Week 4 Waivers + Tough Drop Decisions | Fantasy Football 2026 - Ep. 1982

0:00Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

0:22Welcome in.

0:30Back again.

0:32Football is the best.

0:36Freaking Case Keenum.

0:38Case Keenum's the best.

0:39Case Keenum.

0:42Like, not just winning, but looking very competent.

0:47Do we not?

0:48It was awesome.

0:49Do we not see my point from a few shows ago?

0:53The parody?

0:54No, just the, there's guys that are veteran quarterbacks.

0:57Yes, yes, yes.

0:58That get thrown to the garbage heap.

1:00Yeah.

1:00And apparently are capable of playing so much better than Cam Ward.

1:05Yeah.

1:06Yes.

1:06Case Keenum.

1:07Case Keenum, like, in his time.

1:09I know.

1:10Was, like, he was efficient.

1:12Yeah, I mean, he was a good quarterback.

1:13But his time was 2019.

1:15Yes.

1:15He's been doing this.

1:16It's, like, over half a decade ago.

1:18I was shocked he was still in the league.

1:19I really was.

1:20Well, he was, he said that he retired mentally.

1:23Yeah, that's right.

1:24Okay.

1:24And then.

1:25Mentally.

1:25Well, he hadn't put it in paperwork.

1:27As have I.

1:28He decided that he was going to retire and walk away.

1:31And then Ben Johnson called him.

1:33And the only reason he came back was for Ben Johnson.

1:34Yeah.

1:35And then he wins on Monday night football.

1:38Yeah.

1:38In front of his family.

1:40It was.

1:4027 to 7.

1:41It was awesome.

1:43Ben Johnson is very good.

1:46He was in the back.

1:47And, like, Keenum was seriously on point.

1:50Like, so much stuff was just short timing.

1:53And Keenum was, like, the ball placement, it had to be precise.

1:57And he was.

1:57He got it done.

1:58Yeah, this was not a good night for the Eagles.

2:04No.

2:05No, it was not.

2:07Devon?

2:08I would say year.

2:09I don't think I would.

2:10I don't think I would relegate it.

2:11Okay, that's fine.

2:12They almost lost to the Titans with Cam Ward.

2:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2:15Which seems impossible.

2:16I mean, genuinely, like, this feels like an 0-3 team.

2:20Well, they could have lost to the Commanders in Week 1 as well.

2:24They're not, you know, they're feeling the absence of A.J. Brown.

2:28They're feeling the age of Saquon Barkley, the explosive plays on the team.

2:34We're not using Makai Lemon.

2:35Eli Stowers was a terrible draft pick.

2:37We don't have Dallas Goddard, who had a really good Week 1 and 2.

2:41Don Tavion Wicks, 2 for 32.

2:44Devontae Smith, 6 for 65.

2:46Saquon was 15 for 82.

2:47No touchdown.

2:48Jalen Hurts, I mean, hugely disappointing fantasy night.

2:53I was shocked they didn't run more.

2:56Like, Barkley to the outside was working fantastic.

3:01And then they're like, no, we're going to, let's have Jalen Hurts take this offense on.

3:06It's like, unnecessary.

3:09Barkley is destroying these people.

3:10You can kill them on the ground.

3:11It's the Bears.

3:12So the Bears won 27-7.

3:14They won with 59 points in Week 1.

3:16And here we are with Colston, Loveland, Roman Dunze.

3:19Oh, Loveland, just stretch your arms, man.

3:23That was the, yeah, you say that, but also Rome, just open your hands.

3:28Because he caught it with his fingers closed and therefore did not catch the ball.

3:32I don't expect more.

3:33Caught it with his fingers closed.

3:35That's what happened.

3:36His fingers were like too closed already and it hit the outside of his fingertips.

3:41Like, what are you doing?

3:42Which he's second in the league in drops, I think, over the last couple of years.

3:45Well, I don't know if he's second.

3:46Hardis was pointing out that people destroy Quentin Johnston for his drops.

3:52And Rome is one drop behind him.

3:54Except Quentin, huge, has like a ton of volume.

3:57I was unwilling to acknowledge Jason's recommendation of Khalif Raymond two weeks ago

4:03because I was not capable of believing that this person,

4:10in the face of a Dunze-Loveland burden,

4:13could have any sort of meaningful long-term role.

4:16Look, when you're 32 years old.

4:18In year 11.

4:18In year 11.

4:20As an undrafted free agent.

4:21Journeyman that's hit different teams.

4:23You've got to make your mark.

4:26I mean, I give so much credit to somebody like Ben Johnson for, like,

4:31just being player agnostic and just taking the best play, the best player,

4:36the best route, and prioritizing it.

4:39I don't know if you guys have seen the play.

4:40Benjamin Solak on Twitter shared it.

4:43There was a play schemed up where two wide receivers ran through the C-gap.

4:50Like, the play is wild.

4:52You watch this and you're like...

4:53I missed this one.

4:53So they run up through the C-gap.

4:55Yeah.

4:55I mean, so you've got, like, no cornerbacks, essentially,

5:00on two different wide receivers going in different directions.

5:02It is mastermind-level stuff.

5:05Well, and the QB sneak for Case Keenum to get a rushing touchdown was,

5:09we're going to have the guards fake.

5:12Like, we sent...

5:13They did the complete opposite of what is a big-man football.

5:17We're stronger.

5:18We're going right...

5:19They're like, no, we're going to act like we're...

5:21The guards are going to pull out.

5:23And then...

5:24Case Keenum.

5:25Case Keenum scores a rushing touchdown.

5:27I feel like you guys...

5:28Philadelphia, you've got to walk home.

5:31There's no buses allowed.

5:33If Case Keenum gets a rushing touchdown, you walk.

5:36I know...

5:37I hope it's raining.

5:37I know a couple of things.

5:39I know that the...

5:41Now, Burden got into the end zone on a play that was basically a running play,

5:44and he got pushed in from eight yards away.

5:47Adunze, 3-4-44.

5:48However...

5:484-4-31.

5:4911 targets for Luther Burden.

5:51Yes.

5:51We will take that.

5:52Yes, we will.

5:54Feed the Burden.

5:55Yes.

5:56But I will say this...

5:57Feed the Burden.

5:58Is that Mary Poppins you're going with?

5:59You know what?

6:00Sure.

6:00Toppins.

6:01I know what you're saying.

6:02Feed the Burden.

6:03Feed the Burden.

6:07Toppins.

6:08Toppins.

6:09I just know this from 12 years of fantasy football.

6:13If Kalief Raymond's roster percentage surpasses like...

6:16Oh, it's over.

6:1650%.

6:17Yeah.

6:17This dude will never do it again.

6:20You can't look at him.

