Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Cardinals Quarterback Situation & Monday Night Football Recap
(04:23 – 08:39)
- Andy returns to hosting, demanding a Cardinals win as his condition (“I said I wasn't going to come back here and host the show again unless my Cardinals got a W on Monday Night Football.” – Andy, 03:55).
- Strong praise for Jacoby Brissette at QB:
- “Unquestionably, Jacoby Brissette’s better for this offense… these backups come in there with a veteran gunslinger mentality and just execute an offense.” (Andy, 04:25–05:21)
- Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride flourish with Brissette (“McBride has scored four times for fantasy with Jacoby Brissette in three games.” – Andy, 05:21)
- Debate whether Kyler Murray truly is set to return as starter, as coach claims (“I don't believe it. I don't believe you.” – Andy, 06:09)
- Key performance notes:
- Marvin Harrison Jr.: Career-high in receptions; 10 targets.
- The Cowboys’ defensive struggles against the Cardinals highlighted; Dallas trades for a linebacker from Cincinnati, with skepticism about the impact.
2. NFL News & Injury Updates
(08:58 – 16:56)
- Packers officially announce TE Tucker Kraft out for the year (09:50).
- Discussion on the impact for Jordan Love and the Packers’ offensive upside.
- Updates on Matthew Golden (day-to-day), Jaden Reed (getting healthier, “What is close? That’s what he said.” – Andy, 10:50), and Amari Hampton (won’t return until after Week 12; could miss a month).
- Chargers’ O-line issues after losing Joe Alt for the season, impacting Justin Herbert.
- Puka Nacua (ribs): Optimism for playing, scan pending.
- Bengals’ RB room: Smaji Perine week-to-week, Zach Taylor unhappy with Chase Brown’s postgame comments (“He was very unhappy with it and it won't happen again.” – Jason, 13:32)
- Lions, Raiders, and Giants: Coaching pressers, questionable QB situations, receiver injuries, and more.
3. Week 10 Waiver Wire – Running Back Options (A Brutal Week)
(19:13 – 24:36)
- Quote: “This is a real bad week for waiver wire running backs.” – Mike, 19:21
- No must-starts available—emphasis on “insurance”/contingency adds, not plug-and-play starters.
- Top Adds:
- Kyle Manungai: If still available, a strong add despite likely being rostered in competitive leagues.
- Amari DiMarcado: The most relevant RB for Arizona if Trey Benson remains out (21:09). Deep-league flier only due to uncertainty.
- Terrell Jennings, Devin Singletary, and potentially Dylan Sampson as speculative backups/insurance options.
- Advice: Look for RBs with the best chance at a goal-line touchdown, or those likely to benefit if a starter gets hurt.
4. Wide Receiver Waiver Options (A Stronger Week)
(29:33 – 38:02)
- Jaden Reed: If stashed on wires due to injury, still worth picking up for upside at season’s end.
- Parker Washington: Still “important to this coaching staff into this offense…follow those targets.” – Mike, 31:32. Jacoby Meyers’ addition shouldn’t hurt immediate value.
- Alec Pierce: Mike’s top add at WR this week.
- “My number one wide receiver pickup this week.” – Mike, 32:14
- Role clarity, high target share, and Daniel Jones’ fit.
- Darius Slayton: “A must add on rosters…He is seemingly the number one target, certainly when it comes to valuable targets.” – Jason, 33:21
- Other Notables:
- Tory Horton: Rookie with two-TD game, could be post-bye breakout if Cooper Kupp remains sidelined.
- Tez Johnson, Troy Franklin (especially out-targeting Sutton), Pat Bryant, Kyle Williams: Deep-stash rookies with possible second-half upside.
5. Tight End Streamers & Pickups
(41:18 – 47:38)
- Colston Loveland: Consensus top pickup at TE this week after a strong, highlight-worthy performance.
- Highlight Moment: Dog/Cat debate after Loveland’s broken tackles TD; “There are plays that can transform a person from a cat to a dog.” – Andy, 41:27
- Other names:
- Harold Fannin Jr.: Still worth adding, especially as a red-zone threat.
- Theo Johnson: Big-body target, will have touchdown opportunities rest of the season.
- Cade Otton: Viable floor option, especially in PPR.
6. Defensive Streamers & Streaming Quarterbacks
(47:38—53:25)
- Defenses:
- Cleveland Browns are clear top pick for week against the Jets (“Dear goodness. I held them through the bye for this reason.” – Andy, 47:54)
- Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers both suggested; Panthers an ultra-deep play.
- Quarterback Streamers:
- Jackson Dart: Jason’s top streamer, QB3 in total points since becoming starter (“This is the game to play him.” – Jason, 49:59)
- Michael Penix: Mike’s recommendation, plus can leverage good matchup vs. Indianapolis; “He had three touchdowns last week.” – Andy, 51:08
- Marcus Mariota: Andy’s deep-league fallback—rushing floor, Lions matchup.
7. Breaking Trade News: Jacoby Myers Traded
(25:50 – 26:32)
- Headline: “The Raiders are trading wide receiver Jacoby Myers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a fourth and sixth round pick.” – Andy, 25:57
- Fantasy Impact:
- Jacksonville: Immediate opportunity for targets if Brian Thomas misses time (potential high ankle sprain).
- Vegas receivers: Trey Tucker becomes more interesting but caution urged (“He plays every snap. He already was playing every snap…Jacoby Myers was not making a huge impact.” – Andy, 26:51).
- “Do not play any of them this week…You watch from the sideline.” – Andy, 27:41
Memorable Quotes & Moments

- “If you need someone to start, my advice is good luck.” – Jason, 19:25
