Week 9 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, The Inconvenient Time Traveler

I still think the predictability of those targets is going to go down. He'll be touchdown dependent. Yeah, I mean, with other good options like Herndon and Jono Smith out there, I don't think you need to play the Goddard role. But Goddard is a valuable pickup for the same reasons we've been saying correctly the last few weeks, which is he can be a standalone, a standalone guy. He can get in the end zone. He's been doing it on the reg. And if something happened to Zach Gertz, he immediately becomes.

a very important tight-in in landscape. And keep in mind this last week, he ran 55 rounds. Well, that's the real key to success. Thank you. Any just passive interest in Noah Fant or? No. Next year. Yep. Full stream ahead. All right. Quarterback streaming time, guys. There's some very interesting fellas this week.

Yeah, this week has a nice slate for streaming options off of the wire at both quarterback and defense. I'll kick us off here. I'm terrified of yours. You're terrified of mine. I am. All right. Well, let me explain it to you. Mine is Sam Darnold, the Lev Bell list and Robbie Anderson list. Sam Darnold, he's playing in Miami. And Sam Darnold is infinity better. He's still a young.

scarable, obviously, quarterback that can bomb. But he is infinitely better than Mason Rudolph. And Mason Rudolph, who just really struggled for a while, still ended up with 250 and 2 against the dolphins because of absolutely wacky broken coverage. There has not been a quarterback this year who has not thrown for multiple touchdowns.

against the Dolphins. It's an 18 to 2 touchdown to interception ratio. They've given up the fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks. This is a beautiful get right game for Sam Donald. I believe every one of your stats. They are factual. I believe all the facts. I don't like the feel with the Jets right now. And if they do lose Lev or Robbie, it will not help Sam Donald. So I have...

My concerns about where this team is trending. I understand all of the logic behind that pick. I just consider me scared of what's happening in New York. That's all. Not that I'm not scared for my stream. I like your stream. Yeah, I do too. Derek Carr is taking on Detroit. The last three games, by the way. Send in the car. Yes. Send in the car. Yes. You can send in the car this week. The last three games, quarterbacks against Detroit.

This was Green Bay, Minnesota, and the Giants, Daniel Jones. They've given up 10 touchdowns through the air, including four each of the last two weeks. Fantasy points to the quarterback position, 25, 40, 38 in our league's scoring format. But you're talking about big performances, huge yardage. Derek Carr has got his weapons back, Tyreau Williams, Darren Waller. He's Hunter Renfro breaking out last week. He has the capability. He's doing a little bit of the,

Stafford light of late. Being able to throw the ball down field. I don't, you know, Detroit's going to put up points against Oakland. This is a great opportunity for a shootout matchup between those two guys. The Raiders offense has been very underrated this year. They're actually, they're an above average offense this year, even with the lacking of weapons. Yeah, I like the call, and there's still the potential that Darius Slate is traded. There was a lot of.

whispers about the Detroit cornerback. So that would just improve things for Derek Carr. Did you hear what they were asking for? No. A Ramsey like package. They wanted a Ramsey like package. So, oh, I'm back from the future. He didn't get treated. All right. Your time machine, by the way, takes a very small amount of power. I mean, just a few beep boops. That's it. That's impressive. Well, that's just what you hear on this side.

You should see the equipment over there. Okay. Very impressive. Mike, I like yours. I'm going with Gardner Minshu. He's taking on the Houston Texans. Gardner, if you've not been paying attention, is the quarterback 11 on the season.

He has the fifth most quarterback rushing yards. He's averaging about 25 rushing yards per game. That's an excellent baseline to have. And the Texans have given up the fifth most passing yards and the fifth most fantasy points to the quarterback position. They are beatable. They are now down one of the best defensive players in football. I like Gardner to keep it rolling this week against the Texans. Defense versus offense. Presented by Head and Shoulders and Walmart.

All right, if you need a big defensive start for your fantasy lineup, we've got streamers for you. I'm going to go Cleveland. The Cleveland defense against Denver, Brandon Allen, sixth round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2016 draft. We'll be making his start. Was Gardner a six-room pick? I don't know. Yes, he was. Brandon Allen never played an NFL down.

He will be the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos. I think this is a beautiful opportunity for mistakes, fumbles, sacks, interceptions, all the things that come with being a rookie quarterback in their first start. All of the big eyes that we've seen from rookies this year, there's been a lot of injuries at the quarterback position. It's nuts. I mean, my best ball leagues, I, you know, I almost always go to quarterbacks. And this year has been really hurt by,

Losing Cam, losing Andrew Luck, you know. Mahomes went out. Drew Brees. Matt Ryan. It's unbelievable. They're protecting quarterbacks so much now that they're like made of glass. Now if you touch them, they crumble. Yeah, it's been bad. I'll jump in. I'm taking the Colts against Pittsburgh. We saw what happened to Mason Rudolph by a terrible defense in the Miami Dolphins.

I and the Colts are actually a solid defense. So I like them, even though they're on the road, but Mason Rudolph is going to turn the ball over at least a couple times. Yeah, for me, my streaming defense is the Dallas Cowboys who are coming off of a by week, which is always nice for a defense. And they're playing against the New York Giants in a divisional matchup, which a lot of times those games can, you know, be a lower scoring affair where it's just a real gritty, hard-nosed,

Back and forth battle. And, you know, if you look at what the New York Giants have done over the last month as far as what they've given up to opposing defenses, they've given up the sixth most, the first, the eighth, and the seventh. That's four top ten defensive fantasy points given up in a row. Now they play Dallas coming off a buy. I like them a lot. And I also want to throw out the Jets. I know the vibes are really, really bad.

But I feel Pock committed because I had picked up the jet and they lose C.J. Mosley. You're not pot committed at all. I'm doing the Mitchell-Tropisky thing, aren't I? Yeah. I'm doing the thing where they drafted them too high. And so now it's like I'm bought in. You're not talking about it. This is an elite defense that you feel pot committed to. But you're talking about the Jets. That being said, you can still. About the Jets, man. You can still play them against Miami. Yes. Let me ask you this. How many times has Miami? Can you play Miami against the Jets? Yes. How many times?

Has Miami given up not a top 12 fantasy defensive performance? Well, I'm guessing the answer is zero. That is correct. They have not yet done it. So you can play the Jets as well. You can play the Jets. And I think they're a good option. You don't have to love them forever. I would play Dallas over the Jets, but I would play anyone against the Dolphins. Okay. There are a number of interesting options out there. I think Indianapolis this week against Pittsburgh.

That's why it was my pick. Is a great pick, Mike. And you also had Denver in there earlier against Cleveland, the inverse of mine. Yeah, which, and it's still interesting because Cleveland has been, Baker's turning the ball over. He's getting sacked a whole bunch. It was just the, the fact that they have Brandon Allen that could screw things up for them. That's why I pivoted away. Short fields, thanks to Brandon Allen. Philly. Philly's a good defense at Chicago, because they can stop the run.

And then the bears can stop the pass. The bears have every care of it stops the pass. All right. Head and shoulders, offense for great hair, defense against flakes. Check it out at walmart.com or at your local Walmart store. That was defense versus offense. I want to thank today's studio sponsor, everyday studio sponsor.
