Insight pageAustin Ekeler
NegativeUsage30:22
Austin Ekeler is currently in a backfield to monitor alongside Rachaad White due to injury concerns. The source indicates that if Ekeler were to lead the backfield without sharing time with White, he would become a viable fantasy option.
Insight pageBrock Bowers

Cyrus Allen is a recommended stash candidate who has earned trust from Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, with beat reporters showing high enthusiasm for his potential, though he may occupy a role similar to Tyquan Thornton.
Insight pageDameon Pierce
PositiveProjection25:41
Dameon Pierce is a recommended add who could serve as a top-20 running back play this week against Carolina, a defense that has allowed high rush totals. The source projects a potential 75 rushing yard and 20 receiving yard performance given his expected workload.
Insight pageDemario Douglas
NegativeUsage73:24
The source suggests Demario Douglas's recent two-touchdown performance was likely a one-off, advising against chasing his production compared to the more consistent usage expected for Efton Chism.

PositiveSleeper3:53
Fernando Mendoza is a recommended stash candidate due to the high-upside, fantasy-friendly environment of the Raiders' offense, which features elite target earner Brock Bowers.
Insight pageIsaiah Likely
PositiveUsage10:08
Isaiah Likely is a primary target earner in the passing game, benefiting from high target totals and slot utilization.
Insight pageJaleel McLaughlin
PositiveUsage23:00
Jaleel McLaughlin is recommended as an emergency deep-league running back play for the current week, given his pass-catching ability and the potential for a one-week opportunity due to backfield injuries.
Insight pageJalen Hurts
NegativeInjury7:27
Jalen Hurts is dealing with a potential injury of unknown duration, creating a need for fantasy managers to look for quarterback stashes.
Insight pageJalen McMillan
PositiveBreakout33:32
Jalen McMillan is the top waiver wire add for the week following a career-high performance that included nine targets, receiving yards, and a rush attempt, showcasing his versatile usage as a featured weapon.
Insight pageJalen Royals
PositiveSleeper36:52
Jalen Royals is a recommended waiver wire add and stash candidate who could potentially fill a role similar to Rashee Rice in the Chiefs' offense.
Insight pageJameis Winston
PositiveProjection0:51
Jameis Winston is a recommended Week 6 streaming option. He is coming off a strong performance with 327 passing yards and three touchdowns, totaling six touchdown passes over his last two games. He faces a favorable matchup against a Saints defense that is allowing 30.2 points per game.
Insight pageJaylin Noel
PositiveSleeper76:45
The source recommends stashing Jaylen Noel, citing his recent production of 12 and 15 fantasy points in consecutive weeks. He operates in the slot and is expected to benefit from the Texans' offensive matchup against Jacksonville.
Insight pageJosh Downs
NegativeProjection33:22
Despite pre-season enthusiasm, Josh Downs has been disappointing and is currently being outproduced by Keenan Allen in terms of catch volume.
Insight pageKeenan Allen
PositiveSleeper32:25
Keenan Allen is a recommended wide receiver streamer and stash candidate for depth-challenged rosters. He is a solid start for Week 6, especially if Tyler Warren is out, and has outproduced Josh Downs in recent games while expected to see significant target volume.
Insight pageKendrick Bourne
PositiveSleeper75:28
The source identifies Kendrick Bourne as a potential streamer and the primary beneficiary of the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade. He has recorded two eight-target games this season and is expected to operate out of the slot.
Insight pageKeon Coleman
PositiveSleeper35:09
Keon Coleman should be rostered and is in play for Buffalo if DJ Moore sits, despite recent low pass volume. While some view him as a volatile asset with limited productive weeks in redraft, he remains a recommended stash for dynasty managers.
Insight pageKimani Vidal
PositiveSleeper20:29
The source ranks Kimani Vidal highly as a stash candidate, citing his recent efficiency (5.0 and 7.1 yards per carry over the last two weeks) and his potential to eventually earn a full workload in a chaotic Chargers backfield.
Insight pageKirk Cousins
PositiveProjection2:03
Kirk Cousins is a recommended low-end QB1 streamer for Week 6. Despite recent struggles, he faces a Buffalo defense allowing 298 passing yards and 100 fantasy points per game in a high-total 53-point game. He is also noted as a potential source for long touchdown passes to Trey Tucker.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
PositiveUsage10:08
Malik Nabers is a key beneficiary of the team's consolidated target share and is being utilized effectively in the slot.
Insight pageMarShawn Lloyd
PositiveSleeper27:35
MarShawn Lloyd is in play as a fantasy option this week against a Dallas defense that has been consistently exploited by opposing running backs. The source notes Lloyd's ability to catch passes out of the backfield and confirms he has overtaken Preston Strong on the depth chart; fantasy managers should look to start him in the high-scoring Dallas-Green Bay matchup.
Insight pageNico Collins
PositiveProjection13:33
Nico Collins is labeled an 'elite' player who is back to full health; the source predicts he will 'smash' this week and projects him as a top-two wide receiver overall.
Insight pagePat Freiermuth
PositiveRole44:18
Pat Freiermuth is a recommended waiver add and borderline TE1, averaging 12 PPR points per game with four touchdowns on the season. His role is solidified by a season-high seven targets last week, benefiting from increased opportunity due to Michael Pittman Jr. being on IR and Roman Wilson's injury.
Insight pageRachaad White
NegativeUsage30:22
The source suggests monitoring the Tampa Bay backfield, noting that both Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler are dealing with practice limitations. If one is ruled out, the remaining back becomes a highly viable fantasy start.
Insight pageRoman Wilson
Romeo Doubs
NegativeUsage73:40
Romeo Doubs is described as a frustrating fantasy asset with inconsistent production, following promising weeks with disappointing performances, such as his 2.6-point outing against Vegas.
Insight pageSamaje Perine
PositiveSleeper11:52
The source advises stashing Samaje Perine, highlighting his efficiency as a runner (110 yards on 27 attempts) compared to Chase Brown and his potential to be a top-15 running back if he were to inherit the lead role due to his pass-catching ability.
Insight pageTre Tucker
NegativeSleeper42:46
Trey Tucker is a deep-league streamer or DFS gutshot play who could benefit from a long touchdown pass, though the source notes that expecting a 40-yard score and bragging about starting him is unlikely to happen.
Insight pageTrey McBride
NegativeMatchup15:08
The source advises tempering expectations for Trey McBride this week, noting that the Rams have been effective at limiting tight ends and have not allowed a top-12 finish to the position all season, though McBride remains a high-end talent.
Insight pageTyler Allgeier
PositiveUsage14:01
The source recommends Tyler Allgeier as a strong fantasy add and streamer, noting he is expected to absorb the touches previously held by Jeremiah Love and will benefit from significant volume and pass-catching opportunities out of the backfield.
