00:00into it.

00:06All right, fantasy football season continues, and the injuries continue to be problems,

00:12and unproductive players continue to be problems, and so the Waiver Wire continues to be our

00:18oasis for a helping hand.

00:22We haven't really had that, oh, this guy is a league winner type of a Waiver Wire pickup

00:28just yet.

00:30We haven't really had any of that so far.

00:33We had a couple guys who have helped, and one guy who we mentioned on last week's that

00:36really helped in a big time way, even if you didn't necessarily throw them into your lineup,

00:42which absolutely, I had them on my bench.

00:44Toxic, of course, one of the teams in the fantasy vampire league that we did for some

00:51friends of the Twitch as the season got going.

00:55For me personally, I had Jawan Jennings on my bench last week in the vampire league.

01:02I had him, and it was one other person.

01:05Oh, I had Charbonnet on the bench as well.

01:07Those two guys alone outscored my starting lineup.

01:10Not a good week in the vampire league for me.

01:12I'm going to try to break out of this slump this week, but this has been much more of

01:16a challenge than I expected it to be this year, but these Waiver Wire pickups could

01:20help as we continue in that process.

01:23So, we'll start at the quarterback position.

01:25If you're looking for a streaming option this week, Sam Darnold is, gosh golly gee, a pretty

01:30good one for you to have.

01:33He is 30% owned right now.

01:36Facing Green Bay is tough, but he has been quite good so far this year, and I do, this

01:42is not necessarily as much a trust in Sam Darnold as this is a trust in this offense.

01:49They have got Aaron Jones rolling.

01:50Ty Chandler has shown that he can actually be a pretty strong option for this group as

01:56well if you wanted to go with a 2RB set.

01:59And then of course, Justin Jefferson is quite good at the sport of football.

02:02Darnold has been able to efficiently move this offense up and down the field, put them

02:06in positions to put up some points, and I think can be a bit more of a longer term option

02:11as well, maybe even just beyond a one week start.

02:13So he is someone who I'm absolutely looking at at 30% owned.

02:17Right at our cutoff for 35% owned is Bucky Irving.

02:21Nine carries, three more targets for the second time in three games so far this year, and

02:26again, quite frankly, he has looked like the better running back so far out in Tampa Bay.

02:30And so I anticipate those looks are going to continue, those opportunities, that's what

02:36I was looking for, those opportunities are going to be there for him as well, and there

02:40is going to be a real growth chance for him to come out and really set the tone for being

02:47a guy in that backfield, and getting some real opportunities for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

02:53At wide receiver, there's three we're looking at right now.

02:5632% owned, it's still Juwan Jennings.

02:59We've probably, I'm not even going to say probably, we've absolutely seen Juwan Jennings

03:03last game as a 40 point scorer in fantasy football, but we do have a few opportunities,

03:10I think, for him to come up with some good fantasy points.

03:12Hey, Conrad, how's it going, bud, thanks for popping by, really appreciate it.

03:16I think Juwan Jennings is going to have some opportunities.

03:19Brandon Ayoub looks like doo-doo, Deebo Samuel I don't think is expected to be back this

03:24week, and George Kittle, limited practice this week.

03:28They're playing New England.

03:29Now, they have just come off of a couple of real stinkers, so maybe they may feel a little

03:37bit, um, they may feel a little bit more pressure to throw them in, but still, I do think that

03:45there is a opportunity that Jennings is going to work a little bit more into this, uh, into

03:50this offense.

03:51Sorry Conrad about the ad, um, apologies for that.

03:55But um, yeah, I think he is an option.

03:57I do think Alan Lizard, at 30% owned, I have had him and I have guessed wrong every time

04:01on when to actually put him into the lineup, but I do think this is a week that you can

04:07go for it.

04:09They are playing the Denver Broncos this week.

04:12Last week, Denver played Tampa Bay, and they just took Mike Evans right out of the game

04:16plan.

