Week 3 Waivers + QB Streamers, Rocks are Rock Hard

Got four targets. You're just hoping that those targets would go to Chubb. Right. But it's not going to happen. All right. We can move on into the news. News and notes from around the league. Presented my sleeper. I apologize if you did. Did you mention Injoku his injury? No, we did not. Okay. Just thought that would be worth it. He was knocked out of the game with a concussion. It looked rough. He went up. He kind of got undercut and fell on his neck and head. He is in the concussion protocol.

We will see if he plays next week. Daniel Jones will be the week three starter for the New York football giants. What say you? Well, Daniel Jones was awesome in the preseason, but that's the preseason. We've seen many of quarterbacks, the backup quarterbacks look great when they come in and they're playing against third string defenses. It was a move that the Giants, you have to make the move. You're owing to.

The team is very stagnant. You spent a top, what was he, pick six? I mean, he was a top 10 draft pick. It's a move that was going to come sooner or later. I thought it might be next week or even week five, but here we are. Let's see if Daniel Jones can play. When are you making a move on Golden Tate on the waiver wire? Right now. Really? I would be thinking about that too. Regardless of if Eli Manning was, was.

the quarterback this week. We're just, we're seeing the wide receivers with tons of volume, like no name guys. I apologize to them, but no name for fantasy, getting high volume of targets. You have Sterling Shepard with his health problems that he's dealing with. Cody Latimer's hurt. I would pick up Tate. So you're just willing to take a week? I'll take the one week, yes. I'm in the same exact boat. I think one thing you saw from Daniel Jones in the preseason was a willingness to drive the ball down field, whether they give him that freedom.

in the regular season. I don't know, but why not? I mean, get this guy the experience he needs. You're not going to the playoffs. So I would be taking a shot on Golden Tate. He's going to be his best friend. Ryan Fitzpatrick's going to start again against Dallas. Congratulations, Dallas defense owners. Trust the process. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So Ryan Fitzpatrick's starting. Minka Fitzpatrick is off to Pittsburgh. And Miami is worse on defense now than they were last week. Which is an impressive feat.

Yeah, please start all Dallas Cowboys, including maybe. Yeah. Somebody will talk about a little bit later because Michael Gallup is out two to four weeks with a meniscus injury. Talking about Devin Smith, guys. He's back, baby! I am so thrilled for Devin Smith. Mike and I were watching this Cowboys game. Smith gets this long bomb touchdown. And we're like, we're like, look at each other like, wait a minute. Who's, who's Smith? And then we're like, wait a minute.

That's Devin Smith, like, of the Jets fame of the, he had. Devin Smith, who has not really been in the league since 2016. Yeah. Well, he was a second round pick back in, what, 2013? A blazing fast burner. I'm sorry, second round pick in 2015. Finally worked his way back. However, I'd be more interested in Randall Cobb this week than I would be Devin Smith. I think Randall Cobb with the, he had a six, another six target game last week.

And we know that that roll, the Beasley Cobb underneath, need the utilization with Michael Gallup out two to four weeks. So both guys interesting against the Miami defense thing. We'll get shellacked. Alshan Jeffrey, status is in doubt for week three. I heard this morning that he's likely to miss week three and week four because it's a quick turnaround. That'll give him the extended recovery time. If Alshan Jeffrey is out,

You know, Nelson Aguilar, you have to look at him as a very viable option. Deshaun Jackson, there's hope from the Newark Star Ledger, Zach Rosenblatt, reporting that they don't think it's a serious injury, but I don't know what his status is for week three right now unless somebody else has heard something. No, that's all I've heard is what is a groin injury. Such a great opportunity for him if he wasn't hurt. McGarly. Yeah, and for a burner.

to have the groin hurt. It's not a good situation. You don't want a burning. No, you do not want burning in your groin area. No. Okay. James Conner's knee injury, not serious. He's confident he will suit up in week three against the 49ers. LaShaul McCoy's MRI showed no significant damage. He may be able to play this week. May not. We'll monitor. We'll keep you up to date. It's early in the week. Josh Jacobs is dealing with a groin issue. Tyrell Williams dealing with a hip pointer.

Yeah, so Williams will play through it. It's going to take a couple weeks for him to recover. Hopefully it won't hinder him too much. If Josh Jacobs and Tyrell Williams are both unable to go. Oh, man. Go, go, go, go, go, go. Darren Waller's. I just want somebody to talk about me someday the way that John Gruden talks about Darren Waller. Yeah.

He's just, he, this morning, the comparison is Travis Kelsey. That's the new one. Oh, yes. So, give him Kelsey targets then. Yeah. Well, hopefully he's, you know, as in down the field. Yes. Impossible. Impossible. Derrick Carr is incapable of doing that. I see what you're saying. And what his role in the offense is so important with that release valve so that Derek Carr doesn't throw 13 to 14 interceptions per game. Cam Newton's foot.

