| 0:00.0 | All right, bonus pod for you here. We just got done finishing finishing up an hour and 15 minute podcast talking starter sit and then we get the news that the Titans and the Steelers are postponed. So guys, what do we know right now? What a fantasy managers need to know? |
| 0:17.0 | Well, we know that they're not going to have Derek Henry, Ryan Tannahill, John Ismith, you're not going to have Ben Rothisberger, Drew Duce, Mishooster, James Conner. |
| 0:26.0 | So you have to adjust and this is basically now the Steelers and Titans by week. At least that's the way I would anticipate it being rules. And so we have to figure out when this game is going to be replayed and how to adjust your schedule moving forward. |
| 0:39.0 | But the good thing is is that you can prepare for this before the Thursday night game to get guys into your lineup and have replacement options as opposed to if it would have been after Thursday or certainly closer to the weekend where you don't have the chance to make some waiver wire. |
| 0:54.0 | If you have not, and I suggested this off season, not specifically for this purpose, but kind of for this purpose. |
| 1:00.0 | I suggested that your waivers should run on Tuesday night slash Wednesday. And then it should be first come first serve for the rest of the week. And I know Adam kind of hates that. |
| 1:10.0 | If you chose not to do that and you're listening to this before the Thursday games, you should make it first come first serve today. |
| 1:18.0 | If nothing else just for today. So people have a chance to go pick up those Thursday night players to start them in place of their Steelers and Titans. |
| 1:28.0 | Like who? Who's available that you'd actually start tonight? |
| 1:33.0 | Well, I mean, like you may have to get pretty desperate in this situation. |
| 1:38.0 | Frank Moore is not bad in a game against a Broncos defense that's down in Jurelle Casey and he's getting a lot of work for what we're looking at. |
| 1:45.0 | You're talking about I still think Jeff Wilson is going to have a role as long as where he most are doesn't play for the 49ers. |
| 1:52.0 | There are a lot of receivers you can find Greg Ward is going to get a lot of targets for the Eagles with most likely no out Sean Jeffrey and no Dishon Jackson. |
| 2:01.0 | And even if Jeffrey does play, he is rostered in 20% of leagues. There's, you know, I'm trying to think it's a run for. |
| 2:10.0 | Cold, cold, cold, easily too wide receivers. You could find that are probably going to get a lot of targets. |
| 2:15.0 | Robert Tanyan, if you're looking for a tight end replacement, has scored in two straight games and is facing the defense that allows the most fantasy points to opposing Titans. |
| 2:22.0 | So there are guys out there for you. And obviously you're looking at no Rothersberger and no Ryan Tannahill. |
| 2:29.0 | Ryan Fitzpatrick is in a great spot against the Seattle defense that's miserable. Teddy Bridgewater is probably going to be throwing a lot in a matchup that hopefully he has more than one touchdown. |
| 2:39.0 | So Nick Folls is now a starter for the Bears and just came off a 23 point outing where he didn't even start the game. It's tough matchup. But again, you're stuck. |
| 2:47.0 | So this is this is the nightmare and you know the fact that it it's it's happening without you know prior to Tuesday when you run waivers. |
| 2:57.0 | But it's also prior to the games being played. So you have the entire rest of the slate to go find some scraps that can hopefully get you by. |
| 3:06.0 | And you're probably not the only person deal with this. We're talking about, you know, six to eight guys that are really fantasy relevant in a lot of cases. |
