NFL Week 13 Waiver Wire, Adds and Drops, and Playoff Help!

listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Fantasy best Friends Forever M To Do To Do, To Do, Do Do Do Do Do Do Don too Yeah is as the Fantasy best Friends Forever here on the Fantasy Sports Rare Network alongside Frankie stampell I am Greg Sauceman rights on Money Not Much Money, Night Football in the Books, Week twelves in the Books onto week thirteen for most the final week of the regular season where this could decide whether or not you make the Fantasy playoffs or not.

I know that we're in that position as well, myself, you and my Ga Florio on Team BFF that we share together. So it's crunch time. It's crunch time for the waiver wire and setting those lineups. Crazy. It certainly is, Frankie. We have everything on the line this week, and if you stilly help all the waiver wire, well we're here to help you do just that. Will go over the waiver wire as we do each and every Tuesday. And listen, there's those cool guys out there that are gonna help you.

You know, you know, let go to the bank, because what do you mean it for? At this point, we'll talk about some strategy, we'll talk about who you wanna go after, and I want to start there before we get into that, with a question. What's your question? Right? Does Lamar Miller suck? How do the field to know that you and Corey together have become the poster child for whenever Lamar Miller does anything good, anything, you two are the first ones to get hit up. How does

it feel? Tweets? How many tweets did you get last night? A lot? Literally? There's Greg More, Greg Martinez fourteen hours ago? Does Lamar's Miller still suck? There's Carl Anderson. Lamar Miller is something to say. I mean, you deserve it. Sam when you see you know, maybe you should talk to U Joe testa tour and find out whether or not Lamar Miller sucks. Estes not think Lamar Miller snacks. Yeah, if if I don't know if Christie bones around or if that play call is still up, if you want

to play that Lamar Miller call. Because I missed, I wasn't watching the game live at first. I missed the first quarter. I was out playing basketball Greg It's you know, it's the only cardio I get nowadays. Good. So I missed the first quarter. I missed a touchdown run and I'm watching it back on my phone and the person I'm with it was like, is that wrestling? They legit thought it was like Jim Ross from back in the day. That's how crazy Joe Testator goes. And I know that's

like a common topic for Gabe. I mean, it's it's pretty out there that calls pretty out there? Are you on the side of you support Testator in his I like t his exuberance most bear Sean McDonald, who is boring as hell. Um. If the thing is like you kind of need that happy medium now like a little over the top, you can't. I like Testatory because I like Gus Johnson. I like all those types of announces more so than a Jim Nance. I guess, um so I like Tests, I do. But but Nance to me

reminds me of like the happy medium, isn't he. That's why I brought it up because I like him more because McDonald was like too boring. Yeah, that's why I mean, Joe Bucks are happy me him. Also, like Joe Buck used to be super boring, and that's a good job. I just kind of hate it for it. And it's also you're at the point where, like you hear Joe Buck here Jim nancey know, it's a big game, like we're not there with Joe Testatory yet. I'm Michael obviously

um speakings Testory out of the hole. He put Carl's chasing sucks. Seven yards of glory. That's my favorite That is it. That's my favorite part. When you're nineties seven yards of glory in a regular season game between the Texts and the Titans. To me, none of that call was was like super outrageous as you built it up and as venture built it up until the end, nineties seven yards of glory glory, he broke that team in half. I didn't get JR from it, man, I didn't get it.

I like Tess I watched zero minute watch zero minutes of this game last night. I was nine. Do you think Jason Witten is getting better? Yeah, I mean people are really hard on him. They're really hard on the first year on the job. Like, yeah, I know. Look, a lot of people's um attack on Jason Witten is that there are a lot of people that can do the job better than him, that there's people that are more quality. Yeah, all right, you're not wrong about that.

But it's his first year, young job. Give you know he was improving, he's improving everyone's romo right away. No, they're not. They're absolutely not. Now announcing update I can do. I can do a entire shot and probably would probably start like your own like announcing podcast. Probably you work for all announcing realistic. I didn't apply for a job that once. I never heard back. But nonetheless, you want me to, uh put a good word. The game is front of the Ken Fang, So do you want me

to find out what's going on over there? Seven and seventy three rushing yards and three touchdowns this year? So on the great stat line? What any means? So it really does suck? He really does? Where does he Where does he rank? Amongst like running backs. This here because obviously I don't own him anywhere, like I took your advice, right, he sucks, so I didn't draft him. I'm looking at half point brs. That's okay with you, yep, in the

half we're looking at points per game. I was just looking at Accumulo now because ever, and he has amount Lamar Miller the top twenties. He's twenty one, I believe overall. If I haven't met, I'm sorry, twenty two. Overall, he doesn't suck. You know what's funny? The running backs that are just just passed him Isaihral, Austin Ekela and yeah, Lewis, why do you say Austin neck? Look like that's what

