| 0:31.7 | Yeah, of course you do. |
| 0:33.2 | Everyone's got injuries, so let's help you out right now on FFT Express. |
| 1:27.6 | Welcome to the show. It's been a very rough start to the season with so many key players, missing time. And now Isaiah Pacheco is out six to eight weeks. Debo Samuel is going to miss time with the cap injury. Cooper Cup. It's crazy and plenty more. A.J. Brown's going to miss another week, it seems. I'm Adamazer with Jamie Eisenberg. Let's get to it. Give me our waiver wire quarterbacks that we're looking at, Jamie. Derrick Carr would be the first one to go get, and he feels like he might be the safest of any fantasy option to add off the waiver wire this week. Unfortunately, he plays in the deepest position for fantasy managers. butrick Carr, Gino Smith, Deshawn Watson. I think Carr and Smith can be long-term answers. And Watson could be a one-week solution because, hey, guess what? He's facing the Giants. Yeah. And who are some quarterbacks that you would drop for Derek Carr or someone else?

But, you know, if you're dealing with some of those struggling performances, why not take a chance on a guy who's as hot as Carras is in a new situation that's working out well for him? Yeah, look, it's with Purdy. This is a guy that I was targeting a lot. I didn't end up drafting him in a lot of real drafts, mostly mocks. |
| 1:59.4 | But McCaffrey, having no McCaffrey, I think, is hurting him. |
| 2:02.1 | And now no Debo? |
| 2:03.5 | Like, it's not super appealing right now |
| 2:05.6 | for Brock Purdy. So I get that. What about Caleb Williams for car? Yeah, Caleb Williams, |
