Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 15 Waivers, Streams, Bad Beats + Close Wins

However, the reports, you know, Kenneth Farrow is the guy. We'll talk about him. They didn't like his past protection, though. Well, yeah, neither did Phil Rivers. Lack there up. But there's the talk that Kenneth Farrow and Ronnie Hillman will platoon. I would still expect Kenneth Farrow to be the... Is there a chance that Ronnie Hillman actually plays for every franchise this year? We're working on it. Working on it. Where are we out now? Darren Sprouls is in concussion protocol.

And Wendell Smallwood's on the IR. Okay. It's time. Can we believe in Ryan Matthews again? Barner. Barner. Yeah, probably. But no, it does look like Ryan Matthews is a legitimate play this week. If things continue as they're trending. Vance McDonald on the IR. Hey, look, Vance McDonald, sometimes things, sometimes good things happen. Vance McDonald gets the cheddar gets. Gets.

gets the cheese. Five years, $35 million. Next day goes out to the IR, but tip of the cap to you, Vance McDonald, for getting paid. Oh, speaking of paid, I believe it's the Ramso, Jeff Fisher, like $14 million. So for those two are like, what? Poor guy. I got laid up. Hey, they'll take a layoff with $14 million. You were saying yesterday. He's going to be just fine. Yeah, back to Montana. He goes.

He's going to buy Montana, actually, for $14 million. It doesn't cause that much, Mike. This guy may have a smaller paycheck next year. Michael Floyd was arrested on a DUI charge. And keep in mind, this is his second. In college, he was arrested on a DUI, got suspended indefinitely.

and was an issue coming into the NFL. Obviously, he's struggled this season. He's had a battle with alcohol problems. So going forward, certainly does not help his case. You could probably see the Cardinals, you know, kind of keeping him away from team activities. That hasn't been made official, but I could see that happening. And then, yeah, next year, if you're talking Dynasty as Michael Floyd's in a contract year, certainly not the great offseason signing.

He'll still get picked up. Oh, he will. For sure. Mohamed Sunu got paid. What do you read into about this Adrian Peterson News? He plans to practice this week, hopes to play in week 16 against the Packers. His quote said, my plan and my vision is to be back for the Green Bay game. But then he said, of course, the perfect scenarios we went out and I'm able to rest up for three weeks and be ready for the playoffs. I hope if I'm in the fantasy championship, I hope my opponent.

picks up Adrian Peterson and says this one's for the, this is the glory play, this is for all the marbles, and they play Adrian Peterson, and he will give them very little production. Okay. Is that your take two, Jason? I got no faith. It is. I think that he'll get 30 carries, so he should have about 45 years. So you think he plays? If, well, I'm saying if he were to be active in week 16, my honest guess is that.

They are not, I mean, the way things are trending right now with Green Bay, I wouldn't doubt if that last week game is already irrelevant, in which case he doesn't play this season. AJ Green, expected to practice on Wednesday. Very Christmas. Yeah, that's a big one. I mean, if he's back at practice. That's Wednesday. Yes, exactly. A Wednesday practice, normally, you know, veterans get those off. They're saying he's, you know, hopefully ready to go. So if he doesn't have a setback.

uh tomorrow if he's practicing the rest of this week i think you can have confidence to put him out there that would be pretty i would love pretty great for a j green for owners who thought they weren't they were going to be without him a lot of teams have no a j green no alshan jeffrey if you could make it through last week's playoff matchup you might get uh some strength back on your team all right let's talk about some waivers put me in coach let's start with the afore mentioned alshan jeffrey because he's in our waiver wire list here owned in

About 60% of leagues in ESPN, about 70% in Yahoo, was suspended. Now he's going to be back. Green Bay, Washington, Minnesota to finish out the year. What can you expect from the Barclay-Geoffrey connection? Barclay's been okay. He's not completely falling on his face. To me, Al-Shan-Jeffrey will play. Al-Shan Jeffrey is playing for Kish right now if you...

Do not recall his contract situation. He is finishing out a franchise contract. So he is playing for next year. You think, well, the bear has got nothing. Alshan certainly has something to play for right now. So I would be confident playing him against Green Bay.

