This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports. Here we go! Email us at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. Here we go! Let's hit the waiver wire. Let's go! Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Dean. Hey, welcome to Fantasy Football Today.

What's up, everybody? Yeah, Dave Richard is. I can see him through Skype. He's fired up. Could you believe it's week 10 already, everybody? Dave Richard is, I can see him through Skype. He's fired up. Could you believe it's week 10 already, Dave? That's the bad part. Although, if you're trudging through a miserable fantasy season, A, you're probably happy it's week 10,

and B, you're probably not listening right now because your season's over if you're 2 and 8. No, I think people are still listening. Even if it's 2 and 8. Entertaining. Yes. If I'm 2 and 8, I'm moving on to needlepoint. We've had some very good food discussions that people are into lately. I tried a Monte Cristo sandwich yesterday because someone said it should have gone first in the sandwich draft.

And it's great. Is that French toast that it's on? Yeah, basically. They basically make a sandwich and then they French toast-y fry it. Adam? Yeah, basically. They basically make a sandwich and then they French Toasty fry it. Adam? Yes, sir? I just wanted to apologize and thank you for only suspending me

for one show. And I think it's very nice that you gave Jamie the same treatment. I'm glad it's equal treatment. No, Jamie's only suspended for a few minutes. He'll be back. He'll be on the show. I'm sorry.

He didn't punch me in the helmet like you. Jamie will be on very shortly. On by this week, we have Jamie. We have Baltimore, Kansas City, Oakland, and Philadelphia. We'll talk about how many guys, well, just one guy, if he should be stashed through the by. I'll just start with the news now before we get into the waiver wire priorities. Jalen Ramsey will not be suspended as he faces the Chargers this week. AJ Green will not be suspended at Tennessee, but Mike Evans is suspended,

possibly because he didn't get ejected against the Saints. Mike Evans out, so that really hurts Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was a decent streaming option against the Jets, but no Evans. Jameis Winston's going to miss at least two weeks with a shoulder injury. That would be the Jets and then the Dolphins. You think it's going to be just two weeks? At least two weeks. You think it's going to be just at least two weeks?

I don't know. What do I know? Then Atlanta and Green Bay are after that. So are you excited about picking up Ryan Fitzpatrick for the next month, Dave? No, not really. I'm always excited about Fitz. Do you realize how great this revenge game is? Yeah.

It's Fitzmagic revenge against McCown revenge. Oh, I get it. With a side dish of Austin Safarian Jenkins revenge, this is going to be, go ahead and call it right now, Adam. This game is the bonanza. No chance. Guaranteed. Two bad defenses.

How many interceptions? There's going to be so many fantasy points. If you don't call this game the bonanza, No chance. Guaranteed. Two bad defenses. How many interceptions? There's going to be so many fantasy points. If you don't call this game the bonanza, then you're just trying to lose. I like Ryan Fitzpatrick a lot better than Mike Evans. Exactly. And now if Evans is off, I don't know if I like this offense much at all. And the Jets have been playing good. Well, not against quarterbacks, though.

Not really, you know. Tyron Taylor just dropped 30 on them. Do they get Moe Claiborne back, though? I can't get excited about Fitzpatrick without Evans. Yeah, I can't. Deshaun Jackson, Cameron Brait, Luke Stocker. Oh, wow, we forgot about Luke Stocker. All right, you know, it's a shame that this game isn't in New York

because it's in the 30s today, and if it were, I could say, revenge is a dish best served cold. You know, because the weather would be cold. So George Kittle... Dirk Cutter's career is pretty cold right now. You could use that. George Kittle out this week with an ankle injury, so he won't score a touchdown against the Giants.

Des Bryant, day-to-day with knee and ankle injuries. Are you thinking Des will play this week? Yes, I am. But I am also kind of wondering if it's time to stop expecting Dez to be illy. I'm telling you. I've been telling you. You know what, Heath? You know what you should say about him because you say this about guys like this?

He's a tight end. Yeah, he is performing a lot like a tight end. Not great. He needs touchdowns. He a tight end. Not great. He needs touchdowns. He gets them, though. Where are your touchdowns, Desi? But he still scores so many touchdowns. Just go to the end zone.

He still scores so many touchdowns. He had a good game. He had six catches for 73 yards on 11 targets against Chiefs, and he left with an injury. That's the second most yards this season for Des Bryant, by the way. Right, yeah. Which, I mean, in fairness, we just talked about Mike Evans getting suspended. Mike Evans doesn't have a 100-yard game since, like, I don't know, mid-last year?

Reagan era. Got a couple of 90-yarders this year. Des has a 98-yarder against the Rams. All right, moving on. Do you think Ezekiel Elliott's going to play this week? As of now. All right, better question. Don you think Ezekiel Elliott's going to play this week? As of now. All right, better question. Don't drop Alfred Morris, right?

Of course. That was not a question. Okay. Well, I put right and then a question mark at the end. Let's do some waiver wire priorities here. Top three at each position. Heath, you want to kick it off with the quarterbacks? I would love to kick it off with the quarterbacks.

It is a great week to go get yourself a quarterback, not just for this week but for the rest of the season. And that man's name is Eli Manning. Whoa. Whoa. I am excited about adding Eli Manning. He goes to play the San Francisco 49ers this week. Then he gets the Chiefs.

Then he gets Washington, which whatever. Then he gets the Chiefs. Then he gets Washington, which whatever. Then he gets the Raiders. Then he gets the Cowboys. Eli Manning can carry you through the rest of the regular season. Oh, that is bold. I don't know if Eli Manning has ever had a 20 fantasy point game without Odell Beckham. It's possible.

You'd have to look at the beginning of Beckham's career. The first four games. Or in the last two years. Because Eli Manning had a lot of 20 fantasy point games before Odell Beckham even existed. Yeah. Beckham missed like the first four games of his rookie season, I think. I'm guessing Manning did in that stretch. I mean, what did he have last week?

18? 16. Now, he should have had a huge game. He missed on two big touchdowns. They're also talking about perhaps giving Davis Webb some reps. I don't think that's going to happen. Some reps, but to their backup quarterback. It's interesting.

I mean, yeah, you're right about the schedule. No quarterback has scored less than 16 fantasy points against the Niners. So that could be a floor. Not a good floor, but it's a floor. But Eli Manning is going to carry you through the next five weeks. That is one bold prediction, Heath. That is just one, and there's many more coming now. He is first on my priority list.

Second would be Josh McCown, and I like McCown a lot this week. The problem for Josh McCown is he has a bye next week, and he has Carolina the week after that. So he's really just a one-week fix. But he should be very good against the Tampa Bay defense that, quite frankly, has just quit on their coach, their team, their uniforms. But we've seen it before where it looks like teams have quit and the very next week they come out on fire. But I don't care. See, to me, McCown is the number one guy to get.

I'll take him ahead of Eli Manning. But I do acknowledge that if you go and get McCown, you're still streaming and you're going to be in the same dilemma with quarterbacks as you are right now for the next two weeks because you're not going to feel great starting against Carolina in week number 12. 12, right. Well, so, Heath, you like Manning better than McCown this week too? I like Manning better than McCown this week. All right. So Manning, McCown, and then who's three? And then who do you have on your bench?

