0:00I'm a hit.
0:07I'm a
0:08>> week nine of the fantasy football season
0:10was disgusting. But now we head into
0:12week 10 and we still have a ton of
0:15questions, Kyle. We have a ton of
0:16injuries to go through once again and
0:18we're going to have to like empty the
0:20clip when we look at the waiver wire
0:21this week because we're we're starting
0:23to run dry. There's not a lot of great
0:25options. However, there are a few names
0:27that are still pretty lowly owned that
0:29maybe they can help your team.
0:31>> Jake, this was more disgusting than your
0:34bathroom after a trip to White Castle.
0:37>> That's bad. That was I If it's bad
0:40enough to remember, you know, it was bad
0:41to begin with. Uh let's go ahead and
0:44start off with some injuries, though.
0:45We're going to go through player
0:46injuries from last week, upcoming by
0:47weeks, and week 10, the must add players
0:50for this week. We'll go through some
0:51waiverwire power rankings, starter
0:53stash, fab budget recommendations,
0:55streaming quarterbacks, streaming D's,
0:57and there are timestamps to everything
0:59down below. So, you can feel free to go
1:02to whatever section you would like. Just
1:03hit the like button on your way. But
1:05we'll start off with some injuries
1:06because we have bigname injuries once
1:09again. And it seems like this is a
1:11reoccurring theme each and every week.
1:13The laundry list of injuries is just not
1:16slowing down. At the top of the list, we
1:17got Jaylen Wadd. He's in concussion
1:19protocol. Luckily, he's about to go on
1:21the buy, though, so hopefully he's good
1:23by the next time they play. But then on
1:24the other hand, doesn't really matter
1:27because he hasn't done a whole lot this
1:29season anyway. Uh, how about George
1:31Piggin? George Piggin didn't even play
1:33this week. He missed week nine with a
1:34hamstring injury. This one is a little
1:37odd to me. I mean, we found out out
1:39about it before the game was played, but
1:42for some reason, I felt like Pickkins
1:43was going to go ahead and suit it up,
1:44and it just it just didn't happen. Yeah,
1:47it felt like it trended down worse and
1:50worse as the week went on and I I wasn't
1:53even really expecting it to be a major
1:55issue until we got to like Friday.
1:57>> Yep. Yep. Patrick Mahomes.
2:00All right, Kyle, I'm not going to rant
2:01too much cuz this video is going to be
2:03long, but I am getting sick and tired of
2:05dudes acting like they're dying on the
2:07field just to go out the next series and
2:09look absolutely fine. Patrick Mahomes
2:10was walking like his arm was about to
2:12fall off. We're all like, damn, did he
2:14break his arm? Did he dislocate his
2:16shoulder? Like, what just happened? I
2:18mean, it was a nasty hit that he took
2:19mid throwing motion. I mean, he's
2:22walking in some serious pain and he's
2:23out there the next series running and
2:25throwing and looks completely fine. He
2:27already had his MRI. Nothing major was
2:29found. Yeah, we'll see if anything else
2:31comes out of it. From what we hear right
2:33now, sprain, strain type of an issue.
2:36Maybe it takes a week or so. We'll see
2:38if it there's any effect on them this
2:40coming week. But it looked bad. I
2:42thought we were looking at like a break
2:44or something to begin with when he was
2:46first walking off the field. So, we'll
2:48keep our fingers crossed. It's nothing
2:50more than that because there's some
2:51fantasy value tied to that offense just
2:53outside of Mahomes himself.
2:54>> Yep. After that is Josh Jacobs. Has a
2:56fractured finger. Uh more than likely,
2:59if I had to guess, we probably don't see
3:00him for a a little bit of time. It's
3:02really I I feel like at the running back
3:05position, it's important to be able to
3:06grip things. And if you cannot like
3:09this, Kyle, if you cannot if you cannot
3:11grip tightly with both hands, it's a
3:13liability. So, we could be without Josh
3:15Jacobs and his pass catching upside for
3:17a little bit.
3:18>> Yeah, that was an interesting
3:19demonstration there.
3:20>> I wanted to make sure everybody got a
3:21visual. You know what I mean? Uh, how
3:23about Jake Ferguson? Hasn't done a whole
3:25lot this year. Suffered a knee injury.
3:26They're saying it's a potential MCL.
3:28That could lead to some mis time if so.
3:30But then after that is your boy. It's JJ
3:33McCarthy. another guy who looked like he
3:36was in the worst pain of his life.
3:38Collapsed throwing a ball on the
3:39sidelines and then went back into the
3:41game and continued to throw the football
3:43down the field. Uh really don't really
3:46understand what's going on with him just
3:47yet. He took a nasty shot like in the
3:49side like the ribs kidney type area, but
3:51he came back in. So he came back in.
3:53He's already come out and said if I can
3:54throw a football, if I can play, I'm I'm
3:56going to play. Uh I don't know if we
3:58want to count him in just yet for week
4:0010, though. Uh, no. Maybe just jarred uh
4:04poop loose. Maybe he just had some
4:06constipation, got hit just right, came
4:08loose, had to go to the bathroom real
4:09quick.
4:09>> That's entirely possible. How about Lad
4:12McConi? Uh, once again, the 2026 Woody
4:16Marks in the medical tent, hurt once
4:18again. Had back spasms before the game.
4:20Uh, I even put in the notes for this
4:21one, water is wet because Lad McConi
4:24cannot stay healthy. It seems like every
4:26week a new injury is popping up. But
4:29more concerning to me is that the
4:31offense didn't look any better after the
4:32buy. So I think we're in it for the long
4:34haul.
