All right, Fantasy Waver Wire, let's get into it.
00:03
I went a little bit different, maybe, than most would here,
00:07
and I did go back to the Dolphins.
00:08
Imagine, Jonu Smith had a better year than Tyreek Hill.
00:12
This is true.
00:14
88, what?
00:16
Is that right?
00:17
88 receptions for Jonu Smith?
00:20
884 yards and eight touchdowns?
00:22
There may be some folks that said,
00:24
well, I took Jonu Smith as my tight end two
00:28
in the 14th round this year in fantasy.
00:30
And if you did, here's my question.
00:32
Did you have him after week one?
00:34
Did you have him after week two?
00:36
I don't think so, because he didn't come on
00:39
until about week four, week five.
00:42
And then outside of Brock Bowers, George,
00:44
he was the best tight end in fantasy football.
00:46
So to me, he was my waver wire.
00:48
Not me personally, because I didn't believe it.
00:50
I didn't take him.
00:51
I didn't pick him up.
00:52
But he was a big waver wire win, a rare tight end,
00:55
overperforming.
00:58
That's a great pick, by the way.
00:59
Jonu Smith is a great pick for this guy.
01:01
He was fantastic.
01:03
A guy who could be a league winner,
01:04
because he was hot during the playoffs.
01:06
He's catching touchdowns.
01:07
He was great.
01:08
He's going to be a problem next year.
01:09
Way to draft him, by the way.
01:10
Is he a top 10?
01:11
Is he a top eight?
01:12
You know, that sort of thing?
01:14
Is he your next LaPorter?
01:18
I like your pick better than I like mine.
01:20
I love Berkey or Bucky Irby.
01:21
I chose Bucky Irby because he wasn't a starting running back
01:23
in week one.
01:24
Now, all these guys might have been drafted.
01:25
You mentioned, yeah, someone might have had Jonu Smith.
01:27
I don't know any league where Jonu Smith was drafted,
01:30
all right, offhand.
01:30
It was someone who might have taken a round 14.
01:32
Irving probably was taken in most leagues as the backup.
01:35
We take every running back with a pulse nowadays.
01:38
At least I know I do.
01:39
I said I had Dobbins in a couple of leagues because he had a
01:41
pulse and I was taking him.
01:43
So, I would have liked to talk about Irving more if you
01:47
didn't already select him yet.
01:48
Because I think he had a great year.
01:49
I think he is a guy, I said earlier, you said earlier,
01:51
you think he might be a first, second round running back.
01:53
That's what I agree.
01:54
Probably was second round for me because I think a lot of
01:56
wide receivers are going in leagues here.
01:58
But Irving was fantastic, especially with Mike Evans,
02:01
with Mayfield, Godwin if he's back.
02:03
No one's worried about that rushing game.
02:06
All right, everyone's worried about stopping Evans.
02:08
So, good for Bucky Irving for making his mark.
