Insight page

Austin Ekeler

PositiveValue13:28

Austin Ekeler played 27% of snaps in his return and looked good coming off an Achilles injury. He is a recommended add for 4-6 dollars of FAAB, especially with a soft matchup against the Giants this week.

Insight page

C.J. Stroud

PositiveProjection25:45

CJ Stroud is 46% rostered and coming off a 23-fantasy-point performance (21-of-31, 347 yards, two touchdowns); the source believes he is back to his rookie-season form.

Insight page

Chris Bell

PositiveBreakout23:28

The source notes that Chris Bell is a player to keep on your radar, as the dynasty community has been high on him and he is now proving his value on the field; despite a 68-yarder being called back, brighter days are ahead for his fantasy outlook.

Insight page
PositiveBreakout35:47

Chris Bell (17% rostered) is a high-upside player who has seen snap shares of 71% and 82% recently. He had a 68-yard touchdown called back and is a recommended hold for his potential to dominate targets.

Insight page

Cyrus Allen

PositiveSleeper25:18

The source prefers stashing Cyrus Allen over other deep options, noting that with Rasheed Rice's injury likely being multi-week and Taequann Thornton expected to miss significant time, Allen has an opportunity to emerge.

Insight page

Darius Cooper

PositiveSleeper24:08

Darius Cooper of the Philadelphia Eagles is a 0% rostered player who recorded three catches for 33 yards and two touchdowns, making him a notable waiver wire addition.

Insight page

Deshaun Watson

NegativeProjection27:11

Deshaun Watson is 16% rostered and has been inconsistent, posting fantasy point totals of 14, 19, 20, and 12 through the first four weeks; he faces the Jets in week five.

Insight page

Emanuel Wilson

PositiveUsage2:11

Emmanuel Wilson has seen his roster percentage jump to 62% following Jadarian Price's IR placement. Despite the source's frustration with the Seahawks' backfield committee approach, Wilson is receiving significant usage and should be kept on rosters.

Insight page

Jadarian Price

NegativeInjury2:19

Jadarian Price is on IR with a chest injury, rendering him unavailable for fantasy lineups. The source expresses significant frustration that the Seahawks did not utilize him as a workhorse prior to the injury, despite his high draft capital.

Insight page

Joe Mixon

PositiveValue6:42

Joe Mixon is entering the fold and is a recommended add for fantasy managers looking for stability in the Seahawks backfield.

Insight page

Keaton Mitchell

PositiveUsage19:04

Keaton Mitchell is 36% rostered and should be rostered in every league. He saw double-digit carries and five of six targets last week, providing a double-digit fantasy point floor regardless of De'Von Achane's status.

Insight page

Keon Coleman

PositiveUsage28:51

Keon Coleman is a priority target following D.J. Moore's re-aggravated shoulder injury. Coleman recorded 116 yards and a touchdown last week and is expected to see increased volume.

Insight page

Kimani Vidal

NegativeUsage20:49

Kamani Vidal is 4% rostered and is part of a choppy committee in the Chargers backfield. While the source suggests rostering any Chargers running back, the current usage split makes it difficult to rely on him.

Insight page

Kirk Cousins

PositiveProjection26:50

Kirk Cousins is 40% rostered and has posted 20+ fantasy points in three of his first four games, including a 365-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Chiefs.

Insight page

MarShawn Lloyd

NegativeUsage10:12

Marshawn Lloyd saw 55% of snaps last week with five receptions for 36 yards. While he has big-play potential, the source views him as a desperation play who will likely frustrate owners with inconsistent production until there is clarity on Josh Jacobs' status.

Insight page

Michael Mayer

PositiveBreakout28:24

Michael Mayer is 13% rostered and has posted 12 and 16 fantasy points in back-to-back weeks; he is a viable streaming option while Travis Kelce or Darren Waller are unavailable, benefiting from a target vacuum in the Raiders' offense.

Insight page

RJ Harvey

PositiveBreakout22:35

With Jonah Coleman out, RJ Harvey has emerged as a strong fantasy option, coming off a near 20-point performance. He is now a recommended target.

