Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 7 Waivers & QB Streamers, Jason's Troubles

Because of the bi-week, nobody's, you know. Maybe. If people aren't aware of the Golden Tate situation. Manuel Sanders, sprained ankle will miss at least week seven. That's probably good news. I mean, a sprained ankle is better than what it looked like. Robert Turbin left with the left elbow injury. We're thinking maybe Robert Turbin's arm is in bad shape. It was just kind of, you know, nasty looking. It's certainly dislocated. We've seen players be able to come back after like a week off.

But it really depends. We're going to find out more information this week as to the severity. I expect him to miss a couple weeks. To the end, you know, we're talking about Marvin Jones. Kenny Dealladay is still not practicing, just for those of you tracking that situation, wondering if he might capitalize on that. We'll have to follow up. Ezekiel Elliott, what do we give? What kind of advice can you give right now with this situation? I mean, it is a legal conundrum. Exactly. You have to at this point.

If they aren't already rostered, which they probably are, but Darren McFad and Alfred Morris are both worth picking up. I still rank them Darren McFad and Alfred Morris. The NFL PA is pushing for a decision quickly, which allegedly is later on today. So you may know this before you have to, before the waivers process. And the reason they're doing that is because technically like the rosters freeze, so to speak.

for NFL teams. So they need to know if Elliott is going to be on their roster or not this week. We will tweet out any information in news about Ezekieliot. Obviously after this show goes up at the FF Ballers on Twitter. We'll keep you posted. It's a fluid situation. It's just gut call at this point. But what does your gut say? Is the suspension hold or is he back? My gut says he plays this week. Yeah, I think he plays this week and then we'll be suspended after this week. Hmm.

What's your gut, Mike? My gut is that his suspension will stick this time. Okay. Well, we're going to move right into the waivers. A lot of names to talk about. Let's do it right now. Put me in, coach. Love, love, love the first name on our wide receiver waiver board here. He might be owned. He's probably owned, but if he's not, must pick up. Sterling, Shepherd. 52% own is the number that I have. Is that Yahoo? Is that Yahoo?

Yes, that's Yahoo. Now, he was out, obviously, with the ankle in week six, and they have Seattle this week. Say he's got Seattle and a buy. He really is a must pick up for you. He's an absolute must pick up for me because I think when he comes back, let's say you have to hold on to him for two weeks. And he doesn't play against Seattle. They want him to get the extra rest. He doesn't come back until after the buy. That's what I would expect. And I think that's pretty likely. I mean, if I was the Giants, that's what I would be doing to make sure you don't reagravate this ankle.

Once he comes back, I think you're looking at a guy that should be a wide receiver two week in, week out going forward. And, you know, a guy that's going to play every single week on your lineup rest of season. And when you get the rare opportunity to grab that off of waivers, I would do that. He was already 7-2-75. Those were his reception totals before the injury. He was a player that I think we had talked about being rosterable regardless. And now you're putting him in their role. No other.

wide receiver. Certainly. I'm just saying that you're likely not, he's just going to sit on your bench for two weeks. Absolutely. I mean, if you've got a position where you're, you know, two and four and you have to get wins now and you've got a short bench, then no, this wouldn't apply to you as an absolute must pickup because you absolutely must win this week and next week and, you know, just always be fighting. But in general, for most teams, I think he's going to be worth the hold. Yeah, I mean, that's fair.

John Brown, though. John Brown is one of the major waiver-wire pickups this week. Three-for-663 in a touchdown. The Cardinals' offense found something with Adrian Peterson this week, changes the whole run-pass equation, changes the fact that the defense cannot sit back and just wait for Chris Johnson to run it into a, you know, a three-man front. You have to pull your linebackers up. You have to make, you know, make the defense think. And now John Brown had another nice game.

has the Rams and then the buy and then San Francisco. Mike, would you be more likely to pick up John Brown than you would be Serling Shepherd? I would. Just because of the playability, I know I can use him this week, and then he's a great play against San Francisco. I think my favorite kind of cursory ad right now, if you're sitting, you know, four and two, you're sitting okay, you want to take a shot on somebody. I like picking up Josh Doxon. Josh Doxon, yes, he only had one more reception this week.

but Jay Gruden's come out and said they need to get them more involved, get them more snaps. And the fact is, the other wide receivers that are not succeeding to the degree that they need to be. Thorell Pryor, Jameson Crowder, you're not getting what you need for that offense to be prolific. You know, this is a second year guy, and I would take a cursory out on him, especially, you know.

in a league where I was hurting at wide receiver and wanted to be able to make a run at the end. Another guy very similar to that. If you're in that same position, I would say is Juju Smith-Schuster. He looks to be getting more and more involved, talented rookie for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's another guy that I would take a look at. Now, if you need to start now and you're needing to go deeper, one of the guys I like at wide receiver the most is actually Benny Fowler. Remember him in week one? Everyone's like, whoa, two touchdowns.

