Fantasy Football - Week 5 Waivers & Streamers + Trade Jealousy - Podcast for 9/30

you'll probably get one or two of those Jamar Chase games where he just his average explodes because he goes for 120 and two. It just, you know, a broken defensive play here turns into a massive score for Jamar Chase. But consistency and longevity, I there's you might have to make a a very unfortunate and disgusting decision. >> Yeah. I I'm having a hard time just even having this conversation. >> Yeah. Because there's no there's no real easy answer or path. You got to look inside. >> Yeah. Me too. >> And ask what you're willing to do. Look, Jake Browning has put up 5.9 and 5.4

fantasy points at the quarterback position. >> Yeah, I mean it and it's it is not his fault, I don't think. I mean, obviously >> yards per attempt is five. >> Yeah, they I mean >> it's not good. >> The ball is snapped. He is under pressure. They have no run game to even dream of taking pressure off of it. If you're playing against a good defense, you can't do anything. And at that point, >> you almost can't start Chase Brown. >> I was just gonna say I feel like T. Higgins and Chase Brown are >> like they should be streaming options.

Like not not streaming off of waiverss, but these should be guys where you're looking and saying, you know, oh, bad matchup, tough defense. I'm going to throw Michael Pitman in, you know, over >> over Jamar Chase. Like at the end, the only thing that matters is that you score more fantasy points than your opponent. >> Man, yeah, what a difficult one. Um, didn't think we'd be deep diving the Chase decision, but it's one on >> Yep. >> It's the It's the 101. Like, >> it's the 101. >> Which, uh, last year's 101 >> was Was it Reek? >> Christian McCaffrey.

>> Yeah. >> Was he? >> Well, no. I guess McCaffrey was probably Yeah. I mean, >> he was the one. >> The injury happened, so he got >> Tyreek Hill was the number one wide receiver, >> right? >> Yeah. >> CMC didn't get knocked down a little bit with the preseason. >> The preseason injury. No. Everybody was still saying he's totally going to be fine. He's totally going to Don't worry guys, he's good for week one. >> Yeah, the lying lying liarface coach said he was going to be good. >> What's his name again? >> Lying lying liarface. >> Yeah. McCaffrey Tyreek Sidi Jefferson

Bejon last year. All right, let's talk some news. >> News and notes from around the league presented by Progressive Insurance. Lamar Jackson, the hamstring up in the air for week five. John Harbaugh come out and said there was no way he could have returned to the the loss. So, this seems like a real injury and a real issue. And you know, Lamar coming back doesn't mean he's back with the ability to run the same even when he does get back. So, adjusted expectations. >> They have a by-week. They've got two games and then a by-week. So, if they sit him out two, they get him out three.

>> Yeah. And they can't afford it. >> I know. They they can't afford to lose him. >> I mean, this could rush they're going to play a rush experience. >> Uh the Houston Texans and you know that that could rush can beat the Texans. >> Absolutely he could. It could be a competitive game though with the losses that Baltimore had on their def, right? >> Um that is not in Houston. That that is uh in Baltimore. And then the Rams the following week is going to be >> cannot beat the Rams. >> Correct. >> Um at least they're at home a couple

games in a row then. Yeah. Um all right, we've got more injury news. Terry McLaren trending in the right direction for this upcoming week. Cedric Tilman will miss quote weeks after suffering a hamstring injury. Um Todd BS said Bucky Irving is going to undergo an MRI. >> Yeah, this one popped up yesterday like midday uh seemingly out of nowhere cuz I don't recall seeing anything in the game where I mean Bucky Irving was was fantastic. I saw the play >> the yeah people started speculating say hey was this the play that that he got hurt and it was after that play he still

dominated so that's why it it's so weird but he is getting an MRI and affects waiverss in a big big way >> I don't see any news in here about Trey Benson do we have an update on Trey Benson of the Cardinal >> the the Trey Benson one is it's hard to know because it was a Monday bonus practice >> bonus >> I imagine because >> they need it real real bad. He played on Thursday. >> He's like, "Hey, we don't we're not taking Monday off. We're coming in. We're going to work." But Trey Benson was not at that bonus practice. So, it

we will have to speculate on what that we should have more news today hopefully before waiverss go through because Demarcado then next man up. So for the uh Bucky situation, Sean Tucker, Rashad White, Carlos, Amari D Marcado, >> uh 21-day windows to come off IR, Taj Spears for the Titans, Taesm Hill for the Saints. Joe Mixon, the news is the same. It's it's the news that there'll be more news later. >> Yeah, he will not be act activated yet. Like he is eligible now to be activated and the news is no. So I I mean >> which is a 21day window. So they're

