a pretty crazy week six of fantasy football I'm going to be going over my running back winners and losers because we went over the quarterbacks and wide receivers last week going to save the tight ends for the patreon um so if you want to check out the patre uh the tight end winners and losers you can do that over there and then we're going to also be going over after the running back winners and losers the injury report and then finally the waiver report guys that I like uh on the waiver that I think you guys should grab um if you are desperate we're mainly going to be talking like 10 to 12 teams fantasy uh leagues for the waiver report but without further Ado let's go ahead and get into my running back winners sneak peek Joe Mixon will end up in the running back loser category absolutely a terrible week there from Joe Mixon but talking about Winners positivity uh uplifting Vibes all that stuff Raheem moster another great game uh from Raheem the Dream moster we saw uh him put up a 34o fantasy perform performance here in week six with Devon a being out of the way it looks like Raheem moer has a good path at least for the next couple of weeks while Devon a continues to sit out to be that running back one uh that he has pretty much been all season he's currently sitting at running back two in all of fantasy football right now and a 34-point performance will always add to um you know just a great fantasy season that he's already had so far had another crazy three touchdown performance uh already had what no only two games where he's had three plus touchdowns but in one game he had four touchdowns so he's really balling he had a crazy hurdle uh right there um you know right next to the end zone almost got into the End Zone after literally jumping over another human on the defense definitely crazy um you know Raheem definitely more of a speed back uh that's kind of like his profile like his MO is being really Speedy but he's also been really balanced and and you know showing that agility strength uh yards after contact that he's getting uh you know right now while he's just being that running back one he also got 20 touches in this game so I'm always saying uh 20 plus touches definitely um qualifies an as an elite back in a you know number one option 20 plus touches 15 is like that mid Elite hopefully you can get a running back too that's like 15 touches and then your running back one is like more of a 20 18 to 20 type touches type of a guy but love R he moster really think he's a Do-it all type player and moving forward until Devon hen comes back and is part of the squad going to have him as a running back one we'll see what happens when the rookie comes back though let's talk Bree Hall Bree Hall very solid running back as well he's he's getting into that category of being like a running back one um and another guy who just gets crazy yards after contact very fast very elusive uh you know agile type type of running back I loved him so much last year coming out of where did he go to college I'm not even sure I know eek but Matthew Barry one of my favorite fantasy football analysts probably my favorite uh was talking about how when Bree Hall gets 15 plus touches in a game he's averaging 22 fantasy points at the moment so he's a volume type of player he's a volume shooter in basketball terms and I got one word for this guy I think he's an elite running back I know that's two words um but I really do think this guy should be considered an elite running back I would be completely cool with you guys playing him as a running back one with his top tier explosion he's got a lot of prowess out of the back field and uh you know he was going up against a pretty tough front there with the Philadelphia Eagles with guys like uh you know Jordan Davis who was a top pick in his draft and then Hassan reick who's another pass rusher that I absolutely love and he was running right through these guys and catching a ton of passes he had 12 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown as well as five receptions for 54 yards uh in that game so like 90 yards from scrimmage definitely going to get it done um on his side of things you know I I just like when he's touching the ball when he is getting that volume it feels like he's always having a chance to make a big play and he was definitely doing that in this last matchup in week six going to classify him as a winner got Alvin Kamar thought this picture was really funny uh when he's sitting here talking to jamus Winston it looks like he's completely uninterested and it had the whole Twitter world on fire everybody had an opinion about it but apparently he was just talking about business is what Alvin Kamar said in his reply uh there's absolutely no bad blood between jamus Winston and Alvin Kamar apparently but as far as Alvin kamara's fantasy performance and how he's been playing so far this year uh after his suspension for you know fighting people in Las Vegas he has been going crazy honestly already sitting as running back 23 after missing the first three weeks of the season and in his four five six uh weeks 21 fantasy points 18 fantasy points 17 fantasy points so just keeping up that running back one uh type of momentum he played 66 of the 79 snaps so definitely the Lion Share of the snaps here for this Saints Squad and if you guys drafted him I'm sure were able to get him a little later it looks like it was a great investment definitely does