 Unlike last week, it does seem like we do have a pretty obvious candidate at the top of the waiver pool heading into week number five Damien Williams stepping in for David Montgomery likely to miss some time for the Chicago bearer So we're talking about Damien Williams what to do with him in terms of your free agent budget and much more to get you Said for your week why week five waivers? This is the waiver wire Q&A right here on the Fandal YouTube twitch Facebook and Twitter channels My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for numberfire.com joined here as always by JJ Zachary sin He is the editor-in-chief of number fire and fan duel JJ. Happy week number five to you. How you doing today? I'm good. I'm good ready to talk some waiver wire I think we have some interesting candidates this week I think you know even beyond the waiver wire if anyone checked out the 15 transactions column or podcast this week There's a lot of interesting buy and low buy low sell high type candidates this week, too Yeah, I think that there are some receivers who are bound for some really fun games in the coming weeks We'll probably get to them at some point in the show for today as always no matter where you are watching You can get your questions in via Facebook YouTube Twitch or Twitter no matter where you're watching put the questions in the comments We'll get to them live here on the show, but let's start things off with that Damien Williams discussion talking to Daniel on YouTube He's asking how much we do from a free agent budget perspective for Damien Williams. He's talking about a dynasty So that may change things here first of all JJ I want to get your thoughts on Williams for redraft in terms of the free agent budget and then we'll get to to Daniel Talking about a dynasty situation where Williams is available. Yeah, so You know, let's just look at this situation in general Dave Montgomery. He's been seeing, you know, roughly 88 89 90 percent of the team's running back rushes You know, if you don't count, you know, obviously didn't like play the full game this past week But you know, he's been up there in terms of running back rush share It's one of the top one of the highest numbers in the league over the last two weeks Entering this past action of part of this this past or maybe was entering this past week His target share was up there and like the 14 to 17 percent range I mean, he was he was seeing workhorse numbers David Montgomery was and so with that gone and out of the offense Even if Damien Williams were to see 80 percent of that workload, you know He has an opportunity to be a low-end RB to with that kind of workload But but with the exact same workload as Dave Montgomery has a chance to just be an RB to flat out And so yeah, he should be heavily prioritized off the waiver wire this week You know, we run into this issue every single week when we talk about free agent budget You know, if you're in a shallower league You don't have to spend as much because the waiver wire is a little bit more fruitful than if you're in a 14 16 team league Where you know that the players in the waiver wire aren't very good And if Damien Williams is out there, you're gonna have to spend more to get those put to get that player Not only that, but you have more league mates you're competing against in order to get that guy And so the way that I would say, you know, if we're looking at like a 12 team league Redraft league not dynasty dynasty, you're gonna want to go pretty pretty hard for guy like Damien Williams I would say I'm surprised that he's not rostered in a dynasty league You know, you're gonna want to go pretty hard for Damien Williams because dynasty leagues are usually deeper But in a in a 12 team redraft league, I'm thinking this week with Damien Williams is between You know, if you're really desperate like if you really need running back help I wouldn't I wouldn't be upset or Question you if you went into like the 60 70% range if you really need that help But if you don't and you're just looking for a guy that you would have in the bench Maybe throw in your flex. I think 40 to 50 is probably the right range for Damien Williams this week I think the good thing with him is I feel better about his role in this offense I did about Chewba Hubbard's last week with the Panthers and I felt fine about Chewba Hubbard's But the good thing is we are pretty sure that Damien will get work in this offense because he was getting work When Montgomery was healthy and he's gonna get the kind of work that we want. We can expect Damien Williams to get past catching work I know people bring up 30 Cohen But Cohen is not healthy and he's always will come off pop out in week seven But like will he be ready then even I don't know so I feel pretty good about Williams after Montgomery got hurt on Sunday Williams got the first six carries. He got hurt then he got banged up But he's fine. It sounds like so it was it was the first six carries before Williams got hurt and then Herbert came in So I feel pretty good about projecting Williams have a pretty steady role. So they being aggressive there does make sense Daniel is also asking about The streaming defenses for this week sounds like the Vikings are a team that you like JJ options here Vikings Vegas against the Bears. We got Arizona against the 49ers and Atlanta against the Jets. Who do you