0:00.0	What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Radcliffe and it is Tuesday, October 25th,
0:21.1	week eight waiver wire coming at us. We have officially crossed the halfway point of the
0:25.6	fantasy football regular season. Still a lot of work to be done. And man, what a
0:30.9	week for waivers. We've had some crazy stuff. Devastating injury to breeze hall. We had
0:37.6	the trade, the corresponding trade for James Robinson. We had Matt Ryan getting benched.
0:42.8	Our pets heads are falling off. We got so much to get to. So I'm going to dive right into it.
0:47.6	And honestly, I was sitting here last night, Monday night, as I normally do, writing my waiver wire,
0:52.9	article for FTN fantasy dot com promo code rap hack for 20% off. And I was set to have Michael
1:00.6	Carter as the top ad. Well, he's not the top ad anymore. It's Gus Edwards. And I am willing
1:06.0	to go 50 to 100% on Gus Edwards. Now it should be noted, they did use plenty of justice hill

1:31.3	here going forward. So I'm willing to spend on this dude because this type of running back
1:36.2	an RB two-ish guy doesn't grow on trees. And by the way, I'm not very optimistic about JK Dobbins
1:42.0	being himself this year. He's going to be out four to six weeks. Had the surgery. If it's six weeks,
1:49.3	all right, we have seven weeks left in the fantasy football regular season. We could be out of it
1:53.2	by that point. So I'm and I'll talk about Dobbins and hold and cut later on. Two and three,
1:59.8	Chuba Hubbard and Deontay Foreman. I go upwards to 25% on either of them. Hubbard was the lead back.
2:05.7	Initially, it was very effective. In fact, both of them extremely effective against a very good
2:10.9	Tampa run defense. The reason why I am leaning Hubbard just slightly though is because he was
2:17.1	listed as the lead back. He did have an ankle injury. However, Adam Schefter and others have
