Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 12 Waivers, Streams of the Week, Mailbag

the guys on the studio yesterday. You got the Bills versus the Jaguars. You got the Chargers versus Brock Osweiler. You got Ravens versus the Bengals, Lions versus the Vikings, Titans versus Matt Barkley and the Bears, the Saints versus Jared Gough in the Rams, the Dolphins versus the 49ers. There are so many great defenses this week. So how would you order those? Yeah. What's your favorite? Good luck.

That's what I think my favorite of that bunch is Buffalo against the Jaguars. And then I would probably go with the Ravens against the Bengals without AJ Green and Gio Bernard. Yeah. Divisional game, they're five and five. They need a win. The Ravens are a very good defense. I don't blame me there. And I think the bills are great. Past that and I think I would probably take them over the Ravens would be.

I really like the Dolphins defense. They're going to be playing at home. San Francisco's traveling across the country. The Niners don't really scare me. I like them. And, of course, the Titans defense, who has been laxing, you know, over the last few weeks, they have not been the defense that we saw the first half of the year. But I do have a strong feeling that that will change with Matt Parkley. All right. Quick note on a kicker.

Jason, so you'll be excited. Boom, boom. Matt Bryant, the number one kicker in fantasy right now, is coming off the by week. He probably was dropped in your league. Several leagues he'll be dropped. All right, we're moving on. Full stream ahead. All right, streaming quarterback options for you for week number 12. Talked about Andrew Luck's concussion. You might be in a pickle when you're used to starting Andrew Luck. Let's talk about some other streaming quarterback options for you.

Jason, why don't you kick it off? Because I love yours. Sure. I'm in love with yours. You are. I claim them just so you couldn't. It's Colin Kaepernick. Because, I mean, look, Colin Kaepernick, I still don't think he's a very good real-life quarterback. You saw, we were talking about how he just doesn't have the arm strength of old. He used to have a cannon and vegan Kaepernick has a, I don't know. Wet noodle?

It's not a wet noodle. He's not a weak. He's not a weak-armed guy, but he's certainly not a, he does not have a cannon. But here's the reality, because he runs so much, and he's in a Chip Kelly offense that moves so fast, he just puts up fantasy production, regardless of whether the team wins, whether the team loses, if they get blown out, if it's close.

Just kidding, on the close. Actually, what's ironic is the last few games. They have the Niners have kept it close the first parts of the game. But over the, you know, he's had five starts. Four of those five starts have been good fantasy productive games. You have to start looking at him as a guy who has a real opportunity weekly to be a top 12.

Fantasy quarterback. I mean, you're coming off of a couple of weeks. He's had two touchdowns in two of the last three weeks. And when you look at how much he's running the ball, you know, he's running for 50 yards on a regular basis. I hate him in week 16, but you've got Chicago, New York, and Atlanta. That's the Jets. For 13, 14, and 15, he's one of my favorite playoff streamers. So I'm on board.

Not bad. Don't have to talk me into Colin Kaepernie. All right. Who are you talking people into, Andy? I'm going to remind everybody to take a breath and start Tyrod Taylor this week. He's playing Jacksonville. But Andy, didn't we have a bad week? Yeah, he had a bad week, voice of public opinion. Did that turn you off to him? No. Wait, I was still talking to him.

You're done. You're done with him. Because he was so bad last week. See, the thing is, is he's at home against Jacksonville. Look, 26, 31, a 20, and a 32-point game followed by the stinker last week. I'm on the Gus bus. See you later. I'm on the Gus bus. Wait, this is, no one's on the Gus bus. I am. Deal with it. Deal with it. Tyrod Taylor this week, I like him. You get weapons back. Last week, he lost Robert Woods. He lost Lishol McCoy for half the game.

Now Watkins might be back. McCoy should be back. But we have to monitor that situation. But the point is, is he's 60% owned and people will drop him tomorrow when the waivers go through. And so you're going to see him drop. And if you are an Andrew Luck owner, grab him. If you need somebody with upside, grab him. He's not very different than Kaepernick. He only needs to throw one touchdown most of the time to get you a good fantasy day because he runs the ball enough. This is what I want.

Proposition 25. Yes. Because we're sitting here streaming Colin Kaepernick and Tyrod Taylor instead of quarterbacks that are going to do more for their team. It's tough. It's tough to say that because you can argue Tyrod Taylor, obviously. Running the ball, different element helps the Buffalo Bills win the game. Should be rewarded just like a running back. Sure. All right, Mike, who's your streaming quarterback option to add with?

Kaepernick and Taylor. I'm taking Ryan Tannahill at home against the San Francisco 49ers. Jason talked about it. They have to go all the way to the East Coast. That does not generally end well for the West Coast teams. And Tannahill has been productive the last two weeks. It was a late show. It was nasty. Yeah. It was nasty for Ryan Tannahill, but that's why there's four quarters. And you can't cut off the fantasy point production after the second quarter. Ryan Tannahill.

In our scoring format, back-to-back weeks, over 20. That's very doable. Two touchdowns. You're talking about the quarterback for the six and four with a five-game winning streak, Miami Dolphins. Is that correct? That is exactly who I'm talking about. And San Francisco, very susceptible to the past. We saw the great one, Tomas, put up four, a four burger on them. And besides Arizona, it took me a second. It was Tom Brady. That was Tom Brady he was talking about.

The great one Thomas? Thomas. Thomas Brady. And besides Arizona, you have just a string, a string put together of multiple passing touchdowns on that 49ers defense. I think Ryan Tanna Hill, it might be a little gross, but that's kind of what streaming quarterbacks is about. So I think he's a fine play this week. Who's a better team? Houston or Miami? Both six and four. I'm going to say Houston.

