the hype train. I fully expect Hunter Henry to be a factor in the postseason. Assuming that the Los Angeles Chargers, you know, get a round or two in, Hunter Henry should be back. It's very similar. They had a player a couple of years ago that they did the exact same thing with, same timeline played in the postseason after the ACL. So yeah, he should be there for the playoffs. Not.

122 passagesOur playoffs. Sure. But the real life ones. But speaking of the NFL postseason footland, you got to stick around for the fantasy footballers podcast. We are year rounds. We don't go nowhere. I mean, we go, I guess we go down, right? Like in January, we'll go to two shows a week. Three, if you're with us on Join the Foot over at Jointhefoot.com supporting the show. But they are fun. We have a ton of fun. We look at the truth of what happened, understand some stuff that.
that makes you better as a fantasy player. And we, we, you know, look, we cut it up a little bit. Oh, a little bit more. If you're into Dynasty, that comes up a lot more during the off season. Always a good time. And you never know. I mean, you, you never know. We might do something real cool and special during the playoffs. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Also, prepare yourselves. Look, if you're listening and you're not in it, well,
First of all, good for you. You are smart. You are preparing for your next year's title. But if you're still in the running, you might want to just type out hashtag Foot Clan title, hit the Control A, the Control C. Get it ready to go. Get it ready to put out there on Twitter. Get ready to Control V? That hashtag Foot Clan title all over the place. We want to see all the titles, post your pictures when you win it.
I know a lot of people, this is really weird. A lot of people have won their championship this year. Like already. I don't understand the week 15 championship. They heard your, how angry you get about week 17. So angry. I get Hulk. Week 17 championship week. So they said, well, we'll one up him then. We're going to go to week 15. We got a one week year. Week one, champions are made. All right. Let's get into the waivers. Put me in, coach.
All right. Won't be a huge list of names this week because we're talking about one week rentals guys that if you are hurting, perhaps you could pick up and play them. And just as importantly, if your opponent is hurting, you can pick up and block them. Usually we're always telling you tomorrow we'll tell you again. Drop it like it's hot. Look at who was dropped. But this week it's more of a block it like it's hot. Oh. Blocker, lock a block block block block block. Block block.
So look, your opponent, maybe they've got Cam Newton, and they made it through, and they're in the championship. They're going to be looking for another quarterback, and you're going to say, not today, enemy. They're mine. Maybe they had Keenan Allen, and somehow they snuck through to the championship. We do not have an update on him, but my speculation at this point is I don't expect to see Keenan Allen this weekend. How are you feeling about it, Jay? No, I would be shocked if Keenan Allen is out there.
We'll have an update later. I guess I shouldn't say shocked it so early in the week. But my expectation is he will miss this week. So having said that, wide receiver pickups you can grab this week. Robert Foster, he was my rising star. Like I said, four of the past five weeks. He's hit at least 94 yards. He gets to take on the New England Patriots. So let's break down. I'm going to throw out all the names.
Jason, and we're just going to rank them real quick, and then we'll break down some analysis. Robert Foster. Okay. Robbie Anderson, Mike Williams, and John Ross. And John Ross is in this list only because of the injury to Tyler Boyd. Yeah. I'm going to throw his name off, because I think he would be dead last for all of us. You're saying John Ross would be dead last? Um,
Yeah, I think he would be last of those people you named. Mike Williams is certainly my number one. He's your number one? I realize that the matchup is not great. You're playing against the Baltimore Ravens. They have been unbelievable. But Mike Williams, without Keenan Allen, without Hunter Henry. I mean, you've got Antonio Gates. He was the one and the way, the way they used him. It looked from time to time.
Like it was Keenan Allen. You'd see those Keenan Allen screen passes where they, you know, they put him out wide. They throw it to him, you know, on the left, have two blockers go ahead and have him circle in and just get some yak. And Mike, Mike. Yack! Shout out to all that he's been tour of lovers out there. I thought you were going to shout out to yaks. No, no, the yaks don't deserve it. What am I bison at?
Water buffaloes. But Mike Williams, and I would throw Tyrell Williams into that as well. Both of those guys are very interesting to me if Keenan Allen's out. Now, I realize Mike Williams, he's owned in about half the leagues. But goodness, if he's not, he's my clear number one. I would much rather go with Philip Rivers, probable number one target than Sam Darnold's or Josh Allen's.
I mean, those guys are getting it done, but give me Phillip Rivers. So for Robbie Anderson, it was a great game. It was he hit 96 yards, had a touchdown. He's getting the snaps finally. It was a strange year for Robbie Anderson who looked like he was an ascending number one talent this past year and then couldn't do anything. But I think that was a little bit more related to the play of Sam Darnold.
