Week 7 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, MNF Recap

But he's Matt Lacoste. Ben Watson has been a successful fantasy option. So keep your eye on him, but I'm, you know, I think you have to wait for the breakout because he's probably not going to break out. So I don't want to clog a roster spot with him. News and notes is always brought to you by the Sleeper app. Get it. I mean, you don't want to miss any of the late breaking fantasy news right as it happens. So check out the Sleeper app.

Jason, let's get into the waiver wire. Put me in coach. Put me in, coach. Oh, I guess that's, there's redundance as I was put in this week. I was already, you know, I'm in the game. I'm catching balls. You are. You're on the waiver wire today. Am I really? Fantastic. I will say this. And I'm just letting everybody in the world know. There is not a Dynasty League I am in where I don't, where I don't have a waiver wire claim on Jason Moore.

Oh, 100%. I'm a little disappointed you didn't already have yourself. That shows little faith. I will tell you, I was super disappointed when I realized I didn't have myself. Like, I should have already, as soon as that player was in the system, I'm in a dynasty league. Like, this is 30 people benches. I could drop like four guys at any time because they're never going to, you know, I don't know who I've, I think I've got like injured old running backs in my IR spot. Like I'm picking up Jason Moore. You know, I used to do this with like,

You know, I'd throw Tim Tebow, even when he was not playing. Getting the Tebow bump. Exactly. You get that like morale boost. Pick me up. Grit is what you get. All right. Let's talk about real waiver wire ads for your leagues that are going to help you win. It's not a great waiver wire week once again. Yeah, it's more of a stash type of week. But remember, returning from the buy, you have the Bears, which. Congratulations. Yeah, we're glad to have them back.

The bills, when they are in for it, as the kids will say, they are due. And we will be highlighting some of their players. The Colts and the Raiders are also back on by this week. Be prepared. The Browns, the Bucks, Panthers, and the Steelers. You will be without them, and that is a lot of fantasy players. At the wide receiver position, let's start with the guys who are probably owned, but you should at least check to see if they're available.

Welcome back to fantasy relevance. Mr. Anderson, Pfeiffer 125 and the score. The schedule is not conducive to fantasy performance for the next couple of weeks, but then it opens up. Very, very wide open for the Jets, as we highlighted yesterday. So check for Robbie. John Brown, he was on a by week. He is...

Not widely available, but because of the biweek, he could be available in your league. And if you can get Jay Brown for free right now, Miami, Philadelphia, Washington, it is oh, so delightful. And Mosanoo. Jason, are you picking up Mosanoo? Yeah, I mean, Mosanoo should be owned. He's, you know, the Falcons have to throw the ball nonstop. They can't run. And because their offensive line is porous, and they can't run, it's not as easy to go.

to the deep options. You know, I think we're a little bit disappointed with where Julio's at right now. Sure. Got off to a hot start. Definitely disappointed with Calvin Ridley after that week one. And some of that is because Hooper and Mosanoo, these guys that are in the middle of the field quicker, easier throws, they're getting more targets than we like. So yeah, I mean, he's probably owned, but definitely worth rostering. The main waiver wire pickups, I would say my number one pickup who is available in more than 50% of leagues is.

Jameson Crowder, he has been an absolute target machine that hasn't led to a ton of fantasy goodness, but Spleen Donald has been out for some time. Jameson Crowder this past week, nine weeks, six for 98, the same thing with Robbie Anderson where it could be tough sledding, but at least in these matchups where I'm nervous to play Robbie, I would still play Jameson Crowder in a PPR situation. Games with spleen Donald.

Week 1, 17 targets. This past week, nine targets. Like, Darnold is going to him, and he's hit 99 yards and 98 yards in the two games where he's played with Sam Darnold. Yes. Is he your number one wide receiver pickup, or is there another one for you? If I'm in a full PPR, he's definitely my number one. If I'm standard, I don't think you're going to get much over the next two weeks. And half, I'm still into it. Yes, half.

Half I like him. The thing is, in addition to everything you said, Coletio Simile, their guard, starting guard, just went to IR. So even though they got a big win this last week, that's bad. I mean, I was just talking about, like Matt Ryan, when you don't have time to throw the ball deep to Robbie Anderson, because the guy's in your face, you're going to be getting the ball out of your hands quicker. That's going to be Jameson Crowder with a noon while out. Everything should go his way. And if Chris Herndon doesn't get back to the field,

You're good. I mean, I feel like I would water bet 10 targets. For Crowder? For Crowder? Now, New England, I mean, I guess we'll see how long they have the ball to throw those targets. But yeah, going forward, I really like James and Crowder. Here's another name I want to bring up. We've talked about him in the last three weeks running. I know where you're going and he's my number two wide receiver pickup. This is where I say if, you know, if it's a standard, he would be my number one. Audentate. Yeah.

Look, he's been great. I went back and watched. Have you watched all of them? I have. So the targets that went to Aud and Tate this last week, most of them were terrible. I mean, just no chance. There was a lot of them, though. Twelve targets for Aud and Tate. Yes, 12 targets for Audit and Tate. Most of them uncatchable. But when you're able to.

Catch the ball he did. And in spectacular fashion, you don't have AJ Green. I mean, there's rumors that maybe he's back this week, but I feel like we would know a little bit more. He'd be back at practice. He'd be doing things. They're talking about him being back this week? Like last week, I heard they're aiming for a week seven start. But that's what you say. Here's the thing. We're going to hear they're aiming for a week eight start really soon. So Aud and Tate, without John Ross, Tyler Boyd's been disappointing.

