I'm your host, Dan Martinez, the spent Statistician, 11 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: and I've got Samantha Pervidi with me. It's the first 12 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 2: Monday of the NFL season, and that is known as 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: overreaction season to be sure. But Samantha and I are 14 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: going to go through some of the headlines, some of 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: the injuries and let you know who to target on 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: the waiver to go ahead and get the edge of 17 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: everybody in your league. Samantha, I gotta tell you, I'm 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 2: really excited to do this every week so we can 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: get to jump on the wave wire. 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm really excited to do the Waiver Wire episode 21 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: every Monday. You can also catch my content that is 22 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 1: written on the Action network dot com. 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: Absolutely so let's get into it. You know, one of 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 2: the biggest headlines from Week one is obviously the injury 25 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: to Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys. Now we know 26 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: he's gonna be out for a while, so you ain't 27 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: gotta worry about him for fantasy. But to me, the 28 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: interesting question is, what are the implications in your opinion, 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: Samantha on the Cowboys skill players, right, like the Pollards, 30 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: the Zekes, the Dalton Schultzes of the world, and of 31 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: course the wide out group. I mean, it didn't look 32 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: like the Cowboys were doing much work even with Dak. 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: What do you think is the impact for some of 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: the skill position players now that Dak's gonna be gone 35 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: for the better part of a few months. 36 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: Oh god, I'm very concerned. I mean, I was concerned 37 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: about Lamb in that game, and like to your point, 38 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: Dak played most of that game two catches for twenty 39 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: nine yards in a twenty seven percent target share. At 40 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: the same time, makes no sense for a guy that 41 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: we were drafting is probably a top seven wide receiver, 42 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: So I'm very frustrated with him. He ended up as 43 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver seventy one. So like, regardless of the quarterback situation. 44 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: It was already concerned and now it's just like a 45 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: trash fire. So I'm kind of downgrading him into that 46 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: like high end wide receiver two tier. I'm like, that's 47 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: still a little optimistic, given like that stink best, but 48 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: I am convinced that he is like a more talented 49 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: player than that stat line would suggest. Now, Schultz actually 50 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: had a pretty nice day seven catches for sixty two yards, 51 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: had a decent target, chairs ended as tight end. Eight 52 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: tight ends we kind of know are a little more 53 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: immune to bad quarterback play. I mean, we haven't seen 54 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: too too much from Cooper Rush. The game was really tied, 55 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: like you know, pretty much over at that point, but 56 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: I think like Schultz will probably maintain his value for 57 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: the most part. The running backs were not great. I mean, 58 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: so Ezekiel Elliott from the eye test looked a lot 59 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: better than Tony I know, there was a lot of 60 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: conversation about which one better because Pollock did show signs 61 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: of being better than Elliott last season, so it was 62 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 1: kind of up in the air. Like Elliott was being 63 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: drafted as low as I think, like RB twenty in 64 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: some drafts, so he's pretty down there. They both ended 65 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: up kind of having stinky days for fantasy. So I think, 66 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: like Elliott needs to be the guy. They just need 67 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: to feed him a little bit more. Now. I know 68 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: there have been injuries to their offensive line that could 69 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: have impacted the play overall. But I mean, I'm not 70 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: feeling great about either of those guys. I was kind 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: of hoping one would just like distinguish himself, but it's 72 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: like RB forty five and RB fifty six, so not 73 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: that great. 74 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: Can ask you something because I kind of think you 75 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: hear the axiom all the time, right that you know, 76 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: when you get a rookie quarterback or a backup quarterback, 77 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: sometimes they go to the tight end, as that quote 78 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: unquote security blanket. We also were thinking that Dallas is 79 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: going to be downing games now, right. They went from 80 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: you know, a one and a half point favorite already 81 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: now a seven point dog in Week two against the Bengals. 82 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: I wonder if if they're going to be losing games, 83 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: which most people project to be happening, do you think 84 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: maybe we get some you know, garbage time quite frankly, Samantha, 85 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: you know the idea of them being down in games, 86 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: whether it's Cooper Rush or whoever kind of volume throwing 87 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: and maybe even more targets for guys like Lamb and 88 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 2: Shultz and less running touches for guys like Zeke. 89 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, because you know, Lamb had eleven targets 90 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: yesterday and can't do much with them. And garbage time 91 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: with a guy like Cooper Rush versus Janis Winston who 92 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: is used to be the king of garbage time is 93 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: a little different. So, I mean, it's the quality of 94 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: the throes is what I'm talking about. So I mean, 95 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: I maybe that elevates it a little bit just talking 96 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: about gamescript, but I'm pretty concerned about I would say Lamb. 97 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm probably the most concerned about anyone because you had 98 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: to drop a pretty significant draft pick to get him. 99 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: No, obviously, I mean you drafted CD Lamb as you're 100 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: wide out one probably I would say, like in the 101 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: second round of a lot of drafts. But you're still 102 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: starting him, to be correct, right, Samantha, You said he 103 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: felt to like a wide out two, maybe light out 104 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: two three at the very worst. So he's still a start, correct. 