6:21I mean, is there any of you?

6:23Let's say we just put all four of these bears on your team.

6:27There's nobody that's starting Kalief Raymond over Adunze or Loveland.

6:31It feels impossible to do that.

6:34I mean, he played 75% of the snaps.

6:38He's been over 60% of the snaps in all three weeks.

6:41And so, therefore, on a good offense where he's very involved and knows the system well

6:46and is being used well, you feel like you should be able to start him.

6:49But how?

6:49How do you start a year 11?

6:52Like, we know who Kalief Raymond is.

6:54Yeah, Ben Johnson knows who he is.

6:57Which is a superstar.

6:59He's the next Parker Washington.

7:01Oh, my God.

7:01Yeah.

7:02No, remember we were doing the...

7:03Like, who's the next Michael Wilson?

7:06Oh, yeah.

7:06I think we did that time machine.

7:07Yeah.

7:08We found him.

7:09We might have.

7:09I mean, at least through three weeks.

7:11And here we are.

7:12Three weeks into the fantasy season.

7:14It is a moment in time where we can say, hey, if it hasn't gone your way, do not give up.

7:21We have been here for 12 years and we have seen literally hundreds, maybe thousands of

7:29people write in at 04, 05, make the playoffs, win a championship.

7:34Have you seen the injuries this year?

7:35Yeah.

7:35Everything that's terrible that has happened to you and your bad luck.

7:38Because there is.

7:39There's bountiful bad luck this year.

7:41And that bad luck, that cloud, it might move over to your opponent next week.

7:47Also, in every league, there are, you know, as the weeks go on, you get into week four,

7:53week five, you've got, you know, half the league is on the bottom half of their league

7:58and they start giving up, folding, not trying as hard, not going on the way.

8:04And the league gets a little easier as well.

8:07You know, so stay the course and you'll be fine.

8:10Yeah.

8:11It's been, uh, it's been wild so far, but don't be the one to give up first.

8:16When those other teams start to give up.

8:18Right.

8:18You can take advantage.

8:20Let's talk some news.

8:23News and notes from around the league.

8:29All right.

8:30Jameis Winston remains the team starting quarterback for now.

8:33For now.

8:33How many weeks you give it?

8:35Two.

8:35One.

8:36Yeah.

8:36One.

8:37Maybe one.

8:37You think that they'll have McCarthy up to speed in one week?

8:40Well, let's put it this way.

8:41The Cardinals beat him this week and Winston commits turnovers.

8:44It's possible.

8:46The Cardinals are, are the, are the entire reason it'll be one or more because either

8:51the Cardinals are bad and Jameis Winston wins and they're not going to, they're not

8:55going to pull him after a, after a victory and he might look fine.

8:58Right.

8:58Or the Arizona Cardinals beat you.

9:01And then you're like, we've got to make a change.

9:03I hear what you're saying.

9:04Let's just, let's just see how one week goes.

9:07But genuinely it is one week at a time with Jameis.

9:10He's the starter this week.

9:11Um, he will not be the starter rest of season.

9:15He's just not playing well enough.

9:17No, he's playing.

9:19He's the worst statistical quarterback in the league.

9:22And we've seen Cam Ward.

9:24I, we have, I don't like, I do think that JJ McCarthy will eventually take over, but

9:31in terms of Jameis being thrown in against the Rams, when you're not, when you haven't

9:36been getting the starter reps and then playing in that, in the storm game, I'll give him

9:40at least one more week against the Cardinals.

9:42That is, that is fair.

9:44We got to remember that that Titans game was a storm and you can't hold anything against

9:49him against the Rams.

9:50So maybe, is there a chance we see famous Jameis?

9:54It feels slim, but that would be awesome.

9:57That'd be awesome for neighbors to have someone that is just airing it out.

10:02Um, Jaden Daniels will travel with the team to London and practice in some capacity this

10:06week.

10:07So Jaden Daniels should be back sooner than later.

10:09What a game by Mariota last week.

10:11Yes.

10:12Good news here.

10:13Justin Jefferson ankle injury, not anything long-term and could play in week four against

10:17the dolphins.

10:18Wow.

10:18So avoided, you know, the, the dreaded high ankle scenario.

10:23That's exciting news.

10:24It is.

10:25I hadn't seen that.

10:26I was contemplating Kyler as my stream of the week.

10:29I think he's a fine enough pickup, but then I was like, eh, without Justin Jefferson, I

10:34don't know how long he's going to be out.

10:35But if Jefferson's back soon, even if it's not necessarily playing this week, Kyler's

10:40outlook is much better.

10:42Mike Evans is day to day with his rib injury.

10:45That changed quick.

10:46I thought he died.

10:49He didn't.

10:50I mean, the way, the way he went to his face was that of a man who was, who took three arrows

10:56in the chest and was reaching out to the, to the scenic landscape.

11:01It was like, this is it.

11:03This is how I go.

11:04I didn't, I didn't feel like it was, you know, this is a tough dude.

11:08Mike Evans, you know, has, has played long enough.

11:12He's tough.

11:13It really seemed like he took three arrows in the chest from Buddha Baker.

11:17And, um, well, I'm shocked that he's day to day.

11:21Yeah.

11:21They'll manage him through the week before deciding on his week for availability.

11:25Travis HN Jr.

11:26Will miss some time for the saints with the hamstring.

11:29It was not determined.

11:31It was a re-aggravation.

11:32It's a reminder.

11:33It's like he was on, he was maybe going to miss with a hamstring, went in, gave us the,

11:39as we've seen many, many times, the, the, the, the retweak of the hamstring.

11:42So I would imagine it's multiple weeks.

11:46Travis HN Jr.

11:47Will miss some time.

11:49I said that one.

11:50Brees Hall considered week to week with the quad injury.

11:52I'm Ron Burgundy.

11:53I'm pretty sure that Travis HN Jr.

11:56Will miss a few weeks.

11:57So it's a hamstring.

11:58It's a re-aggravation of the same hamstring.

12:00All right.

12:00All right.

12:01Uh, Brees Hall considered week to week with his quad injury.

12:04Yeah.

12:05That makes the signing of like Braylon Allen.

12:07If he's not already on your team, like he is for Mike and league of record.

12:10What?

12:10Um, how'd he get there?

12:12It makes that signing for like kind of difficult.

12:16I did not realize that Mike.

12:18Yeah.

12:18I was going to go pretty hard after Braylon Allen.

12:20Well, you can't.

12:21Dick.

12:21Go.

12:23You can't.

12:25So.

12:25Yeah.

12:26I mean, Braylon Allen will get the bulk of the work.

12:29He's looked okay this year.

12:31It's just a matter of, do you get it for a week?

