Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.

Welcome in. The sun came up. Barely. Tuesday, September 12th. World's still spinning. Barely. I'm trying to be positive, guys. Look, there's a lot to talk about today. We have a waiver wire show.

The Fantasy Footballers back with you. Jason Moore, Mike, the Fantasy Hitman, right? I'm Andy Holloway. I had the bar set pretty low after the Sunday Night Football Giants-Cowboys matchup in terms of, like, you can't get worse than that. And I guess it really wasn't because we had a football wise. No, we had a good game, but I think it was worse. Yes.

Yeah. Emotionally infinitely worse. Repercussions wise. Yeah. Definitely worse. But game wise, that was an excellent game. I mean, you know, for all the people that are, you know, we're always pro points, pro high score.

That was one of the most, you know, entertaining, low-scoring games I can remember. Well, the headline was Aaron Rodgers' tenure with the New York Jets lasted a couple plays. Four, to be exact. And down he went. And it was almost, for me, it was almost incomprehensible. Like the level of unfair.

Yeah. I mean, look, I'm speaking. If I were a Jets fan, I don't know how to wait. What were you doing there? I was mouthing, I'm so sorry to the camera. There's any Jets fans. I feel so bad. I just can't even comprehend how that feels.

Because I think it's the most devastating injury in the history of the National Football League. Maybe that, you know, Tuesday morning quarterback. But I think it's up there because of the expectations and the hype and the Hall of Fame quarterback and the defense that's so good and the long-suffering history of the Jets and all of it. And the part with Zach Wilson being the backup and the bust of the pick and all of the hatred from the fan base towards his performances and it being at home, right?

And week one, primetime, Monday night football. In front of your home crowd against your division rival, like for it to happen. Look, the NFL has five more primetime games set up with the Jets. If the NFL had a script, the script writer is fired. Yeah. This ain't the script you wanted. It's very

red wedding. It's a red wedding and it's probably a red wedding for other players on this team. Garrett Wilson got a touchdown miraculously because that catch was unbelievable when the throw was terrible. But for the most part,

Garrett Wilson's done. He's not done as far as someone you can start. You could part Garrett Wilson's done he's done as far as he's not done as far as someone you can start you could start Garrett Wilson his talent is you know can transcend but his you know I drafted him several times when push came to shove draft season I drafted him over everyone over the Devante Adams over you know he was like the one-two turn for me where I'm drafting a breakout superstar. That's done. That is 100% over. He's not going to be a top five wide receiver this season.

He can't be. Yeah, it's impossible with Zach Wilson. Five for 34 last night. He saved it with a touchdown. He had a great rookie year. Aaron Rodgers wasn't his quarterback as a rookie. But it seems very hard to look at him as a top five wide receiver like you said and Joe Flacco what's Joe doing let's get Joe Flacco

Mike White no longer there I mean I think Zach Wilson certainly can be better than he was last year he can but it comes down look what you're leaning on here. You're leaning on Nathaniel Hackett to call plays for Zach Wilson to make Garrett Wilson what you wanted him to be. That sentence is not one that. I don't feel good. It's just a lot to take in. It is. I mean, we had two Achilles injuries this week.

J.K. Dobbins, who hit the waiver wire in our league this morning, Jason, with the early sayonara, the Viking funeral for J.K. Sorry, man. And then Aaron Rodgers going down. It just sucks for the NFL. Yeah, I mean, it's this. And Alan Lazard and Randall Cobb, who want the – do they get a refund on those tickets out to New York?

Lazard at least got a big bag of cash. But like, New York has been waiting for this basically since February. February, because that's when the whole saga started. You had the darkness retreat, it came out. He decided, I want to play for the New York Jets. He goes on the McAfee show and tells Pat, I want to be a New York Jet. And from that moment, it was done. It was now we are waiting for Aaron Rodgers opening week to be our quarterback.

I mean, I thought you were saying they've been waiting for this since the butt fumble. Sure. I mean, they've been hoping for a good quarterback for a long time. So the passing weapons, it's a huge downgrade. Brees Hall. Oh, there was a silver lining in this game. Andy and my guy. Yeah, you and I have been big Brees guys.

Brees Hall, who we supported. How freaking dare you. No, how dare you, sir. How dare you. How dare you. You will not take this from me. From my cold, dead hands. Well, I mean, he didn't really probably

help any of your fancy teams, right? Oh, he sure did. He helped me beat Mike in the Ballers Dynasty team. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brees Hall will... He looked alright. He looked alright. It was a little disappointing to see him not house that touchdown run.

Uninjured Brees Hall easily scores on that run. He just got tired. And Garrett Wilson didn't block for him. Did you see that? Yes. Brees Hall will get stronger and be more involved. The point is, Brees Hall will still be okay, but the range of outcomes where you're like,

Brees Hall can be that, you're like, oh, he's going to be, like, if he gets healthy, maybe he's a top two running back by the end of the season. That scoring upside is probably gone. It's brutal up and down for the Jets. 83-yard run that wasn't a touchdown for Brees Hall. Incredible. And on the other side, you saw James Cook get the majority of work in the backfield.

Was 12 for 46. Involved in the passing game with six targets against second best defense in football, best defense in football. I mean, the Jets and the Cowboys, who were my Super Bowl picks, their defenses looked the part. Yeah. And them, the 49ers, and the Patriots, I'll throw them in there. Those defenses week one just looked unstoppable.

Josh Allen committed four turnovers and took five sacks. Yeah, he did not play well. The highest receivers outside of Stephon Diggs were Dalton Kincaid and James Cook in terms of reception. You know, Gabe Davis didn't do much. Yeah, nobody did much. I mean, you threw out Dalton Kincaid as like the next highest. No, four for 26.

Yeah, 26 yards. It was like nobody did anything. It was Stephon. Same amount of targets as Dawson Knox. Stephon Diggs and check out. Yeah, Stephon Diggs had a great game. Also, shocking stuff, guys. So that final drive of the fourth quarter when they had to get yards

and he just starts. Oh, Mike was going off. Yeah, because Josh Allen threw so many interceptions and then at the end of the game where every team, the Jets know what's going to happen. Still didn't matter. And they threw the ball to Stephon Diggs over and over and over, and whoa, what happened?

