Playoff Primer + Week 10 Buy or Sell, Fence Sitting

His snaps, A.J. Brown's snaps are still a little bit frustrating with Taji Sharp, but A.J. Brown has been delivering for fantasy, and he gets Oakland, Houston, and the Saints. I think it's very important that when we as fantasy players talk about the wide receiver in Tennessee, we don't speak A.J. Brown and Corey Davis's name at the same time. I think it's important. I really do because...

I'm looking at these and I'm going, no, if I'm going to lose in the playoffs, I'm not losing with a Tennessee Titan wide receiver. But what I'm really saying to myself is I'm certainly not losing with Corey Davis in my starting lineup. Okay. A.J. Brown has more upside and more opportunity. I would want to see the NBA Jam rule start to apply towards the playoffs. If you pick them up, let's take a look. Let's see if Taneo continues to throw for, you know, what he's, continue to do what he's doing. I would look at A.J. Brown, I'm not losing with Corey Davis on my playoff roster.

Yeah, no, I completely agree. And I do think A.J. Brown as a rookie is a guy that obviously has not met his potential yet. He's still growing as a player and maybe as a man. He's humongous. He is so, I don't remember him being so big at Ole Miss. And I watch this. He's a tank out there. His close rink in the laundry. Yeah, that's what it is. Devante Parker. Now, what would be better than winning in the playoffs?

and then your opponent has to see Devonze Parker in the lineup. He's got arguably the best playoff schedule, the Jets, the Giants, the Bengals. That's incredible. That is so incredible that you start to say Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to have a nice run during that time, but it is still the Miami offense and the mistakes. It still is, and we need to see what can Parker do without Preston Williams helping? I don't think Preston Williams.

was opening things up for Devante Parker. I don't think anyone was double covering Preston Williams. Not talking about double covering, but it's things, defense has changed when you know that the best second option is now closed. Totally agree with the premise. But my point is going from Preston Williams, you know, to the second and third options, whoever that is, I don't know if Albert Wilson gets involved. It doesn't seem likely. It'll be him, Grant.

Miscellany? Yeah, so, you know, but I actually, and this is something I don't want to say, but it is what I believe. I love Devante Parker. Like, I love him going forward. I think that he's going to be a very, very relevant player. At wide receiver, you don't get consistency. I mean, the number one wide receiver in fantasy Mike Evans has a goose and a 3.8 fantasy finish because they don't get the guaranteed touches. And so with Devante Parker,

I love his upside with Fitzpatrick. And until he's replaced, which might not happen, I'm all about, if he's still on waivers, which he is in about half of leagues, can't be. And I would do one of these packaged trades where maybe you're getting rid of a player with a bad schedule to get a better running back and then throw in Devante Park. Yeah, I don't mind that. You still have the variable of at any moment in time, Josh Rosen could be throwing the football. Yeah. But until then,

Not bad. His last five games, he's been a top 24 receiver in four of those five games. His only one where he wasn't, he was the wide receiver 35. Parker's been good. And they're getting blitzed. I mean, their defense is bad. And so if Ryan Fitzpatrick is slinging it and you have an entire game to throw the ball, that's, yeah, Brooks is highlighting your quote that he will forever keep in.

our archives. Jason Moore, November 6th, 937 a.m. I love Devante Parker. That's right. And bring it up when he's fantastic and winning championships. Hashtack footland titles. So we'll never bring it up again. Got it. All right. Worst wide receiver schedules. These are more interesting to me. The Chiefs have, you know, we talked about my homes. Well, the capped up side, you're not going to lose with Tyree Kill on your bench. But you might win with Sammy Watkins on your bench. You've got the.

Patriots, you've got the Broncos and you've got the Bears. That's one, three, four against wide receivers. You know my Sammy Watkins policy. I don't have to make this decision in any league. Right. But the peripheral pieces in Kansas City, you might want to be concerned about the upside there. Yeah, and I wanted to bring up with Tyree Kill, you mentioned that incredible playoff game against the Patriots. It was 37 to 31.

