For Jalen Waddle. Where are you rest of the season? Like Jail Lottel, the rest of the season will be the wide receiver. It'll still be a top 20 guy. I think that the Rams are, they're going to be a team that you're going to try to avoid. I think that their defense is that level. Yeah, they traded for McDuffie. They're a very difficult matchup. I'm still pretty bullish on Waddle going forward. I would say, yeah, somewhere around wide receiver 15.

56:04 ↗

Jameson Williams through three weeks, four for 49 in this one. They got him involved early. And then they said, no more. Nine targets, four targets, four targets. It was the Gibbs show. I mean, I'm on raw. By the way, Jason's green goblin pit for prize picks. They're supposed to be the layout. And he, before the episode, Jason comes in and he's like, guys, I got a line today. That feels like cheating. He's like, and I was like, oh, is it like when I had McCaffrey for like 16 receiving yards? He goes, yeah.

56:33 ↗

Might be better than that. It was. It was Amun Ra for 32 yards. For 30, all he needed was 32 yards. He caught four passes. Yeah. How many yards did he have? 19. Here's some numbers for you. 56, 161, 661, 62, 73, 43, 193, 70, 70, 70. These all sound more than, than, do they?

56:55 ↗

Yeah. Oh, well, let me keep going. 45-15, 77, 70, 100, 45, 86, 97, 58, 54, 49, 92, 164, 58, 139. Let me get to this year. Those are the last two years. I think we got it. Yeah, 67, 142. Okay, we're going to keep going. Green goblin of 33 yards, 19. Okay. Oh, football. Ameka, Abuka still can't get to double digits.

57:25 ↗

And it's probably not going to get better with undrafted free agent quarterbacks for the next three weeks. Godwin has not a lot left right now. And that team... I was going to say the Buccaneers are a team that looks like you do not want a part of right now. You're going to have a couple weeks without Baker. We don't know if Bucky was injured. I mean, I know he was injured in the game, but we don't know if it's anything serious. But that team is right now three losses.

57:54 ↗

They haven't looked good, and now they're without their quarterback. So you would imagine this team is probably going to start off at best like one in five. And at that point, your season is over. Speaking of seasons being over, Brian Thomas Jr. Dude, speaking of careers. So Brian Thomas Jr., snap count dropped to 37%. Brian Thomas Jr. had one target for one catch for eight yards in a game in which there have been two games this year. They've scored 35 points, 34 and 35.

58:25 ↗

Um, nope, it's not happening. Parker Washington. That is definitely happening. Dude's so good. But, I mean, 37% snaps. What, what is this career ending? I mean, what is going on? You got to, the Jaguars have to trade him. Like, they have to get something for him. He feels like a trade candidate for sure. And if I'm, if I'm any other team out there in the league, I'm trying to trade for him. This is a guy who has a rookie put up 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns. And now it's like he's the worst, like,

58:55 ↗

He is uninvolved completely in this offense. BTJ was the Harrison year, right? Yes. Yeah. So both of those guys have gone from their best season is their rookie season. Yeah, and Ladd. And then decline and then decline. Yeah, even Ladd. Neighbors too, granted an injury. But routes-wise, it's Jacoby, it's Parker, it's Brenton Strange. Those are the- And who is the other, it's not- Josh Cameron? Josh Cameron. I mean, he's only at 28% of the routes.

59:25 ↗

Yeah, but how much? Was this snap count percentage-wise? Well, he had the same exact snaps as Brian Thomas. That's mind-blowing. Tucker Kraft. Thomas was 47% of the routes. It was a week for certain tight-ins. These guys didn't get it done. Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorte, Dalton Kincaid, Kyle Pitts, Isaiah likely.

59:46 ↗

And Mark Andrews, it couldn't be more over for Andrews. That dude looks so slow. And then he's slow and he drops the ball constantly. Yeah. He does. And, I mean, Kincaid, it was disappointing. Fumbled, two for 38. The bills were. I mean, they were throwing to catch up the whole game. Yes. I don't think anyone was like great for the bills. It was the weirdness of we just talked on last week's show of.

