My player's supposed to be on buy when I play you. Your player's not, but if we do this little swipsky Squopsky, then I got the player, you got to buy. It works. Oh, is that the more you know? I thought I had that somewhere in you. Yeah, well, there you go. There's my tips for, you know, this is why. You know. Brooks, you took care of it. You took care of it. You took care of it.

27:46 ↗

That's pretty intense. I was very surprised. I'm a little scared. All right, waiver wire, wide receivers. Let's start there. I feel like there's just always so many good wide receivers. Yep. And even on my team, I'm struggling with this flex position because every week I'm having to sit there and go, Corey Davis or Kenny Galladay or John Brown, like in that tier, we're talking about some of those guys. Tyler Boy. Yes, he's 72% oh now, but if he's not, he should be 11 for 100.

28:17 ↗

15 targets, and he's giving a floor to Andy Dalton, who may or may not be a stream of the week coming up. Take that, Matt Harmon. Oh, you're calling him out. Yeah, this was what? Two years ago, Matt Harmon and I argued on the show because I loved Tyler Boyd, and he said that he did not understand that. He was trash, and I said, you're trash, Harmon. Except you're a very handsome man and I love you.

28:41 ↗

We need to get body dropped. I mean, my goodness. Jordy Nelson, Surning Shepard and Quincy and Nunei are the others in that kind of probably owned but worth peeking at your waiver wire? Yep, yep. Yeah, you got to take a look, but more than likely not there. And listen, for all of those that say you're in a league where it's impossible for any of these guys to be, I get it. But you are not the majority. There are a lot of leagues in which these guys are there, and that's why we mention them. And even...

29:10 ↗

Even in our leagues where you have a lot of highly competitive people, a guy slips through the cracks by week. Shallow bench as well. Yeah. All right. Here are the main waiver wire guys. And I want to bring up a name that we haven't got to bring up. It's not the Beasles, but it's the Cooties. Oh, it's the Cooties. Circle, circle, dot, dot. Oh my gosh. Kiki Cootie. Kiki Cootie shot. 2% owned, but win 11 for 109 because.

29:39 ↗

He had to. Deshawn Watson, and by the way, this is the Houston, their draft pick and their slot receiver. Kiki got it done. 15 targets. Bruce Ellington is on the IR. Will Fuller left the game. He's banged up. We don't know if he is going to play. Bill O'Brien said that Will Fuller came out with his hamstring problem. It was precautionary, but it's strange.

30:06 ↗

If a player can play and you're in a contest that you may lose to pull out one of your really good players. That you really need to win. It's strange. That's a strange thing going on. That's right. He said he could have gone back in and they could have lost that game. I went to overtime. Yeah. He said it was not precautionary. If you said precautionary, Mike. Oh, I apologize. It was not precautionary. Yes. It was straight up cautionary. I misread the quote.

30:35 ↗

Yeah. So, I mean, the thing is with, you got to realize that Fuller has dealt with this. He's too fast. He's too fast for his hamstrings. So, yeah, I think there's a lot of problem I have. I think there's a legit chance that Will Fuller does not play this week or reaggregates it. Far and away to me, he is my number one waiver pickup. Interesting. Because you have a guy.

31:02 ↗

who's a rookie who was highly touted. A lot of people loved them. Hey, shout out to Matt Harmon, who likes Kiki Kooey Kooz. Oh my gosh. You know, Kiki Kuti's a good player. He's a great slot guy. He was running most of his routes from the slot. So even if Will Fuller is back, I mean, 15 targets in a game. And I realize it's not going to be that way every game. But you've got a shot here. He could be a thing. This is his first NFL game. Oh, yeah. And let's.

31:31 ↗

Let's roll the clock back. Before, what, Ellington and then, who am I thinking? Braxton Miller. Broxton Miller. Cudy was the best in camp. So that was the reports we got. In camp, he was the best performer, and now we get the chance to perform on the field. So pay attention to him for sure. What would you spend Fab Wise on Kiki?

