You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Fantasy best Friends Forever. M Do do Do Do Do Do to to do Do Do to to do dinant to Yeah, says the Fantasy best Friends Forever. You're in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside for Rank. I am Greg. What's going on Monday? Grey heading into week nine here on a waiver wire Tuesday and talk about who would add who to drop? Obviously, but man, thank god we got the bills in prime time out of the way. Let's
leave it there, you know. And it was a little close about our bet that we didn't actually make. What bet was that New England plus fourteen? Yeah, I mean, I mean, whoever was on that game must have been sweating for for about three quarters yesterday it was close Throughoute. I mean it was a boring game. Man. Credit to the Bill's defense that game was closer to the score indicates stick six late. Obviously that kind of blew it open. But yeah, I mean Looke just field goals back and forth.
Not a lot of fantasy production. And I mean we we just talked about Rob Gronkowski. Man, what's going on with this guy this year? I mean from a favor I know you're still buying your conspiracy theory as you texted us Sport. I mean, it's not even mine. It was somebody on Twitter hit me up and said he wouldn't be surprised if they were not using Gronk to spite him, because they tried to trade him in the
off season and he declined the trade. But if you look at what he's done this year from a fantasy perspective, he's done nothing. He's tighten nine in points per game. This was the guy getting drafted in the second or third round. To put that in perspective. Half point PPR leads Zach Ertz averaging fourteen point one fantasy points per game, Travis Kelsey averaging thirteen point eight fantasy points per game,
exactly what you wanted out of those two guys. Rob Gronkowski nine Fantasy points per game, which puts him right on par with guys like Austin Hooper. He's behind Trey Burton, He's behind O. J. Howard, He's behind George Kittle, He's behind Bigfoot, Jared Cook, Grunk, where Art Bow? You know, I don't know if it's a saving to the playoffs.
I don't know. I don't know. There's no logical answer because our colleague, colleague Michael Florio, ex colleague, friends, friend of the program, best friend of the best friend of the program, we're best friend forever, kind of whatever. Ironic, but Um texted us earlier that this year he's getting more separation than he hasn't like years passed. So it's not like he's not open and he could still make
big plays. We saw that on the on the catch that he had, you know, where he basically caught on top of a dude's head before going out of bounds. I mean, it was a phenomenal catch. I have no doubts that Gronk could still play. I don't think that he's washed. I just don't think that there's an explanation for why he's If there's not an explanation for why he's not being used, right, and he's gaining yards of separation and he's getting open, why wouldn't there be some
kind of validity to this conspiracy theory? There's no real like, why wouldn't they use him? It just doesn't make sense. I don't know, Yeah, I don't know. Some kind of bad blood between Gronk and the Pats. What did you think that? I mean, James White, classic James White. What did you think of Cordarrel Patterson? I mean, I think
he was just kind of like a makeshift. All right, we'll give him a couple of carries to fill in until Sony Michelle's back, if Sony Michelle's back, when Sony Michell's back, So I think it's just kind of like a mishmash like the all right, we'll give a few carries to Corduroll Patterson, will give a few to uh Kenyon Barner, will give a few carry a few more carries to James White. But you know, they still they just it was a lot of it was a lot
of James White. They just gave him his normal workload feed him a bunch of targets, kind of us him out of the out of the backfield as a receiver, as an extension of the running game. When they got down near the goal line, they trust him the most. They gave him the goal line carry. It was just more of the same Julian Edelman. Julian Edelman game. Lots of carries, lots of targets. It was very scary. Oh
how did your How did your matchup turn out? Mine was obviously fine because I was going it'st Brady, Gronk and Gordon and they did nothing fantastic for you. Yes, um and one one seventeen point one seventeen and a half to one sixteen point eight, less than a point. One more reception. It was one more reception. It was over. Judy and I were watching, Um Junior and I were watching the game. She's going against James White. She needed James White to be under eighteen points. Obviously, need be
under seventeen. It did not work for Judy. She was do you know that feeling? And I know you do, but you know that feeling you get like you kind of think you're gonna win and you hope and like it all goes wrong and you're just in the worst mood like you it happens to do. That's how I I mean, yeah, obviously, but but you know that I felt yesterday going into the game. I'm like, all right, I'm up by forty four, Like I feel like I
have a good chance to win. But I wouldn't have been surprised if Tom Brady just came out and you know, through for three hundred and two touchdowns and you know, one of them to Gordon and one of the mc gronk and then I probably lose. Like I wouldn't have been surprised if that happened. But anyway, do you know that feeling and you're just like you don't want to you don't want to watch football. You don't want to watch football anymore. You want to just turn off, you
want to watch anything else. You're close to the edge. The first time in her life. Judy had that last night. She just turned this game off, but I'm still rooting for something. I still need this right And she was I'm I'm bored. I don't want to watch this anymore. I was like, I get it, I get it. That's how I feel. And a lot of Sunday nights. But I don't want to watch the night football. That's why
it sucks. But we all get that feeling. It was cool if to watch someone not cool, but it was interesting to see someone experience that for the first time, for the first time popping the I hate Fantasy Football charity exactly pretty much. She's like lost couple of weeks in a row. She's so angry, she's so angry. Do you do you give anything to the fact that Za Jones head eight or at least eight targets in two of the last three games. I do. I think Derrick
Anderson targets him. I think Derrick Anderson trusts him. I think if you look at the Bills in general, there's not much here. So like Shady actually a pretty good last night. And obviously z Jones can tell you something. What's up? It's pet peeve. Oh so you just get it. And somebody texted me yesterday in regards to Marlon Mack and they said, quote and he is h this person did it is a year younger than you, so you know a couple he was younger than me, and he goes, man,
I was watching tape. I was watching tape on the kid and he's great. And he just said, oh, he's a second round pick. On the kid kids like two years younger than you. He's like, I mean he's a kid from like a kid. I old. He's just currently three year fall veteran. He's an NFL second calling him a kid, I'm not on the kid. He's a kid. I'm not on a kid. But I'm referring you know, I'm talking to you about him too, so I definitely compared to you, he's a kid. To me, he's a baby.
