Week 14 Waivers & QB Streamers, Jims! Gyms! Jams! Gems!

The other guys will work in, but I still think that Samuels will get a ton of work. And going up against Oakland, Samuels will be a great play. He's at a touchdown in limited work in both of the games that Connor has exited. He's a good player. Yeah, yeah. He's a great tight end. He's the best tight end. He's the best tight end I've ever seen. Oh, man. All right. Other running backs of interest, let's say you don't win the...

the battle to go get Jeff, Jalen, or Justin? Are you looking at somebody like Naim Hines, who's on the field quite a bit last week? Or are you interested in Chris Thompson? Because despite the fact that he had a pretty poor game, he was targeted five times in the passing game. He's got the Giants coming up. I guess there's a consolation prize, except he's more owned than these other guys that we've been talking about. He's gotten nearly a 50% ownership across the leagues.

Rashad Penny, only 30% owned. Looks pretty good. Chris Carson had the finger injury. Now he should play, but can we actually, yeah. He's playing against Minnesota. But then San Francisco, Kansas City, Arizona to end the year. Sure. You got to grab it. I think that Rashad Penny is worth the stash right now. I don't know if you're going to play him against Minnesota. I would prefer not to, but he's definitely worth picking up. Keep your eye. Damien Williams, do you have interest in picking him up or at this point?

The signing of Charkandric West really puts a damper on Damien Williams, what he was able to do. So you can, I would not burn any kind of priority. I would not spend any kind of reasonable fab on Damian Williams. But if you have a spot on your bench, I'm okay with it. We received a pile of thank yous for reminding people to pick up your handcuffs during playoff time. Yeah. Now, we didn't expect it to come on the heels of a cream hunt suspension. But remember.

You know, Royce Freeman, Philip Lindsay owners. If Royce Freeman's out there, he's 50% owned. Are you, you know, Rex Burkett. Yes, I would pick. If I have. Batavius Murray, Chase Edmins. Yeah, I mean, all these guys. And John Kelly, how we talked about, Gio Bernard. And a lot of these guys were talking about, like, Geo Bernard is available in 75% of leagues. People with Joe Mixing, what are you doing? You got to get Gio on your bench. Like,

Of all the backs. You're one play from losing Joe Mixing. Yeah. And he's been banged up. And when Geo comes in, he's been like a 20 points score multiple times. He's great when he gets the full workload. Shall we turn to tight end? Yes. We're going to tight end. Wonderful. And yeah, you should, you should bring that up. Jason's note. So we list off our favorites of the waiver wire. Here's Jason's note for tight end. No one.

Please no one's sweet mercy don't make me. Ironically, he didn't have to pick one because he's at home sick. Ironically, the best pickup in Yahoo! Ligs is Jalen Samu's. Is it better to have to pick up and play a tight-in right now or be home throwing up? Which one's better, Brooks? Wow. Do you have a preference? Probably be at home. Just because you can get it over with. Unless Jalen Samuels is your starting tight-in this week. Okay, we have to bring up some names.

Look, I don't want to pick one either. Chris Herndon, taking on Buffalo. Sam Darnold returning. No? No? No. C.J. Uzama. Is C.J. Usama or bust for me? I mean, well, okay, you have to, you have to talk about Ian Thomas, Carolina. He's the guy who was supposed to.

be the pickup and play right away when Craig Olson went down earlier in the year. That didn't work the first time. Well, it didn't work for Malacost this past week either in Denver, where it was, okay, we've lost another tight end. Lacoste is going to step in and goose. What about the postman? Dan Arnold. Dan Arnold, not enough snaps for me to. Did he, let's, I'm pulling up his snaps right now.

He did go up from 21 to 23% of snaps. Yeah, I mean, he took one seam route that he almost scored on. He ended up fumbling instead. You're not going to give him the Ebron effect? No. No. Dan Arnold hasn't earned it. This discussion is terrible. No, this is not even fun. You should. People don't subscribe for these names. Ian Thomas, Dan Arnold, Matt LaCost, Jordan Thomas. I'm probably benching my tight end this week. Yeah. I think I'm going blank.

