WEBVTT - NFL Fantasy Football Podcast: Week 5 Waiver Wire Targets + Listener Questions

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, October third, twenty twenty three. Welcome

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your Man, MG,

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Grant joined by Michael f.

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Florio. We got a fun one today, folks.

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>We are hitting up the fan mail bag to answer

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>some of your biggest questions after Week four, and our

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>palm Mattlecatta is gonna drop by with his top waiver

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>wire targets. But let's get going with some of your questions.

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>This one coming from Charlie, who asks should I trade

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Chris o'lave.

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feel like I know the answer to that,

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 2>but you go ahead.

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 3>I would say no, like right now, I feel like

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 3>you're trading him at a low point.

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 4>And then you look at the game he had this

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 4>past week.

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 3>I know he didn't put up big numbers or anything

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 3>like that, but he had been seeing big volume previously.

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 3>The big days are coming right now out Yesterday was

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 3>more about Derek Carr than anything.

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's surprising that the Saints really went with Carr.

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if they're gonna go to reevaluate that because

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>he just didn't look good at all. This one coming

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>from ZD Boy, who wants to know how am I

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>supposed to feel about Jayleen Waddle. The Dolphins offense is

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>on fire, but Wattle consistently seems like the odd man out.

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh what are you thinking about that one?

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 3>He did have a touchdown called back due to penalty yesterday.

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 3>And I know the targets aren't all that high right now,

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 3>but they weren't all that high last year either. He

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 3>was averaging less than seven targets per game. Tyreek is

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:33.559
<v Speaker 3>the vacuum there.

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 4>Wattle.

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he is not going to be a wide receiver

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 3>one this season, but he's still far too good, I think,

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.680
<v Speaker 3>and brings too much upside that you gotta start him

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 3>each week.

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Because the ceiling is so high, right and like right now,

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the floor has been very low.

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I get that part, but the ceiling is so high.

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>It is a little concerning though, if you've got Jaalen Wattle,

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>when you see Braxton Barrios and River Craidcraft and those

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>guys started getting involved in the offense, because that does

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>take away from Waddle. As you mentioned, Tyreek Hill's going

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>to be the guy. I would try to hold the

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>fort with him. But if you're getting a little bit nervous,

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>put him out there in some trade offers, see maybe

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>what you can get. A question from Gunner what to

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>do with DJ Moore At this point, this feels kind

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of like a sell high maybe opportunity.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 3>You either sell high or you keep starting him. Like

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 3>he's been at least thirteen Fantasy points in three straight,

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 3>giving you nineteen Fantasy points per game in that span,

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 3>and he's on pace for a career high in yards

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 3>and touchdowns right now. Like if you don't believe it,

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 3>try to sell high. But there's nothing, no benching or

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 3>anything like that when it comes to Djmore.

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the other part of it is there really

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>no other receivers that you can count on to take targets.

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe cole Comet gets some work, but look, the Bears

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>told Chase Claypool to stay home. I mean that's what

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it is right now in their wide receiver room. So,

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>like Florio said, either you hold on him and you

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>keep playing him, or you try to sell high and

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.679
<v Speaker 1>see what you can get. One last one, this one

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>from Deshaun Djecks roster won long term tank dell or

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Nico Collins, oh textan on Texan violence.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.119
<v Speaker 3>Here, it's Nico Collins for me who has been had

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 3>three really nice games, two huge games. But this is

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 3>just kind of a lesson at wide receivers, Like both

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 3>of those two are in play each week. Variants is

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna make it where like one of them can have

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 3>a big game, but the ceiling is too high, I think,

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 3>and they pass way too much for me to want

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 3>to get away from both of them.

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Nico Collins for me, is the number one wide

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>receiver there in Houston. So he's the guy that I

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>would roster long term. But I don't think you can

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>go wrong with either of them, because as Mike said,

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.519
<v Speaker 1>there is going to be week to week, there's gonna

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>be Collins weeks, there's gonna be Dell weeks. There might

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>even be a Robert Woods week thrown in there at

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>some point. But uh, Nico Collins is the wide receiver

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>one for my money there in Houston. Looking at some

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>guys maybe who aren't top of your list but maybe

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>should be coming up, we have to buys starting in

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>week five, so we'll take a break. Come back, we'll

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>talk some waiver wire with our pal Matt o'cada. That's

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 1>after the break on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Let's

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>get some The top waiver wire targets for this week

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>are pal Matt o'catas put together a list four week five.