Insight pageTyler Warren
NegativeInjury31:51
Tyler Warren is dealing with a groin injury as of Friday. While there is hope he will play, his status is uncertain, and fantasy managers should prepare a pivot option at the tight end position.
Insight pageTyrone Tracy
PositiveSleeper19:48
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is recommended as a stash candidate. The source notes that the team is moving away from Cam Akers and that Tracy has shown promise as a pass-catcher in a more open offense led by Jameis Winston, positioning him to take on a larger role.
Insight pageWan'Dale Robinson
PositiveUsage33:23
Wan'Dale Robinson is a viable streamer for Week 6 due to consistent target volume, including 11 targets in Week 3 and 7 targets in Week 5. Despite team struggles, he is expected to be highly utilized against Indianapolis.

Episode Transcript
0:00fantasy football sleepers, players to stream and players to stash. I'm talking to some of you managers out there who are in emergency territory who need to
0:10cram a couple players in their lineup and are looking for like the best possible options that are widely available even in competitive leagues.
0:18I'm also talking to a couple of you managers who are chilling right now who are trying to get a head start on next
0:24week's waiverwire and want to stash a couple of players maybe before they have strong week sixes. We do this every week. People enjoy this one. We try to
0:33get things right and I think this is like if we look at like the landscape of fantasy football this week, we're
0:39looking at like why you grind on the waiverwire. This is a Woody Marks week.
0:46This is a Brilin Allen week. There's going to be other running backs we talk about on this show that are going to get
0:51their opportunity, but you're starting to see it each and every week. Maybe you use Jameus Winston last week. Uh there's so many players that were just scooped
1:02up and put up these solid numbers. Like as good as we are at prognosticating, doing projections, doing weekly rankings, there's going to be players
1:12who fall through the cracks and put up big numbers that are not widely used.
1:17And those sort of players can really provide an edge to fantasy managers.
1:23Let's start out at the quarterback position. Stream Kirk Cousins. This is a lowhanging fruit one. And this is a
1:32story that was really, really fun for a couple of weeks. And it was Kurt Cousins getting off to this remarkably good
1:39start. It was the Las Vegas Raiders getting off to a tremendous start in Clint Kubak's first year as the head coach. 3-0 start. They're scoring at
1:49will. And now the wheels are starting to fall off a little bit. The Raiders are starting to get exposed a little bit. We
1:56knew that this wasn't going to be a team that was great, but there was the hope and optimism provided by Cousins strong
2:03start. Miami week one, three touchdowns.
2:07The Chargers week two, probably like the high mark of the season because at that time we thought LA was going to be good.
2:14The Raiders beat them. They handled things. Three touchdowns for Cousins.
2:18Then week four, three, they beat the Saints in New Orleans. Everyone's feeling fantastic. Week four, we expected them to lose, but they hung
2:26around with the Chiefs. Lose by seven.
2:28Then you get to week five, New England just beat down. Absolute beatd down.
2:33Cousins gets 243 passing yards and a touchdown. Fernando Mendoza comes in in this one. And that should sort of like it's like sort of like uh everybody hold
2:43their breath because the change is coming. But when is the change coming?
2:48Cousins has an opportunity this week in week six against Buffalo to save his job. It's a tall task. The Bills are
2:56really, really good offensively and the Bills are 6 and a half point favorites.
3:01Next week, the LA Rams are probably going to be similar six point favorites, maybe a little bit more. So, the Raiders
3:08are up against it, but this game has a total of 47 1/2 points. One of the highest totals on the board. Raiders are
3:144 and 1/2 point home dogs. So, you've got a chance. Excuse me. This is a uh this is actually popped. It's popped to
3:2353. I misread that total. So, we're not even going to edit it. You guys caught me slipping on that one. But, the game
3:29is is going to fly over potentially. The Buffalo Bills have given up uh 298 passing yards a game. That's like the
3:38top of the league. And when we look at the Buffalo defense, Drake May just went off. Matthew Stafford just went off.
3:46Jared Goff a couple weeks ago went off.
3:49All putting up huge, huge numbers against this Bills defense. The Bills give up 28 points per game. Uh, and a great stat from Ryan McDall. I
3:58referenced this with Jacob Gibbs on our bold prediction show. You can check that one out. If you're listening on the pod
4:04feed, it's the previous show, same as YouTube. The Buffalo Bills give up 100 points per game. 100 fantasy points per game. This is it. It's Kirk Cousins.
4:13Kurt Cousins trying to save his job. The Raiders trying to get a massive home win. They've got a two-eek stretch here
4:20and it's like a prove it stretch.
4:21Everybody's writing him off completely.
4:24But Cousins, if he wins this game against Buffalo, then he's holding on to this job for a number of weeks. It would
4:29be a huge like boost to him. So, we're going to consider him to be a low-end QB1 this week. Stream Kirk Cousins. The
4:37other play stash Fernando Mendoza. A lot of you out there at the quarterback position are struggling. You've lost Jackson Dart. You've lost potentially
4:47Jaylen Herz for we don't know how long.
4:51Tanner Mucky comes in this week. Uh it's a bad scene. It was a blood clot. We don't know a lot about it. I'm sure I'm
4:58going to cover it with Deepak Chona uh when we do our injury show next week.
5:02Make sure you check out everything um that we're putting out there. A lot of fun. Um but scary stuff in the
5:08quarterback position. We want upside.
5:09So, we're going to stash for Nana Mendoza. We already see how fantasy friendly this offense can be. And you have a weapon of mass destruction in
5:18Brock Bowers getting a near 30% target share. Unbelievable metrics. Uh Bowowers looks like I mean Bowowers would be the wide receiver three overall right now.
5:30Uh in terms of points per game, that's how good he is. So, M Fernando Mendoza could have a chance to come into a great
5:36situation. We want to stash him. stream Jameus Winston 327 passing yards, three passing touchdowns. Giants come back and tie Washington last week. This week they
5:48go up against the New Orleans Saints.
5:50Saints have given up 30.2 points per game. I mean, the Saints have been especially generous to opposing running backs. And we'll talk about some
5:59running backs for New York a little bit later, but 30.2 points per game. And you've got this incredibly incredibly
6:08effective consolidated target share to Malik Neighbors and to Isaiah likely.
