Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 6 Waivers & QB Streamers, Breaking News

If you're going to give him 10 to 15 carries a game, something could happen. It's better than what was happening for him in New Orleans. Yeah, you definitely want to pick him up off the off chance that he has, you know, a really good game. Tampa Bay does not have a healthy defense right now. This is going to be a home game. So if he comes out this week... Brooks, can you get me his ownership percentage, please? Yeah, if he comes out this week and...

has a good game. That's a quick week. That'd be a quick turnaround to get him featured. Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it though. I mean, he's Adrian Peterson. 37%. Really? Yeah. Okay. So Adrian Peterson becomes a very interesting pick up. And if he has a really good week, I would immediately trade him. I mean, I just would. This is a winnable matchup. Andrew Luck will not play in week six. Derek Carr is expected to play. We will see. Yeah, I'll believe that.

Yeah, we'll see. Julio Jones is expected to play. He was in week six. He was back at practice. I've got a question with Julio Jones. I saw this on Twitter. I know my answer, but I thought it was a really interesting question. The question was, should they trade their Jordy Nelson for Julio Jones? Oh, okay. Just a trade question. You know, if you've got, if you've got Jordy, would you rather have Julio? Would you rather have Julio?

Man. I mean, it's a tough question because who is a very tough question. A couple. Julio is past the by week. That was my, that was my big table. So you get an extra game. Yeah. When when the question was asked, it all came down to whether or not he's going to play this week. And it looks like he is now. If that's the case, I would, I would rather have Julio because you skip that by. And you got to keep in mind, Jordy had the hamstring issue that took him out of the second half of that game or the fourth quarter. So I, there you go.

Yeah, it's very close. Those guys were actually very close to me in season-long rankings. They were in the same tier. So that's a tough call. Blah Powell, he injured his calf during the, during last week's game. And there's been a report that Elijah McGuire will see a heavy workload against the New England Patriots. Are you buying into that? 100% I'm buying into that. I don't think they have a choice. They're not going to have Matt Forte. They're not going to have Belal Powell. So Elijah McGuire will be.

the main guy. They'll, they'll, you know, is he start worthy? Yes. I would, I would say he's start worthy. Titans coach Mike Mularky said on Monday that Marcus Mario could be a game time decision in week six. So fantasy owners, good luck. Good luck with that. The old GTD, which is the absolute worst. The lines are optimistic that.

optimistic that Matthew Stafford will play. You saw him hobbling around. I would expect him to play. Do you have any reason to doubt Stafford? No. No, Stafford will play. Bill's coach, Sean McDermott, said Charles Clay. He underwent knee surgery. It was a scope. He's expected to miss multiple weeks. Should be back. But Mr. Necessary has now paved the way for Mr. Very Necessary. We will talk about it in the waiver wire. Speaking of Jordy Nelson, he says he's fine.

after missing the final drive. So, George, straight from the source, he says he's fine. Everyone's fine until their hamstring is, is not fine. I mean, the thing is, is they were smart with what they did with him, resting him. You know, he kept his helmet on. I think he could have come back if he had to, but they realize how valuable Jordi is. And I think they're going to rest him this week. He should really, truly be fine. But with a hamstring issue,

You know, you just can't control that. You could do all the stretching in the world, but if your hamstring is aggravated, it's very easy to re-agravate. And if he pulls it and ends up missing a game or two, you know, you can't be shocked. You've got to pay attention to hamstrings. News out of New York for the New York Football Giants. Oh, it is grim. So we had Otto Beckham. We already knew he was getting ankle surgery out for the season. Now things have escalated for Brandon Marshall, who will undergo season-ending surgery.

Season? Season. Oh, yes, in career? You think this is a wrap for Brandon Marshall? Yeah, I think, I mean, I don't know. Maybe he doesn't want to go out like that. Did he sign a two-year contract? It was a two-year, yes. So maybe he'll be back next year, but it could be a career ending. Yeah, it wouldn't shock me if this is it for Brandon Marshall. I think you're on to it. And they also lost Dwayne Harris. So.

Sterling Shepard. I mean, here's the reality. I said last week, or last week, I said yesterday that I don't want anything to do with basically any New York Giants right now, as depleted as their weapons on offense just became and how bad their offensive line is and their upcoming schedule for the next two weeks, just horrible all the way around. But Sterling Shepard is a must grab now at this point because he is the wide receiver one.

rest of season, and he is a talented wide receiver. So while I don't love his upcoming two matchups, and I probably won't play them these next two weeks, over the course, there's still a lot of season left in fantasy football. And you're going to get a lot of value out of Sterling Shepard this year. The Browns have declined to name their starter. Are you expecting it to be Kevin Hogan or Deshaun Kaiser? Kevin Hogan. That's what I expect as well. You look at how they're talking about Kaiser.