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>A couple of quarterbacks, actually a quintet of quarterbacks.

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 4>CJ.

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Stroud, who's slinging it for the Texans, Sam Holl doing

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>big things for the Commanders, Josh Dobbs playing really good

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>football right now for the Cardinals, Zach Wilson coming off

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 1>a surprising performance against the Chiefs on Sunday night, and

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Heineke, who very well might be taking over the

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>starting job for the Falcons. Some running backs to note,

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Chuba Hubbard in Carolina, Jalil McLaughlin with Javonte Williams a

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit banged up in Denver, and Melvin Gordon who

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>got a target which blew me away for the Ravens.

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Pass catchers Adam Feeland, Romeo Dobbs, Michael Wilson, the rookie

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.799
<v Speaker 1>for the Cardinals, Josh Palmer, Quinton Johnston still in play

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.039
<v Speaker 1>for the Chargers of they do have a bye, keep

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>that in mind. Curtis Samuel had a touchdown for the Commanders.

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Boyd steps up with t Higgins banged up, John

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>news Smith.

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Right now the number one tight end in Atlanta.

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Let's pour some out for Kyle Pitts, Jake Ferguson doing

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>good things in Dallas, and Cole Comet a couple of

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns for the Bears. This is a chance for us

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 1>to welcome in the man who puts together our waiver

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>wire list every week.

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 2>It's Matt o'conna.

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>You can check out his column at NFL dot com

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>slash Waiver Wire.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 2>So we got five teams on a bye this.

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Week, Matt, we got the Browns, the Chargers, the Seahawks,

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and the Buccaneers. You were very high on some quarterbacks,

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>including a rookie down there in Houston.

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 2>What do you like about CJ. Stroud?

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this feels like a big quarterback week, honestly, with

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 5>a couple of good ones on Bie, a couple of

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 5>performing some injury stuff. CJ. Stroud is the number one

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 5>go to for me. He is already right now a

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 5>top ten fantasy quarterback through not only the first four

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 5>weeks of the season, but the first four weeks of

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 5>his career. Two hundred and eighty plus yards and two

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.559
<v Speaker 5>touchdowns in three straight games, and that includes this week

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 5>against the Steelers, who we all know are very good defense.

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 5>Next three weeks are the Falcons Saints, which are both

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 5>good defenses as well, and a week seven by And

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't care if you have an elite qb Ad Stroud,

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 5>so your league mates can't have him. If you don't

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 5>have an elite QB. Stroud is your new starter. He's

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 5>lighting up the league. He is quite possibly already the

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 5>lock for offensive Rookie of the Year at this rate.

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 5>And I'm willing to run him out there, match up

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 5>agnostic against anyone. In fact, I wanted to play a

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 5>name game with you guys. If you're down really quick,

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 5>would you drop these guys to add CJ. Strout, Dak Prescott?

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh yeah though yeah, Trevor Lawrence, Yes, I would

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>want both.

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I'd be willing to drop him yet.

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 5>Okay, but it's fringe.

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Here's fringe.

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 5>Here's the big one. You're one and three or zero

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 5>to four and you have Joe Burrow. Do you drop

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 5>him for C J.

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Stroud. I'd be too scared.

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Like I understand the logic, I would just be too

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>scared to make that move.

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I would one.

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 4>Hundred percent start him.

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 3>I would not be dropping Joe Burrow though, okay, but

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 3>I would start Stroud.

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 5>I I'm personally in my article recommend dropping Burrow if

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 5>you're in a bad spot, if if, if you, if

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 5>you can hold him, hold him. But Shroud is playing great,

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 5>and I don't know what's going on with Burrow.

