Week 7 Waiver Wire: Top Pickups to Add Right Now | Fantasy Focus

♪ Fantasy, you and the whole six, oh one of them ♪ ♪ Focus, fantasy, fantasy, focus ♪ - Good friends, welcome in a fantasy focus football alongside Mike Clay and Field Jates. My name is Daniel Dopp, and we are wearing some NBA jerseys today. - Whoop, whoop, whoop. - Why is that, Michael? - Because it's NBA kickoff day. - NBA kickoff is what we call it. - That's what I was told. - Right? - Yes. - NBA tip-off. - NBA tip-off. - Yeah. We have a mix of big mix of jerseys right now. - Modern, throwback, and really throwback. Really vintage. - We need to vote who is the most jerseys. - That's throwback, this is vintage, I think, 'cause that's what we call it. - Yeah, yeah, inches throwback and current day. - I'm keeping it very, you know, like this is like very predictable, right? Favorite team, Boston Celtics, favorite player, Jason Tatum. My third child is named Tatum. I'm rockin' my J.T. - Hold on. - Optimisticator. - And for sure Tatum Bell was why we named Tatum, I had no idea. - Yes. - Overlions running back Tatum Bell. - Yes. - It was actually spoke. - Wow. - It's paying tribute to both Tatum Bell and Jason Tatum. - I like that. - Celtics can't wait for the season to start today. At three o'clock, which is disarming. - Against two field. - The Detroit Pistons. - That's right. - You're squad, but you are not rockin' a Cade. Cunningham, nor Ben Wallace. - No. - Nor a Rashid Wallace jersey. - No. - Or instead rockin' a Washington Bullets Bernard - King Jersey field. - Or why not? When did you acquire this? - Just see what it says here. - It says Excel 18 to 20. - You think so. Size 18 to 20. - Did you lose a punishment? - This is what they say last week. - No, field texted. It says 750 this morning. It was like, "Hey, you guys want to wear NBA jerseys today?" - It might defend. That's late for me in the morning. - The 750 is almost lunch in the eights house. - I was like, "Oh, no. I only have two jerseys. One of them is a child small that's been signed by a bunch of Pistons after they won one of the championships. And the other one is this one. So I tried to wear a t-shirt underneath it. There's two, well, this body doesn't come together overnight, guys. I've been working on this for years for what it's worth. - What about you guys? - I know this guy. - Yeah, Jason Richardson, one of the best dunkers of all time. - Absolutely. - And I was in the prime of enjoying the NBA. He was just crushing the dunk contest every year. So I got myself a Jason Richardson. - I'm so proud of my sharp owning an NBA jersey. - Me too. - This is the We Believe Warrior edition right there. Jason Richardson and I surprised Mike by informing him. - The Jason Richardson son, Jason is also an NBA player. - Did not know that, but that was the first round fixed a couple of years ago. - Yeah. Yeah, I feel like I wasn't a little kid when Richardson was dominating the NBA, but his son is in the NBA somehow. - Yes he is. - I don't know. Both of them went to Michigan State. - I have watched Jason Richardson play basketball against my high school. He went to in Saginaw in Michigan. Yeah, he went to Arthur Hill and they played against my middle and high chemics. - They destroyed us for what it's worth. - That more reflection of Jason Richardson's prowess or your high school's lack thereof. - Number two. - Okay. - Number two. - It's a little bit of both. - Yeah, actually. - Big show today. - There's going to be a lot of fun on this show today. By the way, make sure you do vote on the poll to see which one of us has the best years. - We're competitive. We want to know which one is. - Nice uniform in sports. - That's right. Big show today. Big show. What do we have? Monday night football recap. We got a long shot check in. Starts of the week. We're going to spin the punishment wheel for whoever lost. We got some week seven waiver targets we're going to talk about. And a little bit of a fab budget game at the end of everything. - Oh, I remember yesterday we said, "No, not really any major injuries this week and also nobody had scored a 30 fantasy points this week." And Monday night football may or may not have changed that. So we want to-- - Paint the entire narrative. Let's dive into that. Let's talk. Oh, no. First, we have a little bit of news before we dive into that. Monday night football. Unfortunately, Devonte Adams. We got news. Unfortunately, is going to be out with a ruptured hamstring. Going to be sideline for six to ten weeks right now. - I was just, it makes me feel I was just thinking all of my own. - That's very helpful. It hurts your shoulder. - Yeah. Well, that's what my hamstring is. Six to ten weeks, guys, he's going to be on IR for us, unfortunately, here in fantasy football. What do you do if you're looking at this Los Angeles Rams offense, other than Pukinuku, is there a next man up that you feel comfortable is going to take Devonte Adams rule? - Well, first of all, the season from, you know what, is upon us for the Los Angeles Rams. Two and four miles, Garrett's still not practicing. He played like what? Twenty snaps before he managed to land on IR, Devonte Adams going to be in the same spot. I mean, the Rams have just found every possible way to stumble out of the gates, as far as the next men up, keep in mind Terrence Ferguson still on IR himself because of an ankle injury. If he was healthy and performing close to expectation, we have to be saying, this could be a useful tight end one for us. Instead, Mike, we have seen the Rams be tested at wide receiver with their depth previously. Pukinuku, a mistime earlier this season. We have also seen that rarely when either of Pukinuku or Devonte Adams is out, do we have a wide receiver that's sticky enough in terms of value to count on him at a 10 team? - Yeah, absolutely. Cannot a mom field should be the next man up. We saw this week, 16 to 18 last season, Adams was out, mom field stepped into that role. He totaled five catches for 50 yards on 14 targets in those three games. This year, there was, he had two cups of tea as a, as a fill in for Pukinuku in week two. He had one catch for 12 yards, but then in week three, four for 93 in a touchdown against the Broncos to your point. So I don't think any of the other receivers will be consistent fantasy options. They're going to work in Jordan, Whittington and Tutu at well. And maybe for the first time, CJ Daniels, the six round rookie, it's a preseason hype. I think those guys will kind of steal from each other and not be fantasy relative. Mom field is the best shot at it. But I do think we're going to see even more reliance on the tight ends here. So Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, we're busy last week. They'll continue to be busy. And at some point, we'll see Terence Ferguson. And yeah, maybe Terence Ferguson can in two, three weeks from now be in the tight end. One conversation. But for now, he's no more obviously than an IR or bench stash until he's back on the field. We're heading into week seven. This injury is supposed to sideline him for six to 10 weeks. So on the short end, we're talking about week 13. He returns. Potentially. You're right at the precipice of the fantasy playoffs with a guy that you're like, do you want to start him right away once he comes back? And there's a chance that he misses the playoffs. If he does go the full 10 weeks, unfortunately, I think what you're saying is potentially, if you're in a roster crunch, if you're already having, if you already have a Travis H and or somebody like that on IR, we don't have clarity as to when that player will return to Vante Adam dropable. I think in a pinch, yes, because if this season continues for the Rams, like it has so far, I think they'll turn it around a little bit, but are they going to play Devonthay Adams down the stretch? If they are basically out of the playoff mix, yeah, no doubt about it. Also, his targets have plummeted with Buchenna Cua on the field this year. So he has he's been like, I was nervous as his last night before he even got her pen and player. Yeah. No doubt about it. But you know, this will also open up opportunities near the goal line for Puchenna Cua. I mean, this guy, you can make a case of pretty strong case. He's going to lead all receivers and fantasy points the rest of the way as long as he's healthy because now he's going to get even more target volume, not by a lot of you already is a huge target share. But more of those targets near the goal line that they, they specifically feature Devonthay Adams who has five of their nine end zone targets this season. So a good spot for him. Kyron Williams will keep getting targets. I mentioned the tight ends, just more touchdowns ago around for these pass catchers. Last thing for me is because this Rams team is so committed to the season with the big trade they made from mouse Garrett, Aaron, Aaron Doddle, under tires. I think you're going to hear rumors about the Rams sniffing