Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Heifens, and I'm joined by Danny, Kaylee, and Craig Coralbeck. And we are going over all the players you need to add after week two, entry week three for the NFL season. Email us, fantasy court emails, for power hour on Wednesday. Emails trivia questions here so it's gonna work. We're gonna go position by position. We're gonna give the top pick from a position, and then like the waiver wire, only one of us gets them. So we'll do a trivia tiebreaker and then we'll figure it out. We'll try to help you figure out which positions. And which players did each position out of waivers. It's not that complicated. I promise you'll figure it out. Email us at ringyourfantasyfootball at gmail.com.
Send us those. A lot of players got hurt this week. Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels, Saquon Barkley, J.K. Dobbins, Rico Dattle, Jadarion Price, Jonathan Brooks, the whole Mike Evans, Jaden Reed. There's a range of brutal out for the season to boo-boos and everything in between. We will go with running backs, but we do have to. Start With Caleb Williams, who I thought was getting carted off with like a torn ACL. I would not see him play football for a year. To our own Tom Palaisero here at the ringer, posting that Caleb Williams avoided any major injury to his hamstring Sunday. Test confirmed. And the team is not even ruling Caleb Williams out for next week's game on Monday night football against the Eagles.
Well that Ben Jensen then said that he's planning for him to miss sometime. Yes. So maybe in theory could be
practiced. He'll miss a week or two. D and now so uh DK, what do you make of Caleb Williams going from uh a a fallen hero to now kind of a meme where everyone's like, Oh look, it's like my dog when he get back gets back from the vet and it cost me eight hundred dollars and he's fine. Yeah.
Yeah. The most popular meme on socials today was basically me stumping my toe and then it's like a picture of Caleb Williams like getting carted off, hold like pumping his fist, like you know, crying and whatnot. Um not maybe you know, look, it's easy to make fun of that. In the moment, I'm sure he thought it was hurt really badly, but why would you tell me when Well, If you tell me
when you pulled your hamstring and I saw it, it was a giant bruise on your hamstring. You had a grade one hamstring strain. How painful was that in the moment?
You know, um I didn't have the game on the line like Caleb did. Also didn't scream that much. My friends uh thought I was fine for two hours, you know. So we all have
different
pain thresholds.
Exactly. Yeah. Uh so you know Ultimately great news though for the Bears.
I Yeah, you're right. Look, he was in pain. You don't want to mock anyone for the reaction to pain. Um, having said that, uh, should we rank like the best memes of Caleb Williams getting carted off?
Which running backs should I add from the waiver wire for Week 3?
Sure, my favorite
you have a power ranking?
I think the number one has to be the someone posted me waking up with a sore back on that weird hospital couch while my wife is giving birth.
Yeah, taking the towel off your head and waving to the crowd.
Running back DK, actually a lot of players and waivers this week.
