Week 13 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Wanna Play a Game? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/1

We do have that. I mean, a foot clan member came through, got it and forwarded it to the baseball. Wait, Wednesday afternoon football? Wednesday afternoon football.com. No, they did. It's ours, maybe. They did? Yeah. If we can figure out the person's name, I would shout about it. The foot clan is amazing. Oh, my goodness. That is hilarious. And it had a trickle-down effect. Steelers, Washington moved to Monday of next week. Ravens Cowboys moved to Tuesday. So we do get Tuesday night football.com next week.

And I think the game's going to happen out of that domain. Shout out to Nick. Nick handled it. Way to go. Yeah. I did forget a couple of announcements at the top. I'll get back into the news. But we did pick our hashtag Megadone winner, which thank you everybody who tweeted that hashtag that made it through the Megalodon. All of the feedback on the Megalodon was amazing as always. I'm glad you guys look forward to it. And Bo, Bo L won the gift card for Mega Dunn.

And then we also picked our Kenny Gulliday signed jersey winner, Justin H. Justin H, congratulations. Like just in H? Like just in H? Just and H, yes. Yeah, that's his name. His parents went with that single digit name. It's like Brooks. Brooks's middle name. Oh, yeah. What is your middle name again, Brooks? The letter C. Okay. And do you pronounce that? Do you pronounce that k? Or do you?

Or do you go like a s? Right. Approximately how many times if people ask you what the sea stands for? Is the sea silent? A lot of times. A lot of times. The sea is silent. I might have made it easier on you. All right. This was huge news yesterday. I am devastated by this news. It just seems like we've got enough going on. Why would this have to take place? The Flying V himself, Will Fuller.

Pill Fuller has been suspended six games for a PED violation. And let me tell you, he did it. He's not innocent. Because if you're innocent, you go ahead and appeal a six game suspension. You don't take responsibility instantly on social media. And now Will Fuller is out.

We spent forever on yesterday's show talking about what he means to Deshaun Watson. Will Fuller is the wide receiver four on the year. He was my sweet, sweet darling in my dynasty league. And now heading into the playoffs, he is done for the season. The Reaper does what the Reaper does, man. Oh, come on. So yesterday I was with my son. And so my son's playing fantasy football for the first time this year. I'm co-managing with him. Our team is dominating.

We have the most points in our footballers family league. We have locked up the bye week. And he is, you know, huffing and puffing his chest about how we got the bi week. We're winning the championship. I'm like, dude, we are a long way. Stay humble. Yeah, just pump the brakes. And then a couple hours later, we lose Will Fuller. And I'm like, dude, remember when I told you to take it easy? We've got a big problem now.

Yeah, you never presume the future in fantasy, that's for sure. And now Will Fuller is out. Implications here for fantasy. Massive. I thought through this. I mean, obviously Brandon Cooks is the wide receiver one for this team moving forward and is a locked and loaded every week's start. Beyond that, you now have the reemergence of Kiki QT as kind of the second option in this offense. But I know Deshaun Watson. I've watched him play football for a long time. And one thing he really...

is comfortable doing is leaning on the tight-in position as well. So Jordan Aiken's is somebody that I'm looking at. He's at the top of the list. I know we've had Darren Fell's weeks earlier in the season. He's kind of trickled down the depth chart. I'm looking at Jordan Aiken's certainly. And, you know, at this point in time, you know, you have Randall Cobber hurt and we're moving forward without Will Fuller. So it takes the ceiling down.

for Deshaun Watson, unfortunately. Not just the ceiling. I mean, we had already, in our playoff primer, the Texans were highlighted. And it was, what do you do with Deshaun Watson worrying about the playoffs? Now, then since we were talking about that, Will Fuller really caught fire. Brandon Cooks jumped in those flames as well. So it was, oh, well, we're not going to worry about Deshaun Watson. But on the road against Chicago, that's the playoffs week one in week 14. Then on the road against the Colts.