We get in field goal range in a minute. Like, do that, you dummy. I was curious, do you have Diggs on your team? I do. Okay. And the truth just set you free. Am I wrong? No, you're not wrong.

Whenever you have a true alpha wide receiver one, it blows my mind that you don't just target them over and over and over and over. You watch Kirk do it for Justin Jefferson. It works. Do that with Garrett Wilson. Do that with these alpha stud wide receivers. They are good enough to just win 65, 70% of the time. Tyreek Hill did okay, just being targeted every play.

There you go. I think Josh Allen deserves a lot of criticism. Yes. He has been committing a ton of turnovers. We give Dak a hard time over the trends in his career. Josh Allen is heading that direction. This was a very tough defense. I think he didn't expect

Jordan Whitehead to be everywhere on the field. Really disappointing performance from Josh Allen in a game that they should have been able to sleepwalk their way to victory. It was turnovers. That was the only way that they were going to lose that football game

and special teams. All of it happened. Credit was the only way that they were going to lose that football game and special teams, and all of it happened. Credit to the Jets, man. Yeah, yeah. Great game by the Jets defense. Incredible game. But, I mean, I guess thank you to Josh Allen because part of what made the low-scoring game actually exciting is it wasn't punts.

It was Josh Allen loading up, trying to throw the ball the entire length of the field into double coverage. And he's like, not just the one time he's like, he tried it twice. He's like, no, no, no, no. This time it's going to work. Do you think Whitehead, do you think Josh Allen thought he was a bill? Maybe. I mean, because if you really want to look at leading receivers for Josh Allen, I mean, three receptions for Whitehead is pretty good.

That's up there. That's Morton Gabe Davis. Exactly. All right. Let's take a moment before we get into the news and the waiver wire after that reaction to last night. And let me remind you a couple things here. Follow us on socials at the FFBallers,

and the whole team here to expand those tools, including getting things out to mobile devices, working hard to make that better for you as we have been for the last nine years. Jointhefoot.com is where you want to go for that and then uh worth throwing this out there because we haven't mentioned it yet if you bought the udk plus during the off season you get the dfs pass jason yeah it was a very good first week for the dfs pass it was a great first week, and I wanted to make sure we talked about this

because we do so many things here, and the Foot Clan, obviously, we want you to succeed. And last year, every year, every year at the end of the year, we're like, we never really talked about our DFS pass for people, and I want people to use it because so many of you already have it. If you got the UDK Plus, you might not even know you have the DFS Pass, which you can get just going to dfspass.com.

Yeah, if you didn't get the UDK or you didn't get the UDK Plus. If you don't want it, it is incredible. If you play any DraftKings, FanDuel, our picks have been crushing. They really are good. If you want to do some prop bets, this last week we were 5-3

plus 2.38 units. Like we crushed last year and this is all in there for you guys to use. And we have a new lineup optimizer. I know that the person that won the $10,000 tournament last night was using our new optimizer. I'm telling you guys, these are tools that usually, like, if you go to a DFS-only site and they're like $150 a month every month for the whole year, we charge nothing for this. Very, very little. But the quality of the content in there, I just want to dap it up because Matthew Betts, Kyle Borgagnone, everybody that's in there. That we is our team. Yes, yes. It's our team.

They are just crushing, and I want to make sure the Foot Clan knows that that information is there for you. If you've got the UDK Plus, you already have it. If you don't have it, go to dfspass.com and get it. And I have to say this, too. We have a new Tournament Takes rider as a part of the DFS Pass, Matt Hakeem, who we've known for a couple of years. He joined up this year.

He's a former Millie Maker winner. And then his first week as part of the DFS Pass, he's delivering content to you, took home $70K. Yeah, it's just what he does. Yeah, I'm going to just send him my paycheck. All right, let's go ahead and get into the news. News and notes from around the league. Presented by USAA Insurance.

Well, there were other injuries we have to mention that weren't season enders but are going to really define the way you treat the waiver wire this week. Austin Eckler, you guys speculated? Nope, not injured, not hurt. He is totally fine. There is nothing going on. He will be at 110%. Eckler, are you listening?

Please, please. Oh, Jason had J.K. Dobbins and Eckler. Here's the real report. Eckler dealing with an ankle injury. His practice status for the week is unknown. He's a tough dude. He's probably going to be out there, but that's

going to raise Mr. Joshua Kelly. Yeah. His waiver ranking is very interesting. That one's a tough call. It is. Because it could be really high upside for a temporary amount of time. Because what we don't know about Joshua Kelly

is one, was it a level up of the Chargers offense? Was it the Miami defense? And the workload that Joshua Kelly was getting early on in the game. When was Eckler's ankle injury? Right, because Eckler had that huge play later in the game. The play where me and Jason saw him walking strangely. This was, I think, the back half of the third quarter, but Joshua Kelly was already getting snaps to that point,

and Joshua Kelly was looking fantastic. They have tried to find somebody to compliment Eckler, and they just never work, so you don't get it. So, yeah, it's going to be a tough call. Aaron Jones hamstring, They're still evaluating it. They weren't in a situation where they had to put him back out there. So we'll see what happens this week.

Kenny Gainwell after 18 opportunities in Philadelphia dealing with a rib injury. And I saw a report early this morning that said Fletcher Cox and him both dealing with the ribs. Cox was going to be okay, but Kenneth Gainwell was a wait-and-see approach for the rib injury.

He had almost all of the work for Philadelphia against the tough New England defense. So if he's out, you're starting to look at DeAndre Swift, and Rashad Penny would likely be active, and good luck. Yeah, very curious how that split would work. Swift was not good. So I'm curious if Gamewell's actually out, do they just say, okay, well, Penny, you're that role.

And it's going to be another situation where you're making Kenny Gamewell waiver decisions today. Yeah. Yeah. And that injury could. Which a reminder, that game is Thursday night. So that's... The report on Gainwell is

missing practices. That's the fake practice of Monday. I also missed the fake practice for what it's worth. The teams have to report should you have practiced, who would have practiced, who would not have. So they're saying Gainwell would not have with a regular season

or a regular week. Deontay Johnson sidelined a few weeks due to the hamstring injury. This is great news, even though it's terrible. Well, it's great news for how he went down. The way he went down was like you worried that it ripped off the bone and this would be a surgery season-ending situation. The fact that it's a couple of weeks. Now, this will be –

Yeah, we'll see. This was a few weeks. This was hardcore, so I would expect at least a month. I won't be surprised if they throw him on the IR. Plus, it'll be when he comes back, are you worried about it situation? Yeah.

