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

I'll repeat that name because maybe you've never even heard that name. Ricardo Lewis, five for 71 on eight targets. Now we kind of, we played this. Yeah. We played this game. We played this game with Richard Higgins. Yes, that's, that is very true. But Ricardo Lewis has been getting involved. There were all those reports during the off season from Cleveland beat reporters saying there is a slim chance that Ricardo Lewis passes Cory Coleman on the depth chart. So the team likes him.

Yeah, he didn't, by the way. Yes. I'm just saying. He never got it done. But Corey Coleman is that he has, actually, he has passed Cory Coleman on the depth chart right now. I would, I would prefer to say Cory Coleman has taken himself off the depth chart. Tomato tomato potato potato. Listen, you can chase Ricardo Lewis if you want, but here's why I'm not going to chase Ricardo Lewis. One is because it's the Cleveland Browns. Okay.

That's a strong point. That's the whole thing. I mean, that was the entire argument. Is it Deshaun Kaiser or is it Kevin Hogan? It doesn't matter. You went to rock on it. Because of because of. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because it's the, I mean, it's just, will he have a couple more good games? Yes. Could it be this week? Sure. I'm not chasing the Cleveland Brown's number one wide receiver. All right. As a rule. Here's the guy that I would.

that I think I would be targeting, depending on whether you're looking this week or long term, if I'm looking this week, I really like Taylor Gabriel. Yeah. Taylor Gabriel, he was goose last time. He was not last week because they were on by, but he had five targets. And the week before that, he had a monster game. Muhammad Sanoo is going to miss a few weeks. Exactly. And with Sanoo out coming off a by playing Miami at home.

Taylor Gabriel is available in the vast majority of leagues, and he could end up being one of those starts where you start him, and he ends up with 100 yards in a touchdown. Yeah, he's a great spot start this week. Roger Lewis from the New York Giants, he has elevated himself into a starting role. Again, I would say Brandon Marshall and Otto Beckham had de-elevated themselves. And again, I will say tomato tomorrow. All right. Half cup is half full for Roger Lewis. Any interest? Can you trust?

Roger Lewis, do you think, like, I know that the next couple weeks are, are really tough. I mean, again, just since we were talking Sterling Shepard, this week it's at Denver, which is the worst you could have. No, thank you. Then, oh, good, they come home. Oh, wait, it's the Seattle Seahawks. Well, that, that's no good. And then it's a bye week. So the next three weeks. So pick Roger Lewis up in three to four weeks is what you're saying. In four weeks. Maybe. All right.

And then Juju Smith Schuster, he has shown, I know Big Ben, you know, failed. But he has been the guy who has been heavily targeted, playing all the snaps. Eli Rogers is out of the way. I think Juju Smith-Schuster has both the talent and the role to be fantasy relevant here. I mean, they played Jacksonville, which is one of the most difficult matchups. I would pick up, I would pick up some juju.

Can I interest you in a wide receiver from the Jets, either Jermaine Curse or Robbie Anderson going up against the New England Patriots? Going up against the New England Patriots is always a good thing right now. Yeah, I mean, I guess if I had to take one of them, if I had to take one of them, I would take Germain Curst. They are a startable asset, much more so than a Roger Lewis or even a Ricardo Lewis for me. Sure. All right, moving into the meat, the running back position. These guys are.

are probably owned, but you need to check and find out if they are there. Buck Allen, sub 60% had another big game. They have to use. Once again, Baltimore begrudgingly has to use Buck Allen. We need an update on Terrence West. Terrence West is out for several weeks. Is that what that's the update? Yes. They actually signed Bobby Rainey. Terrence West is done. So Buck Allen and Alex Collins.

You just got to check. I know we've said their names of the last couple of weeks, so you probably already have them if they were available on your league. But double check and pick them up if they're still out there. Same with, I mean, Aaron Jones. This is so upsetting. Oh, America. Our League of Record. So one of our top 10 tips. Yes. On the fantasy footballers, we have tips and tricks.

that we try to give you to help you win at your league. Well, one of those tips is to... Drop it like it's hard. Drop it like it's hard. To check the drops every day. Every day. You've got to do it every day. Not just waiver day. Not just waiver day. You never know who gets dropped. And in our league of record, Aaron Jones this past week after he was picked up for a lot of fab, was inexplicably dropped.

And none of us saw it. No, we did not. And then he got picked up for zero dollars in our league because one person saw it. We failed. Yeah, we failed. We failed. Don't fail like we did this week. Yeah. Look for Aaron Jones. Coming off a bye, Alvin Camara. And Rob Kelly is only owned in 50% of leagues. I mean, this is absolutely ridiculous. The starting running back for Washington. Now that being said.

He didn't practice Monday. This is a new injury with his ankle. So I'll throw Somaget P-Rine in there, too. Both of those guys need to be owned, need to be picked up. Somaget could be a great start this week if Rob Kelly is out. All right. Moving into the main waiver wire pickups for running back. We already talked about Adrian Peterson, and we briefly touched on Elijah McGuire. But Elijah McGuire. Are you going to drop Fab?

Are you going to fab explode on Elijah? I would spend $10 a fab on Elijah Maguire. I think you're going to have a multiple week rental who could turn into a full season. I mean, because this is a team despite the fact that are they on a three-game winnings? They are. The New York Jets. I believe that they are leading the division. Oh, my goodness gracious. What is this world?

Maybe they're not playing for the future. Their future is now. Or what if they were just doing everything wrong when they were actually trying to win. And now they're trying to lose. And all they know how to do is do things wrong. And so they're winning. This is. We're on to something. We need a thesis here. But Elijah McGuire, he's looked good. He's got more and more involved. And now he has the opportunity to be the pretty much every down back. I think you do spend money on that. You pick him up. And.

you know, hope for the best. Wayne Galman looks like he should be the starting running back for the Giants. The matchups are tough. Brutal. Yeah, brutal, really. But he's getting the work and the five receptions. I would make a zero dollar bid on Wayne Galman because he is worth picking up.