Insight page

Roman Wilson

NegativeUsage31:41

Roman Wilson (8% rostered) has seen six targets in four straight games and found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. However, his low snap share (31-39%) makes his production potentially unsustainable, so he should be monitored.

Insight page

Tre Harris

PositiveBreakout33:53

Trey Harris (15% rostered) is a top waiver add. His snap share jumped to 93% last week, and with Ladd McConkey missing time, Harris is a fringe WR2 with WR1 upside.

Insight page

Tyler Allgeier

PositiveValue17:00

Tyler Allgeier is 47% rostered and must be rostered in every league. He is a plug-and-play RB2 with RB1 upside if Bijan Robinson misses time, especially with a Week 5 matchup against the Lions.

Insight page

Wan'Dale Robinson

PositiveUsage24:16

Wan'Dale Robinson is 62% rostered and has posted back-to-back double-digit fantasy performances. With improved chemistry with Cam Ward, he is a weekly flex play with WR2 upside.

Insight page

Will Shipley

PositiveSleeper12:16

With Tank Bigsby heading to IR and Saquon Barkley dealing with a hamstring injury, Will Shipley (currently 0% rostered) should be kept on radars as a potential add.

Insight page

Zach Charbonnet

PositiveValue6:47

0:00Welcome back to the Redraft Show brought to you by the FF Dynasty and the FFD Fantasy and today it's Week 5
0:08and we are bringing you the waivers. So, we've got more injury carnage.
0:12He who shall not be named is just claiming body parts of our favorite players left and right.
0:19Jeremiah, after the carnage of Week 4, how are you holding up?
0:23It's painful for everybody. If it's painful for me, I know it's painful for other people.
0:29I do have a couple leagues where I'm sitting there thinking like, man, this is too early to be in the Cope
0:37stage of how far am I from the last place team?
0:41What injury could benefit me? What upside cuff do I need right now?
0:45Like all those things are happening. Then there's some other teams who are thriving and doing well.
0:51I think you have to just posit as if you're in a good spot where you're 2-2, you're 3-1.
0:58You're just in a good spot there. Just take what you've got and benefit forward and just kind of take stock of
1:06it's real bad because if you look in leagues, you'll see a handful of teams that are just battered with injuries.
1:13If you're part of the halves, keep on having.
1:16But if you're struggling, we got what you need.
1:20First note, though, Week 5, bye weeks, Panthers and Chiefs.
1:23Shev, let's kick it off with the running back position.
1:27Who do we need to pick up at the running back position?
1:31Well, I mean, I wanted to take this moment to rant a bit about the Seahawks and their usage of Emmanuel Wilson.
1:39So Emmanuel Wilson is now 62% rostered. The roster ship shot up once Jadarian Price went to IR for the chest injury.
1:47But I have a problem, Jeremiah. This isn't on the show sheet.
1:51But I got irrationally angry when I looked at the stat line because why the hell won't you use Jadarian Price like this?
1:59What do you think Jadarian Price could do with 21 carries in a game?
2:04Like, why? Why? 120 total yards, 27 fantasy points currently sitting as the RB5 on the week.
2:10Like, what are we doing? Why and why are we doing it?
2:14Why would you take a running back in the first round if you're just going to make him split snaps with fucking George Helani and Emmanuel Wilson?
2:24So I am, this is, this is extremely frustrating for me because it doesn't, you, you have a guy that's now on
2:32IR so you can't use him, but like you weren't using him like this when you had him.
2:38So you had him and then you lost him and then now you want to do the right thing.
2:45It's just, it is. And the worst part is there's proof of concept.
2:50They win football games. They win a lot of football games to the two.
2:55They won a fucking Superbowl last year. They won the Superbowl last year and they just keep taking these good running backs.
3:03And then they take running backs that aren't as good and they give them the ball all the time.
3:09And I'm sorry. I'm sorry. They can't keep getting away with this.
3:14Yeah. Like I, there's to quote Jameis Winston. There's pain, there's pain everywhere, but we got to keep pushing through.
3:21So why don't you tell us about the other running back that we're going to, we're going to discuss on the waiver show?
