Put me in, coach. All right. Let's talk waivers. Okay. People putting in their bids. People getting ready to make a decision on their waiver priority. And let's start at the wide receiver position. Let's talk about some players that are probably owned, but maybe not. Maybe not in your league. These guys are all in the 49 to 65% ownership range. So there are still a number of leagues in which they're available. And we're talking about.

players like, and all of these have had multiple, pretty solid weeks. Tyler Lockett, 5 for 16 in a touchdown this week. Quincy and Noon. 7 for 92 again seems to be the safety valve for Sam Darnel. 11 targets. Yeah. Keel and Cole 50% owned. 7 for 116 and a touchdown. I talked to somebody yesterday picked up Keel and Cole this week.

Kenny Gallaudet. Yeah. Six for 89 and a touchdown. So smooth. And you know what? I'm starting to buy it on Kenny Gallaudet. You want to know why? It's not because I don't like Marvin Jones or Golden Tate. It's because I think their defense stinks.

And I think Matthew Stafford is going to be catching up all year long. I'll scoot over on the bench. And their running back stink. I'm sliding right over for you, Andy. There's a spot. I know. You've been all in. And then Mike Williams to Sean Jackson. To continue speaking on Kenny Galladay, I think we worried about where are the targets. Oh, Kenny G. So, Kenny G. So smooth. Just looking so fast.

Adult contemporary star. Kenny Goladay, we were worried about where are these targets, you know, going to come from. If Marvin Jones is doing what Marvin Jones does, and he still is. And Golden Tate.

is what Golden Tate's always been, and he still is. How could Kenny Gallaudet be a thing? Andy, you bring up the defense. But I think in addition to that, it is the absence of Eric Ebron. Luke Wilson has not... Wilson, no, he has none, nothing. He has not taken over that role. It's Kenny Goladay, who's really taken over that role, and I think you're going to be able to play...

All three of these guys. Will you have disappointing weeks from all three of them over the course of the season? Absolutely. But I feel like the majority of time, you're going to be okay. And the way that Matthew Stafford was looking to Ghaladay, you know, it wasn't like he was always the third read. He was often the first or second read if you look at the nine targets he received last week. So I agree. But of all the players, the Andy mentioned already, Tyler Lockett, Quincy, and Nunewa, Keel and Cole, Kenny Galladay, Mike Williams, Deshawn Jackson.

If you had to pick one out of that group, who are you? Quincy. Targeting. Quincy, Gallaudet, Cole is how I would rank them. My top three. Oh, I would rank them Keel and Cole, Quincy, and New York, Kinney Gallaudet. That's exactly how I would do. Keel and Cole has the highest upside to me. Quincy is the safest. Are there any gaps between them where you're saying you'd rather pay up for one as opposed to trying to get a bargain on the best that you, let's say they're all on your waiver wire.

Would you just put in a $5 bid on all three of them? I'd put in less on Goladay. I would put in a $5 bid on Cole and on Enunwa. That's based on the fact that an Nunewa and Cole represent the number one target in their offense, whereas Gawaday is still the third option? Is he? Yeah. Is it? Is it some games? Is it one A, B, and C there? Yes. Is that what it is? I will accept that. I will not accept Kenny Gulladay is the third option. He's not. Look, seven receptions in his first game, six in his second game.

It's hard to argue with Mike thus far. It's just a matter of you haven't seen a season of it. He is a six-four. He's a monster. Monster of a man with such smooth rounds. It's been impressive. Yeah. You know, is there any credence to the fact that Coach Gimley has always been a slow defensive starter where the defense doesn't start hot but does figure it out and gets better? No. So, I mean, the first two weeks.

They've just been immediately, immediately in the game, just boat raced. Right. And now you're just slinging the rock. They got New England next week. How do you feel about that? Sign me up. And Dubai acts. They got New England and then Dallas in Dallas and then Green Bay. Okay. Can you go? Yeah. He's going to be nice. He's going to be nice. He's going to be nice O and five.

No, maybe not. We'll see. A $5 bet on all three of those players. Here are some main waiver wire pickups. These guys are not owned in many leagues. These are the ones I want to talk about. John Brown had another great week. He seems to be, and I think it's going to be more and more this way. Maybe the wide receiver of choice for Joe Flacco, four for 92 in a touchdown. But the 10 targets is what I'm talking about. I like it. And they're deep. Yeah, and he just makes plays. When John Brown's been healthy in his career, he makes plays. That's just.

What happens? The problem is he has the sickle cell and deals with injury. But if he's on the field, do you like him more than Michael Crabtory? I do. I mean, if they're both basically getting the same target volume, I'm going to take the guy that gets the deeper targets if he's getting the same volume. Agreed. Brandon Marshall last night, four for 44 on six targets. The way the game started, I was thinking, wow, he's really more of the beneficiary of no Doug Baldwin than Tyler Lockett was.

