Week 3 Waivers & QB Streamers, Josh Gordon Traded!

$44. $44? No, no, no, just real life money? Cash. Or you, would you, would you be willing to go in on a kiddle to get him to shut up? You guys split it $22 a piece? Yeah. Yeah, I think I have to do that. Deal! We're in front of a man of the law. He heard it. $44 coming to me. Where he can enforce like financial things because he's a judge? That is what I think they could do. Yeah, they have lots of power. Yeah, that makes sense. All right, let's talk quarterbacks. Full stream ahead.

We mentioned it at the beginning of the show in the news, but in the waivers, just a reminder. You should probably pick up Dan Bailey. Yeah. Just a reminder. Probably. Makes sense. I'm not spending money on him. Oh, yeah, you just throw a couple bucks. But, I mean, there are some players out there like me. We got Zerloin with no groin. Oh, that's... And I need Dan Bailey. I need you, buddy. All right. Who's your quarterback stream of the week? There are...

There are a few options out there that could be interesting, Jason. Yeah, for me, I'm definitely sticking with the man of a snake. I got a snake, man. Blake the snake, Bortles. He runs the ball. He's looked great. He throws the ball. Here's the thing.

that you have to keep in mind. Blake Bortles gets a lot of grief for being bad, and I get it. But for fantasy, he's never really been a bad quarterback after his rookie season. I mean, the last three years, he's averaged the quarterback eight.

His worst finish was last year as the quarterback 13, and that was basically because the first half of last year was all Leonard Fournett. They didn't use Bortles at all. Second half of last year, wasn't they like the second or third best quarterback in fantasy? Through the final about 25% of the season. Yeah, I mean, so I'm not saying he's going to have monster games the way he did this week every week by any means. No way. And I wouldn't expect it, anything like that against Tennessee. He plays against Tennessee.

who has given up multi-touchdown games to the quarterback both weeks. They're going to do it again to Blake Bortles. He's at home. You still don't know the full health of Leonard Fournett. Corey Grant offers him yardage out of the backfield.

The thing about Bortles that has made him successful and maybe the reason they decided not to bring back Alan Robinson is he functions best when he takes what the defense gives him and he has other weapons. You have ASJ and Moncrief and Cole and Dedy. You have his ability to spread the ball around without having, you know, you remember Alan Robinson, every overthrow, every time he didn't get a target, he was throwing a fit. Yeah, and look at this. Here's his schedule. You pick him up to stream him this week.

And you might be surprised how long you hang on to Blake the Snake because he goes Tennessee at home, the Jets at home, then Kansas City, Dallas. I mean, you could have the next month as a great streaming option. Maybe you spend to grab them, five bucks? Yeah, I mean, you spend a couple bucks. I don't think people are rushing. You know your league. If you're in one of those reactionary leagues where Blake Bortles puts up 46.1 fantasy points and everybody goes after them because they're just chasing points. Or they say Blake stinks. I don't want it on it.

Yeah, but I'd grab him. All right, I'm going to jump in here. We play by the NBA Jam Rules. Okay. On this show. He's heating up. And he is absolutely heating up. I believe the best stretch to start the first two games of the NFL season for a fantasy quarterback in history. Talking about the NFL passing leader? I am Ryan Fitzpatrick, the magical beard.

It's been incredible. Stay in the flames. It has absolutely been an incredible, exciting start to the season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And now he gets to play Pittsburgh. So I am standing in that fire. He's at home too, right? Yes. And no one, the Pittsburgh Steelers, no defense is seeing quarterbacks go deep more frequently. That's what Ryan Fitzpatrick has been all about. He's got the weapons to sustain him as well. One more, this might be the last rodeo.

for Ryan Fitzpatrick while James Winston's finishing up his suspension. So he's going to, he's got to give everything he's got. He's trying to earn everything he got. He's trying to earn that starting spot. And I'm still going with it. I understand this is a fool me once, fool me twice thing with Ryan Fitzpatrick. We saw, though, I'm going for it. We have seen a full season where he was a good fantasy quarterback. We have Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. So this wide receiver core of,

I mean, yeah, look, are you starting Mike Evans? Yes. Are you starting Chris Godwin? Yes. Are you starting to Sean Jackson? Yes. Are you thinking about O.J. Howard? Absolutely. Okay. She'll probably play his quarterback. Can Peyton Barber run at all? No. So I'd play Ryan Fitzpatrick, too. 23% owned right now. Pick them up. I'm shocked that it's that high. Me too. Now, I'm going to go a little deeper, but I'm going to stay in Florida, and I'm going to stay with a quarterback with the first name of Ryan.

And I'm going to go with Ryan Tannahill against Oakland. 6% own. This is your deeper league play. I much prefer Bortles or Fitzpatrick over Ryan Tannahill. I like the Tanyhill call. But he's been fine. He's been totally fine. You always have the opportunity for a Kenny Stills game-breaking play. Just missed on one last week. That would have put him in a 30-point week. He still had 22 fantasy points in our league of record.

I think Tanna Hill is somebody that you can sneak out there if you're in a deeper league. If you're in a league where people are rostering two quarterbacks and you don't know who to play or who to sign, look, he's going to be available. So if Fitzpatrick and Bortles are gone and you have to stream somebody, he's available.

Here's what I love about Ryan Tanahill. When I was statting him out for the season and the draft rankings, the first go-round, the very first, you know, we just finished all 32 teams and I look at my rankings and see who's where. Ryan Tanahill shocked me. He was like my quarterback 15. I was like, oh, that's just this is, I've made a mistake. Something is wrong, but.

What happened when I looked deeper was I was giving him his rushing yardage that he's used to, and I backed off of that number because of the knee injury. If he is a rushing quarterback, he's going to be really valuable. Last week, 44 yards, 8 carries on the ground. He's not afraid of the knee that is very telling. So, yeah, if you're in a deeper league and these other options aren't there, I think Ryan Tana Hill could have a good game. I ain't mad at you.

All right, those are our streaming quarterbacks this week. Mike Tomlin, more news. He did confirm that Antonio Brown was not present at practice on Monday. He refused to say whether it was an excused absence. It did not sound like it was. He refused to say. Yeah, he's hoping to meet with Brown on Tuesday to discuss the situation.

I mean, we all expect Brown to be fine and playing, but it's very interesting what's happening in Pittsburgh right now. Bad vibes. They could go 0 and 3. Well, no, they really can't. They would still be 0.2. Oh, that's right. Oh, 2 and 1. It's a loss. It's a loss. It's half a loss. The Browns should get a tie, but the Steelers should get a loss. And honestly, that's, you know, if you're on those teams, the Browns probably feel like they've got to win with that tie. I know Hugh Jackson did.
