Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, November nineteenth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we are
Speaker 1: battling bad food takes. It's me and your man in
Speaker 1: re markt Brand, joined by Michael f Florio and LaQuan Jones.
Speaker 1: Before we started the show for I just want you
Speaker 1: to know that I can crushed several.
Speaker 2: Weeks to year, I was gonna say the bad food
Speaker 2: takes you sent at.
Speaker 1: Me well, or or you Lakwan who was on Blue
Speaker 1: Sky disparaging Wendy's. Wait wait wait I missed this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like wed on Monday, Monday morning, he was
Speaker 1: disparaging Wendy's on Blue Sky. It was a whole thing.
Speaker 3: Man, Listen, I have no issues with Wendy's, like it's edible,
Speaker 3: but the burgers are the only thing keeping it alive.
Speaker 3: Like the fries are soggy now the nuggets aren't the same.
Speaker 3: And like they have they can.
Speaker 1: Say they have the goat chickens say, what do you
Speaker 1: tell these spicy chickens say, which is the go What
Speaker 1: are you doing.
Speaker 4: Double snow?
Speaker 2: I mean of the national burger chains like the big ones,
Speaker 2: Wendy's is by far the best.
Speaker 3: Marcus wants to walk away from the.
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you, I'm just disappointed, that's all.
Speaker 4: So you would say Burger king over Wendy's.
Speaker 3: Uh, they're both on the same level that they're not
Speaker 3: the same art they used to be.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it there. I'ma leave it there. Let's
Speaker 1: let's let's just leave it there before we all just
Speaker 1: you know, end up in a big blow up with
Speaker 1: each other. It's just not gonna work out. We're gonna
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk some more fantasy mailbacks and more of
Speaker 1: your questions. We had some on Monday, we will do
Speaker 1: some again today. Also give you some Waiver Wire deep
Speaker 1: dives and folks who can go back to the Waiver
Speaker 1: Wire as well. But we'll start with out big questions
Speaker 1: for week twelve and Yon And let's let's start in
Speaker 1: Denver where last week everybody was on the audric Estimate
Speaker 1: train and I kept saying, look, man, just beware because
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is gonna pull the rug out from onunderneath us.
Speaker 1: And wasn't it up happening. Sean Payton pulled the rug
Speaker 1: out from underneath us. We go and look at the snaps.
Speaker 1: Estimate played thirteen snaps compared to thirty two for Javonte Williams,
Speaker 1: who ended up having a touchdown. Julia McLoughlin had eight. So, Floria,
Speaker 1: I will start with you, what are we doing with
Speaker 1: Broncos running backs?
Speaker 2: I don't think you can trust them in fantasy? Like,
Speaker 2: I know, Javonte had a good game yesterday, five targets,
Speaker 2: caught the touchdown. But how many times have we seen
Speaker 2: Javonte have a game like this? It's been three now,
Speaker 2: because he's had three good games this year, and then
Speaker 2: it's surrounded by a bunch of like meh and then
Speaker 2: and shout out to you, Marcus. Not only did you
Speaker 2: say that you don't believe the estimate usage from last week,
Speaker 2: you were like, I need to see it two more
Speaker 2: times in a row before I believe it. And you
Speaker 2: were one hundred percent right because his production looks even
Speaker 2: better if you just watched the box score, because at
Speaker 2: halftime this game was a blowout, and I believe he
Speaker 2: had one touch so most of his volume came in
Speaker 2: the second half of a blowout. Like I drafted Javonte
Speaker 2: in a number of teams. I thought maybe he could
Speaker 2: break out. I picked up estimating a couple of leagues
Speaker 2: last week. I just to me, they're like players who
Speaker 2: keep on the end of your bench in case of emergency.
Speaker 4: There's no week I'm gonna go into.
Speaker 2: Like, yes, I feel very confident about starting this guy
Speaker 2: because Sean Payton hates two things. He hates uh NFC
Speaker 2: South teams and he hates fantasy football.