12:32Do you get it for two weeks?

12:33Yeah.

12:34Somewhere in that department.

12:35We'll be talking about all these, all these running backs here in the waiver segment.

12:38But he like Braylon Allen gets Chicago and you can run on the bears.

12:43The.

12:44Yeah.

12:45I'm playing.

12:45I'm playing Mike this week.

12:46We got the week to week update.

12:47Uh, but Aaron Glenn was saying, I'm not, we're not going to give a full update until

12:51Wednesday.

12:52Terrence Ferguson unlikely to play in week four.

12:54They also lost Colby Parkinson to a AC joint.

12:58Maybe Higby is a one week.

13:00I mean, they, they don't sound like Pook is going to be back for this week.

13:05Is they said they've said more?

13:06Cause last, last week.

13:07Another comment about the fact that like he should be back soon, but it might not be this

13:11week.

13:11Okay.

13:11Cause we had McVay who is a liar.

13:13Mc liar face about injuries.

13:15Can't lie.

13:16If you don't show up to the press conference.

13:18Oh, thank you.

13:19McVay.

13:19Well, I mean, he showed up.

13:20He just left early.

13:22Dipped out.

13:23Yeah.

13:23Awesome.

13:23And nobody's here yet.

13:25I was here.

13:26Goodbye.

13:27Wow.

13:27Not happy, but yeah, there, there you go.

13:30We'll, we'll monitor more throughout the week.

13:32We got waivers on today's show.

13:33So much to talk about.

13:35So let's jump right in.

13:36Let's take a quick break and we'll hop into the waivers.

13:48Waiver wire presented by T-Mobile.

13:53Okay.

13:53Okay.

13:54Well, it's been kind of slow on the waiver wire for the past few weeks in terms of like

13:59high investment waiver priority burning situations.

14:03But this week is different.

14:04Uh, we do have some players that I think, uh, could be significant.

14:10It's tough.

14:11It's tough.

14:12It's tough.

14:13Yeah.

14:13I mean, let's start at running back.

14:14That's where the story is.

14:16We talked about Braylon Allen.

14:17And he's going to get an opportunity to start if, if Reese Hall is out, let's talk about

14:22Ollie Gordon.

14:23The second last week, 17 for 41 and a touchdown, three targets, three for 14, you know, in

14:30conversations in the off season, when they tried to box him into being a short yardage

14:35player, their head coach came out and said he would rather see Gordon compete to be in

14:38every down back.

14:39Think he's capable of doing it.

14:41Every snap of Ollie Gordon I've ever seen at the professional level, I've been personally

14:45impressed.

14:46I think he's a pretty talented player.

14:48He was very productive in college.

14:51He should get the majority of the work, but Jalen Wright will be involved.

14:56Jalen Wright is a player that they value the speed, the big playability, um, listed ahead

15:01of, of Gordon on the depth chart before last week.

15:04And the, the, the further complication to the fab spend decision is the fact that this

15:11is a team that is not going to score a lot of points the rest of the way in no way, shape

15:16and form is Ollie Gordon, Devon HN.

15:18And HN was struggling to put up much more than 10, 11 points on a weekly basis with all

15:22the snaps this week.

15:24For example, they have the lowest implied point total at 13 and a half.

15:28So that's the lowest of the year.

15:30Yeah.

15:31And that has to be, right?

15:31You're going to, here's what's going to happen.

15:33The matchup is at Minnesota.

15:35Yeah.

15:36You're going to go to Minnesota and you're going to spend a bunch of fab on Ollie Gordon.

15:40And then you might end up feeling really bad about it for a week at least.

15:44So what, what is the framework here?

15:47Because in all my leagues, getting anybody at running back, having running back depth is

15:53the hardest possible thing that you can do.

15:56And so there's value here.

15:58It's just how much.

15:59I am.

16:01I'm just, I'm concerned.

16:02Like, of Ollie Gordon should be added in every single league.

16:07But it will be, once Jalen Wright is back, I think it will be, you know, far more of a

16:14committee on a low scoring team.

16:18And they're, like the schedule the next two weeks is at Minnesota and then it's Cincinnati,

16:23which I know Warren had a good game against Cincinnati.

16:26I still believe that their defense is much improved.

16:30And then it's the bye week.

16:32It was like, that's a hard thing to commit a ton of fab to a running back that I think

16:38is going to suck for two weeks.

16:40And then you can't play him in three weeks.

16:41Yeah.

16:42I do think Ollie Gordon is the right pickup.

16:45Jalen Wright is not good.

16:48I, yeah.

16:49I don't think he's that great.

16:50I mean, he is a, he's a very good athlete.

16:52And if you can find him a lane, he can run where you can't catch him.

16:57That part is good.

16:59If you find him a lane, I'm not sure he will find the lane.

17:03And I doubt you're making a lot of, you know, openings with a bad offensive line, no threat

17:09of a passing game.

17:10So I'm not fearful of Jalen Wright.

17:13I think Ollie Gordon, Andy's right, has basically shown that he's a, he's a quality NFL player,

17:18but it's going to be a month before you're confident enough to, to play him.

17:23So dropping a ton of fab is, is tough.

17:25If I haven't been destroyed by, um, by injuries at my running back position.

17:31And it's just like, Hey, I need, I want a quick fix.

17:34I'm, I'm, I prefer Braylon.

17:36I completely, completely agree.

17:38If you're needing a start right now, the next two weeks, but if you're, if you're good,

17:43if you're solid, getting a player for the rest of the year is worth more fab.

17:46Yes.

17:47Agreed.

17:47But I, I'm concerned that is he actually worth the fab in the end?

17:51I mean, let me, let me ask you this.

17:53If Ja'Cory Kraski-Merritt was out on the waiver wire, what fab would he receive?

17:57Um, I'm trying to pick some more than Ollie Gordon starter, more than Ollie Gordon.

18:01Yes.

18:02See, I mean, I think that's a situation where he's been under 50% of snaps every week.

18:06Um, not hyperproductive.

18:09I mean, getting a starter week for the rest of the year is the equation here.

18:13Right.

18:13But is Ollie Gordon going to be 70% of snaps?

18:1760%?

18:17We, we don't know that yet.

18:19The, where I lean bill just in your hypothetical is it, they will like Mariota and that team

18:25looked great.

18:26Jane Daniels will be back.

18:27I just believe more in Washington.

18:29Yeah.

18:29They're signing Eckler.

18:31They have Katron Allen.

18:32Yeah.

18:32Bill could be in big trouble.

18:34I mean, what's the fab spin if you have a hundred fab still for Ollie Gordon?

18:37Yeah.

18:38Oh, I mean, he will, I imagine he's going to go for 20 plus cause it's a, like the starters

18:45after the year.