4:35>> Yeah. I at this point I think I hate to
4:37say it, but if you're holding Lad
4:39McConi, you're just going to have to
4:40leave him on the bench for an extended
4:42period until he can actually play and
4:44play a couple of full games, not miss
4:46time. I like how they came out before
4:48the game and like, hey, uh, Harbaugh
4:50told McDaniel to to feature Omari on
4:53Hampton more. We need to get this guy
4:54more touches. What a damn rug pull that
4:57was. Uh, Terrence Ferguson suffered a
4:59hamstring injury. Xavier Worthy suffered
5:02a hamstring injury. Really wait really
5:04waiting to find out what the severity is
5:05on those, but I expect missed time. The
5:07bigger one, Puka Nua, he has an MRI
5:10scheduled for today on his knee. He had
5:12a noticeable limp after the game. I
5:14believe it was the last offensive play
5:16of the game for him where he took the
5:17hit, which is
5:19>> stupid.
5:20>> It's got to be the worst, right? Like
5:21you make it all game long and he had
5:23like 19 targets. you know, he's getting
5:25in and what I would say overworked and
5:27then to take a hit like that the last
5:29play of the game. Hopefully, he's okay.
5:31I'm a little bit concerned for the
5:33immediate future. Uh Drew Lock suffered
5:36an oblique injury. What does that look
5:38like? Does Sam Darnold return this week?
5:39We still don't know. Raandre Stevenson
5:42came out with a knee injury. He didn't
5:44go back into the game, but they were
5:46also the game was kind of out of hand.
5:47So, I don't know if he could have gone
5:49back in if they absolutely needed him
5:51to. Yeah, the the knee injury is
5:53something that we'll keep an eye on. He
5:55wasn't it wasn't really needed for him
5:57to go back in. They just like kind of
5:58take the rest of the the game there. So,
6:00we'll see if any news pops up, but
6:02obviously if it is serious, that's
6:04that's going to be a blow to our lineups
6:06that are probably already having issues.
6:08Yep. Then Justin Herbert an issue to his
6:11non-throwing hand. Dude was wearing like
6:13a clown glo. He looked like a soccer
6:14goalie out there. It was like this big
6:16huge oversized glove. He didn't come
6:18back into the game. Then we got Omar
6:20Cooper Jr. He reinjured the same ankle
6:23he's already had issues with that. It
6:25caused him to miss four games earlier
6:27this year. So, I am expecting that we do
6:28not have Omar Cooper once again for a
6:31couple weeks. That's already an offense
6:32that didn't have Garrett Wilson this
6:34week either.
6:35>> Yeah. Uh Adani Mitchell could step in.
6:38He had seven targets last week. Couldn't
6:39catch any of them. Uh I don't know how
6:41many of them were actually catchable.
6:43Still have Kenyan Sadique. You know,
6:45they they've got enough weapons there to
6:47keep moving forward. Bree Hall came
6:48back. Um, but Cooper's been very good
6:51this season and after kind of a week off
6:54last week, came back and was strong this
6:56week. So, unfortunate to see him injure.
6:57>> Uh, I did include Tyler Goodson and some
7:00people may why did you include him?
7:02Because if I didn't include him here,
7:03you're going to be asking why he wasn't
7:05included in the must add section because
7:06he seems to be somebody getting
7:08consistent touches in the back field of
7:10Dallas. Now, obviously with this injury
7:12to his knee, we don't know the extent of
7:13it yet, but I'm not going to recommend
7:15picking somebody up who had a knee
7:16injury the week prior. And then Luther
7:19Burton, he suffered a nasty concussion.
7:21He was basically knocked unconscious.
7:22Dude was running down the sidelines and
7:24just went limp after he took the hit in
7:26the side of the head. Kind of a dirty
7:28hit. Dude left with his helmet. Didn't
7:30really, you know, help the situation at
7:32all. They lost the fumble. But they're
7:34about to go on the by-week as well. So
7:35hopefully he's good to go by the time
7:37they return in week 11. But we'll have
7:39to wait and see.
7:40>> Yeah. Yeah. All right.
7:41>> But what do we have for the upcoming
7:42byweeks? We got those guys. Some of them
7:45might be missing, but we have some guys
7:46we definitely will be missing next week.
7:48>> 100%. We got four teams on by in week
7:5010. The Chicago Bears we just mentioned.
7:52So, Caleb Williams, DeAndre Swift,
7:54Luther Burton, Romo Dunay, Coloulston
7:56Lovelin, not available. Get them out of
7:58your lineup. The Denver Broncos are on a
8:00buy. So, Bone Knicks, Jonah Coleman. I
8:03put Jaylen Wadd. I don't know if too
8:04many people are starting him right now.
8:06The Eagles. So, no Saquon Barkley, Mai
8:08Lemon, Devonte Smith obviously still
8:10won't play. And then Dallas Goddard as
8:11well. And then for the Bucks, Baker
8:13Mayfield, Bucky Irving is a huge loss
8:15there. And then Amecha Ibuku, who really
8:17hasn't done much here as of late either,
8:19but none of those guys will be playing
8:21football in week 10. They're all on a
8:23buy. So, we're going to move into the
8:25players that you need to look at adding
8:26this week if you need a little bit of
8:28help. But right off the bat, how we have
8:30said these names I don't know how many
8:32weeks in a row. And I'm going to I don't
8:34want to keep cluttering up the same
8:35names over and over. They're they're
8:37handcuffed running backs. guys like EMTT
8:39Johnson, Kayn Black, Mike Washington,
8:42and Kenneth Gainwell.
8:44I could put him on the top of the list
8:46for like the 17th straight week it feels
8:47like. But if you own either Kenneth
8:50Walker, Christian McCaffrey, Ashton
8:51Genty, Bucky Irving, these guys probably
8:53need to be on the bottom of your bench
8:55as somebody you need to go out and get
8:56and grab, especially late in the season
8:58here.
8:58>> Yeah, with all the injuries that we're
9:00having at this point, depth is really
9:03running thin. And if you've got top guys
9:05that you're relying on every single
9:06week, if you do not have the backups and
9:09you were to lose them, it's going to be
9:11a feeding frenzy on the waiver while
9:13you're trying to get them.