um you know with the with these type of stats we do have to keep an eye on Jamal Williams who's apparently going to be back here on Tuesday activated from the IR and I'm sure they're going to want him um you know to be at least getting some touches in this offense they brought him in they paid him and I'm always telling you guys to follow the money so I think Jamal Williams will have some type of role so maybe uh Alvin Kamar will be set back a little bit but I definitely like what I'm seeing from him he's got a great great offense around him with one of the most electric receivers in the league Chris olave Michael Thomas is you know coming back so they got to worry about all of their guys they can't just focus their eyes on Alan Kamar uh he's really playing like that running back one right now and also his receptions are crazy too he had a game with 13 receptions and then this week he had seven receptions out of the back field so in those PPR leagues he is an absolute PPR nightmare um going to classify Alvin Kamar as a running back one here in in week six then we got to talk about Kenneth Walker man Kenneth Walker is a guy that I really like and as I'm talking about running backs guys that I'm always targeting are going to be those secondy Year guys that you know got their experience in in year one and you know witnessed the NFL contact witnessed what you know the speed of the league you know the speed of the league is going to be and then going into that uh Running Back 2 Season especially if they had a solid rookie season I really like targeting these guys and Ken Walker fits that mold perfectly he's just kind of like too strong too fast uh too powerful and you know too strong too fast too focused as Shan Ali would say uh when he's out there on the field he's a touchdown Hunter six touchdowns in five games played I know it's week six but the Seattle Seahawks already had their buy and Ken wer averaging 18 fantasy points already this season uh sitting as running back 10 and someone that I'm cool as starting as your running back one if you're able to have him as your running back two I think he might be the most solid running back two in the entire league right now he's even doing it through the air which at Michigan State he really never did um you know instead of using Zack shanet as the receiving back they're kind of starting to use him he's got multiple games with three plus receptions already this season um and he's pretty much a lock to get you know 20 touches per game so that's right in that Elite level he did have have 22 touches here in week six last week he had 18 20 uh actually 21 here in week three and then 19 so he's always sitting at that 20 touch Mark that is considered Elite he's a home run hitter and absolutely Kenneth Walker would be the first guy right now just as it sits in week six that I am looking to trade for um you know he gets the volume he's a home run hitter and he's hunting for a touchdown every single chance he can get so we actually we absolutely love Kenneth Walker finally the last guy here in my running back winners that I'm going to talk about is RA Andre Stevenson finally did something had had a good uh you know not good not great week six uh after you know really not performing these last couple weeks obviously the Patriots offense has been terrible they didn't even score touchdowns in weeks four and five so that is a lot of the reason for him not performing to the standards that you know he set for himself I'm sure and uh We've set for him as fantasy managers weeks one and two he was doing good 15 points week one then 15 points week two fell off weeks three through five here with seven points six points and then 2.4 points in that 3-we stretch finally got back to a good number here at 18 fantasy points in week six had 10 carries 10 carries for 46 yards and a touchdown also added in five receptions for 24 yards um I was watching like his his recap and everything that was happening in that game and you know I I I guess I like what I saw from rander Stevenson but he didn't really like put up any crazy big plays uh the touchdown was like from two yards out and he just had caught a lot of balls a lot of checkdowns that Mack didn't see anybody open you know deeper in the field so he just checked it right down to rander Stevenson and that's really always what he's been good at he's always been that receiving back uh more than anything so another PPR nightmare kind of similar to Alvin Kamar but probably a tier down if I put Alvin at a tier one receiving back I might put rander at a tier two just given his offensive situation and how everything's playing out over there but if there was like a Madden ability for checkdown artist I would definitely give that to rre Stevenson cuz he is you know always a check down option had a ton of catches last year and I'm hoping that he can continue to do that be that check down option for M Jones and this really bad offense this year guys when I come back let's talk running back losers uh sorry this is late we're usually going live at 700 p.m. but like I said just a little bit of technical difficulty so bear with me for how we doing ladies and gentlemen we are back let's go ahead and talk about my running back losers here um you know I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you guys to go check out the patreon I'll got to do that uh link is in the description I'm doing two extra segments every single day