0:00I'm going to be honest with you guys.
0:01Most of the waiverwire advice I have seen is really bad this week. Obviously, we are going to cover some of the
0:06obvious names that everyone else is doing, but there are two secret guys for me that I think you need to be making
0:11rather large waiver claims on that are mostly going under discussed in Spanish football. We are obviously going to begin with the Philadelphia Eagles. Will
0:18Shipley played all the long down and distance, but Saquon Barkley is not going to play in week five. And Tank Bsby is having to have core muscle
0:25surgery, which leaves Will Shipley as the only other running back on the Eagles who has played a snap yet this year. Now, do I think Will Shipley is
0:33going to step in to a 16, 17, 18 touch per game role? I don't. We're going to talk a little bit more about the other
0:39Eagles running backs who are going to be available to them. This could be a trade destination. This hamstring injury for Barkley, I do think is pretty severe. I
0:47would not count on seeing Barkley in week six either. I would not count on seeing Tank Bsby anytime soon. I do
0:53think you can bid pretty aggressively on Will Shipley. He is certainly going to retain his job as the long down and
0:59distance back and I think he's going to get a chance to play on early downs and see if there's anything there. He was
1:03kind of an interesting prospect at Clemson. a pretty productive player in college, but and and I do think Shipley's like, let's say he was a
1:10better ad than either of the Miami guys last week, but compared to someone like Emanuel Wilson, like I do think Emanuel
1:16Wilson will probably project better than Will Shipley in terms of fantasy points this upcoming week and whatever week they are both going to be starters. Then
1:25we have to talk about Keon Coleman. DJ Moore reinjured his shoulder. Coleman was awesome in this last game. 23 PPR points, 78% routes, 23% of the targets.
1:34We saw Daltton Concincaid's role minimized in the offense 49% of the routes last week. I do think part of that is because Keon Coleman has played
1:42so well and it really should not be that surprising for someone who was, you know, a firstround draft pick. The Bills
1:48did really like Keon Coleman. One of the things that Joe Brady said was the best thing that could have happened to Keon
1:53Coleman's career was me getting promoted to head coach because I really like Keon Coleman. That's something that was reported that Joe Brady did say to Keon
2:02Coleman this offseason and it looks to be true. I mean, he to me does look like one of the better waiver wire wide
2:07receiver ads of the year up until this point. I mean, you get to buy into the Josh Allen offense. And Coleman fits
2:14into a better role in my mind than DJ Moore even does because Coleman is most effective down the field. And you can
2:20see that those plays that Josh Allen is trying to extend with his legs, those plays are largely going to Keon Coleman.
2:26He's like a 15% free agent acquisition budget bid for me. Obviously, the guy that I think we have to talk about that
2:32is being missed by most waiverwire analysts is Mike Cassiki. Mike Cassiki in his career when Tiggins doesn't play averages 10.7 PPR points per game, over
2:41four receptions, uh almost.3 touchdowns per game in those games. And the big thing is this, Gasiki is clearly a very talented pass catcher, but he is a very
2:51bad blocker, which is why he doesn't get to play all that often. However, when one of Jamar Chase or T Higgins is
2:56injured, he then gets promoted to basically being a full-time slot wide receiver, I would consider the role that he played in last week for the Bengals
3:04with Jamar Chase and Tiggins banged up to not be that dissimilar to the role that Brock Bowowers plays with the Las
3:10Vegas Raiders. You know, last week for the Raiders, both Michael Mayer and Brock Bowowers played as full-time players. That is what is going to happen
3:18with Mike Cassiki. We are going to see him have a 70% route share. I think Tiggins is probably going to miss
3:23multiple weeks. Jamar Chase, there's a chance that he is able to play against the Dolphins, but I will have Gassiki ranked as a top 10 tight end very likely
3:31in any given week that one of Tigans or Jamar Chase does not play. So, I will be adding him. Like, for example, I would
3:38rather add Mike Cassiki than TJ Hawinson this upcoming week, which I think is probably going to be an unpopular opinion coming off of that very good
