WEBVTT
00:00:02.964 --> 00:00:07.432
Informed, outspoken, wild, fearless.
00:00:07.432 --> 00:00:11.707
This is the Fantasy Football Dudes podcast.
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:15.885
What is up, my dudes?
00:00:15.885 --> 00:00:20.585
This is Trent with the Fantasy Football Dudes podcast, I am joined by myself.
00:00:20.585 --> 00:00:25.051
This is my solo waiver wire show that I look forward to bringing to you every single week.
00:00:25.051 --> 00:00:30.172
This is our week six transactions and I have 12 waiver ads.
00:00:30.172 --> 00:00:36.490
If you want all the waiver ads I go more in depth on the email Go to wwwthefantasyfootballdudescom.
00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:37.503

There will be a link in the show notes.
00:00:39.225 --> 00:00:43.472
We are available for every list in the podcast If you don't have time for the YouTube videos.
00:00:43.472 --> 00:00:48.682
But before we get started, remember to give us a rate, give us a sub, give us a thumbs up, leave a comment If you have any questions.
00:00:48.682 --> 00:00:51.168
I'll get to those as fast as I can.
00:00:51.168 --> 00:00:54.649
So week six, week five is in the books.
00:00:54.649 --> 00:00:58.765
We are jumping into week six, starting this off like I always do.
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.667
This is kind of like a pumpkin patch transactions.
00:01:01.667 --> 00:01:15.007
That's the thing with this time of year, guys as the leaves shift in color, the crispness of the air singles the arrival of fall, the seasons bring cooler weather, candy corn and football season is in full swing.
00:01:15.007 --> 00:01:19.751
Falls' positivity certainly outweigh its minor inconveniences.
00:01:19.751 --> 00:01:27.608
It presents unique challenges, though, as me, as a husband and as a father, sometimes the annual trip to the pumpkin patch.
00:01:27.608 --> 00:01:29.566
Guys, you know what I'm talking about.
00:01:29.566 --> 00:01:30.923
It's no good.
00:01:30.923 --> 00:01:33.867
It's one Saturday a year or Sunday a year.
00:01:33.867 --> 00:01:42.609
You and the fam got to go to the pumpkin patch and pretend you're buying local pumpkins that they haul in on a truck from miles, hours, maybe states, away.
00:01:42.609 --> 00:01:50.746
Usually they come up northern my area, the Midwest, northern American, northern West Coast kind of where they bring these pumpkins in.
00:01:50.746 --> 00:01:52.882
They aren't local For all I know.
00:01:52.882 --> 00:01:55.228
They're buying them in a grocery store and they're charging you double.
00:01:55.228 --> 00:01:59.685
But you know what they get you there and they have admission, these pumpkin patches, they've got to go.
00:01:59.685 --> 00:02:05.269
As a farmer, I hear about you guys on the East Coast and the South going apple picking.
00:02:05.269 --> 00:02:06.290
What is that?
00:02:06.290 --> 00:02:07.272
I farm tree fruit.
00:02:07.272 --> 00:02:09.586
I should start charging people to pick my fruit.
00:02:09.586 --> 00:02:11.968
It is amazing that people do this kind of stuff.
00:02:11.968 --> 00:02:16.109
But the pumpkin patches fall, they happen to happen in the fall.
00:02:16.109 --> 00:02:16.830
It's terrible.
00:02:16.830 --> 00:02:19.948
All you guys out there you're hitting your pound, your chest, going like this.
00:02:19.948 --> 00:02:28.340
Guy understands, I understand, and you single guys who don't understand, just cherish these moments, just enjoy those flannels by yourself.
00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:33.347
You have to go out there and take all those pictures and all that stuff, but I'm going to bring this back into waivers.
00:02:33.347 --> 00:02:34.304
This will all make sense.
00:02:34.304 --> 00:02:39.531
And maybe you're just thinking like, hey, man, chill out a little bit, here's the deal.
00:02:39.531 --> 00:02:43.629
Though You're like, hey, big deal, it's two hours, yeah, big deal.
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.335
I'm a Sooners fan, had to miss the Red River rivalry to go to the pumpkin patch.
00:02:48.335 --> 00:02:49.599
Yeah, I had fun.
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:50.786
Yeah, I had some good food.
00:02:50.786 --> 00:02:51.925
Yeah, there was caramel apples.
00:02:51.925 --> 00:02:55.545
Yeah, candy corn, all that good stuff, but I still missed a really good game.
00:02:55.545 --> 00:02:56.925
Hey, I saw the first half.
00:02:56.925 --> 00:02:58.443
I missed the end though.
00:02:58.443 --> 00:03:02.306
Hey, you know, highlights aren't bad, I did have a good time.