working hard for y'all so make sure you check it out if you want to drop a tip you can do it right there on the little moving thing on the screen but let's talk losers let's talk running back losers from week six definitely got some guys that didn't perform to the standards that we as fantasy managers have set for them and I don't know why I used this picture I didn't even realize that I use this picture truthfully Rashad white is number one but 29 is my favorite number so we'll just keep it up there it's all good Rashad white though in week six coming off a buy we usually like targeting these players off the buy uh thinking that they got their stuff together as a team in their bye then Rashad white does not do that here in week six he only had seven carries for 26 yards on the ground and then added in three receptions for 12 yards through the air um I'm just going to preface with saying I still want you guys to believe in Rashad white I still think that he is a very solid running back very elusive very Shifty and also very powerful he's very good at catching the ball too so he has a lot of layers and uh you know parts of his game that I think fantasy man just could utilize really this game was like kind of a wash because they were down the whole time against the Detroit Lions here Baker had to throw the ball 37 times in this game and apparently the Buccaneers offense their offensive line are ranked 28th in run block rating by PFF so that's just like a whole bad situation he had been getting a ton of carries in a ton of touches he was really around that like 20 you know 18 to 20 Mark that we consider Elite guy guys to be in um you know like week one 19 touches week 2 22 touches then 17 then 18 and then in this game he only got 10 mainly because they were down so much probably looking for their were down the field Playmakers like Mike Mike Evans Chris Godwin we expect him to do more I'm actually going to put in some trade requests here for uh Ken Walker this week and then also Rashad white just because those are guys that I think are like byy lows right now more Rashad white obviously Ken Walker has been hooping and playing really well but definitely think he would be a worthy trade Target for a lot of your guys' teams let's next talk about another loser for week six here and I'm going with jalo mlin kind of the running back two for the Denver Broncos and personally I think he's much better just eye test wise than javante Williams even though javante was obviously drafted really high and you know I I'm I think they at least paid him a solid rookie contract so uh they've made a worthy investment in him and not so much in Jal mlen I think he was undrafted or like drafted really really late and just you know came in late and uh made a a roster spot which is cool uh I really like him think he has a ton of burst he did actually play more snaps here in week six then Devonte Williams with 21 out of the 52 snaps and Devonte only played 18 of those 52 snaps but Jalil only got seven carries whereas Devonte Williams got 10 carries in this game not a great sign to see his workload kind of declining he actually has not even reached a 10 carry game so far this season in Jalil McLaughlin but you know dvon Williams is still working back from that that hip flexor issue so I imagine once he gets to that full speed he'll be getting the full workload and Jalil will kind of just be that third down back type of guy so I think for moving forward from right now jalo is just going to be a a bench type of player I think it's okay to still have him on your roster if he ever gets activated or if you know Lord willingness doesn't happen but Javonte Williams hit flexer gets you know reinjured or something like that I think he is you know a very talented guy and if he had that you know 20 touches per game type of mentality from his coaches then I can see him being great but for right now going to have to stick him on the bench and stick him in the losers list for uh this week six going into week s then we got to talk about this situation this is my least favorite situation in the entire league uh me and Arthur Smith coach of the Atlanta Falcons have a problem officially we we officially are beefing and there's a personal Vendetta there because he's got one of the most talented running backs I've ever seen generationally I think in the last 10 years uh I don't know if I've seen a more talented running back than bejan Robinson I think bejon is more talented than um Sequon Barkley coming out and pretty much every other running back candidate way more talented than Zeke and and college and going into his first year it's not even close and they're not even giving beon a full workload it's it's really really annoying they got Tyler alir who's out here you know stealing carry after carry this week it was 13 carries for Tyler alir stolen away from bejan Robinson and Tyler air never really does anything with his carries he had that really good week one we all remember that he had 15 carries 75 yards and two touchdowns in that game actually finished with 18 total touches in week one um with the two touchdowns so obviously they were believing in him a lot then came back 16 touches the next game they were kind of dialing him back in weeks three and four with uh nine touches and eight touches but then he comes back and is getting the 17 and 13 carry games it just doesn't really make sense to me why they're messing with bejon