Fantasy Football Daily - Can We Actually Start Zach Wilson and Top Week 5 Adds | Waiver Wire Podcast

Episode Date: October 3, 2023

Joe Dolan (@FG_Dolan) and Tom Brolley (@TomBrolley) are forced to sift through a relatively barren waiver wire, complicating the start of 2023 NFL bye weeks. They discuss Jaleel McLaughlin, Jameson Williams... and if Zach Wilson is a viable QB streamer this week.

It's time to the Fantasy Points podcast brought to you by Fantasy Points.com. Top level fantasy football and NFL betting analysis from every perspective and angle, from numbers to the film room with a single goal to help you score more fantasy points. Five weeks are here for the 2023 fantasy football season, and that means you're going to be working the Waverwire. Welcome to the Waver Wire podcast. My name is Joe Dolan, and I am with Mr. Tom Brawley. as I always am on a Tuesday morning.

T-Bro, week five of the NFL season, four teams are on by. We have the L.A. Chargers, the Cleveland Browns, the Tampa Bay Bucks, and the Seattle Seahawks all going on by. And while some teams are obviously better for fantasy than others, each of those teams has some fantasy-relevant players. You might be looking to replace this week. We've got some injuries that we need to talk about. There's actually a couple injuries on those teams. Yeah. So their bye weeks are actually coming at good times.

What's going on this week, T-Bro? It's a waiver wire here that I think people are going to have to be active on, as they always are, when there are by weeks, but certainly doesn't look the most robust this week out there. No, it's kind of a tough waiver wire. There were some big injuries, but I don't know if we're going to get too many difference-making players off the waiver wire this week.

You know, one big piece of news we'll get to, you know, Jameson Williams is suspension. got reduced from six to four games. T. Higgins fractured his ribs so he could miss a couple of games. All three of those quarterbacks from Cleveland, Los Angeles, and Seattle. They all got kind of banged up this week and Deshaun actually missed outright. So you're right. Those teams really needed a biweek.

Mike Evans on Tampa Bay picked up a hamstring injury. So he'll be on by. Hopefully he'll be able to come back by week six. So, yeah, biweeks are coming at the right time for a couple of those teams. And, yeah, a couple other injuries we're watching. You know, Matt Stafford picked up a hip injury in that game. It seems like he'll be ready to go. But, yeah, there's, you know, Devante Adams had a shoulder injury as well, played through it.

But, yeah, just a number of situations. Nothing like season ending. But it's the stuff we got to monitor in the upcoming weeks here. So we have Justin Herbert on by. we have Deshawn Watson on by. Gino's on by. I guess not a whole lot of people were using Baker, but there are some usable quarterbacks who are on by this week, Tom.

So we're actually going to start with the quarterback position on the waiver wire. A guy who's rostered in just about 50% of leagues, we don't have to talk about too much as C.J. Stroud. We've obviously discussed him in past weeks, how well he's been playing. But in most competitive leagues, he seems to be rostered, Tom. If you need somebody this week to fill in for Herbert, though, look, we have, the bears are a go after him defense. I thought Sam Howe played a really scrappy game against the Eagles this past week. He was sacked five times, but the bears are not the kind of team that's going to get after the

quarterback too much. He's available in about 80% of Yahoo Leagues. Tom, Sam Howe is shaping up to be a top 15 quarterback option this week. Yes, he is. I mean, we kind of coined him. Graham came up with it on the Market Report podcast, but Sam Hall, maybe he's Baker-Mayfield Light or plus, depending on how you look at it. He ran a little bit more this week. That was always in his arsenal at North Carolina. His last season there, he ran for a ton of yards.

So he ran a little bit this past week in an overtime game. A bit of a tough spot for Washington. They play the overtime game against a very physical Eagles team. I have to play on Thursday night. So, but yeah, he's, he had that one clunker in week three. It looked terrible. The four interceptions against the bills, you know, his epitaph was being written. You know, commanders were major underdogs in that Eagles game because of that performance the

week before. And they actually led for a good chunk of that game, had a chance to win it. Ron Rivera decided not to go for two for some reason at the end of that game. and end up losing in overtime. But I think for the most part, fans in Washington are probably happy about their quarterback situation a little bit more than some other teams right now. Maybe the team that's up the road there in New York there after watching Daniel Jones and his $160 million contract last night.

