Alright, I'm Adam Azer with Keith Cummings here. Let's talk about some wide receivers. We've been talking about them all week, Keith. Devontae Adams is a game-time decision. Marquez Valdez

Scantling, 49% rostered. Lazard, 67% rostered. What should we do? How good would those guys be if you have them and Devontae Adams in terms of making that decision to wait until Sunday night. Yeah, I mean, I think you should probably do that. Adams sounds like it's pushing to play.

We don't really expect that he's going to. But I I would view Lazard, MVS and Traquan Smith, for that matter, as solid number three wide receivers tonight. Because Traquan Smith will be again playing the Michael Thomas role with Thomas ruled out earlier in the week. So yeah, if you have the option with one of those guys as a secondary option, then you wait Adams out. Who's your favorite in that game if Adams is out? It would be Traquan Smith, then Lazard, then MVS.

But I think they're all within like six spots of each other in the rankings. How about the Falcons with Julio Jones being a game time decision? I know it's obviously it's easy to start Ridley and Gage. We get a boost, you'd think. But what about Matt Ryan against the Bears? How good of a start would he be? We really I don't feel like we've learned very much yet about this Bears defense, but I would probably just fire Matt

Ryan up even without Julio Jones. I'm starting Calvin Ridley, whether Julio Jones plays or anyone else on that team plays. Russell Gage is a borderline number two wide receiver in PPR. You should feel pretty good about starting whether Julio plays or not. The thing that I worry about, and you don't have a choice, you're going to start Julio if he's active, but I do worry about kind of like what we saw last week. He only four targets he was just a decoy yeah and that brings us to kenny galladay who looks like he's going to play this week at arizona but i don't know reading the quotes i'm not quite as confident as i'd like to be is kenny galladay a must start i wouldn't call him a must start but i like you mentioned all those, Traquan, MVS, those guys,

I would not start those guys over him. So that's kind of, but just about like anyone you were normally considering starting, I probably would start over him. How about CeeDee Lamb? No, no. I'd rather start those guys

than CeeDee Lamb though, personally. Oh, okay. All right, so you're low on CeeDee Lamb. All right, how crazy would this be, Heath? Would you just lose all respect for me as a fantasy manager, if or if you had any? Jordan Reed. I started Jordan Reed over Darren Waller.

I was actually going to look at the team we shared and make sure we didn't have that choice because I wouldn't lose all respect for you, but I can't do it. Waller is the clear number one on that team. I'm not 100% sold that this Patriots defense is on that team i'm not 100 sold this patriots defense is particularly good um i'm not sure it's bad either but i don't this isn't the same bill belichick defense that's going to take away great players i don't believe and so i darren waller is

my number two or three tight end this week i'm i'm starting with no reservation and playing him in DFS too. I rank these players, Mike Davis, Daryl Henderson, Devin Singletary, 49ers running backs, Giants running backs. You don't have to rank all, just your favorite. That's a lot of players. Devin Singletary is my favorite of the group, followed closely by Mike Davis, followed closely by Daryl Henderson. And then I would go with Jeff Wilson,

Jarek McKinnon, and then the Giants at the bottom. Start or sit, Deshaun Watson or Ben Roethlisberger? They are both low-end number one, high-end number two options. Personally, I would start Desha John Watson. Brady or Tannehill? Tannehill, and this one's not quite as close for me. I like Tannehill as a borderline starter this week.

I'm in prove-it mode with Tom Brady right now. David Johnson or Devin Singletary? It was Johnson at the beginning of the week. It's Singletary now with no Zach Moss. David Johnson or Deontay Johnson? I think I'm still going David Johnson. In full PPR, I would go Deontay Johnson, but any other format, I'm going David. Odell Beckham or Mike Davis?

I'm going to start Mike Davis. I'm a little bit worried about how many times the Browns actually pass against Washington. Robbie Anderson or Michael Gallup? It's Robbie Anderson for me. One of Lamb or Gallup is going to be good, but it's hard to project either of them over the other one, so they're both number four receivers for me.

Evan Ingram or Jordan Reed? Evan Ingram. And finally, Dallas Goddard or Tyler Higby? I've got Dallas Goddard in my top six tight end. I think he's the number one tight end in Philadelphia and a top six tight end in fantasy. I'm starting Goddard or Tyler Higby? I've got Dallas Goddard in my top six tight end. I think he's the number one tight end in Philadelphia and a top six tight end in fantasy. I'm starting Goddard. Thanks a lot to Heath Cummings. Thanks a lot for listening,