3:29Because I almost gave myself an aneurysm getting upset about Zach getting upset about Emmanuel Wilson.
3:35Well, the problem is as long as the Seahawks win, we really can't fault their process, right?
3:41Until they falter record wise, but we can still poke into some things where we say you paid Rashid Shaheed, but not Kenneth Walker.
3:49It seems problematic because the offshoot is how the chiefs are doing at four and Oh, they're crushing.
3:56And maybe you just allowed and enhanced indirectly the NFL's, you know, dynasty to continue the Kansas city chiefs.
4:02And the other thing is we have Joe Mixon entering the fold.
4:07I was on the show sheet about to talk to you guys about Zach Charbonnet 65% roster needs to be rostered in every league.
4:15He could return this week for us to 49ers, but Joe Mixon is coming to down.
4:21So as much as the whole Jadarian price thing, multiple weeks, it's cooked, it's real bad, it's ugly.
4:27And then you sit there and say to yourself, well, if Emmanuel Wilson got the usage Seahawks, why don't you just continue?
4:35You just say, I'm just going to go for Joe Mixon.
4:39And so we were right all along, all off season on the dynasty outlook.
4:44We were at a certain point in the off season.
4:47We came around to Jadarian price and I feel like we got got and I'm mad about that.
4:54But the one thing that we did see coming that we did talk about was like the Kareem hunt to the Nick
5:02Chubb was Charbonnet coming back at some point for price.
5:05But we just never got that golden era, that first month to six weeks of Jadarian price.
5:11And that is very tilting. So we have to digest information as it comes in.
5:17And that's the state of the Seahawks backfield. Add Joe Mixon, keep Emmanuel Wilson, Chardonnay, have at the ready.
5:23Did I say Chardonnay? You might need Chardonnay. Charbonnet at the ready.
5:28It's rough. I just, it saddens me such a great deal.
5:32Because again, I started the off season. You alluded to this.
5:35I started the off season saying, hey, no, this is going to be a nightmare.
5:41They just won the Super Bowl doing this BS.
5:44And then it was like, hey, we're going to feed Jadarian price.
5:48We're going to, we're going to feed him. But they were feeding him like Gerber baby back bullshit.
5:55And they never gave him a chance to do this stuff, do the stuff that Emmanuel Wilson, one year, $2 million Emmanuel Wilson gets to do.
6:04But your first round pick, he's going to earn his stripes.
6:08Anyway, let's move on. We've covered enough pain with the Seahawks backfield.
6:12Jeremiah, I'm starting to have a little bit of, a little bit of confidence in Marshawn Lloyd out in space.
6:19So 55% of the snaps this past week, five receptions, 36 yards.
6:24He does have a receiving touchdown on the year.
6:27He had the receiving touchdown in the preseason where he ran the beautiful angle route and just absolutely chopped that dude's ankles up.
6:35So where are you, how, what are your thoughts here before we move on to move on to a few other names as we move through the list?
6:45Well, if you need anybody with a pulse, you're absolutely going to pick up Marshawn Lloyd, but that's desperation.
6:52Essentially, there's going to be a big touchdown run.
6:55There's going to be a big play out there for Marshawn Lloyd.
6:59Surprise that we're here week five and we have healthy Marshawn Lloyd.
7:03God bless that. But Marshawn Lloyd, I wouldn't trust.
7:07He's probably on your bench and he's going to pop off for a big play.
7:12And it's going to be like Matthew Barry, whack-a-mole.
7:15If you put him in the lineup, you'll be agitated.
7:19You take him out, he'll score. Not somebody I want to go towards, but signal until we get clarity on Josh Jacobs.
7:26Maybe there's a boomerang effect for Marshawn Lloyd with the Green Bay Packers backfield.
7:31Now let's go more into the territory of like must adds more clarity.
7:36And we're getting rapid clarity, Shev. Tank Bigsby is going to be out multiple weeks.
7:41Saquon Barkley has a hamstring injury. Will Shipley season, 0% rostered.
7:45Bigsby to the IR. Keep Will Shipley on your radar.
7:49Get the Jaguars next week. I think that's a terrible matchup.
7:53I think it's doo-doo. But if you're in the situation where we talked about the opening of the show, sometimes beggars can't be choosers.
