NFL Week 11 Waiver Wire, Adds And Drops.

You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Best Friends Forever to Do Do Do Do, Don Do, Do Do Do Do Dinna do. Yeah, this is the Fantasy Fast Friends Forever here on the Fantasy and Sports Radio Network alongside Braggy Snample. I am Greg Sauceman. Rag what's going on on it? Three? Note it self? Not enough time to use the bathroom before the show. Now when you come up with one minute deal before the show go on, let's go on. Freddy strolled back in here.

I was like, we're on the air. Yeah, I didn't know. I thought we had more time than I than we did. Big win for the for the g Men last night, Greig Big Blue rate unbelievable. This team can't even lose. Right, it's amazing, absolutely amazing a competent quarter No, he didn't. I am so sick of his take. He three touchdowns? Dude, do you realize how many how terrible throws he had?

He did have a lot of how the Giants got battled out by BS penalties in the last drive he did a joke, Amen, they would have had the first overall pick if it wasn't for this nonsense. At least your quarterback throws such sound. Yes, even the touch to Sterlian Shepherd was a terrible throw. But the thing that you don't really have to worry about from the Giants perspective in the draft is nobody else around them needs

a quarterback. Just one who's that? That's one. When the Raiders cut Derek Carr, that's an issue, you think, so you also of the issue of the farther down you go teams that do you need a quarterback? Though? Trade off? Yeahalistically, how many more games are the Giant's gonna win? Like the Bronco's gonna trade up somewhere and then get a quarterback Broncos? Yeah, what happened? Correct? The Raiders when they trade away or release Derek Carror whatever, they're gonna need

a quarterback. This is awful, but John Gruden has the utmost faith in the in this quarterback. Let me be so upset when this team doesn't get just nerv I think we'll be so upset. Alright, So Tampa Bay in MetLife, that's actually a very winnable game. Yeah, I know it's a disaster. Everything else on the schedule, like maybe Dallas in week seventeen, but Billion week twelve in Philly not winning that against Chicago and MetLife not winning that at Washington,

not winning that at home against Tennessee. Maybe, but Tennessee is playing good ball at Indianapolis. They're playing good ball and they're probably gonna need that win. And in Dallas in week seventeen, which maybe Dallas will need that win. Like this week is like this team, this team goes four and twelve, This is a disaster. What are they not in seven? They're not gonna win two more games. I think that most of win one more, three and thirteen. That would get you at least top three. I want,

I want one, I want. But the Raiders are not winning another game. You don't think they can't put one more out nope. And they played the Cardinals this week, and we'll talk about this later on. The Cardinals are probably my favorite defense stream of the week. I picked on Sunday. Everybody told you last week, I think it's Sinnati. I was like, you know what, I'm not gonna do anything. I picked the Arizona. Thank god their defensive coordinator was

just fired, right, so I picked up Arizona. Jackson was hired. Yeah, big morale boost for the Bengals. There Weaver Wire Week eleven, Grady gosh Man. For most people, there's really only three moreular season weeks, and in the playoffs start Week fourteen. That's when a lot of fantasy playoffs started. We have three weeks. Yeah, we're there. Six teams on a bye this week too. It's tough. Waiver wire not great this week either. It's not the it's not the best. It's

definitely not. I don't think it's the worst either, though I would say it's somewhere in the middle. I know you've been so I know there's been like a lot of injuries this year, and there's a lot of injuries every year. It doesn't feel like that we've had that many great waiver wire pickups this year. I think you you think that way because of the running back. The wide receiver pickups have been outside of Tyler Boyd, who are the guys you know Tyler Boyd? And that was

a week one pickup. But outside of Tyler Boyd, which is literally week one, you didn't pick him up because anyone was injured. He picked him up because hey he had a good week. That's fine. Outside of Tyler Boyd. Like who had been the big waiver wire pick ups for the first ten weeks of the season. I lock it might have been picked up. He was going probably sure, see who we got here? John Brown was a waiver red. He's been has been terrible. It's the top thirty wide receiver.

It's the weeks. Not a GameBreaker. Move on, He's not a game breaker. But I mean, where's your GameBreaker running back to just I agree? Is what I'm telling you. There's not been a great waiver wire year. When you do like awards the end of the season waiver people of the Year, it's like, all right, Tyler Boyd, fine, like who else? Who else in the running? James Connor

was a weird situation. It was and on the flip side of that, And I've heard a lot of people talk about this Levion Bell the biggest bust of all time and fantasy football because it's not injury related, of absolutely, But I've also heard a counter argument whereas, at least for the other people that have busted, like the biggest bust of all time, they were in your lineup and hurting you. At least let On Bill has not been

in your life. That's fair, that's fair argument. But for people who drafted Levion Bell and did not get James Conner, allah me, it has not been great. Although in the one league where I did that, I'm six and four, so I don't know. I mean to manage to string string a few together here by the way, I know no one feels bad for um the Terps. Ever, to their quarterbacks they have they have a problem with quarterbacks

tearing a c L is. A couple of seasons ago, four different quarterbacks on their team to ra c LS. Um so this is the last year, uh, two quarterbacks they fixed their field or something. Last year two quarterbacks to ra c LS, and now this year they're starting quarterback tour his other a c L. Maybe we should put you in a bubble dude. Next thing, you know, Greg Susman, I'm gonna come wheeling in here on a wheelchair. I'm never gonna be It's not gonna be a quarterback

in the University of Maryland. So I'm good. Yeah, but you went there, so maybe like you have the juju, maybe have the bad juju. Smith Schuster, No, that's the good juju Maryland, very bad juju. Not great Bob terps On.

