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

But it is also, this is not outside of the Rimal possibility for Sean Peyton to completely transform the offense while Drew Breezes out and say, we're going to use Latavius Murray more than Camara for these next couple games. That's fun. All right. Tie-end pickups. Dallas Goddert, if he's not rostered, should be. He finally had a nice game, 5 for 77 and a touchdown at 100% of the snaps. He is a must add if he's out there.

Eric Ebron has been coming on of late seven targets, had another touchdown, 93% of snaps, third most routes run amongst the tight-in position, rostered in most leagues, but should be paid attention to. Mm-hmm. And then you have, you got the main waiver wire pickups of the week, including Jordan Reed. Yeah, me, Jordan Reed. Who in the, if you didn't, if you didn't catch the end of yesterday's show, it truly is, go watching on YouTube.

because watching Jason react to Mike sharing the information that he had snagged Jordan Reed. It was a special moment. Boom, Shakalaka! He got dumped on, and you were so genuinely surprised. It made me laugh. I was shocked. I mean, I was very excited for this moment on this show to bring up Jordan Reed's name. He's coming off of the buy. Before he went to buy, he was heavily utilized.

Mike, you brought up, you know, in talking about Debo Samuel, they're missing some receiving weapons. And Jordan Reed should be out there. He's going to be, you know, if I had him, I would have started him this week. Unfortunately, Mike has him. And obviously at tight end, you're talking about risky business with everybody. Jordan Reed could go out there and get injured the first play. You know, it's not like the best matchup in the world, but it's rare that on the waiver.

wire, you can find a tight end who's going to be out there a ton of snaps, run a lot of routes, and probably get a bunch of targets. That's all you can hope for, and Jordan Reed checks those boxes. Here are the numbers for Jordan Reed. Reed was officially back from his injury in week nine, barely saw the field. So still recovering in week 10 against the New Orleans Saints. He played 44% of the snaps. Again, still just recovering.

In that time, he saw 15% of the targets for the whole game for San Francisco. And he, in 44% of the snaps, ended with a line of 5 for 62 and was the tight end 6 on the week. Well, let's just say something else here. Debo is only questionable to return. Ayuk is out. Name the past catchers. George Kittle. Oh, wait. No, he's gone. I mean, are you. Jordan Reed. You got Kendrick.

Born? Is there, is there an argument to be made that you could, you could desperation flex, Jordan Reed? Let's not go too crazy. Okay. Because I, I don't want the backlash. Now, Jason, we made fun of, uh, uh, just a nice, you know, friendly, uh, jab at someone in our dynasty league because they were celebrating, whoa, I got Richie James and I, for nothing and we're like, yeah.

Because if Debo's out, if Iyuk is out, if George Kittle is out, and all these guys are out, then sure, then you can play Richie James. We're back. We're back. We're back, baby. He's not a bad player. Yeah. So I prefer my Richie James spelled Jordan Reed. I don't know. I don't know about that. But if I were flexing one of the two, I'd probably flex Richie James. Probably. But Jordan Reed is. He's in play. He's in play, yeah.

And we'll talk more about them on the Megalodon show. Along with, we'll also talk about everything else in the world on the Megalodon show. Yeah. Other options beyond that should be only picked up with a blindfold and holding your nose. Yeah, bird box it. Logan Thomas, Jimmy Graham, Dalton Schultz, Robert Tunyon. I mean, Robert Tunyon would be kind of my favorite of that list, to be honest. I agree, except for the Chicago matchup. You know, they're just a solid defense. But I...

Tungan would be my favorite because I refuse. Jimmy Graham just got goose, Logan Thomas, one catch. And you don't know who Jimmy Graham's. And you won't sign Dalton Schultz on principle now. That's 100% correct. I'm a man of principals. But when he scores a touchdown, Mike comes in here and he's like, boom, Shakalaka! That is also correct. That's also true. All right. Defensive streaming options. Lay it out for me. The Giants. The Giants. I mean, the...

I think my top play would be the Saints against the Denver Broncos, but they are rostered in the majority. They're playing so well on defense. That's why I like them, because they're actually like a really good defense. Drew Locke, I get it. They handled business last week, but they are rostered 60% in ESPN, 78% in Yahoo. So that's a just go look and see if they happen to be there.

But it's the Giants. The Giants coming off a by week, so they are readily available. The Giants defense is actually a solid unit. And they get the Cincinnati Bengals who were already allowing a whole bunch of sacks. Now you have Ryan Finley back there. Do you almost go Ryan Linley then? I did. You always go back to the Cardinals glory days of Ryan Lindley. Almost that playoff game, man. Yeah, Ryan Finley.

Not a good quarterback, and the Giants are going to score a lot of points. We have a lot of advanced tools, metrics, things for the join the foot.com supporters over at our website. There could easily be a defensive tool where it just highlights whether or not you're playing a rookie. Because when you, whether it's Jake Luton, Ryan, I mean, he's not a rookie, but a backup quarterback is just such a great situation for a good defense. That was another defense I was going to bring up is the Cleveland Browns. Look, they just.

dismantled. I mean, I won my league a record matchup because I had the Cleveland Browns. They are playing against Jacksonville. Oh, my. Without Miles Garrett doesn't matter. Exactly. That's what I was going to bring up. They're still a good play. And I've said this a couple of times. I've also picked them up in a couple of my leagues. I know that they've been a historically bad defense. But the Seahawks schedule is awesome. They're playing against Philadelphia.

