Week 11 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Greasy Stallions

on the show, and sometimes they hit, sometimes they don't. But Belage feels, I feel like Belage is out there on the field because he passed some test in the locker room about the playbook. Like, it's not about how well he plays on the field. It's like, you know what we're doing, so we're cool with you out there. Because otherwise you'd be trying out, as you say, the Dragon Laird or Miles Gaskin, or you'd be shooting your shot on some other players to evaluate, and it's like, eh, he knows it. I don't want to teach anybody else.

Rahim Mostert is actually sneaky. Rahim Mostert, Matt Breda left with an angle injury once again. If they have any intelligence about them, they will give him the week off. They play Arizona. They're at home, and Tevin Coleman limped off the field. And Mostert, even with Tevin Coleman, without Matt Breda, would be a good pickup for me. So if you're looking at a pivot outside of the top, maybe you don't got a lot of fab to spend. To me, Mostert is sneaky. Yeah, I mean, Mostert is sneaky, but only if Boreta is.

out because, and I don't expect that to be the case. I know it's a short week coming off of the Monday night football and we'll have to pay attention. We won't know that by the time waivers go through whether or not he's out. But this is pretty much what he does every week. He's injured. He misses some practice time, gets out there on the field, gets injured, limbs off. And, you know, in this game to have Coleman hurt, Ambrieta hurt, and then you get, you know, 28 rushing yards. He looked good.

Moster always looks good. He always looks good. You know, but so does Breda, so does Coleman. You know, it's one of those things where I've got to have one of these running backs out for me to actually start Moster. I think that's good analysis and a good plan. And if you need to take a, you could take a shot for zero fab, a couple bucks, and put them on your lineup and then see what happens the rest of the week. I threw them on my lineup.

before the Monday night game because I had an open rush spot and I just figured, well, Moster gets hurt every game. I mean, burrito? Yes, I did. Yes. Anybody else we want to talk about at the running back position? Keep an eye on Wayne Goldman. Mike Goldman is the only one yet. Yeah, I mean, Barkley, we don't have any real updates, I assume. He's feeling much better. Pat Shermer said, he's feeling better. Just a flesh wound. Quote, he's fine. So I don't think, I don't think Sequin's going to be missing.

His pride may be impacted by the 13 for one. He's got to feel bad. Once again, Foot Clan, get your handcuffs, get your Alexander Madison, Tony Pollard, Gus Edwards, Rashad Penny even. Oh, gosh. I know, but if you're the Chris Carson owner. If Carson went down, yes, yes. Reikwell Armstead. That's a name. Like, he is owned in 90, in 1% of leagues.

He's out there. I mean, if Leonard Fournett were to... You might want to say his team. Yeah, I was going to say. If Leonard Fornett were to go down, Reikwell Armstead, rookie running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars, is a plug and play top 20 running back. One more name just real quick. He probably owned, yes, I get it. He's not available in your league. But just to have a peek, because we're talking about guys who might be available, the biopocalypse was a title wave.

Against a lot of teams and a lot of teams had to make a tough decision. Duke Johnson from the Houston Texans might be on your waiver wire. And this dude, five targets in three straight games. They are involving him more and more. And he is a playable running back. All right. Let's go ahead and turn to wide receivers. Some waiver wire options, pickups, opportunistic plays. You're not going to chase.

Well, we'll see. Let's see. Dedy Westbrook, let's bring him up, Devonsia Parker, and then let's talk about the San Francisco 49er situation. Let's start with Didi. D.D. is coming into a situation now with Nick Foles, but in my opinion, you're having to presume a lot here. You are. And that concerns me because I don't want to just, I don't want to project anything from the preseason on to week 11 simply because Foles, Didi, look nice in the preseason.