But yeah, how this week against the Bears? And he's got some pretty beatable spots in the future here as well. Atlanta, the Giants, and then he goes up against the Eagles again. So I think he could be viable, especially if you're at a Q2 QB leg or like a super flex leg. He should be owned by now. But if you need to stream him here for this next week, and yeah, he's very viable against the bears. Josh Dobbs for the Cardinals. He's going up against the Bengals this week.

I don't really view it as a terribly restrictive matchup. The Bengals are god awful. The problem is he might not need to throw up. whole lot to keep up with the Bengals because the Bengals can't play offense right now. So I guess Josh Dobbs might be next on the waiver wire in terms of appeal, but not too sure about that one, Tom. Yeah, I like Dobbs. I mean, he's playing really well. It was a disaster the first week of the season, but that was like explainable. It comes in just a little less than two weeks before then really struggles in that game. But since then, he's been moving around a little bit,

you know, adding a little extra with his rushing ability. And he's developed a bit of a chemistry here with Marquis Brown the last couple of of week, Michael Wilson, who will touch on a little bit later, has been emerging as a rookie receiver over the last couple of weeks. So, and it doesn't sound like Kyler Murray is anywhere. I mean, they've been very vague about the whole situation. It doesn't sound like he's on the precipice of returning here this week. He's eligible.

He's on the PUP list, had to miss at least the first four games. So I will see if he returns to practice. But all indications are from the Cardinals that is not coming anytime soon. So Dobbs is a guy that you can pick up here. Maybe you have three straight games with 17 fantasy points. And if you're a Watson owner, a Herbert owner, Gino Smith owner, if you can just get, you know, 17 fantasy points, I think you'd sign up for that right now. So I guess my one concern would be that, you know, the Bengals offense is just so bad right now that it might not be a higher scoring game. But we've seen Cardinals games.

You know, they've turned into some shootouts here. And we saw them play, you know, it was a they didn't cover against the 49ers, but they were moving the ball on them. A very good defense. They beat the Cowboys outright, one of the best defenses in the league. So the degree of difficulty that Dobbs has faced, the last. last couple of weeks is up there at the top of the league. So I've been very impressed. I think he's a guy if you can't get Sam Howe this week.

I'll be looking towards him. Some on the lower end, Tom. And again, we're not going to talk about everybody out there. But I think we were talking about the Bears being a go after him defense. Oh, no. Dare we? Are we doing it? Dare we pick up Zach Wilson and start him against the Broncos this week.

after he played pretty freaking well on Sunday night football against the Chiefs. I mean, Justin Fields was dead through three weeks. And then he goes out and throws for 335 yards and four touchdowns against this Burkos defense. So yeah, I think we have to consider it. The offense for the Jets finally found a little bit of rhythm. He was spreading the ball around, got Garrett Wilson going a little bit. Tyler Conklin, Alan Lazzard. just it looked like a performance that we hadn't seen.

You know, if I was putting money on it, I'm going to guess that Wilson's going to revert back to his old form at some point. But maybe he's, you know, feel a little bit better about himself. And this is certainly a spot that, you know, a lot of quarterbacks have succeeded in so far this season. So it takes some balls to do this, but, you know, you might be in a spot where you don't have many options. and, you know, Zach Wilson's only 4% owned, so he's widely available.

I would prefer Dobbs. I would go Dobbs first. I think his buddy work has been far more impressive through four weeks of the season. But if I miss out on Dobbs, this, you know, we're not blowing a lot of fab or waiver position here. So you might not even put a waiver claim in and you're just looking to pick this guy up tomorrow after waivers run through. So if somebody would beat you to the punch on Dobbs, I think Wilson,

is, you know, a backup plan. Let's go to the running back spot, Tom. And the top guy we have on the WaverWire this week, and we're not really sure what his role is going to be, because there are some questions on Javante Williams' availability with a hip flexor, which our Dr. Edwin-Porris has described as kind of a groin strain, like where it depends on just how you describe it. He might play this week.

