Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 10 Waivers & QB Streamers, Kristi Yamaguchi

I'm going for the perfect season. Yes, you're going for the per... A phrase that has never been uttered in existence. I just traded for Josh McCown because I'm going for the perfect season. Oh, I know. I know. All right. So other starts this week. Guys, you really like the matchup. You think you can grab off of waivers and get value. Who else sticks out? Well, I...

If it's between Robert Woods and Cooper Cup on your waiver wire, I would rather have Cooper Cup. Really? I would, absolutely. And you were about to say Robert Woods. I was going to say Robert Woods is probably my favorite pickup of that list. Cooper Cup and his red zone targets are off the chain. I mean, this is just where he lives and breathes. He gets targeted inside the 20, inside the 10. I'm throwing that out there because I think people would react to Robert Woods as two touchdowns. Now, one of Robert Woods' touchdowns was a third and 33 against the Giants. Right. And I just...

That's not what I'm reacting to with Robert Woods. The last four weeks for Robert Woods, five for 66, five for 70, five for 59, four for 70. Yeah. And he had the bonus two touchdowns. I mean, I think he's leading them in receptions. In a half point or four point PPR league, Robert Woods has been a stud for four weeks. No doubt about it. I mean, you're not. The numbers say Woods over cut. Honestly, he's had two bad games. Yeah.

Who else stands out? I mean, do you want to pick up Josh Doxon? Three for 59 on five targets last week? More involved? I would rather have Crowder than Doxon from, you know, a history standpoint and what we saw before he missed the game. But I don't like the matchup this week.

against the Minnesota Vikings. The guy that would probably be next on my list would actually be Muhammad Sanoo. Yeah, I love it. Muhammad Sanoo, since he's come back from the injury. Falcon's wide receiver. He's been great the last three weeks. Now this past week it took a touchdown. He's only three for 23, but he got the touchdown just like he had the week before when he also had six for 74. Week before that, six for 65. And now you come up in a matchup.

against Dallas that is, you know, the 25th worst against the wide receiver position. I think Sunu is a guy you can rely on for a decent floor and obviously has the touchdown upside. Now, if you can pick up a guy that you don't necessarily have to play this week, Mark, what? There's a standout for me in that. Oh, I was going to say a guy I'm very interested in his Marquise Lee, who I don't necessarily love him against the Chargers. He could.

potentially get shut down. But after that, Cleveland, Arizona, the Colts. That's his next three matchups following that. So if you're looking for just a bent stash. Eight for 75-minute touchdown is worth mentioning. That's what he's coming off of. Jacksonville, Jaguars, wide receiver, Mark Eastley, I think is, he's got three great matchups coming up here. If you're dealing with those by weeks, then I think he's very interesting. If you are looking more to the future, another guy, I mean, he's still available.

in the majority of leagues, which is, you know, I guess it makes sense, but I would pick him up. That's Corey Davis. Corey Davis, he didn't have a big game this last week, only two for 28 on five targets, but he was on the field over 70% of snaps. He was the second most routes run for the team, and he is great as a wide receiver. He was drafted in the top 10. You saw week one. He was fantastic. I think Cory Davis is a guy where most of these players on this list we're talking about, you're trained to.

You're trying to squeeze some juice out of that. You're right there, buddy? Oh, I'm trying to. It's that long neck. Yeah, it's the draft neck. You have no idea how hard it is to talk with the draft neck, Andy. But you're trying to squeeze. Have you ever tried to clear a draft neck? Oh, it takes a while. You need a plunger. A plunger? Does the Heimlich work in that situation? You have to do it at least 20 times. Yeah, it's like a slope. Yep. But most of these players, you're...

You're hoping for, this is what you're hoping for out of these guys, right? It's like, I'm going to get, you know, five for 70 and maybe he'll get a touchdown. You're just wanting to start a guy that will have a little bit of value. Corey Davis is just about the only guy to me that has the chance that is realistic to say, look, over the next eight games, he could be a top, you know, 20 receiver. Him and Sterling Shepard, those type.

