Week 10 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Smells Like Hallelujah - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/9

And what he's going to be able to do against the Indianapolis Colts, who is the matchup this coming week. I would not cut Marvin Jones because I think this is one of those weeks you'll be able to actually play him. You know, similar to the Carson Wins narrative, I think you've got to look at the streaming opportunity. We talked about this on the never not working segment. The fact that the biggest problem for Marvin Jones is actually Trevor Lawrence.

Marvin's fine, but Trevor Lawrence isn't good enough. So you wouldn't drop him to pick up Brandon Ayuk? If somehow Iyuk is out there, then yes. I will answer for Jason. Yes, you would do that. But Brandon Ayuk is highly rostered. I mean, in Marvin Jones' last five games, he does have a week six finish where he was the number seven wide receiver. But other than that, he has been outside of the top 50 for four of those five games. It's been a brutal stretch.

Okay, Hulior, are we done? I am not done. I am not done. I don't think we got a ton of answers from the Tennessee Titans versus the Rams game because it was... They were out ahead. They had the pick six. It was just, it was a strange game that the Titans aren't winning all of their games with their defense like that. That's just that was they, that team rose to that particular occasion.

And what I mean was of we don't know what they're going to do. We still don't completely know what the running back situation is going to be. We don't know what the offense is going to turn into. So no, I'm not going to cut Julio Jones because he's still good. And I would start Julio over Marvin Jones because of the quarterback situation and the confidence there. What about one more name, Cortland Sutton? Woof, man. I mean, you probably don't drop Coralyn Sutton right after a disappearing act. If Corlin Sutton.

was on the waiver wire I would pick him up. He is a talented player. Obviously, we've got the splits of when he is playing with Jerry Judy so far in very, very, very limited sample. It has been not good. That being said, Corlin Sutton's a talented wide receiver. You know, Tim Patrick got the deep bombs this last week. I would not move on from Sutton. In the game script, right, 30 to nothing in this game, a lot of the running backs.

All right, likely rostered waiver pickups. You can check on them. You know, the reason Brandon Ayuk's roster percentage is this high is because he was drafted. 72%, but Brandon Ayuk is somebody that you can look at. Played 93% of snaps. I am a little bit, you know, look, I kind of, I've had fun with this this past week because I picked him up. I played him. This was the week that I felt confident that he would get some action. I'm not going to be.

This is not an auto start player. Sure. This is a you can take your shot with him, but there are players that I, like, I'm probably going to stare down the Ayuk, Devante Smith. I'm going to take Devante Smith. I'm going to take the number one in the offense this week. I'm not going to go to a situation where I know the 49ers can have success without Brandon Ayuk. Right. You know, in the passing game. Tough matchup this week against the Los Angeles Rams for Iyuk, but he does, the schedule does open up after that. If I could trade him.

I don't think you can't. But if you could trade Brandon and I, you sure. He's probably rostered, but I would certainly pick him up. Hunter Renfro and Christian Kirk are both heavily rostered as well, but options you could look at. Kirk is going to be, you know, we don't know if Hopkins is back. He's day to day. We don't know if Green is back. He's on the COVID list. But we do know that Chase Edmonds is out with a high ankle sprain. And you could see Chris and Kirk getting, you know, two extra targets a game short across the field. I like Christian Kirk quite a bit.

And let's move to some more available options. You know, Donovan People's Jones is... He's interesting. He's interesting in a kind of like, I don't know, like a Marquez-Valdes Scantling Plus version. Like he makes big plays. And you know the team has moved on from Odell. So your downfield threat is Donovan People's Jones. Yes. So it's tough. Like this last week, you had a good...

week. He was the wide receiver 10 because he caught a long bomb touchdown, but he only had three total targets. So that's what you're talking about. It's hard to rely on him, but I like People's Jones. He's probably my number one pickup because really looking back, I think part of the reason they were able to move on from Odell Beckham is Donovan People's Jones. Remember, he dominated in the preseason. They kind of went away from him. But this is three games in a row.