They won't last night though, by the way. Oh and for those wondering, you know, I brought it up yesterday, big frank up fifteen facing state Kwon Barkley, I was texting managed to pull out the W I was texting you, man, Oh, that was one of my most stressful Monday night football games watching because obviously se Kwan gets that that big reception and brings it down into like inside the five yard line, gets a couple of runs there, and I'm like,

all right, this is it. Like I watched the entire game thinking I have a chance he's gonna score a touchdown here in the last drive and put me in my grave. Eli Manning, my man sterling Shepherd. I thought you were done. You were so screw one of the most flukey six and four teams of all time. I'm telling you I'm the Miami Dolphins of my fantasy league, and you don't want to be that. I'm not a good I don't have a good team. I have the third most fantasy point a third few is fantasy points

in the league. I'm six and four. Rememb by the way that at least I think it's longer than the fourth quarter yesterday last night, and they just didn't throw it to Georgie Kittle. What are you doing? Dominated Why did you stop throwing George Kittle? Yeah? What do you have? Eight for ninety three? Just absolutely monster game with Nick Mollins as the quarterback. And there wasn't the same a hand and it wasn't even the Iowa connection. We've had so many jub whispers in the past, Adam Gaze being

one of them. Yeah, he's doing a great job with Brock Oswelder right now. Um Shanahan is probably the QB whisper Greg to be honest with, I mean, it's look, he made the most out of C. J. Bethard as his quarterback. Now is a third string scout teening quarterback quarterbacking his team in Nick Mullins, and he's at least looked competent. Give me, Garoppolo looked like like all of Famer last year in those final five or six games.

How Sanahan, that's the quarterback whisper. Yeah, definitely a quarterback west Bers. I think it's a known thing. Speaking of quarterback will give you jump into streams. Here have a stat of the day, which will also lead us into running back. I got. I got a lot of stuff on the rundown. Yeah, I looked at a lot of news.

I mean, there's was making the fanel rundown earlier. You're like, look at the run down, like, wow, it's very early the run down to be completed, and it was did it last night during the game we were going to He's myself off the pressure of watching seake Kwon Barkley nearly destroy me. Yeah, so I'm looking at the news. There's not really much interesting here. I mean, Bengals bring back Hugh Jackson as an assistant. That's huge. So in all caps, Bucks signed Cairo Santos. Yeah, let me get

the Hugh Jackson thing. First, Floria were like freaking fantasy chat. You're a freaking out And I was like, why are you guys surprised? We knew this was coming. None of this is a surprised. You knew he could back to Cincinnati. You know that him and Marvin Lewis. I told you earlier on in the year that huge Jackson will end up getting another job. And I believe I was doing that right there, and you said there's no way he gets another job. No. No, I sat right here and

tell you to told you to be in Cincinnati. It's literally right to the tape. Please, I'm happy to I'm pretty sure you were like, no, he's not gonna get a job for a while, like he sucks. I did not say that. I said he'll get another job in Cincinnati and my best friends and I was adamintant saying these guys get recycled in the NFL all the time, even if they sucked, they get recycled around. Jackson back with the Bengals not good for him, as if you

know they don't have enough bad things going on. And the Browns two more times. Sweet I saw a great sweet Ray Summerlin, who tweeted out that the first move that he Jacks will do as a special assist in the offensive side of the ball is Benji Andy Dalton for aj mccaren and they find out that Aji mccarroen is not on the team anymore, he will quit exists, right, He was the one who wanted to give up all those draft picks to get him. Where's Ajian mccarroen now?

Is he playing? Like? That? Might be correct? These dark cars back? Yeah, I know he got signed by the Bills and then got cut. He's somewhere now that sounds right for you. Sure he's an Oakland Sure any else news related here says signed Brandon Marshall. Greg, Okay, you're out on that. Yeah, not not getting u. It's not gonna get the same amount of buzz as Dez Brian, mean, while it's likely the same exact thing. Yeah, nothing, Everyone and everyone took time out of the day to talk

about des Bryant. I tried not to as forced. I mean we had to talk about him a little bit, but I mean he lives. I'm not talking about Brandon Marshall. Er have to show cord in the peat Carroll, Chris Carson will play on Thursday night football looks talking with us out of the day. Then it's that end of the day comes via Jared Smola following on Twitter at smola d s attributes to Draft Sharks has a lot

of great stats as well. Rashad Penny first twenty NFL carries two point two yards per carry is next thirty four NFL carries have been six point two yards per carry. This past week, we all saw him twelve carries over a hundred yards, a touchdown, nine yards per carry in that game. Like I've been thinking about more and more about what you said yesterday about the GM maybe you know, tipping off, he Carollen, like, all right, come on, we gotta get this guy involved now, you know, let's show

people why we drafted him in the first round. And it just so happens that after that game he Carol came out and said that Rashad Penny finally looked like the guy that they drafted in the first round. We know that he's dealt with the injury in the preseason, the broken finger, he was out of shape, still doesn't look like he's in the best shape of all time, but he looked great in that in this past week

on rushing for nine yards per carry. I just wonder that even with Carson back, is there a chance that Rashot Penny is the guy moving forward, and I would say that there is a chance that that is the case,

You're just gonna get messed with, man. Yeah, I mean, look, I think that's why you still have to take a shot and adding him here, because while it is a small chance that he's the guy, and we all know how much they like Chris Carson, if management is in front of them here and saying, hey, we need to get Shot Penny involved, and he just looked as good as he did, I wouldn't manage and come back again and be like, well, look what he did. We gotta

continue to get this guy involved. I get it, and and like, how can you deny what he just did? Look great? He looked fantastically. The best rushing performances of the year out of a Seahawks. Yeah, no question about it. He looked fantastic. I think we'll see again Chris workload and think they like Chris Carson. I think he looked at Chris Carson has done when he's healthy. Chris Carson has been fantastic. I mean, all these running backs when

you give it a shot, have been fantastic. It's just and the fact that they're the number one rushing percentage team in the NFL. I mean, maybe they can coexist even Like what if what if Chris Carson and Shot Penny get like fifteen touches each per game? That would put them both in the flexis because that means that means Mike David gets none. I don't think that happens. Yeah, it's probably not gonna So what's the most realistic scenario, like fifteen for Carson, ten for Penny, five for Davis,

something like that. I bet you it's like last I bet you it's literally like eight for Penny. And what did you be really surprised you, Mike Davis and more carrious. No, it wouldn't. It wouldn't at all. Like nothing moving forward with the Seahawks running backs would surprise me. And I said that yesterday reminds me a lot of Bill Belichick

and the Patriots. I mean, they kind of want to keep opposing defenses and opposing teams off balanced by not knowing who they're going to use at the running back position.

