Yeah, that's welcome Hap your host by Bay from Sun by Guy Bro say Francis frantic stand ball ladies and tell me in yours With that, we welcome you inside of Studio thirty four. This is that we have apps. Here's Frank Stample. I am Greg Sauceman. What's happening, Reggy? What's going on? Greggy? Happy Tuesday to you as we prepare for bye mcgetting Everything's not a
magetting by NATO. Nope, not a thing. Everyone doesn't have to be a thing. Why not just the biggest bie week of the year. It happens every year, biggest bye week of the year. Let's not have fun with it. Let's not be creative. How's that creative? There's six teams on a bye everybody, we are here to do a waiver why show? And let you know which quarterbacks, defenses and tight ends you should be streaming this week. Welcome to the BFFs. But like, how is that creative? Everything?
That was the beginning? Oh my god, it was fabi palooza, and then you made it fabruloso, which is which was way worse. It was super so arts, what's your creative nickname for the bye week? Very easy? Bye bye bye, bye bye bye. Six teams. That's perfectly far that I appreciate. Like that, Yeah, bye bye bye bye bye bye week. There you go. I could do one of these and then you could do it the other way. Bye bye bye, bye bye bye. There you go. Love it. It works
out perfectly. Probably should have talked about that before the show. I think we pulled it off. Are you doing Greg? You were at the Giants game last night? You got to witness the black Cat magic. Yeah, so unfortunately more people talking about that that has terrible the Giants playing, which is like annoying. Um, it's actually a good thing for the Giants. Right. So I wait. I went to the Giants game and I sat with our the CEOs,
all right, Jeremy Stein right. And so I'm sitting next to this guy and he tells me, I'm just gonna let you know this box. It's filled with, um, you know, people from the Metal Lands that like our work there. It's filled with representatives from some of the companies of the Medal Lands of partnerships with and it's filled with the general gamblers that Vanduel is putting in this box. Okay, cool man. So it's you, Jeremy, and a people, eight other a lot more. There's a lot of people in
this box. Then he goes, just to be clear, I am one of those the generat gamblers, all right man. He's like, yeah, I'm taking the Cowboys money line. I go, alright, cool dude, that's great. And I bet on the Pelicans and I've been on the Sixers money line. Ye all right, yeah, put a small bet like five bucks and the Pelicans. I'm like, what, all right, cool man. So then we're
sitting there at the Cowboys game. Every time like the Giants like got our first down, he would like, check and listen we do in game live all the time, right in game, betting how the lines changed the whole deal. I saw with a guy with a degenerate next to me on his phone every time the Giants got a first down, checking the line and putting more and more money on the Dallas money line. It got the point where the Giants went up to touchdown that he liked.
The Giants were finally or the Cowboys were plus money at that point in game, and he put thousands and I swear to you not exaggerating thousands on the Cowboys last night. At one point, it's like, hey, dude, first my phone is he can officially placed the bett. Go I am not doing that because not. At one point later on in the second half, the Sons were down four and they were so how plus sorry, the Sixers were down four and they were like plus four hundred.
This is ridiculous. I've been bucks, like, you can't like that, like fifty no, yeah, no, no, dude, I was pretty sure lost. They didn't. Oh they did. I'm sitting next to Jeremy who's beending thousands and thousands of dollars during this Giant's Cowboys game. He texted me this morning and he goes quote, I made a solid in your books last night, and I'm like, oh my god, crazy crazy.
That was like I've never experienced that watching a game before. Again, you're watching game live, like you see Gabe doing, and you see Gabe talk about it, and you see all the other experts we have, Jared Smith is a fantastic job with this camp Stewart as well. But to be in the room with some different correct while he's on his phone place in bets and seeing that it's real money, right, Like you can see Gabe go to the window and
he talks about it. I'm looking thousands of dollars, man, like thousands, No, No, I would I would be petrified, man, petrified. I can't handle that. Well, I'm sorry, Greg, I'm sorry that you know you couldn't handle the gambling that was going on around you. You probably couldn't probably couldn't handle the play of the New York Giants as well. Greg. It was awful. It was very bad. It was very bad football. That was a rough one. That was a
rough one. And I heard game talking about earlier the offensive play calling of the Giants, and I think he does have a an accurate gripe with them, you know, trying to drop these plays where Daniel Jones has to stay in the pocket and he has to kind of wait for things to develop. This should be an offense where you get the ball out of your hands quickly. And we know that Daniel Jones is better with those
short to intermediate routes. Anyway, So you have Golden Tate, and you have Evan and Gram and you have stay Quon Barkley, all these players that are phenomenal after the catch, and they're having Daniel Jones hold onto the football. And let's remember he's still a rookie. He doesn't really have the pocket presence yet. So he starts moving around a little bit, Boom gets sacked, drops the football. I mean him dropping the football is a huge issue. Right now.
