Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 17 Waivers, Streams, #FootClanTitles!

He catches touchdowns, and he gets hurt. That's his routine. Yeah, it seems to be. D-Jax is day-to-day with a jaw injury? Was that too much trash talk? Is that what that? No, he got blown up in the game. I mean, he was knocked out for a while with the jaw. He managed to come back in. Such a tough guy. Week 17, will they play? Chuck Pagano said that he will not rest any of their starters in the meaningless week 17 game against the Jags, so they'll all be out on the field. It's good to hear.

Lev Bell, Big Ben, they're going to rest. Yeah. That does not surprise me. This is why you don't play. If you made it to your championship game with Lev Bell, I mean, it's kind of, I'm not doing anybody any favors. Because if you're in a week 17 title game, I'm just harping on the fact that I don't like your league format, and that doesn't help you. So, but change your league format. But Love Bell's not going to play. So there you go. You're going to have to grab a backup. That's the expectation, at least right now.

And who, I wonder if is D. Will going to be active? I don't, I don't think so. We're going to get that Fitzgerald Toussaint action? I believe that's going to be your play here is Fitzgerald Touss. If he is the starter? He's a great pick up. You better pick him up. Adam Gase hinted that he was unlikely to rest starters against the Patriots. No, I can't imagine that they would. I feel like that game actually has meaning for both teams as far as placement. You know.

For the Patriots, they get the number one seat if they win. For the Dolphins, there's a chance that they could move up to the five seed and play against the Texans. So I think that is actually an important game. I don't think any starter will be rested unless it's a blowout. And it's, I mean, it's Matt Moore in his third start. Is that correct? Yeah. So, I mean, you've got to get him reps. And you got to get him reps with his players. Yeah, there's nobody on that team that just, like, qualifies for that auto sit, even, you know, JHIE or.

You know, Devonty Parker's not going to sit. I might sit because of the injury. Yeah, I'm curious about that one. All right. The Giants have it clinched. There's thoughts that they may rest some of their starters in week 17. We'll keep you updated. But they're locked into the number five seed no matter what happens on Sunday. So that's one of those positions where that's Merry Christmas to Washington. Who needs to win to get in? And the Giants might be resting people. All right. Bill O'Brien, that might change my stream of the week.

Bill O'Brien said that the team will play to win in Week 17 was noncommittal about Lamar Miller. I can't imagine playing Week 17 Lamar Miller because if you're Bill O'Brien or a fantasy owner. Right. If you're Bill O'Brien, that's foolish. You're going to the playoffs. Give this guy another week of rest. You know that come week one in the playoffs, he's going to get the ball over and over and over if he's out there and healthy. This doesn't make sense. Yeah, I definitely think Alfred Blue needs to be picked up.

Alfred Blue could have 40 carries in Week 17. That's not even a joke. It's not a joke. Jerry Jones. It wasn't funny, so we all knew it. Calm down. Jerry Jones said playing Tony Romo in Week 17 is not worth the risk. He probably meant that about five different ways. Right. I was going to say it's not worth the risk of him playing well. That's the risk there trying to avoid. People love storylines, don't they? Yes. Stories are life.

Yeah, it's just funny because, I mean, it's, okay, so let's see he comes in and he throws some good passes in week 17 in a meaningless game. It doesn't mean anything, but all the, all the beat reporters are going to go and ask him, well, after this performance, are you going to, they will. It's just stupid. They, but they will. And that's why that's why deck plays the whole game. They think that's good reporting. You guys want to talk about some week 17 waivers. Let's do it.

Put me in, coach. It's a solid just do it. Or let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. All right. Week 17 waiver wire pickups because we should. Adam Thielen. You're right. Because of course. He's only 25% owned. Jason. Solo performance. Adam Thielen.

12 for 2 my kids my kids got a karaoke machine sorry brief brief aside they got a karaoke machine and they were spending the night at their grandparents so last night I hooked it up for them and you know that my wife and I had to test that machine out of course and I found out I'm a really bad singer because I could hear myself wait you did yes I found that out yeah sorry I thought like can my kids spend the night at your grandparents sure I'm sure they could

My kid's grandparents are karaoke party. That sounds really cool. Mark East Lee, Robert Woods, Wolf Keller. Adam Thielen gets to take on Chicago. Everyone in this list are guys who you're picking them up because you're thinking about playing them this week. Just want to reiterate that fact. So I guess the question is, do any of these players deserve keeper waiver signings for the sake of holding them over?

Keeper? I mean, no. I don't think so. I mean, dynasty-wise, hopefully, you know. That's a completely different beast. Yeah, Dynasty, probably all these guys are already owned. The only, like, even potential would be maybe a Terrell prior. But who is, because maybe he was very owned. Right. Sure. So, I mean, you're probably not getting a pickup here unless it's a Keenan Allen or someone like that worth mentioning again.

before the year is over. Right, but Adam Thielen gets a tick on Chicago. They've been getting torch lately. Marquise Lee, they're not going to rest their starters in the Colts, but that's okay because they're not playing any starters in the secondary anymore these days. Marquise Lee could have a great game. And I think that Fuller is interesting against the Titans. The Titans secondary has just been atrocious. You watched possibly the worst quarterback in the league.

