Player analysis
Player insights
Aaron Rodgers
PositiveProjection5:45
Rodgers has shown life over the last two weeks, ranking as the QB3 in fantasy points per game (23.8) during that span. Despite a low completion percentage (57.5%) attributed to drops and poor offensive line play, he has a favorable upcoming schedule against the Colts, Buccaneers, and Saints. Pete Nova suggests a 2-3% FAB bid.
Insight pageAmon-Ra St. Brown
NegativeValue53:20
Amon-Ra St. Brown is considered the best player in a proposed trade, but he has gone slightly stale recently. He is preferred rest-of-season over Nico Collins due to his superior offense, despite Collins' strong return.
Insight pageAntonio Williams
PositiveUsage45:17
Antonio Williams is a recommended add as Terry McLaurin is expected to miss time with a late-week hamstring injury, potentially opening up targets in the Washington offense.
Insight pageBrenton Strange
NegativeValue38:18
Brenton Strange is a better long-term stash than Mike Gesicki, averaging five targets per game. He is a vital part of the offense, though he faces a difficult schedule and a bye week, making him a speculative hold for potential injury-driven upside.
Insight pageBrian Robinson
PositiveValue48:30
Brian Robinson Jr. is a high-quality handcuff who has shown recent production, including a three-touchdown performance. He is a preferred zero-FAAB flyer who could provide standalone value if his usage continues.
Insight pageChris Bell
NegativeValue27:42
Chris Bell remains a hold or speculative add despite recent poor luck, including a called-back touchdown. However, his outlook is clouded by the impending return of Caleb Douglas, which may impact his target share.
Insight pagePositiveUsage51:06
Chris Bell remains a speculative add due to his talent and consistent volume, despite limited fantasy production to date. He is viewed as a player with untapped upside.
Insight pageChris Rodriguez
PositiveValue49:51
Chris Rodriguez is a recommended zero-FAAB handcuff stash who scored a touchdown recently; he is expected to see increased utilization in Jacksonville if an injury occurs to the starter.
Insight pageDarius Cooper
NegativeValue50:10
Darius Cooper is worth a wait-and-see stash in deeper formats while Devonta Smith deals with recurring injury issues, though there is no strong conviction in his immediate fantasy impact.
Insight pageDeshaun Watson
PositiveUsage41:35
Deshaun Watson is a viable honorable mention at quarterback due to his rushing floor, having recorded 31 rushing attempts through four games.
Insight pageJaylen Wright
NegativeValue29:02
Jalen Wright is a drop candidate for Tyreek Hill, but should be held over Will Shipley in long-term formats. He remains in the mix for a strong rest-of-season workload in Miami despite currently working behind Ollie Gordon.
Insight pageJoe Mixon
NegativeValue43:27
Joe Mixon is a speculative add after signing with Seattle's active roster. While his health status remains a question, his move to the active roster suggests his foot injury has responded better than anticipated.
Insight pageJonah Coleman
PositiveBreakout18:24
Coleman is a high-upside stash for managers with patience or an IR spot. Currently on IR with an ankle sprain, he is rostered in only 34% of leagues. Pete Nova advises getting ahead of the market before he returns, as he has the potential to become the team's lead back.
Insight pageKeaton Mitchell
PositiveUsage12:18
Mitchell has worked into the Chargers' lineup, running 31% of routes and earning 10 targets on the season. He is out-snapping and out-targeting Amara Hampton, averaging 12.5 expected fantasy points over the last two weeks compared to Hampton's sub-10 mark. Pete Nova ranks him as the top priority running back, suggesting 10-15% FAB.
Insight pageKendre Miller
NegativeValue23:40
Miller is a speculative add following Travis Etienne's injury, though he did not look explosive in limited opportunities. With Alvin Kamara dealing with a knee injury, Miller could see increased work, but he is not a recommended start against the Vikings. Pete Nova suggests a 2-5% FAB bid.
Insight pageKeon Coleman
PositiveBreakout32:06
Keon Coleman is a recommended add (3-5% FAB) as he has seen the highest value role among Bills wide receivers over the last two weeks. He is showing increased maturity and comfort in Joe Brady's offense, and lingering shoulder issues for DJ Moore could further boost his opportunities.
Insight pageKirk Cousins
PositiveProjection2:08
Cousins has played well despite a lack of elite weapons, tying for the NFL lead with 11 touchdowns. While the upcoming schedule against the Patriots, Bills, and Rams is tough, he is a viable starter in deeper leagues. Pete Nova recommends 5-10% FAB, noting that he is a better long-term play than other waiver options.
Insight pageKyren Williams
PositiveValue53:28
Kyren Williams is preferred over Amon-Ra St. Brown in trade evaluations at this point in the season, representing a significant upgrade to a running back room.
Insight pageMalik Washington
PositiveUsage27:11
Malik Washington is a priority add (5-8% FAB) due to his consistent usage and floor. He has recorded 15 targets over the past two weeks and is preferred over Chris Bell because he is more likely to maintain a weekly floor through designed targets and backfield usage.
Insight pageMichael Mayer
PositiveUsage47:03
Michael Mayer is worth rostering in deeper formats as he continues to produce, averaging six targets per game even with Brock Bowers active. He maintains standalone value due to the lack of other weapons in the Raiders' offense.
Insight pageMichael Penix Jr.
PositiveSleeper8:51
Penix is viewed as a high-upside long-term stash in the Falcons' improved offense. While he is currently averaging 15 fantasy points per game, his value could increase in pass-heavy game scripts. Pete Nova suggests a 1-2% FAB bid, noting he is a cheap bench stash.
Insight pageMike Gesicki
NegativeUsage36:05
Mike Gesicki is a potential one-week fill-in if T. Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase are sidelined, but he is not a priority add due to an upcoming bye week and the likelihood that the Bengals' starters return soon.
Insight pageNico Collins
NegativeValue53:20
Nico Collins is a strong trade target who looked great in his return, though he carries some injury risk. He is viewed as a viable alternative to Amon-Ra St. Brown in trade scenarios.
Insight pageRoman Wilson
PositiveUsage29:54
Roman Wilson is a priority add (5-8% FAB) who has seen six or more targets in every game this season. His chemistry with Aaron Rodgers is evident, and he is the most consistent option in the Steelers' passing attack.
Insight pageTee Higgins
NegativeValue45:57
Tee Higgins is not a priority waiver wire add because he does not warrant spending a significant amount of FAAB.
Insight pageTre Harris
PositiveUsage23:16
Trey Harris is a priority waiver target; he recorded a 73.2% route share and 15.6% target share last week. With teammate Lava Conkey dealing with rib and foot injuries, Harris is positioned for increased opportunity. He is a long-term play with youth and improving usage.
Insight pagePositiveUsage34:57
Harris has become the most targeted Chargers wide receiver over the last two weeks, with a 75.8% snap share and 15.6% target share. He is out-snapping Quinton Johnson and has shown viability with 11.3 fantasy points per game. Pete Nova recommends a 5-10% FAB bid, noting that Lad McConkie's injuries may further solidify Harris's role.