I do. It's like Lamar Miller's what I do. It's just little you really showing you stripes there, Greggy Austla. Don't you have on last night to marry is Tom? I don't have to watch the games? I have nothing. Well, did you you at least look at the box score? Yeah? I was following along on my phone. Why didn't you watch any of it? Why that one in net raw was much better than so I didn't watch true story about raw so I had did it pretty lately. Judy got home from work late. Um, so we didn't like

start cooking dinner. We made like like a chicken or zo kale thing. It's delicious, but it was very intensive. It's very intensive. There was like an hour. I can't chicken. It was like chicken. The chicken part is great. It's like it's like it's like it's like Costa. I know, it's like rice Posta. There's butter, right, so anyway, the only where you like in there is cal But anyway,

let's take a while to make. So we didn't like finish until like like a quarter to TenneT to recall on Lettuce, Greg Remain it's my dream come true, So recall all Lettuce. So then it's about like ten o'clock almost, and then we wanted to watch HBC from last night. It was intense episode. I've ever seen Hollidy Baking Championship. I didn't know that there was a acrony acronym for Baking Championship, Holiday Holiday Holiday Baking Championship, So it's very

it was a very intense episode. I've never seen Jones Abisa Ruthless. It was awesome. Um, so then we're at the point where it's not like ten thirty was all right, d to hear the options. You could either go to bed and I watched Monday Night Raw, or you can watch the Kardashians and I'll go watch the Net on the other room. Or we can watch this show we wanted to watch our showtime called Escape at Denamora, which about a prison escape. Football was never an option. It

was Titans Texans. I had no that both of us had no fantasy implications on the line. Yeah, but like Corey Davis played well, that was fun to watch. Both of us are no fantasy complications on the line whatsoever. Yeah, but like so we Shawn Watson's fun to watch. So we chose to watch Escape a Downama, which was very She was creeped out by it. She didn't creeped up by anything, so that was really good. Um, and then just watched The Haunting House on Haunting Hill. Yeah, you

told me about that. I don't like scarey things. So then it's like eleven third Now it's like eleven thirty ish were like a living forty. She goes to bed and I start watching watching when the Net raw at eleven fifty. I finished the three hour show at twelve ten. That's impressive. Yeah, yeah, I do. I stayed up two late last night. How do you go to bed? Was

the thing? Is? I go to bed, but then I like, and this is really bad, like you shouldn't do it, and I know you shouldn't do it, but I just like read articles for like an hour in bed right before I sleep to be. But I mean, so I didn't actually go to sleep till like one is late. I'd like to go to bed me eleven o'clock hour. When I hit the twelve, I got annoyed. M Grandpa Greggy. The point the point being, point being, it all circles back to the month night righte some monther night or

I couldn't be worse than this game. So I read two reviews and when then I read one review that actually pretty entertained, and Buddy texted me another review when that night, well, I said it was the worst episode they've ever seen their lives. It was horrible, all right, Yeah so you should you know, you should have watched me lose. Remember remember yesterday when I brought up watch a little basketball, I was, I was, I was up thirty. I had Corey Davis against Watson, DeAndre Hopkins and the

Texans defense. I didn't realize he had the Texans defense. I lost by four points. Greg I lost by four points. Corey Davis gives me that touchdown, and I'm freaking out because I go up by like ten points on my art. I got this locked up. It's like a quarter laugh. But like the Texans have it in the bag. I'm like the Shawn Watson goes and like running for fifty yards.

He has a career high rushing performance seventy one yards rushing in this game, and then throws a meaningless touchdown, like the Texans didn't need any of that, that whole fifty yard run and that touchdown, and then I end up losing by four points because like Derrick Henry fumbles at the end of the game. It's funny, it's like you gotta take the good in the bad with fantasy man.

