00:00Waiver wire here, Joe, and this is a super important, uh, there's a lot of names on this

00:09list here.

00:10Let's help some people out.

00:11First one is a quarterback.

00:13It's Mason Rudolph.

00:14He is only rostered in 3% of leagues.

00:16I mean, honestly, just go out and get him now and what he's been doing the past couple

00:20of weeks.

00:21People may be sleeping on it.

00:22Joe, what do you think?

00:23Yeah.

00:24Like the picks last week.

00:25Heard of a little bit, but that's Mason Rudolph.

00:27However, I guess Jacksonville is a really good matchup.

00:29So I keep coming back to if you're in a deeper league and you lost Jalen hurts, or you had

00:33to as your quarterback, and all of a sudden you're looking in the waiver wire for a quarterback

00:36this week, you're trying to stream somebody.

00:38So Aaron Rogers, I mentioned is one probably a little safer, but I don't think you should

00:42dismiss, uh, where Mason Rudolph is.

00:45He has finished as QB 13 and QB 18 the last two weeks.

00:48So right on that fringy area, you know, kind of a, a mid-level QB two, a good matchup against

00:54the Jacksonville Jaguars.

00:55He's got healthy weapons.

00:57Uh, Tony Pollard is out for this week.

00:59So you're gonna get Taji Spears wearing the football, but the fact that Pollard is out

01:03to could mean a little bit more volume in the past.

01:05Okay.

01:06Well, you're talking about Nick Westbrook, a Kenya.

01:07You're talking about Calvin Ridley, Chica, Conquo, all those guys are healthy on the

01:10field playing.

01:11And at this point you're looking for teams that are healthy.

01:13I know the Titans don't have much to play for.

01:15Maybe a little bit of pride.

01:16Maybe Mason Rudolph is looking for his next spot, a little finish here to the season on

01:20a good note would certainly go a long way to the next gig for Mason Rudolph, wherever

01:24that might be.

01:25Who knows?

01:26Maybe it's just with the Tennessee Titans, but, uh, the Jacksonville Jaguars again, good

01:30spot here for him.

01:31I think he can go over 250 yards in this game.

01:34I think he could throw another two touchdowns.

01:35He's got two touchdowns in each of his last two games.

01:38So, uh, if you need a streaming quarterback this week or in your super flex league, Mason

01:43Rudolph is a guy that you could pluck off the waiver wire and throw in there, Joe, would

01:47you think that the Taji Spears anytime touchdown would be a good play?

01:50Yes or no.

01:52Uh, I got to look at the number on that one, but yeah, I do think it was probably somewhere

01:57in that range.

01:58I'm going to look at it right now.

01:59The end time touchdown score for Taji Spears.

02:01It's funny.

02:02It's not as good as you think it might be.

02:04It's plus one Oh five first touchdown plus five 50.

02:08That might be the better way to approach it.

02:10So clearly they think, uh, the biggest things Taji Spears is scoring today.

02:15Just putting that out there.

02:16All right, let's find out if another running back, we'll find the end zone here.

02:20He's rostered in half of our leagues and it's Alexander Madison in Las Vegas, nothing

02:25in front of him.

02:26What do you think?

02:27Yeah.

02:28Madison, another guy too, where, uh, you're just looking for bodies at the running back

02:32position.

02:33Uh, Amir Abdullah, another guy that you were just trying to find some guys or live bodies,

02:38new Orleans saints are not very good.

02:40We saw that, uh, last week we did have a touchdown here for, uh, Alexander Madison, uh, 12 carats

02:47for 27.

02:48So that's not great.

02:49Uh, but he did have the touchdown.

02:51So if he's going to get the goal line work, that is something to care about.

02:54Amir Abdullah, on the other hand, I think is a little bit more intriguing from the fancy

02:58perspective because of the six targets he saw last week.

03:01So he also had a touchdown, uh, but just seven carries for 38 yards, five catches for 47.

03:07I think that's the running back of the two you prefer.

03:10So Madison Abdullah, either of those two guys right now, if you were looking to stream somebody,

03:15because we did lose a lot of players this week, and that is something that you're not

03:19always accounting for.

03:20And with the holiday, it was really hard to keep track of stuff.

03:23And news was really filtering out much slower because teams really didn't know on Saturday

03:28until game time.

03:29If certain guys were going to play, we saw that with the Connor situation, then he played

03:32and a lot of people still played him anyway, and it did not work out.

03:36So if you're in that spot where now all of a sudden you find yourself in, I didn't start

03:40James Garner, but now I'm looking for a running back.

03:42Maybe a guy like Amir Abdullah can help you today.
