0:00.0	Wavrewire Week 8. Let's talk to the pros.
0:21.0	Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football podcast.
0:24.4	This is Joey P, Joey Zepia and it's Wavrewire time again. But now it's Week 8 and of course Derek Brown,
0:30.8	Deep Bro. The King of Bros is going to join me to talk about all the guys to pick up because there
0:34.6	were a lot of injuries this week in case you didn't notice. So I hope you have some fab left because
0:40.0	you're going to need it all. And of course there's nobody better than my good pal who's joining us
0:44.7	today. My brother from another mother from across the pond. Lord Adam Murphy, the host of the
0:50.7	Five Yard Rush podcast, Murf. You can follow him on Twitter at Murf underscore NFL. Murf, a lot of
0:56.9	injuries yesterday, which one was the most crushing for you as I press the guest after all the
1:02.6	injury dust has settled, which one's really killed your teams the most. I mean, I think really
1:08.8	briefs haul just because I was quite early on picking him up. He wasn't drafted all that much

1:29.6	getting really good value in him and some drafts towards the end. He was going towards
1:33.0	to a late fourth round and you're thinking, yeah, I'll take some of that. And yeah, that one's
1:37.2	going to be a killer as well. So brutal days, you say, it's been a brutal season. I mean, like you're
1:42.0	doing your rankings on on a on a Sunday and you got 20 wide receivers on the injury report or
1:48.0	questionable. Yeah, it's very hard. It's been very difficult. And it's funny. You mentioned
1:54.1	about the value you're getting on DK, price enforcing, I think that is that's my big takeaway from
1:58.8	this season. I had inflexally deep row and I've talked about this before. I talked about it with
2:02.5	Pat actually this morning where Josh Jacobs floated to me as my third running back in that draft
