Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 6 Waivers, Streams of the Week, Injury News

The number one pickup. If they are still available, they might have been picked up this last week because they had a decent matchup, but Buffalo to me, they've been on fire. They are playing at home against San Francisco. There is no way that they don't get. What's the over under here on interceptions? Two? I would put it at two. Yeah, I would put it at two. What's the overrunner on sacks? Like four? Yeah. The bills are a great play, but they're only available in about 20% of leagues. So.

Lower percentage chance. How about the Titans? The Titans versus the Browns. I think I like that more than the Lions. I do. I certainly like the Titans more than the Browns have been prone to turnovers. Who's playing quarterback for them? And that is a great reason. I don't know. That is a great reason to play the Titans. And look, the Titans defense, they've been okay. And shockingly, people don't realize this. The Titans defense was good last year.

They won three games, and you never see a team that wins three games with a good defense. But they were actually, you know, like, I don't know, 16th or 17th in most categories last year, which I wouldn't say is great. But you're certainly not, you know, like last year's Jacksonville Jaguars or the other teams that won very few games. And so you're at home against some amalgamist quarterback situation, and you've got a good defense. I like the Titans quite a bit.

Sure. And then the last one I put in here, Steelers at Miami. I think he's imploding. I think we talked about this, that I don't think Ryan Tanahill will be long for Miami. There's all the rumors of the benching. The fan base wants him benched. This week. It's not a terrible play. You know, look, I hate to say this out loud, but I wouldn't be surprised if he has a pretty good week this week.

Fantasy-wise. Because of garbage. Yes, because of garbage time. They're going to be down a lot. I can agree with that. But that certainly doesn't secure your NFL job. Right. The only other thing I would say on quarterbacks, Blake Bortles, Carson Palmer. Those guys are guys that are not usually available. Because Carson was out with an injury and Blake Bortles was out with a concussion, they had to be dropped by certain owners. I know Carson Palmer is available in a quarter of leagues. I would pick him up.

More importantly. So let's talk about, what's that? I was going to say, the quarterbacks who are owned in very few leagues that you would start this one. Oh, okay. But I got to do this. I got to do this. Breaking news. I didn't put the drop on the board for this section. So that's what you get. What? Oh, wait, the breaking news is that we don't have the right segment in. That's right, America. Oh, man. Breaking news. Andy.

Andy come back to us. I can just keep any fun drops. Oh, my. Oh, man. This is Andy's worst nightmare coming true. This is just wacky DJ, wacky FM DJ time. All right. What that drop should have been was the full stream of head drop where we are going to give you streaming quarterbacks. And these are quarterbacks that are available. We usually try to keep it at least 40 to 50%.

in your leagues that you can pick up off your waiver. Why are they, we think they have a good matchup and that you can just plug them in and feel very confident starting it. I'll kick it off to you, Jason. You can go first. That's the opposite of kicking. I'm going to kick it off. I guess like a kickoff. Yeah. I bet you feel dumb now. I do. That's, that's good because I felt dumb three seconds ago. All right. That's fine. I'll, uh, I'll give mine. My quarterback streamer this week.

We've talked about him a lot the last few weeks. In fact, he has either been the streamer of the week for one of us or the start of the week for one of us since he has taken over. We alluded to it a minute ago that since he has taken over, he's the number three quarterback. What? Tearing it up. What world are we living in where Brian Hoyer? Brian Hoyer has been a very good fantasy quarterback for these last three weeks. Since he took over.

he has averaged three hundred and thirty eight yards and two touchdowns a game with zero interceptions when we look for a streaming candidate when you're out there mining the waiver wire looking at what vegas says looking at the defense looking at the offense we are trying to aim for

250 yards and two touchdowns, right? If you get 250 yards and two touchdowns, you're happy. You're set. If you drafted a solid team and didn't take that quarterback early, that's what you need every week. And he is blowing that away. Now, he plays the Jaguars this week. And I will say this, the Jaguars defense, they have been averaging about like 220 yards given up per week. Through the year. Yes, yes, to the quarterback specifically, which is really good for the Jaguars.

But I think what you're going to see here is a game very similar to like Chicago last week. They hadn't given up 250 yards through the air yet. And Andrew Luck comes in. The game script gets out of control. And this is, you know, the Blake Borrell's versus the Hoyer. You're going to have points on the clock. The over under in Vegas is 47. There should be enough points scored. You saw Cameron Meredith. Cameron Meredith with the good game. I think he has a fine.

stream of the week. I'd be happy to start him. I love it. I'm staying in those flames. Those are white, blue hot flames with Brian Hoy. You've got three in a row. You're not chasing points anymore. You're just playing a hot quarterback. I'm going to go with Dak Prescott. And look, Dallas is going up into Green Bay. I know that Green Bay shut down Eli Manning. They were coming off the by week. And the giants right now are one dimensional. We talked about this on the show that the Packers defense.

was set up in a position that said, you want to run the ball? Go ahead. Because we are not defending the run, and the Giants still could not run, because their team just cannot do that. You know who can run the ball? The Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys and Zeke EasyE Elliott, who's had the best game of his career last week. So you throw all that together. I think that Dak Prescott, who has been playing great himself. He hasn't been...

blowing it up for fantasy. But why I like Dak is I think that he is a safe play this week. We talked about the 250 and 2. I think Dak is very safe to give you that or the equivalent. He's running three touchdowns this year. He's not running a ton, but when he's near the end zone, if nothing is there, he'll run it. Yeah. So I think that that Dak, even without Des, is still just a safe play for...

that will not blow up your team. He'll give you a nice floor for the quarterback. Yeah, I like this because there's almost no way that they do what they did against the Giants, which is just basically run, you know, two deep safeties the whole game. You can't. They're not doing that against the Cowboys. They're going to stack that box and try to stop EasyE. And when they do that, Dak is going to be able to throw on them. He's been very good this year. I like that. I'm going to throw out one more. Andy did not give us a name. He's on vacation. We're not going to make him do it.

But I know Andy well. And I like this name. I know. But I don't have the courage to put my name on this. This is why we're putting Andy's name on it. Because I said I'm done. I'm done with this guy. And then he was the quarterback won last week. So, yeah, Andy is going to, unbeknownst to him, pick Marcus Mariotta. He was very high on Marioata early in the off season. Things, you know, the tea leaves. He got off of that. But we're not chasing last week's points, right?

Last week, Marks Marietta as the number one quarterback, it was weird. He only had 163 passing yards, but you saw him use his legs. He had four total touchdowns. Was that hit 163? Yeah. But you saw him with four total touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, plenty of rushing yards. If you just extrapolate the rushing yards into passing yards, then he had a great passing game. Sure. But this week he takes on at home, the Cleveland Browns, who are averaging 300 yards and 2.6.

touchdowns a game. 2.6 might not seem like a lot because you have those big games. It's like, oh, there's four touchdowns. 2.6 is an average this deep in. That has a lot of touchdowns just to quarterbacks. Not total. Just quarterbacks are averaging 2.6 touchdowns against them. So Mariotta, another safe play, I think, if you want to stream someone. So that's going to wrap up the show. Jason, we did it.

We did it. Andy will be back tomorrow. We made it through the two shows without the legitimate host of the show. I am very disappointed, very, very disappointed in our lack of falling apart. I wanted. Well, we had a little moment here with the drop. No, I'm not saying mistakes. I wanted to just, you know, go. Let's go talk about whatever we want. Oh, yeah. Derail. Derail.
