Hello, everybody. Welcome to the week nine waiver wire episode of a good football show. I am Patrick Dirty filling in for Patrick

Crane joined as always by Mr. Waivers himself, John Deggle. We're going to be looking ahead to this four by week. One that will be just the third without Derek Henry since you joined the NFL in 2016.

John, how are you? Are you ready to strap on your leather helmet and honor of this week's top ad 36 year old?

The waiver wire getting thinner and thinner with every passing week as we are now nearing nearly there, the halfway point of the NFL season.

So the waiver bids suggestions will be higher than normal, especially for one player, we are about to talk about and we will discuss why as we approach another 14 by another 14 by get us a little breather.

And yeah, man, some of these recurring names like the guys who are always under 50% rostered like is not even worth talking like we got nothing left to say about 100 in pro.

We got nothing left to say about any of these tight ends. So I will cut right to the chase the Titans, Derek Henry almost certainly out for the season Adrian Peterson signed on Monday.

Is Adrian Peterson for sure the ad over Jeremy McNichols John and just break what is the new lay of the land in this Titans backfield.

The simple answer is yes, the Titans are averaging 28.7 running back carries per game. We do not expect that number most likely to continue.

You would hope that this no longer Derek Henry under center having said that recall that Adrian Peterson still surprisingly.

I had to go back because I could remember this played 16 games last year. I remember he was in the league.

I didn't realize he was healthy for every single game with the Lions though rushing for seven touchdowns.

But more importantly, it's the situation that AP falls into because Jeremy McNichols now in his fifth year in the league, second with the Titans,

Eclipse two carries in an entire season only once in his first four years and an entire season and has only received more than two carries and a one score game just once across 25 appearances in Tennessee.

And that game was only because Derek Henry was busy rushing for two hundred and twelve yards to get the Texans and needed to be spilled the catches breath between plays.

So when you look at the landscape, a free agent running backs remaining in both shallow and deeper league waiver wires, Boston Scott Carlos Hyde, who will talk about a second tie Johnson and deeper leagues.

Jamaica Haystief Elijah Mitchell's rib injury lingers, which we don't expect it to then Peterson among those names undeniably has the most longevity as a starter among all of them barring injury.

And I think that's why we're loading up as what I am dubbing a James Connor like situation.

That makes a lot of sense and you know, we don't think the Titans can remain possibly as run heavy as they have so far, but like this is a good run blocking offensive line.

We know they're not going to be abandoning the run Adrian Pearson is he's the kind of guy who roll out of bed in average four yards for carry, especially again, the team.

That's given him some good run blocking and some I totally agree with Adrian Adrian.

It's just like it's like a bitter pill, but you got to take it basically like you don't fight City Hall and Adrian Peterson you have, especially you know, we're getting the halfway point of the season.
