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

from the pup and he ended up active so that's a good sign right you you trace irman wasn't active on game day uh but you saw what you've seen which is first and second down elijah mitchell you saw him catching passes third down uh jimichael hasty jeff wilson did not log a snap in his first game back so are you are you holding him and waiting another week to see what happens because you probably picked him up on this

News. Yeah, I mean, I certainly view him as an insurance back, which means he's a stash. He's someone you can cut if you need to, but he's got value, especially considering the frequency with which Elijah Mitchell and all San Francisco running backs get injured. So I would be fine holding on to him if there's not a better option. All right. Likely rostered pickups that you can think about, you know, check and see if J.D. McKissick off the by week is still there. Mm-hmm.

Check on Kenyon Drake, who we talked about extensively earlier. Devin Singletary is getting some targets. I don't know if those are going to go away with Dawson Knox return. Devin Singletary is very interesting. Zach Moss got hurt. Yeah, depending on Zach Moss. Zach Moss left the game. The Jets matchup. If Devin Singletary is the only running back against the Jets, he's going to be a smash play. Adrian Peterson, Jeremy McNichols, Deont de Foreman. We needed to have a discussion about.

that backfield and how we see it moving forward. I think we have different opinions. My opinion is I see this whole thing grossly. Sure. I don't disagree with that. I don't love any of them. The one player that I would certainly put at the top of the list would be Adrian Peterson just because he got the goal line opportunities. Not only did he get the touchdown, but earlier in the game, they wildcatted him for an opportunity for another touch. And I think when they get down around the goal line,

It's his job. We have the same opinions. Okay, there you go. But I don't love any of them. I'm not excited. I'm not burning a ton, but Peterson would be the one to half. Yep, I agree. And they could, you know, with another week of practice of him arriving, it could work him in a little bit more. Mick Nichols did get a carry inside the five. He got, he might have been on the six for the other one because he got, it was Mick Nichols twice.

As they got inside. They gave him two chances, yeah. They did. And then they got to the two, and Peterson was the one who punched it. Well, that was because they knew they got word. I had texted them about your fancy team. Yeah, yeah. Like if McNichael score, you would win. I would have won, yeah. So I had to let him know. I appreciate that. Thank you. A.J. Dillon is, he's been more involved. He obviously looks good. He's not the guy, but he's averaging 5.4 yards per touch on the year.

Played 38% of snaps. He's just making every single dynasty manager sad. Just because of this offseason, the whole thing started with Aaron Jones watch. And for an entire month, it felt very much like the Green Bay Packers were not going to bring Aaron Jones back. And AJ Dylan was going to turn into the dude, the dude, a superstar fantasy running back. And I think that's all that's happening.

is they're confirming if Jones had left, A.J. Dillon would have been in an incredible spot and at least the top 15 running back at the worst. Instead, what is happening is he's not getting enough work to be started. Yes. But he is definitely getting enough work to destroy Aaron Jones upside. So I'm not, I mean, he certainly should be rostered because he's getting work and he's a talented back on a good offense. I don't want to start him and I wish he would go away.

Who's your favorite pickup from the main group of available running backs? Because it is not pretty. There's Jordan Howard. He's 17 for 71. Team came out. Ah, we got to work him in. You have Alex Collins that, you know, I think Chris Carson is probably going to play. I mean, I do. He's supposed to get back on the field tomorrow at practice. And so if I, if.

