00:00
But let's get to the waiver wire, George, let's take a look at who might be out there
00:06
too.
00:07
Again, my number one streamer this week is now Curtis Samuel.
00:10
I think he can finish as a wide receiver three potentially this week, but he's not the only
00:13
guy to look at it.
00:14
Wide receiver.
00:15
Dontavian Wicks is still not rostered in nearly enough leagues.
00:18
In my opinion, especially in the circumstances, he is rostered in 64% of leagues on sleeper
00:22
right now.
00:23
That means he's out there at almost 35%.
00:26
That means somewhere somebody dropped the ball and missed something.
00:29
Go pick them up.
00:30
I don't care if it's a 10 team league, a shallow league, pick them up because these next few
00:34
weeks could be very productive.
00:35
I don't know when Christian Watson is going to come back.
00:37
I don't know if Romeo Dobbs is ever coming back.
00:39
So all of a sudden, Dontavian Wicks goes from wide receiver four on this team to basically
00:43
wide receiver two.
00:45
And this is a great leap for Wicks, who's got big playmaking ability.
00:49
So this is the time.
00:50
This is the moment.
00:51
George, were you surprised that the roster percentage was still under 80 for Wicks with
00:56
all the hype around him this week and what he did last week?
01:00
A little bit, yeah.
01:02
Under 80?
01:03
If it would have been 78, 75, I'd have been fine with that.
01:06
There are shallower leagues out there.
01:08
You mentioned 10 team leagues.
01:09
The people don't want them or don't need them.
01:12
But 64 is light.
01:14
Once again, you and I have been on Green Bay all show.
01:17
We both believe they're scoring a million points today.
01:19
He's the number two root receiver there.
01:22
He should eat well here.
01:23
Yes, I'm all over Dontavian Wicks.
01:25
He should be rostered at more than 64 percent.
01:27
But that number has come up.
01:28
So people are claiming him, just not to the liking of you and I.
01:33
Fair enough.
01:34
Another wide receiver that we like a lot this week, Wondell Robinson, also just about 60
01:38
percent rostered.
01:39
He should be way higher than this.
01:42
Wondell has been very solid.
01:44
Now again, neighbors being out, it could mean some more workload.
01:48
It also could mean a tougher day at the office for him.
01:52
He's had a lot of single coverage, and that has worked out well for Wondell Robinson.
01:55
He has been a target hog for the most part, outside of that one game against Washington
01:58
of all teams, where he only had four targets.
02:01
He's at 12, 8, and 14 again last week, the high for the season, 14 targets, 11 catches
02:08
for 71 yards.
02:09
Now, he only has one touchdown on the year, but he figures to be in a good situation here.
02:14
Devin Singletary also not healthy.
02:16
So the Giants offense is limited, and Wondell has to be a big part of it.
02:20
They have to force the football there.
02:22
So I want to start him this week, and if he's still available, I definitely want to pick
02:25
him up.
02:26
George, even in the shallow league, do you think Wondell Robinson is a streamer in week
02:30
five?
02:31
In a shallow league, he may not be, because I don't know if the touchdown is going to
02:35
be tough.
02:36
All right?
02:37
We're looking at volume here.
02:38
By the way, is a standard league still standard?
02:41
Because really, PPR is the standard now.
02:43
Does anybody even play with non-PPR?
02:45
They do.
02:46
In a non-PPR league, I probably don't want to.
02:48
I do not, by the way.
02:49
Not on purpose.
02:50
No one invited me to a non-PPR.
02:51
So in a non-PPR, I'm probably not as excited, because I think touchdowns are going to be
02:57
tough here.
02:58
Now you're looking at six, seven points here.
03:00
He's not a number one in the making.
03:02
He's not that kind of guy here.
03:03
But I think he is a guy, I can't say enough, 768 is what I'm sort of predicting for him
03:07
this week.
03:08
If he gets into the end zone, just a double bonus here.
03:11
But the Giants are going to be trailing.
03:12
I think they get their butts kicked today.
03:14
Dan Jones is going to have to throw the football, and they sort of use Wondell Robinson as an
03:18
extension of the run game.
03:19
Right?
03:20
Get those little flip out throws there.
03:21
Get four, five, six yards on first down is what I'm looking for.