Jonathan, do you drop him? Deontay? Yeah, like let's say you don't have an IR. Obviously, we've got an IR. You just throw him on there. But if you're in a league that doesn't have an IR, do you hold on to Deontay Johnson? Save that question for waivers. We'll mention the wide receiver names, and then we'll make that decision. Yeah, I guess it depends on who you're picking up.

Jonathan Gannon said Joshua Dobbs will start week two against the Giants. But the advantage! Why would you let him know already? Now the Giants know! They can game play. Jonathan Gannon, shame on you Evan Hull will miss some time due to the knee injury Zach Moss could return this week

I had to laugh because this is why you let a few weeks go by the number one defense against wide receivers right now is Carolina nice and I think it was one target to Drake London they shut down Drake London and then the number two defense against

running backs on the year is Jacksonville who shut down Deion Jackson in his multiple fumbles. If Zach Moss does return, which they're saying he has a chance to return, if Zach Moss is playing, it's Houston and Zach Moss, in my estimation,

will be the guy. And that's very interesting. Also a hamstring estimation, will be the guy. And that's very interesting. Greg Dolce, also a hamstring injury, will miss multiple weeks. All right, that was today's News and Notes presented by USAA Insurance. Learn more at USAA.com slash insurance. All right, let's get into the waiver wire. Welcome to the waiver wire presented by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV. All right, put on your thinking caps.

Let's put it that way. This is going to be tough. It will. And there might be some receipts on these because week one judgment calls, overreactions, danger zone, right? Yes, very much. Like you can make some huge mistakes. Last year, Christian Kirk had a great week one. Dak Prescott went down week one.

CeeDee Lamb didn't have a good game, and it was like, well, is CeeDee Lamb going to be done because of the injury? Lots of tough calls. Wide receiver drop candidates. You just mentioned Deontay with the injury the questions out there right now it's Drake London no no Rashad Bateman Van Jefferson Jefferson sure Sky Moore no oh for sure you're trying okay I know I'm not dropping Sky Moore I would never have had him on my team. I could not possibly drop him. I'll tell you what.

I would drop Skymore. I would not. I would drop Skymore over Kadarius Toney. Yeah, I would drop Skymore over Rasheed Rice. Skymore has had a year and a game with plenty of opportunity to prove that he sucks. It does seem like that's the right take, and that's probably the right take with Tony too because you don't play that many games without demanding more.

And in this last week, you couldn't have needed him more. He couldn't have had more opportunity. He ran the most routes. I mean, everything was set up to succeed. If you just can't succeed forever, at some point you pull the cord. I mean, we're just saying in the grand scheme of overall, would you drop him? We can get into the names.

Yeah, let's do it. Of Puka, sure. I'll drop Sky Moore for Puka. Kendrick Bourne, yeah, I would drop him for Kendrick Bourne. Romeo Dobbs, that one's really tough because his numbers were so – I mean, four catches for 26 yards, but, of course, two of them were touchdowns, so the yardage is going to be a little bit shorter. Romeo Dobbs is a tough case.

Romeo Dobbs is for sure. I mean, he was still limited. He played fewer than 50% of the snaps and looked good on his limited work, looked good in camp, showed flashes last year. So, you know, if you're talking Dobbs versus Sky Moore, that's an easy Dobbs for me. It's Eileen Dobbs in that case. But there's a bunch of names where I wouldn't drop Sky Moore.

I would drop drake london for puka nakua wow that is spicy yeah i i will say this it we need to we need to make sure that we we don't get too spicy to be spicy but also that you don't wait too long i mean it is an honest conversation to say no i i i want you to because I think you might be right here. Drake London is the more beautifully constructed train that I would like to ride, but the road that you're going on, it's way too bumpy. You're never going to...

Drake London's going to have a game here or there. He's probably only going to have a game when he scores. He's not going to put up 9 for 156 in a touchdown. Yeah, it seems unlikely. He's going to put up 3 for 54 in a touchdown on his good game. I mean, it is spicy because Puka is, like if Cooper Cup was out for the season, how much Fab gets dropped on Puka Nakua? Oh.

I mean, how much would he be worth? Yeah, I mean, you've got to call your shot I believed 15 targets man targets are earned I believed that he was a really good prospect beforehand so maybe this is like confirmation bias but when you have both of those and you you thought he was good and then he gets the opportunity and he dominates with it I would dump a ton now he is playing San Francisco then on the road at Cincinnati for the next two matchups yeah it's not great the targets man oh yeah I'm kind of it was incredible I'm really into targets what I will say yeah 15 targets is awesome but you do expect Cooper Cup to come back when Cooper

Cup comes back those 15 targets belong to Cooper Cup the problem is is when is he coming back just because you went on IR doesn is when is he coming back? Just because he went on IR doesn't mean he's coming back in four weeks. Can't come back until week five, so you've got a month. But like Mike said, you've got a couple bad matchups here during that month, so you could end up wasting a little bit too much. If he comes back in week five, Puka might not be the best pickup. If he comes back in week eight, Puka's going to win you some weeks in the meantime. So, I mean, I would spend at least

like right now with all of those variables involved, I'm willing to spend 25% on Puka. That was the number in my head as well. He is probably my number one wide receiver pickup, but to me there are... He is easily my number one. There are three guys in my opinion that

I am really wanting. If they're on the waivers I am going after them for sure and that's Puka Nakua Romeo Dobbs who I believe is going to be the one for this team that will be more involved and

Jordan Love looked good and then Jacoby Myers my worry with Jacoby is the concussion we won is in concussion protocol. We won't have information. We will not have any concussion information. If we knew that he was healthy and active this week, I would be all in on him.

We don't know that. In fact, I expect that he will maybe miss this week. So that takes it down a notch. I'm not spinning up on anybody but Puka. You don't believe in Dobbs? Dobbs would be the second one for me. I'm not spinning up on anybody but Puka. I feel like Dobbs would be the second one for me. I'm not really in on Jacoby. And Kendrick Bourne I'm completely not in on. Oh, really?