8:01Will Shipley the back to go and pick up for the Philadelphia Eagles.
8:06Now tell us, Shev. Austin Eckler, cooked or not cooked?
8:10What should we do? I don't know. Because it.
8:13So he comes in off the street. 27% of the snaps.
8:17It didn't look the way that it looked against.
8:20You remember, everybody remembers the run. You know exactly which one.
8:24Where it's like, all right, Austin. It's time to go home and be a family man, big dog.
8:30But he looks good. Coming off the Achilles, no less.
8:34Like this is whatever modern medicine is figured out with the Achilles.
8:38It's. This is nice. So this is good to get like a former fantasy MVP level guy.
8:44We're not going to. We're not expecting that. But.
8:47Taking on the New York Giants this week, this is kind of a soft landing to kind of to get your get
8:55your preseason out of the way to get your sea legs back up underneath you.
9:00Right. So Austin Eckler is I would strongly consider spending, you know, four to six dollars a fab just to see how it shakes out.
9:09No Rashad White potentially for another week or two.
9:13They clearly don't trust you. Corey across your merit in any meaningful way, shape or form had the long 35 yard reception
9:20last week, but no real meaningful work in the past game besides that.
9:25So we've got to we've got to trust what's going on here.
9:29This I either spend four to six dollars or if I'm in a position where I'm a have and a have not.
9:37I wait and see. I'm holding on to those little fab dollars in case something nicer comes along because eighth and Kaliak Manis.
9:45I don't know if we're going to maybe we get Jaden Daniels this week, but maybe it's eighth and Kaliak Manis of
9:53the Illinois fighting Illini, the seventh round rookie. And I don't know that I would want to spend it if I knew
10:01that it was going to be a K Baklava bomber as he's being so referred to now.
10:07Well, I think we're getting some bullish news on Jaden Daniels for the commanders.
10:12But it's funny enough, Eckler kind of an ad, but there's a much better teaser ad that we'll talk about a little bit later.
10:20Shev, Tyler Algier versus the Lions. It's painful to write this down, but it's beneficial to your fantasy teams.
10:27Forty seven percent rostered, eight rushes, 42 yards and a touchdown, two for two receiving, 12.9 fancy points.
10:34Jeremiah Love, Shev, talking about needing some rest and fellow backfield mates getting work.
10:39Algier needs to be rostered in every league. It's the Lions in week five.
10:44If the shoe drops and love misses time, Algier, plug and play, RB2, back end, RB1, upside.
10:50The way Jeremiah Love is talking, it sounds like the coaches have already come out.
10:55It's another injury from the preseason injury. So it's something different.
10:59A lot going on. A lot mentally talking about Jeremiah Love.
11:03This is the longest year and it's an enduring year.
11:06Your whole rookie saga through your rookie season, you're having to prove it.
11:11So go out and get yourself some Tyler Algier.
11:14Tell us, Shev, the Chargers backfield, Keith Mitchell, Kamani Vidal, what is going on?
11:19So this is an arbitrage play going back to the beginning, going back to draft season.
11:25And you're famously the author of this strategy and, you know, just kind of running our like high end, high assets like, like in a Marion Hampton.
11:34Let's go and let's go get the guy who could have some other utility besides, you know, besides just the bell cow, the supposed bell cow.
11:44So we're looking at Keaton Mitchell, 36 percent rostered.
11:47Now, you've we've we've seen on the Twitter X where there's there's just all of these rumblings coming out that Mike McDaniel prefers Keaton Mitchell.
11:56Go figure. The guy that he put wanted posters all over Joe Hortiz's office.
12:01He's he has plans to use him. So double digit carries this past week.
12:06Five of six targets. That's significant for any running back, let alone a backup.
12:11So 15 opportunities this past week and 11.3 fantasy points, no touchdown.
12:15So we're talking about a borderline RB one finish.
12:18If we get the touchdown that goes to Kamani Vidal for Keaton Mitchell.
12:23So I think that you need to roster Keaton Mitchell in every single league imaginable, because whether something happens to Marion Hampton