9:14>> Yeah, I would say that if anything
9:15happens to these lead backs for these
9:17four guys,
9:18>> it's going to be the the empty the fab
9:20budget on them because they're going to
9:22be the the workhorse rest of season.
9:23>> Especially Kenneth Walker or uh
9:26Christian McCaffrey. If either of them
9:28were to go down, anybody that's got 100%
9:30of their budget left, they're spinning
9:31it all right then.
9:33Exactly. So, let's move into some of the
9:35guys we're going to talk about here this
9:36week. No specific order just yet. At the
9:38top of the list, though, is Chris
9:40Rodriguez, Jacksonville Jaguars. 41%
9:42owned going up against Tennessee. We
9:44know that Bichel Tutin is less than 100%
9:47healthy and both of these guys had 12
9:49touches in the game last week. But
9:51here's my thought. It seems like the
9:53Jags are blowing people out left and
9:55right. So, if that's the case, we're
9:57probably going to see a little bit more
9:58of a split to keep both these guys
10:00fresh. Yeah, wouldn't be shocked to
10:02continue to see Chris Rodriguez get some
10:05pretty solid double-digit touch weeks
10:06and uh obviously to begin the season, he
10:09was used in the red zone quite a bit. He
10:11still continues to score touchdowns here
10:12or there, so probably will still happen.
10:14>> Yeah, and it's an offense that's going
10:16to score a lot of touchdowns, so he'll
10:17always have those chances. Then we have
10:19Esté of the New Orleans Saints. Sounds
10:21disgusting to even say this. He's 10%
10:23owned going up against Carolina, so the
10:25the matchup is solid. He led the
10:27backfield with 16 touches. He had 77
10:29total yards and a touchdown, but I don't
10:31really feel like he has long-term value
10:33because at some point Travis Achan is
10:35going to come back and that's really
10:36where this backfield is going to go back
10:38to.
10:38>> Yeah, we'll see how the practice window
10:40goes for Travis Aan over the next couple
10:42of weeks here. Uh, but with Audrey Esté,
10:45maybe you could utilize him, but I
10:48wouldn't be shocked if you pick him up.
10:49And then Alvin Kamar isn't the guy next
10:50week either.
10:51>> It wouldn't surprise me whatsoever. Then
10:53Dylan Samson of the Cleveland Browns.
10:54He's 36% owned going up against Houston.
10:57Not a great matchup going up against
10:58Houston. They are much easier to throw
11:00on than run on. But Dylan Samson's
11:02averaging right around 10 fantasy points
11:04per game over his last three in PPR
11:06scoring. He will never lead this
11:07backfield in touches, but he does have
11:1016 targets over the last three games.
11:12>> Yeah, if he can get five carries and
11:15five targets, six targets in a game,
11:17that's going to give him more than
11:18enough opportunity to be able to put
11:20together some fantasy points, especially
11:21considering how weak a lot of lineups
11:24are right now. uh Caleb Johnson of the
11:26Green Bay Packers. We talked about the
11:27injury to Josh Jacobs. We already know
11:29that Marshon Lloyd is out as well. So,
11:31if we don't have Jacobs or Lloyd, we
11:33could be looking at a shortterm burst of
11:36usage of Caleb Johnson. The bad part is
11:39he's going up against Minnesota this
11:41week. So, it's not like it's the
11:42greatest matchup, but he is only 3%
11:44owned. A lot of people got rid of all
11:46the other running backs in Green Bay.
11:48Once Josh Jacobs returned, if you need
11:50immediate help due to byweeks, he could
11:52be out there in your leagues. And we use
11:55the word help loosely because he could
11:56help fill a spot in your lineup.
11:58>> Yeah, he could help fill out a roster
11:59spot
12:00>> with maybe five points.
12:02>> That's even being a little bit generous
12:04if I had to guess. The next guy, Cory
12:06Ker in New England. We talked about the
12:08injury to Raandre Stevenson. We know
12:10that Trayvon Henderson is not on the
12:11field right now. Kinder's only 7% owned.
12:14Another tougher matchup going up against
12:16Detroit, who's easier to throw on than
12:18run on. Uh but Cory Ker could be in line
12:21for the lead back role here in week 10.
12:23Yeah, and this game is over in Spain,
12:24too, which games are always weird
12:26overseas, it seems like, from time to
12:28time. Uh, we'll see what happens with
12:30Raandre Stevenson over the next couple
12:32of days. Detroit just shut down Ali
12:33Gordon, who had been playing really,
12:35really well. Uh, kinder has a very, very
12:38low ceiling, but again, kind of like
12:39Caleb Johnson, like somebody that could
12:41help fill your lineup if needed. Uh,
12:43Justice Hill on the list as well of
12:44Baltimore. He's 10% owned going up
12:46against the Chargers. He had a 65 yd
12:49touchdown run. And if he didn't have
12:51that touchdown run, we're probably not
12:54talking about Justice Hill. But so many
12:55people look at the inbox scores or the
12:57fantasy points. If we don't include him,
12:59they're going to want to know why. Maybe
13:02he gets a few more opportunities. Maybe
13:04the offense is a little bit better with
13:06Jacobe Brassette under center. So, we
13:08included him here on the list.
13:09>> Yeah. And that's the thing for me, like
13:10Jacobe Brassette coming in, how is that
13:12offense going to look over the next
13:13week? Does he utilize Justice Hill?
13:15Justice Hill is playing almost 100% of
13:18the third down snaps. Uh, and for as bad
13:22as this offense has been as of late,
13:24wouldn't be shocked to continue to see
13:26him out there and maybe Brassette looks
13:27his ways. He gets a little bit more
13:28comfortable in the offense.
13:30>> I think it's safe to say that Baltimore
13:31reaches a lot of third downs.
13:33>> A lot.