He is fumbling left and right. That's about to get a lot better in week ten when he faces the New York Chits. I'll tell you that right now, they do not have a pass rush that's good in the NFL and sex So we're both reniver are or other teams like, aren't even the Jets? You were even the Giants? Why would you be rooting for the Jets? So the Giants have a better chats a chase Young. Look the Jets the Giants are not gonna get changed. They're not
gonna get chasing. It's the chase for chase that makes sense. Like that, you see, I don't. I just don't completely pooh pooh everything that you throw out there, Greg, like you do to me and everything. I like your shirt. I came in today. I said, it's a nice shirt. I like it for your shirt. Thank you. You don't poo I don't who everything. And when's the last time you said I was wearing a nice shirt? Huh? I
feeling relatively recently. Actually, I don't believe you. But um, I commented on your costume and I really liked it last Friday. I love it. A lot of people really liked it as well. I told you on the area I liked it. I liked White Goodman. Any other takeaways from this game, Greg, Um? Any other takeaways from this game? It was pretty standard. Awesome touchdown. Awesome touchdown by Michael Gallup. That was great. Transportation home from MetLife Stadium terrible, very bad, awful.
Let's take away we're get away from the game, then a waiver Wired Tuesday is up Natural let you know you gotta pick up. Are you ready for the nation's first and only free, twenty four hour network dedicated to you the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Grade will provide you with a real time content, statistics and gaming
intelligence unlike anything you've ever seen before. Located both in the heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel Sports book at the meadow Lands, sports Crade is live eighteen hours a day here to serve you the fanatic. This is sports Gride. Get all the grid. Before we get to the waiver where I we do want to mention some witterback news that is he around the NFL.
Let's start in Carolina or Cam Newton placed in the i R. He has done for the season, Kyle Allen show like it has been all season and he's played relatively well. He's done enough to win games so far
with the Carolina Panthers this year. Obviously had the rough showing against the San Francisco forty Niners, but looking back on that game in hindsight, we now know that the forty Niners have one of the best defenses in the NFL, specifically their past defense on the season Kyle Allen is five and one in the games that he has started. He started six games with nine touchdowns and four interceptions, so he's not lighting it up, but he's doing enough to keep the Panthers in games and they are just
riding Christian McCaffrey. So I think that that's what they need him to be. They need him to be a game manager and defense plays all right, and then just have Christian McCaffrey takeover. I believe we have some other news as well, Greg we knew, and that's in Jacksonville, where Minshu mania is over. Nick Foles will be the starting quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's interesting because after the game, London Dogma said, yeah, I'll probably make a
decision like next Sunday or so. It took him twenty four hours and he made a decision Foles time. Yeah, he made that rather quickly. I still think that Gardner Minshew has a role in the NFL, either as a backup or you know, if other teams come knocking and they want to give Gardner Minshew a shot. We've seen this in the past where backup quarterbacks play well and then they get a shot for another team. Uh, they were talking about that with I believe it was Nick
Mullins last year. Greg, remember he was playing well. Ultimately that didn't come to fruition with him landing with another team. But we've seen like Matt Flynn step up and then he gets the big contract with the Seahawks, so we'll see. I think that Gardner Minshew is actually a player in the league. He did not look that way this past week in London against the Houston Texans. Had some really errand throws, but no outside of those, I mean thirteen
touchdowns this year four interceptions. Can make some plays with his legs, which is what you need in the NFL. Now. You need a quarterback that can move around the pocket, get outside the pocket and make some plays. He was averaging over two hundred fifty passing yards per game. But yeah, Nick Foles is back, and if you're playing a super flex league and he's not only just go out there and check and make sure that Nick Foles is owned
in your super flex leagues. He will be the quarterback coming back after the bye in Week eleven, which should mean good things for D. D. Westbrook because, as you remember, Greg, this was a guy who was climbing up draft boards, crept all the way into the sixth round of some fantasy football drafts during the summer. Greg and people like that he likes to lean on the slot. Indeed, Westbrook plays mostly in the slot. What does J charks value? So I do think that things have changed obviously, right,
we didn't know that DJ Chark. Nobody knew that DJ Chark, even his biggest fan, would have imagined him being this good this year. And I think that the Jaguars now know that he is a talented NFL player. He's a big body, he can make plays in the red zone, he can get down the field, he can make uh, he can make the contested catch as well. I don't think that he just completely goes away. I think a lot of this offense now flows through just three people.
It's gonna be Leonard four Nette, it's gonna be D. D. Westbrook, and it's gonna be d J Chark Chark. I think his value was already starting to how I'm back to life a little bit, um, come back to reality. As we've seen, the targets have come down a little bit, the touchdowns haven't been there as much recently, So I think He's a high end wide receiver. Three maybe low and wide receiver too. But I don't think that Nick Foles is just going and going to ignore him, because
it's clear that DJ Chark is very, very talented. Do you drop DJ Shark for the top wide receiver on the waiver wire this week the many waiver wires, which is probably Zach Pascal of the Indianapolis Colts. Pascal obviously had a good game. T Y Hilton nonspects a return for a few weeks here. Would you make that move? You know that DJ Shark is on by, you know that Nick Foles is back. Would you train in Pascal? Personally?
