                                        I'm the captain today.
                                         
                                        It's me, Mike Wright.
                                         
                                        Best friend, Jason Moore.

                                        We have the ultimate dashboard in there that really takes the work of scouring the waiver wire and we make it as easy as possible.
                                         
                                        It is your-
                                         
                                        Especially if you're in a lot of league.
                                         
                                        These are your leagues.
                                         
                                        You import your teams.
                                         
                                        We show you who's available based off of our waiver wire rankings.
                                         
                                        Maybe there's some guys that got dropped that should not be dropped and they sneak through the cracks.
                                         
                                        You can hide all the players that are already claimed.
                                         
    
                                        So you're just looking at who is actually available in your leagues.

                                        All right, Monday night football.
                                         
                                        The fart fest of the weekend continued.
                                         
    
                                        It went exactly as we expect.
                                         
                                        The first half was like, oh, okay, okay, the commanders are two picks from the homes.
                                         
                                        They're there to play some ball.
                                         
                                        The defense was good.
                                         
                                        And then the second half was like, we ran out of steam.
                                         
                                        The commanders just ran out.
                                         
                                        They're like, we gave it our best.
                                         
                                        The chiefs are just so much better than us.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, Marcus Mariotta, not the best streamer.
                                         
                                        Bill did not come through.
                                         
                                        I mean, let's just go through the list. Did anyone actually?
                                         
                                        Yeah, Terry McLaren.
                                         
                                        Terry McLaren had an okay game. Unfortunately, because he scored.
                                         
                                        We'll get to this in the news, but he re-agravated the injury that has kept him on the sideline.
                                         
                                        So that is really, really bad for him, for managers, for the commanders in general.
                                         
                                        And then on the chief side, it's like, freaking Kareem Hunt.
                                         
    
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        You were right.
                                         
                                        Freaking Kareem Hunt.
                                         
                                        I thought Pacheco was tall for 58 on the.
                                         
                                        ground. I mean, he got the work. He got the lead carries, but I mean, we were excited about
                                         
                                        Pacheco. We were excited about Breschard Smith prior to when, when Kareem Hunt was supposed to be
                                         
                                        gone. And the reason why is because Kareem Hunt is not the starter. He doesn't get the most workload,
                                         
                                        but he gets the most valuable touches. Yeah, he's the hammer. So you never feel like you can start
                                         
    
                                        Kareem Hunt, even though if you have to start one, he's probably the guy you do, but he's coming
                                         
                                        off an injury. So I would imagine most people did not start Kreme Hunt.
                                         
                                        Some people, maybe they didn't pay attention to the fact that Cream Hunt was playing, so they still started Isaiah Pacheco.
                                         
                                        And in fact, because it's Monday night football, you probably made that decision earlier.
                                         
                                        So now you start Pacheco.
                                         
                                        Some people probably start a Bichard Smith, which you don't want to start the third string running back.
                                         
                                        We were hopeful that Cream Hunt would be gone.
                                         
                                        And instead, Cream Hunt takes all the valuable touches, gets two touchdowns on nobody's starting roster, and then you start two duds in Pacheco and Breschard Smith.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, that was a bummer.
                                         
                                        Travis Kelsey
                                         
                                        Oh, I was wrong there
                                         
                                        I did not think he was going to have a good game
                                         
                                        I did not see that coming
                                         
                                        I mean Rushie Rice
                                         
                                        in the previous four games
                                         
                                        with Travis Kelsey
                                         
    
                                        Travis Kelsey's had basically like
                                         
                                        three targets a game
                                         
                                        and in this one eight targets
                                         
                                        six for 99 and a touchdown
                                         
                                        looked awesome.
                                         
                                        The Rishi Rice
                                         
                                        if you held
                                         
                                        if you traded early
                                         
    
                                        you are being rewarded
                                         
                                        handsomely. It's not going to go away. Nine for 93 with a touchdown. Yeah, I don't think it's going
                                         
                                        away either. I think he is the... Honestly, it feels like... He's the focal point of the passing game.
                                         
                                        It feels like the player that I might be most confident in the entire... Him and Puka are like
                                         
                                        the type of player, the type of utilization where I am supremely confident that it will be
                                         
                                        difficult to have a bust. I mean, everybody has a bust game, but how? The way
                                         
                                        that they use these players, though, it's just kind of, it's just automatic. And the targets will be
                                         
                                        there. So, yeah, nine for 93 and a touchdown on his own. And I was personally, I was pleasantly
                                         
    
                                        surprised to see Xavier Worthy with seven targets. Sure. I mean, yeah, five for 53. We'll take
                                         
                                        that from Worthy. I think that's kind of what you should expect. And of course, Mahomes, like him's,
                                         
                                        oh, yeah, yeah. Mahomes is balling out. We're so back. Hey,
                                         
                                        He's still running the ball, which is so incredibly important.
                                         
                                        I wondered when Rushie Rice came back.
                                         
                                        Yep, that's fair.
                                         
                                        Does his passing work go up and his rushing work go down, which would make sense?
                                         
                                        And sadly, even if it was one for one on a yard for yard basis, that hurts you in fantasy.
                                         
    
                                        And so instead, his passing work went up and his rushing has stayed active.
                                         
                                        You love to see it.
                                         
                                        Had a great game.
                                         
                                        All right, it's getting the news.
                                         
                                        news and notes from around the league presented by progressive insurance
                                         
                                        Jason mentioned it but Terry McLaurin did leave the game early with a quad injury
                                         
                                        he missed weeks four through seven with the same injury this will be hold your breath
                                         
                                        and hope it was the score was out of reach and they just said okay we're going to shut
                                         
    
                                        you down for the day we'll find news soon and they'll say hey it's not that serious
                                         
                                        and he probably would have gone back in if the game was closer, yada, yada, that, and in which
                                         
                                        case, I won't be concerned.
                                         
                                        But if they just don't say that, like, if there's no news, right, and he's just missing
                                         
                                        practice.
                                         
                                        But no news is good news.
                                         
                                        Not always.
                                         
                                        But it's the saying.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, it is the saying.
                                         
                                        That is always the same.
                                         
                                        No news is bad news now?
                                         
                                        Some sayings are factually inaccurate.
                                         
                                        We just, we just say them because we hear people say it.
                                         
                                        Don't judge a book by a cover.
                                         
                                        That's a great saying.
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
    
                                        And usually accurate.
                                         
                                        there's sometimes man
                                         
                                        I see you
                                         
                                        I've seen that book
                                         
                                        I've seen that book sucks
                                         
                                        but yeah
                                         
                                        so hopefully we hear
                                         
                                        that it is minor
                                         
    
                                        and that he might even be able to play this week
                                         
                                        because if not
                                         
                                        I fear that this is just
                                         
                                        really bad
                                         
                                        you didn't even put a picture on your cover
                                         
                                        it's just words
                                         
                                        I don't want to read that book
                                         
                                        yeah yeah
                                         
    
                                        I'm a child
                                         
                                        I want a cover
                                         
                                        I didn't I don't want the cover
                                         
                                        to be the middle of the book
                                         
                                        ridiculous
                                         
                                        I have plenty of reading ahead of me
                                         
                                        Kyle Shanahan says it's too early to say whether Brock Purdy will play in week nine.
                                         
                                        Shanahan, you can't, Shannonhan is one of the like untrustables.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                        I don't care what he says.
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                        Shannon Hannigans.
                                         
                                        Shannonhanigans, exactly.
                                         
                                        You know what I do care about?
                                         
                                        How bad Mac Jones was.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
    
                                        Because there is, there's so much evidence this year.
                                         
                                        I mean, it's just human nature, but we have seen it.
                                         
                                        Matt Jones has played pretty good.
                                         
                                        Absolutely on the season.
                                         
                                        But last week, it was so bad that all of a sudden Brock's toe feels better.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        That's what has happened all over.
                                         
                                        Look, Carson Wentz.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, speaking of guys who probably feel better,
                                         
                                        J.J. McCarthy,
                                         
                                        looking like he's going to have to start
                                         
                                        because Carson Wentz will undergo surgery on his left shoulder
                                         
                                        and is ending his season.
                                         
                                        I think it was a labrum.
                                         
                                        Thank you for your service, Carson Wentz.
                                         
                                        I mean, we...
                                         
    
                                        Thank you for your service.
                                         
                                        That was not a thank you.
                                         