We do have streaming quarterbacks on the show today. We'll get into the quarterbacks shortly. The running backs, let's talk about waiver options at the running back position. We talked a lot about Damian Williams and Kenyon Drake yesterday. Obviously, if they're out there, you know the situation if you listen to yesterday's show, both heavily involved in the passing game, six receptions each on the Monday night football game. Which one do you prefer? I still prefer Kenyon Drake because I think his big play capability means that the limited split touches.

You know, he's got the higher upside to me. Sure. I do, too, despite the fact that Damien Williams was my rising star. I love Kenya Drake. So is Drake your number one running back pickup this week? Not if Matt Forte is out there. Okay. If Matt Forte is out there in your league, I loved everything I saw about him. He's my, probably going to be my start of the week on Thursday. That's a two days. I know, 14 for 77 and two touchdowns. But his, I mean, he's still got it. He still has it. And he looked great. And the way that Josh McCown can now.

utilize play action when their running game is having success. It works both directions. Matt Forte would be my number one pickup if he's available in your league. Outside of Matt Forte, I'd say Rob Kelly's the number two guy, and then I'd go into the Miami running backs myself. What do you guys think? I think I would take the Miami running backs ahead of Rob Kelly at this point. And Forte? No, Forte would be my number one guy as well, but Kelly.

I mean, it's touchdown or bust at this point for Rob Kelly. I mean, he has, he's been, what, over 30 yards one time?

This season. Yeah, and he goes up against Minnesota, one of the best run defenses this week. I would love to have Rob Kelly pick him up and stash him because it's rare to be able to find a starting running back on waivers, and that's what you have in him. It's just a tough week to want to play him. Did either of you guys bring up Orleans Darkwell? No, he is. We do not. He is, you know, owned in a slight majority of leagues, but look, he has been the clear.

head running back and I think he's looked very... 49ers. And he's looked very good and he goes up against the 49ers. If I just wanted a one week to start, which isn't usually how I look at running backs, I'm trying to get as much as I can. But I think Orleans Darkwa will probably be ahead of Matt Forte on my rankings this week. One of the things that people ask us a lot when you're, and I'm going to try to do this more, is when we mention these names and players we like, they...

They kind of don't know who to drop necessarily. So I want to give you four names. I want to tell. Tell me if you would drop them for Forte, Drake, Williams, Darkwa, Rob Kelly. Jonathan Stewart. Would you drive Jonathan Stewart? Okay. Yeah. Theoretic? It's obviously going to be a little bit scoring dependent. If you're in a PPR, Theoretic gets more value. But in general, I think I would rather have most all of these other players. If I was in a full PPR, then I would take him over Rob Kelly. Yes, agree. Ty Montgomery.

Yeah, I would drop Ty Montgomery for these players. I would as well. And Eddie Lacey? Yes, he's injured right here. Yeah, it's unfortunate. So if you got them on your roster, these could be some switchouts you can do this week. Let's go ahead and jump into some tight ends. Wait, before we jump into tight ends, I just want to throw out Danny Woodhead. He is, you know, they're on by this week.

But coming out of the buy, I fully expect him to be back in the past catching roll and active in week 11. So you can wait and try to pick him up next week, but he'll be in more people's radar next week. So should you try and trade Buck Allen this week? Yeah, I mean, we said that last week.

I would be trying to trade Buck Allen. You've got too many guys around him that can change his situation. He's no longer the first down back. Terrence West could come back. Danny Woodhead could come back. So if you can get value for Buck Allen, I think you'd be wise. I think I'm less excited about Danny Woodhead than I am what he does to the, like I realize the concern that he brings. No, in fantasy, like I just don't know what Danny Woodhead's going to offer.

a competitive playoff player if it takes him three weeks to get integrated to a horrible offense. I mean, it's just, but I realize what he does to Buck Allen and what he does to Alex Collins and what he does to the rest of that offense. If it's anything like week one, then he's going to be perfectly fine because he was the go-to target for that whatever quarter. I mean.

