upcoming by weeks and then the waiver wire as well but be sure to stick around to the end cuz I'm also going to be giving you a few players that you no longer need that you can just drop to the waiver wire but let's go ahead and start off talking about some injuries first because there were some bigname guys that got banged up in week four and right at the top of the list we got Anthony Richardson quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts I know a lot of people don't want to start him in fantasy football right now but he did suffer a hip injury does not sound major sounds like he could have even returned to the game in week four had they needed him to so he more than likely will be there week five a lot of kind of want to see Joe flacko for another week though because he definitely moved the ball down the field with ease to the likes of Michael Pitman and Josh Downs so if Anthony Richardson wants to take a week or two off I'm sure some fantasy owners would be okay with that right now how about Christian Watson he's injured again shocker right I mean I don't think anybody is surprised that he's hurt once again it happens almost every single year now he's dealing with a high ankle sprain more than likely going to go on the IR and miss some time then we had Tamm Hill he took away a huge day from Alvin Kamar with a couple goal line carries but then he suffered an abdominal injury and more than likely is going to miss some time which means Alvin Kamar should get all those carries back which is great cuz he's already getting all kinds of volume and then we get into some Heavy Hitters what about Rashid rice with the feared torn ACL more than likely done for the year officially at the time of this recording that hasn't been announced but it's highly likely that that's the injury and man this hurts the chief's offense they lost Hollywood Brown they lost Isaiah Pacho now they've lost Rashid rice things are different in Kansas City even though they keep winning and then lastly Jonathan Taylor another CT here on the list he suffered a high ankle sprain more than likely going to miss a couple weeks as well now whether or not he goes on IR that's what we're kind of waiting to find out but we know we're probably not going to have him for the foreseeable future here for the Indianapolis Colts which absolutely sucks but now let's transition over to some of the things that we learned from just last week the first one the Washington commanders are one of the best teams in the NFC it is what it is they went out and mushroom stamped the Arizona Cardinals they've scored 38 points now in back-to-back games Terry mclen is now fully involved in this offense and Jaden Daniels is looking like the Rookie of the Year in the NFL the commanders are super fun to watch right now how about this one the only difference between Andy Dalton and Tom Brady is red hair yes I'm being a little bit factious here but Andy Dalton has almost 550 yards and five touchdowns in two starts with the Carolina Panthers I think at this point a lot of people have just forgotten about Bryce young Andy Dalton is by far looking like the better quarterback in Carolina right now how about this one the sleeper season is in full force now some of my biggest offseason sleepers this year were Chris Godwin Khalil Shakir Rasheed Shahed Chase Brown Xavier legot davien Wicks Trey Tucker and Jaden Daniels I think they're turning out pretty well thus far now did anyone expect names like that to be as involved as they are only four weeks into the season maybe not but with all the injuries and the inconsistencies right now in the NFL game these guys are absolute potential studs rest of season next Point here Jonathan Ganon of the Arizona Cardinals needs to be fired and let me be clear here I don't expect the Arizona Cardinals to be 4-0 right now I don't expect them to go out and win most weeks but I definitely expect more from this overall offense they're getting a little bit too cute you're not that good of a team to be that cute on Sundays they're not utilizing their best players enough look what the Giants are doing with Malik neighbors everyone on planet Earth knows he's going to see 10 plus targets Marvin Harrison Jr eh not so much we'll feed him every once in a while it's just plain stupidity if I'm going to lose a ball game I'm going to lose it with my best players having the opportunity because the last thing I want to do is lose a ball game and be like at least we got Elijah Higgins a couple targets it's just a losers mentality and Jonathan Ganon needs to go and then lastly the Kansas City Chiefs now are going to be forced to use Travis Kelce more than they wanted to in the regular season with the loss of Rashi rice and Hollywood Brown and Isa Pacho start to expect Travis Kelce to get peppered once again which absolutely sucks because for me he's been a must of void most of the year he's been on the trading block for multiple weeks because they didn't really need him when they had all these offensive weapons but now they're probably not going to have a choice they really wanted to give him a lesser role keep him healthy all 17 games and then unleash him in the playoffs now it looks like he's going