But I think the reason you have to take a stab on a Shot Penny is because there's at least that slight sliver of a chance that for shot Penny is the guy moving forward and that you know, all right, maybe he doesn't get twenty touches per game, but if he is the main running back behind that offensive line who's played well from a run blocking perspective, on the team that's running the most rush plays in the NFL this season, you want you want a piece of that

running back. So I at this point, we're not going to really talk about FAD because I don't know how much people have left. But I think what would help listeners and and watchers more Greg is rather we rank the players at their position, and I think we're talking Tony is the number one running back at this week? Um, I think he's number one. Add this week, I think number one running back. I agree. I agree with that because he has the potential to start down the stretch

because he's that first round pick. He does with the pedigree, I get it. Yes, So I agree with you with that. Unless Derrick Henry's out there, I don't know if you would rank I don't know Dereck even number one either, Um, but I agree that Petty is number one at I I think he probably is. Do you want to talk abou running backs? I like and I liked him last week. I told you that at costume nothing last week. It was last week or two weeks and I picked him up.

Josh Adams. And you never want to get involve with Philly running backs. I completely understand that, Frank. But he had the highest percentage of running back snaps for one plays. He actually ran the ball last week. Um he is, according to Peterson, needs to be and have a better usage in the running game. He's averaged the most yards of the past couple of weeks. He looks like the best running back in Philly. And I get you don't want to get involved with the Philadelphia Eagles and you

don't want their running backs. They're gonna play Corey Clement and they're gonna play Windel Smallwood, and they want to get everybody in bothered. It's only gonna bother you. And Frank wants nothing to do in the Eagles running back. But six teams gonna buy. If you're looking for a story running back, I think you found one in Josh Adams. He's starting running back right. Yeah. He hasn't add more

than nine carries in any single game. I will say over the past three games, he's had twenty carries exactly, he's averaging over six yards per carry with those with those touches, so he's performing when he gets the ball. What I don't understand is doesn't Doug Peterson call plays for the Eagles. Yes, so doesn't he control how many touches Josh Adams gets. So it's just confusing to me that he comes out after the game and he says, we need to get Josh Adams more involved. Doug Peterson,

you control whether or not Josh Adams gets involved. So I just don't really understand is I will agree that with six teams on a buy, if I had to choose an Eagles running back that I am most excited about, and when I say most excited, it's not very exciting at all, it would be Josh Adams, just based on how efficiently he's run the ball when he touches it, but does absolutely nothing in the past game, has one reception on the season, hasn't had more than nine carries

in a game. And I know he can have a game here where he gets randomly, you know, fifteen, sixteen carries, but in the next game he'll seven or eight. So it's an it's extremely fluid situation. I will say based on how he has from the ball when he does get the football. I am intrigued in Josh Adams and there's six teams on a by Again, Greg, I mean, as you reference, I'm not very high on the Eagles running game. The offensive line has not performed well this

year in terms of running the football. Arson Wentz took a lot of taxes past week as well. Offensive line kind of shaky. Um too many running Max here, let us his upside A lot to change your Frank, you still watched nothing to do with the Eagle's branding. Max day Break more from the Waiver Wire Tuesday after this, Daily Rhodo dot Com learned from the game's best DFS players. We don't just give you premier advice. We play every day,

all major sports, all year round. We never stopped industry leading DFS tools and custom projections, and now the Daily Roado dot Com Optimizer in minutes building optimized line up for cash games and turneys. Learned from the game's best DFS players joined Daily Rodo dot Com Fantasy best Friends Forever Fantasy Sports Radio network that is Frank Stanford. I am Greg Susman, Thank you so much for joining us

here on a Tuesday waiver wire. Tuesday, Frankie, we're getting into the running backs here so you can pick up and I want to get into places you can drop as well. Just talk about running backs and Josh Adams were shot, Penny and guys that you might need to start this week. But the questions becomes who who can you dropp And with four teams on a buy, six teams on six teams on by four teams the NFC A f C S, can you drop Kenyan Drake. Nope, I'm not doing it. I own him in one league.

I know it's been frustrating. It's not necessarily his fault. I think you know when he touches the ball, he's still their most explosive weapon. Frank Gore is seems like he's not going away. But I'm just gonna keep holding onto what he did in that second half last year, that final stretch where Greg you know very well he nearly won us a league together that we owned last year.

Um you, me and Michael Florio together. Kenyan Drake has that ability if they would just open their eyes and maybe it's maybe it'll take the by maybe you know, maybe they're uh, they're they're from office needs to step forward in and and say something to Adam Gaze because I don't know what it's gonna take, but we know that Kenyan Drake has that ability to to win you weeks single handedly and really try and propel you to win a league if they would just give him the touches.

So I'm I can't drop him yet. I know he was like a third fourth round pick for people care about that. I mean, it's not gonna be the pick I drop. Chris Hogan is the third round pick. He's been no off my team for six weeks for a third round pick. I drafted Chris Hogan in the fourth round. On the turn. Fine, there's literally the turn. Are you dropping Kenyan Drake? I'm strongly considerate. Sure, it's frustrating, like we are at the mercy of Adam Gates. I get it.