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.849
But you know, it's just like it always competes with football season.
00:03:05.849 --> 00:03:09.189
Like, why can't we go to the pumpkin patch in the spring when nothing's going on?
00:03:09.189 --> 00:03:12.950
Like I don't care if I miss a baseball game, but, come on, it's football season.
00:03:12.950 --> 00:03:14.681
You know what I'm talking about these people.
00:03:14.681 --> 00:03:15.443
They're out to get us.
00:03:15.443 --> 00:03:15.906
This is attack.
00:03:15.906 --> 00:03:18.867
This is attack on modern males.
00:03:18.867 --> 00:03:20.985
You know this is like the alpha males.
00:03:20.985 --> 00:03:21.930
This is attack on us.
00:03:22.401 --> 00:03:28.591
I truly believe that and, honestly, if you ever pondered the origins of the pumpkin decoration trend, it makes zero sense.
00:03:28.591 --> 00:03:30.025
It's a modern day phenomenotomy.
00:03:30.025 --> 00:03:35.063
Strangely enough, the less appealing and size challenge to pumpkin, the more women are attracted to it.
00:03:35.063 --> 00:03:42.403
Despite my love for pumpkin pies and jack-o'-lanterns, the rationale behind the whole pumpkin decoration remains unattainable.
00:03:42.403 --> 00:03:45.603
For my simple mind as a guy, it makes no sense.
00:03:45.603 --> 00:03:55.489
So here I am, in a pumpkin patch out of self-service rows of pumpkins, with my family this past weekend, and the purpose of this tradition began to dawn on me.
00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:07.152
It was about choosing a pumpkin that looked great but inevitably wouldn't rot quickly, much like the creature ejectatory, messing up on words of James Conner his whole career.
00:04:07.152 --> 00:04:10.866
You know he looks real good, starts out real good, tells some of the guys on your IR bench.
00:04:10.866 --> 00:04:12.032
You know, just bench fodder.
00:04:12.032 --> 00:04:13.840
And you're wondering what am I doing with this guy?
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:14.944
You know he does this every year.
00:04:14.944 --> 00:04:18.487
Hopefully you traded James Conner while you could still get something for him, because he's hurting.
00:04:18.487 --> 00:04:19.689
I don't know how long he's out.
00:04:19.689 --> 00:04:22.064
I'm not a doctor, I just see stuff online.
00:04:22.064 --> 00:04:27.451
But anyways, yeah, it's pumpkin patches, fancy football the two go hand in hand.
00:04:27.451 --> 00:04:29.607
You got to find those gems that are going to last.
00:04:29.607 --> 00:04:35.185
Maybe you find this great looking pumpkin, but it's about to rot, just like James Connor.
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:42.824
It's also about identifying the pumpkin that offered the best value, similar to David Montgomery's underappreciated talents this draft season.
00:04:42.824 --> 00:04:44.122
The guy's going off.
00:04:44.122 --> 00:04:45.548
Everyone was talking about Jameer Gibbs.
00:04:45.548 --> 00:04:47.084
We got David Montgomery.
00:04:47.084 --> 00:04:50.103
You know, old faithful Jordan made fun of me, me saying he was the best value.
00:04:50.103 --> 00:04:54.406
In the 10th round Jordan put him on his fantasy team Jordan's you know four and one.
00:04:54.406 --> 00:04:56.045
Jordan gives me zero credit.
00:04:56.045 --> 00:04:58.007
David Montgomery, that's value right there.
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.384
You gotta find that pumpkin that can just last on your doorstep or on your table, anyone else's wife's.
00:05:02.384 --> 00:05:04.725
Put those little tiny, squatty pumpkins on the table.
00:05:04.725 --> 00:05:05.322
You know it's all like.
00:05:05.322 --> 00:05:07.201
You know, oh no, it's cute, it's like.
00:05:07.201 --> 00:05:10.307
Well, you think I'd be cute if I was squatty, and never mind.
00:05:10.307 --> 00:05:18.225
You know this is getting too close to home, but anyways, the lesson from the pumpkin patch experience is in a universal under me.
00:05:18.225 --> 00:05:28.526
Sometimes we must just embrace the task we don't particularly enjoy, whether it's attending a pumpkin patch during the Red River rivalry or including Sam Hall in your Thursday night football lineup.
00:05:28.526 --> 00:05:31.148
The right decision isn't always the most gratifying.
00:05:31.148 --> 00:05:33.827
You know people came after me about Terry McLaurin's start.
00:05:33.827 --> 00:05:39.790
I did say Sam Hall was my stream of the week last week and he went off and he should have thrown the ball to Terry McLaurin.