prefer between those four? You know, it's funny We are recording my podcast living the stream later today or in this evening And those are the four defenses But I think the Vikings are the best options still of that group I think that you can make an argument for both Vegas and Arizona the only reason I say Maybe not Atlanta's because there's not very good defensively But the Vikings defense, you know, they can definitely be thrown on but They're still getting to the quarterback and their their pass rush has not been that bad They're top 10 in pressure rate They're top five and sacrate this year and they're facing a Detroit team that you know, hopefully would be in a negative game script because Minnesota's a seven and a half point favorite a Detroit team that's been bottom half in the league In sacks allowed and saccharate allowed So I think the Vikings are at least set there to have a pretty good floor And then obviously from a ceiling perspective what we look for from a ceiling standpoint with defenses is I mean It's you really kind of are projecting that floor more than anything else because the ceiling really comes from variance And it comes from you know, did this ball tip this way? Did they get a pick six or something like that? But I do like the Vikings quite a bit this week. Yeah, that's right. It's seven and a half I've got a 10.7 based on my number. So potentially even better than it may seem on paper Joseph is asking Hey JJ, what are your thoughts on Shrey Lance this week and him and Justin Fields rest of the way? I also got a question from Nate asking would you drop fields for Lance? So We don't know if either guy will start this weekend Something Garoppolo actually has a chance to play any Dalton, of course as the team starter as we must be reminded every five minutes What are your thoughts on? Lance in general and then Lance versus Fields going forward. Yeah, so I mean, I'm definitely not as high on Justin Fields as I was at the beginning of the season because we now have a sample size of how they're utilizing him How they're not, you know, he's not escaping the pocket as much as we would like all of that And you know, Trey Lance stepping in for Jimmy Garoppolo this past week There's some like flashbacks of when Justin Fields stepped in for any Dalton and Fields ran the ball like 10 times in two and a half quarters and we're all excited because You know, maybe we're gonna see that kind of rushing production From the quarterback moving forward and then we just haven't from Justin Fields So you have that in the back of your mind when it comes to Trey Lance is that yeah, he ran the ball seven times Yeah, he had 41 yards on the ground. Yeah, he's very electric with the ball You know, I I thought entering the league that he was going to be more of a prolific rusher I think you did as well then Justin Fields it because the arm was there for Justin Fields it was a little bit more mature whereas Trey Lance was more of a raw prospect and You know, given that then we could see him just tuck and run a little bit more often Then what was to see what Justin Fields? And I also trust Kyle Shanahan utilizing the strengths of his quarterback as opposed to Matt Nagy in that and Bill Laser Etc utilizing Justin Fields and then obviously the weapons are there for Trey Lance and I mean the offensive lines I mean the offensive line is a disaster for Chicago. It has been the season and it's not as bad in San Francisco And so, you know, you have a lot of positives to look out with Trey Lance I would prefer Trey Lance over Justin Fields the rest of season and I think at this point You know, if you're in a single quarterback league You can probably drop Justin Fields for Trey Lance because we kind of know what Justin Fields is providing us and look I'm not saying that like this is what Justin Fields is and he's not going to be any better from a fantasy standpoint moving forward You know, a lot of what is going on in Chicago is that they're scoring touchdowns a lot on the ground versus via the air and that's gonna regress at some point, right? But but at the same time, you know, we got to give him some time We can't just assume that he's gonna be a beast like we might have thought entering the season and let's just go with the upside in the situation And what we thought going into the season that Trey Lance had the higher ceiling than Justin Fields Right and I think with Lance a lot of people point to the preseason numbers I think he ran like one time But like it's important remember that like that's the preseason They probably did not want him to get hurt and it's a smart coaching staff I don't think that the game plan there was similar to what we'd expect here So if worried about rushing for for Lance based on preseason, I would be okay downplaying those concerns Let's talk to Busta. Would you prioritize Darnell Mooney or Kaderius Tony at wide receiver Mooney got some moon shots Kind of looking like maybe the Bears wide receiver one Tony had a good role this past week, but may has truly shepherden Darius Satan back at some point soon So who do you prefer between those two guys? I think you you have to go with Mooney In this scenario and look I didn't I didn't love Kaderius Tony as a prospect I thought that that the fantasy community kind of trashed him too much and took it too far You know the way that my model viewed him