I would not. I would keep DJ Chark on my team. Again, I think that the talent is real when it comes to him, and Nick Foles is not going to ignore that. I like what I saw from Zach Pascal this week. There's a lot to like about him. T Y Hilton out the next three to four weeks as well. In Pascal played of the snaps in Week nine, ran forty routes, which was most among the Colts wide receivers, finished with
five catches seventy six yards. He had a touchdown. Bryan Hoyer looks like he's going to start this week, or at least that's how I would see this trending. Once he came in, he actually targeted Chester Rogers the most among their past catching options. I like Zach Pascal. He made some plays down the field. He had thirteen point three average depth of target. No other Colts pass catcher had an a DOT higher than nine this past week.
I think there's some upside there with Zach Pascal, but I think that there is still more upside with d J Charks. So Pascal one of the top wide receiver ads this week, Greig, but not over DJ Chark. So who is it one of the top wide receiver ads this week? If he's one of who is the ad? So? I keep getting questions about this player. He's not available in any of my leagues. But check to make sure
that he is not available in your league. Christian Kirk greg since he has returned over the past two weeks, has seen twenty percent of the target share for the Arizona Cardinals thirty six percent of their air yards. Both of those numbers lead the team over the past two weeks.
And Christian Kirk faces the Tampa Bay Bucks this week, who are allowing twenty four targets per game to wide receivers, the second most in the NFL, fifteen point one receptions per game to wide receivers second in the NFL, and nineties seven receiving yards per game second in the NFL to opposing wide receivers. Very bad against pass catchers, specifically
wide receivers right now. So I'm looking at Christian Kirk as a high end wide receiver three, maybe even low end wide receiver two in this matchup against Tampa Bay, and I like his upside for the rest of the season as well. So if Kirk is available, he's one of them. But then there are a few other names here that are available as well. Greg DeVante Parker, and Josh Reynolds are also names that stand out to me. Yeah, so I think DeVante Parker makes sense. Obviously, Preston Williams
is out for the season. DeVante Parker the clear number one option for Miami, whatever that means with Ryan Fitzpatrick, I'll get to Mica sucking in a little bit of DeVante Parker if he's out there, certainly the number one wide receiver for MA I'm certainly someone worth picking up here this week. Josh Reynolds. I've been a Josh Reynolds guy for a couple of years now. They know how many routes he ran after Brandon Cooks went out a
couple of weeks back. All the Josh Reynolds is you never feel comfortable starting in and this offense this year, with this Los Angeles Rams team all the same as it was last year. It's not as explosive. You don't want as many pieces you can get anymore. It's not like that they used Cooper Cup a lot. That's about it. You don't really like Todd Gurley, you don't really like Robert Woods. Gerald Effort's fine because you there's only seven
tenants you could start in all the fantas football. Josh Reynolds is a guy that sure pick him up, but you don't feel this love for the Los Angeles Rams offense that we felt earlier in this season and obviously a season ago. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I think that Josh Reynolds is behind Davonte Parker for me, definite, absolutely definitely behind Christian Kirk just a you other names, make sure that they're not available in your league. Jamison Crowder
against the Giants, Sterling Shepherd against the Jets. I would expect Sterling Shepherd hopefully returns this week from the concussion that's not gonna happen, right, has a better chance of story Shepherds over the year out for the year. Okay, Well, I was looking at the match up against the Jets, and I know that he was close to playing this weekend and got put back in the concussion protocol early on Sunday morning, which which actually helped because people were
able to get him out of their lineups. But yeah, make sure Jamison Crowder is available. Great things that Sterling Shepherd lands on I r I they they asked Pat sure about it, and they basically was like, this is very serious injury. You can't the second concussion this year. You can't rush in this and he having symptoms again. And I think, given what the Giants are two and
seven at this point, what are you doing? And I think you can kind of bring that back full circle to Brandon Cooks, who does not have a timetable, who is dealing with his second concussion this year and fourth documented concussion in the NFL. Again, I would rank Josh Reynolds behind some of those other names that we talked about, But I do think that there is some upside because he is going to start and play in their three
wide receiver sets. He stepped up in Week eight. He had three catches for seventy three yards and a touchdown while playing eight of the Snapsy ran thirty one routes on Jared On thirty four Jared golf dropbacks in Week eight as well. Last season, when Cooper Cup went down from Week eleven on, Josh Reynolds was the wide receiver thirty five. Overall. Of course, the Ram's offense looked a lot better last year than it did this year. Okay,
I'm gonna throw something out there to you. I think Devanta Parker has more long term upside this season than Zach Pascal, and I'll tell you why. Over the past couple of weeks, since Ryan Fitzpatrick has taken over the as the quarterback here, Parker is seeing tent of the targets, sharey percent of the air yards for the Miami Dolphins. He's wide receiver seventeen. He has a top twenty wide receiver in Fantasy points per game over the past three weeks.
With Ryan Fitzpatrick as the quarterback. He's seeing volume. They don't have a good defense, they play from behind a lot. They're one of the teams that passed the most in the NFL, and Ryan Fitzpatrick frankly does not give an f He is going to sling the ball around. And with Preston Williams going down, during that same span, Preston Williams was also seeing the targets share. There's more targets to go around, there's more are yards to go around.
There's just more opportunity, and t Y Hilton likely going to be back at some point. So if you're just asking me for this week, I probably like Pascal More. But for the long term, I like Devonte Parker more. I don't think there's any question the Devanta Parker is the guy I remember the Indianapolis closed. They want to run the football. They're going to run the football, and Ty Hilton is coming back, Preston Williams is not. Miami is always gonna be down. They're gonna be throwing the football.
