1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: The most valuable commodity I know of is information. 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree? 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: You great? One five dollars. This is a road a 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: lot having a tackle chip. 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: One man, you're saying that humans need fantasy to make 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 2: life bearable. Humans need fantasy to be human. 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: My goodness, that's good. 8 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: You guys are prone, best, relentless, refusing to give up. 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: All right, hit that horn bury less there, Hello. 10 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: And welcome to the Fantasy Flex Podcast. I am your host, 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: Samantha Reedy, and I am joined as always by the 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: one and only Mike Triplett, longtime Saints fete reporter whose 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 2: work you can find on the Action Network and at 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 2: New Orleans Dot Football. Mike, how are you big win 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: for you guys yesterday? 16 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, things are a little calmer in my art study, 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 3: not just dooming bloom. We're allowed to talk about other 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: topics for a change around here. But I cannot say 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 3: the same for the Las Vegas Raiders right now. 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: Fair enough, And I cannot say the same about the 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers right now because that was just honestly so heartbreaking. Obviously, 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: so many chances and they really did deserve to lose 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: at the end. I mean it kind of stinks that 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: the unsportsmanlike conduct helmet thing kind of really came into 25 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: play there. But yes, kind of like watching the end 26 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 2: of a movie that you've already seen, Like I saw 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: this happen in Week one against the Browns, so I 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: shouldn't be surprised or disappointed. And we are just one 29 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 2: step closer to a better quarter. 30 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 3: So in terms of wow, well, look a lot of 31 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: things have been coming true. On your board, it was 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: you know, it was tanked for the quarterback a couple 33 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: weeks ago. It was three Kyle Pitts, and so I 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: was thinking, like, who, I need to go through my 35 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 3: teams and decide maybe, like maybe you should auction that off. 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: What we can put on your board back there because 37 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: you're on a hot streak. 38 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: Yes, I need to manifest some stuff. Maybe we can 39 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: free aj Dillen next. So in terms of things that 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 2: happened on Sunday, a lot of things happened. But yeah, 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: the Saints quarterback situation is something that I wanted to 42 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: ask you about just because you are obviously in the trenches. 43 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: They are another good performance from Andy Dalton. So do 44 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: we expect to see James Winston anytime soon? No? 45 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 3: Since we last talked, Dennis Allen pretty clearly said he 46 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: is making the decision to go with Andy Dalton indefinitely. 47 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 3: He didn't say guaranteed for the rest of the season, 48 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 3: but he said even though Jamis Winston is now back 49 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 3: to being a full participant in practice, he's healthy enough 50 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: to be the backup on game day, even though he's 51 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: still dealing with with injuries. He said they're going with 52 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: Andy Dalton because he likes how the offense has operated 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: with Dalton in charge. And obviously we saw that play 54 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: out with a twenty four to zhing win over the Raiders, 55 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 3: and I think for fantasy purposes we're going to talk 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 3: about quarterbacks who can pick up, but Dalton is very 57 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: viable now that we're getting into bye weeks and you know, 58 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 3: injury replacements and things like that as a backup optioner 59 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: in two QB leaks, But the most important takeaway is 60 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 3: how good he's been for Alvin Kamara. It was seven 61 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 3: six and six receptions for Kamara in their first three 62 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: games together, and then yesterday it was nine receptions and 63 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: two touchdowns. This is this is obviously what anyone who 64 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 3: has Alvin Kamara on their team should be buying an 65 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: Andy Dalton jersey and hoping that continues. And I do 66 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: wonder if we ever get to see Michael Thomas on 67 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 3: the field, if that will benefit Michael Thomas as well, 68 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: because Andy Dalton was thrown a lot of passes close 69 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: to the close to the line of scrimmage. You know, 70 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: he can take the occasional deep shot. But this is 71 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,119 Speaker 3: the kind of offense the Saints want to run. 72 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I will just say in one of my leagues, 73 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: I scored one hundred and seventy points. This is the 74 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: same team that scored like seventy six points last week, 75 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: so you know, day and night here. But I had 76 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara and AJ Brown on that team, and I 77 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: picked up Andy Dalton and so I had a pretty 78 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: good week there. And I was just I was just 79 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: crossing my fingers that I could get like, you know, 80 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: fifteen points out of Dalton. So I was pumped that 81 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: they looked so strong this week. 82 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: Well, the biggest theme I think of the entire week 83 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 3: is one that we probably won't talk about for the 84 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 3: rest of this because we're talking about waiver wire pickups. 