I know. I get it. Super thin. Super, super small, small sample size. He was the man for a quarter. But it's the opening week. And that was the go-to target after all of training camp. It's just really hard. It's hard to know whether or not, you know, yes, he was, that was him then, but he's coming off an injury. I'm excited for. And that's fine. We're speaking very positive about Daniel Frank Henry Woodhead. I just looked up his real. Daniel Frank Henry? Daniel Frank Henry.

Woodhead. That sounds like some... DFHW. You know, from the Civil War. His picture kind of looks like that, too. Dearest mother. Yes, exactly. Hey, guys, quick question before we move on, a tight ends. Project, Brooks, project. Desperation play for wide outs. If Evans is out, would you consider Adam Humphreys? Yes, I would. Humphreys, Chris Godwin. No, thank you. Yeah. And then, of course, you have the Dallas wide receivers, too.

If Des Bryant misses time, got to check, of course. You know how I told Brooks to project and the volume was identical? Yeah, it was pretty neat. Have you ever yelled at anyone, Brooks? Do you know what I'm talking about? Like when your voice goes louder and then you get angry? Maybe once or twice. Yeah? No, you've never yelled. I'm guessing if because you yell so little that you probably remember the last time that you yelled.

Do you remember one of these times that you went? Of course he doesn't remember the last time. He's never done it. Actually, I don't know if you guys have looked into this. But before we hired Brooks, I did a full background check on him growing up when he was a teenager. He was the front man for a scream-o band. Was he? Yeah. Long lost it. Oh, that's how you lost it out. He's got those. Every day we strive for. Vocal cords are destroyed. We strive to get better on this show. I mean, we.

We've been doing this for a while, and, you know, Mike's an audio engineer, and every day we listen, we make sure that, you know, the sound quality is great for all of you. And every day I tell Mike to turn Brooks's volume up. But it doesn't matter. It's like he can super, Brooks can compensate for whatever we do in the software. It's really special. I got nothing for you. All right. Project. Project, yeah. Look at you. He just tried to move the mic closer to his mouth because he knows that the volume is not going out. That's a good, yeah, that's a good method.

Um, tight ends. Let's talk about the explosion from Jared Cook, eight for one, 26 on nine targets. Now, he had had value this year when he got into the end zone. All of a sudden, he was a target monster. That first drive, it was all Jared Cook. And you were just like, clearly a game plan. Yeah, absolutely. Kind of similar to what we saw about that Amara Cooper game when all of a sudden that's all he looked at. It does make you wonder a little bit about the progression we've seen from Derek Carr, lack there of this year, in the sense that.

you know, second, third reads, his ability to move the offense outside of these kind of scripted offense plays. I've been so back and forth on car this year. Like I, at times I've expected more from him, at times I've thought the offensive line wasn't what he had last year. But, you know, it's not easy in the NFL. Jared Cook, Greg Olson, Charles Clay, Ben Watson, those are some waiver wire options. Who's your favorite? If you are making that playoff push right now.

And we talked about stats players. You have to pick up Greg Olson. I think that this is an absolute mandatory move. It's still a few weeks away. They play Miami. Then they're on the by week. Is it he can, he's eligible to return after the by week? Jay, am I remembering that correctly? You know, to be honest, I don't remember off the top of my head which week he can go back. But I know it is very soon. He should be practicing. He's eligible after the by week. Okay. So he comes back.

Jets, Saints, Minnesota. So, you know, an okay schedule, but he's Greg Olson. Kelva Benjamin is out of town. I believe once Olson's back, he's immediately the number one target. Yeah, he'll be a top five tight end when he's back, you know, so long as when he gets back, he doesn't re-aggravate that foot injury, which, you know, is a concern, but anyone can get injured. While he's out there, he'll be great. The matchup this week is great for tight ends for Carolina, but I...