18:46I think for sure.

18:47I think he could, but I don't know that I would, I think you could go up to 50.

18:50Yeah.

18:50You're, you're going to have him.

18:52Are you willing to do it?

18:53I don't think I'm willing to do it.

18:55The nice thing about both of these guys in the thirties, like instead of a veteran running

19:00back coming in that, you know what they're about, like let's say Devin Singletary was

19:04the only back in town in New York.

19:06You kind of know what you're getting with Ollie Gordon.

19:10There is tremendous upside potential on a bad team, but it's still a young player that

19:15we haven't seen given all of the work.

19:18So from an explosiveness standpoint, you could be surprised in a positive way, as opposed

19:23to spinning up on the Singletary type of guy.

19:26Now Braylon Allen is more rostered.

19:28Like Ollie's out there for every league that I'm in.

19:30He's basically on no teams.

19:32Ironically, as the HN manager in our league of record, I drafted Ollie Gordon and then cut

19:39him because that's what ends up happening when you have other opportunities to pick up

19:43players that, you know, excel.

19:45Um, Braylon Allen, 21% rostered.

19:50Uh, he has scored, I think two times this year, right?

19:54Mm-hmm.

19:54No, the first one was called back.

19:56That's right.

19:57But he's looked very good.

19:5922 years old, had the youngest breakout age of any running back.

20:03But again, it could be very temporary.

20:06Yeah.

20:06You've got Chicago in Chicago this weekend in Cleveland.

20:09Cleveland has been stepping up on the defensive side.

20:12Chicago last night.

20:13You can run on them, but it's in Chicago.

20:16And I don't know.

20:17We've, we've been let down by Braylon Allen starts before.

20:20Yes, for sure.

20:21We have, um, we're not going to have a definitive update on Brees until after your waivers run.

20:27Most likely, depending on what, what time your waivers actually run.

20:30I think that from, from what I've seen, I think Brees Hall is going to miss at least two weeks.

20:37Um, in which case Braylon Allen, I think is a very good start.

20:42I, I've really liked what we've seen from the Jets so far.

20:45The offensive line has been a significant improvement from the year prior.

20:49Geno's been slinging.

20:50They've got the weapons.

20:51Sadiq looks like the real deal.

20:53So, you know, it's, it's a much better situation.

20:56Obviously it's not long-term.

20:58It's not rest of season.

20:59That being said, Braylon Allen has been kind of a flex with benefits.

21:05So it's not like, you know, when Brees comes back that Braylon Allen is completely, um, you know, a hundred percent unusable.

21:13Like you said, he had a, he had a touchdown last week and I had a touchdown that was called back on a penalty in week one.

21:18Um, and, and then you have, uh, obviously the, the saints, uh, backfield, which I'm very curious to your guys' opinion.

21:26I think we're going to disagree here.

21:29This is regarding Alvin Kamara.

21:31Kamara and Kendra Miller.

21:33Yeah.

21:33Yeah.

21:33Kamara is 54% rostered.

21:35Kendra Miller is 3% rostered.

21:38Um, a couple of tough matchups coming up.

21:40Kamara.

21:40Yeah.

21:41The disagreement that I think we're going to have is just what we believe the team's philosophical approach is going to be to that position.

21:47And I think most of the work's going to go to Alvin Kamara.

21:50I think that his, I think there's a lot more to the equation for them than, and I think we've seen it even with H and being active because we've been embarrassed at their utilization of Kamara with a healthy H and.

22:02Oh, that's still so confusing.

22:04I mean, to me, it's like I was, I was, we've done this the whole off season, the whole H and junior.

22:10And you're like with a chance you utilization.

22:13And I'm right there at the dolphins.

22:14I'm like, well, what did they do?

22:15No, sorry.

22:17No, it's just weird.

22:19Like I, I expect the majority of all the work to go to Alvin Kamara in the absence of H and your work Kendra Miller in, but I, I don't expect like if I had to start one on a weekly basis, I in half or full point, it'd be Kamara every time.

22:32Yeah.

22:33So the, the way that I see, I would be surprised if all the work goes to Kamara because they just spent a ton of money to bring a running back in and they didn't give him all the work.

22:42They seem like they want a committee.

22:44Um, they were using whoever it was Kendra Miller in week one when Kamara wasn't there.

22:50Um, you know, they, they, when Kamara was there, they were using H and as the backup.

22:56It seemed like an, an, an involving two backs.

22:58I think both backs will be involved.

23:00I agree with you that Alvin Kamara is clearly the leader in volume in snaps.

23:05Kendra Miller will be the backup, but I think Alvin Kamara is going to go for a lot more fab.

23:08And if, uh, you know, I said this two weeks ago, I think if Kendra Miller gets 10 touches and Alvin Kamara gets 16 touches, I think Kendra probably scores more fantasy points just because Kamara looks not the same.

23:23I mean, he's, he looked, he looked better this past week and I'll say in the fourth quarter, Alvin Kamara had five carries to Kendra's two, uh, and Kamara ran 12 routes to Kendra's eight.

23:34So if, I mean, it was on Kamara's side, but Kendra Miller wasn't a non-factor.

23:40I think they're both worth picking up this week.

23:43And to Jason's point, it's like if, if Kamara went for 20 fab and you can get Kendra for three, I'd prefer the Kendra side.

23:50You'd, you'd want to go to Kendra side.

23:51But it's going to be a prolonged absence, I think for H and at least three weeks.

23:54I am certainly not saying spend the most on Kendra Miller and drop fab.

24:00I think he's just a value for, he's going to not cost a lot.

24:05He shouldn't.

24:09Keaton Mitchell, Emmitt Johnson, Jalen Wright.

24:13You know, if you want to spend, it's a very similar situation there.

24:16Ollie Gordon's going to be the big ticket.

24:18Kendra Wright or Jalen Wright.

24:20Yeah.

24:20I'm mixing Kendra Miller and Jalen Wright together.

24:23It might not even matter.

24:25Those are a couple other names.

24:26But Jalen Wright's probably, you could get him on the cheap just in case the distribution is different.

24:32Yeah.

24:33You could.

24:34I, I don't want the backup.

24:37Like the Saints look like a good offense.

24:39The Saints are, are a fast pace of play.

24:42Tyler Shuck looks legit.

24:43The Dolphins, having the backup and a timeshare.

24:47I don't know that I want the starter in the timeshare for the Dolphins.

24:51So I'm not, I'm not doing anything for Jalen Wright.

24:53Um, Keaton Mitchell though, bears, you know, talking about, he was, he was unfortunately

25:00for Hampton managers.

25:03They were, uh, Keaton Mitchell was very involved at eight, eight carries, um, three targets.

