Week 10 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Ride the Lightning - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/10

And if you have to take your, if you got to take your shots here, all right, I think I would put Duke Johnson at number two. Because the concussion, you don't know if someone's going to come back, but I'm just trying to weigh what their value would be if the injury held up and David Johnson had to miss. Like if David Johnson has to miss and David Montgomery has to miss, I want Duke Johnson.

100 out of 100 times compared to Ryan Knoll. So he would be the second one I would prioritize. Have you guys heard any more information about Mark Ingram, Baltimore Ravens, alleged starting running back, missed a couple weeks now with a foot injury. We still don't know if he's going to be back. No, I haven't heard anything. The timeline would say he could be back this week and could miss. It's one of those very nebulous situations. Is Gus Edwards involved in this? We don't.

He should be picked up because you don't know who's going to be starting yet. Yeah, I mean, he's involved in a heavy run offense. He wasn't very good this last week. He's the goal I'm back, though. I don't know that that's a guarantee. They've used, you know, they've used J.K. Dobbins down there before early in the year. Three straight games with a rushing touchdown. I mean, that's helpful.

But you think it's a guarantee that if they get there that it's always going to be Edwards? Not always, but I would say 80 plus percent of the chance is going to go to Edwards? Or Lamar. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, the Damien Harris chest injury in the second half could have implications on whether you'd take a shot with Burkhead. I mean, Sony could be back, unfortunately. If Sony is not back and Damien misses time, then yes, you are correct. Rex Burkhead should be picked up. The matchup is not great against Baltimore.

But Rex Burkhead is a do-it-all running back. And they trust them around the goal line. All right. Tight-end options this week. Who are your favorite waiver wire pickups if you are looking towards the tied-in position? So the favorite pickups of the week are the two guys we highlighted last week that if your tight-end position is really hurting, you need to pick one of these two guys up, eat the bench spot for a week.

Austin Hooper, you might have even been able to get into your IR so you didn't have to use an active bench spot. But Dallas Goddard from the Philadelphia Eagles and Austin Hooper from the Cleveland Browns. Those are my two clear-cut top options. Between the two of them, I probably prefer Hooper slightly just because we have seen.

We have actual evidence of the target share rising each and every week that Austin Hooper was involved. And now he's back from his appendicitis. And you compound that with the loss of O'Dell Beckham. Sure. And, yeah, Hooper has an arrow pointing up. I would put him ahead of Goddard, but those are the two clear pickups if they're available in your leagues. If not.

Jimmy Grandpa is, you know, is still someone that you can. He's on the rocking chair. He's just waiting for you to pick him up. We're watching the game and Andy keeps pointing out how just they keep throwing the ball all game. It was it was little receptions for Jimmy Graham. He's got a divisional game coming up. I think he's fine. Okay. Yeah. I have to decide between Jared Cook and Jimmy Graham to start this week.

Ooh, that's fun. And that seems like a tough call with Michael Thomas coming back and Emmanuel Sanders back and Jimmy Graham getting too much work. The only other name I personally would throw out would be Eric Ebron. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vance McDonald went on the COVID-Ir list. So he might be a little bit more alone. And Cincinnati this week, Jacksonville next week. Eric Ebron is a very good pickup.

All right, some drop candidates, though, if you're making these decisions for your waiver wire, let me bring up some names. DJ Moore? No. I'm not dropping DJ Moore. Hollywood Brown? Yeah, I would be willing. You can drop him, yeah. Love Bell. Yes. What about Rojo? No. Yeah, I would not. I don't think I'm dropping him. Okay. It's been terrible thus far, but he's of the past two weeks where he has done nothing. He was still the starting running back.

He got benched for fumbling and then got game scripted out. I understand that means that Ronald Jones is not a perfect fantasy player, that he has all these variables surrounding him, that he can just Harry Houdini himself right out of the game. But I would still hold on to him. The schedule.

opens up a little bit here. And the Buccaneers offense is going to, it's about to explode. Well, let's just say he had three times the amount of carries as Leonard Fournette in his last game. Perfect. Perfect. Three to one, man. Three to one. All right. Defensive streaming options, the Saints take on San Francisco and Nick Mullins. That looks like a home run. The Eagles take on the Giants after the buy week, which looks like a home run. You know, Daniel Jones is good for some defensive scoring opportunities.

Outside of that, the Giants defense has been better than expected. You could play them against Philly. That's a little more risky. I probably wouldn't. What else? You got the Vikings against Chicago? Would you actually play them? I mean, they're 31st against the pass. Seems scary. I'd be willing to. I'd prefer to grab the Saints or the Eagles, though. Yeah, I agree with that. The one thing that you know about most Chicago Bears games is that they're low scoring.

