00:00So let's go here, let's look at our season-long fantasies.
00:05Let's look at the waiver wire.
00:07But these discussions also inform today's games.
00:10Joe, where do you want to start?
00:11Because I know a good place to go,
00:13but I'll let you lead this one.
00:16I want to start with the Achilles again.
00:17Back to Christian McCaffrey.
00:20Yeah, dad jokes abound this morning.
00:23Look, Jordan Mason's a guy you should be adding.
00:25He is rostered in 60% of leagues right now.
00:27And the roster percentage comes from CBS,
00:30which you get a lot more paid leagues there.
00:31So I like to get the roster percentage from there,
00:33because I think that's a little bit more useful
00:34than some of the other spots.
00:36But he's out there right now for free.
00:37And what I'm trying to do with some of these
00:38is trying to get ahead of the free agent budget,
00:41ahead of waivers and all the other stuff
00:43that's going to run eventually,
00:44because do you want to have to pay full boat
00:49for Jordan Mason?
00:50No.
00:51A lot of people added him already this past week.
00:53His stock shot up quite a bit
00:54after the Eli Mitchell situation,
00:56him being out for the year, because he is next man up.
00:59And he looked really good in that last preseason game.
01:01Now, preseason doesn't mean anything,
01:03except for guys like Jordan Mason, where it means a lot.
01:05Like how you perform gives you a chance
01:07to be the backup for Christian McCaffrey.
01:09So if I do think McCaffrey might miss some time
01:11in this season, he becomes a really interesting piece,
01:13even if I don't have McCaffrey.
01:15A little bit more interesting if I do,
01:17that insurance policy could be very useful,
01:19and it's going to save me some free agent budget.
01:21So look at the end of your bench.
01:23If you're carrying two defenses, stop.
01:25If you have two tight ends, what are you doing?
01:27Pick up Jordan Mason now.
01:29And God forbid you have the situation where,
01:32let's say McCaffrey comes out with a calf strain
01:34on Monday night.
01:35You think Jordan Mason's not going to be
01:36the highest bid player in week one?
01:38People are going to empty the whole tank on him?
01:40Of course they are.
01:41So be proactive.
01:42Add him now on Sunday morning for nothing,
01:44and see what happens.
01:46At the very least, three weeks from now,
01:47four weeks from now,
01:48if it doesn't become a good investment,
01:49okay, you drop it and you move on.
01:51But if something happens on Monday night,
01:53you're going to be very grateful
01:54that you did get ahead of the curve.
01:56You're going to be very grateful that you did get ahead of the curve.
