on nine targets. One thing noted by our team, he ran 86% of his rounds from the slot. So there was some question as to whether when Golden Tate returns, the Sirling Shepard see some of that target volume diminish. I imagine it will. Yes. It likely does. However, without Saquan Barclay. We'll talk Wayne Galman as a must add player, but Wayne Galman's not as good as Saquan Barkley. They're going to... What? Sorry. Well...

14:51 ↗

I should have warned everyone that I was about to blow minds. I apologize for that. They're going to have to throw more because they're not going to be able to hand off to Wayne Galman and expect him to have some insane 25-yard run. And he's nowhere near. I mean, very few players are anywhere near Sequin when it comes to the receiving ability at the running back position. So those little dump-offs, they could go to Sterling Shepard, Evan Ingram. Yeah, I think Sterling Shepard's a great play this week.

15:20 ↗

All right, in the more available wide receiver category, what are some of your favorite names? Personally, I think Philip Dorset is a must add with what's going on. Antonio Brown, a lot of three wide receiver sets in New England. Dorset should be on the field. If you want to view him as Josh Gordon light for your team, I just think he's one of those situations where everybody views Josh Gordon with a certain trade value and throws Dorset to the sideline.

15:50 ↗

where they're both on the field. I don't think Brady has any sort of preference there. And Dorset's been very, very productive. And we have Julian Edelman is dealing with his chest injury. The latest reports are it's supposed to be minor. So I'm not expecting him to miss time. But you certainly have to factor that in. And these Patriots, they look like the old Patriots of we want to run up the score through the air. And Philip Dorset has been heavily involved except for week two.

16:19 ↗

Because Antonio Brown came in and they forced in the ball, but weeks one and week three where Antonio Brown's not on the team, Philip Dorset's had a good game. They take on Buffalo this week? It's a tougher matchup. Yeah. You imagine Tredavius White is on Gordon? Probably. So this could be another sneaky start, I think, for Dorset, especially with this being a game for the division lead. Right. That's fascinating. That'll be a...

16:45 ↗

In Buffalo. Yeah. So. Oh, it is in Buffalo? Yeah. That's right. Yeah. So I think the game line right now is New England minus seven. Yeah. What, Jay? Good, good luck with that Buffalo. Oh. I think New England covers? Yes. Okay. I do too. DJ chart. Three straight weeks with a touchdown. DJ Chark or Terry McLaren. Who would you rather have on your roster?

17:11 ↗

I'd rather have McLaren. Terry McLaren. But I think DJ Chark is an avid. He has a pickup. We'll see how he can perform this week with, of course, Gardner Minshu. Can he keep it going? But we just saw Denver and Chris Harris. Harris was basically able to shut down Devante Adams. And I would think that the primary cover for Harris will be DJ Chark. But we'll see. You also have Nelson Aguilar?

17:40 ↗

54% own, two touchdowns last week, 12 targets. But we do expect Allison Jeffrey to potentially play on Thursday. So that's a tough call on Aguilar. Not only that, but this is the Screen Bay defense, I believe, is for real. You know, there was a lot of talk last week about Emmanuel Sanders. You want to play him, but the matchup looks a little poor. And it was. The Green Bay secondary was great. And so Nelson Agalore, if Aljan's back against Green Bay, I'm not.

18:10 ↗

digging that as much as, you know, the exact other side of the field. Marquezvada is scantling against Philadelphia. I would rather play over Nelson Agalore, assuming Alshan is back. Another name I want to bring up is Deontay Johnson because he played on 79% of stabs for Philadelphia. I'm sorry, for Pittsburgh. And he's a rookie. He's completely unowned. He was three for 52 in a touchdown. Mason Rudolph looked bad, but we also did not see the James Washington Mason Rudolph.

18:40 ↗

combination so dionte johnson's a player that they want to develop especially in a lost season and if juju is not going to command the kind of target share we thought he could before the season which seems so far to be the case certainly doesn't have any more of a rapport with mason rudolph than dionte johnson does so i think in deeper leagues he would be an interesting stash

19:04 ↗

has Cincinnati defense this week, but I like most of the other names we mentioned more than Deontay Johnson. Yeah, the tough part is this is a really good matchup. So if you want to grab him and play him, go for that glory shot, sure. But more than likely, you're going to grab him, stash him, wait and see what happens. Oh, he has a good game. Then you're going to put him in the next week against Baltimore? You know, so now you're stashing him for multiple weeks for Mason Rudolph. I do think Deontay Johnson is a talented player.

19:32 ↗

could break out. Obviously, the Steelers have a history of drafting wide receivers very well. He was their number one wide receiver on their board going into the draft. So, yeah, worth a stash, but I agree with you, Andy. Other player, I would rather have some of these other guys, if they're available, the MVS, Dorset. We didn't mention McCall Hardman. Say, what about Hardman, Jay? Where are you? It's temperature-wise. I mean, he's only getting, you know,

19:57 ↗

Two to three catches a week. However, that's all you need. That's all you need from a wide receiver. When they're 90 yards, it's 100% Tyreek for me. For me, if Tyreek is gone this week, then you need to start McCle Hardman. And if he's back, I wouldn't start McCall Hardman this week. All right. We're going to talk running back waiver pickups. But first, we want to thank Mugsy for supporting this podcast. See, getting a good pair of jeans.

20:25 ↗

is like Chris Thompson falling down about 20 yards before the end of that run. I think Al Borland would say it's like Chris Thompson. Yeah, I know he would. I know he would. They are the most comfortable jeans ever made. Our manager Damon just picked up a few pairs this past week, tried them on, said they're unbelievable. I love their shorts. Yeah, yeah, you just picked up some of those as well. Mugsies are real jeans that literally feel as comfortable as sweatpants. The magic, Jason, more.

