when Velae, Olave, and Joanson are active, all healthy. I see no path for price without injury. I see no path for Trayvion without injury. I agree with two thirds of those. Now, the Trayvon almost had. Trayvion was almost there. I mean, last week we were supposed to have no Ramandre. It was time. He gets hurt and remandre is fine and scores double-digit fantasy points. The problem for prices, even with an injury, there isn't a path. He needs two injuries. No, I think if, I think if,

56:17 ↗

Well, like if Charbonnet was injured and they didn't have Emmanuel Wilson, if Emmanuel Wilson was hurt, Price would have a nice committee role. It would probably be RV 25. It would be like Walker. Yes, exactly. You could be Arby 25. But a path to dominance, zero path for Seahawks. Trayvion can dominate.

56:32 ↗

if he was back and there was no remandre but i bet you they'd use other guys too yeah mike and i still have belief that jordan tyson second half of the year could could play his way over valet they they spent the number eight pick on him this is not what is that what's the ceiling there just so i think the ceiling is like a weekly wide receiver 15 yeah top i'd say a weekly top valet has had the ability to do that so if you think he replaces them it makes sense but yeah those are those are wild yeah

56:59 ↗

Because you try to craft the narrative in your mind of what happens to make them great, and it's tough with all of them. When you're making that narrative, you always get to, can't cut that guy. Can't cut that guy. I want to answer this question, actually, because I wanted to talk about this guy. This is from the website. This is D in Canada. Not sure where, but we'll say bonjour. Anyways. Hey, guys love the pot. Stinky question for you. Jordan Mason is on my waiver wire, and Hampton seems to be a landmine for me. Should I drop Hampton and pick up Mason?

57:28 ↗

has he might be overlooked being on by this week who um so omarian hampton removed from the can't cut list by yahoo you are now allowed to drop i i didn't bring it up because i didn't know if you could handle i can handle it i bring this up more for the jordan mason side as opposed to the hampton side jordan mason like so the vikings are on

57:50 ↗

The Vikings are on by and this week. And Jordan Mason is eligible next week. Yeah, he'll be back in week seven. And it was his thumb. So it's like he could still be conditioning this whole entire time. I would rather have Mason. And that's where I, Jordan Mason is a sneaky guy to get on you. If he's on your waiver wire, I would be, yes, that's an instant out of all the waiver wire things we talked about this week of like, well, maybe Damien Pierce. If Jordan Mason were there, I'd be picking him up.

58:19 ↗

to stash because I think he comes in. At worst, it's back to a full-time share where I would give the edge for touchdowns to Jordan Mason. At best, Aaron Jones has been getting a lot of utilization as an old guy and could, like him breaking down before the end of the year seems the most likely outcome. One of these situations is an undefeated football team that leans on the running game. The other one is a disaster winless football team that has a guaranteed

58:48 ↗

unchangeable committee of pain that will not be I mean you're not seeing the best play on the in the running game last week was come on to Vidal Sassoon yeah so silky smooth silk it was he was on that Dahl is a Vidal can play I mean it's funny because you watch that and you're like I don't think the other two guys would have made that play I don't think so and it's depressing but like the pathway for Jordan Mason having a touchdown every week is right there yeah he's right in front of you he's not a pass catcher but he's going to get a lot of work there was also talk

59:17 ↗

um this week about the excitement of getting mason back and his involvement that they're going to lean on him uh he he's on a lot of my teams in the i are i completely think he needs to be picked up now dropping hampton that's versus you know your lowest ranked wide receiver i mean that there are there are there are plenty of running backs on my team that i still choose not to drop who are

59:41 ↗

Just straight backups. They're not even kidding. Woody Marks has been on a roster the whole entire year. I can't imagine dropping Omari and Hampton for Mason. That's not to say Mason isn't better. But if you had to, would you do it? Because Mike's point about it being the thumb and not being any of the, you know, it's not a leg injury. Yeah, no, I know. I won't talk. You make your call. I don't think I would. I don't think I would drop Hampton for Mason. But there's a lot of players I would drop for Mason. And I think you should pick up Mason.

60:10 ↗

So if you had Hampton and you saw Mason out there, you would keep Hampton. I would drop a wide receiver. No, that's not an option. There's got to be a different path. There has to be another path. The question is would. It's that binary. If you have Hampton on your team, would you drop him to pick up Mason and I would do that. Mike, you have to answer. I guess you did answer. I don't think I would. Okay. I don't think I would. I would.

