Informed, outspoken, wild, fearless. This is the Fantasy Football Dudes podcast.

Speaker 2:

What is up, my dudes? This is Trent with the Fantasy Football Dudes podcast, I am joined by myself. This is my solo waiver wire show that I look forward to bringing to you every single week. This is our week six transactions and I have 12 waiver ads. If you want all the waiver ads I go more in depth on the email Go to wwwthefantasyfootballdudescom. Sign up for that email. There will be a link in the show notes. We are available for every list in the podcast If you don't have time for the YouTube videos. 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. I'll get to those as fast as I can. So week six, week five is in the books. We are jumping into week six, starting this off like I always do. This is kind of like a pumpkin patch transactions. 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. Falls' positivity certainly outweigh its minor inconveniences. It presents unique challenges, though, as me, as a husband and as a father, sometimes the annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Guys, you know what I'm talking about. It's no good. It's one Saturday a year or Sunday a year. 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. Usually they come up northern my area, the Midwest, northern American, northern West Coast kind of where they bring these pumpkins in. They aren't local For all I know. They're buying them in a grocery store and they're charging you double. But you know what they get you there and they have admission, these pumpkin patches, they've got to go. As a farmer, I hear about you guys on the East Coast and the South going apple picking. What is that? I farm tree fruit. I should start charging people to pick my fruit. It is amazing that people do this kind of stuff. But the pumpkin patches fall, they happen to happen in the fall. It's terrible. All you guys out there you're hitting your pound, your chest, going like this. Guy understands, I understand, and you single guys who don't understand, just cherish these moments, just enjoy those flannels by yourself. 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. This will all make sense. And maybe you're just thinking like, hey, man, chill out a little bit, here's the deal. Though You're like, hey, big deal, it's two hours, yeah, big deal. I'm a Sooners fan, had to miss the Red River rivalry to go to the pumpkin patch. Yeah, I had fun. Yeah, I had some good food. Yeah, there was caramel apples. Yeah, candy corn, all that good stuff, but I still missed a really good game. Hey, I saw the first half. I missed the end though. Hey, you know, highlights aren't bad, I did have a good time. But you know, it's just like it always competes with football season. Like, why can't we go to the pumpkin patch in the spring when nothing's going on? Like I don't care if I miss a baseball game, but, come on, it's football season. You know what I'm talking about these people. They're out to get us. This is attack. This is attack on modern males. You know this is like the alpha males. This is attack on us. I truly believe that and, honestly, if you ever pondered the origins of the pumpkin decoration trend, it makes zero sense. It's a modern day phenomenotomy. Strangely enough, the less appealing and size challenge to pumpkin, the more women are attracted to it. Despite my love for pumpkin pies and jack-o'-lanterns, the rationale behind the whole pumpkin decoration remains unattainable. For my simple mind as a guy, it makes no sense. 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. 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. You know he looks real good, starts out real good, tells some of the guys on your IR bench. You know, just bench fodder. And you're wondering what am I doing with this guy? You know he does this every year. Hopefully you traded James Conner while you could still get something for him, because he's hurting. I don't know how long he's out. I'm not a doctor, I just see stuff online. But anyways, yeah, it's pumpkin patches, fancy football the two go hand in hand. You got to find those gems that are going to last. Maybe you find this great looking pumpkin, but it's about to rot, just like James Connor. It's also about identifying the pumpkin that offered the best value, similar to David Montgomery's underappreciated talents this draft season. The guy's going off. Everyone was talking about Jameer Gibbs. We got David Montgomery. You know, old faithful Jordan made fun of me, me saying he was the best value. In the 10th round Jordan put him on his fantasy team Jordan's you know four and one. Jordan gives me zero credit. David Montgomery, that's value right there. You gotta find that pumpkin that can just last on your doorstep or on your table, anyone else's wife's. Put those little tiny, squatty pumpkins on the table. You know it's all like. You know, oh no, it's cute, it's like. Well, you think I'd be cute if I was squatty, and never mind. You know this is getting too close to home, but anyways, the lesson from the pumpkin patch experience is in a universal under me. 