Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups, Streaming Options, News

Owen Daniels also had a pretty solid game. Four for 69. It was Win Osweiler because it was his show. If he threw it to the left, I believe this is the way it worked out. If it went left, it was going to Vernon Davis. If it went right, it was going to Owen Daniels. And I expect Osweiler to continue to lean on the tight ends this week. A guy that you might have forgotten about due to the bye week. If you need a start, Heath Miller is B.

back in action this week as the Steelers take on the Seahawks up in Seattle. Seahawks are susceptible to the tight end. They have been. And so Heath Miller's a guy to remember. Crockett Gilmore is the last remaining offensive player for Baltimore. Buck Allen and Crockett Gilmore are running the full offense. No, but I mean, he was five for 101. I don't know. You know, that's one of those things where the rapport with the starter, you know, Gilmore and Flacco had a lot of trust.

I don't know if it repeats. It probably does. Gilmore will be involved. Yeah. And he's got the... Crickets. Crickets. He's got the... I like Crockett Gilmore. He's been decent on the year. He's got... He's facing the Cleveland Brown offense. So I'm pretty sure I put a D at the end of the word brown. How much would you like him if his name was Dave Smith? Far less. 100% less. If his name was versus Crockett Gilmore, I love Crockett. Crockett. Gilmore is the name of a man who needs to be in action movies. Yeah. Exactly. He also makes me think of butter.

Butter? Yeah, isn't there like a, like, it makes me think, what? Country crock? Yeah, country crock. Betty Crock? I don't know. Dude, I pretty much half of things in life make me think of butter. Or is it Betty Crock it?

It's Betty Crocker. I know what it is. That's what it is. That's the container that comes to mind. Look, what's the Kevin Bacon game where everything gets back to butter? Yeah, that's Jason can do that with butter. Yeah. Tom Brady? Everything life is three degrees of butter. I believe I have three degrees to butter.

Yeah, I have already, right? Didn't I, uh, three degrees, then I called Dion Lewis, a stick of butter when he was sliding between guys? You've got to issues. I've got to be right back. I need to go get some waffles with some butter. His name is literally Davy Crockett. You go with butter? Yeah. Man, I'm hungry. Is anyone else hungry now? Oh, I've got to stick of butter in, you know, in the studio fridge. You're going to have a moon waffle. Oh, my goodness. All right. Another Simpsons reference.

You guys don't get it. Yeah, that's a good one. Austin Sperian Jenkins. Oh, breaking news on ASJ. Hold on, hold on. Hold on. He is. You got to hit the button. Well, it's breaking news. He is still practicing. He is still at practice. That's going on, I think, five weeks now where he is practicing and not able, not cleared to play.

in the NFL. It's about the third week in a row where they've said that Jenkins is going to play. But I'm hearing that Jenkins is going to play this week. I want to move on. I want to move on to our streaming section. The last bit of news here, Mike, you can mention it in the streaming section. And we'll talk about quarterbacks that we like this week. We'll try to set you up with a streamer and somebody that can get you some points. Full stream ahead. All right. So quarterbacks this week that you're willing to put your neck on the line with.

Guys that you're willing to start in your fantasy leagues, this is crunch time. We play to win the game. So the bit of news, he's not our streamer, but Tony Romo is still available in 25% of leagues. Yeah. Somehow, according to our stats, I don't know if like 10% of those leagues are just completely ignored leagues. And so the numbers are a little bit inflated. But that's a large, he's there for somebody. Pick him up. So are you dropping him in our league?

Yeah, probably. Well, no, I think if I have to drop either Tony Romo or Eli Manning in our league, I'm going to drop Eli Manning because the only weeks I care about now that I've locked up my bye week for the first round of the playoffs is 15 and 16 and Eli has terrible matchups. Okay, so let's kick it off, Mike. You know, I see the name next to your name and I have to start with you because I love it. This is who I would pay. Of course you do. We'll talk about it. Go ahead. I'm going with.

Brian Hoyer. He has been cleared to play, and he is going to play. I don't know what that hand motion. Oh, it was this. It was this. Oh, are you farting on Brian Hoyer? Yeah. There's got to be a water bet here. Oh, yeah, for sure. Okay, so Hoyer's taken on New Orleans. I believe what Andy's referring to is that Rob Ryan was released of duties. Have you seen the Rob Ryan quotes? The Rob Ryan quotes are amazing.

Yes, he is... Where he said they're blaming Katrina on him now? Yeah, he is... He's an interesting fellow. He said that they are ranked 33rd in the league in defense out of 32 teams, so someone had to go. Yeah. That's pretty funny. And why I don't think that will matter is because it's still the same defensive players. I just don't think changing the scheme with... They did have a bye week. I'll give them that. But...