He might not play this week. Nonetheless, there is a young man in that backfield. He's a rookie at a Youngstown State. Jaliel McLaughlin, who's got some burst to him, clearly has more explosiveness than Samaj P. Ryan, and certainly more than this version of Javante Williams, who's still working his way back from the serious knee injury he had last week. I've liked what I've seen from McLaughlin. This is a guy who Broncos beatwriters were saying back in August was making plays and impressing in training camp. The Broncos would not subject him to the waiver wire, so they kept him on the

active roster. He is rostered in just 2% of the Yahoo Leagues, and he is going to be be one of the most picked up players in all of fantasy football this week. Could he be? Sean Payton's new, Darren Sproulston. Well, we'll see. It might be a little early for that, but I mean, he's kind of built like him. He's, you know, smaller frame, 5-7, 187 pounds. So that immediately, I don't know if he's going to be a 15 to 20 carry kind of guy, but he's certainly explosive. They should, you know, try to, you know, orchestrate some targets and some touches for him moving forward. I thought it was kind of interesting in that game. Piron kind of stayed in his role as kind of like the passing back.

He certainly took on a couple extra carries. But McLaughlin, when they were kind of using him as like an early down type of back, we'll see if that plan changes a little bit with if Javante is indeed rolled out. We'll see about him. You know, this could be a tough situation. I honestly think we might be seen that this might develop into a three-way backfield moving forward, which would be an absolute. Yeah, he's been known to do these type of things. And we're seeing it with his receivers right now. We got Brandon Johnson playing ahead of Marvin Mims.

And, you know, he loves to do committees at all his positions. So, but McLaughlin is a guy here, brought some juice. He scored two touchdowns the last couple of weeks. Certainly has caught his eye. And, you know, if Javante is indeed out, we're getting pinched by some bywe. So he might be a low end RB2 this week. I would prefer playing P-Rine if I had the option, just because he does get the passing game work. I think he would be, if they're on top of the goal line, I think he would get the carries.

He's 52% owned. So he's probably owned in most 12-team legs, but he might be out there and some 10-team legs. But McLaughlin is certainly a guy who's starting to emerge here a little bit and has caught the eye of Sean Payton so far this season. moving down the board just a little bit, T-Bro, somebody who, he's actually rostered in way more leagues than I mean. I know. That shocked me when I put him into the report. I was like,

he's rostered in 17% of Yahoo Leagues, despite never playing. He doesn't have a carry. He doesn't have an active game. And he's undrafted too. It's not like he's a prospect either. Yeah, Keaton Mitchell from the Baltimore Ravens. I just think people view the Ravens as a team that can run the ball.

and I'm not really sure how true that's been the last couple of years, mostly because every running back they put out there gets injured, or they bring in somebody who's a complete scrub. They probably should have just kept Latavius Murray, quite frankly, who is ageless. But the Ravens Tom, Keaton Mitchell, he's rostered in 17% of leagues, which is stunning to me. But at some point, he's going to be activated here. He opened the year on IR with a shoulder injury.

and the Ravens are maybe groping for something at the running back position. So a lot of fantasy managers are as well. So maybe Keaton Mitchell's out there for you. Yeah, this is one. We're just stashed. And as we said, this waiver wire is kind of thin, especially at the running back position. So this is a week to probably look for more for stashes.

And Mitchell could be that guy. John Harbaal said this week that, you know, he was kind of vague about it. He could return to practice. But, you know, he's served. his time on IR. He's put his four games in on there. So he's open to start practicing. We'll see on Wednesday. We'll get the full scope if he's able to play. I wouldn't not, you know, he's a undrafted player. They have a couple veterans in front of them. I don't see him coming out and instantly like leading this backfield. But it could be one of those where he slowly grows a role.

And by the time we look up in like week eight, you know, he's kind of taken the Justice Hill position. because I think Gus Edwards is probably going to stick as their power back early downrunner. But Justice Hill has been getting a lot of snaps and more in the passing situations. So maybe he can usurp him there. You know, maybe we get him into RB2 range. This is another smaller back. I believe he was under 180 pounds. But he can absolutely fly.