00:05:39.790 --> 00:05:40.463
It was terrible.
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:49.966
But if you're reading, if you're listening to this with a sense of frustration, perhaps realizing you've been avoiding your own pumpkin patch adventure, prepare yourself for that family outing now.
00:05:49.966 --> 00:05:53.545
You know, maybe your wife let you bring some headphones and you listen to this on the drive.
00:05:53.545 --> 00:05:54.086
You know what I mean.
00:05:54.086 --> 00:05:54.982
Does anyone else's wife?
00:05:54.982 --> 00:06:02.041
You know my wife doesn't let me do it, but maybe your wife lets you know, put in AirPods while the kids are in the back complaining having a good time on the way to pumpkin patch, who knows?
00:06:02.041 --> 00:06:08.329
But you know, don't get frustrated, just get it over with and get some good food.
00:06:08.329 --> 00:06:14.625
This might help you understand the strategic decisions in fantasy football, where we look beyond appearances and discover hidden potential.
00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:22.047
In conclusion, as we welcome the delightful autumn season, let's wholeheartedly embrace its quirks and even those dudes that like wearing Uggs.
00:06:22.047 --> 00:06:23.446
Like, what's up with those guys?
00:06:23.446 --> 00:06:26.887
Man, you're wearing Uggs, I wear Crocs, I'm wearing Crocs right now.
00:06:26.887 --> 00:06:27.824
I really record this pod.
00:06:27.824 --> 00:06:29.021
Crocs are for.
00:06:29.021 --> 00:06:34.341
You know that's for just you know that's like.
00:06:34.341 --> 00:06:37.524
You know middle class, that's what Crocs are.
00:06:37.524 --> 00:06:38.348
I got fuzzy Crocs.
00:06:38.348 --> 00:06:39.403
They're way better than Crocs.
00:06:39.939 --> 00:06:45.646
So sorry, with the rant, I know you're all here for waivers, so let's get it going here.
00:06:45.646 --> 00:06:58.822
Right now we have our week six waivers and if you haven't checked it out, don't miss our whole week five recap where I just, you know, cry about the Dallas Cowboys, all that good fantasy football stuff Wherever you listen to podcasts, remember, don't be rude.
00:06:58.822 --> 00:07:01.466
Share the dudes really helps us out, guys.
00:07:01.466 --> 00:07:04.949
Now let's get into our week.
00:07:04.949 --> 00:07:12.708
Oh yeah, we're at week six waivers, so let's explore this waiver pumpkin patch Looking for the top waiver wire additions for week six.
00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:18.348
Here are my favorite waiver wire options with roster percentages below 68%.
00:07:18.348 --> 00:07:23.567
On sleeper, if you want the ultimate fantasy football experience, consider switching your league to sleeper today.
00:07:23.567 --> 00:07:29.005
They also have some exciting picks Fuse promo code dudes 100, they'll match up to $100.
00:07:29.005 --> 00:07:34.586
Rankings are half point PPR with the help of PFF, and they were done before Monday night.
00:07:34.586 --> 00:07:36.973
Football concluded All right.
00:07:38.295 --> 00:07:40.322
First on the list I got Matthew Stafford.
00:07:40.322 --> 00:07:45.165
54% roster is set to benefit from Cooper Cup's return.
00:07:45.165 --> 00:07:48.641
Remember how good Cup and Stafford were after they started having breakfast together every morning.
00:07:48.641 --> 00:07:49.918
Now they have a podcast.
00:07:49.918 --> 00:07:51.223
It's called Nine to Dime.
00:07:51.223 --> 00:07:54.218
Listen to it sometime, maybe if you're bored, after you're done listening to us.
00:07:54.218 --> 00:08:01.041
Of course, stafford's my stream of the week should maintain his consistency throughout the year if he can stay injury-free.
00:08:01.041 --> 00:08:02.279
Matthew Stafford pick him up.
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.985
Next on my list I have Sam Howell, 36% rostered.
00:08:05.985 --> 00:08:10.901
Maybe not the prettiest choice, but he's currently QB14 on the season and faces Atlanta this week.
00:08:10.901 --> 00:08:14.605
Imagine the potential if he can get Terry McLaurin involved.
00:08:14.605 --> 00:08:18.064
Third on the list I have Gardner Minchu, 4% rostered.
00:08:18.064 --> 00:08:21.622
Steps into the starting role to replace the injured Anthony Richardson.
00:08:21.622 --> 00:08:25.024
Gardner's had a touchdown in each of his starting appearances.
00:08:25.024 --> 00:08:29.757
So, going back over that list, I have Matt Stafford my stream of the week.