Like you sure you don't want to start the guy you've already got? I do not like the rest of these guys. I guess if I had to pick one, I don't really want to, but I might. Just don't pick anybody. Yeah, I don't want any of the rest of these guys. Well, Cutler is interesting, I think. 30 fantasy points. Yeah, but he's got that tough matchup at Carolina.

But, you know, one of the things I liked about Cutler this week was they traded Ajayi, and I knew they weren't going to run the ball as well or as often. And he threw 42 passes. He had clearly his best game, but it is much tougher. It's at Carolina. Oakland has such a bad pass defense. I'm not going to get too excited about Cutler against a bad Raiders

defense coming off of a bye at home with what, 10 of those points coming in garbage time? Would you feel better about Cutler if you also got McCown? And then you can use McCown this week against Tampa Bay, and then you can use Jay Cutler next week against Tampa Bay. Just play everybody against Tampa Bay.

It's the Tampa Bay stream. And then New England the next week for Cutler. Yep. All right. So McCown and Eli. So the New Yorkers. How about us? How about us New Yorkers up here?

The two best. And Dave, you like McCown better than Eli? Is Eli number two for you? What's that? Is Eli number two for you this week of the streamers? I suppose he'd be close to there. Okay. He's definitely in the mix.

It's just McCown's number one. Tyrod is no longer. No. And Goff, is Goff considered a streamer now? No. Or is he too highly owned? He's like 88% owned. Forget it.

He's not in the mix either. So, yeah. Eli would be number two. Oh, Dalton. Dalton, 75% owned. Forget it. He's not in the mix either. So, yeah, Eli would be number two. Oh, Dalton. Dalton, 75% owned. Drop him. No, he's got the Titans. That's great.

Drop him. What? No, he's good in these good matchups. What do you mean, drop him? He's got AJ Green. He's generally good against these good matchups, and I do think that AJ Green may just have a monster double birds to the whole world game. He's going to need somebody to throw him the football.

I mean, look. It's the same quarterback he's had his entire career. How many monster games does he have? Dalton struggled at Pittsburgh in Week 7, at Jacksonville in Week 9 without A.J. Green. Are we surprised by that? No. He scored 22 fantasy points against the Col Pittsburgh in Week 7, at Jacksonville in Week 9 without A.J. Green. Are we surprised by that? No. He scored 22 fantasy points against the Colts in Week 8. I mean, we just talked about how bad the streaming options are.

How is Andy Dalton not even a consideration? Because he stinks. I don't know, man. Was that gurgling? There was no gurgle. I didn't hear a gurgle. That was Heath, right? It wasn't me.

I gurgle plenty, but that one wasn't. Definitely a gurgle. All right, let's go on to running backs. I was going to have Jamie do the running backs this week. Well, he's walking in. Oh, okay. Very slowly. I can give you the sneak preview.

Give me a J. Give me an A. Can I spell his whole name before he gets the headset on? No, he's already in the room. Give me an M. Give me an E. Give me me an E Give me a Y There's Jamie Hey Dave Heath, did you guys have a good weekend?

It was alright You know, it wasn't bad I won in a bunch of my leagues, that was good Yeah, nice Helps to have a good weekend We're getting into running backs now Alright Yeah, nice. Helps. Nice. Helps to have a good weekend. All right, so anyway. Got to see Adam Azer for a little bit. We're getting into running backs now. All right.

And there's an interesting group because, Jamie, if you read the column, Jamie has the owned in more than 65% of leagues group, which includes Forte, Darkwa, James White, who's 76% owned, Tariq Cohen, Darren McFadden is somebody you could look at. Not a great option. Duke Johnson, Javoris Allen, who's on a buy this week. So that's your widely owned group. Jamie on headset. Yeah, you there? Yep. Hi.

Hi. Who are your waiver wire priorities at running back this week? Thomas Falls will be one, just with the thought that he's going to start. Not great. There's not really a great group this week, but he should have a good opportunity on a short week against Arizona. He actually ran well last week, so if you want to buy into maybe Dwayne Brown being there, nine carries for 39 yards. And then Damian Williams is just criminal that he's only 1-50%.

Shared the same amount of work essentially with Kenya Drake. Both had six catches, but I don't know if you want to start Williams this week, but he certainly should be owned. Williams is at Carolina. We know how good they are against running backs. They did allow their first receiving touchdown to a running back last week. That was against Atlanta. It was Tevin Coleman's only catch.

So Rawls, Damian Williams, and then we can talk about the other guys like Riddick and Burkhead later, but if there was a player who was maybe in shallower leagues, a Forte or a Darkwa or a James White, who would you go with there? Forte for sure. I mean, just a great matchup this week against Tampa Bay. He's coming off a strong game with two touchdowns, has extra time to prepare, so old legs should be fresh. It's a good spot for him, certainly for a one-week situation,

and then hopefully they continue to do what they're doing, which is give both guys work or all three guys work. But he's been very good. And Darkwood's got a great matchup too. You're going to see him against San Francisco. It looks like he's the lead guy in the backfield for the Giants. He could end up scoring and having a really good game, number two running back this week. Yeah, I agreed too quickly.

I would take Darkwood over Forte, but I like both of them more than anybody else on the list. And those guys are going to be available in leagues. I mean, Forte is 69% owned. Dark was 72% owned. And just to clarify, I think you just said it, Heath, but we like them better than Rawls and Damian Williams. Yes. All right. I got another running back.

Sorry, just let me – Williams or Rawls in PPR? Rawls this week. Yeah. Okay. All right, Dave, who would you like to discuss? I'd like to speculate on two if I can have the floor.

One is Rex Burkhead, who you mentioned, and the other one is Devante Booker, who I think could take over for C.J. Anderson at some point before the season ends.

Love the idea of stashing both. Rex particularly in a PPR league. Okay. All right, then. Wide receiver is dave richards today dave wide receiver wide receiver today is that what you said yes sir that you are okay i think robert woods has another great matchup this week for the rams continues to get a lot of targets and catches 25 own definitely room for him to have another good week if you miss out on him last week.

Kind of fluky how he had his numbers, but you'll take it. Marquis Goodwin looks like he's the number one receiver for San Francisco. Great matchup against the Giants with or without Janoris Jenkins. The way that he plays, he's a deep ball receiver. The question is, who's going to get him the deep ball? Is it going to be Beathard? It's a bit of a risk, but I like his upside. Two Titans receivers, titans in general

i think if you can't pick them up off the waiver wire i think you could trade for them they've got a pretty nice schedule the rest of the way cory davis 58 owned richard matthew 61 owned i think they could be definitely uh helpful for fantasy owners moving forward and then last but not least this is for deeper leagues deontay thom of Buffalo. Yes, they acquired Kelvin Benjamin. Yes, Zay Jones got hurt. Yes, Zay Jones scored a touchdown last week. And yes, he still has a terrible catch rate. Deontay Thompson's been good for them two of their last three games.

