0:00.0 | Week 3, the NFL season is over, and before we get to week 4, you have to dominate your |
0:04.0 | waiver wire. And looking at waivers this week, there's no doubt that the wide receiver |
0:07.3 | position is where you want to be spending the majority of your budget and time. So these are the |
0:11.6 | 10 wide receivers that you should be looking to add in your fantasy league before your friends do. |
0:15.5 | And we'll start with maybe the most obvious one. He's the number one ad across all wide receivers this week, and that is Joanne Jennings, who we were telling you to add towards the end of last week, whether it was here on this channel, |
0:24.6 | whether it was on my social channels, or during our work on Yahoo. Now, Jennings started this |
0:28.4 | game, and there was no George Kittle, there was no Debo, there was no Christian McCaffrey. He ends up |
0:32.0 | running 89% of the routes, so elite usage, and he turns this into a 40% target share. Let me give you a little bit of a |
0:39.3 | thought here. A 40% target share while playing next to Brandon Ayuk is insane. A 40% target share would |
0:43.9 | rank number one amongst all wide receivers last season. And then he turns this elite usage into |
0:47.6 | 12 targets. That was the 40%. 175 yards, three touchdowns. Look, I was facing Brandon Ayuk in the |
0:53.0 | Flock Fantasy League. We're doing like a reality TV show, the league channel over there in the flock league. |
0:57.2 | I faced him there. And as of right now, as of this recording, I'm still going to win somehow, |
1:00.5 | despite him dropping 46 points. Now, I really want to point to this stat that I found on Twitter |
1:04.3 | from the 33rd team. You can see right here, EPA per target. That's expected points added per target. It was 1.55. Now, what does that mean? It literally |
1:11.3 | means every time the 49ers targeted one Joanne Jennings in week three, it was worth one and a half |
1:16.4 | points to their score. Every target. He ends up ending this game by playing the most snaps running |
1:20.7 | the same amount of routes as Brandon Ayuk and seeing two more targets than Iuk, who did have |
1:24.6 | a nice target share in this game. I think he's a by-low candidate, 10 targets in this game for Ayuk, but 12 for Joanne Jennings, and here's the thing. |
1:30.5 | George Kittle should probably miss at least another week with the hamstring. |
1:33.4 | Debo Samuel is expected to miss more time, and so is Christian McCaffrey. So you're going to get more |
1:36.8 | of these games out of Joanne Jennings, not in terms of points in yardage and all that, but in terms of usage. So so far through three games, and this was also the first two games of the year, |
