0:00Welcome back to the Redraft Show brought to you by the FFD Fantasy and the FFD Fantasy and today you know what
0:08time it is watching this it's because you have been absolutely wrecked either by the mini bi-pocalypse with the Lions, Kings, Vikings
0:17and Dolphins on by this week or you just need someone to replace the sadness that has been left in your heart
0:25by guys like Amarion Hampton or you know the Travion Henderson's who appear to miss some time or maybe you know maybe you draft Brian Thomas Jr.
0:36again even though I told you to draft Parker Washington and now you're just looking you just you're ready to call it
0:44over because Josh Cameron's getting snaps over him but that's not what we're here to do today we're here to get into
0:52the waivers but first before we do that Jeremiah is going to give you our best calls that we're going to toot
1:01our own horn a little bit from week five so take the floor away coach.
1:06Shav man the vibes today are like you win your home leagues and life is better vibes so LFG baby CJ Stroud
1:1546% roster big hit for us didn't don't look now but he might be back to the point where he could give
1:23us advice back back James Winston 12% rostered versus Saints this one's most satisfying and Shav you were at the forefront of
1:32this one we got the peak James experience in week five but with the safety rails of interception removed removed by way
1:40of penalty we got no food we got no jobs our pets heads are falling off except James Winston is scoring points
1:49for us 33 of 54 326 yards three touchdowns versus the commanders and just one fumble lost you love to see it
1:57the European mind cannot comprehend Shav how James Winston can be an absolute stunner of a streamer the supporting cast players can
2:05be beneficiaries and the defense could be a streamer that you want to attack all in one so you love it to
2:14see it great call there Darius Cooper want to call him Darius cooler because he is ice cold for the Philadelphia Eagles
2:22if you got up for that early London game Sunday morning two receptions three targets 71 yards one touchdown wide receiver 17
2:31on the week we shall see if Devonta Smith is going to come back we're hearing there's some optimism out there for him.
2:39That would be huge for Jalen hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Noel 6% roster y'all should have listened wide receiver 16
2:48on the week 5 5 for 41 and a touchdown so 5 of 5 receiving Fton Chisholm said F them picks 80%
2:56snaps Fton Chisholm make a chisholm wide receiver 30 so you love to see it Kendry Miller 31% snaps 10 rush for
3:0530 and a rushing touchdown RB 26 on the week so there could be worse options at least Kendry Miller is on
3:13your bench Shev tell us about the running back waiver wire ads kick us off moving from our best hits of the
3:21week moving on from Rism with the Chisholm on to the running backs here we're going with Keaton Mitchell so you got
3:30to check your waiver wire for Keaton Mitchell he was one of he's been a popular ad we mentioned him the week
3:38before then last week we didn't mention him but now we're going to mention him again now that he's high enough rostered
3:47to wear just hey repetitive redundancy you got to get it down so 57% rostered to wear just a full blown committee
3:55and we're going to talk about that as time goes on now the must add of the week that we're going to
4:03talk about here Damian Pierce of the Philadelphia Eagles of Pennsylvania now they're taking on the Carolina Panthers who have been pretty
4:12bad against opposing running backs remember what DeAndre Swift did I mean obviously Jameer Gibbs is Jameer Gibbs but point being it's
4:20just Damian Pierce right now Will Shipley's out multiple weeks with a torn plantar fascia I don't know that Saquon Barkley has
4:29recovered from the tenderness in his hamstrings keep an eye on Jamal Williams as he's working back like he's working out for
4:37teams but I don't know it might be time for him to go home and be an anime man I don't know
4:45we'll see Raheem Sanders injury Dylan Sampson getting close to coming off of IR that's just something to keep your eyes on
4:54Quinn Sean Jenkins was seen in a walking boot after the after the game on Sunday so just stay with me here
5:02focus focus focus eyes you need someone from this backfield and if my the prayers would be answered if it's Dylan Sampson
5:11if you could just get a couple weeks of utility where it's Dylan Sampson getting about 65% of snaps we're locking in
5:19top 20 RB production because he has the type of juice that you need he's he's basically the Todd the perfect Todd
5:27Munkin back that you've never seen he's what you wanted from Justice Hill all those years in Baltimore now you can fantasy
5:36receipts me but also keep an eye out for Jaleel McLaughlin McLaughlin in the event that Raheem Sanders who had a hip
