Week 3 Waivers + QB Streamers, Rocks are Rock Hard

who obviously can go full ham and just have this big monster game, but could also pretty much, you know, disappear. Sure. Or a Nelson Agilar who, you know, if Alshan is out, which seems a sure thing, if D.Jax is out, which could happen. Now all of a sudden, you've got a good matchup against Detroit where he's pretty much the wide receiver won. Who would you rather have out of those?

I think I would go with DeMarcus Robinson. I would too. This week. So I understand that point of view, but you happen to make a decision right now on whether D-Jax is in or out, and that actually matters quite a bit to me as to what. Tyree Kill is out. We know that that's going to happen. And the thing for Aguilar is, yeah, he had 11 targets. He had a huge game. The Eagles were also playing catch up that entire game against the Falcons. So do you expect that type of a game script against the Detroit Lions? A lot of the times when I'm,

Looking at guys like this and answering that question on the waiver wire, Jay, I would just decide that I'm content. I'd probably be content getting either one at the right price than I would making the decision and paying up. So if I'm sitting there and I'm going, yeah, I'm going to spend, you know, I'm willing to spend $5 on a wide receiver this week, I'd probably, you know, put five or six bucks on DeMarcus Robinson, five or six on Nelson Aguilar.

and maybe five or six on, maybe four or five on Randall Cop. That's probably how I would do it this week if Terry McLaren was not out there. That was the name I was going to pivot to, Jay, with these new, the new sexy waiver wire names. Yeah, yeah. Where's McLaurin?

McLaren is the tip top of the list for me unless I have to start the player this week. He plays Chicago. It's not the greatest. But rest of season, I think Terry McLaren, I mean, hopefully he's not available in your leagues because last week we were saying, you know, I was trying to say he's a great pickup. So hopefully you already picked him up last week. But check in your leagues. Terry McLaurin needs to be rostered. He's 90 plus percent of snaps.

Both games. He's the clear number one target. He's also looks great. He's number five in air yards. He's really good. His route running looks good. He's a super fast sub 4-4 player. So there's nothing not to like it. Did you see? Well, there's one thing, and that's the Redskins offense. But right now, Case Keenum's sustaining it. Do you see ESPN trying to sell Monday night?

No. Case Canem versus Mitch Trubisky. Yeah, if you look at the lineup for Monday Night Football, where we stand right now, like things can change in a week in football, but they can't be very excited with the decisions that they made. Yeah, it's just not a pretty picture. No. But McLaren looks great. I mean, it's rare for a rookie to put up the kind of production he's done through two weeks. Has Chicago, the Giants, New England over the next few weeks.

So we'll see what happens there. Is there any other name that you want to bring up at the wide receiver position that takes priority? Now, we brought up Golden Tate earlier. To me, that's of a high priority. Sure. Because I'm looking to, you know, take my team. If you're not looking for a fill-in, you're trying to just equip your team. And this might be the week you get ahead. You don't have to spend fab dollars or a waiver priority. You sneak Golden Tate onto your lineup. And then, you know, you get him with Daniel Jones and see what you have.

So he would be on the list as well. I think Randall Cobb's a nice spot start. I don't know how real interested I am in Devin Smith. I don't know if I'd spend more than a dollar or two in Fab, but I wouldn't mind putting them on my bench as a flyer. Yeah, I would also throw out Debo. Debo Samuel's been pretty involved for the Zambos. Debo versus Goodwin. I would rather have Debo for target volume. Goodwin has the snap share. He's always on the field, but he's only had three targets in both games.

There's part of me that feels like Debo is benefiting from the running back friendly offense. Sure. In San Francisco where, I mean, he's got the six most yards after the catch through two weeks, and he's getting these screen passes, the creativity of Kyle Shanahan, and then using that. And, you know, this week they take on Pittsburgh. It's very interesting because they obviously drafted Debo Samuel.

this regime with a purpose. And they're putting it into practice. They know how to use him well. It's nice when coaches say recognize the strengths of an athlete and put them in a position to win. And then DJ Chart had a very, very good week too. So he's put together two straight weeks. Nine targets, seven for 55 and a touchdown. He seems to be the secret gardens go-to guy. And that's what you have to pay attention to where D.D.

was going to be Nick Foll's go-to guy. He's, the garden wants nothing to do with D.D.D. They need to put up 25 points before he becomes Savage Garden. Yeah. Okay. That's fair. I agree. And that's my issue with D.J. Chark looks, like, if you want to look at him, great. He's a talented wide receiver, and he is the clear. He's a burner, and he was a second round pick as well. And he's a clear first read for Gardner. But I just don't know if I want a piece of that offense very much.

The last name that I want to make sure we throw out is James Washington. You might disagree. I think in deeper leagues he should be picked up. But to me, if you want to grab him and stash, and just hope. Because James Washington was drafted to be a great player. He came out of college, highly touted, where he played with Mason Rudolph. All you've seen over the last two preseasons, granted preseason. But with Mason Rudolph, he is torched.

Dante Moncrief sucks. He pretty much got benched last week. So now there's a real volume, opportunity, and possible love fest from Mason Rudolph. I would roster James Washington. Wouldn't play him this week unless it's like a DFS lineup. But, yeah, I mean, I would, I would want to have him before a potential break it. Okay.

There's some other names out there at wide receiver, but I think we covered the main ones. Look at D.K. McCaff is the other name. We need to least mention it. That's a hard part with the James Washington take, the flyer. That's why deeper leagues, it applies more to me because I think they're, every name we mentioned, I'd rather take that shot than Mason Rudolph building James Washington myself, Mike. Do you want him as a flyer in a regular redraft league? The other names we brought up before James Washington, I would.

prefer to have them. But I do side with Jason that you can't ignore that the two have already played together. We already have, we have seen that chemistry. What makes a great quarterback wide receiver pairing is they just have a natural chemistry. Like Big Ben and Antonio Brown had it. Aaron Rogers and Jordy Nelson. They just, they have a mind meld. You know the tendencies, you know the body language already of that player.