3:46game that T.J. Hawinson just had. And then obviously, I mean, we don't need to spend much time talking about it. We
3:50talked about him a ton last week, but Emanuel Wilson is the top ad. Uh, in terms of if you need week five points, I
3:58just assume that in every competitive league, Emanuel Wilson has already been added. Moving to the A tier, we got to talk about Tyreek Hill. So, we had a
4:05report from Adam Sheper who said that Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhouse, said that he is going to be signing basically this week. The expectation, at
4:13least for me, would be that he will sign with the Kansas City Chiefs. Taquan Thornton dislocated his ankle and then Rashi Rice injured his hamstring. The
4:21Chiefs have a buy in week five. We'll see if Rashi Rice is able to play in week six. Sounds like there is a chance
4:27for Rashi Rice to play. But basically the deal with Tyreek Hill is if you have a good fantasy football team. If you
4:33have a 4-0 team, if you have a three in one team, Tyreek Hill is the exact type of guy you need to add. He was
4:38relatively efficient in the few games that he did play last season before he suffered the season ending injury. Now, I don't think Tyreek Hill is going to be
4:45able to play all that soon. Even if, like, let's say I post this video and Tyreek Hill does sign with the Kansas
4:50City Chiefs. He's not playing in week six. He's probably not playing in week seven. The reports have been that he is
4:56targeting a November return. He could be very, very useful, you know, down the stretch in fantasy football, particularly if Rashi Rice is not able
5:03to return. But in the context of the Chiefs offense, I and and let's say he's able to return to his 2024 levels of
5:10efficiency when he was a good but not great fantasy football wide receiver.
5:14That's still a very useful guy to pick up in fantasy football right now. And if you were asking me, do I want to pick up
5:21Tyreek Hill or Jordan Tyson? Honestly, uh you know, I'm having a tough time answering that question. I think Tyson is probably the better ad because I
5:30would expect the volume to be better and I would expect the efficiency to be similar, you know, and and we're going
5:35to talk more about Jordan Tyson here in a little bit, but every other fantasy football video is talking about Tyreek Hill. You know, he's already owned in a
5:42good number of leagues, but I I think he probably will sign with the Kansas City Chiefs this week, and I think he is
5:47going to be a very popular waiver war. I would not go crazy fab dollars for him though, particularly because I just
5:53don't think he's going to contribute points to you all that soon. And we are now heading into the by-week part of the
5:58season. Injuries are going to continue to mount up. You're going to be tempted to drop Tyreek Hill because it's going to be week eight and he still is not
6:06going to be producing any points on your roster. Trey Harris is I think one of the big beneficiaries of the Chargers
6:12just falling apart. 91% of the routes, 70% of the targets. Lad Manunky got injured again. Marquez Bald scaling is now running 70% of the routes for this
6:21team. The Chargers are going nowhere and they're going nowhere very quickly, but Trey Harris is kind of a consistent metronome for them. Quinton Johnston is
6:29I I mean, I knew Quinton Johnson was bad at football. I did not know he was this bad. So Trey Harris, I've mentioned him
6:35a ton in the waiverwire stuff, but he basically kind of just my favorite.
6:39Sneak him through on waivers, spend a buck or two. I mean, obviously don't use a number one waiver priority on him or
6:44anything, but I do think there are reasons to be rostering and reasons to be optimistic about Harris specifically in fantasy football. Dante Meyers for
6:52the Cincinnati Bengals, 15 points last week. Such an interesting guy. He went to two different colleges. He went to Presbyterian College and then Delta
6:59State University. His final collegiate season got cancelled by COVID. Then he goes and plays in the CFL. Kind of bangs around in the CFL. Then makes the CFL
7:08Allstars in 2025. has a very good season. Then signs with the Cincinnati Bengals. They had a couple young guys they were actually excited about.
7:16Colobby Young um and then Andre Yoshi Boss. Meyers has yanked Andre Yoshi Voss's chain and now T. Higgins is not playing. Dante Meyers assumes T.