Yeah, this is where the contract does make a difference because he needs the ball. I would love to hear him be a little bit of a squeaky wheel right now. My worry is just, you know, basically what we've seen with Brandon Marshall having Bryce Petty come in and throw to the backup. You know, these third string guys very often, they avoid the other team's number one corner.

and they don't go to that stud. And so that's my fear. I would certainly pick him up. And, you know, if you don't have good options, I'm always going to be willing to throw out Alshan Jeffrey, a guy that can get down the field, make big catches. We saw some valuable receivers from the Bears this past week with Matt Barclay. So he's worth a pickup, but he is very risky, I think, with Barclay. All right. Let's talk about a couple guys around the 50% ownership mark, Taylor, Gabriel, Malcolm Mitchell.

I'm really impressed with Malcolm Mitchell last night. Has Denver in Denver next week? That's unfortunate. I mean, I don't think you can start him in any circumstance. No, you don't start. I certainly am not starting Malcolm Mitchell against Denver. Taylor Gabriel does have San Francisco though. Yeah, you can start you can start him. Speaking of the, we might be getting ahead of ourselves here, but Julio Jones, we don't know what his status is, but.

The Atlanta Falcons are preparing for the playoffs. Do you think they rush Julio Jones back against San Francisco? They don't need him for San Francisco. And that's exactly what I mean. Yeah. Taylor Gabriel, I think... I mean, preparing for the playoffs, I don't look at it that way. I think they're trying to get in the playoffs. They're tied atop the division. Right. Fair. I mean, this is... Would you say they need Julio at full health to make the playoffs? Maybe.

I agree with that. And from a team point, you know, I would, Julio, I still think Julio will probably play this game. But I feel like they should and might limit him a little bit. Taylor Gabriel, to me, would be someone I would pick up and be willing to play this week. He's had enough.

fantasy relevant games, even with Julio, where if Julio's active, I'm not scared away, especially against a matchup against San Francisco. Where Taylor Gabriel's really made his hay is just with the ball in his hands being able to burn by defenders. And if there are defenders, you're able to burn by, they are located on that San Francisco team. So Taylor Gabriel, I'm fine playing him this week. He would probably be my, probably my second.

second or third waiver-wire pickup priority? Who would your number one be? I think, and I feel ashamed to say this, but I think my number one waiver priority, talk some sense into me, if you think I'm way off base, would be Robbie Anderson. Oh, I mean, I'm going to take a guy that's getting double-digit targets. Say the vomit sound doesn't mean you're wrong. It just means I vomit at that.

Yeah, I mean, what do you think? I grab Gabriel if he was there, but you know, you're talking 50-50 ownership. So Gabriel will be my number one because of the San Francisco matchup. All things being equal would be Mitchell, but I can't play for next week. I got to play for this week. So Gabriel would be my one. Probably Jeffrey two. Oh, I was taking Jeffrey off the list. He would definitely be my one.

Yeah, you know, Anderson, six for 99, another 11 targets. So it's tough to argue with that. He's available in basically every league. So if you need to take a flyer on him and you've got fab to spend. Yeah, and if you're in a PPR, I mean, he's just getting so many targets. I mean, you can't, you don't usually find guys on the waiver wires who back-to-back weeks are, you know, the number one wide receiver on their team getting double-digit targets. And Ty Montgomery, the.

The crisis, the situation of Ty Montgomery has been put to rest. Coach Mike McCarthy said, Ty Montgomery is a running back. I should have said this weeks ago. He hasn't been to a wide receiver meeting in weeks. I think he said months. Was it months? Yeah. So NFL.com has officially said that Montgomery can be played as a running back. I think that he is back to being the main guy. James Starks has been.

putrid lately and christin michael's just the backup and time montgomery i mean 12 touches he had over he had 86 yards and a touchdown i just think that he is back to that when we had that little spurt of time montgomery is super useful i think we're

I think we're probably back to that. I agree with that. When I said that Taylor Gabriel might be my second or third, the guy that I was putting in there was Ty Montgomery as my number two pickup. Because of that flexibility, be able to play him in running back, because of the clarity. He was so good for fantasy when there was that crisis in the running back. But James Starks came back. They signed Kristen Michael, and so then there was that muddled area where you're not sure Ty's even going to be used in the game. Well, now I think the clarity has come where he is their starting running back.

And he is their best running back. Mark East Lee, Donchall, Inman. Those are other names for the list. I think those are fine pickups. And if you're in a desperate situation, you need a wide receiver three. I think both those guys are playable. All right.