around on wide receivers. Great. On the NFL. There's no shortage of names that we have already speculated upon. Brian Thomas Jr. being the most notable Jerry Judy, another name to keep an eye on. There could be some players that are cut loose via the trade market. The Rams would certainly be buyers. Yeah. And keep, I've heard people push back that they're two and four. They're going to have to rebuild at some point, they don't have draft picks. They're all in. I mean, they want to win the Super ball. They're two and four. They're not oh and six. They don't have a shot to win the Super ball this year of things come together. And obviously, Miles Garrett's going to be a huge game changer for them defensively. So I feel 99.9 percent sure they're not thinking, let's, let's rebuild and get some picks back. No, they're going to try to win the Super ball and what might be Matthew Stafford's last season. Takes a long time for teams to move off of their own preseason expectations. To that point, the Texans at 0 and 4 got a deal done for Marvin Harris and Junior. It was completed hour or not, not even hours minutes after they won their first game. Two Sundays ago, but vibes are trending up in Houston. The Rams looking to pick up those same vibes this weekend against the readers. Let's talk about some Monday, Monday night football guys, 49ers and commanders. Mike already kind of led with the good thing here. Let's talk about the good stuff because there were some bad things here. Christian McCaffrey. It's 30 fantasy points. Field came into this game saying I feel 99.9 percent sure. No one is going to reach 30 fantasy points in week six. Can I say that? No. Oh, you didn't. Yeah. He did call back because I use that number. I see what you did there. I forget. I'm totally blanking. I was up late last night calling this game on the Monday night football playbook, which is really fun. But CMC. Whoa. Back to clock. What? No big deal. No big deal. You were calling this game on the Monday night football playbook. Yeah. Thanks for watching. You guys are busy. You were at a concert. You were hosting a concert. You were calling the game. I did watch this game. I was napping. You know, so I'll just dance for Mike on Monday night. I was sweating. I was sweating. I feel good. So a couple of things here. CMC does top 30 points. The only player to do so this week, if it did not happen, and he got 30.7. So it wasn't by much. It would have been the first week in over 20 years that a player did not reach 30 fantasy points. CMC, by the way, now up to running back for the season. He has three games with 21 or more fantasy points. Some of the nerves, the concerns after week one when we saw a lot of kale and black seems to be. Oh my gosh. What? CMC is already becoming one of the greats. is like he's that's just here where he's winding down or whatever. Like this kid's going to make it. I really think that. But Christian McCaffery are before right now. He has 21 plus fantasy points in three separate games this season. He's 13 or more in every game this season. Mike, you mentioned he's eight points behind beach on robins. It's just hard to believe. Yeah, which is crazy to believe. It was a vintage throwback game. And one thing it did also confirm and I haven't looked too closely at the nine or schedule. I know they play the the Falcons next week. But when games get tight, it is going to be Christian McCaffery. Oh, yeah. And so Kyle Shanahan can't help himself. He had nine catches for 53 yards last night to go along with 16 carries. As long as he holds up, he'll be right there in that RB three to four conversation. And all of a sudden the Niners are thinner at wide receiver than they were coming into this game. No, Debo Samuel. That's right. Ricky Pier saw God hurt in the preseason. Brandon IU has been AWOL for over a year now. This team, I you by the way, still on that roster. I know in San Francisco, so thinned out amongst past catchers that they may have no choice, but to continue to tap, continue to tap in into Christian McCaffery because Mike Evans left the game just seconds before the half and he was ballin in the first half. Yep. He had three catches for 94 yards. It was so clear that Evans was also playing through a ton of pain. He didn't practice at all this past week. He's a veteran player. He's a gamer. He's tough. But Kyle Shanahan says after the game, we got to evaluate this one. It's not a long term Achilles thing, but we're hopeful to have him to sub come in week in Atlanta. Just me taking a step back here and having no idea the specifics of it. That certainly looks to me like a guy who needs a little bit of time off. Yeah, exactly. And I get it. They're they need them right now, but they need them more in December and January and February. Yeah. They're not two and four. There's no. Yeah. Give the man a week off six and oh, and then you have Atlanta next week. And then you know what you get in week eight. Bye. Bye. Think about if you if you're the 49ers, why would you not at six and oh, why would you not just default to we want to we're playing the long game here, guys. Yeah, shot this year. And you have some guy. I mean, you have McCaffery. You have George, George, it'll act. He's on her first and Christian Kirk. I imagine we'll be off I R this week. So you have some guys here. Yeah. They had to make a decision yesterday. They ended up not activating him, but it sounds like Christian Kirk is going to be around very soon. Mike. So I just feels logical that the Niners buy themselves some time with Mike Evans. But we will see if Evans is out, Kirk gets a bump. But I don't think any 49ers wide receiver if Evans is out next week can be in your lineup with great confidence in a 10 team. The only pass catcher would be George Kill as a non wide receiver and Brock, pretty probably even though we kind of disappointed in this one, only 17.3 fantasy points against Manders. Yeah, that's that's what kind of a red hot. I mean, they scored back, back to back touchdowns to begin the game. They're up 20 to three before they could basically blink. And he ended up cooling off as that commander's defense really played a gritty second half. Yes, he sure did. Yeah. Jane Daniels. That was the half I was locked into because in that second half, he wasn't available a whole lot from me in the first half. I needed two more points. One point eight more points. You need point eight. You lost by point eight points. 19 point. Oh, you're right. That's right. You're right. Yeah. So the story there is in the fantasy focus countdown league. You have the misses. The most the most points in your team, which, which has only five with the fewest points. You needed literally a nine yard rush. And you know what? On a scramble or something. You win that game. It hurts because, and this is the thing that you do with sometimes emotionally. You have a guy in your bench that you wouldn't have started over the guy. Yeah, but he scores more. You made the right call. It was Tyler Schuck. Tyler Schuck, if I had just played him, I would have won before this. It was about a six point difference. It's not like you. It's not like you started Kirk cousins and he got you seven. You started Jaden Daniels. Yes. Not a great matchup, but you know, the better player. And unfortunately, as a part of this, like Jaden lost one of his main pass catchers with Terry McClure and unfortunately going down very serious injury. And this one guy is being carted off right away, ruled out to knee injury. Sounds like it's going to be a significant amount of time, probably the whole season. Yeah. That sucks right there for Terry McClure. And the next man up for the commanders, obviously, the most notable name is to fund Diggs. They're on a buy this upcoming week. Diggs just, he continues to play really well when he is actually targeted. I think Diggs and Antonio Williams are due for target bumps. And then Chico Conqueau might be the player that people thought he was going to be. Yeah. Prior to Diggs being signed, which was other just before training camp or even during training camp. Well, Conqueau was busy last night. It was a very favorable passing game script for the commander. So Daniels did toss it around a lot, but with how this team has largely played defense this year. And with their inability to run the football, then it wouldn't surprise me if this becomes a pass heavier offense going forward. Yeah. Should be Diggs, should be a Conqueau and Tonya Williams the third option. Yeah. Agreed. Nailed it. The one other thing I'll add here is before the game, jacquery, cross came air, place on IR. Right. Rashad white, the clear lead back in this one. Jerry McNichols came off. I are in at a roll, basically split carries with Rashad white, but white at a seven to five edge there. Austin Eccler barely played in this one. I assume it's basically Rashad white, the lead back, the other two will kind of rotate in, but a white very way busier in the past as a pass catcher and letting carry. So