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

Also do a quick peek for Camerbrate, but he's probably owned in your league. Yeah, I'm not as sold on Evan Ingraham. I realize that the targets had been there and they need him. But again, with the bad schedule coming up, the fact that he is still a rookie, I don't want to, you know, take the few games that he put together where he had targets and somewhat, you know, he was relevant. But it wasn't like he was lighting the world on fire and became this must start tight end.

There's two of those guys. Sure. But he's a must start. But my point is you're playing matchups with him, right? Uh-huh. The matchups aren't good. The Denver Broncos are a positive matchup for tight ends. I mean, they're giving up almost 10 points a game. All right. Well, we'll agree to disagree on Ingram. I'm just telling what the actual numbers say, the Broncos will be a top 10 play for tight ends. All right. Because the corners are so good that they have.

Here's a tight end that's available in more. A tight end that's available in more leagues. I would much rather have Austin Saffarian. You'd rather have him than Evan Engram. Yes. I would rather have Austin Saffarian Jenkins. Interesting. Please explain yourself. Austin Saffarian Jenkins is basically the number one target for the Jets. Yes. You've got a quarterback who has used the tight end before in Josh McCown.

While he's been out there, he's been getting more and more involved last week, five for 68 and a touchdown on nine. Oh, I'm sorry. You're looking at the wrong stat line. Six for 29. There you go. And a touchdown on eight targets. Yeah, I mean, I, I trust him more. And I, you know, you've got a better schedule coming up. I would rather have ASJ. All right. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers, put up a nice line. He's flashed a little bit. He's been.

inconsistent, but all tight ends have been inconsistent. Kobe Fleener available in over half of leagues. He's coming off of the buy week. I say you pick him up. I say you play him. Maybe we're talking recency bias, but I saw Ed Dixon drop almost two bills on the Detroit Lions and, oh, Kobe Fleener gets to play the Detroit Lions.

Yeah, I mean, I don't hate that at all because, like you said, the majority of tight ends you're grabbing, almost all of them, their floor is zero. You know, it's like no one's assure of even two points. Exhibit Evan Ingraham, exhibit Hunter Henry. Right. And your upside is really going to be, oh, good, he got six points, or you got a touchdown.

And if you're talking about a tight end that's got the opportunity to get touchdowns, Kobe Fleener with Drew Breez coming off a buy, yeah, I don't mind that at all. The aforementioned Ed Dixon, are you buying in to the point that you're going to pick him? You're a Charles Clay owner. You're trying to grab some tight ends. Yeah, I stuck with Ed Dixon. You pick him up? Yeah, I think you can pick him up. But he is far less likely to get a touchdown. I mean, you compare him to Kobe Fleener. I feel like what you're doing is you're saying, okay, Ed Dixon.

He's probably going to get me five, six points. I mean, it's better than a lot of the tight ends out there, but it's irrelevant. I mean, so I guess I'm talking myself out of Ed Dixon, the more that I think about it. Because I want that. That's what we're here to do. I want the touchdown upside. If all of these guys are going to suck, who cares if I get the 45 yards or the zero yards? I'm interested in 45 yards. Those points matter.

I don't want to, you know, say, look, four and a half points, you're going to win or lose a game a lot of times on that. But I would much rather have the guy that I think has an opportunity this week for a touchdown. And so, you know, I agree. I think that Fleener would be a far better option. All right. Let's say you have lost Clay. These are your options to pick up. You got George Kittle, Ed Dixon, Ryan Griffin, or the new Mr. Very Necessary, which.

I guess you kind of rule him out because he is on by this week. Nicolary, the replacement for the Buffalo Bills. So I'll, I'll take him out, even though he's worth taking a look at to possibly stash. So Ryan Griffin, Ed Dixon, George Kittle, because those are very low-owned tight ends. Yeah, Ryan Griffin's got a great matchup against Cleveland. He does. Or you know what? I'm going to throw this name in there too. Zach Miller. Oh, I would probably go Zach Miller. I don't love the matchup.

against Baltimore. So if it's a one week thing, then I would actually probably go George Kittle. But I think Zach Miller is going to be pretty good the rest of the season. In the landscape of tight ends, he's probably like, you know, a top six or seven guy, which is gross because he's not that good. I actually think he's a talented tight end. He just has been very, very hurt.

You're talking about he's an injury prone player. Yeah. Hey, Brooks, Nick O'Leary, that is a name that we need to make sure we have in this show next week. Because he will be a great pickup, but you just don't need to pick him up now. Nobody's fighting for Nick O'Leary. Most people don't know who he is, and he's on by. So don't pick him up now. People need to know who Mr. Very Necessary is. He's very necessary. Very necessary. There's no one else to throw the ball to. Defensive streamers.

