Your offensive coordinator, everything has changed there right in middle of the season. There's still a couple weeks away from the buy. What about Duke Johnson, Mike? I think it's more of the same. Buccaneers coach Dirk Cutter announced Ryan Fitzpatrick is starting in week nine. Fitzmagic is back. Start your engines if you own Deshaun Jackson. Even Chris Godwin looks a little more interesting. All three wide receivers from the bucks get a boost. Absolutely. This is going to be a very.

Inside the episode
118 passagesbusy and great week for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Is Ryan Fitzpatrick starting in two weeks? Yes. I think Ryan Fitzpatrick is probably starting in eight weeks. Is James Winston ever starting again? Yeah. If Ryan Fitzpatrick finishes the season, then why would they? Winston, they won't bring them back. They won't bring them back.
Ronald Jones suffered a hamstring strain. He's going to miss a few weeks. Sean McVeigh said, Cooper Cup, most likely returns in week nine against the Saints. Great news. Chris Thompson suffered a rib injury in the week eight victory, and Capri Bibbs separate. If you are a- Pearson pulling a Fred Jackson here. If you are a running, well, I would watch out because if you're a running back on the Washington Redskins over the last two seasons, it is a minefield. I mean, it is, you better be looking over your shoulder.
Peterson needs to be wrapping those knees a lot. I mean, he's already had injury. He just plays through it. Geis has gone down. P. Ryan, Kelly's gone down. Every running back, not name Adrian Peterson over the last several years has gone down. So we will. Self-high question mark. We have no trade deadline news as of this recording. The deadline is in a few hours here. And tomorrow's show will likely have, you know, some of that information because the deadline will be.
have passed, obviously. So Demarius Thomas, Pierre Garsohn, Golden Tate, some of the rumored names, we'll have all that news for you and all the fantasy. And it'll be up a little bit earlier tomorrow. And because of the special Halloween and the fact that the three of us aren't involved, the other guys are a little bit more professional in us who are going to be doing the show tomorrow. So you don't want to miss it. Well, more connected, certainly to the NFL. Let's get into the waivers. Put me in, coach.
All right, it's by Apocalypse. Six teams on buying week nine, the Bengals, Cardinals, Colts, Eagles, Giants, Jags. And so you've got a lot of moves to make, a lot of waiver wire implications. We're going to help you out. The Falcons, Cowboys, Chargers, and Titans, they're all coming back off of the buy. Those are the four teams you want to pay attention to as potential sneaky waiver ads because those teams were on by last week. There's not a, if you click.
If you click the old last week scoring, sorting, you're not going to find any Falcons, Cowboys, Chargers, and Titans. So you may be able to sneak them off the wire. And then you got, what, six more teams in week 11, four in week 10. So it's time to navigate. Yep. All right, let's start at the wide receiver position. We'll get into some of the main waiver wire pickups first. And you guys can tell me.
who your favorites are and how much fab you'd spend or whether you'd use the number one waiver priority on them. One of the names that I've, you know, wanted to remember for this week was Kiki QT, the wide receiver for the Houston Texans, because Will Fuller is out for the season. Now, Qudy's been, cutie, Qudy, has been dealing with a hamstring injury, didn't play in week eight.
He's probably not going to play in week nine. So how do you look at him from a waiver perspective? Still worth a stash. Deshaun Watson needs him. Yeah, I mean, he is worth a stash because when he comes back and it, I mean, you're going to have to hold on to him. I wouldn't play him in week 10 if he's back, but I.
I do believe when he's on the field, this offense, they need him. He's produced at a high level. And with Will Fuller being out, there's just going to be enough targets to where he's going to be a very fancy, relevant player when he gets on the field. But you have to be a certain type of team, you know, your record and your bench size and who your players are in order to take a two-week stash at the wide receiver position. So while I think he's worth picking up for a lot of teams, he's certainly not a must.
clog your roster with an injured wide receiver for the next two weeks if you don't want to. The interesting thing for him is the opportunity, it has to go up with Wolf Fuller being out, but he's been the slot guy, he's been the short yardage guy. What would the Texans do to replace Will Fuller on the outside, the speed? Does Braxton Miller get picked up anywhere? I mean...
The guy on the actual roster would be undrafted Vincent Smith, who has some speed. I'm not saying I would pick him up. I'm just throwing that name out there because if Kiki's not playing this week, if you're in a really, really deep league and there's none of these guys that we're talking about available, maybe you throw Smith on the back of your bench. My favorite pick up this week is the Cartland Sutton ad for Dim. I think this is a unanimous favorite pick. Correct.