6:15Two players getting very high target totals. Two players getting utilized inside of the slot and two players that Winston has really really unlocked. The
6:25team's also gotten away from being Cam Scataboocentric and way more into this passing game. And if we look at uh
6:34Winston over the last two weeks, he had 250 passing yards and three touchdowns against Arizona and then again three last week with even more yards against
6:44Washington. So six touchdown passes over his last two weeks played. And he also had five rush attempts for 27 yards last
6:50week, which is not something we can expect, but it's nice to see. The Giants have a winning record. They're feeling good about things and they're facing off
6:58against the one in4 Saints in New York at Metife. Jamus is on the streaming radar. Do I like him less than Kirk
7:06Cousins? Yes. But for a lot of you who are in a bind here, maybe playing catch-up, maybe you had a Jaylen Herz,
7:13maybe you're sort of a little bit nervous about some other quarterbacks and maybe you were hoping for Lamar Jackson to come back this week,
7:20something like that, and you're scrambling. Jameus Winston viable as a streamer this week as well.
7:28Uh CJ Strad, we want to stash CJ Strad and if I'm in a real bind, I'm going to consider using him. Jacksonville hasn't
7:38given up a lot of touchdown passes. This is the problem with sort of streaming CJ Strad this week. But in terms of passing
7:46yardage, Strad is having a tremendous runout this year. Uh he's really playing well. This is the most pass happy we've ever seen a CJ St. Well, we saw it as a
7:57rookie, but it was a little bit more of rookie year was a little bit more of a of a 50/50 split. It was a very balanced
8:03offense, but he did have guys like Tank Dell, Nico Collins, like uh the really strong stuff from from the wide receiver
8:10position in Houston his rookie year. But I think we're back to that. Nico Collins is an elite elite player. He has Nico
8:18Collins back playing healthy. Nico is going to smash this week. I called out a wide receiver two overall week for Nico.
8:24That's how much I like him on the bold prediction show. Then you get Jaylen Null, who we're going to talk about in a
8:30little bit, who's been playing really well out of the slot. Woody Marks at the running back position instead of David Montgomery. So you get a more of a
8:37passcatching threat there. And CJ Stout himself has been playing really well.
8:43142 passing yards on the season is the fourth most in the NFL behind only Matthew Stafford, Jared Goth, and Jordan
8:52Love. So Strad is at 1,400 plus passing yards on the season. A huge, huge win for him. And when we look at the
9:00Jacksonville Jaguars defense, they haven't been giving up touchdowns, but they have been giving up a ton of passing yards. They've allowed the third
9:09most passing yards of any team this season. Um, again, only four touchdown passes they've allowed. The Jacksonville has been a really a lights out defense,
9:18but I like Houston's chances this week.
9:21I think that they're going to pull the upset. The game is in London. We know that Jacksonville was fortunate last week, and we know that the uh the the
9:28Texans have a losing record, but it's a weird uh point spread. It's like two and a half points. It's the Texans as a two
9:35and a half point dog to a Jacksonville team that's 4- one. So you've got a one-4 team catching two and a half in a
9:42de facto road game because it's in London, but the the Jacksonville Jaguars played their back-to-back weeks and they're sort of like used to this London
9:50runout. So 2 and a half point underdog Texans. The total's like 42. I like Houston in this one and I think that CJ
9:59Strad's going to look really really good doing it. Uh so quarterback there's a couple of viable plays this week. also mention uh Aaron Rodgers is probably a I
10:09prefer him less than the other guys, but if you're in desperation mode, he's a gutshot here because he's had three straight like quarterback one finishes
10:20and three straight uh games where he's had three passing touchdowns. And the thing that we like the most about Aaron Rogers is he's had 31 pass attempts in
10:29every single game this season. So, the pass volume is exceptional for Rogers.
10:35We'll also mention to stash Deshawn Watson. Uh the Jets pass rush is elite and the Jets completely annihilated the Browns. Eight sacks last week, but
10:45they're they're sort of a live dog here and I know that you're looking for quarterback depth. Watson as a QB2. I
10:51think we're going to stash him there.
10:53Catch every drive, every play, and every touchdown poolside stadium swim at Circa Resort and Casino in downtown Las Vegas.
11:00Take it all in from six temperature controlled pools. Or claim your place in a lounge chair, daybed, or private cabana. With a massive 143 ft screen and
11:09immersive audio, you won't just watch the action, you'll feel it. Make Stadium Swim at Circa Resort and Casino your game day ritual. Reserve your spot in
11:17the sun today at circa vegas.com.
11:21Now, let's talk about the running back position. again, generational week for just grinding the waiverwire, rostering backup running backs and then
11:32using them. We're going to mention that we want to stash Sam Perine. I talked about him in the Waverwire show. I had
11:40him ranked very highly in my Waverwire column. I don't know if this is going to be the new normal, but I do know that
11:47Jeremy Bernard fumbled last week and Sam P. Ryan got a huge workload against the Miami Dolphins. He had his best game of
11:54the year as a runner. He also caught a touchdown pass. And on the season, Chase Brown has 71 rush attempts for 246 yards
12:04and a touchdown. Sam Pine has 27 rush attempts for 110 yards. So way more efficient as a runner. Perine looks
12:14good. Now Chase Brown has a 15% target share which has really boosted his fantasy numbers, but 11 of his catches came in a single game. He also had a
12:24five catch game. So 16 of his catches came in in two games played. Now again, I I I hate cherrypicking these kind of
12:32stats and I know, you know, we can sort of like sample size our way to saying whatever we want. I hate that stuff. So
12:38Brown getting 11 catches in a game, that's a good thing. It's not like a negative we're holding against him. But when Cincinnati comes out of a by-week,
12:46they're good enough offense that we want to stash Sam Perine on the chance that maybe he's got some spot starts in him.
12:53And we know that if Chase Brown were to miss time, Perine would be a locked and loaded top 15 running back because of
13:00the quality of the offense and his ability to catch passes. So we want to stash Sam Perine even on his by week.
13:07Uh, and re regarding by weeks, just a quick reminder, we want to try to be a week ahead. The Bengals are on a buy
13:14this week, Detroit's on a buy, Miamiy's on a buy, and the Minnesota's on a buy.
13:18Next week, Buffalo, Jacksonville, the Chargers, and the Commanders are on byweeks. Jaden Daniels, Josh Allen, James Cook, Parker Washington, Bashel
13:29Tutin. Be prepared for these players.
13:31And especially be prepared for guys if you're using some of these secondary weapons, guys like a Brenton Strange.
13:37you don't want to catch up to you. A Dalton Concade who's been struggling, don't let that thing catch up to you.
13:41So, keep an eye on this. Week nine, we get like a little bit of like a sigh of relief. Only two teams on buys, but then
13:48week 11 is the gauntlet, the six by-week game. So, again, we're looking way ahead here, but we want to like look one week
13:55ahead. I think that's the way to sort of save yourself some fab. We talk about on the Waverwire show each and every week.
14:01other running backs. We're streaming Tyler Algier and I get the matchup is scary, but this is a big opportunity for Tyler Alier. Jeremiah Love is not
14:11playing. We expect this is going to be a short-term absence for Jeremiah Love, but you never know. The season spiraling out of control for the Cardinals.
