Week 5 Waivers & QB Streamers, Jason Gets Trolled

really good backs. It's frustrating when a third is involved. Legere Blunt. Did you hear the news about that? Shut. Shut your mind. We'll get to that. No, it's frustrating. And it's not that you go cut Lindsay or you throw him out the window. It's just going to be a game-specific situation. Because if he doesn't get in the end zone in this game, he average 5.8 to carry, and he's still going to be a running back three in that situation. That's the reason I have paused.

Great runner. I don't understand when you're coming down to win the game like Denver was, how you can have like a playmaker, not on the field. I don't get how you. Either one. Freeman or Lindsay totally capable. Your user's choice between those two. Put one of those guys on the field. I choose Booker. It's like you have the wheel where the entire thing like is two thirds of it. It's good. And then you have one whammy and you spin the wheel. It's a.

It's a foolish promise made to Devante book. Yes. It's one of those like, you know, hey, I know this undrafted rookies playing ahead of you and we drafted another. It's okay, though. You know, you were saying this. You're our two-minute guy. Come on, buddy. Oh, shoot. We made him our two-minute guy. We've been doing that in practice. Dang it. All right. Two-minute team, get on out there. You sure you don't have a sore hammy there, Devante? All right. Let's move on to the rest of the news. News and notes from around the league.

Jason scared me in the office yesterday. He told me that Howard is out two to four weeks with a sprained MCL. And I thought he meant Jordan Howard. Yes, that would have sucked. But no, O.J. Howard, which still sucks. Still sucks. And we were talking about Cameron Brate. Look, the combination of James Winston, who throws to the tight ends and has a good rapport with Cameron Brate. And O.J. Howard out. Cameron Brate is a great pickup. The problem is.

They're on by this week. And so picking up a tight end on buy, you must have a crappy roster if you got two spots to burn. And if you do, go ahead and you can play that game. I mean, someone's going to do it in every league, probably. But I recommend it. You would pick up. Yes, I would. I would drop my fourth wide receiver or whatever to pick up Cameron Brate because.

I'm going with the two to four weeks. If OJ Howard is out for four weeks and camera break is the primary pass catching tight end for three weeks. Sure. With James? I'm actually with you. I mean, look, Henry. I'm going to do it. Henry's out for the year. Delaney Walker's gone. Olson gone. Ingram, Doyle, Eifford, Howard, Disley, Buck, Hurst. If you're a tight end, watch you back. At the end of that, it really sounded like you said butt hurt. Oh, yeah, Disley, Buthurst.

Butthurst. Gone. Can we get Dizzy Butthurst in here? See, I heard you say Butthurst and like I was imagining a different type of car. Oh, that carries only. A hurst with a big booty. Booty! Oh, man. I got a tweet. I need to bring Booty Scoot and Cam Newton back. Look, it's a bye week. So the nickname goes on by guys. You don't know this stuff? James Winston will be the starter after the buy.

Doug Marone doesn't even know when he's coming back. And the general consensus out there is what we said on the show yesterday, which is if you missed two weeks the first time, you're missing at least two weeks the second time. And it's probably going to be more because two didn't do it. So I'm saying three weeks is the minimum you're going to miss Leonard Fernette, which makes T.J. Yeldon a wondrous pickup if he was back out there. 100%. He would be the, he has the far and away.

100% biggest pickup this week. If he's on your waivers, spend a lot to get him. Biggest pickup of the year? Yeah, so far, without a doubt, the biggest pickup of the year. I would spend $35, $40 to grab him because I think you're going to see a significant portion of the season. And if you are the Leonard Fournet owner, if you're not able, even if you were able to get T.J. Yeldon, there are plenty of players in every league that buy the injury dip.

They say, I want to buy cheap on a guy who's injured. And if you can get something for Fournett, if you don't have an IR spot, instead of having him clog up your bench, come back. I would try to package him together and move him. I don't want this hamstring issue on my team. Would you rather have Philip Lindsay or T.J. Yeldon. T.J. Yeldon. For the upside, right? Yeah. Yeah.