So how do you look at between Robert Foster from Buffalo and Robbie Anderson from the Jets? I would put Robbie Anderson next up on the list. We were high on Robbie Anderson this last week while you were out, Mike. Andy talked about him a lot. We talked about him. We recommended him everywhere. Gets to play Green Bay this week. And he's at home against Green Bay. So, you know, part of this was Quincy and Nunewa. And I don't know, you know, it's a little early to know whether or not he'll be ready for this coming week.
but he has been banged up all year, missing every single practice. Now he missed the last game. I think Quincy Anouin misses again. And Robbie Anderson, if he's the main target against Green Bay, I love the matchup. So he's neck and neck there with Mike Williams to me. So those two are a tier above. And then maybe I'm just disrespecting Robert Foster. I get it. Do you feel like I am? No, because I, even he's my rising star.
I'm very intrigued by him, but it still feels hard to trust. Even though it's been, you've got a decent sample size. You're talking four games, which 25% of a season is, it's not a terrible sample size at this point. But I get it, man. It's the same reason why it was hard to play Josh Allen this past week of, can you actually trust that offense to produce for fantasy?
I would put Robbie Anderson above Robert Foster at this point. A couple of guys. Robbie Anderson, if you're not aware, first of all, he was great last year. But this last week when Quincy was out, he had his highest snap count of the season up at like 94%. He was basically on the field every single play. He had been living in the 70s. So if Quincy's out again. Really into disco. Right. You know, Bell bottoms.
It was just cutting it up. He had that Saturday night fever. The huge shoes, platform. Yes. I mean, but that helps him, right? He's taller than the small DBs. He's got the platform cleats on, which those are hard to get. Platform cleats. You do not want to be cleated by platform cleats. I'm speaking from experience. Would you like to play Robbie Anderson over? And rankings will be up on the website in a little bit. And they're just initial.
This is a gut check. Robbie Anderson or Corey Davis versus Washington? Corey Davis versus Washington. I don't think I can trust him while it is the Tennessee Derek Henry's. The Tennessee Derek Henrys have said, look, Marcus Marriota, you've been okay, but you're not great. Thanks, but no thanks. Instead of having you try to win games.
We're going to not do that. And that's been really, that's been winning games for Tennessee. They're on a winning streak. They're looking great. And Marcus Mario is throwing the ball as few times as humanly possible. Yes. Week in and week out right now. And winning. And winning because of the Derek Henry's. So, yeah, I would, I would lean Robbie Anderson there. Robbie Anderson or Josh Gordon versus Buffalo. Gordon who has been very reliable. Has he, Mike? Has been very reliable until last week.
Hey, who'd you start? Josh Gordon. You did in this last week? I did. And his one reception cost you. Cost me a title shot. I remember you beforehand saying, man, it's a tough decision between Gordon and Mark Ingraham. And then Brooks was like, it's got to be Mark Ingraham. Yep. And I didn't listen. And look, and now I'm just sad. I'm sorry to bring this up again. I'm swimming in a pool of tears. Thanks. You're welcome. My good buddy.
So would you play Robbie over Josh Gordon? If Quincy is out, then I would. I think Robbie Anderson's upside is a wide receiver one. He's got the speed to beat guys, the height to go up over people. You know, Robbie Anderson is an extremely talented player. And if he becomes the number one, like early in the season, we said cut him. And rightfully so, because Sam Darnold was not willing to throw the ball more than five feet.
And it was the Quincy Nunwa show, but the season has progressed. He's become, you know, not just this nob first game quarterback. Should you just call him a noob? Oh, I said he's no longer one. Before we move on from the wide receivers, last guy I want to talk about, just a pair, actually, Broncos wide receivers, Deshaun Hamilton, getting them targets, 12 targets that only turned into 7 for 46, and Tim Patrick.
Timothy. Five for 65 on eight targets. They get to play the Oakland. The Raiders. Oh, that's good. The Raiders who better be doing their best to lose this game. Please don't. Please win Oakland. Please. As an Arizona Cardinals fan, I beseech you. So is there any interest in Hamilton or Tim Patrick? Yes. Let's say that Keenan Allen plays. Do you like Deshaun Hamilton more than Mike Williams?
In a full PPR, if I am projected to win and I just need solid points, then I would be okay with that. But I think the upside is still with Mike Williams because of touchdowns. Mike Williams is, you know, a double-digit touchdown type of guy, even in a difficult matchup, I would rather have that. Now, in full PPR, because of the targets, you're going to have a very nice baseline with both Deshaun and Tim Patrick. Before we move into the running backs, I want to thank today's sponsor.
