Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 11 Waivers & QB Streamers

going forward. And here's some of the schedule. Let's just take the next three weeks where it looks like both of these players will be valuable. Jamal Williams is at home against Baltimore. Not that great. On the road against Pittsburgh, not that great. Although they're much better against the pass than the run. And then Tampa Bay, which is great. But by three weeks from now, I assume Ty Montgomery will be back. Then you've got Simajai Pryne, who's at New Orleans. I don't think that's too bad of a matchup.

The New York Giants at home. Yes, please. And then on the road against Dallas. This isn't really necessarily matchup based decision for me. This is Somaget P. Ryan, because he's the clear one, two, down back while Jamal Williams was going to make the same argument in reverse. Oh, really? Oh, this is great. Yeah, I was going to make the argument that look, Jamal Williams is the clear one two down back. But is he? Yes.

He is while Ty Montgomery's out. Well, sure. But you're dealing with Montgomery's injury. You're dealing with Rob Kelly's injury. But Rob Kelly is not. He's gone. But you have Chris Thompson involved there. Yeah, of course. There's always multiple running backs. But Ty Montgomery might play this weekend. Rob Kelly will not play for multiple weeks. Who's higher odds of 20 carries, though? I feel like that is Jamal Williams.

Yeah, that's fair. The irony of all this. But who has the higher touchdown upside? P. Ryan on a better offense. Yes. Absolutely. And this is why my actual answer to Jay. No, no, no, no. Every argument's good, but my actual answer to Jason was going to be, I'd bid the same. And I would bid. You still got to order them. No. You have to. You have to priority. Don't make me. That's all the system. I'm not making you. Okay. If I had to prioritize. You do. Legitimately.

Stop saying if. This is not hypothetical. In a hypothetical situation where I have to... Mr. Computer, please make my decisions. I would put P. Ryan, I would put them at the same amount of money, and I'd put P. Ryan one ahead. All right. And what amount of money would that be? But I'd be happy that the computer makes... My other league mates make the decision. What amount would that be? Relative to what my remaining balance and fab is?

I would say relative to your starting. You're $100 league. It's all based. That's tough because it's all based on whether I need to start somebody this week. Would you? If I just need to put them on my bench, I'd be bidding 10%. If I need. Let's talk about those who need them because that's the people really bidding. If you need them for a start, I'd be bidding half of what I had left, if not more. If I, if I need a running back.

Somaget P. Ryan and Jamal Williams, it's everything. So does that mean that the rest of these options? Matt Berita, who had a good week, Eccler, Lacey, who could play. They're not good enough. So you're bidding it all on P. Reiner Williams. Get the win. Get the week 11 win. Exactly. Move on to the playoffs. And you have a what looks like a long-term solution at the running back position, at least a long-term guy who will get touches and snaps where Barita is, we've seen this a couple weeks ago where.

He came in and Carlos Hyde was still the man. Berita just got the touchdown. Austin Eccler, while he's, you know, arguably a better running back than Melvin Gordon, he's still just the handcuffed. What if you could get Damien Williams for the same price as Jamal Williams or Samajai, would you? I would much rather have Jamal or Samaji. Really? Okay. What is Matt Berita in terms of rest of season and dynasty in that situation?

In rest of... Asking for a friend. Sure. Rest of season, he's still simply a handcuff that you, if you're panicked and have nothing else, you can throw him in there and hope that he gets a touchdown. For dynasty purposes, Carlos Hyde is really an enigma because you had all that weirdness of this past off season where they were going to move on from Carlos Hyde. The Lynch, the GM for the 49ers has made some...

really questionable decisions already this past off season the way he was handling things. So it wouldn't shock me if they get rid of Carlos Hyde. But football-wise, it would be stupid. It would be stupid to get rid of Carlos Hyde, the best running back on your team. You know, a name that we didn't bring up. A name that we didn't bring up with Orleans, Dark one, Alfred Moore says those probably owned guys.