But in general, you could be his dad. Maybe he wouldn't look like that though, Um, I mean he does have some curly curly Hey what's his birthday? Uh? March right, four March. Not a kid, he's a kid in the NFL. I don't like it. I mean, young player, the next second year player, he's a kid in the NFL. Is not a kid. He's a kid when it comes to the NFL. I'm out on that. I'm not on theology anyway.
The pleasing Greg pet Peeves telling you how I feel, Man, Marlon Mack, you when I trying to tell you how I feel, I didn't ask, see, I don't say I don't say mean dooch thinks to you like that. I do. Yeah, and you come in here every day and say, oh, you know Frank's grounty. Frank's gun was definitely I keep your feelings in March. He definitely about that. Yeah. So anyway, long story, sure, I think they're something that Johns. I think they want them to be something. This is like
a deeper league. Four teams, teen teams like PPR. Like, dude, we're entering by week. Hell right now, there's six teams on a by so you're literally looking for anyone who has a pulse. The Bill is one of the teams on a bike. No, they're not. Bills are not on a We have the Bengals, Colts, Giants, Eagles, Cardinals, Jaguars. It's not a lot of talent to it's gonna be a it's gonna be a fun, fun week. Try and
replace some of these players. Yeah. So I'm looking at my team like my best team that have a spy. So I have Baker, maybe Feld my quarterback, but I'm pretty promised about that this week against Kansas City, will see it. Baker could do without Hugh Jackson. I know, um and I need a running back. I don't know if I want to trust that. Is there anyone else available for you? Can fits magic Man probably probably can Magic.
You prefer the Magic Man, Yes, for sure. Yeah, it's a it's a well the magic match up against the Chiefs. If you're if you can't get Fitzpatrick, I would say Baker is probably the next sky Up by week replacement this week. But if I could, I would really want to take await and see approach, just because you don't know what the offensive palling is gonna is it gonna
be conservative? There's no wait and see approach. I need him for one week because and you looked my quarterback and he starts every week, Yeah, which I am gonna start? Look against Jacksonville probably Okay, um, yeah, it's one week. Accent has him in the same defense. I have a few other quarterbacks that I've listed as streams for by Alex Smith Agets Atlanta secondary is not good. He hasn't great for fantasy purposes either, but Atlanta's gonna put points up.
And Derek Carr at San Francisco. San Francisco's defense, if there's one way, I mean, you can attack them pretty much. However, you want to. But Derek Carr has actually thrown for a lot of yards this year. He hasn't been that great in the red zone, but he's gonna be able to attack the San Francisco defense. And we've seen Thursday night football teams cannot stop a nosebleed and nobody can stop anybody on Thursday night football. It's just too short
of a week. It's hard to game plan for a team that that on that quick of a turnaround, and we're seeing a lot of points scored on Thursday Night football. So I do think Derek Carr can give you, you know, to S and two. I think that's definitely possible. That's gonna put him in the conversation for bye week stream this week. That's an interesting one. I get the Baker going up against the Chiefs, but I just don't want to.
I don't want to trust the Browns offense is first game in I could see them trying to run a lot keep Patrick Mahomes off the field. Whether it's going to be successful or not, I mean, that remains to be seen. But there's just too much dysfunction within the organization, the offensive play calling. The Baker's got a lot of town long term. I would not want to trust him
this week. I know it's only a one week thing, but um, yeah, i'll see I haven't done my quarterback rankings, but well even Thursday at noon or so let me yeah, yeah, I'm gonna do quarterbacks in there. Oh, I think it's even better. So tomorrow at Newity even better, to be honest with you, So yeah, Derek Carr's an option. I really like this Baker thing that we'll see create deadline
day two today. Yeah, that could happen, definitely affect the waiver wire two, which I think we need to jump into here because there's a lot going on all right, so let's go right into it right now. Some stuff on the rundown. Sorry, running back is that cool? So I mentioned this downstairs to venture there's not much available? Well, I mentioned this downstairs to venture at the running back position. If you need help this week, Elijah McGuire probably doesn't
help you this week. I don't think it's probably true. Josh Adams definitely doesn't help you this week. Is not a boy Derrick Henry maybe out there like he's a fine bye week feeling. I think you can score a touchdown good opportunity. I just row him in because he might have been dropped. He's owned in less than six CBS. Fine with that too, all right. Then you get to Edo Smith. Maybe he was dropped. I don't buy Okay,
fine with that as well. But if they weren't dropped somebody else where, could we look, I'm gonna reach some of the guys on my waiver wire. You let me know your level of ventures. That's cool. Alfred Morris. Alfred Morris against Oakland Thursday night with Matt Breed up in his last two games and the half point PBR, Alfred Morris has two and a half points and two point eight points as a bye week replacement, he is low to medium interest. Okay, how you check on Thursday night? Okay,
all right? DeVante Booker, I figured he was the one that you would bring up. We don't have much on Roy's freeman, but given that he's dealing with you know that ankle sprain, I would not expect him to play this week. Uh And Denver is going up against Houston. They've been pretty stout against the run saw Kenyan Drake. Did I like him more than Alfred Morris? You like him more than Alfred Morris. All right, uh quiz Rogers. H No, somebody named Mike Boone. No, it was like
I don't know he's on the Vikings. Rashan Penny. No, they never carry this week. I didn't have an offensive snap this week. That's that's all I got. That's the way. Yeah, so you're looking at DeVante Booker and Alfred Morris if you're really really desperate, or let me try to make a trade for just a bye week. I mean, I don't really condone doing that unless it's just like an end of your bench player, for like an end of a bench player on another team to get a running back.
