Week 9 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, On-Air Trade - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/3

I can't imagine a world just because Jonathan Taylor's banged up that he doesn't look terrible against the Baltimore Ravens in that unbelievable defensive line. So I am OUT on Jordan Williams. Is Heinz the running back that you'd want to start in that game? No. If I had to pick one, if I had to pick one, it would be Heinz because I think he's, it goes back to last week talking about the Baltimore Ravens when we picked.

J.K. Dobbins is the one because he's got the game breaking ability. And I think that if one of those two guys is going to break something, you know, a wheel route for a touchdown, we've seen it a couple times, I would take Heinz. But I would start nobody. Here's a depressing stat. Jordan Wilkins, who you said has looked atrocious, has avoided 16 tackles on 49 rushing attempts. Jonathan Taylor Thomas has avoided seven tackles on 100 attempts. And your rebuttal.

My rebuttal is that it's an indictment on Jonathan Taylor, not an endorsement for Jordan Wilkins. All right. It's a significant. Jonathan Taylor might not be what we thought he was. Because he hasn't been what we thought he was. Yeah. It's getting a lot of Trent Richardson comps. Oh, don't do that. Yeah. Don't throw that name out there. Trent Richardson was, what, the number three pick in the draft? Yeah. Look, there's a clip going around on Twitter.

of him running into the back of his lineman. It reminded me of Trent Richardson. Yeah. With a hole, a gaping hole on the side. You talked about the defense opening up holes for Jordan Wilkins. I believe that is the exact same defense that Jonathan Taylor was playing in that game. 11 for 22. Okay, so it sounds like we're not very interested in the Colts running backs. What is going on with your interest in Seattle? They get to play the Buffalo Bills who you can run on the Buffalo Bills.

We don't know what it is. DJ Dallas came through with a big fantasy week. Pretty inefficient, but he was the guy who got everything. Are you going to do any potential stashes of DJ Dallas or Carlos Hyde? Carlos Hyde had the hamstring. He was ruled out pretty quickly. But if Carson misses and Hyde is in, I mean, you got a lot of algebra you got to do here to figure out who the start has. Zero dollar bid. Okay, but you would still put the zero in?

Yeah. Are you talking for DJ Dallas? For DJ Dallas. Yeah. That's what I did last week. Ended up with him. Didn't start him. Tevin Coleman. But it was a, it's too hard of a situation. I expect one of these guys to play. Homer, Hyde, or Carson. Homer played, but they said we would prefer DJ Dallas over Travis. Well, he was banged up, though. So I'm just saying, like, one of these guys is going to be ready, right? And Carson might.

Carson was so close to playing this last week and it has been playing through injuries. I expect Carson back. That's why I agree with Andy. A $0 bid because if Carson was out, I think DJ Dallas is going to be a fine play. But I don't expect Carson to be out. So I'm not prioritizing DJ Dallas here. Cam Acres? Potentially. We need to talk about him. Yeah. Let's talk about Cam Acres. The injury to the thigh of Darrell Henderson. The ramps of the thighs on the buy.

Oh, it's on a buy this week? I'm not, no, I'm not going in on Camacres then. Because that gives time for Daryl Henderson to recoup, recoverate, and Daryl Henderson. Oh, that is a new word. Did I say recovery? You did. Oh, heck. Yeah, man. That was awesome. He's going to recoup a bird and recoverate. Oh, man, it's been a while. That sounds like an awesome drink.

Let's go in on this, fellas. You want to start a new sports drink? A new sports drink, recoverate. Are you kidding me? You tell me, what do you want to do? You want to, you want to gatorate or you want to recoverate? I need to recovery. I'm out here working hard. I know what it does. Exactly. Yeah. What's a gator do besides try and eat me? I thought that was the name of the other drink, Gator do. Recuperate and recovery. Gator do and recoverate.

