He might end up on injured reserve. This is going to speak into our waiver show today. Yep. A big time. Paul Richardson is going to have surgery on his shoulder and knee. He's going to be out for the rest of this season. The Redskins as a team were just destroyed this last week. You lost two starters from the offensive line. You lost another lineman in and out during that game. Four of the starters are now gone.

112 passagesOr, you know, this is a huge worry. And then you lose, arguably your number one wide receiver. A wide receiver. I don't know if there is a clear-cut number one there. But, I mean, it's bad vibes for the injury bug in Washington. It's the same exact thing that happened last year. They lost their entire line. This is them and what? Los Angeles need to work on their chargers conditioning. Adam Schefter said Sonny Michelle is likely to return on Sunday against the Titans.
Here's the thing. I want to talk about Rob Gronkowski. Because Rob Gronkowski missed the last week. There's a chance he's back, but they have a bye following this week. And so it is, to me, the likelihood is that Gronkowski is going to sit another week. Do you guys agree with that? Yes, I do, unfortunately. It's been a bad year for Rob Gronkowski. Yes, it has. It's been extremely disappointing. Yeah. And look, and so.
We're a redraft show, but let's just real quick, take a dynasty pause. Grankowski, I mean, there was already all these talks of he's going to retire, he's banged up, the Patriots whispered from the bushes at least, we're going to trade him away during this offseason. And Grom said, no, if you trade me, I will retire. So then teams didn't want to trade for him. You have the, is Brady coming back? Is Belichick coming back? What is the actual?
dynasty value of last, as of last year, Gronk was the number one clear cut number one dynasty tied in. Yeah, I mean, I, is he even in the top three for you in dynasty terms anymore? Yeah, I said this, coming into this season, Gronk and dynasty is, was a must trade. His value is high and the, the timeline left.
look so short, and you could get a lot for Gronk. Now, now it's a little worrisome of how much you can get. But no, I mean, would I draft? Are you just going to bail out, though? Would you take what you could get for Gronk right now if you have? Yeah, if I could get a decent offer, yeah. You won't get a decent dynasty offer for Gronk right now. If you, here's how you get it. You might from a team that's trying to win. Yes, if you've got to rent. He's even out right now. I mean, by the time the trade deadline goes by, you're going to be what?
He'll miss this week. You'll have the buy week. You probably won't be able to get it. I think you're stuck with him. And I don't think that's a big deal. If I had to project the future for him, and I've got him in my dynasty league, I just made an acquisition of Josh Gordon. I think you get one more year. I think you're going, that's my, my anticipation is you're going to have another year of Brady. You're going to have another year of Gronk. And I think they actually end up signing Josh Gordon to a one-year deal. That's my, that's what I believe. So we'll see.
We don't know. But I think you're going to get one more year of that core together. That's what I believe as of right now. Now, whether or not you get enough gronk, he has to stay healthy. He has to get healthy. But you need to make plans to live without him this week because I don't think he's going to play. Agreed. Put me in, coach. A whole bunch of teams returning from the byweek, the Bengals, Cardinals, Colts, Eagles, Giants, and Jags. Your friendly reminder that those are...
Those are some of the more ignored players on Waver Day because they don't have a high point total from the week before. People have let them go and they forget about them. And everybody's reacting to who performed this past weekend. So don't ignore those six teams. Heading into Week 10, the Vikings, Texans, Broncos, and Ravens, they're all on by. And those are some teams and players that you might see hit the waiver wire following when it goes through tomorrow. And those could be players that you could sneak.
back onto your roster on Thursday. All right, so let's go ahead and get into the wide receivers. I think we are all in agreement that we have the same favorite. Yes. And that is Marquez, Valdez, Scantley. Yeah, he should be the clear-cut favorite across all positions this week. I, you know, he is a bona fide wide receiver two or better.
the rest of season. With the injury to Geronimo, Allison, even when Geronimo was out there, we've seen Marquez Valdez Scantling have fantasy production, but now he's basically the number two wide receiver for Aaron Rogers. I mean, that is a super valuable since 2011. That's basically been the wide receiver 15. And...
he's looked great so it's it's time to i would i would spend up on baldos scantling i i usually don't spend more than ten dollars on fab but i would i would burn my waiver priority on him i would i would spend twenty dollars if if you're making a run at a guy like that's got a hundred yards or a touchdown in each of the past four games he's been great for fantasy purposes and now he's the guy it's the same reason back a few weeks ago
When Geronimo was actually available on the waiver wire because he had been a little bit banged up, it was you got to get Geronimo. You got to get that wide receiver too from Green Bay. But now it's a new guy, so pick him up. And when this season started, we knew it would be a sifting process of sorts to figure out the running deck and the wide receiver position there. But you've got to take advantage of it when you can. Now, Jason, how does your philosophy change with the $10 a fab per wide receiver when you're...
trying to acquire somebody for the stretch run. I mean, do you adjust that when you think you have the opportunity to go grab a guy that you can start? Yeah, I mean, I'm willing to spend up. Now is the time of year where when we tell you, here's the percentage I would spend, or here's what it is, you have to do the work. Because the number we're giving is nonsense because.
You've got to look at how much budget is left for your team. They said 10% I'm going to bet a dollar. Your league, you know, look at your opponents. Who needs a wide receiver? How much fab do they have? Spend a dollar more than they can or a dollar less. Are you set for the playoff run? Make sure you don't spend all of it. Save some of your, save $5 of fab for that playoff run so that you can grab the tight end away from an opponent for a dollar when they're out of fab. Stuff like that.
