very similar situation there. All he Gordon's going to be the big ticket. Kendra Wright or, um, Jalen Wright, yeah, I'm mixing Kendra Miller and Jalen Wright together and might not even matter. Um, those are a couple other names. Jalen Wright's probably, you could get him on the cheap, just in case the distribution is different. Yeah. Um, you could, I, I don't want the backup, like the Saints look like a good offense. The Saints are, are a fast pace of play. Tyler Schuck looks legit. The dolphins having the backup and a time share. I don't know that I want the starter in the time share for the dolphins. So I'm not, I'm not doing anything for Jalen Wright. Um, Keaton Mitchell, though, bears, you know, talking about he was, he was unfortunately for Hampton managers. They were, uh, Keaton Mitchell was very involved. Eight, eight carries, um, three targets. He's an explosive player. I'm not going. 30% of snaps and not going hard after him. But I do think he is, he should be roster, that running back that you might be able to get on the cheap and prefer Keaton or Mike Washington. Keaton. Yeah, I would prefer Keaton. The other names to pick up are just, you know, kind of insurance backs, make sure that Caleb Black is rostered. Um, you know, Kenny Gainwell, we thought maybe it would be a pickup, but it seems like Bucky Irving. I had read something from September 24th, because I was doing some research on Bucky Irving for the injury. Mm hmm. And, um, I don't remember the source, but they talked about him being on a pitch count early in the season. And then, yes, and then we got him even in a close game. We got him pulled out and he just sat for the last 15 plays of the game or whatever it was this past week. There was no Bucky Irving was just standing on the sideline. Everyone assumed he was hurt. And they must be handling this in a strict manner when it comes to the, to the pitch count. But he seems to be fine. Like I was trying to figure out was this a, you know, is this like a attitude thing? Like was there something that he did that got the team frustrated? You know, he didn't fumble. But it seemed like they literally hit a mark. You look at his games. Yeah. It could be a pass protection call. Yeah. It could have been. It's just weird to take maybe the best like talent that you have out of the game. But if you look at the opportunities in the three games, you know, it was eight attempts on the ground and 17 and 15. He stops at 15 and they don't put him back in. But at least four targets in every game. It's going to be weird for that team and gain well and all of those guys as we deal with no baker for a little bit of time. But is there anybody else? I mean, Austin Eckler, are you adding him? I mean, I, there's, I don't think so. Deep, deep leagues. Yeah. I don't think like if Austin Eckler comes back to a team which I could see very much happening, should he be added? Yeah. Will he be a fantasy relevant starter? Will he be able to play his way into a really important role? I would be surprised. The only other player I would mention, I would whisper is Caleb Johnson. You know, more weeks in the system, you've got a couple more weeks before we probably find out what's going on with Josh Jacobs. And man, they need to figure out a running game. They just have to make some changes. We might not we might not get Jacob's back. I mean, the league is trying to get that video and that could be this thing has been SNAP SNAP SNAP all over the place. Yeah. I don't, I don't mind you mentioning him as much as I should mind mentioning him. My number one wide receiver pickup this week is Chris Bell. He his snaps went up. This is Miami wide receiver. His snaps went up to 71% seven targets for for 67. Caleb Douglas has been out. You lose the weapon in the passing game that H and was getting the targets every week. And this is the expectation for somebody like Chris Bell coming off an injury missing all of training camp wasn't seeing the snap counts that we needed for any type of viability, but saw them jump from 41% to 71% seven targets. Big body guy had multiple red zone looks in this game had opportunities for touchdowns. To me, I personally think that's a much better opportunity on a team that's going to be throwing from behind all game long. Then what I'm seeing out of like wicks. And I would take him over in the league Washington. It's pretty wild that we are, I you know, kind of the consensus the top four ish wide receivers. It's going to be the Eagles and the