Waiver Wire Tuesday, Monday Night recap, and more...

You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Fantasy best Friends Forever, m Do to to Do? Didn do too to do? Didn do to to do? Did it do? Yo? Is his the Fantasy best Friends Forever Here on the Fantasy Sports Ring your Network alongside Frankie Stamfold. My name is Greg Sauceman. What's going on, Frankie? Nothing? Just need a chance to catch my breath. Greg, you keep talking on the program. At eight It is a waiver wire Tuesday.

But you already knew that the BFS will tell you who you need to grab at every position, but more importantly,

potentially who you need to drop. That's usually the harder question, and that's why Frank and I are here to help you out and to make sure that you're not making the wrong decision as I did in both my matchups on yes yesterday, which I would have easily won if I would have started Robert Woods over a guy like Kenny and Drake over a guy like Chris Hogan over a guy like Cooper Cup, make that start wind up winning instead? I lost difference between two and one or

three and out potentially and one and two. How are you feeling now a little bit better? A little better? Frank got a haircut something like that? Like, got a beard trim as well, Frankie well groomed something like that. Sure, so let's I'm gonna get it trimed down a little bit more. See what happens. Let's get into mondtball here would you think? Um? I thought everyone was obviously writing off Ryan Fitzpatrick very early in the game. Um, no

surprise he I mean rightfully. So he had three interceptions I believe in the first half. Um, but he turned it around. I mean, first quarterback to have four hundred or more passing yards in three straight games. First quarterback in NFL history. The NFL has been around a long time. No surprise that Ryan Fitzpatrick is the one out here?

Breaking records. It's magic. Maybe, yeah. So look he bounced back four hundred yards, three touchdowns, three interceptions, UM, And I think I want to question, do we want Jameis

Winston to be the starting quarterback for this team? Because given how well Ryan Fitzpatrick has worked with the Ten Bay Bucks weapons, whether it's Mike Evans who's got off to a phenomenal start, Chris Godwin who was targeted double digit times last night, UM was getting force fed targets in the end zone as well, ended up scoring that touchdown. Looks like he's going to be a great player as well. Do we want Jamis Winston to come back and take

over the court of the quarterback job right here? You know the answer to that? Quarter I mean, I don't know why would you Why would you want that? No, there's still something deep down inside that thinks that James Winston has this huge upside. But I guess Ryan Fitzpatrick is doing Yeah, well, we always wanted to. Couldn't do any better than right It's Patrick. No, there's no way. I mean, there's no quarterback ever that's doing better than what Ryan Fitzpatrick is doing right now. I don't think

it's a question for fantasy owners. Dude, I really don't. There is no question here, Like you want Rivot's Patrick to remain the starting quarterback very obviously. Hello, it was came back from seventeen points down in the fourth quarter, and if it wasn't, very stupid decision in my estimation, but jerk cutter, maybe they did. Like to me, how do you how do you punt two minutes and seconds ago in the game and get it? You're he just had three brutal plays in a row. You're on your

side of the field. How do you punt if they get two first downs? The game is over if you hold them out of the end zone, no matter what, you got a shot. Terrible terrible coaching. Yeah, just go for it there. But look, if you're watching Ryan Fitzpatrick, he almost did it again right like when they needed him most. It's like every pass that he threw on that final drive should have been intercepted. Like that's classic

Ryan Fitzpatrick. When the most pressure is on him, he just like throws balls in the air like without even looking. It's crazy. He doesn't care. On the other side of you also stay there and get demolished in the pocket. Yeah, he's the least on least athletic rushing quarterback that we've ever had. Like Ryan Fitzpatrick, you don't like expected from him. But five rushes for twenty seven yards, he's mobile to get outside the pocket and again he's just gonna wing

it down the field on the other side of the ball. Um, I think garbage time really saved James Conner's day. I think before that final drive he had like fifteen yards. He ended up with sixty one rushing yards on fifteen carries. Was also targeted six times, five receptions for thirty or four yards, didn't get in the end zone. But um, you know, I thought Corey was crazy yesterday. There are a lot of days where I think Corey is crazy,

but for good reason. Um, I thought he was crazy when he was bringing up all these secondary wide receivers that are like now better than their counterparts. Do you do, Schuster now? For you know, more often than not, this season has been better than Antonio Brown. Another game with eleven targets, more targets and Antonio Brown, more receptions than Antonio Brown, more than double the receiving yards and Antonio Brown,

do do? Mr? Schuster is absolutely legit I don't. We all thought Antonio Brown was going to have a better game than he did last night. God bless you. You you know it's funny. We're not really funny, pretty pathetic. Actually. Um, so I played a player pool where it's a survivor player pool where you can't take the same player twice throughout the season. Um there's a playoffs that start like we twelve and all the points reset, but you still

can't take the same player twice. So last night we had a very We had the first two good weeks, really really strong of top twenty eight teams out of a whole lot make the playoffs. And for the first two weeks we were awesome at had picked really good teams. This week, like we knew going in it was gonna

be a disaster, and it it was. So the first two weeks we had scored and it's a true fantasy, like a quarterback three woud receivers to running backs, tight end, a kicker, defense, um through week Like, I mean, we went Week one, we could play a hundred and eighty five points or something like that. We two we had like a hundred and sixty points something like that. So going into Monday, night with a quarterback and a kicker left Frank, we had seventy five points. That's very bad,

very bad. So our quarterback was Ryan Fitzpatrick and our kicker was Chandler Canazara. And then we were talking yesterday and I'm like, wait a minute, they both can't like do really well. Like one of them will do well. We should probably kick on the other team. We had already used Ben Roethlisberger, so we had Ryan, It's Pattrick. Let's switch Chandler Cannazaro with Chris Boswell. That worked poorly for us. This is just a weekend of bad decisions

for Greg. So we couldn't do much right. We couldn't do much right. I'm sorry for you, Greg. You don't really sound sorry. You gotta sound preocupied to be honestly. Do you think it's troubling that Judice Smith Schuster is out performing Antonio Brown right now? Troublieve the Antonio Brown owner? Yeah? Yeah, we all thought that Juju Smith Schuster was going to be the one affected by Antonio Brown. I remember when we were having all these arguments, when Michael Florida was

still around. You guys were telling me all these stats about how Judice Smith Schuster only went off when Antonio Brown was out of the lineup, and it was true, and we were worried about in games that Antonio Brown plays Jujuice Smith Schuster, I was gonna take hit. And now coming into the year, it seems like Antonio Brown is the one that's taking a hit because Judic mis