He won us leagues, he won me a leading is who are you dropping for? Gregg? Do you drop for a shot, penny or a job or definitely not Josh Josh Adams. There's no upside there, in my opinion, no upside with the Eagles running backs right now, Penny a little bit more interesting, But I mean it's a crowd No, that's a crowded situation as well. I will say this, at least the Seahawks are a better offense behind a team that's dedicated to the run. It seems like they

somewhat know what they're doing. Would you drop the offense just don't. Would you drop Elijah McGuire for any of these they either these two guys, Elijah McGuire, I would drop him to get Penny. I would keep him over Josh Adams because look what we've seen is when teams go into the by, especially when they're sputtering. Coming out of that by, things can completely change. Especially with a

team like the Jets. If they're quote reevaluating everything like they say they are, maybe they'll realize throughout the bye, all right, isaihah, well, is not what makes this offense better. Maybe it's getting uh, getting Elijah McGuire the ball fifteen plus times per game is what's gonna make this team better. So I would hold on to guys like that. And we've already seen that happen, you know, guys like David

Johnson throughout the bye alright. Byron left which works with his offense and realized all right, this is what we're gonna do coming out of the bye. So you know, I uh, I get encouraged when I see stuff like that, and I think that there's a chance that that can happen even with Elijah McGuire hopefully. I mean, look, we're just we're holding on to a with a prayer here that that that that's what they do with Kenyan Drake.

So I can't. I can't drop me just based on what I saw from him down the stretch last year. And maybe that's the fault of me. Maybe that's me just holding on too much. I'm going down with the ship. But I think when it comes to Kenyan Drake, he does have that that league winning ability. What are the player that is on a buy that you want to pick up potentially, and that's Rex Burke hand. He obviously came out last week and he was h practicing and

he could return early in December. Sonny Michelle has the big back role. You have James White having the smaller role. Rex Berken was vital for New England last year. Are you making are you picking up Rex Brokent this week? Yes? So if I've already I've already picked him up in my home league on Sunday because we have after fab goes through, we have open waivers, and no one picked him up. So I picked him up then, and I'm gonna stash and reminder they have a buy in this week.

In week eleven, and in week twelve, the Patriots face the Jets and he's still not eligible to return in week thirteen. So if you're fighting for your playoff lives, you can't afford to pick up Rex Burkin and just throw him into your lineup week thirteen and hope that he does something, because I'm telling you right now, even owning him in week thirteen, I'm not going to start him. That's gonna be a wait and see approach and just kind of see what happens with the Patriots running back situation.

But what I will say is Tony Michelle did not look great in this game. I don't know that he's on and we saw last year a running back I would say similar to Rex burkehead in the Patriots eyes and Dion Lewis take over down the stretch for the Patriots. Why did the Patriots love Dean Lewis so much because

of his versatility. When he was on the field, you didn't know whether the Patriots were going to run the football or throw the football, because you know he can He ran it effectively, and he can also catch the ball out of the backfield. Rex burkehead kind of represents that similar type of mold of a running back, similar to Dion Lewis, and that he can run the football effectively, he can catch the football out of the backfield, and we saw him have games last year where he was

certainly fantasy viable as well. So Tony Michelle first game back eleven carries thirty one yards two point eight yards per carry. If they figure out during the break that he is not maybe there's a chance he gets shut down. We're dealing with a lot of ifs here, but there there's definitely a chance for upside. Based on what we saw Dean Lewis down the stretch last do last year, I think there's a chance that rex Burkid could have that same type of value. So I am picking him up.

But those are in leagues where I kind of I think I know that I'm going to be in the playoffs, because again, you likely won't be able to play this guy until week fourteen at the earliest. I agree with that, and I picked him up in the league I expected being the playoffs in and we're desperate for running backs ultimately, and that's why I'm stashing him with a bench of stashing him and Foreman and and Deonta Foreman. The news came out yesterday, Bill O'Brien saying, quote, will see, they

don't even know if he's gonna play this yere. Yeah, that was a waste and we and we got excited over that too, And then we got excited over the two months ago, which is frustrating because look, it's it was just a weird situation overall, because there was a chance he could play in week one. There was a chance he wasn't even going to land on the pub and I figured all along on lean, look, coming back from a torn achilles, I don't care how young you are,

that is a devastating or should come back from. So I didn't think there was any chance in hell he was gonna return in week one. But I thought maybe given the fact that they put him on the pup and they expected him to return at some point, that that's also what I expected. I and you know, their offensive, their their run game was not performing well. There were a few games where Lamar Miller did show out, they were in very good matchups, but overall, the run game

hasn't been great this year. So I thought, all right, you'll they'll give Jonson Forming a chance. But it still seems like he's foreman they everybody believes, from Bill O'Brien to foreman himself at the twenty one day window for him, the practice will begin this week, and again that doesn't put him on the roster. Is no guarantee he will be on the roster in three weeks from now. We're

talking about Rex Broke in week fourteen. That's the earlies should be able to start the foreman most likely, and you're gonna start with the third straight at that point. So these are guys that you're you're only stashing. If your record is like six and four better, that's fine. Rather I'd rather um, I'd rather have Rex Burkhead, And just ranking the running backs that we've talked about so far, I would put it Rashad Penny. Would you rather have

Derrick Henry or Rex Burkhead. Greg. Look, yeah, I just don't think that there's much upside. I know he scored four touchdowns in the last three games. An interesting stat that I saw both Derrick Henry and Dean Lewis both have nineteen red zone rushing attempts this season. It's completely split down the middle. There's no rhyme or reason. It's basically just whoever is on the field right If they're running the no huddle, the hurry up offense, it's just

Dan Lewis. They're gonna keep him on the field. If they have time where they're going to the huddle and they're getting set and they really want to kind of barrel into the end zone, then they're gonna bring Derrick Henry on the field. But there's really no rhyme or reason as who when, who's getting the ball inside the red zone. So I mean they're split down the middle. Realized that. And in games where Derrick Henry doesn't score touch on, he's giving you thirty forty fifty yards at most.

