Fantasy Football - Week 11 Waivers & Streamers + Jason's Dead? - Podcast for 11/11

Kyle Williams. I thought about it. We just have to at least mention it. Kyle Williams is a rookie on Mike's dynasty team. He's 7% rostered. He had a 72-yard touchdown. Yeah, he did. He is fast. He's very fast. But I don't know if the team is going. I don't know if Mike Rabel can handle two youngsters out there at the same time. Kyle Williams only got two targets. But if they play on Thursday and if booty can't go, then Kyle Williams. When the booty can't go. Yeah. We've all been there. Yeah, not Jason's problem right now. All right. We've got tight ends. No, it's not. No, it's not. Tight ends, Kate Otten, 12 targets. Yikes. Would you play, would you rather play Tess or would you rather play Kate Otton? I'd probably play Otten. In a flex? Yeah. I'd probably do that, yeah. I mean, it's just, that feels wild to play the tight end over the wide receiver, but he just, he gets volume. The hype.

He gets explosive-ed. Yeah, the hype is probably calmed down on Colson Loveland, and that might be to your advantage fantasy player because... Oh, I'm still in. He was four for... I said the hype died down, but DJ Moore, the injury. All the things Mike said about Luther Burden, they apply to the Colson Loveland involvement in the offense. Harold Fanon, a little bit less excited with the fact Najoku came back and stole a bunch of targets and snaps, and it's the Browns. Still seven targets. Theo Johnson, seven for 75 in this last one. You need Jackson Dart, though. You do. And then Joanne Johnson, four for 92. Has it been two good games without, or just one without Rashid Shaheed. But the last four weeks, he's been a top 12 tight end again. Yeah. He is, as soon as you count on him, he's going to dump all over you. But right now, passively. His game is so weird. But he's going into the buy, right? Yeah, he is. And then I wasn't, there was nothing impressive about the Musgrave involvement or anything yesterday.

Defensively, you've got some matchups, the Patriots this week. They play the Jets. You like that. They're at home. Houston. Been a great defense. Yeah, if they're somehow out there. They play Tennessee. Baltimore, less than 50% rostered. They play Cleveland. They've been playing a lot better. And, well, Dylan Gabriel is Dylan Gabriel, or as Jason would say, Gill and Daybriel. Green Bay, they take on the Giants. It could be Russ at quarterback or James. Green Bay's defense just held Philly in check. Those are kind of the highlight names on the defensive side. Yeah. Man, who would just, all things considered of those four, who would you actually pick? If I had my choice of all of them, I'd probably just play the Patriots against the Jets. I would feel at home. That's the only home matchup of that group. I'd probably feel pretty cozy about that. No Garrett Wilson. I mean, how do you do anything? It's going to be Breece Hall checkdowns and Justin Fields.

Checking out. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm sorry. What? Are you sure it's Justin Fields? We won't know. I mean, they did win, right? Competitive advantage. Yeah, they kept it. They kept it right up to game time. The other team literally didn't know what was going to happen. I mean, the Cleveland Browns had no idea. how to play defense against a quarterback. They hadn't built a game plan yet. No. And then they surprised them. Yeah, and that's why all of those not offensive touchdowns were happening. Could you hear, by the way. They were so psyched out. If you listen to the broadcast, you can actually hear the entire Cleveland Brown's defense screaming. No! When the news broke that morning from the locker room because they had no notes. Yeah. They had no notes. They couldn't figure it out. They had just guessed it to Rod Taylor and then they had built a game plan around Taylor. What did Fields actually end up with? Garbage.

He threw the ball 11 times. For how many yards? For 54 yards. And let me tell you, one of the receptions was for 42 yards. Was the Breesall touchdown? Was that a downfield pass? No, no, no, no. So it was a check as a screen. Yeah. So you had basically zero yards down the field. Yeah. Nifty. Yeah. And that's annoying. All right, that was this week's waiver wire presented by Jimmy Johns. Jimmy John's new toasted pizza sandwiches available in two flavors, three cheese pizza sandwich and Sicilian pizza sandwich. Oh, that's good at participating locations for a limited time while supplies last. We did get those sandwiches. I did steal somebody's sandwich on accident. I'm sorry to the person that ordered the Sicilian. Your mouth wasn't sorry. No, that was better than the... I thought it was my favorite one. Yeah. All right. Let's talk some quarterbacks. Full stream ahead. I don't see one in here for Jason. He didn't even put a streaming quarterback in. He was too busy.