They're gonna be throwing it to DeVante Parker and potentially Mike Kasecki. We'll tell you why we like Kazecki as a top waiver wire ad we return. You're in the b FS. Are you ready for the nation's first and only free, twenty four hour network dedicated to you, the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast.

It's temper sent off right now, Deily Roder dot com slash dunk. We're millionaires are made. Did you hear the promo slash dunk? I did I heard it? Slash dunk. There you go, crushing it? Absolutely? Absolutely okay. I mentioned during the break, how Dvante Parker if he's out there, he's your guy,
he's your number one guy, potentially Ryan Fitzpatrick. But if and we know you do need a tight end, why
not Mikecasecki. It's a good question. Greg I put out a poll before the show asking who the top waiver wire ad is this week between Ronald Jones, Zach Pascal, DeVante, Parker, and Mike A. Micasecki is only getting six percent of the vote right now, so I think people are just looking at the upside of the other running backs and wide receivers, But if you do need a tight end this week, and I think Gasecki is one of, if
not the top name available. Mentioned that Preston Williams is now done for this season with that knee injury, leaves behind of the target share that comes over the past three weeks with Ryan Fitzpatrick as the quarterback, So there's targets to go around here. And I really like Mike Kasecki's athletic profile. Greg. He was drafted in the second
round out of Penn State. His metrics were insane nineties, six percentile or better in the forty yard dash, in speed first agility scores, and catch radius at the tight end positions, so I think there's a lots of like there. He's playing more snaps over sixty percent of the snaps in each of the past two weeks with the Miami Dolphins, ran thirty three routes on forty six Fitzpatrick dropbacks this past week, Greg, he's playing, He's on the field, starting
to see more targets. Just had six receptions for ninety five yards against the New York Jets, and he's going up against the Indianapolis Colts this week, who just allowed a touchdown Vance McDonald And they're allowing these seven most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. So I think that there is a lot to like with Mikeasecki. I would rank him as the top tight unavailable, assuming that Generald Everett is not available in your in your league, Yeah,
Gerald Evert is not there. And I think that Micasecki, who I picked a couple of weeks ago, I was thinking, Hey, why not this flyer? He didn't do all that much and I do wonder if much of what he did passed It is because hey, they were facing the Jets. I don't know. Kasecki is as good of a shot as any. And the question I asked you downstairs, I think it's valid. Who would you rather have Micasecki or
another potential tight end pick up Jack Oil. Yeah, I would go with Giseki, just because there's less mouths to feed in the Miami Dolphins offense. They lost Mark Walton yesterday, which we're going to talk about to a four game suspension.
They really don't have a lot of playmakers on this team, and a lot of pass catchers, specifically so mentioned how much they like to pass the ball in Miami because they're down a lot of the time this season, but they need someone to catch the ball when they throw it, and I think a Ski is someone who is going to have to step up. They're they're probably going to mix and match those other wide receivers with Alan Hearns
and Albert Wilson and Jachim Grant. Actually think Jachim Grant is the one that replaces Preston Williams on the outside because he plays that, you know, that outside wide receiver role, whereas Hearns and Albert Wilson have been splitting slot receiver duties. So I think Grant is the one that's he's the biggest uptick in playing time. I like Jack doyle greg
good matchup going up against Miami. We just saw Ryan Griffin have a pretty good game against them, but still has to split time with Eric E. Brown, which is annoying because it just takes away enough to not make Jack Doyle a consistent option for fantasy football. But Doyle coming off a game where he did score a touchdown and saw four targets from Brian Hoyer, So I'm interested in Doyle. I think he's a good streamer against the Dolphins, but I like Assecki's matchup more this week, and I
think he actually has a more long term upside as well. Alright, so Mike Asseki the choice over Jack Doyle year this week. Where's some other tight ends there worth picking up? The only other name that I'm really looking at as a stream here is Jacob Hollister. It's a tough matchup going up against the San Francisco forty Niners, but he just played a season high eighty percent of the snaps with the Seattle Seahawks. He saw six targets four percent of
the target chair, and he scored two touchdowns. He also ran a ton of routes. He ran thirty nine routes on fifty two Russell Wilson dropbacks. They've been looking for a tight end to replace um who's the gentleman Will dis Lee? Will dis Lee now and I are how quickly you forget the legend of Will dis Lee, But they need a tight end to replace his production. I think Jacob Hollister is in play as a stream just
because he had some end zone targets last week. But let's not forget this team is likely getting Josh Gordon active this week in week ten against the forty niners as well. Alright, so those are the tight end choices here this week. So let's move on to the running max rank, and that brings us to the new Tampa Bay Bucks starter Ronald Jones officially. Oh was he named the starters that just came out yesterday? Said he's the starter it so we're starting to get some faith in
Ronald Jones. Jones has finally been freed George Michael reference. How would I look in a and a dangling cross earring? I actually used to rock it back in college. What do you think? I believe it heartedly, so I bring it back. King hates it. I'm sure she does. I really enjoy it. She like your double ear ring? Yes? She actually she loves the double hoop earring. Really, she said that was one of the things that attracted her
to me because it was unique. But only in one ear, only one ear, nothing on the right, only only on the left side. We've got the double hoop earring. How did you choose to be left and the right ear
to get your ears pierced? Well, there was an urban legend back in the day that if you're a male, you probably shouldn't just have your right ear pierce and not your left one, so it's it's it's more acceptable if you pierce just your left one and not you're right, You're probably right, to be honest, but we went with the left ear. My dad has his left ear pierce, so following in the don Johnny gona get his left ear pier. I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon.
