a lot of rookie wide receivers breaking out this week. It was
exciting. We gotta start with the Saints Chris alive
available. Only in 38% of leagues, the 300 Area ards.
Team-high 13 Targets in week, two.
Chris lava is here to stay in the Saints offense. It was
Winston talked about the fact that he should add a much cuter
much bigger day, but it was just on him, meaning Winston
that he didn't.
So again, he's not out there in a ton of leagues. He's only
available as you said close to 40%, but we're checking to see
if he is because it's not a matter of
If it's a matter of when Chris halabi shows up and it's going
to happen sooner. Rather than later little different for Gary
Wilson who's available in 77 percent. Probably going to be
a very popular way of her claim did not play more snaps than
a large more Corey Davis, but that's bound to change after
Wilson. Had 14 targets, a team-high, 22
percent Target share
this season. The two touchdowns like we talked about yesterday.
I thought he even had two more left on the field because of
Joe Flacco, missing him. In the end zone,
got to be excited for the future of Garrett, Wilson right
now especially if you draft him and Dynasty. But he As redraft
League value right now.
Yeah, I mean, at least with Joe Flacco and our Center, we know
Joe Flacco is playing this week. We'll see what happens.
Once once Zach Wilson
is under Center, but
again, we sort of
this happens, a
fantasy draft her sort of ignore draft Capital. They like
they go crazy for a he's on the Jets. At Trail on, Brooks is
playing some snaps for the fourth team. Like they ignore
all these guys. Crystal David people like that, Jehan
dots and I'm going to talk about in
a second as well. He's go to the commander.
Its creators aren't gonna throw
again. These guys all went in the top 16, not Barracks, but
all these guys. One of the top 20 overall, all first-round
picks. There's a reason for it. We love their college tape and
now
teams are finding ways to get them the ball. Do I expect?
Garrett Wilson to you know to have whatever was 102 yards and
two touchdowns every week, of course. Now,
you know, or 14 Targets in a furious comeback as with the Jets.
No. But do I think he's a really talented guy who's going
to be a big part of a team that's going to need to throw
much the year? Obviously, I do. Yeah. With the Jets coaching
staff, it's clicked that he needs to be on the field after
he wasn't enough in week one. All right, another, our last
rookie wide receiver, you mentioned it Jahan Dotson
available, in 50% 57% of leagues, he scored in both
games so far. The gates, he's the clear cut number 2.
Therefore your commanders, he's playing 99% of the snaps of
week 2 and this this follows, like if
you if you listen to me in the preseason at all,
talking to a bunch of people around the commander staff,
they're like, they think they have something John dots and
they were excited to get Curtis Samuel back, but that was
a known entity from their days and Carolina,
Ron Rivera and Scott. Turner
John Dodson, just dominated Camp, nothing but rave reviews
and it's been proven out, especially when you think about
how bad the Commander's defense is and they got to play
Philadelphia this week now. That's obviously He's a tough
secondary but
God, I Carson Wentz. I'm just imagining this guy, Carson
Wentz against that defense, like, but
don't make me watch football this weekend. I'm just asking,
just don't make me watch football, that's all I want. Is
it my job? That's what I've been telling. Co this page.
I told you need to watch football. You need to be here
Sunday, if I quit, well, they would be
joke's on you
then. I don't have to watch
to watch. See, I'm always one step ahead of my producers.
There you go.
That could be ugly. Except
thanks. You too.
What do I have to still be on the show?
Yeah, oh yeah. But now he's just gonna I'm just quitting
now.
I'm quitting now. All right,
throw your name on the list. All right.
Yeah. I
so
jaundice is the real deal. I mean, let's just talk about
that. Just coming out of Penn State. Like, this was a kid
that was great that he liked the, he just jumps off
the screen. And he's proven in the pros like his route. Running is
excellent. He obviously has a
nose for the End Zone, where the three touchdowns in two
games. They're not scared to go to him in big moments. I mean,
the touchdowns, by the way, like, two of the three
touchdowns came late in games when the commanders are
trailing. Yeah.
So like they put them in high leverage situations as well.
Five or more Targets in both games. So
this is an offense that it's going to continue to have to throw.