I'm going with an empty spot. No, I mean, Vance McDonald is probably the one that if he's out there and you have to take him, you're kind of leaning on the offenses here. So I guess Arnold would fall in behind that. Any Ricky Seals-Jones interest now with Christian Kirk going out? No. No, stop. No. I don't want him. All right. All right. I mean, I'm seeing the notes here. Antonio Gates. Here's the note. No stat line at all.

Had a two-point conversion. Is that zero-for-zero with a two-point conversion? Sure is. Unbelievable. Still outscored Trey Burton. It's CJ Usama because at least he's running the top five tight-in routes each week despite the lack of production. Driscoll will look to him seven times. He just needs one big score. One big score. Can we stop talking about tight ends now? All right. Let's talk about defenses. That's actually far more interesting. Yes. Win a week.

Look, Denver, they're gone. Hopefully you picked them up because we've been talking about them forever. I've had them way too long. I've had Denver on my team way too long. And it's finally going to pay off. Your investment is looking good. For this week, Buffalo, of the teams that are on your waiver wire, Buffalo is very interesting to me. 70% available. They get the Jets at home.

Everyone was so excited to play the New York Jets defense against Buffalo. Hey, baby Josh? Yeah. Hey, baby Josh. You're doing a defense troll of Baby Josh? Yeah, because he's fresh off and missing the playoffs. Yeah, I don't care. Look, we were watching that game, the week. Baby Josh is on the corner of the couch and just so smugglies. Like, I got the Jets in like three leagues. This is going to be great. That's how he walked in this morning. Yeah. And then.

And then the Buffalo defense proceeded to shellac the Jets, which I fully expect that to happen again. Sam Darnel's bat. Right. Which is great, which is great for the Buffalo bill. Okay. No, I mean, but that's still a non, not a lot of people look at those at that name because of how the team's playing, but Josh Allen's got to move in the football. Their defense is all right.

Pittsburgh has Oakland this week. They're 70% owned, but if they're out there for some reason, grab them. So between the Detroit-Arizona matchup, it is in Arizona, both of these defenses are available. Would you play either one and which one do you prefer? Every single time this season that I've thought Arizona and the defense, which by the way, once again, it went on the road. It held, I believe they have held the chiefs to the fewest points of any team this year at Arrowhead or anywhere. Then they went on the road and stopped.

whatever thing. They got McCarthy fired. They got McCarthy fired. And so you want to say that you believe in it. Here's the risk with Arizona's defense, which is fine. Their defense is fine. So you would prefer them over the line at this point? No. And this is what I'm getting at. The problem is the offense, which just lost Christian Kirk. It puts their defense in terrible positions. They can have a great week, but Rosen can give the ball up and short fields for Detroit.

I don't want to play Arizona. I would rather play Detroit on the road. Their defense against Josh Rosen. All right. I've missed too many times on thinking Arizona can get it done. New Orleans against Tampa Bay. Do you believe in the New Orleans defense, the second half defense opportunities with James Winston doing James Winston thing? They're going to get turnovers. It's risky, though. This depends on your scoring format where if...

If you take a huge hit for yards and scores against your defense, I probably would not consider it. But if that's minimal and interceptions and those things are huge for your defense, then I would still go with it. All right. Let's talk about some quarterbacks. Full stream ahead. Let's bring up some streams and then I want to bring up maybe some other names that you would have to start them over.

Okay. Okay. Now, Jason is not here, but his streamer was going to be Baker Mayfield against Carolina. Here's the problem at this point in the season. If you're, if you still haven't found your quarterback, shame on you. Because you should have had a quarterback by now. There's been incredible opportunities this week or this year. You should have had them stashed away for this week. Even if you're streaming. You should have been able to pick somebody up and then they turn into your starter and you ride with that.