13:34>> A lot of third downs in Baltimore. How
13:36about next on the list is Seth McGowan,
13:37Indianapolis Colts. He's creeping up.
13:39He's at 47% owned. They're going up
13:41against Miami.
13:43Nobody really knows what's going to
13:45happen for sure today with Jonathan
13:46Taylor. It sounds like they were going
13:48to and then they weren't going to and
13:50now there's a chance they're going to.
13:51His press conference last night made it
13:53seem like he was saying goodbye
13:54potentially. No one really knows, but
13:57what we do know is that if Seth McGawan
13:59gets an opportunity, at least it's
14:01another plug-andplay guy that you can
14:02throw into your roster because he'd see
14:04the volume.
14:05>> And honestly, it the best move for
14:07Indianapolis, the best move for Jonathan
14:08Taylor would be to trade him. I don't
14:10think it it makes any sense for JT to
14:12continue to stay in Indianapolis. Um
14:15it's it sounded like the Jets offered a
14:18second round and a fifth round pick and
14:20then they came back and they pulled the
14:22offer. So I'm not exactly sure what the
14:25offers are out there, but there's
14:27there's enough injuries right now that
14:29somebody would love to have JT on their
14:32team
14:33>> 100%. I'm trying to think like off the
14:34top of my head, where would I want him
14:36to go?
14:38>> And I just don't know.
14:39>> I like New York. I mean, I think the
14:41Giants would be really, really good.
14:43>> I just love
14:44>> Minnesota's been in the conversation. I
14:46don't think that's going to happen. They
14:48have they have Mason, they have Aaron
14:50Jones. I just can't see them spending
14:51draft capital to add Jonathan Taylor.
14:54Um,
14:54>> I think if their quarterback situation
14:56was solidified, maybe they do it, but
14:58>> yeah,
14:59>> they have problems there as well.
15:00>> Somebody said something that like
15:02Seattle's name popped up. I really don't
15:04believe in Seattle being a place either.
15:06So, other than that, I mean, the New
15:09York seems to be the one that makes the
15:11most sense.
15:13>> Yeah, I that I would agree. Let's move
15:14on to some wide receivers. Tang Dell on
15:16the list. He's only 27% owned. When we
15:19put his name on here, I expected this to
15:20be a lot higher, but still only 27%
15:23owned going up against Cleveland. His
15:25workload jumped in his second game back.
15:27Had nine targets, four catches, 105
15:29yards, and a touchdown. and Houston has
15:31already come out and said, "Hey, we're
15:32going to slowly ramp this guy up." Well,
15:34if this is where he's at at two games,
15:37what's it going to look like? And it
15:38makes me really think, why did you go
15:40out and get Marvin Harrison Jr.? I mean,
15:42all of a sudden, Kan Booty's popping
15:44off. Tank Dell is popping off. Nico
15:45Collins is making stupid, ridiculous,
15:48crazy catches. Xavier Hutchinson is
15:50scoring touchdowns. And Marv is nowhere
15:52to be found. And it sounds like Tank
15:54Dell is probably going to get his roll
15:56back that we saw a couple years ago.
15:58>> Some of that could be the Chargers just
15:59suck. That is probably that's probably
16:03everywhere.
16:04>> He thought their offense was bad. Their
16:06defense wasn't much better. Um Deario
16:08Douglas of the New England Patriots, 44%
16:11own. He still hasn't crossed 50%
16:12ownership. Uh they're going up against
16:14Detroit. He's now had 10 plus fantasy
16:17points in four of his last five games
16:19and just saw a season high nine targets.
16:22>> Yeah. And great matchup this week.
16:23Detroit's been playing better. They have
16:25been playing better.
16:26>> They have been playing better.
16:27>> Still missing some guys on the defensive
16:28side of the ball. Well, we'll see if
16:29they get a little bit more healthy this
16:31coming week.
16:31>> Uh Adnai Mitchell, hopefully he he can
16:36catch a target or two from now on. He's
16:3863% owned. He's the highest owned uh
16:40name on this list. They're going up
16:42against Buffalo, but I included him due
16:43to the injury of Omar Cooper and we know
16:46that Garrett Wilson did not play.
16:48Somebody's going to have to catch some
16:49footballs. Adnai Mitchell has flashed as
16:51a big-time target in the past and in the
16:54past and they're going to need him
16:55against Buffalo. If they want to have
16:56any chance at beating the Bills, they're
16:57going to have to throw the football.
16:58>> Yeah. And obviously Buffalo hasn't
17:00played yet because they play on Monday
17:01night. We record this video Monday
17:03morning. So not exactly sure what will
17:05happen on Monday Night Football, but as
17:06of right now, Buffalo, their defense can
17:09give up quite a few plays. Uh after
17:11that, we got a couple New England wide
17:12receivers. M. Hollands came back off of
17:14injury. He's only 8% owned. Um we also
17:17had we have Eff Chisum, too. So we got
17:20Demario Douglas, M. Hollands, and Eff
17:22Chisum all here on the list. It's like
17:25it's like Patriots Monday here. uh just
17:27due to all the injuries. But with AJ
17:29Brown out, both M. Hollands and Eff
17:31Chisum are going to have a role because
17:33remember, we still don't have Romeo
17:34Dobs. He's still a few weeks away as
17:36well.
17:37>> Hunter Henry was banged up coming into
17:38the week, too. He played, but he was not
17:40100%.
17:40>> Not 100% healthy. And with with those
17:42other injuries, guys like M. Holland and
17:44Eff Chisum are going to continue to get
17:46targets down the field and in the red
17:47zone.
17:48>> Yeah, I would say like your best bet is
17:50Deario Douglas, Matt Collins, Eton
17:52Chisum.
17:54touchdown wise wouldn't shock me if
17:56Effton Chisum sees a few more looks in
17:58the red zone.
17:59>> Yep. Uh I would agree with that as well.