It wasn't like the same way my model viewed like Van Jefferson who also is looking good But or like a Henry rugs is probably a better example where rugs really did not look good in my prospect model But Kaderius Tony while he had a negative stat score that I call It's just a composite of looking at all these different metrics that I'm looking at in my model It wasn't so it wasn't nearly as bad as like a Henry rug So I think that the way people looked at Kaderius Tony He was still like a 90th percentile wide receiver in my model partially because of the draft capital But I just think it was it's been a little bit unfair in the way that people have viewed him We know that we know that he has that draft capital and we know that he's an insanely athletic, right? In the way that they utilized in this past week. He played 58% of his snaps from the slot You know, he was able to do I mean they they utilized him in a pretty smart way get the ball in his hands But he also had someone of a diverse routry. I mean he showed I mean he had a pretty good game against New Orleans And so, you know what I prefer Tony over Mooney probably not because I'm afraid of what happens with both Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard are back if we and think of it this way There's there of those two wide receivers one of them matters more to Kaderius Tony than the other the one that matters more is Sterling Shepard because Sterling Shepard plays a slot and he's a very very good slot receiver He's one of the best slot receivers in the league and so that's not gonna allow Kaderius Tony to be on the field as much And you have to assume that as long as the Giants are at least in the playoff hunt like not statistically eliminated They're not just gonna play Kaderius Tony over Sterling Shepard So, you know the peripherals to Darnell Mooney has a 26% target share this season Kaderius Tony had a 25% share this past week with everything working in his favor So, yeah, I know that this is a long-winded answer. I'm gonna go with with Darnell Mooney fairly easily here I just want to throw some thoughts out there about Kaderius Tony. Yeah competition for targets for Darnell Mooney is Alan Robinson and then Like they just traded for Joaquin Grant. I guess like it's a it's a steep fall off after that like Cole Komet Sure, but the competition they're much lower, which is good for him But I think that like you said Tony interesting for sure. Just don't expect that role to stick when Shepard is back Let's talk to Matt. He's in a rough spot at running back. Would you trade Joe Mixon for Darrell Henderson? This is very much a I need something now Type of situation, but also Darrell Henderson is not bad JJ We don't like these like one for one at the same position trades But I think this might be different given the timeline on Nixon. So what's your thoughts on this one? Yeah, I honestly even if Joe Mixon were completely healthy right now If if we if we knew that Joe Mixon was absolutely gonna play in week five, which is in question You know Zack Taylor came out and said that that it might not be that bad It's more day-to-day than week-to-week and I know that other doctors You know, Dr. Chow said that it's probably more week-to-week. So we'll see how it all how it all shapes up I'm still going Darrell Henderson over Joe Mixon and Let's just think of it this way if you look at their peripherals right now and the way that the Rams are utilizing Henderson Maybe Joe Mixon is gonna have a little bit higher of a running back rush share within his offense versus Darrell Henderson But Darrell Henderson has had a better target share in the majority of his games played this year And it's in a better offense a better offensive line. They have a better just offense. The offense is gonna score more It's gonna be better in general And and we know that both guys, you know, basically like the peripherals and the way that they utilize these guys like Close to the end zone and such. They're fairly similar between the two and so use the tiebreaker of who's in the better situation And that better situation is easily Darrell Henderson and then not only that I wrote this up in my 15 transactions column talked about on the podcast Darrell Henderson in the Rams offense have an unbelievably favorable schedule for running backs If you look at the next 11 weeks only three of their opponents are below average and adjusted fantasy points allowed And if you look at what happens through the rest of the season only two teams Houston and Jacksonville Have more favorable running back schedules than the Rams do and and now look that's gonna change with more data You know because that's all adjusted based on how opponents are playing one another etc, etc That's gonna change But I think that it's still something that's another thing that favors Darrell Henderson is that this schedule looks really really good So yeah, I mean, I just think that Henderson's a smash by this week because Given this question and just given the way that people are talking about Henderson and viewing him I think people view him as like this like fine enough RB two, but he's legitimately a fringe RB one You know Jim you and I were talking before the show about guys that we would rather Roster than Darrell Henderson. I got to five names and it got real tough. Yeah, you get to like you get to in look I think that