By the end of the game, Locking had the touchdown, do you care at all about Brandon Marshall right now? I'm okay caring and being interested. He's 50% owned. But this list of wide receivers is so vast right now. He's not anywhere close to the top five. I, what do you think, Jay? You agree? No, I do agree. I think that Brandon Marshall, he's not a speedster, right? And so when you... The slowster. When the offensive line...

is in Russell Wilson's face in 0.1 seconds. Brandon Marshall's route is not complete. And so I think that's going to make it really hard for him. How bad was that throw to the outside, the one that Amukamara picked off and took back to the house? That was not wise. That was a man who was tired of being sacked. That's what I thought on the same play, because you don't usually see Wilson making a throw like that. And Brad, bad Brandon Marshall on that play. Yeah. There wasn't a whole lot of weight.

Was that Brandon Marshall or a penny? I'm pretty darn sure that was Marshall on the outside. Oh, no, I thought that was Penny. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's Penny. Oh. It was, it was Russell Wilson looked at him, said they were like making plans. This is how deep the eye contact was on that particular route. Right, right. This game's done. I think you're right. It was Penny. And then he said, I'm going to throw it to you. And Penny said, you probably shouldn't do that because you've been staring at me for 10 seconds and the defense knows you're going to throw it to me.

Geronimo Allison, Chris Godwin, Tyler Boyd, Antonio Calloway, Ted Ginn, DJ Moore. These guys had big weeks. Do you have a favorite at the wide receiver position? Yes. Who are you taking? Maybe give me your favorite and then give me your lottery ticket. So my favorite is Chris Godwin. Chris Godwin, I've been saying, you know, for the last couple weeks, his talent is so strong that I'm willing to take the shot. This coming week. Strong talent. It's the Steelers.

And we've seen nothing but shootouts for Pittsburgh so far. I think that Chris Godwin's going to keep it going. Week one wasn't really a shootout. It was a shootout considering the weather conditions and the rain. The point was the defense. It was not, you know, the defense was the weather.

That was the best defense on the field. And so I think that Chris Godwin's going to keep it going with Dijack stretching the field and Mike Evans as the number one. I mean, you just throw it to Godwin. He's never going to be double covered. And he grabs those. But what if Winston is back next week? We've talked about James Winston. He favors the tight end more than most quarterbacks. But it comes to wide receivers. And this is more of a strategy fantasy football.

thing. I'm not usually looking long term because I'm fine next week dropping Chris Godwin. Yes, exactly. Pittsburgh. I'll play Chris Godwin. You know, like I really like Tyler Boyd. He's available in every league. He's clearly the number two. John Ross is not the number two. But, you know, going to Carolina?

No thanks. Oh, I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. I would. Godwin or Gallaudet? Both are the number three. By a wide stretch. I would rather have Geronimo over Chris Godwin because I'm trying to find a longer term solution. If I need a player for this week, it might be Chris Godwin. But of this list we've talked about, I would order them Geronimo. And it's close between Boyd and Calloway to see what.

to stash them and see what we've got. And if you're listening and you're not familiar, Geronimo Allison, wide receiver for the Packers. Chris Godwin is the wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And Tyler Boyd, a lot of people might be going. Who's Boyd? That's the Cincinnati Bengals. Antonio Calloway, the replacement in Cleveland for Josh Gordon. I just so worry about the target. I get it. I'm not picking him up to play him immediately. Just keeping an eye on it. But he's on the field. If that offense gets anything going at all, if...

That's what I did with Ghaladay last week. I picked him up last week to see. That's what you're doing. You're investigating right now. It's two weeks. Yeah, you're a gumshoot. You're trying to see what's going on. Because in two weeks, if Baker Mayfield comes in two weeks, he was BFFs with Callow this preseason. No, that's a strong point. And it's looking more likely the more L's on the board. Running backs, let's talk about the NFL's leading rusher.

Is that true? This last week? No. What? No. Through two weeks. I'm fairly certain. What? I'm fairly certain I'm right about this. Hold on a minute. Let me just, let's just do a vetting. Give him the name. Well, I'll look it up. Matt Brita. Matt Brita. I believe Matt Brita is the NFL's leading rusher. He is. The top, here's the top three rushers in the NFL. Well, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Yeah. If you're eating.

You need to swallow your food. Don't take another bite because you got to give the top. Sit down. Give the top five. Number one. Matt Breda. San Francisco 49ers. Number two. Joe Mixing, Cincinnati Bengals. Number three, Philip Lindsay. Undrafted rookie. Denver Broncos. Number four. Lamar Miller. And number five, James Connor.

Yes. Just how y'all thought it was going to be. If you told me, let me just, let's just tease this out some more. Through two weeks, give me the prop bet on the leading passer being Ryan Fitzpatrick, the leading rusher being Matt Breda, and the leading receiver being Deshawn Jackson. Oh, you're saying like if you had parlayed that?

You would own the United States of America. I mean. Because they would owe you the entire Fort Knox Reserve. Yes, that is, that's where we're at. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome in. Look, Matt Breed is 62% on, but people want to know more than whether or not you signed Matt Breed. Obviously, you do. Last week, 11 for 138 in a touchdown. I think we'd all start him over Alfred Morris right now. Yes. Yeah. But the people, I think people want to know, like, is he a must start guy? He places Kansas City this week.

How confident are you with Matt Brita as an RB2, for instance? Yeah, I'm confident with Matt Brita as an RB2. The most important part of the game, because he had one really long run that is patting the 138 yards. It's the four targets. You know, look, I know that Matt Brita did not, he's not.
