0:00.0	Let's beat the waiver wire for championship week 17 right now on FFT Express.
0:11.4	Okay, Jamie, let's talk about it.
0:13.6	We got some quarterbacks to pick up.
0:15.3	Who are the names to know?
0:16.7	I think the best one is Tyler Shuck, you know, coming off another strong game.
0:39.5	He was a little overshadowed by Taysam Hill, but, you know, still did well against the Jets. And now a great matchup against the Titans. So he's a borderline top 12 quarterback for me and somebody I'll be looking at to start over Jared Gough, for example, because I'm terrified of golf taking on the Minnesota Vikings. Mariotta, if he plays, has a great matchup against Cowboys. As we know, only two quarterbacks of season have failed to go over 20 fantasy points against Dallas, but Marioita dealing with that hand injury. So I'm to keep an eye on there. After those two, it's kind of a mix of, I haven't really settled on the order yet. We'll get that by Tuesday. But you have Aaron Rogers. We'll find out if D.K.

1:02.1	Bryce Young against a depleted Seattle defense.
1:04.5	He'll probably have to throw in that game, especially if the Seahawks limit the run game for the Panthers.
1:09.5	And then Cam Ward, give credit. He's been playing much better up late, certainly from a fantasy perspective.
1:13.8	And he has a great matchup against the Saints.
1:15.8	So all those quarterbacks could be replacement options, but my favorite is Tyler Schump.
1:19.7	Yeah.
1:20.0	And Cam Ward, I don't think people are going to really trust him, but he's thrown one pick
1:25.7	in his last eight games,
1:27.7	and it's killing these DSTs that we keep streaming against the Titans.
1:32.6	So just keep that in mind if you have the Saints DST,
1:35.4	who certainly came through last week.
1:37.5	Okay, running back is really interesting, Jamie.
1:40.3	Ramandre Stevenson, someone that might have been dropped,