you can make the argument for a lot of guys, right? Like a like I think that where the line starts to be drawn is like when you get to like the Jonathan Taylor CEH kind of guys where you know, they're not seeing as much work through the errors We would like and you know, Jonathan Taylor's case. He's a little bit game script dependent CEH's case He's not seeing all the goal line work Darrell Henderson seeing that stuff Like he's he's getting that work and he's in a better offense and you know You have to adjust your your priors and the way that you felt entering a season with some of these guys And it's not like Darrell Henderson was this horrific prospect coming out either It's not like he's been this bad running back and so I think that you know for a lot of those guys I would rather have a Darrell Henderson I think that that the hardest one is probably like a Najee Harris because the the offense is not good But he's getting so much work and he's good You know, I would probably still prefer Najee, but that's what we're talking about here with Darrell Henderson He's a low-end RB one. I think from here on out Yeah I was concerned with Henderson going into week four because I was like, okay, you know We got hurt again. That was their concern with him overall They were putting him in bubble wrap during the preseason then they ran him out there for an 89% snap rate in a game Where they were down by three scores. Yeah, so pretty sure they're all in so we should be as well Let's talk to Mark. Thoughts on Latavius Murray led the Ravens and snaps this past week Levy on Bell played about 27% of the snaps Murray no targets though, but they get some good rushing work What are your thoughts on Latavius and this Baltimore offense? I mean This backfield man. It's it's frustrating I think that of the guys like like, you know, if you were to ask me Which which running back in this backfield would you want to roster after week three? I would have easily said Tyson Williams Because not only what did he you know, I know that he didn't really perform against Detroit They didn't really give him the ball, but he still played half the snaps And he also he's also been the most effective runner when you're looking at things like, you know yards over expectation and stuff He's just been the best running back in that backfield Which is why it was so shocking that they made him an active this past week I I almost have been wishing that there's like a story behind it and that there's more to it But I haven't seen anything, you know around that because I think he's been the best running back in that backfield Given what we saw this past week I guess Latavius Murray is that guy that you would want in the backfield, you know He's the one who's consistently been playing an active But is there a running back in this backfield that I'm going to want to trust as an RB two or a weekly starter in my lineup? No, I just I don't think it's gonna be that worthwhile especially given the tendencies of the way this team operates and we know that they're just not gonna target their running Backs that much out of the backfield I think one thing to keep in mind with Latavius too is that this this rotation is still evolving Because the running game has not been very good outside of Lamar for this team. That's not usual for them So I think they're gonna keep on trying things see what works I'd expect Levy on bell to get a crack at at some point. It's still it's still evolving and maybe we should keep that Mindful tape is it's not set in stone by any means It's not to John is streaming quarterbacks because Ryan Tannehill has lost everyone Would you use Daniel Jones in the interim or Derek Carr in that time? So Danny Danny Dimes gets Dallas this week, right Derek Carr. Who's Vegas getting in? Look at the Bears the Bears, that's right You know, I think Danny Dimes is probably the play of those two Ryan Tannehill though if he gets even one of the guys back Going up against Jacksonville this week. I think is in a is in a pretty good spot Just given that Tennessee's defense has not been very strong whatsoever I think that Jacksonville is a team that could still move the ball against Tennessee As we saw the jet I mean the jets were able to move the ball against Tennessee when you give the Jets offense context the fact that they Haven't been able to do that Really this season So if Tannehill gets one or both of those weapons back, I'm not totally optimistic just because of the way that You know those injuries linger slash The way they've kind of utilized Julio Jones this year how he's not been like this like clear clear full-time player and stuff I mean, you just have to wait and see So I try to still keep Tannehill rostered because of that because he does have a good matchup this week But I think I want to go Daniel Jones over Derek Carr Daniel Jones is playing well like I'm not a big Daniel Jones guy, but he's playing well I mean the way he played without shepherd and slate in this past week was good. So I'm uh, I'm coming around slowly He's earning the Danny Dimes nickname. So that's how far we come here Dr. Joseph talking about Tyler Lockett. Obviously he's banged up a couple down games But the production for Lockett the first two weeks was sickly So what's your level of concern on Tyler Lockett right now given a couple of down games I've seen a lot of takes out