85 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: If you had superstars yesterday, it was a pretty good 86 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: day finally, Yes. 87 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 2: You know what, the fantasy gods made it up to 88 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: us after a number of bad weeks. It was just 89 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: like every week there was just a star that was 90 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: like a complete dud, like a first round type guy 91 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: that just didn't show up and ruined your fantasy week. 92 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: So yes, it was super high scoring and it was 93 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 2: an exciting week. I mean, it was so much fun 94 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: to watch red Zone personally, So I had a great 95 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: time watching football yesterday. Anyway, in terms of some of 96 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: the things that are happening around the league, we obviously 97 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: had Cadarius Tony traded to the Chiefs. I'm not sure 98 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: how much of a impact that will make on the 99 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: Chiefs or Kadarius Tony's value. Like obviously you think, oh, yeah, 100 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: he's going to this team with a great quarterback, huge upgrade, 101 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: But the guy hasn't played since Week two and he's 102 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 2: missed more weeks than he has played in his NFL career. 103 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: So do you have any thoughts on that or maybe 104 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 2: any of the other guys that could be able to 105 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 2: move at the deadline. 106 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 3: Well, you have to stash Tony on your bench because 107 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: I mean two things happened. One he's with one of 108 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 3: the best quarterbacks in the league now, and two he 109 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 3: got away from a team where there was obviously some 110 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: sort of discontent going on there. I don't love it 111 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: because I was already trying to figure out how much 112 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: to trust Juju. 113 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: And how much to trust MVS. 114 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: And you know, you know, it just clouds the picture 115 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 3: even more in Kansas City. But for Tony specifically, if 116 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: he wasn't already on my bench, you know, he becomes 117 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: a sort of a lottery ticket now, I think, because 118 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: if you wanted to pick a situation for him, you 119 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 3: couldn't have picked a much better one. And I think 120 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: that's exactly how we're going to look at all the 121 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 3: other people. Unless there's a major surprise with like a 122 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey level player, it's all going to be about 123 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: they wind up. You know, Cam Akers, Kareem Hunt, Elijah Moore, 124 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks, even they could end up in better situations 125 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 3: or they can end up in worse ones. I mean, 126 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: you know, Brandon Cooks had Houston all to himself and 127 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 3: he wasn't performing. So if he becomes somebody's third receiver, 128 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 3: is that better? If he went to Green Bay or something, 129 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 3: that would be great. So I think with all those guys, 130 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: I want to know where they end up. 131 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: Absolutely with the Canarius Tony thing, I mean, the range 132 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 2: of outcomes is just so wide, right, I mean, he 133 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 2: could end up being a week to week wide receiver 134 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 2: one if he actually is healthy and on the field, 135 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 2: or he could never see the field, do you know, 136 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: the rest of the season. So yeah, to your point 137 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: lottery ticket. But yeah, in terms of the types of guys, 138 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 2: I mean, the only one that I would say, like 139 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: has to go up, or maybe two they have to 140 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: go up from where they are right now. Or Elijah 141 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: Moore and can Makers because obviously cam Akers is not 142 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 2: seeing the field and Elijah Moore had one target yesterday. 143 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 2: They both, I mean, for arious reasons, seem to be 144 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 2: on their way out, but I don't know. I mean, 145 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: the trade deadline is here soon. There's there's not a 146 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: lot of time left. But there are a lot of 147 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: teams that still need running backs and wide receivers. I 148 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: mean the Giants, for sure, could you. 149 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: Saints could be one. 150 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: The Saints mark Ingram got hurt yesterday, I wouldn't be shocked. 151 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 3: You know, we were wondering if they were going to 152 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: be sellers and sources had said they're they're not looking 153 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 3: to trade Alvin Kamara, but then they get this big 154 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: wing and mark Ingram gets hurt. So I wonder if 155 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: if there'll be a running back buyer. But it's funny 156 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: on Elijah Moore, he is uh, trying as hard as 157 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: he possibly can to get traded. I saw his quote 158 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: or somebody asked him about the chemistry. 