What is the significance of the Arizona Cardinals' secondary performance in relation to Demarcus Robinson?

what's going on everybody welcome back
into the fantasy pros YouTube channel my
name is Lucas wiel and today we are
talking about 10 players that you should
be looking to stash ahead of the week to
slate and ahead of next week's waivers
as well but before we dive on into that
list you can take the guesswork out of
waiver wire decisions with fantasy pros

instant analysis on potential mush from
over 100 fantasy experts you'll also
discover both the weekly and rest of
season impact for every waiver ad all

myplaybook or download the fantasy
football myplaybook app again all you
got to do visit fantasy pros.com
myplaybook or download the fantasy
football myplaybook app to optimize your
roster today our first Dasher this week
is Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Demarcus Robinson who's rostered in 21%
of Leagues with pukan AA placed on
injured reserve there is ample
opportunity for Demarcus Robinson to
have weekly fantasy value it was clear
he was the wide receiver too after nul
left the game is Robinson played only
six less snaps and ran four fewer routes
than Cooper cup the biggest reason he
was one of my favorite stashes prior to
week one was because of how much I love
this Rams offense Stafford looked great
in week one completing nearly 70% of his
passes for 3177 yards even going back to
last season when Robinson was given the
opportunity from week 13 on he was the
wide receiver 12 in PPR formats and who
can aou was healthy during that stretch
the Rams draw a date with the Arizona
Cardinals this week who secondary hasn't
made much much progress since the 2023
season if Demarcus Robinson is still
floating out on the waiver wire in your
league he is the easiest stash ahead of
week
two the second player this week is
running back Tai Chandler of the
Minnesota Vikings who's rostered in 29%
of leagues it may seem like Tai Chandler
is just a handcuff for Aaron Jones but
his weak one numbers would say otherwise
Chandler played 20 of the Vikings 55
snaps compared to Aaron Jones's 30 he
also ran only three less routes than the
season vet and even Drew three Targets
on the afternoon Chandler likely won't
outright supplant Aaron Jones but it's
also clear that Aaron Jones isn't going
to be a Workhorse of the Vikings 23
running back Rush attempts Jones only
handled 14 and TI Chandler was given
eight now Chandler's 2.1 yards per carry
in week one left a lot to be desired but
considering he still mustered up 7.2
fantasy points there could be sneaky
Standalone value here not to mention
Aaron Jones doesn't have the cleanest
bill of health in the NFL and if
anything does happen to Jones Tai Chan
steps in as the running back one for the
Minnesota Vikings next on our list is
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai
Mitchell who's rostered in 27% of
leagues here's the reality with ad M his
a could have been substantially better
if Anthony Richardson didn't overthrow
him twice for touchdowns we'd be talking
about him scoring 20 fantasy points on
the week as the number one waiver wire
pickup instead of only 1.2 fantasy
points and why you should still be
stashing him that's it all it would have
taken was for even one of those two
plays to go different
that's why ad Mitchell is still such a
great stash it's not great to see that
he was out snapped and outproduced by
Alec Pierce but what's clear is that the
explosiveness is 100% there the speed is
there he was leaving dudes in the dust
on the perimeter in week one ad Mitchell
is dangerous and once he and Anthony
Richardson connect on a chunk play The
Narrative will flip entirely another
rookie you should look to stash is
Marshon Lloyd running back for the Green
Bay Packers who's rostered in 10% of
leagues I know he didn't play in week
one it was a em maniel Wilson who saw
four carries Drew three targets and
racked up 48 total yards so why am I
still interested in stashing Marshon ly
first and foremost Lloyd returned to
practice earlier this week in limited
fashion which is a positive sign that he
could return sooner rather than later
and what we can conclude from a Manuel
Wilson's week one usage is that Matt
lefur doesn't want to give Josh Jacobs
the Kiron Williams treatment 73% of the
snaps is still the strong number for
Jacobs he was also Limited at practice
earlier this week with a back injury now
I don't anticipate this being anything
to be worried about but considering the
Packers spent a third round pick on the
USC product he could handle a notable
slice of the backfield when he returns
Lloyd is likely only a stash candidate
if you're in a deeper league so if he is
still available it wouldn't hurt to
stash him earlier than your league
mates another Los Angeles Rams player
you should look to stash this week is
tight end kobby Parkinson who's rostered
in 29% of leades I say this every year
the tight end position is a vast
desolate Wasteland in fantasy football
and considering only five tight ends put
up double digit fantasy points in week
one we need the stash upside when we see
it just like Demarcus Robinson pukan