14:20They're 1 and4. Um, and they are playing the Rams this week. Now, the Rams are, hold your breath, 12 point favorites in
14:28LA. So, this is not a game that favors Arizona getting a bunch of rush attempts, but if you look at the number
14:36of touches Jeremiah Love had in week four and in week three, look for Tyler Algier to absorb all of them. Alier is
14:46going to have volume on his side and he's going to have the ability to catch passes out of the back field. Now,
14:52Kendrick Bourne in the slot, Michael Wilson, and Trey McBride. There's uh going to be a lot of consolidation, especially between Wilson and McBride.
15:02But we'll add a little asterisk here that the Rams have not allowed a top 12 tight end week on the season. Trey
15:09McBride's going to get a tight end one week. He's a different kind of player, but they they are very effective at
15:17covering opposing tight ends. Now, Trey McBride, again, again, a massive litmus test. They get McBride and they get Bowowers backto-back weeks. So that
15:24streak will end for the Rams most likely. But we sort of have to temper expectations that Trey McBride doesn't drop like a 20-pointer this week. I
15:33think we'll I'll take like the under on a 20point PPR week for McBride, creating opportunities for other players. So we're looking at Tyler Algier. We're
15:41also looking at Damen Pierce. And Damen Pierce last week the the uh scoring was awful. You can't run on the Jacksonville
15:49Jaguars. I talked about it on multiple shows this week. I'm going to sort of bore you guys by saying the same stat
15:53over and over again, but it's been 20 plus games since Jacksonville's given up a 75 yard runner. And Pierce this week
16:00though, you have uh versus Carolina, a much easier runout for him. He had 13 touches last week. Um you've got this
16:11opportunity for him to take on a massive workload. Carolina has been generous versus opposing running backs and they've allowed a number of very high
16:20rush totals. So, this could be a 75 rushing yards, maybe a 20 uh receiving yards week for for Damen Pierce. They're
16:30also going to try to protect um Mucky as their new quarterback with Jaylen Herz out. And Pierce is going to get like a
16:37really strong workload. Now, can he be a top 20 play at running back this week? I I think he can. I prefer Tyler Algier to
16:46him, but Damen Pierce should be rostered everywhere, should be added. Uh we'll mention the uh we'll mention that Josh Jacobs just got cleared off the
16:55commissioner's exempt list, but Marshon Lloyd is in play this week. Uh he had two touchdowns last week, and you've got Dallas this week, and Dallas has been
17:06getting absolutely annihilated by opposing running backs. We saw what Bucky Irving was able to do against Dallas. And we know that we know that
17:15the the offensive line play for Green Bay has its limitations, but Dallas is like the great equalizer for allowing opposing running backs to put up huge
17:24numbers. I mean, we saw what Bucky Irving was able to do. It was Derk Henry. Uh certainly like the Dallas can
17:32be very generous to opposing running backs and we know that Marshon Lloyd can also catch the ball out of the back
17:37field. P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P Pre Strong has like overtaken uh
17:41Caleb Johnson. So, it's clearly Marshon Lloyd. We know Josh Jacobs is going to be back, but this is probably going to
17:47be the last time we mention Marshon Lloyd other than like him being a stash.
17:51Uh so, I think Marshon Lloyd very much in play. This is a extremely fantasy friendly game. The total is 53 and a
17:59half and the Green Bay Packers are short home favorites. So, Packers are 1 and a half point home favorites in this one.
18:07This is a game that could fly over uh two two offenses we really like. And Green Bay, I know last week sort of shut
18:14things down defensively against Chicago, but I think Dallas is going to score some points in this one. So, we're looking at Marshon Lloyd in this one.
18:22Uh, another backfield to monitor here, Rashad White and Austin Eckler. And this is a tough one because both of these guys are banged up as well. Limitations
18:33at practice. But both if one of if one of these two is out and we already have Jakori Kroski Merritt missing practice
18:41this week. He's all banged up. If you get a run out where Rashad White or Eckler is like leading the backfield and
18:47doesn't have to deal with the other one, then this becomes a really viable one.
18:51So hopefully we get some clarity on Saturday or maybe on Sunday morning here and you could scoop up one of these guys
18:58before the Sunday games start. It's a weird schedule because you have the 9:30 in the A.M. uh London game on Sunday
19:05morning for East Coasters and then the San Francisco Tampa Bay game or excuse me San Francisco Washington game is Monday Night Football. So you've got the
19:1449ers have allowed the most catches to opposing running backs. So it's an interesting one there. Now, talking about running backs to stash, I wish I
19:24could recommend a guy as a streamer here. Um, but you've got a kind of I think it's a backfield that's sort of in
19:31flux here. You've got the Saints who have been shredded by opposing running backs. This is more of like a beat next
19:38week's waiverwire type recommendation rather than a I want to scream these guys cuz I don't trust either one of these guys. But Tyrone Tracy and Naji
19:48Harris, pick your fighter here and let's let's stash one of them. Um because this backfield feels like they're getting
19:56away from Cam Scataboo like like a lot right now. Um and when you look at Scataboo's role is sort of like
20:04diminishing and you've got a chance for Tyrone Tracy to take on a larger role.
20:10We've talked about the offense being like a little more open uh with this pass game with Jameus Winston. Tracy looked good catch catching the ball in a
20:17limited sample size last week. Then you got Naji Harris. Could he fall in the end zone this week? Uh there's a chance
20:23that one of them becomes a waiverwire ad next week. So if you've got a spot at the end of your roster, go ahead and
20:29grab one of these guys. We're also going to mention Kamani Vidal as another player that we want to stash. I don't
20:35trust any Charger. I don't trust any Charger, but I had Kamani Vidal very highly ranked as a waiverwire ad this week. Um, this is Harbaugh's guy and
20:45this is a team that can't win at all, but if we look at the last two weeks, 11.6 points for Vidal in week four, 12.6
20:53for Vidal in week five. Slow drip, but 57 rushing yards in week five, and he had a receiving touchdown in week four.
