I'd be excited about some tight-in opportunities against them. Gerald Everett, to me, probably owned, but worth looking at along with Greg Olson. Eric Ebron, Squeaky Wheel got 12 targets. Yeah. Too bad he caught five of them. Yeah. Well, again, this is a similar situation to Zach Pascal. The Brian Hoyer targets were not good targets. Well, the problem was he was the squeaky wheel, so he got the grease, but he missed the part of that. He put the grease on his hands where you don't wash your hands afterwards. Dummy.

Inside the episode
128 passagesYeah. They gave him the grease and he's like, no, I'm leaving it on. This is the stuff? Is this how I get the ball? It felt. All right. Is this stick him? Cool. It felt like Brian Hoyer had like one of those old school Bluetooth headsets in and the coach would be like, Thor to Ebron. Because he looked like he forced him the ball all game long. I would still stay with him. Maybe that was the chance. And then at the end of the Reich's like, see?
This is why we're not throwing you the ball, dummy. Oh, it's on purpose? Yeah. That loss is on you, Eric. Sent him a bunch of gifts of the drops. All right. Main waiver wire pickups, though, guys that are far less owned. You're talking about Jack Doyle, who's three for 44 and one on four targets. Okay. He ran 21 past routes. Ebron run 33. When we knew that they were missing Paris Campbell and T.Y. Hilton.
To me, the tight ends were where the ball was going to go. It wasn't going to be, I don't think Pascal's got the opportunity to take over a ball game. I don't think Chester Rogers is your savior. So if both those guys are out, I'm still interested in Doyle and Ebron myself. I agree. I'm interested in them. I, I'm not chasing O.J. Howard. No, I'm not either. He was my start of the week that was based on Arizona. The defense, as Bruce Ariens would say, the defense dictated that the ball would go to O.J. Howard.
And now I am out. The Saints, their matchup this week is a top 10 fantasy defense against tight ends. Yeah, you could say goodbye. If you're really playing someone, like if you're picking someone up and you're playing them, I hate the matchup, but it's against the Patriots, but Dallas Goddard is still interesting. I agree with you. What is, what is the, what are the Patriots known for doing?
I mean, they've done it the entire Bill Belichick era. Making you sad when you start people against them? They're known for several things. But primarily the one I was searching for here was they always take away your number one option. You have to get beaten. You have to beat the Patriots with your number two or your number three option. And if they look at shutting Zach Ertz down, Goddard could be the beneficiary here. And it's one of those things where it's like, okay, maybe he doesn't have.
as good a game as Luke Stalker, maybe. But he very well might. But there's no upside to rostering someone like that. So I don't know if there's a lot of upside to Goddard against New England. No, I'm saying the upside is a Zachert's injury says that Goddard becomes an absolute top tight end rest of the way versus.
I'd rather just play Darren Fells this week. I'm fine with that. I'm fine playing Darren Fells every week. He's tied with Austin Hooper most touchdowns, and he's probably out there because of the buy week. Yeah, he's available in the majority of leagues. One for one and won the last time he played. That's very McCull-Hardman. Are you going back to Gisicki, Mike? I mean, he was on the field. He was running routes. He had a couple seam targets.
It's not like Preston Williams is coming back this week. And the matchups, okay. Buffalo? I don't want to do it. Okay. Well, I don't want to, the problem I have is I don't want to get into main waiver wire pickups for tight ends. And then we just rotate five shot names and forget the shot names from the week before because Jason said it before. The nature of tight ends is inconsistency.
So if we throw away everybody the week they're inconsistent, you never get them to return to their mean. It was still six targets. I mean, Gisicki or Noah Fant? Gisicki. Noah Fant has, he's been on the field getting the targets enough. He had his finally had his breakout game. I realize, you know, most of that was, you know, gigantic play, but, you know. He does play more than Kassiki.
Yeah, and Minnesota, while they've been, you know, always seen as this great defense, they're very middle of the pack right now. And specifically against tight end, they're 16th. So they're dead middle. And, you know, that's what. Dead middle? Dead middle is that, that's acceptable. I'll allow that. Definitely new. Yeah. That's fine. They are dead tops. But I think we're, I don't want to bury, like, the most important factor here that I'm looking at when I'm taking a shot.
is I want opportunity, right? You don't want to rely on one single play. You don't want to be Kyle Rudolph. Well, that kind of is what Darren Fels is. Darren Fells has scored a lot, but he's been involved. He's been involved in the offense. I mean, I think anybody watching Houston has looked at them and said, you know, this is a piece of what he's using to move the ball down the field. But, you know, Gerald Everett.
Near the top of the league in targets. Yeah, Gerald Everett would be the guy to pick up. Hawkinson is near the top of the league in Titan targets. Everett would be the guy I would want the most. He's just probably owned. I do think, and I know the matchup isn't great against New England, but I say Dallas Goddard would be my number two. Because like you said, you want a guy that's involved. He's averaging over the last four weeks five and a half targets a game, which for tight ends is. That's pretty nice. Pretty good. Jared Cook last week comes back six for 74.
gets Tampa. Are you looking Jared Cook's way? Yes. Yeah, I'm interested. If he's available. Yeah, I mean. I'm interested. I'm pretty intrigued. Yeah. Okay. Let's move on to quarterback streamers. Full stream ahead. I feel like talking about tight-ins was like super not helpful. I feel like that was we were at the like, um, like they put all the food from the grocery store that's expired out and you go walk through it and then you're like,
I'm going to take a few of these things home and you just kind of hope they hope they're still good. Yeah. I mean, here's the summation, right? If you've got Eric Ebronn or Gerald Everett out there on your waivers, grab them first. If not, go for a touchdown upside with fells or targets with someone like Jack Doyle.