to have to be used more just due to all the injuries they're sustaining on the offensive side of the football now like I also said in my opening there's a few teams on by this week we have the Detroit Lions the Tennessee Titans Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers so for the Lions we're not going to have almond Ross St Brown jir Gibbs David Montgomery or Jameson Williams for the Titans we're not going to have Tony Pard Calvin Ridley or DeAndre Hopkins the Eagles no jayen Herz no AJ Brown no Devonte Smith no saquon Barkley and no Dallas godare cuz right now yes I'm feeling a tad bit fancy and then the Chargers I guess you'll be without JK Dobbins I don't know if we're really starting anyone else consistently I'm not even starting JK Dobbins consistently maybe maybe alad makoni you other than that though not a whole lot of fantasy pieces for the Chargers that we're going to miss in week five which means now we can dive into the waiver wire and let's start off at the quarterback position and we got four maybe five quarterbacks to talk about here this week the first one being Justin Fields he's only owned in 41% of leagues now he's going against Dallas here this week he has gotten progressively better over the last three weeks of the season now Arthur Smith and his offensive game plan it's still crap but with the rushing upside of Justin Fields he's making up for it now a matchup going up against Dallas who's Big D looking a little bit more shriveled here as of late then we got Sam darnold who's playing Amazing football for the Minnesota Vikings he's 61% owned in a matchup going up against the Jets so not an easy matchup for him here this week but he is the only quarterback in the NFL with over 10 passing touchdowns through four weeks of the Season he utilized Jordan Addison right away in his first game back he's playing great football then we got Caleb Williams he's 65% owned with a great matchup going up against Carolina and he just missed a few Big Time plays in week four by mere inches he's playing a little bit better really for me though this is all about the matchup then we got Andy Dalton his opponent in that game so he's going to be traveling to Chicago to face the Bears Andy Dalton has five touchdowns over the last two weeks and this offense looks so much better with him under Center than it did with Bryce young now Andy dalan actually played for the Chicago Bears a couple years ago so I'm sure he'd like to go back to Chicago and put some points up on the board in his return but then I also included Joe flacko on this list now like I talked about during the injury section there's a chance that Anthony Richardson returns in week five but if he does not if he is ruled out Joe flacko is a decent play in week five for sure he's barely owned anywhere he's got a matchup going up against the Jacksonville Jaguars who are dealing with a lot of injuries right now and Joe flacko has plenty of weapons in Michael Pitman and Josh DS Adonai Mitchell Jonathan Taylor is also banged up which means they're going to have to throw the ball a little bit more as well now if Anthony Richardson is 100% And they say he's going to start then maybe we don't add Joe flacko but if he's ruled out for any reason he is definitely somebody that I would stream in week five if need be but now we'll transition to running back where we got nine guys we're going to be talking about here this week the first one is Kareem hunt he has to be utilized in this offense more right with so many injuries someone's got to touch the football Kareem hunt LED this backfield and touches with 16 last week you expect that to continue now it shows he's only owned in 38% of leagues which is crazy to me but we pulled that number directly off a sleeper so if you don't like it email them not us but with a matchup this week going up against the New Orleans Saints Kareem Hunt is going to have a role is he going to be inside my top 12 rankings probably not but with 16 plus touches a week he's probably going to be inside the top 24 then we got Bucky Irving who I've talked about on this show multiple times I've even put him on the thumbnail of this show before just to get more people to pick him up and now his ownership percentage is up to 62% so it's climbing but it's not high enough yet go check your waiver wire for Bucky Irving he has a matchup this week going up against Atlanta and he's a guy who's hovering right around 10 fantasy points per game but only getting 10 touches per game with Rashad white still somewhat struggling and not 100% healthy if he misses is any time Bucky Irving is going to go boom but he's not the only guy that I've talked about a lot this year how about Chase Brown and this one right here is like a proud father moment right I had Chase Brown in the draft guide as a potential breakout sleeper I've talked about him all off season long and now people are starting to understand why after what they saw from him in week four he's currently only owned in 56% of leagues a tough matchup this week going up against Baltimore but can you imagine if Zach Moss were to go down and then ask ask yourself this question how about this how often does Zach Moss go down and the answer