Week 3 + Waivers that smile back, Must adds, and Stashes

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

What is up my dudes? This is Trent with the Fantasy Football Dudes podcast. This is a little solo YOLO, solo podcast I'm doing here today. I have my week three waiver ads just coming off. A nice Monday night football game. I guess you could say it was nice. Joe Burrow kind of got Jamar Chase. I know he definitely got Jamar Chase involved. If you want to check this whole thing out, go over to YouTube at TFFdudes, also available wherever you listen to podcasts. Remember, don't be rude. Share the dudes really helps us out. Give us a thumbs up wherever you are listening. Really helps us out, guys. But Monday night football had a little bit of a. You know we had a little sleeper play. Remember dudes 100, they'll match up to $100. We were a Ketapuca Nakua reception away from a very nice win for your favorite dudes. It did not hit. But other Monday night recap Deandre Swift looks like he's here to stay, even though Gainwell had a lot of carries also, guys. So it's, they are giving both backs carries still, but it's looking like I might have been wrong on what I thought. With the whole Eagles backfield, deandre Swift is being very efficient. Gainwell is still involved though. But Monday night football is over. I know most of you guys aren't here for the waivers. What about that Mike Evans catch? That was unreal. One of the best catches I've seen in a long time. But waivers, week three. Waivers enough about Monday night football. I remember why you guys are all really here. You want to know those waivers. And this whole week, you know we talked about the dolphins. I mean, you know just, I'm going to talk about the dolphins right before I get into waivers. Dolphins deliver to historic performance. They scored impressive 10 touchdowns during the game, even a fun conga line intervention. It was just a good game. It was. It was not just a game, it was an entertaining show, making it hard for everyone not to appreciate. However, there was one minor issue. They could have broke that record if they just chosen to kick the field goal, which I don't know why they didn't. They'd already embarrassed the Broncos. Why not go for three more points? The dolphins continue to showcase their speed, fluidity and agility, resembling the qualities of an aquatic namesake, of their aquatic namesake. Now, these fish, I'm talking about this. I had this story lined up, you know, on Tuesday. So, speaking of fish related incidents, my wife's car needed to go to the shop last week. Okay, so that means I have two car seats in my truck and just hang with me here a little bit. Okay, Two car seats means snacks and I love snacks, you know. Just looking at me you can probably tell. But the problem with snacks is now I got snacks eaten in my car and that means goldfish, the snack that smiles back, and my one-year-old daughter. You know, she is a pretty good eater, believe it or not. She just starts dumping goldfish all over my back seat. So what am I supposed to do? It's just me had to drop mom off to get the rental car. My truck suited the car seats better, so we kept the car seats in there. So I have to clean up all these goldfish. Well, what can I do? I have to improvise. I'm a dad, right, so Did what any other dad would do. I, I pick, gathered all the stray goldfish up and placed them back in her snack cup. Whether the food laid on the floor got Lost in the seat cushions, it didn't bother her. I wasn't about to waste those delicious snacks and she probably she didn't notice. Okay, and I hope my wife doesn't hear about this, because I'm the type of guy that you know. Maybe you find a cheerio, a fruit loop or something in the couch. You know it's probably still good. You know fruit snacks, those are good forever. But this whole experience got me thinking about fantasy football. And Just because someone drops something, drops a player from their roster doesn't necessarily mean that player is worthless. Last week you know, you heard about in our show we witnessed someone drop the Andre Swift in their league on waivers right before Thursday night football and he goes bananas. And now he here is back-to-back a hundred-plus yard games. So another man's trash just means another man's treasure, another man's treasure, okay. So just like the five-second rule with drop snacks, it's essential, guys, to keep your eye on the waiver wire. In the list of recently dropped players in your fantasy football league you might find that hidden gym that can boost your team's performance. So while I'm going through this, talking about waivers maybe these guys aren't on your waivers now Go check the waiver wire and see what your knucklehead brother-in-law, who he dropped. It could have been something really good, just like those goldfish that fell in between my seat, and I'm sure I'll keep finding them for the months to come. Enough talk about the snack that smiles back. Not a sponsor, but pull up, but what is a sponsor is sleeper, like I said in, below are my favorite waiver wire options. All the roster percentages are brought to you by sit the sleeper and they're all below 68% rostered. If you're looking for the ultimate fantasy football experience, it's consider switching your league to sleeper today. They also have some exciting picks, like I said, and if you use the promo code dudes 100, they will match up to $100. All the rankings done in this episode are brought to you by PFF and they were all done before Monday night football. So week for waivers, guys, let's get it started. I got