| 0:14.9 | Hey, everybody. |
| 0:15.9 | It's Tuesday, October 3, 2023. |
| 0:19.1 | Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show. |
| 0:21.6 | It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, |
| 0:23.3 | joined by Michael F. Lurio. |
| 0:25.3 | We got a fun one today, folks. |
| 0:26.7 | We are hitting up the fan mailbag to answer some of your biggest questions after week |
| 0:31.0 | four, and our pal Mado Kata is going to drop by with his top waiver wire targets. |
| 0:35.3 | But let's get going with some of your question. |
| 0:40.2 | This one coming from Charlie who asks, |
| 0:43.1 | should I trade Chris Olavé? |
| 0:46.3 | I mean, I feel like I know the answer to that, |
| 0:48.0 | but you go ahead. |
| 0:48.9 | I would say no. |
| 0:49.9 | Like right now, I feel like you're trading him at a low point. |
| 0:53.3 | And then you look at the game he had this past week. |
| 0:55.6 | I know he didn't put up big numbers or anything like that. But he had been seeing big volume previously. |
| 1:03.1 | The big days are coming. Right now, yesterday was more about Derek Carr than anything. |
| 1:07.2 | Yeah, it's surprising that the Saints really went with Carr. I wonder if they're going to sort of reevaluate that because he just didn't look good at all. This one coming from Ziti Boy wants to know, how am I supposed to feel about Jalen Waddle? The Dolphins offense is on fire, but Waddle consistently seems like the odd man out. Ooh, what are you thinking about that one? He did have a touchdown called back due to penalty yesterday. And I know the targets aren't all that high right now, but they weren't all that high last year either. He was averaging less than seven targets per game. Tyreek is the vacuum there. Waddle, maybe he is not going to be a wide receiver one this season, but he's still far too good, I think, and brings too much upside that you got to start him each week. Because the ceiling is so high, right? And like, right now the floor has been very low. I get that part. But the ceiling is so high. It is a little concerning, though, if you've got Jalen Waddle, when you see Braxton Berrios and River Craigcraft and those guys started getting involved in the offense because that does take away from Waddle. |
| 2:02.3 | As you mentioned, Tyreek Hill is going to be the guy. |