there of It's gone from victory lapping Tyler Lockett to then now a lot of people saying Oh, I thought Tyler lock. I thought inconsistency didn't matter and then it wasn't no I mean, it's a thing inconsistency is a thing It's just that we overrate what inconsistency means for our fantasy teams, right? So no one no one should be debating what like if you look at Tyler Lockett's history And you do some calculations using like the coefficient of of correlation or variation or something You can see that Tyler Lockett is indeed a an inconsistent fantasy asset But the argument is that it doesn't really matter because you're getting spiked weeks And those are just as important as you know a middle of the road kind of performance So with Tyler Lockett the other thing too is if you look back at his splits last year and really throughout his recent career His splits have been worse when he's been injured Um, and I you know, there's some guys where injuries just matter a little bit more than others And I wouldn't be surprised if that's playing somewhat of a role here With Tyler Lockett. So I mean is he a sell? No, I don't think he's I just don't think that you can sell him You know just given how he's performed over the last couple of weeks But is he a buy probably not, you know because of the injury and because He has performed this way, but he's fine. I mean like he's still living up to adp expectation He's still doing you know, he's still relatively fine. I wouldn't be so overly concerned about these two Fairly mediocre performances. Yeah, I mean still had five targets the past week Still had a deep target there and that was a hyper positive script They've just had weird situations where they haven't gotten an alignment where They had a situation where they actually had to throw the entire game and they were in the right script So I think that like it's been a weird year for Seattle I think the dk neck app is about to explode Um, and this might not be the week for lock given the way they're using Jalen Ramsey, but overall I think It could get better especially because they have kind of an extended buy after this thursday game The other thing with Tyler Lockett is like, yes, he's going to live and die by the deep ball more than other wide receivers will And the first two weeks of the season he was Out of control effective on deep ball on deep passes I mean it was just out He had like 250 yards and three touchdowns on 15 plus area throws through the first two weeks of the season That's not going to maintain. It's not going to keep up But then we can't assume that that's never going to happen again Right. So there's a balance here, right? Like it like we shouldn't expect the first two weeks We shouldn't expect the last two weeks. There's something more middle of the row with Tyler Lockett Absolutely. Let's go to Chris here on youtube. What do you think of Khalil Herbert? Herbert came in After the david mcgummery injury kind of ambiguous backfield to an extent Um, what what do you thoughts on Khalil Herbert? I'm assuming this is a redraft here Yeah, I mean, I don't mind him as a dart for sure You know, I I'm looking at my prospect model a little bit right now and seeing him Uh, within the three main production metrics that I look at and the one that's the most predictive is is best season yards per team play for running max And he was pretty pretty decently above average within that statistic, which is good Uh draft capital wasn't super super strong, but you know, he has the right bmi He has the right body type to be a potential workhorse in the league Um, do I think that he's going to step in and see Uh, I think he's going to play a damien williams type role when damien williams is going to play the david mcgummery type role That's that's how I think this is going to really kind of pan out and work out So really, you know at this point, I think Herbert You know, if you have the space he's the right kind of like end of bench stash to just have in case You know, sort of like rois freeman last week where where like maybe something happened You know, maybe they split the backfield more than we think or maybe rois freeman's just the guy instead of chuba hubbard But we all know that the likely scenario is that it's going to be chuba hubbard We likely know that the the scenario is going to be damien harris being the 1a and the the guy that you want in this Offense, so, you know, if you have the space go ahead and pick him up I don't think he's a bad prospect. I draft him in a decent amount of rookie drafts this year Um, but yeah, I you know, if you have the space go ahead and do it I think the bears are shown to say like damien williams, which does matter here B doves, would you pick up shepard shinalt or rugs? So shepard is still banged up, but he's had a good role when he's been healthy shinalt's got a deep ball actually two deep football targets in week number four after the dj shark injury Henry rugs getting deep balls too. So these aren't bad options. Probably all rostribal What would you think about these three guys? It's interesting, uh, I you know the the name that's sticking out to me as the most interesting is leviska shinalt because of the dj shark injury and Not knowing if they're going to change his role a little bit like you said, you know, he saw more air yards this past week It's good to see him get down the field And