And I can't help but wonder if he's going to end up starting as that number three receiver and an outside receiver when they go to a three-receiver formation. So you've got Robert Woods, you've got Marquise Goodwin, you have the Tennessee wide receivers, deeper leagues, you have Deontay Thompson. First question, what if Robbie Anderson's available? I'd go, I'd get Robbie first. Yep. Okay, second question, why Woods number one in that group ahead of Goodwin?

Well, I understand ahead of Goodwin. Why ahead of Rashard Matthews, who was what, like the number 12 wide receiver in fantasy last year in standard and led the team in targets last week, scored a touchdown? Why Woods ahead of him? It's just more for this week. I like Woods' matchup better this week. Okay. Yeah, the Titans have Cincinnati this week, the Rams have Houston this week.

All right, great. So there's some names for you. Later on, we'll tell you. Josh Gordon, we'll tell you about when to pick him up. Danny Amendola. All right. Danny Amendola. Maybe the Cowboys guys.

Obviously, if Dez Bryant doesn't play, then it opens up a lot of opportunity for Williams and for Beasley. They're at Atlanta. And Mohamed Sanu might be available. He's 81% owned. That would be shallower leagues. Let's go to tight ends and back to Heath Cummings. Heath, give me your top three waiver wire tight ends. Well, I've got two again. We've got a couple of guys that are expected to be coming back from extended absences. Charles Clay, we all remember how great he was early in the season. And he has very nice matchup this week against the saints just 28

owned if he plays he's going to be my top 10 tight ends and that'll probably be true each and every week okay and then the smart hat is coming back cj fedorowicz four percent owned he's more of a deeper league option you'd like he's not going to get all the targets at tight end steven and Anderson will get a few. They like to mix it up just a little bit, but I think Fedorowicz could still be a borderline top 12 guy rest of season. He was somebody I really liked coming into the year. And then it kind of depends on what you need.

The Dolphins are not very good at covering tight ends. Ed Dixon did nothing last week without Kelvin Benjamin, but I'm not ready to give up on Ed Dixon just because of that. If you need somebody this week, he would be my third choice. If you need somebody rest of season, Greg Olson, not going to play this week, has a bye next week, and then all indications are he should be back for the Jets and the Saints. Yeah, a lot of these tight ends have good matchups going forward. And I just want to say one thing about what Heath said to back him up.

Because you might see, you know, Heath said that Klay is a good matchup. And then you might say, well, the Saints, they only, they allow the six fewest fantasy points to tight ends. But really, they haven't faced good ones since weeks one and two. Weeks one and two, they gave up a touchdown to Kyle Rudolph, a huge game, and a touchdown to Gronkowski. So, yeah, I don't know that they're really the sixth best against tight ends. Then he's got a pretty tough matchup at the Chargers, but after that, it's great. And, you know, Jamie, I think a lot of owners might find

one of the following players on their waiver wire, if not more. Hunter Henry, Vernon Davis, Tyler Croft, and Jared Cook. Hunter Henry, Vernon Davis, Tyler Croft, and Jared Cook. These guys are owned in 70 to 80 percent of leagues, but one of them might be available. And Henry, Croft, and Cook have really strong matchups, really good matchups going forward, especially Henry and Cook. I mean, Cook, oh my goodness. After his bye. He's got a bye. But New England, Denver, the Giants, the Chiefs, the Cowboys, and the Eagles in Week 17.

Incredible matchups. Anyway, you think those shallower guys are going to be in play for a lot of owners this week? Maybe Hunter Henry? Sure. I mean, look, he was cut in several leagues. We talked about that, I think, last week. Right. So if they're still out there, you want to look to he was cut in several leagues. We talked about that, I think, last week. Right. So if they're still out there, you want to look to see if you can grab them.

Who do you like better this week, Hunter Henry at Jacksonville or Tyler Croft? Let's see. They've got Tennessee this week? Yeah, at Tennessee. Henry, short-term and long-term. Yep. Okay. Yeah, hopefully you can get

I think the only way That would change Is if there's somehow A suspension levied on AJ Green Which it doesn't seem That's going to be good You guys buying Jared Cook

Because we didn't really Get to talk about it On the Sunday show He's obviously a Sunday night Superstar with 126 yards Actually I heard Heath Talk about it a lot Oh yeah on the Sunday show

His mic was muted Yeah sorry about that My bad We were just talking About how unfair it was that I got suspended for a full show and you were only suspended for the first ten minutes. I'm AJ Green. I'm sorry. Are you buying Jared Cook?

I'll tell you what I like best about his last three games. Averaging roughly 15 yards per catch. Has a couple of long grabs in there. He's always had a lot of targets. There was one week where we kind of bought into him. It was against the Chargers. He had three targets, two catches in that game. Those are both season lows for him.

Usually he's right around five, six targets. Last week he had nine. And he's catching a pretty decent amount of them. In his last three games, he's only missed on three targets. So he's getting work, he's getting volume, and he's making some big plays downfield. I think you have to buy in. I'm not buying into the level of he's performed

like a top five tight end the last three weeks. I think he's a top five tight end. But at this position, yeah, he's a starter. Who's got DSTs this week? Jamie? Sure. Jamie, you got DSTs. Who are some of the good ones?

Let me get there. Hold on. Bears, Pats. The Bears are 14% on. They get Brett Hundley, who stinks. The Patriots, they get somebody playing quarterback for Denver. They stink. Coming off a bye week.

It's Osweiler. The Giants, they get San Francisco. Their quarterback stinks. And the Titans, they're 45% on. They get the Bengals, who stink. Cincinnati has allowed double-digit fantasy points to opposing DSTs in four straight weeks. If you're stuck, the Jets, too. The names were the Bears, the Pats, the Giants, and the Titans.

I say this, though. Yes, Green Bay, it's kind of like facing the Bears. Green Bay, they're not good offensively, but they haven't given up fantasy points to defenses the last two weeks because Hundley doesn't throw interceptions. Well, that's kind of his track record, though. Okay, he hasn't the last two weeks. Okay, and the Bears are very good at home,

and they put up fantasy points at home. So, okay, Bears are number one there. Steelers are 75% owned. They've got the Colts. They didn't make the cut because they're too owned, but 75% owned. Steelers, would you take them over the Bears? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And the Lions are also 75% owned. Take them over the Bears. Not over the Bears, but the Lions are worth picking. I would take the Lions over the Bears, even. Okay, the Lions. They've got Cleveland. They're both in good spots. Lions, Steelers in shallower leagues.

Bears, Patriots in deeper leagues. By the way, Broncos are winning this week. Wow. That's a huge call. I said it. Tom Brady can't win there. He does not win there, folks. Or maybe he doesn't put up big fantasy numbers there.

But, yes, you know I'm serious when I say folks. Okay, IDP, Dave Richard. A couple of defensive linemen that I think could be good that are low on. Muhammad Wilkerson has been playing well. Jarrell Casey in Tennessee. Those are two guys you can look at adding. Linebackers. Denzel Perryman on his way back for the Chargers.

