Fantasy Football Podcast for Week 14/15

Just say you're in the top four and be done with it. Okay, yeah. I mean, I'm in the top four right. I'm in the top four correspondents. So for Fantasypros.com, what's nice is they grab consensus rankings of the waiver wire across a bunch of sites and experts. And it gives us the opportunity to kind of look at who, I guess, the majority of experts believe are good signings this week. And then we can give our feedback and you can.

You can just kind of absorb it and apply it to your waiver wires, which for most people go through tomorrow morning. So I'm surprised to see Jonathan Stewart at the top of this list. I find it laughable because I would have rostered him and started him last week. Because he was your. Start of the week. Yeah. Everyone will be like about a week behind catching up on. Hey, that's what happens when you're dealing with. I wish I had to call it right now. The fantasy hit man. I would pop it up and I would shoot my imaginary guns.

Well, yeah, Jonathan Stewart, home run hitter. Shouldn't be on the waiver wire, but he was. And so he's on the list. Charles Johnson's a really interesting guy because him and Teddy Bridgewater are just on the same page. Yeah, something's going on with those guys. There's a good connection. I think they're going to Denny's after every game, and they're just having a grand slam. And is Cordero Paterson just peeking through the window with tears streaming down his face. No, he's too busy fumbling on kickoffs. He's like, I was a first-round pick.

Too busy fumbling on kickoff returns. People say I'm a freak athlete. Oh, I like it when we get into this mode where we're just ripping a certain guy. Like, it was Matt Stafford. And J. Cuddy. Oh, J. Coddy. And now, Corderall Patterson. You know, after that first week, oh, he's the next big thing. Oh, Patterson. How many next big things have we seen? You know, the difference between a fantasy football superstar and a fantasy football...

what would you call that, pariah, horrible person on your team, it's called consistency. Yes. Deshawn Jackson can stay as far from my team as possible. Yeah, I generally don't like those extreme boom-busts. Unless they're in your flex or something, you know. Yeah, yeah. So another, another falcon. Sorry, another Viking, yeah. Matt Asiata, any thoughts about him? Yeah, the...

I did see that Tate's supposed to get a few more carries. Yeah, that's what I would go with. I don't, because they're done. Vikings are done. It's all next year. I have no idea why they're even giving Ozzy out all these carries. You put a waiver in for Ben Tate. McKinnon's on IR. What are you doing? Why would you even put rostered Ben Tate if you don't want to say, hey, maybe are we going to keep this guy? Yeah. It's a ridiculous thing to put someone on your team and then not even use it. Why are you paying him? I don't know.

That's just terrible managing. Malcolm Floyd, who's a... Malcolm Floyd is an unsung hero of the fantasy season. Yeah, I noticed that. I was looking at some wide receiver waivers today. I'm like, well, he's just kind of been pretty good. Yeah, he's, there's nothing sexy about it, but he's a, I believe he's like a low level two. Or is he right at the top of threes? He gets targeted, and I think he's probably at the top of threes, but he gets targeted a lot in the red zone. He's obviously a big body, and, you know...

It didn't hurt that last week you could not throw the ball to Keenan Allen. Other guys on this list, I kind of like Stedman Bailey. I was going to say, who's your top three off of this list? Off this, well, Jay Stu, of course, but I'll just leave him off. For me, a couple guys down the list, I'll jump in real quick and let you look at it. A couple guys that I think are upside guys that aren't being mentioned a lot are Nate Washington in Tennessee. Nasty Nate.

I don't know the status. Do you know the status of Kindle right right now? I believe he's still injured. I mean, I know he's still injured. I believe he's going to play this upcoming week, but I mean... He'll play with Nate Washington, though. But you can't guarantee he's going to make it through the game. Right. And so I kind of like Nate Washington as a flyer. You know, because what you're looking for now to me is...

a flyer that has upside. And I don't want to, as much as Malcolm Floyd has been good, I don't see, you know, he's been in the same role all year long. Somebody like Kerwin Williams, the running back for Arizona, you haven't seen. You don't know what's coming. Nate Washington is kind of that way too. Marcus Lee, he might have, or Marquis Lee, he might have a role that we haven't seen before. And so for me, I don't want to just roll a guy out there that doesn't have upside. You know, Moncrief, Dante Moncrief. Yeah, I was going to say, he's my start of the week, by the way.