He comes, if Chris Carson comes back, Alex Collins is. Is a backup. Is irrelevant. Yeah. A backup with other backups like Rashad Penny and Travis Homer. 100%. And I think, and I, this is how bad it. I think he's still my number one pickup. Oh. Well, you have, I mean, you have a problem in, in New England, too, because, you know, you can say, oh, remandre looked good. Well, he's looked good before this year. You can say Romandre looked good, but he's hurt. He and Damien Harris went out.

separately with head injuries, four minutes apart, both to the locker room, both didn't return, both we need more information than to tell you to go pick them up. This feels like a Rocky Balboa. The two boxers just knocked each other down. Double K. And you're trying to see which one can get up for the next game. Because if one of them can get up and the other doesn't, you're going to have a real winner here. But we don't know. I mean, yeah, if he were to miss, the problem is it's last time Damien Harris missed, we were.

tricked. Yeah, Ramandre Stevenson looked great. 62 yards on 10 carries, involved in the receiving game, 44 receiving yards. I love Ramandre Stevenson. If he didn't have the current injury that he left the game with, he would certainly be my number one pickup. That being said, I mean, it is an extreme risk because he could very easily just be inactive.

Just Bill Belichick be like, yeah, I don't need you this game. Damien Harris, 15 carries, 23 carries, 14 carries. My number one pickup is he doesn't have the ceiling of Ramandre if everything were to go right for Stevenson. But it's Mark Ingram. Now that he has moved over to the Saints, he's seeing a good amount of work. Nine carries, very efficient, 43 yards, but also five targets. And he caught all five of them. He gets Tennessee, Philly. These are.

matchups that I'm with you. I'm happy that I'm going to play my running back against those guys. It's, this isn't a, uh, you're signing Mark Ingram and you're strutting through the streets celebrating your victory that you got Mark Ingraham. During the Connor McGregor walk. Yeah. Oh, I got Mark Ingraham. Look, big man. Hey, hey, but, but he is very playable. There are two ways to start a roster each week. There's, there's, there's, I'm going to shoot for the ceiling, but there's also don't goose me.

Mark Ingram's never going to... Leave these butt cheeks alone. Right. That's a... Are you there with that one? You never heard that called a goose when someone pinches you in the butt? Is it a pinch? Is that what... I thought it was something else. I didn't know it was a pinch. Yeah. Al, you would be the authority on this. I have no idea. I've never heard that. I think we were all feeling... Well, that's fine. I thought goose and you was a little bit more invasive. Really? Yeah. Oh.

To goose someone is defined as to pinch the person in the buttocks. Huh. Where did you find that? Google. Also, read a book, you heathens. Yes. Reading books would teach us all about gooseing. Go back to school. Okay, well, there you go. All I said is I thought I was more invasive. I know, but I'm in a room of idiots. What about Brandon Bolden and the same Patriots?

backfield if remandre stevenson and harris both yeah sign him later in the week i mean don't don't spend anything up on him yeah or just yeah or just go with the free approach and early stash and see what happened the only other name i would be willing to bring up here would be eno benjamin yes he should be picked up um james conner is the is the main guy he's going to come in in the absence of chase edmonds but i don't think they want him to be you know they've had a split backfield all year

And I think Eno Benjamin will have work. So he's in a great offense. It's a bad matchup this week against Carolina. So it's not someone that if you're looking to pick someone up and play him this week, I would rather play Mark Ingram for sure. Sure. But Eno is on the list of, hey, there's an injury. He's going to have a couple week opportunity to be part of a great offense. All right. Tight end options. Where are we looking this week on the waiver wire? You know, Logan Thomas is out there. He's 55% rostered.

Friar Mute. Is he your number one? Like, are you in? Are you in for an every week? I'm in, baby. Muth. I'm in, baby. Look, ever since Juju Smith-Schuster got injured, Pat Friar Muth has been involved. He's seven targets, seven targets, six targets for a tight end. He's involved around the red zone.

I don't know that you're going to find better than that on the waiver. Now, there's a debate between Logan Thomas and Pat Fryer Muth. Like, flip a coin, I think Logan Thomas has a more realistic outcome of being better because he's obviously more experienced. He was great before getting injured. I think their plan was to bring him back after the buy week this week. He doesn't have Eric Ebron on his team. Exactly. But the question with Logan Thomas, though, ironically, you bring up Eric Ebron.

is whether or not Ricky Seals Jones will continue to be utilized in the passing game in ways that he wasn't prior to Logan Thomas going down because Ricky Seals Jones has proven himself valuable to the Washington football team. But it could be a Khalil Herbert situation where it's like, thank you for your service. The main guy is back, hit the road. And I, that's what I... That's how I projected. That's how I projected. They paid Logan Thomas a lot of money. So I think I would go Logan Thomas over Pat Friarmouth. I'd rather have Dan Arnold. Over both of them? No, over Logan Thomas's return.