159 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: Was Zach Wilson. He goes, I don't, I don't really 160 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: know about the chemistry. He doesn't throw to me. 161 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Yeah. Well to your void about the NFCS, 162 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: I mean the NFC SAT that is just completely wide open. 163 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: So no point in having a fire sail for the 164 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: Saints quite yet. But jumping into injuries, you said mark 165 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: Ingroom obviously has the knee injury. We had Cooper Cup 166 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: with the ankle injury, which definitely gave a lot of 167 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: people a scare. He is day to day right now, 168 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: so he could play next week, but it's not clear 169 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: if he doesn't. Opportunities for Alan Robinson Van Jefferson, who 170 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: came back from injury this week. He elite, I mean 171 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,559 Speaker 2: he didn't have any fantasy points, but also ben'scronik could 172 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: step up as well. He had one target yesterday. But 173 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: I think this would really impact Matthew Stafford in a 174 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: very negative way. If you happen to be in a 175 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: two QB league and still starting this guy, I certainly 176 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: would not have any faith in him there. And on 177 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: the Ravens, we had a couple of injuries too. Mark 178 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: Andrews with the shoulder injury not expected to be serious. 179 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 2: Rashad Bateman had a foot injury also wasn't expected to 180 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 2: be serious, but now he's expected to miss a few weeks. 181 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: We've just came out a couple minutes before we started recording, 182 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: so that could be a really big deal for Devin Dubernet. 183 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: But there are not a lot of pass catchers on 184 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: this team that are very healthy. 185 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, Mark Andrews is one monitor because unfortunately 186 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 3: I don't think we'll know enough about him by Tuesday. 187 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: But if he was going to miss time, Isaiah likely 188 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: might be the most popular pickup of anyone we're going 189 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 3: to talk about today. But since it does not sound 190 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: like Andrews is going to miss a lot of time, 191 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 3: I'm not sure if likely has long term value. But 192 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: he is an interesting. I mean the fact that he 193 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: stepped up as much as he did while Andrews was 194 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 3: dealing with the injury. He's certainly somebody to make sure 195 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 3: he's been picked up on any dynasty or keeper leagues. 196 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely. All right, well let's just jump right into the waivers. Well, 197 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: we've got the Chiefs and Chargers returning from by so 198 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: we kind of had a little bit of a reprieve 199 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: with just two teams out, though they were teams with 200 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: a lot of Fantasy relevant players. My team without Austin 201 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: Eckler was definitely suffering. But now we've got six teams 202 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: on bias. So their first of two kind of by 203 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: NATO's in Week nine. That's going to be the Browns, Cowboys, Broncos, Giants, Steelers, 204 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: and forty nine Ers. Thankfully, those teams actually combined are 205 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 2: a little bit lighter on terms of the fantasy relevant guys, 206 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: but still a good number of them. Amari Cooper, Nick Chubb, 207 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard, Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb. I mean 208 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: that there's a long list. Christian McCaffrey, who's out there 209 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 2: throwing touchdowns a triple threat. Really, I mean, not quite. 210 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: To the table people exactly. 211 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, so people are definitely going to be waivers pretty 212 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 2: seriously this cycle, or they should be. Unfortunately, it's not 213 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: that great of a cycle, especially for running backs. So 214 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 2: but let's start with quarterbacks. I really like Justin Fields. 215 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 2: I have been a really big Justin Fields supporter for 216 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 2: a long time. Like I was first, I was hired 217 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: by Action Network and like I think the first video 218 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: that they had me make was like this like three 219 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: person panel where we all argued about which, uh, which 220 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 2: quarterback should go to the forty nine ers at the time. 221 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: And of course I took the Justin Fields light of things, 222 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 2: and it's it's been a it's been a rough go, 223 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: but not one hundred percent his fault. I mean, it 224 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: must be pretty tough playing without offensive weapons and with 225 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 2: you know, a terrible offensive line. So it's not like 226 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: the Bears are setting him up for success. But that said, 227 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: he actually is looking a little better. This was a 228 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: very difficult matchup on paper. I mean, no one expected 229 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: the Bears to really show up, and I mean they 230 