Week 12 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Die Hard Decisions - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/24

And in that matchup, J.K. Dobbins was 15 for 113 yards, and Gus Edwards was 16 for 87 in a touchdown. So it's not like it's impossible that Gus Edwards goes out there and has a great game. He's going to have volume. He should easily see more than 15 carries. He will see goal line work if they get there. So he is, I'm much more bullish than Jason that I get it if you, you don't need Gus Edwards for the long haul.

Maybe you don't want to blow your number one priority on him. But you're trying to win a week. But he is a priority ad this week, especially in this waiver wire. Yeah, we'll talk. It's not the best. We'll talk more about running back options. Normal expectation for, you know, just look at the timeline for positive COVID tests. It's not a guarantee, but they should miss two weeks. And so then, you know, the following week, I believe is the Cowboys. Yeah, that's great. The matchups for the Ravens after this week.

Through the fantasy playoffs, it's game on for everybody. All right, Tastom Hill. Except for Hollywood Brown. You just can never, game off. They say game off for Hollywood. Car! Go on, go on. Nice. Nice. Yeah. Taston Hill, as expected, no longer tight end eligible on the ESPN platform is a quarterback. So still relevant for fantasy football. Very. Just not a tight end.

Matt Rule said he's considering Christian McCaffrey week to week. It's not, it's almost certainly. He's not playing. Yeah. They have a bye week next week. But he also hates your fantasy team because Christian McCaffrey has gone from out to doubtful, which means if he's sitting on your IR and he is. You can't make a waiver move. All right. Julio Jones, game time decision likely this week against the Raiders. He is going to hunt the.

the playoff aspirations of certain teams right now. Yeah. Is there, if he's in, if he's active, you're playing him? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. But with that face? Mm-hmm. Okay. Matt Nagy said the team is still evaluating the statuses of both Foles and Trubisky. So right now it's like three potential options at quarterback against the Packers for week 12. It could be Foles, Trubisky, or off the street.

To be honest, I mean, they could bring somebody else in. I mean, the truth is it's irrelevant. You're not playing any one of those three. Yeah, but it's not irrelevant to Alan Robinson managers. It's not irrelevant to even David Montgomery managers, if you returns. It just makes it a little scary in those cities. Because the Packers are pretty good against wide receivers to begin with. Yeah. So is there one that you prefer for Mr. Robinson at this point?

Because maybe it doesn't matter. I don't think it matters. I still would prefer Foles, but I'm going to play Alan Robinson no matter what. And I'm going to be. You're going to play Alan Robinson or Antonio Brown? Okay. So I'm not no matter what. But I'm going to play him. He is a playable asset in fantasy for sure. All right. This episode of the fantasy footballers is brought to you by head and shoulders available at Walmart.

You guys know about our taking it to 100 segment where we pick our taking it up to 100 players each and every week. Last week, in case you're curious, Mr. Moore. I'm back on the board, baby. Mr. Moore got a big win. Brandon Cooks took it to 100 in a big way. Mike had the Miami defense. I don't remember exactly where they. They did not. There was 2-0 really let the team down. Yeah, yeah. And then I had Mike Davis. He didn't really take it to 100 against.

Did he? Oh, absolutely. Mike Davis was a top 10. He was top 10. I thought so. Oh, I had a majorly RB10. So I had a great pick. I mean, I was just, that's a hit. Yeah, you're back. Celebrate yourself, Andy. That's right. You're at 100. I'm going to take my celebration up to 100 with head and shoulders available at Walmart. Pick yours up today and check out this Thursday's episode. Actually, it'll be tomorrow, right, Brooks?

Yep. Oh, yeah. On the megalah? Megala. Everything is in the Megalada. We're going to take that show up to a thousand minutes long, a thousand minutes. That'll do it, but make sure you check them out. Available at Walmart. Waiver time. Put me in, coach. All righty. Bills, Bears, Giants, 49ers on the way back from the buy. All right. Who's going to buy?

Is that sure? Nobody? Nobody. Nobody. Because weirdly, the last teams to get a buy, Buccaneers and the Panthers are next week. Don't care. You figured the schedule out for 2020. I'm happy. Way to go NFL. We've got football. It's weird. It's weird. Yeah. There aren't, I don't think many teams in NFL history that have had week 13 buys. So it's a rarity. The Buccaneers and Panthers will not be available in week 13. So.

Playing ahead. You know, waiver show. That's a good thing to pay attention to it. Me and Brooks have the exact same thought. That means that every single game that can happen is on the Megalodon. The Megalodon show will be the longest. 16 games. Has ever been. Fellas, you know those like mobile IV? Oh, yeah. We're going to need. Brooks, we're going to need to set that up. Brooks, actually, I sent him to school for that. So he's.

Yeah, Brooks, order three banana bags and you can put them on us tomorrow. Do you do it from the beginning of the show or does he IVS up like midship? Probably half time, right? I think about a half time. I'd like to see you get live IV, Jason, because I know you don't like me. You would love to see it because it's the biggest, largest baby in a diaper you've ever seen. I remember we did the health, we had to do the health insurance stuff here.

And we had the nurse come. And I remember you were like, it's like you needed a room to prepare it. Yeah, he's like pacing. He's pacing. He's pacing. I can do it. I can do it. The funniest thing is right when they're putting the needle in and getting me prepared. I am, I'm like, you know, my off hand, whatever arm they're not doing is gripping something. And I'm trying to be calm and trying to not look so stupid, but I look awful. But Al Barland, have the salts ready.