Where he's had over 70 yards. I mean, that's, that's outstanding. And you have to look at the script of that particular game where, yeah, it was three targets. But that was 16% of the targets because the Cleveland Browns whooped the Cincinnati Bengals. And it won't always be that. Yeah, I mean, if you need safety, Hunter Infra is your guy. If you need boom, Donovan People's Jones has that chance for you. He has as many 55-yard touchdowns in his career as Devante Adams.

So he's on the up and up. Rashad Bateman? Yeah. You need to get Rashad Bateman if he's out there on the waiver wire. There's an unseen ceiling there with the way this team is throwing the football. Bateman was limited, injured coming into the game, still made his contribution felt eight targets, five for 52, had an end zone target that didn't work out. I'm very interested in him against Miami this week. I am interested in him as well. He does have a Sammy Watkins factor that.

We haven't seen what the team will do when both of these players are healthy. But what we do know is that in his first three games, he's been very good for a rookie in his first three. He's been targeted and done well with them. So he's certainly someone. First rounder. Yes, first round pick this year. The offense is clicking. Lamar Jackson's throwing it well. So Rashad Bateman would be my number two pick up this week. A lot of people want to talk about Elijah Moore.

Eight targets last week, seven for 84 and two touchdowns. To me, and I know you guys are going to have a different opinion, to me that's a fool's gold performance that I would not invest a lot of fab in. Oh, I don't, I don't, actually I don't disagree. Buffalo this week, Corey Davis is coming back and just at a minimum tumult and unknown at the quarterback position. Not just this week, but moving forward, right? Like when Zach Wilson's healthy.

You know, Mike White coming off an injury, the Buffalo Bills coming off of a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. And good teams, they respond. You know, it was one of the reasons I liked Minnesota. If you remember on the show last week, coming off of a bad loss, they respond. Buffalo's going to move. With a loss, you mean? Yeah, but they were up the whole game. Yes, they were. I'm just saying they competed. I think they're going to be competitive in that game. But Elijah Moore, as talented as he is,

You're talking about trying to pick the week with him, and I'm just, I'm not investing fat. Yeah, I mean, look, I would put him behind Rashad Bateman. These are two talented rookie wide receivers where you say the ceiling is unrealized here. There is potential for either one or both of these players to have an outstanding rest of season. One is tied to Lamar Jackson, a former, you know, and possibly current NFL MVP and the other is probably tied to Zach Wilson over the course of the season, which is just.

unusable. So certainly this could be fools gold. That being said, he is very much on my list of people I am, you know, prioritizing to pick up because he has a lot of electricity on the field, three games in a row with at least six targets, and there's a chance that Zach Wilson is not the quarterback, in which case, great. Yeah, I thought I saw a report yesterday that Mike White's good to go. Yeah, and then he's probably going to start. He'll probably start this week.

I would imagine they will go back to Zach Wilson in the following week. Jason, so People's Jones, you said he's your top pickup of the week? Yes, personally. A wide receiver. Yeah, wide receiver. How do you rank him against Van Jefferson from the Los Angeles Rams? It's a similar type of a situation, a similar role where he's not the number one guy. He's the vertical threat. But.

Much better quarterback, much better offense and more pass happy. Yeah, I mean, I think that they're not very far apart. I don't see Donovan People's Jones as someone that I'm burning a, if you have the number one waiver priority, he is my first wide receiver. But I'm not burning it on a Donovan People's Jones because the difference to him and Vance Jefferson is very little. You know, I think Donovan People's Jones is higher in the pecking order on a worse offense. So take whatever you prefer.

Russell Gage, eight targets, seven for 84, two touchdowns. The two touchdowns was... I'm sorry, sorry. Seven for six... Yeah, I was looking at the seven for 84 for Elijah Moore, not the seven for 64 for Gage. But eight targets, 81% of snaps. I believe Matt Ryan is the number one rated quarterback on Pro Football Focus over the last handful of weeks. Yes. Dallas coming up.