12:31or not, this is double digit fantasy point floor just from an opportunity perspective.
12:36And this is one of the least disappointing parts of the offense of an oven offense.
12:41It's been an absolute nightmare. So I guess we're going to stay in Los Angeles Chargers land of Anaheim of San Diego.
12:49And you tell us about what you're seeing with Kamani Vidal.
12:53Yes, he's four percent roster five for twenty five rushing.
12:57And there's just like the split off of Hampton, Mitchell and Vidal where it's like 30.
13:02It's chopped like 30 percent. And for a snap share, like high 30s, nobody's getting like full on usage as they should.
13:10There's been some scuttlebutt about what's going on with Mike McDaniel, whether he prefers a Marion Hampton or not.
13:17So you can see some of that on X, the Twitter streets.
13:21And we have the 11.6 fantasy points. It's just gotten to be a really choppy committee.
13:27So usually clarity comes forth. So you want to roster any kind of Chargers running back, any running back on a 53.
13:35I know that principle is very popular in the dynasty streets.
13:39You can apply that here, though, in the redraft street.
13:42So that's the word on the Chargers running backs.
13:45One little note versus the Chargers next week. Speaking of Tyler Bidet.
13:50All right. Eighteen percent snap share versus the Chargers next week in week five.
13:55That Broncos backfield until Jonah Coleman comes back. R.J.
13:58Harvey looked very good. He got you a near 20 point fantasy performance output.
14:03And J.K. Dobbins, I don't know if it's going to get over for him soon, but Bidet gets opportunities enough.
14:10It's frustrating enough. Like Mike McDaniel with his is with the Chargers backs does that with the Denver Broncos.
14:17Yeah, I mean, seven carries for 32 yards this past week.
14:21And I wanted to put this I wanted to put this on here just because he had caught passes.
14:27He had been the pass catching back, the pass catching, the pass blocking running back before.
14:33But now if he's going to get seven carries, it just kind of makes it a nightmare for everybody not named R.J.
14:41Harvey. Go figure. We spent the whole offseason fading R.J.
14:44Harvey. Now with no Jonah Coleman, the heavens have opened up for Alvin Kamara PPR scam for R.J.
14:51Harvey. So but moving on to the wide receiver position, I wanted to bring up.
14:56I wanted to bring up again, Wanda Robinson back to back, back to back double digit fantasy performances or, you know, they're right there about.
15:05So three catches, 19 yards and a touchdown touchdown and back to back weeks.
15:10It's him and Cam Ward are starting to develop some sort of chemistry.
15:15So with the bye weeks, if you're going to be without Rasheed Rice, if you're going to be without Ted Arova Millen,
15:23Jalen, Jalen Coker and Bryson Tremaine, the power trio, the real power thruple.
15:27Actually, they're the fake power thruple. We're the first power thruple.
15:31So we're just missing one of our guys right now.
15:3562 percent rostered. I think that this could get better.
15:38This could get the Tennessee passing offense in it.
15:41I know clip this, whatever. It's getting better. So with Cam Ward playing a little bit better, you have Wanda Robinson, who
15:49you've seen, you know, I think he was 12 points a game overall last year.
15:55Finishes a wide receiver 14 in PPR. Like if we can get that style of PPR scam or he's just going to
16:02be the easy button in the red zone, you're looking at a weekly flex play with wide receiver two upside.
16:09So wanted to mention wanted to mention Wanda Robinson.
16:13Is there anybody that you wanted to hit on?
16:16Obviously, I'm so excited, man, about and you and I are both like like this is coming from both of us.
16:23Antonio Williams, toothpaste tube moment. 16 percent rostered. Three of eight targets for 21 yards and five fancy points.
16:30If you're just a box score lurker, just reading the stats, you just say, oh, man, that sucks.
16:37Doesn't tell the full story. 87 yard touchdown. Call back.
16:40Shev Terry McLaurin hamstring injury. Jaden Daniels looks like he's coming back.
16:44Back week five juicy matchup at home versus the Giants with a Jane Daniel.
16:49J.D. Five is coming back. Antonio Williams. One of the two like in the two wide receiver sets.
16:56Traylon Burks looked beautiful, looked great. OK, that that bomb to him was excellent.
