Week 11 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Deeeeeebo! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/16

Tua is going to start in week 11 against the Jets. It's a right matchup to get him back and has an opportunity, possible streamer there. Ricky Seals Jones day to day with a hip injury according to Ron Rivera. Was that an injured? That was an injured. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, that sounds like your hip hurts. Yeah, it was a hip problem. Miles Sanders eligible to return from injured reserve. Nick Siriani, does he know what he's doing?

Maybe? Every week sounds like, you know how fantasy managers we say we need to be like not hyper reactive, right? You need bigger picture. Every single week that goes by, Nick Siriani sounds like he is. Hyper reactive. Only reacting to what just happened that week. Last week it was Jordan Howard's going to be a fixture in the offense. This week he realized Miles Sanders is coming back and I don't know.

I don't know either. They've run the ball 68% of the time in neutral game scripts. That's the most in football over the last four weeks. It is a situation where there's upside. So either it's Miles Sanders, you can pick him up on the cheap if you think he just gets his job back, which you should. Yeah, but Jordan Howard's there, man. Yeah, it's going to be tough. I mean, Miles Sanders certainly should be picked up despite the fact that he didn't have any.

good fantasy relevant game since week two. The future schedule for the Philadelphia Eagles is outstanding. We've obviously highlighted the championship and playoff schedule, but it's pretty much from here on out. They play the New Orleans Saints in week 11, and that's the only bad match. All right. Any other news we need to get into? Nope. All done? Yep. All right. That was today's news and notes brought to you, of course.

by Sleeper and the Sleeper app, the leader in breaking news alerts. Put me in, coach. All right, waiver time. Very important. There are flex spots to fill. There are some big teams going on the buy, like the Rams, where you have a lot of players that are relevant. Broncos also going on by. Fewer players that are relevant? Yes, yes. I imagine that the bye weeks for Giovante Williams and Melvin Gordon will be identical. They'll do the same exact things.

That is required. But we do welcome back to Bears, Bengals, Giants, and Texans. Let's talk about wide receiver options for your fantasy team. If you're looking for a spot start, if you're looking for somebody heading towards the end of the year, is there a player that is of more concern both in redraft and dynasty than Cortland Sutton right now, where his relevance is, he's had none. Yeah, those games, the small sample with him playing.

alongside Jerry Judy, that sample is getting larger. And we have seen nothing that says Sutton is involved when Jerry Judy's on the field, at least the way that Teddy Bridgewater wants to play it. I mean, how many targets was it last week? Three. Was it three again? Yeah, three targets. And this was a game. It's outrageous. You know, we talked about the week prior when, you know, they were up 30 and nothing on the Cowboys didn't really need to throw the ball a lot. Nobody really had, you know,

awesome passing production. But against the Philadelphia Eagles, a decent matchup while they were down and needing to throw the ball, three total targets, I mean, at some point, you've got to say. This is the kind of thing where you got to move on. You have to try to win this week. Cortland Sutton's probably not going to help you do that. Neither is Chase Claypool. Neither is Marvin Jones. Yeah, certainly not on the buy. So I'm not holding Sutton through the buy.

So Claypool, Marvin Jones, willing to let go of those guys? Redraft leagues. Yeah, I was just a quick dynasty note. Cortland Sutton is a free agent this year. Is he really? Yeah. So hopefully he... That'll be interesting. So hopefully he finds a different place to play football. Yeah, with a quarterback. He needs to go to like an Aaron Rogers style quarterback. I think he would do that. Was that better to stay in Denver then? Oh, I see what you did there. Who knows?

I don't. Is Cortland Sutton got the ability to go in and be somebody else's one? I believe he does. Is that how the market will view him? It's going to be tough. It'll probably be similar to like, you know, when Robinson hit the free agent's market and it was just like, okay, the bears are the ones who are giving you the money. I wonder if they franchise it. I doubt it. Okay. So main waiver wire pickups.

These are some guys that are mostly roster, but worth paying attention to. Kenny Galladay and Cadarious Tony, both players coming back off the by. I'm interested in kicking the tires on both of these players. I think that you could have opportunities for, I guess, a solidified role for...

Both of these guys towards the end of the year? Do you agree? Do you disagree? I do agree. I think coming off of the buy, finally getting some of their assets healthy, including Sequan Barkley, you have an opportunity to see what the Giants' offense can do. Cadarius Tony has looked like the more electric player, but I'm still not convinced that he is going to be put into, you know, that he's going to play enough snaps when the wide receiver core is completely healthy.

I would lean towards Kenny Goliday, even though he's done very little this year. He's been injured the whole season. He played 55% of snaps. Oh. Which, ironically, Cadarius Tony played. Oh, no. Don't do it. So they both played the same amount of snaps. Wait, so did Rashad Bates. Oh, how many? Oh, no.

Okay. They did all play at 55% of the snaps. But yeah, I would prioritize Kenny Gulladay over Cadarious, Tony. Now, Gulladay's rostered in most leagues, but it was the buy week. I think there will be. There's a chance. You know, at least quarter of leagues out there where he is available. Look out for Rashad Bateman. I think it's going to be a strong week for him this week. If he's out there on your roster, eight targets last week, five for 52 looks great. Targeted on 20% of his routes when he's been out there. And we, I mean, I don't think we planned it.

But you start to look at the storylines that we're talking about with rookie wide receivers, what Jason just said about them coming on in the back half of the year. You know, you have Devante Smith, you have Elijah Moore. Now you have Rashad Bateman who, you know, outside of, you look at Dynasty, right? Marr Chase is at the tippy top, right? But then you look at Devante Smith and Rashad Bateman. They're the next two guys, right? I mean, those are the two most that you're most excited about. Yeah, but yeah, it's.