But like that one just sucked because it was just such a roller coaster that like it went back and forth between like a thirty minute span where I was up with the Corey Davis touchdown. I felt so great. I was up ten points and de Shaun Watson just puts into my eye. It's funny because Junior was following along different matchup in her league where the second place team was playing the third place team, and she really

wanted to move up to third place. I told it doesn't matter here in third or fourth, like what's difference, But you know she's still learning. She wants to move the third place, so she's following with this matchup. You should want to finish as high as you possibly could. It does, it definitely can matter. It'll determine who right. But ultimately I understand that. But ultimately you want to match up with I'm in a fourth place, I don't really care. I wanted a third because I think the

sixth tees is just weaker than the fifth. You don't play in the league with Judy yet against her? Will you ever do that? Maybe one? But the point being she was watching this team and this team was without Girly this week, and they had last night Deshaun Watson and Key Qut and because that monster run at the end, they want by like point five points and like you've never seen that before, like literally eight point three, and

she's like, oh my god, Yeah, it's awesome. How many people went into last night up like twenty points against Lamar Miller and they're like, I got this in the back. How many people went up? You think how many people winning the game down twenty points with with DeAndre Hopkins and I tell you they put up thirty four points. He'd be like, I got that in the bag. Didn't happen and he had his he had his touchdown and streak snapped in this one. Marius Thomas, the invisible man

from weeks past. Two touchdowns for Damarius and yeah, and he reinjured his hamstring too, which is it's an entrustrating Jnald Smith though, John Smith, I mean, we're gonna talk about tight ends today. Tight End is a crapshoot. We know that all season long. It's like if you don't own Art's Kelsey Grant looked good this week, or like Eric Ebron because obviously now Jack Doyle has landed on the i R, It's like, who are you starting at

tight end? I have Trey Burton in the league, and up until about three four weeks ago, like he was serviceable, but he's been terrible. Trey Burton has been terrible, man. So it's like I'm trying to find tight ends now too.

And you know john Hu Smith Now, um, I know he didn't have the touchdown last week, he had the PPR performance where I believe he had six for forty so that's you know, ten ten points in a PPR from your tight end and then had a touchdown in three of his last four games, had a long touchdown yesterday. I know the targets aren't there, it's kind of flukey, but he's scoring. So you're looking for a tight end that's scoring. John Smith is scoring and they face the

Jets this week. So I think Jona Smith is kind of one of these tight end streamers. I agree he's one. He's one of these guys where he's not really doing anything else but scoring. But that's all you need. We said every week we get week got jon Nay Smith certainly an option for you at tight end, as is going back to the Chris Herndon Royal. Chris Herndon well as well. He had a queer height targets and receptions

this past Sunday. Yeah, the problem with Chris Herndon is that the Titans have actually been really really strong against tight ends this year. I mentioned the matchup a few weeks ago where they haven't allowed a single touchdown to a tight end all season long, and they were going up against the Colts, who have the most touchdown scored by tight ends this season, and the Colts didn't score a touchdown with the tight end in that game, So

advantage Titans. They just keep getting it done against tight end. So Chris Herndon, while he's getting the targets, seems to be a mainstay in the offense now, whether it's josh mccounter donald, I believe they've already said that Joshua Count's gonna start again this week. But I would actually I would rank John nuts Smith and even use Ama ahead of Chris Herndon. I know that Jeff Drischool is the

quarterback there, but that doesn't really mean anything to me. Like, you know, if you're a backup quarterback, you might even lean a little bit more on the tight end cd Usama just had thirteen targets, So give me the targets and what's likely the better matchup because against the Titans for Chris Herndon, and that's honestly the worst matchup you could have as the tight end. Yeah, yeah, fair enough. So Chris Herndon, not the option you want this week?

C j Uzama, What are they facing? Who do we got? What do we got for the Bengals this week? I don't know. I don't have Cincinnati on my list anywhere this week, alright, But you can talk about something else to me. Yeah, the other tight end I have on my list because I can't, I can't quit it. It's Denver, where Jeff Hiraman is out for the year, So we go with former New York Giant Matt Lacas. Yeah. When I saw this name on here, where's that? Where's that

lacass shirt? Yeah? I don't, I mean down. It's hard to replace the can you take Me High? You're man? And it's probably the last time you're gonna hear that on the show this season because he's landed on the I R. So that opens up the opportunity for the cost. But I'm not really I'm not really digging that great cost. The Bengals are facing the Denver Broncos is so yeah, Vin's McDonald should have scored a touchdown last week for the Steelers against the Bunch. Yeah, I like uh, I

like Usama. I would will we rank it Usama Johnny Smith. Funny because the thirteen targets, you know, thirteen targets tight end is crazy. Yeah, it's a lot of a lot of targets. Jeff Jusicale using that tight end. Of course, he's a new starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. Any interest in picking up Jeff driscoll. So I have a few quarterbacks listed here, just as like super flex guys where obviously in a one quarterback league, you know, you

