throw picks, take sacks, and when you have kind of an undrafted free agent rookie quarterback making his first start. Jalen Daniels. That is a nice player to target. We have Jane Daniels at home. Look, I am still a little bit burned from the Packers against Michael Pennix, but I get it. It should be fine. And to that point, nobody has been worse than Winston. And the Cardinals play Winston this week, and they do it.

Inside the episode
106 passagesIt's tough. It's tough because the Cardinal, I mean, Winston throws picks. He loves to throw picks. And thus far also, no completions. Yeah. He doesn't do the completions, but he's doing the picks. But it's like Arizona Cardinals last week, no sacks, no interceptions, no fumbles. Oh, they have the worst pressure rate on anybody. You know, points allowed. But I get it. I get it. I get it.
I think it might be okay. All right, that was the waiver wire presented by T-Mobile when you're updating your roster right before kickoff. You've got coverage you can count on. Just another reason game days are better with T-Mobile. Check it out at T-Mobile.com slash membership. Let's do some full stream ahead. Or Jason. You're putting your finger up saying, pause. The win. Checking the wind. I'm just going to throw an aim out there. Oh, no. Disgusting. Hold on. You already threw Caleb out there. You can, you know, if you've got room, you can pick up Tyree Kill.
He's going to come back at some point. We're so far away. You think he tweeted that he's, yeah, he said, I'm going to get off off the couch and get to work. He'll join, he'll join the Chiefs in week 10. Yeah, I mean, it might be, it might be later. Maybe like there's, we know there's degenerates in like 16 team leagues and stuff like that. Okay, fine, maybe. But in a standard 12 or 14, I don't, I'm not wasting a spot on Hill.
We've got them in Dino Jr. Mike. That's a Dynasty League. That's very different. All right. Let's get into the streams. Full stream ahead. All right. I think you're going to see some interesting names hit the waiver wire this week. And I think Bryce Young is going to be one of them. But I think Bryce Young is a good stream this week against Detroit. Sunday night football. The team has come out and taken responsibility for the...
gross mismanagement of Tetaroa McMillan. I don't know if you saw that. Dave Canales came out and was just like, we're going to take all the heat on this. Like we didn't move them around, put them in a position to succeed. We didn't do what it takes. That's nice of them to say. Yeah. Don't do it. How? How does that possibly happen? You know, games get away from you. And the pressure was crazy. I mean, that's something we need to give credit to Mason Graham and those the Browns are two and one for a reason.
Yeah. And a lot of it's the defense has stepped up. Like people thought they would disappear with no Miles Garrett, but they have, you know, with Jared Verst and Mason Graham and that group. I just think Bryce Young, once they lost Coker, it was a disheveled offense. I think this will be a much different game. I don't know what the over under is right now, but Bryce Young, I think bounces back. 50.5. Yeah. Yeah. I think he bounces back this week. And I think this was one of those guys. It's not a waiver pickup.
on Tuesday. It's a waiver pickup on Wednesday. When he gets cut. When he gets cut, they drop it like it's hot. Yeah. I'm going to go with a guy who is very available. Eugene Cyril Smith, the third. Okay. Colloquially known as Gino Smith.
My dude, the quarterback for the New York Jets. Talking about quarterback three from last week. 31 for 37, 84% completion percentage 321 and 3. Got it done every day of the week. I talked about the offensive line has been holding up. Gino is okay if you can protect him. Yeah. And the offensive line has been pleasantly. I mean, look, he's 75.5% completion rate through three weeks.
Sixth in passer rating, eighth in total EPA among quarterbacks. He's playing good ball, and the bear's defense is beatable. 25th in EPA per dropback, 29th in pressure rate, which that... That's in Chicago or at home? I believe that's in Chicago. So long as the weather... Yeah. I mean, whenever I'm like picking things like this, it's like, oh, they're outdoors in Chicago. Oh, they're outdoors in San Francisco. Oh, they're outdoors in New York. I'm just like, blah. I'm going with...
Someone who will not be playing in the United States. We will go with Marcus Marietta. Oh, are they across the pond? They are going over. They are playing in London. I love this one. Marioita, he is a wild man because he can give you games like they did last week where you're like, holy crap, you beat the Seattle Seahawks, and then he can absolutely fall on his face. But he is available in about 94% of leagues.
He was awesome, threw for three touchdowns. The Colts defense is so bad. He's still running, and the Colts defense stinks. They're just, they're terrible. So if you are. They're not going to win a lot of games. Like, if you are in the hellscape of quarterbacks. You mean the Drake May healthcape? Dr. Jason Herbert. Justin Herbert? The Baker Mayfield Hellscape? The Jackson Dart Hellscape. If I would. The Jane Daniels Hellscape. I'm not, I'm not playing Drake May. I will.
I'll put Marcus Mariotta in there. Will you drop Drake May? He feels like a landmine at this point. Would you drop him for Bo Nix? For the next? Yeah, I mean, Bo Nix was almost my stream of the week. I think he's another. Bo Nix is going to get, like, I feel very confident that the Denver offense after they get out of this, like, extremely tough part of the schedule, and it opens up.
their offense is going to be much better. And Drake May and the Patriots, will they improve? I think they will, especially when they get A.J. Brown back, but that's a long time from now. Yeah, that's like two months from now. Yeah, it's a landmine for a while. Yeah, that's crazy. A lot of decisions to be made this week.
