Week 13 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Big Shimmy Returns - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/30

Oh, wow. Yeah, I mean, things have bounced that way where, you know, Kyle Pitts lost Calvin Ridley over the top. Pat Firemuth lost Eric Ebron as competition. It's been, you got a taste of what Pitts could do. But this offense, I mean, my goodness, if Cordero wasn't there, it would be like, it would be an actual offense to watch it. Who's been better the last three weeks?

Russell Wilson or Big Ben? I'm guessing you're going to say Big Ben. That's got to be Ben. I have no idea. Who cares? Yeah, the answer is who cares? They suck. All right, back to running backs. Alexander Madison has Detroit this week. He would be the must have pickup far above Chuba because there are complicating.

matters in play with Carolina. But Madison has Detroit, Pittsburgh, Chicago. Spend it all. Spend everything you got. Yes. Madison is a priority burn. He is a full fab dump at this point. Serious load of fat. Yes. Chuba Hubbard and Amir Abdullah. Those are the names to bring up. And I will be honest with you. They're both. You should pursue them both. Yes, I agree. But Amir may have sneaky value. Like, if I'm prioritizing them, it probably is.

is Chuba by a very thin margin. But Amir Abdullah's rise in this offense should not be ignored the last five weeks. He has turned into their receiving back. We know when Christian McCaffrey was out, you're talking about he's essentially averaging five targets a game. When Christian McCaffrey is not on the field, those are high value.

Cam is not afraid to check it down to the running back. Last week, 49% of snaps for Abdullah, 20% for Chuba. Yes. It has just been a product of the way that the debt chart shook out with CMC being active, but the team has started to build a trust with him, and it makes it complicated to spend big fab on one guy here. Yeah, it does. I still would firmly be in the Chuba camp over Abdullah. However, um,

Like you said, there's a lot of things that complicate. It's not just Abdullah. We talked about how bad the upcoming schedule was for Christian McCaffrey, but it didn't matter because it was Christian McCaffrey. Well, Chuba Hubbard is not Christian McCaffrey. They are on by right now, so you're picking up a guy you certainly can't use. Come back against Atlanta. Okay. Now I've got a good weekly flex. That's what it is. From that point on, Buffalo? Tampa Bay. The Saints?

Well, that's the rest. That's what you're getting. You're getting a backup sharing time with Abdullah in a terrible schedule after he gets back from by. So there are other, like Sony Michelle. Sony Michelle is someone I would probably rather invest there than on Chuba because I feel like I'm going to get a good game right now when I need it. Chuba without Abdullah. His highest fantasy finish was 19.

Right. That's the best he did without him. With massive volume. Yeah. And now you have a quarterback that is going to compete for end zone, you know, opportunities. It does seem a little bit like just be careful on what you think he is if you pick him up. Sure. But yeah, Jason is right. Sony Michelle is another priority ad this week. He gets Jacksonville. We just don't know. We had the news come out that Darrell Henderson has a.

Quad's injury. And it from, you know, we're talking with Matthew Betts, our injury guy, he said he would be pretty surprised if Darrell Henderson's able to play this weekend. If the injury is exactly what they're talking about, which Sony becomes a great play over this weekend. And then he should be, Sony should be on rosters regardless. You're at the time of the year where if Henderson unfortunately misses more time,

then Sony Michelle going into the fancy playoffs is a fantastic play. Let's discuss the, I use it in close, the running back situation in Buffalo. Yeah. But Matt Breed and Devin Singletary were the only two active running backs this past week. We had talked about it on the show before the weekend that Zach Moss might be in an active. He was. Singletary saw 66% of snaps. Breita was very effective.

Nine for 26 on the ground, two for 29 and a touchdown through the air. We've seen this for a couple of weeks in a row now with Matt Brita. The team has been very vocal about him earning snaps. Which of these two running backs would you prioritize? Are you prioritizing snap count or effectiveness in this offense? Well, you also have to, like, going back to the game, there was a particular play where there was a screen called, and Matt Berita and a couple other players, to be fair, went one way.

Josh Allen and some linemen went the other way. And as soon as that play happened, there was the miscommunication. Matt Berita essentially got benched for quite a while. He did come back in, and that's when he had the receiving touchdown. So I'm not sure how much that will factor into the decision making of the Buffalo coaching staff. I would probably prioritize Singletary.

But that's not with a huge amount of confidence. And on top of that, there's no guarantee that Zach Moss will again be a healthy scratch. That could have been a very specific plan for that particular matchup. So we're moving forward with reactionary news of last week. So these guys do need to be picked up and stashed. Maparita is far more available in your fantasy leagues. Singletary is available.

you know, 35% of them. Amaparita is still a decent ad at this point. Yeah, Brita could be picked up as a passing downs guy because he's available in your leagues, but I would much rather have Singletary. The effectiveness and the efficiency of Berita having touchdowns lately, as has really vaulted his fantasy finishes up, but I'm going to, I'm going to rely on the snaps, the...

total opportunities, and those are going heavily towards Singletary. However, this is still a split backfield of a team that doesn't run the ball well with an upcoming schedule of the New England Patriots, the Buccaneers, and the Panthers. So I'm not excited about any of them. Jamal Williams, you heard it earlier. He may get the start, and he's only 37% rostered. Do you put him right behind Madison?

on your priorities if you need to start this week. Yeah, for this week, absolutely. Against Minnesota. Or do you have Michelle ahead of it? I have Michelle ahead of it. I would take Jamal. See, I have more confidence that you're not going to see Swift than I do that you're not going to see Henderson. I agree. And you have to make a decision now, so I will actually go Williams then, Michelle. Yeah, I agree with what you're saying that Jamal Williams.

has no chance that he comes out and, you know, is a goose and is not really involved, whereas there's still a chance Sony Michelle is just the backup who touches the ball twice for Darrell Henderson. But I do think that the upside of a Sony Michelle being by himself against Jacksonville is humongous. Boston Scott is another pickup potentially has the Jets. Oh, baby. He's looked good. I mean, just watching the games, he's looked good. He is a shifty.