Kendrick Bourne has had games like this throughout his entire career. He has had big games, but I don't know that we've seen an 11-target game. He's had multi-touchdown games with lots of catches I look I it's just calling your shot on who you think the the week one uh Greg Ogletree is and that's Kendrick Bourne to me yeah absolutely it could be we Andy's right we've seen Kendrick Bourne show flashes of big games in the past the one statistic that is shocking that makes me a little bit more in on Kendrick Bourne as at least taking a shot this week is the fact that he ran the most routes among all wide receivers in the NFL this week. So it's like he was out there to be the one, and then he was with the 11 targets, and he plays against Miami Dolphins this week.

So you could have that back-and-forth fair like you had with the Chargers. So I'm interested in Kendrick Bourne. I'm not pushing chips in, but I'll throw him for a cheap, maybe free waiver. I'm putting some decent chips. I went and looked back, so his three years. He's got an eight-year career. Sure, but in his three years with New England, he's never seen as many snaps as he got that in week one they were down 17 nothing instantaneously though yeah sure but it but if

he's going to be the primary like if he's going to be the number one wide receiver then he's interesting because I I think he is a a good capable wide receiver and looking at the depth chart you dropping Drake London for no not not for Kendrick Bourne dropping Drake London for Kendrick Bourne. Are you dropping Drake London for any of those guys? I am not dropping Drake London for any of those guys. I love Puka, and I wanted to listen to your argument. The thing that I, thinking through it a little bit more, I don't want to overreact to the Carolina Panthers game where the Atlanta Falcons,

I know that they're going to run the ball a ton. They want to run. They want to run when they're down. But at the same time, when they are up by multiple scores, they will do nothing but run. You know, that one target for Drake Lennon, they did not need to throw the ball.

And, you know, I don't believe that that will be the norm for the Atlanta Falcons. I said I think they win this division this year, but I still don't believe that they're blowing teams out on the reg. I think they'll run all the time. But it's not just the running. It was

interesting to see what the targets were doing. So I'm trying to pull them all up, but Bijan had Sorry, I'm trying to type and do this. Bijan had a 35% target share and Bijan's a great pass catcher, but he's not going to see 35% targets. Yeah. I mean, I cannot listen to target share. And Bijan's a great pass catcher, but he's not going to see 35% of the targets.

He had six targets. I cannot listen to target share about the Falcons ever again. Target share matters not at all. But the point is, and Algier was at 18%, so over 50% of the targets went just to the running back

position, and that... He has a point against Drake London. It is, but that's not something that is sustainable and it won't... I would bet very large amounts of money that we won't see 50 plus percent of the targets going to the running back position by the end of the year.

And it will shift. And Drake London is the number one wide receiver. I don't... Like I said, Puka's the guy I'll spend up on this week because the upside is tremendous. He's a rookie. He played for the quarterback that had the second best game of the entire week. They don't know where Cooper Cup's status is going to be,

and he's not disappearing when Cooper Cup comes back. Puka's going to be the number two target in this offense, in my opinion. I hope so. I could easily see this team. I could see Van Jefferson being the two wide receiver sets, Cooper Cup, Van Jefferson. Van Jefferson hangs out with Sky Moore. Well, Van Jefferson is not that dude.

I mean, there are certain guys that we know aren't that dude. Joshua Palmer, not that dude. Right. KJ Osborne, not that dude. Demarcus Robinson, not that dude. There are wide receivers who are good NFL wide receivers. I think Van Jefferson's a good NFL wide receiver. He's fine.

He's important to a franchise. But when you get the opportunity to be an alpha, you just don't have it. You can't be an alpha. And so, you know, that's kind of the thing with Kendrick Bourne and not going after him is we know he's not that dude. He's eight years in the league. We know he's not a dominant force. Van Jefferson snaps at the end of last year.

We're 100% 97, 98, 94, 94, 97. Yep. Three targets, five targets, two targets, four targets. Week one is very indicative of for Van Jefferson for the remainder of the season.

Tutu Atwell or Van Jefferson? Tutu. But Puka's – I think once Cooper Cupp comes back, if Cooper comes back, Puka will be more safe. He was an outside wide receiver. Puka Cupp? Yes. Puka was an outside wide receiver.

Cooper Cupp is going to play the slot for about half the snaps like he always does, and it'll be interesting to see if Tutu can keep that going. The last point I'll make for Puka is it's not just San Francisco. The fact that the pass rush on Matthew Stafford next week is going to be way stronger than it was what Seattle was able to put up against Stafford. Stafford had a fantastic game. It looked like vintage Stafford, but he was also able to just rip clean throws. So when Nick Bosa and company are bearing down on you, it wouldn't surprise me to see a complete 180 for Puka's output.

Clearly we have some very contrasting opinions with the waiver wire in week one, and for good reason. You have one week of data and information. Jacoby, I get it. You're trying to capture your Renfro of days of old in this offense with Garoppolo. They also face a pretty tough denver defense so i def factors into my thought process there i don't mind you picking up uh jacoby like

i dropped van jefferson bateman sky more mims i dropped those guys for jacoby for sure sure but i'd only spend myself i'd only probably spend like five percent yeah i i agree especially considering you you assume you're not going to have him give me one more wide receiver name that people should pick up on the cheat just to keep an eye on Rashid Shahid would be the name that is it yeah that for for me that would be the name I would look at just because he he showed flashes it's tough when you've got three wide receivers there Michael Thomas looked good obviously Chris Olave is is great but Rashid Shahid got valuable types of targets and looked good with him. Yeah, if you couldn't

deduce that from the Michael Thomas, Chris Olave, he is a Saints wide receiver, but he would be my next guy up to take a shot on and kind of stash and see if he played 54% of the snaps. I mean, how many more weeks do we have Michael Thomas? You know what I mean? Okay, if you're going

