potential, a potential to all of a sudden become a target that's used and win that happens, he could break big games and score big points. That's a guy I would love to stash maybe. But how do you stash at this point? Because that would be my question about him. You're not, unless you're in a dynasty league, like how can you feel confident from a fantasy perspective putting Devante Parker into a playoff line? Let's say I grab him right now and this week he comes out and gets six catches for 78 yards.

Then the following week, after two back-to-back weeks with Rashad Matthews still injured, I'm absolutely fine putting him out there. And they have a solid matchups coming up, the Dolphins. So they got Baltimore this week, the Giants the following week, the Chargers, and then the Colts in Championship Week 16. So they have a string of games where you can succeed. If they just put him in Rashad Matthews role, I think he outperforms what Matthews did, and he was a startable guy.

Yeah, but we haven't seen it. So I guess depending on your need and your risk aversion, I mean, I'd rather start Stevie Johnson, Kamar Aiken. I'd rather start Doug Baldwin than Devante Parker. But I'm not saying you're wrong that he could become that. It's just so late in the season. I would have loved to see this happen three weeks ago and be the O'Dale Beckham, and maybe he could still do that. To your point, I don't know if six for 78's going to talk me into starting him, but if he came out and he caught eight balls for 165 and two touchdowns, all of a sudden you're like,

Okay, I'll just rush him in there because of the talent and opportunity. So it's a good point, and he's the most upside of any of these guys by far. So another guy worth mentioning, Doug Baldwin, I just said his name, six for 145, three touchdowns. Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson is on roll. Yeah. There's no other way to put it. He's on fire. He's on fire. Well, we'll go, you got to go to the NBA Jam rules. So he's got two, so he's heating up. He's heating up. Does he catch fire?

against the Vikings this week in Minnesota? No. No. I don't think so. I do think Doug Baldwin is a good pickup as much because Jimmy Graham is gone as the heating up of Russell Wilson. With Jimmy Graham gone, that's just more targets going elsewhere, I don't expect them to go to Luke Wilson at the same type and variety. Don't you mean Luke Wilson? That was funny. We couldn't. So we're putting our dock together.

yesterday and we wanted to look up Luke Wilson's stats and we're looking through our ESPN and we can't find it. We're like, does someone have him on a roster? He's a matrix and he was out of the system. He's nowhere to be found and that's because apparently Luke Wilson spells his name with two L's. Who spells Wilson with two L's? Luke. Yeah. His parents. There you go. His parents as well. Yeah, I didn't expect it. I had the same thing happen when I was putting some preliminary rankings together. I couldn't find him

anywhere last night and eventually noticed that he was in there. So we'll talk about him. The last guy I want to mention is Ty Montgomery from Green Bay. He's still hurt. We're not sure if he's going to play. But I believe, well, I'm just saying that the opportunity will be there when he's back. The team has. Desperate. DeManta Freeman stinks.

Freemian Adams. Adams. We've moved past Freeman. Wow. Wow. I want to give both of those quotes where you say it and you say it and you both put them together. The team has gotten to the point. You even had McCarthy coming out and it's basically saying Devante Adams, you stink. So if Montgomery is back, it wouldn't surprise me in the next couple games to see him overtake Adams. It's a long shot for sure, but maybe you're in that situation where that's what you need.

All right, running backs, the number one guy, David Johnson. David Johnson. He was eight for 21 and a touchdown, two for eight through the air. One of the things I like about David Johnson is he is a bona fide pass-catching running back. The Cardinals win. They had Chris Johnson and Ellington involved. They would bring Johnson in and run him on wheel routes for touchdowns. They run him on wheel routes for important plays. He can catch the ball out of the backfield and the workload's going to be very good for them. So talk about his, how much.

Do you blow on him right now? I mean, everything. Everything. I mean, what's, I was talking to Jason about this. It has been madness. Pure fantasy madness. The amount of running backs who are, spend your entire budget on that guy where you had Char West who was, he wasn't in everything, but he was spend a good amount because he has a great opportunity. Then you had DeAngelo Williams, who has been great. Rawls.

Rawls, Buck, Allen, and now David Johnson. I mean, I believe this is why people like the zero running back strategy, because running backs are going to get hurt. But I'm trying to remember, I don't recall chaos like this where top-level running backs were approaching. We're not talking about a guy from the...

I can't think of a team right now, but a running back of running back where situations like eh. Right. He'll be a running back low end to... Like Alfred Blue this year. That's a good example, right? Because you would have spent a few bucks on him, you wouldn't have spent your whole fat budget. Where David Johnson, high-powered offense, high-powered player, spark scores, just freak athlete. I don't know if it's still the case, but there was a time this year where he was the fastest measured player.

in the NFL on a single play. On his kickoff return. I got trivia time for you. It's going to be real easy. What play? David Johnson. You are correct. I'll just say it then. David Johnson right now of all running backs in the league has the most fantasy points per attempt. When he touches the ball? When he touches the ball, he has the most fantasy points per touch. So how responsible do you feel for the injuries to?

Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington, because we've... The running David Johnson refrain through the entire season... The Reaper has come! It's only appropriate, right, that the kind of...

culmination of the entire season is now in the hands of David Johnson out of nowhere. It's not just us. There's a lot of other experts who really like David Johnson. I'm pretty sure we're the only ones that sing about him. No, that's definitely not true in the sense that when you say we're the only ones, yes, if you're including the Foot Clan. But I get tweeted every time David Johnson touches the ball.