Insight pageTroy Franklin
PositiveBreakout50:39
Troy Franklin is an interesting target as the Broncos may look to him to spark the offense while Pat Bryant is sidelined and Courtland Sutton struggles, despite the team's overall poor performance.
Insight pageTyler Higbee
PositiveUsage34:31
Tyler Higbee is the top tight end priority (0-2% FAB) due to Terrence Ferguson's injury. Higbee leads Rams tight ends with 19 targets and is expected to serve as the third option in a high-powered offense.
Insight pageTyreek Hill
PositiveValue25:16
Tyreek Hill is a speculative add worth 5-10% FAB. Rumored to be signing shortly, he could provide fringe WR2 value if he lands in a situation like Kansas City, where the team is currently dealing with injuries to Rashi Rice and others.
Insight pageWill Shipley
NegativeBust28:26
Pete Nova is not high on Shipley, citing a poor offensive line situation and the potential for the Eagles to bring in veteran help or elevate practice squad players. While he suggests a 3-5% FAB bid, he prefers Kendra Miller at a cheaper price and warns against overspending on Shipley.
Insight pagePositiveUsage29:15
Will Shipley is a viable short-term add if you need immediate production for the upcoming week, though he lacks the long-term upside of Jalen Wright.

Episode Transcript
0:00Week 5 is here. It is the Waiver Wire show with your host Jeremiah Love here on PlayerProfiler.
0:06We have got a ton of names to go over this week.
0:10A couple of players we talked about last week have already hit and we're looking forward to picking up some players in
0:18the future that we think can make a difference on your roster.
0:22What is going on folks? Pete Nova here with PlayerProfiler.
0:25Thank you guys so much for joining me here on this Tuesday morning.
0:30We do these shows bright and early 645 on Tuesday morning to beat the Waiver Wire rush to, you know, make sure
0:37that you guys are getting that content out as soon as possible.
0:41I did drop my Waiver Wire article last night at about 8 o'clock PM and so now we are here live here on PlayerProfiler.
0:49But excited to be back with you guys. Kind of help, you know, the key in the show is really to we
0:57provide a percentage of how much I would spend on players.
1:00But the main thing is the priority of which players I think are most important to look at this week.
1:07Every league is going to be different when it comes to the FAB percentages because, you know, you're going to know which
1:15league you're in if they prioritize certain positions more as well as some leagues have big spenders and some typically don't, right?
1:22So you're just going to have to kind of figure that out in the league that you're in.
1:28But let's kick off today's show with the quarterback position and we're going to start it off here with Kirk Cousins for the Raiders.
1:36Kirk Cousins last week was not a player that I had on my high priority list, but it's hard to deny that Kirk has played really well.
1:46And, you know, when I didn't have Kirk on my list last week as a priority, it was more so because this Raiders schedule was not very good.
1:55They played Casey last week, then they had the Patriots, Bills and Rams.
1:59So it really wasn't like a great stretch of games.
2:03But I mean, Cousins looked great last week. He's got 11 touchdowns, which is tied with Brock Purdy for the most in the NFL right now.
2:12The Raiders offense overall just looks really good. And we have to give it up to Kirk because they quite frankly, aren't
2:19really working with a ton of big weapons, right?
2:22It's it's really the tight ends. Michael Mayer, Brock Bowers, Ashton Gentry.
2:26And then, you know, Trey Tucker on the outside, Jalen Naylor, Jack Bash before he got hurt.
2:32Like it's it's not really much. Maybe they bring in a free agent.
2:36Tyreek Hill is rumored to be signing at some point soon, though.
2:41I think he's probably more likely to go to the Chiefs than the Raiders.
2:45But we shall say. But Kirk Cousins next three games, like I said, Patriots, Bills, Rams.
2:51I'd say five to 10 percent FAB at this point.
2:54I mean, Cousins is a possibility in deeper leagues to be your starter at this point and not just a mix and
3:02match kind of quarterback, not really a streamer. So I think at this point I'm willing to say, hey, if you need
3:09a quarterback badly, you know, I'm willing to spend up on him to 10 percent FAB.
3:14So he's going to be my first priority, though, at the quarterback position and give it up to, you know, Kirk and the Raiders.
3:23I mean, they've just they just played really good football.
3:26And I feel like. It's not that I knew this was coming, but I thought I did have a feeling that Cousins
3:33coming into the year was just going to be better than than people were giving him credit for.
3:40And he's looked really good. So let's move on to the next quarterback, another old man quarterback.
3:45It's going to be Aaron Rodgers for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
3:49Nine point nine percent rostered. Aaron Rodgers is next three games.
3:52He gets the Colts, Buccaneers and the Saints. I would say two to three percent FAB here.
3:58Rogers has come alive the last two weeks here, which has been nice because I have him as my QB three in
4:06a couple of dynasty leagues that I held on to him, even though, you know, I was offered like fourth round picks for him coming into the year.
4:15I did hold on to him and last two weeks he's shown some life over that time.
4:21You know, Rogers is, you know, been quarterback three in fantasy points per game over the last two weeks, averaging twenty three
4:28point eight, which is kind of crazy to say.
4:31I didn't expect Rogers to to be in that kind of positioning over the last couple of weeks.
4:38But, you know, he has and completion percentage isn't great.
4:41He's below league average, which is sixty four point three.
4:44He's at fifty seven point five percent. But a lot of that really has to do with the drops and the cast
4:52around Rogers not really doing and holding up for him.
4:55Still, he's taken 13 sacks in four games like, you know, the offensive line hasn't helped out too much either.
5:02But with all of that said, you know, Rogers has played good the last couple of weeks.
5:08So we'll see if it continues. But I do like the schedule coming up with the Colts, the Bucks and the Saints here on deck.
5:16So I think, you know, I think he is is definitely worth picking up and playing for the next few weeks.
5:23He's not really like the long term play cousins.
5:26I probably trust a little bit more long term this season than him.
5:31But I think the ultimate long term play with probably some more upside is going to be Michael Penix Jr.
5:38Michael Penix Jr. Last night, you know, it wasn't that he, you know, he crushed it against the Saints.
5:44But overall, just the offense has kind of exploded for the Falcons who have a pretty good cast of weapons.
5:51And now you have Kevin Stefanski who's there who, you know, a lot of people projected that the offense would look better because of Kevin Stefanski.
6:00And, you know, so far so good. You know, now that he has an actual quarterback and doesn't have a shelf stocker
6:07from the grocery store playing quarterback in Cooper Rush.
6:10It's it's looked promising for the Falcons offense. The run game looks really good.
6:15The thing about Penix, it's not like he's he's not crushing it from a fantasy points perspective, you know, during this two game one streak that they have.
6:24You know, right now he's averaging 15 points per game for fantasy.
6:29But, you know, you hope in game scripts where they have to throw the football a little bit more that can be
6:36fixed, I guess, is a better a good way to put it.
