Are you presently aware of how many feet in a yard? Oh, yeah. Have you discovered this? I have learned that it is around three feet in a yard. Around. It's a very vague. Measurements are always loose. That's what they say. Somewhere around three feet per yard. And I believe yesterday.

You implied one foot per yard. Right, because Sequin had 13 carries. He only got one yard. So I was like, ah, so I'm like a inch. It's an inch of carry, except that would be a foot. Yeah, out of curiosity, put you on the spot here. Do you remember how many feet in a mile? 5,280. Okay. That is correct. Yeah, that would be. Also, you'd get me there. Moronic. That's also 5,277 more.

than Sequin gained. Lots to cover today. It's a waiver episode. We've got some news. We had a game last night that was a thriller to the last seconds of overtime. And it was an exciting one unless you started Matt Berita or Emmanuel Sanders or maybe Kevin Coleman or. Even Tyler Lockett who left early. Yeah. Or you rostered George.

Kittle and hope maybe he'd show up or anything of that nature. A lot of injuries, but goodness, a lot of amazing football. And there was still a lot of, you know, for fantasy, you still had a lot of really good players. Chris Carson was awesome in a very tough matchup. Andy, you called your shot this week on Debo Samuel. You picked them up. You played them in our League of Record. You on Twitter said, you're calling for the breakout this week. You were, you were aided a little bit with Emmanuel Sanders.

but still watching Debo and seeing, oh, this guy's totally legit. You can't take him down. I want you to understand that with Emmanuel Sanders out and getting to see what was on display for the past catchers in San Francisco right now with no George Kittle, I'm picturing a pirate ship and you just line them up and you just kick them in the butt right off the side. Mm-hmm. Just...

one after the other. It's very easy to kick Dante Pettus off that. Dante Pettus will not be, he might not be back next year, drops throughout, but yeah, Debo 8 for 1, 12. He's a big-time waiver-wire pickup if Emmanuel Sanders was to miss. I liked him because Kiddle was out. And I thought that Russell Wilson would be able to keep this game competitive. They use them in unique ways. And, man, apart from that incredible defensive play down the sideline,

We thought maybe Debo would take that one to the house or get them into field goal range. D.K. Matcalf led the way on the Seattle side, receiving-wise. Here's one that I might have got it right with Debo. I got it really wrong with Jacob Hollister. Jacob Hollister had eight receptions in this game. Tyler Lockheed getting hurt turned Jacob Hollister into a PPR machine. Eight for 62. Another touchdown. Going into the buy, he could be one of the more sneaky benched pickups.

Austin Hooper's hurt. George Kittles hurt. Players at the tight-in position are limited. You could probably get Hollister because he's going into the buy for almost nothing, if not nothing, and then stash him if you want to roll the dice. I mean, we don't know how long Tyler Lockett's going to be out, but we know what Will Disley did with Russell Wilson, and Hollister is only earning trust with the system. Do you agree? No, I do agree. He seems like Little Montana.

in the sense that one of the things that is really helpful to be valuable for fantasy football is to have a quarterback that says here's a touchdown here you go please just just you're falling over here's a ball in your hand

Please just have one. Just hold on to it. Yeah. And so, you know, if that's going to, now, I will say this. They're on by. Tyler Lockett, you know, he went to the hospital with whatever leg swelling was causing, you know, fears of blockages. But they, because they're on by, we expect them to have Ed Dixon back. We expect them to get a little bit healthier. I'm still into Jacob Hollister, though. I want, when it comes to a tight end, I just, I want to.

part of a good offense, and he's already got the trust of Russell. So I'd keep rolling with Hollister if I'm in that streaming territory. It's just hard because you've got to roster him through a buy week. And is Hollister worth that? Maybe. He might be, obviously, the last two games. He's been fantastic. I really appreciated the graphic that they showed where he had three touchdowns in the last two games and zero in his first 26 or whatever. Yeah.