dolphins, right. Wicks and lemon bell. It's absurd because it's like well, of course it should be McCoy lemon a first round pick with it. But then we have the app just more evidence of yesterday against Chicago. A very negative game script. We need to throw the ball. Don Tavian wicks two for 32. McCoy lemon three for 29. I mean, while Chris Bell and Malik wash, it's nothing special happening, but they're 17 targets between them. Like they're not destroying the the ironic part about those four top wide receivers is that all four are terrible plays this week. Like you're you're going up against the rams and the viking right respectively. So I don't know that I want to put any into my starting lineup. And if I'm not putting any into my starting lineup, I would I would go with the rookies Chris Bell and McCoy lemon as you know the the hold and and look for the future for them to progress to get more involved to get better as as NFL players. Chris Bell won't cost you much and is widely available. Yeah, I think I think if you're looking for a start this week, the best one to pick up and play might just be, can not a mum feel. Yes. Because the, the chance that, you know, we, we saw a big week, yeah, who, who's the word, baby? Mums the word. Look, four for 93 in a tush and obviously one of them, it was a huge play. But 73% of snaps, Pukin, Akua may miss another week. You're not going to have Terrence Ferguson this week. You know, Higby would be involved, but look, Mumfield, the matchup, the Eagles, we just watched a no name, if, if, if, if Khalif Raymond can do it, Mumfield can do it. So to me, that's like you're probably low competition pickup and start. Yeah. You could also throw Jacobi Myers out there. Jacobi Myers is higher up for me as well. He's a better wide receiver. He's, you know, a part of the system, Brian Thomas Jr. has been taken to the back of the shed. He had eight targets his last week and then the matchup on the road against Cincinnati, you expect a shoot out there between Jacksonville Cincinnati. It's a game you want, you know, pieces of, I would also say this week, if you're picking someone up because you need to start this week, depending on, you know, if, if it is a flex level, like, you know, it's not your wide receiver one or two, you might want to pick up and start a tight end over some of these wide receivers. They've been scoring a lot of rare thing. I just think there's, there's some names there where I prefer a lot of the stash and holds at wide receiver versus the play this week and, and I think that there's some matchups and some injuries that tied in that can push you that way. I will say, not available in any of my leagues, probably not available in yours, but it says 25% of leagues, Jordan Addison is out there. So just check if he is out there. 75% roster. Yeah, so people didn't let him go early in the now. There's a chance at it. It's a benefit. Yeah, absolutely. I think with, with color there and potentially no Jefferson, that could be a good start. Ready for the drop candidates at wide receivers. Sure. By the way, some other names we could mention real quick, Roman Wilson, Pat Bryant. You know, I think chasing Roman Wilson is wild because, you know, last week it was Jeremy Bernard and, and I think it's going to rotate around. Don't know. Well, Washington got a ton of work instead of firing mute. Roman Wilson was, was good last week, except he had the, the dumbbell play where it bounces off of him and turns into an interception in a score and he kind of got benched. Yeah. After Rodgers, probably, I would imagine that the captain had something to say about it. But Roman over the first month or so of the, not over the first three weeks, Romans looked like the best wide receiver on that scene. It seems like he, you know, Rodgers hates pitman, maybe even more than he hates Roman Wilson. And so yeah. Yeah. That's his own thing. Are you cutting Quentin Johnston? Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Michael Pitman. Yeah. Brian Thomas. Oh. Landmine. Yeah. I think he's a drop in a landmine. Yeah. Mark. Any time you would start Britain's change every week over Brian Thomas, you're in trouble. Marvin Harrison, Jr. I think. Oh, man. That's. I probably don't cut him. But I mean, it's sort of like, I mean, are you cutting Metcalf? I mean, you're not cutting Metcalf. No. Metcalf's getting too much work. Godwin. Yeah. I mean, you're going to have no Baker for a while. I just feel like the upside is gone. Yeah. I wasn't rostering. Godwin already. Can't cut him. Very proud of that back. Yeah. But yeah. It's like Keenan. If you're talking the battle of the olds, I'd rather have Keenan right now. Man. I'm going to be for Raymond to superstar. Mum, Mum for Mum for Mum for the Suns Mum for a Raymond. Everybody loves Raymond. Raymond. Raymond long term. What is the roster percentage on Raymond? Because maybe he's two. I'm seeing 13.9. So would you take Chris Bell or Raymond? Because I don't want to ignore Raymond if he's if we're here. No, he'll go Chris Bell in that one. But Raymond is. Let me go Raymond is right now my wide receiver five. And that's behind Malik Washington. So maybe that's not the right call. I'm telling you if he hits 50% roster percentage, it's over. Yeah. It's over. That's great. He will be. Everyone pick him up because that means that it's burden and loveling time. That's a good point. We could make it happen. We could do it. All right. Let's take a break and we'll talk tight ends and quarterbacks. All right. The grand Kenyan Sadik is going to be the dude at the tight end position for the week. He's 33% rostered. There's been, you know, Jason picked him up, held him, dropped him, picked him back up. I made a trade offer for him. This was why. I mean, there was the chance that you were going to see a breakout performance. It's not a coincidence. It happened and coincided with Macy Taylor missing a week and I Mitchell and Adam and I Mitchell. Yeah. And playing in Detroit. Okay. It was a nice. So to temper the expectations. I would temper the expectations. However, we're not sure that Mason Taylor had nice back. He's going to Chicago another great matchup and this is a player that I mean, he was drafted with once you break out. Yeah. Once you break out, you're going to break back in. You're going to play more and more 58% of snaps, 57% of routes. That was, you know, the high so far for his early career. He looked great, his yards after the catch, his speed. He really looks like a hybrid wide receiver tied in. He doesn't, he doesn't look like a wide receiver to me and he doesn't look like a tight enemy. He's like a thick, big boy wide receiver. I mean, six, three, two, forty. So he's not like a, honestly, he's not a towering. No, he runs around like I'm going bold. That's what reminds me of. Totally. He's like, he's like, he's a boulder and he is an athletic freak. He's a mismatch on every play. He's my number one pick up this week of all positions, including the running backs. I don't know. I think that Sedique has the chance to be a difference for me. Yeah. I have Alan at the top just for plug and play need, but Sedique, Alan, Braille and Alan. Oh. Okay. Josh Keaton. No. Yeah. Josh Alan is out there. Drop your fat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I probably would. Not Keenan though. No, no, no, no. Keenan is my wide receiver five. Yeah. Not Tim Alan. No. He's in the comedian list. Okay. So we don't show that. So Sedique. Yeah. He's two for me. I have. I've got Oli. I've got Oli at the top. Darryl Waller though, eight targets five for 51. If Cokeers out for an extended period of time, I think Waller will get a more and more opportunities that aren't just red zone opportunities. Detroit matchup this week. Yeah. That's the best matchup for Titans right now. This is another one of those where I was saying, you know, if you need a spot start at your flex, I think Waller might be better than some of these other wide receivers. You know, he's used around the end zone. He's needed. He's getting more and more involved. He was injured, you know, late into camp and was getting more. He's also just a late pick up. Yeah. Late pick up and old as dirt. So he's just getting more and more involved. I expect him to have probably his highest snaps, highest route percentage share this week in a good matchup. So five targets last week is pretty good for a player like that, especially one that's looked for around the end zone. And then I mean, I, you know, it's tough. You don't want to fall into the trap. But Tyler Higby, you know, the reason I wanted Terrence Ferguson is because the second target for the Rams is enormously valuable. And if Puka continues to miss and Terrence Ferguson, we know is not playing and Colby Parkinson got injured like, so here's the question 11 targets. I think people are going to have a problem with they picked up Ferguson. We don't know how long he's going to miss. We don't know when Puka's coming back. Would you