Week 3 Waivers + Someone to Blame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/22

Went five for 95 and a touchdown. He's my number one pickup. The week or a wide receiver? That wide receiver. Actually, let me see. I think that might be, he might be my number one overall. Yeah, I think that unless you're the, like the Jacob Dobbins manager, then it's Coleman. But yeah, I think Denzel Boston's my number one pickup because he's got everything that you want. You know, he's got the snap counts. Not everything. Maybe. Quarterback? He did this week.

One of the highest rated passers in the game this week. Yeah, this week. Do you believe he has the quarterback you want? Just say it. The quarterback I want? You said he doesn't have everything you want. I'm just using your words. He's just trying to get a sandbox. I just want you to say that you love. You got a quarterback I hate. There we go. Dinsale Boston, though, young, highly drafted, big physical touchdown threat, which look, if you have a quarterback you don't love, you want somebody that's going to get into the end zone. I don't need like, like frankly,

conception right now is running around like chimray dk in tennessee did in his rookie year i want the guy that's got the big playability that they take a shot to i can break a tackle and he's in elite company right now um rookie wide receiver since 2000 with 90 plus percent of snaps and a touchdown in the first two games he was a buka and boston that's it he was a touchdown machine in college that was like his i feel like his superpower and uh

So far, it's translated to the NFL. Do you guys disagree? Is there a better? No, he's my number one wide receiver. He's my number two wide receiver personally. I have Don Tavian Wicks above him simply because with the Dallas gotter injury, I mean, we've seen, I think the better team, the better quarterback. He's on the field a lot. His yards per runner outrageous. Yeah, he can go deep downfield and get a bomb touchdown the way that Denzel Boston can. He can, you know, last week it was five for 74. He's.

playing the snaps running the routes on a better offense for a better quarterback and the targets should be perhaps going up without goddard so i would put wicks then boston but i certainly those two are in a tier of their own from the other wide receivers to me so wicks snaps did go down i mean the opportunities were we're still there that's so it's interesting of what they did between week one and two they had to get cooper why yeah why i'm in on the boston side is because this isn't out of nowhere he's a he is a second round

rookie when rookies produce we want to be aggressive we want to go after them just in case like they're a star special guys just show up and he and he had the preseason he ended exactly that the pre in during the training camp of preseason period his drum beat was very steady and very loud like you had some beat reporters saying i think denzil boston might end up as the number one wide receiver on this team which felt like

like just absolute blasphemy because they drafted c concepcion who was the seemed like the better prospect who was drafted in the first round so i'm i'm on andy's side here of the the team environment obviously much much better for dantavian wicks but young player breaking out after his breakout was predicted by their media

I would be decently aggressive going after Boston. I don't mind it at all. If you want to take Boston for the high upside, I certainly think Boston has a higher ceiling case than Dantavian Wix. Do you believe that there's any chance that Deshaun Watson continues to ascend or approve? I do not. I would find that doubtful. Yeah, it's hard because he's a player that played at a level that was so outrageous at one point that you're like, like,

Maybe the answer is like you get the Russell Wilson post Seattle version of Desha Lawson. Which that's what Cleveland has received to this point. Other names, like, do you have interest in Keanu Coleman at all? Yeah. I mean, we don't know the DJ Moore injury for sure, whether he'll be out there or not, but he looked. You mean just for this week? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I think he's back and he'll be back soon.

Yes, this is not, I don't think Keon Coleman is a rest of season, great play. You know, Rashad Bateman, these type of guys, Keon Coleman, Bateman is like, what are the starters? Is Zay Flowers playing? Is DJ Moore playing? If they're out, these are break glass in case of emergency, you can start them in your league. How about some respect for Trey Tucker? Yeah, Trey Tucker was the name I would bring up. He's, he's my number two right now. Kurt Cousins is playing.

Very good football. Kirkin. Kirk-O-Chains is... I don't like that. Yeah, it wasn't your best. It's like cooking and kirkin, but it sounds dirty. Sounds a little dirty. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're moving on. Sound kind of weird. But it's like, Trey Tucker has actual staying power. He's flashed from time to time. And if he gets really consistent quarterback play... Do you remember him in week three of last year? Yeah.