Schuster is frankly outperforming him. I saw I saw a stat from Graham Barfield um impairing the games that Jujics miss Schuster has played without Levan Bell, and those are games where he's gone completely off. I don't want to say that the trust is gone between Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger, but they're not. Only we're not on the same page. Multiple times last night, what it called a deep a deep route down the left side, like a

comeback route like Antonio Brown normally knows. When it turned around was last third down of the game, and he just kept going, just kept going. And then you don't see that between those two, No question about it hasn't happened with Juju. There is is growing friendship, love, trust, whatever you want to call it when it comes to Judice to the Schuster that is there. I think it's absolutely possible that Juju is taking this role. Yes, So

that sweet that I mentioned from Grand Barfield. It's Judician Schuster's updated receiving lines in games without Levi on Bell nine one and one on ten targets five for one, nineteen eleven targets, thirteen for one and one nineteen targets, nine for one, sixteen on eleven targets. That was last night and that span. Juju averages nine receptions per game d twenty four point three yards game twelve point eight targets per game when Levion Bell is not in the lineup.

Levion Bell is clearly not the h James Conner is clearly not the receiving threat that Levian Bell was obviously when he was in the lineup. Like, he still gets targets and receptions more so than other running backs, but not to the level that Levion Bell did. Yeah, you know, it's it's interesting. James Conner probably had his weakest game of the season, probably did had his weakest game of the season last night. Do you think this brings any urgency for then to get Levam Bell to show up?

Now they won the game, So yeah, I mean it was a lot closer than it should have been. We were sweating that one out, which if you listen to us yesterday, we said we liked the Steelers, and we said not to touch you over under because it was gonna be close. And it was on that when it was thirty twenty, I was like, all right, you know, if the Steelers can hold the Bucks, will field go here, we'll get it right three maybe the game can end that way. But they scored a touchdown and then that

gives me. But it was close, yeah, absolutely over under. The over runder was closed quite obviously. Um, and we like we like to Steelers. We were I means I went, oh, I means I went to one of my picks. Great, and I got Peyton Barbara wrong, but I got right. Yeah. So that's where I actually went to Google look up. So Barbara started off running the ball well average four point one yards for carry, eight carries thirty three yards. Obviously got game scripted. Jaquiz Rodgers was by the way, brutal,

brutal running the ball, brutal pass blocking the ball. I don't understand it. I don't understand why he that just tells you how low they are and Ronald Jones right now that he is not active to the point where they have ja Quiz Rodgers just running into the back of his offensive line. Um not pass blocking well as you mentioned, and then on the target that was a pick six. I don't think that was his fault overall, Like Ryan Fitzpatrick just overthrew him a little bit, but

he was involved in that play as well. Yeah, I guess so. I think that Ronald Jones and I thought maybe it was made sense. You have to hold them onto longer or say goodbye. I thought that he would be a surprise active for this game. Maybe give him a few times, get him involved, you know, sprinkle him in with the let all of America and the rest of the world get a little taste of Ronald Jones.

But that obviously did not happen. I've had a lot of people asking me how long do I think Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to hold onto the job, and I think it's a pretty impossible question. Answer. Yeah, it's a very impossible question. Answer. He hasn't for Week four, that's already been announced. Week five will be the answering. I think it will be the first game where Ryan Fitzpatrick is Ryan Fitzpatrick and that really like causes them to lose.

That's where you're gonna start hearing the murmurs. Right, who do you live this week? Do you know? I could here facing the Bears in Chicago, so that came not be a great one tough game. But we'll say this, their offenses put up twenty seven I know right, it's Patrick through three interceptions, did not look good at times last night. You put up twenty seven points a game probably not coming out. Oh absolutely, if he does that again,

then it won't. If he does that again, they should either win against the Bears because I don't know if the Bears can keep up with them, or they'll lose because their defense was absolutely terrible. Ye could definitely be a possibility easily. Uh. The NFC South by the Way, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Carolina all sit at two in one,

Atlanta one game back at one and two. We should also note that the matchups they've had, we know now that the Saints defense is terrible, Like it is back to being the Saints defense from two years ago and every other year that Drew Brees was their quarterback. And I think the same thing could be said for the Pittsburgh Steelers too. They're just not good. So those are

teams that you really want to attack. When we see those high over under totals game totals for the against the Steelers and against the Saints, those games are gonna be shootouts. Um, Philadelphia, I think that was a game where Ryan Fitzpatrick really showed out there. They still do have some deficiencies against the past. We know how good their front seven is. They limit the run all the time, but that was still impressive to do that against the

Eagles defense. I thought so. I thought so too. Um, Pittsburgh next week has Baltimore, which is it was an interesting spot. It has McDonald obviously had a huge game last night. Jesse James was extremely quiet after his huge game the week before. Um. Yeah, so I don't I don't know what to make it necessarily, Antonio Brown. Um, going forward, it's gonna all have from the NFL ball. I'm kind of just dragging now. Yeah, Dealers and Bucks.