he's the guy, if you're looking for a flex, that's where to look, but this might look a little bit like, you know, green Bay or that kind of thing where they're just not going to lean on these guys. It's going to be the pass catcher. Last thing I will say on this, Daniel's hardly ran last night, and you can interpret that a few different ways during the Monday night football playbook that I was doing with Brian Hoyer and Dominique Fox, where Dominique was laying out from a defensive side, how the Niners were sort of countering the ability of Jaden Daniels to scramble. So I don't think that there were no design runs that I can recall. Maybe he, they're low as is this season. It hasn't been running much, but they did a great job of neutralizing him as a scramble. They just basically prevented him from doing damage with his legs. The commanders did not do that to Brock Purdy, who had a couple of back breaking runs as a scramble or last night, that really put the commanders behind the eight ball. But Daniels, you know, probably more low end quarterback one status than the elite quarterback one status that we came into the season, hoping he would be. And he's still nursing that elbow injury. Like every time he gets hit, you do wince a little bit, just hoping that nothing major happens to him, given what's taking place over the past year point of buy now. So now he's two weeks, hopefully to get a little closer to 100%. But he's still, at some point, I think he's going to add more value with his legs. And that's going to be huge and fantasy. I think I'll be more of a mid range QB one that a back end, but we'll see how it plays out. Let's check in on the long shots we had here for weeks, six gents. I don't think any of us hit unfortunately. I had a Laquan tredwell did not hit field at Josh Cameron. Mike had Ted Walker and Mason Taylor for the producers. None of them hit that two in a row. We had two out of six weeks. We've hit right. So we had Colcomat for the producers and week one. We'll commit for Daniel and week one. Sorry, Daniel and week one. And the producers hit with, I forget, but maybe one of them was Quentin Torrey. That's right. Yeah, producer Q hit that. There you go. Q. So we're two out of six, not bad. Given these players have to be rostered in fewer than 0.3% of leaks. But Mike and I still looking for our first win again. Oh, yeah. There's 2026. You'll get, you'll get off the, off the snide. Let's do a start to the week recap. I think I'm, this was really exciting. Starts of the week. I had a, I did a tournament stack, guys. I had a Jordan love Matthew Golden Tucker craft with a comeback of Javante Williams, full on DFS stack, got 64.34 points. Really, it was Matthew golden, hitting on that. That was pretty big for me there. Next lineup we have is Michael Clay's. Mike, what'd your lineup look like? Not far behind. I lost Mike Evans last night. I might have got you this week. But, uh, and Ramanjari Stevenson got Corey Kinerd in this one, I guess, but otherwise, good. Like Lee 23 cousins 18 Evans got hurt at 12. So I like the mindful screen had my avatar and yours just has a fantasy football logo. What happens when you come to my robot? It's it. And my lineup also has my avatar. No idea what's going on there. Thank you, Matthew Stafford for doing your, uh, job 16.88 fantasy. He did it. John Harbaugh. Thanks, John Harbaugh. You got zero fantasy points. As far as I'm concerned, that doesn't even count as my opportunity to use cam scataboo, which I'm not going to use them going forward. Obviously, but John Harbaugh, thanks for literally nothing. If big fat bagel in his defense had Kim got in 25. You still want to loss, uh, yeah, for a layup there. Come on. Christian was in 9.4 and Brenton strange 9.4. Mike, I hate you to use a basketball term. You threw it up there. Yeah, Jason Richardson to slam it down right now. We got a modified wheel this week. Here is what we are going to do. Hopefully you can see it. Okay. Um, I'm going to spend the wheel. Yep. On the wheel, we have replaced our usual punishments with either the winner picking the loser costumes. That will be Daniel picking my costume or you've got two slices. I think we might have three slices, three slices, two winners costume. Yep. One, two, two winners costume. I get to pick your costume. Correct. Which before we do this, like, does that seem fair? Should I be picking Mike's costume if I get this? Oh, because I'm the winner. Yeah, like loser gets second places. You know what? I think I do want to do a vote. The three of us. But here's the thing. I have a costume lined up so we don't want to ruin that. Okay. It's very unlikely that I land on that anyways. All right. I'll deal with it. Of course, Daniel is like totally. I got you. There we go. Ready, set, go. All right. For audio listeners, oh, look at we got one sound effect right there. There we go. And oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Get to work, Daniel. That's exciting. All right. So Daniel is going to pick my costume. Halloween falls in a Saturday this year. It does. It'll be a Friday next Friday. We can do it. That's awesome. Yeah. Dude. Honestly, that's, that's great. Yeah, we were throwing around some costume ideas before the show. So we have some ideas in mind. Oh, I've got a couple. Have you heard of the band and Jean de Poitrine? Yeah, definitely. I have all their EPs definitely check out also after the show. That's what I'm glad you have ideas. That's what I was saying. Yeah, that's like you have to worry about costumes for three kids as well. So like this takes some pressure off you. I know. This is why about your costumes. Yeah, we were talking about that before the show. I'm trying to figure trying to work. It's like a whole process to figure out my, my daughter's costumes. And I had to figure mine out as well. So it's all like, God, this is amazing at what he sent. I'm going to try, I'm going to try and see if I can make this work for field. And Jean de Poitrine go ahead and look it up. Okay. Yeah, look it up at home. I'll talk about a musician that showed up to like the Grammys one year wearing. Like basically like an outer space costume. I'm sure there's been a lot of stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. I wish Mike would show up in outer space once or twice. Might have been Lady Gaga's. Might be that checks out. Yep. All right. Knockout league update guys. Oh, that too. Okay. We have a quick knockout league update. Cynthia Freeland is unfortunately no longer with us in the knockout league. Stop doing that. In the knockout league, guys, she has been eliminated. Unfortunately for her players hitting the waiver wire include Pukin, Akua, Harold Fanon Jr., Tucker Kraft, Aaron Jones, Aaron Rodgers, CJ Strouds. She had Mike Evans Travis ETN. She had four quarterbacks. So there's a lot of quarterbacks on the vehicle. Yep. What did I say? ETN. Oh my God. The jar. I am so sorry, guys. I apologize about that. All right. Let's dive into our week seven waiver wire as a reminder, four teams on a buy this week, three teams on a buy this week, four teams on a buy this week plus I know you know the four. Yes. There's three teams on a buy this week. And the chargers guys. Come on. Bill Jaguars and commanders all on a buy as well as the chargers. You see here on the screen, handful of players. You will be without. Yeah. Yeah. Why are Herbert and Hampton on there? He weren't. You weren't playing them. Certainly weren't starting Herbert and I hope we're not starting. Three touchdowns. He's like 10th and carries that'll get you there. But a lot of that was early. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. It's bad. All right. Let's start at the quarterback spot. So honestly here, you got Jayden Daniels, Trevor Lawrence and Josh Allen is a hefty week. If you have to replace quarterback, if you had one, my priority quarterback ad this week would be CJ Stroud out of everyone available. Do you guys agree with CJ Strouds? The Strouds, there are another name before we dive into why I like CJ Stroud. No, go for it. I'm good with CJ Stroud or Aaron Rodgers. I think that both of them have acquitted themselves very nicely recently. Rodgers has an incredible matchup in week seven over in Perry against the Saints. Aaron Rodgers. So we can talk about him too. He has four straight games with two plus touchdowns, right? He had three in a row. He's been slinging it out there from that perspective. Would you rather Aaron Rodgers over CJ Stroud? I think they're both streaming options this week on pessimistic about both going forward. The season Stroud, you are, remember Strouds, 17 or fewer fantasy points in his first three games of the season. Now he's picked it up lately, but he's capped out of 23 isn't even, he hasn't cleared that number. So you haven't seen a super high ceiling. He's cleared two passing touchdowns. Once the season, he's not doing much with his legs though, which is a problem 67 yards. And keep this in mind. He has two