Was that like the multi-touchdown game? Three. Three touchdowns on 145 yards. He has two or three of these games a year, but we have seen him for now four years. So chasing Trey Tucker, that's tough. That is for a week to week, basically. When we had the fantasy time machine, it was like, I went team by team, and it was the Raiders. It was like, this is an environment where a wide receiver can.

can pop off. I ended up going Jack Bess, simply because Trey Tucker, we've seen him pop off and then disappear. I didn't know if he was reliable enough or, you know, Jalen Naylor. The matchup against New Orleans this week, I expect a fast pace of pay, a lot of fast play. Thank you. Place of play. No. No. Hold on. I'm going to try this over. All right. Give me the camera. It's Kirkin. It's a fast.

pace of play in New Orleans. And so I expect a lot of points scored. I'm fine taking a shot on Trey Tucker. But if you told me after the game, it was Jalen Ehler or Jack Bash or, you know, it's like, okay. Well, Bowers is returning. Yeah. Well, sure. Sure. And then, you know, there's a chance that Caleb Douglas miss his time for Miami, uh, if you care about Malik Washington or Chris Bell. Sometimes you got to get gross. Chris Bell.

only had 41% of snaps. It's definitely Washington over him right now. Yes. See, I, by the, uh, by the Denzel Boston argument, I would still probably rather roster Chris Bell just for the upside. Yeah, but if you had to start one this week. If I had to start one, yeah, Malik Washington. And then Darius Slayton, do you care about adding him after the, uh, I honestly, the biggest name of all the other names that I think is actually near the top of my list of that. Can I guess it? Yeah. Adonai Mitchell. Yes. That's a good name. I like Adnan Mitchell.

I've said this before. 12 target, 6 for 63, the passing volume in the offense that you talked about getting from Gino Smith, a team that I think frequently will be playing from behind. He's on the jetts. He's going to be playing on the road in Detroit, which is they lost more quarters. He gets the deep opportunities as well, and he's going to connect on some of those. So for me, Adonai Mitchell is actually one of the sneakier plays. Like I'd put him outside of Boston.

And Wix. I think he's my three. He's my four. Okay. Why don't we take a quick, oh, some drop candidates. You ready for these? Yeah. We talked about Alec Pierce. How about Wondale? Yeah, you could. Yeah. What about Quentin Johnson? Yes, probably. Cortland Sutton. Yeah. That's disgusting, but I don't think he's very good. What about Marvin Harrison Jr.? Jason. Jason. Let's go to Jason's game.

See, you know what's going around right now? He's still hiding. What's going around right now is a lot of college film of Marvin Harrison Jr. It looks so good. Who has a slightly different level of energy. Maybe it's just because he's not running against professional DBs. I don't really know. It's not the DB. It's like the effort. I want to kind of like balance it a little bit because I went back and watched the film this past week. And there were like, I don't know what to do here. The team has been like, okay.

They're asking McVeigh or LaFleur. They're like, hey, why can't you get him some easy touches? And if you listen to his answer, he's like, well, look, it's easier said than done. Like, Trey McBride is the best short area middle of the area receiver in the game. You have so many offensive plays. Half of those are runs. It's like, do you want to just script up a screen pass and waste it down on Marvin Harrison Jr.?

He ran some downfield routes. No, he didn't. No, no, no. Those are you right. That was the insinuation, though, is like. We have guys that do that well. Why do it with this guy who's supposed to, you know, threaten down the field? And it was logical. It's like Kendrick-Born and. Yeah. Entrainment bride should be in the short area middle of the field. You should be using Marv in a different way, but Marv is not putting in the effort for the type of routes that he's been given. But he did on someplace. He did on some, but there are so many from week two as well.

Yeah. Where it's just like he looks like he is not giving a fart. And I mean, he's not getting any targets. I don't. It's not like he's failing on the targets. It's a bit of a like if you never get the ball. I'm not expecting wide receivers to not be divas in that regard. He runs, routes, fully not expecting to get the ball. He is not out there wanting. He's not a dog. No. No, there is a. That's two. Through two weeks. We do have a leader for Cat of the Year. Yeah.

Oh, which Mason Taylor was the winner of that last year. I don't remember what we called the actual award. What did we call it, Kyle? Cat Player of the Year, something stupid. Maybe Meow Man. Meow Man. Yeah. Okay. We're pretty good about that. Marv. Miam. Miamen of the year right now. Marv. Miaovin Harrison. You better get it together. Miaovin Harrison Jr. for sure. Right now. Yeah. We'll take a break. We'll talk tight-ins, quarterbacks, streams of the week. There's something satisfying about being prepared before everybody else catches on.

Back into the waiver wire and maybe just maybe we found a position with a few diamonds in the rough. I think it's interesting. Tight-ins, you know, Terrence Ferguson with the potential Pukunakua update. I've been missing another week.

And just like there's a chance he has value that persists beyond Puka's return. Arronday Gadsden taking over as the number one, you know, tight end in Los Angeles where, by the way, the drops were outrageous from like Trey Harris and Brennan Thompson and even Njoku and those guys. Like you could use another target beyond Ladd McConkey there. And then Darren Waller, who just seems to have a nose for the end zone. Man. Nothing else in two weeks, but, you know, 17 yards, 33 yards.

Whatever it was the first two weeks. It's where a walrus belongs. Near the end zone. Near the end zone. It's just his habitat. That's the habitat. Okay. All right. Other names to add to that? Whatever. I mean, T.J. Hawkinson has done, he's had a few plays this year. I don't think there's names you need to add beyond those three because those are three good pickups. And the order of those three to me is like Gadsden. I.