21:01He looks like he has the most juice in this backfield. rushing yards per game or excuse me yards per carry over the
21:08last two weeks, a five yards per carry week and then a 7.1 yards per carry week. So Vidal is running with like some
21:16juice right now and this backfield is just complete chaos disaster. Omarian Hampton, Katon Mitchell, but at some point does Harbaugh just give one of
21:25these guys like a full workload? I made the same argument for Katon Mitchell weeks ago. So, I feel like we're just
21:30chasing a Chargers running back, but we saw it last year with Vidal. Vidal had great success over like a four or five
21:38week period for Harbaugh last year when Omarian Hampton was out. Do they just roll out Vidal at some point? What What
21:45would we what would waiverwire managers pay with Fab next week if we get a 15 carry week from Vidal this week? Now,
21:53it's against Kansas City. It's no picnic. We expect Kansas City to get a win and maybe get an easy win, but I do
22:02think when we look at Vidal, uh there's some life here and it's an offense that's lifeless. So, we want to chase
22:09these sort of players with juice. We'll also mention, we're going to talk tight ends in a minute, but Kansas City has
22:17been generous to opposing tight ends. I just don't see a Chargers tight end that I really trust this week. So, I'm not
22:23mentioning one on the show, but it does feel like we could see increased usage for Kamani Vidal. Um, and I think he
22:32could be talked about by a lot of people on the waiverwire this week. We talked about him on the show this week. So,
22:38Damen Pierce, Tyler Algier, we talked about Sam Perine, a number of these running backs. Now, go and check out the rest of your Oh, and I'll mention this
22:46one. This is like kind of the gross one.
22:49Cleveland, Jalo Mccclaclin, Audrey Estame was signed. I think there'll be some potential for Estay to like pull off a Damen Pierce, but Judkins is
23:00completely banged up. And you've got Jal McLaclin as a potentially in play this week. Dylan Samson needs to be stashed, but he is not ready to come off the IR.
23:12So Dylan Samson, we want to stash. I think a lot of people are going to talk about Dylan Samson next week on the
23:17waiverwire, but Jal McLaclin is the one this week that could get a decent role.
23:25Now, he's done nothing this year this year. Like, absolutely nothing. He has two total carries on the season. Like, two total carries. I'm not hyperbole. He
23:33has two carries. Um, but we're in strange times where some of you are just chasing it at the running back position
23:40and you're laughing at me when I recommend a guy like Tyler Algier.
23:44You're like, Theo, he's been drafted in the 10th round in my league weeks ago.
23:48Like, what are you doing, man? Um, so Jal McGlaughlin, is that deep enough? I Jal McGlaughlin, we remember, he had a a
23:56a very good success catching the football in Denver. Has a oneweek opportunity here. Maybe the game flow lends itself. I mean, you've got to be
24:04down really bad, but that's sort of like the complete emergency gutshot straight uh chase it running back play for like the true sickos in true deep leagues.
24:15So, we are talking sleepers. We might as go really deep sleepers right here. And then after that, we want to check our
24:21waiverwire. Next man in handcuffs. I don't know your league. I don't know how deep your league is. I don't know the
24:27guys available on your wire, but the Brilan Allen Woody Marks lessons learned here, we want to chase it with like for
24:36like replacements at handcuff running back. We don't want to chase potential committees, but when it's a player who could come in and take on a full
24:45workload and those guys sort of present themselves, we want to stash them. So, do a onceover. Check out these back fields. Mentioned Samson, a couple of
24:53these guys, but running back's an interesting one. Let's talk tight end because it's a really really short list.
24:59There's really no one to talk about at tight end this week. Tyler Higgby is a streamer this week. He's been awesome.
25:05Higgby has been um one of the best ads in tight end premium leagues this year because you've gotten three very strong
25:13starts from Tyler Higgby and I think it continues again this week against Arizona. But Tyler Higgby, it's like a turn back the clock season for Higgby.
25:2311 targets in week three. catches eight of them. Six targets in week four catches five of them. Another six targets in week five in excuse me in
25:32week four catches five balls. Week five catches five passes. So he has 18 catches over his last three games played and he's had at least 62 receiving yards
25:44in every one of them. And last week against Buffalo had a season high 83 receiving yards. So we're feeling really good about things with Tyler Higgby. I
25:54think we'll continue to use him. I think he's a borderline tight end one this week. I've seen some people ranking him
25:59down as like a mid tight end two. I think we ride the hot hand. I think a lot of it's kind of reflective of if
26:07you're doing projections are are difficult with the Rams because everyone this week is projecting a massive week from Kairen Williams. There's also
26:16enthusiasm for Blake Cororm as like a potential he finds the end zone kind of guy. And then Puka is Puka. He's like
26:25unbelievable. And then you got Dvonte Adams who's been on a heater. Both the wide receivers played well. So like the projections experts can't really put
26:33Higgby way up there because it like the pie is only so big in terms of projections, but all it takes is Higgby
26:40to get a little bit off of the plate from Puka or a little bit off of Dvonte Adams plate in terms of like pass
26:47catching ability. Um and and Higgby has the ability to sort of do exactly what he's done over the last three weeks. So,
26:53we like using him. And then the other player that's really a borderline tight end one right now, we talked about Aaron
26:59Rogers. One of the biggest beneficiaries of Aaron Rogers being very good at at throwing the football right now and this pass game being so uh high volume is Pat
27:09Frymouth who has four touchdown catches on the season. He's averaging 12 PPR points. So, Muth is fully there. We had him highly ranked as a Waverwire ad
27:20after week one. He was like a top three ad for us after week one. Hopefully you added him in week one. He had a really
27:26slow week two and week three, but he's been back over the last two weeks with touchdown catch against Cleveland and by all means that was a bailout. He
27:34only had 10.7 PPR points, but a bailout touchdown nonetheless. But then last week against Indianapolis, five catches for 44 yards and two touchdown grabs.
27:45Seven targets last week was a season high. And he even had a rush attempt, which it's weird. Muth has had three
27:53rush attempts this season. He's done nothing with him, but it sort of speaks to his role being a really solid one in
27:59this offense. And we have to remember Pittsburgh, Michael Pitman's on the IR, and now Roman Wilson is banged up. So Pat Frymouth very much in play. Uh, a
28:09quick note that this show is brought to you by Better. That's BETR. They are a great sponsor of all of my shows here at
28:17Rotoire. Go check out Better. It's an awesome place. They there's a lot of really cool stuff over there. Go check out the sports book. Uh check out all
28:25that stuff over at Better. That's BR.
28:28Download the app today. Uh let's continue talking about some of these uh sleepers, players you can stash. And let's look at the wide receiver position
28:37to kind of close things out here. Fun week at wide receiver. Uh, we are going to stream Keenan Allen. He's in he's a he's a
28:47contender to be a streamer and I think he needs to get stashed. If you're in a situation and you have strong wide
28:54receivers and you are laughing at me for saying a name like Keenan Allen, then you don't need to stream him. But if
28:59you're down bad looking for a dart throw, I think he's a fun one. Uh, Indianapolis looks like they're going to be very much in control of this game.
29:07Tennessee is a disaster right now. Uh the Tennessee Titans are really bad.