He hasn't had more than twelve rushing attempts in any games since we three. I will say I do agree with you. I'd rather own Derrick Henry than Rex burkhead Um. So I guess that's the order right, Rich Shod Penny Derrick, Henry rex Burkhead, and then we would you rather own Aliza McGuire than rex Burkett. I think I would. Yeah, he's still not owned in enough leagues. Two more morning backs. I want to get to you first, just THEO Ridic, who's only owned in thirty pc of CBS leagues, give

or take, and Riddicks. Since coming back from injury, he's resumed his role he's always had. I think he had six receptions one game, seven the next. It's theoretic. Being theoretic, the lines are terrible, so they're always in comeback mode. It's just dumped Ridic dump, Ridic dumps Riddick. Now carry on, Johnson's playing more snaps than ever. Uh, he's a goal lineback. You know THEO Rick is not going to carry the

ball at all. But are you diving in a theoretic frank, Yeah, I do think that the ownership percentage is too low based on how many PPR formats there are, which means he should be owned in all PPR leagues. Um, and you notice the snap percentage from this past week. Carry on, Johnson of the snaps, THEO Rick fifty eight percent of the snaps seven in post fifty eight, there's not equal a hundred? What does that mean? Theoretic and carry on? Johnson are playing on the field together at times. So

John Greggy just jumped a balloons just popped. If you were watching the morning after, you saw that they had balloons delivered, and you know they're sitting in the corner of the room right now and one of them just popped. Uh, you know, Greggy nearly soiled his breeches as I interrupt you, Frank,

someone popped last night. I honestly I couldn't even watch it because I heard it was gruesome, and I really I don't know what's going on, like in my older age, like I don't have the stomach to like watch gruesome injuries anymore. So I didn't watch. He was diagnosed today with a subtillar dislocation of the right foot. That means there is no surgery and he'll be back this season new for the Brooklyn Nets. Really, yeah, good news. Did you watch it? I still have actually watched it, not glad,

I don't you know. So I showed it to King and I was like, watch this and please describe it to me. And she basically said that he jumped up and when he came down, he basically landed full force on the side of his foot and like his his foot was like nine degree angle, so like basically his ankle was touching the sun Man. Good news, no surgery,

should be back. Yeah, and he was enjoying a breakout season and everything that you read about the kids says that you know he's a stand up guy, had a lot of promise coming out of Michigan, but has consistently dealt with injuries. Just sucks that for those who drafted him. He was he was performing quite well, but now has this injury. It is good good news that he'll be back, but um, hopefully you can stash him on your i R.

Just getting back to theo ridic though. I think he needs to be owned in all PPR leagues six verse sixty. This week he's playing on the field the same time as carry On Johnson and per our guy Michael Florio. The already had sixteen slot routes this week, which led the Detroit Lions. So he's he's basically picked up that role left behind from Golden Tate, which we know is a very, very valuable role to Matt Staffort. Okay, so

there you go. So theoretic ahead of all these other guys in PPR, he is I know that Shot Penny still like doesn't catch passes. I would still rather have a shot Penny overall. THEO Riddick is number two on the list in PPR leagues. Um just in a vacuum, like if you play in half PPR, I generally just want like the best player available. I don't think that he has immense upside, he has a safe floor I would rather have. I'd rather have Derrick Henry, and I

would rather have Elijah McGuire. But um Rex Burke, it is firmly behind theoretic in my opinion, I might rather have Riddy than McGuire. I've just kind of talked myself into, you know, teams going to into the bye, the Jets, I mean, what are they playing for this season? They might as well see what they have in Elijah McGuire, Isaiah krow Well, he's still pretty young. I think Rowell is like only twenty five years old, but it's clear that I don't think he's going to be part of

the future by any means. So I think they're gonna get Elijah McGuire more involved coming out of the by He's already played more snaps than Crowell in both games that he's been back. So intrigued by by McGuire. Okay, last running back, I want to hit up. That's Jalen Samuels. James Conner's ingercussion protocoll called Mike Tolland says he expects him to pass tomorrow the first day of practice. We'll see concussions can linger, that can be setbacks or whatnot.

Jalen Samuels is the backup to James Connor. Jaalen Samuels and Stephen really don't know want you to forget about him, Frank, because he is there. Jim Samuel's yea who Lee's both running back and tight end eligible? Just say yeah, that is really random that he has tight end eligibility. And I wanted to ask you who do you think is the handcuff because we're at that point and we continue

to talk about it. Where down the stretch Again, there's only three regular season weeks in fantasy football, you need to own the handcuffs for your team. We'll find out today by the four PM deadline whether Levian Bell is gonna show up, But all indications say that Levian Bell is not going to show up, which means he's not going to play this year, which also means you need to get the handcuff to James Conner. James Conner is the RB one on the Steelers, and we know that

if anything were to happen to him. The Steelers typically lean on one running back. They don't go running back by committee. They normal they have that one guy. Is that one guy Jalen Samuels or is it Stephen Ridley? Really is the veteran Jalen Samuels I believe is the first year player a rookie here um, but he caught a touchdown last week, so I'm I'm a little bit more intrigued in Jalen Samuel's something we would happen to Connor. Who do you think is the guy Greg Samuel's or

Stephen Ridley? I think it's really to be honestly, it could go either way. I don't think that there's any wrong answer here, but you do need to own You do need to own one of them for what it's worth. In Week ten, James Conner played of the snatch that was on Thursday Night Football obviously left the game dealing with the concussion. The next player up with the highest percentage of snaps was Jalen Samuels, who played of this thing.

But that was a monstrous blowout and in the fourth quarter, like Samuel's got a whole bunch of snaps, I don't know that he would get I believe that when Connor came out in the first running back and it was Ridley just saying that might be true, that might be true, But I'm just gonna go based on what we saw in this game on the season for what it's worth. The next man up in terms of running back snaps, Stephen Ridley has eight point five percent of snaps. Janiel