is basically yearly you don't have to study football to go watch tape and see that chase Brown is an explosive running back who if he gets more touches is going to put up massive numbers I love Chase Brown so much I'm actually going to make him my self- reses pickup of the week now every team needs a self- reses at some point no I'm not talking fortnite I'm not talking Call of Duty I'm talking about coffee something I love and self-re is an amino acid infused coffee which delivers more than just caffeine it's made with organic coffee beans and includes an amino acid called el tyrosine now maybe you're saying what the hell is that well it's known to enhance cognitive function increase energy improve your mood and even reduce stress all things I need but it gets even better they're actually a veteran-owned company and we would love to support them so if you're looking for some coffee with a little bit of an added boost head over to self- reses coffee and throw yourself a Lifeline right now there are links Down Below in the description of this video so yeah get yourself some coffee and some Chase Brown and thank me later next guy up on the list is brillan Allen another name who's been on this show for multiple weeks and I'm going to continue to include him he's only 62% owned as of right now A matchup coming up against the Minnesota Vikings and while the Jets offense as a hole just looked bad last week Brandin Allen is still getting right around 10 touches of ball game and what happened if Bree Hall goes down you're noticing a theme Here Right with all the injuries we're seen in fantasy football so far in this young season some of these backup running backs have bigger roles than had expected to have at this point of the season they have some Flex value but if they stud in front of him goes down we're talking about a league winning running back which then takes us down to Trey Surman next and I don't know if I want to call him a League winner by any means but he is who is in line to get immediate touches now due to the injury of Jonathan Taylor he's only owned 4% of leagues a matchup this week going up against Jacksonville he's not the most efficient running back but he should see volume to me the bigger question here is the question at the quarterback position if it's Joe flacko I actually like Trey Surman a little bit more if it's Anthony Richardson I think we're in line for some up and down performances that really kind of harm us more than help us in fantasy football but he is in line for immediate touches if you need immediate help then we go down to Justice Hill and I had to add him after the Sun Night Football game he's only owned in 28% of leagues now a match up going up against Cincinnati and I don't know if you noticed or not but when Justice Hill is on the field he looks like he's playing at a different speed than everyone else now obviously this is King Henry's backfield but like I've already said what happens if anything happens to derck Henry Justice Hill looks like an absolute man on a mission when he touches the football it's almost like 10 yards guaranteed when he touches the football and then the throwing them wheel routes down the sideline Justice Hill probably needs to be on more fantasy teams right this second then we go down to Isaac gendo of the San Francisco 49ers only owned in 6% of leagues now a matchup going up against Arizona this one for me is really just next ManUp mentality if you own Jordan Mason I would consider having Isaac greno on the bottom of your bench just in case something happens to Jordan Mason then we go down to Emanuel Wilson he's 30% owned going up against the Los Angeles Rams this week and really he's just another handcuff he's an insurance policy for Josh Jacobs who's still touching the ball every single game he only had one carry less than Josh Jacobs this past week it's really crazy to me how many handcuff running backs right now have a big enough role to be somewhat flexor with all the injuries we're dealing with but then we go down to the last guy on the list it's Roshan Johnson of the Chicago Bears owned in 44 forent of leagues now going up against Carolina not a bad matchup his quote unquote extended role that he was going to be getting in week four that turned out to be seven carries for 26 yards and a touchdown really saved by that touchdown wasn't involved in the passing game whatsoever really DeAndre Swift exploded and maybe whatever future chance Roshan Johnson had is now going to be delayed by a couple weeks but he is a player that has the potential he just needs the opportunity I'm just not so sure yet that he has as much of an opportunity as the guys above him here on the list but now let's transition to wide receivers and I got 10 guys we got to get through here Xavier legot is top on the list he was in this show last week hopefully you added him hopefully you used him but only 38% owned as of right now in a matchup going up against Chicago and people need to listen closely go grab Xavier legot if you have him on your waiver wire with Andy Dalton under Center and an Adam theen injury now is the time for Xavier Leed he had 10 Targets this past week and I really don't see how that's going to