6:40Their schedule coming up, Ravens, then the Bears, then the 49ers.
6:44I'd say one to two percent FAB here because, you know, I don't necessarily know that people are running to the market
6:51in many leagues to go pick them up against the Ravens next week.
6:56So if you do have the room, you can probably pick them up for pretty cheap to stash on your bench if
7:03you don't want to play them against the Ravens.
7:06So Michael Penix Jr., this offense in general for the Atlanta Falcons, you know, give it up to them a little bit right now.
7:14They they they look good. And honestly, the Saints defense looked terrible last night.
7:19And the Saints, the Saints is kind of like a Jekyll and Hyde right now where you really don't know what you're
7:27getting out of this defense or out of the team.
7:30You know, each week it's like. I don't know, each week it's like a new team pops up and shows up for the Saints.
7:38And it's surely been interesting to watch. Next guy we're going to talk about is at the running back position, and it's going to be Keaton Mitchell.
7:47I got to, you know, hand up. I got to say that, you know, coming into the year, I was not a big fan of Keaton Mitchell.
7:56I thought that there was a lot of hype going around on him.
8:01And while I think he's a talented player, you know, my my main concerns for him was always just, you know, Kenny.
8:08Is he ever going to really hold a workload?
8:11And is he ever going to really matter? Because if Hampton goes down, is Keaton Mitchell really going to be the guy?
8:19A buck 79 hasn't been able to stay healthy.
8:22But, you know, this year has been pretty good for Keaton Mitchell so far.
8:27He's worked his way into the lineup for the Chargers.
8:30And, you know, it's been pretty promising. You know, on the year, he's running 31% of the routes.
8:36You know, he's got 10 targets this season. And this team is a mess.
8:41I get it. But, you know, on waivers, typically the players that you're going to find right now, 80% to 90% of
8:48them are going to be on bad offenses. That's why they're not rostered or they're just players that just get, you know, upgraded due to injuries on teams.
8:58In Keaton Mitchell's case, still only 30.7% rostered. His next three games are Broncos, Chiefs, and then a bye.
9:04So it's not really the best slate of games coming up for Mitchell.
9:09So if you're picking him up, you know, keep that in mind.
9:13But I understand desperation is desperation. And I would probably spend 10% to 15% FAB on Keaton Mitchell right now just because
9:20this is potentially a long-term play for the running back position here.
9:24And like I said, he's still pretty decently available in many leagues right now.
9:29I try to do no more than 40% owned when it comes to these shows and these columns weekly.
9:36So anybody that you hear about today is not going to be more than 40% owned.
9:41But just taking a look at, you know, what the Chargers have done, you know, especially over the last two weeks, you
9:48know, the Amara Hampton experience hasn't been that great.
9:51Keaton Mitchell, 26 routes run. Amara Hampton only 16.
9:55Vidal is running more routes than Amara Hampton. So if you're an Amara Hampton owner, I mean, I don't need to tell
10:02you this, but it's not great right now. Keaton Mitchell, nine targets over the last two weeks.
10:08Hampton, two. Kamani Vidal, six. Expected fantasy points over the last two weeks.
10:12Keaton Mitchell is averaging 12.5. Hampton's not cracking 10 right now.
10:16So this is just a play for an explosive back who has some receiving chops and, you know, is on a team
10:23that at one point we had high hopes for.
10:26I don't know that that's the case anymore at 0-4, but still there are some maybe some weapons and there's some talent
10:34that maybe the offense gets close to average. And if they do and Mitchell is playing in a starting role, you know,
10:41that's decently valuable maybe just based on the fact that he's on waivers.
10:46So I have Mitchell here as my number one priority running back right now, but I would not really push back too
10:53much if you said, you know what, I've got enough mid running backs on my team.
10:59I'm looking for a high upside hold right now, someone I can stash on my bench.
11:04And if that's the case, then to me, you've got to go with Jonah Coleman.
11:09Jonah Coleman is a perfect example of fantasy owners and what we see yearly and weekly of people just making mistakes on
11:17how much fab they drop on players, how high of a waiver priority they drop on players.
11:22I talked about Jonah Coleman when he was on the thumbnail for the show after week one, I want to say, or no, I'm sorry.
11:31It was after week two going to week three.
11:34And I said, look, guys, be careful. I wouldn't blow my load on Jonah Coleman right now.
11:40I do think Coleman has a chance to be the starter or at least the lead back on the ground at some point this year.
11:48But it's going to take some time and, you know, Harvey and Dobbins are healthy.
11:53And if that's the case, like they're going to get the looks, you know, at least for the majority of the early portion of the season.
12:02And, you know, what happened? Right. It didn't happen that way exactly.
12:06But Coleman ended up popping up with an ankle sprain, which is why I tell people that you should have your waivers run through on Wednesday nights.
12:15But it's a battle that I continue to fight and only so many people listen.
12:20But Jonah Coleman pops up on the injury report.
12:24He goes on IR. And now he's back down to 34 percent rostered.
12:28So, you know, people drop their load on a player and then they and then they they have no patience.
12:35And so they drop up because this is a terrible year for injuries already.
12:39And the thing is, the reason Coleman was widely available in that waiver wire period was because people didn't like the usage after week one.
12:48And they dropped him and he was not like a he was like a top 150 drafted player.
12:54So, you know, he was like your third to last in many leagues drafted player in a 12 man or more.
13:01So just an example of people just not having patience for for players.
13:06And now it's providing an opportunity. There's going to be a lot of people that are going to tell me tell you
13:13will ship Lee go out and get him. He's the number one waiver priority right now.
13:18And I don't even I don't even have him in my top three.
13:23I think Coleman is the move right now. People are going to clamor to go pick him up after this next week
13:30because he'll be one week away from coming back potentially off of IR.
13:35And if all goes well, and I'm just saying go get ahead of it.
13:40Right. Don't have don't spend up to go get him right now.
13:44Now, if you have the space or you have an IR spot and someone dropped him because they don't have any IR
13:51spots left, like go pick him up early. You know, that that that would be the route that I would be going.
13:59You know, that I think. You know, I think fantasy can be an easy game sometimes if you can if you can get ahead of certain things.
14:08That's the route that I'm going. That's that's that's my plan for fantasy is trying to get ahead of it.
14:14So I don't have to to to spend up on a player as much as possible.
14:20Now, the next guy we're talking about, it's not the most sexy player to go pick up, but it's going to be
14:27Kendra Miller for me running back for the Saints.
14:30You know, Kendra Miller. Very unfortunate career path for him so far.
14:35Right. He gets he gets kind of put in the doghouse, you know, by the by the Saints, Dennis Allen.
14:41And, you know, you look at like what he's done this year so far, pulling up the game log right now.
14:48You know, from a fantasy perspective, I mean, it was a healthy scratch in week two when when Alvin Kamara came back
14:56week three only had four carries, but he had three targets, two catches, 19 yards.
15:01And now Travis Etienne is though is out. And so that's important to me.
