for the majority of the fantasy season. For Fab, I mean, in the 30s. Okay. We're in the 30%. There's a lot of teams like Jason said that they really need a running back who's going to get some volume. I side with you, Andy, that I think they will bring somebody in. I don't know if people caught it out there, but Orleans Darkwa, who had his time for this team, but he tweeted out a giff of...

28:17 ↗

implying he was waiting patiently for them to call him. But a lot of names have been... Patiently or desperately? Desperately? Impatiently is a better word. But a lot of names have been floated. Jay Ajai. Do they trade for Kenyon, Drake? A lot of things have been floated out there. If you told me Galman's the guy and they don't add anybody, I would move my fab. Like if I knew the future, for example. Sure. I would be willing to spend, you know, 40 bucks on Fab to just have that guy that can be in my lineup.

28:46 ↗

every week, even if it's a 10-11, 12-point play. But I just don't have the confidence that they're not going to share the load. Right. And I don't either. Like, this isn't, like, we find out today, Dalvin Cook is going to miss eight weeks. Like, Alexander Madison is a guy I would spend 50% of my fab budget, and I would go hard after it. I'm still going after Galman. Yep. I'm just not, I'm not going to cripple my fab completely to get him. Sounds like a good summary of what we're all saying is that.

29:14 ↗

We don't necessarily see the ceiling for Wayne Gaulman. This is not a Tony Pollard league winning ceiling. This is a team that's probably going to have some growing pains with Daniel Jones against Minnesota, New England at a minimum. So Goleman's upside is. But I will say, like, are maybe they go from being a bad team with Eli Manning to just being an okay team. Like Daniel Jones looked, he looked great. He didn't just look pretty good. He looked great.

29:43 ↗

against Tampa Bay. Yeah, the only thing I'll speak positively for Gallman is that this is a bad week for running backs on waivers, in my opinion. There's not a lot of guys that I just love that I could scoop up and play. So, you know, but obviously, Galman is one of those guys. He's now a starting running back with very little depth behind him. The next name I would actually pull out, I'm curious your guys take on Daryl Williams. Yes, he would be next man up.

30:12 ↗

for Kansas City running back. Probably, yeah. I mean, he needs to, right now he's third string, but Shady re-agravated the ankle, and Damian Williams missed the game. We don't have enough information at this time in the week to know if either or both are going to be gone this Sunday, but he's a game changer. He's a guy that, you know, if he is the starter, you've got probably a top 10 back. Yeah, and the truth is, I mean,

30:42 ↗

This is part of fantasy shooting your shot. Your waivers run, whether you have all the news on these guys or not. Right. So Darrell Williams, it makes a lot of sense because you are talking about an offense going into Detroit that is moving the football. But it's probably a one-week rental of sorts with Darrell Williams. Galman represents a longer-term situation.

31:07 ↗

even if maybe the upside's cap. So I would spend more on Gaulman than Darrell Williams myself. Yes, I agree with that. Rahim Mostert, you know, Mostert and Jeff Wilson, I don't even want to talk about them because they have a buy week and then Tevin Coleman is supposed to come back. And, you know, you really can't bank on San Francisco having multiple goal line opportunities for Wilson. So I'm not really stashing him. So would you cut either guy? I would cut both.

31:35 ↗

Yeah, I mean, I totally get that. If I have mustard, I would cut him for Galman or Darrell Williams. He's not, I would still prefer to hold on to Moster through the by week. Because it's not for sure that Coleman's coming back. It's just in the range of outcomes. Cleveland and the Rams, the two matchups for the running backs in San Francisco when they come back. Other names, Ronald Jones, Frank Gore, Carlos Hyde. Are you interested in any of those guys?

32:04 ↗

Frank Gore has a terrible matchup. Carlos Hyde came back to Earth, and Ronald Jones is on the Buccaneers, and I just want to stay so far clear that situation. If I had to pick one of these three guys, it would probably be Ronald Jones. Gross. The hardest thing with that situation is that you've had a competent running back for three consecutive weeks. You just haven't had the same one. So the Bruce Arian system and the running back being productive in it is proving true.

