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

What are some other names? What's crazy to me is, so DeWill, I agree. He's owned in about half of leagues on ESPN and Yahoo. But Alfred Morris is still only owned in 15% of leagues in ESPN and 13% for Yahoo. He should be owned in 100% of leagues by the Ezekiel owner. Yeah. But if he's on waivers and I'm not the Ezekiel owner, unless I just have, unless my bench is stacked, I want a flyer.

You know, look, you can't play Alfred Morris. You can play in a pinch Belal Powell. But I would rather have Alfred Morris than Belal Powell on my bench because the upside should their starters go out is higher. Last year, the most owned player on championship rosters was Tim Hightower. Exactly. So if you took a chance and grabbed him and you stashed him away, and we've seen this before, we've had it happened last year in our league of record every Sunday morning.

uh one of the owners would throw a random handcuff almost not random but a wisely selected handcuff on his bench just in case that week the injury happened de angelo williams ended up on his team he could ride de angelo williams for several weeks it's a smart and prudent move and that's why the decision you're making as a fantasy owner comes down to the upside of an alfred morris or do you go sign a ho-hum type of guy to just sit there right

I mean, that's, I'd rather have the upside because that'll win you your league. Yeah, I mean, we talked earlier about Paul Perkins, for instance. Paul Perkins right now is in a timeshare, and we hope he gets a little bit more work. Should Rashad Jennings be completely injured, then Paul Perkins probably has plug and play startability, but what's his upside? I consider him in the category. So you, I guess for me, I just. Dixon and Perkins, these guys that are young.

with the opportunity. I mean, yeah, they're not a great running team, but that has something to do with the players running the ball. Especially if they can catch the ball. Yeah. And Paul Perkins can catch. So other guys, real quick, Mike Gillisley. Yes. So if you're a shady owner, you know, you know the story. You know the dance. Shady runs. Then he gets tackled. Then he limps around. And then he goes back to the back of the huddle. Bilal Powell for Matt Forte owners needs to be owned. And, um,

You know, we talked about Dixon and Perkins. Is there any other guys you want to bring up, or do we want to move on to tight ends? Um, no, I'm not going to say Ronnie Hillman, not going to do it. Oh, he looked okay. I know. I think he might be the best running back. He looked better than Asiata. He looked better than McKinnon. Yeah, he did. So Cameron Artist Payne is a decent. You have to own him if you're, if you're Jonathan Stewart. All right. But other than that, I mean.

Slim pickings. Maybe Alfred Blue. Yeah. I love Michael Keaton. I wouldn't own Alfred Blue. Tight in pickups this week. He had some good performances from Eric Ebron again. He's pretty well owned. Seven for 92. Hopefully you picked him up last week as an option if you didn't have one of those elite tight ends. Cameron Brate scored again. He's all right. I mean, that's my best description for Cameron Bray. He's okay.

But here's the thing that separates a great tight-in and a not great tight-in is can they crap your team. And, you know, Bray can craft your team very easily. Most of these guys can. You want to know a guy who can. I guess he can crap your team because all tight-ins can. And he certainly did this last week. This guy that only got two for 14. But I would be willing to pick him up and play him this week will be Dennis Pitta.

Dennis Pitta has still been very involved in the passing game. They didn't need him a lot. This last game script against Pittsburgh, they got up to that 21 to nothing lead, and it was just kind of a different game because of, in part, that Mike Wallace 95-yard touchdown that took an offensive drive away, gave them points. Dennis Pitta before that, four receptions, six receptions, seven receptions. This week plays against Cleveland, who we've talked about it before. They've given up over 100 yards more.

to the tight end than the second place. They are the worst of the worst. This last week, we saw Jason Witten go for 11, 147, and 2 against them. So I think Dennis Pitta is a fine pickup for a week. C.J. Fedorwitz, he's back. Don't forget about it. Bye week. He was on the by week. He has certainly been heating up, despite Brock Osweiler being a bucket of ice, trying to douse his flames, trying to put him down.

And Lance Kendricks has been getting it done the last couple of weeks. Seven for 90 and a. Drops touchdown. Unbelievable drop touchdown. And the Jacob Tammy still not practicing, which puts Austin Hooper in play to stream against Philadelphia. All right. Some streaming defense options for this week. Some guys, some teams that you like. You know, the Ravens take on the Browns on Thursday. Delightful. That one jumps out at you right away. I think you can play both sides of the Jets Rams game.

Yep. You can play the Jets versus the Rams or you can play the Rams versus the Jets. I think there's going to be a lot of scoring in this game. By the defense. By the defenses. So which might hurt your defense. We don't know. This is going to be a nasty game. What do you think about starting the Washington defense against these struggling Vikings? I don't mind it. No, I mean, certainly. That offensive line is the worst. Yeah, the Vikings are a team that you look to target for a defense playing against them. All right. Are we?

