Eric Samulski (@SamskiNYC) and Scott Pianowski (@scott_pianowski) discuss the recent news and main waiver wire adds for the weekend. How good was Paul Skenes' debut? Should fantasy managers be as interested in Robert Gasser and Christian Scott? Why is Eric so excited about Matt Manning returning and instead of spending waiver money on trendy prospects, should people be more interested in hitters like JJ Bleday, Josh Rojas, Abraham Toro, and Eddie Rosario?