Samuel is a six point seven percent. Yeah, so it's close, um, but I think you need to own one of them for sure. If something were to happen, just get that waiver. And now it's not gonna cost you all up meuch, because everyone expects Connor to play. It happened a long time ago, obviously on last Thursday. And if someone picks up Jaleens Anuels and pick up Ridley as you want to them, and even it's just for a day, or two even it's just for a don't I think you

need to own one of these guys moving? Yeah? Yeah, for sure? Um should we move on? You know, it's kind of quarterbacks. I'll say, the wide receivers for the end quarterbacks stream this week. You don't have Tom Brady. You don't have Broadway Baker this week. You don't really have the two big names I would say, I mean you left out Nate Peterman. Um who is not on? Who's also left out by Buffalo? Um mcmullins, who a bunch of people picked up last Yeah, you lost on Brady,

you lost Baker Mayfield. Maybe you'll probably a backup quarterback for you anyway. Um, so you're really losing Brady if you need to stream of quarterback this week. The ones that I like the best, Dak Prescott against Atlanta. Prescott has to believe, rushed for a touchdown in three of his last five games, so I like his last four year. We have his last four. It was another quarterback actually did three of his last five, but Prescott three of

his last four games he's rushed for a touchdown. Also three has last five UM against Atlanta, it's a good matchup We've been streaming quarterbacks against them for a while now. Last week it was Mayfield, This week is Prescott, so I like him. Another quarterback I really like is Marcus Mariota, who's really turned it on as a lake. He finally seems healthy and that nerve issued in his hand kind of subsided um. So I like that Mariota. And the third one I wrote it would be fun to start

Lamar Jackson if he plays this week. Yeah, it would certainly be fun. I do agree with you on Dak. He has the rushing production lately, has posted at least fifteen fantasy points in four straight games. That's in four point passing touchdown leagues. Falcons allowed the fourth fourth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. We just saw Baker Mayfield have the best game this season. He threw for three touchdowns. And the Cowboys are three and a

half point dogs in the Dome. I have a feeling that they'll be chasing points in this one against Atlanta. It is worth noting that Dion Jones is eligible to return at linebacker for the Falcon sole their defense should be better, but I do expect the Cowboys to be playing from behind Mariotta. I agree with you. Seems like he's playing better, seems like he's over the injury. Um.

The Titans offense is finally starting to click. I was very, very critical of the Titans offense earlier on in the season. They were a complete mess. Whether that was due to play calling, the offensive line being banged up, Mariota being banged up, it could be a combination of all of those things. But it's a great match up here. The Colts have allowed multiple touchdown passes in five of their

last six games. That one game where they didn't was the Buffalo Bills, and that was um, that was Derek Anderson. It wasn't Nate Peterman. But the Bills just terrible. And I mean except for when they played the Jets, but that's you know, talk about Mariotta also averaging thirty rushing yards per games, so even if he throws an interception, he kind of has that mitigated by the rushing production he has also Just throw him out there. I don't like him as much as the other guys, but Blake

Bortles going up against the Steelers. Their defense has played much better as of late, but Blake Bortles has also played better as of late, averaging thirty rushing actor game. He's averaged over three passing yards over his last two games he throw. He threw for two touchdowns this past week against the Cold and their five point home dogs against the Steelers, so likely chasing points as well. There

for Blake Portals. When it comes to Lamar Jackson, look he has to and super flex leagues just based on his upside. I don't think that he's a very polished quarterback at all yet by any means. But have you seen bad quarterbacks in the NFL give good fantasy production just based on rushing alone? Allah Tim Tebow, and I'll always go back to that. I think Lamar Jackson, if he plays, could have that Tim Tebow back effect for fantasy.

We'll see when we come back the wide receivers, you need to pick up stick around more of your BFFs after that.

You also forgot about Ronus what you heard his promo during the break, guy Ronus, I haven't seen Ronus, our guy Ronus. Yeah, your guy Ronus. You worked with them more than I did. Like Ronus me too for basketball team Ronuses league. That's so good though. Yeah,

all right, man, Jimmy Butler coming back. Vengeance can change Everything's gonna change everything. He's gonna play every single game now moving forward, we will be all right, fair enough eight four four eight four three six s seven nine. A lot of your calls right now. As we'll get into the wide receivers Frankie that people have to know about this week, I'll start with my guy, Josh Reynolds. I picked up and dropped three times, three times thus far. Well,

we'll make it a fourth this week. Cooper cups out for the year. Josh Reynolds will play all the snaps, but the usage won't necessarily be there. Yeah, and we've seen that in the games where Cooper Cup missed. I brought up the staff from Adam Levitt tan Adam Leaving ten yesterday about how Josh Reynolds played all the snaps but nine in the two games where Cooper Cup did not play, but his targets share was a easily ten percent. So look, it's gonna be a lot of Brandon Cooks,

It's going to be a lot of Robert Woods. I think the tight ends get a little bit more involved here as well. But there's still that chance, the fact that he's on the field in an offense as potent as the Los Angeles Rams and match up against the Kansas City Chiefs, I think you have to be interested in Josh Reynolds. I think there are a few other wide receivers that will talk about that I like more

than him this week. But I'm trying to add and where I'm specifically trying to add is on teams where I own Sammy Watkins, right because Sammy Watkins plays on Monday Night, they say that they expect him to play on Monday Night. But if he doesn't go, if you also own Josh Reynolds, at least you have that plug in where if Watkins can't go, you have Josh Reynolds on the other side, you know at least that he's

going to play. And I like that much more than you know, handcuffing a Chiefs wide receiver behind Watkins, because we saw this past week the Marcus Robinson, Chris Conleeen either one of those guys has a ton of value. So especially on teams where I own Sammy Watkins, I'm gonna make sure I get Josh Reynolds in case Watkins is to go on one DA night. I think it makes a lot of sense. Um listen, he plays on

the field. That replay you just need to touchdown is what you're looking for exactly, you only you only need one. So I like it, and it makes sense to say we're walking certainly as well. Ye the other wide receivers who will get into I will say this though, I do want to throw this out there. I'm sorry, there is a chance. And I was reading this this morning.

Adam Schefter tweeted this out that the field conditions in Mexico City are disastrous right now, brutal and given these short notice, they may have to move back to l A. Of course, you have all the fires unfortunately going on in l A and they haven't hold the events of the stable center and whatnot. But they might try to move this to l A. They they're determined to move this to Mexico City or play this in Mexico City.