Speaker 1: He really does. I mean, like Lakwan, is it still
Speaker 1: even worth holding onto Estimat? I mean, do we still
Speaker 1: hang on to him or I mean, what do you
Speaker 1: do now?
Speaker 3: Listen, out of my pride, I'm just gonna hold on
Speaker 3: to him, like I'm this is just a pride move
Speaker 3: at this point where it's like, Dude, the first half
Speaker 3: he had three snaps, How is that possible from the
Speaker 3: previous game where he looked like this draft prospect you
Speaker 3: were so happy about, and then you make us out
Speaker 3: to be liars because you hate fantasy football. Like my
Speaker 3: hate towards Arthur Smith is no longer there. I am
Speaker 3: prouder author Smith in the feelers. That offense looks amazing, nag.
Speaker 3: He is having his best year. He's not doing snip
Speaker 3: snap snips now with the with the touches between him
Speaker 3: and Jalen Warren. It's showing Peyton being the most toxic
Speaker 3: person he could possibly be, just getting the point that
Speaker 3: I control this. We're gonna do things my way, and
Speaker 3: I think all your estimate only gets three touches in
Speaker 3: the first half.
Speaker 4: Perfect and Ran.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Arthur Smiths figured out, just get the
Speaker 1: ball to your good players, right.
Speaker 5: I mean he's getting Harris and Warren involved.
Speaker 1: He's getting targets to George Pickens like he is getting
Speaker 1: his good players involved. Meanwhile, I think, I really do
Speaker 1: think Sean Payton is looking for the Denver version of
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill. He just wants that guy that he can
Speaker 1: throw in to just ruin our fantasy lives. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: since he doesn't have that, he's just going to, you know,
Speaker 1: tell us children's stories about rodric Estimate and his usage
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. So I don't know, LaQuan.
Speaker 1: Is the Chargers passing game a thing now?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: I mean, coming out of that buy, you see Justin
Speaker 3: Herbert and that offense passing the ball a lot more
Speaker 3: than they were in the earlier season. I mean, you
Speaker 3: have guys like Josh Palmer that flashes at points, you know,
Speaker 3: making big plays downfield. And then Quentin Johnson's he's filling
Speaker 3: into where his confidence is at an all time high
Speaker 3: now every single week making the big plays he's playing.
Speaker 3: So Justin Herbert is out there dealing and willing and dealing.
Speaker 3: And then Lab McConkie, Man, I can go on a
Speaker 3: rant of just how good this guy has been. And
Speaker 3: you look at last week's game and he's kind of
Speaker 3: shown up in big moments in that second half. There
Speaker 3: was nothing going on in that Chargers offense, and you
Speaker 3: look at Lab McConkey as the only guy that have
Speaker 3: over twenty receiving yards. I mean, he went out there
Speaker 3: and put the team on his back. So it's like
Speaker 3: Lab McConkie is the staple, is a wide receiver, one
Speaker 3: that we kind of figured that he was going to
Speaker 3: be coming into this season.
Speaker 1: No, he's been fantastic. And then you were talking before
Speaker 1: the show, Florie about Will Disley is a very quietly
Speaker 1: becoming a thing in this offense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in three of his last four games he has
Speaker 2: at least six targets.
Speaker 4: He caught a touchdown yesterday.
Speaker 2: I know in week ten, I haven't seen the numbers
Speaker 2: for Week eleven, yet he had the third highest first
Speaker 2: read rate in the NFL in Week ten, So like
Speaker 2: he is a bit he is the go to tight
Speaker 2: end here. I agree with everything Lakwan said. I love
Speaker 2: Lad McConkie, loved him in the NFL draft, all of that.
Speaker 2: Quentin Johnson continues to score touchdowns despite everything all the
Speaker 2: haters on Twitter say and everything like that. But Disley
Speaker 2: I think is under the radar at tight end, someone
Speaker 2: you could pick up and someone that I think you
Speaker 2: can use in fantasy moving forward.
Speaker 4: Like Justin Herbert is bawling out right now and probably
Speaker 4: deserves a little. He's not gonna win it, but he deserves.