18:01Then we get Caleb Douglas. He's 50%
18:03owned. I don't know why people aren't
18:05investing more in Caleb Douglas. We've
18:07been saying this for weeks. Uh Miami
18:08Dolphins wide receiver. He's going up
18:10against Indianapolis. He's now had six
18:11plus targets in three of his five games.
18:14And he is at this point the clear number
18:17one option in this passing offense. It
18:19was going back and forth between him and
18:20Malik Washington, but it seems like
18:22Malik Washington is just kind of living
18:24underneath and when they're pushing the
18:25ball down the field, it's going to Caleb
18:27Douglas.
18:28>> Yeah.
18:30And I like how you say like he's the
18:32clear number one. And because to me, I
18:34just laugh and I'm like, he is the clear
18:36number one,
18:36>> which is not great.
18:37>> And then he'll disappear next week and
18:39everyone be like, I thought you said he
18:40was the clear number one.
18:41>> Yeah. Ex. Yeah. At some point Chris Bell
18:43will pop off or something. And yeah,
18:45100% agree with that. How about Van
18:46Jefferson? I don't think I've said Van
18:48Jefferson's name since he was a Ram
18:50multiple years ago. But here's what's
18:53crazy. He's 0% own. If you don't even
18:54know, he plays for the Washington
18:56Commanders. They're going up against the
18:57Giants. He had zero catches on the
19:00season coming in to last week. He was on
19:03the practice squad. Then they bring him
19:06up and he leads the team in receiving
19:08against the Rams.
19:10Is it something we can count on weekly?
19:12I I don't believe so. It doesn't make a
19:15whole lot of sense to me, but he was
19:16just one of those guys last week that
19:18benefited from the opportunity that he
19:20got.
19:21>> It was a revenge game.
19:23>> It's like the only reason they did it,
19:24wasn't it?
19:25>> Yep. They brought him up for the revenge
19:27game and they're going to send it back
19:29down.
19:29>> Send him back down to the practice
19:31squad. That would be hilarious. Uh Pat
19:34Bryant of the Denver Broncos, 8% own.
19:36They're going to be on buy, but he's a
19:38name that was relevant before his ankle
19:40injury. Then he comes back off of injury
19:42and immediately has 50 yards and a
19:44touchdown. So it seems to me at right
19:46now that he's going to probably be the
19:48safest passcatching option in Denver. It
19:52was like that before. He came right back
19:53into his normal role. We know that
19:54Jaylen Waddle had a concussion. Is he
19:57limited at all coming back off the buy?
19:59But for right now, Pat Bryant seems like
20:01it's not great, right? It's not like
20:03you're you're you're chomping at the bit
20:05to pick up and start Pat Bryant, but he
20:07seems like the safest part of the
20:09offense. What in the f is going on in
20:11Denver,
20:12>> bro? I don't know. Like I don't
20:14>> I the the Chargers get so much flak and
20:18rightfully so because they've been
20:19terrible.
20:19>> They're horrible cuz the Broncos are
20:21winning games still.
20:22>> That's the thing. Like I don't feel like
20:24enough people are like, "What are the
20:25Broncos doing?" Like Bo Knicks hasn't
20:27been great. Jonah Coleman has been like
20:29a bright light the last couple of weeks.
20:31He gets an opportunity with R.J. Harvey
20:33injured, but you spent all this draft
20:35capital on Jaylen Warren. Jaylen Mo
20:37Jaylen Wadd and like he hasn't been
20:40utilized all year long. I don't know
20:43what in the world they're doing out
20:44there. Shawn Payeyton might be one of my
20:46least favorite coaches if I'm being
20:47honest.
20:47>> Did you see that he accused a reporter
20:49of smoking in the press conference
20:50Edwards and it was just a pencil?
20:52>> It was a pencil. What is this 1954?
20:56We're just ripping sakes in the middle
20:57of the middle of postgame press or holy
21:00darts in the post game. Yeah, it's
21:02>> he's he may be getting a little scene
21:04now. That reminded me of like an old man
21:05get off my lawn type moment.
21:07>> God, put him and Mike McCarthy and
21:09Jordan Watkins same bus and drive it
21:11into the ocean.
21:14>> Wow. That was
21:14>> FBI is showing up now.
21:16>> Yeah, you are in trouble. Um hopefully
21:19they don't have a bus that ends up in
21:20the ocean. You're going to be in so much
21:22trouble. Uh Jordan Watkins of the San
21:24Francisco 49ers only 4% owned. They're
21:27going up against Dallas. Everyone is
21:29hurt in San Francisco. We still don't
21:30have Mike Evans or Debo Samuel or
21:32Christian Kirk. We could also say
21:34Demarcus Robinson's name here. But
21:36here's the issue. Whoever is healthy is
21:39going to have an opportunity each week
21:41in San Francisco because the offense is
21:43that good. The problem is you and me
21:47have no idea who it's going to be each
21:50week. Last week's flavor of the week was
21:53Jordan Watkins. Could it happen again
21:56below average Dallas defense? Sure.
21:59Could it be Demarcus Robinson? Of course
22:02it could. You're going to have to play
22:03weekly whack-a-ole and just hope that
22:05you guess the right one.
22:07>> When you said
22:09when you said if you're healthy, I
22:11wanted I wanted to respond with you're
22:14just going to get hurt anyway.
22:15>> Just going to get hurt. I mean, it it's
22:17a foregone conclusion at this point.
22:19>> Here come Jordan Watkins. He's going
22:20down next week with a knee injury.
22:22>> Yeah. It just seems that's how it feels
22:24like in 2026 is like you just can't keep
22:26anybody healthy for multiple weeks. Uh,
22:28Tutu Atwell's name is on the list. Can't
22:31believe I just said that. Two, he's 0%
22:33owned and it's for a reason. It's
22:35because he doesn't get much work. But if
22:37Puka were to miss time, 22 Atwell would
22:41be the next man up. He had five targets.