105 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: Yes, he's still a start at this point, Like we 106 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: have to kind of tow that very thin line of 107 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: overreacting than also taking this data point, like it would 108 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: be silly to not take into Week one like that 109 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: into consideration at all, but it would also be silly 110 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 1: to replace everything we knew about Cede Lamb and every 111 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: single player previously with that one data point. So it's 112 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: like five pointy percent of the season is over for 113 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. So I mean there's a lot of football. 114 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 2: So we played absolutely, absolutely And so listen, you drafted 115 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: CD Lamb to be a stud for you, and as 116 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: the axidom goes, you always start your studs. Well, Samantha, 117 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: I do want to ask you another kind of thing 118 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: I saw here, And you've been playing fantasy for a 119 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: long time, so have I. I have seen the incredible 120 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: like evolution away from the quote unquote workhorse running back. 121 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 2: It now seems like every single team is by committee. 122 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: You may even have three guys that touched the rock. 123 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: And there were a number of teams going into Week 124 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: one where I thought the breakdown of touches and opportunity 125 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: was going to go one way and it actually went differently, 126 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: you know, I'm talking about all the way back on 127 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: Thursday night, football social media was a blaze with Henderson 128 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: versus cam Akers, but we saw them in some other places. Also, 129 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: people thought Damian Pierce was going to be this rock 130 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: star starter as a rookie for the Houston Texans. It 131 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: happened with my Jets and a number of other teams. 132 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: Were there places where you were surprised with how the 133 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 2: kind of workload was divided in the backfield? 134 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: Sure, I mean there were definitely a lot of surprises. 135 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: I would say with Thursday Night, I did think that 136 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: Henderson was going to have a major role. Now, I 137 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: did not think he was going to outsnap cam makers 138 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: fifty five to twelve, and cam makers would just lay 139 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: an absolute goose egg, which, thank you, that completely torpedoed 140 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: two of my team's great feeling going into Sunday. By 141 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: the way, we might have a big old zero there. 142 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: So I mean that's concerning. But I did know that Acre. 143 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: I did feel like Acres was going to be eased 144 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: a little bit back in despite what he says, like 145 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: players always just want to go, of course, like they're 146 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: always going to say they're healthy, they want to play whatever. 147 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: But I was concerned about him, so I wasn't necessarily 148 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: drafting him super high. The Burke Pierce. Thing is interesting 149 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: because Pierce just got so big so fast. I mean, 150 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: think about his meteoric rise and then it's like and 151 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: I just thought it got so out of him. And 152 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: he went from being drafted as like the RB sixty 153 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: to RB twenty in like the matter of a couple 154 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: of weeks. 155 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: And I get it. 156 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: He had a great pre season. He looked very strong. 157 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: He's a sexy name and everything, but he's a guy 158 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: that never had a major workload at Florida, and you know, 159 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: college production can be pretty indicative of the type of 160 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: role that a guy can handle in the NFL. So 161 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't surprised to see him kind of 162 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: eased into things. I mean, Burke had played thirty more 163 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: steps than Pierce did out touched in nineteen to twelve 164 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: and obviously had the better fantasy day. So I think 165 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: that that's kinda gonna be what it's like until Pierce 166 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: gets to that point. Now that could be Week six, 167 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: that could be at the end of the season. It's 168 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: really just a matter of like, yeah, like they're not 169 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: going to force him to carry the entire load, and 170 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: especially on an offense that is not I don't think 171 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: going to be super, super high scoring. It's it makes 172 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: him a little bit less attractive. Like I've already seen 173 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: people saying that you drop Damian Peers, Right, that's a 174 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: little bit of a reaction. I think he's a bench 175 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: for now, but not start well. 176 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: The overreactions continue here going from week one to week two. 177 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: One other backfield split that I want to ask you 178 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: about because a lot of people don't think this offense 179 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: will necessarily perform the same way did in Week one. 180 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Green Bay Packers. Now going into drafts, 181 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: Aaron Jones was drafted as an RB one. A lot 182 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: of people like the way AJ Dillon was kind of ascending, 183 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: and they thought it was gonna be a kind of 184 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: even time share. What do you think about the backfield 185 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 2: in Green Bay? How do you handle that? And does 186 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: it matter that you expect maybe the Packers to not 187 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: be down by three scores in the lion's share of 188 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: their games like they were to Minnesota. 189 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that game script did not go as 190 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: I now. Yes, we got that late news that the 191 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: Packers OH line would be missing two of their linemen, 192 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: which is a major loss. I mean, they totally flipped 193 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: the line but yeah, I mean I didn't expect the 194 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: Packers to score seven points in the entire game, especially 195 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: knowing that Rogers has been such a Viking killer in 196 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: the past. Like, that's just not how I thought it 197 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: would play out, even without the receivers. Now, if you'd 198 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: ask me, like, which Packer's receiver would I trust it? 199 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: Probably would. 