I really would like to bring back the cross earing, though, but my fiance hates it, so we're putting it on the shelf. You know, maybe once we get married. You know, you can't say anything then, right, you get another piercing. Would you get another piercing? I guess, I just I don't know where. Probably your card lit car. No, I wouldn't do that. It probably wouldn't be in my ear. No, not an eyebrow guy. Probably nothing on the face either.
A nipple, why I'm not a nipple. Dudes with belly button rings doesn't It doesn't make a lot of sense. Dave Batista nose, I look all right with a I don't think so. I'm definitely not gonna do the eyebrow. The eyebrow doesn't really go away, kind of always like you always always kind of see the remnants of the eyebrow. Probably wouldn't go lip right. Definitely not out, Lita, It's not my thing a person. I'm going to guess that you were just never gonna get any piercing out. No piercing,
no pierce your tattoos for Craig Sussman. Probably none for me either. I think that ship has sailed, but Ronald Jones named the starter for tonal ship. We are excited that hopefully this is the last time we're talking about Ronald Jones as an ad in fantasy football this season, because we talked about this before and we've been let down in the past. There have been a lot of games where Tampa Bay is playing from behind. I don't
know that that's gonna be the case this week. As of now, the early line has Tampa Bay lane four and a half as a home favorite against the Arizona Cardinals. I think it's a good match up for Ronald Jones as well. They allow four point four yards for carry too posing running backs here twenty six and run defense dv o w A. Ronald Jones just played a career
high of the snaps for the Bucks. Saw eighteen carries against the Seattle Seahawks only ran for sixty seven yards and a touchdown, but the eight teen carries represented seventy eight percent of the Bucks running back carries in this game also saw two targets, which was more than darray Ogun and bowal A say that three times Fast already messed it up, Greg, more than a Goomber, Wally and Peyton Barber combined. So I'm very excited about the opportunity
for Ronald Jones moving forward. And he's actually out there in a decent number of leagues, Greg, Yeah, he was actually out there more than I thought I was ready to be, Like, dude, he's he's only everywhere Grey. He was actually available over sixty leagues. Yeah, he's not available in the leagues that you are I playing, Greg. I mean we're playing a few, you know, high stakes leagues, some deeper bench spot leagues, and he's not available there. But he is owned in only forty two pcent of
Yahoo League. So he's out there in some in somebody's league, probably some twelve teamers, more likely some ten teamers. But make sure you get out there even if you want to try and acquire Ronald Jones. Somebody else who has owned Ronald Jones all season is looking at this situation and saying, I've done this before with Ronald Jones. You know he has a big game than the next three games they mix and match. Try and acquire Ronald Jones right now. I think now is the time to do it.
He has officially been named the starter, and it looks like his workload and usage is trending in the right direction. Greg, alright, So Ronald Jones obviously somebody that you want to count on the second half of the year, essentially, somebody that could be a league winner, the league winner that we have wanted quite a long time. Hashtag free road Joe shout out to the closes, I should be hashtag Rojo freed probably fair, Yeah, past tense. We'll see if we
could trust it this week or not. Greg, you're making the drum on Darius guys for a while now. If he's still out there, you you gotta make a move and we're not. They gotta say something here. So we started the show rightfully, so talking about your boy, e wise boy, who expected to return to the program tomorrow. I think I know where this is going. D Parker and I was like, okay, makes sense. Presion Williams is out number one. I received. Then your favorite tight end
this week was Mike Kasecki. I am now a Dolphins fan. Don't you know that? Okay? I understand the reasons. And yet after Ronald Jones and after your boy Darius guys, You're top running back is Klin Milage. Have you have you seen every slash slash Miles Gaskins, who let's go Miles. Have you seen every Dolphins running back this year? Dolphins? It looks pretty good on the Cardinals. Every Dolphins running back. Calen Blas is very bad. Sucks, He's very bad. Don't
pick up Kalin Milage? Was what about in those fourteen teamers, Greg, Opportunity always leads to production and throw it out there, and old King Tommy, I thought I would throw it out there. Greg. I think it would be ignorant if we did not talk about what happened yesterday with Mark Walton. So we'll see what happens. Calen Blas is very bad. You're right. Thirty five rushes for seventy five yards this year. My math is correct. That's two point zero yards per carry.
I do have a little bit more interest in Miles Gaskin, who had nearly six thousands scrimmage yards in his four year career at sixty two total touchdowns. So let's see, you know what Frank saying, Yeah in a fash, give me a fish. Let's talk about the places in your bye week. Guys.