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: still lost by twenty, but Justin Field did actually have 231 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 2: a pretty nice game, and you know, he gets it 232 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: done through the air and on the ground, he rushed 233 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 2: eight times for sixty yards in a touchdown, had two 234 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: stounds through the air. Currently the QB five heading into 235 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 2: Monday night, so I mean it was definitely a rough start, 236 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 2: but he's got a nice schedule coming up here with 237 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: the buys you know on the radar. He's got the Dolphins, Lions, 238 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: and Falcons. All of those defenses are bottom eight and 239 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 2: defensive DVOA. So I think that he could be a 240 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 2: really nice, like fringe sort of QB one with six 241 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 2: teams on by another guy I like is Taylor heinike 242 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: seven percent roster, so really out there for sure if 243 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: you happen to miss out on Justin Fields. I talked 244 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 2: about rostering him last week and he was pretty strong. 245 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 2: He's another type of guy that's going to get it 246 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: done on the ground and through the air. And he's 247 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: Vikings next week, who are definitely bolow average defensively. Anyone 248 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: that you. 249 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,599 Speaker 3: Like, well, yeah, your top three on this list was 250 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: the same top three I had jotted down. I mean Felds, Yeah, 251 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: Fields has gone more from I guess I'll settle for 252 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 3: him too. I want to consider starting him over someone 253 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 3: like Matthew Stafford that you don't you know that you 254 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 3: said is going to be harder to trust and Cooper 255 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 3: cup and forty nine twenty nine, that's kind of what 256 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: we needed to find out about him because is he 257 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: only effective when they're able to stick with the run 258 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: game or can he also give you some catch up 259 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 3: fantasy points? So I think that was real promising. I 260 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 3: think a month ago it felt like, oh geez, the 261 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 3: Bear's going to move on from him next year. Now 262 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: he's really delivering on that promise you talked about. Heinike 263 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 3: was the next guy had on my list just you know, 264 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 3: seems you know, he's not he's not going to be 265 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 3: your high ceiling answer, but you know, he seems like 266 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 3: he belongs, you know, in the role he's in. Not 267 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 3: not the quarterback you want, but the quarterback you're you're 268 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: willing to take. And like I said last week, so 269 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: good for Terry McLaurin, we mentioned Andy Dalton. You know, 270 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 3: he's perfectly solid, and uh, PJ Walker if if he 271 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 3: can get one Hell Mary every week. But the only 272 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 3: thing about PJ. Walker is at least they've already named 273 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: him the starter for next week. So so you know, 274 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 3: if you're trying to figure out if you're down to 275 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 3: the slim pickens, at least you know he's got another 276 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: start in him. 277 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: Definitely. I know you kind of. I mentioned PJ. Walker 278 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: in passing last week, and you just interjected and said, 279 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 2: I know I would skip him for sure. 280 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: I didn't know hell Mary. I forgot about the hell 281 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: Mary factor. I forgot about it. No, all good. 282 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone, including myself, expected p J. Walker 283 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: to be playing at this level. I mean, they're not 284 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 2: going to get to play Atlanta every week, but they 285 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: do get to play them into so certainly it should 286 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: be on your radar thereon Marcus Mary, I also had 287 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 2: a nice game. So those are pretty much the quarterbacks. 288 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 2: I mean, like, here's a good question, like would you 289 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 2: would you start Justin Fields next week or Aaron Rodgers? 290 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: Like who do you feel more comforting than that? Sad? 291 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: I know, but that's where we are at this point. 292 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 3: I'm luckily I don't have Aaron Rodgers on any teams, 293 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 3: and I would have like that's the approach I usually 294 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: take a fantasy. I just so happened to not have Aaron. 295 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: I have Tom Brady on three and so I keep 296 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 3: making decisions like that. 297 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: But I'm a glutton. I would look. I kept Kyle. 298 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 3: Pitts in both of my lineups this week, Like there's 299 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 3: some people that I'm just like instead of chasing other 300 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: unreliable people. Maybe I would trade for an upgrade, but 301 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: I think I would keep try Aaron Rodgers out there. 302 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 3: But the fact that you have to ask the question 303 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 3: lets you know the state of both quarterbacks right now. 304 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: Now on the Sleeper.