200 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: I would have said aj Dillon, like he's the only one, 201 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: the only path catcher. That I would have been like, yeah, 202 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about him because otherwise it's like 203 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: Week one, Sammy Watkins, who was underbread Funny. 204 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 2: I was asked the same thing and my answer was 205 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: Robert Tunyan also not a wide receiver, you know what 206 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 2: I mean. But I agree. 207 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: Totally, totally. I mean the wide receiver corps leaves a 208 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: little bit to the imagination. Now, I think Dobbs and 209 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: Watson will be fine. It will be the guys that 210 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: you want to roster later on, for sure, but they're 211 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: not starts right now. The whole split it's a little confusing. 212 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: But to your point, like, I think that, but a 213 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: lot of that had to do with gamescript. I think 214 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: like the Packers just like they were just shocked a 215 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: little bit they didn't know how to play that game 216 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: when they were so far behind, they had no weapons, 217 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: So I think it might take a little bit of 218 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: time for them to kind of get back on track. 219 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: But Dylan is a great snag if you got him, 220 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: I mean, how could you resist with those giant quods? 221 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? Really absolutely, I like that from his days in 222 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: Boston College. Talk about Watson listen, Rogers gave him a 223 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: chance on a deep ball down the right sideline, it 224 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: goes through his bread basket. I don't know if that. 225 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: You know, in Garner's trust with the two time MVP, 226 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: you kind of got to build that up. I don't 227 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: know how many targets he's going to be seeing, So 228 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: we got to keep a lie out for some of 229 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: those kind of backfield shares, and we will continue to 230 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 2: do that here on Fantasy Flex Dane Martinez and Samantha Praviti. 231 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: But let's also talk a little bit, Samantha about some 232 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: of the injuries that took place in Week one, because 233 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: when you start to look at the waiver wire, you know, 234 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 2: the first place I go is who got hurt and 235 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: who's going to be that kind of quote unquote next 236 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: man up. We talked about Dak Prescott already. But another 237 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: injury that I think it's very important for a run 238 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: based team is the running back in San Francisco, Elijah Mitchell. 239 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: He's dealing with a knee injury. What do you think 240 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: about that one? 241 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: Okay, I have Mitchell on one team, So that did 242 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: not make me feel great right off the bat. I 243 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: mean he did before the first half. Jeff Wilson Junior, 244 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: that was my immediate thought is that he would be 245 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: the guy ended up having a pretty unremarkable day. I mean, 246 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: in a game that really did favor the run, nine 247 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: carries for twenty two yards. I mean the best running 248 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: back was Deebo Samuel. I mean, Deebo Samuel is great, 249 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: so I'm not taking anything away from him. But Terry 250 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: and Davis Price ended up being a healthy scratch in 251 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: Week one two. So I mean it was like this 252 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: was the perfect opportunity for Jeff Wilson to kind of 253 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: take over. Didn't do much. I mean that could just 254 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: be like the game was just a giant, sloppy, slipping 255 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: slide and like there was a lot of things happening. 256 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: So I think, like if you're going to roster someone 257 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: to replace Mitchell or just capitalize on the situation, like 258 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: I I would go for Jeff Wilson Junior. He is 259 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: fifteen percent rostered currently on Yahoo. But I mean, the 260 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: whole thing kind of gives me pause. I'm not sure 261 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: what to really make of it at this point, so 262 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: I would not say that he is my top waiver 263 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: claim like, if that makes sense. 264 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 2: I agree with you, Samantha, could because and you spoke 265 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: to it a little bit when you brought up Deebo Samuel. Okay, 266 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 2: their run game. The San Francisco run game is not 267 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: just running bats. You talk about Deebo, Samuel, Brendan Ayu, 268 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: can I get Ayu? He got some carries as well, 269 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: and then of course Trey Lance leads them in carries 270 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 2: and in rushing yards. So when you have that kind 271 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: of herd mentality in the run game to try to 272 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: identify one player that you're going to insert in lineups, 273 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 2: I'm with you, Samantha. I would take a kind of 274 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: wait and see approach to see what happens in the 275 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: run game in San Francisco. Another injury that I think 276 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: is very important is Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen left the 277 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 2: game with a hamstring injury. Now, I know everybody is 278 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: trying to get whatever shares of the Chargers pass attack 279 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: they possibly can, and so could a guy like Palmer, 280 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: who was you know, on a lot of people's radars 281 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: having kind of a training camp buzz. Could that be 282 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 2: someone we go to, especially because the Chargers have a 283 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 2: tight turnaround playing the Chiefs on Thursday night. 