It's over. We're on to week four where we finally get two teams on by the Washington Football team and the Carolina Panthers. Carolina Washington on by which means the BFS have to start Dak Prescot. That might be correct, and we have no a Dream Peterson, so we're screwed. Really, that's that's an issue. I'm looking at our team. I'm looking at our team now. So you're gonna have to find ways to replace Christian mccaffe and we're gonna do a Waiver Wire episode today. But there's not a lot

of fresh converses Detroit. You're in the line up. Nice? Great? Oh you start Aaron Jones. I don't have a choice. Start Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams. Always fun, Greg, We could do that. We can also start Frank Gore. Yeah, good times. You start mark mark ingram On on a suspension might do better than Frank Gore had similar fantasy production last week. That's true. Yeah, so the bodies do start this week Thursday. That football man with the rams of the Bikings that is tough as the guy that

owns Robert Woods and Cooper Cup. I don't know what to do. Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna continue to say what I've said. Oh year, I think Cooper Cup is the safest of all of them when they go up against teams that have strong outside cornerbacks. Which the Vikings obviously do with Xavier Rhodes and Trey Wayne. So I'm going to continue to ride that. I think Cooper Cup

is the safest guy. But again, Robert Woods and Brandon Cooks, they're kind of proving that their matchup proof regardless, right Like if a team tries to shut them down one, then are just gonna go to Robert Wood a ton, which is what we saw last week. And Brandon Cooks by all means still did not have a bad game. No he didn't. They all have safe floors and they have are proving now that they all have big ceilings as well. You know, It's really interesting is the other side,

right Marcus Peters Oup tune to four weeks. I keeps to leave potentially done for the year. Absolutely brutal injuries in the secondary for the Rams, and if their defense is letting up points, it's only going to be good for the offense. You're just gonna have to keep pushing and pushing and pushing. And I know taking the over on a Thursday night game, especially at fourty nine and a half, seems crazy, but I think there's gonna be some point scored in this game. I think the Vikings

are going to bounce back in a big way. I mean to get embarrassed against the Buffalo Bills the way that they did. We spoke about it yesterday. How that's the biggest upset in like twenty three, TWI years something like that. And especially with those Rams cornerbacks out, greg, I think Adam Feeling and Stefon Diggs are going to be in for big games. Not only that, the Rams

haven't been great at shutting down tight ends this year either. Um, so yeah, it looks like all three of the main pass catching options in Minnesota are going to be in four productive weeks on Thursday against the Los Angeles Rams. Yeah, it's it'll be obviously something you're gonna have to monitor. Um, it's just tough for me, man, I am not gonna know what to do. I'm not gonna know what to do with that. I'm not gonna know what to do with Just start both start both friends wide receivers. Why

wouldn't you? Who else do you play? The Vikings have Calmen Ridley, Kay, who else? It's just a team where you have bad flex options. Oh, this is a good team. This is this one and two. It's like it's a good team though, Like I put, this is a good one and too, I have a bunch of points. I feel good about this team. The other one, there's just no hope you're gonna start Jordan Wilkins again this week.

I can't start start sending out those Odell Beckham for three player trades and yesterday man I proposed I told you you were around with the yesterday when I was proposing trades, I proposed good trades Odell Beckam, Rackina now and Marshall Marshawn Lynch fair trade. Yeah, I'd say that that's I'd probably if I was the other owner, I'd probably want another piece and return just something he wanted me to throw. Ronald Jones, I said sure, So are you gonna do it? I said yes, and then he

has to said yes to think about it. Okay, sleep on. It is that Max? No, that's not Max. Waiver wire pulls money if he hasn't even left data break. We'll take into the wavor wire, particularly the rod receivers running Max. What's your way next? Daily rodo dot Com learned from the game's best DFS players. We don't just give you premier advice.

Back with you here on the Fantasy Best Friends Forever Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Frankie, I want at the end of the wide receiver ads for this week, and I was talking to you during the break about a particular one in Arizona. Josh Rosen's the starting quarterback for the Cardinals. We knew that much. Does is show an imp an uptick in production from

Larry Fitzgerald? Quite possibly, sure, But what I'm most interested in is Christian Kirk is pretty much available everywhere, right, Like we're talking of leagues or so, how much you spending on Christian Kirk in the waighbor wider, especially in deeper leagues where he's likely the best option available. I'm willing to go as high as seven or eight percent of my remaining fab budget um because I'm interested in what he could do. With Josh Rosen, we spoke about

this a lot last year and the year before. Whenever we get a backup quarterback or a rookie quarterback coming in, who's going to get an opportunity to start? You want to see who? Did they get to work with a lot throughout the preseason when they were running with the two's, that's gonna be Christian Kirk. Josh Rosen worked a lot with him. They're both rookie players obviously coming in they

were They had rookie minicamp together. So basically as long as they've been professionals with the Arizona Cardinals, they've worked together. And Christian kirkerk saw an uptick last week. He played

seventy percent of the offensive snaps. He's actually gotten better, which with each passing week so far to this NFL season, I will say that he his seventy four percent of snaps was still third on the team, behind both Chad Williams and Larry Fitzgerald, but he led them in Week three and targets with eight receptions with seven receiving yards with ninety air yards with seventy one, which is interesting, and in yards after the catch with thirty two, It's

still seems like Larry Fitzgerald is going to play the snap the slot for this team, playing forty five of fifty two of his snaps inside the slot. Christian Kirk, that was a position that he played most in college. He played as a slot receiver when he was at Texas A and m fourteen of forty five snaps this week in the slot. So it reminds me a little bit. And I saw I believe it was. I think it was was it It was either Grand Barfield or Scott. I think it was Scott Barrett. Scott Barrett was speaking

about how it reminds him of Nelson Aglar. Nelson Aglo was courts to the outside when he first came into the league and he was really not good. And the when he's allowed to play the slot again last year, he excelled in that. So I do worry about that with Kirk, but I like the fact that he has familiarity with Josh rosen Um, so I'm willing to go as high as seven eight percent. I think he among

all these wide receivers. We're gonna talk about is the most widely available and as a guy who can contribute right away. Yeah, so I think ultimately your theory of the back the backup quarterback with the backup wide receiver, it makes sense. You grow together, and certainly early around rookies, they probably have a room together and practicing together, um since the beginning, and I think there is something there.