                                        We talked about yesterday.
                                         
                                        This past weekend was horrifically bad.
                                         
                                        The other ones were fine for Justin Jefferson.
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                        I'm talking about how I feel like the Vikings did Carson Wins dirty this week.
                                         
                                        Remember last year we thought Sam Darnel was going to be the sacrificial baby?
                                         
    
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        That was Carson Wins?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        They just.
                                         
                                        They let him go.
                                         
                                        Led him to the slaughter.
                                         
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        If you didn't watch that game, everybody that was watching that game was like,
                                         
    
                                        why is this human being still in the game?
                                         
                                        He is writhing in pain.
                                         
                                        Every play, he's holding his non-throwing.
                                         
                                        shoulder wincing, I mean, perfectly named.
                                         
                                        And you're just like, dude, pull this guy out of the game.
                                         
                                        And instead, they left him in there to continue taking a beating and now gets a season
                                         
                                        ending shoulder.
                                         
                                        I think he had the season ending injury during the game.
                                         
    
                                        Sure.
                                         
                                        And then they, then they identify what it was.
                                         
                                        I identified it about halfway through that game from thousands of miles away.
                                         
                                        Harbaugh says he's very confident.
                                         
                                        that Lamar Jackson will play Thursday night.
                                         
                                        That's fantastic.
                                         
                                        Joe Flacco is day-to-day with a shoulder injury.
                                         
                                        We do not like that.
                                         
    
                                        No.
                                         
                                        We do not like that at all.
                                         
                                        You know, I know Betts was a little concerned.
                                         
                                        We had Joe Flacco as one of the streaming options of the week.
                                         
                                        He's one of my top pickups of the week.
                                         
                                        Absolutely.
                                         
                                        I think this is just, from what I read was just like shoulder soreness.
                                         
                                        Obviously, you hope he doesn't have an AC spring.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, for sure.
                                         
                                        But, you know, more information to come home.

                                        Chase.
                                         
                                        So Chase Brown was on lockdown mode.
                                         
    
                                        This one broke right as the show was starting.
                                         
                                        Jay, I don't know if you saw it.
                                         
                                        It's official.
                                         
                                        The future is here.
                                         
                                        It's alive in New Orleans.
                                         
                                        The Saints are making the move.
                                         
                                        Tyler Shuck is the starter.
                                         
                                        Oh, really?
                                         
    
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        Oh, I had not seen that.
                                         
                                        Literally last I saw is that they weren't sure who's going to start.
                                         
                                        Is this spread current here?
                                         
                                        Did we just post that in there, guys, producers, Kyle?
                                         
                                        That is correct.
                                         
                                        In Tyler Shuck's first start, he will be heading to L.A. as a 14-point underdog.
                                         
                                        Good luck, Tyler Shuck.
                                         
    
                                        He, what did you think of his performance when he came out?
                                         
                                        Fine. Fine.
                                         
                                        You know who it looked like to me?
                                         
                                        It looked very similar to Spencer Rattler, which was irrelevant.
                                         
                                        Yeah, no, I get that, but I think the thing is with Rattler,
                                         
                                        we've seen him for a couple years.
                                         
                                        Honestly, the first few games, it was like, maybe.
                                         
                                        I'll give Rattler a maybe.
                                         
    
                                        We can evolve and become something.
                                         
                                        And then it just, we got to the point of the season that they said,
                                         
                                        nope, not good enough.
                                         
                                        Tyler Shuck, if Tyler Shuck is as good as Spencer Rattler right now,
                                         
                                        then that's great news for the Saints.
                                         
                                        Because he's brand new.
                                         
                                        Well, I mean, he's kind of old.
                                         
                                        Yeah, he's 26 years old.
                                         
    
                                        I know he's a rookie, but he played like 20 years of college,
                                         
                                        has three doctorates.
                                         
                                        and um but but chris olave
                                         
                                        probably he probably takes a hit at least this week
                                         
                                        yeah maybe all right uh the ramp he was he was still targeted i i think it's i think it's
                                         
                                        neutral i really do think it's a wash for alave but um shepter was out there talking about
                                         
                                        the the trade deadlines coming up this week and rashid shahid was a name that he threw out
                                         
                                        as the most likely name he believes to get traded interesting that would be great for a
                                         
    
                                        Lobby. Yes, it would. And Juan. The Rams updates. Tutu Atwell was placed on the IR, and Coach McVeigh said Puka is expected to practice this week and play in week night against the Saints. That would be fantastic news. Falcons, Drake London, Michael Pennix, will be day to day with their injuries. The Browns update. They are on by this week, but we've got to give him. Quinshon Judkins, he left the game with a shoulder injury. He's listed as day-to-day with an AC joint sprain. I saw some.
                                         
                                        I saw some doctors that I trust on Twitter that were a little bit more concerned about this one.
                                         
                                        Obviously, going into buy, that's great.
                                         
                                        But they were concerned about how quickly he was ruled out midgame when this is the type of injury where often they can come.
                                         
                                        It's either like they can come back, you know, get a shot and play through pain.
                                         
                                        Or it's something more serious, potentially even like a broken bone.
                                         
                                        So TBD, but, yeah, Dylan Samson will be talked about today.
                                         
                                        And the sad part is because they're on by, they don't have the same requirements and rules of telling us what's going on.
                                         
    
                                        So that's where we kind of have to project.
                                         
                                        And for my projections, I'm going to, you know, expect the worst and hope for the best.
                                         
                                        So in expecting the worst, I'm going to project a bad injury here.
                                         
                                        All right. Cardinals news, it's weird.
                                         
                                        they released Michael Carter
                                         
                                        yesterday
                                         
                                        and now there's plans that the Cardinals
                                         
                                        or it was announced today
                                         
    
                                        Cardinals planned to re-sign Carter
                                         
                                        I know that they got to do some gymnastics
                                         
                                        when it comes to roster management
                                         
                                        how many games you've played
                                         
                                        are you eligible for the practice squad
                                         
                                        I don't
                                         
                                        it's weird because I don't remember
                                         
                                        it being listed as a
                                         
    
                                        we released this player
                                         
                                        when you can just maybe
                                         
                                        you can't maybe they weren't
                                         
                                        unable to demote him, so they have to
                                         
                                        restart the clock or something? I think
                                         
                                        what the situation is
                                         
                                        is he has to go through waivers now and other
                                         
                                        teams are allowed to sign him, and if they don't
                                         
    
                                        then they... You can put him back on the... Yeah, that's my belief.
                                         
                                        But yeah, Michael Carter,
                                         
                                        Whoa, currently not a Cardinal.
                                         
                                        Whatever you do other teams,
                                         
                                        don't sign Michael Carter and steal
                                         
                                        him from the Cardinals
                                         
                                        for their tricks.
                                         
                                        The Steelers are signing a wider...
                                         
    
                                        And I hope they do. I hope someone scoops in and signs
                                         
                                        Michael Carter. I really do. Just so that
                                         
                                        The Cardinals can see that they've made another mistake.
                                         
                                        The Steelers are signing MVS.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        And then this one is interesting, the Panthers.
                                         
                                        Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                        Coach Canales was asked about Rico Dowdell because we now have two games where Chuba has been back.
                                         
    
                                        It's not that Chuba has been horrifically bad, but Rico continues to be better.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I mean, for fantasy purposes, Chuba was much better than Rico this week because it got the touchdown.
                                         
                                        But this is a guy who, the last two weeks since he's been back from the calf injury in Chuba,
                                         
                                        he's had 14 carries for 31 yards, barf.
                                         
                                        And then this last week, 12 carries for 34 yards, also bar.
                                         
                                        So he got the touchdown, was better for fantasy, was the leader.
                                         
                                        Like he came in and immediately became the starter.
                                         
                                        And it was so interesting to see Dave Canales and what he said because it was actually revealing.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        It was realistic and human and also like acknowledging mistakes.
                                         
                                        So yeah, give us the quote.
                                         
                                        Asked about the heavier workload for Rico.
                                         
                                        It says, quote, is something we're looking at.
                                         
                                        And then he said, Chuba Hubbard has meant a lot to this team.
                                         
                                        Wanted to give him an opportunity following his calf injury.
                                         
                                        We cannot ignore the fact that RICO has been exceptional.
                                         
    
                                        I mean, that is.
                                         
                                        They're dealing with, it's a difficult situation.
                                         
