Fantasy Football - Week 5 Waivers & Streamers + Trade Jealousy - Podcast for 9/30

>> this season is torched. Why would you burn out? This isn't like oh we're going to use up a running back cuz he's not on our roster next year. No, he's a part of your plan. Why would you burn him to the ground and not see if Kendra Miller can actually do something? Kendra Miller is free from the shackles of Dennis Allen who just hated him. And >> he's actually healthy, which is >> I get the frustration. Kendry Miller, Kendry Miller was always always hurt, but we've seen multiple flashes from Kendra Miller that he has juice. He was a prospect I loved coming out of uh TCU.

He was hurt when he was drafted. >> Catch the football. >> Yeah. So, I'm I'm with you that Kendra Miller is a lower cost player that I would like to get on my bench and see what happens over the Giants and the Patriots. >> Would you rather Chicago next? >> Kendra Miller. So, >> he's interesting. >> One guy who I think is not is pretty similar, but he's much lower in our rankings. Blake Cororum has looked pretty good, has been getting more and more involved, is eating into the Kairen Williams workload. I don't think either Kendra Miller or Blake Cororm is really going to be someone you

want to start while the other two are while while the starters are healthy. >> But if both starters went down, >> we would much rather have Blake Cororm >> Yeah. >> than we would Kendra Miller just because of the offense, the Rams, uh, quarterback. So, I think he is one of those he's still available in 70% of leagues. and as an insurance running back option, he is he's like near the S class tier of the insurance. >> Yeah, that that makes perfect sense. I am curious. One of the funniest situations this week to me in the waiverwires is like Kenneth Gwell had

the monster week he's going on by I I think you can like if you have him you could probably even >> drop him. Yeah, >> you could probably drop him to get somebody. >> It's really crazy. I was a weird one, right? We didn't have him on our rank rankings at first for our wavewire because he's going on by and then and then Jaylen Warren the starter will be there. So I mean he should be rostered as an insurance option. We just saw that he was you know good in that role but you don't really need an insurance back on buy.

>> And so people are going to spend on on Gainwell like in in every league there will be money dropped on on Gainwell if he's available. I don't think our recommendation is that it should be yours. Save your money. I I I think you can add him. I wouldn't be dropping huge amounts of fab it because I presume that Jaylen Warren once the by-week is is done he will be healthy but >> yeah he was close to playing. >> Yeah, that's what it sounded like and then he was inactive. I'm we don't have a ton of news on what the injury even is

and how substantial it is. So if I had gain well, I mean like for Woody Marks or Rashad White, maybe Demarcado, otherwise I would just leave. >> He's not a much drop by any means, but if there are bigger names that are available that you could roster that could help you now, it it would be worth it. And we have a lot more names at the running back position on the website. >> So if you you know, if if all these guys are taking in your league and you want deeper options, go to the fancy footballers. We got a free rankings tool

for waiverss. We've got one where if you uh are part of the Footland, it can look at your league and tell you who's available. Um and that's getting a >> Yeah, it already got an upgrade. So, yeah, we we actually have rest of season rankings that are brand new to the Footclan uh you know, the Footclan perks. And then we have an updated waiverwire tool where we've we've made it so that it will flag any highv value players that aren't in our waiverss list. So, your leagues are going to have a little more specific information in them. So, those of you already in there,

check it out. Those that aren't, join the foot.com. There's nothing worse when then when waiverss run and you're like that dude was on w you know you missed the guy and you're like I wish now you can't miss him. Footland.com. >> Um all right we yeah you can check those out drop candidates Isaiah Pacheco he's right on the edge. Um, but I I probably wouldn't drop a running back personally, but maybe [laughter] I I think >> Hunt is high on my list of if you need someone for right now, >> yeah, >> you can add him and play him. >> I mean, Pacheco, Chase Brown, those are

people people are frustrated. >> I'm not dropping Chase Brown. He's >> Nick Chub. Would you drop Nick Chub? >> I would not drop Nick Chub after one week. >> But if you had to drop him for Woody Marks, I would. Yeah, >> if that's I would drop PCO for Kareem Hunt, like Mike said. >> Oh, man. if I had to have one >> wide receivers. Um, what do we do in the absence of my new keeper, Malik Neighbors? >> Well, there are, >> you know, it it it is it hurts cuz Jason, it it happened all because of you. >> It happened because of me and I I

probably today would have gone and made some offers. >> Yeah. You just >> But I can't believe he just unloaded him. He could have got I promise you half the league would have maybe not half but a quarter of the league would have given more than that and he could have gotten more but you just you came in first and you came in first because of me >> because of you. Yeah, you're why I have Woody Marks, too. >> Well, I credit you for that. >> Okay. Yeah, I did take a shot. >> Hey, you stop helping Andy. >> I It is my job to help people in fantasy