to factor that into the evaluation, sure. The Titans secondary is very beatable, so the game plan of all the wide receivers having a great day, that's not surprising to me. But moving forward, Alvin Kamara will eventually be back, and the running back position will start to get more targets. Kendra Miller could even be healthy this this week and we see a bunch more targets to the running back the name i was gonna throw it it's it's the spot starter man he's back it's zay jones of the jacksonville jaguars who ran 89 or he was on 89 of the snaps seven targets five for 55 and his touchdown was a truly elite level of a of a

catch damn hands calvin ridley is the number one wide receiver for the jags as of right now zay jones is easily the number two it's not like well kirk no it's christian kirk couldn't get on the field it was z Zay Jones and Calvin Ridley, and if you believe in the ascension of the Jaguars offense with Trevor Lawrence, Zay Jones is going to be the secondary option and could move from a spot

starter to a starter. For me, it's going to be Nico Collins. 11 targets, 6 for 80, going to be out there every play. CJ Stroud, they're going to be in negative game scripts. They just get that delicious garbage. Yeah, I mean, 11 targets, six for 80, going to be out there every play. C.J. Stroud, they're going to be in negative game scripts. They just get that delicious garbage. Yeah, I mean, 11 targets. I like paying attention to that number.

Robert Woods would be a backup on that. He had 10 targets. Those two receivers are going to get all of the targets in Houston. They may be gross, nasty, ugly targets. Oh, delicious garbage. But they all count the same. Oh, speaking of gross, nasty, ugly, I don't want to say it out loud, but with the Deontay Johnson injury,

there was a man who got eight targets, and his target volume might go up, and his name is Allen Robinson II. What was that name? His name is Allen Robinson II. What's that? Wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, former superstar, Allen Robinson II. Allen Robinson in the second. Allen Robinson in the second. I mean, 5 for 64, would that have been his best game

last year? Probably. Probably. Other than touchdown case. And I'll throw out Allen Robinson could legit get a bunch of targets. He definitely could. The website, thefantasyfootballers.com, it will have our entire waiver rankings. We can't discuss every single player because there's still a whole bunch

of other wide receivers who are interesting like Rasheed Rice of the Kansas City Chiefs. But if you're in a deeper league and you're like, you're not talking about the guys I need, we have it for you, thefantasyfootballers.com. Wait, 64 yards? Is that what he got? Five for 64.

Oh, one higher than his season high last year. Yeah, yeah. And you're not playing San Francisco every week, so Pickett should be better than what we saw. Should you pick a pounder? I told you guys he had to be in the waiver wire. I know, and I had him at the bottom, and the more I think about it, I'm like, The problem is, do you have self-respect?

I do, and that is the problem because I don't want to pick him up now. All right, quick break. Back with the running backs.

Insurance designed for life. all right well let's let's see how much massive debate we have at the running back position uh my top three pickups are kenny gainwell at number one raheem mostard at two and tyler algera at three mike where are you uh kenny gainwell would be my my top pick mostardostert is tough because he's so highly rostered, but he's a name that you need to double check. And Algier at three, I do not mind it at all because his output was incredible, 15 for 75, two touchdowns. But a lot of it came at the end of the game

when they were taking care of business. And I don't know that – I think the Falcons will be okay, but I don't know that they'll be able to close out like that. My concern with him is just the – I mean, over the course of the year, the odds are that Bijan Robinson will take a majority – That's what I mean. Or at least an increase in snaps to Algiers. So the kind of like crossing lines there, B. John's going to get more.

Yes. Algier will get less. He will not score twice a week. He's still, in my opinion, a good pickup because depth at running back is, I mean, you get through this week, like you're just grabbing for running back. You want some. But that's the only reason I have him behind the other two guys. Most are, like you said, majority owned.

Gainwell, 18 opportunities in a great offense. They went up against New England this week. He was still viable for your fantasy teams, but you're worried about the ribs now. Yeah, for me, Gainwell's my third. I know for you guys, you both were talking yesterday when we were discussing. He was easily your far and away one.

I would rather have Mosteroster and Algier ahead of them Algier you are 100% right Andy that he's not going to get two touchdowns a week and his opportunities will become fewer as Bijon's becomes uh greater but the Falcons I mean the same reason you don't want Drake London is the same reason you should be picking up Tyler Algier they want to run the ball they will run the ball enough to have multiple people be important. We saw it last year. You had Caleb Huntley having great games. You had Tyler Algier having great games. They're always going to have multiple running backs having opportunities. The fact that they used him around the goal line gave him 15 carries. He was involved in the passing

game as well. Like Tyler Algier should absolutely be picked up, probably started for the next month or so until we see something that says, no, he's not touching the ball 15 times a game. You know, then you put him on the bench. So I think I go Algier, Mostert, Gainwell. Mostert should definitely be picked up, but probably rostered in most leagues. If you lost Dobbins, which you did in our League of Record, if Algier were on the waiver wire, you'd go after him instead of taking a shot on one of the Baltimore RBs of either Justin Sill or Gus Edwards?

If there was clarity there? You will not have clarity. I believe, and so we should talk about the Baltimore guys because it is my current belief based on what we saw in training camp when J.K. Dobbins was gone uh what we how we saw the utilization in preseason and I know Gus was dealing with his own injuries from time to time but I I think it will be Justice Hill and I will be putting my bet on Justice Hill as the J.K. Dobbins replacement Justice Hill is not great but he he is good enough, I think, to be involved.

And we saw a couple targets going to Dobbins. I think that the running backs will be a little bit more involved in the passing game. That will certainly be Justice Hill, not Gus Edwards. But then you have the wrench of, okay, they bring Melvin Gordon, activate him, and maybe it's a three-headed timeshare and you just don't want any of them. I wouldn't be spinning up on any of them. I'd spend but like 5%. I'm not getting them because the problem is that gamble has not been a fruitful one in Baltimore for three years. If you don't have J.K. Dobbins,

you are hoping this is the week that it was Devonta Freeman has a good week. I'm not saying you can't get a start, but you are rolling the dice. Sure. I agree with that. I would still probably go. And it's not that offense anymore. I would lean more in the 10% to 15% range for Justice Hill, or if you believe it's Gus Edwards because he's always been a good running back,

I'm fine with that. But would you rather have Kyron Williams and his 15 carries? I would. I would rather have Kyron Williams over there. So that puts them fifth and sixth in the order. Joshua Kelly? I think Joshua Kelly is a mandatory pickup. I would take Justice Hill over Joshua Kelly

just because you've already got the injury to the starter, but I do agree with Mike. Joshua Kelly is a mandatory pickup, and honestly— Oh, man. I can't do this. Someone else say what I was about to say. Zach Moss. Thank you.