7:25Higgins's role and then actually after assuming Jamar Chase's role, they get to play the Miami Dolphins this week. I do think I will probably have Myers ranked
7:33as like a top 45 receiver against the Dolphins this upcoming week. I mean, you're going to know your roster better than mine, but I do think Myers is a
7:41good source of oneweek points. And then if Teigans requires surgery or something like this for this adductor injury, then I do think Myers can be, you know,
7:49basically a full-time player in one of the heaviest pass rate over expectation offenses in football. The media asked Joe Burrow last week about the pass to
7:57run ratio. They had one of the most heavy pass to run ratios in the NFL in week four. And you know what Joe Burrow
8:03said? He said, "Sounds great. I think we need to pass it even more." which means that Gasiki Meyers, you know, kind of
8:08whoever is available in that offense, there's so much passing volume available and Joe Burrow is so efficient that these guys actually are like better.
8:16Even if Dante Myers himself is just an okay player, it doesn't really matter because the pass volume is so extensive in the Bengals offense. I did want to
8:23make sure to talk about Jordan Tyson because we got a report from Nick Underh Hill this week that Jordan Tyson has
8:29resumed running off to the side on Saints practice. Now, the Saints have a buy in week eight. So, I think the
8:35earliest you're going to feel comfortable putting Jordan Tyson in your lineup is probably week nine. But when I again when I'm comparing him to Tyreek
8:42Hill, I think that the volume path for Jordan Tyson is so much clearer. Chris Alave limped off uh on Monday Night
8:49Football against the Atlanta Falcons at the very final drive. We know that Chris Ave is very fragile. I know all you guys
8:55love Jawan Johnson and you guys love Devon Ble. One thing I've learned since doing these fantasy football videos is that people really, really love Devon
9:03Ble. And you know, Veil is a nice story or whatever. However, when Jordan Tyson returns to the lineup after being drafted eighth overall by the New
9:10Orleans Saints, my expectation would be that he is a better player than Devon Ble and that he is going to be more
9:15capable of earning volume than Devon.
9:18So, I am starting on my good teams, you know, my 4-0 teams, my three in one teams. I'm starting to add Jordan Tyson
9:24quite a bit. He is one of the injured guys right now that I think has insanely high fantasy football upside when he
9:31does in fact return to the lineup. You know, we have seen the crazy pass volume for the New Orleans Saints. The defense
9:36is not very good. We we you know, Tyler Shuck basically uh Tyler Shuck right now in the first half of games is bottom
9:42five in the NFL and EPA per play. And then in the fourth quarters of games, he's top 10 in the NFL in EPA per play.
9:48So, we've seen the way that that offense plays out in given games. Malik Washington, we talked about him last week, 12 PBR points, 90% of the routes,
9:5630% of the targets. I do think if you had to start a Dolphins wide receiver, it would obviously be Malik Washington
10:01over Chris Bell. Chris Bell did have a 60-yard touchdown called back by a very tickytack penalty. His foot just like barely stepped out of balance, but the
10:10Miami Dolphins only ran 39 plays last week. The fact is the Dolphins are just not very good. But Malik Washington does
10:15provide a nice fantasy football floor.
10:18Did not end up getting used as a running back at all. But again, they only ran 39 plays. Maybe in a game where they run
10:23more like an NFL average 60 plays, we do see a little bit of Malik Washington used out of the backfield. Uh and then
10:29our final A tier, Tyler Higgby, 11 PPR points, 76% of the routes, 12% of the targets last week. With Kobe Parkinson
10:36out, and with Terence Ferguson out, he was the primary receiving tight end.
10:40Second round pick, Max Cla played only one snap that was in 13 personnel. The Rams did not play very much 13 personnel
10:46without Kobe Parkinson in and only Davis Allen and Higgby available. But the key thing here to me is that in a league
10:53where I need a tight end, I now have the evidence of the most recent two games that Tyler Higgby is Terrence Ferguson's
10:58backup. It's not Kobe Parkinson, it's not Davis Allen, it's not Max Claire, it's Tyler Higgby. And I think even if Parkinson returns next week, I would
11:06basically expect this to be Tyler Higgby's role. I think he'll run about 75% of the routes. And I think his target share will be between 12, you
11:13know, and and 18% of the Los Angeles Rams offense with a decent chance of scoring a touchdown. And Matt Stafford is an all-time kingmaker. We've seen
11:21Tyler Higgby go on these runs in fantasy football before. I mean, I think a lot of us remember there was actually once a
11:26year where Tyler Higgby was drafted as a top 10 tight end in fantasy football.
