This is the Fantasy FootballDudes podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What is up my dudes?
This is Trent with the FantasyFootball Dudes podcast.
This is a little solo YOLO,solo podcast I'm doing here
today.
I have my week three waiver adsjust coming off.
A nice Monday night footballgame.
I guess you could say it wasnice.
Joe Burrow kind of got JamarChase.
I know he definitely got JamarChase involved.
If you want to check this wholething out, go over to YouTube
(00:32):
at TFFdudes, also availablewherever you listen to podcasts.
Remember, don't be rude.
Share the dudes really helps usout.
Give us a thumbs up whereveryou are listening.
Really helps us out, guys.
But Monday night football had alittle bit of a.
You know we had a littlesleeper play.
Remember dudes 100, they'llmatch up to $100.
We were a Ketapuca Nakuareception away from a very nice
(00:57):
win for your favorite dudes.
It did not hit.
But other Monday night recapDeandre Swift looks like he's
here to stay, even thoughGainwell had a lot of carries
also, guys.
So it's, they are giving bothbacks carries still, but it's
looking like I might have beenwrong on what I thought.
With the whole Eagles backfield, deandre Swift is being very
efficient.
(01:17):
Gainwell is still involvedthough.
But Monday night football isover.
I know most of you guys aren'there for the waivers.
What about that Mike Evanscatch?
That was unreal.
One of the best catches I'veseen in a long time.
But waivers, week three.
Waivers enough about Mondaynight football.
I remember why you guys are allreally here.
You want to know those waivers.
(01:39):
And this whole week, you know wetalked about the dolphins.
I mean, you know just, I'mgoing to talk about the dolphins
right before I get into waivers.
Dolphins deliver to historicperformance.
They scored impressive 10touchdowns during the game, even
a fun conga line intervention.
It was just a good game.
It was.
It was not just a game, it wasan entertaining show, making it
(01:59):
hard for everyone not toappreciate.
However, there was one minorissue.
They could have broke thatrecord if they just chosen to
kick the field goal, which Idon't know why they didn't.
They'd already embarrassed theBroncos.
Why not go for three morepoints?
The dolphins continue toshowcase their speed, fluidity
and agility, resembling thequalities of an aquatic namesake
, of their aquatic namesake.
(02:20):
Now, these fish, I'm talkingabout this.
I had this story lined up, youknow, on Tuesday.
So, speaking of fish relatedincidents, my wife's car needed
to go to the shop last week.
Okay, so that means I have twocar seats in my truck and just
hang with me here a little bit.
Okay, Two car seats meanssnacks and I love snacks, you
(02:43):
know.
Just looking at me you canprobably tell.
But the problem with snacks isnow I got snacks eaten in my car
and that means goldfish, thesnack that smiles back, and my
one-year-old daughter.
You know, she is a pretty goodeater, believe it or not.
She just starts dumpinggoldfish all over my back seat.
So what am I supposed to do?
It's just me had to drop momoff to get the rental car.
(03:05):
My truck suited the car seatsbetter, so we kept the car seats
in there.
So I have to clean up all thesegoldfish.
Well, what can I do?
I have to improvise.
I'm a dad, right, so Did whatany other dad would do.
I, I pick, gathered all thestray goldfish up and placed
them back in her snack cup.
Whether the food laid on thefloor got Lost in the seat
(03:25):
cushions, it didn't bother her.
I wasn't about to waste thosedelicious snacks and she
probably she didn't notice.
Okay, and I hope my wifedoesn't hear about this, because
I'm the type of guy that youknow.
Maybe you find a cheerio, afruit loop or something in the
couch.
You know it's probably stillgood.
You know fruit snacks, thoseare good forever.
(03:45):
But this whole experience got methinking about fantasy football
.
And Just because someone dropssomething, drops a player from
their roster doesn't necessarilymean that player is worthless.
Last week you know, you heardabout in our show we witnessed
someone drop the Andre Swift intheir league on waivers right
before Thursday night footballand he goes bananas.
(04:06):
And now he here is back-to-backa hundred-plus yard games.