Here's the truth. We've not seen it in the regular season yet. So while I am fine taking a flyer on D.D. personally, DJ Chark wasn't D.J. Chark in week one of the NFL season. And Fournette's playing well. And D.D. is coming off injury. So there's a lot of flags for me. Yeah, I think D.D. should be rostered. He, you know, he's a guy that could very well break out and be good. But I'm not going to start him this week unless it's a situation where you have to. And I think that this.

that there isn't that situation. Because if you're telling me I have to start, you know, a D.D. Westbrook or a Randall Cobb, then I'm going to start the guy who's just been playing well, getting targets. You know, I would rather start Randall Cobb this week. But if I don't have to, you know, really, if I don't have to start either guy, then Diti is the type of player where he could really be something special, but you've got to wait and see with foals in tow. Mike is nodding.

But I wanted to give him the chance with his sweetie to time in. Do you pretty much agree with that assessment? I completely agree. I think that you have to pick him up, but I would try not to play him. And he was getting far more involved. It was disappointing at the beginning with Gardner. But then, I mean, before the injury happened, a game of 11 targets, eight targets, nine targets. He was starting to get in the groove with Minshu. Let's see how it can happen with Fools, though. Yeah, I mean, you basically, Jason brought it up wanting to remember.

Give a guy a chance to reestablish. Dede's going to need a chance to reestablish. I'm all over at Dibo Samuel. He's my top, actually, like, waiver wire pickup. Because Dvante Parker, yeah, you can pick him on playing. He's just here every single week. You have waiver wire fatigue with him. And him and Didi are owned in slightly more than 50% of leagues. So there's a chance they're not there. But Dibo is more than likely on your waiver wire. And he gets a massive, massive upgrade if Sanders misses.

If Sanders misses as well, just so you guys know where the depth chart is in San Francisco, Kendrick Bourne came in and stepped in, not Dante Pettus. Pettus is running as the wide receiver five right now. Didn't see a snap before Sanders left the field. Well, when we... Kendrick Boren scored and we'll be on the field. Yeah, I was going to say when we kicked Pettus off the pirate ship, I threw him a rope so he could come back, but he dropped it. Oh, man. I thought you were going to bring up, and two weeks ago, Jimmy Garoppolo had his best

game as a professional quarterback throwing four touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals, who Jimmy Garoppolo will be playing again this week. So Kendrick Bourne is in play if people are hurt. Yeah, that's a sneaky one. Devante Parker, he gets Buffalo. He was okay last week, five for 69. Nothing special, but nothing that destroyed you. Buffalo is a tough matchup. Trudevius White is. He is so freaking good. Yeah, and he dropped another interception in this game. I...

But he was there to drop it, which is step one. Darius Slayden had the monster week, 10 for 1, 21, and 2 on 14 targets, but has the buy week. Yeah. And then Chicago. Yeah. So do we just like, that stinks. Do we just hang up a picture, say thank you and just we're moving on?

Yeah. Probably. Let me ask you that. Would you drop him for Randall Cobb or Debo or Didi? Obviously, if you need a start, then you would drop him because he's on a buy. And I don't think I would rather roster the long-term prospects of Darius Slayton, meaning three weeks from now, over players that, you know, could be relevant. You'd rather stash him over Cobb? I would hold Slaten over Cobb. I'm saying if you need a start, obviously not. As far as...

Who has more upside long term? Yeah, it would be, it would be Slayton. But you've got to wait a couple weeks. Not everybody has that luxury. If I'm waiting, and obviously he's mostly taken, but I still think, and I've said this, but Parker, after this week, the schedule opens up is awesome and is going to be a great fantasy wide receiver the rest of the season. Cleveland, Philly, Jets, Giants, Cincinnati. You're not wrong. You're not wrong. I'll bring up some other names.

You tell me how interested you are. I feel like a bunch of these names are really in the wild card category. Wild cards. You know, Zach Pascal, just two for 26 last week. Seven targets. But if Jacoby Berset is back, then if Berset is back and Hilton is still out, then yeah, Pascal can be a wide receiver three.

