Welcome to a good football show. My name is Pat Karein. Welcome to the week six waiver

0:22.4

wire show on a good football show. I'm joined by NBC Sports Edges John Dagle to break

0:28.0

it all down. Dagle, how's it going? As always, here at Monday, half time, tune in. It's an

0:33.7

interactive show. If you jump in and time. Also, this week is the apocalypse as there are so many

0:41.3

injuries to sift through. Not only that, but the beginning of violets as well, the Falcons,

0:46.7

the Saints, the Jets and the 49ers leave us with holes to fill. On top of the holes, we already need

0:52.6

to stuff with new players in our lineup. So we'll try to get on as many as we can here,

1:47.5

routes. Normally, you're looking at, you know, a guy get targeted on 30% of his routes. That's

1:52.4

that's really, really, really strong. You know, to get targeted on half of routes is pretty wild.

1:57.7

Seems like the first round pick here is exceeding expectations. What are your thoughts in Caderius

2:02.4

Tony Diggle? And he was picked up last week in a lot of high stakes leagues, but in shower leagues,

2:08.1

I bet he was more ignored. And that's why he's so low-rostered because we weren't sure about how