top five fantasy weeks. That's why David got the top five last night. Or maybe he might, he might have finished six this week, but essentially two top six fantasy weeks. There's only top 12s of the season so far. And that's the problem with if you're not running a lot of, if that defense is a little better and he has, and he's not benefiting from some high passing volume, he's going to come back to earth. The last two years, he's been outside the top 22 in fantasy points per game at quarterback. That all being said, they play the Giants this week. It's a reasonable match up to four guys on a buy this week. A Giants of about 27 plus points to Jayden Daniels entire shock over the last two weeks. So I do think he's a streamer this week. If you need somebody, but I don't think this is going to be a long-term starter thing. I can agree with that. Yeah. That's fine. I think this, sorry. You're good. No, no, no, no, you got this goes to the point of quarterback this year. Josh Allen aside, maybe Drake May aside. Brock Perty aside. There's like three or four guys that you're like, yeah, you're starting this player. Drake May for the first three weeks was not great, but it's like quarterback is just a complete cluster this year. It's so much of dependent that even if you like CJ Stroud, just for this week against that wretched Giants defense, that's good enough to be our priority waiver at. And I, I'm fully, I think you are as well fully on board. These are guys that are streamers for this week. If I need them, it's not like, hey, this is a performance from either him or Aaron Rogers where I think that maybe I get more down the stretch. But if I said to you, you've got Josh Allen and you were going to get 16.5, 17 23, 20.9 or 22 as a, as a fill in for one week, I'd be thrilled if, even if it's only 16 and a half fantasy points from a streaming quarterback, I'd still feel like that's a good number for me. I got six from James last week. Yeah. Great. Yeah. By the way, very similar for Rogers too, right? He is one weekly finish better than eighth so far. He's throwing all these touchdowns or all of their touch, 92% of their touchdowns have impasses. This season. And he's still at one top eight week hasn't reached 23 in a game. He's not running the football. And by the way, he's not playing very well. He's fifth and pass attempts. That's inflated his numbers. But he's a 61% completion percentage, which is poor and 6.4 yards per attempt, which will be a career low. Tons of interceptions. Lots of sacks. I mean, it's been a problem. But again, they play the Saints. They're top 10 in yards and touchdowns a lot of quarterback. So again, these guys are, they'll have their moment in the sun when the match ups right, I'm drawing by weeks. This is it for them, but not guys. I'm relying on. I've got a big decision in a league that has a six point passing touchdown scoring setting and also like some bonuses for 300 plus passing yards long touchdown passes explosive plays in general. Aaron Rogers against the Saints or Joe Cool Joe burrow against ravens. Mm hmm. Burrow. Burrow has been fine. I looked at this specifically when I was doing my rankings, like how he's fair to add Baltimore. He's been fine. He's been pretty good. I'm not really ready to think though. Like I know what Joe burrow has, but Aaron Rogers has Jeremy Bernard and he came back. There you go. Well done. Tell me more about Jeremy. What about actually, let's talk about, well, I want to do one more. Okay, sorry. I want to do one more. Kyler Murray at least has two good matchups taking on the Colts and then the Lions. I can't get there with you on this one, but this is not with me because I agree with you. But I want to throw it out there because the matchups I think are two good matchups. We haven't seen it yet from Kyler. Do you need to see it before you believe it the last game, the percentage of his past is against the Saints. Yes. But I'm just not. He had one touchdown pass in that game. It was a ridiculous fantasy points to the score 18.3, which isn't terrible, but he is 51 rushing yards. I mean, he keeps throwing that and throwing for over 200 yards, he's going to be fine. I think I am less enthused than you two are. I'm less enthused than the guys we just talked about this week. But I do think Kyler's legs will keep him in the streaming conversation. I think in the French QB1 conversation, this is why you're so, like, so, so difficult to argue with because it's like everything is so reasonable. And it's like, all right. So you had, it's like the anti-CJ shroud and Aaron Rogers case, the positive Kyler Murray case. But I like those other two guys more than Kyler Murray. Well, I mean, that's what we're doing. I love it. We're trying to separate these guys. I don't know. I think Murray. I think Murray is most sustainable to hang in the QB1 conversation the rest of the season to be clear. I interpret what you're saying. And I'm not disagreeing with a lot of what you're saying, but but the way that you presented can just be so perfectly analytical that it can be frustrating for those of us that have a pulse. I'm not. I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry. I'm trying to win. Of course, you're not sorry week. So we know rest of season. How you feel? Week seven. CJ Stroud. Then Aaron Rogers. Yes. Then Kyler Murray. I agree with that. For this week. Aaron Rogers. Aaron Rogers. Very close. What's funny about this week too is no Josh Allen. So you take him out. And then remember, we had this. We've been talking about this since the summer. Allen's up here. Everyone else is here. And everything will kind of shift around based on the matchups. But there's no Allen now. So you're like, who's QB1? Like it could be anyone. We'll talk about that tomorrow when we show our initial rankings, but sort of interesting name at the top. Mike, you'd be ranking. So it'll be. I don't want to hijack too many of your thoughts. Well, I think it's the same. So I do this thing where basically the baseline of our rankings is the projection that of course Mike puts together. So we go into our rating system, our ranking system. The player that's listed first is not alphabetical. It's not season long high score. It is whoever Mike projects for the most before I get into each possession, each projection by position. I always do like, who do I think the first five will be? And I think do a guess for yourself, just to see where you see where if I were just to make my own rankings with zero data points for Mike's projections, where would it be? And I think I went three for three with the quarterbacks. Wow. Not three. Yeah. One of them plays on Thursday night. Sure do. Yeah. That's my number one quarterback for the week with a Scustrake May more teaser for tomorrow's rain show. So I got some running backs and I'm not sure coming into my name football. I don't think there were any priority ads. Do you guys believe now with JCM officially being an IR? He would be a priority. No. I was shot. Did I say? Yeah. JCM on IR on IR. Okay. That Rashad White would be a priority. I know. I don't believe so. I don't know. That's like the report. I saw I send it this to Jeremy Fowler. A part of the sentence. And it's a Jeremy Fowler like in parentheses like shoulder will be active for the hackers this on Sunday. Oh, he's going to play for the part about the player in there and it's just a Jeremy Fowler will be active for the will play for the Packers this weekend. What's what is he going to be like a nose tackle? I don't know. I didn't see him out there. I was watching the game. I didn't see him play. Jeremy's a hooper. He can play basketball. I guess he's a he'd be a tight end then. If he played basketball, yeah, that's what it would be. So it's like that. You just missed the name. So you're saying no, although you did not believe that Rashad White would have enough value. I think he's at a bull in a ten team But not a priority ad. Correct. Okay. So then if you're talking about guys that are edible because we have no priority ads, it would either be for me, Rashad White just given the fact that he's going to probably be that guy, even though he's going to also have Austin Eccler, is there anything there for Kendra Miller and the 20 touches that he got? Are you attributing that to Alvin Camero left the game for a while? And they just kind of leaned on Miller in that one. Keep in mind, they play in Paris on Sunday against the Steelers. Don't feel great about this outlook and they're on a buy after that. And Travis Hian is eligible as soon as week eight, they're on a buying week eight. So there's at least a chance that Hians available in week nine. I don't know that for a fact, but once he's back, the hope is they freaking play the good player and not the guys that are just Jags. Yes. So we're going to talk about him later in the show, but I'm not optimistic. But yeah, Kendra Miller, low ceiling, you're just banking on a touchdown. If you throw him in your flex and a tough