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. The right decision isn't always the most gratifying. You know people came after me about Terry McLaurin's start. 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. It was terrible. 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. You know, maybe your wife let you bring some headphones and you listen to this on the drive. You know what I mean. Does anyone else's wife? 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? But you know, don't get frustrated, just get it over with and get some good food. This might help you understand the strategic decisions in fantasy football, where we look beyond appearances and discover hidden potential. In conclusion, as we welcome the delightful autumn season, let's wholeheartedly embrace its quirks and even those dudes that like wearing Uggs. Like, what's up with those guys? Man, you're wearing Uggs, I wear Crocs, I'm wearing Crocs right now. I really record this pod. Crocs are for. You know that's for just you know that's like. You know middle class, that's what Crocs are. I got fuzzy Crocs. They're way better than Crocs. So sorry, with the rant, I know you're all here for waivers, so let's get it going here. 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. Share the dudes really helps us out, guys. Now let's get into our week. 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. Here are my favorite waiver wire options with roster percentages below 68%. On sleeper, if you want the ultimate fantasy football experience, consider switching your league to sleeper today. They also have some exciting picks Fuse promo code dudes 100, they'll match up to $100. Rankings are half point PPR with the help of PFF, and they were done before Monday night. Football concluded All right. First on the list I got Matthew Stafford. 54% roster is set to benefit from Cooper Cup's return. Remember how good Cup and Stafford were after they started having breakfast together every morning. Now they have a podcast. It's called Nine to Dime. Listen to it sometime, maybe if you're bored, after you're done listening to us. Of course, stafford's my stream of the week should maintain his consistency throughout the year if he can stay injury-free. Matthew Stafford pick him up. Next on my list I have Sam Howell, 36% rostered. Maybe not the prettiest choice, but he's currently QB14 on the season and faces Atlanta this week. Imagine the potential if he can get Terry McLaurin involved. Third on the list I have Gardner Minchu, 4% rostered. Steps into the starting role to replace the injured Anthony Richardson. Gardner's had a touchdown in each of his starting appearances. So, going back over that list, I have Matt Stafford my stream of the week. Sam Howell, currently QB14 on the season, and Gardner Minchu, who has a touchdown in each of his starting appearances. And let this be a reminder check the waiver wire. Who got dropped. Sometimes good guys get dropped. Maybe somebody rage dropped Jordan Love because the Packers lost tonight and he threw three interceptions. Not sure who the Packers are playing at the moment, but always check who gets dropped. In your league People rage drop all kinds of stuff like that. Maybe Jackson Smith and Dejigba got dropped because he was on a buy, just giving a rookie example, right there, guys. So always check the waiver wire, see who has dropped, see who's on there. All that good stuff, all right. Next we are heading over to our running backs and, honestly, the leaves are falling, the leaves are changing color. You can smell that pumpkin spice latte. Why not Head over to Manscape, guys, where you can get 20% off your whole entire order. Promo code dudes20, lawnmower4.0,. It's got a flashlight. All that good stuff. Head over to Manscape.