29:13They're 0 and5 and the Colts have a a se they're sevenpoint favorites at home in a 44 12 point total game which puts them
29:22at about 26 implied points total. Uh so this is a game where the the sports books really expect the Indianapolis Colts to roll and I think it's going to
29:31be a ton of Jonathan Taylor. But we have Tyler Warren now dealing with a groin injury. We think he'll play, but as of
29:39Friday, it's sort of up in the air.
29:40We're going to have to pay attention all week. If you have Tyler Warren, get ready to pivot at the tight end
29:45position. Keenan Allen is interesting.
29:48Over the last two weeks, we've seen a six catch or last two games cuz he missed the Washington game in London.
29:54He's had a six catch for 63 yards in the touchdown game against Houston and a five catches for 45 yards game against
30:02the Steelers. Josh DS, who there was like collective enthusiasm for among fantasy analysts, uh, has been very disappointing. So Allen has been
30:12outproducing Josh DS in back-to-back weeks, uh, excuse me, back-to-back games in terms of catches. And DS the week without Keenan Allen only had three
30:21catches. So like Josh DS is sort of a not an industry plant, like he's good at football, but his role is not going to
30:30be what we want it to be. Keenan Allens could be better than anticipated. So, if Tyler Warren doesn't play, Keenan Allen
30:36becomes a almost a I don't want to say strong start, but a very solid start this week against Tennessee. Uh we get a
30:45lot of first reads and had a chance to lead Indianapolis in in targets this week and catches. So, keep an eye on
30:50Keenan Allen. He should be rostered.
30:52Flat out should be rostered. Another player who could be in store on the opposite side of the ball as a streamer
30:59is Wel Robinson. And it's a player that I mean I draft a lot and a lot of you watch my live drafts. It's going really
31:07well. Have two teams in the top 30 top it was top 25 before Thursday night. Had two teams in the top 25 the NFC prime
31:16time. Have an undefeated uh FFPC main event team and have a silver bullet NFC team that's like top 15. So it's early.
31:25We're not victory lapping but it was pretty good process on a lot of these drafts. I feel like this could be a good
31:30year for me. But I also had some drafts where, you know, I have partners and stuff and, you know, when I drafted
31:36Wandel Robinson a couple times, it was never early, but he just became like a solid value and we're sort of seeing
31:43that. Um, week four was a disaster, but he still had a touchdown. He had three catches, one of them was a touchdown.
31:49Week three though, seven catches for 57 yards, and he had a touchdown catch. So, 11 targets in that one and he had 18.7
32:00points. Then week four, we talked about a disaster, but we got bailed out. We'll take it. 11 points there. And then last
32:06week, seven targets, catches six of them for 53 yards. So, not great, but again, it's by weeks. We're in by-week hell.
32:14And if I can get an 11point outcome, sometimes that helps me in in bi-week hell. I these by-weeks can be very, very
32:22tricky. And you potentially have a Jamar Chase, a T. Higgins team, an Aman Ross St. Brown team and you're down bad at
32:28wide receiver this week. Wandell has a decent matchup this week against Indianapolis. I think he'll be highly utilized. Carnell Tate. Um I mean really
32:38tough stuff from Tate. He's a really talented player. We saw the ceiling outcome in week four. Nine catches for 145 yards. We felt fantastic. And then
32:48we see the bottom last week. One catch for six yards. So the had five targets last week, but again it's going to be a
32:55roller coaster ride. Better things ahead for Carnell Tate. I think if you're a Dynasty manager, I mean my bags are packed for Carninal Tate in Dynasty. If
33:03any of you followed my content when I was at Fantasy Points, you know, like I had Tate really highly ranked. I was
33:08anytime I go on another show, I sort of talk about him. Uh he was a guy that I have a lot a lot of exposure to, but I'm
33:14not going to get anything out of it this year except for some fun weeks like week week four, but those are sort of going
33:19to be few and far between. Uh Well might be a little more consistent right now.
33:23Uh this offense is so bad, but the team is so bad. Tennessee disaster, but Wandell in play this week. My number one
33:32waiverwire ad this week was Jeremy Bernard. And we saw some big bids for Jeremy Bernard in FFPC main events in NFC prime times. Roman Wilson finger
33:44injury. Jeremy Bernard last week really good. Now DK Mechaf had Sas Gardner on him last week. So Jeremy had the better
33:53matchup. We saw Jeremy Bernard and Pat Frymouth and Jaylen Warren of course who's been unbelievable really benefiting from that. So DK last week a
34:03really slow run out for DK Mechaf against Indianapolis. DK Mechaf had only three catches for 12 yards. But Jeremy Bernard was awesome last week. He had
34:15careerhighs in catches, receiving yards, and very important, nine targets. He also had a rush attempt that went for four yards. And I think that one's
34:25interesting because Jeremy Bernard at Alabama would get lined up all over the field. He was a featured weapon for the Crimson Tide. And last year, if you
34:36watch the SEC or you watch just the big college games, like Jeremy Bernard was featured by Alabama. This was like what
34:42Alabama did was highly utilize Jeremy Bernard and he parlayed that into being a second round draft pick. So you've got a high volume pass attack. You've got
34:52Aaron Rodgers really liking this rookie.
34:56Little bit of little bit of Randle Cobb.
34:58I'm just throwing it out there. Just throwing it out there because Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rogers. Don't want to put too much out there, but I really
35:04like this talent for Jeremy Bernard. I think he's going to run out really really well. We of course are keeping an
35:09eye on Keon Coleman. The pass volume was really low last week, but if DJ Moore sits, Coleman is absolutely in play this
35:16week for Buffalo in a game where we think they're going to put it on the ra the Vegas Raiders. We talked about it
35:22could be a closer than anticipated game, but they're 4 and a half point road favorites in a very high total game. So,
35:27Keon Coleman would be in play. Got a touchdown. The pass volume was exceedingly low for Allen last week. Ran for 120 yards, but Keon Coleman needs to
35:35get rostered. Ryan Florenoi needs to get rostered now. CD Lamb supposed to be back this week, but dealing with a quad
35:42bruise. Does this cause anything for CD Lamb like to be limited in snaps this week? I feels like a pain tolerance, but
35:50you've got this insane high total game where we want to cram in every single Cowboy, every single Packer. I'm talking about like Marshon Lloyd and Ryan
35:59Florenoi. We want to cram them in. 53 and 12 point total. Dallas is on the road in this one. It feels like this is
36:06going to be the highest scoring game.
36:08Oh, and we get this game in prime time.
36:10It is a Sunday night game in Lambo. How many fantasy managers are going to have a Sunday night sweat with the Dallas
36:18Cowboys and Green Bay Packers? I mean, we live for this stuff as fantasy managers if you can't tilt out when it's
36:25a high-scoring Sunday night game and you're holding out a lead um and you're going up against guys from the other team or you're trailing and you're
36:33chasing points. Those are the kind of things we love in fantasy football. just enjoy it. I always say embrace the sweats. A lot of fantasy managers want
36:42it to be all settled out before Sunday.