                                        You just gave Chuba that contract last year.
                                         
                                        he was great for you last year he was he was fine he was good to start the season nothing
                                         
                                        exceptional but then riko while it was against bad defenses admittedly not everyone's getting
                                         
                                        200 yards per scrimmage in back-to-back games is like how do you even in these last move to him
                                         
                                        even in these last two games um you know rico was eight for 54 in in this last game uh the
                                         
                                        the previous week, 17 for 79.
                                         
    
                                        Like, RICO has looked awesome.
                                         
                                        I remember this last week, there was this play where RICO just broke, like, had to be
                                         
                                        five tackles.
                                         
                                        And it was only like a six or seven yard run, but it was just like, boom, you can't give
                                         
                                        me, you can't, I turned to you and I was like, when did Rico get so strong?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I don't know how it took this long into his career, but it's so interesting because
                                         
                                        obviously we look at these players for our purposes as fantasy.
                                         
    
                                        assets and sometimes i think we think that the NFL teams look at these players as
                                         
                                        NFL assets and like what is best for our team but we forget these are still people around
                                         
                                        who had dinner last night together whose wives know each you know what i mean like there is some
                                         
                                        of that element where they're like he's meant a lot to this team i wanted to give him the chance
                                         
                                        but it's like he has to be good and right's been great so yeah the swap is going to be made
                                         
                                        RICO, just a short aside, because I'm the host,
                                         
                                        RICO is going to be interesting, I think, this off season,
                                         
                                        where I thought there would be more interest in RICO Dowdo last year,
                                         
    
                                        coming off a thousand-yard season,
                                         
                                        which he was the starter for like half of it.
                                         
                                        So he really, he did that all in the second half.
                                         
                                        Seemed like he was going to get it done with Dallas,
                                         
                                        but did not.
                                         
                                        And then it took a little bit of time,
                                         
                                        and he ends up as the backup for the Carolina Panthers.
                                         
                                        I wonder if he got stuck in negotiations with Dallas got dragged along
                                         
    
                                        and the contract didn't get where he thought it should be
                                         
                                        and then by then it was too late.
                                         
                                        Maybe.
                                         
                                        I think the NFL teams are...
                                         
                                        He's 27.
                                         
                                        I think he's 27.
                                         
                                        He's going to get chapped it again.
                                         
                                        You think so?
                                         
    
                                        I do think so.
                                         
                                        Yeah, he's over 27.
                                         
                                        He's an older back that's like, it's kind of like the teams are like,
                                         
                                        do we really believe it?
                                         
                                        I know we saw it.
                                         
                                        He looked good.
                                         
                                        But do we believe it?
                                         
                                        Do we want to be the team to shell out money for now and older back and potentially be like...
                                         
    
                                        Wonder, though, after a second year of doing it, does he get like a nice...
                                         
                                        That's a two-year.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Rico deserves a chance to start.
                                         
                                        It will be a...
                                         
                                        Miles Sanders was given that, you know?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Oh, my gosh.
                                         
    
                                        I just, I would love...
                                         
                                        I want to see Rico as a true starter.
                                         
                                        What?
                                         
                                        You do?
                                         
                                        Yeah, I do.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Is that shocking?
                                         
                                        Yeah, no.

                                        Last year was super fun
                                         
                                        like inadequate good player
                                         
                                        it just
                                         
                                        the only reason he is here
                                         
    
                                        because our king has fallen
                                         
                                        Camp Scadaboo will be missing
                                         
                                        the entirety of the year we did we got a tweet
                                         
                                        he tweeted like hey everything went great
                                         
                                        good spirits so
                                         
                                        super happy to hear and see that tweet
                                         
                                        that we got number one we got to hear from him
                                         
                                        you're like if you go
                                         
    
                                        multiple days after that and you don't hear
                                         
                                        anything from him that would have been a little
                                         
                                        little nerve-wracking. So that is happy, but that will become a conversation for the
                                         
                                        off-season. But here we are. Oh, my gosh. Tyrone Tracy. Oh, dude. You see what's happening in
                                         
                                        Slack right now? No. Jeremy dunked on you because we have, we have had off-air this almost
                                         
                                        beef about one of the mock drafts in the off-season where Jeremy drafted both Scataboo and Tyrone
                                         
                                        Tracy. And you mocked him. And then Jeremy's been trying to dunk on you the whole time where it's
                                         
                                        Like, it worked out great because I've got him.
                                         
    
                                        And you're like, the issue you brought up was not that it was, I loved the scataboo.
                                         
                                        Yeah, it was that you didn't need to also waste the Tyrone Tracy pick.
                                         
                                        And now he's, he's back to Duncan because he was right.
                                         
                                        Yeah, hey, boom, chakalaka on us.
                                         
                                        But here he is, Tracy.
                                         
                                        Boom, Shakalaka.
                                         
                                        Yep, there you go.
                                         
                                        Coming up for him, San Francisco, Chicago, Green Bay.
                                         
    
                                        Here's what Tyrone Tracy is.
                                         
                                        The question is how aggressive.
                                         
                                        are you willing to be to get Tracy?
                                         
                                        I am probably not aggressive enough to get him,
                                         
                                        simply because what he represents is going to be different to different teams.
                                         
                                        Tyrone Tracy is not going to come out here and be a league winner.
                                         
                                        Without Malik, without Scataboo, with the current version of the Giants,
                                         
                                        you don't expect them to be a high-scoring team, right?
                                         
    
                                        and if you look at what Tyrone and Tracy had a great season last year look what he did at the second half of last year and this is kind of what I would expect going on the second half of this year and I'm going to read you his fantasy points scored in half PPR after the by week last year seven points 13 and a half points 16 and a half points and I'll take that four points 14 and a half points eight points seven and a half points so it's like he's an RB
                                         
                                        He's a decent weekly play.
                                         
                                        There's teams out there that need an RB2.
                                         
                                        That's my point is I feel like the teams out there that are desperate.
                                         
                                        They're like, I'm starting, you know, I'm just scratching and clawing to find anyone who I have to start.
                                         
                                        I have to start this player.
                                         
                                        You have to go hard at Tyrone Tracy.
                                         
                                        There's not always, I mean, we've seen it last couple weeks.
                                         
    
                                        There's not even someone on waivers that represents this.
                                         
                                        Scataboo's not coming back.
                                         
                                        This is a rest of season startable asset.
                                         
                                        So you have to go hard after Tyrone Tracy.
                                         
                                        If you need them, you probably do.
                                         
                                        Dump half your fap.
                                         
                                        Dump as much as you need, 60%, whatever.
                                         
                                        Go get your guy.
                                         
    
                                        But I just think, like, if your team is, you know, running back heavy,
                                         
                                        if you've got good running backs already,
                                         
                                        Terron Tracy does not represent someone that's going to overtake, I believe, you know,
                                         
                                        those top 15 backs.
                                         
                                        So just know what he is.
                                         
                                        If you really need him, go get him.
                                         
                                        And if you don't need him, still put a bit on him.
                                         
                                        Obviously.
                                         
    
                                        Just in case.
                                         
                                        Other people in your league might say, well, I don't think I can get them.
                                         
                                        I'm not even going to try.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So if you don't need them, put a $15 bid on them.
                                         
                                        You know what I mean?
                                         
                                        Just try to get a startable fantasy asset for a reasonable price.
                                         
                                        And if you do need them, just go get you that.
                                         
    
                                        Any chance in your opinion that Devin Singletary is worth the pickup?
                                         
                                        No, we saw.
                                         
                                        So Singletary was active in that game.
                                         
                                        I mean, worth a pickup, sure.
                                         
                                        He is now the insurance option for Tyrone Tracy.
                                         
                                        If Tyrone Tracy gets injured.
                                         
                                        Devin Singletary is a good solid veteran football player
                                         
                                        But the utilization that we saw
                                         
    
                                        When Scataboo went down
                                         
                                        It was
                                         
                                        I'm looking at Skataboo was awesome
                                         
                                        It's better than I remembered
                                         
                                        Yeah
                                         
                                        And you remembered it
                                         
                                        He's the running back 10 right now
                                         
                                        Oh man

                                        Yeah
                                         
                                        It's my favorite

                                        backup picks. Like, I would rather have
                                         
                                        Ollie Gordon, Emmanuel
                                         
                                        Wilson, Tajay Spears.
                                         
