0:00Welcome back to the Lineup Show brought to you by the FFD Fantasy and the FFD Fantasy and today, today it's week 7 already.
0:08Last week I screwed it up, I said it was week 2.
0:12I no longer wish it was week 2 because it went really well for me.
0:18How'd it go for you this week Jeremiah? A lot of fun and there were a lot of matchups where I kind
0:25of have these like backdoor wins and that's the most satisfying feeling.
0:29It's kind of been a type of season like that where you get it ugly no matter how you do it because
0:37there's plans and there's what's been happening and if there's ever been a season, Chev, of that happening, it's right here and
0:45you need to be right here right now for our Waiver Wire show because you have to adapt on a weekly basis and you'll come out stronger.
0:54Eventually we'll get some continuity as the season alights.
0:57Right now, we've had mass injuries going on and got the Jalen Hurts stuff happening.
1:02We'll touch on that later. So, Chev, why don't you just kind of tell the audience, kick it off with how good
1:10our calls were last week, what we got right.
1:13First and foremost, thank you for that as a professional transition.
1:17I want to hit real quick. We're going to be Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Herbert and Jaden Daniels list in week
1:257 and all of their cohorts and companions. So, there's four buys in week 7, Bills, Jags, Chargers and Commanders if you aren't initiated.
1:33But the hits from week 6, Jordan Love, QB streamer, QB 6 on the week, Kirk Cousins, Kirk O'Chains, He Who Remains,
1:41QB 8, Caleb Williams back in the fold. I mean, that's not really a streamer.
1:46You were honestly just, I'm not going to lie to you.
1:50You probably broke the lotion and the soft towels out for Caleb Williams when you put them back in your lineup.
1:57Not to get too graphic for the kids. So, then, I mean, you got Damian Pierce who we, I know for sure
2:04that we highlighted on the episode last week. We talked about, we talked about Jalen Noel as a post-waiver stash.
2:11He's coming along really, really impressively. It just doesn't, okay, it doesn't look like this is like busted coverage and flukes in
2:19the manner in which that it used to be with, like, Quentin Johnson would be running, just running wide open down the
2:27middle of the field and you're like, hey, something happened and he's not supposed to be that open.
2:33This isn't that. This is Jalen Noel just doing the dirty work, the touchdown catch he had, if you hadn't seen it,
2:40I mean, just nasty, nasty work on a double move.
2:44But we highlighted that before the week started. So, those were some of our best calls of the week.
2:51We did, however, I mean, we talked about, we talked a little bit about Darren Waller as a streaming option and that did not work.
2:59But we're going to talk about who actually did hit.
3:03So, we were wrong, but we could have been right.
3:06We're direct, as you like to say, we were directionally correct.
3:10It went to the tight end, just not the right tight end.
3:14But, hey, I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.
3:18Why don't you tell us about what's going on at the running back position, the lay of the land?
3:25Who are we adding? Who are we spending that fab on?
3:29Spin that, spin that. I'm trying not to curse.
3:32So, tell us who we're spending it on in week seven.
3:36But you feel really good. So, I understand. It's a total vibe.
3:40Check your waivers. Must adds. Tyrone Tracy, New York Giants.
3:43RB7 on the week. Only a 38% snap share.
3:4618 rushes, a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown. 10% rostered.
3:50Somebody to stash a little bit would be Najee Harris.
3:53But I really wouldn't be interested. Just he would be maybe next man up.
3:58I would also entertain, even though this is a waiver show, redraft offers.
4:03Look for weak hands in all formats for Cam Scadabo in redraft and in Dynasty.
4:08That's just the overall general counsel on that. Both things can apply.
4:12Tracy's a good add. Provides value. Scadabo can be a buy low.
4:16Damian Pierce. 68% rostered. 53% start. So, that number, the starter number percentage is going to go up.
4:22If Saquon is going to miss time, think of it in terms of fact of not Saquon Barkley is imminent to return.
4:30Because it's been a couple weeks. He ought to heal.
