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

Full stream ahead. My quarterback streamer of the week, I pivoted. I think Taylor Heineke is a great one. So I'll just throw that out there. I think Heineke is a good streamer. But I will go with Jimmy Garoppolo against Minnesota. Over the last month, Jimmy Hansom, he's averaging 22 fantasy points a game, completing 70% of his passes. You have a full allotment of weapons on offense now with Kittle, Ayuk, Indebo, all healthy, altogether.

And Minnesota's past defense has torpedoed over the last month. So I like this. I think this is a game that could be very competitive, could be high scoring, and they've leaned on Jimmy G with some inefficiencies and injuries in the running game, and he's delivered. He was the number two quarterback last week. Yeah, I don't mind it. I'm sorry, Minnesota gave up the number two quarterback overall, so there's opportunity.

Yeah, he's been efficient in his last couple starts. My streamer was originally going to be Daniel Jones. I still think you can. There's obviously a very big gap between whether or not you're a good NFL player and whether or not you're okay at fantasy. Daniel Jones has plenty of top fantasy finishes. Of course, he can crash too, but the Eagles are giving up the highest completion rate.

in the NFL 72%. But I don't want to trust Daniel Jones. I will go with Taylor Heineke as mine, because if those two guys were on waivers, I would certainly grab Heineke over him with Logan Thomas coming back, possibly Curtis Samuel, the emergence of, you know, Carter, and you've obviously got Scary Terry out there. The weapons are there. I would go Taylor Heineke. And I'm going with Cam Newton, and this is a, I imagine this will be the last time you can actually stream Cam Newton because this is a, you pick him up.

and you might have a quarterback for the future. The Miami Dolphins will be the matchup. The Miami Dolphins have allowed the most passing yards in the NFL. We've seen Lamar, Josh Allen, recent performances by mobile quarterbacks, and they've just destroyed the Miami Dolphins. So I think that Cam is a priority pickup if you are struggling at the quarterback position. Okay. Yeah, I mean, there is a baseline there with Cam that seems comfortable regardless of...

whether you think he's got upside week to week. I think we're going to learn whether or not this is either going to be the next phase of Cam Newton's career or the end of it. Like with this end of the season, we're going to know whether he's got anything left. We talked about Big Ben and hoping he was going to be better. Well, Cam Newton show us something with because he's got the weapons to do it. Like if you can't do it now with DJ more Robbie Anderson, Christian McCaffrey and company. What I think is even more interesting is,

He only has to do it for half a year. And if he has a good half a year, Carolina will bring him back. But can Cam actually hold up to an entire season? Because we saw him be, he was carrying the Patriots offense for about two-thirds of that season. And then it all just fell apart and he couldn't do it anymore. And obviously Babelichick and every other team in the NFL decided he couldn't do it anymore before this week. So we'll be very, very interesting to see. It's a fun time of year.

Um, fantasy playoffs right around the corner, what, three weeks left for most leagues before you get into the fantasy football playoffs. So be planning ahead, be thinking about each of these decisions with the short and long term in view. And depending on your playoff positioning, that's what's going to define it. Like, we don't want to just, like, if we, it would be easier for us probably to get on the show and just give you a list of like five waiver pickups at each position. But the truth is, this fantasy football is nuanced. It's contextual.

It's based on your opponent. It's based on a lot of factors. And so you got to do a little work yourself. That's right. We'll put the ball in the tea and you make that decision based on your context. We want to thank Tregor. Do you have news for us? Yeah. We were talking about David Johnson and Rex Burkhead. What about Philip Lindsay? Oh, he's been cut. Really?

They love Rex Burk. They cut Philip Lindsay? Texans cutting running back Phillip Lindsay. So, yeah, I mean, that gives more confidence to both David Johnson and Rex. It certainly does. Probably also means Royce Freeman will be active. Yeah, could be. Goodness. They have gone through a roulette of, yeah, he had 3% of snaps last week, one for negative 3 and it was cut. That is...

That is a bad year for Philip Lindsay. He was 2.6 per attempt. You would have thought you'd see something like a play here or a play there. It's crazy. He burned bright. And then he burned out. I want him to just sign with another team and average six yards of carry. It's not impossible. No, it's not. All right. We want to thank Trager Grills for supporting the show. Of course. We love Trager Grills. And like I said, traditions are better with Traeger.

Very excited about the Thanksgiving coming up where we will have a 12-pound brisket all carved up and ready to go. Wood-fired flavor. I'm excited because a lot of my family, they haven't experienced the Trager. I've had some burger nights, but I haven't done a brisket. And this is going to be like the debut. I've got it at our house. I couldn't live without my Trigger anymore. You just wouldn't. Life wouldn't be worth living. It's not a world I want to live in.

And we'll be monitoring that cook with the Wi-Fire technology. This Thanksgiving add wood-fired flavor to your feast with a Trigger grill, and you can do so very easily by going to Trigger.com slash footballers.
