Week 8 Waivers + Full Stream Ahead, Iron Pants - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/26

finds empty space in the middle of the field and he's athletic enough to... It's so tough. I know that he doesn't have a lot of receptions. That's why I kind of compared him to Tunyon. It's not just that. I mean, the two monster games where he was the number one tied in on the week, but other than that, 15 yards, 16 yards. Yeah, but you got a touchdown in one of those, right? Yeah, he did. He has five touchdowns in the last four weeks.

So I think he is. I'd play him over Mo'alley. Yeah, if you're in that position where you're looking for a desperation start against the Jets, you know, he could very easily break a tackle and take one of the house. One of his big games was against the Jacksonville Jaguars, you know, another one of those really, really poor tackling defenses. You are right, though. I mean, when Jamar Chase is taking the top off the defense on almost every play, there's opportunity there for misdirection and they're taking advantage.

I want to turn to the defensive side. Oh, it's a good week for defense. It really is. There's a lot of streaming options here. I mean, Buffalo, Buffalo is.

potentially was dropped because of the buy week. So they're the number one and they have Miami, Jacksonville, and the Jets. They are available in 32% of leagues. So it's still a minority. But everyone listening, go check. You might have a decent defense. And you don't even think about it. You're not even going to check your defensive waivers. Go check and see if Buffalo is there. Because if they are there, spend on them, acquire them. They will win a couple of weeks here with the, I mean.

The Dolphins, Jaguars, and Jets is just too good for who is. They're currently for fantasy, the number one fantasy scoring defense. Well, maybe not after this by week, but they were going into last week. They're going to dominate. Both sides of the Denver Washington game seemed fine to me. Denver struggling on offense tremendously. There's an errant, nasty interception every week from Teddy Bridgewater. And then the Washington football team.

Is it disaster on offense, too, and the Denver Broncos are a better defense than Washington is. Would you play those guys over the Bengals? No. Because I would go, I would order them, the Buffalo Bills and the Bengals against the Jets. What about the Steelers, though, against maybe no Baker? I mean, I think that the Steelers defense, they were ferocious sackwise last time we solved it. They're a very good defense, and I like playing a good defense against a mediocre quarterback. But Case Keenum is, you know, to say it's, you know,

without Baker really doesn't do service to Case Keenham. Case Keenham protects the ball and is a very serviceable capable backup. So I don't think it's like I'm a little upset for, you know, the Cincinnati Bengals play that they got Joe Flacco. Joe Flacko's obviously not good, but I was really excited about first start for unknown rookie. And I think the Steelers are my favorite stream.

Are they? Play of the week. Even though Cleveland's getting their second best running back? They're such a good. Oh, yes. They're so good against running backs. I mean, they are. They're seventh in the league against them. You can't stop de Ernest and Nicholas Chubb? Yeah, if you, yes, you can. When you want to, you can. And then you got to make Keeskina beat you with no wide receivers. Wait, who was your number one running back? Deerunis Johnson. I thought you were giving it to hunt. Oh, no. But, yeah. You know the Steelers play the Detroit.

the Chicago Bears and the Detroit lines the next two weeks. I would sign them and I would play them this week. Yeah. And they would be the priority for me over any other team in the bills. You convinced me. If it's just the one week, I would go at the Bengals, but you've got to be forward facing here. And that's, that's not bad. Ironically, the Bengals then get Cleveland the next week. All good options. How about would you go down to not as good of defenses like the,

Falcons and Eagles who have good matchups. Eagles playing against Detroit, the Falcons against the Panthers. The Falcons this week are okay. They really are. They're at home. They have Carolina. Carolina is, what do you pass for 111 yards? I mean, they pulled them out for PJ Walker and then said he's the guy. I mean, this is a, without Christian McCaffrey, this is an abysmal offense. Yeah, I don't disagree. And the Falcons were okay last week.