5:44injury during the game he left with a hip injury and Quinn Sean Judkins both are no longer available to us and
5:53then we did mention Kendra Miller I mean 31% of the snaps but at one point or another against that just crazy
6:01good Vikings defense he had the majority of the snaps over him and CJ Donaldson also someone to be mentioned here that
6:09we didn't mention earlier but he needs to be they all need to be rostered and we need to let this shake
6:18out because it's just not it just hasn't I don't know we got to figure something out there but they're taking on
6:26the Giants this week and I feel like that's going to be a great opportunity for another explosive explosive type of back
6:35like Kendra Miller but also if there's going to be a lot of scoring and they get like somehow Chris Alaba gets
6:43dragged down inside the five they're going to use CJ Donaldson to just keep that in mind so that being said let's
6:51move on to the stashes I know you've got a couple stashes for us Jeremiah shoot on mustache I'm so excited because
7:00in my home league I was you know up a creek with my running backs no breeze hall Jadarian price had gotten
7:08hurt it was just really a tough scene right well I go and I pick up Kamani Vidal which based on our
7:17advice last week we were talking about a amongst Hampton and Keaton Mitchell Kamani Vidal of those three that's one elite running
7:25back if you pack all their numbers together problem is it's been 30 to 40% chopped up a snap share well Kamani
7:33Vidal well 6% rostered gets the Chiefs next week 42% snap share outpaced O'Mearian Hampton who was at 32% had a 42
7:42yard touchdown run so he was 8 rushes 57 yards and a touchdown back to back weeks for Vidal 11.6 and 12.6
7:50fantasy points so they're scuttlebutt about where he is on the depth chart there's some murmurings on X the last two weeks
7:59about how Mike McDaniels views O'Mearian Hampton granted who's in charge right now may not be who's in charge tomorrow but for
8:07the here and the right now you want to get yourself some Kamani Vidal if you're desperate you want 10 points you
8:16might have the opportunity hey I got to fill something in versus what's been had with all the injuries right next up Samaj P.
8:25Ryan Chase Brown not delivering like we want on that one two turn pick value I saw a chart today about every
8:33pick and what their value is and let's just say there's not a lot of green towards Chase Brown but that could
8:41change but in the meantime Samaj P. Ryan 51% snaps you got to pay attention to that 14 attempts per 68 rushing
8:50yards and he had a receiving touchdown so remember preseason we were talking about maybe Tosh Brooks could Samaj P.
8:58Ryan be dust we have to adjust our priors Samaj P.
9:02Ryan's the guy you want paired with Chase Brown Roshan Johnson 39% snaps with Monongai out 5 for 5 and 34 receiving
9:10good quality running back the way the Bears deploy their running backs it wasn't a game flow specific that benefited him because
9:19they fell behind so much the Green Bay Packers but in game flows where it will work right Ben Johnson you better
9:27believe he's going to have the one two punch swift Monongai role and in that case it's going to be Roshan Johnson
9:35so go pick him up you know like Harry and Lloyd and Dumb and Dumber pick him up Corey Kiner with the
9:44New England Patriots 20% snaps six carries 52 rushing yards we had the injury to Travion Henderson it's not looking good right
9:52now for Mondre Stevenson of course we'll get the veterans deference but again just a name to monitor somebody to pick up
10:01we're trying to turn every other rock over we told you monitor Jamal Williams workout status that's where we're at monitor Dylan
10:09Sampson's recovery from the IR these are all things you have to be on the periphery we're going into secondary third tertiary
10:17whatever the term is for these running backs it happens wide receiver chef tell us who we need to get on waivers
10:26oh baby I almost got ahead of myself because I got too excited about some stuff but the first thing we're going
10:34to do is we're going to check waivers for Dontavian Wicks Drop Tavian Wicks missed a massive opportunity for a walk-in touchdown
10:43would have put him well over 100 yards on the day but he finishes with eight targets five catches 63 yards 84%
10:51of the snaps taking on the Carolina Panthers in week six with no JC Horn no Mike Jackson they've just they just
10:59don't have the power just can't do it captain they don't have the powder so the secondary is not going to have
11:08the power to stop Jalen Hurts and maybe if Devonta Smith comes back and he goes back Dontavian Wicks Drop Tavian goes
11:16back into a secondary role we're talking about the backup to a backup to a backup corner taking on Devonta Smith and Mr.
