Week 12 Waivers & QB Streamers, Machine Gun Mike

Joe Flacco chance he returns in week 12. Yeah. But not expected back. I don't think you probably play Lamar Jackson if you expected Flacco back right away. That's what my view would be. I think if you were trying to bridge for a week, you might have played RG3. I think they're probably planning on Lamar Jackson for another week. I'm with you. You understand what I'm saying? Yes. I think Lamar starts again and Lamar will be a fine quarterback stream again.

Marcus Mariotto suffered a stinger in week 11. He's not in the concussion protocol. They're hopeful he'll be back to play Monday night. This is more related to can you trust a like pass catching option or ancillary piece against the Texans? No. I mean, that's a bad match of bench them all. And the redskins have signed Mark Sanchez. That'll be fun. Mark Sanchez. A little Christmas gift for Mark. Welcome back. Yeah.

Yeah, and, you know, Colt McCoy runs around a little bit. You could see Mark Sanchez. Oh, don't put that on the world. No. You know, it might be entertaining. It might be fun. Are you ready for Mark Sanchez to win the NFC East? Is that what I... Oh, what a world we live in. What a time to be alive. And then upset, you know, like the Rams in the first round. Oh. Stop it. Just stop. Okay, let's talk waivers instead. Put me in, coach.

Mark Sanchez is obviously the big pickup here in the waiver. Yeah. Okay. Chiefs and Rams, they get a week off. They deserve it. They scored two weeks worth of points last night. So no Rams and Chiefs in week 12. But other than that, which may make up about half your roster, there aren't any other by weeks the remainder of the season. Let's start at the wide receiver position looking at the waiver wire. Big pickups this week. Who are your favorites?

Well, we talked about him a second ago, but my two favorite pickups are Josh Reynolds and Cortland Sutton. Those are the two guys right now. Corlin Sutton's taken in a lot of leagues. Well, we talked about this the last like three weeks running. His schedule was really bad after DT was traded. But from this point onward, it is unbelievably great, not a single bad matchup. I think he's going to have a great rest of the way.

And Josh Reynolds to me is a must-start type of player. I think when you are on the field for, you know, 89% of the snaps for a team that is passing the ball as well as the Rams are, we don't know what's going on with Gurley. I mean, it's not always going to be as fruitful as Kansas City. The matchup won't be that good. But if you throw a guy like that out there.

in your flex and you're and you're wondering, you know, you've got the flip a coin type of guys. His probability of having a touchdown even in a bad game is higher than, you know, having to throw out a player from the Cardinals or a player from the Jets, you know. Reminder just real quick, Jay, he is on by this week. Yeah. So you mean, you're picking him up to stash him for two weeks. Yes. I mean, it obviously is your favorite. To be a counterbalance, can I be the counterbalance though? Please.

The counterbalance to me is this game, obviously Kansas City was a piece of the puzzle. Todd Gurley being banged up and then barely turning the running game as a piece of the puzzle. I look at Josh Reynolds as an absolute look. I understand picking him up. I understand the offense. I understand all those, the snaps. But there are similarities here between him and Marquez Valdez Scantley in the sense that not the number one option, okay? Could get lost in the shuffle depending on the game plan.

Gerald Everett obviously had a big role. Tyler Higby caught a bunch of passes. Brandon Cook's left for a little while. I think you can get a great game out of Josh Reynolds. I don't think he's an auto flex. That's just what my... I think he's pretty close. Unless you consider, you know, MBS is out there for every snap. And he had a dud of a game. Oh, I would still pick up. Yeah, there was as well. I don't think anyone in this wide receiver list is a... Well, I'd much rather have Corlin Sutton. And I'd much rather have Taylor Gabriel.

I would really. We haven't even hit the name that is my number one guy of the week. It's Trequan Smith. And DJ Moore. Yeah, those two are big pickups. Trey Kwan for the New Orleans Saints, I think this was the breakout game for him. 10 for 157. He scored. He had 13 targets. I mean, he was an absolute target hog this past week. And the schedule for him is pretty delightful with Atlanta.

Dallas, Tampa Bay are his next three matchups. Trequan's my number one waiver, or number one wide receiver pickup of the week. He's probably better to talk about than Sutton or DJ Moore. He's far less owned than both of them because he had that gooser. We talked about both DJ Moore and Trequan Smith on the show yesterday. Rookie production goes up in the second half of the season. I would take, yeah, I would take Trequan over Reynolds. Sutton's probably owned.

in your league. Yeah. The likelihood of him being owned is pretty high. Sure. And then there's guys like Kiki. He had a very solid game, got nine targets, five for 77. Well, Demarius Thomas did nothing. Correct. And I don't expect Demarius to do nothing, but I thought the trade was very strange for Houston. It seemed like a panic move with Will Fuller being out and you're fighting for division.