But prior to Daryl Henderson going down in that game, he looked outstanding as he's looked, you know, in his opportunity. So it reminded me at the W. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was perfect for today. No, the player that I, so I'm out on Cam Acres going into a buyer. Do either of you disagree with that? Yeah, I do. I would add Cam Acres. I think Cam Acres is worth a stash. Okay.

Well, let me put the name against it I was going to bring up and see who would you rather pick up. I was going to talk about Damian Harris, who has been pretty good. I mean, one, he looks good. They're wanting to run the ball. They can't pass because Cam stinks. Now, the Patriots offense as a whole stinks. The touchdown opportunities might not be there. But since he's came back, you know, he missed the first three weeks in the last.

four games that he's played. He's had two games over 100 yards. He's, you know, been involved and looked all right. I'm interested. He should be rostered. In a spot start, what is so brutal about him is two weeks ago against San Francisco, 40% of the snaps. That's the highest he's seen on the year. Even in his monster game against the Buffalo Bills, 31% of the snaps, it's not a number to chase

that a guy who's getting 31% of snaps is going to see 16 attempts. But against the Jets, I think you can play him. Yeah. That was going to be where I went. Can I entice you by the New York Jets? Of course you can. If they start shipping out their defense, you might see more James White on the field. Even if they don't. Oh, the Patriots, you mean? Yes. Yeah. Can we talk tight ends? Yep. All right, tight end drop candidates. George Kittle, you're letting him go eight weeks. See you later. Yep. Johnny Smith.

compared to Dallas Goddard, for example. I'd rather have Dallas Goddard, yes. But he is on a by week, so no, I retract my statement. Okay. Because you'll get zero points from Goddard. Well, yeah, but you could pivot to somebody else for a week and have Goddard and use them rest of season. It's funny because I think the two main pickups this week on waiver wires are fellas you can't play this week.

This is the week where you're going to pick up Dallas Goddard and you're going to pick up Austin Hooper. Those are two known commodities that are going to help you the rest of season stretch if you're having struggles. Let's say you're the, you know, the Jono Smith guy and he's just stunk. I would hold on to Johnny Smith and pick up a Dallas Goddard or Austin Hooper and, you know, go from there. You bide your time for a week and I think both of these guys are going to be good plays.

the majority of the game's rest of season. All right. Pickups for this week then, Jason. Who are you targeting to start? Oh, man. There's a handful of players. The names that come to mind are Logan Thomas, Trey Burton in Evident Egram. No, Jordan Reed? Well, Jordan Reed would be fantastic if I knew he was going to be out there. We've got Rule 81. If he is healthy and activated and George Kittle is not, then you play Jordan Reed.

Is he fully recoverated? I don't. I mean, we got to ship him some recovery immediately. Powerful stuff. I mean, yeah, you don't even don't drink it. You pour it on the wound. The timeline says that he could. It says do not drink on the bottle. I mean, not for human consumption. Right. Yeah, the timeline. It's radioactive. He could return for week nine.

but I don't have any more information than that. And it's hard to. He's been asking to practice. I think he practiced last week. Shanahan says it's been impressive on his recovery. He's worth throwing out there. Oh, absolutely. Not that you want to start him on a Thursday. But I mean, Jordan Reed, rest of season? Sure. Yeah, pick him up. I mean, is that a better, is he a better play than Dallas Gotter? Probably not, but he could be. I think he'll get two or three. I'm hoping for two or three really good games before the injury.

to Jordan Reed. So I don't know if he can make it rest of season. He's never been able to do that. Trey Burton, 4-4-48 had the touchdown last week. It's a couple nice weeks in a row. You could do a lot worse. Yeah, it's tough against Baltimore, but they are using these tight ends as Philip Rivers does, as Frank Reich does. And Trey Burton, I think, is say what you want about the size of Gigantor and the...