22:44He's been in this offense for a long
22:46time. Sure, he left for a little bit. He
22:48came back. He's a little bit more of a
22:49deep threat guy. Maybe not somebody we
22:51can count on, but if we have no Puka,
22:53it's really Canata Mumfield. It's 22
22:55Atwell. Mumfield hasn't done much of
22:57anything all year either.
22:59>> Yeah, it's again, throw a dart, see what
23:01happens. But I'm sure somebody out there
23:03is going to be like, who do I get from
23:05the Rams if Puka is out?
23:07>> Yeah. Uh they're going to ask for sure.
23:09There is no clearcut this is the guy you
23:11want to pick up and the guy you want to
23:13start. We can't even say that about any
23:14of their tight ends at this point
23:15because that usage is all over the
23:17place. Then we get a couple tight ends.
23:19Darren Waller's name is on the list.
23:20He's 14% owned. He hadn't had more than
23:23two targets in a game since week four.
23:26And then he comes out in week nine and
23:29absolutely explodes. I know people will
23:31want to know about it. Do I feel like
23:33the explosion that we just saw in week
23:35nine is the new normal? I really don't
23:38because Bryce Young likes himself some
23:40Tommy Tremble as well.
23:42>> I I am not investing in any of the
23:45Carolina tight ends. We've seen this
23:47before. Yep.
23:48>> Everyone thought Darren Waller at the
23:50beginning of the year. Nope. not
23:51happening. Didn't do anything like you
23:52said since week four. Tommy Trimble had
23:55a good game a couple of weeks ago.
23:56Everyone was like, "Oh, here we go."
23:57Nope. Tommy Trimble had done crap. Even
23:59though he did have a solid game
24:00yesterday as well. So, there's there's
24:02no rhyme or reason to the tight ends
24:04here. If you want to chase name value
24:06with Darren Waller, then you absolutely
24:08go for it. I'm not.
24:10>> Yep. Then you get Michael Mayer in Las
24:11Vegas. Didn't have a great week nine.
24:14He's still only 29% owned. And if you're
24:16looking for any sort of
24:19consistency, I'll say it's lower end
24:21consistency because Brock Bowers is
24:23going to eat in this offense, but if you
24:24need a plug-and-play tight end, at
24:26least, you know, he sees pretty
24:28consistent weekly volume.
24:30>> Yeah, it's it's not turning into a ton
24:32of production right now, but they're
24:35>> five to seven points.
24:36>> Yeah, they're looking his way a majority
24:38of the time. I would say if you play in
24:41a standard league where the ceiling is a
24:43lot higher or for a lot lower for
24:45everybody because you're taking out the
24:46receptions there, then maybe he's worth
24:49it. If you're playing in like PPR or
24:50half PPR leagues, it it really kills his
24:53value. Uh the Eli Ridon in New England,
24:564% owned. He's going up against Detroit,
24:58so the matchup is great, but he is
25:00completely tied to the health of Hunter
25:02Henry. if Hunter Henry is still limited
25:04or for some reason he doesn't play this
25:05week, then Raron gets a huge bump in
25:08this offense, mostly just due to the
25:10matchup against Detroit. But I I I truly
25:13believe we're going to kind of have to
25:14wait and see what happens with Hunter
25:15Henry here comes weeks end. You know, it
25:17blows my mind that the the Miami
25:20Dolphins are the one to screw up the
25:23tight end process against the Lions this
25:25season because not only have the Lions
25:28been terrible, but now they're missing
25:30Jimmy Ralder and Jack Campbell at
25:32linebacker, guys that can be used to
25:34drop back into coverage. And they just
25:36could not get Greg Dalsuch the ball this
25:38past week.
25:38>> They couldn't get very many people the
25:40ball consistently considering the
25:41matchup. Uh lastly, Chica Conquo is on
25:44the list. He's only 19% owned. I don't
25:46understand why he's only
25:48>> This is the guy here.
25:49>> Yeah, this is the one that you have to
25:50go get if you if you need a long-term
25:52tight end fix. He's going up against the
25:54Giants. He's got one of the highest
25:56upsides at the position. He's had at
25:58least 50 plus yard 57 plus yards in
26:00three of his last four games. If I need
26:02a tight end and he's available, this is
26:05the name we're going to go grab.
26:06>> It is absolutely. And I mean, Van
26:08Jefferson will be back on the practice
26:10squad. So, more targets.
26:11>> Uh yeah, exactly right. He'll be back
26:13there on the practice squad. They're not
26:14playing the Rams. No Van Jefferson. Uh,
26:16okay. Uh, let's go through some of the
26:18Waverwire power rankings. I will run
26:20through these real quick. This is how we
26:22would rank them if you're looking for an
26:23option. Top of the list, Caleb Douglas.
26:25He probably has the most rest of season
26:27value as his team's de facto wide
26:29receiver one. Then Deario Douglas seems
26:32like the safest weekly option in the New
26:34England passing offense, followed by
26:35Tank Dell. Uh, it seems like he's going
26:38to have a role that's going to grow over
26:40the next few weeks. He's already looking
26:42pretty dang good. The problem is he's
26:44got a lot of target competition, so
26:45that's why he's a couple spots lower.
26:46Then Dylan Samson, great for PPR
26:48leagues, those dump off passes.
26:50Hopefully he can continue to get five or
26:51six targets a game. Then Cory Ker, who
26:53could have some short-term value if we
26:55don't have Raandre Stevenson. Same thing
26:57for Caleb Johnson if we don't have Josh
26:59Jacobs. Chris Rodriguez going to get
27:01close to 10 touches a game because the
27:03Jags blow everybody out. Adnai Mitchell
27:05could see increased targets because they
27:07don't have Garrett Wilson or Omar Cooper
27:09Jr., we just don't know about Garrett
27:11Wilson just yet. So that's why he's a
27:12couple spots lower. Then the one tight
27:14end we said we would grab is Chiga
27:16Conquo. Uh I think it's a clear option,
27:19too. I don't think there's even much
27:20discussion. If he's out there and you
27:21need a tight end, it's got to be Chiga
27:23Conquo. Pat Bryant here after Chig,
27:25followed by Michael Mayer. Uh then we
27:27put M. Holland and Fton Chisum together.
