Informed, outspoken, wild, fearless, hardly ever politically correct. 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. I guess I'm doing another waiver episode here Got a lot of good feedback on last week's show so I thought I'd keep going into it, guys, and I thought I'd start putting these on YouTube as well. So if you want to get the full experience, go head over to YouTube at TFFdudes. I'm going to give us a like and a subscribe Really helps us out putting all the features on the board. But if you want all of these waiver ads, go sign up for our dudes letter at wwwthefantasyfootballdudescom. Remember, don't be rude, share the dudes. The biggest thing you could do to help this pod out is to help share it with a friend. So before we get into all of our week, three waiver ads, guys. I thought that I would. You know, I was watching Sunday Night Football the other night, okay, and I just wanted to take a moment to discuss touchdown celebrations. Okay, I saw something unique and the first touchdown celebration actually was performed by Elmo Wright. Simple, spike, spike the football. It's the first thing we got. Then it went to. You know, billy White Shoes Johnson. He used to do the chicken dance Then from there it went to the icky shuffle. Touchdown celebrations have kind of become a big part of the game, from Terrell Owens pulling the pin out of his sock on Monday Night Football to sign the football and hand it to the fan, chad Johnson, you know, he put that little towel on the ball, made it a diaper, you know, acted like he was changing a diaper. The football was the baby, real cute. Okay, so touchdown celebrations have come a long way, but talking about Chad Johnson made me start thinking of diapers. Okay, you know, when I said the whole diaper thing and speaking of diapers, this is not a landscape promo, although dude's 20, 20% off your whole entire order really helps us out. Guys, go over to head over to Manscape. They do not have diapers. I'm sorry, hope, I didn't get your hopes up, but I saw something on Sunday Night Football that kind of reminded me of being a father, and usually in these waiver, these waiver articles I've been doing, I usually talk about things that husbands go through or fathers. So this is more of a father thing as a young father. So Sunday Night Football reminded me of being a young father. I saw Bill Belichick being unhappy with the ball placement and I'm going to pull this video up on YouTube here. You can go check it out. But you have Bill Belichick here. He's kind of watching. He starts pulling up his pant leg and pulls out this out of his sock. He pulls the flag out of his sock like it's a sheath holding a dagger Strangest thing looks at the ref okay, the ref finally gets the chain set and then he spikes it down okay, just throws it down with attitude, I don't know, like defiance. It looked like defiance. And that's where I'm going to go to as being a father okay, and I'm going to roll that again. You know you can watch that on YouTube at TFFdudes. Really helps us out, guys, go check that out. But as a father, you you know he slowly pulls up that plant leg, retrieves the flag from his sock, just like a dagger from a sheath, okay, and he waits patiently. And this kind of reminds me of being a father with young children. You know you can tell your kids like, hey, you need to eat all your food. Well, when you have a kid that's under the age of one, under the age of two, maybe all the way up to three, they sometimes just don't like eating their food. And as I'm here picking up the food off the ground from my, you know, one year old. You know she's a good eater, you know what. Maybe it runs in the family, I don't know. You tell me. But she looks at me and I'm just thinking don't do it, don't do it. She throws more food on the ground. You know, it's a little game for kids. They like throwing their food on the ground. It's horrible. And when I saw Belichick throw that flag, he looked like a defiant little child throwing the flag down on the ground. He knew he wanted to challenge the spot of the ball and it was a bad spot in his defense, but he could have done it sooner and he just looked a little childish. And what I'm thinking with touchdown celebrations maybe coaches get to the point where it's like, hey, let's, this is kind of my time for glory. Maybe I can throw the flag like you know how Thorell Owens used to do touchstone celebrations. Maybe it's a whole another thing. Maybe you do the you know the little flavor town thing, the Rick Fieri deal or the what's his name? Emerald the bam, you know, throw the flag down. So maybe this is something new. Maybe Belichick starts doing this more. So I don't know. As a father, I've learned you don't care about what others think as long as your child isn't crying in the restaurant, causing food related problems. All of a sudden, you find yourself doing the crazy choo-choo train or the airplane. You look like a psycho in the restaurant. But those are the things you do as a parent to make sure your kids are well behaved. Okay, just like, and people might make fun of you. But you know, maybe they aren't a parent, maybe they don't have kids, they don't understand being a father. Just like. People might have made fun of you when you spent all your fab last week on players like Puka. But you have to stick with what works, guys, not concern yourself with the naysayers. Who knows, hopefully you spend all that fab on Puka and people might have made fun of you for a little bit. I even said don't start on birth of 49ers. The guy is breaking all kinds of records, oh guys. So with that being said, enough with touchdown celebrations, father moves. Let's move on to our waiver options. Below I have all roster percentages below 68% on Sleeper and if you're looking for the full, ultimate, fancy football experience, consider switching leagues to Sleeper today. They also have some exciting picks. You know you can do promo code dudes 100. They'll match up to $100. And here's the deal with Sleeper guys. They had a really nice promo for Nick Chubb tonight. 