15:06Travis Etienne is going to miss at least four.
15:09Well, three more weeks and Alvin Kamara looked good last night, guys.
15:13So I'm not going to I'm not going to sit here and try to try to act like that didn't happen.
15:20Alvin Kamara was one of the waiver wire pickups that we had.
15:24And people laughed at me like two weeks ago when I said, look, I would add Alvin Kamara.
15:30Look at the usage in the receiving game. This is after week two.
15:35And I said, guys, like he's he's he's being utilized right now.
15:39Go pick him up. Of course, two touchdowns last night.
15:42No Travis Etienne is he's he's being used in the receiving game.
15:46The tricky thing with Alvin Kamara is he pulled up lame last night with a knee injury, did come back into the game.
15:54But he he's dealing now with some sort of knee injury and they are a little bit limited at the running back position.
16:02I would not surprise me if they try if they they go to more of a 50 50 split because they want
16:09him to last full season and they don't have Travis Etienne.
16:13And this running game does need to get better.
16:16Kendra Miller did not look explosive or, you know, great last night either when he was given those opportunities.
16:22But I think Kendra Miller is still somebody that is worth picking up in the event that he does continue to get more opportunities.
16:31And, you know, Alvin Kamara, you know, maybe potentially misses some time.
16:35I don't think that happens, but we shall see.
16:38Kendra Miller, 12.3 percent rostered next three games, Vikings, Giants, Steelers.
16:41So you're not really starting him against the Vikings, of course.
16:45But, you know, maybe you end up getting a chance to start him against a poor Giants defense.
16:51I'd say two to five percent FAB here. So running backs, not great for the waiver wire this week.
16:58I mean, I think you can kind of tell already by that.
17:02Then for the next player, it is going to be Will Shipley.
17:06I'm not really a big fan of dropping much on Will Shipley here, guys.
17:11Will Shipley running back for the Eagles now. And I think, you know, overall, Will Shipley is not going to have like
17:18this really, really large role where he's getting a bell cow work.
17:22He's not even one percent rostered across fantasy formats.
17:25He gets the Jaguars, Panthers and the Cowboys the next three games.
17:29So some favorability in the schedule coming up. I'd say three to five percent FAB on him.
17:35I'd spend a little bit more on him than I would Kendra Miller.
17:39But that's just because I think you're going to have to if you want to go get him.
17:46But I do prefer Kendra over Will Shipley just at a cheaper price.
17:50And, you know, just just overall, I think Shipley has a chance to probably have a bigger workload the next couple of weeks.
17:58But Saquon Barker is also week to week right now, which is why I'm not really spending too much on Will Shipley.
18:05You know, Saquon is week to week. You know, I'd say he probably misses two, two weeks with this hamstring injury.
18:12But now Tank Figsby is down. So he's out.
18:15But there's also a chance that the Eagles bring in another player.
18:19I mean, it's possible they bring in it via trade, maybe a James Conner.
18:24And you also factor in Damian Pierce and Carson Steele and Jaden Blue are all three players that are on the practice squad that could get elevated here.
18:34That will get elevated. You know, I don't know if all three will, but two of them probably if they don't bring anybody else in.
18:42And so I'm just not really rushing to the waiver wire to go pick up Will Shipley right now.
18:49It's there's going to be people that are going to drop a ton of money on him, ton of fab.
18:55I'm just not really one of those people right now that wants to go out and do that.
19:02It's just it's it's a poor it's an offense.
19:05It's in a poor spot right now. Lane Johnson could be out for the foreseeable future, if not retiring, which is a massive blow.
19:13Obviously, Landon Dickerson isn't playing right now either. Cam Juergens is terrible.
19:17I mean, the offensive line is in a really, really tough spot right now.
19:22So I'm not I'm not super excited to go pick up Will Shipley at the moment.
19:27But before we continue, we're going to take a quick break and we'll hear from the pod father and we'll come right back.
19:35You know, I get asked is AI ruining fantasy sports?
19:38And the answer is absolutely not. We've had consensus rankings available for a long time, but people subscribe to the player rankings
19:46at playerprofiler.com for super flex tight end premium best ball, even offensive line rankings.
19:50Of course, your rookie rankings, your dynasty rankings are all available in the ranking service for playerprofiler.com password protected.
19:57So the bots can't get to it and you can maintain your edge and use code pod father for five dollars off.
20:04Woo. It's a good deal. All right, folks, we are back here.
20:08And I do want to say if you guys do enjoy the show, please give me a thumbs up.
20:15Helps us out tremendously. Helps us push out some more people for the algorithm on here on YouTube.
20:21If you guys do enjoy the content, do enjoy the show.
20:25If you have any questions, let me know. I do see one here from Scott.
20:30So how much fab would you put on on the top of guys?
20:34Yeah, I guess it just really depends, Scott, in terms of your league.
20:39If you have some questions on what players that you're targeting, I'd be happy to answer some of those.
20:45If you guys have any other questions, make sure you just drop them in and I'll answer them as we go along here.
20:53But next guy we're going to talk about here is Trey Harris.
20:57Trey Harris was a player that was I think he was number one priority for wide receiver for me last week.
21:04If not at worst, he was number two. And Trey Harris.
21:08You know, I don't miss year two wide receiver second round pick.
21:12And people will say, oh, draft capitalism matter. Or who cares about draft capital?
21:17Well, I care about draft capital. I think there is a place where draft capital still matters in football and for fantasy.
21:24It's not the end all be all for certain things.
21:27But I'll go process over results every time. And the process to me says, hey, second round pick on a struggling team
21:35right now that, you know, needs to get a spark.
21:38And is having issues with pass catchers. Yeah, I'm going to lean into the fact that there's a chance they might start
21:46giving him more opportunities, you know, and more work.
21:49And we're kind of seeing it happen and play out in real time here.
21:54For Trey Harris, next three games, Broncos, Chiefs, and a bye.
21:57Five to ten percent FAB for him. But Harris was the most targeted charge wide receiver over the last two weeks.
22:04So, you know, he has been, you know, he's been looked at.
22:09He's been utilized over the last two weeks. And, you know, Quinton Johnson sits behind him at eight.
22:15Snap share for Trey Harris is now sitting at 75.8%.
22:18Now, it does matter that, you know, Lab McConkie, you know, has been banged up.
22:23But, you know, last week alone, Trey Harris out snapped Quinton Johnson 89% to 76%, which I said last week that I
22:31thought we were seeing a role shift potentially here because this is a charter's offense that doesn't have the ability to sit around and wait.
22:39They need to see what they have in players and give guys a chance.
22:44And Quinton Johnson continuing to let them down while Trey Harris has looked solid in, you know, small opportunity.
22:50It just makes a lot of sense that Trey Harris could become somewhat of a viable option for fantasy.
22:57You know, 11.3 fantasy points per game over the last two weeks.
23:01So that means, you know, statistically, the usage has been there for fantasy success.
23:06You know, this past week, he had five targets.