4:33He's an elite athlete. Just kind of pan back a little bit and think about the Philadelphia Eagles situation.
4:40Would they be selling with what's gone on with Jalen Hurts?
4:44The idea that Saquon Barkley might be out of town.
4:47And in that instance, Damian Pierce could absolutely end up being just a bargain bin RB1 for the team.
4:54He may not be an RB1 in fantasy, but he could get you RB2 numbers back.
4:59So, Pierce, he was RB9 last week against the Panthers.
5:0315 fantasy points. 12 rush, 35 yards. A rushing touchdown.
5:064 receptions for 15 yards. So, just a thought out there.
5:10Don't drop Damian Pierce yet. Pick him up where you can.
5:14Like, dumb and dumb. Pick him up. And just kind of monitor what happens.
5:19We're hearing about Jonathan Taylor in the trade market.
5:22Well, effectively, adjacent to that, if there's a competitive market, maybe Howie Roseman will undercut the price of JT and say, hey, I'll sell you some Barkley.
5:31Happens in Dynasty Leagues all the time. Can happen in the NFL.
5:35So, just something to just keep your eye out on.
5:39Lastly, let's go to Roshan Johnson. This is contingent on Kyle Menonga's status, which is week to week.
5:45He was RB12, Roshan Johnson. 14.5 fantasy points. 40% snap share.
5:4913 rushes for 51 yards. A rushing touchdown. 2 catches.
5:5234 yards. And then there is one more. I lied.
5:56Kendra Miller. 47% rostered. 9 fantasy points. 20 rush attempts.
5:5970 yards. 44% snap share. Nothing crazy. But we did see at one point Alvin Kamara kind of landed funny.
6:06He ended up being fine. But it just plants the idea in your head, Shev.
6:12And those of you listening at home, who could be next man up for opportunity?
6:17The running back position, a lot of it is based off opportunity.
6:21Talent abounds. It matters. Just look at Kenneth Walker.
6:24But in this instance where we're trying to turn over every leaf and fill in these dead lineups where you don't have a Brees Hall.
6:33Maybe you don't have a Jadarian Price. You have different running backs who have faltered on you.
6:39You lost Saquon Barkley like we talked about before.
6:42You have a Marion Hampton. Ah, what do you do?
6:45You know, I got a spear here, a spear here like an Ace Ventura.
6:50It's really tough out there. So these are some of those moves that you can make.
6:56Tell us, Shev, about handcuffs and stashes at the running back position.
7:00So this is really interesting. And going back to the Kendra Miller point, I think that you, we had a start-sit question.
7:07I can't remember who it was, but we ended up settling on Kendra, if I'm not mistaken.
7:13We've got, it feels like a one-week rental, but it just seems like there's going to be someone more involved in that backfield than just Travis A.
7:23Chan or Alvin Kamara. Or does this turn into a complete nightmare?
7:27Stay tuned in week seven to find out more.
7:30Because when is, when is Travis Achan Jr. actually, the artist formerly known as Travis C.
7:35And when is he eligible to come off of IR?
7:39Is it next week? Week eight? Yep. That would track with, with the four week.
7:44Usually the four week plan is the minimum in the standard right now.
7:49Yeah. I mean, the four weeks is the minimum, but like, so I'm trying to think, and we could, we could come back to that.
7:57We'll figure that out. But look, I was going to recommend Najee Harris, but I can't do that in good conscience because
8:05Tyrone Tracy walked in the trap and took over the trap.
8:09So we're going to start with Jaleel McLaughlin as a stash.
8:1225% roster played 63% of the snaps. Now we do have Dylan Sampson potentially coming back off of IR this week.
8:20He practiced limited in a limited fashion last week.
8:23Hopefully ramps up the activity. I think that that's the answer to the, if Quinshawn Judkins is going to miss time and
8:30Raheem Sanders is on IR, that's going to be, just imagine the touches that went to Jaleel McLaughlin.
8:37He put up 41 rush yards and 14 receiving yards going to a better player.
8:42And that's what you have in Dylan Sampson. So, and then just the D this is post waiver stash.
