Week 7 Waivers + Rookie WR Rundown - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/20

It's wild, and they paid him as well. Defenses this week, the Vikings, if they're out there, for goodness sakes, because of the buy, grab them, they probably aren't. But the Browns play Tennessee this week. The Brown defense has been really good, and my goodness, that's an awesome start, as are the Jets who get to face Miami. So Tennessee, Miami, two of the teams are targeting a lot. Carolina, if it's Jalen Daniels, I'm a little bit more nervous if it's not, but those are some defenses that you can pick up.

Would you play the Tennessee Titans against the Browns? Because I know the Titans don't have a good defense. I wouldn't mind it. No, I wouldn't mind it. But the Browns are, they are just like Deshawn Watson has been playing. Okay, he's been playing better. But no one takes more sacks than Deshawn Watson. Or looks. Gummer when he throws. Yes. I mean. 50% of the time. I think that.

I think the Browns can go win. The Browns could go win and score. 1310 was this past week. Yeah, but they could go out and score 30 points on the Titans and still the Titans defense could end up with a really good fantasy score because of how Deshawn Watson plays. And I promise the Titans are available. Yeah, that's, I mean, that would be, that would take their roster percentage. Oh, no percent. I'm guessing. Well, people in Tennessee, maybe.

I would love to know the real truth for that number. That was the waiver wire presented by T-Mobile. When you're updating your roster right before kickoff, you've got coverage.

I have been in the tech and media business for my entire life. I built hundreds and hundreds of websites. And so one of the things that was the fundamental, most important thing about making it official, whether it's a website for our league.

which we've done many times, or a website for a business or a website my son is registering to be able to build his business, it's the domain name. You want to get the domain name, you want to make it official, and Wix makes it ridiculously easy to purchase a domain today. And if you've been around this area of the internet for a long time, it's also really appreciated that you can go to Wix, get a domain, and you don't have a 12-step funnel with a bunch of add-ons that you have to

tack on to your order, and they're also on the forefront of just turning that around and making an amazing website right away. You're talking about the opportunity to use AI. They have this Wix Harmony, one prompt, build a site for your company, for your league, for whatever you've got going on. You can make it official by picking up a domain name with Wix, and they make it super simple. You get business email and the website, all of that stuff. So you can claim your domain at Wix.com. That's Wix.

Any other big trades happening in our league? Anything happen in the last few minutes? I'm out of draft capital. Not yet. Papa Josh hasn't clicked except on any of my offers. That's a shame. I'd love to see another one pop through here. All right. We will jump into the mailbag for some questions from the footling. Mailbag. You psyched me out, man.

Yeah, Andy's going rogue over here. What are you doing? I was like, I'm like, I'm looking at my quarterback for the, for the streamers, and I'm like, okay, I got to get ready. Oh, that's the mailbag. You want to know the truth? We built out this new waiver wire system for the show. When I popped back in, I just was past, I was past the streaming quarterback. You got the worst mailbag. Here's the first mailbag question. Do you guys have. What are your streamers for this week? That's what I was saying.

I stole your joke. Sorry. Full stream ahead. I apologize. That's okay. It was a funny joke. You'd love to talk on the show. I know. I know what the narrative is. Streaming quarterback options this week. Josh Allen's on bye. Trevor Lawrence is on bye. Jason, I know you're starting Herbert everywhere. He's on by. Kyler Murray is my streaming quarterback pick this week against Indianapolis. I like the bye week for Kyler.

I think every week that he's been more and more acclimated, had opportunities to play in this system. He's looked a little bit better. I don't think he's looked good. I think he's looked a little bit better. But Indianapolis looks very, very opposite of good. Kyler's available in more than 50% of leagues. There's an opportunity here this week. Yeah, I think there is. I think Kyler's actually a really good play. You want to target Indianapolis. You don't have to worry about.

weather in this game. So that's, that's great. I'm going to go with CJ Stroud. Yours is the one. C.J. Stroud. This is not just a good stream. Thank you. He's been awesome. I mean, in, in the four games with Nico Collins active, he's averaging 71% completion percentage, basically 300 passing yards a game and over 20 fantasy points a game. That's like what you, when you're looking for a really good fantasy quarterback, you're wanting him to score more than 20 fantasy points a game. He's averaging that with Nico. Now you add,

future first ballot Hall of Fame wide receiver to the team in Tank Dell. And then they also trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. But it's you said this at the news, Mike. It's like all of a sudden this team who seemed like they had no one to throw the ball to is like, well, now you've got, you know, Hutchinson's like, okay, well, he's fine in this role. And you've got Marv running a few routes. You get Tankdale back. The doctor's doing what he needs to do, which is underneath. You got booty. You've got, I mean, this is a crazy amount of.

capable receivers there. And so against New York Giants, their 10-point home favorites. It's a great match. CJ Stroud should be started. I mean, he's the start of the week. Yes. For like independent of the streaming category. Yeah, he's going to have a great week. And this one, I guess the news, I hadn't seen the Jadlin news, but.

I like Baker Mayfield immediately off of your waiver wire against the Carolina Panthers. Should he be the one who actually started? Whoa, the lasers got me. That scared me. Carolina's 24th and scheduled adjusted points to the position. Baker and Baker was dropped in a lot of places. 27% rostered. So he's. What's that over there, Mike? What's behind you? Mailbag. Payful bag.

