Week 12 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, #SomePoints - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/23

And you're going to get more out of him reliably than any other this time of year waiver guy. So I will buy. Yeah. Fire. You'll buy the fire? I will buy the fire. I'll go fire as well. It may not be as good as, you know, quarterback four because you don't get to play Washington every single week, which they're a delightful matchup for all fantasy quarterbacks who get to take that matchup. But he'll be.

he'll be relatively safe. I mean, him finishing outside of the top 15, which you don't want your quarterback at 15, but he just, he feels like one of those guys that won't tumble below that. Very fantasy relevant last year, and that's without Christian McCaffrey and DJ Moore. So I think that the weapons around him are enough to, to pad the stats that he'll be a fine fantasy quarterback down the stretch.

That was where there's smoke, there's fire, presented by our friends at Trager Grill's traditions. Like the one coming up. Are better with Traeger. I've already got my brisket. Oh, I'm following the instructions. Yeah. I am. I've got a defrosting. I'm a little nervous. I've never done a brisket before, but they've got a handy dandy, you know.

Step-by-step guide of here on what day to do. So I'm with you. It's in the fridge. It's the frosting. I'm very excited. And you always have Jack in the Box to fall back on if you fail. Oh, well, that's for dinner. This Thanksgiving had wood-fired flavor to your feast with a Trigger grill. Go to Trigger.com slash footballers. News and notes from Around the League. Presented by Sleeper. I don't even know what to say. Adam Troutman suffered a sprained MCL, Mike.

He's out four to six weeks. You're really hitting home runs on these. Universe. This isn't fair. Blake Jarwin. Like, the process was sound. Adam Trowman. The player was excellent. He was on his way to just a monster day. Had a great day. Got it down for fantasy football. But come on. Stop it. Maybe this is one of those situations where if you're thinking about.

Like whoever you bring up is your start of the week. I'll slip a note over to one of you guys to say it. No, no, no. If you bring it up, they'll just, maybe sit out that week. Maybe just like, or like, I don't know, wear a pillow suit, protect themselves against whatever is going to happen. It's like final destination. But Trowman's out for four to six weeks. It was happening. You can pretend that that is true because you will.

I mean, it's like Jarwin last year. You can't disprove games that he's out. So as far as you're concerned, the next 4 to 6 weeks, he would have scored 30 points a week. He would have been the number one tied in. And it was just this close. It was an MCL away, Mike. Alvin Kamara, non-participant in the estimated injury report, Mark Ingram Limited, they do play on Thanksgiving against the bills. That's a fun night game. Yeah, I'm not in love with the Thursday Thanksgiving slate personally. Is that because of the Lions and?

The Bears? Yeah, the lions and the bears and the hurt cowboys, you know, the versions of these teams, even the Saints, if they don't have Alvin Camara, not the best. Still a little too early. Obviously, this was an estimated injury report. They didn't practice, but they said if they had, he wouldn't have played. Here's some good news for that limited Cowboys. Jason C.D. Lamb might play. That is super important. Doing really well, and we'll have a chance to play against the Raiders. So.

If you want your debt confidence increased, you want to be able to play CD. It's looking good. They can overcome not having Cooper or not having CD. But when they don't have either, I think that's really rough. Justin Fields is not expected to play. Like I said, Andy Dalton's going to start on Thursday. Michael Carter will miss a few weeks after suffering a low-grade ankle sprain. So there will be opportunities today shows waivers. We'll talk about the options in the Jets backfield. Zach Wilson has a chance to start.

Sunday's game. More bad news for the Jets. Brutal. I just, I know it's so hard. If there was a button I could push for the dead, the dead emoji, the corpse, I would push it. Well, if you're a Jets fan, are you? If you're a Jets fan, yes. You want to see your young man grow up. You're, you're out. You're playing for nothing this year except for the process of seeing Zach Wilson turn into a franchise quarterback. Yeah. It's the same thing with the Bears. You'd rather see Justin Fields out there.

developing. I mean, it's the same thing for the Giants. You just need, Daniel Jones just needs to just get there. I think I've done that experience. What's, what is interesting. Are you making the Zach Wilson to the Daniel Jones comp right here? Yes. Oh, that's just silly. It's not fair. He's a young, young boy. What's interesting here for Zach Wilson moving forward is his backup quarterback, quarterbacks have proved that this team can move the ball on offense. They can win. Uh,