Robinson's flow he's out there he needs to get into a rhythm and you know really get into a rhythm to shake these linebackers shake these safeties and take one to the crib we haven't even seen one like 50 60 yard bejan Robinson play this year because Tyler air is messing up messing up his style cramping his flow and you know it's honestly Arthur Smith's fault completely I don't know why they want to limit him um apparently I was looking into it and there were saying that they're really playing the long game with bejon Robinson obviously they made an investment in him whatever and you know they're more liking uh the longevity route of him but it's weird even into the fourth quarter when it's winning time I'm still some you know for some reason seeing Tyler aler out there getting a ton of carries and getting all this work when you know bejan Robinson is literally one of the most talented running backs we've seen in the past 10 to 25 years so I'm not liking that uh very mad at Arthur Smith personally and that whole situation is really bad and I'm going to put bejon and Tyler air as both losers for week six then we got to talk about cam Acres uh you know he looks so weird in a Vikings uniform we don't even know who this guy is anymore he pretty much has done nothing here for this Viking Squad and I have to imagine it's because he's not up to date with everything that's going on in the offense at this point they would rather go with Alexander Madison someone who is much less talented in my opinion and just you know much less apt to play that starting running back position than cam Acres cam only played nine of the 57 snaps that they had here in week six where they were honestly struggling on offense and struggling in their run game uh it was a whole bad situation their offense really couldn't get moving Kurt Cousins looked really bad and they kind of look lost out there without Justin Jefferson so we'll see how that continues to develop somehow they were able to pull out this win uh mostly because the Bears had to go with with the backup quarterback after Justin Fields got hurt but really weird cam Acres much more talented than Alexander Madison I assume uh or at least in my own opinion that's what I think and uh I I can't imagine why they're not playing him if he is up to date on the offense that's the only reason I can see why you wouldn't play uh CMR then finally I told y'all I got to tell you again obviously that Joe Mixon is going to be considered a loser here in week six really like Joe Mixon still I think that he is a decent guy as a you know a running back two candidate kind of um you know you're just getting a good Buy Low here on Joe Mixon especially he's going into a buy if you trade for a guy on a buy people are just more likely um to accept that because of the win now mentality of fantasy football everybody wants to win right now and it makes a lot of sense but Joe Mixon uh struggled a bit this week he is more of that like uh you know 18 to 20 touches type Guy usually that's what we see from Joe Mixon and we saw 15 touches here in the Seattle Seahawks game he had 12 carries for 38 yards and then also added in three receptions for 24 yards only nine fantasy points so you know nothing special here from Joe Mixon he only has one touchdown all season I think in this buy it's just a prime Buy Low here for Joe Mixon think that once this offense starts to heat up they're actually going to play the San Francisco 49ers here in week eight so if it's ever time to get serious in their bye it's definitely right now uh Joe burrow Joe Mixon and the guys but the problem has really been their offensive line they've been struggling bad uh just just really bad they can't protect Joe burrow and then they're not doing a good job blocking for Joe Mixon and opening up holes they're currently 29th ranked in PFF run efficiency so I don't know I still think Joe Mixon is one of the most talented running backs in the game uh at the moment he has Elite burst and we've seen this year that he still uh you know has continued to show that Elite burst so I I do believe in him and I want you guys to buy low on Joe Mixon guys when I come back let's talk the injury report we'll do that real quick and then we'll get into my waiver report for uh the last segment so make sure you stay all the way through h e [Music] right for what's good everybody hope everybody's doing well here on this what Tuesday Tuesday night yes ma'am um you know gsmc podcast usually going live here at 7:00 p.m. we had some technical difficulties today so we are going live a little bit later but today let's go over this injury report here in segment three after we're going to go into the waiver report where I'm giving you guys in like 10 to 12 team fantasy leagues that I'm liking that I think uh are reasonable to pick up this week I know a lot of people's teams are going through injuries so I'm here to tell you who the main people are that you should be uh targeting to pick up here in segment four but we got to start with the injury report so we are up to date we know what's going on uh and let's start here right here with James Connor uh obviously James Connor last week got put on the injury reserve he was uh on there with the knee injury and his backups Keon Ingram and Amari de Marcado were going to be the people to come through for him um yeah but Amar marado really got no time this week we actually saw Keon Ingram who came in to the