27:28They're kind of it's kind of a tossup,
27:30right? You never know who's going to get
27:31the big play, who's going to score the
27:33touchdown each week. Then Jordan Watkins
27:35playing whack-a-ole in San Francisco
27:37followed by Darren Waller. Eli Raridon.
27:39Justice Hill was really saved by one big
27:41play. Tutu Atwell hasn't done anything I
27:44don't feel like in like three or four
27:45years. He may get an opportunity though
27:47if Puka is out for extended time. Seth
27:50McGowan we're just hoping for a trade to
27:51Jonathan Taylor. Oddri estimate is tied
27:53to whenever Travis Han comes back which
27:56should be within the next two weeks or
27:57so. And then like Kyle said, Van
27:59Jefferson at the bottom because he
28:00probably goes back to the practice squad
28:02because he's not playing against the
28:03Rams.
28:04>> Now the question is, who are we stashing
28:06and who are we picking up to actually
28:08play?
28:09>> Uh I want to stash everybody still. I
28:11don't want to play any of them, but
28:12we're going to have to start quite a few
28:13of these guys. We're going with a start
28:15for Caleb Douglas, Deario Douglas,
28:17backto-back Douglas, followed by Tank
28:19Dell, Dylan Samson. Then the next start
28:22we go down to is Adnai Mitchell.
28:24Hopefully that's if uh Garrett Wilson is
28:26out once again, followed by Chiga
28:27Conqua. We would start. Uh then we go
28:29down to Darren Waller. If you are
28:31absolutely in tight end hell, you could
28:33start him right there. But that's about
28:35it, right? I don't see any other people
28:36that we would start on this list.
28:38Everybody else is going to be a stash
28:39until we really find out what's
28:40happening with the injuries on their
28:41team. I can't go out there right now and
28:44say, "Hey, you're starting Cory Ker this
28:46week or you're starting Caleb Johnson
28:48this week." because until we really know
28:50Stevenson and Josh Jacobs are out, it
28:52doesn't make a whole lot of sense for us
28:53to do that. We're they're tied to that
28:55to that player in front of them.
28:57>> And while and while we don't want to
28:58start any of these guys right away, Jake
29:00and I brought it up like before we
29:02started recording, next week is buy
29:04Meageddon. There's six teams on a buy
29:06next week. So sometimes attacking the
29:08waiver wire the week before that happens
29:12is your best bet because there's a lot
29:14of teams that might not really realize
29:15that yet as of yet and they haven't
29:17really looked forward to
29:19>> We're in week 10, right?
29:20>> Yep.
29:21>> They haven't looked forward to week 11
29:22yet. So if I were you, I would maybe
29:24peep next week who you have on buy and
29:27make some decisions this week on the
29:29waiver wire that would help you next
29:32week as well.
29:33>> Absolutely 100% agree. Now, how much do
29:34you want to spend on these guys? We'll
29:36go up to
29:38>> I don't know how. Here's the problem. K.
29:40I bet you there's a ton of teams out
29:41there that don't have a whole lot left
29:42because they've been dealing with
29:43injuries for weeks.
29:45>> I would assume so.
29:46>> And there's probably not a lot of fab
29:47budget out there. But we got up to 30%
29:49left for Douglas, Douglas, Dell, and
29:51Samson.
29:52>> Douglas
29:53>> Douglas and Doug the law firm at the
29:54top. Uh then we get up to 20% for guys
29:57like Kiner Johnson Rodriguez, Adnai
29:59Mitchell, Chica Conquo, Pat Bryant,
30:01Michael Mayer, and then just about 10%
30:03or so for everyone else because it's
30:04going to be a short-term rental. But
30:07then we move on to some streaming
30:09quarterbacks. And full disclosure, I
30:11went through every quarterback in the
30:12NFL that's playing football on week 10,
30:14and the only one that I was like, you
30:16know what, he's got some proven some
30:18proven success against this team was
30:20Aaron Rogers. So, that tells you right
30:22there how weak the streaming
30:24quarterbacks are going to be just due to
30:25all the injuries and by-weeks this
30:27upcoming week. Aaron Rogers is going up
30:29against Cincinnati. And it doesn't sound
30:31like a great matchup, but he faced
30:32Cincinnati earlier in the year. Threw
30:34for 299 yards, three touchdowns, and an
30:37interception against them, but that was
30:38back in week three. At least he's had
30:40some success and they're coming off the
30:42by-week, so he's towards the top of this
30:44list. Kyle,
30:46>> that I would agree with. I do think like
30:48if you're looking for someone this week,
30:49you're probably going to be moving
30:51towards Aaron Rodgers if there's anyone
30:53available. Like you said, probably the
30:56one guy that you feel like you I
30:57wouldn't say trust, but gives you the
30:58best shot if you need it. Yep. Then
31:00Jacobe Brcett, he's already been named
31:02the starter in Baltimore. They're going
31:03up against the Chargers. The Chargers
31:05defense didn't look great. Brassette has
31:06a guy like Zay Flowers. He's he's going
31:09to another team where he's not stacked
31:11with weapons. He didn't have a ton of
31:13weapons in Arizona either. I I I would
31:15expect that he feeds Zay Flowers and we
31:17probably see one of those outside
31:18receivers whether it's like a Jacobe
31:20Lane or maybe he can get the tight end
31:22position going. He's so used to throwing
31:24to Trey McBride. Maybe Mark Mark Andrews
31:26is finally a thing this year. But at
31:28this point, we're just looking for guys
31:29who are healthy and starting at
31:30quarterback.