11:25Drop Tavian Dontavian Wicks so that's where I want you to start okay 50 over 50% roster for Dontavian Wicks so against
11:33the Panthers with four teams on by that I mentioned at the top of the show we need to have we need
11:42to have him on our radars even in shallower leagues for this week okay our must add Jalen Noel we just talked
11:50about okay 45% of the snaps he gets to be truly in the slot role I saw and I saw something earlier
11:59where it said that the Texans traded for traded for Marv so he could be the true X receiver which means they're
12:07going to move Nico to the Z receiver and I'm sure we'll talk about this more on the Heroes and Zeros episode
12:15this week but then that means that they still need a slot receiver and it appears that Jalen Noel who also returns
12:24kicks is going to fulfill that role respect to Xavier Hutchinson that was a almost fun thing that potentially happened a little
12:32bit but again 45% of snaps five five targets five catches 41 yards and a touchdown here's the one that I'm most
12:41excited about here coach Jeremy Bernard no Roman Wilson no Michael Pittman Aaron Rodgers took him into the ayahuasca den and quizzed
12:49him on all of the on all of the assignments and how the Colts like to play coverage he passed with flying
12:57colors and that led to a 93% snap share six for 80 Roman Wilson again is going to be out multiple weeks
13:06we gave you Roman Wilson who had had six targets in every single game now it's going to be Jeremy Bernard operating
13:14with Pat Frymuth and DK at the forefront of the offense no longer just a body and then Efton Chisholm Efton Chisholm
13:23Rhythm with the Chisholm 80% of the snaps five receptions six targets 57 yards this past week look I love Kyle Williams
13:31for some reason for some reason for some reason even though he went three for 91 three for three 91 in the
13:39touchdown Efton Chisholm played 80% of the snaps Kyle Williams only played 36% of the snaps just keep that in mind this
13:48is a real thing that's happening we've gotten rizzed with the Chiz so just just keep that just stick that in your
13:56back pocket and smoke it or whatever anyway Kendrick Bourne it's a must add 12 fantasy points in week 5 49% snap
14:05share 8 targets 5 catches for 70 yards it's cheap and easy points for a team that's going to spend a lot
14:13of time in garbage time think Alan Hearns back in the day for the Jacksonville Jaguars just just think about that so
14:22give us our stashes at the wide receiver position that we're stashing post waivers or they're just low rostered and you can
14:30get them after the waiver run occurs again it's going to be Darius Cooler Darius Cooper of the Philadelphia Eagles 85% snaps
14:38271-1 and he's going to go up against the Carolina Panthers you'll love to see it and I imagine he'll be attainable
14:47too with the bullishness of Devonta Smith coming back so just another player that you can go and add the Mario Douglas
14:55New England Patriots 49% snaps or for 65 and 2 gets the Jets in week 6 another week with AJ Brown out
15:04and the next we said this last week about Drake May that the next 6 weeks are just a delightful schedule for
15:12the Patriots well it's a delightful schedule for the next 5 weeks and now the Jets are up for the New England
15:20Patriots and Drake May maybe a little bit healthier everything looks incredible QN Kyle Williams as you were saying Shev 36% on
15:29the snap share 3 for 3 and 91 connected greatly on that touchdown gets the Jets in week 6 so again you're
15:37targeting the Jets you do a lot worse than the upside shorty of your wide receiver 3 that you're trying to pick
15:46up and you're in peril for these bye weeks where you're trying to take care of the fact that there are some
15:54teams on buys I'll go into the streamers again Jameis Winston 12% rostered versus Saints you live by the experience you die
16:02by the experience you know what you're getting into crush against the commanders you love to see it Aaron Rodgers 2 37%
16:11rostered gets the Buccaneers 3 straight top 10 performances with 3 touchdowns and at least 235 passing yards and 34 attempts average
16:19and that combo of he and Jalen Warren and then as Shev had really looking at a beautiful stack of Aaron Rodgers