He reminded me of like Darren Sproles. He could still pummel you at the end of a run, even though he's got a smaller demeanor. His demeanor is not the word I'm looking for there. Body? Body. There you go. 15 for 64 in a touchdown last week. Yeah, it will come down to Miles Sanders. We did get an update from Coach Siriani saying that Miles, oh, and Jordan Howard are heading in the right direction. I'd be more confident in Miles Sanders playing.

But if Jordan Howard is, in fact, back, oh, that would suck. I mean, good for Jordan Howard, but, like, this is a monster matchup that if those guys are out, Boston, Scott will be an incredible play against the Jets. If Miles is back, he should be an incredible play. If Jordan Howard's there, it's just messy. Donchall Hilliard, Deontza Foreman. Yes, this one is fascinating because the running back for the Titans, they took over. They're on the bye week.

They did some serious damage against the Patriots was not really expected. A lot of Hilliars rushing yards was one play. Let's give the stat lines. Yes. Deonti Form in 19 for 109. Hillier was 12 for 131.1. Yeah. So both of these guys are an option. They get Jacksonville coming out of the by week. But you have Jeremy McNichols who was, he was in line.

to get the work after the injury to Derek Henry. They, of course, brought Adrian Peterson in, but then McNichols suffered a concussion a couple weeks back. With concussion timelines with normal recovery, he should be back, but these guys are worth speculation ads. Like, Hillier's worth a speculation ad to me at the back of your bench, just in case.

McNichols has further troubles, and Foreman should be added because he will be the primary ball carrier, and he looks like he has juice. Yeah, Foreman's not going anywhere, looks good, will be the guy. I think McNichols comes in and overtakes Hilliard when they get back off their buy. Hilliard did everything he could in two games to show them that he can be a player. 100%. But we've just seen it with, you know.

Khalil Herber. Dearnis Johnson. They come in and they're great. But Jeremy Nichols is no David Montgomery. How dear you? I mean, McNichols looked pretty McBad in his games before the concussion. He was doing nothing. I don't know. I don't know what it means for Hilliard moving forward, but I agree. Four minutes to pick up. Yeah. And has Jacksonville coming off the buy. And it's good to see for him. I mean, this is a player with a lot of potential coming into the league. And then you've got to talk about

Yes, you do. The Jets, I mean, Tevin Coleman is 16 carries. I mean, I attribute a lot of what they did with the matchup, right? It's not often you get the chance to give Tevin Coleman 16 carries, and then Austin Walter had nine carries for 38 and a touchdown. Yes, Austin Walter. That's right. Where we said, huh? He was fully featured on Sunday Live. Oh, that's good. Just don't check. Don't check the tape. Yeah, my, my, uh,

My Ty Johnson draft Kings lineup didn't do as well. Yeah. Yeah, because Austin Walter. Let's blitz the tight ends because it's not pretty. Zach Ertz, I threw him in here because if for some reason, you know, he was just on the buy, 80% rostered on Sleeper, lower on ESPN from what we could tell. If he's there for some reason. You have to pick him up. Even if you have a great tight end, pick up Zacherts. Yeah, I mean, that.

I thought I had a great one. Kyle Pitts. Now I'm deciding. You do have a great one. With Zachard. Yeah. Logan Thomas, 66% rostered. We just talked about how he basically scored, didn't count. And then I might give you the chance to pick him up on the cheap. He could be a great end of year tied in for your team. Las Vegas, Dallas, Philly coming up. Those are the two big names that should be focused on. Everybody else is junk. Yeah. And no offense to them as people.

We're just talking about for your fantasy lineup, you are basically filling a spot with a name. That is what it equates to. Cole Comet is a junk, it would be the tight end in the junk drawer that if I had to find one, I would pick him up. He was eight for 65, two games ago. He was six for 87. He's very involved. Stupid Jimmy Graham.

gets the touchdown. Oh, baby. Yeah, you can dance on me. I know. Our great bet of Will Disley versus Jimmy Graham. Take it away. You went with the music? I thought you went to go with the money drop. I did get some money. I could do that, too. I mean, we could. I did pay up. I paid, I paid the man. I got a Venmo or an Apple pay that said Jimmy Grandpa and $100 hit me. That's one. Yeah.

I can't believe that happened. I was considering, like, if Disley had found away last night of calling it neutral, you know, same weekend? Maybe we just keep the, push it longer, but double the bat. You would let him do that? I mean, he had a, you had a buy week. Unlike Jason in bets, I am a, you know. A sporting man. If Will Disley caught one while your player was on buy, I would have taken the hundred. Yes, I know you would have. There are a couple other names that I think are worth bringing up.

Foster Moreau from the Las Vegas Raiders. If Darren Waller misses time, Foster Monroe would go right into a Titan-led offense and... You're going to the island? The island of Dr. Moreau. There's a lot of doctors on this show. But the last time Waller was out, Moreau was heavily featured because that's just how the players are drawn up. And Gerald Everett, man, it has to be mentioned that...