17:01He's going to get his. But there is no way the coaches did not see what Antonio Williams showed.
17:07And they've been seeing this from the time where he was drafted to present day.
17:13That's why they drafted him. But Antonio Williams, if you were paying attention, it's free to pay attention.
17:19If you saw that, you know better things are coming.
17:23So make sure you have him if he's not already rostered for your team.
17:28Tell us. Talk about what's going on with injured players.
17:31Maybe something going on with D.J. Moore. Tell us about Keon Coleman.
17:36Yeah. So D.J. Moore re-aggravated the shoulder injury. Keon Coleman steps in cookies.
17:40Seven targets, six catches, 116 yards and a touchdown.
17:43One of the more spectacular catches of the season so far.
17:47And yeah, he lands with somewhat of a tough matchup with the Rams on the road in week five.
17:54But this is both teams are kind of in must win, must win territory.
17:59I mean, all playoff teams are like that, but this is a huge game for the rest of season implications for both teams.
18:07Buffalo Bills coming off a loss. They don't want to they don't want to fall even with the Patriots and then lose the tide.
18:16Currently losing the tiebreaker. But all that being said, if D.J.
18:20Moore is going to be out and you're playing a team that just completely erases the tight end like the New England Patriots do.
18:28I think that Keon Coleman is a guy that I'm going to be actively trying to trying to target this week.
18:36Now, how does it go against Trent McDuffie? I don't know, but maybe they create some matchups to where he ends up on a manual Forbes.
18:45I like that matchup a lot better. So I wanted to bring up Keon Coleman.
18:50Why don't you talk to us about someone who surpassed the mark of the beast with six targets in three straight games
18:58and made it six targets in four straight games?
19:01Well, you must be talking about getting past Aaron Rodgers judgment.
19:05Roman Wilson gets the Colts this week. Eight percent rostered.
19:09He's had back to back weeks of some intentional usage.
19:12Fifteen and sixteen point four fancy points back to back weeks.
19:16But the problem is you got to monitor thirty nine percent snap share.
19:21Thirty one percent snap share back to back weeks for Roman Wilson.
19:25Back to back week. So has those six targets.
19:28He found the end zone the last two weeks.
19:32So if the snap share doesn't increase, there's concern to me that it's not sustainable.
19:37So you need to at least have him on your roster.
19:41Of course, if you don't get Antonio Williams. Right.
19:44But you want Roman Wilson. If you're not going to plug and play and you want to see the snap share game, see if it goes up.
19:54That'll be some more signal. But how do you put that toothpaste back in the tube?
19:59This is one of those satisfying long form plays from Dynasty.
20:03That's been paying off. If you have him. I was scrolling in this team that is a rebuilder and I'm like, damn,
20:11I totally forgot I had Roman Wilson. Like I couldn't.
20:15There was a time where he was just flatline.
20:18There was no chance he could be liquid for anything.
20:21And now he's actually kind of popping. It's been a lot of fun.
20:26Speaking of somebody who's popping and right on time for anybody who's desperate with injuries at the receiver position.
20:33Shev, tell us about Trey Harris of the Chargers.
20:36Gotta have Trey Harris. This is, this is not a drill.
20:40So big, strong, physical, smooth, like did all the dirty work in the run game.
20:45And now if they're, Vlad McConkie is going to miss time.
20:49This could, we could be looking at a fringe wider, like a wide receiver two with wide receiver one upside.
20:56So last week, six targets or six catches, 76 yards this past week, three catches for 60 yards.
21:03Snap share jumped from 58% to 93% in week four.
21:06And he's only 15% rostered. This is going to be one of the top waiver ads of the week.
21:13So there's no, there's no reason to believe that there's, there's no reason to believe in Quentin Johnson anymore.
21:20I was fooled. You were fooled. We were fooled.
21:23I cried. You cried. We crowed. We crew and we're moving on.
21:27We're moving on to bigger and better things. So tell us about why you're bullish on Chris Bell.