Just use your brain. Use your brain. Yep. Solid advice. All right. Well. Fantasy football. Do you have any, if Allison's out, do you have any interest in a flyer on Equanimia St. Brown? No. A lot of four wide sets. You don't think he's going to earn a more significant role? I mean, he might. I mean, he played a lot of snaps, but you, we've seen that.
Rogers finds the guys that he likes and trusts and then he goes to that player. Rogers seemed frustrated with EQ a couple of times this last week. I'm not really in love with Brown. Okay. Let's go ahead and move on here. Do you have any other favorites that are jumping out? I mean, MVS is the clear top favorite for me. Guys that I'm also, you know, decently interested in.
Are you guys like Kiki? Coming off the injury and the bye week, the addition of Demarius Thomas, I think that he... I don't even think he's back. Really? Yeah, I mean, he said he's not coming back until he's 100%. I don't know his practice report. Maybe he's practicing in full and I've missed it. But yeah, I mean, if he doesn't come back this week coming off a buy, then I worry that...
It's going to be even longer. So I am not super excited about. Okay. Actually, he's going on by. Oh, even worse. Yeah, I apologize. Because he had missed a couple weeks. Yeah. You know, Trey Kwan Smith is still a guy that I'm interested in. Okay. Being the, that deep receiving option for Drew Brees is usually valuable. So I'm pretty, I'm pretty happy with that. Um.
All right. Some other interesting names. I want to know what you think about the Williams guys. It seems like we talk about them every week. It's a bit of a guessing game. Neither of them had a significant amount of targets. Three for Tyrell, three for Mike Williams, both for the Chargers, obviously. Just three targets, but both scored. Well, I mean, one had a ghost touchdown. One of them had a legitimate touchdown. Oh, because you're still bitter against Mike Williams? No, no, no. Yes, very much. Referees. What are you watching?
It's ridiculous. But I would prefer Tyrell. I'm going to take the Gazelle personally. Mike Williams is a fine flex play when you're out of options. What about John Ross? Are you guys making a move to pick him up in hopes that he can step up with the absence of A.J. Green, the New Orleans Saints matchup. We talked about. Bye weeks this week. If you're desperate.
Mike, you know, the break the glass players that you've brought up before. Sure. John Ross at home against New Orleans is a break the glass whiteout. He made plays in preseason. I think that he, you know, when you lose AJ Green, that is a big red zone opportunity, a big red zone target, not that he's a prototypical red zone guy, but a touchdown or two from Andy Dalton should be expected in this game.
I think you can break the glass with him and CJ Usama. Well, it's a deep threat, too. I mean, how often, how many times per game does AJ Green get a sideline bomb? And that will be John Ross now. So I, yeah, the problem is John Ross is, uh, no, he's no AJ Green. Sure. Um, all right. Uh, other names that you could be interested in, Treyquan Smith, 28% owned. Yeah, Jason had mentioned him. I do. I'm still very interested in.
in him, even though that the volume has not been there. Reports that Des Bryant is being worked out by the Saints today. I think that that would be a great ad for them. They're at the point now where outside of Treyquan and Michael Thomas, they don't really have, like in years past, you had that goal line, Jimmy Graham line them up outside opportunity. That seems like the one crucial role that you could almost use Des for. They're getting nothing out of their number three guy. Yeah, Cam Meredith has been a,
disappointment to them. So it makes sense that they would look at that. I think Des should go to the Lions personally. Go be a big slot man up in Detroit. The Lions are up. They're on the way down. But yes, yes, I get it. I doubt the Lions are going to spend money. They just shipped out Golden Tate in part to save money. How about Maurice Harris? Are you guys interested in Maurice Harris? Because I am. Yes, I am as well. I mean, this was a...
That is a Washington, that is the wide receiver for the Washington Redskins. He looked really, really good. He has looked good this year. I mean, on very, very low volume, of course. But this week, you knew that someone was going to have a, at least someone should have a good game for Alex Smith. And that was Harris. 10 for 1, 24 had the 12 targets, gets to play Tampa Bay.
He's running it primarily as a slot guy for them. Crowder's been banged up. Paul Richardson's out for the year. Josh Doxon is good for his three super ridiculous catches of the week. But can Harris step into the role and be the actual number one for this team? I think it's plausible. Would you rather start Maurice Harris at Tampa Bay or John Ross?
Because that's... It all depends on whether James and Crowder comes back for this game or not. If Crowder's out, I'm comfortable playing Harris. He had 10 targets... I'm sorry, 12 targets, 10 receptions. If Crowder comes back and bounces Harris from the slot, I would start Ross. Okay. Yeah, I think I lean that way. But if Crowder is out, Harris is extremely interesting this week. So you'd put your waiver claim on which one not knowing? Because I would lean towards Harris. I would prioritize.
Ross personally. But just because I know that AJ Green is going to miss a couple games. I'm not sure what's going on with Crowder. Are you interested in chasing points with Curtis Samuel? No. Are you interested in Anthony Miller? Five and 49 on six targets, rookie wide receiver for the Chicago Bears. I am interested in Anthony Miller. He's looked good and I haven't heard any update on Alan Robinson, but it does not seem like he's, you know, just he was almost out there. It seems like he was.
not close to being there last week. So if A-Rob is out against Detroit this week, I like Anthony Miller quite a bit. All right. Are you interested in Cordero Patterson after the rushing? Only if Sony is out. Yeah, obviously. But by all accounts, it sounds like Sony's going to be back. Okay. All right. All right. Cool. Let's jump into running backs. Before you do that, I want to thank 23 and me.