They're singing David Johnson. It's just funny, though. It's just funny that we're here in week 13, and David Johnson is ultra-relevant again. I am so happy that you guys have no fab money. Yeah, that would be, well, speaking of another guy to spend some fab on, maybe, it's going to depend on practice reports, but let's move on to Spencer Ware. This guy has been...

ultra-efficient. Last week had a huge game in limited work. This past week, 19 for 114 and a touchdown. I've said this before, Kansas City runs more touchdowns in than any team in football. So what do we do with Spencer Ware? Because he is a tough situation. Yeah, his relevance is reliance on Char West. If Char West is going to miss. And they play the Raiders this week. Oh, delicious. But if Char West is back.

uh unfortunately i i think that where where has to have have earned playtime when char west is back so you've kind of got now you have two guys where sharkandrick west was getting just all the volume uh before he went down with the hamstring so even when he comes back i think that where is going to eat into his could be like a forte langford situation yeah exactly so but but where if west is out

Again, which I haven't read anything positive about his hamstring as of yet. He's still a great ad. Yeah, I could see him starting and getting the whole workload this week. A great short-term ad. Yeah, short-term ad. But obviously, if you are the West owner and Spencer Waiters out there, you got to bid a lot and grab him because while he's gone, you've got a stud. All right. What about Sean Drone? The only running back.

So for the 49ers, the only running back in football this year to take every single snap from the running back position through an entire game, 15 for 51, 5 for 35 through the air, pulling the Darren McFadden stat lines for the 49ers. Ultimate stinky fantasy trash. Stinky volume play. This is what you want. If I'm looking for a long-term solution, I have drawn ahead of where. Because he just, like you said, every snap. The San Francisco.

They say no one else on our team is good enough to bypass. And honestly, he's looked okay. Like on the game film, he's looked kind of fast. Absolutely, I agree that he does pass an eye test. And just the volume of checkdowns from Blaine Gabbard is just so tremendous that you can't overlook it. I was able to get him, I mean, you had the chaos last week of waiver ads. And in a very competitive league, I snugs drawn.

for zero dollars onto my team. It was fantastic. And I'm very excited for that moving forward, just like I think everyone else should be, you don't like it. You aren't going to be happy about putting him in your... He's the vegetable. Yeah, exactly. He's a vegetable on your plate. I love it. He's a fantasy vegetable that is going to make your team healthy. Yeah, Julio might be the steak, but you need some vegetables on your plate. That is... That's my...

Maybe my favorite analogy. And then you follow it up with some dirty cake. Jeremy Macklin back again, baby. Gross. All right. I'm going to throw out some more running back names. You guys tell me who you like. But these are some guys on the radar for the waiver wire. Theo Riddick, Amir Abdullah, Alfred Morris, had a good game. Alfred Blue, so both Alfreds. Jay Haji, I don't know why that's so comical to me that I have two Alfreds on the team. But...

Anybody there that you're really excited about? I mean, is Abdullah back on the radar? Are we back in the... Is this the beginning of the season again? Abdullah David Johnson? It could be. Abdullah is... He's getting the workload. I mean, 16 carries. Yeah, we are very slowly warming up the express right now. The Abdullah Express. I got about 50 posters I need to send out once he starts playing well. Shulling snow out of the way in front of it. I mean, the Abdullah Express.

was in the station just covered in cobwebs and dust and spiders. And we're rolling it out. We got the gate half open here for the Abdullah Express. I mean, you want to know what the problem is. 16 for 63? The problem for Abdullah is theoretic. Yes. And the problem for theoretic is Abdullah. They just, it seems like, you know, one of them is getting all the carries. If we could get the machine.

from the movie The Fly. You guys familiar with The Fly? Oh, yeah. We put Abdullah and Reddick in the same machine. Ooh. And we come out with... A guy that can both... Abdula Ramir. Then we have the... We have an ultimate running bag. So if you can only grab one of these guys, which one would you prefer to have on your team? The pass catcher or the... Honestly, it's Reddick. Yeah, exactly. Standard, it's Abdullah. Of all those guys, I think, honestly, I would rather have Alfred Blue right now. Alfred Blue...

He's not sexy. We talked about him a minute ago. He's a guy like, eh, you know, he got, when Aaron got injured, don't rush out to get him. He's like a good fantasy radish. Yeah, yeah. He doesn't provide that many vitamins for your team. Not that nutritious. You know, but he is clearly the guy that's being used there. He's getting volume. He gets the goal on work. So, you know, to me, I'm not super excited about any of those guys. But if Alfred Blue's out there, he's worth being on a team. And for Morris, it's.

Just as of now, it seems like he is the starting running back. Washington, again, proves that they just have no idea what they're doing of spinning round and round. The Matt Jones fumbles have forced the hand of Morris to be back in and be the guy. Well, they're the division leader. They're going to be fighting rest of season. That's one thing we know about Washington. Is they're going to be competing? And they've got a Monday night game against the Cowboys without Tony Romo. So it's a very winnable game.

One guy I should mention, if you haven't done it already, handcuff your Lamar Miller with Jay Ajay if he's available in your league, because they might go to a more hot-hand approach with higher volume there, and you just want to have them on your team. I agree. That was my next point, was I think Ajai needs to be added for Miller, not just Miller owners, but he is a great speculative ad, in my opinion. I kind of got that bubble guts, uh-oh feeling for Lamar Miller, where the dolphins might just...

completely look to the future. I talked about this yesterday. Free agent. And Lamar Miller is a free agent. We're not hearing anything about them, resigning him. So Dynasty Leagues, Jay Jad Jai, Dynasty Keeper League should be on your roster regardless because... He's already rostered in Dynasty, but... Well, okay. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I mean, like a Keeper League, if you hold over two or three guys for the next season, you might want to add him the same way you'd add Rawls. I mean, obviously Rawls has relevance now. But those type of guys that looking into next season might be starting running backs.