But that's pretty much the same level of talent that you're going to get out of Alfred Morris or Devontae Booker. Did someone else's pop up on your waiver wire because you had a face like, oh my god, I miss this person. No, Kylo, let it get arrested when you thought things couldn't get worse for the New York Football Giants, the quarterback of the future. Just the traffic violation though, just a trap you got arrested. Oh gosh, the starting quarterback coming out of the bar and Week ten, you
can't start brought up. Um, I don't know whoever was actually active on the team, like the second active quarterbacks. Yeah, bring back David's webb. It's literally crazy. There's no other running back for me. To Devontae Booker this past week, he was fine. He played almost of the snaps. He's right, you know, forty four a very close, you know, like
fifty five percent for Philip Lindsay for DeVante Booker. And you know, it sucks to say, but if Royce Freeman was just never to come back into this backfield, it would look a lot better for purposes, a lot easier to figure out, it would, you know, we would get a lot of Philip Lindsay on early downs still, the guy that they could use in the screen game. Um, he would be that you know, fifteen twenty touch guy, and then DeVante Booker can do his you know, ten
of twelve touches whatever you're expecting. But he actually looked really good in this matchup this past week. Um So yeah, Devontay Booker more so than Alfred Morris. That rests entirely on uh is name escaping me right now and Cannon not yet because I could see them slowly trying to work back, slowly, trying to work Elijah McGuire back in Matt Breeda. If he doesn't go, then Alfred Morris is probably gonna get double digit carries against Oakland. We just
saw Marlon Mack and he mines run all over. So that's what you need to pay attention to here, that's the caveat. You know, if Matt Breed is not playing on a short week, Alfred Morris is your guy. Would rather starts Wolfgang sucks for most of um you know, Matt Breed is like the fantasy troll dude. Like all week we thought he wasn't gonna play. The week before, all week we thought he wasn't gonna play. Um yeah, I mean it would be Offer Morris just based on
what we've seen there. You know, they're just using him more. They are not willing to give most are more touches. Then then Alfred Morris. Right now, it was that one Monday night game against the Packers where he kind of you know, flashed a little bit. The next week they used them a little bit, but they also used Alfred Morris, and in this past week they didn't use him at all, didn't use most of it at all and he you know, he killed a lot of people want to use him
in the flex. If Matt Reid doesn't play, it's Alfred Morris. If matt Red does play, it's DeVante Booker. Those are really uh top two waiver wire Bye week. Running backs for this week? The day break here? When do we come back? More the wide receivers you can add so next. Daily Rodo dot Com learned from the game's best DFS players. We don't just give you premier advice.

Industry leading DFS tools and custom projections, and now the Daily Rodo dot Com optimize that in minutes, building optimized line up for cast games and turneys. Learned from the game's best DFS players joined Daily rodo dot com. Is it today? Talk with you on the Fantasy Best Friends Forever Fantasy Sports? Everybody saw that friend, I don't even know what you're talking exactly exactly. So the running backs that are out
there not so much. There's not a lot of help this week. I would still see what I need help. Elijah McGuire is still the guy. He's only owned nine percent of leagues that's the guy that I'm still going out there and trying to target. But again he's I don't know how much he's gonna get worked in this week. The Jets like Elijah McGuire a lot. I'm excited about what he can do and that Balal Powell role. Last year we heard Emory Hunt kind of compare Elijah McGuire
to Tari Cohen. We see what Teri Cohen is doing this year, So I don't know that Elija McGuire has that same kind of burst and explosiveness. But there was obviously something on game film that Emery liked a lot about Lolja McGuire, So I think he will get an opportunity eventually to fill that ball power roll. I just don't know how much he gets worked back in in his first week that he's eligible to return, which is this week. In week nine, he still leads the running backs.
I want to add outside of Derrick Henry and Edo Smith if those guys were dropped and then it's Josh Adams, But again, Elijah McGuire and Josh Adams not really gonna help you this week. Adams on a buy, Elija McGuire just returning Greg if he if he's activated, we don't even know if we'll be activated ready to play, yeah, because we you know, we were expecting densa Foreman to get activated right off the pup right hasn't happened, and Lamar Miller has who looked like I was, honestly, he's
running like a bat out of hell right now. I was making on forman returning. Yeah. I mean a lot of people were, and you know, we were all excited about him. We said, you know, at this point, week nine, week ten, he might be the starting running back. That was the thought, and I honestly just had it on the IR just as like a stash, you know. It was just like, all right, hopefully he'll be something. If
he's not, he's not. I always not costing me anything now, like I need him and he's he's not available initia is it's an issue for you, it's an issue for a lot of people who were banking on Lamar Miller sucking, which he has done the complete opposite the past few weeks. Yeah, he's been great. He's been great. Tree Mood and the wide receivers. Yeah, I mean, look, there's not much here.
It's a barren I disagree wholeheartedly. Well, it depends who depends on your league, especially I mean in some of our leagues. But if you look at the ownership percentages, these guys are widely available, Greg, But like nothing you guys available in my league. Well, it doesn't help me. This isn't the Great Suspen Show. Greg. Actually half is these guys available in your er. We're supposed to help other people. I need to help my shop in my
home league. David Moore, DeVante Parker, d J. Moore are all available. I think we have the six guys who are on this list. J. David Moore is definitely available. Let's talk about the more brothers that aren't actually brothers, d J. Moore and David Moore. First, I poo pooed you on David Moore when he was brought up a couple of weeks ago. I was like, look at look at this, there's no consistency. A couple of touchdowns is no, that is sustainable. Well, I still believe that it's been
relatively sustainable. What to deal with David Moore? Well, the question is what's the deal with the Seattle Seahawks wide receivers? Because I know I tweeted about this this past Sunday, drink Uh. It's basically wide receivers by a committee right now. There is no one wide receiver or tight end that's stepping up. Russell Wilson is making the most of his weapons. He's spreading the ball out, He's taking what defenses are giving to him. He's not force feeding the ball to
Doug Baldwin. He's not force feeding it to lock It. He's not forced feeding it to David More either. If you look over the past three games specifically, greg their target breakdown. Doug Baldwin eleven targets, Tyler Lockett eleven targets, David Moore ten targets. But David Moore does have four touchdowns over those last three games. He absolutely dominated teas table and the Detroit lines. This past week. You saw the touchdown which was you know, deflected off the defender
to deflect it up in the air. Yeah, he managed to bring it down for a touchdown during that same span these past three weeks, he leads a team in air yards, leads a team in a dot so he's more so the guy that's being targeted down in the field. So you can argue that he has the highest upside of the three Seahawks wide receivers right now based on the way he's playing, the way he's being targeted down
the field, and the way he's actually converting. You know, something that I like to say about, you know, especially players for fantasy football in the NFL. If players are given an opportunity and they continue to convert on those opportunities, they're going to continue to get more opportunities. And that's exactly what's happening with David Moore. No pun intended, um, but yeah, I mean we can't really ignore what he's doing. A touchdown in three Shade games, four touchdown during that span.
