Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 10 Waivers, Streams of the Week, FootClanHelp.com

football for three and a half quarters. So Sammy Coates is still the big play guy. He's entrenched as that number two. There was at least four or five deep shots to him. Like I said, Big Ben was not on. Coach did drop a touchdown. So he just, he is a, they're going to take those four shots, four big play shots to him every single week. And I think more often than not, they'll get at least one of them. So he's a good pickup to me. They're taking on Dallas this weekend.

Jason, talk to me about some of your favorite wide receiver pickups, or have we already talked about really the big headliners in your opinion? No, I don't think we have in the sense that most people out there, you know, I think good leagues, you're not going to be able to pick up Steve Smith and Jameson Crowder. But two guys that I think you will be able to pick up, that you will be able to play and they will perform this week, are on the same team. John Brown? John Brown? J.J. Nelson. And J.J. Nelson. Now, John Brown might be owned, but because of the bye week,

uh that we saw a lot of leagues dropping john brown j j nelson is almost certainly available coming off of the buy and he's j j nelson announced as the starter he's been announced as the starter this is arizona wide receiver ahead of people don't know j j nelson that's fair

Yeah, good point to point that out. JJ Nelson, Arizona wide receiver starting over Michael Floyd. He has been very good. He just is coming off an 8 for 79 and 2 touchdown game. And now we're going up against San Francisco. That's a juicy matchup. There should be plenty of scoring opportunities there for everyone involved. And I think if you need a spot start, he's a great guy to look at. Also, another spot start. Rashad Matthews.

I'm just throwing him out there. Richard Matthews is a good wide receiver. What? In general. Oh, this was me saying, I said I would not sign him. Yes. It's hard to trust any Titans. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't. No, what? You're giving poor advice. No, against Green Bay, I expect Richard Matthews to be able to have a fine game. I will bet you anything you want on Richard Matthews. Okay. I think he will be a wide receiver three. You're saying he will not be a wide receiver three. Wow.

Water bet. That's a terrible bet. For who? For you? Why? He's been in double digits or at nine points for five weeks. For five straight weeks and he plays Green Bay. I think it's a safe bet. That's a pretty good bet for Richard Matthews to be a wide receiver three. Touchdown dependent. If I was going to pick a game where he gets touchdown, this would be near the top of the list. All right. I'm willing to make the bet.

We'll come back. We'll circle around. Did we need to talk about any bets from last week? I mean, I feel like we made some on the show. Let me double check this because. Tavon versus Britt. Tavon versus Britt. Kenny Britt. It's got to be britt. 49 and a touchdown. The touchdown is going to be what puts them over the top. Yeah, you want to talk about bets more? That's another one I won. Did you look up Tavon Austin? Did he have any secret touchdowns? You didn't win that bet because you weren't in the bet. What?

That was being the ND. Kenny Britt? Yeah. I'm always on the Kenny Britt side. Didn't I tell you I wanted to include return yards in the bet. Price still lost. Some other names to throw out there. Marquise Lee had a good game 4-4-84. You know, he's getting targeted pretty regularly, deeper leagues. Will Fuller, you know, he's day-to-day. Some people might drop him this week because they're tired of it. He's somebody you could pick up for down the stretch. Eli Rogers had the big game. I'm not really...

You know, in a PPR league, I'd be okay with Eli Rogers. That's a monitor news situation where if Darius Hayward Bay is going to miss time, I think Eli Rogers' role will grow. I completely agree. Similar to that, Sterling Shepard should be talked about. Yeah. Because if Victor Cruz is out, he's worth picking up. What about Robert Woods after the 10 for 162 performance going on to the bye week? He was only owned in 15% of leagues. Probably be down to 10% ownership.

He's not the type of guy that I think you need to hold on to through a buy. Would you rather have long term, would you rather have Richard Matthews or Robert Woods? Oh, that's a good question. Robert Woods. Eli Rogers or Robert Woods. Robert Woods. Okay. Let's talk about the prime position. We're talking about the running backs. And we know down the stretch, the more depth that you can have at the running back position, the better off your team is going to be. You never know.

when a Derek Henry injury is going to take place. You never know when the next Tampa Bay starting running back goes down. Yeah, you do because it's this week. It's always this week. The more insurance you have, the better. So let's talk about some of the guys available. All right. Well, we've talked about him for the last.

several weeks, but James Starks is getting closer to return. He returned to limited practice this last week. I think that he gets on the field this week. That's a little too early to know Ironclad. That's just a guess right now. The arrow's pointing towards it. He's trending towards starting. I think he starts this week. Do you guys believe that with the return of Starks, you'll see...

a complete elimination of Montgomery in the backfield? I don't. I think you're going to see Starks and Montgomery splitting the RB reps. What's going to end up happening, I feel, is you won't see Montgomery's role change all that much as far as total carries. He was only getting, I think you got like eight carries last week. It'll probably get another eight carries. But what we're not going to see is Aaron Rogers throwing the ball 70 times a game.

We're going to see them actually try to have a running game with a running back. Go figure they're going to have one. Hopefully with James Stark's back is not the best matchup against Tennessee, but Arby's are always slim pickings. Similar to James Starks, though, a guy who's been injured coming back that I'm way more excited about would be Dionne Lewis. So what do you guys think or expect from Dionne Lewis? I don't know. I mean, I wish I could look into my crystal ball, but.

Belichick has covered it with some sort of hoodie. He's thrown it over the crystal ball. And I can't see it because Belichick is tough, man. I've talked about the fact that I didn't see James White being ushered into the corner. The second Lewis is back on the field. I mean, you've got a guy coming back from injury, by the way, twice, right? I mean, he had the major injury last year. Then you thought he was going to be ready for the beginning of the season, and he wasn't. And now he's coming back again against Seattle.