36:44Embrace the sweat, trust your process, all that good stuff. Uh but we're really looking forward to that game. Now, we
36:52want to uh stash Cyrus Allen and Jaylen Royals. Not sure which way this thing is going to go. The hype and the steam for
37:01Cyrus Allen is through the roof right now. He had a ton of enthusiasm surrounding him in the preseason.
37:09Raised up to a really high level in terms of NFC and FFPC drafts. Was like a 12th round pick in some of them. And
37:18it's been a really slow roll out for him. So Cyrus Allen, rookie receiver out of Cincinnati.
37:25There's so much to like here athletically. And there's all sorts of great coach speak when it comes to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes apparently
37:33really trusts him. The Beat reporters are losing their minds for Cyrus Allen.
37:38But then you've also got Jaylen Royals and you talk about Cyrus Allen. Could Cyrus Allen be in the Taekquon Thornton role a little bit more than we would
37:44like and Thornton had was really good.
37:46Thornton averaged 11 points per game, but a lot of it was like touchdown dependent. Could Jaylen Roll Royals have a little bit more of a Rashi Riceish
37:56type role? Um, I think they're both really fun stashes. One's a secondyear guy, one's a rookie, and it's post bye-week, so we love seeing smart
38:06coaches post bye-i-week. And guess what, Andy Reid, that guy's pretty smart. Um, and this opportunity presenting these guys is massive. The Chiefs are awesome.
38:16The Chiefs are back. The Chiefs are expected to win a lot of games, even without these wide receivers. Um, and the Chiefs this week go up against the
38:24hapless LA Chargers. And guess what? The Chiefs are 7 and 12 point favorites in this one. The total is only 41 12
38:33though. And I don't think this is like a cra it in. I know that there's going to be some of you playing DFS. I like the
38:39idea of Jeremy Bernard at 3900 in a DraftKings type lineup more than paying down a little bit and sort of chasing it
38:47with one of these Kansas City wide outs.
38:48But I get it. Jeremy Bernard, a lot of people are going to be using him. He's like 3,900 4,000 something like that
38:54this week. I sort of like that as sort of the cheap wide receiver more so than um these Kansas City ones, but they both
39:00need to get rostered. Cyrus Allen is my preferred one to roster, but Jaylen Royals is available everywhere. So, we want to grab him. We want to stash Mai
39:10Lemon. He's probably rostered in a lot of competitive leagues. I know in my league, like not in my league, bro.
39:16Nobody's got Mai Lemon available in my league, bro. But, uh in a lot of leagues, he is available. had a season
39:22high five catches for 43 yards on seven targets last week. Um, now we've got we've got this quarterback change and what does it do? Does it crash the
39:31entire ship or do players like Goddard and Lemon maybe have a little more usage? I don't know. Don't know what to
39:38make of it. But I do know that I think Mai Lemon is awesome. Like I think he's an awesome talent. I do. I really think
39:44that it's been a terrible roll out. It's been a slow start to him, but I think at some point Mai Lemon is going to make a
39:51real big impact in fantasy football.
39:54Maybe it's a year or two breakout. Maybe it's a Matthew Golden trajectory, and maybe I'm wrong, but I think there's enough there that he could be a
40:00decentsized thing over the second half of the year. We'll see. A lot of problems in Philly, but we do know that
40:06there's all these guys banged up. He was their first round rookie uh NFL draft pick. And Lemon Bletnikov award winner at USC last year. There's a reason smart
40:16people, and listen, I I was the most accurate mock drafter in the country last year. I like flexing that one because it's a win for all of us in
40:24fantasy football, won the Huddle Report, but there's some guys out there that uh guys like Cody Carpenter, who I respect a ton, who grind more. I I watched a lot
40:34of film last year, you know, had to put it in a little work, but guys who watched more film than I were making
40:39some crazy comparisons when it came to Mai Lemon. Uh not necessarily Cody or Brett Whitefield, they didn't like him as much as I did, but there were some
40:46guys out there making comps stylistically to guys like Aman Raw, to guys like JSN. And this is not my comp, but Mai Lemon has toughness and he's a
40:57target earner. At some point, that's going to shine through and I think the second half of the year. So, we're going
41:01to continue to stash Mai Lemon streamer.
41:06If we're looking for a gutshot streamer, Trey Tucker is in play. We talked about this one. Uh Trey Tucker could be the
41:13beneficiary of a long Kirk Cousins touchdown pass. He's the best bet among all Vegas wide receivers. It's been a little bit of a train wreck. I know like
41:23Cody White sort of has a hive right now, but Trey Tucker, we've seen spike weeks from him before. We saw it in week two,
41:31five catches for 119 yards. Now, the last three weeks, it's been such a weird run out. He's literally had four catches
41:40in three straight weeks. And he's literally had at least between 41 and 44 receiving yards in three straight weeks.
41:48So, between 7 and 12 PPR points and 8.3 PPR points. Gross. Extremely extremely gross. But we're chasing it in this
41:57game. If you're using a non Ashton Genty Brock Bowers Raider and you want to chase a Kirk Cousins touchdown and you
42:05are down bad, Trey Tucker. I have an FFPC Dynasty team where I'm using Trey Tucker. I'm not bragging about that one,
42:12but it is the nature of the beast when you have a bunch of guys on bye. We want to make calculated decisions. we have to
42:19take our reddraft hats off or in this case our dynasty hats off and put our DFS hats on and sort of chase it like
42:28could we see Trey Tucker uh get an extra target or two chasing the Bills offense and maybe one of them turns into a
42:3540-yard touchdown catch and we're feeling like geniuses next week and we're bragging that we started Trey Tucker probably doesn't happen but again
42:43you're really down bad now a stash we are going to stash Christian Kirk Um, Christian Kirk is an interesting one because you got like this mash unit for
42:54San Francisco. I'm not buying into Brandon Cooks. I had him in the Waverwire article, but I'm not buying into it. He caught a touchdown pass last
43:00week. Um, but I think Christian Kirk becomes interesting when he eventually comes off the IR. Keep an eye on him in
43:06San Francisco. And it could be potentially more chaos. We don't want to wish injuries on anyone. And I certainly have my George KD and my Mike Evans bags
43:14packed. uh have them on one of those really good NFC teams as a Brock Pury, Mike Evans, George KD stack. Um and I've
43:21definitely benefited from Pertie's strong start and it would be awful if I lost one of those veterans, but they're both old guys. Both of them like 32
43:31plus. So, another old guy is Christian Kirk. When he comes off of IR, he could step into a decentsized role. He's been
43:38around the league a lot, but Kirk could end up being a five catch a game guy at some point for San Francisco over uh
43:45maybe a four-week sample size. So, we'll keep an eye on him. Really good offense.