just drop Ferguson to play Higby this week if you need a one week start because it's so tough, that's where it's really, really tough to me. Oh, probably, I probably, yeah, I think you got to do what you got to do. I would, I really don't want to drop Terrence Ferguson, but if you need to, if you can't roster two tight ends, which sometimes you can't, if you've got a shorter bench or other injured players, then you, you can move on from there. Here's another category of tight end roster or managers, which is, I've got Colson Loveland. So I already have two tight ends. I picked up Ferguson to play and said, "A loved one, I can't drop Loveland." Exactly. Now I've got to drop. But I will say this, Ferguson in his own right is a good pick up, like he will probably be dropped in a lot of leagues. We always say drop it like it's hot. Make sure you're looking at when your waivers go through, not just who got who, but who dropped who. And Ferguson will be dropped in a lot of leagues if you have the extra room for him for a couple of weeks from now. I, I would roster him. And then if you need another start, Brenton Strange, good match up this week, maybe an opportunity with the, I don't know, deletion of Brian Thomas Jr., they ran, we brought it up on the show. They ran a lot of 12, like the snap, snap counts for Jacobi and Parker were the exact same as Brenton Strange. Yeah. Defense is this week. Hello, Minnesota. There's a reason why can I, Mike and I both try to get them last week in the league, knowing that the Tampa, you know, Miami combo was coming up. We got out bid, but Minnesota this week against Miami is the go to must pick up. Now they're 80% roster, just people signed them to play against Tampa. Baltimore as well. Baltimore as Tennessee this week. I think that's why they're sitting on Mike's roster. Correct. Yeah, that's cool. That's against me too. But they're 69% roster. You know, the best, by the way, do you know who the number one scoring fantasy defenses in the national football? The way you're asked, don't know, but it makes me the Raiders. Yeah, that's what I would assume, because you're a Raiders fan true. Yeah, that would be the Raiders. The Raiders who, you know, they played New Orleans this past week, still had a double digit fantasy performance because the, I think they force four fumbles, three stacks, interception. They're, they're kind of just ferocious defense right now. They get to play the Raiders or sorry, the chiefs. They get to play the chiefs this week. So I do think they're interesting long term. I think the Packers are also a pretty good pick up. They're going to Tampa Bay and they're going to play, you know, we always try to target the quarterbacks. You want quarterbacks, they're going to make mistakes, throw, throw picks, take sacks. And when you have kind of an undrafted free agent rookie quarterback making his first start, that's Jalen Daniels. That is, uh, that is a nice player to target. Daniels. Oh, we, we have Jaden Daniels at home. Look, I am still a little bit burned from the Packers against Michael Pinnix, but I get it. It should, it should be fine. And, and to that point, they really, nobody has been worse than Winston and the Cardinals play Winston this week and they do it. Um, it's tough. It's tough because the card, I mean, Winston throws picks. He loves to throw picks. And thus far also know, no, no completions. Yeah, he doesn't do the completions, but he's doing the picks. It's like Arizona Cardinals last week, no sacks, no interceptions, no fumbles. Oh, they, they have the worst pressure. Right. You know, points allowed. I, but I, but I, but I get it. It might be okay. I think it might be okay. All right. That was the waiver wire presented by T mobile when you're updating your roster. I before kick off, you've got coverage. You can count on just another reason game days are better with T mobile. Check it out at T mobile.com/membership. Let's do some full stream ahead or Jason. You're putting your finger up saying, Paul, the win, checking the win. I'm just going to throw a name out there. Oh, no, disgusting. You already threw Caleb out there. You can, you know, if you've got room, you pick up Tyree kill. He's going to come back at some point. We're so far away. You think he tried that he's, yeah, he said I'm going to get off off the couch and get to work. He'll join, he'll join the chiefs in week 10. Yeah, I mean, it might, it might be, it might be I RM though. Maybe like there's, we know there's