This guy. Too busy scaring the living daylights out of us. Goodness gracious. To be clear, I'm very, very happy that he's alive. Yeah. But. But now we're mad. Who you stream it. Yeah. Who you stream it. Mike, you got a name in here. And it's a guy you love. You just, oh, man. You love him to death. I love nothing more than recommending to stream Aaron Rogers. But he's your dude. He's playing the Cincinnati Bengals and the, I mean, Aaron Rogers, it has not been great. But guess what he was, he has two good games on the year. One in week one against the Jets in that really surprising shootout where it looked like Justin Fields was actually going to be a good quarterback this year. Then bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. Oh, wait, we got week seven here. 22.6 points, QB8 on the week. Oh, it's the Cincinnati Bengals. Hey. And that was on the road, too.

If you are up against it, we already, the 49.5 point over, under, and the Steelers are the heavy favorites. Was that what it was? Five and a half, I think, yeah. So Aaron Rogers is in play, should you need to stream your quarterback this week. You can get D.K. McCaff above the 30-yard mark? This week I actually do. Marcus Mariotta will be my streaming quarterback pick. It was a whooping last week against Detroit, and he's still in the mid-20s in fantasy production. It's just what he does. Two touchdowns. He's got a weekly floor thanks to the rushing and the opportunities there. They are going to play Miami, but it's in Madrid, right? Oh, I'm sure. So it's a road game for both, really. And Miami right now against quarterbacks, I know they had the good week against Josh Allen, but still 22nd on the season and schedule adjusted. Terry McLaren will be there on the bench, clapping. I did. I loved the announcement that Terry McLaurin will go to Spain with the team, not going to play. I'm like, well, yeah.

Who doesn't go to Spain? Yeah, you're like, I get a free flight. Yeah, man. A free trip over to Spain. I'm going to go do that. Yeah, and pay attention if Flacco was dropped over the buy. Over the buy. Yeah, I would play Flacco over Aaron Rogers. And if it wasn't clear, I guess we didn't really lay out strategy for Joe Burrow. Like, if my quarterback, if I don't have a locked in solution at quarterback, you know, you're talking one of the elites, yes, I am picking up Joe Burrow right now based off of this news. Headed into week 11, you might get him in two weeks. Yeah, I are spot, you know, that'd be nice. Even there, a lot of people are really, really struggling with their quarterback situation. And if somehow Burrow was available, I think I'd be pretty aggressive to go get him. Yeah, if you, we didn't have a great start to the year, but he played against Cleveland in Cleveland. He also always, always starts slow.

We'll take a break. We'll jump into, I think, sports card talk for the next 20, 30 minutes. Oh, I'm here for that. Also, Jason's not here. You and I can talk cards. Hopefully, Joe Burrow, Joey B is watching what Joey F is doing. Wait, Joey F, up, okay. Yeah. Of where he's just, where, where Flacco is like, what am I going to do here? I'm going to throw that ball to Jamar Chase. 20 times. Here it out. Joe Burrow, do it. If you need, listen to Mike. Well, I mean, honestly, if we get two more games of just... I thought you meant Joey Fatone. Oh, of Insync? Of Insync. Yeah. No, no. I meant Joe Flacko. Okay, got it. If we get two more weeks of like 15 targets for Jamar Chase and then Joe Burrow comes in and it's like eight targets. Yeah. People are going to get real, real mad at Joe Burrow. You got a room for Joey Fatone. Let's take a break. We'll actually jump into some mailbag.

From Curtis 50 Cent Jackson and the executive producers of power comes the final season of force. Tommy Egan is back and he's going all in. Turf Wars, betrayal, and chaos erupt. Will he finally become the kingpin of Chicago? Watch the explosive season premiere now, only on Stars and the Stars app. What's up, Foot Clan?

It was our special like pizza night thing, and then you become addicted to it. But the sugar, it's not good for you.

I'm a big fan of olipop. It's low sugar soda. You get the fizz. You get to enjoy it. I love cherry vanilla. That's my favorite flavor.

This is one of the most peculiar episodes we've ever had. The vibe just feels funny. Yeah. Due to the bear. Because we were in a horror movie where it was like,

do loot do let's make jokes about our friend yeah sleeping in and then slowly the anxiety just starts building to like oh no he's for sure it something really really bad happened it was it was pretty freaky man it was so freaky that our producers didn't even make the mute buttons work that's how freaky it was uh we got mailbag mike all right mailbag yeah If you got a question, you go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. You can click that, submit a question button or dial the voicemail hotline 302-464 TFFB, and we will answer your questions trying to help you out this week. This one's a good one. We haven't talked about him a lot. Probably should have talked about him a little more. Jesse and Pasadena wants to know is Xavier Worthy at drop status at this point. With how Mahomes is playing, I thought Worthy would benefit, but he really hasn't provided those winning weeks.