That's a good point. Oh, the smelling salt. Yeah. Yeah, that might be necessary. 16 games plus start to the week. Woo! Right? Plus taking up to 100. Mm-hmm. Boom, boom kicker. Plus the boom, boom kicker. Mm. Plus, ballers picks. Anybody ever falling asleep mid boom boom kicker? You got the stamina to get through the whole rhyme? I will, I will push through. Okay.

drop candidates at the wide receiver position. We'll turn there first, find some wide receiver options for you. Oh, yeah, prop it like it's hot. Buy or sell. Everything. Everything's on that show. Four hours later. All right. Hollywood Brown, goodbye. Yeah. And if you want to make it more cathartite, you can do a countdown. You can fire off some fireworks into the air when you let them go.

Whatever you need to do in the punt off the bridge moment. Let him go. It's rough. Release him however you please. T. Higgins, Tyler Boyd. What do you do with them? I don't think you cut Tyler Boyd. I'm not dropping either of these guys yet. I get that the downgrade to the quarterback is massive going from Burrow down to Ryan Finley for the Cincinnati. Bengals, that offensive line is real bad. Joe Burrow was able to overcome some things because he's a very good quarterback.

But both Higgins and Tyler Boyd are also talented wide receivers. So I'm not dropping them just yet. I would definitely drop these next two guys ahead of them, which would be Travis Fulgum and Jarvis Landry. Disappointing performance from Fulgum a couple weeks in a row.

I don't know how much is his fault or he was just taking advantage of a target share opportunity during the time when Goddard wasn't there and Ertz wasn't there and Rager wasn't there. Yeah, it's really confusing because now you've got some of the other pass catching options healthy and all of a sudden it coincides when Rager gets back on the field. All of a sudden, Fogham is not relevant. But then if you actually look, it's, you know, he had five and seven targets. Yeah, he saw 20% of the targets against Cleveland. So he's still getting targeted. And it was a rainy game. Yeah. Yeah. So I, you know, it's one of the.

where if there's a better option and you feel more confident playing them, sure, drop them. But, you know, if you want to wait and see, because he did, and he's talked about it a lot, he passed the eyeball test. Fulgum looked like a good wide receiver and he is still getting the targets. They're just unfortunately, still from Carson wins. He plays Seattle. Travis Fulgum and the Eagles are playing Seattle this week. So that's a, what? I'm not going to drop Fulgum. Oh, okay. I was like, that's, yeah, that's a plus matchup.

I'm not dropping Fulgum yet. It's a trap. One of the two. I don't know. Seattle has had the entire season to be a trap, and it's not. But DeAndre Hopkins just put up one of his worst games of the year against the Seattle Seahawks. That is fair. His quarterback also.

hurt his shoulder on like the third play of the game. Yeah, but Carson Wins is Fulgum's quarterback. He hurt his shoulder. I mean, what do you want? What I mean? You can't convince me that there's a worst quarterback situation elsewhere. A hundred percent healthy Carson Wins. Yeah. Is not as good as a hurt. He's got an above the beard injury. We learned that yesterday. Above the beard. Forgot. All right. It is interesting, though, because the wide receiver waiver options, I'm not that excited across the board. There's nobody that I'm going out.

minus maybe one name that I'm going out to fight for on the waiver wire, okay? And that would be Michael Pittman, because Pittman has, he had another nice week, now only three targets, but they've figured out what to do with him, and that is to let him be an athlete. They put him in crossers, they give him the opportunity to turn on the jets. I imagine red zone opportunities will come his way in the screen game.

Not a lot of downfield stuff, but he has produced, and he's out there for 80% of snaps, and he has the invisible upside of a rookie that was drafted with high draft capital. So Michael Pittman is at the top of my personal list. Yeah, I think he would be the number one on my list as well. He's got Tennessee and Houston as the next two matchups, the fantasy playoffs, Vegas, and then Houston again. You know, so I think he's someone that.

After back-to-back games, he's heating up. And if you want to get in that fire, now's the time. He is probably my number one, but I have a hard time deciding between these two guys. Michael Pittman, you know I love me some Michael Pittman. But Nelson Aguilar, Las Vegas Raiders, he has had quite a handful here of good games. Five deep touchdowns that is tied with Tyree Kill for the most in the NFL.

I saw a very funny tweet from good friend of the show, JJ Zacharison, who said maybe. Maybe Agalore's problem was Carson Wentz. Yeah. Which I chuckled heartily at because you're here for all Carson Wins trash talk. I look, it because let's get to the psychology of this. I've never fully supported Carson Wence. And you're feeling pretty good.

I want, I don't want the man to fail. No, this is like me, this is like a my juju situation. I've just never, I, I see the good, but I also see the bad. Anyways, so Nelson Aguilor, uh, Atlanta this week. Very nice. Absolutely. The New York Jeds the following week. They're nice. Absolutely. So that's why it's tough for me to, to decide between.

Pittman and Aguilar. I agree. That was the second name I was going to bring up. So I completely agree. It's hard because he has been somewhat touchdown reliant. But at the same time, he's getting a touchdown almost every time he goes out there lately. You know, he's got a touchdown in six games right now. Well, and with him, you needed to see a lay of the land with where Derek Carr wanted to throw the football. You didn't know after one breakout game if it was.

anomalous if rugs would start to get all the deep targets like aguilar is becoming more trusted over the course of the year not not less trusted so he's not a guarantee by any means because i mean he's because he's not snagelaw yeah yeah i'm just saying that of the of his last five games two were top ten performances and two were catastrophic including a goose egg and a game of one for eight i think we're all on the same page here and he's a little bit more available than pitman

I would probably put similar lower fab bids on both and just see who I ended up with and be content with that. There's two players after them that are my next two. You guys can agree or disagree. It would be Tim Patrick and Jalen Rager. Tim Patrick's a baller, man. Tim Patrick's just good. I mean, he is. Look, I have had Jerry Judy on my roster in the League of Record.