23:09So, you know, the targets are going up. I mean, the next closest receiver was Quinton Johnson, which is two targets.
23:16And with Harris, he caught three passes for 60 yards.
23:19This past week, you know, route share sat 73.2%.
23:2215.6% target share. Of course, you'd like that to go up a little bit.
23:27But the key here is Lava Conkey's banged up right now.
23:31And there's a chance that I would say Lad's going to be banged up for the next couple weeks.
23:37He's got the rib injury. He's got the foot injury.
23:41He's going to be banged up, you know, unless he misses a week.
23:45Like, he's probably not just going to magically get better unless they want to ride him out to the bye week, right?
23:52Which is coming up, you know, after Broncos Chiefs, they have a bye.
23:57So, right now, Trey Harris is the guy that I think you should be targeting.
24:02You know, it's not the best matchup against the Broncos this week, but the Broncos are missing Patrick Sertan and Riley Moss.
24:09So, they're going to be down some corners, which could open up a little bit of a better opportunity for Harris, though
24:17I'm not super excited to start him. The Chiefs are the following week, which is a little bit better of a play.
24:24But overall, this is a long-term play for Trey Harris, too, in addition.
24:29So, I think Trey Harris is a guy that you need to go out and target on the waiver wire right now.
24:36You know, the fact that he's still only 9.9% rostered is pretty surprising to me.
24:41But, you know, people are going to see, man.
24:44I really, really do think that he is a – you know, you talk about, like, he's a good combination of opportunities
24:52there, talents there, you know, youth is there. So, he's still a young player with opportunity in front of them that's opening up.
25:00And, overall, like, situation is better, usage is getting better.
25:03So, that's the kind of player that I like to target.
25:07We talk about youth. This next guy is not considered a young guy, but he's considered a player that we've seen play at a very elite level.
25:16And not too long ago. And it's Tyreek Hill, 21.5% rostered across fantasy formats.
25:21Next three games, we don't know. He's a free agent right now, so I can't tell you.
25:26But I'd spend up to 5-10% FAB on Tyreek Hill.
25:30You know, I picked him up last week. I had him stashed last week in many such cases.
25:36And if you did in your leagues, you're probably going to get some reward here because Tyree Kill is rumored to be
25:43signing here very shortly per his agent Drew Rosenhouse.
25:46Tyreek Hill, what does he have left? I don't know.
25:50If this guy is 80% left and goes to the Chiefs, you're talking about a fringe wide receiver, too, in my opinion.
25:57Chiefs are banged up right now. Rashi Rice is banged up right now.
26:02They just lost Taequann Thornton, who had a big, big game.
26:05And it's Xavier Worthy. I mean, they need help still there for the Chiefs.
26:10But Mahomes is just doing magic with what he's got.
26:14And so I like Tyree Kill as a speculative ad.
26:17Maybe he goes to the Raiders. That could be a really nice landing spot, too.
26:22There are places that he could benefit. Does he want to go back to KC?
26:27I don't know. It sounds like he does want to go back to KC.
26:32But he may not, right? Maybe he goes to a better situation.
26:36I'm not sure. But I'm willing to spend up on a guy.
26:40The thing is, when we talk about age, it seems like elite players are aging better in the NFL in this era.
26:48And obviously, he's coming off a pretty gruesome injury.
26:51So that doesn't help. But I'm still willing to take the chance and roll the dice on Tyree Kill that he's still
26:58got some left in the tank here. So I'm going to go out and try to pick up Tyreek Hill.
27:05The next guy that we're going to talk about is a little bit more rostered across fantasy formats.
27:11And it's Malik Washington, 36.1% rostered right now. Tyree Kill's ex-teammate, actually, who I guess, in theory, is kind of like the
27:18new Tyree Kill in Miami, just from the quick usage and not a lot of gadgety stuff.
27:24And it's Malik Washington, right? Malik Washington, next three games, gets the Bengals.
27:29Then it's a bye. Then it's the Jets. I'd say 5% to 8% FAB here.
27:34You know, still a decent amount. I'm willing to spend up on him.
27:38Look, I've said Chris Bell is my preferred option in this room.
27:42But after this week, that's kind of changed right now.
27:46The usage for Washington has stayed strong. And he's kind of providing a nice floor with the volume that he's getting.
27:53You know, over the past two weeks, he's got 15 targets.
27:56Chris Bell is the next highest. But when Caleb Douglas comes back, I think Washington has the better chance to continue providing
28:04a good weekly floor due to his usage. You know, in the backfield and design targets.
28:09This is also an offense that's not very good.
28:12So, you know, how many weapons do you really want in an offense that's not good?
28:18I like Chris Bell. But with Douglas coming back soon, I don't know.
28:22I mean, Chris Bell's just had some really poor luck, too.
28:26You know, that's stepping out in the sidelines. He should have had a big touchdown this past week.
28:32It got called back. So, I'm still holding out hope for Chris Bell.
28:36I still think he's somebody that you can go out and pick up.
28:41But that's kind of where I'm at here with this Miami offense.
28:45And that's kind of my lead starting now is just, you know, I'm going to go after Washington.
28:51You know, the guy that I trust that they'll get some cheapy targets to him to get him involved in the offense.
28:58Tyler said, would you drop Jalen Wright for Shipley or Tyree Hill?
29:03I would drop Wright for Hill. I wouldn't drop.
29:06I'm sorry. Yeah, I would drop Wright for Hill.
29:09I wouldn't drop Wright for Shipley, I don't think.
29:12I don't know. I mean, it depends on your situation.
29:15If you're telling me, hey, I need a player to start this week, I would drop Wright for Shipley.
29:22If you don't need it for just this week, then I would prefer Wright over Shipley just for the long-term value.
29:29But I do prefer Tyree Hill over all of them.
29:32And by the way, I do have Wright behind Shipley just because of the potential short-term upside for Shipley versus Wright who
29:40is still kind of working against Ollie Gordon. And, you know, we'll see how that plays out.
29:45But that's kind of how I have things segmented at the moment.
29:49Next guy we're going to talk about is a player that we have been on.
29:54And it's going to be Roman Wilson. Roman Wilson for the Pittsburgh Steelers, still only 4.7% rostered.
30:00I mean, if you listened to our show last week, Roman Wilson and Trey Harris were both priority plays.
30:07And those are both players that people are trying and will be trying to pick up this week.
30:13But they're still only 10% or less owned. And, I mean, those are two guys that I'm very much interested in.
30:20Roman Wilson, Colts, Buccaneers, Saints the next three weeks.
30:23I'm spending 5% to 8% FAB. Roman Wilson has had six or more targets every single week this season.
30:29In week 4, you know, three catches, 60 yards, and a touchdown.
30:34I think it's just evident that his chemistry with Aaron Rodgers is there.
30:38And this Steelers offense has been better lately over the last two weeks.
30:42I'm not saying that they're here to stay. But Rodgers is playing good football.
30:47I mean, don't let people tell you he's not.