8:49Okay. Corey Kiner. I thought we, we recommended this last week.
8:52So this is back-to-back weeks, 2% rostered currently on sleeper back-to-back weeks with at least 50 rushing yards and eight yards to
9:00carry this past the in weeks five. And then 5.7 yards to carry in week six.
9:05So this is, he looks good and he looks good in the preseason this past year.
9:11So maybe, maybe he's good. I'm not going to put the stamp on him that he's good yet, but we'll see.
9:18But he could, he's on the watch list for being a good player.
9:23Not the one watch list that we talk about with all the terrorists on it, like Matt Nagy and Mike McDaniel, Mike Bin Laden.
9:31So, and then last but not least CJ. Well, there's two more.
9:35I lied. CJ Donaldson, 0% rostered. Got some burn with the Saints this past weekend.
9:40Big thumper, rookie guy out of Ohio State. This is, they take on the Steelers in week seven in France.
9:47So, it's just something that if you're absolutely just ramshackled at the running back position, you might be able to do some
9:55CJ Donaldson just as a break in case of an emergency, in case like, you know, the rapture happens or something like that.
10:03You can play some CJ Donaldson in week seven, potentially.
10:06And then Jeremy McNichols, I know that the commanders are going on by after this, but they're searching for an answer with
10:14Ja'Cory Krosky-Merrick going on IR for the groin injury.
10:17So, that's just something to kind of maybe get ahead of this right now.
10:22If you have the extra bench spot, if you have somebody like potential, you want to sabotage drop a guy like Keaton Mitchell.
10:30So, somebody else is stashing. Oh, it's going to get better.
10:34It's going to get better. Newsflash. Dude, nothing in Los Angeles is getting better for the Chargers anytime soon.
10:40If they fire Mike McDaniel, they hire the second in command of Alcocha, Adam Gase, as their interim offensive coordinator.
10:47So, just let that sizzle in your spirit for a little bit.
10:52I'm going to get into the wide receiver position now.
10:55Go ahead. Go ahead. Just going back to the Travis Achan artist, formerly known as Achan.
11:01It says on ShevGPT, it's kind of like this chat that I just created.
11:05I just asked ShevGPT on here, AI, super intelligence actually.
11:09It says that he's due to be back following the Saints week 8 bye.
11:14So, it's looking like week 9. So, he's going to miss weeks 4, 5, 6, 7.
11:19Then you have the Saints bye week 8. Travis Achan, it'd be a week 9 return.
11:25So, a little bit of time before that. Yeah.
11:28So, we got one week, for sure at least, more of Kendrick Miller, who you highlighted.
11:33And if you're desperate, you missed out on Kendrick Miller, you can go pick up CJ Donaldson and hope for a touchdown.
11:41But, you know, different story for a different day.
11:44Now, let's move on to the wide receiver position.
11:47There's not a lot here, right? But, they benched Brian Thomas Jr.
11:51in the second half of that loss versus the Texans.
11:55Benched. Like, didn't play. And you know who played?
11:58Travis Hunter. So, Travis Hunter comes out. Only played, I believe, 8 snaps.
12:034 receptions for 59 yards and a receiving touchdown.
12:06It might finally be happening. It might finally be happening.
12:09They need someone. Jacoby Myers is a solid role player.
12:13Guy who can get you 80 for 905 or 6 touchdowns.
12:16They need somebody else opposite of Parker Washington to be able to generate explosive plays.
12:22And that's exactly what Travis Hunter can do. So, I think that that role is going to grow.
12:28So, maybe it's time. Maybe we're here. But, let's move on to the meat and potatoes of this episode.
12:34Pause. Omar Cooper. Omar Cooper, fresh off of IR.
12:38The one catch for 30 yards against the Titans in week one before he goes, before the ankle injury sends him to IR.
12:46We're back, baby. 22.3 fantasy points. Seven catches. Seven targets.
12:49Six receptions. 103 yards and a touchdown. This is, he's only 13% rostered.
12:54I went on with our good friend Johnny on Sleepstream Stash on Friday.