Nothing. That one is better. You guys want to do some mailbag for the foot clan? Oh, I love to. It's ironic that the second I said it's for the Foot Clan, you're like, let's not do that segment. It's really weird. You guys have kind of turned on them. Website question from Nick. What's up, Ballers? Brand new member of the Foot Clan, just wondering if I should trade Devante Smith for T. Higgins straight up. Oh. Interesting. I'm going to go to the two, the Devante Smith, Truther for this one. Yeah, I would. I love seeing 14 targets in the first game without Jalen Hertz.

Devante Smith, I think, is a better wide receiver than T. Higgins, but I'm going to take, I'm going to take. Not Tanner McKee. Not Tanner McKee. I mean, 45 pass attempts for Tanner McKee last week. Unremarkable was the commentary. My week is gone. It's certainly not impossible that Devante Smith is fine with Tanner McKee. Shoot, maybe even better. Slash Joe Milton. Yeah, but. Zooka Joe's waiting. But yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to take the Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Burrow. T. T. Higgins is fine. I would do that. Okay.

Joel in Colorado, should I pick up Trey Tucker and drop Devante Smith? No, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that. Rob in London, bonjour from London. Get some football this week. Would you trade George picking straight up for Matthew Golden? Oh my gosh. Yeah, I would. I think I would. I have watched every route of Matthew Golden this year. Matthew Golden looks fantastic. He looks great. And he looks like somebody that Jordan loved trust tremendously is looking for when plays breakdown down down the field.

He was our trade for a candidate weeks ago, kind of highlighting, hey, he's doing everything Christian Wants is doing, except for he's not scoring. Now he's had a touchdown three of the last four weeks. Yeah, and I mean, look at three of the last four weeks, wide receiver four, ten, and three. He's the wide receiver seven on the season right now. So, yeah, I think I would, man, that is so tough to take someone as proven as George Pickens who's struggling. Yeah, I look. Yeah, I think you should do it.

It's a tough one. And it is one of those trades where you're like, how is this happening? But do you accept it? I mean, do you accept that this is what's happening at this point? I think I do. I think you can have two things to be true here. You can do this trade. George Pickens can get better and you can still have the better player. Like Pickens getting better might not equal what Golden will be. That's the part that will make the trade okay. Is there a world? Because we saw this a couple years ago. Jordan Love balling out.

is the quarterback quarterback Jacobs question. Yeah, quarterback five in fantasy football. They get Jacobs on this team and really are able to run the ball more around the goal line. Are they? No, no, no. I'm saying in the past. Oh, okay. What happened was a shift in mentality, personality, personality. Then in a week or two, you're going to add Micah Parsons or at some point. Defense, run the ball, that type of thing. And so this.

You know, I talked a lot in the last month about getting Jordan Love, picking him up, making him my start of the week the last couple weeks and this coming week and just like staying in the flames of this matchups. But I do believe, you know, going forward, you could have a shift from who the Packers are as this high-flying, deep passing offense. Did they trade for five new offensive linemen? No, but they did sign several extra offensive linemen, you know, a couple weeks ago. I think that's been the biggest problem.

Yeah. I think that problem will remain. And so I think Jacobs will help because Jacobs will do infinitely more than Marshall and Lloyd. But I think he could get like six yards on five carries. I think we knew balance was coming in part this year. And, you know, Tucker Kraft getting healthier, Golden looking good, Watson being a dominator. Matthew Golden is a huge part of it because last year. It means a good question to ask because that has been their philosophy before. Well, like even if they wanted to be high flyers last year, Matthew Golden was terrible. Like he was not.

a functional part he got no targets yeah but we say that's earned yes so they gave it to dobs perhaps perhaps if they had decided to target matthew golden this would have happened last year but it it didn't and you had injuries this year too so jaden reid went out it's i think it's a little bit different with the way that watson and golden are playing to to look at that and be like we need to shift back those two guys they compliment each other so well because they are such fast

athletic wide receivers on the outside that like you can't really scheme both of them they honestly they're very similar yeah to dallas no no no i think you're saying to each other no to each other yeah i just think that golden and watson are very similar watson gets the red zone deep play advantage because he is a better he's bigger and like so he can go high point of ball but golden's been able to do that they target golden on like goal line plays

I agree with you. I think that they are very complimentary because you have a hard time defending two speedsters like that. So I think it is, I would do it. I would trade. Like right now, if you played Ryan Flannoy over Pickens for this year, you're probably about even. Caleb Williams on Thursday night football or wait for Stroud against the Giants. I'd play Stroud. I mean, last week you were better off playing Aaron Rogers than Caleb Williams, production-wise.

which seems crazy but I looked into it and I started Caleb and it was a fact yeah I certainly I don't view Caleb Williams as someone that I'm needing to bench or wanting to Kyle do we have the over under it's the new England part that that is yeah that's where like the over under I think is 50.5 for Thursday yeah that's what I'm saying it's a high over on the environment of the Bears versus the Patriots seems more likely

to spiral out of control in the second half and people are having to put up points where the Texans are going to manhandle the Giants. Like it's either Jamis and you're getting a bagelion picks or it's McCarthy and you're getting a bagelian picks. So I think it's I love Stroud this week. Oh man. That's a really, really tough question. I think maybe you just take the for sure like Stroud for a half.