30:50If you watch the tape, Rodgers looks good. It's just a matter of DK Metcalf has stones for hands.
30:57And this offensive line is an absolute disaster. I mean, that's just the truth.
31:01And it looks like Michael Pittman's falling out of favor with Aaron Rodgers.
31:06So with that all being said, Roman Wilson has been the consistent guy in this offense.
31:11He's doing what Rodgers asks. He's doing what the offense asks.
31:15He's got a good schedule coming up. I think Roman Wilson's a really, really nice pickup, especially in deeper leagues, deeper formats.
31:22Roman Wilson is somebody that I'm looking to go out and own.
31:26And I did pick him up. Him and Trey Harris were the two biggest pickups I had last week on waivers.
31:34And I think it's going to pay off because, like we said, you're trying to stay ahead of the market when it
31:41comes to free agency, waiver wire, all those kinds of things.
31:45And that's why we try to prioritize who I like most.
31:49And that's why I go through my thought process weekly here to kind of give you guys a better understanding of what
31:56I'm thinking, what I'm seeing, what I'm looking at.
31:59And, yeah, one of the guys I would say was not a high priority, but we had him on the list at
32:06one point this year was Keon Coleman. But we did drop him off because DJ ended up not missing any time.
32:14But Coleman's here on this list today. He's my lowest – well, next highest, I guess, priority because there's going to be some zero FAB and honorable mentions.
32:23But he's the last of the priority list here for wide receiver.
32:277.7% roster for Keon Coleman. Extra games are Rams, Raiders, and then he gets a bye.
32:333-5% FAB. Keon Coleman is expected fantasy points in the game.
32:3611.78 is the highest for his wide receivers over the last two weeks.
32:41He's had the highest value role for the Bills' wide receivers over the last two weeks.
32:46I think right now we're seeing a different Keon Coleman.
32:50This is not the Keon Coleman of years past where he's just a knucklehead or somebody who's not mature enough to, you
32:57know, really play and be effective in the NFL.
33:00And right now we're seeing Coleman with Joe Brady really, really be much more comfortable, much more confident, and just be used differently.
33:08DJ Moore still dealing with a shoulder injury, which I think could linger here.
33:13And with that lingering, you know, it could provide some more opportunities for Keon Coleman here.
33:18So I think that's worth noting, and I think he's still worth picking up.
33:23I think a lot of people are going to have Coleman as the number one pickup for wide receiver.
33:29He's not for me. But if he is for you and you like him, then go get him.
33:35If we're talking about players on this show that you prefer over, you know, somebody else, don't let me stop you.
33:43If you're convicted about a player, go get him.
33:46But for me, Keon Coleman, I think he remains number five in priority.
33:50And I'm going to do a rundown at the end of the show like I did last week because it was requested.
33:57I'll do a rundown at the end of the show to go over, you know, a hot list of each position, which guy that we talked about.
34:07So that way you guys have all of that.
34:10If you want to jump to that at some point during the show, I'll make sure that that's available.
34:16Next, we're going to talk about the tight end position.
34:20Tight end is going to be pretty quick here.
34:23It's not really too great for the tight end position this week.
34:27For me, Tyler Higbee is going to be the number one priority tight end.
34:31He's got a decent schedule here, 2.7% rostered. He gets Bills, Cardinals, and the Raiders.
34:36I'd say 0 to 2% FAB here. I'm not spending up a ton of fab on the tight end position unless it's
34:44a young player or it's a long-term play for a guy that, like, I'm just like, hey, I really like the talent.
34:51I like Tyler Higbee. And the opportunity is opening up for him, right?
34:56Terrence Ferguson, who had 12 targets this season, is set to miss some time for the foreseeable future.
35:02And, you know, Higbee should be the third option behind Puka and behind Devonta Adams in the passing game.
35:08He should be the third option. And this is a good offense.
35:12So, you know, if you're going to be a tight end, you either have to have really, really strong touchdown upside.
35:20You got to be a number two target on the offense or you got to be on an incredibly good offense.
35:27And he is on an incredibly good offense. He leads the Rams tight ends right now with 19 targets this season.
35:34So, he's averaging, you know, about five targets per game, which is good enough, right, for a tight end.
35:40I mean, that's decent usage there. Five touchdowns, five targets.
35:44He's somebody that's been used, you know, in the red zone as well.
35:48So, he's going to be my number one tight end to target this week.
35:53Zach Linton's in the house. What's going on, Zach?
35:56Good to see you, man. He's going to be my number one target this week.
36:01Next guy we're going to talk about is going to be Mike Jacecki.
36:05Mike Jacecki is the famous what's dead will never die.
36:09Mike Jacecki does not die, folks. Mike Jacecki is back on the menu, 10 and 15 this year.
36:15And Mike Jacecki, next three games, Dolphins buys and the Ravens.
36:19He's 10.8% rostered. And, you know, this is a situation that could be, you know, top 12 play this week for Mike Jacecki.
36:26T. Higgins and Jamar Chase are both banged up.
36:29You know, Chase is dealing with a concussion. Higgins is dealing with a groin.
36:34I think both guys probably play because it's just, I don't know.
36:38You know, concussions are such a weird thing now.
36:41We see guys clear in a week and don't miss any time, especially elite guys that don't need a lot of practice.
36:49You know, they clear pretty easily, it feels like, these days, unless it's like multiple concussions in a season.
36:55But we could see a revenge game here for Mike Jacecki.
36:59He gets the Dolphins, you know, his old team here.
37:02And he scored touchdowns in back-to-back weeks for the Bengals.
37:06So, Jacecki is somebody that, you know, I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on if you're really hurting for the position.
37:13And you need like a one-week fill in because he does have a bye next week.
37:18So, you have to keep that in mind. And there's also a possibility that T.
37:23Higgins and Jamar Chase both play this week. If that's the case, he's not going to be inside my top 12.
37:31That's for sure if both those guys play. So, I'm not going and spending a ton of money on Mike Jacecki.
37:38But as you can clearly tell, the tight end position is drying up right now.
37:43And there's not like a ton of talent out there at tight end.
37:47It's just how it is. It's a lot of rotation with the tight end position.
37:52It's a lot of ad dropping because there's not a lot of separation after the elite players.
37:58It's matchup-based. It's who's hot now. I mean, Hunter Henry went through a phenomenal stretch last year.
38:04He was like the top tight end in football for like five, six weeks.
38:09And then he kind of fell off for like a four or five-week span.
38:13So, it's just about riding hot hands with tight ends typically.
38:17Brenton Strange, though, is going to be my next and final tight end here.
38:2233.1% rostered. Next three games, Eagles, Texans, and then a bye for Brenton Strange.
38:27Zero to 1% FAB here. I think if you're looking and saying, I need to tight end this week, I'd rather take the chance on Mike Jizaki.
38:36And Higby would be not even just this week, but the next few weeks.
38:40But Brenton Strange, to me, is a better long-term play than Mike Jizaki.