should we move on from the Miami Dolphins. I'm not this guy out. Yeah. Ultimately, there's not a lot of upside with the Miami backfield we've seen even Mark Walton has not done much. Kenyan Drake did not do much earlier on in the season. But if you're in a deeper league and you want to just take a shot, I think Miles Gaskin is the one to look at. He was a rookie out of Washington, sixth round pick for the Miami Dolphins. Will see if he gets involved
this week, it likely just leads to more passing. And why we like Devontae Parker and we like Mike Gasecki as much as we do. There are a few other running backs just to pay attention to. I'm I'm looking at Gus Edwards and now is the time to be adding your handcuff running backs as well. If you have a Christian McCaffrey, make sure you get Rogie Reggie Bonafon. If you have a Todd Gurley, make sure you get Darryl Henderson, make sure you have Alexander Madison. If you
own Dalvin Cook. I think the same thing could be said with Gus Edwards when it comes to mark ingram and maybe maybe even if you're desperate, you can use Gus Edwards this week. The Ravens are ten point favorites against the Bengals, and the Bengals are very bad. They We have four point eight six yards per carry to opposing running backs, the second most Fantasy points to opposing running backs, so maybe we get some garbage time run
out of Gus Edwards this week. I didn't want to quickly mention Time Montgomery because Levian Bell is dealing with a knee injury UM and he's getting an m r I, so maybe we'll have some details about that by the end of today before you put in your bids. But again, he's another one of these handcuffs where make sure you own Time Montgomery. Not that the Jets have been great.
Tray Edmunds greg any interest in Trey Edmonds because it seems like if John James Conner returns this week, Trey Edmunds really doesn't have any more value and these value goes completely in the tank if James Conner returns. If he doesn't, he was doubtful last week, so it wasn't all that close to playing if he doesn't have a nice role here by Tomlin has said today that he expects James Conner to play, but James Conner said something things similar a week ago, and he ended up not playing.
So if you're a James Conner owner or Jalen Samuel's owner, maybe in a deeper league, just paid sence in de Trey Edmonds. He led that team in backfield carries and rushing yards with seventy three as well, and James Conner does play. What role do you expect for j for Jalen Samuel's. We spoke about this a little bit yesterday, Greg. I think something similar to Austin Ekeler. He'll be in the mix. From a PPR perspective, I don't think that they trust Mason Rudolph. Actually I know that they don't
trust Mason Rudolph. Just throw the ball down the field. We likely see a lot of short carries once again to the running backs of those little shovel passes. Maybe they get creative with the wildcat once again between Janlen Samuel's and James Connor. But I do think that he will have a role. The best way for these Dealers to compete is to play good defense, which they have done. Maybe not so much last week against the Colts, but for the most part since mca fitzpatrick has come over
to the Steelers, they've played good defense. And I think keeping opposing teams offenses off the field by running the football makes a lot of sense for this team. So I think that Jalen Samuels is going to have a slight role. He'll be a you know, PPR low end flex. As we said earlier on in this show, it's a bye bye, bye bye bye bye week here in Week ten with six teams on a bye that includes the Texans, it includes the Patriots, the Eagles, the Jags, the Redskins.
What else? Who want I say Broncos? Did you say Broncos? Broncos, Patriots, Eagles, Redskins, Jaguars, Sexans. Yes, that's all six? Now six, we did it. I did it. You almost did it, Spike. But all six of those teams are on a bye here this week. So if you have the New England Patriots defense, for instance, what do you do? I am personally not dropping the New England Patriots defense. I think that they have it does
get tougher for sure. I mean, coming out, I know that they have the Eagles coming up on have the Cowboys coming up as well, So the Chiefs are coming up soon. Eagles, Cowboys, Texans, Chiefs, Bengals, Bills, Yeah, it's not great, but I think we at least owe it to the Patriots defense to see if they can perform even in tougher matchups. They didn't do it last week against Baltimore, but they were so so historically good for the first eight weeks of the season that I do
not want to personally give up on them. I understand there's gonna be some people that are in a pinch here, a lot of people on a boy you have to figure out who to drop. You gotta make some tough
top decisions. I personally would try my best to keep the New England Patriots on my team, Greg, But if you do need a streaming defense this week, the three that I'm really looking at our the Giants at the Jets although they share met Life Stadium, the Ravens at the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Colts versus the Miami Dolphins. Does all of that makes sense to you? Yeah, I'm I'm cool with all that. Honestly, it all make it all? It seems to make sense. You like the Giants the
most out of that crew. I think I like the Ravens against the Bengals. Giants are bad, but the Dolphins are also bad Greg and they just held the Jets to twenty points and they even had three sacks against uh Sam Donald and it had an interception in the red zoae against him. So the way that that Jets offense, that offensive line is playing right now, Sam Donald seemingly just throwing the ball up off his back foot, throwing up some prayers. I think it gets some more sacks.
I think he gets some more turnovers here for the New York Giants in this game, Wells were probably number one for me as well. So yeah, that's what the defense. Okay, we gotta talk about. If you're making a waiver wire moved today, you gotta drop somebody. So what did you think? A look at what the bye week team's first, because they're not playing this week, and maybe that maybe you could afford to drop somebody there. So let me start with a new Patriots Frank, Can you drop Philip door Set? Yeah?