43:48Now, we want to stash Effton Chisum. And some of you might have to use Eftton Chisum this week. Um it's not ideal, but
43:57Chisum played 80% of snaps last week for New England, led the Patriots with six targets and five receptions. Demario Douglas got the ink and Kyle Williams
44:05got the ink cuz they scored the touchdowns. Douglas had two of them. Um, and I get it if you want to chase it
44:10with Douglas again and and ride that heater, but it feels like Demario Douglas was a one-off. Chisum, year two guy, could be effective this week. Now,
44:18everything could get blown up when AJ Brown comes back and Romeo Dobs sort of has his role solidified. I mean, frustrating stuff with with Romeo Dobs
44:27where he has like two steps forward and then we get like confident in the role and then it just doesn't happen. But
44:33it's sort of the story of Green Bay as well with with Dobs where week three uh we saw the 49 receiving yards and week
44:41four we're like okay we got two touchdown catches and then a lot of you put Romeo Dobs in your lineups last week
44:46against V against Vegas and he has 2.6 points just completely gross. But Drake May like spreading the ball around but Chisum is going to be in the slot a lot
44:56this week. Uh the Jets are pretty tough.
44:58I mean that's a tough defense. If it turns into a little bit of a dog fight, maybe we get a couple of extra uh
45:04targets to Chisum. I don't necessarily think it's going to be one of those games, but the great equalizer in fantasy football is a strong pass rush
45:12and the Jets pass rush is phenomenal.
45:14So, the Jets are 7 and 1 half point dogs and the total is only 43 and a half. Um, it's just feels weird because that team
45:22had eight sacks last week and David Ba Bailey is an absolute monster.
45:27looking at uh wide receiver position.
45:28We'll throw out one more potential potential streamer and that's Kendrick Bourne. Kendrick Bourne is obviously the biggest beneficiary of this uh Marvin
45:39Harrison Jr. trade. Uh he's going to play the slot. We talked about how good the Rams are against opposing tight ends. Maybe we see some extra uh extra
45:49targets go Kendrick Bourne way. Five catches for 70 yards last week against Detroit. Eight targets. That's his second eight target game of the season.
45:58He had eight catches for 75 yards in week one. I think he's in play this week against the Rams. Um, we'll keep an eye
46:05on Kendrick Bourne. And one other player we want to mention, I want to stash Jaylen Null because I think Jaylen Null,
46:13if Marvin Harrison Jr. wasn't traded to Houston, there'd be a lot of collective enthusiasm about Jaylen Null. Jaylen Null, third round pick out of Iowa State
46:24for played with Jaden Higgins. Texans draft them both last year, 2025 draft in in round two and then Jaylen Null in
46:32round three. But the last two weeks, Jaylen Null, three catches for 85 yards against Dallas and then five catches for 41 yards and a touchdown. We talked
46:40about him last week here. Uh five targets last week that ties a season high. So he had 12 points in week four,
46:4815 in week five. I think he's going to be the beneficiary against Jacksonville.
46:53Uh if this goes the way I think it's going to go where it's going to be a ton of Nico Collins, but Jaylen Null sort of
46:59operating in the slot. Marvin Harrison Jr. they'll take some shots to downfield, but we're not I don't think I'm chasing it there. I think it's
47:06Jaylen Null. I think he's interesting.
47:08And I think the production could end up looking like it did this past week even with Marvin Harrison Jr. So, I think
47:14you're going to get ahead of your league mates by grabbing Jaylen Null off the wire right now. Uh, see where this thing
47:20goes. And if he gets gets completely nuked by Marvin Harrison Jr., and I predicted this incorrectly, then I didn't cost you anything. But the idea
47:28of the game is paying less money on a Friday or Saturday or Sunday morning than you will uh when you get to Tuesday
47:35and everybody in your league wants the same guys. So, I think we covered a lot.
47:39This went long. I I don't want to do 45 minutes on sleepers, but we're up against it. Very very quick recommendation for a defense. Carolina
47:49uh Carolina is going to be available a lot of places. I think they could be a smash spot this week just based on how
47:55ineffective this Philadelphia offense could look uh without Jaylen Herz. Uh this is a really really tough one. Um, we know that this is a a a chance for
48:07Carolina coming out of a byee to put a lot of pressure on Philly. You got Mucky as his first start at quarterback. It
48:14could get ugly. Now, maybe Philadelphia uh turn puts it up puts it together and we we know that Philly has an
48:22opportunity in the link for a little bit of magic here. Um, we don't want to underestimate that it's a really proud
48:29franchise and they're playing a home game, but I think Carolina is a really good team and they're going to put pressure on Philadelphia offensively
48:36that Philly is not going to be able to just sort of sit on the ball and uh play conservatively. I think they're going to
48:40have to open things up a little bit more than we want to see. We also saw what Carolina was able to do against a backup
48:46quarterback in week two. Now, Rush, Cooper Rush was exceptionally bad backup quarterback, but Rush for Atlanta,
48:56Carolina was defense one overall in week two. We could have the exact same sort of run out. Now, if you're looking for a
49:04defensive stash, it's easy. The Jets are going to be cut by a lot of people because they're playing against New England this week, but next week the
49:12Jets go up against the Miami Dolphins.
49:15We are going to continue to sort of uh chase that one. And then if we're looking for a kicker streamer this week,
49:22there's a ton of them. Um my guy Dominic Zavvada continues to knock in 50 yard field goal after 50 yard field goal. I
49:29think we could chase it with him. We could chase the very high totals with guys like Nick Folk, guys like Matt Gay,
49:37uh who have really really uh high totals. But if your league is rewarding long field goals, the Dominic Zavvada experience has been a really good one.
49:45The guy is kicking multiple 50-yard field goals. And can we just point out how elite the last names for kickers are
49:53right now? Um, Zavvada is an awesome kicker last name. We got Spencer Shrader. We got Will the Thrill Riker.
50:02Um, we've got Trey Smack in Green Bay.
50:05Cam Little has a really cool kicker name. Kaim Fairbear, an all-time kicker name which is continually out there. Um, we lost the thicker kicker, but we still
50:15have very cool kicker names. I mean, um, looking down the line, um, Andre Smith of Cleveland, but he spells it SZM YT. I
50:25mean, the guy doesn't even have a vowel.
50:26I mean, I guess Y counts. Sometimes Y counts. Um, but we've got a generational amount of cool kicker names. What a time
50:35to be alive as a fantasy football manager. Uh we're at the end of the road of the show here. Hope this was helpful