All right running backs, good running back list. Like I said, not all the running backs I'm gonna be giving on this pod, you're gonna have to go sign up for the email. For those of you who are not good at reading, like myself, I am sorry, but hey, I can't give you guys everything. Come on, don't be rude. Share the dudes. Imari Di Mercato probably butchering this guy's name. Backup running back for James Conner. Remember the pumpkin that you know rotted inside? That's kind of harsh, honestly, 2% rostered had an impressive performance with 10 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown against. The Bengals Could see more action, depending on the severity of Conner's knee injury. Maybe something's happened since Monday Night Football. I, as of right now we do not know. Imari Di Mercato should be rostered. Pick him up. Next on the list, roshan Johnson, 51% rostered. Despite a concussion during Thursday Night Football, had a little extra time to heal, get out of the concussion protocol. Has a chance to return this week versus Minnesota. This is a good matchup for Roshan Johnson, 51% rostered on Sleeper guys, go check the waiver wire for your boy, roshan. Next on the list I have Jaleel McLaughlin, 54% rostered. Showed explosiveness with nine carries for 68 yards and a receiving touchdown. However, he faces a tough matchup this week. First, the Chiefs Think this might be a Samajae Piran game. Piran did lead the Broncos in receiving yards. As a running back Monitor the situation. I got some more guys on this list, but you're gonna have to sign up at wwwthefantasyfootballdudescom to get this delivered right to your email at midnight. Just like pumpkins that pumpkin on Cinderella Midnight boom, turn into a pumpkin. I don't know where I'm going with this. Sorry. I really want some candy corn. I'm craving it. It's a little treat we got in our house. I wish I was eating candy corn while I was doing the pod, but I don't think anyone wants to hear me smacking. All right, and I got stashes on that email. So check that out and let me just give you just throw it up here. Everybody I got I just recap Running backs E-Mario D-Marcato, is that right man? Roshan Johnson, jalil McLaughlin Jalil McLaughlin that just sounds like a running back to me. Guys, all right, wide receivers are next. Here we go, we're gonna throw it over to these guys. And before I throw it over to these guys, remember trophy smack Best place to eat your fancy football trophies, all kinds of trophies. Actually, it's great. Go to trophysmackcom forward. Slash dudes 15% off your home tire order. You're checking this out on YouTube. I'm holding this belt up WWE belt on my shoulder. Look at all that bling right there. Dino dudes Got some brass knuckles Undisputed champion right there. This is for our Dinosaur League. This is Seth's belt. I hate that he leaves it in my house. I think it's kind of a jerk move. If you ask me, like, just rub it in my face that you won the league. You know pay at your house, but hey, looks good on YouTube. So what can I say? Wide receivers thrown over here. Let me get this big WWE belt. You know probably WWE guys out there. They got last place trophies too. Wwwtrophysmackcom forward slash dudes. All right, wide receivers. First on the list I have Curtis Samuel, 27%, rostered. Might be taking over as the team's number two pass catcher, boasting back to back performances of 14 plus points. Currently wide receiver 32 on this season. Next, jordan's boy, Rashid Rice, 48%, rostered. Caught four of five targets for 33 yards in a touchdown. Could be the most reliable receiver for Mahomes right now Is it. 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. Rashid Rice is a favorite matchup this week against Denver. Could see a bigger role if Kelsey does not suit up. Next on the list I have KJ Osborne, 16% rostered. Nine targets. He caught five of them. Worth considering this week against Chicago if Jefferson is sidelined with a hamstring injury Again, monitor the situation. So, going back over all those wide receivers, I had Curtis Samuel back to back performances of 14 points. Might be the team's number two. Rashid Rice, maybe a bigger role. Kj Osborne worth considering with the hamstring injury to Justin Jefferson. All right, tight ends, my favorite right here, here we go. 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. And he's only 68% rostered on sleeper. And again, all these rankings are done half point PPR by PFF. Number two. I have Dalton Schultz, 44% rostered, Led the Texans in catches against Atlanta and has a back to back games with TD receptions sitting his tight end of 11 on the season. Last I got Travis all right with Travis Kelsey nursing and ankle injury. In a short week ahead for the Chiefs Thursday night football, noah Gray, 5% rostered, could be in the spotlight if Kelsey doesn't play. Mahomes loves tight ends. Noah Gray hey, it's a short week. Kelsey's ankle's messed up. He didn't just shake it off, he shook it off. But he's a you know, short week, no fun with a rolled, bummed ankle. I think Noah Gray might play. If Kelsey says he's playing, you gotta play, kelsey. I got two more tight ends on this list that you're gonna have to check out on the email, though, guys.