What's the vibe check on Mr. Xavier Worthy? We know he's been playing through injury since week two. The targets, I mean seven, seven. What are your thoughts, Mike? Do you? I'm giggling because Kyle sent the message real quick. He says no one hates Worthy more than Mike, which I am a very biased. Oh, is this not a good question for you? Would you drop Xavier Worthy? Everything that I've seen from Worthy, including the second half. breakout of last year, which what I thought was like an inefficient for they tried to turn him into Rishi Rice, which he had some success for fantasy. But if you like look at how efficient Rice is with the targets compared to what Worthy was doing, it was not even close. So everything I've seen from Worthy just confirmed my priors of I still haven't seen a player who that I'm blown away with for who really deserve to be a round one talent. I don't.

I mean, unless you're like, I got to get Parker Washington into my starting lineup, I'm not going to drop him because things, the story, I can see it turning around for him, but I don't think it will happen. Evan and Denver, should I start Woody Marks or Kamani Vidal this week? I, we have been here before with Woody Marks where he had a breakout performance and then people relied on him. This one is actually very. Tough. We've also been there with Vidal three times. I mean, he was running back 8, 7, and 8 in weeks, 6, 8 and 10. Taking a week off in between. Now goes to Jacksonville, tough running defense. I want it to be Vidal. He's on the better team. I want a piece of the Chargers offense. Woody Marks is fully healthy.

Because I know he got banged up in that game, came out, and... I don't think he's on any injury reports. He put 80% of the snaps. He's actually been double digits in three of the last four weeks, and he's against Tennessee. So this really is a legitimate start-sit question, where I'm not just going to be like, all right, I want Vidal because he's on the Chargers. I think the answer is still Vidal, but it's close. Woody marks in week 10. He played seven of seven snaps inside the 10. Handled all four carries. I mean, they really are giving him an audition right now. It seems that way. And they did come back from 29 to 10. Freaking Jacksonville. All right. Hey, ballers. Dylan and Mississippi flex Jalen Warren or George Pickens with a deck stack. What would you do with that situation? Jalen Warren, Cincinnati, high over under.

George Pickens, you know the Cowboys defense is always a problem, but he's been outside the top 23 for three straight weeks. They play. Really? George? Yeah, George. George has been, I mean, he's been fine, really good. I mean, four for 82, seven for 78, and six for 79 just hasn't scored. He has had double-digit points every week except for week one. He's still on pace for 1,400 receiving games. He's having a man. I might. I mean, that's at Las Vegas. D.K. Metcalf over George Pickens, did we? Weirdos. You're talking about the... I'm talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers. They did. They did. They did do that, didn't they? I would... Oh my gosh. Would I play Warren over George Pickens? Yeah. You would. Yeah. The problem with the Las Vegas game, I mean, maybe Las Vegas can put up points against Dallas. But I think I feel pretty confident five and a half point favorites for Pittsburgh at home against Cincinnati's defense, right? They both have good matchups.

But I feel a little bit better about Jalen Warren myself. I don't know where you're at. I think I'd play George. Okay. I'd play George that, I mean, double-digit baseline chance for monster games. Would you, do you feel like the ceiling potential for George would be higher than Warren? Probably. Okay. Probably, but you're going to have to get that touchdown. You're going to be a little bummed. Oh, yeah, yeah. Jared in Ohio with a question. This one's a tough one, Mike. When is it okay to admit to myself? I'm out. I've been in last all year out of 12. But it's been injury and spotty performance as a team that should have been good on paper. That's right. You tell them. It's their fault. Achieved all year. I'm two and eight. Is it okay to say the title is not in the cards this year for my redraft league? Hashtag my meow team. Two and eight. I mean, you have to look at the rest of the league. That's not great. Yeah. It's definitely not great. I mean, you're probably cooked.

You probably are. I'd say you probably are, but you go look at the actual league standings and see how far you are out of six plays. It might be closer than you realize. I mean, six and 14 is good enough for a division lead. According to the metrics that I have. And also, when you're out, you're not actually out. I mean, you're out of the playoffs. Yeah, try not to finish last. But you don't want to finish last. Don't be an embarrassment of your family and friends. And you want. to ruin other people's Sundays. Like, yeah, if, if, look, if you're, if you're in the pit of sadness and despair, you don't want to be there alone. You need to, you need to reach up, grab and drag your friends down with you. That's right. Thank you, Mike. That's such good advice. Jay Grizz agrees. That is going to do it for this episode of the show. Enjoy the holiday. If you have the opportunity to, uh, have some time off. All the kids, uh, are your kids off today? They are.

We never got the Tuesday. It is. It was always like observed on a Monday or something when we were growing up. It is unique, yeah. Man, we've got the Tuesday off. All the kids are at home. Jason's at home. Everybody's got it off. The roads were a bit more clear. Yeah, he didn't need them. Well, I was talking about for me. Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. The roads, the roads were a little more clear. We got TNF preview, backup options, playoff primer. Jason's alive. We'll be back tomorrow. He might even be here. We'll see. I mean, I guess we'll never.