He finished with the third fastest time at the combine at the running back. positioned by behind these guys you may have heard of Devon A. Chan and Jemir Gibbs. So pretty good company for Keaton Mitchell there. So he can absolutely fly. This backfield does need some explosiveness with J.K. Dobbins out of the mix. So maybe Mitchell can find a role here in the next couple of weeks. Chuba Hubbard rostered in 25% of Yahoo Leagues. This Panther offense just does not look good at all.

And Chuba Hubbard is not really a player I've been high on in the past. Yeah. But if you need some checkdowns, Miles Sanders really hasn't been able to get going. Sanders has been dealing with a groin injury. He's never been shy about joining the injury report, Tom. So maybe Chuba Hubbard's out there. Yeah, if we see Sanders on the injury report again this week, maybe that bumps up Chuba a little bit.

And game kind of worked into his hands a little bit and he led the backfield in snaps. And, you know, this is, this is going to be a bad team. They have worked Sanders into the passing game, but Hubbard kind of works. Yeah, I mean, they're kind of just like splitting all the work, like kind of right down the middle of, you know, the carries. And especially when Sanders has been banged up here. So we're really desperate for some for some help this week and just looking for a back who might get some touches. Maybe Hubbard's your guy. And, you know, I don't, I don't think they're going to have much success.

This lion's run defense has played really well this. you know, since the back half of last year and through the early part of this season. So maybe they are forced to throw it a little bit more. And maybe Hubbard can get you three or four catches in the passing game. Let's move to the wide receiver position where we got some good NFL suspension news. Yeah, I can't happen. Yeah, that's an envelope. It's like, whoa.

I mean, usually it's like, yeah, the, you know, suspended for the year or, you know, suspension's been extended. Yeah, we got a reduced suspension. That was some friendly news last Friday. Yeah, so a lot of folks were complaining when Jameson Williams was suspended that six games for placing a bet on a non-NFL game seemed a little bit aggressive. And I think the suspension was almost entirely because Tom, he made the bet at a team facility, which, look, I get it. Like, you cannot compromise the integrity of the game. And people are always complaining, oh, you know, the NFL's.

And yeah, but the, if you're a bartender, you can't drink on the job. Like, you know, there's some of these. I mean, some do. Yeah, I was going to say, I've been to some bars we're here. Oh, for sure. You know, like there's just certain things you can't do. And betting is one of them in the NFL, okay? I don't play in the NFL.

If I did, I wouldn't be doing this podcast right now. I certainly wouldn't need the money, at least. But Jameson Williams, the NFL tended to agree. Okay, he bet on a college game or something at the facility. Okay, we're going to reduce the suspension to four games. I think the Titans, Petit Frere, the offensive lineman also had his suspension reduced, which is good news for the Titans, Tom,

because their offensive line blows. James is actually available in 70% of Yahoo Leagues. I think people were just like, you can't put them on IR, so it's like I can't have this hole for a guy who has one career catch on my, for a touchdown, by the way, for my, I just can't have this guy on my shallow bench, all of a sudden, a lot of waiver claims are going to go out.

And we have heard, we have been told, that he was uncoverable in practice this summer. The Lions are obviously a good offense, but their number two target has really been Sam Leporta. There is a room here for a deep threat to take the top off the defense, and Amon-Ross, St. Brown and Leporta work underneath. I think James' ceiling is probably as a wide receiver three,

but a wide receiver three who kind of like Gabe Davis has the ability to blow up in a week. And maybe one week he gets you six and the next week he gets you 16. That might be him. But James and William should be rostered in virtually every league after hearing about his suspension being reduced.

Yeah, and there was a lot of hype around the 2020 draft that he was the best wide receiver prospect and he suffered an ACL injury in the national championship game. And the Lions still selected him early in the draft. I think it was 12th overall or wherever it was. It was pretty damn high still, even with the guy that they knew was probably going to have to miss most of the last season.