he look like the crazy thing is that he did that in college Like leviska shinalt was able to do those kinds of things in college They just haven't utilized in that way in the nfl because he has a really good yards after the catchability I think the safest option here if you remove injury is sterling shepherd Because I think he's probably going to maintain like a 20 to 25 target share in his offense Like I said, he plays a slot like he's sterling shepherd is so good and so underrated So if he's healthy and you know, if you can if you don't need immediate production because You know, I don't know if he's going to play this week or not If you don't need immediate production, then I would say stash shepherd But if you do need immediate production, I might I might risk it with leviska shinalt Plus they get a good matchup this week against tennessee So I I think it might be a little bit interesting to to go that route as opposed to the Henry rugs route Yeah, they're all rosteble But I think that that's probably the right way to order and view things for sure. Let's talk to rissan I think any of the waiver wire quarterbacks have quarterback one sustainability the rest of the way He's thinking about or they're thinking about stashing sand darnold darnold. Is he still the leak leader in touchdowns? He might be anyway What do you think about the waiver wire guys that you've talked about so far? Do you think any of them are guys who could at the upside to be holdable and startable the rest of the way? Yeah, I mean two of them would probably I mean trailance could you know if things break his way It would not be shocking if if trailance is a qb1 from here on out and then uh, yeah, sam darnold being the other one He you know, there's there's a lot of chatter about the rushing touchdown sustainability, which is not sustainable He has five rushing touchdowns in four games. He's not going to finish the season You know, he likely is not going to finish the season with double 25 rushing touchdowns I don't know you never know Exactly. So like like it's it's it's it's not going to happen But here's the thing in the way that we should view those kinds of statistics is that I think a lot of people say oh regression You know, he's not going to be very good moving forward Well, when a player scores a rushing touchdown that means he's not throwing for a touchdown So if you look at sam darnold's numbers, he has a 3.4 percent touchdown rate right now, which is very very low That's a that's a I mean he given his weapons and situations and he should probably be closer to five percent And so, you know, if if those rushing touchdowns do disappear, which they likely will Sure, some of them are going to go to the running backs, whatever But he's also going to throw for more touchdowns And I know that that's not as attractive in fantasy because it's four points versus six points But he's still going to be fine. He's still going to be good He's going to regress favorably in the passing touchdown department I think darnold is a fairly legit option in fantasy moving forward Is he going to be a top five option? Probably not Is he going to be like a top 12 to 15 or even higher like a little bit higher? Yeah, I think that that's very viable given the weapons that are there Yeah, he's played well and like that matters a lot So I think with those weapons that they've got I think that he's definitely worth a shot at least if nothing else Let's talk to pat Should we sell high and jamar chase? Chase has been very good But to higgins may be coming back at some points Would you sell high now on chase or just keep that production and keep riding? Sure. I mean you can I I just you know, I don't know What the return necessarily would look like for jamar chase right now? I think the time to sell him might have been last week, you know While he was riding those those consecutive games with touchdowns Um, but I think that the way we should view chase is probably a wide receiver too from here on out You know, I I the the bangles are not throwing as much as we thought that they would Um, but jo burrow looks very very good. Um, you know, and and the the offense in general is has performed fairly well there's you know the the downside or the Um, you know, you might not see as much or as hefty of a target share when t higgins comes back But you know at the same time, they don't really utilize their tight ends that much They're not utilizing joe mixing that much out of the backfielder as much as we would want Um, and so there's room for all three of those guys to to eat and see a decent share And not only that keep my tyler boyd has seen An inflated target share over the last few weeks Like he was a borderline sell for me in the 15 transactions column this week because he's had favorable match up Matchups against chicago and pittsburgh who aren't good against the slot And then t higgins gets hurt. So obviously he's going to see more work So i'm more worried about tyler boyd than I would be jamar chase right now I think jamar chase is I mean he's a 99th percentile prospect of my model. He's a beast He's good He's at least going to be a wide receiver two from here on out And I don't think that you could sell him as a true wide receiver one and get like a staphon digs or something in return And it's important to know too in the first two games with t higgins healthy jamar