You saw it, Christian Kirk targeted a few times when Josh Rosen came in on that last drive of the game. Now it's certainly easier to use your tight end to use your veteran wide receiver and Larry Fitzgerald and a Ricky Seals Jones. I think that makes sense for me when it comes to video. Christian Kirk, I'm only in a bit a few dollars. I think there's some better wide receivers that are out there. I'm not blowing the budget. I'm not buying into the Cardinals offense all of a

sudden exploding because I don't think it will. Um. I don't think the offense is going to be worse with Josh Rosen than it was. It can't be. It can't be. Josh coming into Week three with the Cardinals offense had scored six points. Sam Bradford was not throwing the ball downfield at all. I think he was throwing the ball more behind the line of scrimmage, and he was actually

beyond the line of scrimmage. So he was literally just a checkdown king, a guy who got paid twenty million dollars in the off season to come in and just check the ball down. For the Arizona Cardinals, it's a bad job by them. I will agree with you that it's still not an ideal offense. Their offensive line is not great. Um, So Josh Rosen's gonna see a lot of pressure, especially in his first career start against the

Chicago Bears on the road. So I'm not saying I'm gonna get Christian Kirk in my lineup right away, but he's a guy I want to pick up and see what report is like with Josh Orden has a starting quarterback. We talked about rapport, and we talked about waiting and seeing.

You can no longer wait and see on a guy like Tyler boy because A J. Green heard his groin at the end or the really the beginning of the second half UM in Week number three, and Tyler boyd went off his first career a hundred yard game, UM, and that's a lot of that was with a J. Green in the line of Tyler boy has certainly emerged this year for the Cincinnati Bengals, and yet according to CBS Leagues, he's only owned in under thirty percent of leagues.

People were not buying in frank last week. Now he cost you know too, three four or five, six, seven eight dollars last week. Now you're in the double digits because costing you over ten percent of your budgets to go out and get Tyler Boyd. Now this week, Boyd is one of those waiver wire finds that desperate for me, Like I wasn't a flex and it's been enough on him last week. I'm gonna check my bid when when

you start talking. But it's been enough and I didn't get a Tyler Boyd who now is the number one wide receiver for Cincinnati. UM with a J. Green out if he is out. But certainly his mark is made with the Bengals, yes, for sure. And I was aggressive on him on him last week in the Flex League. I spent thirteen dollars on him in a one dollar budget. So I believe we said anywhere from like nine to

eleven percent last week on him. That number this week is going to grow to over he went, gonna have to be he went in my league last week just for example, like I said, seven dollars right over that seven eight range I had been three. Now it's cost me in a major way. Yeah, it's again, it's gonna go. You're gonna have to spend twenty percent if you want to get him. He has twenty one targets on the season. Greg that's eighteen percent of the target share last week.

A hundred and thirty two yards. I thought this was really interesting. A D thirteen air yards, thirty nine yards after the catch, sixteen point one a dot. So he's working both in the slot and on the outside, but he's not being used as just a traditional slot receiver that runs quick slants and runs routes close to the line of scrimmage. He's being used down the field. They're

targeting him on deep passes as well. You can see that in his area yards and and in his A dot all all of those categories lead the Bengals in Week three. That was obviously with A. J. Green a little bit banged up, but it will say his targets were still just at seven last week. On the season, he does have twenty one targets eighteen percent of the target shore. That's second on the team, but last week he was behind Giovanni Bernard, Tyler Eiffort, A J. Green Um.

But I'm still willing to go as high as twenty if you really really need the wide receiver help um, and especially with A J. Green banged up this week. I know that A J. Green wants to play because he's going back home in Atlanta where he played college ball at Georgia, and him and Julio Jones have kind of been compared to each other as long as they've been in the league. They were in the same draft together. So I know A J. Green wants to it out there,

but groin injuries are really, really tricky. I don't know that he's going to be able to And if A J. Green can't go, Tyler Boyd crazy enough to say you might be a top twenty four wide receiver this week. Greig based on all the injuries to the to the Falcon secondary. As you see the Corey Parson from then starts talking to me. A lot of cameras producer Corey Parson joining the show and there you go. Producer Corey Parson has a nice ring to it. It's unbelievable Corey

Parson on the Ones and two. But you're right A J. Green, Um, those groin injuries do tend to linger. Will hear more about them from Inside Injuries on Thursday with Virginia and with Dr a Um. Tyler Boyd the number one guy out there. I said, it's gonna cost you quite a bit of money probably, I think of your budget at this point. If you're hurting for wide receiver, I'm willing

to go as high in my budget makes sense. I think I think you have to be Corey on the Frenzy yesterday started out a show saying, listen, Tyler Boyd is is the guy in Cincinnati. A J. Green Old news, Oh, Corey Pawson that a lot of things to Julio Jones has done. Also, Calvin Realley better than Julio Jones. Absolutely, it might be better than maybe the more information like that. You have to check out fantas football friends, because your way about a half hour from now. Um, Calvial really

let's spak about him. He's on the lot He's on and stashed pretty much everywhere right or so leagues. I would say, if he is available in ten team leagues and one, do you go out and pick him up nuber two, how much you spending? Yeah? Absolutely, he's a must owned player. Like I was mentioning yesterday when people were asking me ken both him and Julio Jones have value together. I think that's absolutely possible. Julio Jones is still a wide receiver one for fantasy, and I'm pushing

Calvin Ridley inside my top thirty six. I think he is a viable wide receiver three. Now, he still might be boom or busty because Mohammed Sanu is playing more snaps in him, but Alvin Ridley is getting targeted more of the target share over the last two weeks at his second most on the team, behind only Julio Jones. But during that span, greg Calvin Ridley thirteen targets, eleven receptions, two ten yards, four touchdowns, fifty seven point two PPR points.