78 and a half rushing yards actually, it'd be exact. He gets hurt. They refund everybody their money. That is a company with integrity that we are proud to stand behind. Go over to Sleeper, tell him the dude, since you have promo code dudes 100. Nick Chubb hopefully not his whole career. It looks like it could be his whole career. I believe it's the same knee he's injured before. Did not look good, guys. I got some waiver wires in here. I think you wanna pick up Jerome Ford, though. He's looking really good on Monday Night Football right now as we speak, he just broke a 60 plus yard touchdown. Run Barry Electric. He's 17% owned. He's the next man up in Cleveland. They like running the football guys. Go add Jerome Ford. You might wanna throw a large part of your fab at it as well. But before we get into running backs, guys, I want to get into quarterbacks. Okay, so remember to rate, review, give a subscribe thumbs up and yeah. So quarterbacks here. Guys, quarterbacks were a little crazy this week. We'll dive right in. We'll throw it over to him. Russell Wilson, 49% owned. Let Russ cook had a huge, fancy football Finish in week two. His late game heroics were almost enough to beat the commanders and late game heroics they honestly should have. They were up big. They blew this game. He almost made it a game of their two-point conversion, away from going into overtime. He is quarterback five on the season and he's gonna have to put up points this week against the Dolphins. Maybe you want to stream Russ. I doubt it, there's no bi weeks yet, but he's playing. He had a really good game this week. I know he's QB five. All of these Rankings on the season are according to PFF half-point rankings, so that's where I'm getting all my rankings, just so you all are aware of that. But Russell Wilson 49% owned. Go add him if you need some quarterback help. Number two Jordan Love, 60% ownership. Qb two on the season. Has thrown three TDs and back-to-back games, despite a late game loss with Lana. It's only gonna get better, though, when Christian Watson gets healthier, and it would sure be nice if Jordan love could start to get some more air yards. He's throwing touchdowns. We just need those yards for the extra points. So so plays the Saints in week three. At Third on the list I have CJ Stroud 24% owned. Qb 14 on the season. Had some success versus the Colts. He's got to have. He's gonna play against Trevor Lawrence, who did not have a good game last week. Stroud starting to get in rhythm with Nico Collins and Tank Dell. This might be more of like a stream matchup type quarterback ad where you Just play him on matchups, kind of like Baker Mayfield. I don't like Baker Mayfield. This week he is playing really good. He's being very efficient on third down. He's not turning the ball over, he's not taking sacks. We don't need to talk about Baker Mayfield anymore. These are just two streaming options CJ Stroud, baker Mayfield and fourth on my list, I have Sam how 22% owners owned. He had a thrilling comeback versus the Broncos this week. Qb 10 on the season. Eric Benamy seems to be putting Howl in excellent positions to succeed. Big test this week coming against Buffalo guys. So I got the whole list here on the screen.

Next we have our running back waiver ads and a good running back week guys. Like there's been some injuries. Like I said, drone Ford, 17% rostered right now. Next man up in Cleveland, he's gonna have the volume. I like drone Ford. If you're a Nick Chubb owner, hopefully you already had drone Ford on your bench, but it's early in the season, maybe you don't have a handcuff yet. So drone Ford number one waiver Probably waiver ad for the week. Number two Kyren Williams, 64% owned, should be the Rams leading back from this point forward. Cam acres, healthy scratch. There is trade rumors he is going to be out there. He, kyren Williams, is running back to on the season and only 64% rostered. Pick my dude up. He was my number one waiver out of the week. Maybe it's drone Ford. I still kind of lean towards Kyren Williams. He's at 64% roster ship though, so maybe I might lead Kyren right now. Both of these guys are like one a, one B Kyren and drone Ford, so go pick up both of them if you can. Running back is bleak right now but running back to on the season, behind Christian McCaffrey Running back three. On my list I've Matt Breed a 3% owned death Taxes, and Matt Breed a being talked about in waivers. The three guarantees in life. Sake one hurt his ankles, supposed to be out three weeks. The G men are traveling to the west coast to take on the 49ers this week. Kyron Williams just had a good game, not saying Matt Breeda will Seems like Matt Breeda's in these waiver articles every single year. Running back number four. Zack Moss, 56% owned. He got 98% of the teams carries in week two and he's the Colts Was the only Colts running back to play an offensive snap. This week We'll see what happens with. Anthony Richardson had two rushing touchdowns. I know he's in concussion protocol right now. Zack Moss is a guy that will get reps and will be on the field. And then I have Jaylin Warren, 47% rostered. He is had a pretty good game when I played football. I haven't checked the current score of the game at the moment. I believe he had nine points. Last I checked Seems like Najee Harris is a big letdown so far. So Jaylin Warren not saying to play him and my whole, so I'd