change going forward how about W Del Robinson it's a long time coming for me to add a giant here to the list but he deserves it he's only 46% owned in a match up this upcoming week against the Seattle Seahawks and really he's turned into a PPR stud he's getting a ton of targets now they're not going very far past the line of scrimmage it's really all on his shoulders to gain hardly any yardage that he gets but 38 Targets in four games and he's the check down Binky to Daniel Jones if you're in a PPR format he needs to be on your roster how about davien Wicks another proud dad moment for me CU I talked up this guy so much this offseason and said once we see an injury to a Green Bay wide receiver Wix is going to get a chance and then Christian Watson went down and davien Wix went the hell off only 18% owned now a match up going up against the Rams it was only really a matter of time right we knew Christian Watson was going to get hurt at some point once he went down Davian Wicks 13 targets last week five catches 78 yards and two touchdowns now I want to have a little bit of fun with this one so if you were here this off season and you heard all my rants about davien Wicks I want you to throw hash I was here Down Below in the comment section I'm curious to see how many people are watching the waiver wire show that have been checked in all off season long then we go down to Darnell money now he's 67% owned in a matchup going up against Tampa Bay now last week Darnell money only had three catches for 56 yards but Drew numerous downfield penalties and has completed taking Kyle pittz out of this Atlanta offense Kurt Cousins is looking the way of Darnell Mooney Drake London and bejon Robinson and outside of that not a whole lot now at some point throughout this season some of those big plays are actually going to happen and not be taken away by pass interference so definitely have Darnell money on your roster if possible then we have Trey Tucker of the Las Vegas Raiders he's only 18% owned now he's got a matchup going up against Denver he's staying on the field more and more every week but he's really benefiting from injuries on this offense right Devonte Adams missing time and if that's the case for an extended period of time Trey Tucker is getting more targets then we have Josh DS he's only 29% owned in a matchup going up against Jacksonville and if we could have Joe flacko playing Josh DS may be a weekly must start guy we really don't know about that just yet so if you add Josh DS he's a little bit more of bench depth at this point until we get more information now Anthony Richardson does go down for multiple weeks we can fire him up then we have a couple Jets alen Lazard and Mike Williams for Alan Lazard I mean overall this offense is hard to watch for the Jets but Alan Lazard seems to be the guy that Aaron roders looks to almost first in his progression every single time but now we're starting to see Mike Williams get up to game speed a little bit he's starting to learn the Playbook Rogers is starting to trust him down the field a little bit more now really when it comes to these guys they are going to be added bench depth not immediate starts they are two guys that benefited the this past week because Garrett Wilson was covered by Patrick certan but they still need some attention here in fantasy football if you are starving for wide receivers then we have tutu Atwell who's been on this show since the injuries of Cooper cup and puka nakua and a lot of people just see tutu Atwell and they're like I'm not really interested you probably should be a little bit more interested he's only 16% owned a match up coming up against Green Bay and even though people kind of look down on 2 two he's averaged four catches for 87 yards over his last two ball games and and that is exactly who Matthew Stafford is looking for down the field now I'm sorry he's not going to be a 10 catch kind of guy but he gets yards in chunks and in an upcoming matchup this week against the Green Bay Packers he's going to have an opportunity to get some of that chunk yardage once again which then takes us down to the last guy on the list it's Juju Smith Schuster of the Kansas City Chiefs only 2% owned right now in a matchup going up against New Orleans and really someone is going to have to step up in this passing offense is it Juju Smith Shuster is it Justin Watson well in the past we've kind of seen this before a couple years ago Watson a little bit more of that deep play guy that guy that can get you a couple catches for maybe 50 or 60 yards where gu guu could be the guy that absorbs some of that volume underneath and racks up more receptions now why do I not have gu guu higher knowing that they definitely need wide receivers in Kansas City he's not a true number one guy and now that he's going to be quote unquote the number one guy in this offense he's going to command a lot of defensive attention and that's something he struggled with in his career the last few years now could he be somebody that racks up right around six catches for 60 yards a week and the occasional touchdown maybe not a super high ceiling but maybe the floor is a little bit safer he's not someone I would start in week