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