It feels like he's going to be involved, but he does this. He does the ping pong thing. That's why it's a maybe. We're going to be sharing our streaming quarterback options of the week, and I was looking at Matt Ryan because he's been playing outstanding. The Dallas matchup is pretty good for a streaming option. I just couldn't do it because it's like you just wait for it to not look as good as it's looked for the last month, especially with no Calvin Ridley. If I can't rely on Matt Ryan.

I can't rely on Russell Gage. This is certainly a player you can pick up, take your shot at getting a decent game. If you have a bi-week or an injury problem and you have to have someone start, you could throw him in there. But I'm not going to rely on him, bank on him. He can have a decent game. Obviously, we know he can goose. He did that two weeks ago. But I don't see an outcome where he levels up and is great going forward the way that with these rookies or with Donovan People's Jones' new situation.

you know, could come to fruition. People want me to bring up to Sean Jackson. Do I have to do that? Well, you just did. So yes. Super deep leagues. Sure. Yeah, I mean, D. Jacks is coming into the Henry Rugg's role. He signed there because, you know, obviously he wanted to be utilized. I think he's going to have a decent game, but you can't get. A decent game?

This week? No, this season. Like, yeah, he'll have one. Oh, just singular. Yeah, I look back. He hasn't had two games that were relevant in consecutive order in four years. Yeah, I mean, he's. That sounds like Deshaun. Yeah. Yeah, he's a DFS dart throw for sure because he's going to have a bomb touchdown by the end of the season. But to rely on him is very difficult. Let's look at the very, very.

difficult running back position, unless there's another wide receiver you want to mention. I mean, Tim Patrick, you can always bring up. Fireball. And I think, I mean, these are lower level wide receivers, all of them. But I do think Michael Gallup is worth a stash as like, I prefer Van Jefferson. I prefer People's Jones. But if you want to put like the zero dollar bid. So who's your number one since Jason brought up Donovan People's Jones? For me, it would be Van Jefferson still. Me, it's Bateman by far.

That's one of most interested. And I don't blame you on that. Kaleel Herbert, are you cutting him now? Is it time to just be mature about the situation and just, he's a high value insurance running back. So it's like, would you drop Alexander Madison? Yeah. 100%. Unless I had, if I had Delvin Cook, I would think about not doing that. Yeah, those guys are guys that should be rostered in general, but they're not necessary.

Also, you know, like I've got Samajé P. Rhine, and he's in this situation where they're on buy. So, like, you're not going to get, you know, I mean, obviously an injury can happen in practice, but. Holding Herbert through the buy doesn't seem smart. It doesn't seem like it's the best utilization of your bench spots. I would rather drop him and pick up, you know, Rashad Bateman, if he's available on waivers in the hopes that he breaks out versus hoping that when the Bears get back, that David Montgomery gets injured.

Yeah, I'd rather pick up Kenyon Drake. If I can pick up Kenyon Drake and have him on my roster. Yeah, I agree with that. Mike Davis, it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. I would definitely cut Mike Davis. He is, he is. He's not explosive. It's not like one week he's going to break off a 75-yard touchdown. What could happen? Nothing. He can fall into the end zone twice. Right. Like falling into the end zone, fantasy-wise, he's okay. But, like, there's nothing that could happen for the Falcons, for an injury, for a,

anything that could make him relevant. He's not going to get faster. He's not going to get younger. It is mind bottling because that is that your, that's different than boggling? That's a will-farrell thing. How does a running back through nine weeks average 14 and a half opportunities per game? And they are the running back 39. Because he sucks it. He's not good. He's not a good running. It's so bizarre.

I mean, he showed that he wasn't a good running back over the back half of last year. He had a couple of good games and then he caught up. Boston Scott, are you moving on? He had more snaps than Jordan Howard. He had far less production. I don't think he, like he's still a spot start. Jordan Howard is clearly the preferred guy at least for one week by the Philadelphia Eagles. So Boston can still be a spot start, but we can rank him against these other guys as we get through it. Spent the whole season talking about Jeff Wilson's return from.
