(00:00):
Welcome back to the Fantacy Check.I'm hosted by Faceoff Sports Network, and
today we're gonna be giving you themust add players for your waiver wide a
week three in every single position,not only the running backs, the wide
receivers, but the's height ends andthe quarterbacks. Not gonna take too much
of your time, just briefly diveinto every single player that you must have.

(00:20):
All these players are owned and underfifty percent of ESPN leagues, so
this basically applies to almost everyone.And we are just in the aftermath of
the Nick Chubb injury, which isabsolutely devastating to me now that I think
about it. I have the NickChubb and two of my Dynasty money leagues
and two of my Rejoft money leagues, so I'm depressed. I'm gonna be

(00:42):
talking about Jerome Ford and why youneed to get him. But with that
said, let's just jump straight intoJerome Ford so I can make myself feel
a little better about bidding thirty dollarsa fab on him. Now, I
wouldn't spend a third of your budgeton him unless you're in the same situation
as me where you have Nick Chubbinjured and JK. Dobdon's injured in the

(01:07):
first two weeks. If you haveno other running backs, you needed RB
one that's going to hit. Imean, we saw Jerome Ford had that
potential. He had twenty four pointone points without Nick Chubb. And keep
in mind, I mean Chubb hadten carries, so Ford wasn't really being
used until the second quarter, Ibelieve. So I would spend a fair
amount. I would go around twentyto twenty five. But if you really

(01:30):
need a RB one that's gonna hitand you can't afford if that's your only
shot, but if you really can'tafford to waste all your fab and are
want to be able to make movesdown the road, I wouldn't spend that
much money. But again, JeromeFord has vostered at nine point one percent
of leagues. It's almost a guaranteethat if you're in a shallow redraft league
that you can get Drome Ford.So with Ford, he looked great.

(01:52):
He had a sixty nine yard run. He literally missed a seventy yard run
by one freaking yard. He wasso close. He kind of got tripped
up then and it looked like hewas injured, which scared me very badly.
But he was very efficient. Youever, six point six yards per
touch on the grounds, he wasn'treally used two months as a pass catcher.

(02:12):
Three receptions twenty five yards, buthe didn't have that one touch sound.
So he's getting about the same treatmentas Nick Chubb. You know,
Nick Chubb is gonna get you allthat rushing work and then maybe two to
three receptions. I mean, that'swhy he was getting now without Kareem Hunt.
But yeah, Jeran Ford is mynumber one waiver wire player of the
week across all positions. Definitely anumber one running back. So let's get

(02:35):
into Zach Moss, who is mynumber two waiver wire pickup and number two
running back as well. This isthe week of the running backs. You
gotta go out and get your runningback a place. Everything is happening with
injuries. I don't even know what'sgoing on. It's only week two.
I feel like we are in weeknine with him on the injuries that's going
on in the NFL. But ZackMoss came out here and dominated. He
had eighteen carries and no other runningback touched the ball. It was Anthony

(03:00):
Richardson and Garden minshow you can seein the box score with the only other
two Indianapolis Colts with carries, andZach Moss was very good. There wasn't
no reason why he shouldn't be gainingthese touches. So he had four point
nine yards brook carry a touchdown,only broken eleven yard run. He's not
the most explosive player. But earlyon we were talking about Dion Jackson.

(03:21):
I said, Dion Jackson is agood plug and play, but Zack Moss
had a really good stretch. Leasthe's in he's listened as to RB one
on the Colt step chart. SoI thought that Evan hall claims were ridiculous.
You're never gonna be able to playhim. He's a rookie. Zach
Moss is clearly that guy. Andobviously this comes with the repercussion. And
tell Jonathan Taylor. Once you getJonathan Taylor, you are going to be

(03:44):
very upset if you spend a lotof money or fab on him because he's
not going to see the field almostever again. JT is gonna get that
Leade bellcoll workload where Jerome Ford isgoing to be the RB one for the
foreseeable future. That's the difference betweenthe two. So besides those top two
guys, there aren't really many othergreat options on the waiver wire, but
we do a Roshan Johnson, whoI'm a Bears fan. Roshan is a

(04:06):
player I was extremely excited about,but he's only ross and thirty point five
percent of East fan leagues. Hehad a great Week one with seventeen point
five points, didn't have a cellarWeek two six point two, but that
game was a complete mess. Imean, the Bears is like awful,
and I'm not saying Roshan is goingto have elite level upside because Fields clearly

