Since the buy week, he has seen 22% of the targets, and maybe that's a product of Russ not confident that he can get the ball down the field. But he is seeing a lot of targets and not doing a ton, but in a PPR situation, Gerald Everett is in play. Defenses, two that we recommended last week as a stash of the two best pickups this week. The Colts against Houston and the Vikings against Detroit. Arizona also plays Chicago.

Inside the episode
137 passagesThat's going to be an opportunity for an opportunistic defense to take advantage of a rookie quarterback if Justin Fields is back. Yeah, even if it's Andy Dalton, I'm still going to play the Arizona Cardinals. And they are a two out of three because the following week, the Cardinals will play the Rams. It's at home, too. You could probably do it, but then the next week is Detroit. So the Cardinals...
should be looked at and added. Two or three for the Cowboys as well. They got New Orleans this week who's struggling on offense and then the Giants in two weeks. Two of three for the dolphins who are widely available. The dolphins are great. Their defense is great. They're playing against the Giants, then a byweek than the Jets. So I think they are a fine pickup. And if you have a D already for this week, but you need one for next week.
Denver plays Detroit in two weeks. Green Bay played Chicago in two weeks. The Seahawks are facing Houston in two weeks. The Saints are facing the Jets in two. That's a great one. Yeah, that's the one I'd go with it. And then the Titans are facing Jacksonville in two weeks. So there's your opportunity for... It sounds like a game the Titans will lose. Jacksonville? Yeah. Divisional? Yeah. They like to lose against bad teams. It's one of their favorite things to do. Full stream ahead.
I did just get some breaking news from Tom Pelliserra. Amari Cooper was required to miss two games because of the 10-day isolation period as an unvaccinated player. Now is at risk of missing a third due to ongoing symptoms. Ooh, not good. So red alert. Yeah, that sucks. On the potential for Cooper's return, and hopefully he just heals up. I don't know if you guys saw the comments from Joel and Bede recently.
But Joel Embed came back from, he was out with COVID symptoms, and it hit him really, really hard. And he was saying like he had some bad days. Yeah, I mean, for a wide receiver, if 10 days later you're still dealing with symptoms, when he is clear of it, there very well could be, you know, issues of performance in the first game back. All right. Streaming quarterback options. Let's go with a guy who looked really, really good last week.
Carson Wins. Carson Wins has the utter privilege of throwing to T.Y. Houston this week. Texans are bad at football. Run in mission control. Yeah, okay. Now, I'm with you. The Texans are allowing first downs on 39% of passing attempts. Now, the problem here is that when we've seen this, when Jonathan Taylor can get slowed a little bit, then Carson Wins has been really, really good. Don't think he's going to be slowed by the Texans, but look, if you're going to, he'll do enough.
If you're going to score 31 points against the Texans, 35 points, Carson is going to play a role. And so I think he is a great streaming candidate. Yeah, I like him. I like Mike's better than mine as well. But I'll throw Tua out there. Two has been playing good football. He has. This last week wasn't great for fantasy, but that's because the actual game.
He was very unneeded as they whipped up on the Carolina Panthers. Their defense was great. Gaskin also took two rushing touchdowns. Gaskin had the two rushing touchdowns. I mean, Tua was, he had an 87% completion percentage. He's completed more than 80% his last two weeks. Jalen Waddle's the real deal, and he could get Devante Parker back. The Giants aren't a bad defense, but they're not, you know, a world beater. I think I'm just looking at who's available.
It's not a great week for streamers. I'm going to go with someone who's been playing good football, and that's Tua. And you might be wondering why we haven't talked about him. We're just saving it for here. Tassum Hill for the New Orleans Saints needs to be picked up. As a starter last year in his four games, averaged over 50 rushing yards of contest. He was a top 12 quarterback in six-point scoring formats. He's solid for fantasy.
Yeah, he's not surrounded by elite weapons, but Alvin Camara should be back. And just the rushing upside puts him in the conversation of a weekly top 12 start. And if he plays well against Dallas and with the contract, he will probably be given the opportunity to finish out the year and see if he is the future of the quarterback position for the Saints. And he'll be good for fantasy.
All right, that is it for our streaming quarterbacks. We want to thank Trager grills, of course. Grilling season never ends with Trager. You can keep that wood-fired flavor coming all year long. We have been outside a ton here. The weather has been so good. And can I talk about the brisket anymore? Oh, please do. I wish I could have. Did you save any brisket? I ate it, so no. Rude. But it was awesome because when you slow cook,
You know, when you smoke a brisket, that's hours. And you can monitor it all from your phone, the temperature overnight. It was awesome. Yeah. It was really a good experience, and it worked out and it was delicious. I am not a barbecue pro. This was, in fact, my first time doing a brisket. And I was like, man, this seems like a lot. And it was not. No. It was, in fact, just a couple simple steps. And you get it on the trigger and then you just say, Trigger.
Smoke this for me. Yes. Smoke that food. You can talk to it. It is allowed. Oh, yeah. Make it a wood-fired winter. You get to name your grill. You do. Yeah, I got Sir Smokes a lot. Oh, did you go? Okay. Make it a wood-fired winter with Trager. Go to Trager.com slash footballers. That'll do it for today's show. We appreciate each and every one of you tuning in, supporting us.
