Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 9 Waivers, Streams of the Week, MNF Madness

He's back to another game of 10 targets, 7 for 79. He is involved in the offense. If he's going to play, you can count on him for some decent yardage. He's not one of these tight ends like Julius Thomas, right? It's getting two or three receptions a game. You hope that he scores. Well, with Ebron, of course, you hope he scores, but you know that if he doesn't, he won't just put up an absolute crap fest.

for fantasy scoring. So he's my number one guy. CJ Fedorowitz, Fedora Hat guy. He's on, he's on buy, but he's jumping up here into a startable tight-in-old. Yeah, but you're not going to grab Fedorowitz going into a buy, are you? No, you're not. No, unlikely just, but you need to remember him. The guy that I would grab would be Cameron Brate. Cameron Brate has been a disappointment to me. Fool me once.

Yeah. Fool me twice. He's been a disappointment. He hasn't. He hasn't been as involved as he was those first few weeks. He did get a touchdown last week, still only caught three balls. But I think the combination of the fact that he's had a handful of quality fantasy producing games, a handful, matched with, he's got just a delightful matchup this week against Atlanta, who is terrible against tight end. I would, you know, if you've got to start one, I would throw him out there in the same game.

I'll say Brayt versus Hooper. Oh, I was going to say the same game. I like Austin Hooper quite a lot, and he's available in 100%. I've got a pretty big name that I want your opinion on. All right. This player had no limitations on his return to practice on Tuesday, and his name's Ladarius Green. I thought that's where you were going. Ladarius Green off the buy, no limitations. That's a danger, man. It is dangerous, but. That's a high reward. But would you play Hooper?

Or green. I would play Hooper. Over Green? Yeah, I would. Because Jacob Tammy's going to be out, so Hooper is a streaming start. Hooper showed me some flashes where he's been really a quality tight in. Obviously, he was drafted to be that. He was that way in college. And while I don't usually like rookie tight ends, he, because Tammy is out, he's thrust into a role in a good matchup where I guess I just trusted a little bit more than.

All the weirdness that's gone on with green over the off season. Is it an ankle? Is it ahead? And now he's back. And if he comes out and drops two touchdowns, I won't be surprised. If he comes out and blocks for five plays and just gets kind of his feet wet, I wouldn't be surprised. I'll say green is by far the better long-term pickup. Hooper, this is a spot start. Jacob Tammy is going to be back. And Hooper will be.

back on the bench. The nice thing about green as a flyer is the bouncing around of secondary targets behind Antonio Brown is... Jesse James has been solid for fantasy. I know, but it's just been... I'm just saying even Wheaton, Hayward Bay, and the depth chart changes and Coats injuries, and I just think that there are opportunities there for that offense. Let's talk about some defensive streaming stars before we get into our streaming quarterback options and WaverWire quarterback options. So who do you think you can throw out there this week as a defense and see production that will impact your fantasy team?

Cowboys. Look, I'm taking on Cleveland again. It didn't work out extremely well for the Jets, but the Cowboys as a unit are much better than the Jets as an entire defense. So I'm going with them against Cody Kessler. I think that they're a great stream. And in Yahoo leagues, they're available in about 85%. I mean, they're widely available. What about that Falcons defense against the sometimes mistake prone James Winston?

Or do you stay away from this game because you worry about... I think it's going to be a high-scoring game personally, so I would be a little bit worried about it. Buying to the Panthers rejuvenation on the defensive side of the ball? Yeah, they're not widely available, but I like them. I threw them on just in case they were. I picked them up, and I stashed them over the Cardinals week, and they're going to take on the Rams, which could be taking on Jared Goff in his first start. You think that's going to happen? It's a possibility. Yeah. You know what defense I might...

I might throw out there if you're just really going low. Yeah, I aim for low. The 20th ranked defense this year, fantasy-wise. The Miami Dolphins are at home against the Jets. I wanted to stream Ryan Fitzpatrick this week again, but I just can't do it because he has looked so bad. And he didn't throw an interception last week, but I think part of that, part of the reason he didn't throw an interception last week was because he was throwing the ball.

Too poor. If he had thrown just a normal bad ball, the defenders had a chance to intercept it. But there was just no defenders around, no offensive guys around. So we had talked about, or I brought up streaming against Minnesota, are we willing to stream the Detroit Lions? No. I am not. Divisional game? Yeah. Where's that game at? Minnesota? Then no. Okay. No, I don't think so. Full stream ahead.

I'll just throw out one more, the Chargers. Since they've had Joey Bosa, they've looked really good. Tennessee Titans are a decent match. Yeah, I agree with you. So let's give our quarterback streams of the week. Look, when we give you these names, it's a thin week, but we're looking for that 202 level production. Somebody that you can put it in there and get a baseline of production with Upside.

so that your team is not destroyed by a bi-week or destroyed by a bad matchup. So if you are on your lunch break, put it down. Yeah, you might not want to eat. Do not be chewing. If you have a hazmat suit or an apron of just something that can protect your clothing, put it on. It's basically like the swimming rule. If you've eaten within 30 minutes, just pause it.

