Good morning.

Was this the worst fantasy week of the season? Scoring was at its lowest, big names like Emeka Egbuka, Puka Nacua and Garrett Wilson went down, Rico Dowdle is suddenly Walter Payton, and we all started Hassan Haskins thanks to pregame reports that he was the lead back, only to watch Kimani Vidal go OFF.

…Sometimes I really hate fantasy football.

But then again, come Tuesday mornings I always manage to find some optimism (maybe that’s just the tortured Browns fan in me). Every week is a new beginning, and it all starts with the Waiver Wire. So let’s dive in to see which backup RB we can be hopefully not be wrong about this week…🙃

Buying Cannabis Online Is Now Legal, And Incredibly Convenient

For years, buying cannabis meant taking a trip to a dispensary, dealing with long lines, limited selection, and inconsistent pricing. But thanks to changing laws and innovative online retailers, buying high-quality THC products is now 100% federally legal—and more convenient than ever.

And when it comes to quality and reliability, Mood is leading the way…

Because they’ve completely flipped the script on cannabis shopping. Instead of memorizing hundreds of confusing strain names – like “Gorilla Glue” and "Purple Monkey Breath" – you simply choose how you want to feel: Creative, Social, Focused, Relaxed, Happy, Aroused, and more.

Each gummy is formulated with the perfect blend of Delta-9 THC and botanicals to deliver the perfect mood.

Want a great night’s sleep? Try the Sleepytime gummies. Need laser focus Mind Magic gummies have you covered. Hotter sex? Try the Sexual Euphoria gummies.

It's cannabis shopping that actually makes sense for “normal” people.

Running Back

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (27%) out-snapped Hassan Haskins 43-20 and untouched him 21-7—per FantasyPros’ Ellis Bryn Johnson—en route to 124 rushing yards and three catches for 14 yards. Now, even I could run for 100 yards against the Dolphins, but if Vidal remains the main guy in LA, he’ll be a solid FLEX option. Omarion Hampton is expected to be out beyond his four-game IR minimum, but still proceed with caution here—the Chargers are looking to trade for a RB, and they could easily mix in Haskins more often going forward, too. Bid around $20.

Cardinals RB Bam Knight (6%) was randomly announced as the head of the team’s committee Sunday morning, and he went on to finish with one more touch than Michael Carter, while also seeing one more red-zone look (which he punched into the end zone), per SI’s Michael Fabiano. Bid $10-$15.

Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (19%) moved up the depth chart with Miles Sanders now out for the season. It hasn’t amounted to anything yet (seven yards on seven carries the last two weeks), but dammit I’ll die on the hill that Blue could be a league-winner this year.✊ Javonte Williams hasn’t been a pillar of health in his career, and you want any piece of this Cowboys offense you can get. Bid $1-$5.

Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (34%) has scored three TDs in the last four weeks and is clearly the team’s top goal-line option. As long as KC continues to move the ball well, Hunt can be an acceptable FLEX option. Bid $1-$5.

• Clear handcuffs that might still be available to stash (in order): Tyler Allgeier (33%), Bhayshul Tuten (31%), Brian Robinson (31%), Blake Corum (14%), Kendre Miller (25%), Tyjae Spears (24%), Kyle Monangai (4%), and Isaiah Davis (5%).