Yes, I'd put them in that order. Other options at the wide receiver position, if you're looking for spot starts or some longevity at the position. The waiver wire is rough this week. Yeah, there's some great running backs if they're available on your waivers. Otherwise, we're getting a little dirtier. I think the two names that I'm looking at. Did you mean wide receivers? No, I was talking about, I'm saying as a total, the waiver wire is very rough this week outside of a couple of.

People probably rostered at running back, but could be big game changers like A.J. Dillon. But at wide receiver, if I need a spot start, there's two names. Neither are exciting, but I think they could have good weeks. It's Donovan People's Jones and Jamal Agnew. Those are the two where if you're talking about guys that are widely available, not obviously I would much rather Bateman or Tony or Kenny Galladay. But those two players, I think, have...

Decent enough matchups have been involved enough recently where if I've got to pick someone up and start them, because, oh, yuck, I've got injuries or bi-weeks or whatever. Right. Are you willing to start Donovan People's Jones or Jamal Agnew? Yes. Donovan People's Jones. I saw a note that in the matchup against the Patriots, they were putting Jackson on Donovan People's Jones in this like the...

The analyst was noting, like, this is a shift of the team defense is viewing Donovan People's Jones as the number one guy for the Cleveland Browns. And it doesn't seem like a good thing. Well, it's, it seems like he's a default number one, but maybe he can't beat that coverage. But Detroit. Yeah, he gets the match. Doesn't Troy. Yeah. Put their number one and number two. That's like, that's like most teams four and five. I'm pretty nervous about starting him and Agnew.

Okay, so then off of this list, which we saw Agnew with the speed. He had five targets and no catches, but he had the huge rushing touchdown. Of this getting down on the dirt, who are you interested in actually picking up and playing? If Darnell Mooney is out there after the by week, I'd be willing to see if this offense is going to make a jump over the back half of the year. Justin Fields turned in his most impressive performance of the season against Pittsburgh. David Montgomery is back into the fold.

Justin Fields has a thing for Darnell Mooney. It's like... Yes, he does. He's hyper-targeted him. He had six targets, a couple touchdowns in this past game. If he's out there, I'm interested in Darnell Mooney. And Baltimore has been giving up big plays. And that's Darnell Mooney's category of choice. You know, outside of him, it is rough. You like Van Jefferson, or do you like Michael Gallup more? Well...

Van Jefferson going on to buy. Obviously, if you need a start, then he's out. I do think Van Jefferson is going to be okay rest of the season. He's not an auto drop to me, so he could be a pickup on the waiver wire. Obviously, if you need a start, Michael Gallup at Kansas City is helpful, right? Kansas City, their offense was back, hopefully, I mean, this game, goodness gracious. The Cowboys and the Chiefs, please.

Please don't disappoint us. We just want 100 points. That's all we want, 100 points. No less, no more. I don't want to be greedy here, but that has the potential to be an outstanding game where Gallup could, you could do worse than putting in even a third option against the Chiefs. I would be willing to chase Marcus Johnson's performance. Yeah, he was a name I wanted to bring up. Over Agnew.

Wide receiver for the Titans. He gets the matchup with the Houston Texans. And if you look over the last three weeks, so you have last week, Julia was out, and then two weeks ago, Julia was out. Marcus Johnson was the one who picked up the slack. And everything can't be A.J. Brown. Someone else is going to be highlighted in this passing attack. Five for a hundred.

this past week and against the Saints, which that's a nice line against the New Orleans secondary, included a big play of a slant route that turned into a huge yak opportunity. And the running backs for the Titans, they wanted to keep the same offense.

But when you lose Derek Henry, you cannot. So I think that Marcus Johnson is very interesting as a spot start. Worth mentioning that Ray Ray Ray and McLeod played 70% of snaps, had 12 targets, nine catches. The Steelers may or may not be with Big Ben this week. Yeah, if Big Ben is back, then Ray Ray Ryan McLeod is meaningless. But you see this sometimes. Really? Because we hadn't seen the non-Clapple. Like, Claypool got knocked out. Right.

I mean, how is he, he's still going to play 70% of snaps. Yeah, I mean, he'll be out there. I guess I just, I assume Deontay Johnson is going to be incredibly hyper-targeted. And Deontay Johnson was, basically, Deontay Johnson was Ray Ray McLeod for Mason Rudolph. And I can't see that. He still saw 13 targets. Deontay saw 13 and Ray, Ray saw 12. Yeah, I mean, maybe it gets better with Big Ben. But I, it's just one of those things where you look at,

Was it the quarterback shift or was it the injury to Claypool? And I think it was more the backup quarterback coming in having practice with the backup wide receiver. We've seen that happen in the past. But there's certainly the chance that it was just he's playing the Claypool snaps and he gets even better with Big Ben. So you can look his way. I would only want to start him without Big Ben personally. Put the Saints wide receivers in order.

They play Philly this week. Last week, you had Marquess Calloway with the touchdown. You had DeLte Harris 3-4-4-4-4-with-the-touchdown. I don't like any of them this week against Philly, who's number four against wide receivers. But I would put him Traquan first because of snaps and targets, then Calloway Harris. Yeah, I suppose I'll just let the snaps dictate it. Deonti Harris is, he's a very interesting player.

And that's disappointing he wasn't on the field a bit more. But I guess it's just, it's really just Drake 1. Running back candidates to drop from your team. Are you cutting bait on Adrian Peterson and Jeremy McNichols? I think you can if one of these other players is out there and you need to pick up and start them this week. Yeah, only if you can upgrade from them to. Would you drop either one for Deonteforman? Yes.
