Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 11 Fantasy Forecast, Starts of the Week, News

The wide receiver, it's Brandon Lafell for me. Brandon Lafell against Buffalo. Yes, there is the Dan Amandola factor and everybody's all hyped up about him. But I expect Brandon Lafell to have, you know, be a solid wide receiver to play on Monday night football, nine to ten targets in this game. And I think you might get in the end zone finally.

Yeah. That's going to be my, that'll be my prediction this week. No, I like it a lot. My wide receiver start of the week is Amari Cooper. Obviously, a super talented rookie wide receiver. Last week, he got five for 79. He hasn't had, it's been five games since he's had less than five receptions. So now he comes up against Detroit, and I know Detroit looked amazing against Green Bay. But that was just, you know, that's one of those.

intense rivalries where they always rise to a certain occasion. Detroit is not that team. Detroit has not been that great against the pass. And Amari Cooper, I think you can start him because he has a decent baseline. He's not going to go out there and put up four fantasy points and burn you. He's going to be enough consistency to where you can put him in your lineup, get something for him, and he has the potential here to have an explosive game.

Mike's wide receiver start of the week is Stevie Johnson, and I like that a lot. He's pretty much the number one target there right now. I didn't like Gates, okay? Because I thought Gates is, Kansas City is giving up something like 31 yards a game to the tight end or less than that. Something ridiculous. They're playing very well against the tight end, and I like their often. So this is a target play, I think, for Mike. The KC. secondary has improved, but Stevie Johnson is just going to get the targets. Malcolm Floyd is out this week. Kendall, or not Kendall, right?

Keenan Allen is out, obviously, for the season. So Stevie Johnson is somebody that you can kind of stream in there and I think get at least a baseline production. I'm going to speak to that. Oh, I like that a lot. Okay, so let's talk tight-in. I'll start with Mike's tight-in. Start. And he makes it very simple. He says it's Eric Ebrin, and then he writes in all caps, Oakland. I think you mean, Oakland! Yeah. That's what Eberon said when he saw the schedule. Yeah, I mean, you know.

Oakland still all year has been eaten up. I realize this last week, this last week, Kyle Rudolph didn't eat them up. But he dropped a wide open, I mean, drop the touchdown. I mean, it's like, yeah, you can't ask for more or rather less from the defense opposing. So I love the Eric Ebron pick. I would have picked them for mine if I hadn't had him last week. But mine, I decided to go a little bit lower. We're at the point in the season where.

Injuries and other factors are coming in and people need sometimes to go off of waivers. So I went with a stream type of guy, and that's Jacob Tammy. Jacob Tammy has had a few big volume games. Indianapolis gives up a lot of yards and receptions and recently touchdowns to the tight end. Hankerson is back to practice a little bit, but he's still coming up lame. So I think that you've got a matchup here.

that is going to need the tight end and use the tight end. And I expect a decent game from Tammy, especially if you're in a half point or full point PPR. I'd start them over a lot of other guys, including, as we said earlier, Jordan Reed. It's about time, Jacob Tammy got streamed. Good. There you go.

So for me, it's Delaney Walker. I said it earlier. They don't have a lot of other past catching options. So I think five to six catches, 70, 80 yards, and a chance at a touchdown is what you can expect tonight in the Thursday night football game. So if you're not feeling great about your tight end and you need to roll somebody in there, I'd roll Delaney Walker in there and see where the chips fall. I like that a lot. So those are our starts of the week. And that does it for today's show. We're going to have the rest of the fantasy forecast tomorrow.

We should have Chris Meena on for our daily dose segment and some other things going on tomorrow. And do you have any parting words for our listeners, Mike? I just said Mike. Mike, do you have any thoughts? Yeah. Wait. Mike? Mike? Okay. Jason, do you have any final thoughts? I am going to be working out my knee to get over this injury to come back strong next week. I had four touchdown passes. Yes, you did. I mean, that was probably the only bad throw I made all day. And honestly,

You should have caught it. I was probably just too slow. You threw a regular person, and I was out running like a... That's okay. You were open. I should have hit you. Yeah, I agree. I apologize. That's all right. I blame Jay Cutler's mechanics video that I've been watching. Oh, goodbye.
