Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups, Streaming Options, News

He's getting... Now, he only ran for 28 yards with that 14 touches. But he's on this list because, well... Nice two-yard to carry. It's very good. I mean, what do you... He got in the end zone. Twice. What do you do with him? Do you sign him? Oh, man, if you want to count on these... Let me have you three names. Kyrie Robinson, Antonio Andrews of Tennessee, Joyc Bell of Detroit. Put those guys in order of your waiver priority. My waiver priority for those guys.

Right now would be Joyke Bell, Antonio Andrews, Kyrie Robinson. I would go Joyke Bell, Robinson, Andrews. Yeah, I'd probably go Joyke Andrews Robinson. Yep, I don't believe you. But yeah, those are three names I need to mention. If you're really weak on running back, on running back position, and you need to put somebody on your bench, and you can get them for free. These are guys to stash. These are guys to throw on there, and who knows. Yep.

And the truth of the matter is if something happens with Ingram, which is not like historically impossible to happen, Kyrie will get the majority of first and second down work, he'll get goal line work, and he'll be pretty valuable to you. I will say this. So I'm a Mark Ingram owner in our main league, and I'm questioning whether or not my handcuff should be C.J. Spiller or should be Kyrie Robinson. Obviously, Kyrie will get the work. My thought is if Mark Ingram were to go down, C.J. Spiller would be double involved.

as he has been, in which case he would do more with more. I think they both benefit. Robinson will still get the touchdowns. Yeah. I think Howard Robinson would turn into Ingram Light. And speaking of stashes, for the people who like to be in front of it, David Cobb from Tennessee, the rookie, who he is set to return in the next week or two. I can't recall. He's practicing already. And so he sounds like he will be full go as soon as he's back. Do they need a running back there? And Tennessee has no running back.

Nobody has really taken that job. So I imagine that David Cobb is going to be given an opportunity to take the job. What do you guys think? Let's move to tight ends. What do you think about Eric Ebron's performance coming back off an injury? Five for 89 and one. Love it. I like it a lot. He was a first round pick in the NFL for a reason. He's a great weapon. I think he's the number two receiver there. So I like Ebron a lot. Really overtate? Yeah.

Well, no, I'm not saying target-wise. Target-wise, Tate has received more than Ebron, but I believe he's their number two weapon. The same way you could say like Tyler Eifert is the number two, even though I don't think he's had the number two targets. I believe he has. Overhares. I would say Ebron is still the number three option, but he's a very, very strong option. He's a strong option, and he's a red zone option, and he has performed well when he's been active this year.

all the way through. So I really like Ebron if you need a tight end. If you're in, you know, if you decided you were going to roll out Heath Miller last week and you got a goose and you're like, need to move on, I would pay for Ebron. Yep. What about Clive Walford from Oakland? Now, he didn't do much in terms of targets and catches. He was two for 42. He did catch a touchdown, but the talent level of Walford is there. So does that mean anything going forward this year? I know that Oakland loves Walford.

I believe it was Del Rio was talking him up saying how he's a complete tight end. He's going to be a monster moving forward. I do not think it will be this year. That's the question. Will he kind of materialized this year? He's only got five catches on the entire season to this point. I would play him if they could play themselves. And if he could match up against the Raiders, I think Walford would be a really good option.

In a mirror match. In all of our fantasy football practice leagues? Yes. In your practice leagues, he's a beast. Madden. Madden get that Raider versus Raider action. Yeah. So, okay. So I just wanted to mention him because he's going to show up on everybody's basically they're, you know.

ESPN boards when you look at last week and how the production turned out and things like that. So let's talk quarterbacks. Is there anybody at the quarterback position that you're running to grab or sign? I mean, we're going to get into our streaming section momentarily so we can kind of hold on to that if you want. I don't see anyone who I think has turned into an every week starter. Okay. So let's just... The only guy that you might want to...

look at grabbing if more long-term play is Tyrod Taylor, the more he gets dropped. And as he goes on by, you might want to stash him. Yep, that's a really good point because they're not getting it done there. They really could use Matt Castle. Whoops. That's not true. Nobody's ever really said that.

defensively this week, if you need to sign somebody right now, I always think signing a defense on Waver Day is the right move because you kind of beat people to the punch sometimes. They're paying attention to the Neram McFadens. They're not paying attention to the defense for the upcoming week. They're probably owned, but the Rams are... Yeah, just in case. The Rams are 30... They're going up against San Francisco at home. San Francisco gives up the absolute most points.

And we don't have them on this list, but the Jets may be available in your league if they got dropped for the biweek. Yes, they play Oakland. People didn't want them to play them against the Patriots. Where, man, we are having some sweet tech glitches today. Yeah. We're power in through people. Somebody's microphone needs to disconnect and reconnect or something. Well, don't do that. It's going to pop real loud. Well, you know.

