An early look at the waiver wire. Finally, we get to focus on some running backs. Welcome to Fantasy Football Today Express. Let's get it started. Kamani Vidal, 56% rostered. Here we go. Hopefully this isn't a fake out like Michael Carter. I don't think it is.

18 carries, 124 yards, three catches, 14 yards, and a touchdown at Miami. He's got to be, if not the headliner, at least one of the headliners this week. I mean, he is the headliner. Adam, obviously, based on what he did and the fact that we got the report that O'Marion Hampton may not be back after his four weeks on injured reserve. So you could be looking at, you know, several, maybe six, seven, eight weeks of Vidal's lead running back for the Chargers. So it clearly was a great matchup against Miami. We'll see how he does in week seven against the Colts. But just knowing that there's a lot of biweek still coming up, a lot of injuries that we're dealing with, I feel, I feel, you know, thankful for the people that got ahead of this last week.

you know, and picked him up when he was not going to be as expensive. Now you probably have to spend at least 20% of your fab to go get him, you know, just waste on everybody now knowing that he's the guy. And I feel terrible for the people that picked up us on Haskins. I'm glad that we were, you know, touting Vidal as the one to go get first, not that we had any indication that it was going to be like this. But, you know, 21 total touches, I believe it was, for Vidal and seven for Haskins. Clearly, this is the split, I would assume the charters want to see moving forward

with Vidal performing like this. All right. So we'll come back to running back. Why don't we stay on running backs? We'll start with that. We'll go to quarterbacks after that. Any other running backs to pick up? I mean, the guy right after him, not to the same level,

but it's obviously, you know, Zonovan Bam Knight based on what he was able to accomplish as well. So we got the report before the slate started Sunday that the Cardinals were going to start night. You know, I just kind of took it as he was going to have a bigger role. And that's exactly what happened. He played 37% of the snaps. Michael Carter played 32% of the snaps. Knight had more total touches.

Carter played on a lot more third down opportunities. So it feels as if, especially now with Amari Di Mercado, dealing with the ankle injury, we see who the top two running backs are for the Cardinals. So we don't know, at least as them now, how long Trey Benson will be out. He will miss three more games, which takes them through week 11 because they have their buy in week 8.

So you're not going to have Benson back until week 12 at the earliest. So you could be looking at Knight as a potential flex option. I don't want to start him if I don't have to against the Packers, because their run defense is still obviously very good. That's what they play in week seven. But if you have the chance to pick them up, he's 9% rostered as of Monday. Okay.

And you said it's not really a great week for running back ads, but having two guys who could be in your lineup is actually pretty good for running back ads with no new injuries. You know what I mean? So who else? We got Tage Spears. We did see Spears get a little bit more work that was expected.

You know, so still want to pick him up and stash him. I'm obviously not starting him in any leagues. if I don't have to, but, you know, top-end handcuff. Jaden Blue with the Miles Sanders news that we got at the end of last week that he's now out for the season. So he's now the handcuffed to Javante Williams. So lottery ticket potential there. And then two handcuffs that we don't spend a lot of time talking about.

I mean, you could pick up Brian Robinson. You can pick up Tyler Alger. They're available in a lot of leagues if you want to just sort of play the handcuff game. There's really not much me to say about those guys in terms of aside from that. But I think just in terms of the underlying handcuffs that could be league winners at some point If there's an injury, Emmanuel Wilson and Isaiah Davis, you brought this up off the air. You know, the Jets could potentially trade Breece Halls in a contract year. So Davis with Brayland Allen Hurt could step into a bigger role.

But for the most part, we're talking about, you know, make it through the third or fourth run of waivers. If you just have an open roster spot to play with, these are, you know, players you can stash in the interbench. Quarterbacks, who do you like this week? Aaron Rogers, you know, it's hard to ignore. He had the second best game against the Browns this season, only the second quarterback to go over 20 fantasy points against. them. So coming off that game, then he gets the bangles this week. Four of six quarterbacks have been 20 points or more against the vangles. So playing well and, you know, good matchup. So he's a borderline starter heading into week seven with no Lamar Jackson still because he's

not a buy now. And now no Josh Allen. So if you want to pivot, especially if you still been chasing the position, Aaron Rogers is my favorite guy. I don't like Jackson Dart for a week two. Excuse me, four week six. Let me rephrase that. Four week seven. I don't like Jackson Dart for week seven. The reason I have number two is because the Broncos number two in few his fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks is because he's facing Denver. The best thing that Dart has done so far, 50 or more rushing yards in all three of his starts, two rushing touchdowns. The Broncos are the best team at shutting down running quarterbacks. You know, they contain Justin Fields, held them below his average, but going into that game,

including matchups against Jalen Hertz, Daniel Jones. I think there's another running quarterback in there. They've held their opposing quarterbacks to 13 carries for 15 yards prior to facing Justin Fields. So if Dart is not going to run, we don't know if Dary Slaten will be back. But long term, though, once you get past this game, he gets the Eagles again. Then he gets the Bears in there and the 49ers who obviously are not the same defense with the injuries that they're dealing

with. So the matchups coming up are good for Jackson Dart. So long term, I like him. Bryce Young, if you need another emergency starter, you know, you kept harping on this Adam. I mean, you're right. You're 50% at this point. The three-game schedule for the Carolina Panthers, we said, going into week five, dolphins, cowboys, jets. Bad against the dolphins, fantasy-wise. Good against the Cowboys.