11:30And Higgby would be a guy that I mean, I added him in a ton of leagues last week and I actually started him in like three
11:37or four of my deeper leagues last week and I was happy to do it. I I was very happy with the role he had. So that's
11:41the S tier and the A tier. Moving to the B tier, we begin with Jaylen Royals. So, no Taekwon Thornton for likely the rest
11:49of the season. It would be my expectation that if Rashi Rice is not able to play in week six, that it would
11:55be Jaylen Royals that would assume his role. It's a little bit unclear to me exactly who is going to take the role
12:01vacated by Taekquin Thornton. I do think Jayen Royals is probably Rashi Rice's backup, but the Chiefs did not play any snaps out of 11 personnel after Taekquin
12:10left the game. It was Noah Gray who played more. So, it was Jaylen Royals and Noah Gray who played a ton more. We
12:16are obviously going to talk about Cyrus Allen. I wouldn't go too crazy on either one of these guys. I would not spend
12:22more than one to 2%. I think we're going to see the Kansas City Chiefs run a lot.
12:25I think we're going to see Noah Gray play a lot of empty calorie snaps. And I think the passing offense is largely
12:31going to coalesce around Xavier Worthy and around Travis Kelce. I think their target shares are going to increase. But if I had to pick one Kansas City Chiefs
12:39guy right now, my guess would be Jaylen Royals runs more routes than Cyrus Allen. I mean, if they sign Tyreek Hill
12:45and Tyreek is there in week eight, then I guess these guys are not going to be that relevant. But when the Chiefs are
12:50playing 11 personnel in week six, they have a week five buy and Rashi Rice is able to play. It'll be really
12:56interesting who plays in that taekwond role, is it going to be Jaylen Royals?
13:00Is it going to be Cyrus Allen? I I mean Jaylen Royals has played a lot more than Cyrus Allen already this season, but
13:07it's totally possible that with two weeks off, you know, I mean, Andy Reid uh and Eric Benemy are going to have a
13:11lot of time to think about what they want to do without Taekquin. It's very possible that Cyrus ends up winning that
13:17role. I have Cyrus Allen highlighted here. I mean, he literally only ran two routes in this game. He was targeted on
13:23one of those snaps. Not going crazy on either one of them. In leagues where I need wide receivers, I would maybe
13:28spend, you know, two to 3% of my free agent acquisition budget on them. And I do prefer Tyreek for both of them. We do
13:35need to return to the Philadelphia Eagles backfield, though, because their entire backfield rotation is now injured. These are the three running
13:42backs they have on the practice squad.
13:43Damen Pierce, who used to be on the Houston Texans, Jaden Blue, who used to be on the Dallas Cowboys, and Carson
13:48Steel, who used to be on the Kansas City Chiefs. We have seen all of these guys be kind of interesting in the NFL in
13:54limited roles. Carson Steel started a game for the Chiefs. Jaden Blue started week 18 for the Cowboys last year. Damen Pierce had a thousand yards for the
14:01Houston Texans in uh his first NFL season, but then when the team switched to a zone running scheme, he basically could not do it. The reason why I wanted
14:09to include these guys, particularly for deeper leagues, is Will Shipley just does not necessarily profile as a guy who is going to handle the early down
14:18work. I think it's one of the reasons why they acquired Tank Bixby to begin with was they liked Will Shipley in that
14:25long down a distance role and they wanted a more direct backup for Saquon Barkley. Of these three guys, the one who profiles the best is the direct
14:33backup to Tank Bsby would be Damen Pierce. Damen Pierce is a very likefor-like replacement in terms of who is going to be activated for their next
14:42game. Um, I believe they they play this game in London. I mean, Carson Steel is the one who offers the ability to play
14:49special teams. Now, if you're asking me, you're you're telling me truth serum and you're saying which one of these guys is
14:55the best running back, it's easily Jaden Blue. And it's not even close. I mean, Jaden Blue, if Jaden Blue was a like
15:01good guy, I mean, every story you hear about Jaden Blue is that he is like a nightmare. When he got cut by the
15:06Cowboys, Brian Shottenheimimer was like, "Yeah, we don't even want you back.