You brought in a wide receiver you thought could help. And Anthony Miller, of course, is surging. He didn't do a ton this past week, but the Chicago Bears offense as a whole didn't really need to do anything. They were manhandling the Vikings. So all these guys are interesting. And I would go, like I said, Smith is my number one guy. Number two, I would pick up. It would be Sutton if he's there. Otherwise, it would be DJ more. And maybe I'm misremembering, but.

Didn't you say yesterday you preferred more to Treyquan Smith on the show? Perhaps. Perhaps I said that on the show, but after time and digging anything more, I like Treykwan more. Well, Treykwan does have the Thanksgiving matchup against Atlanta that is going to be great. I mean, whenever you can have one of those awesome high-scoring matchups and it's on Thursday.

gives you, you know, the advantage of knowing, are you up? Do you have the lead? Can I play it safe through the rest? And Trey Kwan's a type of player, very boom-bust, where if he has a bad game and it doesn't go his way, then you know you need to swing for the fences elsewhere.

Who would you start on Thanksgiving? Taylor Gabriel or Anthony Miller? Taylor Gabriel had three times as many targets, but Miller is scoring. He scored five times in eight games. Do you want the volume of Taylor Gabriel or do you want the touchdowns? Anthony Miller. We've seen the volume from Taylor Gabriel hit like this in certain matches before. A couple guys for the rest of season, by the way, as well. Yeah. I would rather have Anthony Miller. I'd rather have Anthony Miller. A couple guys just real quick, say you're in a super pinch, or getting super pinched.

I guess. Okay. Yeah. But are you interested? It's your department. The pinching? I don't know. It's not my department. So I figured it's got to be yours. Bruce Ellington, who is now on the Detroit lines if you haven't been paying attention. He came in and immediately made an impact. Nine targets was six for 52. I don't think any of us expect Marvin Jones to play on Thursday. And with Golden Tate vacating that slot roll, Bruce Ellington, he's got juice.

I mean, I don't think he's as interesting as the other wide receivers we talked about. But if you're in a deeper league, Bruce Ellington, are you interested? Yeah, I'm interested in the sense that Golden Tate left a hole that was not filled by anyone. And they went out and they signed Bruce Ellington. Who is a good player? He's always been a favorite of reception perception. He hasn't been able to stay helping. But if he's on the field, he's a good player and the opportunity will be there. I don't love the matchup, though, this week against Chicago.

I don't really think the opportunity is going to be there for him. You don't? No, because if Marvin Jones comes back, I mean, Marvin Jones being off the field was a huge gaping hole in the situation. Sure, but do you expect Marvin this week? I do. I think Marvin's going to play on Thursday. But I don't know for sure. Most platforms are projecting him to play right now, but we'll see. Let's live in the world right now where Marvin Jones is out and you've got to make a waiver-wire decision. Would you rather pick up Bruce Ellington, Trey Quinn,

or John Ross? So tomorrow not knowing about Marvin Jones? Correct. And that's what you're going to have to do. Yeah, I mean, it's not, it's going to be, I guess it'll be John Ross in that situation. But you're banking on no green in that situation. You're banking on no Marvin Jones. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, Ellington's done this before. I mean, you're not going to get a score from him.

Maybe you get three catches. Maybe you get four or five. It's what you need. If that's what you want. You got six last week. Yeah. I mean, but if Marvin's back, what are you going to get from him? I don't have high expectations for him coming into that offense being the third or fourth option. Okay. But maybe if Carry on misses, Marvin misses, then it's law of, you know. Someone's got to catch the ball. Someone has to catch the ball. Are you interesting? Chris Conley, seven per 74, two touchdowns last night. Sammy Watkins. Sammy Watkins started.

because he made a bet somewhere that he could start the game. I mean, this was, he was like limping onto the field to start the game. It was like, wait, why are you playing? Does he have like a contract incentive for game started? I'm not even joking. Like it was... He's pulled a Cow Ripkin. I mean, his first play, he looked like he was just limping up the sideline, and then he was gone. He played five snaps. So if you started him... Yeah, the thing is with the foot, if he's re-injured the foot... He plays 7% of the steps. Well, see, I don't think he re-injured it.

Because he was limping on the way out to the field. They said he was limping in warm-up. So I was like... 7%. Why are you wasting an active roster spot on him? Yeah. He made a bet. He bet Andy Reid. He's like, watch this.

Yeah, if it turns out that it's anything serious, if it comes out this week, and we won't know anything this week because they're on by, they don't have to put out their injury status this week. So unfortunately you won't know, but Chris Conley is someone you need to monitor. If Watkins is out, you know, getting a piece of that offense is never a bad idea.