Speaker 6: To at least be in the MVP conversation, I would say,
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just it's interesting because Greg Roman and
Speaker 6: Jim Harbaugh have opened up the offense, where the first
Speaker 6: few weeks of the season we weren't seeing him throw.
Speaker 1: The ball a whole lot, but basically since about Week
Speaker 1: four or five, things have opened up. I mean, he
Speaker 1: was under two hundred yards the first four games of
Speaker 1: the season. He has been over two hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: yards in every game but one since. And also he
Speaker 1: has just one interception all year long, thirteen touchdowns, just
Speaker 1: one interception, and starting to use his legs a little
Speaker 1: bit more so. Justin Herbert really the catalyst there. But
Speaker 1: you mentioned Lad mcconkeye, Quinton Johnston doing things well, Disley
Speaker 1: getting involved, So now suddenly we can start to buy
Speaker 1: in to this passing game some more. Florio, I was
Speaker 1: gonna ask, are we in on JSN? But look, he's
Speaker 1: had over one hundred yards in back to back games.
Speaker 1: The question, I guess should be is this sustainable for
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jagbo?
Speaker 2: I think so because yeah, and the first his last
Speaker 2: two games twenty four targets, seventeen catches, two hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety yards, two touchdowns, like as elite.
Speaker 4: That's like elite production. But what really stands out to me.
Speaker 2: He did it yesterday with DK metcalf back and Tyler
Speaker 2: Lockett is just an afterthought right now in this system.
Speaker 2: It is clearly DK and JAYSN. And even more than
Speaker 2: just the volume was when he was getting the volume,
Speaker 2: like a lot of big plays for the Seahawks down
Speaker 2: the stretch went to js and even beyond just these
Speaker 2: two games in the stretch prior to that, he showed
Speaker 2: us to have a be like more of a safe
Speaker 2: floor option. Now we're seeing the upside that becomes a
Speaker 2: like when a player has a safe floor and a
Speaker 2: high ceiling, there must start fantasy options. So I'm not
Speaker 2: saying Jsen is a must start every single week, but
Speaker 2: he's quickly getting to that point.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, we all loved him coming out of college.
Speaker 1: Last year with Shane Waldron, it didn't quite work out,
Speaker 1: and then of course famously he was asked what the
Speaker 1: Bears fan should expect about Shane Waldron and he had
Speaker 1: a really long, awkward pause. He was right and apparently yeah,
Speaker 1: but now he is thriving in that Seattle offense. We're
Speaker 1: certainly very excited about that.
Speaker 5: Side.
Speaker 1: It to the mailbag because we had some questions from
Speaker 1: you guys on Monday, getting some more here on the
Speaker 1: Tuesday show, and the first one from Michael Lancaster lakwan
Speaker 1: he wants to know will Tyreek Hill play like a
Speaker 1: wide receiver one or actually like a number one receiver
Speaker 1: whatever semantics? Well, you played like at number one wide
Speaker 1: receiver in the playoffs. That's what I'm asking you here.
Speaker 3: Uh listen, man, you got the Jets Texans forty nine
Speaker 3: ers and the Browns and the Fantasy playoffs. Honestly, I
Speaker 3: think he could show up as a wide receiver one
Speaker 3: against the Jets because this Jets team is basically lowan morale,
Speaker 3: So you're good in that first round. But when you
Speaker 3: get to the Texans, man, I think a lot of
Speaker 3: people are sleeping on this Texan secondary.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: They are a tough pass defense, and they can make
Speaker 3: the plays, and they can also get pressure on Tua,
Speaker 3: and we know when Tua's getting into that pocket, some
Speaker 3: of the decision making gets questionable, so that may be,
Speaker 3: you know, one of the situations where Tua drops it
Speaker 3: down to Johnny Smith or devon a Channon Moster, it
Speaker 3: doesn't really get to Tyreek Kilser, You're going to be
Speaker 3: dependent on Tyreek making these big, flashy plays out of
Speaker 3: nowhere on a more consistent basis through these playoffs with
Speaker 3: this tough matchup, I'm not quite sure I can stamp
Speaker 3: in and say Strawberry approved, he is going to be
Speaker 3: a wide receiver one for the Fantasy playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I feel like it's not even about
Speaker 1: matchups anymore. It's just about the way the offense is
Speaker 1: sort of operating where it's not a big play explosive offense.