I believe in Houston's defense more than I believe in Miami's defense, and I believe in neither quarterback. Okay. Let's go ahead and... They're very similar. You got your pipes warmed up? Oh. Bumblebee. Bumblebee. Mail bag. Wow. Now, did you happen to catch...

My attempt at the mailbag on the footcast last week? I did not catch that one. See, when you're out of town, Jason puts me on the spot. Speaking of that, we should let people know the footcast will be the same day as the Megalodon, right? It's going to drop tomorrow instead of Thursday because that is correct. Thursday is Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah, we'll be giving. And we're taking it off, people. We'll be giving thanks with our families. Yeah. And tomorrow we'll probably.

Not have any voice at the end of the day because we won't do shows all day. All right. Welcome to the mailbag. If you have a question for the show, you can go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. Click that questions button or dial us at 302-464 TFFB. That's our voicemail hotline. You can leave us a message. Let us know what you're facing and we'll try to answer them on the show. Here is a question for you guys. Tim and Denver wants to know Lamar Miller or Jha Jai rest of season.

Please help. And now this is a full point per reception league. Lamar Miller or Jaya Jai in a full point per reception. That's very funny considering what we were just talking about. The Texans versus the dolphins. Yes, it is. I'm going to take Lamar Miller. I'm going to go Jai. And I don't blame anybody the ones. No. Why are you going to be the tiebreaker? You do. I'm going to take. I'm going to take Ajai. All right.

All right, Paul in Portland, injuries have decimated my running backs. I just lost my best running back in Bernard. Fortunately, I stashed Rawls. Good job. Now, do I keep Kelly and hope he overcomes the horrible schedule? Or do I accept a trade and get Jeremy Hill? That's tough. So would you rather have Kelly rest of season or Jeremy Hill rest of season? Kelly. Yeah. You know, for me, I know.

Plenty of people do not believe in Robert Kelly. I think there are reasons to not believe in Robert Kelly. There are reasons to believe in Jeremy Hill, but on both sides. I personally am a believer in Robert Kelly. I think he's going to be legit rest of season. I believe in Robert Kelly as well. And I'm going to take the better offense. Washington is a better offense. They didn't lose their elite wide receiver. So the only thing that would point me towards Hill is the fact that I know.

Hill is the running back rest of the season for that team. That's no Gio Bernard. That'll be the only reason. So like with Kelly, there is the chance that something goes awry. They use somebody else just because they've done it already. But I tend to lean with what you guys are saying. Kelly, the better offense. I'll say this. If he said that he lost his best running back and that was Gio, you just got way better because now your running backs are Robert Kelly and Thomas Rawls. Yeah.

who are both significantly better than Gio was before being injured. All right. Here's a Thanksgiving Day question from Chad in Moresville, North Carolina. Was that the Rolls-Royce? That's a shame because Thomas Rawls is going to be good. This was a debate we had in the car yesterday where we were like, I was trying to tell him, what does it really sound like for a...

My car was apparently from the 40s. Your car was from Willie Wonka, and as it drives, it shoots out soapy bubbles everywhere and covers its passengers in that. That's not a Rolls-Royce. That's not what Arles-Royce is, is what you're telling me. I hope not. There's been a lot of soapy bubbles. All right. Thanksgiving Day, who do I start, Rothesberger or Dak Prescott on Thanksgiving Day? I disagree.

I disagree. Put it on the board as a water bet happening, my man. Water bet. I am all about Big Ben Rothesburg this week. I am not. I have, look, I understand that he is on the road. But Big Ben has been unbelievable against the Colts. That's true. It's very true. And the Colts are the 30th ranked fantasy. They've given up. Oh, my goodness.

Two or more touchdowns for the last 10 weeks. I'm going Big Ben. We got that waterbed. You're writing it in there? What's that? You riding that waterbed in there? Yeah, I will. What would Mike say to break the tie again? I think I lean with, I think I lean with Dak here. Really? Yeah. The Big Ben road splits are so bizarre. It's just unbelievably.

bizarre what has happened to him since 2014 and it's going to be close because dach's going to have a great game that that water bet makes it sound like i think it's overwhelming it's not it's if you start either guy you're happy and here's the thing you could have the exact same you want to know where you was last week with with the steelers it could the colts

could get just absolutely dominated by Levi-on-Bel. If you look at Big Ben's last two games against Indianapolis, it's just been incredibly good. You want to know where he played those last two games? Were those in Pittsburgh? They were in Pittsburgh. They say Indies the new Pittsburgh. Well, I sure hope so for you. Because I think you're taking a ride on the blub-blub-blub. It is going to get soaked in bubbles and water. This is really strong analysis to close the show out.

You want to avoid the bubbles. All right. Last question here from Will and Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. I was riding highish. I was writing highish. Way to hedge. With Zach Miller is my guy all year. And with his injury, I'm alone with no side bar fee to rebound to. I got offered Eifford for Moncrief straight up in a full point per reception league. I'm deep at wide receiver with Julio Kelvin, A. Robin Moncrief.

Should I do the trade? Ask for more or go with a waiver wire ad. Our best three waivers are pitta, barnage, and tie, and all other low-end bar fees, no brate. If it's me, I'm doing it. I am trading for Tyler Eifford. I'll do it, absolutely. I'll do it. And that says a lot because Mike loves Dante Moncrite. Love, I agree with you completely. He won him slapping the base last week.