31:56 ↗

I would probably, I've said this before, I'll say probably every week. I don't spend a lot on wide receivers. I hold it for running Vicks because there's a plethora always of wide receivers you can grab, but I'd be willing to go up to like eight percent, $8 and $100 budget. What would you do to make sure your wide receiver core was Kiki and Didi? Oh, man, that's super important. I mean, you wouldn't get as many points, but you'd have Kiki. Is there a doo-Doo out there? Kiki. Oh, doodoo. Kiki Dudu.

32:23 ↗

Oh, that has to happen. If your team is Kiki. That sounds like the Super Mario Dungeon theme song. Kiki do, do, do, do, do, do. All right, let me ask you this, though, Jays. I get it. I'm very intrigued by Kiki. But if you knew that Geronimo Allison was going to easily clear the concussion protocol this week and be back as the starter for the Green Bay Packers, would Geronimo be your number one guy?

32:52 ↗

Or is it still Kiki over him? I think Geronimo has the higher ceiling and a pretty safe floor. So I would go Geronimo over Kiki if he clears. But, I mean, you've probably got to make this decision today. And every single person can sign Kiki. Whereas Geronimo's about half and half in terms of ownership percentage. It's a good question, though, because you can react in fantasy to the new hotness. And Allison had the concussion. But Allison is the better pickup. And Geronimo?

33:21 ↗

I mean, he was Gidropomo because he could have had an absolute, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I apologize for nothing. He could have had an absolutely monster fantasy game if he had come down with a couple of those crucial drops. Maybe the drops plus the concussion means you can get him. And maybe there's a big payoff. Because one thing we didn't bring up in the news, Randall Cobb, was not close to playing and is unlikely to play. They're in Detroit.

33:50 ↗

We'll see what happens this week. And if he doesn't play, if Allison doesn't play, you know, the majority of snaps, the other starter with Cobout was Marquez Valdez Scantling. Yes. And then Jamon Moore was the one that came in and took snaps. Jamon Moore. He needs to be a thing. Yeah. Come on Moore. Equanimius did not get in the game. He may if Allison's out, but right now it's. And I said.

34:17 ↗

Yeah, and we'll talk more about running backs. But Ty Montgomery, I think, is a, it gets a significant bump if Cobb and Geronimo are out. Antonio Callaway? I still think he's a top pickup. Nine targets. He caught three of them. Yeah. So, there was, there was some mental, very mental mistakes happening. I believe Mike would say Antonio Dropaway. That one's not even good. That's my point.

34:45 ↗

That's why I said Mike would say, I didn't come up with this. You did. It's clearly drop Oneo Calloway. I mean, it's right there, Jason. Is it? Is it really? I would be avoiding, look, if you have Calloway, you hold him. You wait and see. He was my start of the week. They missed it. I mean, Antonio Calloway misses a 60-yard bomb every single game. Those are the ones that I was hoping he would catch. Nine targets. You like that? I think. But he plays Baltimore next week.

35:15 ↗

Yeah. Jimmy Smith comes back. Yeah, it's no good. It's not going to be, it's going to be a big issue. He's not, it's going to be a situation with the pass rush that you saw with Mahomes. Maybe Calloway doesn't get a deep shot. But here's the thing. After Baltimore, which troubles. Calloway is not a, not necessarily a great play right there. But after that, Chargers, Tampa Bay, two delicious matchups for Antonio Calloway. Yes. You could probably.

35:40 ↗

So let's say you want to get in on Kiki, you want to get on Dronimo, and Tewan Taylor, who we're going to talk about, just put a small bid on Calloway. And if you miss out on these, the higher price guys, you have Calloway and you'll stash him for a week. Or you use our drop it like it's hot technique next week when people drop Antonio Calloway after the Baltimore game and pick them up for free off of waivers. Tennessee wide receiver, Tewan Taylor. Yes, he's 63% snap count this week, highest on the season.

36:08 ↗

Um, I do caught, I personally cautioned people not to overreact to Tewan Taylor, um, or Corey Davis, if you expect 25 a week, simply because the, the way this game went, they had to air this game, you know, they had to air it out. Seven for 77, nine targets. Tewan Taylor, I think you're going to see a lot of fluctuation from the number two in Tennessee. Yeah, I agree with that, but this is the first game.