                                        Like, there are other kind of backup running backs
                                         
                                        out there that are worthy of picking up this week.
                                         
                                        Is Spears a backup running back? I don't know. Sure, yeah.
                                         
                                        We'll get to that. Yeah, we can get to that. Bam Knight,
                                         
    
                                        well, Zonovan Knight, aka
                                         
                                        Bam Knight. You were
                                         
                                        going to, you were going to Bam, aka Zonovan?
                                         
                                        They call him Bam Knight. Yeah. But like, on
                                         
                                        what is he in the platform? On Sleeper, he's
                                         
                                        Zonovan. Oh, okay. That's what I was curious.
                                         
                                        So if you're searching for Bam,
                                         
                                        He probably won't show up.
                                         
    
                                        You got to use Zonovan.
                                         
                                        I can confirm.
                                         
                                        Okay, nice.
                                         
                                        He will be the starter for the Arizona Cardinals.
                                         
                                        Wait, who did they?
                                         
                                        I just, who do they play this week?
                                         
                                        They play the Dallas Cowboys.
                                         
                                        You know who scores more points this week
                                         
    
                                        between Tyrone Tracy and Bam Knight?
                                         
                                        I'm going with Bam Knight.
                                         
                                        He is a very solid pickup for this week.
                                         
                                        The overrunners at 54.5.
                                         
                                        Oh, my gosh.
                                         
                                        Because the Cowboys defense is the best thing in the NFL.
                                         
                                        Now the Scataboo is down, it's just you can't, they can't stop anyone from doing anything.
                                         
                                        You watch the Broncos.
                                         
    
                                        The Broncos are a better offense than the Arizona Cardinals.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        But the Broncos have struggled from time to time.
                                         
                                        The Broncos didn't struggle on more than like four plays last week.
                                         
                                        And you saw the running game.
                                         
                                        and it didn't matter whether it was R.J. Harvey or J.K. Dobbins.
                                         
                                        And it's not to take anything away from those two players who are good, great backs in their own right.
                                         
                                        But if you watch the plays, it was like, where was the, they ran to the left side of the line.
                                         
    
                                        And it's like they faked the Cowboys defense out. And the edge defender was like,
                                         
                                        I'm going straight to the center. And it was like the whole half of the field was open like four different times.
                                         
                                        So yeah, let me look here. The last week, they gave up four.
                                         
                                        44 points to the running back position no no no no 44 points in the NFL points i mean they are
                                         
                                        averaging it's just like 44 points uh 22 27 30 37 40 40 it's amazing this is what you want so
                                         
                                        it's a delight if you have to have a start you probably still want to take tyrone and tracy ahead
                                         
                                        of bam night because he represents something beyond this week um the window opens up for tray benson
                                         
                                        he's eligible to return the following week in week 10.
                                         
    
                                        Now, I don't...
                                         
                                        Yeah, his injury was not a four-week injury.
                                         
                                        He had a meniscus cleanup that is a four-to-six-week normal recovery time.
                                         
                                        But just know, a couple weeks later, BAM will go away.
                                         
                                        And also the following weeks, Seattle, San Francisco, those are much better defenses.
                                         
                                        And so BAM Knight will go from someone that is like, he's pretty much a must start this week.
                                         
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        to someone that's like,
                                         
    
                                        flex option. I mean,
                                         
                                        and Trey Benson.
                                         
                                        I would do a little, I would do a little peek on your waiver wire.
                                         
                                        Perhaps someone didn't have the IR spot or whatever.
                                         
                                        I would just go check for Trey Benson.
                                         
                                        He will be back.
                                         
                                        He will be the lead runner for the Cardinals.
                                         
                                        Kyle Monongai is our third highest option at the running back position.
                                         
    
                                        It's not incredible,
                                         
                                        but we had 16 opportunities two weeks ago,
                                         
                                        and then we had we had seven carries this week so most importantly this last week he got another carry inside the five zone yeah so when they get near the goal line there's there is a chance they might be using him so yeah Kyle monong i should definitely be rostered uh brashard smith he's still worth a stash and and hold now to the injury guys which is a harder decision tank bigs before the philadelphia eagles would be the insurance back for sequin parkley and dylan sampson
                                         
                                        looks like he will be the insurance back for Quinshawn Judkins.
                                         
                                        Jerome Ford will still get used, but they went to Dylan Samson,
                                         
                                        he went to Bill and Samson back to six targets.
                                         
                                        If you remember the beginning of the year where Dylan Samson was just,
                                         
                                        let me go, let me pull these numbers, eight, it was eight targets in week one.
                                         
    
                                        And then the opportunities started to shift because Judkins did come back.
                                         
                                        And then we had six targets this past week.
                                         
                                        how are you
                                         
                                        Ford only had one touch last week
                                         
                                        how are you approaching
                                         
                                        Tank Bigsby and Dylan Samson
                                         
                                        correct so Tank Biggsby
                                         
                                        represents a true
                                         
    
                                        league winner
                                         
                                        yes he represents someone that
                                         
                                        so like the Tyrone Tracy discussion
                                         
                                        where we're like
                                         
                                        you know if you want them
                                         
                                        you're going to have to go hard
                                         
                                        maybe you want to maybe you don't
                                         
                                        if this were Tank Bigsby
                                         
    
                                        with Sequin out it would be a full
                                         
                                        fab dump for me
                                         
                                        so maybe
                                         
                                        Maybe that's why you want to prioritize Tank Bigsby, even though it is a buy week.
                                         
                                        And they said that Sequin's fine.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        What if he's not?
                                         
                                        He heard his groin.
                                         
    
                                        They're going to buy week.
                                         
                                        So Dylan Samson is a better pickup than Tank Bigsby for total fantasy points scored going forward.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Dylan Samson, I think when they come out of the buy will be the starter.
                                         
                                        If Judkins is hurt.
                                         
                                        If Judkins is hurt, they're going to play.
                                         
                                        When they're out of their buy, they got the Jets who,
                                         
                                        just gave up a cagibillion D points and to a running game that wasn't working.
                                         
    
                                        Scientifically speaking.
                                         
                                        The Baltimore Ravens, who they are still beat up and will continue to be beat up rest of season.
                                         
                                        So Dylan Sampson, I would prioritize over Tank Bigsby if I need any running back help.
                                         
                                        Is it fair to say you are more concerned about the Judkins injury than the Barclay injury?
                                         
                                        That's exactly why.
                                         
                                        I think Barclay comes back out of the buy and is the starter.
                                         
                                        If I'm locked and loaded at running back, if I'm three deep, like three,
                                         
                                        You know, like my current team, as an example in League of Record, I've got Jonathan Taylor and David Montgomery and Travis E.TN.
                                         
    
                                        And why can I not think of my other.
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        Oh, Josh Jacobs.
                                         
                                        Oh, that guy.
                                         
                                        I'm fully loaded.
                                         
                                        Like, like, I'm flush with cash.
                                         
                                        Dylan Samson's probably not cracking my starting roster.
                                         
                                        So I would rather go get Tank Bigsby and have him as my stash because should something happen to say,
                                         
    
                                        Now that he's been on the team for a couple weeks, we saw when Sequin went down, it was, you know, it was like, oh, was it going to be Will Shipley? Is E.J. Dillan going to be healthy? They traded for Tank Bigsby.
                                         
                                        Now their kick returner showed up. And he was given the opportunity. He looked outstanding. So he would be, you know, this is this is a week where there's like different archetypes of waiver pickups. And you just have to look at your roster and say, what do I need? Because whatever you need is out there at running back this week. A one week starter.
                                         
                                        a rest of season RB2, or a league-winning upside stash.
                                         
                                        Those are really exciting plays.
                                         
                                        Last running back I want to talk about,
                                         
                                        because the other guys are really just insurance running backs.
                                         
                                        Ollie Gordon, Isaiah Davis should,
                                         
                                        the jets are on the buy,
                                         
    
                                        but should Breece Hall be traded, Isaiah Davis,
                                         
                                        will have, he will have value.
                                         
                                        I think he's a good player.
                                         
                                        He looked really good this last week.
                                         
                                        Braylon Allen, though, is eligible to return in week 10.
                                         
                                        keep in my i don't know how bad his injury was usually a knee injury is longer than four weeks
                                         
                                        so i i don't think it's very similar to tray benson i don't expect him to be back at week
                                         
