What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Oh,
yeah. This is fantasy football today from CBS Sports. What a
play! Can you believe this?
No!
It's time to dominate your fantasy league.
Off to the races, and he stays on his feet.
He's just going to go the distance. Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
Okay, week two.
What are the biggest winners and losers from Sunday’s fantasy football action?
Sunday is basically in the books. We're waiting for Sunday night football to start. We welcome you here to Fantasy Football Today. Adam Azer, Heath Cummings, Jamie Eisenberg, and Dave Richard. How many... I got two trivia questions for you. How many players outscored Jackson, Smith, and Jigba in PPR this week? None. Three. Zero. Oh, three.
How does Caleb Williams’ hamstring injury affect the Bears and fantasy owners?
Name them, Heath. Josh Allen. Yeah. You can stop there. It's just Josh
Allen. Oh, okay. I didn't know we were counting quarterbacks.
Oh, we are. I said players. They're players too, Dave. Come on, bro. Here's another trivia question. What do Deshaun Watson, CJ Stroud, Jaden Daniels, and Brock Purdy have in common? They all did something today. Deshaun Watson, CJ Stroud, Jaden Daniels, and Brock Purdy. They all led their team in rushing. They all led their team in rushing.
I looked at one point and Brock Purdy was averaging 10 yards per rush attempt. And he was more efficient per pass attempt.
Oh, my goodness.
Which early‑season waiver‑wire targets should fantasy managers consider?
He was amazing today. Another great day for Brock Purdy. All right, listen, big injuries today. Caleb Williams' hamstring maybe won't be as bad as we feared. I guess he was walking with a slight limp after the game. Jaden Daniels, Tom Brady wasn't happy with it. Arm injury, probably an elbow. I don't know if officially they said that. What did he say, Jamie? No, he didn't say anything. Oh, dude, stop, stop, stop. Edit it out, Thomas. All right. Oh, that's rude. Yeah, let's stop doing this from now on. Yeah, it's...
If they can say it on national TV, we can say it here.
Yeah, we can. You're making more work for Thomas, Jamie. All right, stop. Anyway, we'll talk about those injuries and what they mean for everyone in fantasy, and hopefully we'll get good news.
Why is Jaylen Waddle considered the top winner of the week?
You know, honestly, just fingers crossed. I thought Jaden Daniels was going to be out for the year last year, and he wasn't, so you never know. Dave, who's the biggest winner today?
There are some big-time candidates, but I'm going to go with the guy that had one catch for two yards last week and everybody was running to the exits on the Denver Broncos passing offense and Jalen Waddell. Eight catches, 138 yards, big-time game, double digits in targets. Did what we expected him to do. Just a monster game, over 20 PPR points. No more questions about whether or not you should start or sit him. He was started in 57% of CBS leagues. That number is going to go up to 90% in week three.
Who are the weekend’s other breakout players (Henderson, Bryce Young, Aaron Jones, Dalton Schultz, George Kittle, Trey Tucker)?
Week three against the Rams, and he also was a yard short of a touchdown, and then J.K. Dobbins got three straight chances and couldn't get in from the one-yard line. Heath, who is the biggest loser today? I can't hear it. Heath?
I can't hear it. It's
so bad. I'm sorry. I ruined it. It was fantastic before the show. It
was great
to be able to mic check. Yes. No, though. Jokes aside, I think it has to be Colston Loveland. Like I woke up on Monday morning last year, last week with so much shame for my little mini freak out over Colston Loveland after week one. And I had tweets about it and I thought, you know, you guys are right. I'm just going to rank him as tight end two again. And he was tied into on his own team again.
Yeah, even though, obviously, it was a bad weather game and Caleb threw for 138 yards. They were facing the Vikings and all that.
Which players turned into the biggest losers (David Montgomery, Drake Maye, Marvin Harrison Jr., Travis Etienne, Colston Loveland)?
He still only had three targets. And now he's got to deal with a quarterback injury. By the way, Heath was playing the San Diego Superchargers song. That's the biggest. You couldn't hear it at all. And you can hear it
perfectly before. It's so annoying.
I'm
sorry.
It was
a
bad job. It was
a
good
mime.
It was, yeah.
I've never seen Heath dance before.
Well, let's talk about the Bears, I guess, with the injury, guys. And, you know, you can throw Burden on there, too. And it's just like Kalief Raymond still doing his thing and being involved.