And they're being like, well, you know, if we decide to sit him, it's going to be good for him. You know, so you're just, you're preparing Kaiser and everybody for him to sit. But we, you know, we haven't made a decision yet. But listen, if we're, if, if he's the backup, that's really good for him. Now, I don't know what we're going to do. But it would be so great if he was the backup. But I have no promises.

Sure. The Vikings did release Stephen Ridley. It was to make way for Michael Floyd. Michael Floyd, who caught a pass. He got, well, he got on the field because Stefan Diggs missed a whole bunch of the game. And the Bucks, we had an old yeller, old yeller situation. They've released Nick Folk. They have signed. Kicker. Patrick Murray. So adjust your fantasy rosters. Yeah, if you have a Tampa Bay kicker.

adjust your fantasy roster, even if it is actually Patrick Murray, because he will now stink. The Tampa Bay kicker, by rule, is not allowed to. There is a poltergeist. For sure. Down there in Tampa Bay. I'll tell you what, if I was a kicker and, like, I'm on the streets and I need a job, and Tampa Bay is like, hey, how about me? I'm good, man. I'm good. Safeway also offered me a job at my local grocery store, so I think I'm going to take that. Bloody Mary will not.

Have anything to do with me if I'm working a Safeway? Yeah, for sure. All right. We're going to get into the waiver wires before that.

That is draft.com slash ballers. You ready for the waiver wire, Jay? Put me in, coach. Put me in, coach.

All right, we're going to start it off with some wide receivers. These are guys that they are probably owned. We know that their ownership is higher. These first guys we're going to talk about. But they could be there. You need to make sure you just take a look. Always take a little peek. First up, Sterling Shepherd just mentioned them. Make sure he is not available in your league. He's owned in 63% of leagues, but take a look. Danny Amandola, same ownership percentage.

I mean, he's just too important to that offense if he's out there to not be picked up and played. And the number one wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers. Oh, is that official? That is official. Devin Funches. Would you rather have Devin Funches or Kelvin Benjamin? I would rather have Kelvin Benjamin. I would rather have Devin Funches.

Rest the season water bet. Oh, but I don't know where the button is for that. Well, then we can't do it. Oh, that means it's not official? No, it's not official if we don't have a button. Oh, it's official. Waterbed. Put it on the board, Brooks. All right, so we'll get into the main pickups. John Brown, smoke. He showed up a little bit. I mean, he got a touchdown. So he had an okay fantasy day. The good news for John Brown was he out snapped Geron.

Brown. He out snapped J.J. Nelson. They had eased him in for one game, and then they went full, near full snaps for John Brown. He is widely available. He gets to take on Tampa Bay and then the Rams. I mean, these two juicy matchups for John Brown. John Brown is beyond the best wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals right now. I mean, you know, no disrespect to Larry Fitzgerald. But when John Brown... You say the most versatile.

Because he can actually go deep and he can play those short intermediate routes while Fitz is. Yeah, for fantasy purposes, for Bruce Aryan's system, you have to have that speedy receiver that can go long. And they just haven't had that without John Brown. If he is truly healthy and, you know, he seems to be, I can't bank on him for the rest of season to not get re-injured again because of his sickle cell trait.

But while he's out there, you, yeah, pick him up and start him. Mike Wallace has shown up now for two straight weeks. Are you picking him up? It was only three targets. I think if I am desperate, I may, and we're talking, I'm not spending hardly any fab on Mike Wallace. I'm putting a one or a $2 bid if I need to add a wide receiver.

Yeah, I mean, even still your passing. I mean, Joe Flacko's looked better the last couple weeks. He has. And, and, and, and that's worth noting the Ravens offense. You know, I would much rather have still, I would much rather have Jeremy Macklin. Jeremy Macklin is not in our waiver wire show, Jay. He is. You can't pick him up. If, if, if Jeremy Maclin is out there, pick him up. Go, go to the owner of Jeremy Macklin and say, Jason from the fantasy footballer said I can pick him up. So.

So pick him. So please drop him. Just give him to me. I'm not super excited about either guy because of the offense, but the offense is getting better. The problem with Mike Wallace is, yes, this is two weeks in a row where he's had over 100 yards. Big plays. Three targets. Yeah. I mean, you just can't rely on three targets with that offense.
