Week 15 Waivers & QB Streamers, Kenneth Dinker

Cincinnati's defense was awful, minus two. Carolina last week, just five points. I just think traveling to Denver's tough against Von Miller and Chubb, but I think Atlanta is a better play. It's certainly not to say that Denver can't have an amazing game. Baker can throw a pick six. He's riskier. To face Baker is risky. Yes, but if you want to tell me one of those teams is going to end up with negative points and just crush your playoffs because I got negative two for my defense, it ain't going to be Atlanta.

That's for sure. The Cardinals are not going to shock in awe the Falcons, you know, especially now that platforms have gotten away from defensive scores counting against your defense. So if Matt Ryan throws a pick six, at least we know on ESPN their platform now won't count that against Atlanta's defense. I mean, who scores more? Genuine question. Arizona's offense or Arizona's defense?

It's close. Sure. Yeah. Yeah, let's move on. Full stream ahead. All right. Streaming quarterback time, Jason. I see the name you've brought up, and I like it. I like it a lot. Who do you got this week? This is, look, at this time of year, we're not going deep into the waiver wire where you need someone that's only 2% owned. Dak Prescott is owned in a lot of leagues right now.

probably yours. He is a worthy start this week, is kind of the point. He's still available out there on a lot of waiver wires. Andy, I know you are picking him up to play defense against other opponents or trying to. And I mean, that's good information for everybody. If your opponent needs someone, this is the time where you need to look to your waiver wire and look at your opponent and say,

Man, they've got a bad matchup. They need a quarterback. There's a lot of quarterbacks out there. Scoop them up, keep them away. Going to Indianapolis, Indianapolis, you know, I think Dallas's defense has been great, but they're traveling on the road against Andrew Luck. I think Andrew Luck throws a couple touchdowns. Dak needs to keep pace. I like Dak a lot this week. I've got the he's got legs crowd.

I've got Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson if he plays. Josh Allen's only 14% owned. Talked about him last week. I said the momentum's going to build on Josh Allen. I think you can stream him. I think there are situations. Let me ask you a genuine question. Tom Brady's Tom Brady. Maybe you don't got the guys to do this. Tom Brady's got to travel into Pittsburgh this week. You want to play Tom Brady into Pittsburgh or do you want to play Josh Allen against Detroit? Yeah, it's going to be Brady. Okay. Just make it sure.

But I won't be surprised if Josh Allen has a better week than Tom Brady. Pittsburgh needs the win. Pittsburgh's defense is good. I can't really blame me for playing Tom Brady. But there are some matchups that are questionable. Would you rather play Josh Allen this week against Detroit or Baker Mayfield on the road against Denver? I would rather play Josh Allen. I mean, Josh Allen so far has, you know, he was the number four quarterback three weeks ago, the number two quarterback two weeks ago. And what was he like top 10 this last week? I mean, he's been great.

A couple other names to just throw out. Marcus Marietta? Mario, look. I think he's a good play this week. I do, too. He's been very good. This last week he had a terrible game. But that wasn't his fault. That was Derek Henry's fault. Derek Henry was too darn good. Derek Henry scored four touchdowns and ran for 238 yards. It's hard to score on a drive when you're running back goes 99 yards for a touchdown.

Mario da couldn't do much on that drive. He should have shovel past all those. Yeah, that would have been nice. Seriously, a little tap pass. Go, Derek. Go there. The four weeks prior, Mariotta was the number eight, number seven, number six, number seven quarterback. It's worth noting he's out there. And then, of course, Lamar Jackson, if he gets the start. What about Joe Flacco if Joe Flacco gets, if he gets the first start? No, no, no, no, no way. No way. No.

I mean, there have been a lot of times when Joe Flacco has gotten the start as the quarterback of Baltimore. And most often when you ask me that question, I would be like, why are you asking me that question? And the reason I would, my answer would be because Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah, but Tampa, they showed up on defense a little bit last week. They threatened the Saints. Drew Brees, terrible game against Tampa last week. I'm not going to play Joe Flacco coming off an injury where he could go off and somebody else can come in. No way.

Okay, that's fair. Okay. So I think that's it for our streaming quarterbacks. I'm going with Josh Allen. You go with DAC. Dak fire. Look, Mari Cooper has changed the script. So if you're looking at DAC this week, Jason, last question on this, Dak or Matt Ryan against Arizona? Matt Ryan's in that top five per game.

Yeah, I think I would go DAC. I mean, Matt Ryan might not have to do much. Arizona's terrible against the run. Maybe Tevin Coleman can actually get it going. Currently, I've got them back to back in my rankings with DAC one spot higher. I realize they didn't quiz you on the quarterbacks, Jason. Oh, no. Patrick Mahomes. I bet you're going to guess him. No, he's not in the top five. He's above that. Pat Mahomes and then name the next four. Points per game at the quarterback position on the season. Can you name them?

I would have to think Drew Breeze. He's at five in our league format. Is it on a per game basis? Correct. Cam Newton? No. He's at six. Andrew Luck? Yes. Philip Rivers? No, he's at seven. Big Ben? Yes, number two. Big Ben's a number two quarterback this year. That makes sense. He's been great. If he plays, he's great. Matt Ryan is the last one. That's weird.

He just had so many incredibly hot games early on. Yeah. Yeah. So it's going to be a fun week. It's going to be exciting. Good luck to every Foot Clan owner out there who's still competing. Brooks, your team is so good. It's destined to win the dynasty title. Oh, you're just the best, Brooks. I did want to bring that up. Right now, Brooks is on one side of the bracket. I'm on the other side of the bracket. Brooks's team is so good. He knows he's already pretty much locked it down. So I wanted to congratulate Brooks. You've been going around.

Talking about how his team's pretty much unbeatable. So congratulations, Brooks. That's such thing. Pre-congratulations to Brooks? Yes. It's one of the strategies that we take as fantasy owners is you can kind of jinx your opponent by pre-congratulating them. Yeah. Not having it. Scientifically proven. I have purchased congratulations cards and even put money in it. I believe I gave you one of those cards once, Andy. Yeah. Well, you can do that for me.

Oh, so he is claiming his victory. You heard it here first. Brooks is a price. Brooks wanting the congratulation card. With the money. He wants the money. Yeah, that was what, that's why. It was a dollar, to be fair. That's true. I want to remind everybody as we close the show about Omaha Steaks. This holiday season is in the gift of Omaha Steaks. Go to Omaha Steaks.com.