284 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't look good for Alan to play in 285 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: week two, like you said, with a tight turnaround. Now, 286 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: one of the most shocking things of this game was 287 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: that Mike Williams was completely mia. I don't know where 288 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: he went. I don't know like whose feelings he hurt, 289 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: but I will like I'm going to assume that he 290 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: will be the wide receiver one if Alan miss his 291 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: time this week. Now that still, it's a high volume, 292 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: very strong passing offense, there's going to be a lot 293 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: to go around. I love Gerald Everett as a potential 294 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: type guy to add this week, especially if you're just 295 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: like tight end needy of the wide receivers. It's kind 296 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: of complicated because DeAndre Carter was actually the one that 297 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: had a great day. I mean, he he's a twenty 298 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: nine year old journeyman return specialist of the top three 299 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: or four targets sixty four yards in a touchdown, finished 300 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: as wide receiver twenty one. But then it was just 301 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: spread around. I mean, Carter tied a whole bunch of 302 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: other guys with four targets, so it's not like one 303 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: guy was like super dominant. Now, Palmer also saw four targets, 304 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: but very quiet day. So I mean, I think both 305 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: of them are worth thinking about. But I don't know 306 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: that I would really trust Palmer or Carter in your 307 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: lineups unless you're in like a dart throw situation. Now, 308 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: I will say, like for dfs, they're probably gonna be 309 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: pretty good place, so fair enough here, I would think 310 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: about them. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable plugging 311 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: them into like a wide receiver three spot. 312 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you. Maybe if we had the bye 313 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 2: weeks upon us, you may be forced into some kind 314 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: of different situations, and I kind of think, like you, 315 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: I'd be more interested in Big Mike Williams. I'd be 316 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: more interested in Austin Eckler, to be quiet honest, maybe 317 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: even playing some of their prop bets. Because if you 318 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 2: think about it, like a pie, right when you take 319 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: out the keenan Allen part, someone is going to kind 320 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: of soak up that usage, and I personally think that 321 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: Justin Herbert will go to the kind of more familiar 322 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 2: targets that he has that trust in. But those are 323 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: some of the names to watch. What about over in 324 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh one of the games of the day in Week one, 325 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 2: we got a horrible kicking game. We got uprights being it, 326 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: we got comebacks potentially both ways, but also Naji Harris 327 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: left the game with that foot injury. He did not 328 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: come back and they went to kind of the backup 329 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 2: for the entirety of overtime. Naji Harris in terms of 330 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: like percentage of offense last year was one of the 331 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: biggest guys in all of fantasy Trust me, I know 332 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: because I had him on a ton of rosters. What 333 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: does Pittsburgh do if Nase can't go in Week two? 334 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: Does this become like Mitchell Trubisky putting it up forty 335 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: five times? 336 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Well, they are not deep at the 337 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: running back position to say the least. So Jalen Warren 338 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: was the preseason standout for the Steelers. He is four 339 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: percent rostered. I'm going to assume that he is the 340 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: de facto backup point though I kind of think it 341 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: was gonna like I was like, Oh, we'll wait and 342 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: see a few weeks and see how like Blackfield shakes out. Well, 343 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: we didn't really get that opportunity because Nag has this. 344 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if it's the same Lisa Frank injury. Yes, 345 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: Lis Frank injury. I'm just calling it a little Lisa 346 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: Frank injury and he had during the pre season, or 347 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: if it's new injury or something. It's kind of vague 348 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: right now, but I know he had some kind of 349 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: walking boot on definitely doesn't bode well for a running back, 350 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: especially one that has to rely on a ton of 351 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: volume to be productive. So I mean, Jalen Warren, like 352 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: I said, four percent, he's worth a speculative ad at 353 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: the very least. I think. I mean, he's he's a 354 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: type of backup right now that you can roster, but 355 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: you know he has long term value if the durability 356 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: for Harris really becomes a long term issue. 357 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I agree with you. The other thing I'd 358 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: say about that, Samantha is in the Mike Tomlin era. 359 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: They're in Pittsburgh. The Steelers have been a team that 360 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 2: is close to having kind of a quote unquote workhorse back, 361 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: and even when they have someone that they plug in, 362 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 2: they give that time. Whether it's Benny Snell or a 363 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 2: year's past DiAngelo Williams played the same kind of role 364 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 2: when they have this. Absolutely, when they go even to 365 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: a backup back, they give him the rock. So you 366 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: talk about Warren definitely an interesting speculative ad depending on 367 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: how Najy's foot is feeling. Well. Those are some of 368 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 2: the big time injuries where some of the pivots may 369 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 2: be a little bit obvious. But now, Samantha, let's go 370 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 2: into each position and talk about some of your targets 371 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: on the wave of wire. We'll start with quarterback. Okay, 372 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 2: maybe you lost Dak Prescott, right, and you need to 373 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: kind of hunt the wave of wire. And it's so different, Samantha, 374 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 2: especially at the quarterback position if you're in a kind 375 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: of super flex league, because if you're in our super 376 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 2: flex league, there's no quarterbacks left available. If you're in 377 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: standard kind of leagues, you got options, you know what 378 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 2: I mean. So let's say you lost Dak or you're 379 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 2: not pleased by the performance of your quarterback in week one, 380 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: Where are you hunting at the quarterback position? 