The next week. That's, this sucks, man. This sucks a lot. And no Hopkins. That's not good. Yeah. And I do think Akins is going to be the biggest beneficiary, genuinely. He had two, it's kind of a one of those things you don't see if you look at the stats. But if you watch that game, he had two end zone opportunities. He dropped a touchdown. He had one ball that was just barely mistrown. But he had a chance for two touchdowns in that game. They're going to have to throw the ball somewhere. And, you know,

I think some would love to say, okay, now Duke Johnson's going to get involved for David Johnson. And that might be true. If David Johnson gets back from the concussion, he could be a beneficiary in the past game as well. But unfortunate breaking news, it's essentially a season-ending injury of sorts for your team. And he's going to miss a game next year too. Yeah. I mean, he's going into the offseason looking for a contract knowing that he will miss week one. Yeah, but there is better news. It's not all bad news.

Continue on, Andy. We've got a run of good news. Yes, Dalvin Cook, not expected to miss any time due to the ankle injury suffered on Sunday. All right. All right. Josh Jacobs, confident he can play on Sunday. Okay. All right. All right. Panthers coach Matt Rule said DJ Moore's ankle x-rays were negative. I have no idea how that's possible. That seems great. They didn't x-ray the need.

They needed to x-ray the knee. They did the wrong body part. I tell you, man, I've watched this play, and I don't understand how his ankle got hurt. It's all in the knee. But, hey, X-rays are negative. They're on their by week. Maybe he's back right away. That could be big news. And then Julian Edelman, oh, wait, this isn't good news. We're done with the good news. Reserve COVID list. Not that anybody could have played him when he came back. So he's on two reserved lists now.

So many, Mr. Reservation here. He's on IR and COVID. What he can't do. They said it couldn't be done. Yeah. The injuries just stacked up and the age and all of that. I think Edelman's fantasy relevant days are gone. And then the Broncos, hey, goodness, they have their quarterbacks back. The quarterback room has been returned. Drew Lock Lake, Portles, Brett Rippin. They all tested negative, been cleared to return to the team. They will now all be staying in separate.

bubbles from one another after that experience. So any other news that we need to get into here? No, I think that's going to do it before we get into the waiver wire. This episode of the fantasy footballers is brought to you by head and shoulders available at Walmart this year. We're doing a new segment every Thursday. We're going to be picking up our picking hour up to 100 players of the week. We're trying to dive a little bit deeper.

Maybe you're desperate for a flex play. We're looking for guys that might be on your waiver wire. It's tough, and it's tough to take your shots on here. But when you get that player who goes up to 100, it is a sweet, sweet victory this past week. I had Cole Beasley, who bailed me out when he threw a touchdown pass. And Cole Beasley, I like him moving forward. I think that...

That was kind of a strange game. But with John Brown being on IR, Cole Beasler is going to get more targets. But Gabe Davis in Buffalo is, we'll be talking about him as well on the waiver wire. But if you want to try and take your hair up to 100, like Cole Beasley, my man did when he threw a touchdown pass. You could take your hair up to 100 with head and shoulders available at Walmart. Pick yours up today and check out this Thursday's episode to hear our up to 100 picks of this week.

And Foot Clan, are you an Amazon Prime member? Of course you are. Of course you are. Because everyone is or should be. But did you know you can watch NFL football live on Prime?

video. It is the future of football. And this week, instead of a Thursday night game because of all the changes in the schedule, you can watch the Dallas Cowboys at the Baltimore Ravens this coming Tuesday, December 8th. You can catch it on almost any device, almost anywhere in the world. You get to choose the announcer. You want Troy Aikman, Joe Buck? You got it. You want Bucky Brooks and Daniel Jeremiah? No problem. You prefer Chris Long and Kerry champion from NFL next. Boom. It's yours.

