00:00What do you do in terms of your fantasy lease?

00:02Can you get someone on waivers?

00:04You know all this stuff.

00:05I don't.

00:06I'm amateur hour when it comes to this stuff.

00:08Well, look, I mean, if you're playing in any sort of single quarterback league, there

00:13should be a lot of replacement value on the waiver wire.

00:16Guys you'd be looking at are guys like Drake May because of that rushing equity he brings

00:20you.

00:21I will be staying away from Matthew Stafford this week.

00:22The tough part is it's a big bye week, right?

00:24So we're missing a lot of guys.

00:25So maybe Baker Mayfield's on the waiver wire.

00:27People might have dropped him because he was on a bye last week.

00:30I don't feel great about streaming guys like Tommy DeVito or Cooper Rush.

00:33But if you're in super flex leagues, this is where it really hurts you.

00:36Because not only do you lose Purdy, but where you're going for replacement, you basically

00:40have to go to Brandon Allen at this point because most of the guys already gone off

00:43the waiver wire.

00:44It was DeVito, right?

00:45We just got, you know, the replacement value on Daniel Jones and he's kind of looking around

00:49for any sort of replacement.

00:50So you're going to see a lot of leagues this week in super flex formats where you're playing

00:54two quarterbacks where they won't have a second quarterback in that super flex spot.

00:58Brandon Allen is not a great start on the road.

01:00But again, it would not shock me if they just end up pivoting and simplifying things a little

01:04bit for him.

01:05You're gonna see a ton of Christian McCaffrey in this game.

01:07Hopefully George Kittle's back healthy enough to play in this game too.

01:10And then at least you have the full complement of weapons theoretically to help him out.

01:14That's a win.

01:15But look, don't be shocked if the 49ers win this football game because it's not like Green

01:19Bay has been setting the world on fire recently too.

01:22They got out of Dodge last week in Chicago by the skin of their teeth, by a hand on a

01:27football and a kick.

01:28So they did not deserve to win that football game.

01:30They didn't earn to win that football game.

01:31So don't be shocked if the 49ers somehow pull a rabbit out of their pocket and win this

01:35one.

01:36But at the same time, from a fantasy perspective, you're in a tough spot here with Purdy and

01:39all the weapons.

01:40In theory, you have to downgrade a little except McCaffrey.

01:42I think McCaffrey, you'll see a ton of workload and volume for him.

01:46He might just take over this game.