akua's absence is going to open up moral
opportunity for Parkinson the Rams are
looking to make sure their $21 million
investment is on the field as Parkinson
played 69 of 78 possible snaps against
the Lions in week one and ran the most
routes of all tight ends that led to
four receptions on five targets for 47
yards in a tight end seven finish in PPR
formats on the week now I don't want to
leverage 8.7 fantasy points like it's a
phenomenal outcome but on any other week
it would be a no-brainer to pick up the
tight end 7 if more opportunity was
being opened up to them we've seen Tyler
Higg foot with top 10 top 12 value in
the past on this Rams offense and Kobe
Parkson now it's the same path another
tight end you should consider stashing
is Tucker craft of the Green Bay Packers
who's rostered in only 3% of leagues
this is definitely for those of you in
deep deep leagues but the week 1 numbers
definitely f Tucker craft compared to
Luke Musgrave The Snap shares weren't
even close in Brazil craft played 47
more snaps than Musgrave and ran 22 more
routes considering craft wasn't 100%
healthy coming into week one this was a
relative surprise craft also ran a
healthy 1.76 yards per route per fantasy
points data and he should be running far
more than 30 routes on 64 snaps as he
continues to get healthy now full
recognition that as of this recording
Malik Willis projects to be his
quarterback in week two but that may not
be the worst thing in the world craft
can be the safety blanket for Willis
underneath and while it won't be
Dynamite plays we just talked about hok
Kobe Parkinson was a tight end seven in
week one with only 8.7 fantasy points
we're going back to the Rams well and
talking about stashing wide receiver
Tyler Johnson who's rostered in 8% of
leades if Demarcus Robinson is already
picked up in your league I think Tyler
Johnson is also a great option it'll be
a tag team effort to fill pukan aa's
void but why not throw darts on all
these guys when they all show flashes of
upside Johnson stepped up in puk's
absence playing 51 snaps and Drew seven
Targets on 33 routes the guy caught five
passes for 79 yards while finishing at
the wide receiver 26 on the week and
it's like nobody cares we all know
Cooper cup is going to draw a massive
amount of targets but even when cup
through 21 of them in week one Tyler
Johnson was still involved it also
doesn't help that this Rams offensive
line is banged up and they'll struggle
to run the football I mentioned earlier
the Rams draw the Cardinals in week two
who have exploitable secondary has
projected 492 points in this game if
you're in a deep league and need a dart
throw use it on Tyler
Johnson up next is Carolina Panthers
wide receiver Xavier League get who's
rostered in 14% of leagues I know
rostering any Carolina Panther feels
disgusting at this point but hear me out
on Xavier Legette he led the team in
Targets on Sunday with seven he only
played Four less snaps than teammate
Deontay Johnson and only ran four less
routes than him too now I know no this
Panthers offense looked abysmal the
passing attack found zero Rhythm this
isn't a fun team to talk about okay but
it's only been one week There's time for
the Panthers to piece this thing
together liette is in a stash that will
bring you riches in the next one to two
weeks but if you're in a deep league and
can afford to stash rookie upside Le get
at least flash that in week
one we're getting deep down the wire
with these last two stashes and let's
start with Denver Broncos wide receiver
Devon V who's rostered in only 1% of
League
this is another offense I feel gross
talking about but at the end of the day
volume is volume and when it's going to
a rookie wide receiver I'm willing to
chase it if I have the room to stash
them the seventh round rookie out of
Utah Drew eight targets and caught all
eight of them in his NFL debut he was
still behind Courtland Sutton and Josh
Reynolds and snap Shar and routes run
but if B is going to draw this level of
volume he could have some value in deep
deep PPR leagues if B Knicks is going to
continue to be a check down King the
yardage won't be there but considering V
still scored 11.9 fantasy points on only
39 yards in week one that intrigues me
enough to make him a stash and see how
he fars in week two the last player
we'll talk about today is Tampa Bay
Buccaneers wide receiver Jaylen McMillan
who's rostered in 6% of leagues McMillan
only caught one pass on Sunday but hey
you know what it did go for a touchdown
typically I wouldn't be interested in
chasing a one reception 32 yards and a
touchdown statline but I was shocked
when I took a deeper look at his numbers
McMillan LED all Buccaneers wide
receivers in snaps and routes run in
week one yes more than Mike Evans and
more than Chris Godwin what's clear from
that is McMillan will be on the field
plenty in future weeks and has the wide
receiver three roll locked down in Tampa
Bay they draw a fun match up with the
lions in week two that's projected for
512 points and McMillan could add on to
an optimistic start to his rookie
campaign all righty y'all that is it
that is all I have for you today but
before we sign off