And they did kind of redshirt them, played just 78 snaps. They, you know, brought them along real slow, you know, with an eye to the future here. And they were, you know, the hype was building this, you know, up in right after the season in February, March, and April. And then the suspension news came down right before the draft. And the hype slowed down quite a bit. And his draft position fell by multiple rounds. And he was going after 100 picks then. But now that the suspension's been reduced, maybe we,

I do think it's going to be slow here. I mean, this is a guy that's essentially a rookie still. It might take a couple of games. He's been away from the team facility. I think the Lions have had some issues with him. And that isn't just the gambling suspension. He also had hamstring issues in training camp. So hopefully that's all taken care of.

And he's been training on the side and getting that all right. But, you know, certainly in a few weeks, we've seen Josh Reynolds really excel kind of as the vertical threat in this offense through the first four weeks of the seasons. He's had 60 yards and six targets in three of his first four games. So this rule is valuable. And to be completely honest, Jared Goff is. playing like one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now, as crazy as it is to say, he's been a top 10 quarterback.

Amon Ra has been the guy. Sam LaPorter has been one of the best tight ends, but there's certainly a fit for him here and get him out in that turf in Detroit there. He's going to, they're going to give him chances to really open it up and make some plays down the field. So this is one of the best offenses of the league, and we want pieces like this.

that have huge potential. And yeah, Jameson Williams, if he's somehow available in your legs, he's not available in any of my legs. I took a look last Friday and he was taken. But in some of these smaller 10-team leagues, he is probably certainly available. Going a little bit deeper, actually a lot of bit deeper, somebody who's virtually available in every single league. He was a guy who was an auto pick for me in round 18 of underdog best ball drafts this offseason.

looks to be working out pretty good so far. That's Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals. My whole rationale was they're going to be playing from behind a lot and they have no size on the outside. They're a better team than I thought. But Josh Dobbs has also been a better quarterback than I thought he'd be. Remember, at the time I was drafting Michael Wilson, we presume Colt McCoy was going to be the quarterback.

But some of the rationale has worked out. He's a talented guy who blew up the senior bowl, has some size on the outside, can score touchdowns. As we saw, he had a great sliding catch this past weekend against the 49ers. Michael Wilson, available in virtually every league. You can pick him up. And I think he's a great number five wide receiver to have on your bench for these by weeks because he just does something that other cardinal receivers do not.

Yeah. And he's, you know, ascending here. He's improved in each of his first four games and really had his breakout performance last week with the two touchdowns. seven catches overall. So this is a guy that's getting earning, earning more work as the weeks go by. You know, just looking at fantasy points data here. You know, he's leading the team in yards per route run so far, 2.49 yards. Well ahead of Marquise Brown, who's playing exceptionally well. So they're going to get him more chances on the field. He's taking advantage of his looks here. And he's grown with Josh Dobbs.

because, you know, Josh Jobs doesn't have a lot of chemistry with a lot of these receivers. And he's certainly starting to pick up some with Michael Wilson. So, yeah, and there's also the possibility. I mean, the Cardinals have been, I mean, they've been more competitive than we've thought. But they're also signaling that they're tanking since the summer. So, you know, there's a possibility. We had the reports last week that the Panthers are shopping around for wide receiver help. You know, they have Marquis Brown who they could move.

They have Zach Ertz who they can move. So there's the possibility that this receiving court gets thinned out even more in the upcoming weeks. And then all of a sudden maybe Michael Wilson is the number one receiver for a guy like Josh Jobs, who's shown he's at least capable of getting his receivers the ball or potentially in the second half of the season for Kyler Murray, who has had some very relevant performances, maybe not as good in real life. But so Michael Wilson's a guy who could be a second half difference. maker 98% available. So maybe he's not a guy that you're looking to play right away or, you know,

if the buys start hitting you pretty hard, I still think he's a guy that you could plug in and could give you eight to 10 fantasy points in the meantime. All right. So tight end is dog dirt. Hold. Let's hit one more here. Wondale Robinson.

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Good call, Tom. He was a, I mean, when I saw Wondale Robinson out there, he was moving at just a different speed than any other giant. And I mean, their offense is completely broken. And the only way they can create a big play right now is a short pass that goes a long way.

