| 0:53.5 | Big, big, waver wire night huge waver wire night. I am equal parts excited and kind of nervous, stressed out. I don't want to miss out on some of these players that are on wavers. |
| 1:06.5 | Obviously, you know, everybody's going to be it on them. So welcome to the show. It is the Tuesday edition of Fantasy Football today. I'm Adam Azer with Dave Richard and Jamie Eisenberg. |
| 1:14.5 | Guys, please don't trade me today. I want to get traded. |
| 1:18.5 | We wouldn't trade you at all. Nobody's buying you. We just we just cut you. You got me. You could even get like a six. |
| 1:25.5 | I know making some pretty weird trade. Maybe the giants will give us some future traffic for you. We're going for it. Leonard Williams. Why are they trading for Leonard Williams? |
| 1:34.5 | He's a young defensive lineman. That's the last point of upside. You thought it was a good sign as a free agent after the year, not giving up the traffic. |
| 1:43.5 | I mean, conditional fifth. No, no, and a third, a third and a fifth that's going to become a fourth. Yeah, they sign them. Right. If they don't sign them, then they're just throwing away a third and a fifth on using Leonard Williams for eight games. |
| 1:57.5 | We were trying to figure out if it if they franchise tag and if that counts as extension. |
| 2:04.5 | I don't know. Good question, but it was it was interesting. Yeah, we'll see what goes down today. You can I wouldn't say expect, but don't be surprised. There's another episode dropping later today before, you know, before you get to |
| 2:17.5 | Wavercliffe, we react to the trade deadline with Chris Harris to Norse Jenkins and some of the other defensive guys that will be traded. We're going to try Williams. |
| 2:24.5 | Not for defensive players, but for offensive players. Sure. All right. So on by this week, we have these Saints, the bangles, the Rams and the Falcons. And with the injury last night to James Conner, the shoulder injury at the very end of the game against the dolphins. |
| 2:40.5 | Dolphins, dolphins, by the way, thank you. You put a little scare in your fan base last night, but you came through and you lost like you were supposed to do a good job. |
| 2:48.5 | Well, that that really changes things is that brings those backup steel was running backs were also hurt to the forefront of the waiver wire, but who are the top two or three priorities on waivers this week? |
| 3:00.5 | I mean, it's jail and Samuels is number one by far because it sounds like he's going to be healthy for week nine and Benny smell and James Conner probably are not so that's something you got to keep an eye on right now. And he's going to be the most added player would be my guess or it's hard to say because where his ownership person is at 34% ownership right now. So maybe he doesn't become the most added, but you have. |
| 3:24.5 | You know, now the starting running back in Miami's available, whether he's good or not that's up to you to decide, but you know, you should still invest in Mark Walton. You have a scenario of Matt Breeda being banged up and you know, Raheem Mostert could be the second guy and one of the best running offenses that we have in the NFL as the compliment to Tevin Coleman. And then there's going to be a lot of good streaming options that both receiver tight end and quarter back, but I think those three running backs are the ones you want to look at. |
| 3:50.5 | Okay, Samuels Walton and Mostert that was the third one you said right. Yeah. And how much fab are we talking for these guys? What do you think? |
| 4:01.5 | The problem with Samuels is if you go heavy on him, there's the scenario of James Conner being fine. You know, so the way that I put it in the column is at least 15% because I don't think we're going to get an answer on Tuesday unless he's out for the season. |
| 4:16.5 | The scary part is is that when the trainer was looking at him at the end of the game, he mouths the word, clavicle is very clear to see if you're watching the game. |
