| 0:00.0 | We'll talk about the injuries mostly to one team, plus the winners and the losers in fantasy football's week five. |
| 0:10.4 | What's up, everybody? This is FFTN5. Welcome. Adam Azor, Heath Cummings here. So just for waiver wire purposes, we should probably start with all these New York Giants injuries. |
| 0:19.9 | And Cadarius Tony, he got a little beat up in the game. |
| 0:23.2 | He also could be facing a suspension. I hope not, but he threw a punch. But he's 17% rostered. Devante Booker, I think, is 7 to 10% rostered. Who's the bigger priority for you right now? You know they'll be popular on the Waverwire. Yeah, I mean, hopefully we get more information about Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton and Kenny Gulliday, but I would guess that it will be Devante Booker just because he is the running back. And anytime a running back comes off the waiver wire, we kind of run that direction. I can't imagine Saquan Barclay is going to play this week. So Booker and Tony will both be in the Waver Wire article towards the top. |
| 0:56.3 | And also Damien Harris leaving with an injury. |
| 0:58.6 | Is this a backfield that you want any part of? |
| 1:06.8 | I'm probably going to be not quite as interested in Stevenson as I am in Booker. |
| 1:27.8 | But I do think in PPR leagues especially where Brandon is still available. He's the guy who I expect, he even got a couple carries in the game after Harris left. And he's going to be heavily involved in the passing game and probably involved in the Red Soom. It was a really exciting week. There was a lot of points. He had some great finishes. You had that wacky game, Cincinnati at Green Bay with all the missed field goals. The Chargers' Cleveland game was terrific. The Lions almost stole one away from Alexander |
| 1:32.5 | Madison and the Vikings. But when you talk about winners and losers, who stand out as |
| 1:37.4 | winners? Well, Tony was one of the biggest winners, but you hate to say a guy's a winner because |
| 1:41.2 | of injuries. I would say Miles Gaskin has to be right up there as well just because his coaching staff at least remember that he exists. |
| 1:48.0 | I'm not ready to say that Miles Gaskin is someone we can trust as a number two running back |
| 1:52.4 | in PPR, but it was good to see the coaching staff use him in a way that's more beneficial to the team. |
| 1:59.0 | How about Cordowell Patterson? |
| 2:04.2 | I mean, he's the greatest thing ever. |
| 2:06.2 | Is he the number one running back in fantasy? |
| 2:08.2 | Number two, probably still behind Derek Henry for the year. |
| 2:11.4 | He's been amazing. |
| 2:14.1 | His role was expanded because Calvin Ridley was out. |
| 2:19.5 | I still probably believe that something will happen to end this at some point in the next few weeks, but he's a top 12 running back until something changes. Okay, losers for you. |
| 2:25.3 | I know you're pretty down on Otto Beckham and Alan Robinson. What would you tell they're |
| 2:28.5 | fantasy managers right now? I would like to hold onto them. I'm not spite dropping them. You cannot start either one of them. And like there's going to, I would like to hold on to them. I'm not spite dropping them. You cannot start either one of them. |