25:10He's an explosive player.

25:13I'm not going.

25:1338% of snaps.

25:15I'm not going hard after him, but I do think he is, should be rostered.

25:19He's a depth at running back that you might be able to get on the cheap.

25:21And prefer Keaton or Mike Washington.

25:27Keaton.

25:28Yeah.

25:28I would prefer Keaton.

25:30The other names to pick up are just, you know, kind of insurance backs.

25:33Make sure that Kalen Black is rostered.

25:36Um, you know, Kenny Gainwell, we thought maybe it would be a pickup, but it seems like

25:41Bucky Irving.

25:42I had read something from September 24th.

25:46Cause I was doing some research on Bucky Irving for the injury.

25:50And, um, I don't remember the source, but they talked about him being on a pitch count

25:56early in the season.

25:57And then, and then we got him even in a close game, we got him pulled out and he just sat

26:03for the last 15 plays of the game or whatever it was this past week.

26:06There was no Bucky Irving was just standing on the sideline.

26:09Everyone assumed he was hurt and they must be handling this in a strict manner when it

26:14comes to the, to the pitch count.

26:17But he seems to be fine.

26:18Like I, I was trying to figure out, was this a, you know, is this like a attitude thing?

26:22Like, was there something that he did that got the team frustrated?

26:26You know, he didn't fumble, but it seemed like they literally hit a mark.

26:30You look at his games.

26:31Yeah.

26:31It could be a pass protection call.

26:33Um, yeah, it could have been, it's just weird to take maybe the best like talent that

26:39you have out of the game.

26:40But if you look at the opportunities in the three games, you know, it was eight attempts on

26:44the ground, then 17, then 15.

26:46He stops at 15 and they don't put him back in.

26:49Um, but at least four targets in every game, it's going to be weird for that team and Gainwell

26:53and all of those guys as we deal with no Baker for a little bit of time.

26:57But is there anybody else?

26:58I mean, Austin Eckler, are you adding him?

27:00I mean, I, there's, I don't think so.

27:02Deep, deep leagues.

27:03Yeah.

27:03I, I don't think like if Austin Eckler comes back to a team, which I could see very much

27:09happening, should he be added?

27:11Yeah.

27:11Will he be a fantasy relevant starter?

27:13Will he be able to play his way into a really important role?

27:17I, I, I would be surprised.

27:19Uh, the only other player I would mention, I would whisper is Caleb Johnson.

27:24Um, you know, more weeks in the system.

27:27Uh, you've got a couple more weeks before we probably find out what's going on with Josh

27:31Jacobs and man, they need to figure out a running game.

27:35They, they just have to make some changes.

27:36We might not, we might not get Jacobs back.

27:38I mean, the league is trying to get that video and that could be, it's, this thing has been

27:44snip, snap, snip, snap all over the place.

27:47Yeah.

27:47I don't, I don't mind you mentioning him as much as I should mind you mentioning him.

27:52My number one wide receiver pickup this week is Chris Bell.

27:55He, his snaps went up.

27:56This is Miami wide receiver.

27:58His snaps went up to 71%, seven targets, four for 67.

28:02Caleb Douglas has been out.

28:04You lose the weapon in the passing game that a Chan was getting the targets every week.

28:08And this is the expectation for somebody like Chris Bell coming off an injury, missing all

28:12of training camp, wasn't seeing the snap counts, uh, that we needed for any type of viability,

28:17but saw them jump from 41% to 71%, seven targets, big bodied guy had multiple red zone looks

28:25in this game, had opportunities for touchdowns.

28:28To me, I personally think that's a much better opportunity on a team that's going to be throwing

28:34from behind all game long than what I'm seeing out of like Wicks.

28:41And I, I would take them over Malik Washington too.

28:43It's pretty wild that we are, I, you know, kind of the consensus, the, the top four ish wide receivers,

28:51it's going to be the Eagles and the Dolphins.

28:53Right.

28:54Wicks and Lemon, Bell and Washington.

28:56It's absurd because it's like, well, of course it should be Makai Lemon, a first round pick.

29:00But then we have the, just more evidence of yesterday against Chicago, a very negative

29:07game script.

29:08We need to throw the ball.

29:10Dontavian Wicks, two for 32, Makai Lemon three for 29.

29:14Like meanwhile, Chris Bell and Malik Washington, they're, it's nothing special happening, but

29:19they're 17 targets between them.

29:22Like they're not destroying.

29:23The, the ironic part about those four top wide receivers is that all four are terrible

29:28plays this week.

29:30Like you're, you're going up against the Rams and the Vikings respectively.

29:35So I don't know that I want to put any into my starting lineup.

29:39And if I'm not putting any into my starting lineup, I would, I would go with the rookies,

29:44Chris Bell and Makai Lemon as, you know, the, the hold and, and look for the future for

29:49them to progress, to get more involved, to get better as, as NFL players.

29:53Chris Bell won't cost you much.

29:57And is widely available.

29:59Yeah.

30:00I think if you're looking for a start this week, the best one to pick up and play might

30:03just be Kanata Mumfield.

30:05Yes.

30:05Because the, the chance that, you know, we, we saw a big week.

30:10Yeah.

30:11Who, who is the, Mum's the word, baby.

30:13Yeah.

30:13Mum's the word.

30:14Look four for 93 and a touchdown.

30:16Obviously one of them, it was a huge play, but the 73% of snaps Puka Nakua may miss another

30:21week.

30:21You're not going to have Terrence Ferguson this week.

30:23You know, he'd be, he'd be involved, but look, Mumfield, the matchup, the Eagles, we

30:30just watched a no name.

30:33If, if, if Khalif Raymond can do it, Mumfield can do it.

30:36So to me, that's like, you're probably low competition pick up and start.

30:41Yeah.

30:42You could also throw Jacoby Myers out there.

30:44Jacoby Myers is higher up for me as well.

30:46He's a better wide receiver.

30:48He's, you know, a, a, a part of the system.

30:50Brian Thomas Jr. has been taken to the back of the shed.

30:54He had eight targets this last week.

30:56And then the matchup on the road against Cincinnati, you expect a shootout there between Jacksonville,

31:02Cincinnati.

31:03It's a game you want, you know, pieces of.

31:06I would also say this week, if you're picking someone up, cause you need to start this week,

31:11depending on, you know, if, if it is a flex level, like, you know, it's not your wide receiver

31:17one or two, you might want to pick up and start a tight end over some of these wide receivers.

31:23They've been scoring a lot.

31:24A rare thing.

31:25I just think there's, there's some names there where I prefer a lot of the stash and holds

31:30at wide receiver versus the play this week.

31:34And, and I think that there's some matchups and some injuries at tight end that can push

31:38you that way.