The one thing that I'll point out that's a negative here is, you know, as actually, as Raymond Summerlin points out, you know, a friend of the program, Ray Summerlin, Uh, the Seahawks are attempting just twenty two point six passing attempts over their past five games, so they're not throwing the ball that much. Russell Wilson, he has just been extremely efficient and because of that, his wide receivers have been extremely efficient as well. It's not like any one
of these guys is just dominating targets, as I've pointed out. Yeah, as you just said, it's very hard to hard to turn away from the guy that scored a touchdown in three straight games. But it's very hard to invest in an offense that's only tempting to twenty two passes per game. If he doesn't get in the end zone, David Moore
does nothing. He's completely completely useless to you. Of course, the other side of that is while he scored three straight games, he did have nineties seven yards this week, so that's not completely true. It gives you syards just the weeks two weeks prior to that. It was touchdown dependent. It definitely was. But I think the fact that he's being targeted more down the field, maybe that creates a
safer floor. Right, he's also a clear wide receiver three and an offensive Yeah, I just laid out the targets of past three games. I know it's all within ten and eleven targets. It's not just one guy. But if you hand thing, we should look at all three wide receivers. That's the same value right now, which is wide receiver threes. But as you know, who do you trust? That's the question. If I put Doug Baldwin, Tyler Locket, and David Moore in front of you, and they're all on your bench
and you have to start two of them? What would you which you would you start? It's not David Moore targets, The targets and the production say that they're pretty much all on the same plate. But you're telling me that you still he scored more touchdowns over the past three games, and both of those absolutely as I just don't feel any reliability. And how would your money are you spending this week on David Moore? Not much? Couple dollars, Yeah, but you have to imagine like five to seven percent.
Now I have twenty five dollars left in my home league. What is that I might? I mean, we still got to talk about that. I don't know if I should or not in a super flex league. It's something that you have to think about when it comes to Ryan Fitzpatrick. If you just kind of if you want to dive into that real quick for a second. I saw some awesome stats per Josh Moore at four for four underscore
Josh on Twitter. Despite coming in relief Sunday, Ryan Fitzpatrick is averaging twenty three point six fantasy points per game, which is third in fantasy football, behind only Patrick Mahomes and at Ryan. Between Ryan Fitzpatrick and Jamis Winston, Bucks quarterbacks are averaging three and ninety passing yards per game this season. Their defense is that bad. We talked about it every single week. That's why you want to target the players playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. They've
dealt with a ton of injuries. They fired their defensive coordinator. It doesn't matter what you do to the defensive coordinator, whoever you put in there, this defense is going to be bad. And because of that, they're gonna get in shootouts and the quarterbacks are gonna have to throw. Aside from this week with Peyton Barber, they haven't really been able to run the ball effectively. It's just a lot
of volume. And as long as Ryan Fitzpatrick is the starting quarterback for this team, I want him on my fantasy football team. The problem is, as game laid out during Carton and Friends, how long is he gonna be the starter for right because he can have three fantastic games and then what the next time he craps the bed, They're gonna go right back to Jamis Winston. Dude, he could have three great quarters and they'll be down fifty points.
But Jameis Winston back in, you got three games. But this, like the fantasy product and that he gives is just so it's so Blake Bortle, right, just garbage time. But that doesn't matter for fantasy, Like, I mean, it doesn't have to be the prettiest thing. If the guy is storing for three nine yards, even if he's giving you three interceptions, were giving you three touchdowns, I mean that those are fantasy points. So I I want to get Ryan Fitzpatrick. I mean, even if it's just for the
short term. Definitely in super reflects two quarterback leagues. But you were asking me, you know, who's a bye week replacement quarterback that I could pick up this week? You were you were talking about Baker Mayfield. I'd rather have Ryan Fitzpatrick, even though he's going up against the Carolina Panthers, who you know, their defense looked very good against Joe Flacco and the Ravens. But I'm just I'm gonna continue
to ride Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah, I kind of agree with you, right, It's Patrick finds a way every single week Blake Bortles, like, just put up numbers. You know that gonna on the ball. It's Patrick. If it's Patrick, does they can't run the football when they're down by thirty points, It's gonna be great. I would start. I'm going to start if it's Patrick over over Baker for sure. If you play in a super flex or two quarterback league, how much fab do you put around? I don't think you can put all
of it on it because they don't. You don't know that will be the starter. Like if Dirk Hunter gets fired tomorrow or next Monday, let's set. They could say, listen, I want to the organization, Jason, like the general manager and the owner could be like, I understand that, Like what let me go back Dirk Hutter Storry ryanf it's Patrick,
who's Ryan? If it's Patrick, is in the best chance to win, or he believes that he's fighting for his job when he no longer has his job, and they promote whoever, I guess, I guess I have no idea who would because already fired their defensive coordinator and their offensive coordinator is is some known name. They promote the offensive coordinator to the head coach. He's not going to put right. I don't think he puts Ryan. It's Patrick
aff there. I think the organization will dictate. We need to see what we have in Jameis Winston, right like, we have to see where bringing James Winston back next year and they play Winston. So I don't think you can go all in. I really don't. I'm sorry. So I'm trying to figure out if I thought Jameis Winston this was the last year of his contract. He's the option next year, all right, So Rural World, yeah has him. As you know, you get paid out twenty one million
dollars for the fifth year option next year. So I mean, looks you're having James next year or I mean they might just cut him. I don't know at this point. At this point, even though he's twenty four years old, what more do you need to see out of James Winston to know what you have in this guy? Let's be honest, We've seen a lot of Jammeis Winston in the past three years. I know, what have we seen? Bone headed play like he's super frustrating because and it
was like a perfect microcosm of his career. There was a drive this past Sunday where he just through a perfect pass, laid it right into Mike Evans was right down the silent It was a beautiful past the announces we're talking about. This is what's so frustrating about Jameis Winston is that he has the ability to make beautiful, beautiful throws, but then the next play he's gonna throw it right to a linebacker or right to a safety.