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 2>I understand the logic. I just I'm chicken, that's all.

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>That's just me.

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 3>You have another quarterback here who coming into the year

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I said was going to be a value for as

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 3>long as he could start, and then he wasn't able

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 3>to get the ball to Terry and Dotson, and yesterday

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 3>I was calling for his job, and then he went

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 3>out and performed great and we finally saw him running

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 3>the ball as well. So what about Sam how How

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 3>do you feel about him moving forward?

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 5>I really like Sam Howe, at least as a stream starter.

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 5>And by the way, let her just be known. Terry

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 5>mclaurin's touchdown was barely a Terry McLaurin touchdown, and it

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 5>was because someone fumbled the ball and he picked it up.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 5>So you still have to see how get McLaurin into

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 5>the end zone properly. But he had another Star Wars

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 5>the week again, despite throwing only one passing touchdown, so

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.119
<v Speaker 5>the second time he's done that, and it was again

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 5>on the merits of his rushing ability, which he pointed

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 5>out he had a rushing touchdown in Week one. He

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 5>had forty yards this past week and almost beat the

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 5>Eagles doing it. And he also topped twenty fantasy points

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 5>just with his arm in Week two and was against

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 5>the Roncos defense. I could throw twenty fantasy points again,

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 5>but it's fine. The point is he is a very

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 5>solid streamer in the right matchups, like Week five against

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 5>the Bears, who are not very good. Fourth most passing

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 5>yards allowed through the first month of the season. If

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 5>you have Herbert, Gino, Deshaun all of whom are on

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 5>buy and like we hit on, if you have Burrow,

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 5>who you have to bench right now. I love Howell

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 5>was a stream and he's on TNF this week.

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I believe he is Bears and Commanders on Thursday Night Football,

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>so we get to see him in prime time.

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Everybody gets to watch Sam Howe.

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Wide receivers, Adam Feelin for years has been stiff farming

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>the idea of regression. We keep saying he's gonna regress,

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>and then he scores like a bunch of touchdowns, and

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>this year were like fan Adam Feeling, and right now

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 1>he's a top ten Fantasy wide receivers.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's time to buy in to Adam Feeling.

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 5>Right Yeah, in an odd way, he kind of feels

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 5>like a very poor man's wide receiver version of CMC.

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 5>We seem to try to find a reason not to

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 5>make CMC the number one overall pick, and then every

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 5>year he proves that he should be. Feelan he's just

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 5>old reliable at this point with the emphasis on old

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 5>now admittedly, but he scored fifteen plus PPR Fantasy points

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 5>in three straight weeks. He's a top ten wide receiver

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 5>on the season, and then includes a dud in Week

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 5>one that he's left in the dust. Seven catches seventy

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 5>six yards from Bryce Young on Sunday, and I think

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 5>he learned from watching Andy Dalton the week prior. Dalton

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 5>pepperd thelin It was a great showing for both of them,

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 5>and Bryce, who missed that game, came back did the

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 5>same thing. Dealing had another great week. Volume is king

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.200
<v Speaker 5>in fantasy even on terrible offenses like Carolina's, and thelan

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 5>is currently on pace for one hundred and forty targets

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 5>this season. That is what you want with especially in PPR,

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 5>with your wide receiver. And let's be clear, there's not

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:19.319
<v Speaker 5>a super exciting ceiling, but it doesn't really necessarily matter

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 5>when you're in near lock for double digit fantasy points

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 5>and especially with the bye week starting to hit. Deelon

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 5>is a permanent flex option as far as I'm concerned,

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.439
<v Speaker 5>and becomes a pluggable wide receiver too, when your guys

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 5>are on by you can rely on thelan throw him

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 5>in there.

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 4>Completely agree.

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 3>And then another wide receiver that I've been hyping up

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 3>a bit since before the NFL Draft is Michael Wilson,

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 3>and I am very excited to see him now getting

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 3>some love.

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 4>Not only did he catch the two touchdowns yesterday, but

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 4>he's been more and more involved in this Cardinals passing attack.

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 4>So what do you think about Michael Wilson.

