Week 13 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, #TakeLock

Haskins. That's the whole clarification. That's all that's needed. What if they can't find him because he's off taking selfies in the crowd and then Case Keenham gets in? Honestly, 100%. If Washington came out and said Case Keenham is playing, I would be far more concerned about playing this Carolina defense. You'd be out. But they're not. They're playing Dwayne Haskins, and Carolina is a great play this week. Haskins is just a sack absorber. He is bad.

For me, my streaming candidate this week is going to be the Green Bay Packers on the road against the Giants. Look, Daniel Jones has had his big games, but he's also had plenty of bad games on the season. You go back to week five. There's only been one time that the Giants haven't given up.

a top 12 defense in that time. So it's a really good streaming matchup where you're going to get some turnovers. And Green Bay's defense is good. Yeah, especially their passing defense has been pretty good. And Sequin has just not been the Sequin that, you know, you look at this matchup ago, well, maybe Sequin has this great game, but you kind of been saying that for a while. It's true. It's true. Another little stat nugget that I heard from JJ.

If you take out the explosion, which is a, you know, whatever, if you take out Aaron Rogers one giant explosion against Oakland, Daniel Jones is a better fancy quarterback on the year than Aaron Rogers. Yep, makes sense. What if you take out Daniel Jones's big explosion games? Probably still better. Like I said, it just one game made people start Aaron Rogers for a bunch of other games.

I get it. He's Aaron Rogers. But once again, I'm committed to this plan. Oh, absolutely. You play Rogers the next two weeks. Yep. And then you drop. Oh, and then you write in. You write into the league chat. Oh, no. I accidentally dropped Aaron Rogers. Don't worry. Don't fix this mistake. But he's available. Yeah, make sure everyone knows. Isn't Darnold another week 17 drop as well? Like you can ride Darnold as a streamer heading into week 17?

I'm not sure what I can look. He does have, his schedule gets worse. But Mike, to correct you on telling the whole league that Aaron Rogers is available, that's not what you want to do. Oh. You want to go to whoever your opponent is in that playoff. If we can go, oh, crap, man. I accidentally dropped Aaron Rogers. What do I, you know, and that way he knows. Oh, you're she. But, and then you go, oh, crap, I didn't mean to message you. Yes. Oh, shoot. This wasn't. I've been to talk to the commission. Yes. All right. We got there.

I would go the other route. I would just, uh, I'd lean in. I'd be like, I'm dropping Aaron Rogers. There's nothing you can do about it. He sucks. And then someone would, would want to beat you with him. But to your point, Andy, week 15 and 16, Sam Darnold plays Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Yeah. But Donald gets the Bengals and the Dolphins. So he's a fine play for the next couple weeks. All right. We got a couple minutes. Let's hop into the mailbag. Mailbag. Mailbag.

All right, you can visit the website, the fantasy footballers.com. You can click the submit a question button to send us your question, or you can dial the voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. I just want to say one more thing about Carson Wentz. Oh, good, because that's all I want to talk about. And that is that it is in no person's greater interest than mine to support him this week. He did see the future. I love Carson Wins heading into the year. He was one of my my guys.

His team has been decimated. I don't think Alshan fixes everything. I think it's a realism thing of knowing that I 20 points for Carson wins this week is is fine. I mean, he can get there. But what about this is like the golf situation with the Rams. The Eagles offense isn't what we thought it'd be and the Rams offensive isn't. Right. But against Arizona, you can play. What about if he was playing the Giants?

It depends on if his hand is hurt and he's got all his receivers and we've seen something. What if he was playing the Redskins? Yeah, the next three weeks. Yes, that's my point. Please, Carson, please. Together. I think people need to understand why you're this passionate. What, you want to tell him? We got take lock. Call the doctor. Take lock. Hold on. No, I don't have take lock. I don't have take lock.

Here's the truth. I have him in our league of record. I have held him for this time. I don't have take lock. I'm the one that benched Wins to pick up Tanna Hill this last week. I wasn't sticking. If I had take lock, I would have lost last week and kept rolling with Carson Wins. But he didn't have Alshan. The weather was bad. He didn't have Lane Johnson. It's true.

So in other words, just so that our listeners really understand, we've gotten a lot of feedback. They love hearing the ins and outs of our big leagues and what puts you on tilt and what gets you excited named Rahim Mostert. And you're basically saying, I mean, you've got Tannehill on your roster. I've got Tannehill and wins. So you're going to play wins. I don't know yet, but stay tuned. I will be.