Like I alluded before, it's pretty 332 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: lean out there. It's a number of guys that maybe 333 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: have the opportunities if someone's traded or something like that. 334 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: There's just a lot of nebulous backfields right now. So 335 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: some guys that are on my radar are from the Rams. 336 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: That's Kyne Williams and Ronnie Rivers. So actually it was 337 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: Matthew Berry that was tweeting this whole thing that Ronnie 338 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: Rivers might be the guy heading into Sunday, And I 339 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: actually mentioned it on unconvinced me, and I think Sean 340 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 2: and Chris both laughed at me and they were like, 341 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: I'm not concerned about fourth string running back of Ronnie Rivers. 342 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: And I mean it certainly was not like he didn't 343 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: have a fantastic performance, but this backfield is so wide 344 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: open without Cam Akers there and Darryl Henderson. I mean, 345 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: he was sick this week, but he's dealt with a 346 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 2: lot of injuries, and I just feel like the fact 347 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: that he was on the field but not used as 348 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: much as Rivers, Like I said, the fourth string guy, 349 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 2: it certainly feels like either Kyra Williams or Ronnie Rivers 350 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 2: could step up. Kira Williams hasn't seen the field all year, 351 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: but they do plan to get him the ball, and 352 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: I heard that his return is imminent and that they 353 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: do actually want to use him pretty heavily. So that's 354 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 2: a backfield that I'm interested in. The Chiefs have a 355 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: confusing situation, you know, with teams coming off by It's 356 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 2: like I always forget what happened and like yeah, like 357 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 2: but the Chiefs, this was a mess right before the 358 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: game obviously, like Isaiah Pacheco was named the starter ahead 359 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: of the Week seven matchup against the forty nine ers 360 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: ahead of Clyde Edwards, E Lair and then Elaire ended 361 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 2: up with the our game. But Jerck McKinnon has seen 362 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 2: the most snaps of everyone, so it's kind of a 363 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 2: mess there. I mean, there's they've got a somewhat nice 364 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 2: three game stretch coming up, so they may be worth 365 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 2: looking at. Caleb Huntley is another name. I just don't 366 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 2: like that he's not involved in the passing game at all, 367 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: so that kind of limits his upside. Like I'd rather 368 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: have Algier if he's out there in your leagues. But 369 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 2: Caleb Huntley four percent rostered. He did see sixteen carries 370 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: for ninety one yards, but they won't be facing the 371 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: Panthers every week. So do you have any other names 372 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: that would be on your Radar's running back? 373 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: So many messes I don't want. 374 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 3: I don't want Caleb Huntley because isn't Actually I might 375 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 3: take a leogancy if Corderol Patterson is available in the league, 376 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 3: if anyone's dropped him. He's supposed to be back soon, 377 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 3: but I don't know that I'd really want any of them. 378 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 3: Once they're all splitting carries, then it looks like the Chiefs, 379 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 3: but you know, lesser offense. The interesting thing about if 380 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: cam Akers doesn't get traded, there was a report that 381 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 3: he would come back to the Rams and they would 382 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 3: start to work him back into the But otherwise I 383 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: do like kyn Williams because I think there is the 384 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 3: potential for someone to emerge eron and the guys that 385 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 3: I really like. Unfortunately, there's so many teams on a 386 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 3: by right now that you probably need someone who can 387 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 3: help you right now. But we are getting very close 388 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 3: to the time where there's a lot of interesting people 389 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 3: who I like as the number two that would be 390 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: a clear number one if something happened to them one. 391 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: But they're also getting some work. 392 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 3: As a number two right now, and that includes Jalen Warren, 393 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 3: who you know, I don't think you like anything you're 394 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 3: seeing from the run game in Pittsburgh, but they keep 395 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 3: working him into the mix. And if anything happened to 396 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 3: Naja Harris, he would clearly be the guy. Rashad White, 397 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 3: I think we've mentioned almost every week here he keeps 398 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 3: biting into Leonard Fournette's time, and Leonard Fournette isn't lighting 399 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 3: the world on fire. Obviously, Alexander Madison falls into that category. 