| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Roto World Football Show. It is our week five or is it week four. I never know. WaiverWire chat. We are ending week four, where you're looking ahead to week five. We being myself, Patrick Dardy, and Waiver's guru, Kyle DeVorchick. |
| 0:24.6 | His waiver-wired article is now live on the site. |
| 0:27.7 | Kyle, not nearly as big of a week as last week, because thankfully, there weren't as many injuries this week. |
| 0:32.5 | There was one massive injury, and Malik neighbors certified wide receiver one going down for the season. |
| 0:39.0 | Obviously, there's no one-for-one replacement for him in New York, but there's not even really |
| 0:42.6 | a compelling replacement in terms of fantasy and the waiver wire. |
| 0:45.8 | So I doubt the waiver wire ad of the week is coming from the Giants Receiver Corps, |
| 0:49.9 | but where is it coming from? |
| 0:50.9 | Who is the ad of the week heading into Week 5? |
| 0:53.9 | We head southwest to Houston, Texas for rookie running back Woody Marks, who is, I don't want to say entirely completed the takeover of the Texan's backfield. |
| 1:02.0 | But after thoroughly out carrying Nick Chubb and out targeting Nick Chubb in week four, he appears to be at minimum the 1A to this backfield. |
| 1:10.2 | And he was the more enticing option, even on a per carry and per touch basis. |
| 1:13.5 | And that is if it stands right now. |
| 1:15.6 | I really do think there's a runway for him to fully cement himself as not a 1A, but the clear number one with a distant number two backup in Nick Chubb. |
| 1:23.3 | Chubb just hasn't, I mean, it's to be expected, but he's an older running back with a pretty serious injury history coming off of torn ACL Plus and then a broken foot, which ended his season last year. He doesn't look like Nick Chub. He looks like he should be a backup seeing a handful of carries, a handful of tough grinder between the tackle carries every game. And Woody Mark should be the one getting 15 plus touches a game. And I think that's just what they're going to give us from that one. By the way, reminder to get your questions in, get them rolling in so we can start answering them. Oh yeah, Woody Marks, I feel like the floor is now probably 10 to 12 touches and he's not going to get 20 every week or even like 16 to 18 every week, but we now know it's in the range of outcomes so that's |
| 2:02.3 | really really really good news a guy too to see every week the snap percentage has gone up |
| 2:07.3 | the touches have gone up it kind of seemed inevitable a team that's just desperate for a spark |
| 2:12.4 | anywhere they can find it got one and yeah no i just think it's going going up and how are there any receivers it's a really really really really bad week for wide receivers really the problem with what you mentioned with malik neighbors is that wandale actually had a good enough start to the year that he's rostered in enough formats that it's like kind of futile for me to come out and say like you should be adding wandell if you can wouldn't uh. Wouldn't, I mean, check, of course, but he's, he's rostered enough that I don't think he's |
| 2:37.5 | going to be out there. |
| 2:38.4 | And Darius Slayton can take on, you mentioned this on the Tuesday show, can maybe take on a |
| 2:42.3 | handful of the deep shots neighbors was seeing every week, but he's taking on just a handful |
| 2:46.6 | of those and it's not going to be as efficient at converting them. It's also extremely run-heavy team, |