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he has been And the hype was late on

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 5>Michael Wilson, which is why PROP most of our listeners

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 5>probably don't know his name. He's a third round pick

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 5>out of Stanford, prototypical size six two, two hundred and thirteen pounds,

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 5>and then he had a lot of competitiveness, and he

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 5>had a very impressive Senior Bowl and both those things

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 5>quote unquote Rocket had hit him up draft boards all

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 5>the way to the third round after he had a

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.599
<v Speaker 5>slew of injuries in his college career kind of derailed

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 5>what could have been maybe higher draft stock otherwise. But

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 5>like you said, he's flashed a little bit already over

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 5>the first few weeks before really breaking out on Sunday.

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 5>Seven catches, seventy six yards a pair of touchdowns against

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 5>the forty nine ers defense, So we can believe it

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 5>to some degree. And I think his biggest asset, no

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 5>pun intended, is his size. Because your other go to

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 5>guys there are Marquise Brown and ron Dale Moore. Those

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.719
<v Speaker 5>guys are not big possession options. They're not great red

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 5>zone threats. You do have Zach Ertz down near the

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 5>red zone. But I think Michael Wilson is stepping up

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.319
<v Speaker 5>to a point where he's going to be maybe that

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.199
<v Speaker 5>guy and might end up leading this team in every

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 5>category going forward. And with Joshua Dobbs playing as well

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 5>as he is and maybe kind of returning at some point,

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 5>I think Wilson could be the biggest surprise of this

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 5>draft class and a very valuable fantasy outset moving forward.

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 2>One more surprise, because the Cardinals have been a surprise

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 2>through the first four weeks of the season with how

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>well they have played. The record doesn't show it, but

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 2>they've played some really good football so far this season.

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 1>It seems like the Cowboys just keep turning over the

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 1>tight end position, but they keep finding guys who perform.

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess Jake Ferguson is next in line.

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 2>There, huh.

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 5>I think so. He kind of first showed up in

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 5>the offense with a touchdown in Week two, and I

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 5>remember writing in the column, listen, guys, he scored a touchdown.

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 5>What more do you want from tight end? To just

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 5>stash this guy? Since then, he's averaged double digit fantasy

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 5>points per game, top eight among tight ends. He led

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 5>the Cowboys with seven catches on seven targets for seventy

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 5>seven yards. So if you like seven, you should like

0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 5>Jake Ferguson in the Annihilation of the Patriots on Sunday.

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 5>He has a clear rapport with Dak that's just obvious

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.199
<v Speaker 5>on the field, it's obvious in his stat line. It's

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 5>he's very much seems to be the new Dalton Schultz,

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:14.319
<v Speaker 5>and this offense is humming, and a humming offense means

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 5>red zone trips, and red zone trips are good for

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 5>the player who leads the entire NFL with eleven red

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 5>zone targets. He is their go to guy where it

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 5>counts most for tight ends. I think he has a

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 5>very good chance to lead the position in touchdowns over

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 5>the remainder of the year. Obviously, Travis Kelce's always in

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 5>that conversation, but Ferguson is a hot red zone option.

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 5>I think he is a must add, and really at

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 5>this point a must start in like everything, but sixteen

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 5>leagues plus you're gonna throw in some ferglicious team names.

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 5>That's a big game.

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 3>So ad him and another tight end, Cole Comet. He's

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 3>the tight end one right now. In Week four, caught

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 3>two touchdowns, but he had more Fantasy points in Week

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.199
<v Speaker 3>four than the first three weeks combined. Is this just

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Comet going he's the Broncos or do you think that

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 3>he is real moving forward?

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 5>This is a little bit of column an, a little

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.839
<v Speaker 5>bit of column B, but it's more column B. And

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.560
<v Speaker 5>let's be clear, Kamett is not the most widely available player,

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 5>but he is available in more than forty percent of

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 5>NFL dot Com leagues, which is how we set the

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 5>bar for this for the waiver column for the show

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 5>that makes him eligible and is way too available. This

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 5>guy is the one b really in that offense. He

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:34.479
<v Speaker 5>has one fewer target than DJ Moore and he's produced

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 5>with it, admittedly not super great fantasy production over the

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 5>first three weeks, but we saw the huge game he

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 5>had last week eighty five yards, two touchdowns, twenty eight

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 5>fantasy points, and that rockets him all the way up

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 5>to top three among tight ends over the whole season.