31:38I will say not available in any of my leagues, probably not available in yours, but it says

31:4425% of leagues.

31:45Jordan Addison is out there.

31:48So just check if he is out there.

31:5075% roster.

31:51Yeah.

31:51So people didn't let him go early in the now.

31:53There's a chance that it's a benefit.

31:55Yeah, absolutely.

31:56I think with, with Kyler there and potentially no Jefferson, that could be a good start.

32:00Ready for the drop candidates at wide receivers.

32:02Sure.

32:02By the way, some other names we could mention real quick, Roman Wilson, Pat Bryant.

32:07You know, I think chasing Roman Wilson is wild because I, you know, last week it was Jeremy

32:12Bernard and I think it's going to rotate around.

32:14Darn it.

32:15Washington got a ton of work instead of Friar Muth.

32:17Well, Roman Wilson was, was good last week.

32:20Yeah.

32:21Except he had the, the Dumbo play where it bounces off of him and turns into an interception

32:27and a score.

32:27And he kind of got benched.

32:29Yeah.

32:29By Rogers.

32:30Probably.

32:31I would imagine that the captain had something to say about it.

32:35Uh, but Roman over the first month or so of the, not over the first three weeks, Romans

32:43looked like the best wide receiver on that team.

32:45It seems like he, you know, Rogers hates Pittman maybe even more than he hates Roman Wilson.

32:51And so yeah.

32:52He can make half his own thing.

32:53Are you cutting Quentin Johnston?

32:55Yes.

32:55Rashid Shaheed.

32:57Yeah.

32:57Michael Pittman.

32:58Yeah.

32:59Brian Thomas.

33:00Oh, landmine.

33:02Yeah.

33:02I think he's a drop in a landmine.

33:04Yeah.

33:05Marv?

33:06Anytime you would start Britain's change every week over Brian Thomas, you're in trouble.

33:09Marvin Harrison Jr.

33:10I think, oh man, that's tough.

33:13I'm not, I probably don't cut him.

33:16But I mean, that's sort of like, I mean, are you cutting Metcalf?

33:20I mean, you're not cutting Metcalf.

33:21No.

33:22Metcalf's getting too much work.

33:23Uh, Godwin.

33:25I mean, you're going to have no Baker for a while.

33:27I just feel like the upside is gone.

33:29Yeah.

33:29I, I wasn't rostering Godwin already.

33:31Can't cut him.

33:32Very proud of that fact.

33:33Very cute.

33:34But yeah, it's like Keenan.

33:35If you're talking the battle of the olds, I'd rather have Keenan right now.

33:40Man.

33:40Khalif Raymond.

33:41Dude, superstar.

33:44Mumford, Mumford, Mumford and Sons.

33:46Mumford and Sons.

33:47Or, uh, or Raymond.

33:48Everybody loves Raymond.

33:51Raymond.

33:52Long term.

33:53What is the roster percentage on Raymond?

33:55Because maybe he's too low.

33:56I'm seeing 13.9.

33:57So, would you take Chris Bell or Raymond?

34:01Because I don't want to ignore Raymond if he's, if we're, if we're here at the top.

34:04No, he, I'll go.

34:05I'll go Chris Bell in that one.

34:07But Raymond is, let me go.

34:09Raymond is right now my wide receiver five.

34:11And that's behind Malik Washington.

34:13So.

34:14Yeah.

34:14Maybe that's not the right call.

34:16I'm telling you, if he hits 50% roster percentage, it's over.

34:19Yeah.

34:19It's over.

34:20That's great.

34:21Everyone pick him up because that means that it's burden and loveling time.

34:24That's a good point.

34:25We could.

34:26Make it happen.

34:26We could do it.

34:27All right.

34:28Let's take a break and we'll talk tight ends and quarterbacks.

34:30All right.

34:35Foot Clan.

34:36Whether you are on the go or at home, T-Mobile, well, they're built to keep you connected wherever

34:40you're scouting your fantasy team.

34:43And that on the go part, that is important.

34:45With America's Best Network, you'll be connected to the latest news and player projections.

34:49So when you're on the clock, you can draft a winning team.

34:52I can think of so many situations where that element of being connected while you're on

34:56the go is fundamental to fantasy football success.

34:59I'm in the midst of multiple leagues right now where I am responding to trade offers.

35:03We are massaging the trade offer.

35:05We want to make sure that I'm the one that gets the player, not another player manager

35:10in our league.

35:11So trade offers when you're on the go, all the news that's breaking so you don't make

35:14a mistake.

35:15And my favorite thing, maybe I'll mention it.

35:17Look, you're sitting and you have a quiet moment somewhere out and about.

35:21You want to jump in the UDK.

35:23We got the player profiles.

35:24You can watch all of those in there with T-Mobile.

35:26You can jump in on the player projections and our stat projections and all the 130,000 words

35:31of content.

35:32Again, T-Mobile making that easy to do.

35:35Every bit of news.

35:36Things are changing all the time.

35:38New player contracts, all that good stuff.

35:39So from off season to game day, every play is better with T-Mobile.

35:44What you got to do is visit T-Mobile.com slash network.

35:48Fastest is based on analysis by Ookla of speed test intelligence data of national speed

35:53score results for the second half of 2025.

35:55The best mobile network in the U.S. is based on analysis by Ookla of speed test intelligence

36:01data.

36:01Second half of 2025.

36:03All right.

36:08The grand Kenyon Sadiq is going to be the dude at the tight end position for the week.

36:15He's 33% rostered.

36:18There's been, you know, Jason picked him up, held him, dropped him, picked him back up.

36:23I made a trade offer for him.

36:25This was why.

36:25I mean, there was the chance that you were going to see a breakout performance.

36:30It's not a coincidence.

36:31It happened and coincided with Mason Taylor missing a week.

36:34And Adonai Mitchell.

36:36And Adonai Mitchell.

36:37Yeah.

36:37So.

36:37And playing in Detroit.

36:39Okay.

36:40It was a nice.

36:40So to temper the expectations.

36:42I would temper the expectations.

36:45However, we're not sure that Mason Taylor or Adonai's back.

36:47He's going to Chicago.

36:49Another great matchup.

36:49And this is a player that, I mean, he was drafted with.

36:53Once you break out.

36:53Yeah.

36:54Once you break out.

36:54You're going to break back in.

36:55You're going to play more and more.

36:5758% of snaps.

36:5857% of routes.

36:59That was, you know, the high so far for his early career.

37:04He looked great.

37:05His yards after the catch.

37:07His speed.

37:08He really looks like a hybrid wide receiver tight end.

37:13He doesn't look like a wide receiver to me.

37:15And he doesn't look like a tight end to me.

37:17He's like a thick, big boy wide receiver.

