| 0:00.0 | I'm going to go and Hello and welcome to a week five edition of the Establish the Run Waver Wire show. |
| 0:21.8 | My name is Adam Levitan. Each and every Tuesday joined by this season long bro, you know and love John Dagle to talk pickups for this week. |
| 0:31.0 | Dagle, how's it going today? Doing well and an exciting episode because I would say if you were the person who missed out |
| 0:39.0 | on Jordan Mason week one and I've just been holding on to that pile of fab for the last month. |
| 0:45.4 | Week five is your time to shine. |
| 0:48.2 | Time to spend some money you're saying, Taggle. |
| 0:50.2 | It's that time. |
| 0:51.2 | Hopefully, the real hope, actually actually is that you were using the one injury away list and you already had |

| 1:28.6 | If Dontavian Wicks is out there, what you are looking at is a short term for sure boost. |
| 1:34.4 | Christian Watson reportedly not going to go on I.R. with his ankle injury |
| 1:38.6 | but look bad enough that I think you can miss two, three, four weeks maybe. |
| 1:44.0 | But then you also have chances of course that Romeo Dobbs could get hurt |
| 1:46.7 | and you have chances that Jane and Reed could get hurt as well. |
| 1:49.7 | Wicks would benefit from all of those. |
| 1:51.5 | So that's kind of why I thought that Wicks should have always been owned |
| 1:54.4 | because no matter who gets hurt in the top three, |