game with a neck injury he took the line chair of the carries which is extremely sad for Amari diarado owners um we'll have to keep following that situation Kyler Murray is still out and he's still on the physically unable to perform list but apparently he will be back at some point hopefully uh you know on September 30th which was 17 days ago they were saying that he's weeks away so there hasn't been another update but definitely want to keep eyes on Kyler Murray he's the future of that Cardinals franchise for sure we got yep we got Josh Allen Josh Allen currently dealing with the shoulder injuries considered day-to-day at the moment uh that's that's what head coach sha mcdermit said so we'll definitely keep an eye on Josh Allen but I know that he's a tough strong kid and he doesn't really want to miss any games so I would expect him to be playing here in this next week dalon concade got a concussion in this last game so he's going to have to go through concussion protocol keep an eye on that my sanders is currently listed as out with no designation here on the ESPN site so that's kind of interesting um you know he's a guy that's playing running back to for a lot of people also ran Johnson is listed as questionable but we're expecting him to play apparently this week uh He's listed on you know a lot of the top sites as someone who should be picked up in the 10 to 12 team range and someone who could have a good game looking for him to get the volume here in week seven but he is listed as questionable right now Justin Fields obviously he's my starting quarterback I got a I got a a roster a fantasy r roster where I have Justin fields and Anthony Richardson both as my my quarterbacks I drafted both of them and now both of them are out so I'm probably looking to go get Sam how uh we'll talk about that in my waiver report but um yeah Justin Field's doubtful here for week seven and we'll see how that continues into the rest of the season Deshawn Watson had that shoulder contusion and apparently he's going to be coming back He's listed as questionable right now so we'll see what continues to happen but I know that he almost played there in week six so I am expecting him more here for week seven moving forward then we got samj perine who played a little bit here in that Thursday night game that they had against the Kansas City Chiefs and um he sustained a leg SL knee injury in this one so he's questionable at the moment know a lot of people are uh using him as their Flex options David Montgomery going to miss a little bit bit of time with the ribs so definitely not going to play this week we'll see how that continues uh also jir Gibbs has a hamstring injury still in listed as questionable apparently he's trending towards playing Sunday against the Ravens so that's good news for jir Gibbs owners maybe we'll get a finally a day where jir Gibbs gets a full workload I know a lot of people are waiting for that and he hasn't even scored his first touchdown yet which is crazy then we got Aaron Jones still listed as questionable here I know he's got that hamstring injury that he's been dealing with and there's really no uh notable comments or updates that we've seen uh just that he hasn't played in multiple weeks after popping out in week one we got tank Dell out uh with no designation that I'm seeing here on ESPN but he's not going to play here in week seven uh Anthony Richardson like I was just talking about probably done for the season with the shoulder injury apparently it was like a sprained AC joint originally I thought that was just what like Derek Carr had had that he came back in literally one week but they're shutting Anthony Richardson down already um you know early end of the season then we got Z Jones a nonparticipant in Tuesday practice with the knee injury we really hate to see that when uh you know such a hardworking guy Z Jones is really regarded as one of the hardest working players in the league so when you know a really hard worker is not able to play that or not able to practice that's usually a really bad sign you know those type of guys really want to be out there so I wouldn't be expecting a guy like Z Jones to play but we'll monitor that situation Trevor Lawrence uh sustained an injury in the fourth quarter of his game uh here in week six and he was a limited participant in practice but apparently they're very optimistic that he'll play on the short week um the Jacksonville Jaguars will take on the New Orleans Saints here in Thursday Night Football and apparently dou Peterson and the guys are EXP Trevor Lawrence to play so that's a that's definitely a good sign over there then we got Justin Watson who man Justin Watson has been so solid there for the Chiefs he's like the only guy that catches any deep balls anymore from Patrick Mahomes but apparently uh oh no he's not ruled out Justin Watson's not ruled out right now but he dislocated his elbow in week six they're going to play against the Chargers in week seven and I'm sure Pat will be looking to hit these guys deep and they they're going to need their best deep dirt so we'll see if he's is able to come back from a dislocated elbow that's pretty scary then we got Jimmy Garoppolo he's going to undergo some tests with the back injury that he had in the win versus the Patriots they had on Sunday uh hopefully we don't have to see Aden oconnell again cuz last time we did it was very very bad uh but that's definitely a