And I guess we'll talk all the waivers in a minute. It's the waiver show. Bill O'Brien. So Lamar Miller came out of the game a little banged up, but should be okay. Ezekiel Elliott, same story. Playing the knee and ankle injuries, according to Jason Garrett, but expected to play this week against Texas. Did anybody ask Bill O'Brien if he, if Lamar Miller also was like went into the game a little banged up? And he's, he was not good. And Deont de Foreman will be hopefully coming off the pup here in a couple weeks. Something to monitor.

Lions coach, or Pat Matricia is what I was going to say. But we'll go with Matt Patricia. He believes that Carry on Johnson is getting enough work. Yeah, well, that, that's tough. Has he heard this? Carry on top. Look, I'm going to be blunt about this. That bad decision is bad. I'm going to ridicule him. That is so bad. I mean, is there a chance here that he's just saying this, supporting his players, supporting his offensive coach.

And we're going to see a greater shift, you know, every week and say, no, we, we, you know, in the coaching meetings, say one thing and to the press, say another. Can there be a two-minute guy but the first two minutes of every quarter? Right. And that can be blunt. You're our two-minute guy. Legerick, Blunt, in the past two-minute games, has carried the ball 23 times for 60 yards.

Yeah, but he wears that defense down for carry-on. For 60 yards. And my axe. That's 2.6. Look, he's saying this. His defense is not very good. Matt Patricia better get it together. I know we're four weeks into his entire head coaching career. This is not how you start. He just needs to play the Patriots every week. Ryan McDowell pointed out, so in his first three carries, Carri-on-Johnson had 35 yards. Looked great.

The rest of the game, he had six carries. Six carries the rest of the game. He's helping your offense move. Why are you taking him out and putting in Laguerre plays? Because he's getting plenty of work. Yeah. Plenty of nine. Nine carries in there. And by the way, just for your comp the past two games, Carrion Johnson's carried the ball 255 times for 156 yards. So what you're saying is.

If you give it to Kerry and Johnson, he runs for more yards and helps your team. If you give it to Legger-Blunt, he runs for less yards and hurts your team. Yes. Yes. It's pretty hard to figure out. And I don't blame Matt Patricia. Carry the four. Got it. I don't blame Matt Patricia for not being able to understand that. I mean, we dug real deep for these numbers. And, you know, and I still don't fully grasp it, grasp it, wrap my head around it. But I, you know, we'll, we'll keep looking into this and see if we can figure out. Wait. Hold on. Hold on. I got to.

What if it's Matt Stafford? What if Matt Stafford is saying, Carrion Johnson is eating up too much of my potential passing yards? And they want, he wants the Garrett Blount. He wants him to put him into second and long situations. He's got to throw the ball. Coach, we have no, we have no choice now. We have to throw it. It's Stafford time. It's because he, yeah.

He doesn't get to put his hat backwards and get going. The truth is, I think we've uncovered a conspiracy. Legerick Blunt. We've comforted ourselves. Legerick Blunt is personal friends with Matt Patricia from their days in New England. He came over, and I believe that Matt Patricia believes that LaGarrett Blunt is not who he is now. But hopefully he shifts and can recognize that because his job is to do so. I'm going to trust that it will shift.

Yeah, me too. Me too. He did start. Yes. He did start. And he started amazing. Legerre Blunt signed a $2 million contract. I mean, this is not, you're not heavily invested. Real quick, before we get into the waivers, a reminder, Julian Edelman, Mark Ingram and Robert Turbin, those PED pals, coming back after four weeks.

I think they wrote letters like Penn Pals. Well, they had nothing to do for four weeks, so they're back. They're fresh. They're ready to go. We're excited about Mark Ingram. Are we actually excited about Julian Edelman? I am. Yeah. I want to see. Excited for Brady? Yes. I want, despite, you know, the shade that's been thrown on the Patriots, I want the Patriots to be awesome. I want to see great offense. I want Tom Brady to go out and throw 40 touchdowns. Not worried about a P.E. decrease for Mr. Edelman?

Yeah, I mean, that's always a worry. You've seen plenty of players who have a great year. They get busted for PEDs. They come back and then they're just, for some reason, not quite as good. If Robert Turbin is half the size. He goes Popeye who's left out spinach. Yes, yes. That's pretty funny. You're like, wait, that's not Robert Turbin. All right. Before I get into the waivers, we do want to thank today's sponsor, Harry's. Look, we've talked about Harry's for a long time. It's not a tough.
