Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 5 Waivers, QB Streamers, MNF Takes

You're the fourth highest scoring team. Apparently you don't know how to keep your sanity. Well, that's, it's tough, but you're the fourth highest scoring team in the league. You've got to persevere. Here, here's what you need to do. You need to realize that Andy and myself in our division against Mike, we are hoping, nay, praying that Mike goes on tilt. And then he trades away his assets. And then he makes bad decisions that we could take advantage of because he's in that hole. Mike.

when I tried to deal with him, said he's going to hold off another week before doing that because he knows what he's doing. And so my advice to you is be confident in your team. Don't make tilt moves. If you're the fourth highest scoring team, then it will come back to where you should be. You should be probably at least two and two or if not three and one when you're the fourth highest scoring team. So stick with it. We're still so early in the season. You'll be fine, Tori.

Yeah, and you can take advantage of other teams that are thrown in the towel. That's the other equation. If you have other teams that are thrown in the towel, suddenly your competition shrinks down, things come back to the mean. That's all you can do. Dan and Syracuse wants to know who's the best chance to be a big upside play from the waiver wire this week. So we just went through all the-oh, Aaron Jones. That's my pick too. Mine as well. Especially PPR League. All right. Cohen or Camara rest of season, says Dan and Pensacola. Would you rather have Cohen or Camara for the rest of season in a half point per reception league?

Camara. I'm going to take the offense. I'm going to go Camara. Yeah. Over the last like three years, the Saints offense with running backs has been near the top of the league, and Camara is getting more and more involved. Nick in San Ramon, California, I have Jordan Reed on a buy. Martellis Bennett is my backup. Is he dropable for another tight end, specifically Ingram? For Ingram, yes. Would you drop him for Ingram? I would.

I would rather have anger. I'd rather targets. I know that there's a report today that Aaron Rogers, I need to get Martell's Bennett involved early. I don't know how many times we need to see that the tight-in option for Green Bay is not where you want to go for fantasy because they have three of them. I think, see, I wonder about that because if Devante Adams misses this week, we brought up Geronimo Allison.

but he would be a little bit more involved. And last week, I mean, you have Martellus Bennett with six receptions. I would strongly consider playing Bennett this week if Jordan Reed is on a buy and you're going to get Reed back. But wouldn't you rather have Ingram for the long term? But you don't need to because you have Jordan Reed. That's the thought process there is play the better start this week as opposed to taking a guy with a better long-term prognosis. I think both are good starts, but the matchup isn't ideal for Ingram this week.

It's better for Bennett, and Bennett has targets as well. So I would actually play Bennett. Get ready for Lance Kendrick's touchdown. Right. Yeah, no joke. If you do decide you want Ingram because of everything we laid out, make a $0 bid. Don't spend because it's so close. Yeah, that's a good point. Where it's like, okay, I think I want him more. I'm going to try to pick him up. But you could be wrong about that, and then you've spent $5 or $10 of your fab for no reason. All right.

This one's from a Vikings fan in Heartbreak Hotel. He says, is Terrence West dropable? No. I would drop him. You would? Absolutely. Yeah, I would drop Terrence West. He's not a... I would. I would drop Terrence West for Alex Collins. Yeah, I think I would, too. Hmm. Yeah. He's useless. Yeah, I mean, I know he's been battling through some injuries. I just don't know whether or not they're going to put him to the back of the line. He's been their starter. This last week was pretty...

horrific for Terrence West. But if he was out there, his negative, negative 0.3. Yeah, negative 7 yards on 4.8 carries, 6 carries, 4 carries. So he should have 2 carries. I mean, we told everybody to ship him out after the Cleveland game where he miracle the touchdown on 8 for 22 because the riding was on the wall. This offense stinks.

So I guess I mean like 10 guys on the waiver show today that I'd rather have. Yeah, I guess back to back nine carry weeks from Alex Collins says Terrence West, you could probably get rid of them. Sorry, buddy. You've won me over. You burned, not really bright. You burned. You burned. You just burned. Thank you for listening to the show today.
