All right, the Titans coach, Mike Malarky, suggested Derek Henry's calf strain could cost him multiple weeks. We talked about the MRI happening yesterday, and, you know, that kind of changed quickly, right? We thought Henry up and coming, the toe injury to Murray. Now all of a sudden, Murray's got the backfield to himself again. And what? Antonio Andrews, handcuff. No. No? I don't think so.

Inside the episode
119 passagesYeah, I wouldn't make him a handcuff. I do agree that he is the backup. There you go. So, you know, if you bought Derek Henry after his big week, or if you're sitting with him on your bench now, you're in a tough situation. Because if you don't own DeMarco Murray, I don't know if you can hold on to Henry for what he's done this year. This is the time of year where you need those roster spots. You do. It's completely team dependent. There are certain teams where if I need to drop.
Derek Henry and he's going to miss the next few weeks and I need wins now, then you've got to do what you've got to do and he is okay to drop in those situations. However, there are other teams that, you know, my roster makeup might be kind of more locked into the playoffs and I might have a strong starting core and more bench opportunities. If he's out there, I'm going to pick him up. This is a completely team-dependent move because we're getting near the playoffs. Worth owning, worth dropping. Was posed a trade question.
from on Twitter, my very, very me, verified Twitter. Sure, sure. So this person has Doug Martin and Derek Henry. They were proposed a trade by the DeMarco Murray owner who has Jaquiz Rogers. Would you at this point trade Derek Henry for Jaquiz? Yep. You're talking both are injured. Jaquiz is still in a walking boot.
You would make the trade? Just get your handcuff. You think that has more value? Yes. I agree. I think now with Derek Henry's injury, neither one are going to be back next week. Probably. It is still early. If I do not own, this is just me. If I don't own DeMarco Murray.
I don't believe that Derek Henry should be owned unless you're in a dynasty or keeper league. I don't see any reason to roster him. Every other name we're going to mention today, I'd probably rather have on the roster than Derek Henry missing three or four weeks. Because you're going into week 10, right? So we're going into week 10. We know that Tennessee has that by week in week 13, I think it is. Henry probably doesn't see the field until week 14. And if he sees the field in week 14,
There are the Kenneth Dixon's and Paul Perkins and Capri Bibs of the world. And he's not going to be valuable in week 14 unless DeMarco Marie is out. Unless DeMarco Marcos out. Just reading there's a blurb that's talking about Charles Sims coming back. Dirk cutter expects him back. It's like at some point we're going to get Doug Martin back. We're getting Charles Sims back. We're getting Jockwiz Rogers back. It has just been rough for the Buccaneers. Incoming injury for Peyton Barber. Oh, man.
All right, let's talk about Capri Bibs. Capri Bibs. Capri Bants. You guys want, no? Oh, I thought pants. I'm an idiot. I was thinking bibs and you somehow turned a bib into pants. I'm like, that's not that's not common, but Capri's got it. Not yet. It's nuts. Capri Bibb pants. All right. It's very helpful. Capri Bibs could supplant Devante Booker as the Broncos lead back in week 10.
It's elevated to supplants? I buy in. I do. No way. Absolutely. No way. Can I? Okay. Okay. Here's why. The reason is, is that Capri Bibbs will start this week, and he will play New Orleans, and he will capitalize on the opportunity, and he will secure the spot. I see, and you can make that argument. I would make the other argument. I don't believe he gets the start.
I think he gets a little bit more work, but I think the start still goes to the starter, in which case, the same thing happens, right? Like, yes, Devante Booker has the same matchup. So what's to say, Devante Booker just doesn't get, you know, a fire lit under him, and he looks great. When it comes to the talent of those two individuals, I very much believe Devante Booker is more talented than Capri Bibbs. That is my...
view of it. I think Bibbs should be picked up. This is a good waiver edition. Look, Ingram's more talented than Hightower, but last week we were advocating High Tower because of the circumstances. Exactly. Both should be picked up. I think Capri Bibbs could be able to be played. He's not to me a must play unless something changes where we know for sure he is the starter, but I think Booker is still the guy to have there. All right. This is good news. No, it's not. Good, good news. No, no, no.
Peterson has admitted Darren Sproles is the leadback. What has he never done before? Admitted that the truth is the truth. Right. And so now what makes you think he's now telling the truth? That's it. Start Ryan Matthews. No, no, no, no. He was a rising star of the week yesterday for me, Darren Sproles, 80% of the snaps. Clearly, if you play this past week, get 80% and the coach comes out and says you are the lead back. Look.
This is a full-on... The pen is blue. No, you're also... No, I'm saying it's Darren Sproles, but just... You know we're in the business of giving good advice, right? We can't make a joke about...
No, I'm saying. Darren Sproles is the leadback. What I'm saying is the past few weeks of Doug Peterson, just bold-faced lying, saying that Ryan Matthews is the thing. Because he was still the token starter at the time. On the depth chart, he was the token starter. Yeah, Darren Sproles is the guy. He is the guy who's going to be on the field. He's going to be the guy touching the ball. And he faces Atlanta this week. That's a good matchup. There should be a lot of points scored in this game. Darren Sproles, I think.
is a very good, it's amazing that he can even still be a pickup. He's owned in 69% of leagues. That means in 30% of leagues. He's still available. He is a weekly start at this point. I believe Doug Peterson that he is the starter because he's been the starter. Spencer Ware remains in the least concussion protocol, so we don't know what's happening with him yet. It seems to have taken him a while to get through this. So we'll see if he's available this week. If not, it'll be Charcandric West.
