68% of leagues. There's a lot of hype before the season, and he hasn't been dropped by a lot of people, although it could happen this week. He'd be a drop it like it's hot candidate. Make sure you look at your waiver wire after they run tomorrow because he could be sitting there. People might have tired of him, and he was only 2 for 36 last week, so he's somebody to pay attention to. And then Tyler Eiffert, 6 for 74 last week, keep your eyes on him. It's a thin, dangerous world for tight ends. Yep.

Inside the episode
129 passagesYeah, absolutely. The big name at the tight end position to even really talk about, you might not even want to pick him up. But that's Dallas Goddard, who had a monster game seven for 73 with a score on seven targets. So he was absolutely perfect. But the first two games, he barely even saw the field. I'll be shocked if he has more than two receptions this week.
That's my fear. I mean, absolutely. But do you want him on your bench to see? Yes, I want him on my bench. If Alshan is out and Wince is obviously back, I would even take a shot over a lot of other people to start him. Week one, he was a drop away from a touchdown reception. So he could have had two out of three weeks being a valuable fantasy tight-in. Being a top 12. Van, Vance McDonald or Dallas Goddard.
Hmm, that's, I think I would rather have Vance. If Vance showed he's healthy, we've always been big fans of Vince McDonald's. I'm doing the Vance dance all the time, but yeah, it's, that's a tough call because Vance McDonald played, I'm looking at Pro Football Reference, they show him playing on about 48% of snaps. I know he had the huge play. I would love it if they can go forward with Vance McDonald's, but it's a two tight end.
thing for both of these guys for both Dallas Goddard and Vance McDonald. Here's a drop it like it's hot candidate that I would be on the lookout for on waivers is Jack Doyle because Jack Doyle is injured, did very little weak to. People are going to have to just move on and say, I can't trust him, drop him. But Eric Ebron got the targets and he just didn't get it done. If you look at the snap percentages between those two guys, I think they could, when Doyle gets back,
If Doyle was dropped, I would take him over all of these titans that we've been talking about easily. Ben Watson 5 for 71 last week. Will Disley crashing back to Earth. Oh, Big Montana. Crashing back to Earth with one for four. The moose was nearly goosed. I love Big Montana's. Are you talking about the sandwich? Yes, I am. They are delicious. Now, is this right? You told me that you almost, you almost destroyed your diet and your...
bowels by doing kind of a depressing like a fast food run last night but you held off i did i held off and i said i'm not gonna i'm not gonna tilt i'm here for the people i'm going to win the championship this year i hope you did i hope you did like disley just did a three sets of push-ups right after that no i went to bed early like uh that was the only way i was not eating my pain was just
You got to be unconscious. Yeah, I got to end today. All right. We're going to get into our quarterback streamers, but I want to know some names at the defensive position. Oh, you could. If they're there, I mean, they're very owned, but if somehow the Los Angeles Chargers were dropped because someone did not want to play them against the Los Angeles Rams, they get to play CJ Bethard and the San Francisco 49ers. That would be the top pickup of the week. I think Seattle is a target, too, because. Sure.
Whatever Josh Rosen can do, he can undo with a bad pick six. There's some good options this week. I agree that Seattle is worth a look. It is in Arizona, so maybe that's... I'm 100% fine with the Seahawks. I think the Seahawks are going to have a great game, but I would also throw out the Arizona Cardinals as well in this game. Similar to last week, I said the Cardinals and the Bears, both defenses in Arizona, are going to be...
fine. And they both were. Arizona has actually been fine on the defensive side of the ball for fantasy purposes. Mitchell Trubisky wasn't that great. And we know Russell Wilson gives up sacks. So at home, they'll get enough sacks. I think you could. The Cardinals defense has been disadvantaged because of the time of possession. Right. Because their offense has been so bad. And obviously they had the game against the Rams, which every defense looks bad against the Rams right now. Did you, did you see that stat about the third and out?
Yeah, like, so in the NFL, the top teams in terms of like lowest percentage of three and outs are at like 22%, 23%, 24%. So that means they only go three and out like a quarter of the time. The Rams are at 6%. Yeah, tear break. Can we trade for Sean McVey out here? I would love to do that.
That would be fantastic. But the last defense you've got to throw out, of course, despite Buffalo's big week, the Green Bay Packers at home against the Buffalo Bills, I am very confident going in on that. Buffalo, I heard the number. We talked about the defense is what won the game for Buffalo last week because the bill's average starting position was the opponent's 40-yard line. Wow. That's how you lose football games. That's a 40-yard field.
So I would not, I'm not shying away from playing the Green Bay Packers against the bills. I agree with you on that. The Packers will score. And they will put more on the shoulder of Josh Allen and more mistakes are going to be possible there. It's in Lambo. That's going to be intimidating. Agree completely. I want to fly through some names real quick before we get into full stream ahead. I just want to know if you think you can drop these guys. Are they stash? Are they trash? Okay. Amari Cooper. Trade. Yeah. I'm not dropping them.
but I'm definitely trading. I'm not dropping him either. Derek Henry? He's just, he's getting too much volume to drop. Yeah, you have to stash him. Corey Davis. Drop. I'd be willing. I'd be willing. I mean, all of these guys, if you can package trade them, do so. But Mario. I am a, I am a major stash for Cory Davis. He hasn't had Marcus Mario dais. Healthy. Yeah. And he still doesn't.
But week one he did, and he was very productive, high target count. So I would stash Cory Davis. I would trade Cory Davis to you. Well, I thought you said you were going to drop him, Jason. No, I'm willing. I'm going to sign him off the waiver wire. I'm willing. Jamal Williams. Oh. No, you've got to stash Jamal Williams. He's a trash for me. You'd drop him to the waivers? Yes, out of spike for your Corey Davis. He's either in a three running back timeshare or he loses.