400 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: Don Trell Hilliard is an interesting one. When Tennessee ran 401 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 3: for about four hundred yards this week, it was like 402 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 3: three hundred of them where Derrick Henry, but like the 403 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: other the rest of it was Don Well, he would 404 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 3: obviously have a huge role if anything happened there. So 405 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 3: those are all guys that are kind of interesting. Dearanis 406 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 3: Johnson just in case, Well, we'll know, we'll know if 407 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 3: Gareem Hunk gets traded before most waiver wire pickups are due. 408 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 3: And I guess Touba Hubbard falls into this category now 409 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: that deontaey Foreman has become the man there, But it 410 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 3: was just a week ago that Tuba Hubbard was the 411 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 3: starter who got more snaps and gets all the work 412 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 3: in the passing game. So he's going to be involved 413 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 3: no matter what, and and could theoretically still take that 414 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 3: backfield over. And I'll say James Cook is another one 415 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 3: who Obviously Buffalo is not going to force James Cook 416 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 3: into the mix, but I think he had his most 417 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 3: glimpses of what he could potentially be last night. 418 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and what a great performance from what Sean Kerner 419 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 2: coined on convince me as a dollar store Derrick Henry, 420 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: that is just done the foreman. Yeah, certainly, definitely a 421 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 2: waiver wire s you're there, so there are definitely we 422 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 2: that you can get guys. It's just this happens to 423 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 2: be a rougher week for the running backs, so at 424 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 2: least you know, the wide receivers look a little better. 425 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 2: Romeo Dobbs had a nice game. Alan Lazard's out with 426 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: his ankle injury, and Christian Watson was banged up in 427 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: the game in the concussion protocol, so unclear if he's 428 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: going to miss any time. But they've got the Lions 429 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 2: on deck this week, so obviously this is just a 430 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 2: matchup that you definitely want to have some exposure to. 431 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: Not that the Packers have looked that great, but if 432 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: he's the only guy there, certainly feels like he could 433 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: be streamable. Tarras Marshall not a lot of good takeaways 434 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: from this game. I mean, obviously DJ Moore was phenomenal 435 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: and he's looking like he can be fairly quarterback proof, 436 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: which is great for people that drafted djmore. Tara's Marshall, though, 437 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 2: also had a pretty nice game. Four catches the nine 438 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 2: targets for eighty seven yards, currently the wide receiver twenty three, 439 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: obviously his best performance of the year. I think he's 440 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: going to see an uptaken target because Christian McCaffrey's gone 441 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: and DJ Moore can't carry all the water, you know, 442 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 2: So it certainly feels like Terrace Marshall could be the guy. 443 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: I mean, he was an impressive prospect out of college. 444 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 2: It's easy to sometimes forget when guys don't have a 445 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: very strong first year, but he's a guy that I 446 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: think could emerge. Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter are definitely 447 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 2: really they should be pretty high on your priority. Keenan 448 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 2: Allen's got this hamstring injury and he did nothing in 449 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 2: Week seven. Maybe he might be a little bit better 450 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 2: coming off the buy, but he's unpredictable because he's just 451 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 2: so angry, prone and getting up there in age. And 452 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 2: Mike Williams has an ankle sprain so he could definitely 453 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 2: miss some time there. So Josh Palmer could be the 454 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: wide receiver one and the charters for now, and DeAndre 455 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: Carter had a good game in Week seven heading into 456 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 2: the by Garrett Wilson is someone that pops up on 457 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 2: here a lot. It's like, I want him so badly 458 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 2: to do well because he's just so talented, and it 459 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 2: just makes me mad that obviously Zak Wilson had tanked 460 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: his He did have a nice game, but I mean, 461 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: oh my god, watching Zach Wilson is just like an 462 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: absolute train wreck, Mike. It just it was terrible. So 463 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 2: I don't know how much exposure you want to have 464 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 2: in this offense. Obviously they've got the Bills and a 465 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 2: buyer and the Patriots next, So not as an attractive ad, 466 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: but anyone on your list that you really. 467 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 3: Like, well, yeah, I like Garrett Wilson because only better 468 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 3: things can happen for him. I mean, it was good 469 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 3: to see that he had production with Zach Wilson. But 470 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 3: either one the Jets might try to save their season 471 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 3: by turning back to Joe Flaco at some point, or 472 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 3: Zach Wilson might realize that he's competing against whoever the 473 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 3: Jets might draft next year and needs to prove he 474 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: can get the ball to the first round pick. So 475 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 3: one way or another, I think getting the ball to 476 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson has to be a top priority for this 477 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 3: team in the second half of this season. I'm less 478 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 3: confident in Romeo Dubbs because you know, I think we've 479 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 3: seen so much inconsistency out of him that he is 480 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 3: absolutely the definition of a player that when you do 481 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 3: finally start him, that when he gets the zero catches, 482 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 3: and that was because of both Alan Lazard and Christian 483 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 3: Watson being hurt in that game. I am so fascinated 484 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 3: to see if Green Bay tries to add a receiver 485 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: at the trade deadline, but we've never seen Green Bay 486 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 3: show any interest in investing in the wide receiver position. 