37:22I mean, 6'3", 240.

37:25So he's not like a.

37:26Honestly, he's not a towering tight end.

37:28No, he runs around like Anquan Bolden.

37:30That's what it reminds me of.

37:31Yes, totally.

37:31He runs around like Heinz Ward or something.

37:33Like he's a boulder.

37:35And he is an athletic freak.

37:37He's a mismatch on every play.

37:39He's my number one pickup this week.

37:41Of all players?

37:41Across all positions.

37:42Including the running backs.

37:43I don't mind that.

37:44I don't think that Sadiq has the chance to be a difference maker.

37:47Let me see where he is for mine.

37:48He's two for me.

37:48Yeah, I have Allen at the top just for plug and play need.

37:52But Sadiq.

37:53Allen?

37:54Braylon Allen.

37:55Oh, okay.

37:56Josh.

37:57Not Keaton.

37:57No, not.

37:58Yeah, Josh.

37:59If Josh Allen is out there.

38:00If Josh Allen is out there, drop your fat.

38:02Yeah.

38:02I probably would.

38:04Not Keenan, though.

38:05Yeah.

38:06No, no, no.

38:06Not Allen Robinson.

38:07Keenan is my wide receiver five.

38:09Yeah.

38:09Not Tim Allen?

38:11No, he's in the comedian list.

38:12Okay.

38:14So stupid.

38:15We don't show that.

38:16So, Sadiq, yeah, he's two for me.

38:18I have Chris.

38:19I've got Ollie.

38:20I've got Ollie at the top.

38:22Darren Waller, though, eight targets, five for 51.

38:26If Coker's out for an extended period of time, I think Waller will get more and more opportunities

38:31that aren't just red zone opportunities.

38:33Detroit matchup this week.

38:34Should be juicy.

38:35That's the best matchup for tight ends right now?

38:37This is another one of those where I was saying, you know, if you need a spot start at your

38:43flex, I think Waller might be better than some of these other wide receivers.

38:46You know he's used around the end zone.

38:48He's needed.

38:49He's getting more and more involved.

38:50He was injured, you know, late into camp and was getting worse.

38:54He was also just a late pickup.

38:55Yeah.

38:56Late pickup and old as dirt.

38:59So, he's just getting more and more involved.

39:00I expect him to have probably his highest snaps, highest route percentage share this week

39:05in a good matchup.

39:07So, five targets last week is pretty good for a player like that, especially one that's

39:11looked for around the end zone.

39:13And then, I mean, you know, it's tough.

39:16You don't want to fall into the trap.

39:19But Tyler Higbee, you know, the reason I wanted Terrence Ferguson is because the second target

39:26for the Rams is enormously valuable.

39:30And if Puka continues to miss and Terrence Ferguson, we know, is not playing and Colby

39:36Parkinson got injured.

39:38Like, so here's the question.

39:40He got 11 targets.

39:40I think people are going to have a problem with they picked up Ferguson.

39:45We don't know how long he's going to miss.

39:47We don't know when Puka is coming back.

39:49Would you just drop Ferguson to play Higbee this week if you need a one week start?

39:53Because so tough.

39:54That's where it's really, really tough to me.

39:56But probably, I probably would.

40:02Yeah, I think you got to do what you got to do.

40:04I really don't want to drop Terrence Ferguson.

40:08But if you need to, if you can't roster two tight ends, which sometimes you can't, if you

40:14got a shorter bench or other injured players, then you can move on from Terrence Ferguson.

40:19There's another category of tight end roster or managers, which is I've got Colson Loveland,

40:25so I already have two tight ends.

40:27I picked up Ferguson to play instead of Loveland.

40:28I can't drop Loveland.

40:30Exactly.

40:30Exactly.

40:30So then now I've got to drop.

40:32But I will say this.

40:33Ferguson, in his own right, is a good pickup.

40:35Like, he will probably be dropped in a lot of leagues.

40:37We always say drop it like it's hot.

40:39Make sure you're looking at when your waivers go through, not just who got who, but who dropped

40:43who.

40:44And Ferguson will be dropped in a lot of leagues.

40:45If you have the extra room for him for a couple weeks from now, I would roster him.

40:50And then if you need another start, Brenton Strange, good matchup this week, maybe an

40:55opportunity with the, I don't know, deletion of Brian Thomas Jr.

40:58Well, they ran, we brought it up on the show, they ran a lot of 12.

41:02Like, the snap counts for Jacoby and Parker were the exact same as Brenton Strange.

41:08Yeah.

41:10Defenses this week, hello, Minnesota.

41:12There's a reason Mike and I both tried to get them last week in the league, knowing

41:17that the Tampa, you know, Miami combo was coming up.

41:21We got outbid.

41:22But Minnesota this week against Miami is the go-to must pick up.

41:26Now they're 80% rostered because people signed them to play against Tampa.

41:30Baltimore as well.

41:31Baltimore has Tennessee this week.

41:33I think that's why they're sitting on Mike's roster.

41:35Correct.

41:35Yeah, that's cool.

41:36That's against me too.

41:39But they're 69% rostered.

41:40And, you know, the best, by the way, do you know who the number one scoring fantasy

41:44defense is in the national football?

41:46The way you're asking, I would guess the Raiders.

41:48Yeah, that's what I would assume because you're a Raiders fan too.

41:51Yeah, that would be the Raiders.

41:52The Raiders who, you know, they played New Orleans this past week, still had a double

41:58digit fantasy performance because I think they forced four fumbles, three sacks, interception.

42:04They're kind of a just ferocious defense right now.

42:08They get to play the Raiders.

42:09Or, sorry, the Chiefs.

42:10They get to play the Chiefs this week.

42:12So, I do think they're interesting long term.

42:15I think the Packers are also a pretty good pickup.

42:20They're going to Tampa Bay and they're going to play, you know, we always try to target

42:23the quarterbacks.

42:25You want quarterbacks that are going to make mistakes, throw picks, take sacks.

42:30And when you have kind of an undrafted free agent rookie quarterback making his first start.

42:34Jalen Daniels.

42:36That is a nice player to spark it.

42:39They got Jalen Daniels?

42:41We have Jalen Daniels at home.

42:43Look, I am still a little bit burned from the Packers against Michael Penix.

42:48But I get it.

42:49It should be fine.

42:51And to that point, nobody has been worse than Winston.

42:54And the Cardinals play Winston this week and they do it.

42:59It's tough.

43:00It's tough because the Cardinals.

43:01I mean, Winston throws picks.

43:02He loves to throw picks.

43:04And thus far, also no completions.

43:06Yeah.

43:07He doesn't do the completions, but he's doing the picks.

43:09But it's like Arizona Cardinals last week.

