0:00Alright, before we get back to football, I want to tell you about something I learned recently and something that's worth passing along.
0:06It's called We Share Health and it's an alternative to traditional health insurance.
0:10If you don't get health insurance through work and you're stuck paying boatloads for your own health insurance, you should know that health insurance isn't your only option.
0:18More than 1.7 million Americans have chosen an alternative called healthcare sharing and one company I learned about is We Share Health.
0:24They're a non-profit and their members pay up to 60% less than they would for traditional health insurance.
0:29You still get access to a nationwide PPO network with over a million physicians plus unlimited telehealth.
0:34So if you're between jobs or self-employed, this could save you thousands of dollars a year.
0:38And with over a million physicians in the network, there's a good chance your current doctors are already in it.
0:44If this sounds interesting to you, take a few minutes to check it out.
0:48Call 1-888-WE-SHARE for a free quote. That's 1-888-WE-SHARE or check them out at we share health.org.
0:52Hey, I'm Tony DeCoppo, anchor of the CBS Evening News.
0:55On my new daily podcast, Great Question with Tony DeCoppo, we go deeper on the one big question you haven't heard answered or maybe haven't even heard asked.
1:03Follow and listen wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let's take a look at the waiver wire.
1:08Your shortened edition before the full length show on Tuesday.
1:11Right now with Jamie Eisenberg. All right, here we go.
1:14A little sneak peek at the waiver wire here.
1:16Jamie, who's the headliner? You know, Adam, there really isn't like one, hey, I have to go get this guy 100% because
1:23he's going to be a must start player. There are a couple of running backs that could be starters because of either playing time concerns or injuries.
1:30You got Mike Washington now seemingly as the lead running back for the Raiders.
1:34Not that he's the best running back, but the lead running back in terms of playing time and touches.
1:39You have Devin Singletary who could start for the Giants if Cam Scadaboo is not going to be ready, obviously barring a potential trade.
1:46You have Tyler Algier who could be the starting running back for the Cardinals in a brutal matchup against the Seahawks.
1:52And then you have a few wide receivers that are clearly playing well and getting more playing time, two of which I
1:58think should be added across the board. We said these two names last week in Antonio Williams and Makai Lemon.
2:04So there are some players that could certainly be starters for you, but none of them I think are like, oh my
2:10God, I have to go start them. And then a couple of quarterbacks as well.
2:14The, uh, the two would be Malik Willis and Bo Nix.
2:17Yeah. I like the waiver wire this week. It's not, it's not amazing, but, uh, it's pretty good.
2:22And I think it's very good. Yeah, it's good.
2:25Yeah. And then I would say that you don't need me to tell you this people, but if Jonah Coleman is available,
2:31cause he's 70, 72% rostered in Yahoo, 76% rostered in sleeper, if Jonah Coleman is available, drop everything, drop everyone for like,
2:37I would drop a Marian Hampton for Jonah Coleman.
2:40Yeah. Yeah. Probably don't have to, but you got to get Jonah Coleman.
2:43All right. Uh, quarterbacks, quarterbacks. We only have the Steelers and the Titans on by.
2:48So what are we looking at for quarterbacks? So I'm, I'm torn between Malik Willis and Bo Nix as the one to
2:54go get the reason I like Willis slightly ahead of Nix.
2:57I think they're both in favorable matchups this week.
2:59Willis gets the lions. Nix gets the Panthers. Nix is on a buy in week 10.
3:04Willis has this great stretch of games coming up.
3:06And so I think there's just a little bit more sustained value for guys that could be similar this week.
3:12Willis took a little bit of a step back against the Patriots.
3:15That's a good defense. He had scored 20 or more fantasy points in each of his previous two games.
3:21Nix has been 22 or more fantasy points in each of his last two games.
3:25So he's starting to play better. Clearly the game two games ago was a result of a, I think it was 49,
3:3148 yard touchdown run that helped him, but still playing better, looking more confident and then a good matchup this week.
3:37But I think Willis is a guy, both these guys are not top 12 quarterbacks for me in week nine.
3:43Like you said, there's only two guys on a buy, but I think if you're stuck at the position, like if you
3:49were streaming Jacoby Brissett or Geno Smith or even Kirk Cousins, you can pivot to these guys if you like them better.
3:55And what do you think about the, the two quarterback league guys?
3:58Who's your favorite? There's only really one. I think that's going to be available until we know the Baltimore situation and that's Gardner Minshew, you know?
