Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 13 Waivers, Streams of the Week, Mailbag

One of the most important pieces of the show. And I've got to get to it right now. Mike. How's the verification? I've given up. I've given up. Not verified? No, it never, never will be. And that I will, you know what? Oh, are you flipping the script? I like it like that. Oh, right. I'm a renegate. Okay. Yeah.

I can't wait till you're verified. No, it's not going to happen. This is one of those things where he's going to go rebel against it. He's just hoping Twitter is listening. He's going to be glowing and freaking out. Nope. I'm going to, as soon as I. Are you going to deny your own verification? You're darn right. Going to unfollow the at verification person. Oh, my goodness. All right. Let's move on. Put me in, coach. All right. Let's talk waiver pickups for week 13. Remember the Browns and Titans are on by. So.

You don't get to play any of them if you want points. Wide receiver pickups on the waiver wire. Sammy Watkins, still available in over 40% of leagues on ESPN. Far less than Yahoo. About 30% on Yahoo. Went three for 80 in this last game. You have to imagine the snap counts will rise.

for Sammy Watkins. I believe he played something like 45% of snaps. Yeah. That's great production on that snap count. He's the clear must-own here. I mean, if he's on your waivers, there's nobody else that's like him. He is the guaranteed one on his team. He's more talented than all but seven or eight wide receivers in the league. And he's needed for his team right now as Robert Woods and some of the other wide receivers are ailing. Clearly, the guy to pick up.

probably owned in most competitive leagues. But if he's available, unload. All the fab you have on Sammy. Hopefully you follow, you know, us on Twitter because this last week I tweeted out, I saw that he was only owned in 50% of leagues. And I was like, go get him now. What are you doing with your life? I'm going to give you guys some wide receiver names that are owned in under 40%.

uh of leagues and you guys let me know your priority on them and then we'll get into some of the completely unknown guys i like it but uh tyreek hill 26 percent tyler boyd 35 percent quincy and noon was about 40 percent you can kind of get into maybe the will fuller range which is about 45 percent those four guys hill we know three touchdowns big week tyler boyd five for 62 an noon wall was five for one or nine

How would you guys rank these rest of season? You can kind of see their matchups here. I think I'm going to surprise you two here. I'm going to go with Quincy Anunwa as my number one pickup. Hmm.

On the season, he has been good. He had a lull. Sure. No, he had a lull while Ryan Fitzpatrick was stinking it up. But he had a great game last week. And now his schedule going forward. He plays Indianapolis. Oh, yeah. He goes on the road to San Francisco and Miami. That's a winnable matchup. He looked good this last week. I would put him at the top of that list. Who's your top, Mike? The top from those guys, I was actually looking. So I didn't, if you didn't.

I don't know if you mentioned it, but Taylor Gabriel, I think of this list is my top target. Well, we're talking about the four. I'm going to get into the barely owned guys. Oh, I apologize. Of the four guys that were around 40% or less, Hill, Boyd, Anunwa, and Fuller. Which do you like? I'm with Jason on Inunwa, by the way. If he's available in your league,

I love the flash of Hill, but Hill, you're going to need him to make a big play. Yes. I was going to, because I was looking up Hill's snap percentages when you were talking. And I mean, even this monster game, this last week, he was only in and about 68% of snaps. He's in a low volume offense. Yes, he's Tyreek the freak, Mystique, Shishik, whatever. You can go on and on. But when Jeremy Macklin was playing.

He's a guy who was getting on the field for less than 30% of the snaps. We don't know if Jeremy Macon will be back. But if he is, I think you immediately relegate Tyreek Hill to a lower snap percentage. He can give you those big plays. But the guy I was talking about, like Taylor Gabriel, who is going to be a lower percentage snaps, but a freak athlete, I'll take the one who's on the high-powered offense over Tyreek Hill. I would rate out of those four. I'd go in Noonwall Hill and then Boyd Fuller.

I would go to Nunwa Boyd Hill Fuller. Yeah, for me, I, you know, I understand what you're saying about Macklin, but with certain players when they're young and they break out, you're not going to go back to the relegated snap percentages. You don't do that to a weapon. You don't take a guy who's slowly breaking out. Sure. And then you get weapons back and he just isn't on the field anymore. So I, and his matchups are great. Atlanta, Oakland, Tennessee.

for the next three weeks. So for me, that makes him the second guy behind a noon walk. So here's a guy that people are going to wonder. We've talked about these guys that are owning 40% of leagues. Now, where does in that list Marquise Wilson fit into YouTube? With the 8 and 125 that you put up last week. 8 for 125. Matt Barkley looked surprisingly competent. You have a team in the Chicago Bears that are pretty much almost guaranteed a game script like this.

every game where they're going to have to just keep throwing the ball in the second half to play keep up. I mean, the team is just decimated by injuries. Look at those matchups too. Oh, yeah. San Francisco, Detroit, Green Bay, Washington. I mean, that's an incredible schedule happening for Marquis Wilson. He's a guy who, I think he is a, he's pretty close to a must pick up for me. I don't know if I'm going to play him right away, but.