15:09Like, we don't even want you on the practice squad. You know, go figure it out elsewhere." But if it was just about
15:14who is best on the field, it would definitely be Jaden Blue. If I thought it was about who is the best team
15:20player, who's the best gamer, it's definitely Carson Steel. If it's who is the best like for like replacement for Tank Bsby, it would be Damen Pierce.
15:28We're going to get a ton more information about these guys. I mean, you can kind of like in deeper leagues, 14 team leagues, 16 team leagues,
15:35whatever. You can kind of spend a buck on whoever of them. My ranking of them would be Jaden Blue first, Damen Pierce
15:41second, and Carson Steel third. Do I have any particular insight here? Do I think any of them are going to be
15:48startable in this upcoming week? No, I don't. But I think we have seen with both the Seahawks and um with the the
15:54Miami Dolphins that the market has been wrong about these things. I mean, everyone was going like all my comments last week were saying Jaylen Wright's
16:01going to be the starting running back for the Dolphins. I disagreed with that.
16:04you know, all my comments were saying that Emanuel Wilson is going to lose work to George Alani. That that obviously um did not happen. And the
16:11speaking of that, uh well, we're we're going to talk about Bryce Lance, but I want to talk about Joe Mixon. So, Joe
16:17Mixon signed with the Seattle Seahawks practice squad. Um they also activated Robert Henry Jr., who was on the Commanders in the preseason to be their
16:26running back three. Joe Mixon had very little left the last time we saw him and then he had this potentially career-ending foot injury. The last we
16:34saw him in 2024, he got a bunch of raw points but was very very non-efficient in that season. It was one of his worst
16:41success rate seasons in the NFL. It was his worst receiving season in terms of efficiency in the NFL. Zack Charbanet um
16:49you know has returned to practice, has been doing some team drills. His 21-day window has been open, so we are going to
16:55see him return. It's unclear to me how long Jadarian Price is going to be out.
16:59I would definitely prefer to taking uh old guys who are injured. I would prefer Tyreek Hill to Joe Mixon. And in for my
17:06own leagues with my own money where I'm trying to win, I would prefer to add one of the Eagles guys because I think
17:12you're closer to being able to start one of the Eagles guys. Like, how surprising would it be if Damen Pierce got 13
17:18rushes this week for the Eagles? I It would not be that surprising to me. I would be surprised if Joe Mixon played
17:24in week five for the Seattle Seahawks and then we're talking about well okay Joe Mixon could very easily like he could be waved you know he signs a he
17:33signs a oneweek deal you know with the with the Seattle Seahawks he's on the practice squad Charbanet's ahead of schedule Jadarian Price returns and then
17:40all of a sudden there's just no room on the roster for Joe Mixon I I think it's totally fine to add him if you have a
17:46belief in him or maybe you think Emanuel Wilson stinks or you think George Hani stinks but I could compare this Joe
17:53Mixon signing to like Melvin Gordon signing with the Kansas City Chiefs or Devontto Freeman signing with the Baltimore Ravens, you know, later in his
18:01career. I I don't think that the Seattle Seahawks signed Joe Mixon to, you know, be a big part of their offense. The
18:07reason why I wanted to mention Bryce Lance was the aforementioned injury to Chris Ave. Now, according to the coaching staff, it was no big deal, but
18:15we have seen Chris Ave limp off before and not return. Um, Bryce Lance has generally been a full-time player. I I
18:22mean, he saw five targets in the Monday Night Football game, did not convert any of them, but has a very high average
18:28depth of the target. He played 85% of the snaps for the New Orleans Saints.
18:32And I know Jordan Tyson is coming back soon, but if Chris Alav were to miss any time, Lance would be a pretty
18:38interesting ad to me in deeper formats.