For the people at home, do you remember Tyreek Hill's stat line in that game? What, do you have one catch or something? One reception. It's the New England Disappearing Act, your best option. Yep, you take away your number one option, and they can do it. That defense can actually get the job done. If you buy that narrative completely, then you might say that Watkins is a better option than you think. Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sunoo, the New England whiteouts.

I pull up Sammy's numbers in that game. He had a huge game. Yeah, he did. Yeah, four for 114. Yeah, he's real good at. He's a trickster. He's a trickster. He's a trickster. He's real good at being good in the games that nobody's starting him. So, you know, the Patriots come along and it's like, oh, yeah, you can't play Watkins. Or the games that catch your eye, right? Big playoff game, first game of the year. Edelman, Sunoo, tough schedule, Cup, Woods, Cooks. I think that one's interesting. You're not going to bench Cooper Cup.

But you might be less excited about Woods and cooks if they have a tough schedule. Alan Robinson. Alan Robinson is risky business with a very difficult playoff schedule and a guy named Mitch Trubisky throwing in the football. He shouldn't be the quarterback by then. You're talking about Alan Robinson? No. Alan Robinson should be the quarterback by then. Yeah, I mean, I guess we can just hope for Chase Daniels. Best teams to start.

wide receivers against right now Tampa, Oakland, the Giants, the Falcons, the Texans, worst teams, Patriots, Bills, Broncos, Bears, Cowboys. All right, let's look at the tight-in position before we get into our Thursday night preview here. Well, and we'll look at the defenses as well. Okay. Well, tight-ins, a couple that jump out. If O.J. Howard can find his way back into the offense, he has a nice schedule.

I'm not buying it. I don't care very much. I know, I know OJ Howard, someone I'm rolling with this week against Arizona, but you can't, I mean, maybe if you've got a deep bench and you want to stash him and hope. So both are on waivers right now. The other, the other tied in with the great schedule is Greg Olson, Atlanta, at Atlanta, Seattle, at the Colts. Those are three plus matchups.

Would you rather stash Greg Olson right now or OJ Howard? I would much rather have Greg Olson, a guy who's been involved, done it for longer. Yeah, and then on the bad tight-in schedules, it's interesting because I brought up Mark Andrews and that I think Mark Andrews is likely to be a player that could lose you your league if you're too loyal to the way he started this season. He has the worst schedule in the playoffs against defenses that are pretty good against the tight-in. Buffalo in Buffalo.

You take the yardage numbers from Lamar Jackson and you put it up against that secondary in Buffalo. You're asking for Mark Andrews to score. The Jets, who are actually very good against the tight-in position, probably a lot of that has to do with Adams. And then Cleveland to in the air. I just think you need to not be blindly loyal to Mark Andrews. If there's a trade that fits your team, I'm not opposed to making it. Austin Hooper has a tough playoff schedule.

I'm not as worried about Austin Hooper. See, I am worried about Austin Hooper. Last year, Austin Hooper, we brought him up on this show. And we talked about he had a bad playoff schedule. In points per game, weeks 1 through 13, he was actually the tight end eight last year. But at the bad schedule he had, weeks 14 through 16, he was the tight end 33. So.

I mean, that's not to say. A different player this year. 100%. Different. He's involved in the offense more. And I'm not saying, oh, I think he's going to stink. What I am saying is you can definitely capitalize on a hooper. Especially, think about like Darren Waller, down game. Maybe people, you could trade an Austin Hooper for Darren Waller. Plus. Plus, you know, another relevant player. I would be.

I would be willing to do that. Or just straight up, potentially. I mean, Sharon Waller has Tennessee Jacksonville. Maybe I could get Waller and my guy, Devante Parker. Oh, my guy. You think that's how people are viewing Hooper that? Yeah, people, I mean, Hooper's been. Number one. Yeah, he's the number one tied in. People at this point are viewing Hooper as they should, which is he's great. And I'm not saying, he's going to. Super. He's super.

