Fantasy Football 2017 - Starts of the Week, Week 14 Matchups, Quadruple Waterbet

Not a great NFL quarterback, in my opinion, but a very solid fantasy play. It's James Winston. Wow, you're downgrading him to a bad quarterback? I said not very good. Okay. So I apologize. Well, for NFL purposes, I think he makes too many mistakes. He's, he can throw a great ball. He's got a great arm. He's got the tools, but he makes so many mistakes that I would just say as a franchise, I don't.

I don't think I'm going to win games because of him. But for fantasy, when he throws a pick and it goes for six, he's got to get back out on the field and throw the ball more and score more touchdowns. He's been really solid this year in every single game that he has.

finished. If he hasn't gotten injured and left, he's been essentially a quarterback won. He's got a great match up here against Detroit, who has been giving up a lot of points lately. You know, there's no weather concerns. He's got his weapons back. I think James Winston, to me, is a guy that, I mean, you could probably find him on some waivers. Possibly. He is on those teams that are sneaking in. He's got the chance for that three touchdown, a lot of yardage type of game.

Carr, Winston, Mike. Mine is, while he's my start of the week, I tried to take this opportunity because we give our streams on Tuesday. This is another guy who I love and as a streaming quarterback this week. It's Deshaun Kaiser since week eight. He has averaged more points per game than Matt Ryan. He's right on par with Drew Brees. He gets to play against Green Bay. Flash Gordon. We already discussed him at length. And the emergence of.

in Joku. And look, maybe, maybe Cory Coleman catches a pass or two. I just, the running, the running ability, the deep play ability, I like Kaiser as a, as a streaming option this week. At running back, I'm going with Samashi P-Rine, we just talked about him. P-Rine, look, the Chargers, they're dead last against the run. P-Rine also catches a few passes. If you watch Marshall out of the backfield trying to fill in for Chris Thompson, he stinks, P-Rine will be heavily involved. I like him this week. I think you can roll him out there.

Yeah, my running back start of the week this week is Lamar Miller. Against the San Francisco 49ers, it's a great matchup at home favored. Those are type of backs you look for. He's just been so consistent because of the volume. You know, he's had in week 10, a couple weeks ago, in a half-point scoring format, he was under 10 points, under that double-digit threshold you try to get to with 9. So he was pretty close. But if you look on the season, it was week three.

before that. He is as consistent as it gets, but I think this is the type of matchup where you might actually have some ceiling in addition to the consistency. He can score touchdowns on the ground. He can catch a screen pass score him that way. So I think Lamar Miller's a guy that you must start on every roster this week. My start of the week at the running back position is the Rex Burkehead, the Rex Goathead, as some call him, mostly just me.

and a few other people coming off back-to-back weeks of multiple touchdowns. And this is, I know a lot of people are looking at Rick. Of course I'm starting Rex Burkhead, but there's a lot of teams that you already had running back depth and you were. Kareem Hunt, Burkhead, your dynasty. And you grabbed Burkhead off of the waiver. Rex Burkhead is in my top 12 at this moment. There you go. In time. In time. Michael Crabtree is my wide receiver. Start of the week.

Look, it makes sense with the Derek Carr situation. No, Marcus Peters. It's time for liftoff for that offensive passing attack. I think that you have a game that could be a very explosive matchup between the Chiefs and the Raiders in terms of points put up. A lot of opportunity in the passing game, especially with the Chiefs kind of putting up a lot of points last week, even though they lost. Crabtree, I'm sticking them right with Derek Carr and are my starts of the week. Jason, who's your start of the week at the wide receiver position?

I talked about it earlier, but Larry Fitzgerald, he doesn't get enough respect. I get questions all the time. Should I start Larry? Should I start, you know, someone like Jarvis Landry? Larry Fitzgerald at home has been an absolute beast. This is a solid matchup. It's a great play. I would start him in DFS. I'd start him in every lineup. You know, these two guys that I just said, Lamar Miller, Larry Fitzgerald, they're not digging super deep, but they are saying you are making a huge mistake if you think, don't get cute.

Don't get cute and put in, like for instance, Josh Gordon. I'm not starting Josh Gordon over to Larry Fitzgerald, even though Josh Gordon's a new hotness. Yeah, that's fine. And Larry is kind of like, oh, he's just so boring. Well, bore your way into a bunch of fantasy points and another week in the playoffs. And it was already mentioned about my wide receiver start of the week is Josh Gordon coming off of 11 targets, hadn't played football in basically three years, comes right into 11 targets.

Yeah, they're going to give him every opportunity in my opinion. And he gets screenbaited. I mean, Andy went with the Raiders stack. I'm going with the Brown stack. The much revered. You mean the team that's going to get their first win this week? Yep, Cleveland Brown stack. Josh Gordon. All right, Mike, you stole my tight end start of the week. So I'm going with Hunter Henry. A little disappointing last week.

But Keenan Allen has been catching 12, 11, 10 passes. I don't think he's going to be able to go as crazy this week against the Washington passing defense in Washington. Look, they sacrifice a little bit to the tight-in position because they can cover the wide receiver a little bit better. Washington's 28th against the tight-in. Hunter Henry is more than capable in this offense is moving for Los Angeles. Ooh, nice catch. Thanks. Jason.

You are up next? Yes. I'm going to complete the trifecta of stacks. I am stacking my tight end this week with James Winston and going with Cameron Brate. Cameron Brate was a top six.

tight-in when he had James Winston. And, you know, there was all the concern of, oh, J. Howard is the one stepping up. It wasn't O.J. Howard. It was the fact that when Fitzpatrick was there, he did not use the tight end much. He didn't use Cameron Brayt hardly at all, especially in any games that he actually started. You had the one game where he took over, and Brate was in the game plan, and he used him. Outside of that, Brate was uninvolved. Now Winston comes back.

And all he does is throw two touchdowns to Cameron Bray. I think Cameron Brate's a guy on waivers, like some of these other guys we've mentioned, you know, Stephen Anderson, that you could pick up and play and play this week with success. My start of the week is Stephen Anderson, gets a take on San Francisco. See? He has stolen the crown from Charles Clay. He has the new improved Mr. Necessary.

So I love them as a streamable option for those who are in tight-end need. All right. Without further ado, the most anticipated, important, crucial, life-changing segment of the week. Rime of the week. Jason Moore's Iron-clad, locked and loaded, 100% guaranteed boom-boom-boom kicker of the week. The rhyme this week is a little terrible.

but lace them up with Steven Goskowski. You rhyme Goskowski. Good work, Jason. Thank you. Once again, forging a new trail for this show, for this podcast. To the moon. Bringing it into the future. You'll be looked at like a visionary at one point in time. Some point in time. Terrible and Goskowski. Yeah. Yep. Excellent work. Excellent work.