381 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: No. I think this is interesting because the quarterback position 382 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: is very deep, and there's like this whole sentiment in 383 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: the fantasy community that you shouldn't be rostering two quarterbacks 384 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: in a normal one quarterback like twelveteen league. But that said, like, 385 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,719 Speaker 1: there were some very underwhelming performances and some major question 386 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: marks and some injuries to your point that, like, I 387 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: feel like you could definitely justify picking up one of 388 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: these guys as an insurance policy. So my first one 389 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: is going to be Jameis Winston. I was all over 390 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 1: him as a sleeper target this year. I said that 391 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: he's probably gonna end up a top twelve the position. Now, 392 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be the thirty touchdown, 393 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: thirty three interception type guy that he was before. But 394 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: you know, he really came alive in that fourth quarter. 395 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: The first three quarters were a little rocky, but he 396 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: ended up with two hundred and sixty nine yards, two touchdowns, 397 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: with zero interceptions, briefly banged up in the game, but 398 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: finished at the quarterback seven. So I mean, I certainly 399 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: think he has fringed QB one potential immediately. Could be 400 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: a great Dak Prescott vill In. He's forty six percent rostered, 401 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: so available in just over half of the league's out there, 402 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: but he would be in my top pick if you 403 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: lost a quarterback or really just need a quarterback. Carson 404 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: Wentz I did not expect that surprisingly nice outing for 405 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: his debut before the Commanders thirteen percent rostered. He completed 406 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: twenty seven of forty one for three hundred and thirteen yeards, 407 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, two interceptions, did a little bit of rushing, 408 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: but it was totally He had a good rapport with 409 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: his pass catchers Antonio Gibson, Curtis Samuel, Terry, McLaurin, johand Austen. 410 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not gonna get to play the Jaguars 411 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: every week, so I'm not going to expect him to 412 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: post top three numbers every week. But I think that 413 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: he is a reliable QB two moving forward, in a 414 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: viable option if you're desperate as a as a press 415 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: coomm nitor, like you could be in a fourteen sixteen 416 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: team league where like Carson Wentz is going to be 417 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: your best option. And then for deeper situations, I mean 418 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, Baker Mayfield, Davis Mills those there are three 419 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: other names that I would consider rostering if you really 420 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: need to be help. 421 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. When you talk about Jameis Winston, I 422 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 2: mean he does have a season under his where he 423 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 2: led the NFL in passing yards. I know you talk 424 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: about that yolo like leading in touchdowns and interceptions, but 425 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: Jameis Winston with those weapons on the outside could be 426 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 2: an interesting ad. You know. I don't know though, that 427 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: they're gonna be down by two scores. I'm big Samantha 428 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 2: on gamescript and game flow, right, and they had to 429 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: come all the way back against Atlanta. The next games 430 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: up on the Saint schedule, they've got the Buccaneers, which 431 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: always wind up being like really low scoring games when 432 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 2: those two teams get together, and then I think the Panthers, 433 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 2: and I wonder if the Saints get out to leads 434 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 2: what they will do instead. If you remember Jameis Winston 435 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 2: early in the season before he got hurt last year, 436 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 2: he's kind of one of those efficient passers, right the 437 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: Saints were winning games and he was going like, you know, 438 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: thirteen for eighteen for one hundred and eighty yards in 439 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 2: a victory. So I do think it managed to see 440 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 2: what you believe the Saints will do in the game, 441 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 2: and that correlates to what Jameis Winston will do in 442 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 2: the game. But Jameis Winston is becoming something of a 443 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 2: national trie measure giving his comedic chops. Shall we say 444 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 2: let's go over to the running back position, though, Samantha, 445 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: you know a lot of running backs underperformed. We talked 446 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 2: about cam Akers and Thursday Night and a ton of 447 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 2: other ones. We also talked about some potential injuries to 448 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 2: running backs earlier in the show. What are some of 449 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 2: the running backs you are looking at on the wave 450 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 2: of Wire? 451 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: Sure? So other than Jalen Warren and Jeff Wilson Junior, 452 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: I want to get Jamal Williams forty seven percent rostered, 453 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: so he's not available in a ton of leagues. But 454 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, this beloved hard knock star, it. 455 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: Makes me want to cry like Jamal Williams in episode. 456 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: One, Yes, so like DeAndre set obviously had this massive 457 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: game for the Lions, who really looked quite scrappy. But 458 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: Jamal Williams had a great day too. Eleven carries for 459 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: twenty yards and a pair of touchdowns and caught one 460 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: or two targets for two yards, good enough for an 461 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: ARB thirteen finish. Now, I think that that like Swift 462 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: is going to be the alpha, he is the clear guy, 463 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: but Williams has a role in this offense. I think 464 00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: that's what that showed me. Like It's not like the 465 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: with some blowout when and they were just doing garbage 466 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: time like they were close in a lot of this game. 467 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that he is for sure 468 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: a really interesting get that could have long term value 469 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: way past just being like a handcuff type guy. Isaiah Pacheka, 470 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: he was a very popular preseason game. Yes, I ended 471 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: a name who lived up to that hype as the 472 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: Chiefs obviously just completely shalacked the Cardinals. I mean he 473 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: out touched lead back Clyde Edward d Lair. Now I 474 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: do want to say that he did not see a 475 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: touch until the second quarter. 