12:58And we were talking about Omar Cooper as a potential breakout candidate.
13:02A guy that you needed to go ahead and put the waiver claim in now.
13:07Especially because, I mean, once we got the signal that he was practicing, it was, it's like, hey, no, no, no.
13:15We need to go do that right now. This Jets offense could amalgamate into something above league average, potentially.
13:21By the time that they get Brees Hall back.
13:24By the time they get Adonai Mitchell back. And that's, I don't think people are taking that into account.
13:31But, 13% rostered, guys. We got to get those numbers up.
13:35Those are rookie numbers. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.
13:39Okay? Jeremy Bernard. A guy who we recommended on last week's show.
13:43Right? 25.7 full PPR fantasy points. 11 receptions on 12 targets.
13:47Full PPR scam. 87 yards. This is what I call the Jarvis Landry.
13:51This is what I call the Jarvis Landry. So, Jarvis Landry, Jeremy Bernard comes out.
13:5625.7 fantasy points. Look, this is going to be a lot of people's priority ad this week.
14:02But we were telling you about this. That's why you got to tap in.
14:07We were telling you about this. Hey, I'm not from the future.
14:11We just do future stuff. Hee, hee. And last but not least, Jalen Knoll.
14:16Four targets. Four receptions. 107 yards. One receiving touchdown.
14:19First 100-yard game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jaguars. Okay?
14:22We need to, this is signal, not noise. So, Marv's not a full-time player yet.
14:27So, we still have some utility. There is a question.
14:31And I wanted, I didn't put this on the show sheet.
14:35But I need to write this as well. Just for you, Jason.
14:39Tank Dell makes his season debut this week. And I'm pretty sure he's going to be widely available if there, if your
14:47league is only like one or two, one IR spot or even two IR spots.
14:52You've been holding for seven weeks. There's a good chance that you lost the faith.
14:57I'm looking forward to that young man's debut. So, why don't you tell us about the stashes at the wide receiver position?
15:05And just one little note. At the FFD folks.
15:08All offseason. We've been talking that shit about the Browns skill position players and the Jets.
15:13That it might look bad. But in a few months, six to nine months.
15:18This is a couple months ago. It's going to look a lot better.
15:23So, just, you know. Ah, I'm so excited. I'm so hyped.
15:26Stashes though. Let's get back to it. Romeo Dubs goes to IR.
15:31He had a beautiful touchdown. It just sucks. Because he just like laid his old body out there for it.
15:37It was a thing of beauty. He's a respectable player.
15:41I know people bash him. Week one was terrible.
15:44Fine. He's a professional wide receiver. But stashes. Efton Chisholm.
15:48Eli Raritan. Kyle Williams. Secondary. Tertiary. Thirdiary. Fourthiary. Options.
15:51Backiotomy. On the New England Patriots. AJ Brown will get right.
15:54He's not being right. So, he gets right. He's having a tough time.
15:59A lot of drops. That will reconcile itself. But go out and get those handful of names on the Patriots.
16:06Take a shot. Post waiver stashes. Low roster ship.
16:09Conata. Mumfield. Okay. Devontae Adams injury. Missing six to ten weeks.
16:13Shev. I know you're going to tackle the tight end angle for the Rams.
16:18But one receiver angle is Conata Mumfield. And I would say.
16:21You mentioned Brian Thomas Jr. And you know. Not for nothing.
16:25Brian Thomas Jr. Would look good in San Francisco.
16:28Or on the Rams. It would just be a night and day thing for him.
16:34He's got a better shot than Brandon Ayuk of reviving.
16:37So, let's just put it that way. Let's do QB streamers.
16:41CJ Stroud. QB five on the week. Get those numbers up.
16:45He needs to be rostered. In one quarterback leagues.
16:48Everywhere. 23 fantasy points. 312 passing yards. Three passing touchdowns.
16:51And the cool thing about it is. You just mentioned.
16:55We're getting tanked L back. And Jalen Noel is hitting.
16:58And if Jalen Noel is in the slot. And you got Marv.
