| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. |
| 0:15.9 | I'm your host, Justin Boone. |
| 0:17.1 | Appreciate you joining us today. |
| 0:18.7 | We are not going to waste any time on this one. I want to bring our guest in. He's jumping on to talk about the latest changes in the fantasy landscape, some of the key questions heading into week six here. So let's get him in. John Daigle of NBC Sports Edge. And for anybody who's been living under Rock for the last couple months here, NBC Sports Edge is is just the rebranded name for Roto World. But John isn't a new face or a new voice at all for you. He's been pretty much an annual guest on the show for the last few years. You're probably already falling him on Twitter at Not J. Daigle. I'm guessing you're reading his content. Hopefully you're listening to his podcast, which is appropriately |
| 0:54.4 | titled, A Good Football Show. And he's on there with Pat Dardy and Pat Corain and Danny Carter, |
| 1:01.1 | just an awesome crew over there. So give that a listen as well. And get excited because John |
| 1:05.9 | always brings it every time he's on with us. So Mr. Daigle, welcome back to the show, buddy. How's |
| 1:10.4 | life heading into |
| 1:11.0 | week six here? Everything's going well. Do I wish there were fewer injuries? Of course, but nonetheless, it's our job to sort this stuff out for everyone. And I feel like we've done a good job doing so. You and I both respectively do waiver wire columns at the score in NBC Sports Edge. And as you know, It's just a lot to sift through because we have to be ahead of the rest of the industry by Tuesday |
| 1:30.3 | Everyone else gets lucky do waiver wire columns at the score in NBC Sports Edge. And as you know, it's just a lot to sift through because we have to be ahead of the |
| 1:28.8 | rest of the industry by Tuesday. Everyone else gets lucky. They have to be there by Wednesday or Thursday. You and I have to predict things for Sunday 48 hours after the last kickoff. So a little more complicated, but nonetheless, I think we're both doing well so far. Well, and the last couple years, I've started to put my waiver work all them out during the Monday nighter. |
| 1:45.8 | So it's even less time to put my waiver work all them out during the Monday nighter. |
| 1:45.9 | So it's even less time to try to figure it all out and take a guess. So that's why, you know, people will be asking me Wednesday. You know, why did you have that player at that Fob recommendation or whatever? And it's like, well, it was Monday night at that point. I had no clue. I update after the Monday nighter and I do some updates on Tuesday, but by Wednesday we get those injury reports like you're saying and things could be completely different. I mean, last week we obviously would have made a much bigger bid on Alex Collins, for example, right, had we known the extent of Chris Carson's injury. So hopefully Chris Carson will be back this week. They're saying he didn't practice today on Wednesday, |
| 2:17.8 | but they're saying he might be out there on Thursday. But let's start off with something from your |
| 2:22.7 | waiver wire column because you put a drop list at the top and you break it down by position, |
| 2:27.5 | you toss out a few names of heavily rostered players that people might want to consider moving on |
| 2:32.7 | from in favor of that new hot |
| 2:34.7 | waiverware target that week. |
| 2:36.6 | And I'm hoping you can help us with a little roster cleaning here, maybe steer people in |
| 2:40.2 | the right direction. |
| 2:40.9 | Because last week in my start sat, start sit stash quick column that I put out on Fridays, I talked |
| 2:46.9 | about Miles Gaskin as somebody that people should be trying to trade, maybe even |