38:45He doesn't have the best schedule, though, coming up.
38:48I mean, Eagles, Texans are not a great next two matchups, and then he has a bye.
38:54So, this is really more of like, hey, if you have the ability to stash tight end, if you want to stash
39:01tight end, because you're like, hey, my tight end situation sucks right now.
39:06But, you know, maybe you'd like the matchups for your guy that you currently have rostered the next three weeks, but it's tough sledding after.
39:14And you want to have a plan. Brenton Strange could be that plan.
39:18He might not be a guy that goes and gets picked up the next couple weeks, though.
39:24So, you may be able to leave him out there on waivers, but there's a lot of mouths to feed in the offense.
39:32I mean, that's really the biggest thing here, but he's still averaging five targets a game this season.
39:38So, he's getting volume and work in the passing game.
39:42Brenton Strange is a vital part of the offense.
39:45I mean, he blocks very well. He's a good receiver in the passing game.
39:49You're really just hoping, I think, for an injury for him to step up.
39:54But it's very possible. I mean, Brian Thomas Jr.
39:57is already dealing with stuff, you know, this year, I believe.
40:01I could be wrong about that, but I think he did get dinged up early on in the season.
40:07And then it's really Parker and Jacoby. Yeah, maybe Travis Hunter would come over and play more snaps.
40:13But overall, I think Strange would still be the guy that would really step up into that number two target role for the offense.
40:22So, that would be the final player for the priorities.
40:25And then we're going to move on to the honorable mentions.
40:29Before we move on to the honorable mentions, we'll take one more break.
40:33We'll listen to the Podfather. And then we'll come right back.
40:37What does Player Profiler do best? Dynasty. We have the best Dynasty rankings there are.
40:42Oh, they have Titan Premium. Oh, it's Superflex. Oh, but also, win now mode versus rebuild mode.
40:48The most sophisticated best rankings using Player Profiler data that exist in the world are available on playerprofiler.com.
40:54Big surprise! That's right. There's a trade analyzer to know, should I make this trade or not?
41:00And then there's a trade finder. There's Dynasty League Sync.
41:03There's an ADP tracker. All the tools Dynasty League players need.
41:07So, get it now. It's $45, not per month, per year.
41:10So, let's go start building super teams. All right, folks.
41:14We are back here. And we're moving on to the honorable mention list.
41:18This is players that were willing to spend 0% FAB.
41:22We're not going to spend too much time talking through them.
41:25But I am going to give out some players at each position here.
41:30Number one, it's going to be Deshaun Watson for me at the quarterback position.
41:35Look, Deshaun Watson's still not very good, but he's been playing average football and has 31 rushing attempts over the four games this season.
41:43He's got decent weapons attached to the offense as well.
41:46I think you could do worse, but I think Watson's certainly worth taking a look at, especially with the rushing upside.
41:53I mean, 31 rushing attempts through four games is pretty high.
41:57I was kind of surprised when I saw that myself.
42:00Jacoby Brissett, quarterback 18 on the year. Not a great schedule.
42:04Fringe middle quarterback, too, with some spike week due to some weapons.
42:08And then last quarterback is going to be Jameis Winston.
42:12Poor defense could provide some favorable game scripts. Not a ton of upside there, though, with Jameis.
42:17But he would be my final quarterback here on the honorable mentions list.
42:22Jalen Wright for running back still has a chance to be in the mix for a strong rest of season workload in Miami, in my opinion.
42:31I was going to have him in the priority list, but I didn't want to put too many names.
42:37But he is the number one priority for the honorable mentions after the top guys go.
42:42And so I think I know Olly Gordon looked solid last week, but I still think Jalen Wright's got a chance to be involved here.
42:51Emmitt Johnson is going to be my next guy here.
42:54Look, he's looked good in limited opportunities, a very good offense, and scheme gives him a pretty high ceiling if Kenneth Walker goes down.
43:02After that, it's going to be Kalon Black running back for the 49ers.
43:07Same thing as Emmitt Johnson here. These are just two guys that are high in handcuffs that you can pick up in
43:14a majority of leagues right now and just continue to try to rotate and try to get lucky that if there is
43:22an injury, you have the correct guy. Next is going to be Joe Mixon.
43:27Joe Mixon is probably going to be a hot topic, a hot player right now.
43:32He did just sign with Seattle. Jardarin Price is gone for the next three weeks at least.
43:37Zach Charbonnet looks like he's going to probably need a few more weeks in my opinion.
43:43I've seen some images of the quad and the thigh of the knee that had surgery on it and still looks not
43:50ready to go in my opinion, but I'm not a doctor.
43:54But look, Mixon's got a battle. Emmanuel Wilson, who had a solid week this week, he's a nice upside shot that I
44:02don't think you're going to have to pay much for.
44:05And if you do have to pay a lot for Mixon, then I would just probably not worry too much about him.
44:12There is possibility for some good weeks here coming up.
44:16And if he's got anything left in the tank, I think he could be valuable for you.
44:22I mean, the fact that Joe Mixon's coming back is strange to me because Joe Mixon, it sounded like there was –
44:29I don't want to put things out there, but with his foot injury last year, it sounds like it wasn't really –
44:36he injured it doing non-football stuff, let's just say.
44:40And it sounded like, hey, this guy's never going to play football again.
44:44For him to come back, I don't know. It just seems like maybe the foot is better and has responded better than anticipated.
44:52And it wasn't like he got signed to the practice squad.
44:55He got signed to the active roster. So that gives me some hope if you are looking to pick up Joe Mixon.
45:03I think he's a decent chance – decent shot to take.
45:07Next, here at the wide receiver position, the first honorable mention is going to be Antonio Williams.
45:12Jaden Daniels should return this week. He's going to be practicing full to play against the Giants.
45:18And Terry McLaurin popped up late in the week with a hamstring injury, so I'm expecting him to miss this week.
45:25When you get a late-week hamstring injury, it means it happened in practice.
45:30It wasn't lingering from the game prior. And at his age, I don't know.
45:34I mean, he's a guy that maybe guts it out, but I think that they have good enough weapons that they can
45:42probably go into this game without him and feel comfortable.
45:45So I think Antonio Williams is a good shot to take.
45:49Dante Myers, Jamar Chase suffered the concussion, obviously. Myers, I think, would be a pretty decent flex option if he can't clear in time.
45:57Same with T. Higgins for the Bengals. But I'm not going to go spending a ton of FAB, which is why he's not on the priority for me.
46:07But Myers is still a good chance to take on a player that's going to be in a really good offense for the Bengals.
46:15And they're going to need guys to step up.
46:18And Joe Burrow has a tendency to be able to elevate players in his offense, even if it's not the best players, when there are injuries.
46:27We saw Yoshibas. We saw Mike Jizeki. We've seen other guys step up and do it when there's been an absence.
46:34So Myers is certainly an interesting play in deeper formats.
46:37Isaiah Williams is next here, wide receiver for the Jets.
46:41He's been playing very good football for the Jets.