I like that the two streaming options are the quarterbacks he has. That is. Take lock. Genuinely. Take lock. All right. Cole in East Lansing, Michigan, given the state, he's going to be so tilted this week now regardless, because this conversation is going to come into his mind when he makes that sound. No matter what happened. The only way that things go well.

The only way things go well for me is if I actually start Wins and he completely balls out over Tana Hill, then I'm happy. Every other situation that can possibly happen is now a negative. You're 100% right. I hate this sport. All right. Take luck. It is a good bit. It's not bad. Cole, given the state of the season for the Falcons, do you go with Julio Jones this week, or I'm sorry, rest of season or Jarvis Landry rest of season?

Wow. That is a really, really tough decision to, man, that's hard. Cleveland's number one wide receiver or Atlanta's number one wide receiver. Thank you, Mike. Ooh, you're welcome. Just make the little OB jab. Yes. Ooh, I like that. Let me give you some information here to make this decision. Jarvis Landry's last four weeks, 187, 17, 2. That's his fantasy finishes. Whereas Julio Jones is 32, 20,

30 and 6. I, and then he has New Orleans. I think that's what, let's look at the schedule then. New Orleans, Carolina, San Francisco, Jacksonville. That's Julio. For Julio. So 50% of those I like. And then Jarvis Landry has Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Arizona, Baltimore. I like 50% of them. I'm going to go Julio. I'm going to go Julio Jones. All right. We worked our way through it. It's, it's legitimately a fair question, though, because Jarvis Landry's been playing great.

All right. Here's another very difficult one from Jake in Seattle. State Farm. Hey, ballers. Can I trust Josh Allen in my fantasy playoffs at Dallas? No. Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England for Week 17. No, I don't think that you want to trust him there. When you get into those weeks, right? Getting to the playoffs, Josh Allen is fine. He's going to be 20 points.

But when you get to those weeks and you're in your semifinals and you're in your championship, you're playing against the best. You're playing against, and you are the best, you need big scores to win a championship. You don't back your way into a championship. You can back your way into the playoffs. I'm on the side of trusting him. I think he's safe. Yeah, I mean, I think he's a QB5 on the year. I think he's got a high floor, but I just don't think against, you know, Pittsburgh against New England. Well, let's put it to the test.

Okay. Because you're going to have to, if you're going to not play him, oh, Mike, you've got to figure it out. No, I'm just saying, I tend to trust him, but week 16 in New England, no, no way. I agree. Not this time. I agree. Yeah, I agree that you don't play him at New England. That seems like, that seems like a very foolish decision. Right. But are you going, if you're not playing Josh Allen, you're pivoting to Streamerville. Right. So then you're making the decision of.

You know, am I going to get bigger upside from, you know, would you go Baker, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Arizona over Josh Allen? I think that's a fair debate. Yeah. If he was available. I think when I look at it, I'm going to be pairing multiple quarterbacks together. Instead of saying who's got the best schedule the rest of the way, I'm going to be looking for someone who's got the best schedule in, you know, week 16, maybe you stay with Josh Allen for the next couple weeks. You know, Dallas and maybe Baltimore. Baltimore is getting iffy, though.

You know, but you know you're going to pivot in week 16 if you get there. Have your plans made now. How about Carson Wins for the replacement? Carson Wins, Miami, New York, Washington versus Josh Allen. Over the next three weeks? Yeah. Ticklock. All right. Water bet. That's the best way to make a bet. Take lock. No, when you were just saying, yeah, all right, fine. All right. Thank you for tuning in today. Megalodon tomorrow. Oh.

Everyone get a good night's sleep. I'm going to bed right now. I'm talking to the listeners. Yes. Make sure you're rested. I want people. I know normally people listen to podcasts in a certain way. We just got a review on iTunes, which or thank you, Apple Podcasts. Appreciate that. And it said, look, I love mowing the lawn now. I mow the lawn three times a week. I walk around listening to your show. I think that's great and that's funny. And you've got your routines. You work out. You mow the lawn. You drive to work.

The Megalodon, you need to be sitting in a cozy chair. You need the fire going. You need some hot chocolate. You need to listen as though you're watching something. Yeah, you need to have a book in front of you that has blank pages. Or you could watch it on YouTube. That's a good point. Solid. Watch it like you listen to something on YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers. There's something about the transistor radio sitting in front of them. That's what I was visualizing. I was visualizing an empty book where they're

Just staring at blank pages, but listening, and they're putting it into words. But YouTube is probably the best route. Yeah, send us your pictures of sitting in a cozy chair with like a blanket on with an empty book as you listen. That'd be great. We want to thank our studio sponsor, Pristine Auction.