31:31>> Hey, and Jacobe Brassette came in last
31:33season and like he saved a lot of
31:36fantasy seasons. Maybe not him as a
31:38starter, but for some of the offensive
31:40weapons that he helped out. So, like you
31:42said, not a ton of weapons there, but
31:44enough to make him viable.
31:46>> Yep. And then Cam Ward coming off the
31:47buy as well. Tough matchup going up
31:50against Jacksonville. The only thing I
31:51put on here is cuz Jacksonville allows a
31:53ton of passing yards, just not a lot of
31:56touchdowns. But here's what's weird, cuz
31:58I know a lot of people are going to be
31:59like, "Well, those options kind of
32:00suck." And I just want to run through
32:02this super fast. These are the options
32:04we had to choose from. Jaden Daniels,
32:06highly owned. JJ McCarthy, we don't even
32:08know how injured he is if he's going to
32:10play. Drake May highly quick on that one
32:12right there.
32:13>> Okay.
32:13>> I would say if JJ plays he's over Cam
32:16Ward. I would say if JJ is ruled out and
32:20Jameus Winston plays then I would put
32:22him above Rogers Brassette and Ward.
32:24>> I would agree with that as well. But
32:25then we go down the list still. Drake
32:26May highly owned. Jared Goff highly
32:28owned Patrick Mahomes injured highly
32:30owned. Michael Pennix going up against
32:32the Chiefs does not sound ideal to me.
32:34CJ Strad was over 70% owned. Are we want
32:37to go with Shadur or Deshun Watson? We
32:38don't even know who it's going to be. So
32:39no. Minnesota. We still don't know if
32:41it'll be W or Murray. Green Bay, Jordan
32:43Love is highly owned. Trevor Lawrence is
32:44highly owned. Then we get Cam Ward.
32:46Malik Willis uh look should have had a
32:49great game last week against Detroit. He
32:51did not. He's got to match up against
32:52the Colts. Do we want the Colts
32:53quarterback and Daniel Jones? No. Bryce
32:55Young, highly owned. Tyler Shuck, highly
32:57owned. Josh Allen, highly owned. Uh Gino
32:59Smith going up against Buffalo with all
33:01of his weapons injured. Probably not.
33:03Then we don't even know who's starting
33:04in Seattle. Uh Kurt Cousins going up
33:06against the the Seahawks doesn't sound
33:08great. Matthew Stafford without Puka. I
33:10don't know about that. Then we get
33:11Gardenner Menchu against the Rams. I
33:13don't know if I want to have to deal
33:14with Garrett uh Miles Garrett and Aaron
33:17Donald there. Then we get Brock Purley
33:18pretty highly owned. Dak Prescott highly
33:20owned. Joe Burrow highly owned. We
33:21included Aaron Rogers, Justin Herbert.
33:23Ain't nobody starting Justin Herbert.
33:25And then Baltimore, we included Jacobe
33:26Brassette. So there's not a lot of
33:27options out there
33:29>> to stream this week and it absolutely
33:32sucks. We do have a couple defenses. I
33:34was surprised to see that the Packers
33:36defense was less than 35% owned,
33:40>> which is kind of weird because they've
33:41been playing so good lately. Yeah,
33:43they've scored eight plus fantasy points
33:45in six straight games and now they're
33:47going to get Minnesota, whose offense
33:48has been sputtering, obviously they
33:50haven't played yet this week, but with
33:51all the quarterback questions and Justin
33:53Jefferson hasn't been getting going, the
33:55Packers could be a solid option for week
33:5610.
33:57>> They do a I mean, they do a really good
33:59job of creating turnovers and that's
34:00where a lot of those fantasy points come
34:02from. Uh Micah Parsons, I think we're
34:06>> we're getting closer when he gets backed
34:08and that helps even a little bit more at
34:09that point.
34:10>> Uh we got the Baltimore Ravens going up
34:11against the Chargers. Why? Because it's
34:13the Chargers and their offense sucks. We
34:15know that Lad Bonkey is hurt. Trey
34:17Harris got banged up again. The offense
34:19didn't look any better after the buy. So
34:20the Ravens,
34:22>> who's this? Who's hurt?
34:23>> Herbert.
34:23>> Oh yeah, Justin Herbert's got a the
34:25clown glove on. So yeah, that's
34:27definitely an option for the Ravens.
34:28Maybe they're rejuvenated with Jacobe
34:30Brassette under center and then the
34:31Washington Commanders get the Giants
34:33because we really don't know which
34:34quarterback it's going to be yet. If
34:35it's JJ McCarthy, Jameus Winston is kind
34:38of known for some turnovers as well.
34:39Plus, Washington has scored at least
34:41seven fantasy points in three of their
34:42last four games.
34:44>> That's the fantasy landscape.
34:47>> This is like
34:47>> halfway through the season.
34:49>> We're only half We're more than halfway.
34:52>> Uh fantasy season, we're more than
34:54halfway. like real season. We just
34:57crossed the halfway point.
34:58>> That's That's true. I'm I'm trying to
35:00get through the end of the fantasy
35:01season at this point. I know a lot of
35:03people are. This has been a tough season
35:05for fantasy football. But it's it's
35:08those who stick with it. Don't just give
35:10up and quit on it. Keep setting those
35:12lineups. Keep trying to win because
35:15you're not the only team dealing with
35:16all this crap. Everybody else is. All
35:18you got to do, Kyle, we're going to have
35:20somebody who wins fantasy championships
35:22this year that gets into the playoffs
35:24with a 500 or below record. And I don't
35:27know if I've seen that very often. Like
35:29I feel like I feel like you could you
35:31could be below 500 and have a chance to
35:33not only just make your playoffs, but
35:35make a run in the playoffs cuz all you
35:36got to do is get hot at the right time.
