00:00Let's go to the waiver wire here, because as each week rolls on, this segment becomes

00:07more and more important.

00:09Let's start in Atlanta.

00:10We have a wide receiver here that is available in just about half of your leagues.

00:15Joe, who do you like?

00:17Yeah, look, Darnell Mooney has really stepped up.

00:19A couple of weeks ago, it was fun to see, you know, that big splashy touchdown against

00:24the Eagles.

00:25And they go, okay, well, that was fun, but that's kind of a one-off.

00:28Last week, eight catches on eight targets.

00:30That's not a one-off.

00:31That's something we can build upon.

00:33Big matchup here against the New Orleans Saints.

00:36And Darnell Mooney is getting looks from Kirk Cousins, because Kirk Cousins is a good quarterback

00:39who understands that if you're going to double up Drake London or double up Kyle Pitts, that

00:45somebody's open, and that person's probably Darnell Mooney.

00:48So if you're in full PPR leagues, Darnell Mooney is a guy that can get you 15 points

00:51today.

00:52I feel pretty confident about that.

00:53Like, can he go seven for 75?

00:55Yeah, sure.

00:56Absolutely.

00:57So I think Darnell Mooney is a guy that should be rostered in more than 55% of leagues.

01:01And if you've been watching this show, we gave you Jordan Mason ahead.

01:05We gave you Juwan Jennings ahead.

01:07We're telling you to pick up these guys before they have the big Sundays.

01:12And before then, you have to spend all your free agent budget.

01:15So look at your rosters.

01:17Look who the low person is on your totem pole there.

01:20Who isn't seeing the light of day and take some shots on some of these guys for free

01:24on your waivers on Sunday morning, because it's a great opportunity to get ahead of waivers

01:30come Tuesday.

01:31And that's when you have to empty that tank for that fab after big performances.

01:35That was Darnell Mooney, a wide receiver one.

01:37No.

01:38Could he be a wide receiver three?

01:39Who's a guy that can help you out with bye weeks?

01:41Absolutely.

01:42Yes.

01:43So Darnell Mooney is an ad for me this week.

01:44And I think in the last two weeks, it's pretty hard to argue otherwise.

01:49Darnell Mooney or Jalen Waddell rest of season really?

01:54Still Jalen Waddell.

01:55I'm not completely giving up hope yet.

01:56I think Huntley is good enough to get to bridge you back to 2-0 whenever 2-0 comes back.

02:01And it seems like that is the plan right now.

02:03Gosh.

02:04All right.

02:05Conversation for another day.

02:06Let's go now to the aforementioned New York Jets best kept secret.

02:10This is Braylon Allen here.

02:12Now he is available in over half of your leagues, Joe, again, in a world where everyone is just

02:16so running back centric.

02:18I can't imagine that this guy is still available, but here he is.

02:22He is still available in 50% of leagues.

02:25Now if you're in a sharp league, he's probably already picked up.

02:27If you're playing in the Northeast or tri-state area, chances are he got picked up already,

02:33but he's still floating around Adam right now, even in a 10 team league, because if

02:38something should happen to Breeze Hall, this is your guy to step up.

02:43This is your guy that would become automatically a RB one rest of season.

02:49He is still very young.

02:50He was a three down back at Wisconsin, but you're seeing a better version of him than

02:54even saw it.

02:55Wisconsin.

02:56So I think what you're seeing out of Braylon Allen is it's a good offensive line.

02:59He's running behind.

03:00He doesn't have the full workload yet.

03:02He looks really fresh, really sharp.

03:04He's also catching the ball to you.

03:05So Braylon Allen is a guy that you can plug and play as a flex this week in some leagues,

03:10but even in shallow leagues, he should be rostered way more into that 75, 80% range.

03:14Right now it's still under 50 overall in the consensus and that's just wrong.
