Summary

Justin Boone from theScore teams up with us today to break down the top waiver pickups heading into Week 8. Tre'Quan Smith (8:55) appears to be the clear top choice among widely unowned WRs and Courtland Sutton (17:39) is now an intriguing stash with the trade rumors surrounding Demaryius Thomas. Moving on from wideouts, Doug Martin and Jalen Richard (30:53) are easily the primary RBs fantasy owners should target and it may be time to treat C.J. Uzomah (49:26) as a TE you should start most weeks. The end of the show is mainly spent discussing the fantasy football fallout of Amari Cooper's trade to the Cowboys (51:24) and a unique listener question regarding a vetoed trade (56:37).

0:00.0	What's going on guys welcome back into the fantasy pro's football podcast. I'm your host
0:21.1	today Mike Tanglier and it appears that Bobby was simply too depressed about Blake
0:26.1	Bordel's being benched that he could not make it to the show. In reality Bobby is just a bit
0:31.3	under the weather today, but he should be back for Wednesday's sit start show that we'll
0:35.3	be doing, but no worries to fill in. We've got one of the most accurate experts in fantasy
0:40.1	pro's history on the show. The score is Justin Boone. You could find him on Twitter at
0:45.0	Justin Boone. You could find myself at Mike Tanglier NFL. Justin, what is going on after
0:50.3	this nightmare of a week seven of fantasy football that we just had?
0:53.8	It was absolutely bizarre, but I feel like there's been a ton of weeks like that this year
0:57.9	where just guys are vulturing touchdowns just insane, insane outcomes that I don't think any
1:03.3	of us could have predicted. I appreciate you saying one of the most accurate experts in
1:07.5	history. I've never heard it phrase like that before. That's nice. But on weeks like this,
1:11.7	it really doesn't do much for me. It doesn't feel like I'm one of the most accurate people
1:15.3	at all. I feel you on that one, man. Even like, even any Dalton last night thinking that
1:20.4	he could deliver like a top five quarterback performance and watching that happen, unfold
1:25.0	right in front of us. I knew that Andy Dalton would eventually come back down to reality
1:29.3	because we know who Andy Dalton is. It's not like it's his third year in the league
1:32.7	where he's still developing. Andy Dalton is who Andy Dalton is. Losing Tyler Eifer
1:37.1	seems to affect the offense more than some people may have thought. But what was one of
1:41.5	your biggest takeaways from week seven? Was there anything that stood out to you that
1:44.3	you're like, this was something that I actually do want to take away from a crazy week in
1:48.7	fantasy football that, you know, maybe it went a little under the radar because nobody