17:02And Nico on the outside. And then Jaden Higgins is going to come back next year.
17:08You got tanked L. Like all signs point. To lifting the tide of all boats.
17:13On CJ Stroud. Dude. All right. So, just a quick.
17:17Quick on CJ Stroud. What if we're living out the prophecy from 2024.
17:21Where CJ Stroud. Like we were drafting CJ Stroud.
17:24As a top five dynasty pick. And super flex leagues.
17:28And he was going off the board. At like QB five.
17:31QB six. You know. And we predicted this boom.
17:35Because they had Stefan Diggs. And Nico Collins. And Tank Dell.
17:38What if it's actually. It's happening right now. And I feel like nobody cares.
17:43Like it. It just. It's been. It's been incredible.
17:46He's been lights out. Like he just cut his hair.
17:50Made himself look like John Legend. And now all of a sudden.
17:54He's just back. Just. He's not playing like an ordinary person.
17:58He's playing like a dude. Who wants a $200 million.
18:01$300 million contract. So, I just. I just wanted to highlight that on CJ Stroud.
18:06Real quick. Oh. And he's. He's getting a little bit more aura.
18:11Like for a dude who has. Like none. Yeah.
18:14He's getting some aura back. A little bit more.
18:17Deepness in his voice. Like some confidence. And it's cool.
18:20You hear him. You mentioned the contract. That post game interview.
18:24He's just like. Thank God. Thank you everybody. I'm in a great place.
18:29Yeah man. You're in just a much better place.
18:32Week over week. You're getting more weapons surrounded. Better play by you.
18:36And a little bit more of that. Year one mojo.
18:39So, you love to see it. We root for these players.
18:43And you love to see that for CJ Stroud.
18:46Funny enough. You talked about. It's like nobody cares.
18:49Here's another one. With Jameis Winston. Two Malik neighbors.
18:53Malik neighbors having the Yolo balls of Winston. To likely and neighbors.
18:57And it's like nobody has cared. Well, just in case.
19:00We get to an instance where. There's no Jameis Winston.
19:04And it ends up being JJ McCarthy. JJ McCarthy.
19:07Chef. QB12 on the week. 40% snaps. 16.3 fantasy points.
19:10He lit up the Saints in short duty. 243 passing yards.
19:14A passing touchdown. He fed. Just what we want.
19:17Likely and neighbors. Which is all we care about.
19:2026 rushing yards. Superflex ad. He's not a one quarterback ad.
19:24You're not going to have to concern yourself there.
19:27But in a spot. Where you got superflex. And you talk about some CPR.
19:32To your dynasty. Rosters where you have them. Injected life.
19:36You love to see it. We call it when it's bad.
19:39But we call it when it's good. Very good on JJ McCarthy.
19:44Next up. The Eagles. Quarterback. Room. We heard the news.
19:47Jalen Hurts. Out for the rest of the season.
19:50Tanner McKee. 9% rostered. 12 fantasy points. A dud.
19:53We really. There's been a lot more hype. More love for Tanner McKee.
19:58There's a hive out there for him. I will just say.
20:02Cowboys. Commanders. Giants. The next three weeks. That's an opportunity there for him to.
20:06Get right. And. Maybe get some value. Superflex ad.
20:10Not one quarterback. You're not messing with that. And then.
20:13Coltavious Payton. One of our sleepers that we talked about.
20:16In the offseason. 0% rostered. You're not even going to compete with an offer.
20:21I mean. He might be. On a waiver wiring dynasty.
20:25He's absolutely available in your redraft leagues. One quarterback or superflex.
20:29Maybe in deeper superflex redraft. You kind of have him.
20:32If you're kind of up a creek at quarterback.
20:35Hey. If you lost Jalen Hurts. Because most instances.
20:38People have. Tanner McKee. They grabbed him. And you have Hurts.
20:42Now you're hurt. For your roster. I would just say.
20:46Play style. Is like McDowell's. Like coming to America.
20:49McDowell's version. You don't got to explain what that reference is from to me.