4:06So I think in the case of Minshew, if you're looking at it, oh, I guess Anthony Richardson.
4:11Yeah, I was going to, um, I forgot about that Scott.
4:14I'm sorry. Um, I don't think they're there. I think Daniel Jones is still going to start.
4:19So if you want to speculate and pick up Anthony Richardson, just to stash him, you can.
4:23Uh, but my guess is the Cardinals start Minshew.
4:26I don't love the matchup, but as we've seen with the Cardinal situation over the last almost two years now at this
4:32point, uh, it doesn't really matter who they play.
4:35If they're getting these garbage time opportunities, they could be successful.
4:38So I don't think Minshew has a 20 point plus game in him against the Seahawks, but he could certainly be a
4:44streaming option if you're stuck and definitely in two quarterback leagues.
4:47He should be at super flex. Yeah. And the, yeah, no doy pickup.
4:51I don't know. I mean, I think so anyways, Kyler Murray, Kyler Murray, 65% rostered on Yahoo, 56% rostered, I believe on sleeper and 73% rostered.
4:58He's not playing that well. So I understand the hesitation.
5:01We gets Buffalo this week, but I will say this in two QB leagues and I'll put this in the story is
5:07it might not be a bad idea to add Carson Wentz because Murray does have a hamstring injury.
5:12Right. And not just that, but Justin Jefferson is just not happy right now.
5:16So we'll, we'll see what they end up doing there.
5:19Okay. And let's talk, uh, yeah, we'll talk wide receivers and we'll, no, we'll talk running backs and we'll take a break.
5:25Give me some, some running backs. So the, the guy I have at the top and this may change just, you know,
5:31based on what happens between now and Tuesday morning, but Mike Washington, um, again, just so many opportunities to be successful.
5:37He wasn't great with them, but still it's, uh, it, you, you can kind of see that they want him to maybe
5:43take control of this job or, or be the lead running back.
5:46I don't know if that's going to be sustainable.
5:49I don't know if it was a one week thing, but clearly actually, Washington gently has not been running well.
5:55And they gave Washington the chance to be that guy.
5:57Then there's Devin Singletary, uh, who might be the best one to go get because if Cam Scadaboo does not play against
6:04the Eagles, you're going to want to start Devin Singletary as at least a flex.
6:08So those are the two at the top. Tyler Algier is also in the mix because both of the other running backs
6:14in Arizona and look, we may get James Conner playing at some point soon, but both the other running backs in Arizona
6:20in terms of Jeremiah Love and Zonovan Knight, both came out of this game with injuries.
6:25You know how they treated Love the last time.
6:27Knights and they're going to be in the concussion protocol.
6:30Algier was awesome. I wouldn't anticipate that again, especially against Seattle, but he was awesome.
6:34You have Seth McGowan who, uh, you know, maybe cuttable after next week, if they don't trade Jonathan Taylor, he may be
6:40the best running back for the Colts. Could be him or DJ Giddens.
6:44We'll see how that goes. Dylan Sampson has been productive each of the two games since he's been back from his injury.
6:50Very good option in PPR. Emma Johnson should be added in all leagues.
6:54Kendra Miller may still be the, uh, still be a viable running back and a good matchup against the Browns.
6:59Uh, Kenneth Gainwell is playing well. There's just a few different options here.
7:03You can, you can go get what a ridiculous game for Emma Johnson.
7:07Just hilarious. Um, okay. And then we'll take a break and we'll get to wide receivers, including McKay Lemon and Antonio Williams.

8:24All right. Who are the best wide receivers to get?
8:27Yeah, I'm still torn between Williams and Lemon. I thought both played, you know, moderately well.
8:32Nobody was, you know, outstanding in that game. And clearly there's quarterback issues for Lemon, and we don't know how long they'll stick with Tanner McKee.
8:39But my guess is he's going to be the starter coming into week nine.
8:43Williams, you know, did his job without Terry McLaurin there.
8:46He's going to share with Traylon Burks in terms of that role.
8:49And I think Chico Conk will be better also.
8:52He had a miserable game with the fumble. But I think both these guys are worth adding.
8:56The difference is, is that Williams, his role is probably locked in for the rest of the season.
9:01Lemon could get, you know, the Devante Smith and Duntavian Wicks back in any moment.
9:06After those two guys, I'm sorry. Oh, no, no, I agree.