For fantasy. And Christian McCaffrey, I'm doing the math of my head, still needs one more week. At least, yeah. Does he just refuse to come back? Could it be that bad that he's like? I hope so. Oh, because you finally moved on. I finally moved on. Let's talk. Quarterback options. Full stream ahead. My stream of the week at the quarterback position, Kurt Cousins against Dallas. Highest over under the week. Cousins has been reliable this year. He's available in a lot of leagues.

Dallas has allowed the third most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, huge yardage numbers. It's going to be a glorious week for Kirk Cousins. And he has shown a propensity and ability to bring it in a shootout type of game. You saw this with Matthew Stafford against their matchups twice here with Detroit. They'd be in high scoring affairs. Brought up the 55 point over under. Cousins is a smash play.

Yeah, I'm going to go with Carson Wins. We talked about Tennessee. They're allowing the fifth most passing yards, fourth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. And that includes the complete shutdown of Patrick Mahomes this last week. But Tennessee was at home. Tennessee's only played three road games so far. Week two, Russ Wilson cooked them. 343 and two. Week four, Zach Wilson. Remember his good game? I do. That was against Tennessee on the road. Are you and Russ like so close, like such?

good friends that you go Russ now, like no Russell? How dare you? I mean, you just, you said Russ. You seem like, dare you. What's interesting. It's a, I say Russ to be disrespectful to Russell Wilson, divisional opponent of my Arizona Cardinals. What's interesting is I've heard him, like people call him Russ all the time. It's Russ. His best friends do, yeah. But, let Russ cook. Like, that was the whole thing. But I don't think I've ever actually heard it Russ Wilson.

That's where it got strange is that you combined the abbreviation. Formal and formal. Let Russ Wilson cook. That sounds like a completely different human being. Yeah. Well, he still torched him on the road. Trevor Lawrence was the quarterback night. So I think at home Carson Wentz is going to be great. All right. Don't do it. Someone's got to do it. Someone's got to do it. Someone's got to put on the iron pants.

Oh, my gosh. What does that even mean? He means you've got to protect your crotch, my friend. All right. It's Daniel Jones, baby. It's Daniel Jones against the Kansas City Chiefs. It worked yet again, even with the, the, the Tennessee Derek Henry's. Brian Tanhill still got it done. He was a great option this last week. And Derek Henry threw a touchdown against him. Daniel Jones.

We're hoping that he gets at least a weapon or two back, but the Kansas City defense just gives up so many points in real life and to fantasy quarterbacks that you can stream him this week. Now, you have Daniel Jones and Kirk Cousins. I do. Who are you favoring? I will play Kurt Couss. Yes, you will. If that's the case.

That means that Daniel Jones is about to go hamper. And that means Kirk Cud is going to fail because that decision you have had to make. You've had to choose between those two guys every week in Dynasty. Oh, and I did it wrong again last week. Oh, man. Can you just trade one of them away? I want to. Just cut one. Just. Just. In a Dynasty. Yes. In a Dynasty. You've hurt me too much. See you later. Unbelievable. Okay. Well, let's thank Traeger once again for supporting the show.

I just put out on my IG a few days ago. We did the Big Burger night on the Trigger. Big burgers. The weather here right now, this is when you are happy to be in Arizona. It's beautiful every night, which means I want to grill every single night. And they were spectacular. I'm going to grill the night. It's been like a week. Can I come over? Absolutely. All are welcome.

So fire up that Tragerwood fired grill. You can do it on Game Day. You can monitor it with the Wi-fire technology. Beautiful. And, you know, my version, my grill. The Timberline, I've got that little pass-through for the probe so I can check the meat temperature. I have always been terrified, always, of grilling chicken. Because I'm a chicken when it comes to chicken. My motto has always been, it better be done.

And so my chicken has always been overdone until I got the Treggard. Yeah, then you have confidence. Yes, now it's fantastic. You cook it to that temperature. It tells you to cook it too. And then you're like, oh, this is perfect chicken. My phone says, go get the chicken. All right, Trager.com slash footballers, if you're interested in checking out some of their grills, Trager.com slash footballers. That's it. What a great show.