Yes. And we've seen throughout Daniel Jones's career, he's, he's loved to target these slot receivers. I mean, anytime Sterling's Shepard's healthy, you would love to target him in the slot. So, yeah, this offense is completely broken. 10 sacks for Daniel Jones 11 overall last night. we saw them you know the cowboys absolutely wrecked them in week one they have just you know if andrew thomas is going to miss more like they have to scheme up stuff that's short a dot get the ball out quick yeah this is just a broken offense so it might not be pretty but ppr formats wondale

robinson could be good for like four to six catches a week it might only go for 45 yards but he's a guy that probably should be owned at this point. And we'll see. It's frustrating overall with this Giants offense. They are rotating a lot of guys. But maybe at some point they decide to thin it out. And let's give our second year receiver that we drafted in the second round a bigger role here because we need to develop some players. We just gave Daniel Jones a four-year contract.

We need to develop some chemistry with some guys that might be here for the long run. So Wondale Robinson is definitely a guy. who's ascending here and very PPR relevant. So we should also talk about Tyler Boyd. I forgot about him. Oh, yeah, good point, good point, complete, complete, point. Yeah, these receivers.

Yeah, these receivers. There's a few more receivers out here. Yeah, Irv Smith has been banged up and now T. Higgins also fractured his ribs. So we'll see how long he's out. But, you know, friendly match up against the Cardinals this week. If it's only one week, yeah, he's a guy that you probably could pick up and fill in here. 38% on. So it's, you know, more, you know, 10 team leagues.

So, but, you know, this is kind of a broken offense. They're not really generating much downfield. So maybe Tyler Boyd, another one of these guys like Wondell Robinson, who could maybe get you four to six catches and, you know, 40 to 50 to 60 yards and maybe a little bit of touchdown upside if the Bengals can ever sniff the red zone. All right. There was one tight end who I wanted to highlight. I mean, Zacherts.

I think everybody knows what Zacherts is at this point. The Cardinals, he can get you five catches for 27 yards, which is at tight end. Pretty good these days. He might actually start getting dropped this week because they're on by. Donald Parham might have broken his wrist. Obviously, the Chargers already lost Mike Williams. Gerald Everett, available in about two-thirds of Yahoo Leagues probably should be rostered, Tom, at a tight-end position that's just been apocalyptic bad this season. Yeah, he was a guy that generated some hype this summer,

and it really hasn't panned out through the first four weeks of the season. It's been, you know, he's been splitting the work with Donald Parham, but Parham with the wrist injury here, going to miss some time. So maybe, you know, I don't, I don't know if ever it's going to be out there every play, kind of like Keenan Island, but, you know, just even a, you know, if we see 10 more routes a game, that gives them a chance to get, you know, maybe two or three extra targets. So just if Parham's going to miss some time here,

Everett should see an increase in targets. And the state of the tight end position, an extra target or two, an extra catch a game or two can go a long way. It goes a long way at that position. So maybe he can give us four catches for 35 to 40 yards. And that would be pretty exceptional right now at the position. That is the WaverWire podcast here at Fantasy Points.com.

Go check out the Waver Wire article, which Tom, we found out last week, over 90 players listed

in Waver Wire article. Let's see. Let me check it out this week. Let's see how many players are listed this week. Let's say, do, do, do. Oh, yep, we got about 90 listed this week. And that includes kickers and defenses too. So we love going deep on the Waverwire at FantasyPoint.com.

And in a week where there's not a fab blower out there, with the exception to Jameson Williams. Yeah, it's a pretty light week. Sometimes these weeks are more important here to really go deep and to find these guys that might be gems that could develop into players here that we're looking off the, that we would be looking for off the waiver wire in a couple weeks. So, you know, good week to maybe do some rotate and, you know, drop a couple of, you know, those Antonio Gipsons or, you know, whoever's been dead weight on your roster or so far.

Skymore, sorry, Skymore. Yeah, sorry, Skymore. But, yeah, this is the time that, you know, we got a sample size of four games. That's why we're also giving away the fantasy points data. We have a nice sample size at this point. So this is the time to maybe start to trim in the bottom of your roster and picking up a couple of these stashes and hoping for some big things in a couple of weeks.