9:09Yeah, that's the thing. That's why I go Williams over Lemon.
9:12Maybe for one week, if you think those guys are going to be out.
9:16I'm not so concerned about Wicks necessarily, but once Devante Smith gets back, I think that's probably it for Makai Lemon.
9:22Yeah, just not enough targets, I think, for him to be successful.
9:25I think he needs a lot of targets. Jordan Tyson could start practicing in week nine.
9:30So, you know, absolutely needs to be rostered at this point.
9:33After him, it's a very up and down list of guys that could be productive, but you don't really know if you want to start them yet.
9:40But Ryan Flannoy has got 11 PPR points in four straight games, and we know he's an injury away from being a must-start guy.
9:47Adnan Mitchell I have next, you know, coming off the big game, but clearly had not done much.
9:52Didn't do much in his first game back in the finger injury, but this Jets receiving court could be all over the
9:58place, and Geno Smith's going to be throwing a lot.
10:01Wanda Robinson goes into his bye. I know Cardinal Tate missed last week's game, but Robinson, three of the previous four games,
10:07or three of the previous five games to last week, 11 or more PPR points.
10:11So Cam Ward played well. Maybe that continues coming off the bye, and Robinson can still be successful.
10:16You have the steady Eddie 11-point PPR guys of Khalil Shakir and Malik Washington.
10:20That's what they're going to give you. If one scores, they'll be great, as Washington did this past week.
10:26But I think you're just getting that safe number three kind of PPR option.
10:30I have Malachi Fields next. He's seemingly having a good rapport with J.J.
10:33McCarthy, so hopefully that continues coming off the bye.
10:36And then one other wide receiver to stash. We're getting closer to the Week 10 potential return is Deshaun Stribbling.
10:41We know that there's still injuries abound in the 49ers receiving core.
10:45Hopefully Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel play in Week 9.
10:48But Stribbling should be stashed as best if you have an higher spot.
10:51Good stuff. And at tight end, I don't want to give up on Chigoziem Okonkwo.
10:55You know, there were two plays in this game.
10:58He had a ball that he caught in the end zone that he had a foot out of bounds.
11:03And then there was another play where Jaden Daniels was rolling, and Conco was wide open.
11:08And this is just one of the worst throws of the night from Daniels, which is uncharacteristically inaccurate.
11:13There's a chance that he could have scored on that play if he had made one guy miss.
11:18So he had some opportunities there. Just wasn't able to capitalize.
11:21But I'm sure he's not the headliner at the tight end position.
11:24No, but there really is no headliner. I mean, at some point, we just have to say Mike Gusecki should be a borderline starter.
11:31I mean, he just continues to score touchdowns. And the way that the Bengals are struggling to run the ball and just
11:37throwing the ball all over the place, Gusecki's getting opportunities and cashing in on them.
11:42So I think he's worth a look. Again, low-end starter at best.
11:45Michael Mayer, better game this week than we saw last week.
11:48Just continue to be, I think, in that low-end starting range.
11:51I'm still confident in Juwan Johnson as a low-end starter.
11:54He's coming off his buy. He's 56% rostered. Good matchup against the Browns.
11:58And then Okonkwo. So those are the four. So all four of those guys, I think, can be in any order you think.
12:04The upside, I agree with you, is still with Okonkwo.
12:07The production has been with Gusecki and the other two are just kind of, you know, take a chance on if you need help this week.
12:14Well, you hit a home run with the Jaguars DST as your top recommendation last week going up against the Indianapolis Colts.
12:20And they scored 22 points. I mean, really, the DST scoring is so variable.
12:24But who's the DST to get this week? So we could save that for tomorrow with our special sponsors segment.
12:30We could do that. But I'll give you a couple of options.
12:33You have, make sure you check the roster percentage of the Texans 49ers coming off their buy week.
12:38But you know who could be the sneakiest one of all?
12:41Hmm. Who? Your team. Oh, the Giants against the Eagles.
12:44Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. I like that.
12:47This has been a pretty damn good matchup for DSTs.
12:49Let me see what the Commanders did last night.
12:52Yeah, they had their best game of the season.
12:54They had five sacks. I mean, yeah. You know what?
12:57I'm all in. I'm all in. I love it.
13:00Great stuff. Giants going up against the Eagles and in Philadelphia, but whatever.
13:03All right. We're taking over. We're taking over the link.
