Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups, Streaming Options, News

That last play called. Oh, fantasy-wise. Antonio Gates. Welcome back. There you go. Yeah. I would also say one other thing that stuck out to me was the Marcus Wheaton 72-yard touchdown. I watched that, and I went, Martavis Bryant needs to be on this field. He would, I mean, that's his role. The next play, or the next play from scrimmage after that, they tried to go 75 to Jarius Hayward Bay, and I think he even had him. His arm is big.

I mean, Vic can still sling it. Well, he actually under through. No, I know. But he hit waiting on the one before, and he's going for these super long throws.

We got an Arizona Cardinals game on a Thursday night coming up here against the Vikings. How do you think I'm going to buy my tickets? I bet you use the seat geek. Seat geek. That's right. All right, let's talk about, I hope they take that as their official say. Boom! All right, let's go ahead and talk waivers, guys. Put me in, coach. All right, we're going to go through the best waiver wire pickups this week, and I'm going to give you guys some opportunities to tell me, would you sign these guys and drop

blank. So I'll give you some, some options of guys that might be on your roster. Would you, you know, would you sign these guys and drop somebody else? So Willie Sneed, we're going wide receivers first, okay? So we talked about Willie Sneed. Big game, right? Mm-hmm. I believe he was, what, six for 147, something like that?

Yeah, I think 146, yes. Okay, so he, and he's been on the field for about 70 plus percent of the snaps? His snap? This last game. His snap count has gone up every single week, and this last week he played over 70 percent of the snaps, which is exactly what you want. Do you want to know who had 55 percent of their snaps last week? Fifty-five! Brandon Cooks. Nope. All right, who? Colston, who is injured.

Ah. So just all the more, you know, targets to... So we're buying it to... Very few, but a couple of targets to go elsewhere. Okay. Would you drop Marvin Jones to sign Willie Sneat? Yes. Yes. I would. You would, huh? Yeah. Would you drop Ty Montgomery? I think so. Okay. What about Tori Smith? Yes.

Okay. So Sneed is a guy that is probably at the top of the list right now if he's sitting on your waiver. He is my top wide receiver had this week. Now another becoming consistent value is Alan Hearns. Hopefully he picked him up two weeks ago. Hopefully he picked him up two weeks ago. Hopefully he picked him up two weeks ago. He won matchups because of Alan Hearns. So if he's still sitting out there.

If all the hype is just Alan Robinson, there's another Allen in town. Yeah. And his name is Hearns. If you're an Allen wide receiver for Jacksonville, you're all right. And that's the rule. Yeah, Alan Hurons, Alan Robinson, Tim Allen. Let's go ahead and talk Alan Hurons then. Would you, uh, let's say you had Hearns and Robinson sitting on your roster together. You're still starting Robinson, right? Week in, week out, I'm starting Robinson. Is that a just, um,

you know, a target-based decision? No, I think it's a target and talent-based decision. So the upside of Hearns is that he's not going to face their number one guy, right? But that's what you get on every wide receiver, too, for every team. The reason the number one guy is guarding Alan Robinson is because he's a little bit more physically talented, he's a more gifted wide receiver, but he's also going to get the most targets. So it's both of those reasons. I really like both guys. I'd be willing to start both guys, but if I've got both,

I'm only going to start Alan Robbins. And it might be still fantasy mirage, but Blake Bortles is putting up spectacular fantasy numbers. I'm not buying in completely that he had turned around as a real-life quarterback, but the production is there right now. Would you rather start Alan Hearns week-to-week or John Brown week-to-week? Ooh, that's tough. I would rather start John Brown.

What about Kindle Wright or Alan Hearns? Hearns. Yeah, I would go Hearns right now. Really? Okay. Right now, yeah. What about Brandon Cooks or Alan Hurons? Oh, Cooks. You got to go with Cooks. I'm giving you the tough ones. It's great because I say them, I don't have to answer. Yeah, I don't blame you if you want to start Hearns over Cooks. All right, let me give you some other wide receiver names to pay attention to. Jameson Crowder, Josh Huff, Dwayne Harris, Brandon LaFell.

And Marvin Jones, which I mentioned earlier, those are some guys that are not owned in a majority of leagues that are available. And these are injury kind of thing. With Josh Huff, we know that Aguilar is hurt. We don't know if he's going to miss time. Dwayne Harris, ODB, and Ruben Randall had hamstrings. So Dwayne Harris would be a good ad. And we got to, we should also have Leonard Hankerson.