476 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: That's what I was. 477 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: Already gone up twenty to seven. 478 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, like with Jamal Williams, you said it wasn't a 479 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: kind of garbage time situation, but with Pacheco, it kind 480 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 2: of was. I mean, had two touchdowns already, the Chiefs 481 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: had a forty burger up already and then it kind 482 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 2: of seemed like Pacheco was in mop up duty. But 483 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: you think there's still there's still meat on the bone 484 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: from him on a week's week basis, do I mean? 485 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: I think, like that's not a gigantically, that's not a 486 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: blow ay, that's the second quarter. I mean, yes, he 487 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: was utilized most heavily in the fourth quarter in garbage time. 488 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, Like the Chiefs could be in 489 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: garbage time a lot, Like they could be ahead by 490 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: two stores a lot this year. And I mean, he's 491 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: a talented dude. And we also seem Clyde Edward ze 492 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: Lair deal with injuries. So I mean like there are 493 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: certain guys where their insurance policies are a little more 494 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: likely to be used. And I think there's a good 495 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: chance that Clyde Edwards there, this is a couple of 496 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: games here and there. So I mean, I think Pachecko 497 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: is the clear number two right now, and I think 498 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: you should you should definitely be adding a Pacheco. 499 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: One other running back I do want to ask you 500 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: about it, and it's Khalil Herbert in Chicago, Okay, only 501 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 2: rostered in about forty forty one percent of leagues he 502 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: hits pay dirt yesterday against the forty nine ers. But 503 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: to me, that game in Chicago yesterday, Samantha was kind 504 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 2: of a anomaly, right, like, are we going to always 505 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: have a mom soon? You know, obviously slanted to the 506 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: run games of both teams. And I don't know about you, 507 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: but I was on the under five and a half 508 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 2: wins for Chicago. So the idea that he would be 509 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 2: in the kind of grind out the clock mode, I 510 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: don't know how often that's gonna happen for the Chicago Bear. 511 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 2: You still got Montgomery there as well, but I see 512 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 2: that you're targeting Khalil Herbert in some rosters. 513 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, he actually saw nine carries to Montgomery seven, 514 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: but he was more productive in him, I mean five 515 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: yards per carrier versus Montgomery's paltry one point five. Now, yes, 516 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: there is some gamescript stuff. I kind of want to 517 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: just throw that whole game out because it was I 518 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: took forty nine ers. Like everything you sent me about 519 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: this game, I had Trey Lance. But that said, I 520 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: mean the eye test. I also thought that Herbert looked 521 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: just as good, if not better, than David Montgomery. So 522 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: I think that this is. It's been my suspicion all 523 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: off the season that this would be some kind of timeshare, 524 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: and this obviously confirmed some of it. I don't know 525 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: if that's reflective, but I think it's enough to warrant 526 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: a waver claim for him because he could definitely end 527 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: up in some kind of fifty fifty split with Monty. 528 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: Sleeper is the fastest growing fantasy platform today with millions 529 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: of players. You probably already have a fantasy league on there. 530 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 2: I use it for mine. It's a game changing product 531 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: unlike anything else in the industry, and now you could 532 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: win on Sleeper by playing their new over under game. 533 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: It's super simple. First, in any sport, choose two or 534 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: more players that you like and pick the over under 535 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 2: for example rushing yards at a football number or points 536 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: in basketball. Then choose the amount of money you want 537 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 2: to enter into the contest. If you pick correctly, you 538 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 2: can win anywhere from two to over twenty times the 539 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: money you put in. The main reason I'm excited about 540 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 2: over under on Sleeper is that it's the only app 541 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 2: where I can join my friends, contest and play together. 542 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: It's got a built in group chat where I can 543 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: see and copy my group picks with the top of 544 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 2: a button along went over Under integrated into the fantasy 545 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 2: experience itself.

Fantasy 554 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 2: Flex podcast here Dan Martinez and Samantha Bravidi taking you 555 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 2: through waiver wire additions potentially as we go into week 556 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: two here on the Action Network. Samantha, let's go over 557 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 2: to the wide receiver position. Okay, because you talked a 558 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: little bit about Carson Wentz before and how he could 559 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 2: be a viable ad. There are a few pass catchers 560 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 2: right that may be out there, not scary Terry McLaurin, 561 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 2: who's probably a drafted and people's wide receiver two let's say, 562 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 2: but there are a number of other pass catchers for 563 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 2: the commanders that really had a good game. Which of 564 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 2: those would you prioritize out of the Samuels, the Dotson's, 565 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: and the others, who would be the first Commander wide 566 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: out you grabbed from the wavewar? 