20:54 ↗

is in the proprietary fabrics. Is that why? We don't have access to these fabrics. They are very secretive. Well, I have access to it through buying mugsy jeans. That's correct. Yes. Yeah, that's true. A blend of high-tech materials that make these jeans mind-blowingly soft.

21:09 ↗

I love mine. They're the only jeans I have. The guys at Mugsy are so confident that you'll love them. They offer free U.S. shipping in return, so comfort is 100% guaranteed. Do your legs a favor.

Oh, and Foot Clan. Are you an Amazon Prime member? Yes.

21:36 ↗

Well, then did you know you have Thursday night football? Oh, you don't have cable? You have Thursday night football. It doesn't matter. That's right. Thursday night football has returned to Prime Video for a third season. Cool thing is you can catch all the action on your TV or on the web or on your mobile.

21:55 ↗

22:24 ↗

or simply want to experience the future of football. Tune in this Thursday. Coverage begins at 7 p.m. Eastern, and kickoff is at 8.20 p.m. Eastern, also available on Fox and NFL Network. NFL Network simulcast subject to change. Thursday night football is presented by Bud Light Platinum. All right. Hey, Jason. Yeah. Those next gen stats, they're incredible. How are they powered? Oh.

22:49 ↗

They're powered by AWS. I wasn't sure. You weren't sure? I hear they have the proof. I hear those commercials, Mike. Last night I heard one of the commercials in the house. I'm not happy with the audio mix, Mike. I have nothing to do with it. I think they need more volume for these touchdowns. The touchdowns at the end of these commercials where you're really giving it a lot of oomph.

23:15 ↗

I feel like they should just turn off everything else. And just go to the voice. And just have your voice, nothing else. You can't even hear the crowd. Why didn't you sneak in a little AWS proof? Go to the fantasy footballers.com. Get the podcast. I tried. I think it was really funny last night. I'm making the kids dinner. And then my boys, hey, hey, dad, you're on TV. I was like, I like how Reddit every day. It's like.

23:45 ↗

Three or four times after a commercial, they're like, is that Mike right from the fantasy footballers? It sounds a lot like him. He's not his friend? I am still every week getting congratulations because people can't tell our voices apart for some reason. Before we go to running backs, I need to do the Foot Clan and our producer a maybe a service, maybe a hardship. Brooks has, he has.

24:09 ↗

He wants Dante Pettis everywhere he can get him. He's messaging me. He's a co-owner in one of my teams. He is putting this out there that he believes Dante Bettis can still have a second year breakout. His snaps been going up. He had the injury early on. So I'm not picking him up personally. They got a buy week. I don't want to hold them through it. But if you're out there and you believe in Brooks, I know there's a lot of you out there, he's calling his shot. He's saying Dante Pettis is talented. The opportunity is rising. He could still break out in the second half of the year.

24:39 ↗

That's for you, Brooks. Thank you, Jason. You summarized it perfectly. All right. He had a game-winning touchdown last week. Do you get extra points if they win the game with the touchdown? No, but you may get extra snaps the next time next game. He's not wrong. That he may get extra snaps? Yeah, like we're not rewarded. Jalen Hurd is coming back too after the buy. So they got Debo's Samuel and Rich James and Jalen Hurd and Markey's Goodwin.

25:03 ↗

George Kittal. And Dante Pettus. And Dante Pettus. All right. You gave Brooks his day in the sun. Brooks, you're also fired along with Al Borland. But when we are looking for producers. You know Borland. Oh, come on. And Borland beat me. So Wayne Galman, I want to know what you really believe about Wayne Galman. Because we know that Sequin's going to be out for a considerable amount of time. They have Washington, Minnesota, New England on the schedule.

25:32 ↗

I would not be surprised to see this team make a roster move in the coming days heading into the weekend. Galman had 34 receptions as a rookie, but when you look at the only game he had double-digit carries in last year, very inefficient, two-point-something to carry, I don't know right now, and I know it's our job to quote-unquote know and make a call, and I'm going to do that. But I don't know if Wayne Galman is going to get the level of work that...

26:00 ↗

matches the fab spend, people may invest tomorrow. So, you know, out of $100 fan budget, what are you really spinning on Galman rental with, you know, Minnesota is going to be a tough matchup. In New England's a tough matchup. Daniel Jones threw the ball one time on 25 routes run by Wayne Galman. He threw it one time to Galman. Clearly, he was looking downfield. So where are you guys out with?

26:26 ↗

you know, this quote unquote gold mine on the waiver wire. So I don't view Galman as a must add. He's going to be expensive. He's going to cost your priority. He is a team dependent ad for me because I can't imagine starting him over a lot of other running backs. What about over a guy like David Montgomery? Would you start Wayne Galman this upcoming week? That's, you know. I probably would not. I probably would. Against Washington, correct?

26:52 ↗

He has Washington and the Bears have Minnesota, I believe. But there are teams, you know, that have really their second running back. They have no options. You know, they were plugging the hole with Rahim Mostert and he's on by and then Tevin Coleman's coming back and you have to make a move. In that case, then you've got to go out and buy him. I just, I don't believe Wayne Goldman's going to be very good for fantasy. It's a bad team. He's not Sequin. Bad matchups upcoming two of the next three weeks.

27:22 ↗

So I'm not excited. I mean, he's a must add. He's a must add. He's a must add. It's just how much you spend on it. Well, I like, would you spend 50 fab, Mike? No. Add Goldman for potentially eight weeks. No, I'm not going 50%. If, if I'm in a waiver system and I have the number one priority, I will burn it. I will burn it for Wayne Galman. Probably even if I don't need a running back on my team, because I know someone else is trying to get Wayne Galman. So I'm also playing defense. He becomes a tradable asset. He's a starting running back for.