Speaker 1: Because you mentioned the Jets, I mean, I would say
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers right now look like a more
Speaker 1: favorable matchup because the secondary has been having issues and
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see Nick Bosa was injured. It didn't
Speaker 1: really play much in the second half of that game,
Speaker 1: you know, So if they don't have much of a
Speaker 1: pass rush, potentially there's something there. But I just don't
Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence in the offense overall right
Speaker 1: now in Miami. Speaking of the forty nine ers, Floryda
Speaker 1: this one from Charlie who wants to know should I
Speaker 1: drop Deebo and trust Juwan?
Speaker 4: No to the first part, one hundred percent yes.
Speaker 2: To the second part, Juwan Jennings is a must start
Speaker 2: fantasy wide receiver the rest of the way in the
Speaker 2: last two games led them in the receivers in every category, snaps, targets, catches, touchdowns,
Speaker 2: all of that.
Speaker 4: He is playing the Brandon Nyuk role.
Speaker 2: And this is what we saw last week last season,
Speaker 2: I mean out of Brandon Nyuk, and this is what
Speaker 2: we had for this season out of Brandon Ayuk. But
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that Deebo Samuel should be dropped. Like
Speaker 2: I understand his recent stretch the last three weeks isn't
Speaker 2: his best.
Speaker 4: It's been a lot of floor games, but the upside.
Speaker 5: Is still sky high.
Speaker 4: He is still tied to.
Speaker 2: A very good offense, and he is still Deebo Samuel,
Speaker 2: like he is going to have good games.
Speaker 4: So maybe he's.
Speaker 2: I think we need to view Debo kind of how
Speaker 2: we did last year, Like he might not be the elite,
Speaker 2: like you start him no matter what, no questions ask
Speaker 2: wide receiver, but you're definitely better with him on your
Speaker 2: roster than on someone else's.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, I mean I don't think you can just
Speaker 5: move on from him.
Speaker 1: But what Deebo has given you this year is what
Speaker 1: I kind of expected. Like he is the variance is
Speaker 1: very wide. The range of outcomes on a weekly basis
Speaker 1: with Deebo is very wide. What he does for the
Speaker 1: offense on the field a lot of times is great.
Speaker 1: It doesn't always translate to fantasy and I think you've
Speaker 1: seen that the last couple of weeks with Deebo Samuel.
Speaker 1: But you can't move on from him because you know,
Speaker 1: any weeks can go off for one hundred yards in
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Understand. Also the rushing ability, it's great, it's
Speaker 1: not necessarily gonna be there like it was a few
Speaker 1: years ago. I mean that was the reason they got
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey because they needed running backs.
Speaker 5: They need somebody run the football not named Deebo Samuel.
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't drop him. But if you can
Speaker 1: get Juwan Jennings, then get Jawan Jennings.
Speaker 2: Kudos because you were on Juwan Jennings more than before
Speaker 2: anyone really like, so good call on.
Speaker 3: Your homer, Homer.
Speaker 5: I mean, I might be a homer, but it worked
Speaker 5: out right.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we're not out here trying to
Speaker 1: make Jordan Whittington a thing. You know, That's what's different.
Speaker 5: Shot a desired.
Speaker 7: I'm just saying, that's the most hurtful shot that I've
Speaker 7: ever gotten defending his team. Jesus, I'm hungry take a
Speaker 7: shot to debo, Like, what do you want me to do?
