Summary
It's that time of year again when fantasy owners drastically overreact to situations that happened in Week 1 of the NFL season. I give my thoughts on some of the names that are shooting up in priority on waivers and whether or not they make sense. Also, I highlight why you should not put too much into stock as to what happened on the opening week of the season as many fans tend to do.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Fantasy Throw Down Podcast, bringing you the latest updates from the world of sports, |
| 0:08.3 | gambling and pop culture, because you can't have a show without hot takes or a Tiger King meme these days. |
| 0:17.0 | Know what I'm saying? |
| 0:18.0 | Now with over 200 episodes and ready to get after it again, here's your host, |
| 0:24.6 | Dwayne calendar. |
| 0:27.1 | Hello, welcome to the show folks. |
| 0:29.4 | I had originally planned on recording this episode later in the week about overreacting to |
| 0:36.1 | week one in the NFL, but in regular fantasy we have waiver wires and I just saw ridiculous advice being through bandied |
| 0:47.6 | about on waiver wire pickups, especially when it comes to free agency acquisition budget figures. |
| 0:57.0 | As to who you should pick up in week two. |
| 1:00.0 | Now, the number one injury item that popped up over the weekend was Eli |
| 1:06.4 | Mitchell of the 49ers running back got hurt out with a knee injury for a couple of weeks. |
| 1:15.0 | I have heard from like just, like various websites that are supposedly well that you should allocate half your free agency acquisition budget for the entire year, all $100 or $200, |
| 1:36.6 | like you should allocate 50% of your budget on his backup, Jeff Wilson. |
| 1:42.4 | Let me... his backup, Jeff Wilson. |
| 1:44.6 | Let me just say, the 49ers have always used multiple backups. |
| 1:50.6 | That's why for he, most there, never became much of anything after the Super Bowl run for the 49 is because they always had other dudes one of whom was Elijah Mitchell. |
| 2:01.0 | So to say that one guy on the 49ers is going to replace the bulk load of work for Mitchell, when he gets her, is the epitome of idiocy. |
| 2:13.0 | And I'm trying to be respectful here, |
| 2:16.0 | but it is malfeasance to give advice |
| 2:20.0 | to say Jeff Wilson is the guy after Eli Mitchell gets hurt. Yes, are the 49ers going to rely on Jeff |
| 2:29.0 | Mitchell more than they would have originally planned to without question. |
