Waddle is a guy that I think people have the most questions about both season long.

And, uh, right now this week, I'm just gonna throw out some players Andy that you have ranked ahead of Jalen Waddle who have not produced this season.

You've got DJ Moore, you've got him at wide receiver 23.

You've got George Pickens who I think is having a great season but has had plays called back.

You've got him ranked ahead.

You have 10 Dell, uh who had negative receiving yards last week and you have Michael Pittman who is rapidly approaching like one of the worst picks you could have made in Fantasy at AD P this year so far from a results perspective.

And then you finally get to Jalen Waddle at wide receiver 27.

So, um just kind of talk me through your thought process with Waddle if you have him on any teams.

Yeah, it's, it's funny sometimes when you do ranks, you just put a whole, like I'll put, I'll put a collection of injured players, um you know, next to each other and sometimes you'll just take a whole bunch of guys where you're like Oh, this is, this is so dismal but they're such um brand name players and you just collect them all together and that's, I feel like that's kind of what I did there, right?

Like I'm not feeling great row here between wide receiver 23 to 26.

Yeah.

Um but you do hit like a certain tier of player where you're like, man, this guy is great.

They are facing a lot of headwinds.

Would I put him in ad Fs lineup?

No, would I, you know, do I have any particular optimism for them this week?

No.

And Waddle in that group, but I don't like, he's also like a secondary option for Miami and I, I do not think that a Skyler Thompson led offense is really going to trickle down to anybody other than Hill and HN like, I think it is pretty bleak for anybody beyond those two.

I just don't like, man, if they can just find a way to, to 21 points, that's kind of miraculous 2124 points.

That would be a huge achievement.

And I just, I don't know, I'll be surprised if there's a lot there for Waddle.

I just don't see many scraps for him.