I think you can. He wasn't really involved much in the game plan last week. They were even taking some deep shots with Mohammed Sanu. Sanu had the four teen targets. Edelman had double digit targets as well. And I think that this team is really going to funnel a lot of those targets to those wide receivers. Nikkill Harry could get involved after the bye week as well. James White. I think he's going to get more involved in these competitive games. So I'm okay dropping Philip Dorset. What about
Nikkil Harry, who we haven't seen yet. Now I snashed him on IR. You're taking off Irer, so has to activate him. But he's not playing this week. He was inactive last week? Can I drop him? I would be okay dropping him for Christian Kirk, for Zach Pascal, for
Davonte Parker, for Josh Reynolds. I think anything after that, a few of the names that you look at some deeper league stuff, Hunter Renfro, maybe, you know, if you if you really need a wide receiver this week, if you need a byre replacement, I would be all right dropping to Kill Harry for Hunter Rentfrow. But anything after that, once you get into the you know the BC Johnson's, the Deebo Samuels, those were a few other names that
I was looking at. Nikkill Nikkil Harry probably has more upside than those players, so you can drop him for the right wide receiver. But He's not just an absolute must drop for anybody who's out there fair enough, not a must drop for Nikhil Harry, anybody else in the Patriots were discussing. Probably not. Let me then move on to the Philadelphia Eagles. Did you dropped Jordan Howard. He's not. He's been well yeah, great, yeah, seeing the workload. He
just had nineteen carries. Again, Sean Jackson's outph the next six or so weeks. Totally safe. You dropped to Sean Jackson. I thought you were gonna ask me about Miles Sanders, who's usage has been inconsistent. And you know what, if you told me that Ronald Jones was available on your waiver wire, Greg, I probably would be okay with that. But ultimately, Miles Sanders is another one of those where if you can, if you can afford to hold onto him,
you probably should probably not dropping Miles Sanders. That's not one wouldn't do it for Ronald Jones. I would look to do something else. Probably at that point I just dropped my kicker and then figured it out later in the week. Let me move on to the Jaguars. How about your boy Chris Conley. Frank here, y'all you can drop Chris Conny obviously, what do you what are you smirking at over there? I feel like we was all that one coming. Well. Admittedly I said that it was
probably going to happen Paul Richardson all over again. Man, I just find these random wide receivers in good matchups and ultimately they just don't work out. I don't think the opportunity had been there for Chris Conley the past couple of weeks, and he had targets. Last week he dropped a few Minshew overshot him on a few other ones. I think the process was right. Here's legit. One we go to Denver, it's a bye week. Would you drop Noah Fan or is you worn't holding onto through the
bye week? I would drop him for Micasecki because I think they're kind of in similar situations. Right, Questionable quarterback be really really good athletes, and the Dolphins are probably gonna throw the ball more so I would be okay dropping him for the Secki. Probably al right, dropping him for Doyle if you really need to stream, but I think that you're starting to. I wouldn't want to do
that one. I just don't trust the Seahawks have passed the ball all that Munster's still like fourth in the NFL and rush percentage, Josh Gordon now coming in, and a lot of their targets are funneled to Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. But I think that the Broncos are starting to figure out that they want to get no offense involved more. We saw two weeks ago he had a season high eight targets and five receptions with Joe Flacco. This week he makes the huge play the seventy five
yard touchdown down the sideline. I think moving forward, we see a lot of those targets go through Courtland Sutton and no offense. So I'm already dropping Hi Forkuseki already dropping him for Doyle. But anything after that, I think in those deeper leagues, I would try my best to hold on to know a fan sure there you know for me, deeper leagues, Yeah, but mostly you're gonna see Jack Doyle available. You gonna make a sec available if
you had no offense. You started him last week, and these guys are the ones you we're gonna replace him with. You gotta choice with the draw. What are you gonna do? You know? I don't. It doesn't bother me to drop no offense. Maybe the mistake, but you know, you gotta we gotta do um. Moving on, let me get quarterbacks. The question it was this a joke? What I got the joke? I just I don't know. I had not noticed this joke until are you looking at the wide
receivers on By? Okay, Yeah, this guy's always on by Tonyo Brown. You can drop him. He's one by every single week. Did you drop Terry McLaren Do you think there's any chance that they go back to case Keenum If he's healthy, You're not gonna do it. They got to see what they have in Dwayne Haskins. It's kind of the same logic for Darius guys, right man, if
that is what we actually think it. Look, if you are a fantasy owner out there who thinks that case Keenum will be back, then you should be holding onto Terry McLaurin. But based on what we saw, they I think that they want to use Dwayne Haskins down the you know, after the bye week, coming back in Week eleven,
see over the final six weeks of the season. In seven weeks, what they can what they can get out of Dwayne Haskins, and really, I guess kind of figure out if he is their quarterback of the future or not. If you think Dwayne Haskins is there, then then you can drop Terry McLaurin. As I've said, I've tweeted this out before, drink that with Dwayne Haskins has his quarterback, which is so crazy because they went to Ohio State together. You thought that that would have carried over into the NFL.