possibility with Jimmy being injured here with the back uh we got Kiren Williams going to miss at least this game here uh with with a sprained ankle in week seven versus the Steelers his backup is also going to miss some time here with the strained PCL or sprained PCL he uh Ronnie Rivers going to miss four to five weeks with that and basically in the next segment I'm going to be talking about how we should look to capitalize on the injuries uh in the Rams backfield so definitely stay with me for the fourth segment but still going through some injuries here juu Smith Shuster is going to be injured he's questionable uh it doesn't really matter he's like the fourth or fifth best pass catcher on the New England Patriots anyway Jamal Williams uh former touchdown leader last year with like 16 or 17 touchdowns he's going to return to action here uh after he had been dealing with the hamstring injury he's going to be returned from the injur reserve here uh today actually and then see if there's any other ones of note Daniel Jones he didn't play here in week six and uh it was because of his neck and that's always scary with neck injuries but apparently he's feeling a lot better and he's trying to be ready for week seven versus uh the Washington commanders anything else super super notable Pat Frou is going to be back uh tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers he was dealing with the hamstring and had missed a couple games so apparently he expects him uh not he Mike Tomlin expects Pat frth to be practicing tomorrow and hopefully that will mean that he can play in the game on Sunday Christian mcaffry obviously he went out of that game that was really scary for mcaffry owners with as much injuries as Christian mcaffry has dealt with over the past couple of Seasons but apparently this is not going to be a long-term injury and the 49ers are saying that he could be available for Monday's game uh after the oblique SL rib injury Debo Samuel is day-to-day right now man I love me some dbo Samuel but he's always so injured too literally can't go on the the injury report without seeing dbo Samuel ever but day to-day with the shoulder so that's interesting Baker Mayfield uh has a left hand contusion so he's questionable Ryan tanah Hill questionable with a right ankle sprain and yeah that's pretty much going to wrap it up so a bunch of injuries make sure you guys follow the injuries and everything that's going on leading up until you know whenever you're going to start your lineup cuz it's very very important when I come back let's talk waiver report and wrap this thing up but uh I'm excited to get into that and talk to you guys about who I'm liking for week seven for for what's going on everybody Austin with the gsmc fantasy football podcast here with you again uh we're going to get the audio only up here soon so anybody who's joining Audio Only I would love you guys to come and watch the Youtube um if you just like the visuals we got some moving things on the screen it's all pretty and I got some grass behind me yeah we're killing it over here at gsmc man if youall want to support the show donate stream elements.com gsmc Sports Network SLP is where you can do that I do two extra segments over on the patreon every single day every single weekday so if you guys want to come check those out I would love to see you guys uh in there but let's go ah and get into this this waiver report and like I said I'm mainly talking about uh 10 to 12 team leagues and everything that's going on with the waivers over there got some guys written down that I'm liking we'll also be kind of exploring the the list and I'll be giving thoughts and opinions on guys that I'm seeing so first guy kind of was talking about him last segment Keon Ingram only rostered in 15% of of ESPN leagues which is pretty crazy um being that he's a starting running back and I think just the news didn't really catch up everybody thought that Amari D Marcado was going to be the guy that was going to be getting the line share of the carries it turned out to be Keon Ingram who they did have listed as their number one running back so he's going to be a guy that if you're desperate at running back desperate in your Flex position somebody who's going to be like that low-end low tier 10 touches uh probably for this week until James Connor is able to come back from his injury uh Keon Ingram decent option you can put him at your running back too if you're real desperate or your Flex if you're just a little bit desperate then we got Josh DS only rostered in 20 7% of ESPN leagues which is crazy because he's technically already worked his way into be you know in his rookie season being the wide receiver too for the Colts this is a very talented Ricky out of North Carolina um I used to watch him all the time love Josh downs and he's been progressing so far throughout this season I'm pretty sure he had a pretty crazy week six and Gardner muu seems to favor Michael Pitman first and then second is going to be Josh DS in that offense so i' like uh rostering him at least playing him in your Flex position uh could be cool he didn't go crazy this week but had a good amount of targets had five receptions 21 yards and a touchdown so obviously the touchdown always going to boost the numbers up but even last week 15 points on six receptions for 97 yards uh two weeks before that eight receptions 57 yards on 12 targets and that was also with Gardner mchu playing