60:34 ↗

Nice. I don't even know what that means. No one knows what it means, but it's provocative. It's a verbal hedge. Voice mail question coming in. Hey, Bowers, Mac from North Carolina here, and Parker Washington has personally been shopping me. I'm curious, rest of season, what group do you put him with? Love the show, guys. I feel like we answered it. Apparently, above Drake, London. Yeah, I mean, above. I don't think any, would you take neighbors and London ahead of Parker Washington? Yes. Yes.

61:01 ↗

It's so funny. But he's in there with Ted McMillan. It's so funny, guys. So we have our rest of season rankings that we, you know, we work on every week. We have a show doc that has information. I was working in our show doc for this draft that I didn't pull up my rest of season rankings. I love my rest of season. I'm like, oh, I should have gone by this, which had Drake London, then Chris Oliva, then neighbors, then Parker Washington, who is at 10. But I see him as a wide receiver one rest of season.

61:28 ↗

A website question from Nolan in Aberdeen, Washington. Hey, Bellers, who do I flex this week? Jeremy Bernard against the Tampa Bay defense or Roma Dunseh against Atlanta in Atlanta. My gut is telling me Bernard, we'd like to hear your thoughts, love the show. It sounds like Caleb Williams is going to be back. Full participant today, there was some really encouraging news. So with that,

61:54 ↗

I would lean the Roma Dunesay side in hopes that you get the Bears great offense. I would too. Yeah, I would. Jeremy Bernard, very exciting rookie. He's on watch right now. Yeah. So like the next question, though. This one I think is harder. So from Chris, would you start Jeremy Bernard or a Mecca Ibuka? Well, Emeka Abuka has a quarterback upgrade, right? Because he got a touchdown last week.

62:15 ↗

No, I just, I just kidding, Baker. Okay. All right. It's just so ironic that it's best game in like a year comes when Baker's not there. Well, it's funny because without that touchdown, which, by the way, it was not a pass. So if you want to say the court, I mean, that was an end around. Other than that, nine targets turned into 38 yards for a Bucca. I have no problem if you go Jeremy. I'd probably go. I'd probably go a Bucca, but I have, like I said, I have no problem if you want to give it a shot.

62:42 ↗

with Roman Wilson and Pittman out. I don't think you're going to get double touchdown Friarmouth again. Jeremy could have nine targets easily, and they might be better. I don't mind it. And Aaron Rogers is playing great, Mike. Did you know that? He's playing great. I think he's playing good. I picked up Aaron Rogers and a list to play him. Wait, what? That is a about face right there. Hold on. That is an about face. Where's my button? Yeah, find it. What did he say? What? Well, I had, I had two quarterbacks on by and there's,

63:12 ↗

there were very few quarterbacks out there. Yeah, what was some of their names? Cam Ward? I mean, I could go look. Way to throw out the lowest one. No, the only other one. And say that again the same way. Cam Ward? Yeah, disgusting. Rogers is, he's playing good football. Yeah, I'm just so curious. Okay, how about Jason? Last year, you would not have had a waiver or pick up from the Steelers at wide receiver be the number one on your list. Nor would you be playing Aaron Rogers? Yeah, I mean, I was close between, um,

63:41 ↗

Michael Pennix, but the injury, Pennix against Chicago, I think, would be good if he's playing. The news I saw was that he's supposed to practice. And then it was Daniel Jones, Deshawn Watson. And so, you know, the Aaron Rogers against Tampa Bay. That's the category's in. I mean, I'm not, I don't hate Aaron Jones or Aaron Rogers. I don't have Aaron Jones. I just think the numbers we have seen in the last few weeks are probably not going to continue.

64:09 ↗

Well, I don't think any of us disagree with that. I don't think he's throwing what's three times 17. What is that? Touchdown wise. Yeah, that was almost 60. Fifty one touchdowns or something. All right. Tomorrow we've got starts of the week. Matchup previews Thursday night recap as well. And we'll get into the matchups and the Wheel of Shame on Friday. Good luck. Putting the pieces together. Hopefully your waiver wire went well. You can set your line up for Thursday night. Make sure those guys.

64:38 ↗