18:42And I just I'm very intrigued by the physical profile of Bryce Lance. It's also very odd for day three picks to
18:48like earn starting jobs in the NFL. So, it's just interesting to me that Bryce Lance immediately earned a starting role. And then I did just want to shout
18:55out Mai Lemon who had an 18% target share and an 84% route share with Devonte Smith out. They used him in a
19:02slightly different way. He actually started the game uh against the Los Angeles Rams very well. He had, I believe, three for 39 in the first two
19:09drives and then did not have a reception for the rest of the game. I am not buying into the Darius Cooper two
19:14touchdown game. And sadly, I think the Dantavian Wixs experience has kind of passed us by. I'm a huge fan of Dantavian Wix. I've always loved
19:22Dantavian Wixs, but I wanted to see Mai Lemon used as a real receiver and he was used as a real receiver uh this final
19:30week and and the Eagles have to change something up and now maybe with Barkley they they are able to change something
19:35up. I mean Jayen Herz has played very poorly to start the year. I have always kind of been a pro, not even kind of, I
19:41have always been a pro Jaylen Herz guy.
19:43So, I'm excited. Um, and and Lemon is just a guy I thought he was such a phenomenal prospect coming out of USC.
19:49Uh, and I I I don't like the Eagles passing offense at all, but I I hope that with Dallas got it returning.
19:55Hopefully, Devont Smith is able to play in week six. Sounds like he's not going to play in week five. I I think I'm I'm
20:01hoping there are better things to come from the Eagles offense. All right, down to the Ctier. Kind of getting to the end
20:06here. Roman Wilson only a 40% route share but absolutely smashed in the Thursday night game. I I don't really believe but there are worse sources of
20:14potential points. Antonio Williams had a 80 yard touchdown called back by penalty. 73% route share 24% target share. I called him out last week in the
20:22Saturday video as a sneaky start. Really wish that 80 yard touchdown would have held. But my assumption that with Terry McLuren out then Antonio Williams would
20:31have a full route share proved to be true. Antonio Williams is better than Van Jefferson. He's better than Deami Brown. He's better than I mean I don't
20:39know. I think I think he's probably better than Trayon Burks at this stage of his career. So Antonio Williams a guy
20:43I remain high on. Mitch Tinsley if Jamar Chase is not able to play with his concussion. So if T. Higgins and Jamar
20:51Chase are both out. I would rather have Mitchell Tinsley on my roster than I would rather have anyone else. I I feel
20:58I mean you know whatever. Very low-end ad here. Kendre Miller was the running back too for the New Orleans Saints and
21:04Alvin Kamar got banged up in that Monday night football game. Only played 26% of the snaps, 13% of the long down a
21:10distance. But hey, I mean you know there is every chance that Alvin Kamara who is you know getting up there in his career
21:17uh you know is is having to miss time at some point. Uh he briefly exited the game in the third quarter uh evaluated
21:24in the blue tent u and then did end up returning to action. But I don't know, maybe it's one of those things that ends
21:29up, you know, it hurts a little bit more after the game for Kamara. Caleb Johnson uh had a chance to take this job away
21:36from Marshon Lloyd, ripped off a nice 31 yard run. Then guess what happened? He fumbled right before the goal line, was
21:42about to score a touchdown, and then he fumbled instead. There was a very damning quote from Matt Laflur this week where he said, "Hey, these guys have to
21:48hold on to the rock or they're not going to play." The reason why I still included Caleb Johnson is that Chris
21:53Brooks is injured. Pierre Strong is going to be called up in Chris Brooks's spot. I have no idea what the playing
21:59time between Caleb Johnson, Marshon Lloyd, and Pierre Strong is going to be.
22:02My sense would be that Pierre Strong is going to get a chance to play the long down and distance stuff, but is not
22:07going to get any early down rushing.
