Week 7 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Super Yeti - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/19

I mean, these guys are all over 60%. And because they weren't drafted when you factor in dead leagues, there's probably 10 to 15% of leagues where they're not rostered. Main waiver wire pickups. Are you interested in trying to find the Alex Collins pivot for Seattle against New Orleans defense on Monday night? Would you rather not have that headache this week? Oh, man, would I rather not have that headache? But I am a case study and I have to have this headache?

Um, I, I've got to, is that like where you just keep punching yourself in the head? Yeah, I mean, I've got Alex Collins. I choose this. I need if I, if I can't get, um, you know, I, I had the Ernest Johnson. I dropped them right going into the week. Brutal. Uh, before the cream hunt injury. Um, if you're, you know, if you're not able to get the higher priorities, you have to take a shot on, um, the Seahawks running back situation. I believe it will be personally, I, I've,

I've been doing a lot of research this morning. I think it'll be Rashad Penny who gets the majority of the work if Alex Collins is gone. But I think similar to how Andy Holloway's voice just sounded, talking about against the New Orleans Saints, it's not like Homer won't be involved. This is one where I would prefer to avoid this whole situation. These guys will be lower on my priority. I'm not spending a ton of fab on...

Rashad Penny, I do think Rashad Penny would be the guy if Alex Collins is gone. Yeah, I wish I do. I agree with that, but Monday night makes it difficult. Obviously, Elijah Mitchell, go after him. But then after that, I know, we'll get to the Browns, but to me it would be the guys in Washington, excuse me, of Jady McKissick, we're showing he's available nearly half of leagues. And with what happens to, he's already been.

like fantasy relevant. You know, I think three of us games, he's been very startable. The problem with McKissick is you've never known for, you haven't had the confidence to play him. But now with Antonio Gibson looking like he aggravated the stress fracture in his shin, and then word of a possible calf injury, I mean, he left the game, he came back, left again, he had a fumble. It was, it was rough. And I would expect Antonio Gibson to miss at least a week or two.

Not a doctor, but that's what I'm expecting because the only way to get better from this injury is to rest. And so J.D. McKissick against Green Bay, the past catching running back? Like, that's very interesting to me. Because of the game script, you're not going to see a lot of Jared Patterson. Yeah, I would love to have McKissick in, like, that's where I'm living is, I'm begging for JD McKissick. Begging for a kiss. See, Deerunis Johnson.

That was frightening. Dearness Johnson is interesting because you have the advantage of like, you know, Thursday. And I don't think that, I mean, Nick Chub might be able to make it back. I don't think he does. But, I mean, Demetrike Felton has played six snaps a game. I mean, this is not a player that has been very involved. He's playing as a wide receiver. Yeah, he's not a running back. I mean, he's had two snaps, I think, in the backfield the entire year. Like Deer and his Johnson last week came in after the cream hunt injury.

He's the player that would get the volume. And obviously this offense is still predicated on the running game. He's my number one pickup in reasonable realm. Like J.D. McKissick is probably rostered. So Deerness Johnson is going to be the number one pickup or I can put him right into my lineup. But are you going heavy after him? Because the waivers will likely run before you have the final word on Nick Chubb is playing. Because if Nick Chubb is active, I think Deerunis Johnson is still up.

a flex type of a player because they're not going to give everything to Nick Chubb, especially right off of an injury. But not knowing the role for Thursday, what kind of fab are you talking about you would drop for de earnest? Well, if you believe what you believe about him being relevant regardless, and there's the chance that like obviously Nick Chubb shared work with Cream Hunt. Yeah, I think he's relevant long term, but he's not like a smet.

He's in a really good volume position on Thursday if Nick Chub is out. 20%. That's the number I had in my head as well. It is a little bit upsetting that this week on a short week, we're not sure whether a hunt will, whether Chub will be there. The next week, it's against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, so it's not a great matchup there. But I would say 20% on Deer Ernest Johnson. And you might have to go more because I do think that he is a player that.

you can start. The one that's like, this is my 1A is Deerness Johnson. My 1B is Ramandre Stevenson because of the matchup against the Jets. I think that Ramandre Stevenson is getting more and more involved. Damien Harris is an awesome play this week. He's going to be great, but he's been getting banged up. I think that if the New England Patriots.

have a lead. They're going to be able to run the ball successfully on the Jets because everyone has been able to. And I think Romandre is talented. And then you have the, like something that can't happen with Durness Johnson, barring worst news on Kareem Hunt, is that he becomes a thing the rest of the season. Whereas I think remandre could play his way, could play his way into becoming a relevant fantasy flex option rest of season.

If we knew more about Latavius Marie's injury, which right now is rumored to be maybe a slight high ankle sprain, if we knew Latavius Murray was out, I would elevate DeVant de Freeman to the same level of Deerness Johnson. Sure. So the problem is not knowing that. Like the confidence level on spinning 20% of fab is much higher on Dearnis right now. But from, you know, you're listening to the show, before you put those bids in that are going to go through tomorrow morning,

monitor both Nick Chubb and Latavius Murray as much as we can. And if you get news, adjust accordingly because I would spend 20% on Devante Freeman if I knew Latavius was out just because of this offense. And you're going to, I mean, what would the prop have been, the prop bet on Latavius, Lev Bell, and Devante Freeman all having a rushing touchdown last week? That shows you the opportunity that you get with Baltimore.

And it seems like that's a lot better opportunity than Deerunis Johnson with Case Keenum or sorry, with Baker injured and the lack of other options. We do have a slight update that you can factor into the decision. The Browns have signed running back John Kelly to the active roster from the practice squad, which Nick Chub's not playing. That's a maneuver that at least says they're getting ready to be without Nick Chubb. Yeah, I mean, that that's for like.