Dallas Goddard or Jared Cook above those guys. All right. Streaming quarterback options. I really like both of yours more than I do mine. So you start. Great. Okay. And I'll go Jimmy Garampolo. He's at home. He could have limitations in the running game. And he's facing the 32nd ranked past defense, which is Arizona, which he just torched two weeks ago for his greatest fantasy performance.
Am I excited about the, you know, hopefully he has kiddleback. Hopefully he has Sanders back. But either way, I can't see him walking away from that game without two passing touchdown. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard to play Arizona and not throw touchdowns. It's just part of what they do. It's really been difficult for that, any quarterback to be able to throw for less than two touchdowns.
So I like that. I expect Emmanuel Sanders back. I don't know about Kittle yet, a little too early to tell, but I like Jimmy G. For me, look, their car is a great play. He's been playing very well this year. He's had his ups and downs for fantasy because he doesn't always have the great weapons. He is a streaming guy where when you've got the right matchup, he's performed well. Well, guess what? You got the right matchup. Cincinnati, the Raiders have the highest.
Team total implied points from Vegas this week. They're the team expected to score the most. Obviously, everything starts at the quarterback. And Cincinnati has given up the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks over the last month. The most yards per play, Cincinnati gets no pressure on the quarterback, which is perfect for what Derek Carr likes to do. When he can stand in the pocket, survey the field, get it to the Walleris, get it to Tyrol Williams. Derek Carr's a very good play. All right, I'm jumping in here. I'm taking Kyle.
Allen, I'm taking Kyle Allen against the Atlanta Falcons. I'm not buying into. Wait, what? Oh, I figured that was Kyle Stallion. No? Not this week on the stream? I'm not recycling the nickname. Come on. I mean, it's an excellent drive. But now? I thought you'd put the pieces together faster. But here's the thing. If you're watching on the YouTube, you're going to see.
I'm going with Kyle Allen and then Josh Allen's going to jump under the screen. That's true. Very confusing. I'm sorry. I'm not buying into it. Brooks, can you CGI that? Just put Kyle Allen's face. Please. I'm not buying into what happened with the Falcons against the Saints as something that's going to continue to happen. That was off the buy. It's in Carolina. The Falcons have given up six QB1 performances. They bleed fantasy points. I like a bounce back for.
Kyle Allen here. No Super Bowl run for Atlanta? Oh, no. No. Okay. 2032. Yep. Moving on. Defense versus offense. Presented by head and shoulders and Walmart. All right. Defensive streaming options. I'm actually going to go with, and again, your league's probably, depending on how competitive it is. They're starting to pile on some defenses to benches. Streaming is very difficult.
streaming your defense right now because they're very highly owned. Yeah, and I don't love a lot of the streaming options this week. So I'm going to go with Jacksonville. They're coming off the buy week. They're facing Indianapolis. You're either going to have Jacoby Brousset returning from injury or Brian Hoyer doing Brian Hoyer things. And Jacksonville heading into the buy actually.
Surprisingly, once again, Jason, let's validate your losing Jaylon Ramsey playing well on defense, losing your best player playing well the next week. They sacked Darnold eight times. They dominated Cincinnati. They held Houston to 26 points, which I consider to be a pretty good showing against Deshaun Watson. So I'll take Jacksonville against Indy. I think it's a play that is very safe. I don't think you're going to get blown out by Indianapolis.
So I am going to throw two names out there, one that I think is just a smash play this week. And the other one better not be my team. Let me see. It is not. I'm going to throw mine and mics out there for you. No, look, Oakland, all the rationale I gave for playing Derek Carr is the same rationale for playing all of your Raiders. Play them, including the defense, because I present you Ryan Finley.
Ryan, I present you. Ryan, Baltimore head, just there to DST scores. Am I remembering that correct? You are remembering it correct. Yes. Excellent. Yeah. It was, it was really nice. Ryan Finley has been offered up as sacrifice to the Raiders. And Oakland plays great at home. This is. We, Tyler Boyd might even be, you know, we don't know his status. Yeah. I mean, Ryan Finley, who do you think he completes the ball two more?
I thought you were going to say, who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? The Bengals or the Raiders? You know what I mean? It's a defense that's getting better right now. Oakland's playing pretty well. Yeah, they were playing well. The other name I want to throw out. And the reason I want to throw it out is because we've been talking about two chances to be right. No, it's because we've been talking about the wires are slim pickings right now. And you need to be looking two weeks out.
So it's almost like right now we should be saying here's our defense that we pick up and play this week. But here's a defense to pick up in preparation of the next week. And that's the Browns. Who you can play this week? The Browns against Pittsburgh, that's not a scary matchup. But next week they've got Miami. So I think the Browns are a fine defense for a couple of weeks. And then the week after that, they're back to Pittsburgh. The week after that, the Bengals, the week after that, the Cardinals.
The Browns are one of those stretch run defenses as they get a little healthier. All right. I am doubling up as you did, Jamie. You went Derek Carr and Oakland. I am going Kyle Allen and I will take his defense. Oh, excellent. I was so open you did that. It's something you would have done if you were sitting here. I will take the Josh Allen led defense apparently. Yeah. But Carolina against Atlanta. Actually, I did that.
I took the Josh Allen lead defense Jacksonville. Oh, very nice. That would have worked, right? Yeah, it would have. Five times they've given up a top 12 defense, speaking to the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Ryan has taken sacks. Matt Ryan is throwing interceptions. So it's interesting because you are just speaking, you're not, you're basically throwing last week out with Atlanta's big performance. Yes, I am. Because if you didn't, you know, you'd be worried about.