Speaker 7: I'm gonna take a quick break right back with more
Speaker 7: of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1: Back here on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. All right,
Speaker 1: look on this this one. This one is for you
Speaker 1: from uh from Brian Jenkins wants to know I have
Speaker 1: the Texans defense. Should I get the Cardinals or Bengals
Speaker 1: for the bye week in fantasy playoffs?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: Cardinals or Bengals. Well, if you're in the DST position,
Speaker 3: you're looking for sack production more so looking for upside
Speaker 3: to build on those ten points. And I really like
Speaker 3: the Texans being that you have the security floor of
Speaker 3: that they're not gonna be a defense that is gonna
Speaker 3: give up a ton of points. They're gonna have the
Speaker 3: upside of takeaways. Also with the pass rush show, I
Speaker 3: might be leaning towards more so with the Texans over
Speaker 3: the Cardinals because honestly, this little last burst of the
Speaker 3: Cardinals defense showing up in DST, it's very inconsistent and
Speaker 3: I cannot trust that, you know, when it comes to
Speaker 3: the Fantasy playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Bengals, they give a lot of points.
Speaker 1: So if you if you take a hit based on like,
Speaker 1: you know, points given up, then you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you do that necessarily, but I do think,
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of didn't get after the quarterback
Speaker 1: forcing turnovers, maybe that's a little bit of a better situation,
Speaker 1: uh than the Cardinals. But yeah, and here's the thing.
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily have to commit to one for the
Speaker 1: entirety of the season either. You can sort of you know,
Speaker 1: stream and go back and forth if you really need to.
Speaker 3: I'll take one chance with the bangles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there it is. Let's dive into the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: Let's deep dive into the waiver wire. And uh, LaQuan,
Speaker 1: you're you're really just setting yourself up to dye your
Speaker 1: hair with this, Like why are you Why is this
Speaker 1: your deep dive waiver wire? Guys?
Speaker 4: Why did you Guys?
Speaker 3: Let me make that deal about John new Smith being
Speaker 3: a top five tight end. I mean, at the time,
Speaker 3: it is, but that's just me putting it in the
Speaker 3: universe of believing in the talent man, because honestly, you
Speaker 3: have to go get him. I don't understand why he's
Speaker 3: still in the waiver wire. Since week nine. He's leading
Speaker 3: the Dolphins with Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle playing and
Speaker 3: receiving yards and that's obviously showing that he could be
Speaker 3: a big play playmaker. And in early Innerseeason, what I
Speaker 3: was saying was is like, this is a tight end
Speaker 3: that Mike McDaniel has never had, Like this is the
Speaker 3: prototype of what he wants. He is a speed demon
Speaker 3: trying to collect all the speedstones and johnnah Smith ficks
Speaker 3: that bill. I mean, since week five he's been a
Speaker 3: tight end six and I can only see this increasing
Speaker 3: being that he's getting up there in the momentum and
Speaker 3: he's getting up there and snaps as well being more
Speaker 3: of a focal point in this offense. And like I
Speaker 3: said before, he's coming to be the security blanket for Tuas.
Speaker 3: So yeah, he's highly available on the waiver wire for you,
Speaker 3: and he's a possible league winner here that we're looking at.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been he's been really really good so
Speaker 1: far this season. It should be rostered more than he
Speaker 1: currently is. Floria, who's your waiver wire deep dive for
Speaker 1: the week.
Speaker 2: Let's get deep the Raiders running backs speakause it's yeah,
Speaker 2: it's gross, but it goes two ways.
Speaker 4: Like one.
Speaker 2: Alexander Madison left last week due to injury, so if
Speaker 2: he is hurt, I would imagine Zamir White is the
Speaker 2: lead runner next week and a mir Abdula takes over
Speaker 2: passing downs yet don't want to start them. But six
Speaker 2: teams are on by next week and running back has
Speaker 2: not provided a whole bunch of options off the waiver
Speaker 2: wire for weeks now, so you could be in a
Speaker 2: pinch where you need to replace again, one of the
Speaker 2: many running backs that are on by if you could
Speaker 2: pick up like a Zamir White or a Mere Abdulah,
Speaker 2: that might be Look, it's gonna.
Speaker 4: Be gross, but it might be a way you can
Speaker 4: do so.