spot this weekend, but not a guy I'm going out of my way to get. We're going to rip some tie wide receivers for us in because there's actually a few interesting names. And full of names here. I'm going to throw him out there. Jimmy Bernard was great this last week. Been great for a couple of weeks. Omar Cooper. It's great in his debut. Pop Douglas fields. You played him and was great for you this last week. Keenan Allen with no Tyler Warren, got a ton of volume. And then you got Savian Williams and Tank Dell. Who's going to be back? We're just getting news at Tank Dell's back. I think there's three or four names in there, though, that you could legitimately look at starting with Jimmy Bernard and the connection that he clearly has with Aaron Rogers. Yeah. He's been unbelievable for two straight weeks. He looks like, who is the comp you made yesterday? He said, he said, he said, who can it be cool? Oh, yeah. I mean, I was, I was a little tired because I'm invested here and I, I hope he pans out. He's the new Kenneth Gainwell. Yeah. I mean, if he keeps getting 12 plus targets a game like he let it last week, he had 12 targets, got 11 for 87 yards and a touchdown week before six for 80 on nine targets. As long as Aaron Rogers keeps feeding this guy, he's going to be terrific in fantasy. The playing time's there. He barely misses a snap. He is a 28% target share over the last two weeks. His average depth of target is 4.9. So it's a lot of, maybe it's like, maybe like a, he can dunk Keenan Allen sort of roll. You ready for this one? Yeah. From our producer, Zach Randall Cobb back in the day. Randall Cobb. I like that. I like that. I like that. He is absolutely fitting that role. We thought Michael Pittman might fit that role. He's on. But Jeremy Bernard is handling it. I don't think you're going to get a ton of explosive plays because of his role. But you're going to have a high floor because he's going to see so many targets. And remember, I mentioned this several times over the past week. The Packers are just throwing the football near the goal line. They're expected touch passing touchdown rate based on their play calling is an absurd 87% that shows you how often they're throwing near the goal line. And they scored 92% of their touchdowns through the air this season. Remember, by the way, the Saints got lit up by J.J. McCarthy, giants, receivers at 250 yards in that game last week. And that's, of course, Supernard draws this week. So line of block now, he's, he's reached that status. I think so. He's for now. He looks fantastic. Oh, Omar Cooper Jr. I mean, he absolutely crushed seven targets. Six catches 103 yards and a touchdown, 22.3 fantasy points. Can this offense sustain multiple pass catchers? Do you believe as him at least at the back end of your bench? You can't not add him, guys. A little bit reminds me of the King in Sadiq add a few weeks ago, which it's a pedigree play. You can go one of two ways. Sadiq has basically born no fruit since then, but still talented enough player in a competent enough offense, even if imperfect to add him this week. Yeah. This one's a tricky one because remember 80 Mitchell was out. He'll be back some point soon and there was a lot of hype there. He's going to have a role. The good news is Cooper did immediately jump to Patrick and I say a Williams. There was talking the off season that I say a Williams was ahead of a Mark Cooper. So the fact that he immediately jumped in was good. Also, Garrett Wilson was shadowed by Christian Gonzalez in this game, which is another variable. Also, the jets go from the second easiest to the second hardest wide receiver schedule, going forward this season. We deal also they're playing the Miami Dolphins this week who teams don't throw on them this year. They've faced a few as wide receiver targets on two touchdowns, the third few as fantasy points to wide receivers, only three receivers have even hit double digit fantasy points against Miami this season. Only two even got to 12. They were to Mar chase and Richie Ray. So I'm pessimistic. We're going to get consistent numbers out of Cooper right now. But if he does establish himself as the two, I'll feel better about it. This is what the end of your bench is for as having guys with this kind of predatory that may be eventually developing to something great. I just want to temper expectations after a first round rookie comes in and puts up six for one or three in a touchdown is first NFL game. I think it's going to be more inconsistent than consistent, you know, wide receiver three numbers of the other names that I mentioned. I think pop Douglas is the one that gives me the most excitement. We're still going to see what's happening with Romeo dobs. Obviously got banged up this last week. He's on IR. He's officially on IR. So we're not going to wait and see what happens. So we know. Yep. I saw this from the great Mike Reese this morning that he is out through the Patriots by at least 70. So he's not going to be back until the earliest week 12. So you're going to do a lot of pop dog this then last two weeks, obviously you could kind of lose. Yeah. It's kind of funny. Pop Douglas who's career high for a season is three touchdowns already is three this season. And guys, he is fourth at wide receiver and in zone targets with six. I don't know what is going on. I mean, he was part of this receiver room last year without dobs without AJ Brown. And they barely used them. And now he's a featured player. So I with dobs out. I certainly feel more optimistic about pop Patriots very thin at wide receiver. Drake may play and well schedule a little bit easier in the upcoming weeks pop Douglas on the radar. Chicago Miami Green Bay Detroit. But then I love three out of those four. Absolutely. He's in my top 40 this week. So flux option. Yeah. He's going to be there. Anyone else you guys quickly want to mention a wide receiver? Nope. Let's keep it rolling. I would be I would not be adding save on Williams or tank down in an Allen. I would throw out there. He's still available in your league. Yeah. Yes. Savian Williams is more of a dynastie add. He played a lot in his first game back. And he's speaking of Jaden Reed Randall Cobrell in the in the Packers offense, Mike and Matt LaFlaur's offense. He should separate into that super quickly. What point do you get to the season where you say I want to add Jordan Tyson before he officially comes back? Or is he one of those guys that like I need to see it before I actually put in. No, you definitely have to add him before you see it. And he did travel with the team to Paris. So it sounds like his return is getting a little bit closer as a reminder, the by week coming up after this week. Yeah. So the absolute earliest that we would see Jordan Tyson would be week nine. You're not going to be playing Tyson and week nine the first week back, but an intriguing ad that could make you give you a playoff push, right? Yeah. Yeah. And especially in that offense, it's top five and attempts, completions and passing touchdowns there could be an opportunity there. By the way, good to feel good story. We're talking about bad injuries. How about a good one really quick? We're not going to add this guy, just a name to keep an eye on good story. Tank Del. Yeah, love it. Gonna play this. Love that. So that's awesome. Cool to see. You know, I highly doubt he'll be anywhere close to consistently valuable in fantasy with of course, Marvin Harrison added to Nico Collins, not to mention Jalen Nolan. Everyone else. He's your Hutchinson's butt. John Booty. But good story. One wide receiver. You know that you explain it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's talk about a couple of tight ends here really quickly. There's not really any big priority tight ends to be honest. If there was one that I liked, Hunter Henry is the guy that I'm going to fall for or fall on because of the fact that I think that Patriots team is with Drake. Make going to have as much touchdown upside as anyone else right now at the tight ends. Bob, I think we're going on like close to a decade of Hunter Henry being one of those tight ends. Yes. Good enough to like use on occasions. Never good enough that you're like, that's my tight end one for the full season. Yeah. He'll be on the way for wire. Tight end every four weeks or so, but he is yet to clear five targets in a game this season. Let's hold our horses here. But any tight end that you are grabbing to stream off of the waiver wire, you are hoping that they get in there. Touchdown dependent, like you don't think they're getting, if they were going to get volume, they'll probably be rostered because they're being so utilized in someone's offense. I mean, now you're just hoping on him this week, so not a streamer for me. Wow. What about Michael Mayer? Because he's actually playing tight end with Brock Bauer's being a wide receiver. I have him at 18 this week. Okay. All right. Okay. I know this first time because Michael Mayer, I added him the week after he had like eight catches and then he had one catch for two yards against the Patriots and then I dropped him in this past week. He had what seven catches for 95 cards, but he has been all over the map this year. Two good games. Four bad games. By the way, the Rams have had tight ends numbers so far this season. They actually face Tremac bride last week, it's seven for 53. They face Isaiah likely leads all tight ends in fantasy points, five for 33. No one else is even at 30 yards. So I'm not sure I'm picking up and streaming Michael Mayer this week. I can tell you this. I'm not because if I do, he's going to score three points. If you're going to stream a defense this week really quickly, Jets taken on the dolphins and Browns taken on the Titans, do either one of those make you feel better than the other? Like both. Yeah. Both Jets and dolphins and then I actually don't mind the Titans against the Browns on the other side. Absolutely. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. Yeah. You got you got some options there to stream. I love streaming defenses. So these guys are disaster. Your defense is this season. Oh, the Viking. It's been brutal. Roodle takers too. We'll talk about that. Maybe at some point, we got an answer to the poll that we put out at the beginning of the show. That's uniform. I better have won. Who has the best uniform? Oh, my. Come on. I lost. I have 45% of the vote. Thank you very much. Bernard King. Vintage. And then we went with the throwback. Jason Richardson. I think people are just picturing Jason, which Richardson doing the windmail dunk. Yeah. Well, you got the most votes. So they're picturing you doing something. I don't know what they're picturing you doing, but you know, let's move on to the mailback guy, let's do the mailbacks. I don't care for it at all. I did go sleeveless underneath this one. All right. Shout out to everybody, Eric Moody. Follow him on social media at Eric and Moody. This first question comes from @Daniel Vigiano. Okay. At quarterback this week, Williams or Bryce Young, then at Flex, a mecca, a buka or Ali Gordon. I'm on Bryce Young at quarterback over Caleb Williams. This feature is defense is legit, man. And Caleb was awesome this past. week, but this Patriot's defense is legit. My flex there will be a mecca. I have Caleb one spot ahead of Bryce. So I can't really pick at that one. That's close call. I'm definitely a buka overall. I go. And I'm still on the pessimistic side that we're going to get consistent numbers out of all the Gordon and a buka, especially at Baker Mayfield's back. I think get going or get wrong. Continue rolling. He's had a couple of good games in a row. Next question we have from chat. Let's see what we got here. This one from O regex Dallas got it or Colston, Loveland. While I mentioned this Patriot's defense is legit. I'm looking for the upside here. Give me Colston, Loveland. Yeah. Funny. This was a something I was trying to sort through last week. I felt like it was close and I still have them back to back of my rankings, but feels like a comfortable edge with Loveland right now. After what we saw last season and Caleb back. So not to mention the Eagles dealing with the back of quarterbacks. Give me Colston. I would go to Colston, Loveland as well on that one. All right. One more question here. Motto K wants to know is a Manuel Wilson droppable now guys wouldn't go that far. Yeah. I'd like maybe in 10 team leagues. If you're in a tough spot, I would prefer to keep them for a week and see what Charbonne looks like and make sure there's no setbacks. Make sure he's active too. We'll see how it practice goes this week. But yeah, I mean, even if even if they say he's out this week, a manual Wilson after what we saw last week, probably a fringe RB to a flex option. But I mean, they used the other to use vales jones a lot this week. They use George Hullani a lot because of the game script and they have Kansas or West Kansas City at home and there's on Monday night the following week. I would say this. I think we're a week away from having the clarity on a manual. So I think I think tight unless you if you need a roster spot, I do think drop a bowl, but I would prefer to buy one more week because while Charbonne will be activated. I think Thursday is the deadline. It doesn't mean that he'll be active to play on Sunday night against Kansas City, but even if he does, he might play 10 snaps. That's a bangers on the night game. Yeah. Seahawks at home versus the undefeated chief. I know that's what I mean. That's a walkable. That's going to be fun. That's a really good test for both of those. Yeah, city offense going in and Patrick Mom's numbers have fallen. He hasn't had to throw a lot, but his numbers are down as rushing down the last couple of weeks. Like pressure is going to be on that offense in Seattle against what is still an elite defense. And then of course, the Seahawks are three and three. They have to get rolling to eat to win. Yeah. All right, Jent. I'm going to bring a couple of trade targets to the table. If you don't mind to finish out the show, I got a handful of names. And I'm just going to tell you why I think they are worth trading for and or the arguments that I would use what I'm trying to do. I have actively tried to trade for all of these players across the trying to get these. Okay. Yes, I am. I got it. Tell me more than. I'm going to start with Devante Smith. Why do you see for 27 and total points, guys? Why do you see for 10 and points per game, though, because he missed weeks four and five. He's been unbelievable. Here's the thing. I want to see if I can gaslight the Devante Smith manager and to be nervous about Tanner McKee and this Eagles offense because a lot of the way that I will do trading, you can you can just send an offer. Hey, Devante Smith for pick somebody. I don't want to do that. I want to like have a conversation with you to be like, here's why I think this is good for my team. Here's why I think this is good for your team. How do you feel about the Eagles offense? Like I want to like get into this conversation and start trying to see if I can I plant seeds of doubt to be able to get a guy that has a 32.8% target share in the games that he has played. That's number two at the wide receiver spot. He is unbelievable. But because Tanner McKee is under center, because this Eagles offense has been as bad as they have been. Is there a shot that I can go in with a team, a manager who is maybe two and four and say, Hey, you want you need a little bit more help. Like you can't just rely on this Eagles offense. If you've seen the way that they've been playing, I know Devante Smith is good, but I've got some other things. I don't want to try to. This is one of the things that I want to say quickly. And you can push back on this if you want. I don't like saying who I want to try and trade for, because there are so many different nuances with scoring types, league sizes, how the roster is built. But I do like being able to say everyone has a standing. So like if you're four and two, you're in a good spot. It doesn't make a difference what your roster type is like for for that. If you are in a good spot, I want to go out and try and gas light as much as possible. The Philadelphia Eagles or the Devante Smith manager to see, can I get him to be able to trade and come over to my squad. I think this one's a very easy one. I think both of you are going to be like, yeah, I'd love to have Devante Smith. I don't think that you're going to push back on that. Well, I would say this the next two weeks, you might want to do it before the next two weeks, because they play the Cowboys on Monday night and the Commanders the following week. So opportunity knocks for them to move the football. Effectively, you're also banking on Tanner McKee getting better by the week. I thought he was fine last week, like fine relatives, my expectation. Yeah. Not not average for NFL quarterback. I feel no average for NFL quarterback, but fine relative to what I thought. Tanner McKee. I think he was more than fine. And Devante Smith is a legit wide receiver one, not in fantasy, but for his squad. I just think that I want that talent on my team. Yeah. My only pause. I mean, obviously it depends on what you're having for him. I'm just worried about everything just fallen apart with this team right now. Just so many. That's exactly what I'm trying to pray on. I know that, but if it actually happens and you get Smith and he's wide receiver, 32 of the rest of the season. I mean, like because everything fell apart and he missed games and all that. I mean, I'm a little nervous about that investing in a team that's in this these circumstances right now. But then again, I'm maybe I'm a irritated Eagles fan right now. I could be it. Is he the safest eagle right now in fantasy football? Absolutely. So maybe Dallas got her because he's just a tight end position. You expect him to be a top five tight