Week 14 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, HUGE Decisions!

in the absence that you would have a question of, he should be a good option is Gisicki, who's actually been pretty good. He's the tight-in six over the last five weeks, tied in six over the last three weeks. He's got a good matchup this week. He's being targeted more. Obviously, that coincides with losing Preston Williams. Gisiki, to me, looks like a real deal. So that would be like, man, do I play Austin Hooper week one or Gassiki? I don't know yet. But outside of that, you know, I would be rolling Hooper.

All right. Last week, Dallas Goddard, six for 66, probably owned. Jacob Hollister led the team in targets yesterday in Seattle, six for 44. So not a lot of production, but he was targeted frequently, unlike Tyler Lockett and everybody, but DK, DK, MacCath. How dare you? That's phenomenal production for a tight end. Six for 44? Six for four? Probably is. All right. Yeah.

Kyle Rudolph, four consecutive games with a touchdown. He's another player that was streamed this past week. If you moved on from Thielen to him, you were happy. What are you guys doing with the Vance McDonald's situation? He gets to play Arizona, which has normally meant very good things, but we know what this recipe is going to be. Duck is not going to be flinging it around the field. He should probably, but he probably, you know, this is a team that plays defense.

and runs the football and then takes their shots here and there. I mean, even with the James Washington discussion, the hard part there is, you know, three, four targets is the max that James Washington is going to get. But with Vance McDonald, what are you doing? Because he hasn't, you know, he hasn't had a game this year, really. Never topped 40 yards, never this whole year. I am fine playing Vance McDonald this week.

Now, he's not my number one pickup. My number one pickup by Miles Jack Doyle, I think he's a phenomenal pickup, and they're both shockingly owned in about the same amount of leagues. So, you know, if you're staring down those two options, I'm certainly going the Jack Doyle route. The matchup is phenomenal. The targets are there. He's my number one waiver pickup at tight end. But Vance McDonald, I know it's insane, but...

It's real. At this point, you can't ignore anymore how bad, you know, it's not a joke. It's not just like, oh, Cardinals suck a tight end. Every single week, every team is beating the Cardinals with their tight end. And tight ends that don't do things. Ross Dwelly dominated them. Tyler Hig. We went over the yardage of Tyler Higby and his career of.

Never ever being a pass catcher and then puts up a Hyundai and a touchdown. Rhett Ellison. I mean, it doesn't matter. You know, you can beat him. So I think Vance McDonald is someone that you can play. But again, not the best play. Yeah. Yeah, it's tough. I'd rather play Tyler Higby again this week with Gerald Everett out than I would.

Vance McDonald. That is a good option. Seattle is low-key, also terrible against tight-in. There's a couple of teams that I really look for as to who is, you know, what their matchups are against tight-in. And Arizona, Tampa Bay, the Bengals, Seattle, those are the teams that come to mind right off the top of my dome. All right, Mike, thoughts on.

Other tight-end options that you're interested in? I mean, have we exhausted? We've exhausted, like, the main options, but then for those out there, the deeps, the super deep league with the Greg Olson concussion, I think you can consider Ian Thomas. He gets to play the Atlanta Falcons, and Thomas in that matchup where Olson went out. He did have four receptions. He had four targets. Ian Thomas was drafted to be. That's on the basis of Olson missing. Yes. Yeah. If Greg Olson's in, then no, I have no.

No plans to play Ian Thomas, but I guess there's people out there in 16 team leagues who are scrambling to get a tied end, and I think Ian Thomas is okay. Full stream ahead. All right. Who are your very, very, very important streaming quarterback options heading into playoff week one? What do you guys think?

I think I like yours the best, but I will lead. I like both of yours better than mine, so I'll let you guys go first. I'll lead. We'll save Andy for last because that's who I wanted to put in. But you had him first. I'm going with the magic. It's playoff time. It's scary to do. But maybe, you know, maybe you're the sixth seed and you're playing against the one seat or some situation where you need a big, you know, you need a magical performance. And I think Fitzmagic is the guy that could get it done. He has been.

pretty darn good. He's had a lot of, I mean, we talked about, okay, the Eagles secondary is getting so much better and, you know, are you going to be happy with him this week? But he was the number three quarterback against the Eagles. He was the number five quarterback against Cleveland. Now he plays the Jets, and the Jets are already they're bad. And now they're down Jamal Adams.

I looked at the weather because, you know, you're in New York. You worry about that. And Fookland, if you pick up Fitzmagic, look at that come close to the weekend. As of right now, it's about 40 degrees. Cloudy, no rain, no high winds. So I like this matchup for Fitzmagic, which is Ryan Fitzpatrick. I think Jamal Adams looking like he will be out. That's a huge deal, I think, for Fitzpatrick. He's one of their star players on defense.

I believe I'm supposed to go last, Mike. No, no, no. That's what I was told. No, that is what was told. Oh, I acquiesced. I said I like your guys as both more than mine, so I want you to go first. Okay. Ryan Tannahill at Oakland, Tanaill is playing great football. The team is playing well. I love it when something's on the line for these rosters and Tennessee is competing for that final playoff spot in the AFC.

Oakland is giving up the fifth most fancy points to opposing quarterbacks. And this past week, while it was not a good one for Ryan Tannahill in Indianapolis, he had one glaring omission from his stat line that had been there for the preceding four weeks when he finished second, 11th, fifth, and 11th at the quarterback position. And that was rushing yardage. I think he had like five or six yards rushing. He had been at the 30 to 40 yards every game.