Julio Jones during that same stretch he has more targets. If you play in a point per target league, yeah, you'll be great with Julio Jones ten receptions. That's one lesson Calvin Redley. A hundred and sixty yards. That's fifty receiving yards lesson Calvin Redley. You don't need you don't need me to tell you this. He has zero touchdowns his twenty six PPR points that is thirty one less PPR points over the last two weeks. Calvin really absolutely needs to be owned, even in a ten team league.

If he's available in your league, I'm going his highest thirty percent of my budget. Greg absolutely loving him. They drafted him for a reason, and the fact brought it up. You did bring it up. You said they do this Roddy White and Julio Jones. They drafted Julio Jones to be the successor to Roddy whitep. That's exactly what they did, and they still had successful Fantasy years together. I'm not here to tell you that Calvin Ridley is just all of a sudden gonna take over Julio Jones and be

the wide receiver one on the team. What can happen in two or three years from now? It certainly could, and both guys can be Fantasy viable together. We've seen it done before. Greg. Now, other wide receivers that could be out there this week. Mike Williams on the list percent of leagus. I know people love Mike Williams, You, sir, love Mike Williams or one of the one of those

guys Corey mentioned. Keenan Allen is somebody yesterday that falling by the wayside, right, Mike Williams stepping up the number one wide receiver. We're not just talking yesterday about training for Keenan Allen. Um, you said, is he the guy? If you're philing? You literally asked me if Philip Rivers is in the red zone, are you throwing it keen now and or Mike Williams. And my response was, probably

Mike Williams. If Mike Williams is out there for you to spend, I think he's right in the same range as the rest of these guys. I don't know that he has the same opportunity, but he's gonna be in that range. He should be owned in more than forty eight percent of leagues, should be owned intent team leagues, and should be own in twelve team leagues because he does have immense upside. I don't think he's actually going to supplant Keenan Allen because they play different roles on

their team totally. Obviously, Keenan Allen is still the go to guy. He's dominating targets for this team, but he's more of the possession guy. He's the guy that Philip Rivers leans on more often. But what we're seeing Mike Williams takeover is that he has he has thirteen less targets on the season than Keenan Allen, yet he has twenty more air yards this year, so he's being targeted more so as he down the field. Threat We're seeing guys like Travis Benjamin kind of fall by the wayside.

He's not really playing much anymore. His snaps are going way down. For the Los Angeles Chargers. Tyro Williams is still playing more than Mike Williams, which is annoying honestly, but he is not being targeted as as much as Mike Williams down the field. He's not being targeted more overall, and Mike Williams um is being targeted in the red zone.

He has three red zone targets to Keenan Allen's four, but obviously has the the three targets, I mean the three touchdowns this year, and I believe Keenan Allen only has one UM, but Mike Himes is playing more overall over the past two weeks, Week one of the snaps Weeks two nice sixty seven point three in weeks three, I kind of I want to see Mike Williams start to supplant Tyer Williams though, and get that up until the percent of the snaps, which I think will happen

the more of the season goes on. I agree with I agree with that the more he gets his legs under a little bit, the more comfortable that Philip Rivers feels throwing him like it was a man child. Though you absolutely like both of his touchdowns that he scored this week. I'm watching in my house. I'm like, this guy is unstoppable because if if you're game planning to

stop the charters, who do you stop? You're gonna try and stop Keenan Allen, who would be a PPR monster and rack up easily, you know, ten to fifteen receptions on you if you wanted to, if Philip Vers wants to go that route, or they could throw the ball double digit times to Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler. So who do you try and stop? You try and stop

all these other weapons. Mike Williams is gonna have single covers, and I saw that when that happens in the red zone, especially, no one's gonna be able to stop him one on one. He's a six four wide receiver who runs good routes, has strong hands, and he can jump out of the gym. This is the reason why he was drafted as the what six or seventh overall player last year. I'll go as far as to say he might have more value than Corey Davis right now ready, who was being drafted

five rounds earlier. I agree with that. Mike Williams Corey Davis taken essentially back to back in last year's draft. People love Corey Davis Nan Child as well, but his quarterback situation, his offense, it's not great. Now. There are times this week, by the way, that Corey Davis looked really good, like get the ball in his hands and he can make some stuff happen. The offense is is not the offensive The Chargers have, just not Corey Davis

in that spot. It may be very very different. It's Blaine Gabbert or a Marcus Mariotta dealing with a nerve issue which we really don't know much about. They're clearly not going to throw the ball down the field. That is where Corey Davis would excel. But if you look at the Titans offense, no pass catcher is excelling on the seam right now. It's not Richard Matthews, it's not

Taiwan Taylor, it's not John lu Smith. Like their offense is just absolutely abysmal, and they're actually competing in game just because their defense is playing great. Now other wide receivers that are out there that I drive I talk the last week about dropping story. Shepherd said that with you. I said that to you. Every everywhere had a really really good game, and I think it's a direct result

to Evan Ingram getting hurt. Now Ingram well, here more about him, certainly on Thursday with Dry and Virginia as well. They're week he's week to week. He's not day to day. He's weeks to week. He's not gonna play this weekend, may not play next weekend either. That means Shepherd's value is going off. But if he was dropped, probably worth picking back up, especially in the short term. I will say that I don't think he has as much upside as any of the other wide receivers we talked about.

He probably has more upside than a guy like Christian Kirk just because of the Arizona Cardinals offense. But yeah, it's a direct correlation to Evan Ingram going down and Sterling Shepherd just stepping up. And this is what we've said before the season. Greg, the reason why I didn't like Evan Ingram is because there's too many mouths to feed, and we've seen that already. On the year, he's been inconsistent.