He's huge. He is huge and the history of Jack Doyle. But I think Trey Burton is the best of the three tight-ins. It is, yeah, it's murky once again in tight-in land. But those are some potential starts. Austin Hooper's on bye. Yeah, I'm with Jason that Hooper and Goddard are, if you are looking long term. And this week, if I'm picking somebody up to play, because my.

My tight end is on by, whatever. It would be Logan Thomas or Eric Ebron. Eric Ebron from the Steelers gets to take on the Dallas Cowboys. Oh, that's mighty nice. Yeah. Oh, I'm so excited. I have the Steelers defense this week. I've got the Patriots defense this week. I'm very excited against the Jets. Well, if you don't have one of those, let's talk about some other defenses you can start. The Texans are at the top of my list. Sure. They are playing Jake Luton and the Jacksonville Jaguars. And the Texans.

Who knows? They may ship some players out before the deadline today, but I love starting defenses against rookies because rookies look like Ben Danucci. And that's great for defenses. Yeah, there's actually a lot of streaming options this week at the defense. Cardinals. I like Houston. Like the Cardinals against two. I get it. If you look at, if you just look at the box score of what happened, you go, holy crap, the dolphins dominated. Well, their defense absolutely manhandled the Los Angeles Rams.

Kyle Murray is a very different quarterback than Jared Goff, who Jared Goff just stands there and gets hit. Kyle and Murray will not be doing that. So Arizona is very interesting and Washington is very interesting against the New York Giants. Daniel Jones turns the ball over and Washington is one of the best teams in terms of pressure rate against the quarterback. Yeah, Packers Thursday night against San Francisco with Nick Mullins. They're probably not going to do a ton on offense in that game.

So that's another option as well. And the Titans who have shorted up their secondary via trade a little bit take on Nick Foles who makes mistakes as well. Real quick to just add on to the Cardinals, I think they're a great play against the Dolphins. Mike, do you know how bad the Dolphins offense was? Do you know who the leading receiver for the Dolphins was? Oh my gosh. Okay, so Parker had the touchdown. Team Grant maybe?

uh jakeem grant was one yard behind the leader the leader was durham smyth with 16 receiving yards that was the leader for the entirety of the game are you let me just transition that into are you actively shipping devante parker out as fast as possible with the touchdown he lucked into less one hundred percent shopping devonte parker yes okay let's talk quarterbacks full stream ahead

All right, every week we're bringing you a streaming quarterback option outside the norm, right? Outside the every week starters, somebody that we say, hey, the matchup says this could be a week. You have biweeks, you have injuries. Mike, you and I are choosing from the same game, so I'll let you go first. All right, I'm going with Kirk Cousins quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings. He is taking on the Detroit lines. We have a 53 point over under.

That is juicy. It is at home for Kirk. No weather. Yeah, not weathery. Not weathery when you're indoors. And Detroit has been beat several times by fantasy quarterbacks, including most recently by P. River himself and the Indianapolis Colts. Philip Rivers ended up as the quarterback seven. And just a couple weeks ago, I mean, you had Gardner Minshue against this team. So Minnesota and Kirk Cousins, I like him.

Well, the same game, I'm going to go with Matthew Staffer against Minnesota. They've given up a top eight performance in every one of their games. It's a 53 point over-under. Yeah, it's the same story. I hope we're getting the game that we think we're getting with that over-under. I hope so. And, you know, he did it all last week and finished the number three quarterback without Kenny G. It's a bit of chasing. But, you know, in the streaming quarterback area, proof of concept is kind of important versus going, you know, with somebody that you haven't seen do it. Stafford has...

started to look a lot better. Yeah, and my guy, I'm going to be honest, I love, I love my guy this week. I'm very confident in my pick. Really? Yeah, and it might be. Send in the car. Yes, sir, baby. I really think their car is a great play this week. I know you do because you brought Henry Rugs up so soon.

Earlier. I just, the matchup is great. If you look at what was happening with the Raiders offense, I wanted to love Derek Carr last week, but that insane weather game, you know, the.