football, Mike. >> Uh for the Giants. >> Yes, Slayton. I think it's an in an interesting discussion of yeah Darius Sllayton and Wandel Robinson. Robinson had the that one boom game which so he is still rostered in in over 64% of leagues. Um but it was just that one game this past week with Jackson Dart. He was three for 14. It was same old Wale and Darius Sllayton on the evening he ended up let me pull it up three for 44. I I think I want Sllayton over Robinson. It It's really tough. I Darius Sllayton will probably be cheaper. Um I don't

think people are going to go too hard after him. Wandelle, if you're in a PPR league, I still think will have more targets, more receptions. They're they're usually more hollow short area yardage. That's like his thing he's done for his entire career minus a game or two. Um, so yeah, if you want the upside of, hey, someone is really helpful for fantasy, it's probably going to be Sllayton over Wandale. But if you're in a deep full PPR league, that's where Wale would be better. But Wondale's also already rostered in majority league. >> Darius Sllayton just he keeps doing this. It's like a bad penny.

>> What's >> like he the Giants can't they've wanted to get rid of him for an extension now. >> They've wanted him to be rid of Darius Sllayton and he just keeps producing when they need him to. So fab on those two guys. >> Not real aggressive, I don't think. >> Would you spend more on Romeo Dobs or do you I mean he's going on buy. >> He's going into a buy, >> but still long long term I would rather have Romeo Dobs. >> Yeah, >> that one's tough only because it's like, >> you know, an interest I don't want to

take anything away from Romeo Dobs. I completely want to How do I respect Romeo Dobs but tell you that I don't really buy in? How do I do that? >> I think you just did. You said you respect him but you don't buy in >> because he had equal opportunities the previous three weeks, right? wasn't valuable in fantasy. This is going to be more the the Packers experience. It's going to be a craft week, a golden week, a Doss week, a Wix week, a Jacobs week. >> And I'll tell you what, that's the >> I'll tell you what, it's not going to

usually be a 40 to 40 game. You know what I mean against the Dallas Cowboys on on prime time >> going to buy like five fab for him? >> Do you think he is getting the targets because it's easier to see him >> with that guardian cap? >> That has made me laugh. >> Just like, oh, there he is. just I want to get a bigger and bigger guardian cap with just >> that's what savior >> I like Wale a little bit more personally for what for what I think uh Wale more than Dobs and Well more than Sllayton because uh I think what Jackson Dart's

going to do in this offense is really pick his spots use the legs low passing volume don't know how many deep shots yet that we're going to see and I know Wandell's so capable in the intermediate and short area targets that I feel more confident there >> I think another player that is uh he's still available in the majority of leagues and is a Great pickup. And Mike, you've been saying, "Don't drop this guy." And I believe you were right. >> Oh, yeah. Hit it. >> I'm still in the metrics behind it. You're >> still in. >> Yeah. I mean, he had two missed

humongous opportunities. One was a bad drop. The other he probably still could have caught it, but it was an underthrown ball. Deep shots. Really, really valuable stuff. Take those away, which he, you know, he didn't have. He still was. He had 55 yards on the game. He had eight targets. >> Who has He's currently Who has more targets right now? >> Super. The number one paid Courtland Sutton or Troy Franklin. >> I see through your tricks. It's a tie. >> It is a tie. >> Yeah. 27 each. >> That's the point. >> Yeah. Is >> Well, Mims had a really big day, too.

>> He did. He did. But I I buy more into the Troy Franklin is on the field and we'll be more of a steady getting those targets. >> That is if targets matter. Again, lots of drop candidates at wide receiver. By the way, see all of the wide receiver rankings. Don't forget on the waiver rankings on the website the fantasyfooters.com. Drop candidates. Calvin Ridley. He has been the wide receiver 60 56 78 and 66. >> And and his his snaps are going down. >> He doesn't look good. And Cam Moore doesn't look good. >> No, I I would drop him.

