Let's beat the waiver wire right now on Fantasy Football Today Express.
Oh, we had a very fun mic check, everybody. And now we're going to bring it over here. Hey, everybody. We had a great time before we started recording. Too bad you couldn't have been there. But don't worry. We're here to help your fantasy teams by naming a guy that's going to help you in week nine. And now let's get to it. All right, Dave, who's
on the waiver wire quarterback that we want to pick?
I don't
like starting
at the positions. There's got to be one guy at the head of the list that everybody should go out and add. And I think that guy should be Caleb Douglas, who's 56% rostered. And yeah, he's already probably been picked up in your 12-team leagues. And maybe some of your 10-team leagues, he's still going to be widely available. But he's the one that I would go and stash if I had one singular stash spot. He would be a Caleb Douglas wide receiver, Miami Dolphins. Should have had an even bigger game than what he had. If you want to learn more about that, read my, oh, what's it called now? It's like the week two starts and sits from Dave on CBS Sports. It used to have a name. And so I could just say, oh, go read the lineup decisions.
But we don't have a name for it anymore because SEO isn't a thing.
Week two PPR cheat sheet? Nope.
No? Okay. But that is a really good tool if you need to make a start or sit decision and you only have like 30 seconds. You go there. You look for the player who you want to start. It's sorted by game. And if whoever's number is higher is the player that I would start if I were you.
Oh, is it Heath Cummings' week two fantasy predictor? That's it. That's it. It's fantasy football lineup decisions. Toughest start,
sit calls. Oh, they actually have lineup decisions in the title this week. That's cool.
All right. All right, Dave.
Which waiver‑wire wide receiver should I stash first?
So Caleb Douglas... I might have done
it
last week, too. I don't
know. Can we have... Nobody's reading it anyway. Can we...
Quarterbacks, you say? Yeah, yeah. All right, so there's two at the top of the list. And really, I want to try and keep these lists short and sweet, like you. Because then we're able to just give people the two, three players that they can go and pick up. It's not... If I give you eight names, it's not going to help you. If I give you eight quarterbacks, you're literally going to look at me like I'm an idiot, as if you're not already. Bryce Young's at the top of the list. 48% roster. He's actually a halfway decent start this week at Atlanta, although I don't have him as a top 12 guy. He's got Cleveland after that, Detroit after that, a bye after that. I would not start him on his bye. But if he can build off of what the Panthers did in week number one and that offensive line gets healthy, then maybe he ends up being a good fantasy quarterback after all.
The other name on here is Jacoby Brissett. And I'm not starting Jacoby Brissett this week against Seattle. But I would consider him at San Francisco at week three, at the Giants after that, and Detroit after that.
Okay. And he did well against Seattle last year. So fifth or sixth most points of any quarterback against Seattle all season.
How
about running back? Never that good here.
No, and really with running backs, it's more about just picking up somebody and seeing what happens for a week. Because obviously, if there was a running back that was going to be a starter, we would have picked him up already. So strictly stash stuff here. And DeMond Claiborne makes sense. 10% rostered. This could be the running back behind Aaron Jones for however long Jordan Mason is out. Now, in my mind, I would think that DJ Dallas will be the third down back. for the Vikings moving forward. And that means Claiborne is only going to take, I don't know, maybe like 25% of the snaps, 30% of the snaps. But Aaron Jones is literally 58 years old. So if something happens to him, DeMond Claiborne is next man up.
So for a very minimum, taking him and putting him on your bench for just week two is... Doesn't seem like that big of a risk. If he doesn't do anything, then you can go ahead and drop him and pick up a different running back.