So another man's trash justmeans another man's treasure,
another man's treasure, okay.
So just like the five-secondrule with drop snacks, it's
essential, guys, to keep youreye on the waiver wire.
In the list of recently droppedplayers in your fantasy
football league you might findthat hidden gym that can boost
(04:29):
your team's performance.
So while I'm going through this, talking about waivers maybe
these guys aren't on yourwaivers now Go check the waiver
wire and see what yourknucklehead brother-in-law, who
he dropped.
It could have been somethingreally good, just like those
goldfish that fell in between myseat, and I'm sure I'll keep
finding them for the months tocome.
Enough talk about the snackthat smiles back.
(04:51):
Not a sponsor, but pull up, butwhat is a sponsor is sleeper,
like I said in, below are myfavorite waiver wire options.
All the roster percentages arebrought to you by sit the
sleeper and they're all below68% rostered.
If you're looking for theultimate fantasy football
experience, it's considerswitching your league to sleeper
today.
They also have some excitingpicks, like I said, and if you
(05:12):
use the promo code dudes 100,they will match up to $100.
All the rankings done in thisepisode are brought to you by
PFF and they were all donebefore Monday night football.
So week for waivers, guys,let's get it started.
I got some graphics on YouTube,so go check it out there and
that way you can screenshotthese, see all the roster
percentages, all that good stuff, and then go to your waiver
(05:35):
wire in case you don't want towrite it down.
All the images are right thereon YouTube.
Go check it out.
I made it real easy for youguys.
So here we go and Starting offquarterbacks, cj Stroud, 32%
rostered, appears to be the bestrookie quarterback this season.
He's really elevated himself.
As QB will end a QB oneterritory probably high QB to
(05:57):
low QB.
One Strouds made Houston'soffense look efficient, which is
something we haven't seen inHouston since to Sean Watson was
throwing up balls to DeAndreHopkins.
So go ahead, check out Stroud.
He's QB to on the season.
So, according to PFF, go checkthat out guys, cj Stroud.
(06:18):
He's playing pretty goodfootball, you know, and this is
a guy that's most likely on yourwaiver wire.
Number two Jordan Love.
He was on the list last week67% rostered, just barely making
the list by 1%, qb 4 for theseason.
Has recorded three consecutive20-point performances and staged
impressive 17-point comeback.
He is still without ChristianWatson, but I love the matchup
(06:40):
this week.
Burst Detroit, qb 5 on theseason.
Go check your waiver wire forChristian Watson.
And this is a boring pick guys Igot.
But it's safe, okay, andsometimes you just wanna be safe
in fantasy football.
Maybe you're projecting a bunchof points.
Who am I kidding?
No one's going for safety infantasy football, but it's on
(07:01):
here anyways.
If you just have a good teamand you just wanna do a nice
little double digit quarterbackplay, I don't know, it's pretty
good.
Brock Purdy 64% rostered.
Probably the safest QB play ofthe week Cardinals against the
Cardinals.
The Cardinals aren't likely toupset two undefeated teams in a
row.
Lock Purdy in for 15 pointsthis week.
(07:21):
Well, I don't see the hugeupside.
Like I said, I do expect.
I do expect a double digitperformance Stream of the week.
This is ugly, just plug yournose and eat it.
Russell Wilson 52% rosteredthis is really gross.
He has a great matchup thisweek versus the Bears.
He's QB eight on the season,guys.
(07:42):
So Russell Wilson and I got theimage here on the screen for
you.
I recapping that I have CJStraub 32% rostered, qb 10 on
the season, jordan Love 67%rostered, qb four on the season.
And Brock Purdy, 64% rostered.
And if you guys are just notdoing good in your fantasy
football, go over to underdog.
(08:03):
It's the dude's favorite placeto play best ball.
They also have some otherfantasy football fun.
You can do drafts with friendsevery week.
Every week has a new weeklydraft.
It's not even a season long.
For as low as $3, win some cash.
It's a nice little.
Maybe your fantasy season?
You're not happy with it?
