What are the biggest Week 4 fantasy football waiver wire priorities?
This is an IHR podcast. Guaranteed human. Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, here's the thing. I talk to actor Steven Root. I'm a people watcher. You see that guy going down the drawing go, yeah, I can use that. And Open Igloo co-founder Alia Mohammed. I love staying on top of what is going on in our city, what is on renters' minds, and taking all of that knowledge to build a platform that hopefully is gonna make New York City better in the long run. Listen to Here's the Thing on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up friends and welcome into Fantasy Pros. This is the week four waiver wire show, where this week we have got a couple bangers. We got a couple running backs. We've actually been doing debates. Wasn't even like a planned thing into the season where each week it's been this guy or this guy at the tippy top. We're obviously gonna go through all of it, but but the running backs that are gonna be paired against each other, they're big dogs this week. So some fat busters are gonna about to happen and we're gonna have some top waivers. We're also Going to be talking about each position, some streamers, who should we be cutting, and what does the top five look like? I've got Jake Seeley from The Athletic and Pat Fitzmorris here.
And this week, gentlemen. I preemptively was titling the sheet something else because then another running back injury happened we saw Devon H and Ruin my Sunday and ruin my props and a few things. But in comes Ollie Gordon, and it looked like it was the Ollie Gordon week, but no, Brees Hall goes down. So two big running back injuries, and it's Braylon Allen time. So Braylon Allen and Ollie Gordon, they are going to dominate and top the waivers this week.
Should fantasy managers prioritize Braelon Allen or Ollie Gordon?
But the question is. Which one? Because I see dissenting opinion uh around the uh interwebs, the injuries. I wonder I wonder how much the injury is gonna play into how far you want to go. The AN injury looks maybe slightly a little bit more concerning than the Braylon Allen one, but uh Jake, why don't you start with us here? We've got two running backs that look like they've got a runway, maybe one has a season. Ollie Gordon went 17 for 41, not super effective. perspective, but he did score a touchdown. Braylon Allen, this happened later. Four for 14, also caught three for 13. Braylon Allen under rostered under 20% of leagues, but Oli Gordon is zero percent. So what do you think about this running back situation and the waiver spot here for Fab versus top waivers?
Yeah, it really comes down to the fact that uh we don't know the timeline for either. It's so like you said, it sounds more damning for HN than it does. Although Brees Hall, when being interviewed, he's like, I felt something before the tackle and then I felt something else during that doesn't sound like I know it's saying a thigh as of right now, but like the way he went down looked like he was holding his hip, whatever it is. The fact that he said, I felt something else is what I I I like. That doesn't sound good to me. And Yeah. You and I were talking about before the show, Aaron Glenn said he's not saying anything until Wednesday. So we're gonna have to make moves likely before people can like wait to see what the outcome for either are.
Uh like I said, we we assume it's really bad for A-chan. But I'm going with Braylon Allen. And it's I don't want to say it's like a smash easy call for me. Obviously, if we found out surprise, surprise, somehow Bright Brees Hall was only out a week or two, that would change things and uh A-chan's out for the season. But the biggest factor comes into it is I just think Jalen Wright's going to be a factor. I think that it's going to be similar to the Steelers' backfield with Dowdle and Warren, is that on a lesser team, a lesser offense, lesser production, let's be honest. Like I was an Ollie Gordon fan coming out of college. I was surprised he slipped as far as he did. But after watching him in the NFL, kind of makes sense.
He's been okay. That arguably at times yesterday, he probably looked better than he has in.
