Fantasy Football Semifinals: Waiver Wire Rebound, Tua Benched & 5 Teams That Could Trade for Joe Burrow

Part 1 of today's show gets you ready for the fantasy football semifinals with waiver wire pickups that could win you a championship.

Intro: (0:00)

Waiver Wire Rebound (1:00): The most-dropped players worth picking back up. Shedeur Sanders was the 4th most-dropped QB but has a great finals matchup against Pittsburgh. Jayden Higgins was the 5th most-dropped WR despite 19 targets over three weeks before his dud - he faces the Raiders this week. Brian Robinson gives you CMC insurance. The 49ers defense was the 3rd most-dropped - they're playing the COLTS, why are people dropping them?

Best Players Still Available: Bryce Young (19% owned) faces a limping Buccaneers team. Luther Burden III (17%) if healthy. Michael Carter (27%) could be a league-winner with Arizona's banged-up backfield - 14 carries last week. Colby Parkinson (22%) has TDs in 5 of his last 6 games. AJ Barner had 11 targets and 70 yards against the Rams last matchup.

Dumpster Darlings Recap (10:57): Last week's best deep-league adds you missed. Kirk Cousins (8% owned) dropped 26.92 points. Colby Parkinson scored 22 points. The full lineup put up 143.92 points - these are championship-winning adds.

Dolphins Bench Tua (13:55): Miami benched Tua Tagovailoa and it raises MASSIVE questions about their future. What does this mean for fantasy? For Miami's offseason? Is the Tua era over in South Beach?

5 Teams That Could Trade for Joe Burrow (19:12): If Burrow is really fed up with the Bengals, here are the teams with motivation and assets to make a blockbuster move:

1. Miami Dolphins - Need a big QB change in competitive AFC East. 11th pick + Tua + 2026 1st?
2. New York Jets - No QB of the future, picking 5th overall. Can they send a package of picks?
3. Las Vegas Raiders - Could have #1 overall pick. Is that enough to get Cincy talking?
4. Philadelphia Eagles - If playoffs go like regular season for the offense, could they go all-in? Aggressive GM, Super Bowl roster.
5. Minnesota Vikings - JJ McCarthy gamble didn't pay off. QB is only thing keeping them from being NFC North contenders.

Honorable Mention: Arizona Cardinals - Kyler Murray out of favor, young enough to be trade centerpiece?

Thursday Night Football Preview (31:39): Rams at Seahawks breakdown with key fantasy matchups and defensive rankings for each position.
