Mike is absent and represented by a cardboard bear; the episode preserves Megalabowl lore and a cursed chopped-league manager joke.

in that category. I think Bayshall-Tooten is still, I still think he's there because E.TN's been very inefficient. E.T. has been inefficient, and he's kind of fallen in and out of favor historically. So, like, you know, what happens if, the best question is, is what, what happens if one of these guys has a big game? Okay. RJ Harvey, Trayvion, Henderson, Bayshall Tutant, Caleb Johnson. If one of those guys has a big play, like the big one, Caleb. didn't have on Saturday. If one of those guys have a big game, what are the implications for the team? If you look at RJ Harvey and he has a big game, I can see a logical and rational way that they give him more work because Jacob Dobbins is a veteran, you get more explosiveness than past game work. I can see RJ Harvey's workload increasing. If Chavion has a big game, I'm not sure anything changes. Well, and another way to look at this is actually as

silly as it is and unpredictable as it is, injury is the most likely method to one of these guys having a championship winning end of season. The starter ahead of them goes down. So take a look at each one and say, well, if the starter ahead of him goes down, which one would have that breakout? The J.K. Dobbins went down. It's R.J. Harvey alone. It's his team. And it's a good offense. So that's great. Chalk that up to awesome. If Ramandre Stevenson goes down, They're going to find someone off the street to put in over Trevion Henderson right now. That's how it feels. I don't think they would just give him the everything. They will split reps with Treveon Henderson. I do think that if Travis E.T.N. went down. Bayshel Tootin would get everything, but it's not as good in offense as the Broncos.

55:27 ↗

He's not as good a player as R.J. Harvey. And should Jalen Warren go down, I would be really, really excited to see what Caleb Johnson could do, but Arthur will 100% use Kenneth Gainwell there. 100%. So to me, the answer is clearly R.J. Harvey, because he has both the opportunity to gain more work on his own, and if an injury happens in all these situations, he would be the dominant. And I actually ranked two in second there. I don't blame you there. All right, Twitter question from at PD Packer fan. What is the best waiver pickup you have ever had in your fantasy careers? Mine was Devon A. Chan at 5 a.m. in the morning. The Dolphins dropped 70 points on the Broncos a few years ago in my Keeper League. So I guess you are, you don't have a waiver timer that goes through at one time. You're just first come first served. I do remember those days. And I lapped them up.

56:23 ↗

Yeah, there was one that I remember that was brutal, brutal, because it was genuinely something that you saw with your eyeballs in preseason and went, oh, okay, I'm going to call my shot. And then the shot was right. But I went to pick this player up at the same moment that you did. We both, we weren't together. We were at different places. You were at your house. I was at my house. Both watching the same game. We both watching the same game. We both saw exactly what we believed. We both went to pick him up. You got him minutes before me. I was so upset. And then I believe you went and won a championship that year with him? I think so. And that would be Kurt Warner. Yeah. That was a good one. I remember getting Marshawn Lynch when the rumors around the Raiders were about to happen and I got him on the team like a day before that happened. I'm fairly certain in our dynasty league, I got Tyree Kill off the waiver wire.

57:23 ↗

Yeah. Oh, Tyreek was a dynasty waiver wire in tons of dynasty leagues. I just posted mine in Slack, but Pooka Nakua $3 in Dynasty Fab. Dynasty. That's my greatest pickup. That is incredible. When you talk about all timers, like, you know, what's Puka right now? Is he getting to the fifth pick in a startup dynasty draft? Probably not, no. And you got him for $3 on Dynasty Waiver. I just thought of another one too. A few weeks ago, I picked up Darren Waller. I was able to turn him into a fourth round pick. I don't like you. My favorite pickup, the one that comes to my mind, was I believe it was Tim Hightower. Oh, yeah. This was. Oh, yeah. You've always remembered this one. I remember that one because I was so adamant. So this was right before the fantasy playoffs. I don't remember the exact running back core, but the starter got injured. And everyone thought the waiver pickup was not Tim Hightower or someone else. And I was so absolutely adamant. I was telling everybody.

58:22 ↗

that everybody's wrong. It is Tim Hightower. He is the guy you want. And you got him. And then I picked him up. And then I won a championship with him because he was great. That was my favorite one of all time. Yep. Yeah. Absolutely. All right. That was today's mailbag. Watch every game every Sunday with NFL Sunday ticket and YouTube TV.
