Waiverwire Madness, here we go on FFT Express. What's up, everybody? All right, early look at the waiver wire. Monday, October 20th. Obviously, we will break it down in-depth. Dave, I believe, is going to talk about Aranda Gads. I have a hunch. She's going to talk about Aonday Gadsden tomorrow. And deservedly sell.

But, Jamie, who's your headliner for the early waiver wire?

Aranda Gadsden.

I mean, it's a pretty bad week of options in most redraft leagues, one-quarterback redraft leagues

because of, thankfully, the lack of injuries. But, you know, even with the replacement options of the guys that have stepped up, there's no real like, oh my God, this is a plug-in-play starter. Maybe you can make the case for Joe Flacco, just based on what he's done in the last two weeks and his matchup against the Jets. If you need a quarterback, remember, there are six teams on a buy. but running back, thankfully, the biggest injury, and I say this, you know, because it's not a big name player, but it's Kendra Miller, suffered a torn ACL. So he's going to be the one that's missing. And as we know, not a must start, you know, player at this point. So in the case of the wide receivers, there the continuing theme of yeah maybe this guy can help

you as a plug-in play type of option uh but really the tight-end position um is where you could find

a starter and that's with the run i guess yeah six teams on by obviously so that's huge and

gatsden i actually we were just talking about him kind of in depth on Beyond the Box score. And I said, I don't really think I'm going to make, I haven't looked at all my teams, obviously. In my mind, I don't know that I'm going to be putting in any claims for him. And with that said, I do think he serves me one of the top waiver wire guys. But I't know i'm not going to drop i don't think

i'm going to drop kyle pitts for him i don't think i'm going to drop dallas goddard for him

just kind of seems like a lot of lateral moves you know so i'll probably stand pat at tight end

i don't i don't know that he's a can i don't think he's going to be consistent uh unfortunately

so uh you know not to belabor the point because i'm sure we're going to talk about this again but i think when you look at the tight end position you start to put these guys in categories and we just got while we're recording this darren waller's going to miss some time with uh with the chest injury so there's one replacement option that ironday gas can help for you know, when you're talking about the teams that are on by this week, and that's factoring, and we don't know if Dalton Kincaid is going to return after dealing with the oblique injury last week. You're down Sam LaPorte, you're down Tray McBride, you're down. I guess those would be the top two guys in terms of tight ends that are missing.

So replacing Waller, replacing the Borda, replacing McBride, still trying to replace Bowers, who's on a buy. I'm sorry, Bauer's on a buy, excuse me. Yeah. Still trying to replace Bauer's on a buy. So there's a lot of, you know, star power at that position that's missing right now. And then when you go to, okay, six teams are going to buy plus all the other injuries that we're dealing with, guys are going to be a flex. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. There's some appeal there. But yes, this is, he's the best one to add this week for sure. He plays on Thursday. So you can see if your team's going to get off to a good start. All right. How about the quarterbacks? So we've got Arizona, Detroit, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, the Rams, the Seahawks. Could be worse, I suppose, from a quarterback perspective, but some good ones, certainly on by next week. Who should we be adding? I'm going to go Joe Flacco first. you know over over 22 fantasy points in the first two starts with the Bengals gets the Jets this week. He's averaging 46 pass attempts in the two starts with Cincinnati, which we love. And so given how this team's going to operate, it's not just a short-term thing. It's a long-term thing because he's going to be their guy until Joe Burrow does come back if that happens. And so to me right now, I know no mobility and, you know, there's going to be some

pitfalls at some point because it's still a bad offensive line.

And clearly the team was struggling before they beat the Steelers, but just based on what

he's able to do, the receiving cord that he has, how these games will most likely go,

we're probably looking at 40 plus pass attempts on a regular. We're looking at two of the best receivers or one of the best receiver duos in the NFL. Like you want to half him if you need him. And I think a lot of people will want to have him and need him. Okay. Remember the Geico commercial? When you have or Affleck, when you have them.

That's when you need them or when you don't.

Yeah, whatever, the yogi bear.

Yeah, there's Michael Penix.

I assume it's going to be on the list as well.

He's facing the dolphins.