He should fit right into the starting lineup, start racking up a ton of tackles. Joe Sjobert. See if he's still on the waiver wire in your league. He's on the Browns. He didn't do anything last week. He'll come back. That's a defense that's going to see a lot of offense. Their offense is going to turn the ball over, so it's good

to have somebody getting tackles in the middle. And that's Joe Sjobert. Anthony Barr for Minnesota also is interesting. Defensive backs, Kirk Coleman. Still out there in a ton of leagues. Same thing with D'Angelo Hall. A couple of veterans. Three veterans actually. Coleman, D'Angelo Hall, Tremaine Johnson. All three of them, I think, have

potential to help your IDP team. I got an email the day. FantasyFootball at CBSi.com. FantasyFootball at CBSi.com. I can't find the email of the day right now, but I remember what it said. It said,

oh, here it is. It's from Justin. Dear Cousins, Hoyer, Stanton, and Cook. Michigan State? Yeah. Okay. Is Harrison Butker worth carrying through his bye? Probably not.

I think he's good enough to where, like— Wait, hold on. We now go to a kicker expert. Heath Cummings. I love kickers. There's nothing I love more. The one thing that I love more than kicker leagues is carrying two at a time. Right.

Yeah. You should pretty much never carry a kicker. But if you were going to, he is of the ilk that would make you consider it. Would Jake Elliott also be? Is he the tomato of kickers? He has, to this point, been the tomato of kickers. I would say Jake Elliott has been the tomato of kickers, and he's on by this week. So if you're keeping Harrison Butker, then you're definitely keeping Jake Elliott.

Yeah, good call. Good call. I think I would, yeah. And Justin Tucker's on by this week. Wow. Oh, my goodness. Can't drop kickers. Kicker by madness.

Kicker by NATO. We've been It's kicker by madness. Yeah. Kicker by NATO. We've been talking about kicker by NATO since the preseason. Week 10. It's finally here. We said it. All right. You know what? Maybe you do hang on to these guys.

If you're going to drop them, do it on Saturday night. But, you know, here's another thing you should do is when you put in your claim. If you have a league where you can't make ad drops on Sunday, I don't know how many leagues are like that. But fab leagues could be like that. I always put in like three $0 bids for kickers, dropping the same kicker every time just to make sure there aren't other owners adding a kicker and I don't get left out. So does that make sense? Yeah. Don't drop three separate people.

Drop the same kicker for three different kickers to make sure at least one of them goes through. Hey, maybe even do like five or six. Maybe do 12 just to make sure that – just in case everybody in the league is picking up a kicker that night. I'm not doing 12, Adam. I think no one has more experience with trying not to get left out than you, Adam, and this is how you do it. Thank you. Yeah, you just ask a lot, and eventually things work out for you. All right, very cool feature I want to tell you about on the Draft app.

So I got a text notification on my phone on Sunday morning. Leonard Fournette is out. Swap a player in your draft contest. And that was cool because I had Leonard Fournette in the league. My internet wasn't working really, so I didn't swap him out. But that's not the Draft app's fault. The Draft app would have let me make a change to my lineup and get Leonard Fournette out of my lineup as he was declared inactive. So that's really cool and a very helpful feature.

I did five drafts this weekend with listeners, and I went three and two, which makes me the smartest man alive. No, it makes me very thankful to have all these listeners challenging me. And I don't know, getting probably 20 to 30 challenges a week. So I'm going to ignore a lot of them, but keep on trying because I will accept some of them as well. Probably play about five a week. We'll play for a dollar. Me against you. But what you got to do is you got to download the draft app and you got to find me, by the way, I'm BigCane2 on draft. By the way, go Canes. You're doing real live snake drafts. This is one-on-one with me,

but you should do bigger leagues because they're a lot more fun. You should do five-person leagues. You should do 10-person leagues. You should do bigger drafts. They don't take long, 30 seconds on the clock. You put players in your queue. It's really easy.

Boy, Seattle wide receivers can be very frustrating. You don't have to own Tyler Lockett, right? They've got the Thursday night game at Arizona. You don't have to. All right. Good. Thank you. Good.

Appreciate that. If you wanted to. Freedom. I don't. San Francisco wide receiver Trent Taylor has a broken rib. Dave, San Francisco, according to Jay Glazer, inquired about Tom Brady at the trade deadline, huh? Yeah, that's something. How'd that conversation go?

What do you think they offer? What do you offer for a Tom Brady? You start with Bethard. Joe Staley. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Kyle Shanahan, maybe? It's like the guy in your league that comes to you and says,

I want to trade for Le'Veon Bell. And you go, well, I'm not really going to trade you Le'Veon Bell, but sure, I'll listen to anything. What have you got? You gave a first this year, first next year, at Reuben Foster. You take that after the Patriots? In the middle of the season? I don't think I can do it in the middle of the season. It's a pretty good trade, though, because you're going to get your franchise.

I think it gets talked about. You're going to get your franchise quarterback this year if you draft the right guy. I mean, it would make no sense for San Francisco to do that. No, definitely not. That's fun. Yeah, so thanks for trying, and we'll just go ahead and keep Tom Brady. Do you expect the following players this week? Eddie Lacy.

Nope. We do not expect them. CJ Proseis. They say he's going to play. They said that on Monday or Tuesday of last week as well. Are you calling the Seahawks liars? I would not call them liars. They say he's going to play. They said that on Monday or Tuesday of last week as well. Are you calling the Seahawks liars? I would not call them liars.

Do you think they lie about anything ever? Spreaders of disinformation? Okay. Okay. Do you expect DeMarco Murray? As of now, yes. Chris Hogan? As of now, no. Really? Okay.

So that makes Amendola a lot more interesting. Although it is Denver. Julio Jones. Yeah, right? Yeah. Charles Clay, yes. And Jordan Reed against Minnesota. No. No? No.

Alright, Monday Night Football. Detroit 30. Green Bay 17. This was domination. Detroit had the ball for 36 minutes and 55 seconds. You know, I'm sorry, Jamie. I talk about Aaron Jones. Who's that?

What would you take? Yeah, I don't know what to say. They got behind. They went away from the run. He wasn't good on the opening drive. Missed on a blitz pickup. Got Brett Hundley sacked. They were chasing points.

Ty Montgomery is better in that situation and looked to be healthy. So Aaron Jones was a disappointment. So bad call by me. Was anyone else disappointed just with the Packers' offense in general? They had a week to prepare. Everyone that was hoping that the Packers' offense would do something well, I think, was just like, anybody who watched that game was disappointed. I wasn't surprised, though.

I really wasn't. I gave the coaching staff way too much credit. I thought for sure that they'd get something going. Hundley didn't try a big boy throw until the second quarter, and it didn't go well. He's not a big boy. Yeah, he's not. I'd rather see Aaron Rodgers left-handed. Yeah, Devontae Adams should have caught that deep ball.

But still, I mean, it's going to be a struggle. Do you feel confident starting any Packers going forward? I don't think you can. No. I don't think there's any positive that you can really take away. Even Devontae Adams in the PPR League, I don't know if that's good enough to say that that's a good option. He might be a number three in the PPR because I don't know how often he's going to get ten targets in seven catches. Now, Jamie, there's not as many of those as there were supposed to be because Dave had to do something with the Bean Boozles.

