Let's talk winners and losers from week three next on fantasy football today in five.

0:10.6

Welcome to FFT in five. I'm Chris Towers. I'm here with Adam Azer and, oh boy, Dolphins offense.

0:17.5

I mean, I feel like this is like the third week in a row to start the season where we've

0:23.7

said there might be a league winning waiver wire ad. And I think maybe Jerome Ford probably won't

0:30.3

end up being that. Devin A chain, he might because he's going to have value in this offense.

0:38.2

This is a Miami offense that wants to use multiple running backs.

0:40.8

That's what we saw all year last year pretty much.

0:43.8

And he looked dynamic, explosive, whatever adjective you want to say,

0:49.3

it's hard to overstate how good Devon A chain was,

0:52.9

200 plus rushing yards.

0:54.8

They were scheming up these awesome no look shovel passes for him in the red zone.

1:00.8

How much of your fab are you dropping on Devon A chain if he's available?

1:04.5

It's 43% of leagues.

1:07.2

Thankfully, I think there's no way he's available in any of my leagues because I know I'm

1:11.6

I just probably not going to get him.

1:13.1

But how much of my fab?

1:16.2

I would say 50%.

1:19.3

Yeah, I was thinking at least 45%.

1:21.3

Yeah, but, you know, I saw Jerome Ford.

1:24.2

I was recommending 70% on Jerome Ford, who did score two touchdowns today. But some people took it too far and went 100%. So I wouldn't do that really for any player, unless it was, you know, Jamar Chase. But is like that. But yeah, I think about 40 to 50% is a good spot for A-Chane. All right. Before, and he's by far the biggest, a waiver wire target in my eyes. Although, Tankdale, Nathaniel Dell, 56% rostered. He should be 100% rostered after this week. He might be the number one wide receiver for the Texans moving forward. But let's move on to a couple of the injuries that we need to talk about. Derek Carr suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder. Seems set to miss, I would say at least one week, possibly more,

2:07.3

but sounds like he avoided a serious season ending type of injury. What do you expect from

2:12.5

James Winston? Is he just a QB2? And do you think this offense is just going to keep rolling?