Now he gets the Jets. Did a great job against Bo Nix, but still Bryce Young, low-end starter. Trevor Lawrence, I think, is an interesting play this week because I don't know really how good the Rams past defense is. They are seventh against opposing quarterbacks, but three of the last four quarterbacks against them. two of the past four quarterbacks against them, 26.2 fantasy points. So he might have an opportunity coming off back-to-back games with over 23 fantasy points to be a low-end starter. Mack Jones still in play if Brock Purdy's not out. I know he didn't have the best day, but their second and past attempts in the NFL right now.

He did throw for over in 340 yards. Just had the two interceptions, no touchdowns, and maybe getting a lot of help if George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall do return. So Mac Jones can still be an emergency starter. Joe Flacco, over 22 fantasy points in his debut. So not a bad option there. If you're stuck, certainly should be rostering all super flex in two quarterback leagues. And then keep an eye in the Minnesota situation, I would still prefer it to be Carson Wentz because you get the revenge game narrative against the Eagles.

And he has been over 19 fantasy points in two of three starts so far this season. So I think he gives them their best chance. And I think he's the best fantasy quarterback at least right now. And then make sure in all super flex and two quarterback leagues that Jacoby Preset is rostered because he may get another start. Cardinals have their buy in week eight, so they may not rush Kyler Murray back. and Brissette scored 24.7 fantasy points in his start against Colts. A lot of names, a lot of good quarterbacks to pick up if you need one.

Okay, we'll take a break and talk about wide receivers after this. With Amex Platinum, access to exclusive Amex pre-sale tickets can score you a spot trackside. So being a fan for life turns into the trip of a lifetime. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Pre-sale tickets for future events subject to availability and vary by race. Terms and conditions apply. Learn more at MX.com.ca. Alex. Okay. So who are the wide receivers to get? So this is the position that is a lot of options,

but not a lot of star power on it. So I'm going to go with Kashan Bouti as the first one to add. And we talked about this on Sunday night show. Like, is this really something that's sustainable. The one thing I think that is sustainable is that has been sustainable for Bouty has been his playing time. You know, so he's been on the field a lot for the Patriots, just hasn't had a lot of opportunities. And I still think they're trying to figure out what they are from a passing game standpoint, or not not what they're, who they have to rely on from a passing game. I feel that. Yeah, right.

So it was Hunter Henry early. It was Diggs the two previous weeks. Booty had one good game to start the season. So it's not a bad option just to take a flyer on, but he would be the top guy there. I would kind of ignore DeMario Douglas, but, you know, deeper leagues are going to take a shot on him. He's certainly not at the top of the list. Josh Downs now has back-to-back games where he's been productive, scored a touchdown against the Cardinals. He's second for me.

I know it's crowded. I know he's been losing opportunities at times. the season to Michael Pittman and Tyler Warren, but we know what kind of player he is, how explosive he can be. And I think as this offense continues to evolve a little bit, maybe he's going to take on a little bit bigger role. So he's second. I have Jalen Coker third.

You know, I'm excited to have him coming back. I think we might get him this week. He was close last week. So I still want to make sure he's rostered, especially if you can stash him on an IR spot. So he's third for me. And then we get into the injury, guys. And this is where it becomes very interesting and potentially productive for you. So Calvin really, we don't know if he's going to play next week.

week. You got Elyke, Iowa Manor. You want to play this down? Go ahead. Oh, you're waiting for me? Yep. That's not it. There we go. Eric. Yeah, Iow Manor. Two disappointing games in a row, but may have a bump in production. I know Van Jefferson kind of stepped up with really not there, but worth taking a flyer on just because he's somebody, I think they want to invest in the future and maybe Camorkely and I'm a little bit more. In Arizona, Zay Jones would be the one I'd look at first over Michael Wilson. He's available in 99% of leagues, so easy got to take a flyer on there just to see if there's something for him. But he did have a good game against the Colts.