                                        but honestly that just is helpful for the jets to be able to move breeze hall sure uh so the last
                                         
    
                                        guy i want to talk about taj spears yeah we've seen essentially three games where he is getting
                                         
                                        an actual workload his first game back he was on the field for 25% of the snaps but then it was
                                         
                                        59 percent, 43 percent, 52. So it is a time share. He's seen at least three targets in all three
                                         
                                        of those games. He finished as the running back 14 this past week because he scored. His yard,
                                         
                                        I mean, five for 31, five for 22, nine for 59. Like, he, what we saw when Tadj Spears has
                                         
                                        been given an opportunity, we're seeing it again. Yeah. So it's a running back who's good,
                                         
                                        but just his body betrays him and doesn't want to play football. As a reminder,
                                         
                                        Last year, he only had three games where he played more than 50% of the snaps, which
                                         
    
                                        we're seeing him right now start to the last three games of this year. He's been right
                                         
                                        around that 50% more than 50% snaps, even with Pollard Healthy. And last year, in those
                                         
                                        three games, he scored 24.2 fantasy points, 20 fantasy points, and 12 fantasy points. He was
                                         
                                        the running back 5, 12, and 13. So he's got Jews. He's got talent. This is a team as well that
                                         
                                        has already come out publicly and said
                                         
                                        our entire roster
                                         
                                        is available for trade minus two players
                                         
                                        so I don't know
                                         
    
                                        there's teams out there that might look at Tony Pollard and say
                                         
                                        who is the second player
                                         
                                        what's their defensive star
                                         
                                        oh okay okay I was going through
                                         
                                        offense I'm like no no no not on office
                                         
                                        you cannot get
                                         
                                        Alec Ayelman from us
                                         
                                        Jeffrey Simmons
                                         
    
                                        okay I'm in a fantasy world which
                                         
                                        I'm gonna be honest Cam Ward should be available
                                         
                                        for trade
                                         
                                        because, you know, you can go get that number one pick
                                         
                                        and, I mean, if Cam Ward is on this roster
                                         
                                        next year, and if they'll be, sure, my,
                                         
                                        okay, so next year, if the Titans get the number one pick,
                                         
                                        you're telling me they're going to watch what happened this year and go,
                                         
    
                                        we're good at quarterback when they could take the number one quarterback of the draft.
                                         
                                        I see what you're saying.
                                         
                                        So go ahead.
                                         
                                        Yeah, I would make Cam Ward.
                                         
                                        The Titans are one and seven.
                                         
                                        the Jets are also one and seven wow yeah the saints are one and seven interesting yeah uh there probably
                                         
                                        will be some off-season drama if that is the case all right uh oh and cream cream hunt i guess
                                         
                                        i guess you could pick him up yeah i mean he's always there with the amount of points the chiefs
                                         
    
                                        are scoring yeah when they get around the goal line it seems like kareem hunt is their preferred
                                         
                                        tool.
                                         
                                        So, yeah.
                                         
                                        So Tajay Spears,
                                         
                                        so Tajay Spears as well.
                                         
                                        Like,

                                        he's a flex with benefits.
                                         
    
                                        Sure.
                                         
                                        Should Pollard get injured,
                                         
                                        Tajay Spears would be really good for fantasy.
                                         
                                        Should Pollard get traded?
                                         
                                        Like,
                                         
                                        you have two methods here where I think
                                         
                                        Taj Spears could catapult into real relevance.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
    
                                        Drop candidates.
                                         
                                        Bill.
                                         
                                        Man.
                                         
                                        I mean,
                                         
                                        If Bill was out there, I would pick up Bill Kroski-Marratt, but he's getting opportunities still.
                                         
                                        I hate myself of I was pretty...
                                         
                                        You were so anti-Bill.
                                         
                                        I was so anti-I.
                                         
    
                                        We loved the jokes and the game.
                                         
                                        But then we would follow up all of our fun jokes of how unstoppable he is and say, trade him, don't buy the hype.
                                         
                                        He was, and then we did a trade-for trade-away in like week four or something, and Bill was my trade-away.
                                         
                                        And then the next week it felt like, oh, that might have been a huge mistake.
                                         
                                        It's not working.
                                         
                                        I mean, it was the Chiefs.
                                         
                                        It was a backup.
                                         
                                        It was Mario.
                                         
    
                                        It was the Cowboys the week before.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        He scored 3.7 fantasy points against Dallas.
                                         
                                        And I know that the team will be much better when Jaden Daniels is there, more scoring
                                         
                                        opportunities.
                                         
                                        I wouldn't drop him.
                                         
                                        There are brighter days ahead for Bill.
                                         
                                        I'm not dropping him, but he is not.
                                         
    
                                        Would you drop him for for Bam?
                                         
                                        If I need to start, yeah, if I have to start one, and that's my only option, I would, I mean, that's the point where you're saying, I have to roster the guy who's scoring more fantasy points this week, if that's your situation, sure.
                                         
                                        Tony Pollard.
                                         
                                        As a drop candidate?
                                         
                                        Yeah, that's, I mean, we get asked these questions.
                                         
                                        Tony Pollard, Jordan Mason, Trevion and Henderson are not, they're, I would not drop any of them.
                                         
                                        I would not drop any of them as well.
                                         
                                        All right.
                                         
    
                                        The wide receiver.
                                         
                                        And you know what sucks?
                                         
                                        What's that?
                                         
                                        Our league of record over the last decade has gotten so much smarter.
                                         
                                        I hate it.
                                         
                                        Like our waivers are never, every single running back is rostered.
                                         
                                        We are the league where people write in, they're not available in my league.
                                         
                                        They're not available in ours either, guys.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, we're just, we're giving you the best options, which is why go check out the waiver wire tour.
                                         
                                        Yes, tool.
                                         
                                        There are deeper names that we are not talking about right now that are on, you know,
                                         
                                        If you go to footclan.com and use the waiver wire tool, they're deeper there.
                                         
                                        The wide receiver position at the top, we have a couple of decent options.
                                         
                                        I mean, Kayshan Booty remains productive on very limited touches, but he kind of matches.
                                         
                                        His specialty, seemingly, is also a specialty of Drake May.
                                         
                                        It's the deep pass.
                                         
    
                                        They get to take on Atlanta, which Falcons team shows up.
                                         
                                        I have no idea.
                                         
                                        and then they do get Tampa Bay the following week.
                                         
                                        It's on the road, but that's interesting.
                                         
                                        Christian Watson.
                                         
                                        Yeah, booty is roulette, but he's got more reward.
                                         
                                        Boulette.
                                         
                                        Oh, boulette.
                                         
    
                                        I like it.
                                         
                                        Sounds French.
                                         
                                        Yeah, this is a guy, you know, we know he can have good outputs.
                                         
                                        He had a really bad three-week stretch, weeks three, four, and five.
                                         
                                        Outside of that, he has been a really relevant fantasy.
                                         
                                        wide receiver. So if he's out there, I would certainly roster him. I mean, I dropped them after
                                         
                                        week five in our league of record and I regret it. So Christian Watson, he made his way back for the
                                         
                                        Green Bay Packers. He stepped in and he showed up and he got four targets. He caught all four
                                         
    
                                        for 85 yards. Yeah, he's a deep, he's a deep field stretching option. So the, in terms of
                                         
                                        snaps, we had, Watson was at 56%.
                                         
                                        Matthew Golden, their first round rookie, was at 66%.
                                         
                                        I think that...
                                         
                                        I will take the better player.
                                         
                                        That is going to be an issue for Matthew Golden.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        To keep...
                                         
    
                                        Like, Christian Watson is a piece that the Green Bay Packers have really, really missed.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Where we started off, we're like, why is Jordan Love not really getting it done?
                                         
                                        And I know the matchup was great this week, but I do not think it's a coincidence.
                                         
                                        that the week a healthy Christian Watson comes back,
                                         
                                        who was fresh off of an extension.
                                         
                                        This dude destroyed his knee,
                                         
                                        and the Green Bay Packers gave him money
                                         
    
                                        to rehab and stay with the team.
                                         
                                        The moment he's back,
                                         
                                        huge game for Jordan Love.
                                         
                                        I don't think that's a coincidence at all.
                                         
                                        I think he really, really helps the rest of the team,
                                         
                                        but can he help your fantasy team?
                                         
                                        Four for 85 this past week.
                                         