Like the guy is just so turnover prone. He's second in the league in the interceptions, Greg, you only played what three four games? You know who. It's sad to say, but you know who Jameis Winston is. At this point, if you know who James Winston is, you also know who Ryan fitz Patrick is as well. So well, I agree with everything that you're saying that I think I'm just pleading because that's what I was saying, Like, we may know who Jameis Winston is, but we when thousand
percent know who Ryan pis Patrick is. Ryan fas Patrick is not a part of the future long term in in Tampa Bay. That's definitely true. The Bucks needs to figure out if Jameis Winston is going to be I don't know if he will be made, there's no chance. If there's no chance between his play on the field and what he's done off the field, there's no way he's part of the future of the Tampa Bay Bucks. And I don't know if he gets another starting opportunity in the NFL, another team will bring him in and
give him the chance to compete. Is he another starting quarterback in the NFL? Jameis Winston, I'm not so sure. Okay, should we bad the wide receivers? Now we can? I think we just kind of got to put a bow on on Fitzpatrick. Um So, what I'm thinking is, in my home league, I have twenty five dollars left, I might put like thirteen on Fitzpatrick. That's fine. I'm okay with that, because you need a quarterback. It's super flex. I get it. And we know if Ryan it's Patrick
can do you probably a one quarterback league. It's not much I was gonna recommend. I was gonna recommend to you, but half of what you have on him. But I cannot say go all in. I can't do that. Yeah, and it sucks because I put twelve dollars on Joe Flacco not too long ago, and now I'm gonna put thirteen on right Patrick, Joe Flacco has just been so hit or miss, I know, like home road splits have
been a thing for him. Maybe it's just the whole a f C North Division, right, big band, home road Splitshoe Flacco home road splits and Dalton Lamar Jackson came in and looked good. At the end of that game, it was garbage time. Look bad. Store it out there. We hit one of the more, one of the More brothers. Do you want? Are you spending any more than that?
I would rather David More? Do you guys think and score a touchdown again this week when you're gonna come back and you're gonna say the same thing, would you rather have David Moore? D J Moore? Definitely DJ Moore? But I understand there there are reasons for hesitancy here because Ron rivera typically a head coach who likes to play his veteran players, and for whatever reason, they've loved playing Tory Smith and Jarius Right this year, and you
know Tory Smith. It took an injury for Tory Smith being out in this game for d J. Moore to see the season high in snaps played in routes run in targets in receiving yards. I mean he said season highs across the board, but that was because Tory Smith is out. So there is a caveat here. While we're excited about DJ Moore. They used a first round pick on him, and he's clearly talented, right yeah, Marly, he's
a turk. Of course, he's clearly talented. But you get this guy out in space, you know, you put the ball in his hands and he instantly becomes like a running back. You could, I mean, you could see it. He's He's incredibly explosive. He also was targeted down the field a couple of times in this game. He made plays. They're using him, uh for running plays as well. I mean, that's the type of explosiveness that he has. I mean, not every team has a Tyreek hillesque gadgety type player.
And I don't want to just label DJ More as that, but they're going to do some creative things with t J. Moore. He's not just a wide receiver. They can use him in some you know, run packages as well, and they proved that this past week. So I like him, and I like him more than David Moore because I think there is some upside there again, season high and snaps nearly at least five targets down in three straight games.
I think that's flying under the radar. That's the key stat that you just gave the five targets in his last three games. Because the arrow is now trending up, snaps are, targets are up, and this past week receptions were up. Now we I spoke about this Jimsanas yesterday that maybe he's not taking over the number one job from Devon Fudges, but he plays a different role the Devon Fudges, And yeah, you have to worry about Christi McCaffrey, and yeah you have to worry about Greg Olsen, but
d J Moore solidifying he's spot in the offense. I completely agree. I'm much more interested in DJ more than David Moore. Yeah, and it's not just the targets for three weeks in a row. It this past week tied for the team leading targets with six, tied with Christian McCaffrey. He led the team in receptions with five, led the team in receiving yards with nine. D So there's a
lot to like about DJ Moore. You know what would be awesome here is if the Panthers would just kind of hand him that slot receiver role, because I look, I'm just gonna continue to beat this dead horses fantasy football season. This is the year of the slot receiver Tyler Boyd Adam fieland Cooper Cup when he was healthy. These guys are just absolutely dominating. So if they would use DJ More in that role, and I think he fits that role pretty well, I mean, the very shifty
wide receiver, that would be awesome for him. The one problem again is that if Torry Smith comes back, does he eat into the snap percentage again for d J Moore. And you know, the Panthers are a team that typically spreads the ball around. They're gonna still target McCaffrey. They're gonna still target uh, Devin Funchius and Greg Olsen. So I mean, you know, we'll play Devil's advocate. We're excited about dj More, but to a certain extent, we we
have to temper our expectations here. I will say the upcoming schedule for d J Moore phenomenal. Tampa Bay this week. In in two weeks it's Pittsburgh. They have another matchup with Tampa Bay later in the season. I mean the down the you know, down the stretch schedule for d J. Moore and the fact that the bye week has past
him that also helps. It definitely does. The only thing is, and I agree with everything saying, like I said before, the only thing is if he just wound nothing this week, he just gave you a bomb of a game, would you be surprised. No, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, for for the reasons we mentioned, you have to temper expectations, but you want to be excited. Because the draft capital that they use on him obviously a high draft pick. We know the talent coming out of college um and
he flashed some of that talent here. So if they continue to get him involved, I just worry. I mean, will the targets share ever be massive in Carolina because they like to uh to spread the ball around. I will just say these next two matchup against Tampa Bay, he doesn't need double digit targets. If he gets you know, six seven targets again and can you know, get the ball out in space, then he's going to be incredibly, incredibly dangerous against this Tampa Bay secondary, which is just brutal.
