00:00Let's go to the American football waver wire here because there are some names that are

00:06going to matter.

00:07They may not be my new zest, but they may help you.

00:11Let's go to Pittsburgh here as a running back that Joe, you've talked about earlier in the

00:14season.

00:15Didn't really get a chance to come to fruition, but now here we are and this is what matters.

00:19So let's go to Pittsburgh and talk some running backs.

00:21Who do you like?

00:22Yeah, I really like Jalen Warren.

00:24He's the top of my list right now.

00:25He is only rostered in again, 55% of leagues like that.

00:30That's crazy to me.

00:31He should be, especially with the upcoming bi-week.

00:33Now he's past the bi-week.

00:34So I get that.

00:35Maybe it dragged a little bit last week because he was on a buy.

00:38Okay, fine.

00:39But if he's out there right now, add him for nothing.

00:41Don't wait to the waiver wire this week to then have to pay more for him.

00:45If you can on rolling waivers on Sunday morning, you get up, you watch the show, you add Jalen

00:49Warren and there's a big reason why.

00:53Number one, he is part of a backfield where, you know, they're going to run the football

00:56in Pittsburgh.

00:58You know, he's got some equity to catch the football.

01:00I understand, you know, last two games, you know, 44 yards, 46 yards rushing.

01:04Okay.

01:05He's finishing somewhere as, you know, like an RB three.

01:08But again, now off the buy, let's look at that schedule, right?

01:11He's a guy that can catch the football.

01:12He's that passing down back.

01:15Well, you've got the Cincinnati Bengals.

01:18You got two games against the Cleveland Browns.

01:21You got two games against Baltimore coming up.

01:23Oh, wait.

01:24And another game against Cincinnati, even in week 18, if you're crazy and you're playing

01:27week 18, which you shouldn't.

01:28But anyway, there's enough there where the Steelers are going to have to throw the football

01:32out of that backfield because running it is not going to work against some of those teams

01:36like Baltimore and like Kansas City, who was also on there.

01:39So look for Jalen Warren to actually be really useful, especially in PPR leagues.

01:43I can't believe he's still out there in as many leagues as he is.

01:46Add him now.

01:47You're going to thank me come week 12 and week 14 because you're going to need bodies.

01:51All right.

01:52Speaking of bodies, I want you to stretch your legs here and do two for me.

01:54You got two chargers here.

01:56You got one from one side of the football and the other is going to throw in the football.

02:00You got QJ and J.H. Joe, what do you like?

02:03Yeah, I like Quentin Johnson.

02:05Another guy too available in about 60% of leagues right now.

02:09I understand he's a little boom or bust.

02:11I get that.

02:12But Justin Herbert looking better.

02:15Matchups coming up for him too.

02:17He's got Tennessee today, then Cincinnati next week and Baltimore after that.

02:21Again, that's really good.

02:22We talked about the playoff schedule for this team earlier in the show, Tampa, Denver, New

02:26England.

02:27Okay.

02:28It sounds like I want some chargers right around that time, right?

02:31So it was another big game based off.

02:34Yes.

02:35One big play that went for a touchdown.

02:36But I think it is a good indicator that if he could stay healthy and stay on the field

02:40with Lad McConkey, that you can start to open this offense up, especially because the run

02:44game has become very predictable for them.

02:45J.K.

02:46Dobbins has faded a little bit here, and it's because of the predictability, which means

02:50that it's time to open things up.

02:52You came here, Mr. Harbaugh, because you had a quarterback.

02:55Use the quarterback.

02:56Okay.

02:57This is the NFL.

02:58This is not Michigan.

02:59Throw the football a little bit.

03:00And I think you're going to see them throw the football more here in the second half.

03:03And I think that's out of necessity.

03:04And QJ is another guy that, again, some weeks that might not be great, but those weeks where

03:08he has a touchdown, it's going to be very good.

03:10So another guy that's under-rostered should be added, and add him now, because I don't

03:15know how much more we're going to get off the waiver wire in the weeks to come leading

03:20up to those fantasy playoffs.

03:21So now is the time to be aggressive before you get to Week 12, before you get to Week

03:2614.

03:27Then you're looking at your roster, and nobody's available.

03:29QJ's available.

03:31Add him now.