(04:27):
cannot run the offense. I'm outon Fields. If you want to hear
me talking about Fields as a Bearsfan, I'll just tell you he can't
process reads, he can't make decisions, and he has no confidence. I'm
out on Fields. I just soldhim in Dynasty for T Higgins in a
twenty four first about mid round pick. But that's story for another day.
He's still in an offense that lovesto run the ball, and he's getting

(04:47):
that passing down the work. Yousee. Only had two catches in Week
two, but he had six catchesin Week one, and that's where I
expect him to be at normally aroundthe four to even six catches. Mark
clear Herbert is not getting those passcatching work. Dons a Foreman is a
healthy scratch, so he's no longerin a three man committee and only competing

(05:08):
with Khalil Herbert for the time being. So that's huge for Rochean. Again,
bad offense, but they liked himon the ball, and you're getta
get him at a very cheap price. So if you're watching my last word
wire video, we had Puka thecoup on there and I pray to god
you just went out there spent allyour fab like I did. Now,
that didn't help me save Nick Chubbor preventing JK. Dobbin's injury. But

(05:30):
now I'm extremely stacked at wide receiverswith a league that no one wants to
trade for my good wide receivers.But besides the point Pouka dominated with thirty
point one points, but which beingunderlooked is tu too. At Well has
had two fifteen plus put performances inthe last two games. He looks very
good. The difference is I thinkwith two tu he is probably going to

(05:51):
be very affected by the retarda CooperCup, where Puka looks like he'll be
slanging into that Robert Woods roll.But two, I don't really see him
having much value as a wide receiverthree. Right now, this Ram's offense
looks a lot better than initially expected. Their top three in passing attention per
game, But keep in mind GoogleCups coming back. Hyan Williams got ten

(06:14):
targets last game, and I'm justnot really sure if even though Stafford's good,
you can't really support a wide receiverthree unless you're amazing and elite.
And I don't think he's there yet, but nonetheless at Well clearly as a
talented player. If his situation changes, say Cup missus more time for the
time being, I would start himand as a flex or. If anything

(06:34):
else changes, Williams he's a passcatcher. Pouka somehow dramatically falls off,
I would go roster at Well rightnow. My number two pickup at wide
receiver is Rashid Shahid. I hopeI said that right. But the Saints
deep thart has looked explosive early onthe season. Obviously, you've got Chris
o Lave, Michael Thomas, hasRisen from the dead for now until he

(06:57):
gets inevitably injured. That's another reasonwhy you take Shahid. But Derek Carlock's
very good. It looks like theRaiders are just a dumpster fire of an
organization and the Saints have a prettysolid offense. Now they're not great.
I'd say they're pretty comparable to theRams and these two situations, but Shahid
is showing that he has a repertoireof a car for getting targeted down the
field. He had six targets aweek one four targets this week, where

(07:23):
you see he has the explosiveness toget a twenty point performance. This week
he only had ten points, butagain that's not terrible for someb of your
throwing in your flex and he hasthe potential to get up to a twenty
point game if he ends up connectingwith Derek car and that's very likely.
Christal Lovy is very good, MichaelThomas is very good, but it's clear

(07:43):
Shahid has a much different skill setof being only a deep ball guy and
Carlos to throw that. So Iwould take Shahid if a situation changes.
Michael Thomas injury, bump him upif he native playing in your flex.
I like it. He has aton of upside. Go grab Shahid as
a wide receiver two on the waberwire this week. So for a wide
receiver three, we have Robert Woods, who is thirty one years old,

(08:05):
but he's a sneaky good addition,he averaged eleven points his first game,
thirteen a second game, so he'slooking pretty solid. It's only roster and
six point four percent of leagues now, the Textans are throwing the ball a
ton. Shaw just had a threehundred eighty yard passing game. He looks
very good. He's probably the bestrookie quarterback out there right now, borrowing

(08:26):
an Anthony Richard injury. But itmakes a lot of sense, and I
think we can continue this trend goingforward because the Textans are gonna keep losing.
They're not a good team, sothey are gonna be trailing. Sean
is gonna have to throw the balla ton they're gonna be behind. And
Robert Woods is a talented player.He is a veteran and he just fits

(08:48):
with what Shad needs as a checkdowntype guy. Now, Nico Collins is
obviously the wide receiver ones offense,but I'm taking Robert Woods over tankedal any
day we've seen would be productive.He is old, but he just has
that safe floor and he could possiblygrow into a flex role tank Dell.
We've never seen a player be assmall as him and be successful, especially

(09:09):
not a rookie. I'm out ontank deal. What does roster and only
six point four percent of league,So if he has a sneaky pickup,
go Greg Wilbert Woods heading over thetight end edition. If you don't have
a Hanrod Henry by now, Idon't really know what you're doing. I
thought Mike Asiki was the guy,but I quickly corrected. It's clearly not
und Henry saw six targets his firstgame, seven to a second game.