Maybe you want to draft again.
I am addicted to fantasyfootball.
My favorite part about fantasyfootball is the draft.
(08:25):
So underdog is a great placefor the drafts.
So go check out underdog guys.
Tell them the dude sent youpromo code dudes, they will
match up to $100.
Going into the running backsguys running back room Devon Ayn
chain.
We already talked aboutgoldfish.
We already talked about thedolphins.
Devon A chain is 46% rostered.
(08:45):
He delivered one of thecraziest dolphins performances
since Ronnie Brown's inventionof the Wildcat against the
Patriots.
I believe that was in 2008.
We're just one injury away fromA chain potentially becoming
the bell cow back.
While the dolphins excelledagainst the Broncos, they face a
tougher test this week againstBuffalo.
Regardless, a chain is a mustadd in all fantasy formats.
(09:08):
Okay, rb3 flex play this week,rb4 on the season, with just one
big blow up game.
I think Devon A chain did toomuch for them to not have him
involved.
I don't know what his snappercentages will be from this
point forward.
Like we talked about on ourweek three recap, what happens
to Salvin Ahmed and Jeff Wilson.
(09:30):
Jeff Wilson's been withMcDaniels for a long time.
I think A chain is too talented, too fast to not see the field.
I expect him to start pullingaway this week.
Well, we will really see alittle bit more, though.
So go check your waiver wirefor Devon A chain.
I think it's he said he wantsto be called.
He wants it to be a littledifferent.
I know Adam Schefter tweetedthat this today, but I'm just
(09:55):
going to say what I've beentaught.
You know how I read it andmaybe if he has another blow up
game I'll learn how to read hisname correctly.
Number two, not as exciting,jalen Warren, 63% rostered, is
an unattractive ad but could seemore volume with an injury.
Currently he's getting somework and got 50, 45, sorry Check
there 45% of the snaps onSunday night, compared to Najae
(10:18):
Harris's 50% of the snaps.
And this is just a hold andwait and wait if you can.
He's getting plays.
Maybe you hope the Steelersstart getting blown out and they
put him into catch passes.
He might be more game script,but he's seeing the field where.
You seen the field enough thatyou just want to play him.
And then last, I have Rico.
(10:38):
I Should be able to say this asa Cowboys fan Rico dodle,
dottel, dodle, 4% rosteredscored the only TD for Dallas on
Sunday but played only 14% ofsnaps.
No need to start him as long asPollard's healthy.
Pollard broke his ankle lastyear.
He got turf toe the year before.
Pollard is you know he's alittle bit of a Ferrari.
(11:00):
You know he got a.
You got a.
You know, change the oil, allthat good stuff, check the tires
.
So I would stash Rico for nowbecause that's a good team to
have a starting running back init.
And my other hold is KiantreIngram, backup to James Connor,
who is very injury prone hiswhole entire career.
So add Kiante Ingram.
And again, my whole entire liston YouTube is I have Devon H
(11:23):
Chain, 46% rostered.
Must add Jalen Warren, 63%rostered in.
Rico dodle, 4% rostered, and Ifeel like I am Absolutely
butchering his name.
I am so sorry about that, uncleRico.
Anyways, going gonna throw itover to our wide receivers.
Actually, I got a roll the diceplay here for running backs,
just a nice little fun one.
(11:43):
Latavius Murray has TDs andback-to-back games, ultimate
Running back Bolcher.
He's doing James Cook dirty.
He's even taken some you knowtouchdown rushes from Josh Allen
.
As a guy who has Josh Allen andJames Cook, I really wish that
Latavius Murray would just leavethe bills alone.
So throw it over to the widereceiver.
I have Tank Dell, 48% rostered,must add.
(12:06):
After two consecutive doubledigit games, clearly Stroud's
favorite target.
He had seven targets, fivereceptions, 145 receiving yards
versus the Jaguars.
This week they take onPittsburgh where they likely
will have to throw the ball.
Tank is wide receiver eight onthe season.
He looks really good guys.
Go add your boy.
Tank number two this is alittle 2a2b.