60:15 ↗

You know, coming off of the Thursday game where it's, where Josh Allen, how does anyone ever stop Josh Allen? He's the, this is the greatest player in football I've ever seen. But you know that people do. And then you go to the next week and it's the freaking chargers are slow. They're slowing down Josh Allen and company. It's football is so weird. James Cook had an okay game, but literally nobody else did. I mean, yeah, Cook was great. DJ Moore didn't get to 10 points.

60:45 ↗

Keon Coleman was four points. Kincaid less than three points with the fumble. It was just nothing. I would not be surprised those of you out there if you see Josh Allen not practicing this week. There was a knee injury. You can go and review it. And then you can see the postgame speech from Joe Brady when they got the W. He was clearly limping in the locker room. Most medical analysts are considering this a contusion versus any type of...

61:13 ↗

MCL sprain or something like that which would be good but you could see limited practices and you could see limited running for a little bit if he's if he's banged up but yeah the Isaiah likely situation is unfortunate because that came I mean the number one guy that had the rapport with Jackson Dart in the off season was Isaiah likely yeah again that was part of that crazy bad weather game where you do you kind of have to throw that game out and that Minnesota Chicago game out

61:42 ↗

I think it will be better for likely. That one was, that one was a goose, right? Yeah, that was, that was very, very bad. The opportunity, the need. The chargers are just absolutely broken. I mean, the chargers are who's, it's like they have so many good pieces. They've got a, they've got a quarterback, which is basically the only thing you need. They've got a first round running back. They've got two quality tackles. They've got a,

62:11 ↗

a first round wide receiver in Ladd, and their offense. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, second round. First is huge. Pick 34. Huge. First round pick. But their offense scored 14 points in week one, 14 points in week two, and 16 points in week three. Seattle, Denver, Kansas City, two or three on the road before the buy week. I would bet their 0 and 6. Is Mike McDaniel?

62:43 ↗

What is going? It's not just McDaniel. No, you can't go to this at McDaniel. Because last year they didn't, I mean, this is three straight years with Harbaugh, underwhelming. It's a mystery. Yeah, I'm sorry, Chargers fans. It's not like we weren't rooting for you. Man. We like Ladd. We like Hampton. Two of the guys are my guys based on the expectations for Mike McDaniel to do what he's done with these guys. Yeah, the Chargers and the Patriots are the two teams that I feel like.

63:13 ↗

are broken right now. The bottom four scoring teams in the league. The Dolphins? Yeah, okay. We saw that coming. Yeah. The Titans. Yeah, that checks out. And then the Patriots and the Chargers. Yeah, that one's more surprising. Tampa's not far behind and also Houston's own three. Yeah, that's unbelievable. But yeah, I mean, Tampa is, I'm trying to look at their schedule because I want to be a fair-minded.

63:42 ↗

like critic of different teams, not just the Chargers. Green Bay this week against Tampa. So that's a tale of two teams feeling the funk. And then at Dallas, then Pittsburgh. Oh, quick Green Bay note. Nothing has been said. This is all speculation. But there was a video of Christian Watson on his last route. Yeah.

64:06 ↗

And it definitely looks like a guy who pulled up and reached right for his hamstring. So Green Bay has a set. I wasn't sure how much you thought about that, Mike. It's very good. A guy who has hamstring problems? Yeah. Grabbing his hamstring? Yeah. It was after the interception. Yeah. So last way of the game. Nothing has been said publicly about it. But I bring that up because tomorrow's waivers. And if you got Watson and you haven't, like they haven't said anything, you need to just be prepared.

64:33 ↗

for you might have a Wednesday pop up and they're like, oh, Christian Watson is not practicing. And just you got to be in front of these things. Thank you. Yeah. All right. We're going to say goodbye for today. Back with waivers tomorrow. If you need custom waiver wireless for every single one of your leagues, that's part of the ultimate dashboard at Jointhefoot.com.