I'm not sure. I took a picture with a box of Bean Boozles. It was a box that was open. And then dumped a box of Bean Boozles in I'm not sure. I took a picture with a box of Bean Boozles. It was a box that was open. And then dumped a box of Bean Boozles in a box on my desk. I might have misplaced them inside the box. And then just left them there. Wait a minute. I didn't put them on your desk. No, in the box on my desk.

So I have Bean Boozles just sitting out open. Surprised there aren't bugs, really. In the box. Not on your desk. Are you guys eating a Bean Boozle today? Because I got the bonanza right, didn't I? Have you eaten yours from the week before? I really don't respect this angle.

You never establish those rules. So what's happening? I'm going to eat a Bean Boozled if we're going to start the week wrong. Please get one of the gross ones. I hear the white ones are the worst. And he landed on... No, that's not on the line. Are you kidding? It's right there on the red.

You're in the red section. What's the red? What's the red section? You're either going to get chocolate pudding or canned dog food. There is none of those. Dave already dumped all those out. No, no, no. All these dark ones are it.

Okay. So have one of the dark colors. That's great. Go ahead. Dog food or chocolate? Dog food. Dog food. He's got dog food, ladies and gentlemen.

I mean, really, if you're going to have a brown one and one of them is chocolate, shouldn't the other one just taste like poop? I don't know if they can actually promote that, though. Why? Poop is bad? Let me tell you about a TV show. Listen, he was so bad, I'm going to do it again. It wasn't so bad? Chocolate pudding or explosive diarrhea.

Yes. Let me tell you about a TV show called Nathan For You. You ever seen that show? Tutti Frutti or Sticky Socks. No one's listening to your TV show. All right. So it's like, yeah, that one. Come on, Sticky Socks.

Have you gotten a whiff of these? Just take a smell. That was Tutti Frutti. Oh, how was Tutti Frutti? Was it good? Dog food and Tutti Frutti. No. Stop eating them.

I don't think I find these as bad as they're supposed to be. No. He's going to snack on them. Really kind of a letdown. Anyway, real quick. Nathan, for you, very funny show on Comedy Central. The first one ever. This guy, he comes up with these wacky business ideas for local businesses.

And this guy, he tried to help a local frozen yogurt shop. And he said, okay, here's what we're going to do. We're going to create a poop flavor. And everybody's going to come and try it. And he did create a poop flavor. And everybody came and tried it. And they were like, this is disgusting. It tastes like poop. So you and try it. And he did create a poop flavor and everybody came and tried it and they were like, this is disgusting. It tastes like poop.

So you can do it. It is possible. All right. Anyway. People paid to have poop. Yes. It was like a gimmick and it worked. It's a very funny show.

All right. It was. I haven't watched it in years. I don't even know if it's still on. So who's droppable on the Packers? Cobb. But he always was. He was their best receiver. He had their best catch of the night.

He had one big play. He just hasn't been good all season. I don't necessarily disagree. I think he was droppable last week. We had him on the list going into the bye week. Jordy Adams, Ty Montgomery, are they droppable? I wouldn't drop Montgomery now. No.

I still would wait to see if maybe they do make a quarterback change. I don't know if Callahan's better than Hundley, but I'd hold on to Jordy and Adams. If I have an open roster spot and I see Jordy and Adams available, I'll probably pick them up. Cobb, I have no interest. We shouldn't, Adam. I don't think it's fair of you to bring up the short of the week, Aaron Jones, without mentioning that Jamal Williams scored a touchdown. Yeah, I know.

Last play of the game, Jamal Williams scored a one-yard touchdown. I just want to say, let's give Hundley a little bit of credit. Two weeks ago, he threw for 87 yards. This week, he threw for 245 yards. He got better, you know? He's awful. Yeah, okay, fine. I don't know how he's that bad.

We thought coming into the year he was one of the better backups, right? No. I didn't. I think that the Packers had kind of conveyed that. Well, they did. I think every team's going to say that they're backups. Right, well, yes. But we know that a lot of them have played and failed before.

And now he's playing and failing. He's terrible. It's good to see Matt Stafford. Matt Stafford's playing really well, guys. He finally gets the fantasy points to show for it. But who's the best Lions wide receiver rest of season, Jones or Tate? Tate. The only reason why I would say Tate is because eventually Kenny Galladay will come back, and that will take numbers away from Marvin Jones.

I am serious. It will be over for Marvin because Kenny Galladay will take over. Dave, are you being serious right now? I do like Tate better the rest of the season. To me, they're neck and neck. I agree with the neck and neck part. I would definitely take Tate and BBR. We talked about how Marvin Jones' schedule gets pretty tough. Yep. Does it matter, though? I agree with the neck and neck part. I would definitely take Tate and BBR.

We talked about how Marvin Jones' schedule gets pretty tough. Yep. Does it matter, though? I mean, it does? Okay, so Cleveland this week, that's great. At Chicago, that's been tough for receivers. Minnesota, that's tough. At Baltimore, that's tough.

And then it's better after that. It's really only better for one game. Is he still sell high, or is he too good to sell, Marvin Jones? I'm going to try and trade him this week in a league where I have four receivers and Zeke. And so I'm going to see if I can get a running back in return just in case. Okay. So, I mean, that's the type of player. That's the type of scenario I think you want to try and sell him.

I think he could be a – I mean, look, he's no worse than a number three receiver the rest of the way, even in tough matchups because Stafford's playing well, they still have trouble running the ball. They're going to get Taylor Decker back. That will certainly help things on the offensive line. Yes. So Jones is still a very good player. I just think Tate's in a better spot because of where he plays, his yards after catch.

He's going to still get healthy after the shoulder injury. And that's still going to be the guy that gets the most targets for this team. Okay. Oakland, Miami, we'll get to in just a second, but I thought some of the funnier Butterfinger feedback that we got from my... eating that Butterfinger on Sunday night's podcast. By the way, they're

a potential sponsor, so you really... A real sponsor is Harry's Razors. Some of the funnier feedback was, why isn't Adam using his Harry's Razors? Yes, I'm a Harry individual, but I do use Harry's Razors all the time and you should as well. Go to harrys.com slash FFT, H-A-R-R-Y-S.com slash FFT because you're getting a free trial offer.

You're going to really love this product. We get great feedback on it.

So once again, Harrys.com slash FFT. I want to get back into the waiver wire, guys, and the drop-o-meter. So please give me some quick thoughts on Sunday Night Football, Oakland 27, Miami 24. This Miami offense is going to flow through Jay Cutler like tobacco through a lung. The running backs are going to catch plenty of passes. What? And – Spoken Jay Cutler. I was thinking of something Cutler-y.

That was clever. Okay. I don't know if that was clever or not. He kind of looked at me like I was crazy. No, I think it was very clever. It was hilarious. I laughed. But, yeah, I think they're going to be very pass-oriented moving forward.

