Week 4 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Don’t Tilt! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/29

shot in the dark. James Washington could be interesting, but both of those players could be subject to not playing this week if the Tennessee Pittsburgh game doesn't happen. So keep that in mind. By the way, Marvin Jones took advantage of no Kenny Gallaudet or limited Kenny Gallaudet to a best performance of wide receiver 36 over the first three weeks. So it hasn't been great. He needs Kenny Galladay there. Greg Ward, Corey Davis, Corey Davis mostly rostered.

But Greg Ward isn't. And last week, 11 targets 8 for 72 in a touchdown. He plays San Francisco, but there's no Dijacks most likely this week. There's no Goddard this week. Greg Ward sits there as. Is Carson Went still throwing him the ball? 11 targets, 8 for 72 in a touchdown. Greg Ward came through with a big game, but on the road, San Francisco, on the road, Pittsburgh, Baltimore. No, thank you? Yeah, I'm the, ugh. Would you rather add Scotty Miller with God went out? Yes.

Yes. Scotty Miller is pretty interesting. Chargers Chicago Green Bay, but... The whole Buccaneer situation is interesting because Scotty Miller did not come through week two. He could have had a touchdown, he dropped it, and then he would have been fine for fantasy purposes. But what is interesting about it is Justin Watson was the one... Superstar. Yes, Jason's favorite fringe player of all time, Justin Watson. He's the one who came in and took over the Godwin role.

He's the one who played in the slot. He got all those targets. Justin Watson is currently hurt. Like, just Tyler Johnson, who's the rookie Tyler Johnson for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I believe it was a fifth round pick. Does he, he got on the field a little bit, about 30% so of the snaps. Is he the one who actually comes in and is the slot player? Scotty Miller is the one who is the safest of these three players. But it's a bit of a game of musical chairs, if you will. But.

I don't think we're going to start. Yeah, I agree with you. Someone is going to come through. And those names could very well be the players that come through. I just don't think we're going to recommend picking up and playing them in your redraft leagues. If you want, you know, a pivot in a DFS lineup that's not going to have a lot of people on it. That's maybe a way to go. But I'm going Scotty Miller or nothing here. And just my last piece I'll throw out on this is they take on the chargers.

Chris Harris, I don't recall the status of his injury, but he went down and he had to get helped off the field. If you have a new slot-wide receiver... He's out. And Chris Harris is not covering that player. You have a backup now covering the slot-wide receiver who Tom Brady's throwing the ball at. That is very interesting to me. All right. Chris Harris Jr. to miss up to six weeks. He's out. We were going to see Godwin and Chris Harris, and we're going to see neither of them. All right.

Braxton Berrios has been the wide receiver 16 and the wide receiver 22 over the last two weeks. Rumors out there that if the Jets do not win on Thursday, Adam Gays will be sadly removed and no longer able to be a focus of this podcast. Now, are we rooting for the Jets to win or for the Jets to lose?

I am rooting for Jets fans. I want them to have a reprieve from the horror show. So, yeah. And it doesn't matter what we root for. The Jets can't win. Are there still Jets fans? Yes. The Jets fans are proud people. Just sad proud people. So are they rooting for the Jets to win or the Jets to lose? They have to be rooting for the loss.

Oh, that's the worst when you have to root for your own team to lose. The line for the Denver Broncos in New York Jets, this Thursday night matchup, it's now at 40, the over under. This thing opened up under 40 for an over under. I do think Berrios, you can add him. I mean, two straight top 24 weeks. You still play four quarters even if you're the Jets. You have to throw the football. Sure. He's so reliant, though, on the other guys being hurt, which we need an update.

on if they are like brashad parraman what's what's his health what's james and crowders if james and crowder's back braxton barrios goes back to the the the berry bushes i mean barrios is only if crowder and perryman yes but if if they're out and only if you dislike yourself i would play braxton barrios over brandon i yuk if

Oh, wow. If the depth charge stays the same. All right. We'll revisit that. The nice thing is you're going to know before that Sunday game because the Jets are on Thursday night football. But there are reports that say Crowder could play this Thursday. So that would change. I'm not. So, you know, you've got to make your decision now before you go for the waiver wire.

And truthfully, Berrios won't cost you anything. You could play him at the end. And if you get him, you get him. Does Jameson Crowder, that news, was that before or after he heard that Adam Gays might be released if they lose? Yeah, I think it was before. So maybe he will. Oh, and tighten it up, fellas. But does he, but does he want to play with Adam Gays? Because it's been good for him. All right. Running backs. I'm going to bring up some running back drop candidates. Are you dropping J.K. Dobbins.

No. You're not. No. See, that one's interesting to me because that's, it's difficult to separate hopes and reality for J.K. Dobbins. I'm not dropping J.K. Dobbins. I have a hard time dropping Tony Pollard.

And Tony Pollard is irrelevant. You can't possibly start him while Ezekiel Elliott is healthy. He's just, you know, that insurance option. And Dobbins is that. If any one of the three go down in that backfield, there'll be some clarity. More work would go to the other side. I think you can hold on to Dobbins, a guy who in a pinch, you could, if you have to put him in your flex, you have a decent chance of having.

a relevant fantasy game. That's exactly why I can't drop Dobbins. Like, are you dropping Mark Ingram? No. They're putting up the same stat lines. Through three weeks, it's just been very difficult to, I mean, have we had a good game from Dobbins? That week one, right? Yeah. Okay. It could be any of the three on any given week. I know we were talking about it. I talked at the top of I don't want, I don't know what to do with these guys and clogged, but.

