I would rather have the Quincy Neumont role, which is now Jermaine Curses. All right. And then we talked to about Marquis Goodwin. Would you sign Curse or Goodwin? Now, I'm cursed firmly in the curse category because I want those targets. Yeah, I lean Germain Curse as well. But next week. It's tough, man. So they play the Los Angeles Rams, they being the San Francisco 49ers and Marquise Goodwin. And if you've seen what Marcus Peters has been doing.

124 passagesfor his opponent's wide receiver. Yeah, not doing for his team. He's just been real kind and giving them touchdowns and yards and all sorts of stuff. Philithropic. Goodwin is a, yes. Goodwin is a man of the year. For what he did on the field, he gets the man of the year award for donating touchdowns. Man of the year. Yeah, so I think I would lean Goodwin there because I generally for wide receivers.
I'm looking at a week. I'm not looking at who do I want. I'd still rather play curse against Minnesota. Maybe. Good ones, you know, half-owned. So he's going to be a little bit harder to pick up anyways. Curse promise he's available. Yeah, that's fair. One of the guys that I was looking at this past week, I didn't like a couple wide receiver matchups, and he's in our list today in the waiver wire pickups, is Christian Kirk, Cardinals wide receiver.
I thought about streaming him last week. He was in the same category in my mind as Chester Rogers was in Indianapolis. Cardinals wideout rookie Christian Kirk last week, six for 77 on seven targets. What I like about Kirk is a few things. One, he has the best rapport with Rosen of any wide receiver on the team, including Larry Fitzgerald. He's just spent more time with him. He's the future of the Cardinal franchise with Rosen. The other part I really like is unlike Larry, current Larry,
Kirk has a game-breaking ability. He can take a slant route to the house. He can get over the top of the defense. And so because you mix and match favorite target with that, look, they're Thursday night. Oh, and the game of the year. But there are. Game of the year. Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos, enjoy your prime time Thursday night football. Didn't you say that, congrats America, you got your Thursday back? Yeah, you can.
Nothing to watch here. There are a number of, I mean, you know, if you have a Tyler Lockett or Juju or Antonio Brown, these are guys on by this week. Doug Baldwin, there's a significant amount of players on by. You may need to stream a whiteout. I don't think you, I think Christian Kirk is in that category. Denver's defense has been bad. The past four weeks, Christian Kirk is averaging. Yeah. Six and a half targets.
five receptions and 70 yards for four weeks. I mean, he's he is absolutely getting it done. Yeah, there's a couple other guys that I look at at wide receiver that I'm still excited about that if I've got those buys, I'd like to pick up. The two that stand out to me are Taylor Gabriel and Godwin. I think that both Taylor Gabriel has been interesting. His.
His target count, his utilization, his snap percentage, everything across the board shows that the opportunity is there for him. And he doesn't look like he's lost a ton of his speed. You know, the last two weeks. Why would he have lost his speed? Well, I'm just age. Age. What do you mean? He's 27. Yeah. He's a youngster. Well, I mean, look. Nobody's doubting his speed. Two years ago. Two years ago. Two years ago.
Taylor Gabriel was the new hotness, and then all of a sudden he had a down year last year. He goes and signs with Chicago, and nobody wants. Everyone had a down year. Nobody wants Taylor Gabriel, but he's over 100 yards, two weeks in a row. The last two weeks, what, 120, 224 yards and two touchdowns. And he's playing against New England, who takes out the number one option usually on the defense. That's not Taylor Gabriel. Right. That'll be Alan Robinson. So he's interesting to me.
Tyreek Hill. That speed killed New England on Sunday night. Yeah. Otherwise, what are some other names that stick out? There are a lot, I mean, a lot of buy weeks. Don't the Adams is on by this week as well. So is there somebody else who want to bring up? I mean, Cortland Sutton's been getting targeted regularly. Yeah. But that's a Thursday night game, but Arizona's defense might be focused. You know, Patrick Peterson more focused on the bigger names there. Could Sutton have a big game on Thursday?