I'd probably float some Marshawn Lynch trade offers out there if I was a Marshawn Lynch owner. To give him away? Because he basically did what he's done almost every week. Around 14, 12, 15 carries, 50, 60, 70 yards. This time he scored two touchdowns. Now, how do you feel about Kenyon Drake? Who would you rather have rest of the season, Drake or Lynch?

I'll say Lynch, but they're close. I'll say Lynch too. Kenyon Drake, Marshall Lynch. You'll take Drake, Jake? I couldn't argue. Jake will be more involved in the passing game. He doesn't have the same breakdown potential. He should be coming in with fresh legs.

Again, they're going to get Ted Larson back to shut off the offensive line. I'll take both Miami backs and PPR over Lynch. And Lynch had fresh legs in this game on Sunday because he got kicked out of a game and then he had a bye. I forgot to mention – Well, no, I mean he did practice with high school kids. He did, right. I forgot to mention Amir Abdullah. Would you rather have these Dolphins running backs or Amir Abdullah who fumbled twice?

Still Abdullah. Just when they were giving him the work, they give it to him inside the 10. The first fumble I don't really want to say was entirely on him because he may have thought the play was stopped and he's in a pile and lying on bodies and the ball gets ripped out. The second one is completely awful. Yeah, that was a bad one. Yeah, I take Abdullah over Lynch, Drake, and Williams, yes.

Again, hopefully Taylor Decker coming back will make that offensive line better and they can actually try and run the ball. Heath, you and I had a pretty good argument about Devontae Parker versus Jarvis Landry, and you win this round, but it was close. And Parker had more yards, but Landry got the touchdown. Landry might set his career high in touchdowns this year. Does he have four or five now? I think his career high is five, and I believe he has four now.

I'm actually a little worried about Landry after this game. How come? Because we saw 12 targets go to Drake and Williams, and that's not really something the Miami offense was doing very much. Landry only got seven targets in this game. The touchdown's great, but six for 32 is awful. I'll tell you what you can worry about with Jarvis Landry is that he's averaging 7.7 yards per catch this year.

Which is why he either has to score a touchdown or he has to get double-digit targets. It's a great matchup for him. Panthers are really struggling with slot receivers, so I'm okay with him still this week. The knock on him coming into the year, scoring touchdowns, he's been very good at that for his track record.

The yardage hasn't been so... I think they're going to be in a situation where they have to throw because they can't run. And so maybe the running backs are going to catch the ball in the backfield, but I think Landry will too. Okay. I guess real quick on the drop-o-meter now. We covered a lot of the waiver wire in the beginning of the show,

so we'll give you some more names. But let's do the drop-o-meter. I'm just going to read them off of Twitter here. Did not have time to put them in the notes this week, guys. I apologize. So just follow along. Zero to ten. Drop-O-Meter on Will Fuller.

Two. Eight. Seven. You're getting rid of them, huh? Maybe seven's better, but you're not going to know when to start. Rashard Matthews and Will Fuller are sitting out there. Who do you rather have right now? Matthews easily.

Right. Corey Davis or Will Fuller are out there. Who do you rather have right now? I'll take Corey. Right. Marquis Lee or Will Fuller? And I there. Who do you rather have right now? Matthews. Right. Corey Davis or Will Fuller are out there. Who do you rather have right now? Davis. Marquise Lee or Will Fuller. And I dig Goodwin too. Yeah. It's one of those things where it's not... We got the one game sample size and it was ugly. I don't think it's a slam dunk

across the board. I would still have... I'd rather have Will Fuller over Goodwin because bad quarterback, bad quarterback. They're kind of the same spot. They're both deep threat guys. Yeah. T.Y. Hilton is really an interesting player when you look at Fuller, when you look at all the Packers guys.

Thinking about T.Y. Hilton's season, and if we had known right from the jump that Andrew Luck was out all year, is he a guy that really would have been worth owning? I don't know that there's a clear-cut answer, because he's had three monster games, and six terrible ones. The only nice thing about him, and we talked about it, that other than the Titans game, he's been pretty predictable. Right, right. So is that what you expect from, say, Jordy Nelson and Devontae Adams, for them to be

predictable? No. No, they don't have as good a quarterback as T.Y. Hilton, and T.Y. Hilton doesn't have another good receiver to share targets with. Yeah, that's true. I don't think either of them are anywhere close to as good as Hilton the rest of the season.

So, I mean, how are they not droppable then? That's a good point. I'm not saying they are. Like, I don't have the guts to do it. I don't think I do either. I guess I want to see one more game, and then we can revisit that. CJ Anderson, drop-o-meter. Five.

Three. Yeah, I think I'm going to lean towards the three-side on this one. You don't know if this is going to be a permanent thing or not. I think Devontae Booker's got a lot more juice in his legs at this point, and certainly he's more versatile. Willie Sneed. 10. Yeah.

11. 14. Boy, why does Luis say drop Adam Azer for Tim Tebow? Oh, I don't mind that. That would get more people tuned into the podcast. I don't know if it would be as fun. How do you think Tebow would be as a host? It would help our ratings.

That's what I'm saying. It would help. I would take that for the team. I would take one for the team. That would be good for you guys. Sammy Watkins. Zero. Zero.

You're not dropping him after that amazing one catch, 60-whatever yards, touchdown. But it's a glimpse. It's a glimpse of what could be in the future for the Rams. And if they were in a game where they're chasing points, targets could have been there for them. Two. They now get to be chasing points this week against the Texans. Nelson Aguilar.

Eight. No, three. Dave is not dropping anyone. I'm keeping everybody. I'll split the difference. Five. No. Three. Dave is not dropping anyone. I'm keeping everybody. I'll split the difference. Five. No. Yeah, five.

I'm not keeping that guy on his bye week. Here's our tweet of the day from Joseph. This is actually like 100% true. Adam, I agree with you about Jerry Maguire. If that's a football movie, so is Ace Ventura and The Last Boy Scout. Great point. Terrific point. How is The Last Boy Scout not a football movie? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. Actually Ventura and The Last Boy Scout. Great point. Terrific point. How is The Last Boy Scout not a football movie?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. Actually, okay. The Last Boy Scout probably is. But Ace Ventura, definitely not a football movie. Has as much football. I don't think people consider that a football movie. But then they shouldn't consider Jerry Maguire a football movie. But it is a football movie.

But it's not a football movie. It's a pet movie. Waver wire. All right. It's so funny. Whenever you get something that agrees with you, you find it and you read it. Right. Oh, I read the ones that don't.

I just read a guy who said drop me for Tim Tebow. No, no, no, because that's funny in relation to you. If there's someone that says Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, we get probably – I'll be fair, 50-50. You never read the ones that say Die Hard is Christmas. That's not true. That is 100% true. No, that's not true at all. I read it and then I immediately dismiss it. Exactly. You don't read it. No, I read it. Then that say diehard description. That's not true. That is 100% true. No, that's not true at all. I read it, and then I immediately dismiss it.

Exactly. You don't read it. No, I read it, then I say you're dumb. You read it yourself, and then you go, I'm not going to read this one. It doesn't agree with my point. Jamie's basically calling you a useless jerk. I don't know if you should take that. This is a good day segment.