Yeah. On here. If Julio on Thursday isn't going to go, then Hankerson seems like a mighty fine play. This is a lot of bye weeks this week. So that to me is a really good option. If you've got guys on buy, try to pick him up tomorrow. We'll know before Thursday.

we'll probably know on Thursday, whether or not he's going to sit. But if Julio sits, I think Hankerson is a mighty fine play. Mighty. Another guy on this list that I think is important to talk about, you mentioned it. But Dwayne Harris with ODB being out, that's a Monday night football game. Well, we don't know if he's out. We just... No, no, no. I guess that's true. I'm saying with the question mark of his hamstring, if he practices and reaggresses it or anything like that, he's a Monday night game. And that's always that there's that pro and con, right? He's got a day of extra rest.

but he's also after you can make lineup decisions because you don't know until Monday whether or not. So if you've got him, Harris is not a bad ad for your team. Yeah, I mean, Harris kind of represents maybe what you saw this past week with Marquise Wilson in Chicago, where opportunity is there if...

guys are sitting. He's not a, you know, I'd rather sign Willie Sneed because you have a year-long value to a guy. Same with James and Crowder. Like, I like the talent. I like how he's being used in a PPR format. But when Deshaun Jackson comes back and snap counts go down for Crowder, it's going to be hard to rely on a guy like that. And so, and same, you know, Huff. Huff was the fourth or fifth most targeted wide receiver this past week. I think that is not, he's not somebody I'm openly endorsing.

Believe it or not. These guys are more like one week. Yep. If you have a problem. And they're the ones that are going to be signed in a lot of leagues regardless just because of good big weeks. And Brandon Lafell, he's coming back from the pub. All news is that he is on schedule. So I believe he's eligible to play in week seven. Eight. Week eight? Which is why I would wait one more week. I'm pretty positive. It's eight because I've got him on one of my main leagues. I'm going to look that up. But Lafell, I mean, the Patriots are.

destroying, I don't know if you guys have noticed this, but the New England Patriots are scoring a lot of points. And nobody has really stepped up to take the role that Lafell played last year. They have tried everybody. Nobody's hitting that deep threat. So Lafelle could be, he could come back in and be a great option right away. He was really good when, you know, last year. You see here they were working out for their emergency list?

The Patriots? Yeah. Who are they not is the question? Hakeem Nix. Oh, yeah, of course. All right, running backs. Let's talk running backs. The big stories, Jamal Charles, the big injury. Sorry for him. You know, he's a great player. He's a great ambassador of the game. He's been a consistent. If he comes back from this and still plays well, I'm just going to be all the more endeared to Mr. Jamal Charles. So Charkandric West, Nile Davis. We talked about it earlier. West is the guy you want.

However, let's say you had, I don't know, 80 bucks left out of your $100 fab budget. How would you break that up across these guys? Would you want to try to sign them both? Would you just try to spend money on West? In a fab system, you know, you've got to pay attention to the amounts of money your other teammates have. You need to especially look at the Jamal Charles owner and see how much does he have because I would imagine the Jamal Charles owner.

is going to be willing to put a lot of money in there because we know they have a need of running back. I would put, what I would do in a league, I'm not wanting necessarily both of the guys on my team, but I would put a hefty bid on Charcantric West, and then I would put a mild bid on, you know, if I can get Nile Davis for cheap, you know, put a $5 bid out there. Sure the lottery ticket. Yeah, and if nobody grabs them, fine. But I don't want to spend a lot on a guy that is just a...

You hope that everybody's getting it wrong. Right. Yeah, I agree. I'm, it's, I've cooled a bit on Sharkandric, just of the unknown if he's going to be the guy in losing, I mean, losing a big part of your fab on this. Although the, but if your situation is you really need a running back, then I'm good with being aggressive to get West on your team. So let's say you really need a running back. But would you want to hedge? I mean, if you sign them both, you're hedging.

Because then you're probably going to get the guy that breaks out. Yeah, if you have the space on your bench, I guess. Yeah, you're right. So what are you, you've got $80, you're in desperate need. You have to have a running back if you want to make the playoffs. If you're talking 45 around a little, maybe a little bit more than that, I thought it would be more. Okay. No, I think if it was the guaranteed piece, I would have been like into 60 range.

But because he's not guaranteed, it's tough to not be able to roll that out for the next injury or something like. Brandon Lafell eligible to return in week seven. Oh. Oh, well then great. So add him. Yeah, I agree. And he's been a great stash in your O spot. And they're high-fiving. All right. And definitely grab Marvin Jones. He had another okay week, targeted a little bit more. You know, he's a big play guy too. Oh, that's a running back. We're on running back still. Okay. DMC. We talked about...

The news that broke on Sunday morning where DMC is going to be the new passing down back. He sure was. Nine receptions. But I think all nine came on the last drive. Well, not all of them, but a lot of them. So they come back from the by. Who's the quarterback? Castle. Oh, yeah. Hooray.