Then you got the situation in Tampa. So we know as of Monday, Chris Godwin not going to play next Monday against the Lions. And most likely a Mecca Bucca is going to be out. Now, Mike Evans could return. But if you're looking at the receiving court for the Buccaneers, and please correct me if you think otherwise. But I have Cameron Johnson first, Sterling Shepard second, and Tess Johnson. and third in terms of how I want to add them this week. All of them are rostered in less than 90% of leagues.

I would imagine Shepard gets the most chances from a target perspective, but we haven't really seen those monster target games for the Bucks so far this year. Like Abucco is kind of living in that 7-8 target range. Godwin, when he came back, had a 10-target game, but I don't know how much of that is sustainable. And again, what happens with Mike Evans is there. So we could be looking at a 6-7 target type of game, 6-7. So for me, Cameron Johnson showed a lot of big play potential.

And against the lions, I think that matters. So I'll take him first, Shepard, second, Tess Johnson, third. Jordan Whittington now comes into play with the Pukunakua injury. We don't know if he's going to play in week seven against the Jaguars. Marquise Brown, look, he's got Rashi Rice back, but I still think he'll be on the field. So he's worth adding after scoring two touchdowns. I don't know about you, but I would prefer to pick up Darius Slayton and wait out his return than to chase little Jordan Humphrey, who did have eight targets.

that does not feel sustainable. So Slayton, no guarantee he's going to play, but I would pick him up. And then obviously still Christian Watson's worth rostering if you can because when he comes back, you may have some opportunities to make his play. So you get the gist of what this is. It's not a great list.

There's not a must-start player here, but there are a lot of must-roster players, I think. Well, I'll tell you what. I mean, that Tampa Bay Detroit game could be a 60-point game, you know, total. Could get a ton of pass attempts. and those wide receivers are available in every league, basically. So I don't have any strong opinion about who to pick up first.

It wouldn't be Shepard first. I kind of agree with what you're saying here, but I look forward to kind of hashing that out on the show tomorrow. Yep. A lot of opportunity there. I think from a long-term perspective, all the names you said, long-term, I think Slayton would be my guy. Even if he plays this week, no chance I'm starting him against Denver.

But Slayton, to me, has the best chance to have. have, you know, like a consistent six or more targets. No, I agree. But, you know, he was so bad two weeks ago. It's hard to trust him. Tight ends. What do we got? So tight end actually has a lot of good options.

I think you've got to look at Harold Fanon first, just with the chance of no David Njoko dealing with the knee injury and what we've seen from the tight ends in the two games that Dylan Gabriel has started. Second, I have Michael Mayer. We don't know when or if Brock Bowers will play in week seven, but clearly there's a chance for him to be involved. I know it's not the easiest matchups, these matchup against the Chiefs.

They did just give up a touchdown to Sam Laporte. It was a tough catch, but I think mayor will be involved in somebody I would like to roster. Three, I'm going to go KDaten, slightly ahead of Aranda Gadsden. I think, again, just as you alluded to, that game, even if just a one-week scenario could be a monster game for KDot, who played well against the 49ers, and this receiving court could just be decimated right now. It might be the best one to pick up. I mean, in the passing game. For Tampa Bay.

Yeah, no, I agree. I think if you're looking for, so like if you're saying, oh, I need a flex for this week, and it's Otten and the receivers, I would probably go with Otten as well. Or if you need both a wide receiver and a tight end, and you're deciding who to claim,

who to put a higher claim in for. Although, yeah, I don't know. It's a tough one because there are a lot of tight ends you could pick up. I'd probably have Fanon and a Bucks wide receiver or something like that. And you could probably pull that off. I agree. Go ahead.

But Gadsden, you know, again, first game without Clinton Johnson. We don't know how long Johnson will be out. Who knows how much of that was the Miami situation. wanting to feature him going back to the place where his dad played but coming off a seven-catch game and then look evan ingram three straight games with at least six targets i know it was miserable against the jets but the entire offense was miserable now you get the revenge game narrative against the giants so maybe he gets a little bit of an opportunity for at least one week and let's give

our guy ben some credit uh he mentioned uh tasem hill as he said he would start him over mason taylor one of our listeners um and he got a touchdown you know we may get some rushing touchdowns for him moving forward. Yeah, yeah. I also wouldn't give up on Mason Taylor yet either. He's only 36% rostered. I'd go right back to him against the Panthers. So he's not at the top of the list because I think a lot of people are going to be, you know, concerned and probably get dropped. I still would plan to start Mason Taylor's. Played 95% of the snaps. Okay. Thank you, Jamie. It's going to be a busy waiver wire for sure. A lot of injuries, a lot of opportunity here. I'm just thinking about how how important the waiver wire has been over the last few weeks and with these running backs

in particular. This week will be no exception. We accept. We'll be right back. We'll be back tomorrow, actually, on Fantasy Football today. See you.
