What waiver‑wire strategy do Adam and Dave recommend at the start of the episode?
It's time to beat the waiver wire and the Colorado Rockies right now on Fantasy Football Today Express. Oh Dave's got baseball playoff fever, looking good Dave.
The Chicago White Sox have clinched the playoffs for the third time in seven years, and most importantly, the first time this year, they have defeated the Kansas City Royals. They are in a fierce battle for the AL Central. I don't know how many people knew this about me, but I am a diehard Chicago White Sox fan. Really don't know anything else about baseball other than the White Sox. They're the one pro team that I can watch and just be totally biased for, be totally ignorant to everything. Everything else in the league, and I'm super excited that they made the playoffs. I look forward to supporting them on their playoff run all the way to the World Series.
Okay, wonderful. The other thing you need to know about baseball is that the playoff seating is very stupid and backwards. It needs to be revisited. Okay, Dave, uh quarterbacks to pick up for week four. What are we looking at here on the waiver wire?
Well, there's a quarterback that you can actually use in week three, but you have to be a little bit desperate to do it. And maybe he's still out there in Superflex in two QB leagues as well. This would be famous Jameis Winston of the New York Giants. He's gonna be their quarterback the rest of the season. 14% roster. That means he's eighty-six percent available, ladies and gentlemen. The Titans this week, he's got Arizona after that, Washington after that, and the Saints after that. So this is a nice easy. Easy stretch for Jameis Winston to get on the field. And we know that he can be very boom or bust, but the boom could be great. We talked about it uh when do we talk about it? On Tuesday's show. He's due to have at least one 30-point game somewhere in there.
When will it be? Honestly, it could be this week against Tennessee. So if you're inclined, if you're desperate a quarterback, or if you can start two quarterbacks, Jameis Winston should be on your shopping list. The rest of the names aren't that Bad either. Geno Smith, 14% rostered, same as Jameis. He's got Detroit this week. He's at Chicago, then against Cleveland. So spread the news. There are quarterbacks in New York that you could pick up and use in case of emergency or in case of desperation because three quarterbacks went down with injury last year, or last week, rather, excuse me. And you can find both Jameis Winston and Geno Smith on the waiver wire. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Marcus Mariota.
He's got Indianapolis. against the the he's got Indianapolis in London in week four, the Giants after that in week five. I think by the time they get to that week four game, the passing offense should be solid. I wouldn't want to use Mariota this week, but the week after, yeah, I'd be can I'd be down with him.
Yeah, I think there are a couple more names too. It it's a good week for quarterbacks. I in a shallower league, you got CJ Stroud facing the Cowboys. Uh but you have Jacoby Brissett, his next two matchups after this week. Brissett's at the Giants and home against Detroit. And you've got if you want to go Uh Daniel Jones gets Washington. Basically, there's three NFC East teams that I want to pick on. Definitely Washington and Dallas, and probably the Giants as well.
Which quarterbacks are worth stashing before Week 3 and why?
When you're looking at quarterback streamers, you look at those three NFC East teams. I think they're all green lights for quarterbacks. Are there any running backs to pick up? Nobody seemed to want to pick up Caleb Johnson. I get it. Uh, but it's not like there are running backs growing on trees. He's uh he was twelve percent rostered. I think now he's twenty one percent rostered. Anyone else? I think there's two that you could
stash. Through Sunday morning and then make a decision on whether or not you want to carry them through the games. It's Damon Claiborne in Minnesota. It's Emmanuel Wilson in Seattle. And the whole idea is that Aaron Jones is banged up. Is he going to play? He practiced on Thursday. That's a good sign.