Oh, super hooper. Oh, yeah. R rhyming. Or is it just super. Super. Super. I put it all in line. Oh, the H is silent. I'm still pronouncing. It's super hooper. It's so silent. You can hear it. Yes. Best teams to start tight ends against, which, you know, this matters a lot. You're streaming them. Cardinals, Buccaneers, Raiders, Colts, Bears. I'm going to throw Jason Whitten out there. Jason Whitten has a nice playoff schedule.

Maybe it's a one-off against the Giants. But tried and true, you're probably not getting goose with Jason Whitten. Toughest teams to stream tight-ins against 49ers, Bills, Patriots, Bengals, Jets. And then some team defense highlights, maybe one of the most important part of this show that I almost skipped, was the team defense schedules Baltimore, Buffalo.

Hopefully you got Baltimore on the waivers today. Yes. Because you're going to be able to hold on to them for the playoffs. But they play Buffalo, the Jets, and Cleveland. Yes, please. The dolphins have a great schedule. No, thank you. I'm not playing the dolphins. Stinks, man, if they could just have some semblance of a defense. They probably have the best schedule, but I could care less. Yeah. But the Eagles, the Eagles defense, they play the Giants and a mistake prone Daniel Jones. They play the Redskins and a mistake.

prone either Keenham or Haskins. Those two weeks are great. You might not want them in week 16 against Dallas, but I'll take two out of three weeks right there. Well, it's the more important weeks. It really is. You might say the championship is the most important, but you don't get to play there if you don't win the first two. You know, I would much rather worry about the first two weeks of the playoffs because then if you get to the championship, I don't know if you know this, you only got to beat one team.

That's true. The math checks out. And the Pittsburgh Steelers also need to be noted. One, because they're just an actual good defense. So good. And so it's not like the Dolphins where the schedule is incredible, but the defense is suspect. The Steelers are good and they are at Arizona, Buffalo, at home, at New York, the Jets. I mean, these are, the Arizona one is, it could be hit or miss, but I guess Buffalo and the Jets, that's fantastic. They'll be just fine against Arizona. Yes.

Put away your blind loyalty in the Chicago Bears defense. They have the worst defensive schedule to end the year. They play Dallas in Green Bay and then Kansas City. I know. They've been dropped on a lot of waivers. I've seen the bears out there. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, the Bears, let me go get them. And then I look at their schedule and I'm like, I don't know if I want to play them over. Like usually there's another option on waivers. Last week I could have grabbed the Bears.

Or I could have grabbed the Saints, and I chose the Saints over the Bears. Yeah, and I've been kind of loyal to the bills, and their defense hasn't really put up a big week in a while. They're 13th on the year, and they've got a rough schedule Baltimore at Pittsburgh, at New England to end the year. Bail out. You've got to move on from them. This is the time of year where I'm rostering two defenses quite frequently in leagues. I'm trying to save Fab, save waiver priority.

get a defense a week ahead. Mike mentioned picking up the Ravens this week because you've got that great end of season schedule. And they, you know, they showed up against New England enough. Yes. They got Jimmy Smith back too and it's changing their defense. So you can't worry about the entire season. So Eagles, Ravens, Steelers looking good. And be careful with the Bears. The Titans defense has a tough matchup over those last three weeks. Yeah. Another.

defense to throw out there as a decent one if you're looking to pick someone up. The Green Bay Packers, who've been better this year, they play Washington the first week of the playoffs, and then Chicago get Trubisky the next week. So, you know, that can get done. Now, Judge Giamati, you're present still, right? You're here? Yes, sir. Can we get these full charts posted into articles on the website? Because that's some people, it's nice to look at this. The end of season schedule makes them your own determinations. Everybody's got.

waiver wires with different teams. So we'll get them published at the fantasy footballers.com. So you guys can see these. Maybe put them out on social today as well. Jason is sighing? I'm just. Tilting. Sorry. I had, well, this, this episode doesn't help because I did, I made my decision on who to drop in the league of record. I drop Terry, Tara McLaurin is out there. Okay. And it sucks. I don't, I'm, I'm, you were backed into such a corner. Like this is not a, like you want, you want Terry to know.