(12:27):
Josh Palmer, 5% rostered in.
Quinton Johnson is 51% rostered,both Considering or considering
.
Mike Williams is most likelyout for season.
I don't know, maybe I've heardthat that's for sure.
It's looking like he's out forseason.
One of these Chargers passcatchers will see increased
volume, while Johnson is thepreferred choice, I think, for
most fancy football people,palmer is also a viable add.
(12:50):
I like Quinton for the higherupside play.
Next, this one shocks me.
Old faithful Adam Thielen, 58%rostered, rostered, put up huge
numbers in week three with AndyDalton throwing the ball.
He faces his former Nate,former team Revenge game,
minnesota Vikings, and he hasrecorded back-to-back double
(13:10):
digit performances.
At the age of 33, thielen iswide receiver.
I'm gonna say he's.
He was wide receiver nine onthe season at the moment I made
this list.
I don't know if Jim R Chase haspassed up with that big Monday
night performance, but Thielenis still getting it done.
Wide receiver for I have.
Marvin Mims, 27% rostered,deserves more Yolo balls from
(13:34):
Russell Wilson.
They need to find a way to getthis rookie the ball more.
He had five targets, threecatches, 73 yards and a kick
return for a touchdown.
So if your league has thosekick returns for touchdowns not
saying they'll happen again, butit's nice having a playmaker
out there, that's, you know,catching kicks I don't know how
many, yeah, you know and they'regetting scored on a lot.
(13:54):
So potentially a lot of kickreturns for him should have a
bigger role in this offense andhas a favorable match matchup
this week against the ChicagoBears.
And speaking to Chicago Bears,there's tickets as low as $2.11
right now.
If you're in the Chicago areaand you want to go to a game I
don't know those are prettycheap tickets.
Maybe you'd rather just, youknow, buy a packet of Hostess
(14:15):
and stay home or use that moneyfor sleeper picks or whatever,
but $2.11 for a nationalfootball league game Sounds like
a steal.
Maybe I shouldn't talk aboutsteals in Chicago After what
happened to their stadium thispast week.
Sorry, it's too soon.
This is the last guy I put to mylist for wide receivers, tutu
Atwell.
(14:35):
He was an addition after theMonday night football game, 65%
rostered and Stafford lockedinto him.
You know he hurt your dudes.
Tonight Pukka needed one morecatch for your dudes to make
some really good cash.
Don't worry, scared money don'tmake money.
We'll be back.
We aren't done yet.
He deserves to be on the listwith those nine targets he got
(14:56):
tonight.
So that is all my widereceivers.
Recapping the wide receivers, Ihave Tankdale 48% rostered.
Josh Palmer and Quinton Johnson.
Johnson at 51%.
Josh Palmer at 5%.
Adam Theland 58% rosteredRevenge game.
Maybe he has one more good gamein the tank We'll see Marvin
Mims 27% rostered.
(15:19):
All right, tight ends myfavorite here.
Tight ends we have and I thinkthis is the biggest beneficiary
from Mike Williams not playing.
Donald Parham could be thebiggest ad here for tight ends.
Williams out for the season.
So far he's been touchdowndependent with three TDs on the
season Standing at six eight.
He is an absolutely ginormousred zone target for Justin
(15:41):
Herbert.
Donald is tight end, six on theseason.
Add Donald to your team.
And then next I have JakeFerguson, again, 34% rostered.
Had the same number of targetsas CD lamb against Arizona.
Look for a deck to keep forcefeeding Ferguson.
Tight end 11 on the season.
Luke Musgrave, still on thelist, 25% rostered.
(16:01):
Saw eight targets on Sunday, isstill trying to find the end
zone.
Tight end 12 on the season.
Not sure if he.
I think he might get betterwhen Watson gets there.
Just take a little pressure offhim.
I know Ferguson Musgrave.
I still think those guys are toolow.
Add them before their touchdownblowups and then, when
everybody wants to add them,honorable mentions I have Sam
LaPorta.
He's up there, guys, this guy'sa monster.
