This is the fantasy footballers podcast. I'm Andy Holloway. I'm joined by Jason Moore. Good, beautiful morning. And Mike, the fantasy hitman, right? Pop quiz, hot shot. Ooh.

You're down by three, and you've got five seconds left at the one. What do you do? Levy on Bell. And his patience is the kind that makes you get antsy. Like, he is so patient of a runner. He sits back there, and he just waits. And he's so, you know, he's quick enough to where you can do that. It's just impressive. Well, he, like, he starts, he reads a book. He has a little tea. Uh-huh. Takes a nap.

And then he makes a jump cut and scores touchdowns. Wakes up from that nap, like, oh, I got to go! He was so patient. He didn't even start playing this year until, what, game number? All right. Welcome to this show. We have a good one for you today. We're going to be going through the news and notes. We're talking waiver wire. It's time. It's happening. Time to make your move, people. This is when you can solidify your roster. You can also, you know, there's two sides to that. You also...

And we're doing this five days a week all season long. And we will be recording shows all year long. Yeah, that's right. We do not take a break. When the offseason comes and all the other shows stop, no, you guys get to keep listening because there's a show that sticks around now. It's us. We will be there. So very good show today. I got a quick question for you guys. And the question is, what quarterbacks lead the league in quarterback rating through five weeks? It's got to be my Red Rocket. Is this QBR or?

This is the pro football focus, official quarterback rating. I'm going to throw Andy Dalton out. Okay, so Dalton's on the list. Oh, he's on the list? Well, I'm looking for top three, so we'll give you a ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. He's one of the three. I'll go Tom Brady. Tom Brady. He's been amazing. Andy Dalton and... Give me one more. Those are two correct answers. I would go Aaron Rogers. He threw two picks. So number one is Brady, number two is Dalton, and number three is... There's a couple guys.

Tyrod Taylor? No. Cam Newton? Nope. Carson Palmer? Yeah. It was between Taylor and Palmer for me. Carson Palmer and might have something to do with this, a little extra information for the listener out there. The number one wide receiver by a large margin on the wide receiver rating on Pro Football Focus.com is Larry Fitzgerald. Larry. And then it's Cobb and Julian Edelman. Randall Cobb? Randall Cobb?

Correct. So you have a nice connection between you got the Brady Edelman stack there on the best two. You got the Fitz Palmer stack. And then you got the Red Rocket all by himself, just throwing the ball all over the field. Pretty impressive, though. So those three guys, Dalton, Palmer, Brady, here's the real question. Okay. Here's the me. That was the information. Are they every week lock and load, don't stream them starts? Yes. Okay. Okay. Because, you know, the goal.

With getting a guy late is hopefully you don't have to change him out every week. We don't want to do the dance if we don't have to. Right. And I do. Carson Palmer, the question for Carson Palmer will be after the bye week. As long as he keeps playing the way he is right now. And if you're a Carson Palmer owner...

The game flow. Frustrating. The game flow has been so frustrating of guys going down at the two and then Chris Johnson or David Johnson. The new goal line back. Man, two touchdowns. All he could have three. He could have three. He gets the ball. He gets a touchdown. I know. And so my thoughts now moving forward, David Johnson, now that we, it's hard to concrete say that he's the goal line back, but.

It looks like it. So he, to me, is still a flex play weekly as a goal line back for a very high-powered offense, just hoping for a touchdown. But Carson Palmer's schedule, we've talked about it through the bye week is fantastic for a quarterback. Pittsburgh next week? Yes. And with Andy Dalton, you can see the schedule.

is not going to matter as of right now because he just played Seattle. So you just roll them out. I just roll them out. Okay, that is good to know. Hey, we want to thank everybody who has gone on to iTunes and left us a review. We try to read one of those at least every week, and so we're going to do that right now. Review Osoris Rags.

This one comes in from Wyeth Hooker. I'm just assuming that's their last name. Well, I would assume that. It's a normal last name. No, totally normal. I mean, he totally didn't capitalize it. Right. All right, Wyeth Hooker. Fantasy football is life, he says. Fantasy football is my life.

And I trust these men with my fantasy football team. Therefore, I trust the footballers with my life. Yes. So while I should probably be asking myself some important life questions, I've been too busy eating double-stuffed Oreos and with my three-and-one record thanks to the guys. Great show and keep it up. Well, thank you, Mr. Hooker. Well, you know, our goal is nearly complete. We want...

people to trust us with their lives. And hopefully he's four and one now. Yeah. Otherwise, he totally might take all that back. Nah, three and two, you're fine. Yeah, three and two is a good record. So thank you for that review. You can leave those on iTunes. And if you're listening on Stitcher or other places, please leave us a review there. If you enjoy the show, if you enjoy the content, it's a good way to say thanks for the, for the show. Help us out. Yeah. So let's get into the news and notes. News and notes from around the league. All right.