I love that. I just have a hard time with Vance and Juju knowing that they're going to be the guys that probably receive more targets overall. But it's interesting that they've, you know, they obviously, when James Washington came out, a lot of optimism around what he can do and maybe him and Mason can figure it out. All right. Running back pickups. Who are your favorite running backs this week on the waiver wire? So interesting names. To me, Rahim Moster is the number one pickup.

He is a guy that I'm very confident to put in my lineup. And that's what I'm looking for running back. You know, not like, oh, I want to roster this guy maybe in three or four weeks. He's going to be good. The San Francisco running game just clicks. Shanahan's system works. And I have- He's got some pep, man. He looks great. He's got some slippery pep. He can just sneak between these guys and he's, you know, top speed. He looked great.

Yeah, he really did. I mean, he was electric on the field and, you know, he's a must start, I think. Rahim must start. At least for a week. Yep. Last week, snap count. Rahim with 34, Breita, 21. And then Jeff Wilson with 15. My name is Jeff. So you might not be able to count on, you know, the touchdown distribution from one guy to the next, but the snaps kind of matter.

Yeah, speaking of snaps, a player who is likely to see a lot of snaps, yet again, because he is infinite, he is all, he is Frank Gore. The update for Devin Singletary's hamstring, as he is considered day-to-day. Head coach, Sean McDermott, said they still don't know definitively at this point. If I have to take the guess right now in the waiver wire, while that's running, I think that Singletary will miss at least a week.

as the way that he pulled up from that hamstring. Frank Gore, it's inefficient, but he's going to see volume. He'll get the goal line work, and they get to take on the Cincinnati Bengals. I mean, Buffalo is a solid team, and they're going to be able to compete against the Bengals, especially offensively. So I'm very interested in Frank Gore if you need a spot start. Well, in hearkening back 10 years, he's been waiting a long time for me to say this. But Frank...

Greg Gore's been waiting for you to say something. Frank Gore, greater signed Adrian Peterson this week. Adrian Peterson takes on the Bears on Monday night football. Oh, no, thank you. Hugely inefficient in week one, saved his week with a touchdown. Frank Gore had 19 carries. Peterson only had 10 last week. And Gore is a much better start this week. Yes. Jalen Samuels. Now, it's a tough call for budget for your fab dollars, for your waiver wire spot. If we knew that.

you know, James Connor was going to miss a week or two, I'd say, hey, he would be the number one. Yeah, just, you know, use your budget and pick him up. But now Connor should be out there. Jaylon Samuel steps into an offense now, you know, run by Mason Rudolph. I just don't have enough confidence for me to. Now, if you're the Connor owner and you know that he's dealing with an issue, you need to go out and pick up Jaylon Samuels. Yeah, they have to. When Connor left the game, I believe, uh,

22 out of 23 snaps went to Jalen Samuels. The one running back system will continue for Mike Tomlin, and it will be Jalen Samuels, who is a great pass catcher. So yes, you can't spend a lot on him right now, not even knowing if he'll play, because if James Connor is healthy, he'll still see the bulk of the carries. Maybe Samuels works in a bit more, but Samuels should still be.

Try and get a little bid on him so you can stash him. All right. What about Carlos Hyde? 20 for 90 last week. Takes on the Chargers this week. Also worth bringing up. Chris Thompson may hit the waiver wire in some leagues. Probably not, but five for 48 through the air didn't get any carries really in week two. The snap count, though, Chris Thompson's way. What do you think about those two guys? I would go Carlos Hyde. I actually think Carlos Hyde looked good. He has. He's getting the work. 20 carries.

And now this is a matchup where, you know, the Los Angeles Chargers are difficult to beat through the air. Right. And susceptible to beat on the ground. That's the recipe for Carlos Hyde. So he's a very Frank Gore-style player to me. I'd rather have Gore than Hyde right now. But I'm fine with either. If you're dealing with injuries and you need a running back, you could start either. Darwin Thompson. Are you willing to pick him up and stashing?

Yes, I'm picking him up. Similar to Samuels, you don't have the information right now. Shady McCoy might play. I haven't seen an update yet on Damien Williams if he is good to go. The last thing I'd heard out of Kansas City was they don't think that it's any kind of serious injury so that you're in a complete holding pattern there. Go ahead. I love Michael Keith. If Shady's out, then Darwin will get on, he'll get some snaps. Would you drop?

Malcolm Brown or Justin Jackson for any of these names that we mentioned? Yeah, I mean, I think that it depends on what you're looking for, right? If you need a start, a lot of the names we mentioned are better starts. I would start, Mostert, Gore, over those guys. So if you need a start and you have to make that transition, do it. If you, you know, otherwise I don't. A sturt.

I don't think that either of those guys should be dropped on their own. Certainly not. I wouldn't just drop Malcolm Brown or Justin Jackson. They should be rostered in general. Now, if you're listening at home and you have some food around you, stop chewing, put it down. If you have a dramamine, maybe you want to take that. I don't know the name you're going to say, but I'm already disgusted. I just figured you were already on it. Whatever drug he says. No, it's Peyton Barber.

Do you pick him up? Because I dropped him last week based off of what was happening with the snaps in week one. I looked for the fool because Peyton Barber went out, got 23 carries, got the touchdown. The matchup is nice. The matchup is good against the Giants. Like he's in our two flex league of record. He's in my lineup over Adrian Peterson. So then you would pick him up. Yes. I think he's just in that category of spot start. Like I don't know how I'm supposed to count on.
