Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 12 Waivers & QB Streamers + Smooches!

For speeding, driving without a license, operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in a system. The interesting thing about this is this was an unreported piece of news. This was back in early October. This was before his first start. So Coach McCarthy knew about this incident. It is helpful to know that. And still went with Aaron Jones multiple times. So for his future on the team, I'm not going to panic. If the coaches didn't know about this.

Then it would be a curtains for Aaron Jones, I believe. But he played well. And when you play well, coaches tend to overlook certain incidents off the field.

All right, we're going to jump into the waiver wire segment of the show. Before we do that, I just want to remind you that my dynasty team is 11 and 0. Oh, congratulations. My dynasty team is hashtag undefeated. Lowest points against. It continues. It does it again. I have the, Mike, stop. Stop throwing shade on my 11 and no season. Most points scored. Yeah, Andy's got a really solid point there, though. No, because lowest points against means that there's those weeks that come up.

What do I control? I control my points scored, and I'm the best in the league. Mike is dreaming of meeting me. Now, at this point, Mike, I'm 11 or no in case you didn't hear. At this point, I have two weeks left in the regular season, and you have threatened to defeat me in the playoffs and ruin my life. Yes. Are you hoping at this point that I complete the regular season perfect? Yes. Very much so.

Okay, so that the pain will be more severe. Yes, because the fall from the top into that spiky pit of doom. Welcome to fantasy football at its best. If you go, look, if we meet in the championship game and you're undefeated and I pull out that win, that will be the signature win of my entire fantasy football career. It looks like right now. It looks like right now. We're going to have an opportunity here. Brooks plays Andy.

before the season is over. Don't screw this up for me, Brooks. Brooks is my final regular season game. You know, hopefully I'm going to win this week and then I beat him next week. Both Mike and I are currently playoff bound. Well, you're definitely in and I am in as of this moment. So we have three opportunities here to take you down. Now, Mike could knock you out of the playoffs before he knocks me out. That is true. So Mike could have this signature. Yeah. Welcome to the end of this season. Oh, man. That'll be a stamp.

That'll be the tattoo on the side. All right, waiver time. Did I already push the button? No. Okay. I'm going to push the button. Watch, watch me. Put me in, coach. I was just so distracted by my record. It's just so shiny. Yeah. All right, wide receivers. Let's talk about some waiver pickups this week. We've talked about the injuries. Pyrite. Oh, my season. My season. Pyrite. I see what you're doing there. Yeah, a little fool's gold. Get a little. We'll see. All right. We'll see. All right.

Wide receivers that are probably owned, but worth checking on in your league. Tennessee Titans wide out rookie Corey Davis. Corey Davis, three for 27 on seven targets this past week, but he does have a juicy matchup with Indianapolis. And then Robbie Anderson, he's probably owned, but he's coming off. Coming off the buy week. So if he's not owned. And for all the people, I know, I know some of you are you're operating your motor vehicle right now. Rolling the eyes going, ugh.

There is no chance that someone like Robbie Anderson would be available in leagues. Ladies and gentlemen, to drop it like it's hot rule, you have to check every day to see who has dropped because some of these tweets we have seen come through of Foot Clan listeners going, I just happened to check. And someone tried to smuggle player X through and it was unbelievable. And they just snatched them right off the way. Happens all the time. Yes. And it always follows.

them saying that they were like, I can't believe you said to look for this guy. It never happened. And they're like, oh my goodness, it happened. And I got him. Just take a little peek. Didn't you talk about Somaget P. Ryan in one of your leagues was sitting out there? Yeah. Last week. Yeah. Last week I had no fab in my money league. So I couldn't put anything on Somaget. And I was kind of overloaded already at running backs. But there he was. Once waivers ran, it's like, well, I'm the.

not going to not pick him up. So I grabbed him. And now I have this week's top waiver. Yeah. Well, what's amazing about that, I know we're in the wide receiver section, but he's only 35% owned now. People. He should have been. We talked about this last week. 100% owned after last week. Yeah.

That means we currently have 35% of the podcast market. The foot clan is in about 35% of leagues. I love it. That's the math. If P. Rhine's ownership percentage is directly proportional to our saturation levels. We can do better. Yeah. Need to move that needle up. All right.

He's your favorite waiver wire pickup at the wide receiver position. Those were guys that are probably owned. Now we're talking main waiver wire pickups. Some interesting stat lines this week. You guys tell me who your favorites because I have several that I'm into. Corey Coleman, six for 80 on 11 targets. By far the best wide receiver there in Cleveland right now. Josh Doxon finally had a bigger yardage game. Four for 81, seven targets. Seems like the guy. That's my favorite wide receiver pickup.

of the week. It was the quarterback there in Washington that makes him the more attractive option. And on top of that, Chris Thompson's gone for the season. That's true. Who was one of the top pass catching options? I theorize that more targets will be coming for Josh Doxon. And if you watched the Washington, New Orleans game, the breakout was happening. Four for 81. And that was, I think that was all in the first half on seven targets. And the targets that they missed were end zone targets just.