Speaker 2: But even more than that, they have the best playoffs
Speaker 2: schedule for running backs. Like they get the they open
Speaker 2: up against the Falcons, who we just saw yesterday they
Speaker 2: were annihilated by the Broncos. Then they get the Jaguars
Speaker 2: and the Saints, who we know you can run all
Speaker 2: over those teams. So like, if someone like Alexander Madison,
Speaker 2: let's say, is back and gets all like the bulk
Speaker 2: of volume by then he could be a sneaky like
Speaker 2: flex option or something that helps teams win in the
Speaker 2: fantasy playoffs. I feel gross saying it, but the schedule
Speaker 2: allows that.
Speaker 5: Ah yeah, I mean we've all right.
Speaker 1: When you're starting a running back, you're like, I just
Speaker 1: need you to maybe fall into the end zone and
Speaker 1: just sort of make it worth while. And kind I
Speaker 1: think where we are with raiders running backs, I'm going
Speaker 1: with Marquez Valdez Scantling as a deep dive option because
Speaker 1: it's it's a couple of weeks in a row now
Speaker 1: that he's had some decent yardage and a touchdown. He's
Speaker 1: a big play guy. I think you mentioned this on
Speaker 1: Monday Show Florio that he's sort of taking over where
Speaker 1: Rashid sha He left off now that he's on injured reserve.
Speaker 1: Just that guy who can sort of take the top
Speaker 1: off a defense. It is wild that in his career
Speaker 1: he has played with Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: Yet somehow Derek Carr seems to be the guy that
Speaker 1: has unlocked him to be a productive wide receiver. Like,
Speaker 1: I can't figure that out, but this is where we
Speaker 1: are right now. Again, He's he is a boom er
Speaker 1: bust option. He is the quintessential veteran best ball guy.
Speaker 1: But if you are looking for a flex option in
Speaker 1: a pinch, Marquez Valdez Scantling is a guy who seems
Speaker 1: to be getting targets and big situations. He even seems
Speaker 1: to be somewhat Taysom hillproof, just because yeah, we're not
Speaker 1: seeing them run vertical routes with Taysom Hill just yet,
Speaker 1: So yes, yes, that's two weeks that it is two
Speaker 1: weeks away right for now, MVS. He's being ouest now
Speaker 1: mind you, they are on a bye this week, so
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. But this is definitely something like
Speaker 1: a little more forward looking. You can get MVS into
Speaker 1: your fantasy lineup. So if you are adding guys, of course,
Speaker 1: that means you probably are dropping somebody as well.
Speaker 5: Who are we saying goodbye to Lakwan?
Speaker 3: I am done with the how do I say de
Speaker 3: Deontae Johnson storyline? I think more so, we're not really
Speaker 3: going to see him activated for the fantasy season. I
Speaker 3: think the Ravens might be holding on to him to
Speaker 3: show up in the playoffs, to be the secret X weapon,
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. But the dude ran six
Speaker 3: routes you know last week. That's not anything showing any
Speaker 3: signs of production or any signs of life that he's
Speaker 3: going to be on the field to be so dynamic.
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, since he got there, his just snaps
Speaker 3: have just been decreasing decreasing, So I'm not too sure
Speaker 3: or if it's worth holding on, you know, onto the
Speaker 3: fantasy bench row, So you might as well be getting
Speaker 3: them on the wire and get some guys in that
Speaker 3: can actually help you leading to the Fantasy playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw a lot of chatter about Deontay Johnson
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and folks just just sort of, you know,
Speaker 1: throwing their hands up in there, not sure what to
Speaker 1: do because he can't get on the field, he can't
Speaker 1: get targets. He's really just not an entity in the
Speaker 1: Baltimore offense at all. So we we haven't been sure
Speaker 1: about Packers wide receivers, but Florida, I think it seems
Speaker 1: like you're done with one of them at least.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, Lakwan's drop really hurt me, and I didn't want to.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I was struggling to find someone that, Like I was
Speaker 2: looking at all my rosters, and I realized I have
Speaker 2: been stashing Doan Tavian Wicks in a lot of teams
Speaker 2: because I kind of view him as the top wide
Speaker 2: receiver handcuff, like if anything happens to the top three
Speaker 2: guys of the Packers, he could slide in and be
Speaker 2: a really useful wide receiver. But like he only played
Speaker 2: thirty percent of the snaps yesterday, Christian Watson had his
Speaker 2: best game since final game of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 4: We know Jayden Reid.