chase had 20 percent of the overall targets and 71 percent of the deep targets So they were going deep to him still it was uh three and two it was a small sample But hey, you know, they were still throwing it to t higgins or to jamar chase plenty. So t higgins being back will not Kill jamar chase. Let's talk to gerard How much are you laying out there in terms of free agent budget for samaj p ryan? My broken brain thought le michael for a second then later realized that's not him So samaj p ryan with the with the joe mix and injury. Are you actually laying down? Free agent budget for samaj p ryan and would you take a look at alex collins? I mean you can take a look at them. It's it's really, you know, I would say more of a handcuff situation for for collins, but um with p ryan It just comes down to whether or not joe mixon is going to play this week Like I said, you know doctors are saying Uh that it sounds like mixon is more week to week, but zack taylor thinks it's more day to day I would say count on joe mixon missing this week And as a result of that maybe lay five percent of your budget on p ryan With collins, I think it's more so he kills chris karson than he actually has. Yeah, exactly I think that's the bigger thing there. Uh, jeffette is looking to trade darin waller for diante johnson daryl henderson I would say yes. Yeah, let's do this. Kelsey. Let's go do it. Go do it right now. Go Okay, let's go to john is max williams in a similar situation to dawson knocks Ted in a high powered offense warranty rostering williams has actually shown some yardage upside The past couple of weeks he's had I think like 90 and then something in the like 60s in this past week So what do you thought some max williams right now? We're seeing a little bit more consistency in target share and it's not like it like dawson knocks is not seeing this like insane target share But he's seeing like consistently a 10 plus share each week And he's also seeing a little bit more work in the red zone and close to the end zone and in the end zone He has end zone targets as well I mean, he's like let's just call it max williams is a diet dawson knocks. That's probably the best way to look at Yeah, probably uh, let's talk to brad uh better add damian williams or jd mckissick so mckissick probably has like Rest of season appeal whereas williams may be muted more like four or five weeks That's enough to tilt the ceo's in favor of mckissick there. Are you still going williams? I'm still going williams here. You're gonna need a certain game script for mckissick or or obviously An Antonio gives an injury Okay, um, let's go down here to gerard. How worried should it be about alan robinson? Can you rebound or is it just situation where? Things are pretty gross at this point. It's gross. It's really gross I mean, he's at least he has a 24 target share But darnell mooney has better peripherals and better production so far this year I just you know, I do think that if you want to look at it from a half glass full perspective The bears are going to start throwing there for their touchdowns more than running because they have a really really low Pastor rush touchdown ratio that generally regresses But i'm just not optimistic in the bears offense in general their defense is playing fine So they can probably be a fairly conservative offense. Um, and yeah, I mean, that's just that's where we're at I just I think we're gonna get like wide receiver Three at best numbers from alan robinson this year. Yeah, it's uh, pretty rough for sure. I'll talk to terry Um, should you drop taylor heineke or matt ryan for trail lance this week? Why not drop both? um But I would you drop one of those guys for trail lance? I'd assume. Yeah, I'd drop either of them. Yeah I would drop matt ryan for nothing at this point And then which side end do you want between dalton schultz and dos and knocks dalton schultz Massive target share without michael gallop. Uh, what are your thoughts here? Yeah, uh dalton schultz is is the dude right now I think that even when gallop is back schultz is probably a tight end one in fantasy. Um, It's awesome, you know, his target shares have been massive the last couple of weeks And the the key the key thing this past week is that it was the first week that we saw a real clear separation and routes run between Blake jarwin and dalton schultz and you know over the first three weeks this season We saw week three dalton schultz have a nice have a better target share than than Blake jarwin But they were running similar routes still like they were still on the field and getting similar usage from that perspective This past week. We finally saw dalton schultz run You know, basically more than more than double the amount of routes is Blake jarwin Which tells me that dalus is finally like, okay He's the better tight end. We need to get him the ball And they're doing so efficiently, which is great. Yeah, uh, two more quick here grim fan. Should I pick up john ross? john ross of the long touchdown I'm gonna try to sell it. Nope. All right jackie moon, uh, would you drop brian edwards? Right now from the raiders. Sure. Yeah, I think so. I would rather have like a hunter ren fro on that team than edwards Alrighty that is gonna do it for this waiver wire q&a heading into week number five should be a fun one I think some good options for this week as well JJ big.