Washington gets to take on the 49ers. The Rams taking on Jacksonville. I like that they get to take on the 49ers. Exactly. It's Christmas. My personal favorite this week, Atlanta taking on the dolphins coming off of the by week. Miami is just absolute flaming garbage. They are a flaming baby diaper at this moment.

Yeah, I mean, it's going to be, they are, they are one of my favorite this week as well. Falcons. Off the buy at home. They get half of Jay Cutler and half of Matt Moore. So that's going to be great. Sure. And moving to kicker, which we don't usually recommend picking up a kicker, but check for Will Lutz and check for Matt Bryant. Whenever you've got those biweek guys, you know, you go through the waivers. You don't even look at kickers because.

You just don't care. Maybe you've got a decent one. You know, you've got a guy on your team that's been okay. So you stop looking at the weekly matchups. You don't realize that guys like Will Lutz and Matt Bryant were dropped because they were on by week. Pick them up. All right. Let's talk some quarterback streamers. Full stream ahead. I'll let you kick this one off. All right. Well, look, I hate it and I love it. I hate going back to the well. I feel like it's cheap. Here's the thing about the well, though.

The well is full of water. Life giving water. Why would you ever not want to go to the well? It's like I went to the well yesterday. Well, guess what? You want to stay alive. Your body. You want to win. Your body's like, what, 70% water. You need water. Still available in the majority of leagues, despite the fact that the last four weeks, the last month of games.

In six point per passing touchdowns, he hasn't had less than 20 points in any of those matchups. In fact, the lowest yardage he's thrown was this past week with 291. It's Carson Palmer, who's going to be at home against Tampa Bay, whose defense is just completely injured right now. They're missing all of their most relevant pieces. And now they've got this awesome running game with a Hall of Famer.

So I think Carson Palmer is a absolute fine. The return of John Brown. John Brown being healthy makes a huge difference. In fact, all their weapons are starting to get a little bit healthier. I love Carson Palmer this week at home against Tampa Bay. Jason, I have a question for you. All right. Hey, where's the beef? Where's the beef, Jason? Where's the beef? I'm going with Jacoby, beef brisket, brisette, coming off a strong game.

He gets to take on the Tennessee Titans. They're giving up the third most fantasy points to the quarterback position. You saw new life for T.Y. Hilton able to go deep. It will not shock me if we see a somewhat repeat performance from T.Y. Hilton this year. He's mobile. This week? Yeah. So this week he's mobile.

He's a competent quarterback, especially when he's in a good matchup. And this is a great matchup. You got to play that drop one more time. Hey, where's the... Wait, wait, wait. Hey, where's the meat? The horn in the background is my favorite part. Fong, fong, fong. Hey, where's the beef?

All right. There's some other options too available. There's a lot of really good options this week. Josh McCown versus the Patriots, Case Keenham gets to take on the Packers. Do you have interest in Kevin Hogan against the Texans? No. No, I realize the Texans defense is a little depleted right now, but they're still a well-coached defense. And also, Hogan plays for the Browns.

This is your go-to analysis. Look, it's when it's right, it's right. Brian Hoyer coming off a strong game playing Washington. I don't know. I don't mind that one. Yeah, I don't mind it. If Josh Norman is out. Yeah, I had forgot that. Which I believe he will probably be out. Then I think Brian Hoyer is is a fine play. I mean, look, he's, he's five weeks in. He's got three.

Really bad games against three amazingly good defenses. And he's got two really good games against mediocre defenses. So Washington without Josh Norman is a mediocre defense. I think you could play Brian Hoyer. And Andy, Andy brought his stream of the week. I thought you were going with Jay Gris. Oh, Jay Gris. Well, Jay Gris' stream is going to be Trubisky. Every week. Yeah. Andy's stream of the week is going to be Jared Goff.

plays the Jacksonville Jaguars who are, you know, terrible defense. No, I'm, are you just bodying it right now? No, this is not real. Andy did not. No, Andy did not send that note. No, Andy did not send that in. Don't play Jared Gough as we. He's looking good. I was giving him some props around the studio this morning, but no, do not play Jared Gough against the Jaguars who are destroying people right now. I'd rather take an ice bath to play Jared Gough right now. Yeah. Well, America, we did it. We made it through two shows.

without Andy Holloway. Tomorrow's mailbag. So get your questions in, and we're going to go crazy. Absolutely. Draft.com slash ballers for DFS this weekend. See you tomorrow. Football, goodbye.