You wonder if, possibly even San Francisco. So Eddie Royal only had one catch. You had Cam Meredith only had two. Bellamy had four. And then Wilson had this big game. You have to wonder if you're seeing that backup backup. I was going to say the third quarterback goes to the third wide receiver. Yeah. And I agree he's probably a must pick up because this kind of a production.

Maybe they have that connection. I'm still not, you know, it could still be Meredith next game. He could still be Bellamy or Royal next game. But I would say he's worth a flyer for sure. Other guys barely owned, Taylor Gabriel. He's obviously a huge thing. I like him. Malcolm Mitchell? Yeah, and Malcolm Mitchell, I talked about him. Great offense. As the rising star, he is still behind Hogan. But like Andy was saying, if a young player, if they're starting to break out.

And Malcolm Mitchell could be that guy for the Patriots. They like him. Tommy B. loves himself Malcolm Mitchell. We saw Brandon LaFelle be very successful in that role for the Patriots offense. So if Malcolm Mitchell, he's a must pick up for me. I don't know if I'm playing him this particular week, but he's a must pick up. Watch what they're doing with his snap percentages. Because for your playoffs, if all of a sudden he usurps Chris Hogan, he becomes that weekly must play wide receiver three.

If these guys are available in your league, some last names at wide receiver, if for some reason they're there, Kenny Britt, another good game, he's only available in about 40% of leagues. Devante Parker currently only available in about 38% of leagues, only 25% on Yahoo, but if Devante Parker's there, he had a touchdown overturn, still had a decent game.

I think those are the big names to mention right now. We said it earlier, but since we're talking about our receivers, Doriel Green Beckham, I think he should be picked up as well. I expect he will be the one. Let me ask you this. Were you impressed with Carson Wentz last night? I'm impressed with his running ability. I think Carson Winst has impressed me on the season as a whole for what my expectations were for a rookie, but he doesn't strike me as...

a guy this season that's going to be able to put up prolific fantasy numbers for him or for his other wide receiver targets. Okay. Let's talk about some running backs. A huge disappointment. Last night was Wendell Smallwood. Yeah. Are you still signing him on waiver? Yeah. I'm still going to sign him because there is production to be had for the Philadelphia Eagles running backs. And you just don't know who it's going to be. And I really thought it would be Wendell Smallwood.

We saw the prime opportunity of Wendell Smallwood on the one. And all they had to do was just, just tap it in. Just tap it in. Instead, they run this play action pass and Wenz has to scramble all over the place, eventually sneaks it in himself, just, just poorly handled.

by Doug Peepson. I love it. I love that it's poorly handled. They scored a touchdown. I knew that. I was going to make fun to you and you went even further to say how bad that play was. Oh, no, no, no. Such a bad touchdown. The play on the field was great. Just saying it was poorly handled by Doug Peters and just tap it in. Doug Peterson. Tap it in with your fantasy player. All right. Yeah, the one that was on my roster. Of course. Before we get into the rest of running backs, want to thank our sponsor of Vast. Look, I.

And we also want to tell you about Indochino. Remind everyone,

about these incredible suits at Indochino. Even though you don't feel good, you can look good. Is that what you're saying?

I, you know, I should have came in in my endocino suit. You would have felt like a million bucks. I do. I feel like a million bucks when I wear my endocino suit. I, I, look, I have a couple of suits. You know, every, every guy out there needs a suit for whatever occasion it is. Even me. Even your own fantasy funeral. Yeah. Come on. So you need a suit, you know, whether it's, you know, to go to work in, if that's your job, or, you know, to go to the wedding, to go to the funeral, to go to whatever.

But the difference between buying a suit off a rack that doesn't fit you and getting a tailored custom-made suit is incredible. I had no idea until I got this suit. I've never had clothes fit me apparently correctly.

Uh, the Indochino suit, it was absolutely, it's so easy to get. It's so easy to get fit right. You can visit Indochino.com or drop by any one of their nine North American showrooms. You pick from hundreds of fabrics and patterns. You can customize every, every piece of it. You submit your body measurements and you kick back, relax, and you get the best most stylish suit.