487 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 3: I also had Terras Marsha on my list. I wouldn't 488 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 3: have any real confidence in him to produce on a 489 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 3: consistent basis, But I think he's going to number two 490 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 3: snaps on a consistent basis, which is a great sign 491 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 3: for somebody who has the pedigree that he has. Yeah, 492 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 3: there was a lot of talk about him being a 493 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 3: first round draft pick last year, and so we'd be 494 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 3: talking about him in the same light if he hadn't 495 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 3: kind of fallen under the radar. Josh Palmer might be 496 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 3: my favorite one on this list. I can't believe he's 497 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 3: only twenty five percent. Rostered dropped a lot, but exactly, 498 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 3: and then people might forget about him because he just 499 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 3: have a big week, So that could be a sneaky 500 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 3: great pickup on the waiver wire. I forgot to mention 501 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 3: mikol Hardman when we were talking about how crowded is 502 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: in Kansas City. I don't know how you save through 503 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: Kansas City. Uh. 504 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: Darius Slayton is interesting. 505 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 3: I've been touting one d Robinson the last couple of weeks, 506 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 3: so it's hard to tout Darius Slayton at the same time. 507 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 3: But he's done it three out of the last four 508 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 3: weeks now, so so there's something they like about him there. 509 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 3: And and I see you have Paris Campbell and Out 510 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 3: Pierce on the list. But I think our worst fears 511 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 3: kind of came true with with Sam Ellinger that did 512 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 3: that did not help their passing volume, so it's a 513 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 3: little harder to trust those guys. 514 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a couple of uh not great date 515 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: starting debuts. Malik Willis got like negative seapoints or something 516 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: like that. So yes, yeah, right now. Yeah, someone had 517 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 2: said that they needed a replacement for Matt Ryan this 518 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 2: scene and they were like the answer, like Ina, they 519 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 2: started Moliku Walis and they were like, and I should 520 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 2: have just started matt Ravan so he to see that hopefully, 521 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: you know, I mean they're young, the better days are ahead. 522 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 2: Let's just say so. All right, Well, let's move on 523 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 2: to the tight end position. We did talk about Isaiah 524 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 2: Likely at the beginning of the show. He is five 525 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: percent rostered currently the tight end two heading into Monday Night. 526 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: Six of seven targets for seventy seven yards and a 527 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 2: touchdown led the team in all receiving categories because we've 528 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 2: got Rashad Bateman and Mark Andrews ain't up in that game, 529 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 2: so he could definitely be the top priority if it 530 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 2: looks like Mark Andrews. But like you said, it's a 531 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 2: gamble going into Tuesday night, not really knowing what the 532 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 2: status is for Mark Andrews, but he could definitely be 533 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 2: a lottery ticket with that receiving course. So banged up 534 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: other guys, I like Evan Ingram of the Jaguars could 535 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 2: have had two touchdowns honestly in that game. But he's 536 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: the tight end eight on a per game basis. Since 537 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 2: week five, he's got a lot of targets and he's 538 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 2: got the Raiders and Chiefs on back next, so love 539 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 2: those matchups before thereby and then finally Greg Dulsich. I mean, 540 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: they're going on by this week. But if you need 541 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 2: a tight end, I mean, I don't think it's a 542 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: bad idea to add this guy, especially if you have 543 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: this space, because he's currently the tight end eight, caught 544 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 2: four of I passes for eighty seven yards tight end 545 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 2: four on a per game basis since joining the team 546 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 2: in week six. I mean, it's like it's a short 547 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: list of guys that are better than him and that 548 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 2: short span. So I certainly think that he could be 549 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 2: worth to ad and they get the tightened than Raiders 550 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 2: after thereby. 551 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like Doch a lot for you know, this 552 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 3: might be a hard week to stash someone, but that 553 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 3: offense can only get better down the stretch too, and 554 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 3: it's clearly how highly they think of him. So that 555 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 3: was good to see. Heaven Ingram. I've resisted it for 556 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 3: so long, but I guess. 