We're moving on. We'll survive. The Cardinals, like we talked about, might be playing against Johnny Mansell, or they're playing against McCown, who turns the ball over frequently as well. And if for any reason, people dropped Denver because of the by-week, you have to pick them up. Oh, yeah, that would be insane if somebody dropped Denver. It probably happened. Yeah, somewhere. Somewhere has. Look on your league, because if so, that's... And obviously publicly shame that person. Okay. The Packers, Dewface Denver. Do you like the Packers?

Yeah. Okay, because Denver is turning the ball over. And then Seattle plays Dallas this week. So that's another great pickup. And make sure. Huh? Yeah. I mean, I'm saying I guess if Denver is available, then maybe Seattle's available. Oh, you're just saying because they're most likely not available. Yeah. They're a great play. Yeah. You're right. They're probably not available in many leagues. So let's go ahead and talk about quarterback streamers. Full stream ahead.

All right, guys, who do you have for this week? Who do you like in terms of quarterbacks? Can I really disagree? I really disagree with Mike's. I just want to go backwards one step to you need to look on your waivers because Brandon McManus has been dropped in 30% of leagues as a kicker because he was on by. So that's another waiver option. Just click that little kicker tab and see if he's there. If he's there and you don't have Guskowski, pick him up. Yeah, that's fair.

I have Ryan Fitzpatrick this week in my streaming. It was my streaming quarterback of the week. He faces Oakland. Oakland's 21st versus the pass. I just like what Fitzpatrick's been doing from a consistency standpoint. So the buy-in here is that he will get a touchdown, a couple of touchdowns to the Marshall Decker stack.

Do you guys like Fitzpatrick as a streaming option this week, or are you just kind of neutral on him? He was one of mine that I considered. Oakland seems like, I mean, if you take away the garbage time, Oakland was pretty good, but they did give it up late. So I considered him, so I have no problem with this pick at all. The only concern for Fitzpatrick is it's a cross-country voyage, and that's not usually the best for NFL teams. Oh, so moving forward for me.

Andy just says he disagrees with me, but I'm going with the Tennessee quarterback, whether it be Marietta or Metenberger, against the Texans. The Texans are giving up multi-touchdowns to the quarterback every game but two. They don't know how to tackle, apparently. They gave up four. Ryan Tannenhill put up one of the most efficient quarterback games probably of all time last week with one incompletion, four touchdowns. The previous week, over 303.

300 yards and three touchdowns to Blake Bordels. This is the team that gave up three touchdowns to Alex Smith. I just, I don't believe in the Texans defense. Do you want to do a water bet that the Tennessee quarterback does not throw two touchdowns? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Waterbed. Yeah, absolutely. I'm not trying to disagree, just to disagree. I just think Houston at home.

after that defeat. This is the final moment for them. And Tennessee has been so pathetically bad. I mean, they're just terrible. They couldn't do anything last week, so I'm just going to take that bet. They did manage to shut down the Atlanta offense, though. And if they can hang with the Atlanta offense, a Houston Texan offense minus Arian Foster, I don't think Tennessee has a problem with that. It's very possible. So, Jason, who is the guy that...

that jumps off the page for you as a streaming quarterback option for those who are looking for one. When I was looking at it, who jumped off the page was actually Marcus Marriota to me, if that's the question. However, he's injured, so I didn't go with him. For me, I like Jay Cutler. Jay Cutler has, you know, normally when I stream a quarterback, the more important thing to me is the defensive matchup. I like...

caring more about that than the quarterback. Obviously, the quarterback plays a role. But in this case, it's kind of the flip. Minnesota is not bad against the past. They're pretty solid. Yeah, no, I know. But I think Jay Cutler is being underrated right now. He hasn't had Alshan for, you know, the majority of the weeks this year. Last week, I think he put up over 350 yards. Alshan is back. This game is at home. So I just like the...

I like the fact that you can get a talented quarterback who has the capabilities of putting up a lot of yards and throwing for touchdowns at home off of waivers. So I'm going cut it. Jay Cutler, just so people, and this is our league scoring, so it might be a little bit different than yours. Last three weeks, 24 points, 24 points, 24 points. Jay Cutler, and just a reminder, it's because I don't know, I just have a soft spot in my heart for Jay Cutler. But last year was,

for almost half the season was one of a top five quarterback. Are you the only person in the world that has a soft spot in their heart for Jay Cutler? Jay Cutler's mom loves him a lot. Not from what I've heard. Whoa! He was his wife. Jake Cutty's Mom on Blast. Jake Cutty's Mom on Blast. Wow, there he has a history of not cleaning his room. Let me just put it that way. I don't doubt that. It smells very much like cigarette smoke in Jay Cutler's room.

Yeah, well, that's because Maddie Snapback was over there, and they were getting into trouble. Ah, this goes way back. That discussion goes way, way back. All right. Well, on that horrible audio glitch, I think that signals the end of this episode of the fantasy footballers. Be sure to check out, check us out tomorrow.