Zach Moss, again, should he be able to play, which we don't have the information that he will actually be ready to play week two, but if he is ready to go against Houston, just that one start because then you have Baltimore and then the Rams. But if you need a guy on, like, you're not high in priority or you're not ready to spend fab and you're like, I got to get an RB2 play, just something. Zach Moss is that something.

Yeah, it's tough because I know Richardson's going to get the goal in like he did last week. Maybe. Then you have to lean on Zach Moss. I mean, he already got hurt doing it. Are you dropping the three carries and one reception for Antonio Gibson? Oh, man. I'm letting him go.

I am moving on from Antonio Gibson. I don't think he's a must drop, but if you've got these players out there, there's so many running backs that you can pick up this week that are important. With better upside. With better upside. Antonio Gibson, the fact that he fumbled week one and that was his big issue last year, I just feel like they're going to take him out behind the shed.

They've wanted to forever. I can't believe he fumbled again. I mean, I could believe it. I'm going to throw a name out there that's my number four pickup. That's R number four pickup. Okay. So that's Roshon Johnson. I believe in Roshon Johnson's future for this organization.

I've watched the game. I thought he ran better than any of the other running backs. He was a tougher runner. He was a third down back. He's going to catch the football. I know his touchdown was late. I don't care. It's his first game as a pro.

I think he's the best running back on the roster. So I personally, I think you can get him for nothing. You know what? Three, $4 of fab. Yeah. Put them on your roster. And then you might have what we've had for years, which is a rookie running back, making a late season contribution that actually matters for your fantasy team. And I know that I'm alone in having him at four,

but I liked what I saw with my eyeballs on the field of Roshon Johnson. He's an interesting player, but he would be like, you're not picking him up to play him this week. Of course not. He's a stash. He's a stash. So, which that's part of the strategy of fantasy football. If you are one of the very few lucky teams that made it through week one

without having something devastating happen to your running back crew, then, yeah, you should be looking at Roshan, see what happens in week two. Tajay Spears, who somehow out-snapped Derrick Henry. He only had three carries, but he was on the field a lot. And he got at least two just crazy deep wheel shots, throws. It didn't pay off, but

the fact that they were actually willing to try it was interesting. And Sean Tucker of the Tampa Bay Bucs, he remains a very interesting stash. But this is just a long-term stash candidate. Yeah yeah Tajay Spears was on the field that's great but he's not able to play his way into the one that's impossible only an injury to Derrick Henry would would give him real fantasy relevance Sean Tucker is the best

running back on that roster for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers uh the undrafted rookie I think he I think he does play his way into the starting role that's where I'm at with Roshan I think he does play his way into the starting role. That's where I'm at with Roshan. I think he will end up in that spot. And the funny thing about the Roshan numbers in week one is that people are like, oh, it's garbage time. They've lost 11 straight games, people. He had the most snaps of any running back on the team. They've lost 11 straight games. If you saw what you saw in week one and think they're going to have a winning streak here soon roshan's going to get second halves of piles of games this year and uh you know they're the future is kalia horbert is not the future in my opinion now you said running back four and we we talked about the big three kenny gainwell raheem mostard if he's available in tyler lg or if he's available

but would you would you really take roshan over kyron will? Kyron, to me, is another one of those situations where he— If you need to start a guy this week, Kyron's more guaranteed a volume, but they play San Francisco. So it's a matter of what you're looking at on your— Like, if you played this week and you didn't end up starting Antonio Gibson or Deion Jackson, you're probably going to play the running backs that you have, and then you're going to look to the future. And to me, Kyron's a great pickup.

I mean, I think Kyron is right in the mix there. I think he is a good pickup. I have him right behind Roshan. But I think it's still volatile. Like, it wouldn't surprise me if next week Cameron was back to being the workhorse running back. All right, tight ends. It was disgusting last week.

In fact, the target leader at the tight end position. Cannot wait to say this. Oh, my gosh. It's going to hurt you even more than the Zach Moss comment, Jason. Do you know who it is? Who got the most targets at the tight end position? Of all tight ends in week one. Oh, it's beautiful.

Oh, just smell that dirty old garbage. Zach Ertz? Zach Ertz! Oh, no. It wasn't really. It was Zach Ertz. Zach Ertz with 10 targets. Yeah.

Embarrassing. Oh, baby. What are you doing, Cardinal? Oh, doing exactly what I thought they'd do. Also, trying not to win. No, just getting him back because he gets targets, man. Yeah, he gets targets. And an offense featuring Zach Ertz

is not a serious offense. Do you not know how to get the number one pick, Mike? If you're trying to trust... Dobbs to Ertz again. Dobbs to Ertz. If you're trusting the process, good. But I'm saying, a serious NFL franchise is not featuring Zach Ertz. When you

spent a second round pick on an extremely talent-oozing tight end, see if he can actually do anything. This is ridiculous. So are you saying you would even sniff picking up Zach Ertz, who had 10 targets and finished with 21 yards on 10 targets? Yeah, look at the tight end position this past week. Blake. On 10 targets. Yeah, look at the tight end position this past week.

Blake Bell was number four. Zach Ertz was number 21. I know. With 10 targets. Yeah, but you'd have to lean on the targets at the tight end position. You can't lean on the touchdown outlier, Blake Bell. I do. You just lean.

Cardinals are going to be in negative game scripts all season long. Zach Ertz is on the field. They pay him a ton of money. They brought him back. Just ignore the name. Take the 10 targets. Take Logan Thomas. Take the old men because you need to get production.

You can't just, you know. Most teams. I'm not saying he's the number one pick. No, no, no, no, no, no. He is certainly not. He's fifth best at best. There is a great, great, great pickup this week. Hunter.

And it's Hunter. Hunter Henry is two things. One, really good. Yeah. Like, he's actually a good tight end. Has been his entire career. He has never not been a good NFL tight end. He hasn't been a superstar for fantasy, but he hasn't been irrelevant for fantasy either. He's reliable. He's reliable. He is reliable.