From last night's game, Kenyon Drake is actually, you know, according to Yahoo, it's only 57% owned. So he's actually out there in a lot of leagues. And personally, I would rather have Kenyon Drake than Samadji P. Ryan or Jamal Williams. So I would throw him in that mix where I'd bid, you know, I feel like a couple really good matchups. Yeah. You can use them now. And he doesn't have anyone coming back.

to steal away touches. In fact, his prognosis going forward would be probably slowly week by week, just getting more and more touches as he's the superior talent. You would think. You would hope. Adam. Adam, if you are listening, I know you're a fan of the show. Put a little Kenyon Drake in the game a little bit more. Damien Williams sucks. Well, that's really nice of you.

I think you get a little hate on that. On my Damian Williams. People like him. I don't mind. People who are like Dolphins fans. Numbers don't lie. I don't mind Damian Williams the man. I just mind Damien Williams the running back. That's good. That's good. Eddie Lacey, Thomas Rawls, other possible ads. Danny Woodhead will be back. We don't know when. So he's still a kind of. So I've been looking into. A cursory play.

Yeah, I've been looking into the Danny Woodhead news because he is a guy that I think when he gets back, you know, when he gets plugged in, he's going to be great. He's going to be there for the fantasy playoffs and be a, you know, a guy that I believe will help win titles. They just released, the Baltimore Ravens released Bobby Rainey. So it's coming. It would appear they are.

positioning. Yes. Now, the reports early when he first got this hamstring injury was, okay, it's two to four weeks. And then it quickly was like, no, no, this is six to eight weeks. And then he went on Iowa. And he's 33 years old. He's not going to recover quicker than the average NFL player at 33. And he's never been, you know, a quick healer. This issue, we don't know how severe the tear was. But if it was a grade three, that's usually like a,

three to six month timeline and we're only two months in. So follow the news. He is supposed to practice Tuesday. You just don't know if he's going to be. He's been practicing lightly. The question is whether or not he's good enough to come back and go full speed. So keep him on your radar. If he's dropped in an IR league, definitely pick him up. But in those situations, he's probably already stashed. So if you're looking for a week, you know, a signing for this week, it's Drake.

It's P. Ryan. And it's Jamal Williams. If you're sitting pretty, you've got a roster, you want to protect against some injuries down the line or whatever that case may be. Look at a guy like Daniel Woodhead. Maybe you look at a guy like Rex Burkhead to see if that sustained involvement. You know, you see it for multiple weeks. Another guy to just throw out there. I mean, if Elijah McGuire is going to get 58% of snaps and Matt Ford is going to miss a long time.

You could look at McGuire. I don't think you wait. He's not the long term. I think you wait another week to do that with the buy week. I will say this. Another guy that I'm looking to add in a couple of these leagues is Eddie Lacey. I don't know that he'll be back this week. But if you're talking about the Danny Woodheads, the guys where it's like, I'm not sure. I don't need the spot start right now. But Eddie Lacey actually looked good when, you know, he was finally given the role before he got injured with his, my groin.

Um, that was great. Somebody, I saw I read it. Um, on Reddit like every, I don't know, seems like every week there's a threat about what's your favorite fantasy football podcast. Because nobody can like find the one that was just posted. And, uh, somebody replied and said, uh, fantasy footballers, it's a great show. Really enjoy it. And the first reply was, ac my groin. Fantastic. Hey, clan assemble. So we've associated ourselves with, uh, with a.

McGreling. And I'm going to throw out, you want to talk about grimacing when you put in a waiver claim. Latavius Murray is still available. I wouldn't grimace at all. I would. But I grimace when I throw him into the starting line. Yeah, but he's getting opportunity. Yeah, you're just playing roulette with the goal line carry opportunity. He's really only come through with two good games for fantasy purposes. But over the past three weeks, he's averaging 18 carries. Yeah, that's fantastic. You've got to pick him up. He can't be on waivers.