Then the Giants, then the Jets, then the football team. They're going through the division you want to be playing against. So I think the Seahawks are another defense you can pick up if you've been really struggling with your defense. And every week you feel like you're making the wrong pick. The Seahawks are out there. They're available. And I'll throw out the Green Bay Packers. They will be playing the Chicago Bears. And who's playing quarterback for the Chicago Bears? It doesn't matter. Did you guys mention Washington? No, not yet.

Because Washington plays on Thanksgiving. They play Dallas, and I'm not, yes, I understand they got it done this past week, but I'm not impressed. And I think Andy Dalton will make some mistakes with Chase Young in his face. Yeah, there's a lot of good options this week. Full stream ahead. Streaming quarterbacks for, what is this, week 12 now? That's right. Goodness gracious. We did it. We did it. We got the week 12. That's, we always said. We'll get there.

I'll go first. I'm going to go with Daniel Jones, who is, you know, he's actually, he's been okay lately. He's running the ball well. He is the leading rusher for the New York Giants, and he's legit great at that. I mean, he's so fast, which blows your mind, but you get him a little bit of space, and he can be gone whether or not he will trip himself or get into the end zone. It's up to a coin flip.

Nine rushing attempts for Daniel Jones last game he started. He also has had games, and this is his last five-game stretch. He had a 74 rushing yard game, a 92 rushing yard game, and then 64 in that last game. So they design runs for him each and every game. Yeah, and he's running as well as any quarterback in the league outside of Kyler Murray. So he gives you that baseline. And now the matchup is really good against Cincinnati. I think this is a team that's going to be dejected, right? You lost Joe Burrow?

You're not playing for anything now. You don't have Joe Mixing and, you know, they're favored. And over the past five weeks, the Cincinnati Bengals have given up the fourth most points to the quarterback position. So Daniel Jones, I think, is a fine streamer option this week. All right, Mike. Who do you got? I'm going with Derek Carr. Send in the car. Send in the car. Also, enjoy the magical Christmas romp of Die Hard. Oh, yeah. Tis the season. I have already watched it.

Great movie. Not a sponsor. But Derek Carr. Did you just say Die Hard's not a sponsor? I just want to clarify for the people. Yeah, people think we're pandering for that. Well, look, I'm available on VHS. Is Die Hard sponsoring people at this minute? I am open to a diehard sponsorship on this show. I just wanted, I'm throwing it out there. Mr. and Mrs. Diehard. That's the weirdest disclaimer I've ever heard. Please give us a call. We've been accused of stranger. I would love to be accused of that.

Derek Carr is playing the Atlanta Falcons 1988 that movie came out in 1988 32 years later we're getting sponsorships you heard about this thing you heard about this movie die hard I'm sorry go on go on send in the car Derek Carr unfortunately he's not playing Kansas City again because that's when Derek Carr goes into his final form but the Atlanta Falcons it

It's back to a plus matchup. They had a nice two-game run where they rallied, yada, yada, yada. And then we've seen them in the last two weeks get torched by Drew Locke and Tayson Hill. Derek Carr is in streaming, is a streaming contender this week. You know, I'm a lifetime supporter of Derek Carr. Car carrying. I just, card carrying car carrier. Yes. Let me just highlight on the year.

70% passer averaging 243 yards a game and two touchdowns a game this year with a quarterback rating of 107 for Derek Carr. So he has been an exceptional NFL quarterback this year. However, every time I have streamed him, it has not worked out for me. Likewise. I hope you get, yeah, you as well. Yeah, but Mike's going to show us how it's done. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and then I'm going to, I'm going to bring up Tayson Hill. No, he's not a tight end anymore. But yes, he can be played, and yes, you will see him hit waiver wires tomorrow. When people pick up some of these options we brought up on the show, they're going to let go of the cheat code because they may be somebody like myself who had Tastom Hill on a team with Patrick Mahomes or with a team with Josh Allen. You're not going to play Tasem Hill over those quarterback options. However,

You might not have a great option. In one league last week, I played Taysam Hill at quarterback over Cam Newton, and it worked out. That's the kind of situation you could find yourself in. He is a viable streaming quarterback option. He will run the football. He has an elite top five wide receiver in Michael Thomas. He has elite talent out of the backfield. And he's going to produce. You're not going to get a week losing week from Taysom Hill as a starting quarterback. Tassum Hill is a must add.

Yeah. If you've got a quarterback that's pretty much as locked as it gets for 50 rushing yards, that baseline is outstanding. He can get rushing touchdowns. And he is available in the majority of leagues, obviously not on ESPN because everybody picked them up for the cheat code tight-in situation. But if you're playing on Yahoo, on Sleeper, on CBS, any other platform, he is still out there on waivers to pick up and play as quarterback. And we want to thank pristine auction.

for supporting the show because that's what they do. They bring the support. Keenan Allen signed jersey yesterday, $76, which is ironically the exact same amount of targets he had last week. 76. Yes, it's a good week. It's also the amount of trombones. 76 trombones. Okay. Pristineauction.com, use the code, ballers. Check out their hundreds of daily sports memorabilia auctions.