degenerates in like 16 team leagues and stuff like that. Okay, maybe, but ain't any standard 12 or 14. I don't, I'm not wasting the spot on Hill. We've got them in Dino junior Mike. That's a dying to see league. That's very good. Alright, let's get into the streams. Full stream ahead. Alright, I think you're going to see some interesting names hit the waiver wire this weekend. I think Bryce Young is going to be one of them, but I think Bryce Young is a good stream this week against Detroit. Sunday night football, the team has come out and taken responsibility for the gross mismanagement of tetoramic milling. I don't know if you saw that Dave can Alice came out and was just like, we're going to take all the heat on this. Like we didn't move them around, put them in a position to succeed. We didn't do it. It takes. So, um, that's nice of them to say. Yeah, just how, how, how does that possibly happen? You know, games get away from you and the pressure was crazy. I mean, that that's something we need to give credit to Mason Graham and those the the Browns are two and one for a reason. Yeah. And a lot of it's the defensive stepped up. Like people thought they would disappear with no miles. Garrett, but they have, you know, with Jared verse and Mason Graham and that, that group, uh, I just think Bryce Young once they lost cocker, it was a disheveled offense. I think this will be a much different game. I don't know what the overrunner is right now, but Bryce Young, I think bounce is back 50.5. Yeah. Yeah. I think he bounces back this week. And I think this was one of those guys. It's not a waiver pickup on Tuesday. It's a waiver pickup on Wednesday. When he gets dropped, when he gets cut, the drop it like it's hot. Yeah. I'm going to go with a guy who is very available. Eugene, Cyril Smith, the third. Okay. That's locally known as Geno Smith. My dude, uh, the quarterback for the New York Jets, talking about quarterback three from last week, 31 for 37, 84% completion percentage, 321 and three got it done every day of the week. I talked about the offensive line has been holding up. Geno is, is okay if you can protect him. Yeah. And, and the offensive line has been, uh, pleasantly, I mean, look, he's, he's 75 and a half percent completion rate through three weeks. Sixth and pass rating, eighth and total EPA among corebacks. He's playing good ball. And the Bears defense is beatable. 25th and EPA per dropback, 29th and pressure rate, which that, that's in Chicago or at home. I believe that's in Chicago. So, so long as the weather. Yeah. I mean, whenever I'm like picking things like this, it's like, oh, they're outdoors in Chicago. Oh, they're outdoors in San Francisco. No, no, no, outdoors in New York. I'm just like. I'm going with, uh, someone who will not be playing in the United States. We will go with Marcus Mario. Oh, they are going over. They are playing in London. I love this one. And Mario, uh, he, he is a wild man because he can give you games like they did last week where you're like, holy crap. You beat the CLC hawks and then he can absolutely fall on his face. But he is available in everywhere in about 94% of leagues. He was awesome through for three touchdowns. He's a cold defense. He's still running and the cold defense stinks. They're, they, they're terrible. So if you are, they're not going to win a lot of games. Like if, if you are in the hellscape of quarterbacks, because you mean the Drake May Hellscape Drake, the Justin Herbert Hellscape, the Baker Mayfield Hellscape, the Jackson Dart Hellscape. If I would, Daniels Hellscape, I'm not, I'm not playing Drake. I would do this forever. Mike. I'm not playing Drake May. I will, I'll put Marcus Mario to in there. Will you drop Drake May? He feels like a, a landmine at the, for the, for the drop him for bone X for the next. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, bone X was almost my stream of the week. I think he's going to get like, I feel very confident that the Denver offense after they get out of this, like, extremely tough part of the schedule and it opens up, their offense is going to be much better. And Drake May and the Patriots, will they improve? I think they will, especially when they get AJ Brown back, but that's a long time from. Yeah. That's like two months from now. Yeah. It's, it's, it's a, it's a landmine for a while. Yeah. That's crazy. A lot of decisions to be made this week. If you want custom waiver wire rankings, you can import your leagues ESPN Yahoo sleeper.
