Joe Wix is on a mission.

0:02.0

I want to make this and sell it.

0:04.0

He's creating a protein bar.

0:05.0

This is ultra-processing.

0:07.0

That could potentially kill you.

0:08.0

I want the maximum amount of each harmful ingredient while staying within the legal limit.

So just how ridiculous the food system really is.

FFT Express, it is waiver wire time right now with Jamie Eisenberg.

0:28.2

All right, Jamie.

0:29.4

What's it going to be who we picking up on waivers this week?

0:33.0

Hopefully players that will help you.

0:34.4

I mean, that's the best advice we could give.

0:36.5

No, look, there's some help out wide receiver. You know, you start with Antabian Wix, who's going to step into Christian Watson's, you know, vacated targets and hopefully do some better things than Watson did. 13 targets last week against Minnesota. Score two touchdowns. He's been very good going back to the end of last year. And now this week four game when there's been an opportunity for him to play and clearly there's an

0:56.4

opportunity from to play and play at a high level. Uh, Xavier Legates coming up strong game, 10 targets, six catches, 66 yards and a touchdown. No Adam Thielen for at least the next three games. So he took advantage of that opportunity. Tough matchup in week five against the bears, but hard to overlook his now potential role in this Panthers offense.

1:13.0

Wondell Robinson has been three of four games with eight plus targets and six plus catches.

1:19.0

11 and a half PPR points are more in those three in those three games where he had those chances.

1:23.6

And the fourth game that he didn't get those catches, he scored a touchdown.

1:26.2

So Seattle's defense has really banged up. And I think that Wanda Robinson also is now at least a number three receiver in PPR moving forward. So those are my three favorite guys. But there's Jordan Whittington, there's two to out well. I basically put them somewhat on equal footing. I like Wittington better in PPR, Atwell better and nine in half. But Wittington is going to get a big role. They're both going to

1:44.2

get big roles. You know, DeMarcus Robbins is dealing with a groin injury. You know Puka and Cup are not going to play anytime soon. So those two guys are going to be the featured options for Matthew Stafford and they have a favorable matchup this week against the Packers, especially if Jaya Alexander stays out. I don't know how much more you want to keep going with the receivers, but there's There good amount of guys, Josh Downs, you know, especially if Joe Flacco plays, is in a great spot, just had, you know, I think nine catches, eight catches, scored a touchdown with Flacco against Pittsburgh. So he's going to be involved. Romeo Dobbs didn't mention him. He's another person, another player for the Packers that should benefit with the Watson injury. So there's lots of ways you can go at the receiver spot. But some guys that could be certain starters, certainly could be starters for you in three receiver leagues. I think one of the most interesting players is Trace Sermon this week, Jonathan Taylor, uncertain. So where would you rank Trace Serman if Taylor's out and like, how do you play this?

2:51.7

And hopefully be nice to run waivers on Wednesday night. You get a little bit more information. But how you play this right now? If you have Jonathan Taylor, you should probably make Sermon somewhat of a priority, just at least get the starting running back for the Colts on your team. If you need to just make a swap come Sunday, we're probably going to have to play this out throughout the week. It's a mild high ankle sprain.

2:53.9

Taylor expressed some optimism after the game.