                                        How aggressive are you going to be with Watson?
                                         
    
                                        I'm not going to be very aggressive.
                                         
                                        I think that very similar to Booty,
                                         
                                        It's a roulette option where you can have a good game,
                                         
                                        but because there are a lot of weapons and a running game for the Packers
                                         
                                        that can score the touchdowns, unlike for the Patriots,
                                         
                                        I look at Watson as, to me, it's like Darius Slayton.
                                         
                                        Darius Slayton, I would rather have than Christian Watson.
                                         
                                        Why do I have a memory of Darius Slayton hitting a big play this past weekend?
                                         
    
                                        Because he hit an awesome, huge, gigantic touchdown.
                                         
                                        And it was called back for an absolute, do you remember how bad the roughing in that game was?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So, oh, there's, yeah, the Philly game.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Yes, that game was, the Tush push fumble where they said we blew for, oh my gosh, we didn't talk about that.
                                         
                                        Disgusting.
                                         
                                        I have to imagine Philly fans, they're doing the like, yeah, that was bad.
                                         
    
                                        Like, I'm happy it happened, but that's a, like, they have to know how bad that call was.
                                         
                                        When you know you got away with one.
                                         
                                        Oh, my gosh.
                                         
                                        So if you didn't, if you don't know the play you're talking about,
                                         
                                        they're doing a tush push to pick up, you know, a short yardage situation.
                                         
                                        And while Jalen Hertz is actively going forward, like they push,
                                         
                                        and it gets stopped a little, and then he pushes forward more,
                                         
                                        and he reaches and he gets the first down.
                                         
    
                                        And as he's stretching the ball, I think it was Brian Burns,
                                         
                                        just grab the ball from him.
                                         
                                        Give me that.
                                         
                                        Give me that.
                                         
                                        That ball's mine took it, recovers it, fumble.
                                         
                                        They stopped the tush push.
                                         
                                        And if you watch the plate.
                                         
                                        Kind of saying it was Tibido.
                                         
    
                                        Oh, it's Tibado. Okay. Maybe Burns recovered it, or maybe it was all Tibido.
                                         
                                        The cool thing was, is they were able to stop it, and if you watch a replay, you can listen to when the whistles happened.
                                         
                                        And it happens way after the fumble recovery, but they blew it dead and they said that it was forward progress stopped, which is not reviewable.
                                         
                                        No, which is not reviewable. And also-J-Lherts continued to move forward after the fumble.
                                         
                                        Why would you stop forward progress while progressing?
                                         
                                        Anyways, nonsense.
                                         
                                        But in that way.
                                         
                                        But I'm glad the Slayton big touchdown was not a figment of my imagination.
                                         
    
                                        It was called offense of pass interference.
                                         
                                        And while Slayton is very often guilty of offense and pass interference, this was nonsense.
                                         
                                        These two guys were just hand fighting the entire way down the field.
                                         
                                        Even the actual, you know how hard it is to get like the commentators to be like, that was a bad call?
                                         
                                        They were like, that was a bad call.
                                         
                                        They took away a huge touchdown for absolutely no reason.
                                         
                                        But anyways, so Slayton, what you're saying,
                                         
                                        is Slayton in the same tier of a pickup this week as Christian Watson for you?
                                         
    
                                        He is a tier above to me.
                                         
                                        Oh, okay.
                                         
                                        I think the way Jackson Dart fever.
                                         
                                        The way Jackson Dart's been playing, pushing the ball down field,
                                         
                                        he's going to take shots.
                                         
                                        They need Darius Slate without Malik neighbors.
                                         
                                        It's like, you know, they need Darius Slateen badly,
                                         
                                        whereas Christian Watson, they can use.
                                         
    
                                        him greatly, but they don't need him.
                                         
                                        They have other options. You don't feel like
                                         
                                        no one has really took over.
                                         
                                        Is there a chance that Christian Watson
                                         
                                        shows up and actually becomes a true
                                         
                                        number one wide receiver? Yes, I think there is a
                                         
                                        chance. But if I had
                                         
                                        to say who gets more targets rest of
                                         
    
                                        season between Dary Slaten and Christian Watson, I would say
                                         
                                        Slate. So Booty, Christian
                                         
                                        Watson, Dary Slateon, all very interesting.
                                         
                                        Troy Franklin went
                                         
                                        from the hotness
                                         
                                        to the notness. Now we're back
                                         
                                        to hot. Are you
                                         
                                        you do you do he's your guy do you know I love to deal with this his talent I don't really want to deal
                                         
    
                                        with it I mean that was the Dallas Cowboys that the Marvin Mims is in concussion protocol the Broncos
                                         
                                        scored 44 points I would absolutely pick up Troy Franklin he should be rostered there and he can
                                         
                                        be started but I'm not going hard this is like he is in my waiver priorities low down I'm going
                                         
                                        to make a dollar bid on him or whatever. And if I don't, you know, if I don't get him, I'm not
                                         
                                        going to, I'm not going to cry about it. Where is Alec Pierce compared to Darius Slayton for you?
                                         
                                        To me, Alec Pierce is. Because this is the same archetype of players. Very similar.
                                         
                                        Daniel Jones is playing great football. They're scoring, I mean, the Colts are scoring so many
                                         
                                        points. I know that Taylor has been the recipient, but there's going to be games where Taylor scores a
                                         
    
                                        touchdown and it's Daniel Jones throwing three. Yeah. Watson, Slayton, and Alec
                                         
                                        Pierce are all very, very similar.
                                         
                                        So you could make different arguments, right?
                                         
                                        I'm making the argument that I want the target market share of Slayton because they need
                                         
                                        him.
                                         
                                        They don't really have someone else to throw the ball to.
                                         
                                        Whereas obviously, with Alec Pierce, it could be a Josh Downs game, it could be a Michael
                                         
                                        Pittman game.
                                         
    
                                        However, you can make the opposite argument and say, well, I want the offense of the
                                         
                                        Colts and the playing of Daniel Jones over, you know, the Giants and a rookie Jackson
                                         
                                        Dart.
                                         
                                        So it's your own play style.
                                         
                                        I'm going to always take targets over deep shot option, you know, touchdown potential.
                                         
                                        But if you prefer just, I want the guy who has the higher likelihood of actually receiving the touchdown,
                                         
                                        then that would be Alec Pierce.
                                         
                                        Who's been awesome?
                                         
    
                                        He's been very solid for the use of Texans, the rookies, the pair of them, Jaden Higgins, Jalen, Noel.
                                         
                                        Noll, thank you.
                                         
                                        Spelled Noelle.
                                         
                                        no no no no it doesn't
                                         
                                        Jalen no thank you
                                         
                                        they're both hey they're both there
                                         
                                        it was an interesting game of it seemed like at the beginning
                                         
                                        because a lot of people asked on Sunday live
                                         
    
                                        like do I play Noel what do I do here
                                         
                                        because Noel was the guy last week after Nico left
                                         
                                        and my answer was I
                                         
                                        can't confidently say who it's going
                                         
                                        going to be. They're both very interesting this week. I think playable. And you could get some
                                         
                                        upside. The game starts. All the targets are funneling to Jaden Higgins. It's like, oh, here we
                                         
                                        go. The second round pick's going to have a breakout. Kind of fell short, eight targets turned
                                         
                                        into four for 34 and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Noel was five for 63. And then Xavier
                                         
    
                                        Hutchinson ends up with the actual big game, five for 69 with a touchdown. How do you order
                                         
                                        those three guys? I mean, it's clear. We need to, we just need to check Vegas.
                                         
                                        They knew something.
                                         
                                        Yeah, but they knew something.
                                         
                                        What do you know about these three and how you're going after them for your waiver wire?
                                         
                                        Well, I'm about to learn.
                                         
                                        Looks like, okay, the Broncos, great defense, six and two going to play in Houston against the three and four Texans.
                                         
                                        Mike, where would you put that line?
                                         
    
                                        Give me the two teams again, I'm sorry.
                                         
                                        The Denver Broncos, six and two.
                                         
                                        They're traveling to Houston.
                                         
                                        The game's in Houston.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        Against the three and four Houston Texans.
                                         
                                        Broncos great defense.
                                         
                                        I'm going to go Broncos.
                                         
    
                                        plus one and a half.
                                         
                                        I'm sorry, Broncos,
                                         
                                        Broncos minus one and a half.
                                         