If Adam brings up something, he's obviously wrong. Go talk to Tim Tebow. See what he thinks about it. All right, here are your quarterbacks. Remember, we've already talked about a lot of these guys, but it was Josh McCown and Eli Manning as the two best with Andy Dalton. Jim, you didn't weigh in on

Andy Dalton. We have a split decision here on Dalton this week against Tennessee. What do you think? I think he's a starting fantasy quarterback. And Jared Goff, if he's available, he's 84% owned. Do you guys think Jared Goff is going to be good rest of the season? He's going to be good this week.

I would play the matchups with Goff. I think Goff is a top five quarterback this week, and then he may not be top 20 again for the rest of the season. Yeah, I hate to say what I'm going to call him after what happened last night. Oh, boy. Think about it before you do it. Don't commit to anything. I don't need to worry about it.

It's already been done. I don't need to worry about what I'm thinking about, so it's probably going to be Goff. There may be somebody else that I consider. And I may do something funny to pick at the start of the week, but Goff is the leader in the clubhouse right now. Okay, so Goff, McCown, Manning. Jamie, you've got the Vikings guys on here, Keenum and Bridgewater. What's your thoughts on that? Well, it, Keenum. Jamie, you got the Vikings guys on here, Keenum and Bridgewater.

What's your thoughts on that? Well, it's Keenum. I mean, look, he's facing a Redskins defense that's allowed just under 19 fantasy points a game to quarterbacks this year. And he's coming off a strong game. So I don't think he's a must-start guy, but in two quarterback leagues, he's absolutely in the discussion. Okay. Cutler is on the list. Just not a good matchup this week, but Tampa Bay and then

New England the next two weeks. Ryan Fitzpatrick would have been higher if not for Evans. Heath, though, where are you ranking Fitzpatrick this week? I have Fitzpatrick ranked probably higher from what it sounds like than everyone else. I don't know that there's just any hope at all of Tampa Bay being able to run the ball. Apparently they – I don't know what they did with Peyton Barber and Doug Martin. Yeah, they didn't like how Martin was working with their line. But I've got him as a top 15 quarterback. I would start him over Kirk Cousins. Yes, and Rivers. I currently have Rivers Kirk Cousins. Yes, and Rivers.

I currently have Rivers and Cousins ahead of Fitzpatrick. I originally had Fitzpatrick in the top 10, but that was before the news came out about Mike Evans. It definitely hurts. And again, you can't discount emotion. Ryan Fitzpatrick facing his old team. He lost his superpowers, though. Shaved the beard. That's true. Good point. I lost his superpowers, though. Shaved the beard. That's true.

Good point. I'm moving him down. Okay. Jacoby Brissett. Yeah, I pulled Brissett from the column. You can move on. Okay. Yeah, he was playing well, but Pittsburgh and then a bye.

Yep. And Paxton Lynch, but he won't be starting. No, but he's not a bad stash candidate. Okay. Can't be any worse than what the two guys there have done so far. In those deeper leagues. Here's a guy I just want to throw out out because it's the Waver Wire show. Blake Bortles. Chargers have not

allowed 20 fantasy points to a quarterback since week one. So maybe not this week, but after that at Cleveland, at Arizona they'll actually give up a lot of points. And then Indianapolis. I think Bortles is bad, but two weeks in a row with 18 fantasy points. Any interest there, guys, in a stash on Bortles?

I thought about it, but the matchup this week, and with the quarterbacks that you're going to have to either make a decision to carry, he's not worth carrying if you're not going to play him. So two quarterback leagues, if you need somebody, it's not horrible, but the matchup is just so bad. There's also a confidence issue with Bortles, as in are you ever going to feel confident starting him? I think he's in a better spot than the guy he's facing this week.

So it's really the Cousins owner this week. Rivers. The Rivers owner this week need to be active on waivers. The Wentz owner. The Wentz, yeah. The Alex Smith owner. I don't know how many Rivers owners there are because he was on a bye last week. Oh, many.

People already had a quarterback to use in place of him, so if they want to get away from them, you can. I'm not ready to say that he's going to be bad this week, believe it or not. There's 89% of people who own him, so plenty of people own him. Thousands upon thousands. He's going to be bad against Jacksonville. Okay, that's for Thursday's show or Friday. Yeah, Thursday's show.

Running backs. Okay, recapping what we talked about. Matt Forte and Orleans Darkwa are good options this week. I guess I just feel like the Giants are so bad. But Darkwa, do you think he scores? I think he has a chance to. Yeah. 16 carries last week.

He was good against the Chargers. He was good last week against the Rams. Just didn chance to. Yeah. 16 carries last week. He was good against the Chargers. He was good last week against the Rams, just didn't score. Yeah. He was great against Denver. He's playing the 49ers. I don't know what you want. They allow the most fantasy points to running backs, so it's a good matchup. Forte, Darkwa.

James White is 76% owned. Much more appealing in PPR. Denver allows the third fewest receiving yards per game to running back. Does that matter to you with James White? A little bit. I think Bill Belichick's pretty good at attacking a defense where they're weak. If Hogan is out as expected, you're going to see White and Burkhead play a lot. Jamie, how come Tariq Cohen is mentioned here?

Without Benny Cunningham, he's played well. Yep. Oh, okay. Darren McFadden, 71% owned. Duke Johnson, 76% owned. Again, a PPR guy. And Javoris Allen, 77% owned. He's on a bye.

And then Woodhead will be back. So actually, can you drop Javoris Allen? Or not after that game? Seven catches, 44 yards, and a touchdown. That's if Woodhead will be back. He's expected back, right? After the bye? I don't know if I'd go that far.

He's eligible to come back after the bye. Okay. Okay. That backfield is going to get messier. Collins had his shot. He blew it. That was a good run defense. It was.

I mean, I liked it too. I don't think that Danny Woodhead is going to take any of Alex Collins' work. I would say next week against the Packers, I'm going to be starting Alex Collins. What I'm worried about is Javoris Allen takes some of Alex Collins' work, which is sick to me, but the coaching staff seems to trust Allen more. All right, these other players here, Thomas Rawls, Damian Williams. We talked about them earlier.

Now there's Theo Riddick, Jamie, you have, Rex Burkhead, Dave, you like Devante Booker, and then Rod Smith and Chris Ivory. Don't skip over Rob Kelly. So Jamie said remove Rob Kelly. Where are you on Rob Kelly? That's hurtful. I was just really happy that he scored a couple touchdowns

because I drafted him in several leagues where it's best ball and he just happens to stick in your lineup all year long. Yeah, I don't know. You can't start him this week against Minnesota. I think they would like to run the ball a little bit more successfully. Their matchups after Minnesota are not terrible. Yeah, and hopefully they get their line healthy by then. Right.

So Rob Kelly, 57%. I don't think he's... I think he should be higher than 57%. Okay. So Jamie and Dave, you guys talked about Burkhead earlier. Expectations? Five catches a game. Chance to potentially score. Seven targets in his last game when Hogan got hurt.