That person. Don't shame people that don't have quarterbacks. I'm talking to people in the playoffs. They need a little slap in the behind. Didn't you just tell me that you snuck into the playoffs in one of your other leagues? Yeah, but I have Matt Ryan. Well, sure. And I'm still going to play Matt Ryan over. My point is I would play Matt Ryan over the real streamers this week who Josh Rosen against Detroit. No, thank you. Ryan Tannenhill against the Patriots. No, thank you.

Case Keenham, every time we think that we can get Kay Skeenum in there, which he's better in victories, and they're going to be projected to beat the San Francisco 49ers, so maybe. And like we said, Jason's streamer is Baker Mayfield. He's only available in 40% of leagues. Would you play him over Russell Wilson against Minnesota? Mr. 11 completion, four touchdown Russell Wilson. Yes. You would.

Yes. At this point, that's what my head is saying, but the rankings will be out later today, and you can see what's exactly how I've projected it. I would stream Josh Allen this week. He's only 5% owned. I was leaving the floor over for you. I know. I appreciate that. Normally we get into the streamer picks and whoever gets them first, we brag. Josh Allen, he gets to take on the Jets at home. He's running like the Dickens. That's a saying, right?

Is that a real, is that a real modern? Well, given the season, I wish you would have said he's running like the Charles Dickens. Well, that's what I meant. Ah, yes. He's a real gym. Josh Allen's a real gym this week. He's a jam of a man. He's a jam of a man. I'm still surprised at the doubting that goes into Josh Allen. You are? Yes. He's the fantasy football doubting. The fantasy doubt. He's, what are you? Not the.

You're surprised that when you go up against Tennessee and you get 80 passing yards, 80 passing yards against Houston? Here's the thing. He's got Zay Jones to throw to. Robert Foster, McKinsey, Charles Clay, or the corpse of. Yes. And he's still putting up top five fantasy weeks, two weeks in a row. So I don't think that you're going to go. Your floor is pretty high.

for Josh Allen this week. Now, I'm not going out there and I'm not rolling them out there above your big time names. Okay. Because you're, you know, you're not guaranteed to get great production, but the rushing yardage is, is there. So I, I'm going to play Lamar Jackson against Kansas City over Josh Allen. I'm on board. I'm on board with you now that I believe that Josh Allen has just finally hit the point of the season where he's.

throwing it all out and said, fine, I'm just going to win the game. Because his first six games before these past two, I mean, he was averaging 25 rushing yards a game, which that's a nice boost, but that's like Alex Smith and Aaron Rogers. You remember he's coming back off of an injury, right? Yeah, but I'm saying even to start the year, that's what it was. But now 99 yards against Jacksonville, 135 against Miami. That's what I mean. I believe that Josh Allen has flipped the switch where he's.

He's saying he's far more likely to run. He doesn't want to... He's not on a mission to prove his arm, I believe. He just wants to win now. The thing that's nice about him is, you know, you can see all the holes in the actual game, right? He's a 52% passer. 18 for 33. Sure. Sure. And he's a 52% passer. But he has a big arm, which means you get big play potential. And then he has, he's got legs, man. And he knows how to use them. He should have just been like a...

joined the circuit of arm wrestling then because he has arms because he's got a big arm and he's got a strong arm i think he would be far more uh no fine i liked where that was going no no you missed because you were distracted with a very poorly timed arm wrestling joke you missed you missed what brooks picked up

when I said he has legs and knows how to use them. No, I didn't even hear it. Oh, I heard this easy top reference. No, stop. I was going full force into an arm wrestling joke. Yeah, full force. Mike, you have Lamar Jackson. Yeah. Look, Lamar Jackson is still available in a little bit over 50% of leagues. We'll play Kansas City. At Arrowhead. Yeah. No, look, he's got the same argument made for him that you can make for Josh Allen. Yeah. You're not a little bit afraid of saying his name out loud, though?