He's the most pickup right, and we're like, no, no, no, of course not. Because they throw the ball to two wide receivers. Well, Emmanuel Sanders is definitely missing this week, and I wouldn't be surprised if he missed multiple weeks. They're going, any foulers just by necessity going to need to be involved. So I think he is a flex-worthy start this week. My favorite this week's start is Marquis Lee. That's the name I was going to bring up. Against Indianapolis, 10 targets last week, 5 for 83, had a rushing attempt.

You know, Indianapolis, we're going to talk about them later at the stream of the week. They give it up to all fantasy players, pretty much. And so I think that game, Marquis Lee, I like the Benny Fowler talk. Juju is more of a, let's wait and see what happens. Can that offense get it together? Is Martavis Bryant going to be out? Is there any other names you want to bring up? Another probably may be owned is Nelson Aguilar. Do you believe in his predictability? No, but he.

He's continuing to get it done. Carson Wentz is continuing to get it done. So you know what? He's worth the pickup. I've been changing on Aguilar. I'm so down on him from how he looked rookie year and some of the problems he's had that I think it's been seeping into my analysis of him this year unfairly because he has looked pretty good this year and he's performed. And it appears he's.

you know, coming into the wide receiver two role. Like he is, I think he's established himself. It's not, okay, is Tori Smith going to be the wide receiver two this game? Right. I think Aguilar is the wide receiver two. Now, that still could be the third in targets because of Zach Ertz. But I believe Nelson Aguilar, if he's out there, he's worth picking up. And I think you got to start giving him the respect of possibly starting him in good matchups, which.

Right now, Carson Wins is saying every matchup is a good matchup. The last name, hold on Brooks. The last name I want to throw out is Taylor Gabriel. It didn't really work out last week, only four for 39, but he gets to take on the Patriots, and the Patriots bleed fantasy points to quarterbacks, to wide receivers. So with all those names. They hand them out when you go to that stadium with the program. You get like six fantasy points. So let's talk Fab real quick on these guys.

It's harder to talk about. You got a percentage base then. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. But these guys, no one, I think John Brown, and I would agree Sterling Shepard's worth the ad. It's just you have to be in the right situation to add Shepard. So those are the, those are the 10% higher price. Yeah. Over 10% of your budget on those. So you would go 10 plus on Shepard? On both of those. Okay. And on Brown? I would not on Brown. I.

Brown could just as easily next week. I mean, for all we know, this week, you could end up not practicing. He's just too much of a variable for me. I wouldn't go 10% on him. I'd spend a couple blocks. See, I'm with Jason. I would be more aggressive on Brown. These other guys that we're talking about, though, it's certainly nothing more than just a couple dollars. There's no real electric standouts.

Everybody that we named, everybody that we named, there were other guys that are in basically the same tier. So it's like, just order that. You need that article to come out. Electric standouts. Yeah, order them, you know, in your waiver pickups, the order that you like them, but don't, don't overspend. Brooks, you were going to speak. Yeah, half PPR, take a guess what wide receiver Nelson Aguilar is so far this year. Oh, and a half point? Just got top stones, a big place. Top 18? 24.

15. Okay. There you go. That's what I'm saying. Six weeks. Yeah. Well, I mean, he's scoring. That helps. If Carson Palmer. If Carson wins has truly turned the corner and he's, you know, a 35 touchdown type of, you know, yearly quarterback, then Nelson Aguilar will absolutely be.

a valuable wide receiver. So it really comes down to what do you believe in Carson Wins? Because you can't really talk up Carson Wins and talk down Nelson Aguilar at the same time. Those two things just would have a really hard time mashing. Also, like monsters. Right, the monster match. It's October.

It's easy. Simple. Let's talk about some running backs. Not as easy. Not as simple. No. So the wide variation between which of these guys will be owned and not owned in every league. This is your weekly reminder. Check for Alfred Morris, Darren McFadden. If they're out there, pick them up for the, you know, lottery ticket. Yeah, because six games. I mean, that's not a, it's not a teeny suspension. Yeah, I mean, I think.

Darren McFadden, when he was running behind that line a couple years ago. It was a thousand-yard rusher. Yeah, he was great. Let me ask you a question. And we don't know what the results of all this legal stuff is going to be. But my argument in the beginning of this season was that Zeke should just get it out of the way because you don't risk the end of the season. Do you think that the Cowboys record is any different if Zeke had taken off this first set of games? They lost to the Packers?

They beat the Cardinals. They lost bad to the Broncos. They lost to the Rams. It's a good question. Yeah, it certainly is a good question. I just wonder when I look at what has taken place. Yeah, I don't think that's the. They beat the Giants. But that's not the thing for Zeke. No, I understand. He's got a point to prove for him his personal life. Yeah, and obviously, if he, you know, whatever the case may be, you're going to fight it if you believe you're innocent. It's just, it's going to hurt them a lot more now.
