Week 3 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Jason Survives! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/17

Could we even handle watching the Saints offense last year? It was the most putrid, boring, non-creative offense I've ever seen. It was everyone stands still. You guys run straight, and I'm going to dump it off to Camara, and it's completely revamped. And the Eagles, the Eagles are in trouble defensively. They haven't figured that out yet. It's the helmet thing. They've got to put them on forward. Look, everything you're saying about Derek Carr makes him an obvious pick this week. I do think he's not going to be an option. for everybody because the cost on the waiver wire will be there. Yeah, I'm going to spend like 10 fab. Sure. Okay, that's a good, good answer. I'm going to go with Gardner against Carolina. And I wanted to look for somebody that was completely undrafted that would be completely free on your waiver wire. He has the highest completion percentage in the NFL. He has arguably the best. Gardner Minshue? Yes. He has argued. Gardner Minshue. Yes.

Yeah, because Devante Adams and Brock Bowers have been unbelievable. Yeah, I mean, you can make the argument that Adams, he's a top five easily wide receiver. And then you've got Brock Bowers, who's a top five tight end receiver. So those two options and no running game to me, and the fact that Dalton could keep the game more competitive, I think it's actually a really sneaky spot start if you're hurting a quarterback. I agree. Yeah, I don't disagree that. The completion stat was shocking. The most completions in the NFL of any player. Look at you, Gardner. I'm going to go with Justin Fields. Justin Fields is actually playing pretty well, just in football terms. Fantasy, it's kind of been the inverse of the normal Justin Fields situation of. Usually we get great fantasy football performances and poor NFL performances. But like he's playing, he's playing well.

That's the James algorithm. Like when James played worse, it was better for fantasy. Right. And like the Gardner stat, that's shocking. Justin Fields is completing 70% of his passes right now. That is absolutely mind-blowing. He's still running a ton, 14 attempts in week one, eight in week two, just haven't hit the big play yet. And if Justin Fields keeps playing the way that he's playing, it will happen. So rushing yards, a better matchup for George Pickens here in week three. Doesn't get Patrick Sertan. I think that feels should be picked up a play. Dude, go trade for George Pickens. If you're out there, if you're listening, he is the best by low to me. He had 3.9 fantasy points this last week. Terrible, terrible week. He was awesome. He was awesome last week in that game. He had.

He had two monstrous, awesome plays called back on penalties against Sartan. I think he has looked. Great by low chance. He has looked outstanding on film. Are you dropping Caleb Williams if you drafted him? Oh, yeah. Are you dropping Justin Herbert if you drafted it? Yeah, sure. And are you dropping Jared Goff, who went from the dominator to shout out to the Foot Clan, the domester fire. Oh, hey, yes. So that is. That is tremendous. Jared Goff, he gets to play in another dome this week. Good work for Glenn. In Arizona, I saw that this morning. I was like, somebody wrote in and said, you need to call him the domster fire now. And I said, I just wrote back instantly. I said, yeah, we're probably using that. Jared Goff, I, like, would you make the pivot from Jared Goff to Derek Carr? This week I would. I wouldn't dump Goff probably. I'd probably try to.

bounce those two guys back and forth based on matchup and performance. It's just such a good matchup again against the Cardinals. I think Goff bounces back. I'm not dropping Goff. I think I might start Carr over him this week. Yeah. But I'm not going to drop him. Yeah. I can't wait to see what Carr has in store. Can he overcome being called the stream of the week? That is the important. The amount of times that we've hit that button. because everything's lined up for Derek Carr. I'm so looking forward to a new future here. And the fact that Jason's head will be shaved live on the air if Carr continues to win. But I'm rooting for it. All right. That is it for today's episode.
