Week 16 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Survival of the Fittest - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/21

Jay Gris would like Justin Fields' name to be mentioned here. Has Seattle ended up the quarterback nine last night. Was it easy to watch? Was it easy to watch? No, no, it was not easy to watch. Was it easy to keep food down while watching? No, it wasn't. Quarterback nine, though. Really? Yeah, he took off and ran. What a week. Yeah. What a week. Yeah, he's not, he's not my stream of the week. The streamers this week are...

If you're streaming right now, do you have the Cajones, Mike? Sure. To play Tyler Huntley against Cincinnati if he's the starter in Lamar Sitz again. Huntley was the, what, quarterback one on the week? Yes, I do. After seeing that, Tyler Huntley subscribes to the throw the ball to my best player over and over and over strategy that we've often encouraged quarterbacks to go with that protocol. And so he just throws the ball to Mark Andrews all the time.

successfully. I mean, Lamar has been trying to do that recently, but he's got a little careless with those throws. Huntley a little more precise, a little more accurate with those plays. But just the rushing upside definitely exists for him. So yeah, Huntley would be in. I expect Lamar to be back. Do you really like Tannahill if AJ Brown is back this week? Is this your stream? I do like, honestly, I say it's very difficult right now where the guys that I would be willing to stream this week,

should the poop hit the fan. Right. Tannenhill against San Francisco is interesting if he gets A.J. Brown back. And you have the, like, you have the possibility that Giantsa Foreman, their new ground to pound guy is limited, maybe out. Like that's one of the variables for him. Maybe they have to pass a little bit more. So he's interesting to me. Jared Goff, if he is in fact back.

Gets to take on the Atlanta Falcons. Not that I don't want to feel like I'm chasing what Jared Gough did this past week, but the Atlanta Falcons matchup is so great. Jimmy Garoppolo should have had a monster game. Should have had a monster game except Kyle Uscheck ran into touchdown. Shout out to Juice, but, Juice, you're killing our fantasy upside over here at the quarterback position. Then Debo scored, and then Elijah Mitchell scored. I'm sorry, Jeff Wilson scored. There was a bunch of touchdowns.

against the Atlanta Falcons, and I think that the lines can still score. And then the one that... Don't play any of these guys. We're just... Look, we're trying to give... Don't play them. The question is, is like, do you bench Brady with limited weapons for these guys? No, no, no, no, no. And there's no way I would do that. No, we're trying to just talk to the people. Like, wouldn't you play Jimmy G on Thursday over Ryan Tannehill? I mean, Tannenhill has been probably the biggest quarterback bust of the year. Yeah.

And I blame him or not. Like, I would play Jimmy G. over him, I think. Would you? Yeah. I mean, Ryan Tannehill gives you too low of a floor. Yeah, that's what I'm saying if A.J. Brown is back, which is, I think, low odds at this point? I don't know, man. I guess I'm just, like, would you, let's ask the question. Brady being the standard, right? Right. At this point in time, you're looking at semi-final week football.

So the conversation on streamers does change. Tyler Huntley, if he's the starter, do you play him over Tom Brady? I... Do you have... I don't. I don't have that heart of stone to make that move. Maybe. Talk to me on Friday. Yeah, I mean, that's the question for me. Everybody else, there's no way you're benching an important... You're not benching a quarterback that got you here. Is that fair? Yeah, but there are teams that like...

You're relying on Joe Burrow. You're relying on Kurt Cousins. I'm not benching those guys for Ryan Tannehill. Okay. Tyler Huntley is the one singular ceiling play, right? You're an underdog. You're an underdog. You're going to play Kirk Cousins in 87 yards or are you going to play Tyler Huntley with the potential of 30 plus? The other one who I think is very boom, very bust because everything could go to Jonathan Taylor.

But Carson wins against Arizona. There is the opportunity that they're going to score a bunch of points. I think Michael Pittman has a bounce back week after the very disappointing one reception get kicked out. No. But. Nope. Can't make me do it. Five pass attempts last week. I'm not making you do it. 20 or worst in four or five weeks. I'm not even touching. I'm not making you do it. I'm just relaying the information. No, I know. I know. And I'm reacting like.

a fantasy player should react. The information out there is tough. Yeah, I mean, bleh. Do you know that Lamar's never had a two passing touchdown, two rushing touchdown week, and Tyler Huntley just did it? I know that now. Yeah. I think Huntley is somebody that the problem is Lamar might just be back. That's what I'm saying. Wouldn't that be the probable thing? I do believe that Lamar will be back.

All right, so dance with a girl that brought you. I guess. All right, Trager, we want to thank them for supporting the show. Grilling season, Mike, it never ends. Oh, it never ends for me. Especially out here in Arizona. Ain't no snow on the ground. Nope. Keep the wood-fired flavor coming all year long with Trager. Six and one versatility. You can cook everything. Low and slow. Barbecue. Did that for Thanksgiving. Classic roasts, braises, baked goods. Foof.

You can monitor it on your phone. That's what I do. It's honestly. From the comfort of my couch. It's the best. It is. That's genuine, like. It's the best. And you know it out there. You've heard Trigger's name before. You already know the story. You've been, you either have one or you've made plans to get one. Those are the only two statuses that you can have. Or you have located your neighbor that has one. Right. I mean, Trigger.com slash footballers, make it a woodfired winner. Check them out.