04:17Patrick Sertan III did a very good job of shutting him down, and that is kind of similar

04:24to what the Jets experienced on Thursday, where Gonzalez was over, kind of just shadowing

04:30Wilson, and looking to take him out of the game plan, and thusly, Alan Lizard was able

04:37to pick up a few more opportunities.

04:38I think something similar can happen this week.

04:40Not that Wilson is a sit or anything like that, but I do think there's going to be some

04:43volume chances for Lizard, and it's very obvious that Aaron Rodgers has trusted him in the

04:49red zone for the first couple of weeks of the season, so I think there's an opportunity

04:53for him.

04:54And the last one is Darnell Mooney.

04:55It is very clear, again, that teams are really targeting London and Pitts and taking them

04:59away, and Kirk Cousins is very good at taking the path of least resistance, and for a lot

05:04of times, that has been Mooney.

05:06So again, I think there's going to be more volume than you think for Mooney, and I think

05:11he is also just a pretty good football player, and so I think that will help him kind of

05:15grow and develop into this role as well, and let him kind of be a bigger part of the offense.

05:22So I think that is also a play for you in different fantasy leagues.

05:27I think the ad is done whamming you now, Conrad, so again, and ad-free, hello, and thank you

05:34for stopping in, I appreciate it.

05:36I know we're both in Josh's fantasy league, and we haven't played each other yet.

05:40I have, not that anyone needs to hear about someone bitching about their own fantasy team,

05:44I have lost all three games in that league, and the biggest spread has been five points.

05:49I have been just right there every time, and I'm getting very annoyed by it.

05:53Now part of that's my fault, because I've been projected to win every week, and it hasn't

05:57worked out, so it is on me, but that's been very frustrating.

06:01So that's my only little fantasy football bitch of the day.

06:04At the tight end spot, 29% owned, Colby Parkinson, 12 targets in the first three games.

06:10There's not a lot of great options in that offense right now, and that is, I think, going

06:17to help out Parkinson greatly.

06:18Matthew Stafford still looks like he is fantastic, and I think there's going to be more and

06:23more opportunities for Parkinson to, again, grow into this offense a little bit more.

06:29So I think there's a chance that he puts up some numbers, and it's tight end in fantasy.

06:33We're not looking for something great.

06:34The number one ad on tight end right now is Cole Komet, and the reason for that, probably,

06:38is he scored a touchdown last week right after everyone dropped him.

06:41So this is a position that's very frustrating to deal with, and one that I think you have,

06:48we're throwing darts here every week, guys, is what we're doing.

06:52Hopefully some of these darts help out Conrad, Conrad, sorry, at 0-3.

06:56I think that's, I'm living that in a couple of leagues this year.

07:01It's been a frustrating start, but don't give up.

07:03We're going to battle through this.

07:04We're going to grind through it together.

07:06And I've got a thing coming up here in a couple of minutes that's going to show you how annoying

07:09this whole thing can be.

07:12Our defense for the week is Cincinnati.

07:15They are 28% owned.

07:17They're facing Carolina.

07:18Yes, Carolina just won their last game.

07:21Yes, it was against my favorite team.

07:23No, I don't think they can do that again.

07:26That's basically what I'm banking all of this on, is my assumption that what Carolina

07:32did last week is not sustainable and not something they're going to be able to do on a week-in-week-out

07:38basis.

07:39Now, I will say, the whole revenge thing for Andy Dalton does provide a bit of intrigue

07:46and a little bit of concern for this.

07:48Also, them losing to Washington on Monday night gives you a bit of pause as well, but

07:53I do think that this is going to be a defense that can at least take advantage of Andy Dalton.

07:59And I think that Lou Anarumo, sorry, holy hell, all tongue-tied today.

08:05I do think defensive coordinator Lou is going to be able to lock this thing down and kind

08:11of take advantage of a subpar offense moving forward.