so he's going to have Gardner mry for the rest of the season he's going to need some guys to rely on and lean on and I think Josh DS is going to be one of those people so like picking him up I was talking a little bit about Roshan Johnson running back for the Chicago Bears and I really do like his upside too just coming into the season I you know he's a rookie I enjoyed what I saw from him and his college tape now he's in the NFL uh getting his chance because khil Herbert is down and he's on the IR so I'm assuming that rwn should be getting the line share of the carries there I like picking him up also like Kareem hunt Kareem hunt obviously uh very dissimilar to the cam Acres situation over there for Minnesota and you know that whole bad situation where he doesn't know the offense Kareem hunt has played for this team for the last three years so he definitely knows the offense he knows what's going on he knows all the plays and I'm sure the coaches trust him to go out there and execute so he's someone you definitely got to think of obviously he's going to be sitting behind Jerome Ford uh you know for the foreseeable future unless he's somehow able to Edge him out of that job I don't think that's going to be the case but you know maybe someone you can play at your Flex position running back too if you're extra desperate Zack Evans uh we got to get into this Rams Back Field basically so it's really weird with Kiron Williams being out with his ankle and then Ronnie Rivers being out with his PCL injury we're going to have get one second yeah we're going to have Zack Evans first and then Royce Freeman second who's I believe is a former Bronco uh go Broncos let's ride and I think we're we're going to like Zack Evans first he's actually projected the most points from any any Flex position or running back here on my waiver wire they're expecting 11 points out of him this week six he got a little bit of work only four carries for 10 yards but apparently he's going to be the featured back back there for week seven Royce Freeman's going to make a little bit of an appearance to so we don't know who's really going to do the most work but we're thinking it's going to be Zack Evans so if you're desperate at running back for this week or you have a buy don't hate grabbing him up and using him as an option I was telling you guys about Sam how a little bit I had a buy week for Justin Herbert I think that was last week and then I just you know grabbed Sam H how off the waiver wire stuck him right in 26 fantasy points immediately very very happy about that I had have Anthony Richardson and Justin field so I think I'm going to need to go grab grab Sam Hal if at all possible so I would tell you guys to do the same thing uh you know he just gets a ton of volume he throws the ball a lot and he's got Eric benmy as you know the offensive coordinator for his team so you know that they're going to be airing the ball out former Patrick Mahomes uh offensive coordinator then we got Michael Mayor I think this guy might be one of the biggest picks that you could grab off of the waiver wire at the moment um he's big strong and fast he's a rookie and you know just off the eye test I'm really liking what I'm seeing from him if you're desperate at tight end or you have a a bum out there who's not doing the work uh that needs to get done I absolutely don't mind taking a little gamble a little risk on Michael mayy and if he can get the job done for you he was pretty much not featured early in the season at all uh yeah like literally at all and then Green Bay in prime time he had two receptions for 39 yards I'm remembering one specifically on the right side of the field where he was just looking super athletic and fast when he caught that ball and then I wasn't able to watch too much of this game but in the New England Patriots game he had five receptions for 75 yards where Devonte Adams really wasn't doing anything uh Michael Mayer also got six targets that game so you know I'm liking the upside Jimmy garoppo has pretty much always been uh riant on his tight end position to you know help him out uh you know throughout his career he loved George KD he was constantly using George KD much more than Brock P uses George KD um so for all those Reasons I'm I'm high on Michael Mayer he's young you know fast strong tight end like him also have Craig Reynolds and Elijah Mitchell written down here as potential running back options um we don't know the whole situation that's going on with uh you know with how jir Gibbs is going to be used throughout um you know while David Montgomery serves his injury time and he's really not you know Jamir Gibb is really not like a run through the tackles type guy a guy who wants to get beaten up by these big big NFL guys he's more content to you know Rush on the edge and then catch those balls so Detroit Lions might be looking for a guy to fill that David Montgomery role and that would be Craig Reynolds who's up next for the job and then the Elijah Mitchell Jordan Mason situation Elijah Mitchell George Mason situation with possibly Christian mcaffrey May missing may be missing some time uh apparently they're looking for him to suit up but if he does those would be the guys to look for in that 49ers backfield guys that's pretty much going to wrap it up I appreciate y'all if you were tapping in make sure you guys like And subscribe and uh just interact with the channel it all helps um you know if