Blake Bortles look like a top caliber elite quarterback against Tennessee. So he's at least interesting. And Tennessee is not going to get up for this game. After Tennessee's hopes and dreams are crushed and Mario is out. This is not going to be a game where you see Tennessee come and just show their muster, you know? They're going to get down for this game. Hey, before we get you got to get up to get down, man.

That's what I've heard. I've never done it at you. How was your white Christmas season? Oh, the dance moves are great.

You got to go commemorate that with a signed jersey, a signed helmet, a signed canvas. I mean, pristine auction is an amazing place. I took a look this morning at some of the top performers this week to see, do they have things available on pristine auction? Aaron Rogers did. Russell Wilson did. David Johnson did.

Jordan Nelson did. All these guys, man, you love your Levi-on-Bels or your J. Ajais. Some Des Bryant say thank you for last night. It's amazing to just check it out. And sometimes, I mean, I found this sweet. Like, I loved this black mat helmet from David Johnson. Want to get it. There are just such a wide variety of amazing things there that are true showpieces. They aren't what you usually find when you go into someone's house or when you go into their, you know, their.

cool little video game room deck your place out with this amazing stuff and you won't believe how cheap some of this stuff is i saw a signed jersey of one of the top performing players this week for 45 bucks so i mean the range is incredible you got to go check them out it's pristine auction dot com p r i s t i n e auction dot com and make sure you when you sign up you let them know that you found them through the footballers uh this morning i i woke to an email from a listener

that said his wife forbid him from buying a Foot Clan title T-shirt because it was too in your face. It was too braggar. Braggadocious? Braggadocious. What? So he asked me to add a coffee cup so he could remember his title every morning. So I did. What good is winning if you can't let people know that you've won?

You are of all the things that you are passionate about, Mike, rubbing it in is maybe atop your list. Yeah, that's got to be top three for him. You got to win big. Rubbing it in, appearing homeless. Those are the only two. Hey, I've cleaned up today. I did see. I have a 2017 fresh cut. The people, when they go down to the slot machines and they win the big jackpot, they put them all over billboards.

Because winning is the best. You don't play slots against 11 other people. Yeah, but you won. When you've won't it slots, do you run down the row of slots? I want it. I want it. I want it. Yeah. Eat it. All right. Running back. These names are great. The running back waiver wire. Running back is at least very interesting this week. Look, if you need a start, Jaquiz Rogers. Dequiz Rogers against New Orleans. Alex Collins should be starting.

against San Francisco for Seattle and getting the Rock a ton if Rawls misses that game. You have the situation now with the MCL tear for Carlos Hyde with Sean Drone and DeWan Harris. Is it big salad time? Yeah, I think Mike and I, so Mike, you did a bunch of research yesterday. I looked into this. I am of the belief that it will be DeWan Harris as the one taking over because that's what we saw when Carlos Hyde went down last time. But you've seen some different. Well, Drone was beat up.

when that happened. And we saw last week, once Hyde went down, Dron was the guy who got the carries. And so just he's healthy. He's great. Do you expect a big Russian game from Sean Dron? No, you got 10 for 17. But he's the big salad. He's the fantasy vegetable for a reason because six for 48 through the air. That's what he does. He gets you yardage. And he's, I think he's a fine play. I think because of. Took a whole year before we ate a salad.

Sounds like this year. I think because of the murkiness there of, is it Dewan Harris? Is it Sean Drone? Is it a split plus the matchup against Seattle? I am avoiding. I'm going to avoid. The matchup against Seattle does favor Sean Drone and the passing attack, the little dump off passes, I believe. But I mean, with guys like Jaquiz Rogers out there and he's, you know,

very, his ownership is very small. 17% owned in ESPN, 18% in Yahoo. And most likely those guys that own him were already the, the Doug Martin owners. If you have, I can't imagine non-Dug Martin owners have been holding on Jaquiz. But to me, he's the best play. He's playing against New Orleans. He's the starter. Yeah. You didn't see Charles Sims do anything last week. Yeah. As a running back all season long. He's DeVantza Freeman Light and he's got a great matchup. Yeah.

I would agree. He's my number one pick. I mean, who would you? Next year in your fantasy draft. Number one, you quiz Rogers. You heard it here first. Yeah. I mean, there's great guys out this week. No, Alfred Blue. I would probably play Alfred Blue. Alfred Blue. No, I take Rogers then Blue. Yeah. I might. Alex Collins is very interesting. Again, San Francisco. It's not interesting enough for me. Man, because they're going to give carries elsewhere as well. It won't just be Collins.

Yeah, who? Their backup. His name escapes me. I understand that there's other guys who will get carries, but Alex Collins, I think, will get the most touches of the group. I agree. San Francisco. You may see, like I said, 35 touches for blue. Chris Ivory as well. I mean, there are a lot of really great matchups for people off of the waivers. Chris Ivory. Pope. That's what I was thinking about. Okay. Tri-Mane Pope. Chris Ivory goes up against Indianapolis.