If they can't, they might move in to l A. If they can't play in l A. There is a chance it could be postponed. Now, I don't know postponed until when. I don't know what that would do. I do know obviously the Rams by next week. I assume we would know that before the game start to Yes, but you won't know that before waivers run. I don't know how early that. Yeah, I mean this is very like very preemptive, like forward thinking. But I just want to stand. I just want to throw it out there

because they read it this morning. All right, eight four four, eight four three six seven nine. Let me get to Julian and Miami. He has an ad job question for us. What's up? Julian? Okay, what's up? Guys going on? Can you hear me? What's going on? All right? Um, I want to pick up one player for the end of my bench. Would you guys think Murray, Henry Penny or McGuire or theoretic? Thanks for listening to the entire show. Juliete talked about this for literally the last Henry Penny,

theoretic and McGuire. Yes, what format is this? GPR EPR? Do you own Dalvin Cook? No? I told Tavis Murray is definitely out of the question, and I've already mentioned regardless of format. The one that I want to add most is for shot Penny greg a great in PPR. Would you rather have I I hear, I'm going with Anny. We're agreement. There's been a big fan let me hind of the wide receiver. Back of the wide receivers. We

mentioned Josh Reynolds. Next one, I want to go with Anthony Miller, and we talked about him off there on. I don't remember we we we were talking about talking about him on the year and just how much better he has been over the past couple of weeks playing out of that slot. Mitjor Drobiski is trusting him only just of leagues. I really like Anthony Miller going forward in the second half of the year. I think he could be a big, big, big time player for for

fantasy owners. Yeah, at least six targets in four straight games. He had a career game this past week obviously, five for one, two and a touchdown. You have to remember the Bears traded up to get Anthony Miller. They gave up their second round pick and an additional pick to move up and get Anthony Miller. This year Uh. Typically, whenever I see a team do that, I realized that they're going to want to get this player involved. And you know, sometimes it takes time for rookie wide receivers

to you know, get their feet underneath them. Uh, at the NFL level obviously, But it looks like he's coming on strong and I'm gonna continue to talk about slot wide receivers. I love slot wide receivers this year, and especially for Mentell Trabinsky to lean on him. No. Greg, Something that we spoke about before the year as kind of a comp um for Anthony Miller and Mitell Trobinsky was last year Jared Goff leaning on Cooper Cup out of the slot, and we're kind of seeing that relationship

developed now between Trabinsky and Anthony Miller Trobisky. Remember, still a young quarterback needs somebody to lean on. Yes, Allen Robinson look great this past week, but I really like the usage out of Anthony Miller, at least the six

targets in four straight games out of him. I will say, Um, the Vikings this week is not the greatest matchup, but then gets the Lions again, the Giants, the Rams and what should be a lot of points scored the Packers and the forty niners, So everything outside of the Vikings this week looks like a pretty favorable schedule moving forward for Anthony Miller. All right, so there you go, Anthony Miller. Maybe now at the time to buy achieve even after

this game it doesn't go great, It's an opportunity. How badly do you want him? So I have thirteen dollars left in my home league. I'm gonna put it all on Anthony. You want him, I want him. He's the top waiver, the top wide receiver in the end of the week, and I would say he is the number two add overall beast behind Shot Penny. This week is not available in my leagtas would you rather want Anthony Miller or Shot Penny if you can only pick up really? Yeah,

other water receevers. We like QT, who is back this week. Finally, We spoken about him a lot recently. His first game back without Will Fuller but with d Maarous Thomas. Would be interesting to see how his role has changed, if at all, with him being back in a lot of this weekend. Yeah, it seems like he's had enough time now to get completely healthy. I like the fact that the Texans left him out of that game before the by and then obviously gets to buy as the extra

week to get right. But let's not forget what he did. I mean, he had a game this year against the Colts fifteen targets, eleven receptions over a hundred yards receiving, the very next game against the Cowboys seven targets, six receptions, fifty one yards and a touchdown, and a reminder that will Fuller was on the field for both of those games.

Will Fuller was he percent Maybe not. He was also dealing with the hamstring injury to Marius Thomas, still finding his footing learning the offense here under Bill O'Brien and the Houston Texans so well, I do think that Marrius Thomas gets more involved he had the bye week to learn the offense. I think kik qt again a common theme slot wide receiver here is going to be that safety valve for Shaun Watson when he's not just peppering DeAndre Hopkins with targets. So I really do like him

a lot. Don't forget about Kiki q t still only own in thirty percent of leagues. I think a lot of people dropped him because he was on that bye week. Right. If the Texans could just get a serviceable running back, this offense next year is going to be fun. I've already heard people kind of float out the idea of Levion Bell joining the Texans in the off season. God imagine this offense with Hopkins qt will Fuller back maybe mid season and then is he under contract next year?

I'm not will be back at some point and then the first spend a first round picking an offensive lineman. Yeah, yeah, for sure, there you go. I mean, the defense has has come around, really, offensive line is what they really really need. I did pick Houston to win this division. Let's not forget that I did as well you were. I Mean, something that I'm learning is that they were a popular pick to make it to the Super Bowl

on this network. I know Gabe had them, I believe I believe Mike Blue had had them going to the the championship games. So a lot of people were excited about Let's not forget who picked Kansas City. That's you, Greg, thanks man, appreciate that. But the team right behind them, arguably, uh, the second third hottest team in the league l A Bowl this year? Uh, any other wide receivers that we haven't mentioned. You want to pick up, Yeah, I'll just

mention these guys real quick. John Ross played in the snatches pad this past week, led the team in targets with six, all two of them for thirty nine yards in a touchdown. We know that A. J. Green is not going to play at least this week. He might be out until December. So John Ross is getting an opportunity made the most of it this past week. Dante Moncrief had the big play against the Colts in the revenge game, but the Jaguars have been playing from behind

in more games. I think they'll be doing the same thing against the Steelers this week. So Moncrief has played well. And then Za Jones, and this is more so in deeper leagues, had a great, great game against the Jets. He is also paying playing more out of the slot this past year. And again this is you know, we're very quick to write rookie players off. Last year looked terrible, but I mean the Bills did not have you know,

great quarterback play. Tyrod Taylor was fine last year, but he you know, he didn't light it up by any means. If the Bills can somehow get a like maybe Josh Allen is at least a serviceable quarterback because A Jones is going to have value down the Shreds playing out of the slot. So in deeper leagues specifically, I know the Bills are on a by. I just wanted to mention Za Jones. He's been playing very very well as

of late. Right, it's my like A Florio's guy. Yeah, actually wrote about him last season and then put himself up on Twitter about it. Yeah. I was like that, look, yeah, look, what are you dealing Floria. Yeah. He also had a tweet yesterday about Otani winning and how he's happy because it makes Yankee fans salty. I was like, this is a bad look, Mike, It's real bad. I was like, b J M. I gave him the whole like, shake my hand, come on, come on, Mike, you bet in that.