I think Brian Hoyer and the Texans are really heating up. DeAndre Hopkins... Well, Hoyer has been out. He missed a week. Okay. A week and a half of a game. I don't think... Okay. Go ahead. We got a bet. Something. It was a concussion. It wasn't like a shoulder that he's coming back from. I said the Texans are heating up. Yeah. If you would take the wax out your ears... You said Hoyer and the Texans. Okay.

Hoyer and the Texans are heating up. I will stand by the statement. Waterbet you said it wrong. You know, I like the pick personally because New Orleans defense has been so, so bad that if they come out of the buy and are playing better, more motivated by a new defensive coordinator, they might just be bad instead of...

Terrible? So bad. And Hoyer has put up decent fantasy games, even in games where he has not been a great NFL quarterback. I won't water bet you. Two touchdowns. No, no, I will not water bet that. And I was about to say, I'm not going to water bet it because they can't run the ball. And so if they score, I think they're going to score a couple touchdowns. And they'll probably go with Hoyer. So, hmm, so that sounds like I made a good streaming pick. Yes, it does. Yeah. All right.

I'll go next. It's fine. It's fine. Since we are on, since we are recording this on a Tuesday, I am, I'm going to tie this to Alshan Jeffrey's health. I think he'll be back. It was a terrible matchup this last week in cold weather. Jay Cutler, my last week's sit of the week, who has been playing.

fantastic. I really, really like every single thing I've seen Jay Cutler do this year. I think he's a good quarterback right now. You like everything you've seen him do? Literally almost every single thing I've seen him do. Even this last week, I thought he played okay football. His turnovers were truly not his fault. They were, you know, a crazy guy coming in, breaking the line behind him, pops the ball up and an offense or a defensive lineman.

caught the ball backwards, just fell into his hand. That's his interception. And, you know, the reason I had him as a sit of the week was extreme, extreme cold weather. The Broncos... You know he's going to play Green Bay. No, I know, I know. But he's coming off of the Broncos...

pass rush, the Broncos secondary, the Broncos weather. So all of those things this week, I think, get a little bit easier for him. I believe that this is a higher scoring game. Vegas has this as a 47 point spread, which is the second highest of the week, not a lot of high Vegas odds this week. So I think Jay Cutler, he's been playing great, but I am hitching this to Alshan Jeffrey's health. If Alshan is out there, I think he's going to have a fine week. I'd be happy to start him. I'm going to go with Marcus Mariotta. And Marioata has been a

quarterback two, right, like a two quarterback league type of guy this season. And he's had three or four games that have been kind of great performances, guys, you know, ones you can rely on. Kendall Wright's back. It's a big help. And Mario is at home against Oakland. Oakland is one of the worst teams in the league and giving up points to quarterbacks. They've been a little bit better lately. But I think Mario is a guy that you can stream and has a pretty safe baseline. He's been playing well.

Okay, they were in the lead up until three minutes left, and a special team's failure last game. It wasn't a pretty game. I'm not saying it was. But Delaney Walker, Kendall Wright, and Dorio Greenbeckham can get it done for Mario, a couple touchdowns, some yards on the ground, and maybe you'll get a third one in there. Yeah. So, Kendall Wright makes a big difference to him. Yeah, so, all right, I'm sorry, Mike. I want to apologize for the Brian Hoyer. It's not bad. It's not bad. I just, I don't like the whole piece of Hoyer coming back off of this injury, and it's not like,

I mean, I guess he's had a couple stream-worthy games. So I'll let you sit with Hoyer. He absolutely has had some stream-worthy. Before he went out in our scoring format, six-point per touchdowns, he had a four-week stretch 28 fantasy points, 33, 27, and 25. So all... That's pretty good. All good. All good. All right. All right. And what was the bad game? Who was that against? But not the concussion game. Uh...

The Cincinnati game? Isn't that when he got the... He was bad against Cleveland. Right? Cleveland. No? No? Oh, Cleveland wasn't. He hasn't had a bad game. His bad game was week one. Week one when he was missed. Never mind. I stand by... Let me ask you this, Jason. Where are you going to have DeAndy Hopkins rated this week? Number one is the best. Well, based on your matchup polarization, I think that...

You drank him higher than one in some way. Yeah, he's going to be zero. You really, I think you might, didn't you say yesterday at lunch you want to just find the quarterback playing New Orleans and stream them the rest of the year? Yeah, and that's why Mike got in Hoyer as his pick before me. Yeah. But he would have been my pick. And honestly, if you're listening and you've got Jay Cutler and Brian Hoyer, my own personal vote would be for Brian Hoyer. All right. We'll be back tomorrow with our jumbo-sized two-pack.

show probably i don't know how long it'll be but we're going to get everything in all the matchups we're going to get your starts your sits all the news breaking uh information hopefully we have some news on lynch got news on uh maybe amandola situation and and we'll break it all to you we'll be on twitter at the f f baller sharing that news as well you got anything to add mike you look like you have something to say i'm going to bring snacks for tomorrow's show i got to keep my blood sugar up