So you pat for our move to your number one? Yeah, I chase it because he's a rookie and he's been great and more involved and the ceiling goes up. But like Dan Arnold, the last four games, he's on 85 reception pace on that team. 17 targets over the last two weeks had an end zone target that didn't work out. But I mean, fundamental to the offense in Jacksonville. And there's a reason why Marvin Jones isn't getting targets. It's because James Lashonis was.

Now you have Dan Arnold there who has athleticism. I like him because you can get a week where it's yards, get you enough points. Yes. Yards plus touchdown win you the week. 100%. Not just touchdown. A great matchup. You know, I brought that up with Marvin Jones that I think, you know, the Indianapolis Colts. It's going to be a great game for Trevor Lawrence. Dan Arnold's super involved. What happens to the mail during the holiday season, guys? What is it like?

Does a postman work harder? Yes. Or do they take it easy? They deliver. They don't deliver on Christmas, though. Is he playing on Christmas? Well, we have to look into that. Oh, man. Do some deep diving. That's a tough one to research. I really hope that they did not schedule the Jaguars on Christmas. That's coal in your stocking. Yeah, that's, you've been naughty. You see how happy Urban Meyer was? Oh, yeah.

Nine to six, baby. Yeah, because that was, I mean, that was a great upset. That was like a playoff victory. He knew that celebration, that smile, that wasn't just the win. That was I'm not being fired as soon. Yeah, today. Yeah. I mean, think about it. If Matt Nagy pulls that one out last night, it's like getting an extension. I expect Urban Meyer to survive the season and then retire.

You know what I mean? You can't find mutually agreeable. He can't retire. No, like he's just not physically unable. Oh, sure, but he can quit. He can go coach another college team. Yeah. Tyler Conklin did have seven targets. He's a desperation tight end every week. Waverwire pickups for the defensive side of the ball. Baltimore has Miami. The Cardinals have Carolina and Sam Darnold. Oh, yeah, baby. Cardinals defense has been.

arguably the best in football. Very good. Dallas against Atlanta. I don't know. I don't feel great about that after what happened this past week and Atlanta playing so well. I would agree with that. Dallas is a little dicey this week. The Broncos, though, their defense has been very good and they get Jalen Hertz. Are you in on that? It's all right. It scares me. I mean, I like my defense to play somebody that doesn't have.

explosion potential, and I guess I give Philly the chance to explode. For low, so like Ravens and Cardinals, that's like a 50-50 shot will they be there. The Broncos are available in about 70%. So then the other low roster defense that's interesting is the Cleveland Browns against the Patriots. Do you prefer that? I mean, it's on the road. It's in Foxborough. Yeah, as you say, would you rather have the Browns facing the Patriots office or the Patriots facing the Browns offense? I...

That's a good question. Because, I mean, the Patriots are at home and just put up a humongous game. I think I would go with the Patriots. Did you play the Patriots over the Ravens? No. Okay. I like the Ravens. And while we do expect Russell Wilson to be back this week, at least worth mentioning it for some reason. He has a setback or something happens. The Packers defense would be a good play. Oh, yeah, because Gina. Yeah. Full stream ahead.

I'll kick it off because I've talked about him a couple of times. What are you doing? I like yours much more, Mike, but you already had him claimed. It's in the same game. I think this game has a lot of fantasy points. I like Trevor Lawrence. This week is a streaming option against the Colts. The Colts have allowed the most passing touchdowns in the NFL. They're a very beatable in the air. And I think Trevor Lawrence has shown enough from, you know, he's got a lot of bad games. He's got a...