five but I would definitely add him to the bottom of my bench if I'm needy at the wide receiver position which gets us through wide receivers now we're going to transition over to tight ends the football kind where I got a couple guys to look at listen this position is an absolute train wreck we're just trying to find some guys that could potentially see some targets at this point at the top of the list it's Kate Aon of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers only 18% owned in a matchup going up against Atlanta he has back-to-back games now with at least eight targets and six receptions not a whole lot of yardage he's barely getting 50 yards a week but that is definitely something at the tight end position then we go down to Joan Johnson of the New Orleans Saints he's only 5% owned in a matchup going up against Kansas City we know Kansas City typically struggles against tight ends we also know that taes Hill is hurt and Foster maroe had no involvement in the passing game just this past week olve he was seen limping almost the entire second half of that ball game we could see more Jawan Johnson in week five the potential is there then we have Tucker craft of the Green Bay Packers he's only 8% owned in a matchup going up against the Rams he just had nine targets six catches 53 yards and a touchdown as well as a two-point conversion now the game script last week definitely helped right they were training Minnesota majority of the game they had to throw a lot but he's definitely getting more targets and more looks more opportunities right now than Luke Musgrave so if you need a tight end in week five Tucker craft is an option as well as Eric all Jr of the Cincinnati Bengals only 3% owned going up against Baltimore he's had exactly four targets and four receptions now in three straight ball games the yardage somewhat minimal but if you're throwing a desperation Dart Eric all is at least seeing a few balls each and every week which will take it as some defenses honestly not a whole lot out there that I absolutely love that are going to be widely available for people I threw in the Washington commanders who are just playing great football overall right now they have a matchup going up against the Cleveland Browns whose offense is pretty me at times and then the Las Vegas Raiders this one is just about matchup they're going up against the Denver Broncos who look like absolute dog water against the Jets this past week B Knicks did not look good at all sure maybe weather was somewhat of a factor but hopefully the Vegas defense can just keep the score low in this ball game and give you a decent week if you need to stream somebody which now only leaves us the section of a few players that we can now drop on our fantasy teams if you still own them the first one is Mike gaseki tight end of the Cincinnati Bengals currently 53% own but like we just mentioned Eric all is getting more consistent targets than Mike gaseki is and now that t Higgins is healthy Mike gaseki isn't needed as much how about Ezekiel Elliott dude is washed right he's not doing anything in this backfield Rico dowo is getting the bulk of the touches Zeke still 64% owned I would rather have one of the guys that we talked about in the waiver wire portion of the running back position here today than Ezekiel Elliott Jan doson sure they're on bu but that's not why I'm dropping them they had a perfect opportunity to utilize Jan doson last week with so many injuries didn't happen if it's not going to happen then we expect AJ Brown and Devonte Smith back after the byee so now we no longer need Jan doson Christian Watson I'm dropping him if you got him he's 66% owned right now more than likely he's going on the IR and with so many injuries in the NFL I would almost guess that your IR spot is already full and I'm not wasting a bench spot on Christian Watson Jaylen Naylor love Jaylen Naylor really wish he could have consistent volume each week but now with Jordan Addison back that's going to be a little bit more hit or miss Gabe Davis why do 40% of people own Gabe Davis just drop Gabe DAV you don't need Gabe Davis it's Christian Kirk it's Brian Thomas Jr and eventually Evan Ingram is going to be back here in the near future we don't need Gabe Davis and then lastly for the 34% of you who still own Blake km of the Los Angeles Rams feel free to drop him even Ronnie Rivers is touching the football right now not Blake km even though this offense is decimated with injuries so if you got Blake korm and you need something else he's okay to drop as well so there you have over 25 players that may be available on your waiver wire right now that can help your fantasy football team I know injuries suck but we have to prepare it's not like all of a sudden the NFL is going to turn the injury slider to off and everything's going to get better utilizing the waiver wire correctly is a great way to keep your fantasy football team moving in the right direction now I'm going to go ahead and get out of here for the day though but hopefully you enjoy the rest of your day good luck in fantasy football here this week good luck with your waiver claims and then do your part to make the world a better place [Music]"}]
