00:00But the Saints, man, and no one can stay healthy.
00:06Kendri Miller now, he's the hot name, he's the guy available in, I'd say, what, 7.5 out
00:11of 10 leagues.
00:12Joe, I mean, I know things are bad, but are they this bad?
00:16They're this bad for some of us.
00:17He's ranked in RB24, so he's on that fringe.
00:20He is in half PPR leagues, I think a flex-worthy guy, depending on what your roster looks like.
00:26And again, do I love the matchup?
00:28Absolutely not.
00:29It's not in his way, in his favor.
00:34Certainly not the quarterback play in his favor with Spencer Rattler, too, who's turned
00:37over the ball a lot.
00:39So you don't love it.
00:40You like how he looked last week at home on the carpet, but it's a little bit different
00:43when you're outside in Green Bay.
00:45So is he the best start in the world?
00:47No.
00:48Is he a guy you should be rostering?
00:49Yes.
00:50Playing him this week really is circumstantial.
00:51It has to do with who else is available, how many injuries you've taken.
00:55I'll tell you this much.
00:56If I have MVS, who might be a game-time decision now, tomorrow, or I have Kendra Miller, I'm
01:01very happy I have Kendra Miller to pop in that spot there as a flex, potentially.
01:05So it's come down to that for a lot of teams.
01:07It's been a real tough year for injuries.
01:10I feel like we say that every year, but it feels like every year it gets worse.
01:13And every year the season gets longer, and every year these players get bigger, stronger,
01:16and faster.
01:17And that is just part of the equation now, is having the depth, which is why it's important
01:22in shows like this, that we talk so much and address about depth of roster, and we
01:26try to stay ahead of roster trends, and we've done a really good job in this segment.
01:31From week one all the way to now, like week one, Sunday morning, we gave you Jordan Mason
01:35before that Monday night game, and guess what, that turned out to be one of the best waiver
01:38wire claims of the year.
01:40All right, let's keep the trend going here.
01:43Romeo Dobbs is more of an indictment on the Packers' offense in their season.
01:48He's available in just over half of the leagues.
01:50But let's talk.
01:52Yeah, health has been an issue the last couple of weeks, but available in about 50% of leagues.
01:56He's got touchdown equity.
01:57He's got a good matchup there against the Saints, too.
01:59There's no Marshawn Lattimore anymore.
02:01So in a standard or a half PPR league, I think Dobbs is a guy that's in play.
02:06Again, touchdown equity is there.
02:07Christian Watson could be the guy.
02:08They spread the ball around.
02:09You just don't know who it's going to be week to week, but it's a great matchup.
02:12You imagine they get some extra opportunities, too.
02:15However, the Green Bay Packers have shown you running first is what they want to do,
02:18which is going to make them a little bit hard to handle in the playoffs with this new identity
02:22they found.
02:23All right, recency bias is a thing.
02:27Brenton Strange falls into that category, 21% rostered, so available in about 8 out
02:32of 10 leagues.
02:33Joe, close the segment out, talking about Brenton Strange.
02:35Yeah, tight end has been very difficult all year long to find.
02:40If you can stream a tight end right now, Brenton Strange is the guy for it.
02:44The confidence level that you have in guys like Jake Ferguson or even Kyle Pitts at this
02:50point is low.
02:51What you saw out of Strange last week was volume, and that's something against the Writers
02:55you could see again.
02:56That would make him very valuable in Round 2 of the playoffs.