Speaker 2: Is the slot guy and he has a Jordan Love's attention.
Speaker 2: We know Romeo Dobbs is going to play a bunch
Speaker 2: of snaps and also has a lot of chemistry with
Speaker 2: Jordan Loves. So it's just not happening for Dontavian Wicks.
Speaker 2: I feel like the only place you should roster him
Speaker 2: is kind of, like I said, like if you're holding him.
Speaker 4: As a handcuff.
Speaker 2: But even that has to be in deep leagues because
Speaker 2: in like a regular twelve team league, Yeah, I'd rather
Speaker 2: have MVS on my roster or a number of these
Speaker 2: other players that we have discussed. So unless you're in
Speaker 2: a league where the waiver wire is really really thin,
Speaker 2: I think you just wash your hands and say, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna be done with dan Tavian Wicks right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we've sort of figured out the pecking
Speaker 1: order for the Packers wide receivers, and Wicks right now,
Speaker 1: barring an injury, is just not really involved.
Speaker 4: Yours is spicy.
Speaker 1: It is spicy, and look, maybe it's not for everybody,
Speaker 1: but for a lot of people, it just might be
Speaker 1: time to say goodbye. To uh Jalen Wattle. It just
Speaker 1: it has not worked out with Jalen Wattle so far
Speaker 1: this year. And we were hoping that once to a
Speaker 1: tongue of Ioloa came back, that maybe it would get
Speaker 1: a little bit better. But saw something on Blue Sky
Speaker 1: from Hutchinson Brown, who's a lot of fun to follow,
Speaker 1: really good guy. He put a list together of the
Speaker 1: wide receivers averaging more PPR Fantasy points per game than
Speaker 1: Jalen Wattle, right, and you know some of them are,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe not a key On Coleman, not really
Speaker 1: a big surprise, you know, Gus Tyler Lockett, you could
Speaker 1: sort of buy that, Michael Pittman, sure, DeAndre Hopkins. But
Speaker 1: some of these names are kind of like what Devon Veale, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, imagine, I look, I look. I admit it's
Speaker 1: a small sample size, but averaging Xavier Legette, Adam Feelen,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, Ricky Pearsall hadn't played that many games,
Speaker 1: but he has more, uh, Jalen Tobert. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: just some names here that are out performing Jalen Wattle
Speaker 1: that we wouldn't have anticipated at the start of the year.
Speaker 1: It has not been good. The schedule isn't necessarily great.
Speaker 1: Down the stretch, maybe something happens and there's an explosion
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, But at this point this sort of
Speaker 1: looks like this offense is just kind of is what
Speaker 1: it is like. I don't think it gets much better.
Speaker 1: And with John new Smith playing well, with Tyreek Hill
Speaker 1: still there, even seeing more targets for Odell Beckham Junior
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks, it just doesn't feel
Speaker 1: like there's an opportunity for Jalen Wattle to pay off
Speaker 1: that that ADP. So, yeah, maybe you're in a deeper
Speaker 1: league and you just can't afford to part ways with him,
Speaker 1: But if you're in a shallow league, I think certainly
Speaker 1: less than teen team ten teams, but maybe even ten
Speaker 1: team leagues, you could probably move on from Jalen Wattle
Speaker 1: at this point. Didn't think we'd be saying that at
Speaker 1: the start of the year. And again I set up
Speaker 1: the show to end on a downer. I'm not really
Speaker 1: good at this. These are things that I'm not that
Speaker 1: I'm not doing well about. Will I will try to
Speaker 1: get better, But anyway, that's a good spot for us
Speaker 1: to end it for this week. That'll do it for
Speaker 1: this should the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. They happy, safe
Speaker 1: and healthy, do good and live well. Trying to get
Speaker 1: over this. Jaylen waddle down, everybody, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you again tomorrow
