Bad Beats, Game Respect Game, Megalabowl WINNER! (+ Week 17 Waivers) - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/29

would be good. Like I want to play against backup quarterbacks. And who are you taking in the Cowboys versus the Giants game? Like to win? Who are you picking to win? The Cowboys. Yeah. So the Cowboys defense is in play for me. I mean, the Giants are just as much in play as the Cowboys are, but I'm going to go with the team I believe will win. So I would take the Cowboys against Daniel Jones. I agree with that. You realize Matthew Stafford has been hurt three consecutive end of?

year he played through it two years ago but it was the back injury for three games and then he missed last year's end of season he's going to miss this year's end of season too yep so injuries are piling up yeah full stream ahead all right man i'm gonna be honest with you it was real tough after i saw you guys had your streaming picks in there to find somebody so i super cheated on this one um but who are your streams of the week uh my stream of the week is kirk cousins i i

I absolutely love him. I would be playing him over most options. You know, let's say you have Pat Mahomes and you've got, you know, the decision to make, like, if they, if he's active, if Pat Mahomes is active, I don't know that you can play him because what's going to play? Is he going to play half a quarter or a drive? It's just one of the, or let's say he's inactive and you need someone to pivot to.

Kirk Cousins against Detroit is a smash matchup. Now, it's a smash matchup for Dalvin. Dalvin, absolutely. But the Lions have done such a good job of letting all positions win. The last five weeks, there has only been one game where they haven't had a top three quarterback performance. Four of the last five weeks is top three. We're not talking like, oh, top 12. We're talking monster massive performances. It only took Brady one half.

Kirk Cousins, he's my streamer and I would definitely start him in a championship. Yeah, literally the only, I think the only risk is, is Delvin goes crazy early on. And it's, I mean, Detroit's not going to, last week where he threw for 300 yards, zero touchdowns, because Alvin Kamara got six. I think they'll split it up. And honestly, maybe one of those Dalvin Cook touchdowns is a screen. Yeah. You know, like you said, fantasy point equality is big for Detroit. They let every position.

reach their goals. Yeah, I think Adam Thielen, Justin Jefferson, those guys are going to get it done. All right, Mike. I'm going with Phillip Rivers. Oh, P. Rivers for week 17. One last dip. Oh, no. Taking on the Jacksonville. I know you had that set up. Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have been the fourth best matchup over the last month. And that includes a game against the Tennessee Titans. So when you look at the fourth, it should probably be better except Derek Henry the Yeti.

held down what Tannenhill could possibly do in that matchup. So I think I like Kirk Cousins a lot. I think I like him more than Philip Rivers, but both are in play. And if Ryan Tannahills available, please play him against the Texans. The Texans defense and the Detroit defense, they huddle up midweek and they say, hey, no, you give up more points. No, you give up more points. They both are terrible. And what you can look for is if you happen to be in the championship week, I don't know if.

someone has Ryan Tanyhill, but Ryan Tannoh could be hate dropped heading after the waiver period because of what he did in week 16. Yeah, and they need to win to clinch the number four seed in the division. And to kind of get some of the stink of last week off on the offensive side of the football. So I think Tanna Hill against the Texans is an obvious smash play. Let's do a little week 17 mailbag. Mailbag. Mailbag.

Oh, this will be fun. Robert Woods question from Zach in Lakefield, Ontario. My finals are in week 17. With golf being out, what do I do about Robert Woods? Do I start them or look for another option in my flex position? Yeah, Woods and Cup are going to be really dicey plays. One of the things I like about Woods with the absence of Darrell Henderson.

Cam Acres and a backup quarterback is I do expect them to manufacture. I mean, Woods is often. I'm just playing them both. Woods has been used in the running game and he's, you know, the plays are usually designed a little bit more for him. Would you play both of them over any of the waiver wire pickups, the Aguilar, the Gallup, the. Yeah, well, maybe not Aguilar. That one would be the toughest one because I don't know if you're going to get the, you're not going to get a boom game, but I feel I feel like Arizona.

will provide enough for Robert Woods and Cooper Cup. And Arizona has the chance to put up points and force him to throw the football. So I'm okay with them. They're both close to the line of scrimmage, PPR type of options. Bethard had three passing touchdowns against Arizona. Yeah, that's definitely fair. All right. Here is a question from Stone in Arkansas. I have Devin Singletarian, Zach Moss. Okay. I'm sorry.

In a league with five keepers. Moss is passing the eye test for me at the end of the season. Singletary hasn't looked that good all year. Who will be more valuable in 2021 and beyond? It's more likely to be Zach Moss. It is more likely to be Zach Moss because he's more likely to score touchdowns. But this is a full-on running back by committee. I can't imagine that the...

With the success that they've had, they're going to say, okay, Zach Moss, you're now the 65% snap guy, and we're going to get you on the field as much as we can. It's going to be both players. He's not a keeper to me. In a five-keeper league, I'm looking to a different option, someone that you can.

hope develops as a wide receiver for the future because what we saw this year is what I expect to get next year barring injury to either one of them, which is irrelevance. They're a player that if you were to draft, you can't really play without an injury to the other party. So I would prefer to look elsewhere. But if I had to pick one of these two, it would be Moss because he's more involved near the goal line and then the passing work. Yeah, the team seems to have trusted him early.

You're exactly right. The only way a running back has value in Buffalo with what Josh Allen does, the frequency of passing and him running himself, is to have the job to himself. I mean, that's what it would be. And that's not the situation. And both guys are under contract, and they're cheap on their rookie deals. So this is, I don't expect them to bring someone in, but they're both going to be there next year. All right, here's a.

Question from carry on my young way coup over on join the foot.com. For last place punishments, do you guys go by regular season standings or the playoffs? Oh, definitely regular season standings. I mean, for those teams that don't make the playoffs and like by a wide margin, the last place teams, what they do in the playoffs is probably nothing. They've probably checked out and aren't participating, aren't doing waivers. So yeah, it's certainly.

whoever sucked in the regular season. All right, that'll do it. We want to thank Pristine Auction. A T. Higgins signed mini helmet yesterday, $71 T. Higgins, bright future in the NFL.