>> Allegedly, he was banged up this past week. >> Well, that makes sense cuz he he went 95% of snaps. 86 87 this last week 54% of snaps. >> Re let's flip it on its head. If Calvin Ridley were on the Waverwire, would you have any excitement to go pick him up? Not excitement. >> I would I I my roster right now, which is a 500 roster in our league of record, I would not >> I'd rather have Troy Franklin on my bench than Calvin Rogers. >> I agree. >> Um other candidates that are out I mean Jerry Judy, >> Travis Hunter,

>> man, >> I mean people are saying asking about T. Higgins. >> Wow. T. Higgins has been the wide receiver 59 27 92 62. >> T. Higgins did have a 37yder >> that got called back. >> Is that Is that because their line held? >> Yeah, I'm sure >> that makes I don't remember what the only chance to throw 27 yards. >> The only way that you can give your quarterback enough time to get the ball downfield is to hold. I mean, so Jerry Judy, Minnesota, Pit, Miami, Patriots coming up. >> I think that's fine. This week is harder, but

>> I don't think I would drop. >> You can't drop someone who's had eight or more targets in three of his for >> I think the targets will be better. >> And Tilman is out for multiple weeks. >> Oh, that's a great point. >> I think we missed one name. >> Okay, one name that I is it's mostly Ross >> to drop or add. >> Just a just check. >> Okay, a peak. This is where the upgraded waiver wire tool on the site's going to help a lot. Take a peek at digs. Okay, look at Stefon Digs over he had a 100

plus yard game for the first time this season. Had six receptions. The >> snap count was the highest of the year. >> Just take a little peaksy because he's been dropped in some leagues. probably still rostered in four-fifths of your leagues, but you can have a peak and the uh we can't move on without with Malik Washington for Miami and that situation uh with Tyreek Hill done for the season. Malik is an he was a very interesting prospect. He was buried behind Tyreek and Jaylen Wadd this year though he was starting to get on the field more. Do you have

any interest there? I'm concerned about the name because Malik and Tyreek both got hurt. >> He's another Malik. >> Oh, I see what you mean. >> I'm afraid deep. >> Okay. But if he didn't get hurt, >> um I I think he's a really good player. I I think they'll try to utilize him, but I don't know if he's at the tippy top of my list. >> No, most of the guys we brought up I would rather have over him, especially with Darren Waller kind of emerging as a potential other target. You still have uh West Burk Ain on the roster as well.

>> Just 48%. >> He's more proven than Malik Washington. >> Even though Tyreek was gone for the majority of it. I I don't know. I think >> Yeah. At what point did Tyreek get hurt? Tyreek played 41%. >> Yeah. I I think Malik is a fine cursory ad to see what happens. If you want to see how the >> offense settles in, that that's fine. That doesn't bother me at all. I think it makes sense. So, we'll take a break. We'll talk about some tight ends, defenses, and give you our streaming quarterback candidates. [music] This episode is brought to you by NFL

Well, the uh you know, right now Woody Marks is sitting at top most waverwire lists, but if you >> as you should >> need a tight end, which so many do amazingly, spectacularly, >> we are so back. >> He He might go for more money on the waiverss just because people really do need tight ends >> and the name. >> Yeah,

>> just the familiarity with dominance, >> the combination of everything. the the need, the name, the loss of Tyreek, and the two touchdowns. It's like, oh, okay, we've got a a new contender. >> Yeah, I I think he's worth a pretty aggressive spend, honestly, just at the chance that he's super relevant for your for your roster. Let I had to move neighbors into my IR right there. >> Um, we have Darren Waller. Are you interested in taking a shot on Theo Johnson at all because the quarterback's changed in New York? Theo Johnson, the the young tight end, had a touchdown,

three for 17. >> Mason Taylor, another rookie. >> Yeah, I >> like when you go beyond Darren Waller, where are you? >> I think >> Tonis Mc Basketball. >> Um, sounds like >> I don't remember his first name. Jake. >> No one knows. >> Jake Tis, I don't know. >> No one knows. >> Uh, I think that is Jake. >> I think I might prefer Mason Taylor to Theo. But that's a that's a tossup right there. >> Honestly, Tommy Trimble is a guy that um >> he would be a spot start though. Yes. While Jatavian is out just while Jatavian is out, Jatavian was starting

to become someone that was like, "Hey, we can we can start him. You know, uh Legette's been injured and Javian Sanders was a young tight end kind of emerging with him out of the way." Now it's like Jatavian was still competing with Tommy Trimble. Now Tommy Treble's by himself. He had eight targets this last game. So if if you you know I would put a waiverwire like a free $0 bid on uh Tommy Treble if you don't have a good option. >> You're cutting Nooku for any of those guys. >> Not with this Tilman injury like that that I mean for Waller sure I would take

the shot because there's potential upside. I've got Njoku in several leagues on my bench and I would I was totally ready to drop him. But now with Tilman being out because right now the problem is Fannon, Tilman, Njoku and Judy have been splitting all these targets and it's just been one guy too many. And with Tilman out of the way, I think maybe Fannon and Njoku need another shot. >> And under Darren Waller, my my number two would be Brenton Strange though as he is accumulating targets. He hasn't done he hasn't had a like a breakout game, but you know, three games, 45