saying he's not within 21 days of return. >> It feels like he's not going to play football this year. >> Yeah. I'm putting that odds under 10%. >> I feel like that was a double negative. You >> putting those odds at under 10%. >> Yeah. That he's not going to play. So he is going to play. So he's 90% he's going to play >> because I don't think that's saying you put the odds that he's going to play at under 10%. >> That he's not going to play. [laughter] No, I put the ozetti. Yeah. All right. Um J >> Jason Moore correcting us on our English

is >> uncharted waters. >> Wonder if he's right. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> Usually not. >> Ricky Pieraw. >> I still don't know. >> Jan I'm not sure what I said and I'm not even going to debate it. Sure.

So, more needs than just the injuries. Let's hit the waiver wire. [music] >> The waiver wire presented by Walmart. All right, we have the Falcons, Bears, Packers, and Steelers all going on the buy in week five. So, some pretty big players. I mean, no Bejian, no Josh Jacobs, Jaylen Warren gets another week to calm it down. Kenny Gainwell can >> no Rome. >> Watch the tape of himself dominating. No Roma Dun. Yeah, no Caleb. All right. Um,

starting at the running back position, Woody Marx is the story of the week. >> He absolutely is. >> And you know, the quotes coming out from their head coach, it was like amazing to see what he what he did. Curious if he can handle more type of thing. That that was the language. >> That is that is what you want to >> 24 hours take off the edge of >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm I'm cool. Uh if if you are unaware listening, Andy and I made a pre this weekend trade, one for one, Travis Hunter for Woody Marks. >> Andy received Woody Marks and it went

well for that. >> Um but the nice thing is >> if Travis were play each other this week, so you will play against Woody Marks. >> Fantastic. >> The good news is if Travis Dun were on the waiverss, you'd probably pick him up. >> I I probably would. You're I probably would. We would talk about him on this episode for sure. um to like stash and see if he >> we're going to get into the I guarantee you Travis Sunners's on the drop candidates list for wide receiver >> for sure. So the cool thing about Woody Marks like we're going to talk about a

lot of other options like Rashad White and Shawn Tucker about the possible injuries of of other situations. Woody Marx did not have Nick Chub go down. He played his way in and if you look at his snap counts, his utilization, he's getting more and more involved. For a rookie, that's exactly what you hope for. Chub has not been special by any means. So you you do think, okay, Marks is gonna get the ball more. And he is a very very capable pass catcher. He had five targets in this game. They need that with their bad offensive line play. The checkdowns from CJ Strad, he hasn't

really had those with Nick Chub. He has him with Woody Marks. So this is a guy who this last week was a top 10 running back. He's going to get more involved and looks pretty good on the field. What kind of fab are you dropping? >> If if Woody Marks is out there and I have any sort of need at the running back position, I'd probably go 50% of Fab. Yeah, I mean this is a very aggressive ad. The, you know, the injury situations, we may not have clarity, but you might want to put them on your roster. It's just a

matter of how much you're willing to spend. We did get a small update from Jonathan Ganon saying day by day when about when asked about Trey Benson not practicing. And um you know, there was another quote on on the Burns and Gambo show talking about today's an extra day. So, we had a bunch of guys not out there for different reasons. You know, when you put Rashad White, Shawn Tucker, Amari De Marcato, when you look at those injury situations, let's just start with Tampa. I tend to believe that like look, Rashad White is rostered in a lot of leagues. Sean Tucker 2%, Rashad White 45%.

I think Tucker would be the big beneficiary and get a lot of work >> if Buck Irving was out. like Rashad White is going to catch the passes, but I do think Shawn Tucker would get a ton of between the tackle work. That's interesting. So, where is he on because like with the the way that the the rest of the running backs are that we're going to talk about, no one is truly a priority at other than Woody Marks. So, like Rashad White because of the situation and the unknown like he's my number two guy that I'm going after at

the running back position. Do you have Shawn Tucker up there next to Rashad White? >> Jason, you doing all right? >> I I am uh not and I don't know what Mike said. Um >> he's So you you're having a moment here, >> dude. What What just happened? >> I'm so pissed. >> I What's wrong, guys? >> Oh my gosh. So here Oh my god. >> I don't even have a problem with it. >> Yeah, >> I think it's fine. >> Uh >> so go ahead. Go ahead. >> In real life already. We got mad Jason yesterday. We had about 26 minutes of

healthy Jason and it's over >> before the show. Uh we were talking about Malik Neighbors and the injury and that he he was put on the trading block cuz we're in a keeper league in our league of record and I basically looked to Andy. Andy's team is kind of out of it. Um you know he's he's not >> You gave him advice. He used the advice and now you are mad. >> No, no, no. I gave him advice. I said, "I'm surprised you don't have Malik Neighbors." Cuz honestly, I I figured he would go after >> for a keeper situation, all of that.