Yeah, Sutton could. I mean, he's got the talent to do it. I tell you who I'm not picking up. Antonio Calloway, you're dead to me. Next year. Next year, come back strong. Maybe. I'm still intrigued. I mean, 10 targets. He was being shadowed by Casey Hayward. Even Jarvis Landry had a horrific game. And the matchup, the matchups are so juicy for Callaway, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Kansas City. The next three weeks.
I know we've been talking about it and it hasn't happened, but how about Andy's... And they have no one left at the wide receiver position. I mean, they're just getting banged up. It's Jarvis and Antonio Calloway. Speaking of... Stop it. Antonio Callow. He can't catch the ball. Albert Wilson, Tyree Kill Light. He's had a couple big games. What if Brock Osweiler is the quarterback this next week? It's not a bad matchup against Detroit. Do you...
I didn't think we'd ever have a conversation. You're bending the what if Brock Oswald is the quarterback in the direction of a positive for somebody. Yes. You're the one that needs to answer this. We talked a lot about Albert Wilson on the show yesterday and whether we bought into, you know, the potential there. I don't know. I mean, they played Detroit.
I think you're kind of coin flipping with him. He needs a big play. Yes, he needs a big play and you're chasing points here to some degree. He's just been so fast this year. I mean, if you look at. He's been so fast. You may say he has not lost his speed, Jason. Yes, I agree with that. 22 years old. 26 year old Albert Wilson. Oh, my God. Still fast. But.
I mean, this season, the way that the NFL is opening things up, spreading the ball around, throwing it deep. You see huge fantasy performances more, I feel like, this year than in the past from just the speedster guys. And so I'm, you know, there's a little deeper. I would rather play Taylor Gabriel over Albert Wilson because I believe far more in the target volume and the quarterback than I do over Brock Osweiler. But I still think.
On, you know, on this week where you've got all these buys, Albert Wilson, is at least someone you should sniff. What about the name? By the way, he's the, other than Tyreek Hill, he's got the fastest play on the season. Tyreekill has the two fastest plays on the season. At the end of the season, he'll have the five fastest plays of the year. Atlanta, wide receiver, Justin Hardy. I only bring his name up because Muhammad Sanoo left the game with an injury. Calvin Ridley left the game with an injury. He had the MRI things came back clean, but.
We'll see. He might miss some time. Yeah, I mean, it's a no for me. Okay. And that's because it's a Monday night football game. And so unless we have definitive news, because right now, the head coach Dan Quinn is confident that both guys will be active on Monday night. I miss that news. And because of that confidence and because your waiver wires tomorrow, I don't think Hardy's going to get picked up anyway, so maybe you can pick him up later in the week. I think it's a good name to bring up because if you get on Thursday, Friday, you hear both guys are out. Then he's a great play against the Giants.
Yeah, he's an okay play. I still be Hooper and Julio and Kevin Coleman and other guys. But he's interesting for sure. You still run the writs. When you pick up a guy like that, you run the risk of what happened to Sterling Shepard this past week. Where it's like they always look like a good start, but they're still the third or fourth past catching option on the team. You still run a risk. But Atlanta is, we'll get to Josh Reynolds. But my point for Hardy is.
Atlanta's playing a lot better on offense than the Giants are. Josh Reynolds? Andy's not interested in Josh Reynolds. I am intrigued by Josh Reynolds. I'm with you, Mike. With Cooper Cup. He's going to miss a couple weeks with the MCL injury. San Francisco has the matchup. No. No. Alert. No. I would flex Gerald Everett over Josh Reynolds if I had to play one of the two easily.
Two targets in the second half of the game. No. Don't do it. I want a Josh Reynolds water bet with Everett. Reynolds versus Everett. That's interesting. Only if Cup is out. I mean, for this bet. Sure. Yeah. Obviously. Yeah. We'll see. San Francisco Green Bay. I don't generally water bet on like who catches one pass.