567 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: Sure, I mean it's really tough. I think I would 568 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: go Dotson. I would lean Dawson. Now there's a lot. 569 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot going on here. He was 570 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: one of the least hyped names, just not as flashy 571 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: as Garrett Wilson or a lave or anything like that. 572 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: Ended up with the best day for Fantasy of all 573 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: the year. One wideouts caught three of five targets forty 574 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. Are just completely insane. Now, Samuel 575 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: caught eight of eleven targets for fifty five yards in 576 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: a touchdown. He has been productive, but he's also got 577 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: injury concerns. He missed like almost all of last year 578 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: with his growing injury. Samuel's also somewhat been a little 579 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: bit boom or bust in his career, whereas I think 580 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: Dowson's the young sort of talent. So I think that 581 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: longer term Dowson will be the end. 582 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: Okay, and then you know, we talked about Jamis when 583 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: we were doing quarterbacks. One of his receivers I think 584 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 2: had a very interesting game, and it is Juice Landry, 585 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 2: who comes into New Orleans. And I thought you would 586 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 2: be something of an afterthought, maybe a slot guy, you know, 587 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: because you do have Michael Thomas who did return, you 588 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 2: do have a Lave who you just mentioned as a rookie. 589 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: But when the Saints were down two scores, Samantha Jamis 590 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: was looking for Jarvis Landry over one hundred yards. And 591 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: this is a guy, you know, who's been labeled as 592 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: a possession receiver, a BPR kind of receiver, but he 593 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 2: was more than that yesterday. 594 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: I totally agree. Seven catches on nine targets for one 595 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen yards. So, first of all, I don't 596 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: know if this is like I'm very upset that Alvin 597 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: Kamara was like pretty mia in this game. I don't 598 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: know if it was like he just preferred Landry in 599 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: those types of like shorter yardage situations. I foresee that 600 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: he will vie with rookie Chris o'lave for that number 601 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: two spot behind Thomas. Olave was a little bit quieter, 602 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: but he's a rookie. I think he'll take time. Now, Landry, 603 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: I think, I mean, yeah, he could be valuable in 604 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: PPR formance as previous as he has been in previous years. 605 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: So like, if you're in a pinch for a wide 606 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: receiver three year flex, I don't hate it all, right? 607 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: Are there any other wideouts that you think people should 608 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 2: be looking at that could be out there on the 609 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: wave of a wire that you think could be a priority. 610 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: Maybe spend that fad budget or burn your number two 611 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 2: or three priority in a league? 612 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: Sure, I mean Devn Duberne comes to mind. I was 613 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: just two years too early on the Devin. 614 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 2: I was early on THEO. I was also early on Bateman. 615 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: I was all over him last year. Like one on 616 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: the Baltimore pass catchers that's not named Mark Andrews has 617 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 2: to be viable, right right, I mean. 618 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: Like, look, obviously no Marquis Brown in Baltimore, so that 619 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: number two wide receiver spot is totally up for grabs 620 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: at this point. He had the better day of anyone 621 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: for fantasy, if you're sure, But I mean not a 622 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: super impressive target share thirteen point eight percent, So I 623 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: mean I want to see that increase as time goes, 624 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: I think that he's more of a boom er bust 625 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: like flex place point. But I think like just stashing 626 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: him and see how it evolves, because like, if you 627 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: don't need someone to start next week, he could definitely 628 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: evolve into like a legit wide receiver two or wide 629 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: receiver three or something like that as the season progresses. 630 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, maybe now I'm a Jets fan. 631 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: So the way I'd like to think about it, it's 632 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 2: because Sauce Gardner was absolutely blanketing Bateman on the other side, 633 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 2: and so that's why they had to go to Douverney. 634 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: But I digress, Missy Flex, Dane Martinez and Samantha Praviti 635 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 2: and then we get to the time position. And Samantha, 636 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 2: I told you before the show, if there is one 637 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 2: guy I am incredibly intrigued by. I've been incredibly intrigued 638 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 2: by this guy for the better part of four years. 639 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 2: Sean Payton was in love with this guy. We've been 640 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 2: talking about the New Orleans Saints a little bit. We 641 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 2: gotta talk about Taysom Hill, Samantha. We got to talk 642 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 2: about Taysom Hill. I remember asking you last week on 643 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 2: Green DoD Daily, which you got to check out weekdays 644 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 2: by the way, that a lot of tight ends are 645 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 2: almost touchdown dependent after you get through the elite guys. 646 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 2: But honestly, Samantha, Ay, if Taysom Hill is gonna be, 647 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 2: you know, listed as a tight end in your league, 648 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: check your settings. But if he's also gonna get legitimate 649 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 2: carries and be a part of their offense, Like, is 650 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 2: this sustainable for Taysom Hill, Because if it is, I'll 651 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 2: pick them up. 652 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: I want to say it's a developing situation, okay, because 653 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: I really did not expect to see that usage. Now, 654 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 1: this is a whole new offense, whole new team. Obviously 655 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: Champagne in a different quarterback situation. But I mean Taysom 656 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: Hill is just like a polarizing player in general because 657 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: of that one week where he was tight end eligible 658 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of people are mad over that. Yes, 659 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: so he's tight and eligible. He's like this weird hybrid quarterback, 660 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: tight end, running back, wide receiver. 661 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. 