So I mean, for that reason alone, these next two matchups and these matchups down the stretch, you want to you want to take a flyer on DJ More definitely ahead of David Moore. I will say, you know, I uh I tweeted out from the Fantasy PFS account Greg, there's really like a four horsemen group of wide receivers this week it's DJ Moore, David Moore, k QT and Coreland Sutton was not the player. It was devontaf Corland
Suton and you've got to talk about him too. Now that they're saying Mary's Thomas is like like you need training again. Yeah, those four are widely available in fantasy. We're gonna talking about all of them on the other side. How you write them, how much you spend. We'll bring it down for we have when we return.

you last night? Gregg? You know how I did last night? Well, the public doesn't put up a lot of points, just missed out on the castle. This is actually the reason I quit Daily Fantasy Basketball, by the way, last year, because I was consistently putting up three hundred points and not cashing. And that was the case last night. I had three howny points. We have I don't know what to find. I mean, I had to close AD. I was getting too frustrated. Yeah, I thought we had three
or nine. Yeah, so we had around three ten points or so. The thing is you can't just label it, oh, I had three hundred points. Every single night in DFS is different. The cash line is gonna be different every single night. And the reason why it was so high last night is because the same line, which is frusta is because the chalk plays hit and everyone had them except us, Pascal, Siackem and Urson Iliasova. They hit and
they hit big. He had Iliasova, but we didn't have Siackemer, you know, put up over forty Fantasy points at you know, less than five K salary. And you know, LaMarcus Aldridge, who we paid, you know, nearly nine thousand dollars on had less Fantasy points in Pascal. That's that's it, and that's that's our night. It was La Marcus soldiers Pascal and that's a you know, four five thousand dollar price. It's frustrating because the dfs optimized or over at deod
dot com like you said he used. Pascal told us to say they did for sure. Now we spoke to Mike Leonie and he's like, listen, if you want to pay up for Aldredge, and I specifically asked him in the cash game, can I start Pascal Siakam and Urson Iliosa And he goes, yes, absolutely, and then I did it. And don't listen to me. Every time I've told you anything ever about fantasy basketball, it's been wrong. So just don't listen to me. So did to take Darron foxe
Rimrocky Rubio. You did not say that. I mean you said quite the opposite. Actually, yes, yeah, we're paying for our sins. We're paying for our fantasy basketball sins right there. Hey, my other fantasy basketball team, by the way, went off last night and had more points in my fanuel team using the same scoring Really. Yeah, a three four point night in your season long? Yes, because I had Carl Anthony Towns, which was which was fun. But I also had Darn Fox really CALLI Stein, which is also fun.
And I had Gary Harris and Julius Randall fun. Yeah, you know, Random is the only missed on. He texted you about him too, and I was like, I want to use Randall. I feel like I'm gonna regret it. Um. You know amazing last night who I was not in on. I think you might have told me to pick him, so I just did. Rudy Gay, I didn't tell you to pick out. I wasn't on him at all. Oh dude, you had fifteen e loving last night with four assists and six teals. Yeah, that was a fun game, aside
from the fact that Mark Ulster Aldred did nothing. I was watching that mad and Spurs when into overtime to Marda Rosen is just amazing, amazing, very great year. When I watched him play right, his mid range game just reminds me so much of Kobe, like back to the basket. He could just score on anybody. It's it's really fun to watch. We probably get back to the way toward Okay, let's just let's get to the four horse games. Let's
get to the four horsemen. Where's the four horsewomen? Do that? Now? Um, these are not women, they're NFL players. Anyway, k QT the number one guy will Fuller's will Fuller's out for the season, Cat steps in as the number two wide receiver in an offensive was to throw the ball in an offense? Where will Fuller was? He touchdown? In every sense of the word. We know what Q could do out of the slot. He's gonna have even more opportunities. You expect him to be on the field each and
every play. The question remains, can he stay healthy? That is the only question I have. Are going to kick Q tay if he's out there? How much do you spend on him? That's a good question. I'm I'm thinking fifteen. That's the number that just came to my mind right now. If you want to be really aggressive and make sure you get him, you're probably looking at just over you know, of your remaining fab budget. But there's a lot to
like about q TEA. I mean, we saw what he could do in that limited sample while he was healthy. He looked awesome. A lot of passes close to the line of scrimmage, kind of using him as an extension of the run game. Again, the year of the slot, Kiki QT was playing the slot and he was dominating there. Will Fuller was wide receiver twenty one in points per game while he was healthy this year. So, I mean that just kind of gives you a taste of what the upside could be for Kiki QT. He's not the
same wide receiver as will Fuller. He's not a down the field threat, a guy who's gonna burn a bunch of people and score the deep touchdown. But what what we're looking at, what Will Fuller is the number two wide receiver in the Texans offense, and that's exactly what Keiki could be. Even if he misses this week again because of the lingering hamstring issue. I wouldn't be surprised
if they sit him out. I almost want them to sit him out so he doesn't re injure himself here and then we can have him for the final, you know, five or six weeks of Fantasy football and him just to be healthy for those weeks. But there is a huge, huge opportunity here, Greg, and I would say he's the number one wide receiver. To add, A few people were asking me, you know, if DT is traded, wouldn't you
rather have Courtland Sutton? In my opinion, the opportunity is better for Kiki and Deshaun Watson is a better quarterback than case Keenum, So those they are the deciding factors of why I would have Key Key ranked higher than Courtland Sutton in this week's waiver Wire. Yeah, I'm with you for me, it's very easy for Kiki qt as number one. We know what he could do. We've seen it Courtland Sutton. We expect. If you think Keki plays this week, I do, Yeah, I do. Yeah. I know.