Nick Foles can throw picks, so I think you can get away with that. Also, I do want to highlight this point. It was brought up by my esteemed colleague, Jason Moore. I don't know why he refuses to bring it up on the show. The Miami Dolphins DST, which the Miami Dolphins are, their defense is legit. It's pretty good. But here's what's coming up for them. The Chargers, the Denver Broncos, and the New York Jets, followed by the Cincinnati Bengals. You have.

I mean, maybe you don't like the matchup against the Chargers, that's fine. But Denver, Jets, Cincinnati, those are three strong matchups coming up here for a defense. All right, let's talk quarterbacks. Full stream ahead. All right, before we give our streaming quarterback options, I want to just throw a name out there because I know it's not one of the three we've picked and just ask your rest of the season take on them because I think people have different opinions. They were impressed this past week. It's Tua.

What do you do with Tua rest of season? I don't know if you can declare anything rest of season just yet, but Tua was very impressive against Arizona. He did not have the really comfortable game script that he had his first week where he only had 12 completions. But he made some plays. He made some plays in the running game as well. So he is, he's interesting, but he's not into the.

He would only stream so far in a perfect situation, which against the Chargers is a pretty perfect situation. I mean, there's not a lot of more perfect situations than against the Chargers right now. So it'll be very interesting. That being said, I think he played as well as I could have hoped for last week against the Cardinals. He kept scoring and he was.

You know, he was okay for fantasy. He didn't have a bad game. QB17. Yeah, but he certainly didn't help you win your week. I actually wanted to bring up one other name that I know is not an R3, but Baker Mayfield, I was really close between going with him or not against Houston this week. Baker, you know, I know it's so weird, but when O'Dell Beckham went down and all of a sudden he could just throw to whoever was open, he lit it up, then had the weather game, then the buy.

So I'm keeping a close eye on Baker this week at Houston. I think if you, you know, if you're in a two-quarterback league or, you know, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel. Check this out. Jake Luton. That's your argument right now for Baker Mayfield. Even guys like Jake Luden right off the bench can come in and make an impact against Houston. Yeah, I do worry about him. Chubb coming back, the dynamics of this offense. Even Baker's good games are kind of mediocre games. That was why I didn't go with him was.

I could see this game script being a run heavy team, but certainly going to keep my eyes on. All right. Streaming quarterbacks this week, I'm going to go with Carson Wins. Look, cover your eyes, let it happen. He's the quarterback 12 on the year. He's got Rager back. He's got got back. He's got the Giants this week and their bottom third against fantasy quarterbacks. It'll be okay if you need to wear a blindfold. Go ahead. We said this was going to happen. Even after the bad performance last week, we said we'd come back and probably recommend him as a streamer because he's sitting there on waiver wires.

maybe his retribution for last week, but I'm going to go wins. All right. When I saw Jason's, I know. And he put me on blast last week about this player, I was shocked. Well, this is for all those Broncos fans out there. I'm going with Drew Locke. I've said it. He doesn't look good in the beginning of these games, but he's heating up. I mean, he's had two great matchups in a row.

He's had two top 10 fantasy finishes in a row. At the end of the day, you can't ask for much more than that. And he's got a third great matchup coming up against the Raiders. He's starting to get it going with Jerry Judy, at least this last week. So I think you can stream him. He's certainly not into the category of every week's starter, but in a matchup against the Raiders, you could plug him in? And speaking of matchup, fellas, could I interest you in playing a defense that is on pace to give up the most passing yards ever?

By over 1,000 passing yards. Holy freaking crap, Seattle. What is going on up there? So give me Jared Garf, King Goughrey, against the Seattle Seahawks. I think they can get it done. It's a big week for, you know, every Mahomes manager can't play him this week. So you're scouring the waiver wire. You're looking for an opportunity to fill in that gap. Garf is a...

He's going to be my option in that situation, and I'm hoping for the best. It hasn't been a great year. But coming out of the buy, Sean McVeigh, getting the offense rolling against the worst defense in history, I am hopeful. If you're just grabbing a quarterback to play and getting 250 and 2, which is more than capable from Jared Goff this week, just grabbing that off the wire is, that's a win. Yeah. Goff would.

easily be my first choice if all of these guys are on the waivers. Seattle has just their offense is so good and their defense is so bad and it's a delight for fantasy. It's amazing that this team is six and two in real life. I mean, how are you going to give up on pace for more than a thousand yards more than any team in the history given up through the air and you're six and two atop the NFC West? It's called Russell Wilson. Yeah.

Yeah, and it's, you know, even Russell's scoring as often as he does. This defense has to get on the field a lot. And then they try to get Russ back on the field real quick.