He's had double-digit touchdowns. The New England Patriots offense against the Philadelphia Eagles defense, a great defense, they looked so much better than last year. Mack looked so much better, and Hunter Henry was maybe his best guy out there. I mean, I know we got Kendrick Bourne, but he ran the third most routes for the tight end position. He gets a great matchup against Miami. I mean, I know we got Kendrick Bourne, but he ran the third most routes for the tight end position. He gets a great matchup against Miami. The reason that we went Gerald Everett as such a good play is because Miami's really bad at guarding tight ends.

Parham! Yeah, Everett didn't work out, but Donald Parham did the other tight end. So Hunter Henry, to me, is like 80% of every league should be dropping whoever their tight end is because you're streaming. You've got garbage anyways. And picking up Hunter Henry for a play this week. So let's put that to the test then because the matchup is good for Sam Laporta and he's a rookie. And his participation in the game, you said you were impressed.

I was super impressed. He just literally walked in and was basically TJ Hawkinson in the offense. Laporta, I would still take ahead of Hunter Henry. I think Henry's a great start this week. But from a long view, I would take Laporta. Where are you at with that, guys? I am 100% fine taking that approach, given the fact that Laporta has a ceiling we don't know.

I am anti-rookie tight ends. If I'm looking this week and all I want to do is stream every single week, I'm definitely going Hunter Henry over Laporta. But if you want a longer view and you hope that something magical happens, that's Laporta. Because after the Miami matchup for Hunter Henry, you've got the Jets defense on the road, no thank you,

and the Dallas defense on the road, no thank you. So this is a one-week Hunter Henry play. Where LaPorta is, Seattle, Atlanta, then Green Bay, Musgrave. Musgrave was so close to a humongous day. If you watch that game,

he was missed on two long times. Well, one of them he caught and fell down. And would have scored. I guarantee you, if he gets in the end zone there. He's the number one tight end on the week. He's the number one pickup on the week. And then he also was just missed on another deep shot. I love the downfield targets for Musgrave.

He's at the – I would take him over Ferguson. I would as well. So, to me, it's Laporta, Musgrave, Henry for me. Yeah. For me this week, it's Henry, Laporta, Musgrave, Henry. For me. For me this week, it's Henry, Laporta, Musgrave. Yeah, Ferguson is tough. He had

seven targets. I mean, if you're chasing targets, it did not turn into production. It was two for 11. And he only ran 14 routes, which you could say, well, he only ran 14 routes. That's terrible. 50% targets per round run. But also that game was not –

that was not a game for the Dallas offense that I'm taking any real – I'm not extracting any real data from that week one when you win, what, 40-0? Yeah, certainly not from the passing game. The passing game, you've got to throw that out. That being said, they play the Jets this week, so it's not a matchup you're like, oh, I can't wait to get Fergie in there. Let me surface another player that's worthy of being talked about

because this team, around the red zone, they've leaned on tight ends in the past, but they've had multiple, so you didn't know who it was. Mike Gesicki departed, and Durham Smythe ran 100% of the snaps in this game. He had seven targets for Tua, was three for 44, third most tight in routes run, played every down. Couldn't you do worse?

You could do worse, but you could do better. Smythe is, you know, I think he's just a below average talent his opportunity the offense he's in the fact that he's a uh every down player I mean there's a lot to like here you could absolutely do worse but I wouldn't have Smythe above those other guys um in fact I don't think I would have Smythe above Hayden Hurst yeah Hayden Hurst um you. Hayden Hurst, you know, kind of a bust on his first-round NFL draft pedigree. I like him. But with Adam Thielen there, Hayden Hurst seemed like a really important part of the Carolina offense.

He had seven targets. He was five for 41 and a touchdown. I mean, what was he this week? Was he like the number two tight end on the week? He had to have been up there. Number two, yeah. Man, what a week for tight ends. Please come back, Travis.

Please come back, Andrews. So, we're moving into defensive waiver pickups, which, look, you know some things. You don't want to pick up my boy? Oh, Adam Troutman? Yeah. I would not like to do that. If Adam Troutman gets seven receptions this week, it will be for 30 yards.

No, he had five for 34, Jason. So if he had seven. I saw those routes. He will tack another 12 yards on there. Nope, not interested. All right. But you can be. I'd rather have the other guys.

So, looking at defenses, to me, my favorite pickup of the week, you have Cleveland who takes on Pittsburgh and Kenny Pickett. It's on the road. I like that. I like Cleveland this week. But my favorite pickup is the New Orleans Saints. I mean, the New Orleans Saints play Bryce Young I want a rookie quarterback the Colts and the Saints play rookie quarterbacks this week Saints were a great defense producing points last week I was surprised that they

weren't at the tippy top of the list but where are you guys at with favorite pickups yeah I mean there's a couple. The Saints are great. The Broncos are great. But those are both mostly rostered. If you're looking at a matchup where you've got a defense that is widely available, I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don't think their defense looked bad week one. They've got Justin Fields in Chicago at home.

Justin Fields will Chicago at home. Justin Fields will take four sacks or so. Yeah, and probably throw a pick. I'm just saying the baseline for it, that's not a matchup that you would project to have a whole bunch of scoring, so that's great for your DST. Justin Fields has a threshold of sacks that he has to hit. It's mandatory every single week.

And then the potential for turnovers. I like the Giants, too. I was going to ask, which pair of steel underpants do you want to put on? Giants are better than the Cardinals. They're a better football team. So I'm taking the Giants' defense against the Cardinals, not the Cardinals' defense against the Giants. Not only that, but you look at what the – I know the Cardinals were in the game.

They had a chance to win. They were there against the Giants. Not only that, but you look at what the, I know the Cardinals were in the game, they had a chance to win, they were, you know, there at, you know, against the Manders. The Giants are four-point road favorites, despite what they did. Of course they are, because the Cardinals didn't score a touchdown, an offensive touchdown, their defense scored a touchdown. Please go back to the note about 10 targets to Zach Hurts. Yeah, exactly. So, I mean, this is, if you start the Giants, it is very safe. There's not a world where the Cardinals go out and put up 30 points and give you a negative. How many touchdowns did the Giants score?