end, but he's also going to probably hover around tight end 10. But Devante is the safest for explosive upside. Mike, do you have strength the schedule of rest of season? Yeah, I have a lot of these players neutral so far, neutral rest of the season for him. It is light. Right. Next couple of games. Remember the fantasy playoff schedule for the Eagles is it's tough. And that's another part. I don't know how many of these guys are going to start come fantasy playoff time. I want to talk about Travis H and junior. You already kind of mentioned this to be honest as we went through the wave away or conversation, but has missed three games with an injury is going to get the Steelers this week. Obviously is going to miss that game as well. And then there's a buy next week. This is another one of the situations where if you're looking at a manager that has Travis H and and they are two and four or one and five or even like a three and three team that just has like really low point scored. I want to look at that as I'm going through this trade. I'm going to see like, how is the manager that has Travis H and doing so that I can go out and try and do this. They've been mid pack across the board. Saints have been Kamara has shown some flash plays every once in a while, but he hasn't been unbelievable. He hasn't just turned back the clock. Kendra Miller is Kendra Miller. No offense. So I think it is worth the risk and very much so it is a risk. If you want to go out and try and get Travis H and because we didn't see him good at the start of the year when he took over. But if you are in a spot where you are four and two or you are five and one or you have a really strong squad and you have some flexibility. I think he is my favorite running back to go out and grab especially because a team that he might be on is just struggling knowing they haven't had him for so long. They should assuming he comes back and that hamstring is no longer an issue once he is back. He should be playing a ton the narrative right. They're awful. Alvin Camara can still get his passing game work. I have no issue there, but they should be tapping into Travis H and whether they actually do remains to be determined because they should have known that out of the game from the jump and instead they were playing like three running backs the game. Yeah, and I don't know if that's going away. I think they like CJ Donaldson. I don't think he's going to. Yeah, I don't think he's going to disappear now. He's going to touch down last week too. So I'm nervous about a 41 touches in three games. No touchdowns. He had one good game and he had one game with nine fantasy points and he needed nine targets and weak one to get there. So I think if you get him on the cheap, which is now probably your last chance to do it. Maybe yeah, but I don't know. I don't know if he's going to be a consistent good to RB two. What kind of what we thought coming into the season. I don't know if they'll live up to that. I think you got to. I'd like to get him this week because he's not going to play this week. And then if you get him in the by week, the manager that has him might be thinking, all right, well, I'm finally getting Travis H and back like you got to kind of pounce now while you can. How about him? You kind of mentioned this the other day and I started to think about it. Carnell Tate, I think is one of those guys that is actually a great by low option. If you are a team that is currently in a good spot, 29 catches, 344 yards, only one touchdown, only wide receiver 29. But what I see when I look at this are two pocket games in which he was unbelievable as the wide receiver won for his squad. Week four against Baltimore nine for 45 on 12 targets for 21 at point five fantasy points last week against Indy six for 70 on a touchdown on seven targets for 19 fantasy points. You're going to have some pockets where Carnell Tate and this offense isn't good. Yeah, we've seen that in four of the six game. I know, Michael. I know. But what I want to bank on is can I buy low potentially on this guy understanding off of this week might be tough because you just played well. But Carnell Tate rest of season, I want to get this rookie wide receiver field. You made me think about this after you talked about it yesterday. I want to get him for the second half of the season. It might be bumpy. It might take a little bit. But if I can have him as a flex or the first guy off my bench and I can see if he can just continue to develop and get stronger and stronger with cam ward. Just like I said with Devente Smith, like, you can have really good wide receivers on not good football teams and they can still be good for us and fans. I think this really just comes down your faith. If you have any in cam ward, becoming a better player, he has been obviously very disappointing through what a season and a third. My biggest takeaway on Carnell Tate through the first six games is that the narrative and I was in part probably guilty of this of him just becoming like a solid wide receiver to in the NFL. I don't think that's accurate. I think this guy looks like he could very much become a wide receiver one for a legit passing offense going forward. There is good for his fantasy upside because he can do it if he gets opportunity to these. It's just a matter of whether you trust his quarterback. Maybe better in dynasty than redraft given the conversation you're having. But that's part of being able to roll the dice on some of these trade targets that you have. Yeah, I drafted a lot of carnell Tate. I kind of leaned into this. history of wide receivers drafted in the top 10, they've had a lot of success in fantasy work, our list of circumstances. Of course, if you're drafted in the top five or 10, usually on a bad team. And Tata's kind of followed that. But you know, part of why I liked him too, is I thought, okay, Kim, more near two will make a leap. He hasn't. He's not playing well. It's complete 62% of his passes, 5.6 yards per pass attempt is terrible. Tate does have a 27% target share, which is outstanding. Also, the Titans receivers have had a top five schedule so far, top five easiest schedule. That's the same going forward. Yeah, the schedule is very light. So, there's some pluses and minuses, but it's kind of going a bit like I expected. He's going to be a little boom bust. He's going to have some big games because he's super talented, but words holding the offense back as well. So I'm nervous about this. I just don't know if I'm going to go out of my way to acquire him. I think what we're getting from him, the up and down nature, is what we're going to get going forward this season. I'd love to be able to have him on my bench, just for the end of the year and what he could be. But I understand what you're saying. I recognize that. I got one more I want to throw it to you guys that I think is a little bit crazier. Oh, it's crazy. Yeah. What if Mike McDaniel gets fired? Like, McDaniel could very well get fired. This is replacement if he does. Adam Gase. Adam Gase. I understand. Is there a shot that managers are just so out that they will take anything to move Omari and Hampton or Lad Maconkey? Yes. We're doing bust tomorrow on the show if I'm not mistaken. And I can guarantee you that one of those two will be the biggest bus. I like. I like one of these. I don't like the other. It can't get worse for either one of them to be honest. It's bad as bad as it could get. I like Lad Maconkey more than I like Omari and Hampton. Although I like Omari and Hampton because he plays the running back position. This is this is why you should watch YouTube for what it's worth with us. But this is all narrative based. You can get Omari and Hampton. I think for so cheap that if they do decide to do anything with their offense and he goes back to just being a part of the player that he was last year. Guys, we saw him have three top 10 weeks last year as a rookie. Yeah. I mean, I said we just fully out. I do have questions about the player on time. I mean, the scheme sucks. The offensive line stings. But I have some questions about the player now too. I'm not as bullish on the prospects as I think I felt coming. Yeah. I don't either. But you can now get him for five cents on the dollars. I mean, he's very low in yards before contact. He's been actually pretty good after contacts. So there's something to be said for the offensive line play there. But the charges running backs have also the fifth easiest schedule so far. It gets much tougher going forward. They're using three backs. A lot. So unless they're going to trade like a commodity at all, I don't I don't know. When you say they again, this is this narrative you're talking about Mike Daniel. The whole point is like if we get to an atom case, if we can just change. Okay. But the whole narrative in the offseason was Mike McDaniel's to get in this offense to the next level. They're getting out of this. Who said that? Whoever said that should be