00:00Let's go out to Big D. Let's go to Dallas.

00:05Joe, you said something, it was kind of a throwaway statement, I believe it was in the

00:08first hour, about how being a wide receiver in Dallas is actually a very important part

00:12if your name isn't C.D. Lamb.

00:14Who's that next receiver?

00:16Is Jalen Tolbert that guy?

00:17If so, he's still available in over half the leagues.

00:19Yeah, with the Brandon Cooks injury, I think Tolbert could certainly develop into that

00:23guy.

00:24Detroit-Dallas is a big total today.

00:26We'll see if it lives up to the hype.

00:28Ten targets last week, seven catches for 87 and a touchdown, that's a really good number

00:32for Jalen Tolbert.

00:34He is wide receiver 32 on the season, he has two touchdowns on the year now too, so he's

00:40looking for him in the red zone, that's important because those red zone targets are more valuable

00:44in fantasy because they attach to touchdowns.

00:46So Tolbert is a guy right now that should be rostered way more than I think 48% of leagues,

00:50he should be in the high 60s if not 70s by now.

00:53So people are sleeping on this, and they shouldn't be, I think Tolbert has taken a little while

00:57to develop, but things are certainly going in the right direction, so Tolbert absolutely

01:01a guy to add.

01:02And if he has another big game today, in this high total potential shootout contest, he's

01:07going to cost you a lot more in free agent dollars tomorrow, so be aggressive, be proactive,

01:13add Tolbert now.

01:14All right, now this next play makes me smile because it reminds me of something my four-year-old

01:19son whispers into my three-year-old daughter's ears, let's do a sneaky plan.

01:23It's time for a sneaky, sneaky play here because you have a team on a buy who could

01:28have an opportunity for a name to step up here.

01:32Ty Chandler, I mean just available across the board I would imagine here, this is an

01:36opportunity, we don't know what Jones' situation is going to be, but if come next week we find

01:41out people are going to be scrambling for Chandler, you say have him already, huh?

01:46Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, he's 36% rostered on average, right?

01:50So to me, if Aaron Jones has a hip issue, what are the chances he comes out of this

01:55buy 100%?

01:56I don't know, not great necessarily, so maybe get Ty Chandler for one game, maybe get him

02:01for multiple games.

02:02I mean look what happened with Nico Collins just this week, he went from, he's got a hamstring

02:05his day-to-day to the IR in 24 hours, that was a big leap, and I think you want to prepare

02:12for those things.

02:13Now I know some cases you don't have the opportunity to make those kind of moves because you're

02:17benched, because of who you've got to start, because buy weeks, I get it, but if you do

02:22have an open bench spot, then you're looking for some RB help, or you can put other guys

02:26on IR.

02:27This is a unique add right now, get ahead of the game, Ty Chandler was a guy that we

02:30added last year too, he was useful at times in this Minnesota offense, he knows the offense,

02:35and Aaron Jones is an older running back, let's not pretend like he doesn't have a lot

02:39of wear and tear on him, so he could miss multiple weeks here, it was kind of lucky

02:43the injury happened before the buy, but I'm not sold that he's back necessarily for week

02:46seven, so let's add him for nothing.

02:48Also in that same vein, Jalen Wright, another guy who looked tremendous last time we saw

02:53him, Devon Achan, not so much, he's been dealing with some injuries, Ray Moser's been dealing

02:58with injuries, so this whole Miami Dolphins offense right now looks pretty rough, Jalen

03:03Wright is a guy who was very high on coming into the season, I've been able to hold him

03:06in some leagues, but not in some others, but he's been dropped in a lot of leagues simply

03:10because of the buy week, 22% rostered, I still think he's a guy that's got upside, Matt,

03:16and I think this is a sneaky thing where you're looking to kind of play chess when

03:20everybody else is playing checkers, you're looking right now, you're looking to add talent,

03:25and I think that's what we're trying to do here.