(16:24):
I just I figured I need to addhim because he's 73% rostered.
There's still a good chancehe's on your waiver wire.
I know I said 68%.
Laporta's too good for me tonot mention him.
So be diligent, double checkyour waiver wire.
Also, patriots tight ends I hadHunter Henry is tight end two
on the season.
I believe I don't have that inwriting.
I believe that's what I saw.
(16:46):
Farrow Brown had a huge TD thisweek against the Jets and I
think Hunter Henry returns toform.
Mac Jones loves targeting thebig guys.
Ask Sauce Gardner about that.
Anyways, if you guys enjoyedthis, be sure to check out our
weekly fantasy football podcastor check us out on YouTube.

waiver wire pick I forgot tomention is the modern man.
The modern man's the man whotakes care of himself.

percentages, all that good stuff, and then go to your waiver
(05:35):
wire in case you don't want towrite it down.
All the images are right thereon YouTube.
Go check it out.
I made it real easy for youguys.
So here we go and Starting offquarterbacks, cj Stroud, 32%
rostered, appears to be the bestrookie quarterback this season.
He's really elevated himself.
As QB will end a QB oneterritory probably high QB to
(05:57):
low QB.
One Strouds made Houston'soffense look efficient, which is
something we haven't seen inHouston since to Sean Watson was
throwing up balls to DeAndreHopkins.
So go ahead, check out Stroud.
He's QB to on the season.
So, according to PFF, go checkthat out guys, cj Stroud.
(06:18):
He's playing pretty goodfootball, you know, and this is
a guy that's most likely on yourwaiver wire.
Number two Jordan Love.
He was on the list last week67% rostered, just barely making
the list by 1%, qb 4 for theseason.
Has recorded three consecutive20-point performances and staged
impressive 17-point comeback.
He is still without ChristianWatson, but I love the matchup
(06:40):
this week.
Burst Detroit, qb 5 on theseason.
Go check your waiver wire forChristian Watson.
And this is a boring pick guys Igot.
But it's safe, okay, andsometimes you just wanna be safe
in fantasy football.
Maybe you're projecting a bunchof points.
Who am I kidding?
No one's going for safety infantasy football, but it's on
(07:01):
here anyways.
If you just have a good teamand you just wanna do a nice
little double digit quarterbackplay, I don't know, it's pretty
good.
Brock Purdy 64% rostered.
Probably the safest QB play ofthe week Cardinals against the
Cardinals.
The Cardinals aren't likely toupset two undefeated teams in a
row.
Lock Purdy in for 15 pointsthis week.
(07:21):
Well, I don't see the hugeupside.
Like I said, I do expect.
I do expect a double digitperformance Stream of the week.
This is ugly, just plug yournose and eat it.
Russell Wilson 52% rosteredthis is really gross.
He has a great matchup thisweek versus the Bears.
He's QB eight on the season,guys.
(07:42):
So Russell Wilson and I got theimage here on the screen for
you.
I recapping that I have CJStraub 32% rostered, qb 10 on
the season, jordan Love 67%rostered, qb four on the season.
And Brock Purdy, 64% rostered.
And if you guys are just notdoing good in your fantasy
football, go over to underdog.
(08:03):
It's the dude's favorite placeto play best ball.
They also have some otherfantasy football fun.
You can do drafts with friendsevery week.
Every week has a new weeklydraft.
It's not even a season long.
For as low as $3, win some cash.
It's a nice little.
Maybe your fantasy season?
You're not happy with it?
Maybe you want to draft again.
I am addicted to fantasyfootball.
My favorite part about fantasyfootball is the draft.
(08:25):
So underdog is a great placefor the drafts.
So go check out underdog guys.
Tell them the dude sent youpromo code dudes, they will
match up to $100.
Going into the running backsguys running back room Devon Ayn
chain.
We already talked aboutgoldfish.
We already talked about thedolphins.
Devon A chain is 46% rostered.
(08:45):
He delivered one of thecraziest dolphins performances
since Ronnie Brown's inventionof the Wildcat against the
Patriots.