16:28and Jeremy Bernard this week now next one Tyler Huntley if there's no Lamar versus the Browns oddly enough a little inside
16:36baseball the Browns would be a good streaming option defensively versus him and he'd also be a good streaming option because of
16:44that rushing upside so funny enough both can get there but if Lamar is in fact playing it's no Huntley so monitor
16:53that just understand that's probably like a secondary waiver wire run in super flex leagues you're going to have to put a
17:01bit in for Huntley if he's not already scooped up CJ Stroud in London versus Jaguars you love to see it and
17:10Shev why don't you tell us about the tight end position well listen guy there's usually not a whole lot to discuss
17:18here but this is a thick waiver wire run just a streaming thickness that has to do with the tight end position
17:26this week so we're going to check our waivers for Dallas Goddard 67% roster nine targets in that return the almost win
17:35versus the Jags over in London town last week that the Panthers have allowed four receiving touchdowns tight end so far that's
17:43tied for fourth most in the NFL and again no Devonta Smith or even if there is Devonta Smith I'm I'm feeling
17:52a lot better about this about this he showed up and did part of what he was supposed to do last week
18:00so if it's a softer matchup I can trust him a lot more than I can in a degree of difficulty matchup
18:08like the Jags but moving on the guy that I want on my roster unequivocally Brenton Strange you're a guy Brenton Strange
18:17talked about this talked about this all off season eight targets seven receptions 68 yards 46 rostered they're taking on the Texans
18:25over in London town they're going to play in front they actually moved the stadium right in front of the big bin
18:34clock or whatever and so they're going to play the game right there in front of the king now and all of
18:42his mountain is going to have a day against the Texans this week so we're going to move two TDs for the
18:50Muth last week so we're going to stay in the flames we're going to maybe potentially double up on this target on
18:59this on not only the targets but the receptions the yards and the touchdowns just for the record seven targets five receptions
19:0744 yards and two touchdowns this past week again Tampa Bay gives it up to the tight end position we want to
19:16make sure that we're taking advantage of that and then Chigakankwo with no digs potentially we were directionally correct in that it
19:24was going to be a little bit of concentrated volume somewhere it just went from Antonio Williams right over to Mr.
19:32Chigakankwo we believed in him for a long time on the dynasty side he's healthy 71% of snaps six targets four catches
19:4160 yards very nice easy simple clean Eli Raridon though is this a name that we thought that we would be saying
19:49it works in concert with Hunter Henry gets the touchdown but Eli Raridon 57% of the snaps five catches five targets 57
19:57yards they take on the Rams this week just if you're hurting it tight in if you're going to be without a
20:06Sam Laporta or TJ Hawkinson who was lost to injury or you know Greg Dulcich the dulcifer or Mike Gusecki if you're
20:14desperation streaming look no further than one Eli Raridon and or Hunter Henry so and then Evan Ingram 48% of the snaps
20:23455 against and they're taking on the Seahawks this week and then here's something just if you're scraping the bottom of the
20:31barrel just absolutely just dumpster diving Elijah Higgins is the second tight end in 12 personnel for the Cardinals now the Cardinals
20:39are going to shift more to a 12 personnel look Matt Michael floor famously is off of the Sean Sean McVay coaching
20:48tree they use a lot of heavy personnel they have like six tight ends on the roster one of those tight ends
20:56it's not named Elijah Higgins caught two touchdowns to Trey McBride you get some spike week utility out of a guy like
21:05Elijah Higgins so he played 57% of the snaps he had three receptions three targets and 57 yards 19 yards a catch
21:13and likely upside so that's been waivers for this week coach do you have anything you want to say to show ever
21:21since they added another week to the NFL schedule the fantasy football season is that much more longer so stay with it
21:30trust the process we are the process we will see you