Not good. No. Set back with the foot. They kept saying there's no foot injury is not a problem. How dare you? Well, why isn't he running the ball? He's not the foot. Okay, he might be out. It's the foot. Yeah. He's not practicing. It's the foot. Well, coaches are liars. I don't know what. Did you hear Greg Williams lying about O'Dell Beckham Jr. being a bad player? Greg. Greg Williams is a buffoon. Like, this is.

This is proven. The man who was not allowed to coach because he's trying to hurt other players and then gets upset that someone insinuates you're trying to get other players hurt. This is the bed you made. You're sleeping in it for the rest of your life. He's on the short list of people that I would not want to hang out with for five minutes. Did you see Odell Beckham's post game where he just thanked Greg Williams for the extra motivation? Oh, did he really? Yeah. That's spectacular.

Okay, so Mario did in practice. Injuries not serious should be playing. DJ Chark Chris Conley, Marquis Lee, all listed as limited participants, whatever. So the Jigs were all hurt apparently. Yeah, we'll talk about Chark in a little bit. News and notes is always brought to you by this sleeper app. Go ahead and grab it. Get it.

Get it or else or else you're going to miss something. That is true. Before we get into the waivers, want to thank today's sponsor, Manscaped. You know I've been talking about Manscaped. I love them.

limited entries so go to fanduil.com slash ballers put me in coach all right let's start with the wide receivers and we're talking waiver wire so let's talk about how much fab we'd spend let's talk about whether you'd use that number one waiver priority at all on these guys there are two players in the probably owned but worth checking on category that's john brown and john ross now john brown

72% owned. John Ross, 70% owned. John Brown should be 100% owned. Yes. Yeah, I was going to ask you guys your thoughts here. John Ross, I'm still waiting for the shoot-a-drop on John Ross. I don't expect them to lead the league in receiving yardage. I also have been bringing up AJ Green will return. He has Buffalo in Buffalo this week. I'd be on the John Brown over John Ross camp. What do you guys think? Yes. Yeah, I'm perfectly fine with that because Ross could be.

an expiring fantasy asset. But we got to see what's going on with AJ Green because if it's still Ross, moving forward, Buffalo, that's a really tough matchup. But then Pittsburgh and Arizona, those are two juicy matchups for Ross if AJ Green is still out. Right now, John Brown is ninth most in, he's in ninth place for air yards. Yeah, two weeks. It makes sense. That's great. But seven for 72 on eight targets is.

a lot nicer than having one or two receptions and a touchdown. You get more sustained passing point. Yeah. The volume has been there. The depth of targets been there. John Brown is just a great asset right now. Should absolutely be owned. He is probably owned in your league. So let's talk about guys who might be available. Right. All right. Main waiver wire pickups at the wide receiver position. Who are your favorites right now? So if we're talking guys that are widely available, I don't know how you...

start with someone other than demarcus robinson who is he's available everywhere and he balled out six for one seventy two and two and the the thing about robinson he was the primary wide receiver two he he played on ninety five percent of the snaps it was him and sammy walkins yes hardman got his but robinson was he was the two and

He will continue to be that until Tyree Kill returns, and then we'll have to see what happens. So if you, for short term, I would pick up Robinson because you want to play him, even though the Baltimore matchup is not what you prefer. Hardman probably has longer term value since he might be that three once Tyree Kill returns. But Robinson, man, you've got to pick him up.

Well, you got to pick both up. Yeah. That's, I mean, that'd be the key, right? Right now, Robinson far less owned, but both under 50% owned. You got to pick them both up. Do you, you know, what are you spending on a guy like DeMarcus Robinson as a temporary, you know, because it's just as likely. People need to look at Sammy Watkins last week, who I think we all agree is a more talented player than to Marcus Robinson. And more of a focus based on target share, if you look at the season, I mean, Sammy Watkins is near the, in the top five in targets.

on the course of the year right now. And even he, you know, was the odd man out in this last week. No touchdowns, 49 yards receiving. So it's just as likely that Robinson could be that situation next week. So what would you invest fab dollar-wise? And would you spend your top waiver priority on Robinson just for the upside? I would not burn the number one priority on Robinson. But I would spend, you know, I don't know, eight to, eight to 12 bucks on him.

I'm a little less bullish. I think that the Baltimore matchup combined. I mean, there should be a lot of points going back and forth because Lamar Jackson can score. So it's not the end of the world. But I agree. I wouldn't. I don't factor matchups in anymore when I'm talking about Patrick Mahomes. Sure. Well, you also had Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk both put up 100 plus receiving yards last week and they're not getting off of Patrick Mahomes. So like compare him to Nelson Aguilar. Would you rather have DeMarcus Robinson?