And he's like, well, I don't know what he said. I was like, this was the last Mets with Cookie that was actually relevant to send him picture of lasting spillage. So there you go. There you go with that stand The phone lines would get to you just a second, and I want to sign off on YouTube and say goodbye. It's all our YouTube audience, Corey Parson, Jim Day, Chris Ventra,

Fantash Football Frenzy. They come your way, next to you listening on the podcast like sub sky Ridges five stars and leave a comment because on the radio will go another five minutes or so. Let's get back to the phone lines. Frank A four four, four, three, six, seven nine, and we go out to Nebraska to talk to Blake. What's up Blake? Here? Guys? Who's going wonderful? Hey? Um So on eight and two in a twelve team PPR league, and I'm just trying to sure up my playoffs situation

because I'm pretty sure I'm gonna make it. Um So, I was thinking about trading either mark Ingram, Aaron Jones or James White to pick up Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. I just wanted to hear what you thought. I have a Kirk Cousins and that fits magic. I would treat more Hingram for I'm sure for which one? Which one do you like better? Though? You don't need to do. Who are you running? Max? My starting running backs right now?

Are DJ? I have? Sorry? Um, I'm a d J. I have James Conner, Aaron Jones, James White and mark Ingram. So the reason I'm doing it, Frank, he can't play all him every week, But is Tom Brady or Aaron Rodger is an unquestionable upgrade over Kirk Cousins at this point? I mean, how can you say that with a straight face. I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying, like his

matchups going into like week fifteen and sixteen. I'm gonna pull up the strength of schedule real quick for from Fantasy Pros, which we were using last week to see who has the best remaining schedule for quarterbacks. But we talked. We spoke about this yesterday. Greg, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady haven't been great this year, and I know we'd like to project forward, but what do we have to go on that says that these guys are going to

be much better than Kirk Cousins down the stretch. I understand that you can't play all those running backs, but having the versatility and having you know, those matchups to be able to play I like that. I like that idea. So are looking at schedules here. They like Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Ben Roethlisberger. Those are guys that all have their inside the top seven at strength of schedule remaining, so I think I would I would rather lean towards getting one of those guys even on the stretch here.

I mean, I know Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady have the name value, but I haven't really done much. Tom Brady, according to Fantasy pro Stranger schedule, has the twenty third best scheduled remaining and Aaron Rodgers as the six. I will also say that Kirk Cousins has the third hardest schedule according to this list. So all three of those guys don't have great remaining schedules. If you want to try and turn Ingram into a breeze, a Cam Newton or a Big Ben whose schedules are a little bit

more favorable, I'm more likely to do that. But Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. This is one of those situations where I'm taking the name off the back of the jersey here. It's hard for me. It sounds really hard for me to take the name off the back of the jersey at this point in the year. And I get it. I was wronging about I was wrong about Brady last year when it came down to this, and Rogers already saw this out of him. There were weeks where I I had Jared Goldfranks, That's what thought. It

was crazy. That's what I'm saying. I was wrong last year were you were doing that, And I don't want to make the same mistake again. So I'll just be on your side in this one. Let me before we wrap up, Frank tight Ends to pick up for this man, Jeff Hireman, can you take me high? You're man? Um leads to Denver Broncos and red zone targets. Yeah. So when it comes to when it comes to Hireman and my my buddies listen to the program, they're they're hoping

that Jeff Hireman isn't the new rat. Oh the rat, the rat Damien Ratley. That was a flash in the pan. If I rec hopefully Hireman is better than that. Um other tight ends Smith back to back and a touchdowns? Is there anything here? Um? I like the fact that both of his touchdowns have come from within the red zone, so they're clearly drawing up plays. And since the Landy Walker has gone down, he's been on the field of ton Like he's playing a large majority of the snaps.

The thing is the Titans while we talk about targets share with guys like Corey Davis, and the reason he has such a high target share is because the Titans don't really throw the ball all that much. Greg. If you look at their offense at their core, they still do want to be a run first team. They want to pound the rock with Derrick Henry and with Dion Lewis.

So I'll take a stab on John Smith kind of similar to what we sawt of Chris Herndon earlier in the year, where Herndon was a scoring touchdowns every single week. Maybe Jonod Smith can keep this streak going. But for how long is he gonna do that? Because in the games where he doesn't score touchdown, he's not going to be great. We could say that about a lot of

tight ends this year. But he is training in the right direction, He's on the field a lot, he's get taking the red zone targets, So I am intrigued by him. I will say I would rather own Jeff Hireman or even Ricky Seals Jones because Ricky Seals Jones just had a just had nine targets in that game against the Kanda City Chiefs. Yeah, Ricky, Ricky Sealers Jones out of know where? Really? Uh? Monstro's game this past week r s j out of nowhere? Like okay, i'twhere I got it.

You didn't like that one. I thought I thought it was pretty good. Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. We told you to take the pick up the Cardinals this week against the Raiders. Cardinals are trying, Raiders are not yes, and look just stream m of defense against the Raiders. Moving forward, their offense has been putrid. Derek Carr hasn't looked good. They have our team off throw

out there. Surprised they were unknown to my league Carolina Panthers this week, Gregor not bad, not bad Frenzies and next for Frank Staffle. My name is Drex Susman. Good luck in your waivers this week. Talk to again tomorrow. We hope h