And he's been bawling out. He's also a mammoth of a man, 6-5-228. He's a big dude. You know, what else do you want? You've got a team that has to throw the ball. You've got a guy getting a ton of targets since he's been in the game. He's the 1A or 1B right now in that offense. He's a giant beast of a man. I mean, the only thing you want more is just a better quarterback throwing on the ball.

Yeah, he certainly checks the boxes, and this is the time of year where you, you just got to grit and bear it with these types of players. They're producing. He's getting targets. He now has two games of double-digit targets. Like you said, Jay, they're going to have to throw it a lot. Now, you're going to play this week. You've got to pick a guy up to play this week. You've got guys on by. Both of these players we've brought up, Auden Tate and James Cratter, they've got crappy matchups.

Right. Jacksonville and New England. But in a half or a full point PBRide still play him. So is there anyone if you needed a spot start? So like Kishon Johnson, five targets, but they're throwing a lot, a juicy matchup on the road against the New York Giants. Would you start him over either of those guys this week? I just, I want to because I buy into the matchup. Everyone that plays the Giants just produces fantasy gold. But Kishon Johnson, week one.

46 yards. Since then, he has, since week three, he has surpassed 20 yards one time. So the answer is no. Yeah, I just, I can't get behind it yet. But he's still a guy on the waiver wire list. Yes. He should be in your queue of wide receivers if you need someone because when you look at the snap percentages, the game script, he is a guy that is due even though he hasn't been, you know, putting up the numbers yet.

I'll tell you who I would pick up and play. We're talking, especially in a PPR. Can I guess that you've got a disease for him? Oh, you know it. Mm-hmm. You and you go down with the Beasles? Cole Beasley, wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. John Brown might not be on your waiver wire. If you aren't a PPR, though, I am 100% picking up Cole Beasley. Miami, Philadelphia, Washington. Cole Beasley is a, he's going to be a target machine.

And the matchups are definitely juicy for him. So if you need a spot start, Cole Beasley is interesting. McColl Hardman is still available. He's, you know, he did whatever. You could throw him in any single week and have him go off. But he has not done so in quite a while, only four for 45 this past week. Deonti Johnson is sort of interesting, but he is on by. How do you feel about any of the Miami wide receivers?

I guess the matchup against Buffalo shuts it down. Well, let's say it wasn't a matchup against Buffalo. Let's say it was a matchup against the Giants or the Cardinals. All right. I would say I feel bad. I feel bad. I don't want them. I don't want to start them. You can't make me do it. DeVonte Parker has scored in back-to-back weeks, Jason. Still can't make me do it. He had, I believe, 28 yards.

Dante Pettis, you could probably pick him up as well. He's an interesting stash at this point to see if things get better. And then... Oh! The Lazzard King. Alan Lazzard of the Green Bay Packers had the breakout last night. Here's the thing. The hit on Geronimo Allison was... It was a brutal hit.

where usually when those hits are that strong, you're going to miss a week before coming back in the concussion protocol. When you go out... And he was on Monday, so he has fewer time to recover. Yeah, so, you know, I expect he has gone from all the words coming out of Devante. Adam's mouth, I expect he's not there. So Alan Lazard is going to be on the field. And what we were alluding to earlier was Aaron Rogers loves Lazard. He says, this is the Lizard King.

His words. His words not mind where he was like, yeah. The Lazard King is here to rain upon us all. And, um, what does Lazard rain look like? Oh, it's, it's yellow. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Stop waiting. But, but my. That's not rain. Yeah. The, uh, the, the, the real stuff that Aaron Rogers was talking about was that. Rose.

that he was happy to get him on the field because he's been doing this nonstop and practice. I mean, you know, you want a guy that Aaron Rogers trusts. He threw a deep bomb touchdown attempt to him back to back. He failed on the first one, went right back to him. And like you said, he, you know, he didn't get in the game until late and he still ended up with a good line. He's 6'5-227, so he's a big target. If these guys, put it this way.

They don't have guys right now that are getting separation. So you throw to the big monsters. That's why Jimmy Graham and Mercedes. Mercedes-Louis was the number two, you know, in yards last night. He's throwing to the big guys that, okay, the separation is there, go up, just be bigger than the tiny cornerback. Oakland, Kansas City are the next two matchups for Green Bay. Perfect. We don't know if Lazard will be able to hold on to the throne.

for multiple weeks, but he is interesting. I mean, he might be like the Lazard Prince. Or like a Duke. Right. I like that. And in deeper leagues, I'm going to bring it up again. I talked about it yesterday, but Nikiel Harry, if you're in a deeper league, I think he is worth stashing for his inevitable return. He was a number one pick by the New England Patriots. He's a good wide receiver. And I think that it's...

It's possible that he can give you some second half fantasy gold before we move into the running backs. Actually, no. Jason, we, I forgot. I apologize. Jason M. Moore. Oh, thank you. For the Los Angeles Chargers, you should really pick him up. I mean, he would, he's the number one way. He's like, right? He's the Tim Tebow effect. If you want the Jason Moore bumped your fantasy roster. And you do. Yeah, I mean, look.

People are saying, well, what percentage of fab do I spend on all these wide receivers that you're talking about? I think if you want to go after James and Crowder, I would spend up a little bit more. I'd pay a decent amount for Crowder. To me, I'm usually like, for wide receivers, a lot is like 15%. I don't go crazy on the wide receivers. You know, on a tight-in breakout or a running back plug and play start from injury.

I'll pay 50, 60 if I have to. You'll pay a kiddle. But, you know, if I lose out on James and Crowder, you know, I would rather have, you know, a Lazard or an Audentate for, you know, a dollar or two than spend 15 on James Crowder anyways. But I would say 100% of your fab budget. Should go to Jason Moore. Of course. Now, before we get to the running backs, I want to thank today's sponsor, Manscaped support for the fantasy footballers.