I believe that was in 2008.
We're just one injury away fromA chain potentially becoming
the bell cow back.
While the dolphins excelledagainst the Broncos, they face a
tougher test this week againstBuffalo.
Regardless, a chain is a mustadd in all fantasy formats.
(09:08):
Okay, rb3 flex play this week,rb4 on the season, with just one
big blow up game.
I think Devon A chain did toomuch for them to not have him
involved.
I don't know what his snappercentages will be from this
point forward.
Like we talked about on ourweek three recap, what happens
to Salvin Ahmed and Jeff Wilson.
(09:30):
Jeff Wilson's been withMcDaniels for a long time.
I think A chain is too talented, too fast to not see the field.
I expect him to start pullingaway this week.
Well, we will really see alittle bit more, though.
So go check your waiver wirefor Devon A chain.
I think it's he said he wantsto be called.
He wants it to be a littledifferent.
I know Adam Schefter tweetedthat this today, but I'm just
(09:55):
going to say what I've beentaught.
You know how I read it andmaybe if he has another blow up
game I'll learn how to read hisname correctly.
Number two, not as exciting,jalen Warren, 63% rostered, is
an unattractive ad but could seemore volume with an injury.
Currently he's getting somework and got 50, 45, sorry Check
there 45% of the snaps onSunday night, compared to Najae
(10:18):
Harris's 50% of the snaps.
And this is just a hold andwait and wait if you can.
He's getting plays.
Maybe you hope the Steelersstart getting blown out and they
put him into catch passes.
He might be more game script,but he's seeing the field where.
You seen the field enough thatyou just want to play him.
And then last, I have Rico.
(10:38):
I Should be able to say this asa Cowboys fan Rico dodle,
dottel, dodle, 4% rosteredscored the only TD for Dallas on
Sunday but played only 14% ofsnaps.
No need to start him as long asPollard's healthy.
Pollard broke his ankle lastyear.
He got turf toe the year before.
Pollard is you know he's alittle bit of a Ferrari.
(11:00):
You know he got a.
You got a.
You know, change the oil, allthat good stuff, check the tires
.
So I would stash Rico for nowbecause that's a good team to
have a starting running back init.
And my other hold is KiantreIngram, backup to James Connor,
who is very injury prone hiswhole entire career.
So add Kiante Ingram.
And again, my whole entire liston YouTube is I have Devon H
(11:23):
Chain, 46% rostered.
Must add Jalen Warren, 63%rostered in.
Rico dodle, 4% rostered, and Ifeel like I am Absolutely
butchering his name.
I am so sorry about that, uncleRico.
Anyways, going gonna throw itover to our wide receivers.
Actually, I got a roll the diceplay here for running backs,
just a nice little fun one.
(11:43):
Latavius Murray has TDs andback-to-back games, ultimate
Running back Bolcher.
He's doing James Cook dirty.
He's even taken some you knowtouchdown rushes from Josh Allen
.
As a guy who has Josh Allen andJames Cook, I really wish that
Latavius Murray would just leavethe bills alone.
So throw it over to the widereceiver.
I have Tank Dell, 48% rostered,must add.
(12:06):
After two consecutive doubledigit games, clearly Stroud's
favorite target.
He had seven targets, fivereceptions, 145 receiving yards
versus the Jaguars.
This week they take onPittsburgh where they likely
will have to throw the ball.
Tank is wide receiver eight onthe season.
He looks really good guys.
Go add your boy.
Tank number two this is alittle 2a2b.
(12:27):
Josh Palmer, 5% rostered in.
Quinton Johnson is 51% rostered,both Considering or considering
.
Mike Williams is most likelyout for season.
I don't know, maybe I've heardthat that's for sure.
It's looking like he's out forseason.
One of these Chargers passcatchers will see increased
volume, while Johnson is thepreferred choice, I think, for
most fancy football people,palmer is also a viable add.
(12:50):
I like Quinton for the higherupside play.
Next, this one shocks me.
Old faithful Adam Thielen, 58%rostered, rostered, put up huge
numbers in week three with AndyDalton throwing the ball.