662 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he lines up at every position, so it's very, 663 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: very strange. He did not throw any passes yesterday, but 664 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: he certainly was utilized a lot in that run game, 665 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: So I mean he's I think he's worth an ad 666 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: for sure. He I think was the tight end three 667 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: for the week so far. So it's like, I don't know, 668 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: that's pretty. That really came out of nowhere. For me, 669 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: I thought that Taysom Hill project was over after gone, 670 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna admit that this was a big, 671 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: big shock. But that said, I mean, I think he's 672 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: a really high upside type stash. Like I'm gonna say 673 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: tight end two for now, I want to see it 674 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: once more. I need to see the usage be more consistent. 675 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 2: I agree with you, and they gave him the ball 676 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 2: as you mentioned when Jamis tweaked something in the first half. 677 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: That's also when they went to Taysom. But then he, 678 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 2: you know, made good on his opportunities. I'm almost of 679 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 2: the mindset, though, Samantha, that like, if I can rely 680 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 2: on like three or four carries for Taysom Hill, that 681 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: might be better than relying on potentially four targets for 682 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 2: some other tight end that's on the wave of a wire. 683 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 2: And you may even get block kick points from Taysom Hill. 684 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,239 Speaker 2: He absolutely does it all. But I digress. I think 685 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,719 Speaker 2: it's like you said, a developing situation. Will watch here 686 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 2: on the fantasy flex, But Samantha, any other tight ends 687 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 2: that are on the bord or available right now in 688 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 2: a lot of leagues that you would want to snatch up. 689 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: We already mentioned Gerald Everett twenty nine percent roster. He's 690 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: definitely going to be my top ad at tight end. 691 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: Another guy that impressed was Oj Howard new text stating 692 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,959 Speaker 1: with his data team in the in the day's ozo 693 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: only tie finished as the tight end two. I mean, 694 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: talk about efficiency. Caught both of his targets for thirty 695 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: eight yards and two touchdowns. Now that seems it could 696 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: be a little fluky, but I want to remind people 697 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: that Howard is extremely talented, five star recruit out of 698 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: high school, highly touted prospect from Alabama, first round pick 699 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: from the Buccaneers, won a Super Bowl, didn't play in 700 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But I mean, he has this talent 701 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: athleticism to produce in this league. Now he has this 702 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: injury history. He's just never done it before. So I'm 703 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: not saying go out blow all your fab but I 704 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: think he could be a bench stash. See how that 705 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: kind of develops. I mean I didn't I didn't expect that, 706 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: but I also didn't expect the Texans to look that good. 707 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: I mean, they really held their own against a Colts defense. 708 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: So I was pretty impressed, and I'm a little I've 709 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: been optimistic on the Texans. They overperform even my expectations yesterday. 710 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's interesting. Weird things happen in AFC 711 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 2: South matchups in Week one. You always got to watch 712 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 2: out for that. And like I said, sometimes these tight 713 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 2: ends are touchdown dependent. Sure, oh j Howard maximized his 714 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 2: two catches for two touchdowns, but if he doesn't get 715 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 2: those in pay dirt, he's not gonna be the second 716 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 2: ranked tight end on the waiver wire. Well, that will 717 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 2: just about do it here for this episode of Fantasy Flex. 718 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 2: Is there anybody else that we didn't get to Samantha 719 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 2: or someone that we should have eyes on? 720 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 1: The only other player a tight end that I will 721 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: want to mention Hayden Hurst. Have been really high on 722 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: all yeah season. Now the Bengals, Oh god, what a 723 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: disappointing game overall. I mean, I don't think Joe Burrow 724 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: is going to throw four interceptions every game, hope not. 725 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: But Hayden Hurst ten percent rostered. I think he's a 726 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: guy that you could pick up if you have a 727 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: disappointing tight end situation. Now, I mean, like I said, 728 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: like Gerald Everett, if you were a Mike GASICKI manager, 729 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: I'm probably running to that waiver wire. I was very 730 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: unimpressed with him. There's a number of tight ends I'm 731 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: unimpressed with, and to your point, it's kind of random. 732 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: So it's not a bad idea to be flexible at 733 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: the position assuming you don't have I mean, like Mark 734 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: Andrews didn't have a great day, but like I'm not 735 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: panicking on that, Kyle Pitts or anything like that. But 736 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: some of those guys down the list, like Dawson Knox, 737 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 1: if you have him and he's your only tight end, 738 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: I would I think it would be worth it, maybe 739 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: picking up one more guy. 740 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, I said it before at the 741 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 2: top of the show. I'd also keep an eye on 742 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: my guy, Robert Tunyan in Green Bay in the red zone. 743 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 2: Rogers was always looking Devonte Adams. He's not there. He 744 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 2: doesn't trust anybody else out there. Robert Tunyan, I was 745 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 2: surprised looked okay back from injury right there in week one. Well, Samantha, 746 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: that'll do it for Fantasy flex here this time around, 747 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 2: but we now have something we need to track. Promise 748 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 2: me that when we do this next week, we'll find 749 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: out if Taysom Hill got four touches again, and after 750 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 2: that situation continues to develop. But it was great talking 751 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 2: about the waiver wire with you here going in from 752 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 2: week one into week two