Like, which guy catches one pass? No, no, I get it. No, I get it. No, totally. Makes sense. Let's talk about some running. You did, you did do some Kelvin Benjamin water bets. Let's look at the running. How you catches one pass? Let's look. All right. Running backs. You're trying to Marty McFly. Yeah, I'm trying to. It's not Cooper Clock here. Come on. Oh, okay. Let's stop it. Stop.
The running backs. Let's talk about them. Probably owned, but worth peeking at would be the two from Philly. We talked about them last week. Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood. I think Clement's going to be the one with the upper trajectory here. Smallwood's still involved, still startable. They play Carolina at home this next week. Any thoughts on those two guys other than what I just said? It's New England light. You can start both guys every week. And, you know,
Corey Clement will be the Sony Michelle role, and Wittles Smallwood will be more of the James White role. Neither one anywhere near as good, but yeah, and probably owned. Marlon Mack, are you interested? 12 for 89 last week, certainly the guy faces Buffalo this week. Buffalo's been, they've been pretty good the last few weeks on defense, but still, a guy that had a week like that who seems to be the main backfield player, had two targets. Marlon Mack's been your guy for a long time, Jason.
Yeah, no, I'm absolutely interested in Marlon Mac. I said before the season, I was in on Mac prior to the injury because when I went back and I watched every snap that I could find of Marlon Mack of Naim Hines and Jordan Wilkins and Robert Turbin and all those guys, I came away saying the clear best running back is Marlon Mac. I know it wasn't unanimous here, but that was my take.
He got injured. He's been off the field. But as soon as he got back, he looked great. This is an offense that's moving the ball with Andrew Luck. I would absolutely pick him up, take a shot at having the starting running back in a valuable offense. Yeah, he's worth the pick up to me, gets to take on Buffalo and Oakland. Marlon Mack is not game script proof. He was vastly outsnapped by Naheem Hines. Now, Marlon Mack had the production. I understand that.
But he played about 35% of the snaps. Having said that, the game strip should be better for the Colts against Buffalo against Oakland for the next two weeks. But the Colts defense is so rough. I don't know if I wouldn't consider Marlon Mack a real long-term solution. Yeah. But he's very capable for the next two weeks for a by week. I'm still not convinced that the snap count was not partly.
due to the fact that he's getting back from being injured the whole season. You know, I never thought that they were going to just bring him back in and be like, okay, 60% snaps, get on the field, you're the guy. Yeah, I look at that situation. Like, I don't know if I buy into the sentiment that it's a good offense. I don't think it's a good offense. And, you know, you can look at the tape and watch all those guys. I look at that like, okay, I'm going to serve you the best.
green beans anybody's ever made, but I don't like green beans. So you can make it look as nice as you want. A lot of people like green beans, but I don't. You need to have my spicy green beans that I make with the red pep flakes. Do you take the green beans out? Yeah, you make it taste not like green beans. Oh, it's so good. Mike, do you like green beans? Oh, no. No, they're bad. I love green beans. Look, you can make something that's bad and give me the best version of it, but I still don't want to touch it.
That's fair. And that's Marlon Mack, the Green Beans. So who would you be making your play after then? Marlon Max. At the running back position? At the running back position, you need to start this week. Look, unfortunately, I think you can start. If you have to, you can start the Eternal One. Oh, he is infinite. He is all. He is Frank. Look, Frank Gore, you could start him. You need to keep your eye on Deontah Foreman.
Not because he's active or going to be active this week, but because Deonti Foreman has the ability to potentially be the guy, I would say, four weeks from now. I don't think there's any chance he's the guy before that, because coming off the Achilles injury, you're not going to give a guy like that a full workload right out of the gate, but he's somebody I'm paying attention to. And then Latavius Murray, if he's out there, because even though it's Arizona.