Terry McLaren did not do much last week. Once Dwayne Haskins came in on that Thursday night football game against the Vikings. Terry McLaurin didn't do anything in that game and he was having success in the first half with Case Kingdom as the quarterback. Then yes, you can drop Terry McLarin for Devantay Parker, for Zach Pascal, for Josh Reynolds. I think that that makes sense. Greg, we didn't talk
about this guy. Do you have any interest in Chester Rodgers who was their main slot receiver this past week? He actually saw the most targets once Brian Hoyer was in the game, had five targets from Brian Hoyer and he played sixty five percent of the snaps scent of those scent came from the slot, so he is basically their slot receiver, and he had some success. He scored a touchdown. Can they interest you in Chester Rodgers at all? Probably not. Chester Rodgers seems to be more of a
crapshooting dart thro than anything else. I understand what the numbers you just told me, Chester Rodgers or Hunter Renfro very similarly. I think you trust the Raiders offense the way they're playing right now. I do, But I would take Chester Rogers facing Miami rather than Hunter Redrow against the Chargers. Okay, I mean, yeah, the Chargers have Desmond King, who is a better slot cornerback. But overall, I mean their past defense DV A Way is not a good one.
We probably see some points here in this Thursday night football game. I want to rentroll over the past two weeks leads the Raiders and targets here. I think there's something the air there. I I would go with Hunter Renfroll, but I think they're similar. You know, they're both slot
receivers for their teams. But give me, give me the slot receiver for Derek Carr and this Raiders offense that's playing well other than Brian Hoyer and this Colts offense, which is just kind of this is a reminder, and I said us downstairs that the Raiders offense it's looking up, and it has looked the last couple of weeks. At
ups coming up are very good. That's what I was gonna into after this week when the base of the Chargers they come up facing the Bengals, the Jets and Casey who I know, I've been better, but not about three lext three weeks. Yeah, that's why I do have some interest in Hunter Renfro real quick. If you do need a streaming quarterback this week, check to see if Jimmy Garoppolo is available. The Seahawks secondary is not a good one. Daniel Daniel Jones at the New York Jets.
We just saw what Ryan Fitzpatrick did against him. Ryan Tannehill quietly playing very well for fantasy, at least seventeen Fantasy points in each of his three starts. And if you're desperate, Ryan Fitzpatrick Bili rivers against Oakland as well. He's Frank, I'm Gregg Well Gonnamora we go.

Get on the grid, what happens, Here's what you missed on the BFFs. I'm sitting next to Jeremy who's been in thousands and thousands
of dollars during this Giant's Cowboys game. He texted me this morning and he goes, quote, I made a solid three in your books last night. And I'm like, oh my god, crazy, crazy. That was like I've never experienced that watching a game before. Again, you're watching game live like you see Gabe doing, you see Gabe talk about it,
and you see all the other experts we have. Jared Smith is a fantastic job with this Camp Stewart as well, But to be in the room with a different experience correct while he's on his phone placing bets and seeing that it's real any right, like he was. He Gabe go to the window and he talks about it. I'm looking thousands of dollars, Man, thousands, jos No, No, I don't. I don't need petrified, Man, petrified. I can't handle that. Well. I'm sorry, Greg, I'm sorry that you know, you couldn't
handle the gambling that was going on around you. You probably couldn't. Probably couldn't handle the play of the New York Giants as well. Greg. It was very bad. It was very bad. Jones can't held on fall. That was
a rough one. That was a rough one. And I heard Game talking about earlier the offensive play calling of the Giants, and I think he does have a an accurate gripe with them, you know, trying to drop these plays where Daniel Jones has to stay in the pocket and he has to kind of wait for things to develop. This should be an offense where you get the ball out of your hands quickly. And we know that Daniel
Jones is better with those short intermediate routes. Anyway, So you have Golden Tate, and you have Evan and Gram and you have say Quon Barkley, all these players that are phenomenal. After the catch, and they're having Daniel Jones hold onto the football. And let's remember he's still a rookie. He doesn't really have the pocket presents yet. So he starts moving around a little bit, Boom gets sacked, drops to football. I mean him dropping the football is a
huge issue. Right now. He is fumbling left and right. That's about to get a lot better in week ten when he faces the New York Jets. I'll tell you that right now, they do not have a pass rush. That's the NFL and SEX So we're both renever or other teams. Like I weren't even the Jets. You weren't even the Giants. Why would you be rooting for the Jets? So the Giants have a better chatz Chase Young. Look, the Jets. Giants are not gonna get changed. They're not
gonna get chasing. It's the chase for chase that makes sense that you see. I don't. I just don't completely poo poo everything that you throw out there, Greg, like you do to me that everything. I like your shirt. I came in today, I said it's a nice shirt. I like it for your shirt, thank you. You don't. I don't everything. When's the last time you said I was wearing a nice shirt. Huh, you're feeling relatively recently. Actually, I don't believe you. But um, I commented on your
costume and I really liked it last Friday. I loved it. A lot of people really liked it as well. I told you on the area I liked it. I like to Clobo, Jim White Goodman. Any other takeaways from this game? Greg Um, Any other takeaways from this game? It was pretty standard. The awesome touchdown is awesome touchdown by Michael Gallup. That was great. Transportation home for MetLife Stadium terrible, very bad, awful. Let's takeaway from you