                                        So Broncos favored by one and a half.
                                         
                                        Yeah, the line opened, Texans favored one and a half.
                                         
                                        Oh, man.
                                         
                                        What do they know? What did they?
                                         
                                        So maybe you've got to go after these rookies again.
                                         
    
                                        CJ Stroud getting it figured out?
                                         
                                        I don't know.
                                         
                                        Maybe.
                                         
                                        Honestly, rookies are a cheat code.
                                         
                                        Rookie wide receivers in the second half of the year
                                         
                                        are the players who have the most tendency to kind of break out,
                                         
                                        help you win championship.
                                         
                                        Yep.
                                         
    
                                        So if you want to take a shot on Higgins, Noel, you can also put a D.K.
                                         
                                        there.
                                         
                                        Chimray.
                                         
                                        Chimray.
                                         
                                        We said this like a hundred times at the office yesterday.
                                         
                                        Jim Ray, DK.
                                         
                                        is seven for 93.
                                         
                                        He.
                                         
    
                                        Eight targets last week.
                                         
                                        It's, I don't know.
                                         
                                        I mean, wide receiver 16 back to back week.
                                         
                                        He's looked good on the NFL field.
                                         
                                        Did you know he lead the NFL in all-purpose yards?
                                         
                                        I did not.
                                         
                                        Yeah, if you include the kick return, punt return.
                                         
                                        Kyle with a good reminder, two games.
                                         
    
                                        No Callahan.
                                         
                                        Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        That makes me honestly, that little blurb that I forgot, that makes me more interested in him.
                                         
                                        I'll put a-
                                         
                                        Cam Ward.
                                         
                                        Cam Ward has looked, you know, as much as we've talked poorly about him and as poorly as
                                         
                                        he's played the season.
                                         
    
                                        The last two games, when they made that head coach,
                                         
                                        change, he
                                         
                                        passed the eyeball test for the first time where it was like
                                         
                                        flashes of
                                         
                                        of like, oh, okay, maybe
                                         
                                        he's got it. Maybe the system was
                                         
                                        a little bit more of the problem. So yeah.
                                         
                                        And if you're looking
                                         
    
                                        for his name on the platform and it's
                                         
                                        difficult to find because his name is pronounced
                                         
                                        D.K. Chimre.
                                         
                                        Chimre. D.K. And you don't know how to spell it. It's D.I.K.E.
                                         
                                        Yeah. Is his last name. Yep.
                                         
                                        Drop candidates. Matthew Golden.
                                         
                                        No. I mean,
                                         
                                        I would prefer a lot of the guys we talked about today.
                                         
    
                                        So if that's the last guy on your roster, sure.
                                         
                                        How far down does that go?
                                         
                                        Like, Alec Pierce or Golden?
                                         
                                        If I need a start, I would rather start Pierce.
                                         
                                        If I'm not starting them, I would rather roster Golden.
                                         
                                        What about the Texans rookies?
                                         
                                        I would rather roster the Texans rookies.
                                         
                                        I thought they were better football players coming into the NFL draft.
                                         
    
                                        I mean, I feel like it's a lot of confirmation bias because I saw Matthew Golden
                                         
                                        was like a third, fourth round talent, and he went in the first.
                                         
                                        So it's hard to balance that.
                                         
                                        Jerry Judy.
                                         
                                        Put him in a cannon.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        And fire him into the sun.
                                         
                                        Absolutely.
                                         
    
                                        What?
                                         
                                        What team does he play on?
                                         
                                        The Cleveland Browns.
                                         
                                        Is Joe Flacco still there?
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
                                        Boom.
                                         
                                        Gone.
                                         
                                        So you got to take all targets, divide him in half.
                                         
    
                                        That's your true target.
                                         
                                        I don't know if that's enough.
                                         
                                        You might need to add a multiplayer there.
                                         
                                        He has been not good.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        Darnell Mooney, I wouldn't.
                                         
                                        I wouldn't move on yet.
                                         
                                        I wouldn't drop him just yet.
                                         
    
                                        Kirk Cousins is absolutely toast.
                                         
                                        DJ Moore, I'm not going to, no, and I'm not dropping.
                                         
                                        Calvin Ridley, what do you do here with the information of the past two weeks,
                                         
                                        no Callahan, or do you want to give Calvin Ridley a chance, or would you just move on?
                                         
                                        I, you know, I think you should hold him.
                                         
                                        He's been out, I mean, if you need an option, I don't know if he's going to play this week.
                                         
                                        Their buy week is next week.
                                         
                                        So you can absolutely move on from him
                                         
    
                                        He's not going to help you probably
                                         
                                        Until three weeks from now
                                         
                                        But three weeks from now
                                         
                                        Andducers make a note of this

                                        Because I think he'll play then
                                         
                                        And make a note
                                         
                                        If what we're seeing right now
                                         
                                        With Ward gets better
                                         
                                        Ridley might be the number one target

                                        All right. We're back. We're talking tight ends. This list is quite shorter, but a reminder, Brenton Strange for the Jaguars. He is eligible to return week 11.
                                         
                                        Darren Waller is week 13. That's still a ways off. My number one tight end, it's Colston Loveland.

                                        he doesn't have that much more to give

                                        at the tight end position the matchup against
                                         
                                        Cincinnati is outstanding. They are bad against tight ends. We don't know if Cole Commet will be
                                         
                                        healthy. If Cole Comette is out, Colson Loveland should be started. So, um, I agree. You know,
                                         
                                        you, you, we feel this, we feel very similar about Mason Taylor and Colson Loveland. We are not
                                         
                                        calling them bad options. No. Or bad players. No. Or bad fantasy assets. They're,
                                         
                                        they're good. They just don't got that dog. Colson Loveland. He is. He's, he's,
                                         
    
                                        does not have that dog that's that's someone was like hey he broke a tackle seeing and it's like
                                         
                                        come on man that defender was falling over while he tried to tackle him before he caught the ball
                                         
                                        yeah i mean but you get they got juice yeah it's like both taylor and lovelin you give him
                                         
                                        well no taylor will just fall down where he catches the ball but lovelin if you give him the ball
                                         
                                        in space yes he will make something happen electric athlete that will that will he can run away from
                                         
                                        people yes no problem he can look like a wide receiver out there there's a reason he was a top
                                         
                                        to an NFL draft pick
                                         
                                        just you've got to get that space
                                         
    
                                        for him.
                                         
                                        Are you willing to go after
                                         
                                        Harold Fanon?
                                         
                                        He's on by.
                                         
                                        He's more rostered, but he might be of it.
                                         
                                        That's what I mean.
                                         
                                        He's got the buy week.
                                         
                                        Do you care?
                                         
    
                                        We just talked about Brown's targets.
                                         
                                        I'm not, I'm not raw.
                                         
                                        He was six for 62.
                                         
                                        Oh, I mean, it was my start of the week this last week.
                                         
                                        The matchup was perfect for him.
                                         
                                        David and Joku trade rumors are floating.
                                         
                                        If, I mean, obviously, if Njoku got traded, I think Harold Fannum would be outstanding.
                                         
                                        They're targeting the tight end so much.
                                         
    
                                        It's the one area of the field where Dylan Gabriel seems to be able to get the ball.
                                         
                                        And so, yeah, I mean, I'm not saying you need to drop him, but it's hard to.
                                         
                                        I'm saying do you go after, if you're in tight-in purgatory, is he a player?
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        If you saw him, you would.
                                         
                                        I am in tight-in purgatory.
                                         
                                        If he was on our waivers, I would stash him.
                                         
                                        That's what I mean.
                                         
    
                                        Joanne Johnson. We were back. Eight targets. Five for 53.
                                         
                                        Shaheed trade rumors.
                                         
                                        I mean, it's going to be Tyler Shuck, but tons of plays, tons of opportunity there.
                                         
                                        Would you rather have Joanne or Theo Johnson?
                                         
                                        The New York Giants.
                                         
                                        I was really excited for Theo Johnson from an analytical standpoint.
                                         
                                        He has pretty much everything to have a breakout. He's young. He's insanely athletic.
                                         
                                        He is desperately needed in this offense
                                         
    
                                        And film-wise, I just watch him
                                         
                                        I'm like, he's not that good.
                                         
                                        So we have three potential, don't read them.
                                         
                                        I got three potential cat names for you.
                                         
                                        All right, all right.