He practiced on a limited fashion last week. It was obviously a short week week. Now he's had a while off. I absolutely think he plays. How much would help a lot. How much do we spend is the question? Um we're halfway through the year. So let's assume people have half their budgets left. I know you like do things percentages, but let's assume people have half their budgets left. How much of that using the hundred rather than a thousand,
you have any bucks left? How much she spend? And I know I just said fifteen of your remaining FAB budget. I understand, But that's why I said for your percentages, you wanna if you want to make sure you get him sixteen seventeen bucks at a fifty, which is more than what I'm saying. Obviously I was over that. That's more than gonna go over. I was gonna be more like twenty out of the fifty. So that I mean you're talking about forty of your remaining FAB budget. I
don't think. I think at this point people have less than fifty. I think so I have twenty five dollars left in my Homely, I think people are probably closer to like thirty or forty right now, Okay, Which if that's the case and you want to you want to be aggressive again, and it's probably like twelve thirteen of like thirty or forty bucks left I have. If you were available. In my home league, I have twenty five dollars.
I would probably put fifty thirteen on Fitzpatrick and the other twelve on Kiki, and then I just have nothing for the rest of the year. But these are game changing waiver waiver wire editions, especially with fits being in the Super Flex League. Um, but yeah, I mean if you want Key, you're gonna have to be aggressive. Okay, I think so too. If you have fifty left, I'm going over twenty. If you have forty left, I'm going over fifteen. I want y Q, I really really do.
He's number one. He's ahead of d J. Moore, He's ahead of Davante Parker. Who if Marius Thomas gets traded today, it's Courton Sutton's number two. For me? How much do how much do we spend a Courting Sun? So it would obviously be less than it would be less than what you were saying about Kiki. So, I mean, if you have fifty bucks left, I'm spending like fourteen a Cortland Sutton. Yeah, fourteen and sixteen like that. If you're scared someone's gonna bid around that fifteen dollar range, then
you get you go to the sixteen or seventeen. Right, Well, I mean, you know your league better than we do. If people, you know, if if you think the high bid is gonna be around like twelve, then yeah, you're looking at the thirteen fourteen that you're talking about. But
he's clearly behind Kiki qut. Just to put this in perspective, Emmanuel Sanders leads the team and targets share with thirty of the targets to Marius Thomas is at nineteen point eight six and Courtland Sutton is at thirteen point one two percent. So if Mary Thomas has traded, you're gonna immediately see Courtland Sutton soar to over twenty percent of the targets share. Yeah, tend, I tend to agree with you. I'm with you, um, which is why I referenced him
last week as a stash did. And then also last week we got the report that oh, it's not likely to marry Thomas has traded, and then today we get the report it's more likely that he's traded than not just a few very frustrated if you're listening to this after where he probably he's gone, he's probably you know what's crazy. I guess it's not that crazy. But the Lions shopping Golden Tate and only looking for a forefront
because he's you know, he's in a contract year. I think they very clearly are not going to bring him back. He's going to land demand a lot of money in free agency because he's by far the best wide receiver available on the free agent market. Obviously, players could get cut, but in terms of players who are expected to be free agents as right now, Golden Tate is by far
the best wide receiver available. Some team is going to clearly overpay him, and the Detroit Lions can afford to give him up because they clearly have their two wide receivers of the future in Marvin Jones and Kenny Golly. Marvin Jones is part of that future. Well, I mean he's under contract, so at least the short term future more so than Golden Tate and in Kenny Holidays. Obviously, I think the wide receiver of the future. It listen to more wide receivers here that I want to get
into before we have to sign off YouTube. That's DeVante Parker and Larry Fitzgerald. Lava Gerald is available just about of leagues. He's kind of This is on CBS, so that it's it's a more aggressive ownership. But I still in Yahoo. He's actually available in more People might have dropped him because he was trending downwards. We actually told you could drop him. So that's fine. I'm okay with that. Um, he's been a little bit better. He's trending upward. Best
game in the year this past week Byron Leftwich. Maybe there's something here, so Larry but Cherald certainly too bye a week. I'm interested in him and Parker his best game of the season this past Thursday. Let's see if he can build upon that. I like him too. If Larry Fitzgerald and Key Qt are both available, Greg I've told people already on Twitter that I would rather have Larry Fitzgerald. I would not. Why is that? I think he's in a better offense. I don't trust Josh Rosen
at all. I think last week, which is a good game for him, he's the Niners, is a good matchup. So target share was there? Gregor iron left which two targets targets of forty attempts. That's a massive target share. Yeah, there's target shares there, and I have a shows the number one target in that offense. Qt will obviously never be number one next to DeAndre Hopkins, but I think the offense is just John Watson's definitely be, you know, so give me the better offense. That's where That's why
I'm going with cute. It's probably it's like A one A one B. For me, I would still put Fits first. It's what would you rather have the number two in a better offense or the number one on a worse offense. But we saw, you know, a positive science this past week with Byron left targets, I mean, Fits his best game of the year by far. It looks like he's finally getting over that hampstring injury, looks like he's finally healthy. Eight receptions, a hundred yards and a touchdown, So look
to see that if he can build off that. It is worth noting that Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals are on a by in week nine, so there's a chance that he's dropped to which you probably don't expect it because he's coming off his best game. Also definitely could happen. Also, chance Christian Kirkby dropped during the bye week as well, you'd want to grab him. Looking at him for sure at the tight end position before we mentioned DeVante Parker.