So far more confident. When a team makes a transaction, they're saying a lot more than when they talk to the press. Yeah, and Chubb will get an additional, you know, 10 days if he misses this Thursday game. So, all right. Devonta Freeman, you know, are you spinning on Lev Bell? Are you spending on Demetrike Felton? Are you spending on Jared Patterson? I am personally avoiding all three of the.

Backups to the backup situation here. I think there are enough names to go after in Dearness Johnson, Ramandre Stevenson, Devante Freeman, Rashad Penny. I would focus on the starters, the new starters, the backup starters. Sure. I don't disagree with most of that. But I think Jared Patterson is interesting. Like, because you don't, you could probably get him for.

quite cheap, especially in a home league, he'll probably pass through waivers and then just be there on Wednesday morning. And we don't have the news on Gibson. If Gibson misses multiple weeks, then McKissick will be the primary running back in terms of fantasy points that you want to go after. But Patterson will get work. He should see, you know, 10 to 12 opportunities per week with Gibson out.

All right, it's so tough with this one matchup. It's like if they had a very positive game script matchup, I would be feeling pretty good about that. But you're right, he will get work. They're not going to give everything. We're in, you know, it's crazy with all the bi-week players, but we are in the time of just start reminding yourself, you need to get your insurance running backs on your squad if you can. It's so hard. I agree.

I'll tell you, I'm in leagues where I drop Jared Patterson, who is covering for Antonio Gibson, leagues where I've dropped Jeremy McNichols. Well, you don't need Jeremy McMill. Yeah, I mean, because he's immortal. Yeah, Derek Henry's immortal. He can't be hurt. I just can't afford it. I can't afford two roster spots on players that can't play. Like, it's funny because if Jeremy McNichols hadn't been banged up.

which he was. I mean, he played last night, but very sparingly. And you saw even Blazing game got out there on multiple third downs instead of Jeremy Nichols. So he was dealing with an injury. Also, how dope is that name? Blazing game? Yeah. Yeah. That guy better be a superstar. And he just has to scream, blazing. He's more of a fullback than a superstar. But I'm saying, when he runs by people, you got Blaze. You got Blaze. But like Mick Nichols, I would have played.

If he was 100% healthy, he's an actual bi-week-fell in option. You could have played him this upcoming week with the Kansas City matchup, one of the highest overrunners of the week because he's had relevant games. His receiving work, especially now knowing that Julio is probably going to be out with the reaggravation. McNichols is interesting in that way. It just stinks that he's kind of banged up and it hurts your confidence. Tight-end options. Zachertz is going to make his debut with the Cardinals against Houston.

It could be worse than Zach Gertz this week. I imagine they're going to feature him on a few plays. It can't be much better as far as, it can't be better as far as matchup goes. Likely rostered. But if you are in tight-end purgatory, would you make a move, a preemptive move and try and trade for Zach Gertz? We saw Max Williams starting to establish and get really involved in this offense. The team said we need Zach Gertz. We're going to get him involved.

Would you try and go steal him before a potential mini breakout game here against Houston? I think he's going to be okay. I think he will be okay, too. Yeah, I mean, this week specifically, I think it's great. So even if you were to acquire him because you need a player this week, and then if he has a good game, would you flex him?

I think so. If you were in a buy situation, instead of playing one of those wide receivers? I was going to bring that up. All those wide receivers we talked about, like the Hunter Renfroes and Jameson Crowders, it's kind of like Zacherts probably has a higher probability of a touchdown here with the Arizona Cardinals against Houston, Texas. Funny enough, so Ricky Seals Jones, who is by far in a way, he's the number one pickup. He's available in nearly 60% of leagues.

He is, he is important to this offense. Six targets, four for 58, and the big score. He's taken over the big score. Yeah, the big one. He took over the Logan Thomas roll. He's involved. He, I will be flexing Ricky Seals Jones more than likely in our league of record with how many players are out and how my bench looks. What about Ross Dwellie? Peanut Bunny Dwelley. Ross Dulley's had a relevant week. Where yet? Where yet?

George Kittle? Why, you wanted me to get in? Yeah, man. He had a touchdown two weeks ago. That's all I got for you. End of list. He, well, he's filled in admirably. Dwelly or Forkser? Forkser. I would go Dwelly. If it's Jimmy, if it's Jimmy Handsome Garapolo, I'll play Ross Dwelly. I think Ross Dwelly will get some work. We've seen him do it before without.

I know. Kittle is out. Have we? Yes. Okay. I don't remember it. I'm looking at his 2020. I know he had one game where he had four. Don't look at his stats, Jason. Yeah, he had one game where he had four targets. One. Uno. I mean, he's done nothing. He did a lot in practice. Oh, yeah. If you don't play him, how are you possibly going to do the peanut butter while he dance on Sunday? I will, I promise I'll do it.

without playing him just for fun and it will be empty two touchdowns back in 2019 number four overall that one game oh how did he did he have a single other no no no no game that whole year with let's say 30 yards nope no okay no i mean looking at his game log it's talking me more out of it i would say

Statistically speaking. I guess I am just remembering that one game. I'm remembering that game. Firk daddy is insulted right now. Specifically, I remember that one game. Firk daddy's been awful. Because Judge Giamatti still better than Dwelly. I'm pretty sure that Judge Giamadee in our Dinah League, Kittle was out and he was forced to play Dwellie. And then it paid off. So that just stuck in my mind. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I won with him and like Driscoll in my lineup. Yep. Yep. There we go.