He scored a garbage time touchdown against the Cowboy Ways, But Odell Beckham and Sae Kwon Barkley are clearly going to touch the ball most in this offense, There's no question about that. And then on a week to week basis, is either going to be Shepherd or Ingram. What if Ingram's out. Shepherd is clearly the number three guy in the offense, and he saw him score the touchdown this past week, and that's because defenses are trying to stop

players like Odell Beckham and Sae Kwon Barkley. There's been two players that have been targeted inside the ten yard line for the Giants is here. One of those targets has gone to set Kwon Barkley. The other has gone to Sterling Shepherd. That's what resulted in touchdown this past week. There you go, There you go, Sterling Shepherd the number three option when Evan Ingram isn't around, and ultimately number three is so bad in an offense that should be

able to move the ball. I agree, he's way below all these other guys who talked about the Mike Williams and Tyler boys. That Calvin Ridley is the world of Sterling Shepherd. Certainly worth talking about some other wide receivers before we hit the break, Let's go to Green Bay and talk about Geronimo Allison. You talk about from number three targets, Donald Allison's probably the number three, maybe number four,

depending on where you value Randall Cobb. But he's a three just score touchdown really any week when Aaron Rodgers is throwing the ball. That's why I like to draft him, and that's why I think he's probably worth picking up. I think he's a good bench guy, probably good bye guy. Yeah,

he absolutely is. And you know I was watching um the lineup lock Live show on on Sunday morning, and Corey, to his credit, said that Donalmo Allison is a week in, week outstarter in PPR, and it doesn't it surprises you, but he's had at least twelve PPR points in each of his first three games. Um, you still want to see those targets come up. He's third on the team in terms of targets share ryandad cops getting targeted a

lot still and that's annoying for Geronimo Allison owners. But Allison right now is the one that's actually putting up the points. So I would still rank him behind Bridley Boyd and Mike Williams, probably ahead of Sterling Shephard just because he's the number three in a better offense in green. But I agree with that. Jordy Nelson's owned six percent of fantasy leagues. Frank he picking him up? No, Yeah,

out of the running backs go top. Next, there's only one place to listen into the best fantasy advice, and that's the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

Literally, who's that? I guess as good as mine. Alright, So someone dude just walked in here. Corey the bouncer did not do his job. It seems Um weaves a friend with Mike. He's kind of looking around. So I'll figure it out after the program figured out. Figure it out. No a deal. Are there any other

wide receivers you want to mention? Frank before we move on? I listed Antonio Callaway just owned he was targeted. I believe it was double digit times last week and that Thursday night game. And this goes back to the whether you believe he was a backup or a starter all along in training camp, but he was likely working with

Baker Mayfield a lot so ring the preseason. And Jarvis Landry has his role on the team, he has that Antonio Brown role in the Todd Haley offense, so he's going to easily be the most targeted player on this team. But I think Antonio Callaway has a role Um, and given how accurate Baker Mayfield was I mean, the most accurate quarterback in college history in all three levels of the past game down the field as well. Antonio Callaway is gonna have some value here. He's behind everyone that

we've mentioned except for would you rather have Calaware Kirk? Yeah, I think I agree with you, But it's close. It's close, But yeah, he's Uh. If all those other guys are owned from Ridley, Mike Williams, Jernimo Allison, and if Callaway is available, because he's only I think he's a guy worth mentioning. Yeah, I completely completely agree with all of that. Let me get some players to drop. You asked me a good one during the break. Mike Williams is out there.

You're dropping Mike. You're dropping Corey Davis or Mike Williams. Yeah. Someone in YouTube chat just asked the same question about both Mike Willams and Calvin Ridley, and I said I would tyler him in there too. I would drop Corey Davis to certainly get Calvin Ridley right now. I do it from Mike Williams, I would. I mean, how long can you wait into a fantasy season, especially you know,

if you're dying for a win. Look, if you drafted Corey Davis in the fifth or sixth round where he was going and you probably need help at the wide receiver position right now. You can't afford to wait. Ideally, I would want to hold onto him. I still think that he has upside based on everything that we've seen from this Titans offense. It's just not clicking right now. Blaine Gabbert Marcus Mariota with the injury. Uh, they're not

throwing the ball down the field. They're not getting creative with Corey Davis, something that we thought that they would be doing, but it just hasn't worked out. So I'll take the production of what you're getting out of all three of those other guys right now than what you're getting out of Corey Davis. Listen, the fact is meber Got Mariota can barely group of football. I don't mean that to say that like haphazardly, like he's having trouble

doing it. He's not gonna be able to throw it down field because he's not gonna be able to have the touch on it, and marks Mariot to really relies on touch. I'm very, very worried about the value of a guy like Corey Davis. Um Chris Hogan. He's talking about him yesterday and I got some responses. He's like, come on, you're not actually dropping Chris Hogan. Chris Hogan versus all the guys, the top guys that we mentioned.

I'll leave Christian Kirk and Antonio Callaway out of there because I don't think you're doing that, but Mike Williams, Calvin Ridley, and Tyler Boyd the top three options. We'd say all the waiver wire this week, potentially dropping Chris

Hogan for those guys. I could see doing it in a ten team league, because that's those are the only leagues where I could see these guys being available, But even in a twelve teamer Again, it's similar to Corey Davis, not to the same extent, because I still think that Chris Hogan has more upside because he plays in the Patriots offense, and we saw that last year, even with Brandon Cooks around, even with Gronk around, even with James

White catching passes YEP. The first nine games that Chris Hogan played last year, he was a top fifteen wide receiver. So he doesn't need a huge target share in order to be viable for Fantasy he's a guy that can, you know, if everything's working out, give you six dyrds and a touchdown every single week. Might not have crazy outside, but he's still he has a safe floor, or at

least he did last year. But what he's doing so far this season, Calvin Ridley, Mike Williams, and Tyler Boyd all have established roles on their team and they're producing right now, and Chris Hogan is not. So with guys like Julian Edelman and Josh Gordon on the men on the way back, I think the outlook for those other three players just looks better right now, and especially if you need the help again, if you start oh in three or one and two, you're kind of like you're

back against the against the wall. You can't afford to wait on guys like Chris Hogan and Corey Davis forever you need to win, and especially if those wide receivers are available. I would do it, But similar to Corey Davis, I wouldn't want to drop Chris Hogan obviously, no, you know how high it was on him. But if you need to win, then you have to pick up players

who are producing. I'll say this, I'll do it. For y your Boyd for sure, because I think Tyler Boyd right now, especially depending on how hurt aj Green is because the number one option in the offense numer number one. I'll do it everywhere for that. I don't know that I could do it for Calarudley and Mike Williams quite yet in a twelve team league atempting league. Fine Tea, I don't think I could pull that trigger. But how good do you feel about starting Chris Hogan this week?

