Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 4 Waivers, Streams of the Week, Injury News

No, I don't think it's because of the pedigree. I don't believe that the Broncos are going to continue being a passing offense the way that we saw. They are a defense-led team, and that is a running game, which they have. I just expect. Strong argument. Yeah. All right. We also have, you know, Mike, you might see Winston's. Okay, go ahead. I wanted to clarify. Yesterday I was talking about of how I think I'm just going to ride or die now with James Winston.

I had not remembered at that time that he was playing against Denver this week, which I'm not. I don't think I'm going to, I'm not going to go up against that. So I will, which if you're paying, if you're following my team, which I know all of you are. Always, always. Always. It's going to be, I'm going to stream Joe Flacco again if I don't find a different option. But I'm, I'm not going James yet, but pretty soon it's going to be throw James in the quarterback position and just take what he.

Take what he gives me. Yeah, all rider dies go out the window with the Broncos defense. All right, defenses that are worth picking up this week. The Vikings. Oh, man. The Vikings, to me, are one of my top pickups. Let's say you are a good team, right? You've got... Thank you. Yeah, that would be funny. Let's say that you are a team right now that has depth. You know, you don't have guys you're going to be dropping for Jordan Howard because you have, you know,

a better option on your bench because you know you're stacked you're you looking good for me i would then be willing to spend up for the minnesota vikings i believe this defense is legit is for real eight sacks good eight sacks is pretty good uh i don't think that they're going to continue on their ridiculous touchdown pace they have the giants

And the Texans at home the next two weeks before the by week. Even beyond that, I mean, they don't have a bad matchup until Arizona. Who knows? That might be a good match. The Vikings are available in over half of leagues. Well, the wonderful thing about that was that this last week, they went up against Carolina, who was seen as this really high power offense. So so many teams that had the Vikings, they dropped them because of that matchup. Pop quiz. Pop quiz.

What defense has given up the least amount of points in the entire league? Oh. Real life points? I'm going to go Philadelphia. 10 points. Well, fantasy points. We're a fantasy football show, my friend. Real life points against. The Eagles, 27 points through three weeks. Two is the Seahawks. Three is the Vikings. Four are the Ravens, and the Patriots are number five. Who's giving up the most points in the league? Is that the Cardinals? No. Oh, I was like, please.

Don't do that to me. No, no, no, no. Don't do that to me. Cardinals actually are more towards the top half. The Buccaneers. The Buccaneers have given up 101 points, the Saints, then the Colts and the Redskins. So this is the time now that after three weeks, you can look at numbers like that and say, oh, I play my Trevor Simeon's against the Buccaneers this week, maybe. Yeah, I mean, this week. He's a streamworthy guy. Absolutely. And he may be my stream of the week. Hint, hint. Yeah, I like it. So.

After we mock Trevor Simeon. Right. Well, we didn't mock it. No, we just said that we'd take the, you know, Winselvania. Yeah. All right. Let's move on. Let's talk about those quarterbacks we think are worth starting this week. Full stream ahead. I got an email this morning, Mike, and they said, what was that song that was played at the beginning of the show yesterday? I've been looking everywhere. I cannot find it. Not available on iTunes. No. I did send it to them, though. Oh, did you? Yeah.

That's my material. Well, yeah. What's yours is mine. That's true. It is available free publicly, so that's fine. Mike made that song. But people were big fans. Big fans. I appreciate it. The Chris and Michael. That was a lot of fun. Yeah, that was really cool. I'm just curious. How long did that take you? Because I know you're a well-oiled musical machine, but I mean... I think that took me maybe 25 to 30 minutes. Wow.

That's cool. I could have done it in 15. Six and a half hours. That has been where I would have been at. I could have played around for six and a half hours and I would have had nothing because I can't do any of that. Look, they're not quite flames for Trevor Simeon because he hasn't been doing this for multiple weeks, but I am going to make my stream of the week. Trevor Simeon at home against the Buccaneers, the aforementioned Buccaneers who have given up 101 points on the season. In three weeks? Yeah.

That's a lot of points. You know who they, just a reminder out there, Folklin, the Buccaneers played the Rams last week. Yeah. They played the Rams and they gave up almost 40 points to the Rams. Yeah. That's not good. Yeah. I don't disagree with you. They've given up against the quarterback in our league format, 31, 35, and 24, including that 24 being to Case Keenom.

So look, he's the guy for me to start this week if you need it. And the best part is, is your opponent won't take you seriously. It'll be perfect. They'll think you're just chasing the points from last week. But you're not. You're taking the matchup with Trevor Simeon. So that's my stream of the week, Trevor Simeon. I also think Dak Prescott's worth considering against the 49ers. Yeah. For me...

My start of the week is... What about your stream of the week, though? Or yes, my stream of the week. The guy available in a lot of leagues where you can pick him up up of waivers, get 250 yards and two touchdowns. That's Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco's a real up-and-down quarterback when it comes to fantasy. He has the ability to have nice big weeks, and on your average week, he's not really a fantasy starter. And so you've got to know the matchup, and you've got to know whether he's home or away, because Joe Flacco is one of those quarterbacks with the...

those splits where you're not going to stream him, I'm not going to stream him if he's on the road. But he's home this week and he's against the Oakland Raiders. Now, while last week the Oakland Raiders didn't give up a lot, I don't think it was really at the fault of the Oakland Raiders or at the, you know, it wasn't their doing.

This week, I expect Joe Flacco with Steve Smith being, you know, completely healthy now. Dennis Pitta with two hips. You know, Mike Wallace, he has the weapons there. He's at home, the Raiders. He's available in most leagues. He didn't have a great week this last week, which means even if he's owned, he's probably going to be dropped by a lot of people. He's the guy that I would stream. And I'm going to throw out...

The Brockness monster. He's playing against Tennessee at home. Tennessee, they surprisingly have not been giving up a bunch of fantasy points to the quarterback position. But I like the Texans to bounce back a lot. Tennessee has, there are a disgrace to me for fantasy purposes right now. And here's what Brock has going for him. He's not playing on the road against Billy B. Right? He's back at home.

where Will Fuller can thrive. DeAndre Hopkins. Will Fuller the 5th? Thank you. They changed that in ESPN this morning. Did they? They added the V. Will Fuller V. Yeah. Will Fuller the 5th in Hopkins. Look, the weapons are there for Brock. I think this is a nice get-right bounce-back game at home against what I consider to be a bad defense. So I think that he's, he is worth throwing out there. If you're scrounging the waiver wire, I agree with Jason. I like Flacco.

a little bit better this week, but I think that Brock will be just fine. I also think that the Texans D belongs in that streaming option. Sure, yeah. If they're not owned at home, Tennessee, seems good. Seems like a get right game for them as well. So that is it for today's show.