I expect nothing from him this week, fantasy-wise. But I agree this. I do see a teeny bit of the crystal ball, and there's a chance that because of the way James White's been utilized and played lately, that Lewis could end up helping fantasy owners quite a bit down the stretch. Yeah, I would agree with that. He is a must pickup for me, but there is no way I'm playing him this week. He is 30% owned in ESPN, 40% in Yahoo. So there are a lot of you that have just kind of.

held on to him, tucked him away, hidden him away, and you're waiting for him to come back out and perform. Now, two guys we mentioned on the show yesterday that I want to talk about are Kenneth Dixon and Paul Perkins. Now, Kenneth Dixon and Perkins, Perkins being, you know, the Giants running back Dixon from Baltimore, neither of them are heavily owned. And both of them seem to have an opportunity to potentially usurp their starters.

Perkins with Rashad Jennings in New York, and Kenneth Dixon with Terrence West in Baltimore. Now, you both said yesterday you think Dixon would be a better signing. Yeah. Why is that? Just Baltimore is a better team. They have a better offensive line. So the opportunity, if Kenneth Dixon is the start, let's say if all things being equal, you have Kenneth Dixon and Paul Perkins both getting 15 touches. Sure. I'd rather have Kenneth Dixon, but...

That's just both of them, I think, are, are worth picking up and stashing at this point. So Perkins had 11 carries last week. So we think both of those guys are worth the flyer, like we said, the running back position, very thin. You need to grab some guys. Let's talk about Peyton Barber. I say you can't move on without talking Peyton Barber. So Peyton Barber is the guy in Tampa. Anton Smith. By default. Out for the year. Not talked about enough. Yeah. Like that was, that's what I was saying. It was weird.

I watched the game. He went down. It looked catastrophic. The news came out, and people just weren't, it didn't really get picked up. So, Anton Smith is out. Doug Martin's still not practicing. There was hopeful words from Dirk Cutter last week that thought that Martin might be able to be back this week, but he's still not practicing. Jock Quiz is still in a walking boot. It's going to be Peyton Barber against the Chicago Bears, and that's a pretty good matchup.

for a running back and it might be all Peyton Barber. Who's even there? It's Payton Barber and Mike James. So it's going to be the Payton Barber Show. What if Carlos Hyde doesn't return this week? DeWan Harris is still available in a lot of leagues, but he has Arizona in Arizona.

Do you believe that DeWan Harris is a start worthy running back for week 10? Yeah, I think I do. I mean, you temper the expectations because of the good matchup, but you've seen Dewan Harris. He made most of his hay in the passing game. Exactly. And I think that you're going to have Arizona has always struggled with running quarterbacks.

There's the opportunity there for DeWan Harris to have some big chunk yardage on broken plays here or there, as we've seen him do already. If he is the starter, if Carlos Hyde is out, I think he would be an all right play. And I know we already brought him up, but I'm going to go back and just say, I think that the waiver pick up for me, like I look at this week, and I think it's pretty sparse, and you might need a start, and you might need someone a little bit longer term.

For me, I actually think Capri Bibbs might be, despite me saying that he's not going to take over and disagreeing with you, I think that that would be the guy I would be making my claim on. He's the highest upside potential, in my opinion, on the waiverware. Because of the matchup with New Orleans, you can start him even in a backup role. So you don't have to be sure that he's taking that over. I think you have the opportunity to start him with that potential.

that he becomes the guy. Now, I just don't think he's talented enough to be the guy, but opportunity makes... Opportunity is more important than talent for the running back position. And let's be clear here. The reason there's an opportunity for Capri Bibbs is not because of one 69-yard run. It's because of the very inefficient play of Devante Booker in the last game. I believe he was something like 11 for 22, did some things that Gary Kubiak did not like. And as we know, I don't think any of us believe Rob Kelly is more talented.

than Matt Jones. I don't think we believe that Tim Highter is more talented than Mark Ingram. But if you do some things your coach doesn't like, opportunities open up for your backups. And speaking of backups, let's talk about some handcuffs and some handcuffs. Before you jump into handcuff, Rob Kelly, the news was Jay Gruden has said. I haven't categorized as, what, like a, is that a maturing handcuff? Yeah, Jay Gruden has said that Matt Jones will have to earn.

his way back onto the field that Rob Kelly is viewed at least as of right now as the team's early down running back. So that means Matt Jones is probably a pretty good handcuff. Unavailable one. Unfortunately, Rob Kelly takes on Minnesota this week. So Jones gets the job back next week. Possibly. So he's a pickup. Who are the must own handcuffs going down the stretch? The guys that come to mind as the.

premium targets if you are you know if you've listened to us long enough you know our thoughts on handcuffing in the draft you don't do it really right you don't use those roster spots but we've talked about as you get down to the end of the season as all these injuries take place super important super important to have the premium handcuffs that mean because if you lock these guys up

You have somebody to start. I mean, and a player that will produce for you in the playoffs. Every week on the waiver show, there's usually that guy that's like, oh, you've got to pick him up because the starter got injured. And in half of the leagues out there, you go, oh, he was already picked up last week. That's the goal. That's the goal with these handcuffs is pick the guy up before they go. For me, the number one guy is Alfred Morris. Alfred Morris, behind that Dallas Cowboys line, he would be a regular plug-and-play, top five running back.

for fantasy should Ezekiel Elliott go out or possibly get, you know, there's still the whirlwinds of some possible suspension. I don't expect that to happen. But we know he would get it done there. So he's the guy I would want the most. Yep. DeAngelo Williams has to be right with him. Absolutely. Yes. Because we have a history now, two consecutive years of Levy on Bell's injuries at the end of the season. DeAngel Williams ensures your team has a top tier running back. We've seen D.U.L. without Lev Bell.