After another dud? Again? It's been off on like Week one was terrible, and he scored two touchdowns against the Jaguars, and that's what his upside can be. He he could be matchup proof because he has Tom Brady as his quarterback. Then last week against the Detroit Lions, he laid another egg. This week he's going up against the Miami Dolphins secondary, which has been phenomenal this year. Greg Xavier Howard, a guy that I've consistently brought up, is now shadowing opposing

wide receivers. He did so last week against the Marii Cooper and he shut him down and they and they have Minka Fitzpatrick now too, who is extremely versatile. He could play in the slot as a nickel corner. He could play as a safety. He did that last week feeling, and as a starting safety, you can use as a safety, as a corner or a cornerback. This Dolphins defense is legit. They have a good defensive line, they have good pass rushers and Robert Quinn and Cameron Wake and they have

an underrated secondary. Right now, how great you are you gonna feel about starting Chris Hogan this week? Not great, I'm telling you right now, I'm gonna have Mike Williams ranked higher going up against the San Francisco forty Niners defense, which is gonna be without Richard Sherman. Call really ranked higher as well. I will because in a game against and I'm gonna have Tyler Boyd ranked hire as well, even if A J. Green plays. The Bengals and the Falcons right now are at fifty one and a half

at their over under. Let's the second highest over under behind only the Chiefs. We're facing the Broncos just because the Chiefs have to have the highest over under every single week. Of course, they're scoring nearly forty points game every single game, But that Falcons and Bengals game is

gonna be an absolute shootout from both sides. I think there's gonna be points scored on both sides on um to some running backs before we have a video feed here another really here, we talked about Buck Allen every week. I don't kind of want I don't really want to get into it again, buck Allen. You mentioned Chris Ivory here. Depending on the genis availability for this weekend. You know, running back is an absolute crash right now. There's nothing,

there's nothing to add from the Eagles. Guys like you don't want to get involved in Wendel Smallwood. Even if Coleman is somehow available, I don't think he would be. But j j I is expecting to be back this week, as is Darren Sprowls. I think Peterson actually said yesterday just a complete Eagles jumbled up running back situation, which is really why I was not high on a Ji coming into the season. And then Buck Allen once again.

You know I spoke about him yesterday. He's scoring touchdowns, he's getting to go line work, but he's getting like twenty yards a game. He's gonna have a game where he doesn't score a touchdown. The guy isn't gonna score sixteen or twenty touchdowns this year. So in the game where he doesn't score a touchdown, he's gonna give you twenty to thirty yards maybe you know, three or four receptions,

and he's not gonna do anything else. So he actually played more snaps than Alex Collins this past week in a game that's set up well for Alex Collins. So I don't really know what else to say about that. What look, Allen should be own if you're an Alex Collins owner, no question, no question about it. Now as we get into tight end and defenses, yere for a moment, Tyler Efforts probably the number one tight end I don't want to own right now out of these dudes on

the list. Um, he got involved. Obviously CUM is still involved. But I think Tyler Eifert woke up a little bit this week, which is nice. Yes, he certainly did. He easily had his best game of the season. Um, he was the second most targeted player on the team for the Bengals this week. So that's what we wanted to see. Um, Well, not if you're Tyler Boyd owner, but overall, if you like Tyler Eifert and his upside for the season. You wanted to see him bounce back and get some targets

in this game, and that's exactly what he did. And again, we're gonna just keep We're gonna keep pounding this Falcons and Bengals game all week long. But we just saw Ben Watson have like seventy yards receiving on five receptions against the Falcons defense. So um, and they lost their top safety, they lost both safeties, actually, they lost their top cover linebacker. They lost Dion Jones, Kiano O'Neil, and Ricardo Allen. Those are the guys who are normally gonna

be faced with with guarding tight ends. And now Tyler Eiffert seems like he's going to be in for a good matchup this week against the Falcons. So I agree with you, but I think that there are some other interesting names out there, just to name a few. Ben Watson thirty on going up against the Giants UH this week, and we know what their woes were last year against guardian tight ends. They've been better this year for sure, but they haven't really faced a team that utilizes the

tight end all that much. So I think Ben Watson is sneaky if you've lost Evan ingram Um and Vance McDonald as well is another one. I think this is a frustrating situation because weekend and week out, how do we know if it's Jesse James, if it's Vance McDonald. I think the team wants Jesse James to be the blocking tight end and Vance McDonald to be that pass catching tight end um who can be versatile as a receiver lining up at the line of scrimmage as well.

That's obviously why they traded for him, So I think he has upside um. And then there's also Dallas Goddard. Shout out to Jim Day, who has been a huge Dallas Goddard film all year long. Just played had it up here fifty five snaps in Week three, which was by far a season high. He played seventeen in each of weeks one and two, played fifty five this week. That was sixty seven percent of the snaps he called. He was targeted seven times, called all seven scored a

touchdown as well. So if Alston Jeffrey is not back this week for the Eagles, I think Dallas Goddard is going to be a moorderline uh tight end one again this week. Yeah, I think it could be definitely a sneaky play with Dallas Goddard essentially as the wide receiver three there in Philadelphia, behind zach Ertz and behind Nelson. Idealor so, I think that could be, as I said, a sneaky play there, Um players to drop. We're here's the defenses. When we wrap up, I want to do

this before we have to sign off. YouTube players to drop. You've listed a whole bunch here. None of the drain interesting to me. No, they're not. Because Robby and d J. Moore, John Ross, Anthony Miller. You're dropping all of them, not thinking about it, like you're dropping for anybody that's that These aren't but their own. They're still own in twelve teen weeks. So that's why I wanted to mention them. Drop them all. Robby Anderson, Duke Johnson, Peregarson, d J. Moore,