32:33 ↗

But you don't get to start Tampa Bay running back X. You have to pick one. And that's proving to be frustrating for fantasy owners. At least Jones has the unproven future career side to him. But if he comes out next week, I mean, he had 15 touches last week. What if he has five? He looked really good week one. And then he looked really good last week. I know. But yeah, exactly. If he comes out, you can't start him, right? There's no way you can be confident enough to be like,

33:00 ↗

Well, he's the guy now. He's going to get a ton of work. I need him at least heating up. Yeah, you need the back to back. I need it at least back to back. And even then, you still could just be thrown into a trap. Rashad Penny is 62% owned. He should be picked up. You should pick Rashad Penny up. If the fumbling problems continue for Chris Carson, if he doesn't take advantage of the Arizona matchup, if Rashad Penny is healthy and active, he may take advantage of Arizona. And it may change the perception of...

33:27 ↗

him for the rest of the season, both for fantasy owners and for Pete Carroll. I don't think Pete Carroll is going to be like, well, Penny had a really good game, but it was against Arizona, so that's not valuable. I mean, he will take that game and run with it if he can stay healthy. He hurt himself in a walkthrough, guys. That's hard to do. In a walkthrough. Now, here's the thing. Look. How do you pull a hammy in a walkthrough? Okay, okay. I'm sure they're jogging. Have...

33:51 ↗

Has anyone at this table... That's a jog through, Jason, completely different. Has anyone at this table ever hurt themselves jumping into a pool? Yeah, that was me. Has anyone at this table ever hurt stepping off of a curb? Yeah, I mean, I did that. And you're mocking the guy. Hey, Jason got himself hurt sitting in a chair during the show. Has anyone at this table ever blown out a knee sitting down? Yes. Why do you have to make this a... Ever thrown out their back grabbing a t-shirt off of bed? Guilty.

34:21 ↗

Wait, hold on, hold on. You threw out your back, picking up your shirts? Yeah, it was just... Not even the getting dressed motion, the picking up motion. I just reached to the left and was on the ground. Come on. You went down? Oh, yeah, went down and then couldn't move, couldn't get up. I had to scream for help. This is, this is like a decade ago. This is Broken Bowl games to this time. You were a young man? I was younger. I was fit. I was, I didn't have this belly.

34:49 ↗

But I had a bad back because that shirt. You reached for a shirt and you went down. So Rashad Penny, we forgive you. Yes. I would rather have Rashad Penny than anyone on this list not named Galman. Obviously, if he's there. Because let's say Penny doesn't even play this week. But then the following week, Carson fumbles again. It's not just a Carson injury at this point. It's Carson injury or Carson Fumble. Yeah, it's hard. Because you.

35:17 ↗

probably won't be starting him the week that the fumble happens, but at least he'll be on your roster for the week after in that case. That being said, Carson could have a huge game against Arizona and reestablish himself. It's going to be, it's trepidious times for Chris Carson owners. Tight end wise will, Disley. Oh, the big Marks, Hannah. He is the pickup. It's pretty wide. Oh, goodness. I feel like you never believed in him, Mike. I,

35:45 ↗

I guilty as charged. I did not believe. I did not believe, but here I am. Yeah. Being country strong, big Montana, Will Disley. It's, he has to be looked at as the truth now. Like he's getting target volume. He's not just a touchdown dependent tight end.

36:09 ↗

He's one of those guys that can get you five for 50. That at the tight end position is very rare. Then you throw in touchdown upside. You throw in that he's playing Arizona. It's going to be a good game for what this week. Yeah. I mean, look, if you, you're the George Kittle owner, right? And he's on by and you need to pick someone up. You pick up Disley. You're fine for this week against Arizona. I mean, you know, look, he's tied with Mike Ditka for the third most.

36:38 ↗

tied in touchdowns through the first seven career games. This is my favorite stat of all time because it's so specific and outrageous. Through the first seven games, he's tied for third. It's a terrible stat. But it's with Ditka. So it's great. Yeah. Yeah. It's three games. Seven games. Oh, the first seven career games just had this skipped.

37:02 ↗

most of the season part in between. Well, it didn't have to be consecutively. Chris Herndon will be back after the by week, a reminder now. I don't think you have to move on him now. He's not that kind of a must-owned player with, you know, Darnold should maybe be back. So I would still. It's as long as he can stop smooching. I would still wait. Now, Herndon won't be back the.