He faces his former Nate,former team Revenge game,
minnesota Vikings, and he hasrecorded back-to-back double
(13:10):
digit performances.
At the age of 33, thielen iswide receiver.
I'm gonna say he's.
He was wide receiver nine onthe season at the moment I made
this list.
I don't know if Jim R Chase haspassed up with that big Monday
night performance, but Thielenis still getting it done.
Wide receiver for I have.
Marvin Mims, 27% rostered,deserves more Yolo balls from
(13:34):
Russell Wilson.
They need to find a way to getthis rookie the ball more.
He had five targets, threecatches, 73 yards and a kick
return for a touchdown.
So if your league has thosekick returns for touchdowns not
saying they'll happen again, butit's nice having a playmaker
out there, that's, you know,catching kicks I don't know how
many, yeah, you know and they'regetting scored on a lot.
(13:54):
So potentially a lot of kickreturns for him should have a
bigger role in this offense andhas a favorable match matchup
this week against the ChicagoBears.
And speaking to Chicago Bears,there's tickets as low as $2.11
right now.
If you're in the Chicago areaand you want to go to a game I
don't know those are prettycheap tickets.
Maybe you'd rather just, youknow, buy a packet of Hostess
(14:15):
and stay home or use that moneyfor sleeper picks or whatever,
but $2.11 for a nationalfootball league game Sounds like
a steal.
Maybe I shouldn't talk aboutsteals in Chicago After what
happened to their stadium thispast week.
Sorry, it's too soon.
This is the last guy I put to mylist for wide receivers, tutu
Atwell.
(14:35):
He was an addition after theMonday night football game, 65%
rostered and Stafford lockedinto him.
You know he hurt your dudes.
Tonight Pukka needed one morecatch for your dudes to make
some really good cash.
Don't worry, scared money don'tmake money.
We'll be back.
We aren't done yet.
He deserves to be on the listwith those nine targets he got
(14:56):
tonight.
So that is all my widereceivers.
Recapping the wide receivers, Ihave Tankdale 48% rostered.
Josh Palmer and Quinton Johnson.
Johnson at 51%.
Josh Palmer at 5%.
Adam Theland 58% rosteredRevenge game.
Maybe he has one more good gamein the tank We'll see Marvin
Mims 27% rostered.
(15:19):
All right, tight ends myfavorite here.
Tight ends we have and I thinkthis is the biggest beneficiary
from Mike Williams not playing.
Donald Parham could be thebiggest ad here for tight ends.
Williams out for the season.
So far he's been touchdowndependent with three TDs on the
season Standing at six eight.
He is an absolutely ginormousred zone target for Justin
(15:41):
Herbert.
Donald is tight end, six on theseason.
Add Donald to your team.
And then next I have JakeFerguson, again, 34% rostered.
Had the same number of targetsas CD lamb against Arizona.
Look for a deck to keep forcefeeding Ferguson.
Tight end 11 on the season.
Luke Musgrave, still on thelist, 25% rostered.
(16:01):
Saw eight targets on Sunday, isstill trying to find the end
zone.
Tight end 12 on the season.
Not sure if he.
I think he might get betterwhen Watson gets there.
Just take a little pressure offhim.
I know Ferguson Musgrave.
I still think those guys are toolow.
Add them before their touchdownblowups and then, when
everybody wants to add them,honorable mentions I have Sam
LaPorta.
He's up there, guys, this guy'sa monster.
(16:24):
I just I figured I need to addhim because he's 73% rostered.
There's still a good chancehe's on your waiver wire.
I know I said 68%.
Laporta's too good for me tonot mention him.
So be diligent, double checkyour waiver wire.
Also, patriots tight ends I hadHunter Henry is tight end two
on the season.
I believe I don't have that inwriting.
I believe that's what I saw.
(16:46):
Farrow Brown had a huge TD thisweek against the Jets and I
think Hunter Henry returns toform.
Mac Jones loves targeting thebig guys.
Ask Sauce Gardner about that.