21:34Oh man, it's funny. We're in this rebuilder for the audience where we're snip snapping some trade offers back and forth.
21:41And I'm trying to attack for Antonio Williams. And you're trying to attack for Chris Bell.
21:47Cause I know that, you know, that we know that they all know Chris Bell is an absolute baller.
21:54So was Antonio Williams, but Chris Bell, 17% rostered for the Miami dolphins gets the Bengals this week.
22:00That Bengals defense is going to get right against the dolphins for the first four weeks.
22:06Defense is against the dolphins have ranked third, ninth, ninth, and fourth.
22:10So they've crushed it. You're guaranteeing in leagues where you play defense.
22:14One of the safest plays is attacking the dolphins offense.
22:18Bengals have had their own outright good opportunity. So that's just a little bit of free baseball there in fancy football for the Bengals defense.
22:27But you had a 68 yard touchdown call back from stepping out of bounds.
22:32So 71 and 82% snap share for Chris Bell the last two weeks.
22:36The dolphins really shove just impressed me as this offense.
22:40That's going to be tougher to pick on late in the season for streaming defenses, because you're going to see Chris Bell.
22:48You're going to see Caleb Douglas get into some better form.
22:51And that includes Malik Washington, who's also a play for us.
22:5549% rostered five for five, 67 yards equals 12 fancy points for him.
23:00So you want to get your dolphins. It's easy to get them now and they will be on by week six.
23:08So it may not even be this week that you have to, but even in redraft, I would want to hold on
23:15for dear life for somebody like a Chris Bell, because the way he can just take over, dominate those drags and crossers,
23:23kind of like a built up AJ Brown, man, we miss AJ Brown.
23:28Chris Bell, he's somebody you want on your radar.
23:31What do you think? Oh yeah, this is, this has been on the dynasty side.
23:36We, we were big Chris Bell people. Now we're just getting, we're just getting the outcome proven that we need.
23:43We just need the points to count. Towards the outcome, but we synced it.
23:48You can't put the, the toothpaste is not going back into tube now.
23:53Much like Antonio Williams, that 87 yarder got called back.
23:57This 68 yarder got called back. Brighter days are ahead for your fantasy lineups with, with Chris Bell and Antonio Williams.
24:04But I'm going to move through the post waiver stashes really quickly.
24:08Darius Cooper, Darius Cooper of the Philadelphia Eagles, three, three catches, 33 yards, two touchdowns, 0% rostered.
24:14Dante Myers named a real, a real name to monitor 89% of the snaps.
24:19Once, once Jamar chase went out again, additionally, T Higgins is going to potentially be out as well with an adductor injury.
24:27So seven catches, 82 yards, 15 fantasy points in relief.
24:31So if they're going to scheme this whole deal up, I mean, he made the roster as an undrafted free agent.
24:38If they're going to scheme this whole deal up for him, he could have upside in an offense that we really believe in.
24:46And then Jalen Knowles, 62% of the snaps, they take on the Titans in week five.
24:52He had three for 85 against the Cowboys. So keep an eye out there.
24:57They have to have someone to alleviate the pressure from Nico Collins.
25:01And then Bryson Tremaine, 0% rostered. They're on by this week.
25:05So if you want to, this is more of a deep, deep, deep leagues, deep leagues only.
25:11You could stash them away if you're really hurting a receiver, but I would honestly much rather stash Mr.
25:18Cyrus Allen as a guy that if they don't sign anyone, I don't believe Rasheed Rice's injury is going to be just
25:26a one week thing with the way that he pulled up.
25:30And we saw the Taequann Thornton is probably going to miss a significant amount of time.
25:36So enter training camp, darling Cyrus Allen. Why don't you close us out?
25:40Lead us through the quarterback streamers of the week that you're looking at.
25:45I'll hit the quarterbacks. If you can hit the tight ends, I'm going to go with CJ Stroud, 46% rostered.
25:52Don't look now, but CJ Stroud might be back.
25:55Like give us some advice, like to Caleb Williams, that rookie season for Caleb back, but with the swagger and with the
26:03aura of the rookie season, CJ Stroud. So 21 of 31, 347 passing yards, two touchdowns, 23 fantasy points.
