    It's Tuesday so we're talking waiver wire.  This is a long listen at about 53 minutes talking time. We hit the QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs in order and then wrap up with my short list. The wire is always long this time of year. Next week is likely to be the same as these teams continue to figure who they are.  I'll be watching more games today and we will break down every single team tomorrow and on Thursday. We'll hit all 32 teams over the two shows. On Friday, we'll pivot to some Week 3 DFS.
