| 0:00.0 | If you would have advanced to week 16, who are you picking up on the waiver wire? Let's take a look right now on FFT Express. Right. A lot of names. A lot of injuries means a lot of names on the waiver wire. So who are the headliners? Jamie Eisenberg is here to tell us. What's up, Jamie? How's the Raven wire Are you looking? It's interesting. Like you said, there's a lot of, a lot of injuries. You know, we'll see if these injury replacements can step up and perform at a high level. But when you lose Patrick Mahomes, you lose most likely Devante Adams. You have a lot of running back injuries that we could see some replacement guys. Not ideal for week 16, not ideal for the fantasy semifinals, but here we are. Yeah, so who's the best player to get or some of the best players to get this week? I think when you look at the running back position, you start with Michael Carter. And I know you may say Jacorri Croski Merritt is the better of the two because of body of work and what he's done. But you know, you look at the matchup here. Washington's not going to, I think, have a lot of success running against Philadelphia, especially if Jalen Carter returns. And Michael Carter gets to face an Atlanta defense that, you know, has really been bad against running back. So I'm going to lean Carter over Crosky Merit. You have the situation in Denver with R.J. Harvey out. |
| 1:11.5 | So Jal McLaughlin most likely is the best bet there. |
| 1:14.6 | You have the situation in New Orleans where I'm going to lean Audrick Estimate over Evan Hull in that scenario. |
| 1:22.0 | And then at wide receiver, for me, you know, there's really not a guy in in um for the rams that i like the best so you look |
| 1:31.0 | at the situation with christian watson i'm going to go jaden reed you know hope that what we seen from him |
| 1:35.7 | in his career a little bit better than matthew golden the golden obviously worth adding as well but |
| 1:40.4 | uh jaden reid hopefully has an opportunity here against a bear's defense that he could have some |
| 1:43.9 | success you said r j harvey out was that well, but Jayden Reed hopefully has an opportunity here against a bear's defense that he could have some success. |
| 1:45.4 | You said RJ Harvey out. |
| 1:48.1 | Was that just you meant yesterday? |
| 1:49.4 | If RJ Harvey's out. |
| 1:50.6 | If RJ Harvey. |
| 1:51.3 | We don't know anything yet, right? |
| 1:52.9 | So the running back injuries that we're looking at here, and we don't know definitively |
| 1:58.1 | except anyone, but Zonovanovan knight so we're talking about um |
| 2:06.6 | we're talking about what he marks looks like he's going to be able to play uh devon yel we don't |
| 2:10.4 | know r j harvey we don't know and um alma kamarra we don't know okay uh yeah Yeah, was there anything? Yeah, it was a rough week for injuries for sure. Okay. Quarterbacks, who are we looking at here? I think you got to go mention number one. You know, it's a great matchup. And so imagine we have Patrick Mahomes taking on the Titans. It's just really unfortunate. |
| 2:35.0 | But with Mahomes out, you know, just from a one week situation, I think he's got to go week by week at this point, you know, not looking at week 17. But Mitch you taking on the Titans, it's been seven of eight quarterbacks, 21.6 fantasy points or more. Four in a row have done that. So I'm going to give him into a slight edge over Bryce Young and Tyler Shuck. |
| 2:51.0 | None of these guys are in my top 12. |
| 2:52.9 | So you are talking about desperate situations. I feel like you, I feel like you're missing my man. I don't know why he's my man, but right now, Kirk Cousins at Arizona. So Cousins on the list, but we never know which Kirk Cousins is going show up. Yeah, it looks like Drake London might show up. They're calling him day to day. But, man, it's going to be tempting some of these guys. Trevor, we just got done talking about Trevor Lawrence at Denver. You on Trevor Lawrence or Waverwire? Right now I have Lawrence still ranked ahead of those those guys but it's close it's really close okay |
| 3:26.1 | i think when you when you look at it when you look at minchu against the titans when you look at |
| 3:30.9 | shuck and young and their matchups young taking on Tampa bay uh shuck taking on the jets they just gave |
