00:00Yeah. Oh, Joe Flacco is going to throw the football tongue. Like, that's just who Joe

00:08Flacco is, right? He got those two starts, you know, and he had 44 attempts and 38 attempts.

00:14That's good for a fantasy perspective. I like that. So I want to buy the wide receivers.

00:18He had five touchdowns and one interception in the two games he started for the Colts.

00:22And that's without full practice time, you know, necessarily, you know, even last week

00:26we got to come in at the very end of the game, you know, for a couple of snaps, it's not

00:29a big deal, but he still has his by week 14, but in super flex, he should definitely

00:34be rostered. He's a very viable second quarterback or flex QB. And when you're looking at his

00:39schedule now, I guess, Minnesota is a tough defense right out of the gate, Buffalo, then

00:42the jets, uh, Detroit without Aiden Hutchinson, though, new England, then after the by Denver,

00:48Tennessee, and the giants. So again, looking at the end game schedule and super flex leagues,

00:53Tennessee and the giants week 16 and 17. Those are some really good matchups. You want to

00:57take advantage of with Joe Flacco and this Colts offense. If indeed they can continue

01:01to get enough wins where they are relevant. So Flacco, again, more of a super flex addition

01:06here, but also look ahead to your bi-weeks. If you got somebody week 12 and need a replacement,

01:11pick up Joe Flacco for nothing right now, stick them on the end of your bench. And then

01:14you have that replacement quarterback potentially for a week 12, which is again, a very heavy

01:18bi-week he gets Detroit. That game should have a pretty high total. I would imagine

01:22the fifties. So that's a good thing from a fantasy perspective.

01:25All right. Let's move now to wide receivers, tight ends, running backs from the wide receiver

01:29department. We have a guy from Tampa Bay and Joe, you believe that this game can be a little

01:35different than Vegas sees it, but I'm gonna let you talk about it. You like Baker Mayfield

01:39as an underdog. He's got to throw the ball to someone. Who's it going to be?

01:43He does like Sterling Shepard from a health perspective right now, you know, has been

01:46a little dicey, but working out of that slot, I think he has a lot more long-term appeal

01:51than Jalen McMillan does. So he's only 37% rostered, but with God went out for the year,

01:56I expected Rashad white to work more that we did see. And I think Shepard will continue

02:01to get his opportunity as long as the health is there. So this is another player again,

02:06that I think has more long-term appeal than short-term appeal necessarily. Is he going

02:11to, you know, change your fantasy perspective? No, but those big bi-pocalypse weeks are ahead

02:16of us and we want to get ahead with some more bodies, but his bi-week is in week 11.

02:22So it's not 12 or 14, 12 and 14 of those two big ones where we're gonna have to find bodies.

02:26So if anything, he is at the very least a body in those matchups. And I just want to

02:32encourage people right now to not just think ahead to this week, but you gotta be thinking

02:37more along the lines of who could be useful to me when I get through like 12, he's got

02:42the Giants, week 14, Las Vegas Raiders. Those are two really good matchups potentially for him.

02:49All right. Let's move on to a tight end position here. The commanders, as Joe said,

02:53have a chance to put the Giants away. Zach Ertz, 52% rostered. What do you think?

03:00Look, I think Zach Ertz, when you look at him on the year, he's tight end 10. So like it or not,

03:04he's a tight end one. He only has one touchdown this year. So in PPR leagues, this is more viable.

03:09But once again, if he's out there looking ahead, covering ourselves for bi-weeks,

03:13that's the theme of the waiver wire this week. And the other guy to think about too,

03:16is Devin Singletary. Now I continue to say that Tracy's the better back in terms of talent,

03:22but he is coming off a concussion. Sometimes those guys do have second injuries when you get hit

03:27again. So it's something to think about within season where Devin Singletary is a good insurance

03:31policy. If you have Tracy and Singletary is on the waiver wire, you should definitely handcuff

03:36this backfield. Singletary when given the workload has been fine. He's a league average

03:40running back. He'll get the job done wherever he goes, whenever he's given the opportunity.

03:43But this one's more of an insurance policy where I'm kind of surprised he's dipped into the 60%

03:48range. I understand why the Giants have struggled this run offensively recently. And Tyrone Tracy

03:55has looked better, but sometimes it's about health. It's not always about talent. And if

03:59Tracy should struggle off the concussion or God forbid have a secondary issue here where he gets

04:04hit again, he could miss significant time. We could be talking weeks. And then next thing you

04:09know, Devin Singletary becomes a very useful piece. So I think that's another one that I

04:12want to pick up. Also Jalen Coker, another guy I want to mention here, he has rostered in like,

04:17you know, 15% of leagues or something crazy like that. You could see, you know, last week,

04:22there's some moments there with Bryce Young, where they're always going to be playing from behind

04:27Coker as a guy that if feeling gets traded to, you don't have to worry. He's a really gets

04:30dealing with a toe injury. So Jalen Coker is another one of these guys that I would stash

04:34right now. I think he's got some viability as we get to the heavy by weeks down the stretch.

04:38So that's what your waiver wire looks like for week nine.