20:54Not to you. It's to the people. Some of the viewers.
20:57McDowell's Josh Allen. And. Just watch him throw to Bryce Lance.
21:01And a little bit of highlights. And you'll kind of understand.
21:05Very raw. I don't expect him to hit the field.
21:08But if this is going to be a long season.
21:12You know. No more Jalen Hurts. Kind of like the.
21:15J.J. McCarthy corollary. There's going to be some spot.
21:18Circle of wagons. Where Cole Payton. Especially with Andy Dalton.
21:22Not. Matriculating back. There's going to be opportunity there.
21:25So Shev. Finish us off. With. Tight ends. Whoa.
21:28Whoa. Whoa. I'll finish. It all. Now. Tommy Trimble.
21:31We talked about being directionally correct. Correct at the beginning of the show.
21:36We recommended Darren Waller. As. As one of our.
21:39Favorite tight end plays. And a streamer. Now he didn't catch a single pass.
21:44And Tommy Trimble played 68% of the snaps. So.
21:47I'm going to recommend. I'm going to go out there and recommend Tommy Trimble.
21:52If you're missing. If you're missing one of the premier tight ends.
21:56It's going to be on by this week. Actually there aren't.
22:00I mean. Dalton Kincaid is the only tight end here.
22:03That I would really be concerned about. Maybe Brenton Strange.
22:07But you weren't starting Brenton Strange. In a non-tight end premium league.
22:11Most likely. Unless you just completely missed. And decided to stream the position.
22:15So. Tommy Trimble is a guy that you could stream this week.
22:19If you're hurting at the position. If you. If you suffered some unlucky injury of some sort.
22:25Or just. Like I said. If you've committed to stream the position.
22:30And. Then we move on. Pretty quickly. To. Michael Mayer.
22:33Last. So there's. We sandwiched. So you've got. A game with 10 targets.
22:37Then one target. Then nine targets. This past week.
22:41And at least seven receptions. In two of those last three games.
22:45So. If I'm streaming the position. That's the guy that I'm looking at.
22:49Because they're. Trey Tucker is starting to emerge. As a viable threat.
22:53At the wide receiver position. But. There's still going to be heavy involvement.
22:58This is going to be one of the most heavy.
23:01If not the most heavy. 12 personnel team. In the entire league.
23:06So. Michael Mayer is a guy. That you could stream.
23:09With a certain degree. Of confidence. And certainty. In your lineup.
23:13That he's not going to goose you. And that's.
23:16If you're streaming the position. That's just really. What you're looking for.
23:20You're not looking for. The Brock Bowers. Upside. This guy catches a touchdown.
23:25You've added a. An artificial ceiling. To your team.
23:28That you just. It's like. Oh. Found money. What is this?
23:32Is that a five dollar bill. On the ground?
23:35Yeah. I'll pick that up. And that's exactly. What Michael Mayer is.
23:39He's a free five dollar bill. That you don't have to think about.
23:43And you can just go. And just stick him in your lineup.
23:47And feel good about it. And then. When Foster Moreau.
23:51He out snapped. He out snapped. Dalton Schultz yesterday.
23:5462% of the snaps. To 40% for Dalton Schultz.
23:57And caught two touchdowns. Actually caught. A practice touchdown.
24:00And then caught a touchdown. After. Like out of the timeouts.
24:04They call timeout. He throws the ball. He catches it with one hand.
24:09Then they run the real play. And he catches it.
24:12Like catches it again with one hand. So it's pretty neat.
24:16Foster Moreau could be sneaky. We're talking about. That Houston Texans passing environment.
24:20Being something. That we absolutely have to get. As many pieces of as possible.
24:25So. In any sort of best ball league. That allows for waiver pickups.
24:30I'm going to pick up Foster Moreau. And just stash him.
24:34If there's any time. If there's any kind of tight end premium.
24:38This is a guy that could. I mean. Just look at it.
24:42I mean. Two receptions. Seven. Seven yards. Not much.
24:45But. The goal line utility is just. Chef's kiss.