00:08:29.757 --> 00:08:36.562
Sam Howell, currently QB14 on the season, and Gardner Minchu, who has a touchdown in each of his starting appearances.
00:08:36.995 --> 00:08:39.624
And let this be a reminder check the waiver wire.
00:08:39.624 --> 00:08:40.639
Who got dropped.
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.100
Sometimes good guys get dropped.
00:08:42.100 --> 00:08:46.620
Maybe somebody rage dropped Jordan Love because the Packers lost tonight and he threw three interceptions.
00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:50.961
Not sure who the Packers are playing at the moment, but always check who gets dropped.
00:08:50.961 --> 00:08:53.503
In your league People rage drop all kinds of stuff like that.
00:08:53.503 --> 00:08:59.865
Maybe Jackson Smith and Dejigba got dropped because he was on a buy, just giving a rookie example, right there, guys.
00:08:59.865 --> 00:09:05.543
So always check the waiver wire, see who has dropped, see who's on there.
00:09:05.543 --> 00:09:07.316
All that good stuff, all right.
00:09:07.416 --> 00:09:14.099
Next we are heading over to our running backs and, honestly, the leaves are falling, the leaves are changing color.
00:09:14.099 --> 00:09:16.881

They're soft.
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.565
They don't ride.
00:09:36.565 --> 00:09:39.321
They aren't like Broncos country, they don't ride.
00:09:39.321 --> 00:09:40.203
What can I say?

Share the dudes.
00:10:07.942 --> 00:10:11.644
Imari Di Mercato probably butchering this guy's name.
00:10:12.054 --> 00:10:13.581
Backup running back for James Conner.
00:10:13.581 --> 00:10:15.721
Remember the pumpkin that you know rotted inside?
00:10:15.721 --> 00:10:23.118
That's kind of harsh, honestly, 2% rostered had an impressive performance with 10 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown against.
00:10:23.118 --> 00:10:27.058
The Bengals Could see more action, depending on the severity of Conner's knee injury.
00:10:27.058 --> 00:10:29.341
Maybe something's happened since Monday Night Football.
00:10:29.341 --> 00:10:32.323
I, as of right now we do not know.
00:10:32.323 --> 00:10:34.861
Imari Di Mercato should be rostered.
00:10:34.861 --> 00:10:35.663

I hate that he leaves it in my house.
00:12:36.135 --> 00:12:37.514
I think it's kind of a jerk move.
00:12:37.514 --> 00:12:40.397
If you ask me, like, just rub it in my face that you won the league.
00:12:40.397 --> 00:12:43.015

Wwwtrophysmackcom forward slash dudes.
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.336
All right, wide receivers.
00:12:58.789 --> 00:13:02.541
First on the list I have Curtis Samuel, 27%, rostered.
00:13:02.541 --> 00:13:08.558
Might be taking over as the team's number two pass catcher, boasting back to back performances of 14 plus points.
00:13:08.558 --> 00:13:11.578
Currently wide receiver 32 on this season.
00:13:11.578 --> 00:13:16.520
Next, jordan's boy, Rashid Rice, 48%, rostered.
00:13:16.520 --> 00:13:19.499
Caught four of five targets for 33 yards in a touchdown.
00:13:19.499 --> 00:13:24.450
Could be the most reliable receiver for Mahomes right now Is it.
00:13:24.450 --> 00:13:32.538
Could this be like not a Tyree Kill replacement, but a good pass catcher that's not a tight end not named Travis Kelsey for the Chiefs.
00:13:32.538 --> 00:13:36.659
Rashid Rice is a favorite matchup this week against Denver.
00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:39.258
Could see a bigger role if Kelsey does not suit up.
00:13:39.258 --> 00:13:43.460
Next on the list I have KJ Osborne, 16% rostered.
00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:44.633
Nine targets.
00:13:44.633 --> 00:13:45.677
He caught five of them.
00:13:45.677 --> 00:13:54.619
Worth considering this week against Chicago if Jefferson is sidelined with a hamstring injury Again, monitor the situation.
00:13:54.619 --> 00:14:02.220
So, going back over all those wide receivers, I had Curtis Samuel back to back performances of 14 points.
00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:03.254
Might be the team's number two.
00:14:03.254 --> 00:14:05.354
Rashid Rice, maybe a bigger role.
00:14:05.354 --> 00:14:12.096
Kj Osborne worth considering with the hamstring injury to Justin Jefferson.
00:14:12.629 --> 00:14:16.059
All right, tight ends, my favorite right here, here we go.
00:14:16.059 --> 00:14:27.638
I have Cole Comet, 68% rostered, caught all five of his targets for a touchdown and now has back to back games with TDs, ranking tight end number three on the season.