But bringing that name up specifically, I would not be dropping Dobbins. Cam Acres. J.K. Dobbins is currently the running back 35 and Mark Ingram is the running back 42. Yikes. Yikes. Yeah, but J.K. Dobbins has two carries, one carry the last two weeks. Six fancy points. Six fancy points. I mean, two touchdowns in week one will obfigate the reality of the situation. But Cam Acres, DeAndre Swift. Are you dropping them? Cam Acres.

Yeah, I'm fine dropping Cam Acres and DeAndre Swift. I don't think that in the case of DeAndre Swift, zero carries last week. Let's say there is an injury to one of the three, similar to the J.K. Dobbins. I don't, I still wouldn't trust the other two. This is the Lions backfield. I'm not, you know, it's different than the Ravens offense. And Cam Acres is currently injured and.

is definitely losing time when he gets healthy right now by the play of Daryl Henderson. Who's your favorite running back at? Are you buying into Rex Burkhead, Mike? I think you should add Rex Burkhead, but I think you also should add Damien Harris, and this is, it's tough because Rex Burkhead came through, you know, I mean, he turns into kind of the nominal, the,

the receiving back when James White is out. James White is still dealing with his personal issues. We don't know when James White is going to be back. It's just, it's really, really messy in New England. So I'm willing to, you know, you're a winning team. I'm willing to stash one of these guys on the bench if I don't like the people that I'm stashing the situation I'm moving forward with. But.

The name you have to talk about, Jason is going to be super, super excited because the volume is just overwhelming. Miles Gaskin from the Miami Dolphins, what do you do? How is he not, if he's there, if he's on the waiver wire, how is he not your top ad this week? Jason, I'll let you explain. He very well might be the top ad. I mean, we talked about this a lot on the Sirius XM show. So I don't know if.

the footland has heard a lot of the conversation. I was talking down, this was before the Thursday night game, Miles Gaskin, as someone who he's getting all the work, he's getting the touches, but he's not really coming through with great performances. My example was, yeah, he's going to touch the ball a lot, but do you really care if you start the running back 30 on a week?

And he well outproduced and outperformed what the hopes were for Gaskin this last week. He had 27 touches. You have to pick a guy up like that. But the point still stands. He was the running back 23 with 27 touches. That's impressive work because if he's down near the goal line, he's never going to get that opportunity. It's the Jayhouse show down there. But in a PPR league, Gaskin looks good in the passing game. So you could take a flyer on him.

But it's a matter of what you need. Are you looking for just general depth? That's Miles Gaskin. Are you looking for a start? To me, that's Carlos Hyde or maybe Jeff Wilson, Jr. Yeah, I mean, I think whenever a player goes from nine rushing attempts, seven rushing attempts to 22 rushing attempts, and he's young, there's an opportunity there for him to become the guy in that backfield. It's why people didn't buy into James Robinson.

until we saw it. But if you had bought in after that first week, you would have been happy because one of 22 touches can go the right direction for you. Yeah, you got to chase that. He's my favorite ad because he has the most staying power of this group. Carlos Hyde is tough. It's tough to make a fab decision on Hyde if you don't know if Carson's going to be out on a Tuesday. I'm more willing to spend up on Gaskin, but Hyde is much more available. Yeah, Carlos. Go ahead, Jay.

You said it right. Gaskin has the staying power. Carlos Hyde is a one or at best two-week rental. I do think, though, again, if you have to start someone, I don't think Chris Carson plays this week. I'll be really surprised if they put him out there. And if he's not out there, I think Carlos Hyde has a really good game and should be started. But yeah, it's just difficult not knowing for sure. But I do not believe Chris Carson plays this week. Would you rather skip on Gaskin?

Burkhead and Hyde and just grabbed Jeff Wilson, who had a big two-touchdown week. We know that they're going to move the football on the ground. Philadelphia, the matchup for Jeff Wilson. It could be Jeff Wilson and Jamichael Hastie this week. I mean, Mostert, it's a Sunday night game. I don't, I think Wilson might be your best one week start.

Miles Gaskin is the guy I'm going to go after. If we're still including his name in there, he's available in about 50% of league. Jeff Wilson would be my second grab here, especially over these names of, I don't think that, look, McKinnon's probably out. We know that Tevin Coleman is out for San Francisco. I would be very surprised if Rahim Moster makes it back.

So this matchup against Philadelphia, it's going to be a whole bunch of Jeff Wilson Jr. So I'm in on that. I think he's a good play. All right now, the only update we have is Jared McKinn's day to day with an upper rib injury. Adrian Peterson. No. Adrian Peterson had 22 carries. By the way, you skipped over. You threw out that you would sign Damien Harris after Sunday Michelle was the RB 15 on the week. Yes. You would add Damien Harris over Sony Michelle.

Uh, yes, I would. Explain you. And for the record, I would add neither. Yeah, I was, I'm talking like, this is deep. These are people I'm stashing because I don't think that that one week will be, that's not going to translate moving forward to, to Sony Michelle bouncing back. Okay. Not to me. Adrian Peterson, 22 carries this past week. None for DeAndre Swift. Three for Carry on Johnson.

This is the second time that he's been over 15 carries for Detroit. They should be more successful moving the ball with Kenny Goliday as a part of this offense. Adrian Peterson for a spot start. I guess, man. But you, this is like Tampa Bay. You benched Adrian Peterson week one. Has a great game. 14 for 93. All right. Adrian Peterson. Spot started. Get in there, buddy. Seven attempts. And not only.