557 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 2: If you were to burns everyone for so long. 558 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 3: It's the most consistent. Like, you know, he hasn't had 559 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 3: this Tyler Conklin two touchdown game that we just saw. 560 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: He's not like all over the map. He's just like 561 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: doing it every week. 562 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 3: And if you just want to set it and forget 563 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 3: it at tight end and stop doing the you know, 564 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 3: streamer thing every week, then then maybe he's the safe 565 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 3: option on this list. Yeah, Tyler Conklin, I feel like 566 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 3: you'll get burned if you if you, if you chase 567 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 3: the game. He just had so so yeah, you know, 568 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 3: and it was just a really good kind of week 569 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 3: for the tight end position overall. I thought with with 570 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 3: Pitts finally coming through, Dalton Schultz return, you know so 571 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 3: and one name, I guess maybe he's not on this 572 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 3: list because it feels like he should be less than 573 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 3: fifty percent rostered. But when we talked about the trade deadline, 574 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 3: if Mike Yasiki ends up anywhere else, he could be 575 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 3: a really interesting guy to pick up. 576 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ka sicky is I think sixty percent roster, so 577 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 2: it's worth checking. And we did talk about we kind 578 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 2: of mentioned this earlier, but guys like that, you you 579 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 2: wouldn't think we're dropped, were dropped or maybe available just 580 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 2: because people have to make room because of the bibe. 581 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 2: Dawson Knox was dropped in one of my leagues and 582 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: I think he's seventy seven percent rostered pretty much on Yahoo. 583 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,479 Speaker 2: So it's there are guys that will just be dropped 584 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 2: because people are desperate and they need points each week. 585 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 2: So definitely check that out. Yeah, Tyler Complin, I mean 586 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: we talked about him earlier in the season. He was 587 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: definitely better with Joe Flacco, but so was everyone on 588 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 2: this team, so it might be a little rough chasing 589 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 2: those touchdowns. Like, I don't know what you can expect 590 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: from him rest of season. Cole Comette, we had a 591 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 2: Cole Comet sighting finally. I mean, he lives, so maybe 592 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: worth keeping eye on, but I'm not ready to add 593 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 2: him back. I did draft him in one league and 594 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 2: I was happy to cut by it. It was like cathartic. 595 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: Actually, I will add this. 596 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 3: I probably should have mentioned this during the running back time, 597 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 3: but after we talked about two pass catchers having a 598 00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 3: good week in the same week, unthinkable, what a dispppointment 599 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 3: their their backfield is. 600 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: Just seven days ago. 601 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 3: When we were talking, we thought Michael Carter could be 602 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 3: like a uh, you know, put your entire fab bridget 603 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 3: in budget in for Michael Carter and then they go 604 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 3: and trade for James Robinson, I think right after we 605 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 3: were done recording, and then they end up giving like 606 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 3: one third of the snaps to Ty Johnson. So that 607 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 3: is unfortunately not a backfield that I feel like you 608 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 3: can you can invest in. Uh uh, So you can't 609 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 3: invest in their past catchers or their backfield right now? 610 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: How disappointed exactly? 611 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 2: Some teams how you just want nothing to do with 612 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: And I just I just miss Breese Hall. It's it's 613 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 2: it's that I had him on a team that I 614 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 2: also well, actually I thought I lost DK Metcalf and 615 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 2: dude has a but some kind of tell attendant thing 616 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 2: that people waying was going to take weeks to return. 617 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 2: He comes back and looks phenomenal. I actually had to 618 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 2: start him in one leg, like I one league. I 619 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 2: sat him because I was afraid that he was just 620 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 2: going to be a decoy. But what a significant deep 621 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 2: you was. Certainly had a really nice game there. One 622 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: other name I will mention Harris and Bryant. Obviously the 623 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: Browns have not played yet, but he is eight percent 624 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: rostered and David Njoku is out with the high ankle sprain. 625 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 2: So he was doing pretty well for the Browns and 626 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 2: they've got Deshaun Watson potentially coming back in I don't 627 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 2: know a few weeks, so at least in time for 628 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: the Fantasy playoffs. But yeah, that's pretty much pretty much it. 629 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: I think that'll do it for all the Waiver Wire 630 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 2: this week.