But I would put a few dollars on him. I'm just, I'm not going to play him. These next two weeks and then a buy, that's where it's like, if no one's going to pick him up, I'll pick him up for free. But I feel like he could be a landmine. One of those guys, you pick up and you go, okay, I should be able to start him. He's a starter. And then he craps your team. Marlon Mack. That's the guy. Jason's rising star this week. He's, he's available in nearly all leagues. And now we have Chuck Bugano saying, I think it would be wise to try and find more ways to get him.

Touches. Yeah, he's really good. I think he's going to move up ahead of Robert Turbin. He's going to be involved in the passing game. And when Andrew Luck gets back, which obviously is not this week, it'll probably be end of October or the first week in November. Marlon Mack is then going to transform from being a really good player in a bad situation to a really good player in a pretty good situation on a great offense. And he's at the bottom of the list just because he was a Monday night game.

or Monday night player, but Jerich McKinnon, I think, is the number one running back pickup this week. Would you agree or disagree? Um, yeah, I guess I would agree. I mean, you, you've got, you saw him utilized in the passing game in a way that says he'll be able to stick and, you know, his, his situation isn't changing. This pains you so much. It does. I just, I don't like. Oh, I mentioned to you that I have a comp for Derek McKinnon that I think it's not perfect.

There's a little, there's some discrepancies, but Jerich McKinnon is to you as Melvin Gordon is to me. No. Yes. No. Yes. Yes. Athletic. Give you either huge splash plays or give you nothing. Heavily involved in the passing game. Now Gordon has less competition theoretically unless the, the Vikings decide to bury Latavius Murray. But you just. No. Yep. No. Yep. We see them the same way. Here's a difference.

Here's the big difference. With unbelievable amounts of opportunity, we've now seen Jerich McKinnon get it done once. We've, no, no, he had basically three quarters of a year with a terrible offensive line, and it was really bad. Melvin Gordon's rookie year, tons of opportunity, really bad. Sophomore year turned it on. All right, pick him off. What are you spending on Jerich McKinnon? A lot.

Are you really? Yeah. He's the starting running back who is also a pass catching run. Are you talking like 20, 25? Yes, at least. At this point in the season, you got to get a running back. I would pick up Jerk McKinn. Man, I'm going to put in a zero dollar bid just because I hate him. And America, I am not a McKinnon Shrewther. I am not part of that group who has propped him up for years and years. But the opportunity is there. The offense is good. They have great pass catchers. And the offensive line is much better than it was last year.

I think you have to pick them up. Yeah, no, you're right. And, you know, we want people to succeed. I think you do pick up. Despite our own grudges. Yeah, I mean, despite our own grudges, you know, sometimes we're wrong. And I'm holding out. I'm waiting a couple more weeks to see if I'm wrong on McKinn. No apologies here yet. You know, deeper, deeper options. If you want to look at Shane, we talked about the terrible.

nature of the giant schedule and all their weapons are gone. But their weapons being gone is actually why Shane Boreen, who has been utilized so well in the passing game. Think about week one. O'Dell Beckham wasn't there. He had nine receptions. Now O'Dell Beckham's gone. Brandon Marshall's gone. They're going to use Shane Marine in the passing game. He'll probably end up with 10 receptions for like five yards. But yeah.

If you're in a PPR, you pick them up. You get points. Fooklam, we are going into week six. That means it is time that you can start adding those handcuffs. So make sure you're paying attention to that. Yeah, I would say Matt Brata is another guy that is virtually a must pickup with what's been going on with Carlos Hyde. I still think that he's just a handcuff, though. I think he's the backup. I agree. But.

The difference in why I'm saying he's more of a must pickup is because Carlos Hyde is currently dealing with injury and is always dealing with injury. So his path towards relevance seems much easier and obvious than, say, Austin Echler, who is the new handcuff for Melvin Gordon, it's going to take a complete injury to Melvin Gordon, who I guess he got injured late last year, but he doesn't have that label.

as an injury-prone guy. Which is weird, because he's never finished a season. Melvin Gordon. Melvin Gordon's never finished season? Correct. Are you going back in college? I'm talking about pros. Oh, well, he's in his, like, third year and he missed three games last year. Yeah, but I'm just saying that it's weird that these running backs, they miss, they, they, they.

season-ending surgery with three or four games left, and they get labeled injury-prone. But now Melvin Gordon somehow has escaped that, I guess, because his fantasy production was so high last year. I think it's because of the injury. It depends on what the injury is, whether you're injury-prone or, you know, nobody can avoid, you know, tearing an ACL. What's like, Keenan Allen was labeled injury-prone? But Keenan Allen's been injured by like 30 different things.

That's what I'm saying. It's like, similar to Carlos Hyde. Is it your, is it your hamstring? Is it your knee? Is it your kidney? Kidney. Kidney. Like Keenan Allen. Well, and Jason, you're talking about Matt Beretta. I mean, he already out snapped Hyde last week. Yes. Right. Yeah, because Hyde was dealing with the injury. Alet or allegedly that berida had the hot hand. Moving to the tight end position. Make sure you check for Evan Ingram. He. But, but my. Yes, voice of public opinion. Evan Ingram.

had all the opportunity in a great matchup last week and he got a goose egg. Yes, he did. I played him. You know what, voice of public opinion? I played him too and he cost me a matchup that was near and dear to my heart. I lost because of him, but I will continue to play him. His opportunity has to go up and I have no explanation for the goose egg right now.