shot. He's getting now. Sorry. Six weeks later. He's all done. Six weeks later. Now it's like, oh, but if they get rid of McDaniel, that's what's going to unlock this. Like, come on. Like, what are we talking about here? All right. So by the way, what's he been here? Yeah. I don't even know. But imagine, imagine at any point, it's some saying, you know, what we really need to get our fantasy fortunes turned around is to fire Mike McDaniel and replace him with atom gase. Exactly. It didn't get worse than it has been. That's the thing down world. Oh my god. If that was, yeah, this makes no sense to me. I will say this though. I'd buy on lead. I would buy on lead. I would buy on lead. I'm not sure. McConkey week one member. He missed half of that game. I don't know if he's been healthy since that game. He has not in that game though. Five for 82 and a touchdown and seven targets. That was in basically just the first half. So he came out red hot. His only other full game. He had four for 66 and we three, which is a perfectly good game. Their schedule is fifth hardest going forward, which is concerning. But I believe in that player's talent. I believe he's going to have a big target share. They're going to run that off passing game through him best they can. So if he can get healthy after the buy, I think he can get back on track. All right. So the only trade target that you guys like is lab mcconkey. They suck. Yeah. Here's the only one I probably I'm okay with. Carnel tape. Mike's okay with lab mcconkey. I was holding. I think it's a lot of holds for me. Mcconkey. I'd probably maybe I guess effort to get one of the problems. Maybe with this segment is I was looking at it from like this standpoint of where my teams are at and most of them are just either five and one or six and oh, so I just maybe have such good except. He said most of them. I didn't say all said most of. Not in the show league though. All right, guys, let's talk about our draft budget game. We're going to have some fun with this one. Who came up with this idea? Who did come up with this idea? I believe that our producer came up with this right. Zach is that true? Yes. Producer Zach came up with this idea. We're going to put together an all-time fantasy squad right now quarterback running back wide receiver tight end head coach. Each one of there's a $5 row, a $4 row, a $3 row, a $2 row, and a $1 row. This was hard. You get a $15 budget. This is much easier to be able to see on the YouTube stream. Sorry if you were listening right now. But we have 15 bucks to put together five players. Michael, let's start with you. I already see. Did I just get changed or did I mess up? I already screwed up. That's all right. No big deal. Why don't you just give us your numbers, guys? Maybe I don't. I don't know. All right, so I have Vinnie test of Erdi. We'll see if I can, if I did this right. Maybe I'd say I'm out of order. $1 for my court. But the you, you know, got to support them. Randy Moss, my wide receiver, he was $2. So got that right. Okay. I do it. Just have two reversed. The $3 Indie read, of course. Come on, former long time Eagles legendary head coach. I want Indie read $4. Jimmy Graham. He's there, right? Jimmy Graham is second. He's a $2. Say I messed something up here. You can, you can spend $2. All right. Give me Jimmy Graham. Yeah. I don't know what, what I did there. Anyway, that's my tight end. And of course, in a $5, give me peak LT. Come on. But they need in Tomlinson 2006. I will take him. And then I guess I have a couple extra bucks here. Because I messed up the I'll take Marshall lunch to why not just throw him on there. Why not? Jimmy Johnson, if also from the you, we got a lot of a lot of representation from the you here. It's one, two, three. Well, Jimmy Johnson is an assistant head coach there. I mean, Randy Moss played the Chad pennington. He was that was his guy at Marshall. So he loved him too. A lot of connections field. What are you? So at quarterback, I am spending $2 on 2007. Tom Brady, he threw 50 touchdown passes, that year. 23 of them went to Randy Moss running back. The only one that I think all of us will agree on without question is ladenian Tomlinson 2006. Still the greatest fantasy football season ever. Score 28 touchdowns did LT. He was ridiculous running, receiving even through a couple of touchdown passes that year. Did you know that ladenian Tomlinson though, they were talking about this from the broadcast a couple days ago, members of the 5,000 receiving and 5,000 rushing yards club. Alvin Camarra just joined it. Well, the Indian Tomlinson not part of that really, milder, 5,000 career receiving yards. All right. So my wide receiver here will be Jerry Rice. That is basically pick your Jerry Rice season. There's plenty of good ones. I went with 1995 Jerry Rice. My head coach is going to be Jeff Fisher for a buck because who cares about your head coach and fantasy football? Wow. Does that really matter? Wow. And then my title is Travis Kelsey for four bucks. That Travis Kelsey season was 2020. All right. So that's a 500 team because of your head coach. That's a lock. We know that. Wow. So good. I spent six 10 bucks. He used one of Mike's roll over dollars. I apologize for that. Well, you can flip Antonio Brown there for 2015. Yeah. You just fire Jeff Fisher's gone. You don't need a coach. All right. Guys, here's what I'm going to do. Okay. Two dollars. Come on. It's Tom Brady 2007. That's the obvious answer. At running back, you guys are right, but also wrong. Okay. I don't know what that means. It's 2019 Christian McAfry. He was good that year too. Yeah. He was really good that year. I love Christian McAfry. So I got six dollars that I have spent so far going to go back to going to go back to. I feel so bad for Miles Sanders being on that list. Do this fast because we have a little bit of news. So sorry. Before we're just coming in. All right. Love that. I'm also going to go with Randy Moss 2007. That gives me eight dollars that I have spent. Then I'm going to go with Travis Kelsey, a $4 tight end because we all know how much I love Travis Kelsey guys. I'm taking CMC and Travis Kelsey because I have always been in on those guys. And going with my Randy Andy Reed as my head coach. Yeah. Andy Reed breaking news. This comes courtesy of NFL Networks e and rap report. The giants are releasing running back Naji Harris. Wow. Naji Harris had some interesting comments after the game talking about how difficult it was to get into a rhythm. He also sucked on Sunday. I'm sorry. Yeah. He averaged zero yards in the first half. Wasn't great. Is your instant reaction to this that a four-man committee just becomes a three-man committee or and this is I think the one that for our purposes, we would be most excited about a four-man committee now becomes back to the camp scatabushia. Yeah. First of all, we said a long time ago, don't sweat. Naji Harris being added here too much. And we're seeing why it's really hard to come back from what he's come back from at late in his 20s, which for running back as a is a tough spot. I do think they're going to use three running backs right now. I do think cam scataboo get a shot to be the lead back again. Better be. But I think they're going to use other guys time on Tracy scored two touchdowns last week. He's going to be involved in the single Terry. I'll probably have some passing down work. I think it's be a problem in fantasy. But the best bet to emerge as a fantasy star, I still believe is scataboo. How far? What is ceiling is though? I think it's low. I think it's probably at best mid-range RB two and that's the optimistic side. That doesn't feel in the very short term, in the very short term, not a lot of optimism for any of those running backs. Yep. But just with one less body to worry about. Yeah. By the way, they're not it's not like they're going to I'd say very unlikely to be like, all right, so someone needs a running back. We'll trade Tracy or Singletary like they're in the division. Like they're going to stick with those those three guys for sure. We actually got some really good reporting from Jordan Rennon, other giants, reporters on the morning of the game this past year. So perhaps we'll get a bit more clarity. Maybe John Harbaugh will actually say things out loud. No, I mean, that's urgent. Like you might come out and be like, Hey, listen, we felt like it was important to release Najee. Our plan is not Cam Skatibou gets 18 carries a game. But hey, we have optimism in this player. Let's see what we can do. Maybe the harbours can make a trade of Hampton for Skatibou straight up and change the scenery. Wow. Wow. It's fun to think about. Yes, it is. We'll dive into rankings tomorrow here for week seven guys. Make sure you come back and hang out with us. Don't forget to love each other and be kind to yourself. You deserve it. We love you guys. We'll see you later. Focas. Fencing. Fencing. Focas. Fencing Fencing. Fencing. Fencing. Fencing. Fencing. Fencing.