Going to talk quarterbacks now? Let's do it. Full stream ahead. All right. I'm going to kick this one off with my streaming quarterback option because he plays before your two guys do. He plays on Thursday. And we're talking about Joe Cool. Joe Flacco versus Cleveland on Thursday night football. I think some 49er fans might.

be sad that I disparaged the memory of Joe Montana there by calling Joe Falaco Joe Cool. But he's going to be Joe Cool against Cleveland this week. Joe Cool is Snoopy. The OG. Yeah. Look, we talked about Steve Smith's back. Mike Wallace had a big game. But the real storyline here is I'm not going to make a case for the Ravens offense being.

The greatest thing in the world. I'm going to make a case for the Cleveland defense being the worst thing in the world. They've given up three touchdowns to quarterbacks in five of the last seven games. Oh, my. There's not been one game this season. They haven't given up a quarterback touchdown to a quarterback. So you have this baseline that's built in with Joe Flacco. And you got a whole ton of upside with the amount of three touchdown games they've given up. They are porous, to say the least. And I think you're going to...

Just watched Joe Flacco take advantage of matchups for Dennis Pitta, for Steve Smith, for Mike Wallace. I'm very curious to see the usage level in this game as an aside of Dixon and West. Yes. But Joe Flacco, streaming quarterback of the week. The nice thing we've seen on that matchup is some matchups, you go, okay, this is great for the quarterback, but bad for the running backs, you know, or vice versa.

Everyone just eats. It's good for everyone. It's good for all. Come to the table. You don't have to worry about. Well, what if the running backs get touchdowns? Oh, they will. Oh, they will. Cleveland Browns are like a fantasy football golden corral. Yes. Oh, that's great. All right. I'll kick it off next. Grab your febreeze. You know who's not on blast this week? Jay Cuddy's mom.

Jay Cutt his mom's not on blast this week because I am picking Jay Cutler as my stream of the week. He hasn't done much for fantasy production this year. He hasn't played much. Exactly. He's only played in, he's only played and finished two games. They were against Houston with JJ Waugh on the road. Great, you know, defense to open the year. And Minnesota last week, which he looked pretty good. 252 yards and a touchdown. No turnovers against Minnesota. That.

That level 250 and 1, it's not going to get it done for your, you know, it's not crapping your team completely, but that's not a great fantasy game, but that's against Minnesota. Now he's had the buy week. He's getting a little healthier with that offhand, and he plays on the road against Tampa Bay. He's got plenty of weapons now with Alshan Jeffrey, hopefully arrested up, Eddie Royal, Cameron Meredith, Zach Miller. I think this is a game where you're going to get 250 and 2.

from Jay Cutler and should the, you know, I think Chicago's defense is okay and they might be able to hold Tampa Bay a little lower. That's where I'm expecting that 250 and 2. But should Tampa Bay catch fire and this game become a shootout, which could happen, then, you know, Jay Cutler has a high upside with a decent floor. Speaking of shootouts, I'm throwing out Trevor Simeon, he's taking on the Saints. We're talking a 49 point over under from the wise guys in Vegas.

Denver's defense right now is susceptible. There are many injuries. You have Akeeb Talib who may be out. You have Derek Wolf now dealing with the hairline fracture of some kind. Last week, Semyon against the Oakland Raiders, 283 and 2. That's fine. I'll take that every single day of the week. And so Trevor Semean against the Saints, I think there is an opportunity for him to have a good to great game. In that game.

Do you sit the Denver Broncos defense this week? I certainly consider it. Yeah, I think you probably do, right? Yeah, you don't want to box yourself into this. I have to start them every week when you've got a matchup like this. So let me, before we close out the show, I want to give you guys a couple of opportunities here to play a little game with me. I want to see if you guys can guess who was the target leader this past week. Oh, in the NFL? In the NFL. Jason Witten? No.

No. Oh, wait, it's Greg Olson, right? No. No, I disagree. It is Greg Olson. No, who is the target? Give me the top three. Like, give me some names that might be in the top three of targets. Oh, man.

Well, you usually, usual suspects of Antonio Brown. Brown had 11 and he was number 8. Julio was number 7. Mike Evans. Mike Evans was the target leader. Of course. 17 targets. You forget the Thursday games. Stefan Diggs, 14 targets. Yeah. And then Robert Woods at number at 13 targets. Touch leaders. Touch leaders on the week. Melvin Gordon. Oh, for sure. 36 touches. 32 of them.

rushes. Jay Ajay, 27 touches was number two, and LaShawn McCoy with 25. Touches was number three there. So, and much to what you said earlier, Sammy Coates, Sammy Coates left the most yards on the field. When you look at opportunity for yards, 133, and actually Jordy Nelson had 157, but coach was right there with him, Marvin Jones as well. Melvin Gordon, owners, Kenneth Farrow.

would be your backup. If you're running back who's going to touch the ball 36 times a game, I'm going to have his backup on my team. Yeah, yeah.