Barely. I think that he had two possible touchdown that he just, it was once again, just a barely misconnection. Which is going on a couple weeks of having those. Sure. But I think that those eventually, we know that things return to the mean. Just swallowed his throat again. You still want to hear. You still want to see those happen. Swamp monster. And so Chris Thompson out, opportunity up. And it was the second half if you, game script.

GameScript had gone completely in favor of Washington, just trying to kill the clock. So that's why I think they kind of stopped going to Josh Doxon. So he's likely my top receiver of this group. Do not sleep in a deeper league on Ryan Grant. I'm telling you, if Chris Thompson's out with prior out and Thompson out, Ryan Grant has had at least three catches since week six in every single week.

Now, this past week he had the big touchdown, and I realize he's more of a possession guy. But three to five catches a week. Probably not going to get it done for you, though. In a deeper league, if you're looking for an option, that's all. There was a prerec there. All right. I would agree with you, Mike, that Josh Doxon is my number one.

closely followed by Corey Coleman. It's funny to look back at last year. Think about you had the three monster wide receivers that, you know, LaQuan Treadwell, Josh Doxon, Corey Coleman. These guys are going to be amazing and they all were worthless busts their rookie year. But now here we stand going into week 12 a year later. And it looks like Josh Doxon and Corey Coleman, really talented wide receivers.

have the opportunity that you hoped they were going to get last year. So those are the two guys I would absolutely be targeting. But I do put Josh Dawson ahead. He has more time right now, more practice time in, the better quarterback, the better offense. Kenny Stills against New England offers some upside of Matt Moore starting. Marky's good one. Coming off the bye week on a bad team, I think he's been forgotten about. I doubt he's owned in your league. And he is playing well. Yes, sir. Yes.

But doesn't he play the Legion of Boom? He plays the former Legion of Boom. As Twitter correct to me, when I failed on my joke, I should have called them the Legion of Gloom. But here's the thing. Marky's Goodwin, similar to when I was talking up T.Y. Hilton against the Seahawks, he's the type of receiver who can have success because they are grabby. And if they miss or whiff on one play, then Goodwin is gone. He will be behind the coverage.

And if we're not really sure, do we think it's Bethard or do you think that Garoppolo is going to start? I haven't heard any news. Probably Bethard, but we, yeah, we're waiting to hear. Regardless, I do agree. Good one is sneaky. Yeah, he's sneaky and he is the type. And they, you know, if you look at last night's game, they were playing one deep zone safety, that's it. And if you get him moved to one side of the field and get Goodwin running down the other. How interested are you in Mike Wallace after the big game, Josh Gordon?

coming back in a couple weeks. If you're in a redraft league, is Josh Gordon attractive to you at all? Hugh Jackson did say it's like Christmas having Josh Gordon at practice. Only in Cleveland would Christmas be like getting back this multi suspended? But I was going to say on top of that. I mean, they've been all over the place. Reports have been with Josh Gordon, you know, like, yeah, we're done with him. Maybe we'll hold on to him. Now we're going to trade him. Oh, now it's fantastic that he's back. Yeah, we'll see. And we're still.

Wait, can he play this week? Or is that next week? No, he cannot. Okay. It would still be much. He's practicing all the boxes. It would be only in deeper leagues. If you're, you know, if you've got that two or three flex, you know, 14, 16 team leagues where you're scraping at the bottom, that's where I'd be looking for Gordon right now. Paul Richardson led Seattle with targets last night. He's probably out there if you need a spot start. Got San Francisco this week, which makes, you know, a juicy matchup.

You know, another guy that I said last week I didn't want to forget about this week coming off the by, and it's, you know, a name that isn't big is Russell Shepard. Russell Shepard has been a primary target for Carolina and with Kelvin Benjamin gone. I'm actually changing my tune on it, though. Do you want to know why? Yeah, I would love to hear it. It just has to do with Greg Olson becoming healthy. I don't know if him returning.

and what Russell Shepard actually struggling last week gives me less confidence in him. Do you still have confidence to pick him up? I see all these other options I'd pick up before him. Yeah, I mean, he's a guy that I would pick up more as a stash than a start this week. He's got a good matchup against the Jets, but you want to see how he's utilized. But he has the, you know, injury has, or not injury in this case, trade has caused the opportunity for Russell Shepard to be a true number two. Cam Newton is...

looked better as of late. So I would still be willing to pick him up to see if he becomes fantasy relevant. Would you rather pick up Russell Shepard, Cooper Cup, or Jeremy Macklin? Cooper Cup is the guy right now with Robert Woods out that I would prefer to pick up. I agree. All right. We're going to talk running back waiver options, get you ready for this week.