>> Yeah. Now, I did it. >> That's fine. But you gave up nothing. You gave up a fourth round pick in a three round keeper league. So, you gave up a seventh round pick. >> Oh, I see a lot of people shaking their head in Deucer's Alley. >> Okay. Before >> Oh, you're mad back there. >> Jeremy, what what happened before this trade went through? I had texted you and said, "I hate that you turned Andy onto Malikite because he wasn't on his radar and I was planning on target again." >> Wait, that was before I got after. Yes, [laughter] he he after I said that to

you, he texts me that then 20 minutes later you've got him FOR A FOURTH ROUNDER. WHY DO YOU GET Last year you were able to trade >> Amari Cooper for Jamar Chase? Why do you get the Okay, in Oh, give me a break. Give me a break. >> Did I get called an idiot in the show? >> There were other pieces. I'm just saying that is exceptional value. >> Does it help you? Would it comfort you at all to know that I offered a fifth and he countered with a fourth? >> Disgusting. I am so sorry, Jeremy. And to my league,

>> Al Borland is out of here. >> He's gone. He is left. >> He's saying good peace. >> Deuces. >> Deuces. All right, he's done. Um, >> he's actually go Yeah. Oh, he slammed the door. [laughter] >> He slammed the door. I'm sorry. We were talking about some waiver was talking about talking about So, we will rewind. I'm saying the way that the running back position looks right now, Woody Marks is a must add, top priority, but the other guys, Olly Gordon, Kendra Miller, you know, it's just you should add these guys, but because of the situation and what Rashad White would be should Bucky

Irving miss time and the and it's kind of making a decision right now of almost almost buying low on Rashad White off of the waiverwire Because if news comes out tomorrow like, "Oh, Buckyy's MRI came back. It's not good. He's gonna miss two weeks." Well, then if that news >> Rashad White would be picked up ahead of Woody Mark. >> If that news comes out today, then the Rashad White news is he's going to skyrocket in value. But Andy was saying he's into Shawn Tucker. So, is Shawn Tucker up there at just like your number two or number three priority running

back? >> I think you can get him for almost nothing. I think that everyone else will if if if Rashad White is available, they'll scrape and claw for Rashad White. And I think Sean Tucker has just as good of a chance to have a productive fantasy day. Um, but for like maybe a buck of fab, a two two bucks of fab. Not now. Not now that I said it in our league, but >> just just price puts you to Sean Tucker because headtohead you'd want Rashad White. >> If I had to if I had him on my roster to start one, I'd start Rashad White. Yes.

Okay. But but price-wise and availability, right? Like he's not there in a lot of competitive leagues. That's why Tucker's interesting. I want to bring up a name though, Mike, that I think is the maybe future Woody Marks of the situation today. And I want to see if you agree because you are the you were the whisperer of the >> We've been doing all right. >> The tucking away the backup running backs. The snap counts in production have have been going up. >> Kendry Miller. >> Okay. >> Kendry Miller of the Saints. You have a a running back in Alvin Chimera that is

getting older that has been hurt. Got hurt to end last year. Kre Miller 11 for 65 and a touchdown against Buffalo. >> Looked pretty good. >> He looked okay. Like I I think if you're stashing running backs, he probably belongs on your roster. >> Yeah, I would. I'm going to go. >> So, do you have a Do you have a a name that you'd rather highlight? >> No, no, no. I I wanted to because I I'm in agreement that that the way that the the running backs are looking that Kendra Miller is he's Yeah, he's a guy he's at number

six. I might I might bump him up, you know, Olly Gordon didn't really >> Aan's playing so well. >> Yeah, Ollie Gordon didn't really impress last night. I was I was hopeful he would be able to do something against the Jets. It it it makes so much sense for the New Orleans Saints to work Kendra Miller in and not just I'm talking the team like why if Chimera is any part of your future which I believe they he just got some sort of extension recently, right? I think he's on the team. >> Yeah. Yeah. Chimera is still a couple years