Right. Or he's on the bench looking at a two-person time share with Aaron Jones and Montgomery. It is not a good situation for Jamal Williams, but we just went through the running back waivers. I'm willing to drop wide receivers to the waivers because I know I can always pick up a wide receiver from the waiver. But there's just no running. Would you rather roster Jordan Wilkins or Jamal Williams? Jamal Williams. Yeah, I think Jamal Williams. I don't really want any part of the Colts running game. Pierre Garsohn.
I want to say drop, but C.J. Bethard coming in. That's a Baxter situation. Drop. Okay. That's right off the bridge. When Betherd was in, when Betherd was in, the offense was just operated. You heard the 15 names that I prefer in the waiver wire segment today over Pierre Gerson? Yes. Not to mention you just brought up starting defenses against Betherd. I don't think this is an opportunity for Garson to break out. Dorek Cohen. You can drop him. Duke Johnson.
You can... Duke Johnson... I would hold on to Duke Johnson just to see what happens with Baker. Same with Cohen. These are... The situation is just what I describe. It's just impossible to drop a running back. If you drop a running back that has a snap percentage, you're probably making a mistake. All right. Let's go quick here. Jamieson Crowder. Drop. He's on by this week, too. So more reason to drop. Robbie Anderson, drop. Larry Fitzgerald. Yes, Larry Fitzgerald.
He's a holding. He's a holding Rosen for me. You can't drop him. You cannot drop that big of a name. You have to trade. You have to package trade. I mean, let's see what Rosen does. Yes. Yeah, you've got one week of Rose. If he has a good game at home this week, if Larry, then you can sell it that it's Rosen and trade him. Package trade him. Yeah. You know, Peyton Barber. Hold him. Hold. Rashad Penny. Baxter. Yeah, you can drop him.
Now, when you say back, sir, you mean punt him off a bridge? Yes. Just making sure. This is the biggest one. Chris Hogan. That one's really tough. Josh Gordon will play this week. Julian Edom will come back next week. Yeah. I'm going to hold. I'm still going to hold. I am. I think he's a trap. I think he's going to cut him. Seven receptions, seven receptions, three weeks. It's hard to disagree with you, but look at the entire Patriots offense.
They have been absolute garbage for fantasy. So you're like, okay, Josh Gordon's coming, Julian Edelman. Does that actually help Chris Hogan in the long run get more opportunities to score? That's why I'm just hesitant to drop him. I do not blame anyone who does it. Full stream ahead. All right, streaming quarterback candidates for week four. We're picking out guys that are.
Most likely available in your league that we think you can roll out there if you need a quarterback streamer. So let's start with Mike. Mike, who do you got? You brought him up earlier. I got Andy Dalton. Listen to this complete run of matchups upcoming for the Red Rifle, Atlanta, Miami, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Tampa Bay.
That is some glorious matchups when it comes to fantasy football and fantasy quarterbacks. He's had multi-touchdowns in every single game this year. And what's different to me for Andy Dalton, who was bad Andy last year, I mean, he was partially bad Andy this past weekend. I believe he had four interceptions but still came through with a decent fantasy game. He has two legitimate wide receiver options, which he has not.
for a while. It's been AJ Green and Brandon LaFelle with the emergence of Tyler Boyd. Tyler Eifert being healthy also changes things drastically. He's getting it done this year for fantasy football. So I like him. He's my number one quarterback pickup this week because of those upcoming matchups. You may have Andy Dalton in your lineup for the next month and a half. I'm going to go with Baker.
Mayfield. Bega mania. I was going to say, I'm not buying long-term hype with Baker, but I think this match. I am. This matchup with Oakland this week is a good one. Oakland just gave up 300 yards and three touchdowns to Ryan Tannehill, who was. Tanahill 300 yards? Yeah, because of the tap passes that went 70. Oh, yeah. They still count. And look, Tanna Hill was the streamer last week. I'm going to ride that matchup.
Well, 289. You round it up. I did. I expect at least one big play from Antonio Calloway. It's going to help Baker. And I think that there's going to be opportunity here. So I think Baker Mayfield, I think you can buy the hype for a week. I like the matchup. My stream of the week is a guy that. Monday night football. Monday night football. It's going to be a barn burner in primetime. Why?
because it's the Kansas City Chiefs. And obviously you can't stream Pat Mahomes, but you want a quarterback in that game. Well, if he's on your waiver, why? I would recommend. I'd recommend picking him up. Yeah, solid. That's a really good analysis, Mike. No, Case Keenum, a guy that I have.
Always professed my belief in him being a good quarterback. Had a rough week this last week, but we all knew. I mean, he's going on the road to Baltimore. This is a matchup in prime time, at home, where Kansas City is going to put up points because that's all they do. And Case Keenham's going to have to come back through the air. He's got the weapons to do it. Listen to this. Three games. We're three games into the season. Kansas City has given up...
1,127 passing yards through three games and eight touchdowns, eight passing touchdowns. So Case Keenham, that's an average of 375 yards a game and 2.6 touchdowns. So if Case Keenham comes out and throws 250 and 2, you're going to be pretty happy scooping him up off the waiver wire, but the ceiling is very, very high. I think that the only, my only worry about that game,
is if, because the strategy to beat Kansas City is to get the ball out of their offense's hands. Truth. So if Denver gets a defensive score, if they get an early lead, if there's something that happens, if I'm Denver, I am running the football and trying to zap that clock with time of possession. That's the only thing I'll say. That would be the trap for Keenham. I still think the more likely scenario right now is that Pat Mahomes.