He was essentially playing wide receiver for them. Still got, I think, four carries or six carries in that game. So he'll be part of the rotation with Lewis, Gillislee, and White. And he could see some time just playing receiver in general. So not necessarily a great option in standard leagues, but PPR, he could be a flex for you. We've got to talk about the Lions because you wonder. Abdullah has been just bad this year. I think he's averaging like 3.2 yards per carry.

He fumbled twice. Does Theo Riddick start to get more work? Does Dwayne Washington start to get more work? Washington did get more work in that game, but he had five carries for one yard last night. What do you think there? What's your read on that if you see Riddick or Washington on your waiver wire? I think Riddick's role is pretty cemented in as a reliable passing downs player for the Lions. My hunch is that they're going to give Abdullah another shot.

Winning certainly helps that. Right. And they might not make Zach Zenner inactive next week. And they might use him in short yardage goal line. Abdullah got the work down near the goal line. He did, but then he fumbled and... Yeah, he scored too. I kind of feel like they're back to square one.

Okay, that's running back for you. We go to wide receiver. And we've discussed Robbie Anderson. Mohamed Sanu is 81% owned, and has another good chance this week against Dallas, guys. Great matchup. Great, great matchup. He's the number two receiver for me, standard in PPR.

Alright, so who do you like better, Anderson or Sanu this week? I love Anderson this week, but Sanu's in a very good spot to just be productive. Yeah, Tampa Bay, that's Anderson's matchup. They allow the fourth most fantasy points to wide receivers. But this is another guy I think you might want to consider selling. I'm not sure how

you guys feel about Anderson. Last three games, he scored a touchdown, but in two of them he had less than 50 yards. He rarely gets more than six targets. Seems a little bit too good to be true. To me, what do you think about Anderson? Staying power or kind of fluky

i think i think he's kind of he's got staying power but i don't know if he's going to be i agree that he's a sell high candidate but what like you're not getting you're not getting anything great i know i wonder but i'm going to float him out there with the idea of trying to get more than he's worth but you're not going to get that, though. There's idiots out there. I think he could have staying power as a low-end number two. Right, but if I can trade him as a high-end number two because look how hot he is and look how Josh McCown's playing.

Yeah, try it. I'm going to try and trade up with him. So, Corey Davis, Rashard Matthews, Marquise Lee. Dave, you did mention Marquise Lee at the top of the show, right? I don't know if I did. No. Oh, okay.

This one, all right. We should spend some time on it. 43% owned. He has been around 80 yards or 72 to 83 yards three straight games. He's got double-digit targets two games in a row. He's been good in PPR. He finally scored last week. This is Marquise Lee facing the Chargers this week, which isn't

a great matchup. I think Jamie and Heath are probably more excited about Marquise Lee than Dave. Is that accurate? Heath, what do you think? I don't know if I'm more excited. I've gone hot and cold on Marquise Lee like

four times so far this season. At the wrong time each time, it seems like. So I'm not the Marquise Lee like four times so far this season. At the wrong time each time, it seems like. So I am not the Marquise Lee whisperer. I do feel like this week in particular, they're going up against a Chargers team that nobody throws against because they don't have to. And Leonard Fournette just got a week off. I think he may run all over the Chargers.

Yeah, I'll buy in. I mean, look, Bortles has been playing very well. And, you know, we've mentioned this before. When they let him throw in non-obvious passing situations, he looks good. Why would you go away from that? So Lee may not have a big game, but he's been consistent basically all season, certainly the last three weeks. And so I don't expect him to find the end zone consistently

because he hasn't done that, but seven or more points. I think that's the floor for him right now. All right, Marquise Lee. I certainly would rather start Robert Woods over him this week, but rest of season I'd much rather have Marquise Lee. Okay. Yeah, I'd agree with that. So who wants to pick up Josh Gordon?

Deeper league. I picked him up in a couple leagues last week, so yeah. On the backflip-o-meter, would you do backflips 0-10 if Danny Amendola were on your waiver wire? Zero. Three. I can't do a backflip or come anywhere close. No, four. What if Hogan's out?

Is Amendola... It is Denver. I don't think Amendola's role really changes that much. No, but targets could. Certainly. Yeah. Okay. Like I said, it's Denver.

Terrence Williams and Cole Beasley. Adam Humphreys. Adam Humphreys this week. What do you think against the Jets without Mike Evans? You've got to be desperate. And he might get you 10 fantasy points in the PPR. Yeah, yeah. 5 for 50 type game.

Yep. I don't think he's a terrible option. But it's a boom-bust type play. The deeper league guys, Deontay Thompson that Dave mentioned earlier, Curtis Samuel. We go to the tight ends. So, yeah, I'm hoping for your sake Hunter Henry is available or Vernon Davis is available or Tyler Croft. Tyler Croft facing Tennessee.

They haven't faced good tight ends much this year, so we don't really know what they're all about. And Jared Cook's on a bye, but could be worth stashing for sure. Charles Clay is number one for Jamie and Heath as well, right? Yes, for sure. Charles Clay and probably Dave as well, of all the guys owned in less than 65% of leagues. And then you've got the smart hat, C.J. Fedorowicz or Steven Anderson at the Rams.

Okay, so George Kittle's out. Is there a Hail Mary play in San Francisco? Garrett Selleck. Garrett Selleck. He'll score a touchdown. Going to score a touchdown. That's the bet you make if you start Garrett Selleck this week. Did Tyler Higby catch another pass after that?

No. That's so great. It's incredible. I love it. Sean McVay, great for fantasy. Ed Dixon. Giants defense, great for tight ends. Well, both work. Yeah, Ed Dixon. Giants defense, great for tight ends. Well, both work.

Yeah, Ed Dixon's 59% on. He's got the Dolphins. And Trey Burton is on a buy, and maybe Ertz would miss it. Yeah, Trey Burton, you don't really. Nobody's going to pick him up. Okay, DSTs. The Bears, the Pats, the Giants, the Titans. We like the Steelers better than all of them if they're available.

But the Bears, Pats, Giants, Titans. Heath, Dave, do you want to give any more DSTs? I also like the Lions better than all of them. Right, right. Forget about it. They're available in a couple of leagues. I don't have ownership right here. I put the Jets in also. Yeah.

The Jets should be in there. Ahead of the Giants. 10%. And how about the Niners? Any interest? No. No. How about the Packers at the Bears? Any interest?

No. They're behind everybody we've talked about. Okay. There you go, everybody. Have a great day. That's it. I'm wrapping it up. We'll try to read some emails.

Give me a kicker. Guy Forbat. Go get him. Guy Forbat. Go get him. Chris Boswell. My favorite. Go get him. Guy Forbat. Go get him. Chris Boswell. My favorite. Go get him.

Go get him. Go get all of them. For Dave, for Jamie, for Heath, I'm Adam. This has been the Waver Wire. Back tomorrow with some trade talk and a lot more with some schedule analysis on Fantasy Football Today. See ya. Bye. I've got Le'Veon. Not George Le'Veon. I've got Le'Veon Bell.