John Ross, Anthony Miller, you're dropping every single one of them. Fine, let me get to the harder ones, right. Imagine yesterday we medged today earlier. Chris Hogan and Corey Davis. I think those are really interesting. Rex Burkhead, I think he's dropbable. I agree with you, Brandon, Marshall, I think he's dropable. I agree with you. That was kind of all had to like lined up. Well, we're in ingredients. Look Rex Burkehead, what we said about him yesterday, right, Sony Michelle saw

Moore snaps this week. Um, he was being used really as the early down guy. He had fifteen carries in that game, rushed for about fifty yards. Um. Rex Burkhead is banged up right now and just doesn't really seem to fit what the Patriots are doing. If they are playing with the lead and they want to run the ball, I think it's gonna be a lot of Sony Michelle

and otherwise it's just James White doing everything else. We even saw James White get some carries in that game late, um, and he's obviously the past catcher out of the backfield. We thought Rex Burkehead wou be that Dion Louis Mold, that he can do a little bit of everything. But I think this injury is hurting him more than people are more than they are leading on um, which is

why he left that game. I just don't think he has much value in Is DeVante Parker droppable or any of the wide receivers we mentioned today, Yes, absolutely, even even Callaway and Christian Kirk. I would say just because the Dolphins target share right now, people don't realize Jachem Grant leads this team and target so it's just it's another frustrating situation. It's really a wide receiver by committee is which is what I've seen. Fantasy Twitter kind of

referred to it as Kenny Stills. That's why it's so frustrating. With Kenny Stills, You're not going to know when to start him because he's only getting five targets a week, but he's catching these long touchdowns. So, um, whether it's Jachim Grant, Albert Wilson, Kenny Stills, DeVante Parker on a weekend week out, you're not gonna know that's gonna do it for us. On the video stream, we're gonna sign off YouTube now. We will of course be back tomorrow.

Come up next Fantasy for Ball Frenzy, Corey Parson, Jim Day and Chris Ventra for the next five minutes. Will go of course on the radio and finish out our podcast, which you can hear on iTunes, SoundCloud, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcast. You can find us, give us five stars, leave a comment, and most importantly subscribe. We really appreciate it. Frankie, can you drop Yeah, I don't know,

You've got nothing went over the street. So what I wrote down this week is the Seahawks at the Arizona Cardinals, obviously going up against the rookie quarterback. The Seahawks are starting to get healthy now and had a big week

last week against Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. The Cleveland Browns are still only owning six percent of leagues and the Oakland Raiders are in the bottom five in terms of offense points scored on the season, so their offense is not moving well right now, even if their home in the black hole. I think the Browns defense has proved to us that they are legit at this point. And this is just a really deep just based on the matchup. The Cowboys are not scoring a lot of

points right now. Dak Prescott is turning the ball over. I wrote the Detroit Lions in because they looked much improved last week against New England Patriots. From Tom Brady, there you go, and I think it's very very interesting. I like the Packers um against the Bills I think they're gonna be They're gonna be out there. The Lions obviously looked improved against the Patriots, Um, like you said. And the Browns are good defense. That's just what it is they are. I mean, Myles Garrett is a freak

of nature. To have Ogan Joby on the defensive line was absolutely getting it done right now. To Denzel Ward is playing the part of a top five pick in the NFL draft. He was the fourth overall pick and and really does look the part to this point in the season. So they have some pieces on defense there. Like I feel like we should just mention quarterbacks quick just because Jimmy Garoppolo went down. Um, and if these guys are available, I think Andy dall Alton leads the

charge totally. It's been is it for the week or for the season. Do you think Baker Mayfield has more season long value than Andy Dalton? I don't know. It's fun like Andy Dalton, It's definitely more fun. I'm not going to dispute that at all. Like you don't want to own Andy Dalton. You don't see much upside there, but he's the QB twelve on the season so far. And I referenced the numbers since Bill Laser has taken over as the offensive coordinator last year, it's now seventeen games.

It's something like last week it was thirty one touchdowns and nine interceptions, so I think he had two and two. So it's like thirty three touchdowns and eleven interceptions over his last seventeen games. That's pretty efficient and he's getting it done in this Bill Laser offense. So multiple touchdown passes in four straight games dating back to last season for Andy Dalton are gonna keep just hammering this game

against the Falcons. I think there's gonna be a lot of points scored um and that Falcons defense has allowed three hundred and thirty five passing yards and three touchdowns in back to back games. So I like Andy Dalton for this week more than more than Ryan tannehim more than Baker Mayfield, and I think I like him most for the season long as well. Well. It's not the sexiest option. I'll agree with you now, it's not, but

I understand. I understand where you're coming from. If you need Jimmy g and Andy Dalton certainly got on the waiver y or maybe he started bleak Bortles last week we thought was a great matchup. You were streaming quarterbacks that didn't work out for you. Mayfield, Dalton my favorite too. Um, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen. Quarterback leagues, you're out there. You picked up Josh Allen, like you said last week, So they're starting quarterbacks two quarterback league. You have to be

old Baker. Mayfield might not have been owned because you know he wasn't starting so right. People might have not rostered him so obviously in two quarterback leagues or in super Flex, you're gonna be blowing some fab this week on Baker on Josh Rosen or on Josh Allen, Josh Allon. Don't forget sneaky legs man. He can he can run and he showed that last week when he heard a defender in the middle of the field. Um, he was impressive both throwing and Russia. That's gonna do it for us.

Fantasy Football Frenzy is up next the Corey Parson, Jim Day and Chris Bensher. My name is Greg Sousman. Thank you so much for watching and listening. The Fantasy best Friends Forever A he stampled two. We'll do it all again tomorrow, we hope, m hmm.