You're right, sorry, Dante Parker. Um I would I would rank him ahead of DJ More, but I had of DJ More or definitely David. It's close between him and d definitely behind Kiki and Courtland Suton, there's no doubt about it. But I will mention Kenny Stills. There's there's still a chance that he would turns. He's not the guy who was shut down for the year. It was Albert Wilson. So we saw that when Kenny Stills was healthy, the target share was kind of a crapshoot for the
Dolphins wide receivers. There was no main guy. You know, last week on Thursday Night, Devanta Parker was the main guy and he was targeted nine times, hauled in six of those a hundred and thirty four yards. He looked spry, he looked fast. Uh, he looked like the you know, the the early round draft picked that the Dolphins used on him. It's just can we trust Adam Gates because it always comes back to Adam Gates and we trust
him for the usage of Kenyan Drake. Can we trust him for the usage of DeVante Parker because there were a lot of weeks in a row now where Devanta Parker was a healthy scratch. So the talent is undoubtedly there. Devanta Parker just needs to stay healthy and he needs to he needs the confidence of his coaching staff. If he gets those things, I do think that he can help you out here in the second half of the season. Alright, with that, we say goodbye to everybody watching on YouTube.
We appreciate you listening, to appreciate you following, and if you're listening to the podcast, we go for another five minutes to subscribe like us, rate us and make sure he was five stars and leave at the friends. He's up next Corey Parson, Jim Day and Chris Ventra Reggie the tight end position, Jack Doyle is out there. He's once again a must dad. I need a tight end must that. Yeah. Absolutely. It is worth mentioning as well that the Cults are on a buy in week nine,
so it's more of a stash. He can't help you this week. But if you just look at what Jack Doyle did in his first game back, seventy three of the Snaps, tied for the team lead with seven targets, and you know he had six receptions for seven yards and a touchdown. We know that Andrew luck is going to throw to his tight ends. We even saw mo Ali Cox involved and awesome catch a one handed grab.
I'm worried about Eric ebron Man because he's basically been on the injury report with any possible injury that you can have. He's training downwards. Jack Doyle is returning and he's training upwards. He's undoubtedly the top tight end out of the week. Just remember he will not help you in week nine because he's on a buy Colo streaming defenses. Frank. This week Jets because the Dolphins, and nextly the face the Bills. Yeah, so that's one where you're looking for
two weeks in advance. There you're looking for the next two weeks. You want to use them for the next two weeks in Miami. Looks like brock Osweiler is gonna get another start, But then the Bills game is back at MetLife where the Jets will be home. I don't know if they're gonna be facing uh Josh Allen or Nate Peterman, Nate Peterman or whoever the quarterback is, but it's likely going to be a good matchup. So I
agree with you. If you're looking for the next two weeks. Uh. The other ones that I'll throw out there, the Broncos versus Texans is interesting because the Texans offense looks like they're getting back on track. The offensive line has played better. They're still not great, but the Broncos have great pass rushers, so there's gonna be opportunities for sacks here. And you
know with sacks can come fumbles, come interceptions, crushing the quarterback. Obviously, Lebroncos have those two great pass rushers in Bradley Chubb and Von Miller. And now I'll throw the Cowboys out there because they're facing the Titans. And you know, I've bashed the Titans offense all year. They haven't been great, they haven't been able to move the ball. And in games where Dallas has been home this year that the Cowboys defense has actually played very well. All right, four
hour four horsemen off the waiver wire. Uh, we gotta drop somebody. You gotta be able to drop somebody. The Kiki qts of the world. Uh, for the life at Gerald, Demante Parker and all those guys. And if you need him, DeVante Booker Um from Brence in my case, whoever, who do we drop for them? He name some people on the list. I'm gonna go through quickly and give you some more names as well. Let's do it. Jermaine Curse,
he's drobable. I don't really want anything to do with this Jets offense outside of stating Elijah McGuire because you could have that power role and Chris Herndon this week. If you need a bye week replacement, that's it. Corey Clement, Corey Clement, Yeah, I'm done. I don't want anything to do with the Eagles running backs. I know some people are gonna go out and pick up Josh Adams. He showed some explosiveness, but it's a three headed running back
by committee. Doug Peterson has done this every single year and Corey Clement. Maybe he's not healthy. I don't know what's going on with him. He hasn't been effective. I'm dropping Ronald Jones. Ronald Jones, I'm dropping him as well. Dealing with the multi week injury now, Peyton Barber flash they used to quiz Rodgers in the past game. I don't love the Bucks rushing attack, regardless of Carlos Hide. This is a tougher one man. I would try my
best to hold onto him. I you don't know if he's gonna be the RB three or the RB one coming out of the by. It could be either one of those things. Out of all the names that we're gonna mention, he's the one that I would try to hold onto the most, but I understand with the Bys if you don't have a choice. He's a drop candidate. Wolf k I'm ads based on his lack of usage.
Even when Matt Brida has been banged up. He's third on the depth chart on a on a rappy San Francisco offense, I'm dropping most Jechiem Grant Jachem Grant, Uh yeah, yeah, I mean DeVante Parker looks like he's the wide receiver one Kenny Stills could return here. The snap shares all over the place. Um, he's kind of a boomer Bus wide receiver. I'm okay dropping any Raiders wide receiver. God, I'd hold Jordy for one more week, just to see
if it turns around. Fartivs Bryant. Nobody owned Brandon LaFell anyway. Seth Roberts, I mean you might have to execuse Seth Roberts this week because of the byes, But I mean, if you want to drop some one of these other wider shoes tomorrow, upside, I have no problem with it. Hold the New, Hold the phone k QT using textas just acquired JA Maarrius Thomas Corey Parson will break you down for your next fantasy football frenzy for free. Stample, I'm Gregg Sauceman lut All Gonnamorrow. We hope