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 5>That's the kind of game he can have, which is

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 5>why he needs to be in your lineup. But even

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 5>when he doesn't put out that kind of production, he's

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 5>going to be a startable tight end, which admittedly isn't great,

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 5>and this really heavily depends on justin fields and his inconsistency.

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 5>Can he be better than he was over the first

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 5>three weeks. I don't think he'll be as good as

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 5>he was against the Broncos because they're the Broncos and

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 5>they might be the worst defense we've ever seen in

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 5>the NFL. But I think he falls somewhere in between

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 5>these two for the rest of season. Guys with this

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 5>kind of target Shaw do not grow on trees. He

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 5>is must roster and start.

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about a guy to stash, and it's in Denver.

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Javonte Williams has a hip flex or. He's sort of

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 1>day to day right now. But Jalil McLaughlin the last

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks has gotten some opportunity and he looked

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 1>pretty good about it.

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this is not the best week for running backs

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 5>on the waiver wire. Devon h Han stole it all

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 5>last week, all the good running back juju, But Jalil

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 5>McLoughlin's feels like the best option. And with Javonte day

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 5>to day, we don't really know where how that's going

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 5>to play out. I expect you might miss a week

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 5>or two. I do think that McLoughlin is a stash.

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 5>I say stash because they play the Jets this week

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 5>and I do not really want to start this guy

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 5>against the Jets. But like you said, he's looked very good.

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 5>He had a great week, one hundred and four scrimmage

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 5>yards and a touchdown on Sunday. He's an undrafted rookie

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 5>who had a very productive college career, but they were

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 5>at lower tier school so didn't get any draft capital.

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 5>We didn't really know what to expect from him. But

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 5>the tape has looked good. The production last week with

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 5>Javonte exiting early looked really good. I think he's worth

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 5>tucking away and maybe even becomes usable if Javonte is

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 5>not fully healthy for a while.

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.200
<v Speaker 4>What about for fantasy defenses?

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 3>Are there any that people who get ahead of right

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 3>now and stream for week five?

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? I have three defenses that I love this week

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 5>that are all very readily available. You have Aiden Hutchinson

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 5>and the Lions who get Bryce Young and the Panthers

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 5>this week. So that's like fifteen sacks and seven interceptions.

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 5>I would guess not quite, but literally, something insane is

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 5>possible with this defense, the way they've been playing, the

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.600
<v Speaker 5>way they've been blowing out teams, and the Panthers have

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 5>been struggling. So love the Lions. Can't believe I'm saying this.

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.680
<v Speaker 5>It's wild. If you had told me I would say

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.400
<v Speaker 5>this in week five, I would have smacked myself. The

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 5>Cardinals are playing the what look like toothless Cincinnati Bengals

0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.919
<v Speaker 5>this Yeah, they are this is just statistics not taped.

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 5>They are the worst scoring and total offense in the league.

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.879
<v Speaker 5>It is it seems heavily Joe Burrow and his calf,

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.720
<v Speaker 5>but it might be more than that. At this point,

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what's going on, but until we see

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:46.400
<v Speaker 5>them fix everything, you can start pretty much any defense

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 5>except maybe the Broncos against this team. So I'm rolling

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 5>the Cardinals out, and then I also really like the

0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 5>Colts in a divisional showdown against Ryan Tannehill and the Titans, who,

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.920
<v Speaker 5>if you have not watched this year, do not look

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.159
<v Speaker 5>good at all. Outside a couple Dereck Henry plays that

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 5>kind of saved a little bit of that offense is future.

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 5>I think they're few and far between at this point,

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 5>and when they're not making those plays, they're getting absolutely

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 5>ran through. So Lions, Cardinals, Colts top three defenses for

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 5>the week.

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.960