What's ironic about bringing him up now is we don't know if Demarius Thomas or Emmanuel Sanders are going to be traded before the deadline today. So we need to talk about it from both sides. But if you look at the snap percentage, the amount of snaps Corlin Sutton is getting, it's slightly below Demarius Thomas, kind of in the same range as Demarius Thomas over the last few weeks. He is the rising star of the team. And it makes sense for Denver to go get something for a player that's going to be a free agent.
in Demarius Thomas, a big cap hit. Or I'm sorry, he's got one year left, doesn't he? One year left. But look, he's not part of their future. No. And Cortland Sutton getting more opportunity this year to develop is important. And for fantasy owners, it's huge because Sutton is a touchdown monster. He is a big play monster. So how do you value Sutton? How do you adjust your bidding on Sutton based on whether or not a trade happens? If a trade does happen, I'm...
I always say 10% of the budget is usually my cap for a wide receiver because I'm always picking different guys up. I'm looking short term. But if DT is traded, I see Cortland Sutton as the chance to be a wide receiver 2 rest of season. And if you've got a guy that you can plug in and start them week in week out, I'm willing to spend 20, 25% of my budget on Cortland Sutton. But that's only, I mean, you will know by.
you know, by that time when you have to make your bid if Demarius Thomas was traded. And if you're the Broncos, if I, you know, if I'm John Elway, I trade Demarius Thomas for anything. If you offer me a fifth rounder, I would say, yes, it's good for my team to get rid of the contract and give Cortland Sutton more work. We're not winning anything this year. It's just a win-win. His contract, just for quick context, next year he would be a $17.5 million cap hit. Turning 32.
You can easily argue that Thomas has lost part of his game or they could just cut him for a three and a half dead cap. So if they don't trade him, I would widely suspect that Thomas will be cut. So trade him for whatever you can get. And if you're in a keeper league, I would I would bid up a little bit more too because at the end of this season, Sutton could be a keeper worthy type of guy. For sure. Jay Glazer just talked about the fact that the Amari Cooper trade.
him going for a one has overinflated a number of the asks around the league. So right now a lot of the teams are calling, but the prices are too high. NFL GMs, Jerry Jones has already spent his first round pick. So you're saying Demarius Thomas should go for Dallas's second round pick. I hear you loud and clear. Oh, that would be so great. That would be so great. We fixed that.
Looking at some other wideouts, I want to bring up, well, there's several names I want to bring out. Let's start with DJ Moore, rookie wide out in Carolina, just on the, kind of on the heels of Sutton. Last week was his highest snaps, I believe, on the season. It was, yes. Second most routes run of the wide receiver position. It had to do with Tori Smith, not being on the field. Five for 90? As well as, it's time.
It's now time to get the first round rookie wide receiver going as they make their push towards the playoffs. Their schedule is solid for fantasy wide receiver. When you see that coming out of a buy for the rookie to say, okay, we had our buy week, we're pushing forward with the rookie. That's a great sign. And now this week you get Tampa Bay. Oh, yes. I mean, this is, DJ Moore is absolutely in the conversation.
To me, it's so ironic as I looked through and I start picking out the names of who I would say are my primary pickups. They're all rookie wide receivers for me other than one guy. It's like the week, this is the week of rookie wide receiver opportunity, at least, and seeing if they could come through. But DJ Moore is a great pickup against Tampa Bay, and he's got elite talent. And now if the opportunity is there with the matchup, that's the trium for it. I would say the what?
Did he say the triumvirate? I think I did. Is that a word? Triumvirate. That's why I had to stop and clarify. If Demarius Thomas or Emmanuel Sanders are not traded, DJ Moore will become my favorite wide receiver pickup of the week. That's a cool word, Jay. Triumvirate? Well, I said, I kind of put an F in there accidentally. It's a V, right? Yes, triumvirate. No, I can't. It's hard to say, but it is a good word. It's a group of three men holding power. Yeah. It's like this show. Oh.
We're a triumvirate? We are a triumbrant of power. Triumphant triumvirate. Yeah, of course we are. How interested are. That's my band name. Are you in Devante Parker after 6 for 134? I know you. Against the Jets? You had a hot take on Friday's show. What was my quote? You were, quote, you'd rather be dead than pick them up. I will not go that far. Now, I said that, but then this morning.
I saw how many players that I don't buy. Yeah. And so I might be dead. I might be dead. Look, Albert Wilson is, Albert Wilson is gone for the season with the IR. Kenny Stills is still in limbo with his injury situation. Devante Parker came through for this team. I am interested. He gets to play against the Jets who are not world beaters.
19.3 average depth of targets for Devante Parker. You want them air yards. And you got to at least show some interest with all the teams that are on by. Yeah, certainly. I agree. You know, I'm not as hot on Devante Parker. I think there's better matchups this week. But the opportunity should be there.