You get the next gen stats. You can watch in-game replays on demand, all with Prime Video's X-ray. Again, that's the Cowboys and the Ravens. This Tuesday kickoff is 8 p.m. Eastern on Prime Video. It is awesome. It's the future of football the way to watch. It's also available on Fox and the NFL Network. NFL Network Simulcast is subject to change and presented by Bud Light Platinum. Put me in, coach. All right, waiver time.

And we do have buy weeks this week. They're back. The Buccaneers and the Panthers. What are they doing, man? Heading to the week 13. And, you know, just a little knife twist is losing Will Fuller. I'm looking at my dynasty team. I'm like, oh, well, I'll just put Robbie Anderson into that wide receiver starting spot. And we've got a buy week this week. Same goes for any of those Buccaneers wide receivers that you've been taking your shots at. But that's you facing Brooks in a divisional.

winner gets the division in the by week. Oh, and the buy week. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm thinking this PED thing is directly correlated to Brooks. Brooks did something. Exchange some of that gold bullion. He keeps hiding away in an effort to maybe have you been sending supplements to Will Fuller? Is that what's going on? I do not appreciate these accusations. Okay. But he did not deny them. The judge is above board at all times. He just doesn't appreciate them. Hey, try this. Try this. It's approved.

But, yeah. Approved by Brooks. Well, and another wide receiver that I certainly won't be starting against you, Brooks, is one of the top drop candidates from Twitter and Instagram, Travis Fulgum. We just talked about it, but Fulgum, Rager, you can move on. You don't need to put them into your lineup. And then Tyler Boyd is another drop candidate. I don't know if I dropped Tyler Boyd because he is like Sterling Shepard or something where you can kind of.

keep them on your bench. If it's an emergency, like, I don't know, the wide receiver four goes out for the year, you can slide them in there. And I'd feel more confident with Boyd than any of the Eagles wide receivers. I would agree there. But I mean, this is where we take a look and say, are there players on the waiver wires that are available that you would be willing to drop Boyd for, for instance. What a Debo Samuel is out there and available. He's available in about half of leagues right now.

obviously was very involved this past week and every week. They manufacture touches for these wide receivers who are hybrid wide receiver running back options. Would you drop Tyler Boyd for Debo? 100%. Debo is a must add. Debo is a must add. Debo is a must start for me. I mean, he's going to take on Buffalo. And in the playoffs, Debo will be playing Washington, Dallas, Arizona.

The way that they use Debo, we kind of highlighted this yesterday, the matchups don't concern me because they just, they do tap passes, they do handoffs. They don't try to get Debo down the field before letting Nick Mullins get into the ball. Yeah, he's just so heavily involved in this offense when he's healthy. And he was immediately the wide receiver 9 on the week. He is a spend legitimately, if you have a need to start somebody, I would spend all the fab.

I have to acquire Debo Samuel. Agreed. I do not feel that way about a couple of other rookies that are candidates for pickup. Mike mentioned one earlier, Gabriel Davis, and then there's Michael Pittman. I do like Gabriel Davis. He's made plays this year, but we have seen this team without John Brown at times. This past week, Gabriel Davis had a nice week, four targets, three for 79 and a touchdown. That being said, the touchdown did come.

from Cole Beasley, and he will be involved. I am not as enthusiastic to spin up on Pittman and Gabriel Davis just because I don't think I can rely on the way that the team is focusing their offense. I think Gabriel Davis can be a product of a, you know, a second or third read, a big play, but I don't think either offense is building around Davis or Pittman. And that concerns me. I'd much rather go with Cole Beasley again, even though he didn't have a huge game.

Yeah, I agree. I would rather have coal than Gabriel Davis. A nice thing is if you're going after Davis, it's someone that you can start that you don't have to spend up for. Maybe you've already spent all of your fab money and you're looking at who will go through the waivers unclaimed and I can get for free. I think Gabriel Davis is probably the most realistic unclaimed. Him and Tim Patrick are the two that I think can go through waivers completely unclaimed and you could get them for free.
