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

hoop in his big boy pants. You don't want to be in that situation. You know what? Bringing the fire. We should talk quarterbacks. All right. Full stream ahead. Remember Mark Dupor from the Miami Dolphins? You don't remember him? He was one of Dan Marino's biggest targets. He really belongs on the show. Full stream ahead. We're looking for streaming quarterback options in week number seven.

And we've got them. We've got options. Who do you got, Mike? The options, this is not the best week for streaming quarterbacks. I believe Jason is not. Jason has the best one who, but luckily he is widely available. So I like Jason's pick here. But I'm going to, I'm going with Jared Goff against the Arizona Cardinals. The Rams have been putting up numbers and the Arizona past defense is not what it was in.

Past years. Patrick Peterson has a groin injury. He's supposed to play, but that's still a quad. Quad injury, sorry. Supposed to play. This game's in London, by the way. So both teams have traveled over there, but he's a little bit hampered. You saw him come off the field and Mike Evans get a deep ball. The Cardinals are thinking about a switch at cornerback on the other side now. Finching Justin Bethel. Yes. For Tramon Williams. So interesting play. It'd be tough for me.

to start golf. It's a week. It's a tough week. It's a week. It's a week that is tough to stream. So Mike mentioned Jason's guy. I love Jason's guy. He was the guy that stood out to me. Go for it, Jay. Yeah. Speaking of Nick O'Leary, Nick O'Leary will be catching the passes from Tyrod Taylor, who plays much better at home because of his rushing value and the stupidity of quarterbacks getting so much more points for rushing yards than they do for passing yards. I will never.

get off of that. But here's the thing, Jason, if they rush for 10 yards, then they've gained 10 years of offense. Right. But if they pass for 10 yards. Yeah, but then if they pass for 25, that's the same thing. Yeah. Anyways, the point is. Digress. Back to Tyrod Taylor. He's home against Tampa. His floor is very high because of his rushing, especially when he is at home. He's at home against Tampa Bay.

It's been a great matchup. He's always been one of those guys at home where his floor is high and his ceiling is, you know, a top five quarterback. He can rush touchdowns in. His upcoming schedule as well is so great where he is the type of streamer where you're going to pick him up to play him this week. And you can leave him. He'll be on the list next week more than likely. You're going to leave him on your roster and you'll play the matchups from your roster with another quarterback. He's got Tampa Bay and Oakland.

at home in back-to-back weeks. Then the New York Jets, New Orleans at home, two more games against New England this year, which apparently is a great matchup, and the Colts. That's all coming up. The Colts at home, Miami at home. I mean, Tyrod Taylor really like picking him up right now. I know he doesn't have the greatest options, but he's going to be safe.

and a high upside. You can get them off waivers. For all you that lost Aaron Rogers, he's an option. He's an option. No doubt about it. Blake Bortles is my streamer of the week. I hate saying all those words in that order. Blake Bortles takes on Indianapolis. Look, we don't know whether Fournette's going to be limited in any way, shape, or form. I'm not even banking on that for this stream. The reality is the Colts, they haven't given up less than 20 fantasy points to a quarterback the entirety of the year.

And so Blake Bortles, it's just, it's out there. This is an opportunity, I think, for him to just, maybe he finds Marquis Lee, maybe it's somebody else. But I think a touchdown or two is in his future this week. So I think you could do worse. And like Mike said, I mean, the options, they're not great this week. You've got Andy Dalton out there. He's playing Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's been shutting people down. You got Trevor Simeon out there, but he's missing some weapons. You've got Jacoby Brissette. He's got Jacksonville. I mean, it's the newbies.

And then Brent Hunley, I don't want to take, I don't want to, I want to play the New Orleans D this week. I was going to say, we need to talk. Defensively, but the newbie quarterbacks, Brett Hunley, although the Saints have looked far more devastating on the defense in recent weeks, and then Beatherd against the Dallas Cowboys. That's a plus maximum. I wouldn't play either in any way, shape, or form. You wouldn't play the New Orleans? I'd play the New Orleans D. Yeah, that's what I'm sorry. We're back on. Yeah, I was just finishing the quarterbacks, and now we will talk.

defense. Gotcha. Okay. I would play defenses against the young quarterback. That's what I was, that's what I thought you were talking about. Sorry. Sorry. I would play New Orleans. I would play Dallas. And despite my horrific devastating loss last night on the back of the Tennessee Titans, I would also pick up and stream the Titans defense once again. I believe they take on the Cleveland Browns. Yes, they do. The bills.

We talked about Tyrod gets to play the Buccaneers. That means the Bill's defense gets to play the Buccaneers. So I like that. I like that matchup a lot. Chargers versus Denver, maybe. Maybe. I like the Saints against the Packers. Yeah. I like the Panthers this week. I don't see them on this list.

Because they're probably very old. They're 50% own. Really? Yeah, they have not been a good defense this year. Interesting. They absolutely have not been a great fantasy defense. They just got torched by Carson Wentz in a game that we all expected them to do better. To be fair, they were short-fielded multiple times. Still, if you look at them as a fantasy defense, they play Chicago, though, this week. I really like that match up. Seattle, if they were dropped, because of the buy week, they're going to be on your waiver wire. There's a 90% chance they're on the waiver wire.

So I would be looking at Seattle. That's a very good chance. There's a higher. There's a 60% chance. I'm pretty sure we know the percentage. Well, it's not in here. But, yeah. Just so I'm just, look. On the buy. No, there's a lot of people. They were on the buy. This week, I believe they have the Giants in New York. The Giants have no players. There's a ceiling for that Giants offense. And while they won last week, that was, you know, whether they have a defensive touchdown. And then they had.

you know, one other passing touchdown. And that was it. So just another team to keep in mind. So, yeah. Seattle, just looking at Yahoo, Seattle is owned in 93%. So there's a 90% chance they are owned. They still have it. You had the number right. Do you believe in them as an elite fantasy defense? Seattle? I mean, they traveled to Tennessee, got shellacked. They've kind of underwhelmed in a couple other matchups. Yeah, I'm still loving Seattle.

I think they've got the personnel and they've shown me enough. That one game, you know, every team has bad games. I still believe in the Seattle defense. You don't think the Giants take them out at home this one? No, I don't. We thought the Broncos would manhandle the Giants. Darkwood duck. Maybe he gets it done. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. All right.

There was so much pain and agony for Jason in the opening segment. I forgot to pour it on. To just put the cherry on top. And cherries Jason will not be eating. No. Because he lost the lunch bets. And we went.