22:09Marshon Lloyd has just been so so so bad. I like actually cannot believe how bad Marshon Lloyd has been. It looks
22:16like he's playing football without hamstrings. And also worth noting, Marshon Lloyd also had a fumble in the fourth quarter. uh his fumble went out
22:22of bounds. But if we're talking about just putting the ball on the ground in general, Marshon Lloyd has two fumbles already this season on very limited
22:30work. I continue to think that Caleb Johnson is the best early down rusher on this team, which is saying very little
22:36because every running back on the Green Bay Packers is terrible. They have the worst running back room in the NFL. And
22:41and at some point, I I do think Josh Jacobs will come off the commissioner's exempl list and return. Uh then we get
22:47to Austin Neckler who played 26% of the snaps. He was kind of the third down back and stuff for the Washington
22:53Commanders. My long down and distance numbers must have gotten messed up there. I don't know why that is. Jaory Kroski Merit man, it's just not
23:00happening. They will play anyone other than Jaka Kroski Merit. So with Rashad White out, hey, if you are desperately in need of 4.7 PPR points, Austin Eckler
23:09can do that for you. Troy Franklin ran 39% of the routes after Pat Bryant left the game with an ankle sprain. Pat
23:15Bryant is probably going to miss about a month of the season. Troy Franklin is going to get his routes. The issue is
23:20Troy Franklin is not as good as Pat Bryant. But again, in very deep leagues, if you're trying to buy some routes, you
23:25can do Troy Franklin. Roshan Johnson, I mentioned him because DeAndre Swift left in the third quarter after fumbling. And then apparently at the very end of the
23:34game, Kyle Manungai injured his hand.
23:36That is according to head coach Ben Johnson. If Kyle Manungai were to miss time, I mean, we know the Bears are just
23:43absolutely running the air out of the ball. Roshan Johnson has had limited fantasy football value before. He could have limited fantasy football value
23:50again. You obviously don't feel that good about it. But if Kyle Manungi were to miss time, I mean, if Kyle Manungai
23:55broke his thumb on his primary hand, that is not particularly great for carrying the ball. We'll get more information about that. And then Eftton
24:02Chisum had one of the most impressive touchdown catches I have ever seen. Uh his final the final touchdown catch, the one if you have not seen it, the crazy
24:11one-handed touchdown reception. He ran 43% of the routes and got 10% of the targets. Matt Collins got banged up in this game, which then leaves the
24:18Patriots with I mean the Patriots wide receiver room, it's got to be one of the worst in the NFL at this stage. We still
24:25do not have AJ Brown back, M. Collins got banged up. So, their wide receivers would be M I guess it would be Romeo
24:30Dubs, Deario Douglas, Effan Chisum with Kyle Williams as like a rotational guy.
24:35Again, we're not going crazy, but hey, I I mean, 75% of their routes with my guy Drake May, and they have a good matchup
24:43this week against the Raiders. I I think we've all done worse. Real quick notes here for Superflex. Tyler Huntley is going to be a top pick up in Superflex
24:50leagues. The Baltimore Ravens have a really good matchup this week. And it sounds like there's a chance that Lamar Jackson misses multiple weeks, but the
24:58Ravens play in the dome against the Falcons. Shout out to the Baklava Bomber, Athen Calamanicus.
25:05I have never been so astonished watching a guy I've never seen play an NFL game before. Every time this guy, the Baklava
25:13bomber, dropped back, he was trying to throw 70 yard bombs. Jaden Daniels is apparently returning to practice and hoping to play this upcoming week for
25:20the Commanders. We'll see, you know, we'll see that the guy had a full immobilizing brace on his arm last week. We'll see.
25:29Uh but and then Marcus Mariota is expected to miss a little bit of time.
25:33The reason why I included Carson Wentz here was I've been down this road with Kyler Murray before. I I think Kyler
25:39Murray, despite the Vikings being 4-0, I think Kyler Murray is heading towards being benched. The Vikings are 31st in the NFL in yards per play. Two of their
25:47wins came without an offensive touchdown. Although that stat is fake because TJ Hawinson could have scored a touchdown against the Dolphins if he
25:54wanted to and just choose to kneel down and end the game on offense as he said.
25:59But these are three guys I'm interested in in superflex formats. Our streaming defenses very easy this week. The Cincinnati Bengals. They are 23% owned
26:07on Yahoo. We definitely want to pick them up. Any defense against the Miami Dolphins is tops in fantasy football.
