Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score.

Thank you so much for having us be part of your plans today. I always appreciate that. Hopefully you went back. You listened to Monday show where I went over all the top waiver ads. And then I also did the roundup, all the injuries from the weekend, you know, the normal Monday episode. But then we also got a bunch of updates and confirmations today on some of those injuries. So Justin's on IR James Connor's on IR Devon A-chan he's likely headed

to IR and we talked about all those being a possibility yesterday so you can go back

you can listen to that show if you haven't already I also went and I updated the

week six waiver wire column just to reflect all that news and yes I gave Amari Demercato his own section before I had him listed as a flex option if his starter was out, but I didn't do a write-up for him. Now that Connor is going to be out for four weeks and we know for sure, I figured we had to do a write-up for Demercato. And I'm still a little bit skeptical about what's going to happen in that Cardinals backfield and I'd be looking to add Rocheon Johnson and Taji Spears and Jeff Wilson. All those guys would be pickups for me before Demercato, but he's certainly worth an ad now since he could turn into Arizona's lead back for the next month or maybe even more. We don't really know for sure when Connor will return. And you can go see all my recommended bids too in the column. I've tweaked those a little bit as well. So check that out for sure. I also put up my week six rankings today and I factored in all the news into those too. So there were a lot of little reports and items trickling out throughout the day. And I figured why not just do a quick sweep through it all?

We'll get you caught up here on the Tuesday episode, let you know how I'm approaching things.

Not really major news, but certainly stuff that I'm taking into account for the rankings and for the waiverware ads this week.

So the first one was Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell saying that a Munra St. Brown is on the probable side of

questionable for week six. So that's very, very positive. I didn't put him in the rankings yet

because if you recall, the team was pretty positive about him last week. And so was St. Brown, right?

He said that the plan was for him to play and all that stuff. And he didn't end up practicing.

He was just off to the side working with

trainers last week and eventually he got ruled out so I want to wait to see him at practice

see what he's doing just before I toss him back into the rankings but he's a guy where

if he's playing he's going to be in your lineup so it's not really a tough decision to make

there and if he's active he'll likely be a low end wide receiver one of rankings, unless we hear some sort of report that he's going to be extremely limited or something like that. Seems pretty hopeful, though, so that's a very good sign. And if you're wondering, too, I would still have Josh Reynolds ranked as a wide receiver three flex, even if a Munra's back, because Reynolds has been getting it done alongside the sun got all year.

So I like him as a waiver pickup this week and it's for all the reasons that we talked about yesterday. Travis Kelsey, he was back in the practice field today and that's notable because he tweaked his ankle on Sunday and yes, he did come back into the game, but you never know if that ankle injury is going to swell up a day or so later. The beat writers today said that his ankle was heavily taped, but he was out there and he

logged a limited session.

So that's a good sign for Kelsey plan on Thursday night, short week, tough turnaround for him.

But we'll have to wait to see how the ankle responds to today's practice before we can

really confidently project him as being active Thursday. But right now, I'm expecting him to play, even if he play slightly less snaps. And, you know, he would still be used in really high leverage spots, potentially still score a touchdown. And he's another guy where if he's active, if he's out there, you're certainly going to put Kelsey in your lineup. But you already know that. We got some good news from Austin Echler too.

Looks like he's going to be back this week. He had the buy week to rest up. He came close to playing in week four. Then he got some time off for the buy. And now he's told reporters that he's 99% sure that he's playing this week. So barring any unforeseen setbacks,
