• After the bye week, Chuba Hubbard has a favorable matchup against Houston, making him a viable option.

“Chuba Hubbard who’s been very good.”

Other notable running backs 31:36

• Jeff Wilson is a viable pickup for the San Francisco 49ers, especially given the favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Top Wide Receiver Waiver Pickups 00:03

• Rashi Rice, Josh Downs, Wondale Kendrick born Rashid Shahid are top names in the wide receiver position with less than 50% rostered.
• Rice has shown great speed and performance when given the opportunity.
• [Quote] “Now when Rashi Rice has been given the ball things happen. He’s also, he’s extremely fast north and south. So they’ve put putting him into a position where he can show that speed off.” 38:09

• Kendrick and Shahid have been making splash plays.

“So I think that he is the best long term pickup.” 38:20

Other Wide Receiver Options 00:06

• Wandaille Robinson is a favorite waiver pickup this week, especially in full PPR leagues.
• Robinson has had consistent receptions in the past three weeks.
• Paris Campbell had zero routes and Robinson had eight receptions for 62 yards.

“If you’re in a full PPR league, Wandaille probably shouldn’t be on waivers and he is actually widely available.” 39:17

Evaluating Wide Receiver Choices 00:07

• Downs is preferred over Robinson due to his consistent performance.
• Robinson’s offense is not reliable and he has had his best game without his starting quarterback.
• Darius Slayton is also an option with good deep passes from Daniel Jones.

Evaluating Jahan Dotson and Quentin Johnston 00:13

• John Dotson has been a disappointment in terms of performance and targets.
• Quinton Johnson is also likely a drop.
• Both Dotson and Johnson have not shown consistent talent.

Tight End Waiver Pickups 00:15

• Pat Friarmyth is a top pickup if available in your league.
• Jake Ferguson, despite a bad performance, doesn’t establish himself as a reliable starter.

Michael Mayer and Other Tight End Options 00:19

• Michael Mayer is a more talented rookie tight end with increasing involvement in the Raiders’ offense.
• Johnny Smith and Gerald Everett are also potential pickups to consider.

Luke Musgrave‘s Fantasy Value 45:57

• Luke Musgrave plays for a good offense and receives a lot of playing time, making him a valuable fantasy option among a pool of mediocre tight ends.
• Musgrave is returning from a bye week, which makes him even more enticing for fantasy managers.

Trey McBride‘s Role in the Offense 46:46

• Trey McBride has been seeing an increased role compared to Zach Ertz in the offense, with more routes and snaps in recent games.
• While McBride’s performance in one game might have been affected by garbage time, he still managed to make an impact, with four receptions for 62 yards.
• It’s worth paying attention to this trend, as it could indicate a further transition towards McBride and a decreased role for Ertz.

“I’m not making anything of it, but I’m paying attention to it…if this transition goes further this week…you need to be aware of that and shift the expectations.”

Cleveland Browns Defense 47:38

• The Cleveland Browns defense is a solid pickup for fantasy managers, as they have been performing well and have a favorable schedule.
• With upcoming games against the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, who have struggled offensively, the Browns defense is poised to excel.
• Additionally, the Browns have an appealing playoff schedule with matchups against the Chicago Bears, Houston Texans, and New York Jets.

“The Cleveland Browns are…one of the best defenses in the league…they are widely available and they shouldn’t be…I would put them on your team and keep them on your team.”

Other Defensive Streamers 49:46

• The Las Vegas Raiders defense is a good streaming option, as they have shown strong performances in recent weeks, limiting the Green Bay Packers to 13 points and the New England Patriots to 17 points.
• The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense is another solid choice, playing against the Atlanta Falcons, who have been trailing in games and prone to turnovers.
• The Jacksonville Jaguars defense could be a sneaky play against the struggling New Orleans Saints offense.

“I’m going to throw the Raiders out there…I think they’re a great option…I think the Raiders are a great option…the Buccaneers…just solid…look for them if they’re not there today when you’re making your claims look for them tomorrow…the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Saints…I love playing defenses against broken things.”

Streamable Quarterback Options 51:11

• Sam Howell is a recommended streamer this week, facing the New York Giants, who recently had a tough game against the Buffalo Bills.
• Brock Purdy is worth considering as a streamer for Monday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings, who have a high completion rate allowed.
• Geno Smith could be a viable option against the Arizona Cardinals, who rank 31st in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks.

“I’m going to go with Sam Howell…quietly the quarterback 12 on the season…I’ll throw Brock Purdy out there…the redemption game for Brock Purdy…Geno Smith…playing against Cardinals…look for them if they’re not there today when you’re making your claims look for them tomorrow.”