You asked which guys I like. I love Moncrief. I love him so much that I even, just because I don't think people realize this. So I pulled up Moncrief's combine numbers. So Moncrief, he's 6-2, 221. The dude ran a 4-4. That's not slow. And that's probably why they threw it over the top to him. With a 40-inch vertical. And his broad jump was 132 inches, which if you aren't.

putting those things together. Broad jump is all about explosion. If you have a strong broad jump, that means your first step, you're going to be very explosive. So 6-2-44. I mean, if you're talking about Reggie Wayne playing with a torn tricep, he's been ineffective. Nix has been completely usurped. He's not even relevant. He's not gone. You know what I mean? Moncrief is out snapping him every week. If Moncrief gets in that second position with T. Y. Hilton and...

So, Two-way Hill and Moncrief and Andrew Luck throwing the ball? Yeah, who has a better long ball than Andrew Luck nowadays? They are going to be ridiculous. Yeah, very explosive. So, yeah, he's a great guy on this list. You've already mentioned Cook. He's a guy that you can probably take a flyer on. I don't really see anybody other standout names. The only other name I would maybe talk about is Marquise Wilson. He's going to fill in for Brandon Marshall in Chicago. And that's only because if you think...

the defense might be skewed towards Jeffrey and Forte, and Wilson's got, he's a burner, he can get downfield, and Cuddy. So you got Bennett there, it's just too many mouths, maybe. I just say, Cuddy, it's only going to take one play, and Smokin J. Cuddy, he does not care. He's going to throw it. Smoking J. Well, I agree, because he's my start of the week as well. Let's get into that. Starts of the week. So let's start right there.

Let's start right there with Mr. J. Cutler. You know, I like what I see out of that New Orleans defense if I'm the opposing offensive coordinator. And so Jay Collar is my start of the week. You were kind of giving me a hard time on this earlier. Yeah. Because I think you wanted somebody a little more left field. Cutler is at the back end of the QB1.

area. Yeah, he's number nine in our league. I also think people might doubt him because of Brandon Marshall's situation, and so I still think he's a good start. Let's say, I would think a lot of people, if you're rolling with Cutty, you might have a backup. Like, you might be playing matchups with two guys. Maybe it's Cutler and Ryan or Cutler. So in that fact, I'll allow it because you want the people to row with it. Had not seen your start of the week until just... Oh, it's in all capital letters, my friend.

Johnny Football. It's time. Oh, my goodness. It's time. It's out. How's you going to do? It's official. Give me a stat line. Give me a stat line. I don't have a stat line, but what I do have is in that tiny little teeny teeny teeny. Somebody's calling me. Get out of here with this phone call business. In the tiny little amount of relief he went in for Brian Hoyer not this past week but the week before. I believe he had.

Nine fantasy points. Those legs are going to make his basement really high. Yes. Like Tim Tebow, remember a couple years ago? Right. In Johnny Football is better than Tebow. I don't know why. TBD. TBD, both were Heisman winners. TBD. Johnny Football can actually throw the ball. TBD. That's not to be determined. People doubted his strength. If I'm the Josh Gordon owner, I am so happy right now.

that you're going to get a guy who has been really bad. Really, really bad. Like one touchdown to eight interception bad. Yeah, and he doesn't have a touchdown in the last three games. Awful. I mean, we're not. So Johnny Football is your quarterback start of the week. Bazzoom! Well done. I got Chris Johnson at my running back start. He's facing Tennessee, and Tennessee's a, what you would define as a train wreck.