(09:31):
It's clear mac Jones is much betterand likes it though to his tight end.
We've known that that's how the Patrisoperate, but mac Jones also fits
this scheme very well. He's hada much much better season with an actual
offensive coordinator and hunterd. Henry ispretty talented. I mean, yes,
he did have a touchdown each ofthese games bumping it up, but he

(09:52):
had sixteen points first week seventeen.A second week when going for a tight
end, you have to go fora guy that has a chance to get
a touchdown every week. The positionsare so volatile that really the only way
you can win is by getting lucky. Chasing touchdown upside or drafting a stud
tight end is such a crapshoot.But Hunter and Henry needs to be on
the roster after this week. Idon't expect him to be this low at

(10:16):
thirty four point six percent any longer. He's definitely gonna be climbing up these
ranks. Next up, we haveJake Ferguson, who's roster and twelve point
four percent of leagues now. Weekone, he had a rough start.
He had three point one points.A lot of guys were saying, where's
Zake Ferguson. It looks like hewas gonna take over the Dalton Schuld Troll.
Cowboys allowed to feed their tight ends. It was one game he still

(10:37):
have seven targets. It just didn'treally fit the game script. That was
such a weird game. Now wesee the Cowboys dropping thirty on the Jets
and Ferguson has ten points on onlyfour targets. Now, we did have
that Touchdownd, but still keep inmind he had seven targets week one and
he is extremely young. So Cowboysare a great system for tight ends,

(11:03):
almost similar to the Patriots. DaltonShorts is an incredible talent. You probably
didn't heard anything about schultze'sier now thathe's with the Texans. So Ferguson is
a pretty good player in a greatsystem. Go pick him up again.
He has upside unless all that youcan really ask for in a tight end.
Now for our last two guys,it pains me to say this,
but as a Bears fan, JordanLove looks great and I don't know why,

(11:28):
but I am the biggest Christian Watsonfan. I know this goes against
everything I stand for, but Ilove Christian Watson and the fact that Love
is doing this without Christian Watson.Dobbs has been pretty banged up and he
really is just stepping into his firsttwo games of his career essentially so when
his first week against the Bearers hehad twenty three Fantasy points and this week

(11:50):
against the Falcons not a great passinggame, but he's still three touchdowns no
interceptions, which let the twenty points. I think his situation is getting get
much better. When Watson comes backand he's gonna be able to excel on
that. He's under fifty percent.Roster at thirty nine point eight right now,
go grab love if you need aquarterback. And at number two,

(12:11):
we have our boy. We hadhim here last week. We're gonna have
him here every single week until hegets about fifty percent. Sam, how
is legit? He had fifteen pointone eight points Week one, you know,
not a great game, but Weektwo he showed out, passing four
almost three hundred yards, two touchdounds, zero interceptions as well as you know,

(12:35):
he didn't really run the ball asmuch. But we saw a Week
one he had that rusting touchdound.So how is that guy? Almost seventy
percent completion? I get it.It's against the Broncos. They're not great,
but still twenty one point two sixpoints? Yeah, how is going
to be that guy? Go gethow? I love him? Please roster
Sam? How if I mean anythingto you? But that's gonna wrap things

(12:58):
up again. To recap, Iget Ford and Zach Moss above everything.
Other than that, just use theserankings as what you need. If you
need a wide receiver, go grabone of these guys. Nia quarterback.
Go grab one of these guys.Need a tight end, Go grab one
of these guys, but please pleasedon't let forward. If you can get
him, don't let him slip throughyour fingers. If you can get Zach

(13:20):
Moss and you need a running backthis week or next week, please please
please grab him before Jonathan Taylor comesback. And he is absolutely worthless.
So if you have any questions atall, drop it down below. We'll
get back. We'll answer you oneof these future episodes. But thank you
so much for watching, and I'llsee you guys in the next one.