43:11No sacks.

43:12No interceptions.

43:13No fumbles.

43:13Oh, they have the worst pressure rate on anybody.

43:16You know, points allowed.

43:18But I get it.

43:19I get it.

43:20I think it might be okay.

43:22All right.

43:22That was the waiver wire presented by T-Mobile.

43:24When you're updating your roster right before kickoff, you've got coverage you can count on.

43:27Just another reason game days are better with T-Mobile.

43:29Check it out at T-Mobile.com slash membership.

43:32Let's do some full stream ahead.

43:33Or Jason.

43:34You're putting your finger up saying, pause.

43:35The win.

43:36Checking the win.

43:37I'm just going to throw a name out there.

43:39Oh, no.

43:40Disgusting.

43:40Hold on.

43:41You already threw Caleb out there.

43:43You can, you know, if you've got room, you can pick up Tyreek Hill.

43:47He's going to come back at some point.

43:49We're so far away.

43:51You think?

43:51Wasted spot.

43:52Wasted spot.

43:53Yeah, he said, I'm going to get off the couch and get to work.

43:56He'll join the Chiefs in week 10.

43:59Yeah, I mean, it might be later.

43:59If you care about that.

44:00It might be later.

44:00You can't IR him, though.

44:01Maybe.

44:02Like, there's, we know there's degenerates in like 16 team leagues and stuff like that.

44:07Okay.

44:08That's fine.

44:08Maybe.

44:09But in a standard 12 or 14, I don't, I'm not wasting a spot on Hill.

44:13We've got him in Dino Jr., Mike.

44:15That's a dynasty league.

44:16That's very different.

44:17I know.

44:17I know.

44:18All right.

44:18Let's get into the streams.

44:23Full stream ahead.

44:26All right.

44:27I think you're going to see some interesting names hit the waiver wire this week.

44:31And I think Bryce Young is going to be one of them.

44:33But I think Bryce Young is a good stream this week against Detroit.

44:37Sunday night football.

44:38The team has come out and taken responsibility for the gross mismanagement of Tedaro McMillan.

44:44I don't know if you saw that.

44:45Dave Canales came out and was just like, we're going to take all the heat on this.

44:49Like, we didn't move him around, put him in a position to succeed.

44:52We didn't do what it takes.

44:53It takes.

44:56That's nice of them to say.

44:58Yeah.

44:59Just how?

44:59Don't do it.

45:00How?

45:00How does that possibly happen?

45:03You know, games get away from you.

45:04And the pressure was crazy.

45:06I mean, that's something we need to give credit to Mason Graham and those.

45:10The Browns are 2-1 for a reason.

45:12Yeah.

45:12And a lot of it's the defense has stepped up.

45:14Like, people thought they would disappear with no Miles Garrett.

45:17But they have, you know, with Jared Verse and Mason Graham and that group.

45:21I just think Bryce Young, once they lost Coker, it was a disheveled offense.

45:26I think this will be a much different game.

45:28I don't know what the over-under is right now.

45:30But Bryce Young, I think, bounces back.

45:33I'm seeing 50.5.

45:34Yeah.

45:34Woo!

45:34Yeah.

45:35I think he bounces back this week.

45:36And I think this was one of those guys.

45:38It's not a waiver pickup on Tuesday.

45:40It's a waiver pickup on Wednesday.

45:42Right.

45:43When he gets cut.

45:44When he gets cut.

45:44They drop it like it's hot.

45:46Yeah.

45:46I'm going to go with a guy who is very available.

45:50Eugene Cyril Smith III.

45:53Okay.

45:55Colloquially known as Geno Smith.

45:57My dude.

45:59The quarterback for the New York Jets.

46:01Talking about quarterback three from last week.

46:0231 for 37.

46:0384% completion percentage.

46:05321 and three.

46:06Got it done every day of the week.

46:08I talked about the offensive line has been holding up.

46:11Geno is okay if you can protect him.

46:14Yeah.

46:15And the offensive line has been pleasantly.

46:17I mean, look, he's 75.5% completion rate through three weeks.

46:22Sixth in passer rating.

46:23Eighth in total EPA among quarterbacks.

46:25He's playing good ball.

46:26And the Bears defense is beatable.

46:2825th in EPA per drop back.

46:2929th in pressure rate.

46:30Which that.

46:31That's in Chicago or at home?

46:32I believe that's in Chicago.

46:33So, so long as the weather.

46:36Yeah.

46:36I mean, whenever I'm like picking things like this, it's like, oh, they're outdoors in Chicago.

46:42Right.

46:42Oh, they're outdoors in San Francisco.

46:44Don't mean you'll get you.

46:45Oh, they're outdoors in New York.

46:46I'm just like, blah.

46:49I'm going with someone who will not be playing in the United States.

46:53We will go with Marcus Mariota.

46:55Oh, are they across the pond?

46:56They are going over.

46:58They are playing in London.

46:59I love this one.

47:00And Mariota, he is a wild man because he can give you games like they did last week where

47:07you're like, holy crap, you beat the Seattle Seahawks.

47:10And then he can absolutely fall on his face.

47:12But he is available in.

47:15Everywhere.

47:15In about 94% of leagues.

47:19He was awesome.

47:20Threw for three touchdowns.

47:22The Colts defense is so bad.

47:23He's still running.

47:24And the Colts defense stinks.

47:26They're just, they're terrible.

47:28So if you are.

47:29They're not going to win a lot of games.

47:30Like if you are in the hellscape of quarterbacks.

47:35You mean the Drake May hellscape?

47:36Drake May.

47:36The Justin Herbert hellscape.

47:38The Baker Mayfield hellscape.

47:40The Jackson Dart hellscape.

47:42If I would.

47:43The James Daniels hellscape.

47:44I'm not playing Drake May.

47:46We can do this forever, Mike.

47:47I'm not playing Drake May.

47:48I will.

47:49I'll put Marcus Mariota in there.

47:51Will you drop Drake May?

47:53He feels like a landmine at this point.

47:57For the next.

47:58Would you drop him for Bo Nix?

47:59For the next.

48:00Yeah.

48:00I mean, Bo Nix was almost my stream of the week.

48:03I think he's another.

48:04Bo Nix is going to get like, I feel very confident that the Denver offense after they get out of

48:08this like extremely tough part of the schedule and it opens up, their offense is going to

48:13be much better.

48:15And Drake May and the Patriots, will they improve?

48:17I think they will, especially when they get AJ Brown back.

48:20But that's a long time from now.

48:21Yeah.

48:21That's like two months from now.

48:22Yeah.

48:23It's a landmine for a while.

48:27Yeah.

48:27That's crazy.

48:28A lot of decisions to be made this week.