Tight end, right? I mean, every week you get one or two performances you expect, and the rest are who catches the touchdown? You know, who do you want? You want Kyle Rudolph for the rest of the season? No. He's going to average between nine and 12 yards a game. That's what Kyle Rudolph's going to average. Maybe he catches a touchdown. Or do you want, I mean, eight receptions makes a big mark for me. That being said, we searched far and wide for Emmanuel Sanders updates today. We can't find them. He's getting, he got x-rays for a rib injury.

inconclusive, going to have an MRI. It would be pretty bad for this offense based on what we saw last night to lose Emmanuel Sanders. We don't know for sure, but because the x-rays were inconclusive, one assumes that it's not a broken bone. And if it's more cartilage, that becomes a pain tolerance issue where he could play through that. Mike, do you have anything else from this game that you wanted to touch on? No, just that it was, I mean, it was incredibly exciting. This was, I feel like, finally.

an event where we were going nuts in our group chat Twitter was going insane that it was it was the game that the NFL had been has been waiting for unfortunately it took till week 10 until we got this performance but it was it was great to finally have that event that NFL event for all of us it looked like it wasn't going to be that the way it started and then pretty much from when standard I mean they were 10

10-0. Looked like they were dominating. The 49ers, that is. Then Sanders goes down. Defensive plays on both sides. It was very exciting. When it was 21 to 10, it just looked like, well, the game is over. There's no way that Jimmy G. Without Kittle, without Emmanuel Sanders, is going to be able to bring him back. And it wasn't him. It was their defense. But it just such a wacky, awesome fun time. What is the opposite of clutch? Like, this is not me baiting. What do you, what do you? Choking? Yeah. I mean.

Do you just say the joke? Yeah, I think that's... Are you talking about the San Francisco kicker? No. That's not fair. That was part of why the game was so incredible. This kid off the street with... He didn't even get the opportunity of a timeout. It was they got enough yardage. Jimmy G. had to clock it and he runs out there and he kicks the tying field goal. That was insane. I know he knuckleballed the next one. But I was referring to Jimmy Garoppolo, man, that...

When he had chances to win the game, but he managed to tie it, but everything else, the overtime, he just looked, he looked terrified. He looked like a scared, bitty baby boy. I don't think he trusted the receivers. I mean, I don't know why you target Pettists on the final drive trying to come back. Yes. They all had drops. But there were, yeah, there were drops across the board. And then, yeah, there was a confidence issue with his receivers, not having the safety valve of Kittle hurt him.

And some passes were just errant or thrown right to the defenders. No doubt about it. We should get into the news. News and notes from around the league presented by Sleeper. All right, Devonta Freeman could miss about two weeks in what is believed to be a foot sprain. Our own Matthew Betts says that seems conservative. Three to four weeks is more likely. And if you factor in... I guess you consider that optimistic. Wouldn't the conservative pick be?

Like if they had said three or four weeks and then he comes back in two? Yes. I think you are right with your analysis on the analysis. Thank you. But that's all I'm here for. Freeman. Freeman has not been one over the last few years to recover well.

or quicker than expected from injury. He's, you know, up there in running back age, and so this is a concern. He's dealt with too many injuries over the last two years, and I think, you know, especially we're going to talk about the running back waiver wires, but, you know, it's not really a spoiler. Brian Hill is going to be a major pickup right now. I imagine Brian Hill is going to be the primary pickup for the majority of teams. And if you're a, you know, Chris Carson owner, you're looking for the bye week.

There's Brian Hill with no Edo Smith, no Devonta Freeman. That's said like a Chris Carson owner. That's correct. Austin Hooper has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain. This was breaking news on yesterday's show. He's going to miss some time. They're thinning out in Atlanta. And I do agree with what you said yesterday. I was disappointed in Calvin Ridley in this game this past week. It was a bad one. But.

He's sitting right there. There's a lot to be. And maybe you look at Russell Gage, too, as a just sneaky Dary Slate-esque type of play. Yeah, with how much they're going to throw the ball. And with Matt Ryan in tow, you know, they're, and Hooper gone. Yeah, there's going to be fantasy points to be had. What about Luke Stocker? But it's not going to go that direct. Brandon Cooks has already been ruled out for week 11 against the Bears.

Yeah, I mean, this is, it's nice. I think when you saw him practicing in part, we were like, oh, okay, so he's trending. But remember, Sterling Shepard was practicing for a long time. This is a situation here for the health of Brandon Cook's life. So he's going to be out. Robert Woods gets to face the bears. We get to see if Cooper Cup can get off the Schneid, Josh Reynolds. Chris Herndon's now out.

Thank goodness. We need an extended period of time. I want one of those graphics of Chris Herndon's season, November 10th, 2019 to November 10th, 2019. You should make that because that's, he's been on people's rosters through the.