some graphics on YouTube, so go check it out there and that way you can screenshot these, see all the roster percentages, all that good stuff, and then go to your waiver wire in case you don't want to write it down. All the images are right there on YouTube. Go check it out. I made it real easy for you guys. So here we go and Starting off quarterbacks, cj Stroud, 32% rostered, appears to be the best rookie quarterback this season. He's really elevated himself. As QB will end a QB one territory probably high QB to low QB. One Strouds made Houston's offense look efficient, which is something we haven't seen in Houston since to Sean Watson was throwing up balls to DeAndre Hopkins. So go ahead, check out Stroud. He's QB to on the season. So, according to PFF, go check that out guys, cj Stroud. He's playing pretty good football, you know, and this is a guy that's most likely on your waiver wire. Number two Jordan Love. He was on the list last week 67% rostered, just barely making the list by 1%, qb 4 for the season. Has recorded three consecutive 20-point performances and staged impressive 17-point comeback. He is still without Christian Watson, but I love the matchup this week. Burst Detroit, qb 5 on the season. Go check your waiver wire for Christian Watson. And this is a boring pick guys I got. But it's safe, okay, and sometimes you just wanna be safe in fantasy football. Maybe you're projecting a bunch of points. Who am I kidding? No one's going for safety in fantasy football, but it's on here anyways. If you just have a good team and you just wanna do a nice little double digit quarterback play, I don't know, it's pretty good. Brock Purdy 64% rostered. Probably the safest QB play of the week Cardinals against the Cardinals. The Cardinals aren't likely to upset two undefeated teams in a row. Lock Purdy in for 15 points this week. Well, I don't see the huge upside. Like I said, I do expect. I do expect a double digit performance Stream of the week. This is ugly, just plug your nose and eat it. Russell Wilson 52% rostered this is really gross. He has a great matchup this week versus the Bears. He's QB eight on the season, guys. So Russell Wilson and I got the image here on the screen for you. I recapping that I have CJ Straub 32% rostered, qb 10 on the season, jordan Love 67% rostered, qb four on the season. And Brock Purdy, 64% rostered. And if you guys are just not doing good in your fantasy football, go over to underdog. It's the dude's favorite place to play best ball. They also have some other fantasy football fun. You can do drafts with friends every week. Every week has a new weekly draft. It's not even a season long. For as low as $3, win some cash. It's a nice little. Maybe your fantasy season? You're not happy with it? Maybe you want to draft again. I am addicted to fantasy football. My favorite part about fantasy football is the draft. So underdog is a great place for the drafts. So go check out underdog guys. Tell them the dude sent you promo code dudes, they will match up to $100. Going into the running backs guys running back room Devon Ayn chain. We already talked about goldfish. We already talked about the dolphins. Devon A chain is 46% rostered. He delivered one of the craziest dolphins performances since Ronnie Brown's invention of the Wildcat against the Patriots. I believe that was in 2008. We're just one injury away from A chain potentially becoming the bell cow back. While the dolphins excelled against the Broncos, they face a tougher test this week against Buffalo. Regardless, a chain is a must add in all fantasy formats. Okay, rb3 flex play this week, rb4 on the season, with just one big blow up game. I think Devon A chain did too much for them to not have him involved. I don't know what his snap percentages will be from this point forward. Like we talked about on our week three recap, what happens to Salvin Ahmed and Jeff Wilson. Jeff Wilson's been with McDaniels for a long time. I think A chain is too talented, too fast to not see the field. I expect him to start pulling away this week. Well, we will really see a little bit more, though. So go check your waiver wire for Devon A chain. I think it's he said he wants to be called. He wants it to be a little different. I know Adam Schefter tweeted that this today, but I'm just going to say what I've been taught. You know how I read it and maybe if he has another blow up game I'll learn how to read his name correctly. Number two, not as exciting, jalen Warren, 63% rostered, is an unattractive ad but could see more volume with an injury. Currently he's getting some work and got 50, 45, sorry Check there 45% of the snaps on Sunday night, compared to Najae Harris's 50% of the snaps. And this is just a hold and wait and wait if you can. He's getting plays. Maybe you hope the Steelers start getting blown out and they put him into catch passes. He might be more game script, but he's seeing the field where. You seen the field enough that you just want to play him. And then last, I have Rico. I Should be able to say this as a Cowboys fan Rico dodle, dottel, dodle, 4% rostered scored the only TD for Dallas on Sunday but played only 14% of snaps. No need to start him as long as Pollard's healthy. Pollard broke his ankle last year. He got turf toe the year before. Pollard is you know he's a little bit of a Ferrari. You know he got a. You got a. You know, change the oil, all that good stuff, check the tires. So I would stash Rico for now because that's a good team to have a starting running back in it. And my other hold is Kiantre Ingram, backup to James Connor, who is very injury