                                        at the dst position detroit they could have been dropped because of the by week they are
                                         
                                        back they're taking on minnesota it's probably j j mccarthy who has taken nine sacks in his
                                         
                                        short very very short career thus far they are very much in play the chargers widely available
                                         
    
                                        at tennessee cam ward on pace for 72 sacks taken the record is 76 they are a strong option
                                         
                                        the jaguars the the nice thing is um i don't believe i'm playing the chargers defense this week
                                         
                                        personally um so they won't let everyone else down exactly i targeted this matchup last week
                                         
                                        They are a great play.
                                         
                                        They could not get after them despite, you know, being on pace for record sacks giving up.
                                         
                                        This will be better.
                                         
                                        The Jaguars, I like them.
                                         
                                        It is on the road, but they're, I'm seeing available in 90 plus percent of leagues.
                                         
    
                                        And they're coming off a bye.
                                         
                                        And they will be playing against Gino Smith.
                                         
                                        Yeah, that's great.
                                         
                                        He's been do-do pooh-poo this year.
                                         
                                        That is good stuff.
                                         
                                        And let's see.
                                         
                                        The Rams are also pretty widely available.
                                         
                                        Oh, man.
                                         
    
                                        And again, at home against the Saints.
                                         
                                        That should be the number one pickup.
                                         
                                        You like the Rams more than the Chargers?
                                         
                                        I like the Rams more than the Chargers because the Rams are at home.
                                         
                                        When I'm looking at defenses, I really want to focus on, like, if I've got the option, I would, if it's in the same tier, I'm taking the home.
                                         
                                        Yeah, no, I can agree with that.

                                        talk quarterbacks much during the main
                                         
                                        segment, but I will say it again.
                                         
                                        I know that Joe Flacco has
                                         
    
                                        a shoulder injury, but
                                         
                                        he is, I mean, behind Tracy,
                                         
                                        he's my number two pickup
                                         
                                        because I said it last week.
                                         
                                        I am irrationally
                                         
                                        bullish on what is happening in
                                         
                                        Cincinnati, and the schedule is great
                                         
                                        rest of year. I think that
                                         
    
                                        Joe Flacco is someone that
                                         
                                        it's not, it will never
                                         
                                        feel as good as, you're like,
                                         
                                        when you see Josh Allen in your lineup, if you see
                                         
                                        Lamar,
                                         
                                        You just, you look at it and you feel like you can just pull your seats up and you're just going to sleep so tight.
                                         
                                        Oh, it's so warm and comfy.
                                         
                                        You will not feel like that with Joe Flacco, but the points he's going to give, I think that I think he's going to be an absolute superstar.
                                         
    
                                        You think he's basically going to do what he did when he took over for the Browns two years ago.
                                         
                                        He was.
                                         
                                        And also the past two weeks that what he has done for the Bengals.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So having said that, Joe Flacco, way up there, but we got the shoulder injury so we can't confirm if he's going to play this week.
                                         
                                        who are going to play this week.
                                         
                                        I'll take. I'll take Stafford.
                                         
                                        He was, you know, my backup option last week on the Wednesday show because he was going
                                         
    
                                        into buy not playing and he's not, you know, a sensational superstar fantasy asset.
                                         
                                        So I think he was dropped in a lot of leagues.
                                         
                                        If you follow that advice and picked him up, I would play him this week versus New Orleans
                                         
                                        off the buy, 29 point.
                                         
                                        New Orleans.
                                         
                                        Yeah, he's only, there's only one of them.
                                         
                                        The Rams are favored by so much
                                         
                                        that they don't even give the respect
                                         
    
                                        of all of New Orleans.
                                         
                                        No plural. No, it's just New Orleans.
                                         
                                        They're playing the New Orleans Saint.
                                         
                                        And 29 point implied team total.
                                         
                                        It's tied for the highest of the week.
                                         
                                        He's been actually throwing touchdowns.
                                         
                                        Devante Adams makes a big difference
                                         
                                        for what he could do around the goal.
                                         
    
                                        And for some reason, he cannot throw the ball to Puka in the red zone.
                                         
                                        And Pooka being back is just, it's humongous.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I got Aaron Rogers taken on the Indian
                                         
                                        Indianapolis Colts over the last six weeks.
                                         
                                        The Colts are 30th in schedule-adjusted points to the quarterback.
                                         
                                        Their defense is, it's not that it's bad,
                                         
                                        is their offense is so incredibly good
                                         
    
                                        that the other team at some point just has to give up on running the ball
                                         
                                        and they have to start chucking it.
                                         
                                        We got a 49 and a half point over under.
                                         
                                        Rod Rogers to me looks like he's playing capable football.
                                         
                                        I won't say it's great, but I will say it's somewhere between okay and good.
                                         
                                        sure this is a good week for if you need to stream of a quarterback it was was it last week
                                         
                                        that was so difficult or two weeks ago one of those was so difficult but you got flak
                                         
                                        Tua against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday I think is good Trevor Lawrence that one is
                                         
    
                                        just you're going to be you're going to be shaking and quaking in them boots playing Tua I'm not
                                         
                                        saying your process is wrong I just that freaks me out man yeah I mean Tua has been
                                         
                                        putting up some touchdowns um the fact that Baltimore showed up
                                         
                                        the way they did against the Chicago Bears' offense,
                                         
                                        it just gives me a little bit more pause.
                                         
                                        I get that. They were coming off the buy.
                                         
                                        And I think with Lamar there, Baltimore,
                                         
                                        you would expect them to score a lot of points
                                         
    
                                        on the Dolphins.
                                         
                                        And then, I mean, keep an eye.
                                         
                                        I definitely take the over in that game.
                                         
                                        Keep an eye on J.J. McCarthy.
                                         
                                        The first two weeks were not great,
                                         
                                        but Minnesota historically has given us
                                         
                                        pretty good fantasy value for the quarterbacks.
                                         
                                        That's going to do it for today's show.

                                        I got to explain the joke
                                         
                                        I got to explain the joke because
                                         
                                        last week
                                         
                                        what happened was
                                         
                                        right when it was
                                         
                                        everyone assumed Lamar was playing
                                         
                                        it was a 50 and a half point over under for the
                                         
    
                                        Baltimore game and then there was
                                         
                                        the first report out that it
                                         
                                        looked like Lamar
                                         
                                        might not like it was it was
                                         
                                        the report where it was even though he was a full participant
                                         
                                        he was on the practice squad or on the
                                         
                                        he was the scout team yes
                                         
                                        and so as soon as that scout team report came out
                                         
    
                                        I was like, let me go check the line.
                                         
                                        And it was still at 50 and a half.
                                         
                                        So I personally made a decent-sized wager because I figured I got news before people.
                                         
                                        I made an investment.
                                         
                                        I made an investment. Thank you, Mike.
                                         
                                        And I took the under on that game.
                                         
                                        50 and a half, heck yeah.
                                         
                                        Hours later, it was 44 and a half points.
                                         
    
                                        That's crazy.
                                         
                                        And Jeremy tailed me.
                                         
                                        He follows me on the platform.
                                         
                                        And so he just, he saw it, he tailed me immediately.
                                         
                                        And then we go to look at our winnings this week because even though that game,
                                         
                                        was really close to going over 50-and-a-half against Chicago.
                                         
                                        You were an idiotic quarterback sneak decision away from losing.
                                         
                                        From losing that bet.
                                         
    
                                        But we won.
                                         
                                        And so, you know, you go to look at your winnings.
                                         
                                        And then Jeremy's like, hey, Jay, you bet for the next week.
                                         
                                        Did you not know this, Mike?
                                         
                                        No.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        So, I took the under on this.
                                         
                                        You bet a future?
                                         
    
                                        I was so quick to it that I bet on the wrong game.
                                         
                                        And so I've got the under on this upcoming match.
                                         
                                        up against the Dolphins with Lamar
                                         
                                        active, which I don't want.
                                         
                                        So I would be rooting for
                                         
                                        some bad defense there. Whoops.
                                         
                                        Take your time when you're
                                         
                                        Slow down, everyone. When you're playing for fun.
                                         
    
                                        It's a good piece. No, it's a good piece of life.
                                         
                                        PSA. Take a breath. So
                                         
                                        anyways, that was why I was like, I would definitely
                                         
                                        take the... Oh my gosh. That's hilarious.
