Zach Charbonnet and Keaton Mitchell 18:46

Kenneth Walker and Keaton Mitchell 18:58

• Ken Walker has been irrelevant for fantasy despite his snap share and lacks volume and opportunity.
• Keaton Mitchell, an undrafted rookie from East Carolina, has been unexpectedly great with his speed and performance.

Fantasy Options at Running Back 23:11

• There is no clear number one pickup at the running back position this week.
• Insurance options or backup running backs with potential are more suitable for fantasy managers.

“Maybe take a shot on Keaton Mitchell… backup guys who might sky forward with an injury ahead of them.”

Other Running Backs to Consider 23:20

• Tevin Coleman should be picked up if you have James Robinson, and Elijah Mitchell if you have Christian McCaffrey.
• Joshua Kelly is not recommended due to his previous missed opportunities.

“Pick up your insurance running backs… Don’t put in Joshua Kelly.”

Wide Receivers to Add 26:12

• Must-add receivers who are still available in about 60% of leagues are Tajae Sharpe and Jahan Dotson.

Balance and Volatility in Rosters 27:56

Jameson Williams vs. Quentin Johnston 32:37

• Jameson Williams is the preferred choice over Quentin Johnston.
• Johnston had red flags as a prospect, while Williams was highly regarded in college.
• The matchup against the Chargers makes Williams an attractive option.

“If I had to pick between those two guys it would be Jameson Williams.”

Cedric Tillman 34:45

• Cedric Tillman, a rookie wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns, is worth considering in deep leagues.
• His playing time has increased recently, and if Baker Mayfield performs well, Tillman could become more involved in the offense.

“If Watson gets back into some form of playing good ish… I think there’s a chance that Cedric Tillman gets involved.”

Josh Reynolds 35:27

• Josh Reynolds of the Detroit Lions is a viable option for immediate starting needs.
• Despite a slower performance recently, Reynolds still receives significant playing time.
• The matchup against the Chargers could lead to a high-scoring game and opportunities for Reynolds.

QB Streamers and Waiver Wire 45:01

• The Manders had an 80 QBR in his final season, but he’s 30 years old, so he’s not a desirable option.

“He’s 30 years old. 80. No no no. That’s a pass.”

• The Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks defenses are in play against Kenny Pickett and the Manders.
• Sam Howell, while initially struggling, has shown improvement in the past two weeks.

“The Raiders are in play. The Green Bay Packers are in play against Kenny Pickett. Would you play Seattle against the Manders. Yeah. Sam Howell has been has he’s on pace to be the most set quarterback ever but the past two weeks have been better.”

• After an embarrassing loss, teams often come back with motivation and perform better.

“When there’s an embarrassing loss you often come back with the foot on the gas and the Seahawks were embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens this last week and I’m not going to take that as the new normal. I’m going to take that as the new motivation.”

• There was confusion between QBR (Quarterback Rating) and QBR (a statistic invented by ESPN).

“We do also have an update Jason that is definitely quarterback rating that is not QBR. We’re talking so like is the Q quarterback rating. Not QBR. No it is not. What is QBR.”

• Zach Wilson‘s QBR is 32, and he is not performing well.

“Zach Wilson is at 32 right now. So Carson Wentz is in fact like I said a margin. Okay. And then the Atlanta Falcons.”

“Okay. Maybe we need to update the label to pass or rating but there you go. But his his QBR which was the statistic invented by ESPN. It was 34 in Washington and that goes to 100.”

Defenses to Consider 46:56

• The Panthers defense might not be reliable, so it’s tough to trust them against the Chicago Bears.

“Oh man it’s really tough to trust the Panthers. I mean Jake Riz does not approve but I would trust the Bears against the Panthers.”

• The Atlanta Falcons defense may not be a good choice against Kyler Murray in his first game back.

“No no no I’m not. In fact let’s go to full stream ahead and you’ll find out why.”

“My streamer is Taylor Heineke against that Arizona team because they are bad and Taylor Heineke he at least has weapons.”

“The Cardinals are 28th in schedule-adjusted points, 29th in yards per attempt, and 31st in completion percentage allowed. They are a bad bad defense.”