prone his whole entire career. So add Kiante Ingram. And again, my whole entire list on YouTube is I have Devon H Chain, 46% rostered. Must add Jalen Warren, 63% rostered in. Rico dodle, 4% rostered, and I feel like I am Absolutely butchering his name. I am so sorry about that, uncle Rico. Anyways, going gonna throw it over to our wide receivers. Actually, I got a roll the dice play here for running backs, just a nice little fun one. Latavius Murray has TDs and back-to-back games, ultimate Running back Bolcher. He's doing James Cook dirty. He's even taken some you know touchdown rushes from Josh Allen. As a guy who has Josh Allen and James Cook, I really wish that Latavius Murray would just leave the bills alone. So throw it over to the wide receiver. I have Tank Dell, 48% rostered, must add. After two consecutive double digit games, clearly Stroud's favorite target. He had seven targets, five receptions, 145 receiving yards versus the Jaguars. This week they take on Pittsburgh where they likely will have to throw the ball. Tank is wide receiver eight on the season. He looks really good guys. Go add your boy. Tank number two this is a little 2a2b. Josh Palmer, 5% rostered in. Quinton Johnson is 51% rostered, both Considering or considering. Mike Williams is most likely out for season. I don't know, maybe I've heard that that's for sure. It's looking like he's out for season. One of these Chargers pass catchers will see increased volume, while Johnson is the preferred choice, I think, for most fancy football people, palmer is also a viable add. I like Quinton for the higher upside play. Next, this one shocks me. Old faithful Adam Thielen, 58% rostered, rostered, put up huge numbers in week three with Andy Dalton throwing the ball. He faces his former Nate, former team Revenge game, minnesota Vikings, and he has recorded back-to-back double digit performances. At the age of 33, thielen is wide receiver. I'm gonna say he's. He was wide receiver nine on the season at the moment I made this list. I don't know if Jim R Chase has passed up with that big Monday night performance, but Thielen is still getting it done. Wide receiver for I have. Marvin Mims, 27% rostered, deserves more Yolo balls from Russell Wilson. They need to find a way to get this rookie the ball more. He had five targets, three catches, 73 yards and a kick return for a touchdown. So if your league has those kick returns for touchdowns not saying they'll happen again, but it's nice having a playmaker out there, that's, you know, catching kicks I don't know how many, yeah, you know and they're getting scored on a lot. So potentially a lot of kick returns for him should have a bigger role in this offense and has a favorable match matchup this week against the Chicago Bears. And speaking to Chicago Bears, there's tickets as low as $2.11 right now. If you're in the Chicago area and you want to go to a game I don't know those are pretty cheap tickets. Maybe you'd rather just, you know, buy a packet of Hostess and stay home or use that money for sleeper picks or whatever, but $2.11 for a national football league game Sounds like a steal. Maybe I shouldn't talk about steals in Chicago After what happened to their stadium this past week. Sorry, it's too soon. This is the last guy I put to my list for wide receivers, tutu Atwell. He was an addition after the Monday night football game, 65% rostered and Stafford locked into him. You know he hurt your dudes. Tonight Pukka needed one more catch for your dudes to make some really good cash. Don't worry, scared money don't make money. We'll be back. We aren't done yet. He deserves to be on the list with those nine targets he got tonight. So that is all my wide receivers. Recapping the wide receivers, I have Tankdale 48% rostered. Josh Palmer and Quinton Johnson. Johnson at 51%. Josh Palmer at 5%. Adam Theland 58% rostered Revenge game. Maybe he has one more good game in the tank We'll see Marvin Mims 27% rostered. All right, tight ends my favorite here. Tight ends we have and I think this is the biggest beneficiary from Mike Williams not playing. Donald Parham could be the biggest ad here for tight ends. Williams out for the season. So far he's been touchdown dependent with three TDs on the season Standing at six eight. He is an absolutely ginormous red zone target for Justin Herbert. Donald is tight end, six on the season. Add Donald to your team. And then next I have Jake Ferguson, again, 34% rostered. Had the same number of targets as CD lamb against Arizona. Look for a deck to keep force feeding Ferguson. Tight end 11 on the season. Luke Musgrave, still on the list, 25% rostered. Saw eight targets on Sunday, is still trying to find the end zone. Tight end 12 on the season. Not sure if he. I think he might get better when Watson gets there. Just take a little pressure off him. I know Ferguson Musgrave. I still think those guys are too low. Add them before their touchdown blowups and then, when everybody wants to add them, honorable mentions I have Sam LaPorta. He's up there, guys, this guy's a monster. I just I figured I need to add him because he's 73% rostered. There's still a good chance he's on your waiver wire. I know I said 68%. Laporta's too good for me to not mention him. So be diligent, double check your waiver wire. Also, patriots tight ends I had Hunter Henry is tight end two on the season. I believe I don't have that in writing. I believe that's what I saw. Farrow Brown had a huge TD this week against the Jets and I think Hunter Henry returns to form. Mac Jones loves targeting the big guys. Ask Sauce Gardner about that.