They just, you know, they didn't need it. They had the block kick situation scoring a touchdown. Tannenhill had the late touchdown pass, but you guys brought up A.J. Brown. Oakland, I believe they lost by 31 points, two straight weeks, something like that. So Tennessee needs the win. Oakland enjoys giving up wins.

lately. They do. And Tana Hill, I trust him to compete in this one and give you a nice, solid streaming baseline with some, like top five, top 10 upside this week. Yeah, he has massive upside. The guy who's my streamer, it's Sam Darnold. I think you can go back to him despite the brutal performance he had this past week. Now, the news of the bruised ribs, the potential bruised ribs does give me pause, which is why I...

I like Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Tannahill more. But if your waiver wire is, it's already been mined and there's nothing there and you have Sam Darnold and you're thinking, can I actually just keep playing him? I think you can't. You can play him against Miami. Defense versus offense. Presented by Head and Shoulders and Walmart. All right.

Defensive streamers, very important. Hopefully you were planning ahead a little bit, and you've got some defenses on your roster that you really like for the week. If you're a little later to the party, we tried to pick out three defenses that were lower-owned, might be out there for you that you can pick up and start this week. I'll kick it off, and that is the Minnesota Vikings defense against the Detroit Lions. And me, David Blow. Yes. I think Minnesota.

has every opportunity to just take advantage of the, you know, the same things that you saw from Mason Rudolph, from Ryan Finley, Dwayne Haskins, David Blow is not going to be able to. How dare you? Even if he turns out a good performance, he's going to make some mistakes. It's hard to do it soon. It really is. I'm sorry.

I still don't really understand why he's a vampire. I don't have any idea. So you don't either. No, but I'm not going to lie. I do enjoy it. I'm not saying it does. It's not a distraction. I'm here for the people. It makes no sense. Yeah. It's very Mike. It is very much. Minnesota. All right, Mike, you've got a defense that I like a little bit more. Go ahead.

And hopefully you picked them up this past week. They were my streamer last week and that was Green Bay because they were taking on Daniel Jones, the fumbleitis king himself. But now the Green Bay Packers get to play Washington. So I am very interested in that. Yes, Washington. I get it. They put up a decent performance against the Carolina Panthers. But I'm going to. Welcome to Lambo, Dwayne. Yeah. Look, Dwayne Haskins stinks. I stand by this.

Yeah. Terry McClearn texted me that earlier. Yeah, I was going to say, I think the world stands by that statement for the most part. You mean the two and no over the last, undefeated over the last two years? Like I said, I stand by my statement. Yeah. I'm going with the Colts at Tampa Bay. Oh, my. I want defense. Oh, my. Are you, you don't like it? Oh, I, if I had a panic alarm button, I'd push it.

Because you're seeing the surging buccaneers as the real deal. I'm seeing tremendous risk for your fantasy team. When you go to Tampa Bay and you end up in a situation with James Winston guaranteed 300 yards probably. Let me ask you this, Jason. Okay. Because I'm fine with this. James Winston, generally speaking, a turnover machine. A defense can perform against them perfectly fine. And James have a good fantasy day. These things can exist in the same world.

But Dallas gets to play Chicago, and Dallas is available in 60% of leagues. Would you play the Cowboys against Mitchell Tribusky, or would you really go with the Colts? I mean, if the Cowboys were there, I would go with the Cowboys over the Colts. But my point in picking the Colts here is this is, you know, Andy brought it up earlier. You want a team that really has something to play for. The Colts are...

They need this win bad, and they are going up against a pick six machine. And so, you know, you want a defense that could score touchdowns. Oh, Winston 5,000. Yeah, exactly. You want a defense that can score touchdowns. And yeah, Winston could put up a ton of yards. I don't think that, you know, Peyton, Barber, and Ronald Jones, who've been getting it done on the ground are going to have an easy time against this great Colts rush defense. The weather right now looks good, which means, hey, James, air it out. Throw deep.

And let's get some picks here. Let's get some sacks, some turnovers, some fumbles. I think that the Colts can have a really, you know, they're a swing for the fences high upside play is the way that I see it. Yeah, I think it's fine. I got a little shaky just watching James throw it around, but he throws it to both teams. That's one of his greatest attributes.

Or maybe worse. This segment brought to you by Head and Shoulders in Walmart Head and Shoulders. Offense for Great Hair. Defense against Flakes. Visit head and shoulders, Walmart sweeps.com. And you get a chance to win tickets to Super Bowl 54. Oh, next year. Oh, next year. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding? Super Bowl. Oh! That's really, we're peaking next year. Like next year is...

The peak of the show, and then from then on, it's got to go down. It's got to go down, but we hope it's a slow, slow downhill. Yeah. If we cannot get Sammy Hagar at the halftime of the Super Bowl performing Can't Drive 55, then NFL, I don't know what to do with you. He doesn't have to be the main guy. We've set it up for, yeah, it's just one performance. Just bring them in. At least get him out front of the stadium or something. Yeah.

For our fans. He's just on the corner with the guitar. Oh, it's so sad. I'll bet we could get that to happen. Someone says he's not got no permit. All right. Hey, Sammy, you're not doing anything, are you? Oh, man, it's going to be fun. All right.