Yeah, I mean, this might be a really, really low-scoring game both ways. TBD. I think the Giants will get right this week. I do, too. There's a salve for a 40-to-nothing loss, and it's the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, so, you know, the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, so you know the Arizona Cardinals, they love giving points up to the tight end position. So the Wallerists should have a good bounce back here.

The Colts, they're not rostered, and I think they're a good enough defense. And C.J. Stroud, I love targeting rookie quarterbacks. Pay attention to that. The Cardinals' defense on the other side of the Giants, I don't think is a good play, but I think it's a really good DFS play. If you want to take a shot at what's

going to be a super cheap high upside at home against a team that just imploded upon itself if it does it again. Alright, thanks again to our sponsor NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV. With NFL Sunday Ticket, it's never been easier to keep up with all your favorite fantasy players.

All right. all right well it's time to pick out a waiver wire streaming option at the quarterback position that well we believe you could throw out there this week and get production from it is mike's pick because this is the correct it is it is the correct pick it It is the least available pick. But I'm looking. So Yahoo has him at 70%. So

it is possible that he's on your waiver wire. It is Mr. Jared Goff. Jared Girff. Even if he's not on your waiver wire, he probably wasn't drafted to be your starter. He's probably the complement to taking whatever, Richardson or somebody. So this week, it looks... It's going to be great. It's going to be your starter. He's probably the complement to taking whatever, Richardson or somebody.

So this week it looks – It's going to be great. It's going to be Jared Goff at home against Seattle. Do we get the exact same game we got last year? You know what I'm afraid of? That would be pretty freaking sweet. I'm afraid Detroit's defense is good and Geno and them do what they did. That could be a problem.

That would be the only thing that disrupts it because all of a sudden you'll have David Montgomery and Jameer Gibbs leading the way because they're in the lead. We don't have the information right now about Seattle's injured offensive linemen. Oh, boy. Will they be able to go or not? That will be a huge thing.

But it was last year, Seattle versus Detroit, week four, 93 combined points. But Jerkoff at home last year, over versus Detroit, week four, 93 combined points. But Jared Goff at home last year, over 20 fantasy points a game, averaged nearly 275 passing yards and two-and-a-half passing touchdowns. They have the third-highest team implied total of the week at 27 points. Jared Goff, if he's on your waiver wire or if he's your QB2 in a single quarterback league, I'm going to be rolling with him this week. Jared Goff should be a top six quarterback this week.

He should, yeah. In general. So he should be started. So we've got kind of a sliding scale here of streaming options. Jared Goff is the right one, but probably not available. The next best option is Andes, who is probably available and is a better play than mine. Brock Purdy.

Yes. Who is the first quarterback in the history of the NFL to win his first six starts with two touchdowns in every single one of the games. I don't think we've really, you know, entertained the idea that Brock Purdy could be useful for fantasy football. And yet we love Brandon Aik. We love Debo. We love Christian McCaffrey's passing.

We love Kittle, and I don't think we've entertained Brock Purdy could actually be, at minimum, a good streaming option in the right matchup. You know, the Rams looked really good. San Francisco's on the road. It's a 26-point implied team total for the 49ers, and Brock Purdy is probably going to throw two touchdowns.

He probably will. I love the call there. I saw a piece of news go really under the radar, and it did make me tingle a little bit. Whoa, spider senses? Yeah, little spidey senses. Did you see the 49ers brought in, I believe today, Ian Book in for a visit? Quarterback Ian Book. it's probably nothing. They're bringing in, you know, you can hold

three quarterbacks on your game day roster. So, hopefully it's absolutely nothing. But I was like, when they brought him in the day after, you know, it's like, how's that elbow, Brock? It looked great. That rumor has been in part the idea that they could move

Sam Darnold. Yeah, there they could move Sam Darnold. Yeah, there we go. Sam Darnold could be moved. Yeah, the Jets. How ironic. Oh, no. They can't. I don't think they can do that.

Of course not. But, you know. Or can they? 49ers know that they'll need four to eight quarterbacks in a year. You know the Jets do. All right. So, Maya. What should they do?

They should send that third-round pick to Dallas and go for it, baby. Go get Trey Lance. Do it. You don't need another guy throwing picks for your team. Yeah. He will fumble. Yeah, thank you, Mike. It's a good point.

If Brock Purdy, Jared Goffergun, if you're in a league where you've got a lot of people holding on to two quarterbacks, we're getting nasty here, but I do think it's a good matchup. And Baker Mayfield looked all right week one. He's got two great targets in Mike Evans, who he hit for a touchdown. And honestly, he hit Mike Evans for another touchdown. Mike Evans dropped the ball. Chris Godwin there, and they've got a matchup against Chicago.

Jordan Love just destroyed Chicago. Three touchdowns. Here's the quarterbacks with three-plus touchdowns this week and zero interceptions. It was Jordan Love. That's it this last week. Baker Mayfield has that matchup at home. The Bucs are three-point favorites, so I'm not worried about Chicago's defense.

No, no, and Baker was one of the top five rated PFF passers this week. Tua was number one. Stafford was number two. But Baker was in the top five. He had a good week. He did. And he's got really good passing, pass catching options, and really inefficient running game. Oh, he's going to have a good running back sooner or later. Yeah. I'll be honest with you. I know Tucker barely played. I wasn't impressed. No, I wasn't either. I will say this. He didn't look great. And Mike, you loved Sean Tucker's film.

I did not. I thought he looked like a very well-rounded player who doesn't have the explosive athleticism that you need in the NFL. That's kind of what we saw. But still better than Rashad White. Yeah, we'll see what week two. Again, it's one week of football, and we'll find out what the truth is very, very soon. We have Hungry for More on tomorrow's show, Thursday Night Preview, Mailbag.

We've got Starts of the Week, Matchup Previews throughout the end of the week, and the Fantasy Face-Off where a good friend of mine is going to be spinning the wheel because it ain't me, baby. It's not me. It is not me, right, guys? No, it is you. It's you. I was talking about you.

Yeah, no, I know. Oh, man, it feels so good. Should have played two of them. Get up the schneid with a W. Herbert, what a bum. All right, that'll do it for today's show. Thanks for tuning in. Catch you tomorrow.