Alrighty, let's start with a bit of news from Adam Schaefter. He says, Big Ben really wants to play in week number six. Do we expect him out there, boys? I think it's too early for that injury. We've seen him have this injury before, and he missed more games. So I don't blame him for wanting to be out there. I watched Michael Vick as well, just like he did. Kind of a funny news blurb.

Well, like, I want to be out there. I think, I don't want to be out there. No, it's, I think it's more related to he wants to play against Bruce. Bruce, Bruce, Ariens, his old, his old coach. Yeah, you know, he can take another week off. No big deal for us, Cardinal fans. Yeah, I wouldn't mind. Boy, how disappointing are you, are disappointed are you, that, like, Antonio Brown has been this.

relegated to... I mean, like, you go 36, whatever it was, straight games with the 5 and 50, and now you got two straight without it? Yeah, because Michael Vick likes Darius Hayward Bay. Well, he liked Wheaton on a 72-yard or two. Yeah. That was a pretty impressive throw. All right, Peach... Peach Cobbler. Peach Cobbler said that Marshaun Lynch... All right, Pete Carroll said that Marshaun Lynch is expected to return to practice this week.

Oh, that name is going to stick. I love it. So Marchand is going to return to practice. I read another blurb this morning from Carol saying that, from Cobbler saying that Rawls would definitely be involved. Lynch comes off the field quite a bit, so 8 to 10 carries is the expectation for Rawls. Are you buying all of that? I mean, is Lynch just kind of a back to an every week start this week? Are you...

Scared because the O-line? Oh, I'm nervous about it, but if he comes back, you're, you plug him in with full confidence. Would you buy him low right now? Uh, yeah. I'll tell you who I'd buy low. If Marshaun lunch is back, I'm going to go look to maybe buy Rawls a little lower because I don't expect, look at the different injuries Marshawn's had already this year. I mean, he's always got the back problem. He's had the calf problem. He's had the hamstring problem. He's older and possibly breaking down the way everyone predicted last year. So.

If he comes back and plays every game for the rest of the season, I will be surprised. I feel like somewhere Marshal and Lynch is in his laboratory and he's got like a little vial that's filling up with doubts. And so what you did just there just slowly raised his doubts and now he will come out and destroy everybody. Because every time he's doubted, he does that. So I...

It's hard for me not to have that in the back of my mind that he's just going to come out and be like the number one running back the rest of the season. But did you know that Fred Jackson's behind him? Oh, good point. He always empties those. Yeah, he pours those files out. Jay Gruden said D. Jacks and his practice reps will increase, you know, just a bit of news. I mean, you're just waiting for him to come back. Yeah, I don't think you roll him out there if you need to, and a buy. I don't think he plays this week. Okay. John Harbaugh said he's hopeful to have Steve Smith, Signor, back.

Senor. You just roll him right back out in the lineup, don't you? Oh, absolutely. It's a great matchup. I've missed him. Justin Forset has a good chance to play in week six against San Francisco, so congratulations Forset owners. You might have avoided a big issue. Well, you have to... But he might be limited now. You have to add in. John Harbaugh is also the guy who kept lying to us about Prashad Perriman's injury. Was he... I mean, I don't think he knows what's going on to Prashad Perryman. I didn't...

When, back when it happened. I think he just keeps saying, we drafted him, right? He's on our team. He just kept saying like, oh, no, he's just kind of strained. Yeah, this news to me is good. I want to hear that because I hope four sets back. But I don't take this as news that. Oh, okay, so Forset is going to be back. In fact, when we get to the waiver wire, we'll talk about Buck Allen and Lorenzo. Some things to monitor this week. Ronnie Hillman tweaked his hamstring in the Sunday win. We didn't mention that. CJ Anderson time. It's about.

Time. 15 for 30. All right. So, Mike, tell me what you really think about that. I just did. 15 for 30 from C.J. Anderson. Free agent, Pierre Thomas, he's going to work out with the Chiefs. He has worked out with the Texans before and turned down a minimum, veteran minimum deal. So he could end up as depth slash, you know, kind of passing down role there in Kansas City.

You guys are taking West over Nile Davis. Yes. We'll get there. Okay. But yeah. We are talking waivers, yeah. NFL.com's Ian Rappaport reports Marcus Colston has a separated shoulder. It could have structural damage. I have the need. The need for Sneed. Yeah. Sneed or cooks the rest of season? Cooks. Yeah, you still cooks, but you get Sneed on your bench. Did anything jump out in the game last night, guys?