Yeah, and then, and I do need to change that. I really like that. It's like, if this is that and this is that, then he can be mediocre. That is, that is true. That is true. James Washington had his first nice game. I'm not chasing it. I'm not chasing it. Demarius Thomas actually led the jets in receiving. They have Washington. He had nine targets. And then Oakland and then the Bengals.

And then the Dolphins. Maybe. I would actually look at Demarius because there's been multiple games. 39 targets since week five. You're blinded. Don't get blinded by Robbie. Robbie's just out there. He's just running around.

Yeah, I mean, he's just running around the field. DT has lost the step. He doesn't look fantastic, but this is the third game where he has nine targets or more. So he is in a plus matchup here. He's definitely someone you could pick up and play as much as you could pick up and play a Randall Cobb. If I'm choosing between those two guys, I feel like DT's targets are a little bit further down the field. I think I'd rather have Demarius. Would you- Over Cobb, I would agree.

Is it worth the situation of, okay, you get to brag that you won with Demarius Thomas on your roster. It's pretty nice. Or you get to cry because you lost because you started a jet named Demarius Thomas, which is better, which is worse? I'm going to take the better being the win and the worst being the loss. That's the way that. But is the pain more severe than the bragging. I think the bragging is better. Are you interested in Andy Isabella?

Not really. Three for 78 on three targets. It's wonderful to see him get involved. But the problem is, you know, and a lot of people are going to want to go after him after two big games in a row. The problem is he's got San Francisco in San Francisco. And yes, that was one of his big games, but that was one play. Yeah.

But if you want a one-play shot, if you want a guy that you, I think, should roster can play. Yes, the one-touch man himself. That's exactly. Well, it was Tyree, but now it's... This is like a Steph Curry half-court shot. Yeah. Every game. McColl Hardman is awesome. He's so stinking fast. Kansas City quarterbacks have a 154.1 quarterback rating when targeting Hardman, which 158.3 is perfect. That's such a...

dumb stat. That's so stupid. Because he doesn't, he got one target. I mean, that's the stat that matters. You either hit or you goose. But the thing is, sorry, it's really bizarre that, I mean, he was a focal point of this offense. He was playing on a huge amount of snaps week one, 78% of the snaps. Week two, 73. And then he was sitting in the 60s. And.

Now he can't even get on the field. Well, a lot of that, I mean, when was Tyree Kill gone? It was week one, but it still is very strange. Right now, I mean, you look at his snap percentages, the last three games, Tyree Kill's back 15%, 19%, 22%. That's that's garbage. That's not what I want for fantasy. But over those games, you still have good fantasy outputs because amazingly, he can get a touchdown on any play.

because he's faster than people. So he's one of these guys where, okay, there's at least upside. I know that it's risky. I mean, two of his games this year have been negative. But he has upside, and then he has that built-in. You know, we talked about Dallas Godder at tight-end. He always has the same upside as all these, you know, garbage tight-ins. But he has the built-in handcuff of should Tyreek go down, which we had a scare this last week, then all of a sudden Hardman becomes a...

you know, a great pickup and you already have him. Yeah, he's attached to Patrick Mahomes. You can always take your shot and end up like this past week. So compare him to Demaris Thomas, who's going to clearly get more targets, be more involved, and have a much higher floor. Would you, you know, if both those guys are out there and you need to start this week? Thomas. You'd pick up and play Thomas? Yeah, I mean, it's just a matter of most situations it would be Thomas for me if I was needing.

Mondo upside. Maybe I take the shot, but one target does not get me excited. No, I get it. You were bemoaning starting McCle Hartman in one of our leagues all game long. Then one play, one play, he's awesome. He's awesome. He's the drag racer. All right, tight ends. Look at Gerald Everett this week. They have Chicago, eight for 68 last week, 12 targets, no Brandon Cooks, and Chicago on the outside receivers.
