Week 8 Waivers + Shoot Your Shot, Full Stream Ahead - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/27

you know, has an opportunity. He's boring, but he's going to take half the snaps and you're not going to get a zero from Josh Kelly. Yeah, you're not going to get a zero. I will say you got to be careful with Joshua Kelly because Justin Jackson was banged up during the practice week. You had the scare on Sunday afternoon. Is Justin Jackson even going to play? Then he got out there. You could have another week of recovery for Justin Jackson and that timeshare could easily flip-flop right back.

into the favor of Jackson. Well, the nice thing is, is we've seen it. We've seen these two out there, both healthy two weeks ago. Kelly got 40% of the snaps, and that's what he would get in that situation, at least. So you'd have, hey, a running back with 40% of the snaps is better than taking a shot, and is Devont of Freeman's ankle okay? Right. I agree there, but, man, I'm not sure. It's a floor play, but I'm not sure how high that floor really is. I think I would rather go with Latavius Murray type if he was out there.

because he's got a floor. You know, he had 47 yards last week. I mean, it's not great, but he always has the higher touchdown upside. And the matchup that the Chargers have this week against Denver, who has really been just great at shutting down the run. I know they had a delinement injured this week, so maybe that changes things. But to this point, they have been one of the most difficult teams to run on. Joshua Kelly hasn't been lighten the world on fire in good matchups. So I think I would probably look elsewhere.

All right. Now we got to get to the main event, fellas. My dude, starting running back for the New York Jets. Frank Gore? Le Michael P. Wright, who played on 70% of the snaps. I believe that would make him the starting running back. He was a top 20 guy last week, mostly because he had a touchdown, 14 opportunities, gets to play against the Kansas City Chiefs, who are allowing 163 scrimmage yards per game to opposing running backs.

Where is Le Michael P. Ryan fit to you guys in this shoot your shot week at the waivers? Because you know at least he will be on the field. I don't know if it's any different than Frank Gore for me. Yeah, I kind of agree. I mean, this last week. Gore was much better on the ground this past week. Yeah, and this was against a team last week Buffalo that has been just a sieve on the ground.

Let me ask Brooks. Brooks, in your league where you are completely snake-bitten, are you playing against P. Ryan again this week? No, sir. Yeah, I'm out. P. Rhine was 11 for 39 and a touchdown. Two for 16 through the air. Gore on the ground was 11 for 60 in the same game. So both had 11 carries. It just came down to that touchdown. Otherwise, P. Ryan is P. Ryan. So I'm sorry, Mike. I'm not in.

on the Michael P. Ryan. All right. You were out last week. Yeah. You missed that on a top 20 guy. Sure. Sure. Yeah. I didn't start FERC or the week before either, Mike. You should have. I suck. Gosh. You really should have. Fers. Yeah. Yeah. If I had next week's box scores right now, I would probably surprise you guys. Yeah. Okay. This is a painful waiver week. That's what I'm learning over the course of this show.

I still, let's do the same situation here. Let's put him in order. I would go Jamichael Hasty 1. I would go Joshua Kelly 2 for the floor. And then I think I would go DJ Dallas 3 for the, if those two guys are out, I think he's worth the pickup on the cheap just in case they are. That's where I'm at.

I would go to Michael Hastie one, Carlos Hyde, two, and then probably McKinnon, Dobbins, Coleman. So to be clear, you'd sign Carlos Hyde on the waivers tomorrow over DJ. I would. So you think he'll play. I'm calling the shot that I think he'll suit up, and if he does, he'll be the starters. Now, real quick, we have to at least mention his name because he's still available in...

31% of leagues, not a ton. So make sure you're looking. Boston Scott against Dallas. We can't expect Miles Sanders to play this week for the Philadelphia Eagles. Where is Boston Scott? Would he shoot to the top of that order? Would he be second behind hasty? If he was out there, I think he'd be at the top of the list. Because of certainty. Yeah, and because of his work in the passing game and the work that Dallas is doing in the passing defense, those two match up pretty nicely. I think you could also put

Geo Bernard and the same, Giovanni Bernard should be in that same category of guys to look at. Just in case. If they are still available. Names to at least poke around. Yeah, Mixin is much more likely to play. Obviously, Miles is not going to play. I would expect Mixen to be back out there, but you're right. He needs to be thought about. Yeah, yeah. It's murky. It's murky right now on some of these injury reports. And the truth is, I mean, you're putting waiver claims in through the end of the day.

So don't just leave it at this podcast. Take a little look, see when you're making these, putting them in order at the end of the day, if there's any new information out about Carlos Hyde's availability, about Go Mixen's availability. Kevin Coleman is the one player that I'm searching up the most because the most valuable running back from this waiver, I am pretty confident, is the starter for the 49ers. That's who will be the best pickup.

I just don't know who that is. But the starter for the 49ers will be good because they always are. And shout out to our friends who play in super deep leagues. Just a name to remember, Eno Benjamin, the backup running back in Arizona. Chase Edmonds is the dude. We're not saying he is not. But another running back will be in Arizona. And it could be Eno or it will be Eno. All right. Tighten drop candidates, Tyler Higby. Yep. Let him go.

Mike Gisicki is a waiver wire pickup after the goose? It's hard for me with the change to Tua to believe in Gassiki. He has the athleticism. He's done it enough. We just don't know the tendencies of Tua. So he wouldn't be my first pickup. I would say my first pickup would be Trey, Trey Burton. Really? Trey Boo. Your first pickup will be Trey Burton.

over Richard Rogers and Harrison Bryant? Well, Harrison Bryant is a rookie who had a great game. It's really tough for me to trust that. I don't know how long the Hooper issue would be, but this is a team coming off a buy. Trey Burton is now fully healthy. The last time we saw him, he was the tight-in three with multiple touchdown, super involved.