26:13The Dallas Cowboys play on Thursday night against Jaylen Daniels. We saw how poor Jaylen Daniels was in that game this last week. And you know, he was
26:21maybe a little bit more of a gamer than I even thought, but I am just really really concerned that Jaylen Daniels is
26:26just going to be too turnoverprone. I know people always say like, "Oh, you can't pick up bad defenses. The Cowboys defense sucks." Look, man, these
26:33quarterbacks are worse than some of these bad defenses. We have the Indianapolis Colts. They play against the Steelers. The reason why we like the
26:40Colts is the freaking Steelers throw the air out of the ball. I mean, they are going to be setting pass rate over
26:47expectation records this year, the Pittsburgh Steelers. and Aaron Rodgers, you know, he can he can still turn it back like once every four pass attempts
26:54and look like Peak Rogers, but the overall Steelers offense has been very underwhelming. And then the Cleveland Browns get to play at the New York Jets
27:01this week. The Browns defense been a little bit better than I expected. And Gino without Adnai Mitchell, I know it sounds crazy, but without Adai Mitchell,
27:09uh, and without Bree Hall, the straw that stirs the drink, um, it's it's not been it's not been near as good. I I'm
27:15worried about the Jets offense. Our streaming kickers pretty easy this week.
27:18Daniel Carlson in the dome. That one's very easy. Chad Ryland, I think, is going to be a top top top pickup. Very
27:25high total in that game. 53 and a half point total. It's the highest total of the week by I think six overall points
27:32for the Arizona Cardinals and the Detroit Lions. Feel very good about Chad Ryland. And then Dominic Zvada for the New York Giants gets to play at the
27:39Washington Commanders. If the Baklaba bomber starts this game, I would expect it to be a pretty good performance for the New York Giants. and Zabata is like
27:471% owned in fantasy football. And then we have our drop list which you guys have asked for. Tank is an obvious drop.
27:53Pat Bryant is an obvious drop with the ankle injury. Jaylen Wright to me a very obvious drop. I mean just didn't play.
27:58Olly Gordon was way ahead of him. What are you saving the running back two for on the Miami Dolphins? Like if you won
28:04Jaylen Wright on waiverss last week, go ahead and pick up one of the Eagles guys. Pick up Joe Mixon there. Like I
28:09don't know what you're hoping for with Jaylen Wright. Khif Raymond very easy drop. Two points last week. That experience is going to be over.
28:15Dantavian Wix 97% of the routes, four points. I would rather have Mai Lemon.
28:20Uh Taj Spears has been out carried 51 to 15 against Tony Pard, you know, losing snaps. He's he's just a third down back
28:28on a terrible team. I I would rather find some upside there. Michael Pitman Jr. has been running a ton of routes,
28:33but I think Jeremy Bernard is coming for him. And then also, very surprisingly, Roman Wilson just like absolutely target per routeout run mogging Michael Pitman
28:41Jr. I really liked Michael Pitman Jr. as a as a you know overall ad as a as a draft guy this year and that's just
28:48going to be very wrong. Uh you know Pat Frymouth is going to be better than him and Jeremy is very specifically coming
28:53for his job. Jawan Jennings I I mean you know without Justin Jefferson did absolutely nothing just not happening for Jawan Jennings. George Helani with
29:01the mixon signing. He's clearly just a third down and distance back. Emanuel Wilson way ahead of him. Kyler Murray as I mentioned I mean I'm just not going to
29:08be starting him. I drafted Kyler Murray as a starter in multiple leagues. I think he is a pretty easy drop as we get
29:13to the by-weeks here. And then we got Jake Ferguson. All the routes but none of the targets. You know, I I would I
29:19I'll have Tyler Higgby be ranked ahead of Jake Ferguson this upcoming week. He just cannot earn enough targets. He's on the field every single snap and the guy
29:26has like a on the year he has a 10 and a half% target share. He he's getting mogged by Ryan Florenoi. So that is the
29:33week five fantasy football waiverwire. I will answer as many questions as possible down in the comments below. If you want to guarantee yourself getting a