36:31 ↗

without Richard Matthews and Delaney Walker, and he did what you hope, and more importantly, is what you brought up, the snap percentage. Because early in the season, we were all excited about him, and then it turned out he was behind Taj Sharp. I mean, he was buried for some unexpected reason. So what I'm keeping an eye on is, is he on the field? Because if he is, I think he will produce. And honestly, Tewan Taylor is a better receiver than Richard Matthews. He could be a bump up for Marcus Marietta.

37:01 ↗

All right, let's talk about the Coltswide receiver situation. See why Hilton may miss this week. If you need to stream somebody, are you streaming Ryan Grant, Chester Rogers, or Zach Pascal? Rogers and Pascal are unowned in every league. And Ryan Grant pretty much is. But Rogers, 8 for 85, 11 targets. Zach Pascal, 6 for 56 and a touchdown on 10 targets. And then Ryan Grant, 5 for 64 on 7 targets. You would expect, I think, you know,

37:30 ↗

If we hadn't seen what Pascal and Rogers did this past game, you probably would have been in on Grant. Yeah, it would have been easy. If I'm in a full PPR, yes, because I still think Ryan Grant, the type of targets he gets are not valuable. They're Beasles. But, you know, with TyWy out, maybe they'll use him a little bit better. I think I lean towards Chester Rogers. Now, we have a little bit of breaking news. We have a little bit of breaking news. Now, I guess while the show is going on a delivery,

38:01 ↗

in our studio, it's arrived. I hope it's... Fantastic. Now, it's being brought in, and it's not from me. Oh, sweet mercy. But go ahead and set this in here. I'll take it from you. If you're on YouTube... Oh, my goodness gracious. So, Jason, for the podcast listeners, obviously, the majority of you... Put it down. I got to see all the balloons. He received a lot of black balloons. There is a... Oh, and four! There's a...

38:34 ↗

poop emoji. Now, do you, is there a note in there, Jason? It appears there is a note. Get well soon. I want to say, I did not. Feel better soon. This is not from us. This is not staged. This is from my opponent who put me to O and 4. Thanks, Brian. Shout out. Enjoy not being my co-owner in Dynasty as you were. Oh, and 4. He says, sorry for your loss. Feel better.

38:57 ↗

I tried to be bad enough manager and leave Flux 47 on my bench. Still interested in a co-owner and dynasty? No, Brian. There's an actual O and four balloons at the top. You're either O and four or you're 40, Jason. Which would you rather be right now? You can leave them right there. I would much rather be 40 than O and four. Just leave them right there. That's perfectly set up just leaving just right there. You know what, though? You know what? More breaking news. Brian.

39:26 ↗

This right here, what I have behind me, this ridiculous set of delivered balloons, this is how you fantasy football. This is why we fantasy football. You are now a co-owner as you requested in our dynasty league. I will add you immediately because this is the type of interaction I'm looking for in a league. Well done, Brian. This is why we play. I mean, this is why you play fantasy football. Just.

39:49 ↗

It's a poop emoji balloon. Right by your head. I mean, that's spectacular. So back to the game. The Colts will be taking on the New England Patriots. Yes, in New England. In New England. You've got to imagine the game script. It's going to be very conducive towards Andrew Luck throwing the ball a lot. He had to throw it 62 times last week. Of course, it was an overtime game. But I think 40 plus pass attempts as the Colts struggle to tread water, I think is.

40:18 ↗

is well within the realm of possibilities. 100%. The player that I want for sure in this matchup, and we'll talk about him in a minute, is Naim Hines. I think that this matchup, the matchup with T.Y. Hilton not being there says they're going to have to use them in the passing game just so much. You cannot start Heinz at wide receiver, though. So if you had to take one of these wide outs, I'm actually going in on Ryan Grant, short passing game, PPR, streamworthy target.

40:46 ↗

I realize Rogers and Pascal had more targets this week, but I think it's going to be too hard to decide between those two. And the actual guaranteed production comes from Grant. Mind you, it might not be very sexy. But I go Ryan Grant. What's the name that you would go? Definitely the safest option. I'm going to go Chester Rogers, though. All right. Get some targets down the field. Mike? Yeah, I'm going to go with Ryan. No, no. I looked through all of them. Pascal, I mean, he is.