say more of my holds are Jaylin Warren, tajé Spears, roshan Johnson and Craig Reynolds. Craig Reynolds is the backup to Jameer Gibbs, so go check that out. I know that gamble likes having multiple running backs in there. I don't know if he's good. I believe he's going to just unleash Gibbs. That's what I hope, but he's kind of a committee guy. Gibbs had the most targets on the team last week, so go ahead and check that out. Running through my running backs real quick, I had Jerome Ford at number one, kyren Williams at number two, matt Breed at number three, zach Moss at four, jaylin Warren at five and my holds were Tajé, tajé Spears, roshan Johnson and Craig Reynolds. All right, let's throw it over to the wide receivers. Guys. Wide receiver one I had Josh. I have Josh Reynolds, 21% owned back to back, double digit performance. Wide receiver 10 on the season. Guys, josh Reynolds needs to be rostered. He's making a big case for a Jameson Williams. I know Jameson Williams comes back week six. Maybe this is only a rental, who knows, but I like Josh Reynolds. Right now he's playing hot Go with the hot hand you can probably plug this guy in your lineup. He's finding the end zone. Number two on my list I just when I read this one I feel really bad for this guy. Okay, because I just know how I was in junior high. I know how junior high boys were. This name is something that on the playground you get made fun of a lot. Glad he made the NFL, glad it seems like he's doing good 2-2 at well. He is 32%, rostered Back to back, double digit performance. Wide receiver, 18 on the season. He could just be a rental until Cup is back. Puka's putting up huge numbers but don't sleep on 2-2. Okay, so give 2-2 a shot. He's he's very, he's playable. You can play 2-2. Stafford looks good. He's healthy. As long as Stafford's healthy and cups out, I think you can play 2-2 at well. Number three I have Nico Collins and Tankdale, kind of both together. Both had nine targets last week. Slight bump than Nico, but it's a good opportunity for both past catchers this week for the Jaguars If Stroud can keep the ball rolling. Number four Mack Hollins 3% rostered. Ritter through all the Yolo balls to Hollins for whatever reason. I need to see more, but he's leading his team as receiving yards, so take that with a grain of salt. This is the Falcons and they're a very strange team. But Mack Hollins, you know he's a good uh, hoping to prayer, I will say, and we now have a new t-shirt coming out, so stay tuned. Okay, and it's going to be really good. It's Falcons related. You know I'm a Falcons guy. I'll let's just release it right now. Feed Kyle Pitts. It's right there on the screen. Check it out. We got to do it. Feed cow pits guys. Join the army. Let's get these things sell. Buy the free cow pit shirts. The guy needs to be fed. He's too talented to not be getting the ball. Number five on my list. I have just some holds here. I have hold Marvin Mims. He had two catches for 113 yards in TD, also contributed a little bit in the rushing game. Pick them up if you have some room, guys, okay. So, going back on all my wide receivers, I have Josh Reynolds, 2-2 Atwell, nico Collins, mack Hollins and then Marvin Mims as a hold guys. So go ahead and see what you got in your leagues. Every league is different and when it comes to different leagues, maybe your season, your 0-2. Right now you're getting frustrated. What you need to do is go over to underdog. You can do drafts every single week, drafting it to your friends, people you don't know as little as $3. You can win some really big cash. So go check that out. Underdogs Promo code dudes match up to $100 really helps us out guys. So into the waiver show here. Got one more position to go over. We don't do kickers. I might have a kicker bonus. I kind of like the Cowboys kicker. I'm a Cowboys fan. Seems like McCarthy's getting conservative in the red zone. He's fine with taking field goals as of right now. So he's got the defense to win him games Okay. So I think he has no problem just kicking field goals, taking his foot off the pedal a little bit. It's just don't force turnovers over there. Big D on offense, their defense can win them games. Titans, here we go. Hunter Henry is 45% owned Titan 2 on the season. Back to back 14-point finishes and half point PPR TD in each game. It's a tough matchup, maybe versus the Jets, but Dallas just had two Titans score versus them, two different Titans. So I believe this is a must add, unless we have Kelsey Hawkinson or Mark Andrews. So Hunter Henry is a good waiver add If you don't have those three guys that he's tied into on the season. My second tight end I have is Luke Musgrave, 31% rostered. Lead the Packers in routes and targets. Christian Watson will maybe help him a little bit, just to maybe open things up a little bit. He is still the guy there is Musgrave, until Watson's there. So I'm thinking Watson will take some pressure off of him and he'll be open even more. I feel like a Luke Musgrave blow-up game is coming. And then, third on my list, I have Hayden Hearst 34%, rostered. Has a great matchup this week versus Seattle. So if all those guys are taken, hayden Hearst is the guy to go with. But those other two guys need to be rostered and I think you can play them also. Guys, if you enjoyed this article, be sure to. Well, actually, you know I'll throw that list up on there. We got a nice little graphic here. I had Hunter Henry, luke Musgrave and Hayden Hearst, okay. So, guys, if you enjoyed this article, enjoyed this show, remember, don't be rude. Share the dudes really helps us out. Give us a thumbs up, give us a sub. Check out the podcast at wwwTheFancyFootballDudescom. Don't miss our week three preview and starts this Thursday.