They can't do anything right. They got completely obliterated this past week. They don't have an offense. So I think this is ball. I would not be surprised to see New York possess the ball 70% of this game, and they're going to keep it on the ground, and they're going to take it back away from Jake Locker. And it's just going to be, I think, I think there's just going to be so much work to go around for Ivory and Johnson. And you know what? Chris Johnson's coming back to show something to Tennessee. He has. He is. You've got a revenge game.

Hashtray revenge. Speaking of which... Well, this isn't really revenge. Oh, I guess it's not revenge. But it's hometown. He's coming home. Another variable. Pierre Thomas is my running back start of the week because I'm trying to go a little bit deeper. He's coming home to Chicago. He historically has good games there. And I think Sean Payton understands that Pierre gets an extra pep when he comes home to Chicago. He's going to have a lot of...

eyes on him what's going on there you're the belcher today you know don't drink a giant soda while you're doing a podcast i'm having issues but so if you're looking for a uh a flex uh low level rb two what's going on uh i would lean with pierre thomas and he play he out snapped uh mark ingram last week which i think had to do with game flow because they were losing they were down like being terrible nothing but

So I like to know it was a lot. Yeah, I like that start. Like I said earlier, my wide receiver start is Dante Moncrief. Wayne has been struggling. Nix has lost his spot. And if you watch Nix, he just looks really average. He's just, he's nobody. And they're facing Houston in a divisional game.

Moncrief was targeted, I think, four times us week. It was not very many times. And he missed a couple balls, but he just has that boom potential. So if you're looking for that, you know, a good example is I'd rather roll Moncrief out than Malcolm Floyd. Yeah. You know, I'd rather take a chance on a guy like that. Understandable. Who's yours? I'm rolling with a, you had a jet. I have a jet. I'm going with Eric Decker. Eric Decker is a guy who I really liked. That's a little bit.

overselling you, but I liked him going to the draft as a low-level guy who may be able to produce. He has a bit of a connection with Gino Smith. He went six for 89 last week. Percy Harvin is, I think he's going to be out. He's not going to play. And they're playing the Titans. The Titans defense is just awful, awful everywhere. Yeah, I think we both actually picked a lot of guys from that game because...

My tight-in start of the week is from the same game. It's actually Delaney Walker because there's no wide receivers left in Tennessee, and Jake Locker has a rapport with him, and the Jets aren't very good against the tight-in. So if there's a guy to catch the ball, Walker, you saw a couple weeks ago. He had 150-something yards. So he's my start of the week. I'm starting regrettably so. Jared Cook, the aforementioned Jared Cook,

kills Arizona. There's something about, I don't know, I don't know what it is. Aside from Arizona's just not very good against the tight end, that's resurfacing their inability to cover the tight end. And Jared Cook is getting it done lately with Sean Hillback in the starting lineup. And I think Cook, I would look for Cook to score this week. Yeah, that would be three straight weeks, I think. So for me, again, I'm going back to the well.

The Jets defense against Tennessee, and this is just based on turnovers. Yeah, Jake Locker. Jake Locker is going to turn the ball over to New York, and so I think the Jets are a decent streamer. Hopefully you have a better solution, but I actually think it's probably top five this week. Originally here, I was going to say if you picked up and played my Giants start of the week, last week I would hold on to them and play them. So that's my first bit of advice, but I didn't want to do that.

just repeat them there so i'm going with this is actually with some question mark the panthers are they back they had a really strong week i don't know if they're bad i guess that's up for you to decide so i'm i'm willing to take the chance if if your uh your defense is barren which it should be you should already be prepared for week 15 like we've talked about

You've got to prepare. You've got to put a little bit of time into this if you want to win. But I like Carolina. I had this in here before the Cam Newton news came out, but I'm still going to roll with it because Tampa Bay stinks. I hear they're going. They might go back to Mike Glennon. But I still think the Panthers will get some sacks and some turnovers.