26:10Oh, who gets the Titans on the road of week five?
26:14She that's going to be tough. Tyson. But can you believe she have CJ Stroud and the Texans are oh, and four.
26:21I was looking at the standings. It's like, damn, life comes at you fast.
26:26Tyson Badgett, 4% rostered, 25 of 34 for 268 passing yards and a rushing touchdown.
26:3217 fantasy points. Gets the Packers in week five.
26:35We're hearing more. It's multi-week status for Caleb Williams still in his injury recovery.
26:40And Tyson Badgett, a good play. Granted, I would rather have CJ Stroud.
26:45But in your Superflex leagues, you want to go out and get some Tyson Badgett.
26:50Kirk O'Chain's, Kirk Cousins, 40% roster, three games, 20 or more fancy points, 31 of 52, 365 passing yards, two touchdowns against the Chefs.
26:58You get the Patriots and Bills Rams next three weeks.
27:02The bye week is over in week 13. So record-wise, we're going to monitor this.
27:073-1 Raiders as it pertains to Kirk Cousins, Fernando Mendoza.
27:11And then lastly, Deshaun Watson. Deshaun Watson, 16% rostered, 14, 19, 20, and 12 fantasy points the first four weeks for Deshaun Watson.
27:19Gets the Jets on the road in week five.
27:22So those are your quarterback plays. Shev, tell us about the tightest of ends.
27:27T.J. Hooshmadu. Oh, sorry. That's, sorry. Going back to the NFL Network.
27:31Going back to the NFL Network commercial from back in the day, the fantasy commercial.
27:37But T.J. Hawkinson, the Hawkstrap, Hockey Lease, 40% rostered, 24 fantasy points in non-tight-end premium leagues, which I want to get into a redraft tight-end premium league.
27:46That would be fun. But 13 targets, 13 receptions, 119 yards.
27:50They get the Saints on the road in week five.
27:54If no Justin Jefferson, he is a must, nearly a must-play option for me.
27:59Probably, I mean, almost certainly going to be in my top, the top 12 of my rankings.
28:05So I, they need T.J. Hawkinson. He's one of the only parts of this offense outside of Aaron Jones.
28:12Like, that's functioning right now. So, gotta have, gotta have T.J.
28:16Hawkinson. I mean, 40% rostered. Those are rookie numbers.
28:19We gotta get those numbers up. And then on the deep stash tip, Michael Mayer.
28:24So, there's not been a wide receiver one or wide receiver two to emerge to absorb targets from Kirk O'Chain's that we just spoke about.
28:33But they're throwing the ball a lot. They're throwing the ball often.
28:37One thing that I didn't really take into account properly was that Kirk Cousins and Clint Kubiak, Blint Bubiak, do have great chemistry.
28:45Kirk Cousins credits the best season of his career to being with Clint Kubiak.
28:50So, when we're talking about, we're talking about a guy that is going to command the type of attention that Brock Bowers does.
28:59There's a vacuum of targets left that are just gonna be wide open.
29:03Free chicken, if you will. So, Michael Mayer comes out 12 and 16 fantasy points in back-to-back weeks.
29:10Only 13% rostered. If you're gonna be without Travis Kelsey this week, you're gonna be without Darren Waller this week, and you
29:18don't have an option already, that's a fine option for you just to stream.
29:22And they get the Patriots this week who are very stingy against the tight end.
29:28But are they stingy against two tight ends? Think about it.
29:32Think about it. And then Tyler Higby, the Higbys, Terrence Ferguson on IR.
29:36Five catches, 67 yards. Again, if you're without, if you're without, you could do a lot worse than Tyler Higby.
29:43And then maybe my favorite here, out of nowhere, the tight end nine and half PPR this year going into Monday Night Football.
29:52Mike Gusecki, who has always, who's always shown up big for the Bengals whenever T.
29:57Higgins or Jamar Chase is out of the lineup.
30:00Only 16% rostered. Get the Dolphins, who have been very generous to the tight end position to date.
30:07And so three of four games, double digit scoring, 13 point fantasy points in week four, week three this past week.
30:14Three catches, 40 yards and a touchdown. I think he could approach double digit targets at the tight end position and fall
30:22into the end zone, which then gives us, you know, fantasy bonanza, top five tight end finish for the immortal one that is Mike Gusecki.
30:31Jeremiah, do you have anything else to leave the people before we get out of here?