I'd rather have, I think I'd rather put Latavius Murray in there than play with that offense and how it's playing than play like the Jamal Williams game on that offense. Okay, let me ask you, can you Drake or Latavius Murray? I take Drake for the big play. I know he's involved and he's going to catch passes and he can actually break a long one, whereas I'm not waiting for Murray to get his turn around the goal line. You know, looking at Latavis Murray's carries since the injury,

12, 15, 18, 19, 17. That is a guy heavily involved in a pretty good offense. Maybe we're missing, bearing the lead here with the sneakiness of Latavius Murray. I think you also look at matchup opportunities for them. Like, I love Latavius Murray as a start against Green Bay in week 16 and week 17 against Chicago. Whereas, you know, a team like the Rams this week, I think it favors McKinnon.

Because I think the Rams are going to score points. And I think this game is going to be higher scoring. Detroit, Atlanta, the next couple weeks might favor McKinnon a little bit, but the carry counts. I mean, you can't argue with it. A couple touchdowns over the last three weeks. Let's move on to some tight end options. Greg Olson's in the camp of Danny Woodhead. Greg Olson's practicing. He is on his biweek, but he's 59% owned. And this is the time you can snag him a week ahead of people that become aware next week when he's activated and he's in the headlines.

Jermaine Gresham scored a couple consecutive weeks. He's a streaming option, but my favorites, they're probably owned, but Vernon Davis right now, still the guy to go get. Jared Cook, super heavily involved and had the week 10 by, so maybe he snuck out there. Maybe he was to drop it like it's hot. Somebody dropped him, and you could snag him. The Vernon Davis is so ridiculous. In my Money League, Sunday morning.

The news comes out. Okay, Jordan Reed is actually not going to play. And I had Safarian Jenkins, and I just took a little look at the Wavewire. There's Vernon Davis. Just sitting there. Being disrespected. Just a delightful early Christmas present. Picked him up, played him. How do you do? He outscored ASJ slightly. Both of them had pretty good games. But it's just the fact that Vernon Davis, he is, he's playing so well.

He's playing so well that his ownership at 64% is ludicrous to me. It's still tough to argue that there's a tight end out there that can make a harder cut than Vernon Davis does in the open field. When he gets the ball, he still does it. And he's the player who twice in his career, 13 touchdowns had, you know, pushed 1,000 yards multiple times. I know he's not that guy anymore. But he sure seems like he's close to it. And if he was the full-time tight end in Washington for the entire year.

What are we talking? 808? You're talking to top five tight end. Probably. Especially with the way that Kirk Cousins uses tight ends. You can look for Martella's Bennett. So just to play the game with Vernon Davis, since week three, because they didn't use them, weeks one and two. You know, you're talking one target those two games. But since week three, his pace is 66 receptions over 1,000 yards. There you go. He's been.

A monster. Well, he's a downfield threat, a threat in the seam. Yeah, he's a yak master. He is. Open the open field? He's incredible. Yeah. All right. How about this name if you need tight ends? Just real quick. You mentioned Martellus Bennett's people might see the three for 38. Everything you need to know about Martellus Bennett's free agency situation, or your waiver situation, I mean, Dwayne-Alan caught a touchdown in a game where Grankowski had a nice game, and Martellus Bennett had three catches. Like, please know.

That was exploiting the Denver defense against the tight-end position. Yeah, I was going to bring up. Charles Clay. That's who I was going to bring up. If you look at his schedule moving forward, the Los Angeles Chargers are usually an okay team to play the tight-end position, then the Jets, New Orleans. I'm sorry, the Chargers, the Chiefs, New England, Indianapolis.

Miami. I mean, you've got a stretch where every single week you're going to be playing him. And this was a very disappointing week when he came back. Disappointing for the Buffalo Bills. Yeah. If you had picked him up and played him, you were really disappointed this last week. But it was his first week back.