46:44A.D. Mitchell is still sidelined with a finger injury.
46:47If A.D. misses time this week, Williams is worth adding if you need depth in deeper formats.
46:53I'm not saying Williams is going to be a guy that's a must-start every week, especially when A.D.
46:59comes back. But he's been involved in the offense, and he's looked pretty good.
47:03He's done a good job for them. Lastly, we're going to talk about the tight end position, and it's going to be Michael Mayer.
47:12We continue to talk about Michael Mayer all season long, and he continues to produce.
47:17I mean, even with Brock Bowers back, Michael Mayer is averaging six targets a game since his return.
47:23Even with Brock Bowers back, who is getting a ton of targets, mind you, since he's been back, Michael Mayer is still averaging six targets per game.
47:32And this is kind of what we expected coming into the year when we talked about Michael Mayer.
47:38We said this guy could have standalone value even if Brock Bowers is balling out because they don't have many weapons there.
47:45And we're seeing that play in real time. So Mayer is certainly worth rostering in deeper formats.
47:51If you don't want to start him, I totally, totally get that.
47:55But he's still worth rostering in deep formats where tight end is very shallow.
48:00And, you know, if you want the potential that he gets thrusted into an even bigger role if Bowers does get hurt,
48:08and he might have some, you know, matchup weekly upside there too if you're really bad at the tight end position and
48:15you want to take a chance on him. Lastly, we're going to talk about the 0FAB Flyers.
48:21These are just players that I'm willing to just, you know, I'm not willing to spend any money on, but I'm willing to go out and pick up.
48:30Brian Robinson Jr. was one of them. He probably needs to move back up into the honorable mentions.
48:36I'd probably put him right behind Kalon Black again.
48:39So I'm probably adjusting that in real time. Brian Robinson Jr.
48:43had three touchdowns last night against the Saints. And we've talked about Brian Robinson Jr.
48:48on the show. Still a very, very good handcuff.
48:51He is what we hoped Tank Bigsby would be for the Eagles if Saquon Barkley went down.
48:57That offense of line is a mess now, and Tank Bigsby didn't even get a chance because Saquon went down and Tank Bigsby went down as well.
49:06But Brian Robinson Jr. in an offense that has shown some fire these last two weeks, and he is getting work.
49:13I don't know how else to put it. I mean, it's hard to say I would start him stand alone if Bichon
49:21is healthy, but we'll see how the usage continues here.
49:24And if he continues to get stand-alone work, especially goal line work where you're scoring touchdowns, you know, that could be useful.
49:32Mike Washington Jr., though, is going to be the first, I guess, technically.
49:36Zero FAAB flyer. Mike Washington Jr., just a good handcuff here.
49:40And offense is playing good, you know, that I prefer.
49:43But out of all the handcuffs, he is kind of not last because Chris Rodriguez is next here on this list, and
49:51he's technically last for the running backs. But it's just kind of sorted on how I prefer my handcuffs right now this year.
49:59Chris Rodriguez is number two. He scored a touchdown this past week.
50:03Rodriguez, really good offense. If there is an injury, I expect him to lean on him and utilize him in Jacksonville.
50:10So, Darius Cooper for the wide receiver position. Darius Cooper's made some fun plays for the Eagles this season.
50:16Devonta Smith missed last week, and he could miss more time.
50:20I mean, this is not – Devonta popped up on the injury report with a hamstring in camp.
50:26He missed some time. Now he's dealing with something again.
50:29I'm not in love with adding Cooper, but I think he's definitely worth stashing as a wait-and-see here.
50:35So, I think he's definitely worth taking a look.
50:39Troy Franklin, wide receiver for the Denver Broncos. Pat Bryant's going to miss the next couple weeks here.
50:45And Cortland Sutton has just not been very good this year.
50:48Knicks has struggled and may look to go to his old college teammate to get himself going in the coming weeks, in my opinion.
50:57So, I think Franklin's an interesting target, though this Denver offense has looked really poor.
51:02Maybe we get a bounce back. Last two guys here, Chris Bell.
51:06Chris Bell for Miami is going to be the guy.
51:09I know. Chris Bell back on the list. Maybe one day Chris Bell is going to hit for us.
51:16But he did have a touchdown that got called back last week.
51:20And he has been getting volume. And I still think there's an upside there because he's a talented player.
51:26One day you're going to see me come back on the show and you're going to say, I told you Chris Bell.
51:34Even though I told you Chris Bell for like seven weeks.
51:37But a clock, a broken clock is right at least twice in a day, right?
51:42And then the last guy, apologize, running back position I didn't mention.
51:46This is actually the last player. And it's Damian Pierce.
51:50Damian Pierce could get a call up for the Eagles.
51:53You know, while everybody's kind of dropping a ton of fab on Will Shipley, I think Damian Pierce is somebody I'd rather
52:01take my chances on for free than to spend a high priority waiver wire ad with Will Shipley or spend a lot of fab on him.
52:09You could even maybe go the Ralph Carson Steele as well.
52:13He's there and available with the Eagles. I'm going to try to take a chance on one of those guys over, you
52:21know, spending up for a guy like Will Shipley at the running back position for the Eagles.
52:26But that's going to do it for us. Let me go take a quick rundown here and check the comments before we get out of here.
52:35But I'll do a quick rundown for each position because I was asked to do this.
52:41For the high priority quarterbacks, it's Kirk Cousins, it's Aaron Rodgers, then it's Michael Penix.
52:46For the running back position, it's Keaton Mitchell, then it's Jonah Coleman, then it's Kendra Miller, then it's Will Shipley.
52:53For the wide receiver position, we have Trey Harris, number one priority, then Tyreek Hill, then Malik Washington, then Roland Wilson, and finally Keon Coleman.
53:01And then at the tight end position, Tyler Higbee, Mike Giacie, Brenton Strange.
53:05But that's really going to do for us a ham roll.
53:09I see a question here. I'll get it, and then we'll get out of here.
53:14Should I trade? I'm on Ross St. Brown and Amara in Hampton for Brees Hall, Nico Collins, and Kyron Williams.
53:21Well, I mean, you're realistically – I'd rather Kyron Williams over Amara in Hampton at this point in the year.
53:28So you're getting a nice upgrade there. You're getting Brees Hall added and thrown in on top.
53:34If you're willing to take the chance with the injury, you know, history of Nico, who's already dealt with something this year,
53:41and Brees Hall is doing something now, I would take the Nico side.
53:46I love St. Brown. I think he's the best player here, but Nico looked great in his return.
53:52St. Brown's kind of gone stale a little bit the last two weeks, but I'm not worried that St.
53:58Brown's not going to play well. But overall, this is a nice upgrade to the running back room, and I don't think
54:06it's much of a drop-off, if any, from St.
54:09Brown to Nico outside of – I'd prefer St.
54:12Brown rest of season just because, you know, Nico's already dealing with some injury issues, and St.
54:17Brown's in a much better offense. But that is going to do it for us, folks.