Jeff Fisher admitted, oh, this was, this story just was unbelievable. He admitted Todd Gurley's not getting enough carries. Mind you, Gurley got 12 rushes in case Keenham had 46 passes this past week. You are the head coach, Jeff. This is within your power. This sounds like, the fantasy. This is Andy Reed situation. Remember when I was getting a bunch of flack for my rant on Jeff Fisher when they were three and one? Yes, you were. Hey, everybody. Where are you at?
If there's one rule in life, it's that everything returns to the mean. And if there's one rule for Jeff Fisher is that he definitely returns. He has a very low mean. Look, you're in control of this team. You're giving your best player 12 rushes and you're giving your worst player 46 passes. Your worst player? Yeah, I've decided. Oh. Todd Gurley, the headline here for fantasy owners is that Todd Gurley cannot be relied upon for premium fantasy football numbers in any way, shape, or form.
The report came out that the Rams are not planning to change quarterback as long as the postseason is a possibility. So in a couple weeks, maybe they'll make a change. Jets coach Todd Bulls said Ryan Fitzpatrick's knee. He has an MCL injury, he's day to day. Bryce Petty will be ready to go if Fitzpatrick can't go. Okay. You excited about that? Yes. If Bryce Petty is starting, even if he's not, the Rams are a great play this week.
You know, the interception prone Fitzpatrick or the backup Bryce Petty. Yes. Trevor Simeon will remain the starting quarterback. Alex Smith will return for week 10. And coach Andy Reid called Jeremy Macklin day to day. Could miss more time. Yeah. If he's off the field, does that change the way you feel about Tyreek Hill? No. Not much, no. Travis Kelsey. Yeah, a little bit more for Kelsey, a little bit more safety net there.
Somebody, you know, if Macklin's not there, you can't get the five for 41 numbers or whatever. Yeah, someone needs those 40 yards. They'll spread it around evenly, so everyone will go up one per ten. Travis Kelsey will, yeah, five yards. For those of you that started, Ty Montgomery, it's important to know he was on a rep count for the Sunday loss to the Colts. He looked good when he ran the ball. He did. Yeah, he was there running back. I mean, that's what he was. Before we move into the waivers, which we're going to do momentarily, we do want to thank today's sponsor. You know him. Pristina!

I was desperately searching for our waiver wire dropped while that entire thing was going on. So I found it. Yay. Put me in, coach. All right. I mean, I could have just gone with. That's the must pick. Joyick bell. Don't do it. All right. Waiverwires, week 10, the byweeks. Buffalo, Detroit, Indianapolis, Oakland.
So you'll be without your Derek Cars and your Andrew Lux and your Matt Staffords and your tie rod tailors this week. So we'll have our streaming quarterback segment very soon, get you some names that you can maybe lean on this week, get a win. Let's start, though, with the wide receiver position. A number of players here that are owned in less than 50% of leagues are right around that mark, whether you're an ESPN or Yahoo, players that we think are worth owning down the stretch.
Steve Smith. He's back, man. He's back on the field, 50% own. And he had an okay game. He was 4 for 47. I believe he caught a two-point conversion. Is that true? Yes. He's the guy I'd rather have than Mike Wallace, despite the big Wallace game. He has Cleveland on Thursday night. Oh. Yes, he does. He's a great pickup to me. And he's somebody that's proven, right? Some of these names.
that could be brought up that had big games like Eli Rogers. You know, he's been hit and miss. I think when Steve Smith's been active, he's been fine to start. You saw the first couple games when he was recovering from the injury, getting back into the groove of things. It took a few weeks before, and then he was performing at a very high level. I expect Steve Smith will be back at that level quite soon. Now, Mike, if you like Cole Beasley, you must like Jameson Crowder.
I do like James McRowder. Because James and Crowder now, for the fourth consecutive week was in double digits. For the third consecutive week, or second consecutive week, over 100 yards receiving, scored again against Cincinnati. This was back in week eight, right? So Jameson Crowder might have been forgotten about. Join your waiver wire because nobody signed him for week nine. Yeah, Jameson Crowder is a great pickup. Unfortunately, he's not one of those pickups that you're...
I don't think you're going to pick him up looking to start this week against Minnesota. That's, you know, the issue. But if you can hold on, if you need what, if your team is a team that, man, you really need help at wide receivers. The two guys that might be out there are Steve Smith and Jameson Crowder that going forward, I expect, will bolster your wide receivers in a very good way. I just don't love the matchup against Minnesota. Yeah, it's not the best, but.
I mean, who's on DJ? It's got to be Xavier Rhodes, right? Probably. I mean, James and Crowder is the safety. Yeah, Rhodes isn't going to slide into the slot all the time. So Crowder is. Yeah. Reed and Crowder, I expect them to have, they can have a decent game. Now, Mike, explain to me why Sammy Coates might be a good pickup here after his gooser. Well, the gooser was very, very much related to Big Ben recovering from his injury, played horrifying.