Last time we saw them, the Colts were losing by 20 plus points, and they had to actually throw the ball to come back. That's my only argument. I'm not against Ray Burton. He's an interesting pickup at the tight end position, but you have to remember the game script where he actually thrived. Right, but in other game scripts, when they were down, how did Moe Alley Cox do when given the opportunity? This is a team that uses the tight end position. I completely agree. Trey Burton's the top of the list for me. Okay. Richard Rogers is a one week.

potential, but he's also a potential goose. And Harrison Bryant, like Jason said, I mean, he had the two touchdowns, but that's what Burton had two weeks ago, and he's temporary. So just from a shooting my shot at having a season long tight end, I know it's not Richard Rogers, I know it's not Harrison Bryant, so I would shoot the shot on Trey Burton due to the involvement, the rushing. He had more than one rushing attempt in that game. You know, Eric Ebron was a little bit more involved last week, eight targets, and if Deontay is,

banged up again. I mean, we expect him to play, but yeah, I just don't know if I want to go to the Ebron well. Yeah, I agree with that. Richard Rogers will be my top pickup at the tight end. Yes, I get it. He's temporary. Dallas, then the bye week. But it's, it comes down to Dallas Goddard. When is Dallas Goddard going to return for the Philadelphia Eagles? The rumor is week 10.

That's not locked in. It might be even further. We know Zach Ertz is going to continue to miss time. And we know that Carson Wentz needs pass catching options. And Richard Rogers stepped in and filled that position for him. Yeah. And when I said that I would take Trey Burton ahead of Harrison Bryant.

which is definitely true. That's not me saying Harrison Bryant isn't also worth looking at and picking up. This is a team that just lost Odo Beckham, doesn't currently have Hooper. And what you've seen from Harrison Bryant was good. So he is a worthy pickup this week as well. Injoku's probably just as much of a dart throw as Bryant, though. I mean, I'm not, the snaps are similar. Injoku had a touchdown. So I don't. Harrison had two. Yeah, I mean, whatever.

Nizoku is a better athlete potentially. So I don't know if I was going to bid on them. I'd bid on them the same. Man, I would put Harrison Bryant ahead in Joku, but man, do I hope Njoku is a thing. I loved. I mean, there's when they were coming out and that crazy tight end class of OJ. Howard, Injoku, and Evan Ingram that was supposed to just completely change the landscape of tight ends. Injoku was such a.

a freak of nature as a little baby boy. And if he can just get it going, I would be so happy. And the greatest touchdown celebration possibly in the NFL right now. Yeah, except for he didn't even try to do it this last week. I know. He's going to get traded. Is he? I think so. Oh, they don't want him there. That is. Every coach has come along has had one thing in common in Cleveland. They don't like David and Joku. Yeah, it's true. All right, defenses. Give me some streaming options this week. So.

streaming options would be, I mean, the top of the list for me would be the Titans against the Cincinnati Bengals. They're giving up just a whole bunch of sacks and the Titans defense. It's a fine defense to start. So that would be my go to right here. Who would you guys go to? I'm going to look to the Eagles in the division against Dallas. Dallas is imploding and they are on to their third string, presumably seventh round rookie.

Quarterback, that's going to be. That's fair. Sacks, interceptions, pick six opportunities. The Eagles have a good D-line. They would be my number one pickup. Chargers facing Denver. Broncos allowing the most fancy points to opposing DSTs. Mistake prone, Drew Locke, willing to take chances. The Chargers, formidable enough on defense, would be a dart throw. And then the Saints against Chicago, Nick Foles, mistakes to be made.

a player like David Montgomery that will not take advantage of any opportunity other than the one to make me sad. Full stream ahead. All right, streaming quarterbacks. Where are you going? I think the top stream of the week is mine. Jason is not in agreement. Although Jason's is mighty.

They're all. I like all three of these guys. I do like our streamers this week. It's a good week for streamers, but if I had to pick one, it would be Mike. Teddy B. Baby, Teddy Bridgewater, he gets to take on the Atlanta Falcons. Yet again, he was a top 12 quarterback last time. And the only one who has not been a top 12 quarterback against the Atlanta Falcons was Matt Stafford. And that's because Matt Stafford kind of stinks right now.

I don't think it's on Stafford. I think the Lions want to run the ball. That's who they brought in as a coordinator, and they drafted Swift and signed AP. They are going to run the ball if they can. But they couldn't. Fantasy is comedic because Matthew Stafford kind of stinking equated to 340 passing yards against Atlanta. Atlanta's given up 300 in every single game of the year. He won the game on the game winning, you know, the last minute drive. Yeah, I don't think he's more bad. But didn't finish top 12, so he stinks.

I'm going with Carson Wince again against that Dallas defense and the vibes in Dallas. The arrow is pointing down so heavily. I want to play players against Dallas, if at all possible. Yeah, I got another nickname for Travis Fulgum, his number one target right now, which is the full grown man. Full grown man. Oh, full grown man. Yeah. Travis, full grown man. That's the best I think we've heard so far.

It's not bad. It might be there. How can we not figure this out? His name is Fulgum. I think it's a difficult one to really work through. The nuances. Now you're a man. Full grown man. He's a great start this week. He is a great start rest of season. I know. And Travis, buy in. I know. I think believe in Fulgum. All right, my quarterback stream of the week. Send in the car. Send in the car.

You don't do it often. But this is one of those weeks where I would send in the car. Derek Carr against Cleveland, 25% ownership right now for Derek Carr. Cleveland has been bleeding points on the defensive side of the ball, especially to wide receivers. We talked about Nelson Aguilar. You've got, obviously, Darren Waller involved, Henry Rugg's back. This is a get-right game for...