I'm in on John Dodson.
All right, moving to the veteran wide receiver Market.
Jacoby Myers doing what he always does possession yards.
No touchdowns available in 65% of leagues.
You're coming Myers on those guys. At least in. PPR that you
give a look right now. If you need a floor guy. Yeah, there's
no upside. There, there's no upside to that offense, but
you're just like, I just need to plug a hole.
Just give me like seven to ten. Yeah, exactly. Right.
What's positive here? If you want to talk up to coping Myers is
he's got a thirty percent Target chair, right? And no,
other Patriot is above 18 percent, he's had over 50
yards, over 55 yards, actually in both games this season and
to tough matchup. Oops, defensively for the Patriots,
20 wide receiver 25 this past week, 14 and a half fantasy
points, went 94 95 again, and in games in which they're
trying to grind it out. Myers seems to be a
safety blanket for Mac Jones.
Again, he's much more of a floor play than upside play, but
sometimes that's what you need. And so Jacoby Meyers is
available in 65% of leagues. They're going to have to throw
against the Ravens on Sunday, New England at home against
More keep an eye on the health status of their corners and
more than Humphrey and Marcus Peters. That could be
the difference in
between playing Kobe Myers, you're keeping him on
the bench. All right? The Bucks added cold. Beasley this
morning? If they did, but Russell gauge obviously still
much more involved in him at the moment available in 59% of
leagues.
We know Mike Evans is suspended, Chris Godwin and
Julio Jones. Both missed week to another status to keep
an eye on its Russell gauge guy that maybe you sneak in
the flex spot. Maybe I like again more of a floor play more of a
plug and, you know, just kind of like I got to
plug a hole here. If he doesn't do it this week, then I don't
know the signing of cold Beasley. I think is pretty
interesting, right? Because that's another slot receiver in
theory, that's a guy that would take snaps away
from Russell gauge. Julio is basically running the
Rob Gronkowski role in this offense, right? And so because
they didn't use Gronk,
they use them some as a Titan, but not all the time, right?
And so
you know, and we'll get God when Evans back here in two
weeks. Maybe hopefully certainly Ivan's off
the suspension. Hopefully, God when his available
soon after that,
You
know,
if there's something to hang your hat on. He led
the Buccaneers and routes run last week, but again feels more of
a floor play than an upside play there. Other guys I prefer but
we just want to point out that he is available
and at least this week should be a lot of targets available
for also gauge again
given that we don't expect God when we know Mike Evans is
suspended and who knows with Julio. All right Cooper.
Russia's best friend. No brown with the breakout performance.
Mom catches over Brown, 91 yards, and a touchdown. Find
somebody who
looks at you the way they
They Cooper Rush looks at NOAA Brown, that's all you need. And
let's write right now each available in 98% of leagues.
Now Michael, gallops eventual return could impact this, we
buying in on, Noah, brought him and he's out there and every
leak
every single league right now,
you know, what? I kind of am at least from Gallup shows back
up, because I think
Cooper Rush clearly has a connection with him. He's had
five catches and 65 yards or more in both games this year,
right? 91 yards last week against the Against The
Bangles, Who currently
The team in targets like
Cooper Roch and credit coach Garrett who came on the fantasy
football pregame show on Sunday morning and said, for all
the Panic I'm paraphrasing. What coach Garrett said. But like
he's like,
I like Cooper rush, we liked him in Dallas,
always prepared. He will run me off and then while he's not
going to he's like he's not going to wow you but can he run
the offense? Could he do it effectively, can he stay within
the system and get you the plays? You need? Yes. And
in essence which coach Garrett said is like this is not going
to be the disaster that everyone thinks it's going to
be and he was 100% right Cooper rush, move that move the ball,
moved the offense and so
his number-one receiver, it looks like is Noah Brown. So,
in a, in a Monday night game, against the Giants, the to
know, undefeated first place Giants.
Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Maybe about the secondary, really scares
you
in New York. It's fine. But I think, I think Noah Brown is
a useful piece, you know, if you're looking for somebody
that deep, all right, back to Arizona as roto world said,
the inevitable
Greg, Dortch available in 93% of leaks, he has gone, for at
least, 55 yards in both games this season, caught a touchdown
in week 2 against the Raiders. They have the Rams this week at
home. Greg torch
kind of been popular waiver wire pick up now. Yeah, I mean,
again, desperation desperation door anymore. Just desperation
Dortch is really what it is.
You know, he's basically taking the rondelle more role in this
offense and so a lot of stuff near the line of scrimmage and
they try to sort of scheme him open
that Cardinals offense. Just looks like a mess like I
I know ultimately the end of the day they put a fantasy
points because I had this fear is come back and and Kyler did
Kyler like things ran around for Ryan time just but right
I mean
sure I'm Greg George. I just
you sound, you sense of bothered about I'm in
the plane, the Rams this week I got I don't have a lot of,
here's what I would say,
I don't have a ton of confidence,
I don't have a ton of confidence in the Cardinals
offense right now, period, I still do think that the pecking
order goes Marquis Brown, Zach ertz and then
Maybe Dortch, but, you know, maybe after the running backs
to especially if James Connors out there. So you look at
the like the third or fourth option,
on an offense that feels broken a tough matchup against
the Rams. But production is production he's had over 55
yards
in both games this season. He's had a lot of receptions. It
does feel like they are trying to again the way they would use
Rhonda more. They're trying to scheme over there trying to do
a few things. So,
okay, I'm Greg Dortch like I feel like I'm sort of talking
myself into them but like but yeah again I feel similar to
him the way I felt like with
Engage or some of the other guys. We've talked about feels
like more of a floor play than an upside play. Another guy
with the yeah but you need another kind of similar mold
that's available in 89% of leagues, Target Monster but
obviously not big plays more short,
short passes, Sterling Shepherd.
Yeah and I know your little higher on, I like Sterling
separately. Here's a guy led the team in Targets in week 2
right here and the second most routes
he played 90% of the offensive snaps. Remember, he's coming
back from a very serious injury and Sterling Shepherd has
a history of being a fantasy. Wide receiver.
He's right? I mean Health has been the issue with Sterling
Shepherd and then you look around
New York Rondell Robinson has been hurt for the first. Two
games Canary is Tony can't get in the field and it seems like
he the coaching staff has lost all confidence in could areas,
Tony
kenyala day where for out there a, what wherefore art thou
kind of God a, right? And so like
Daniel Jones like there to know and they're
like it's not pretty training wheels on the Jones a little
bit right
day balls. Got them believing
And and so as Sterling Shepherd, works his way back in
the health. Remember he wasn't there for much of training camp
and
this sort of came in towards the end
it's a lot of people thought he would start the season on
the pup. So the fact that he's even out there, the fact that he
played 90% of the snaps, I just think
he's getting healthier every single week. He's the only guy that
Daniel Jones Jones seems to trust in the passing game
outside of C'est quand, not counting him.
I just think there's some sneaky appeal for Sterling
Shepherd, because it's clear through two games that while
the Giants are going to be World. Beaters,
they're not Be the disaster. We all thought they are there to
know like again, like again low-scoring games that they
sort of grind it out against Tennessee and Carolina,
but 2 and 0 is 2 and 0 in the NFL. And so,
I'm a day ball believer, and as he's sitting there looking
like, what do I got to work with? It's not much, he's got
sake one, he's got Sterling Shepherd? Who's available in?
89 percent of leagues.
You saw in my team that I lost to like I picked him up,
you know. Yeah. Right. What hey,
by the way, had 12.3 fantasy points last week.
It was solid. Yeah, he was holiday and I going to think
he's going to continue to
to increase especially when they get in the end, they
getting close Daniel Jones likes to look for him. And to
your point, this giant staff has showed you, they're not
really interested in using kenyala day. They're not really
interested in using
Code areas, Tony that opens the door for Sterling Shepherd. As
you said play, 90% the offensive snaps and weakened
area is Tony DeVante Parker Devin du vernay. I know he
scored three touchdowns in two games but he just not getting
any Targets snaps.
All those guys are that are guys that I'd be okay dumping
if you need to free up a roster spot to grab some of the wide
receivers we've talked about
d.