Okay, pause it right here and then come back. And listen, we don't want you to. If you've had diarrhea in last month, then just skip this section altogether. Now, before we get to those, we kind of, we've been talking waiver wires. Now, we're talking about people when we stream that are available in most leagues. Guys that are available in a lot of leagues that don't qualify that would be just great waiver pickups. Look, if James Winston is out there, you need to pick him up. James Winston should be owned in 100% of.

smart leagues because James Winston's schedule is great. He has been performing. This week is at Atlanta. So pick him up. He's still available in like 30% of leagues. Also, Dak Prescott plays the Browns. That's great. He's another guy would pick up, but they don't qualify for how low we have to go here. You want to know what's amazing about Winston is I don't know if there's a quarterback in the league more dependent on their top tier wide receiver for their value. Like if Mike Evans was out,

I don't think that I wouldn't touch James Winston with a 10-foot pole. Well, Mike Evans. He produced without Mike Evans last week was in the poopy pants. What do you mean without Mike Evans? Evans had a very poor game. Yeah, but Evans changes everything on the defense. I mean, if he's on the field, they're doubling Mike Evans. So it's not his production. I'm saying if you take away that top-tier guy and all of a sudden you're throwing to Humphreys and Shepard.

And Brate. I'm bailing out. I'm bailing out big time. So here's our streams of the week. I don't know if we've had a group of three names more terrifying than the group this week. But let's put it at, look, these have been working out this year. We're trying to give you that top 10, top 12 production. I'm just going to get mine out of the way, guys. Yeah. It's Colin Kaepernick. I'm throwing Colin Kaepernick in his 8%.

Ownership out there. He faces the Norland Saints at home coming off the buy. Remember Brady, Palmer Cousins, Dalton, you're in tough straits. All right. Dyer Straits. He could surprise you in this game. He's had 23 and 17 fantasy points in his two games. He moves the ball with his legs. He's running. Yeah. And so I think you could do worse to Collar Kaepernick this week. The New Orleans Saints, their defense is far from flawless. You put them in San Francisco.

I think there are opportunities here. I'm just going to throw that out there. Colin Kaepernick, my stream of the week. All right. I guess I will go, I'll go next. This one will sound worse than I think it is. Like that there was no comments whatsoever on Colin Kaepernick. That's just great. The power of the Afro hopefully comes through. All right. Mine, I think, is going to seem worse than it actually is because we are fresh off of last night's debacle. And that is Sammy Biscuits.

Sam Bradford is my guy. The last two weeks have left a very poor taste in your mouth because he's really... Some dry old biscuits. The biscuits are done, man. Yes. Got him. You got me there. You got me there. It's like, I love this. The last two weeks have been really bad, but the thing is about the last two weeks, even though we don't...

respect Chicago the way that we should. Their defense has been pretty good. He played at Philadelphia, who's great. I respect them, by the way. Well, sure. I'm saying the universal week. And at Chicago, those are two tough matchups on the road where he hasn't performed that great. But the previous few games, when he was at home against the Giants, a home against Houston, he put up good fantasy games. This week, he's at home against Detroit. So to me, I think you could start seeing Detroit. Detroit only plays eight on D.

Is that correct? That's their secret. That's their secret songs. Okay. So Sammy Biscuits. Jason's pick of the week here. Sam Bradford. Mike. All right. I'm streaming Ryan Tanahill. Oh, goodness. At home against the New York Jets. Their secondary is very suspect. The Cleveland Browns and Josh McCowan took care of them.

Look, the Jets are allowing, the lowest yardage, I should say, that they have allowed was 225 passing yards against Arizona in a game where Arizona didn't even need Carson Palmer. So there's four multi-touchdown games allowed by the Jets, similar to Colin Kaepernick. Ryan Tannahill at home coming off of the buy week. Here's a waiver pickup for you. Kenny Stills. Kenny Stills. I agree. This is a perfect Kenny Stills game. If you need a spot start and you want that glory play where it's like.

Dude, I played Kenny Stills against you. He could go off for 15 years. That's exactly what Adam Gaye says. When he comes to the center field and talks to the other coach, he goes, I just played Kenny Stills. I just played Kenny Stills against you. And I won. No, I agree. Look, something's wrong with Dorel Rivas. There's talk today about him being cut after the season to save the $2 million roster bonus, not even having him. You have to. Not even having him do the rotation to safety like they're planning.

He's getting torched down the field. I saw a stat today, too. Last week, Terrell Pryor, right? He had 13 targets and torched Revis in the first half. He was the leader in the league on missed opportunity yards. So more targets down the field, more opportunities for him to be deep. 186 yards left on the field against Revis. I think that's why Jason brought up Kenny Stills. That's why I agree with him because those speed threats are torching.

the Jets defense right now. So, yeah, Ryan Senehill, Sammy Biscuits and Collar Kaepernick, you can start eating again. We won't bring up those names again. And don't forget about Dak Prescott against the Browns because, you know, it's the Browns. So that does it for today's podcast. A reminder, check out jointhefoot.com.