37:23 ↗

the week no immediately after the right it's there's some time so it's still two weeks away so chris herndon will be a tight end that i think is a as a pickup next week i agree and then jason witton's still kind of on field doing whitton stuff three for 54 on four targets this past week would you you know if you're the it's basically if you're the kiddle owner right now

37:44 ↗

Who use streaming? I prefer Dizzy, but if not, then Jason Witten's fine. Jason Witton's going to end up as the tight end 12. It's just going to happen. Right. He always does. I would go Dizzy. Then I would actually go Vernon Davis against the New York Giants, and then I would go win. You know, the thing I didn't like about Vernon, because I had picked him up after the Jordan Reed News in one of our leaves because I have Kittle. And, you know, you had a lot of, a lot of sprinkle sprinkled in last night. So Vernon was. And how about the dude?

38:13 ↗

To play with the jump, when Vernon Davis went to hurdle the defender and the defender said, no, I watched game tape on this man. I've seen this move. He's about to jump over. Hey, I was just impressed with the vertical again from Vernon. Yes. But whenever you go from playing the bears to play in the Giants, things get better. Sure. Fair, fair. All right, although 332 passing yards for Case Keeneman, not a lot of them going Vernon's way. Possible drop candidates. What do you guys think? Antonio Brown, you letting him go?

38:42 ↗

I would. I'd let him go as well. I have to make this decision, and I am going to be dropping him. Yeah. In the Keeper League? In the League of Record, yeah. Yeah, I get it. I don't have room to. There's no IR spot. Yeah. Well, even if, yeah, he can't go in. Exactly. I mean, there's no, sorry. I mean, there's no IRR eligibility for him. And you're, you got to stay nimble. You've got to be able to move on the waiver wire. Jarvis Landry, Baker, Mayfield. I think you can, wow. I think you can drop him.

39:11 ↗

Yeah, I mean, I would drop Baker unless you're in one of those leagues where there's no quarterbacks on the waiver wire. Otherwise, and by no, I mean like, you know, there's not Matthew Stafford on the waiver wire. It's like if Matthew Stafford's on the waiver wire, then I'm fine, you know, saying, yeah, I can I can make roster transactions and move on for Baker. Then what do you do with Stefan Diggs? Because Diggs is in the same Jarvis Landry, draft capital. I mean, Diggs is in a worse position because you spent more on it. I take Diggs.

39:40 ↗

Put him as part of a package trade. And hopefully people don't realize I'm sending them a poison pill. I think that's smart because Diggs as a accompaniment. Like if you could send Diggs and James Connor and go get yourself a more reliable running back option. Right. Like Diggs and Connor for Chub. The Dick Chub owner is going to laugh in your face for that offer. Maybe. Not all of them. Yeah, you'll find. Send it out. Not the Nick Chub owner that's a Minnesota Vikings fan.

40:10 ↗

That's a very specific fantasy football player. Not the one that had Stefan Diggs win him a championship last year. Who's also a Vikings fan? Not the one who's 27 years old lives in Seattle, Washington. That guy would accept. The guy with the digs jersey over the mantle. I know that guy. We're talking about you, Brian. Yeah. Jared, Gerard. Jared. Ram's offense kind of missed. He's been very mad. So next week he is.

40:39 ↗

He's at home versus Tampa. I'm not dropping him. Yeah, I'm fine playing him this week. Kenyon Drake, Tariq, Coen? I'm still holding Drake in hopes of the trade. I'm cutting Cohen. It's over. Yeah. I don't blame you there. What are you hoping for? And you're real, are you, like, you wouldn't drop Kenyon Drake for, like, Wayne Gallman or Daryl Williams this week? I would put him in a capsule and send him into outer space. I would not.

41:05 ↗

You would not drop Kenyon Drake? You just can't do it. I can't quit him. Wow, man. I still think that's a bad hold. That's a bad hold. That's a bad hold. Fookland, do not follow. Stag bad hole. Look, Kenyon Drake is out for the season. Jason's like, well, I just can't drop him. He's good for my roster. Look, Phuklan, listen to these two guys on Kenyon Drake. Not me. But I'm hauled them. All right. Miles Sanders.