So if Zach Wilson comes out and completely fails, that's on Zach Wilson. That's what's really unfortunate is how good the backups have been. Zach Wilson has had a couple of games that were flashes. You know, 21 for 34, 297 and 2 against Tennessee. The Titans game was great. And then even the first game of the year against Carolina, he had a couple touchdowns, 258 yards. There's been some flashes.

where he's looked good for drives or halves. And to take all the snark out and just be honest, what we've seen with the backup quarterbacks and the emergence of like Elijah Moore and the offensive system, those things around him have gotten better as well. So Zach Wilson coming back might just be inheriting a better situation. That's the glass half full version. Jamal Agnew will miss the rest of the year, placed on injured reserve Jaguars wide receiver in.

hybrid running back. It would be interesting to see if they move Leviska-Cenault back to that role. Yeah, they probably will. Nick Siriani said Jordan Howard is going to likely miss the week 12 game against the Giants. Logan Thomas expected to be designated for return. We're going to try this again? Yeah, and I think it's super important. There's something about this team and what's happened to Curtis Samuel.

that gives me so much more like pause because it's the same roster. You know, it's like Samuel's, oh, he's coming back, no, he's not. Logan Thomas is coming back, no, he's not. And Curtis Samuel, by the way, is supposed to be back this week. Is he really? Yeah, he almost played last week. Wow. Yeah, you've kind of put him out of your mind. Oh, he's just, I was so excited for what he could do on this offense with Ryan Fitzpatrick. And now this is like a different era. I don't remember. I think they were very excited for that too. Also, Calvin Ridley.

No update on the personal status, according to head coach Arthur Smith. He is eligible to return. So if he decided to come back, if something changes, he's eligible to return. This is a team that is going to be in the mix for that seventh seed in the NFC. I mean, can I say something real quick before we close out this segment? My initial thought about this extra playoff spot, the lack of the buy, was a bit crumagony. It was like,

You know, especially when you hear, like, we come into the show weekly and we're like, did you know the Falcons are in the playoffs right now? And I've decided I love it. Oh, because. We haven't even experienced it yet. I know. But I've decided I love it now because we're 11 weeks in. And I look at the standings. And in the AFC, there's like, you know, there's like five teams right in the mix. And the NFC, you've got a bunch in the mix, tied at five and five. I think it makes.

games more exciting in this tier of like even the ability to fight back into the playoffs it seems like the seventh spot is going to be a mediocre record at best so the bottom third of the league or you know that lower half it's almost like they're all fighting for this one spot to sneak into the playoffs

And it's exciting. I completely agree. I mean, San Francisco's basically tied for a spot right now. Yeah, when they announced it, my excitement was around fantasy football, the fact that more teams would be competing late into the season. They're not just all saying, oh, let's, you know, not get our guys. Back it in. Our young guys injured and, you know, play for the future. This is, you know, these are, there's a lot of teams now that want the right for that first round exit. And, um,

They're going to get it. One of them is going to get it. Maybe, man. Crazy stuff happens in the playoffs. So that team will then be playing the number two seat, the non-buy team. That is correct. In their stadium. But it's the NFL. So anything can happen on any given week for sure. And it's exciting. I think it's going to be fun.

We'll see how it goes. That was today's news and notes brought to you by our friends at Sleeper, the leader in breaking news alerts, download Sleeper, check out the breaking alerts channels faster and every other sorts. To go back real quick and touch on the Calvin Ridley information, I had been waiting for his IR status eligibility to be able to return so that we got news. And the news that there was no news to me is news. Like that is...

Right, very meta. But Arthur Smith, he has no, it does not seem like he has an expectation or a timeline or any information that would lead me to believe that Calvin Ridley is coming back anytime soon. So probably be a question asked to Arthur Smith every couple of weeks for the remainder of the year. Yeah, I mean, but the hope was that when this time came.

They say, hey, Ridley's doing much better. We hope to have them back soon. He's like, I have no idea. Right. You know, so that to me is negative. But you want to know what's positive? Uh, tell me.