have absolutely no interest in these guys. But like things are happening. Andy Dalton lands on the i R like Portals was bench yesterday. So we have we have quarterbacks becoming available. And again you're not gonna use these guys in a one quarterback league, but in super flex or two QB leagues. You know, Josh Allen, we should mention him, I mean rush for ninety nine yards again, he's gonna

be inconsistent. Colte McCoy. Uh, you know I mentioned when Colte McCoy became a starter because of the injury to Alex Smith, that he's gonna take more chances. And we've certainly seen that Alex Smith, one of the most conservative quarterbacks in the league. Colpe McCoy does throw for three interceptions, but also throw us for two touchdowns. He's more likely to throw into tighter windows, which helps the weapons and and we'll get into that a little bit later on.

But Jeff driscoll and Cody Kessler both come in here as all right, not the most sexy names in the world by any means, but if you're if you're stuck in a super flex league, if you had Blake Bortles or you had any dalton Um, you know, I would look at Josh Allen Coulte McCoy first, but Jeff driscoll and Cody Kesler just because their quarterbacks were starting job, You're gonna look at those guys in super flex or

two QB leagues. Nothing more than that. Okay, so nothing more than that, Uh for a guy like Jef d school, what do you come back some of the other quarterbacks. Frank we just mentioning we'll got to Lamar Jackson again and talking about his performance Jameis Winston. Some names are on the top of the lest last week, are back

on the top of the list this week. And then we'll get into the fun stelf the running backs, the wide receivers, how much you're spending, how important it is to get certain guys, and Freak and I have a bit of a disagreement or the bag. Let's talk about it. We come back that and more. Fantasy best Friends Forever Fannis Sports. Our 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.

Back with your Fantasy best friends Forever Fantasy Sports. Ready to network. Frank Stanville, Gregg Suspen with you. Let's quickly

right with the quarterbacks, right? You need everyone's back, right, everybody's back, and if you fighting for the playoffs, you can't be starting any of these guys, right, Like, that's

probably not a thing. Why do you? Why not if you were stacked everywhere else, but you were just kind of streaming quarterbacks all year and now you get to this point that you know if you were the guys streaming Winston and if it's Magic or you know, if you had any Dalton in your line up for whatever reason, then yeah, you might have guys like Lamar Jackson or Baker Mayfield in your line up. I could see that as a possibility. Okay, So which who would you want

to start this week? Baker Mayfield, James Winston, Lamar Jackson. Which of those guys are you starting? Well? I still do trust Jamis Winston the moment, just based on the volume matchup too. He faced the Carolina Panthers and we just saw what Russell Wilson and the Seahawks did. You asked me yesterday, you know what's going on with the Panthers? Why why do they keep losing games? It's you know, the defense hasn't helped them out much. Especially you know,

we just saw Russell Wilson throw for multiple touchdowns. I know Stafford in the lines. They didn't put up a ton of points in that game. But then the week before that, it was the Pittsburgh Steelers, where you know, they dropped a fifty burger on the Carolina Panthers. So their defense has not been great. The volume is always going to be there for Jameis Winston. The game is in Tampa Bay, but I still do expect them to be trailing in this game. I haven't I haven't looked

at the spreads yet. I'll pull those up to see what Vegas expects for this game. But just based on the volume and the opportunity and the fact that the Panthers defense is not playing that well, I'll always always lean Jamis over these guys. Uh. But it's close when you're talking about like Lamar Jackson VERSU Baker Mayfield. Okay, yeah,

I think it is tough. But what's interesting about Lamar Jackson, as I understand, he had seventy one rushing yards in this one, but it seemed like he was more apt to pass or take chances with his arm. That the game plan was very, very different than we saw two

weeks ago, especially in the first half. And I was sweeting about it was it was very Uh, it was very odd to me that, um, I believe you know, he had like something like when he passing attempts in the first half, but they only had ten total rushing attempts. Mind you, only two of those were Lamar Jackson in the first half. And I believe eight of them were for Gus Edwards. So it seems like they were making a concerted effort to not get Lamar Jackson killed, which

is exactly what we spoke about a week ago. So they tried to short those things up a little bit. But for a guy like Lamar Jackson, he has to be able to make plays with his legs, but you have to be smart about how he makes those plays with those legs have him run out of bounds. You know. The only problem that we had with Lamar Jackson running as much as he did, you know, the twenty seven rushing attempts two weeks ago, was the fact that he was getting killed every time he was touching the ball.

So I mean, yeah, you could give him ten fifteen rushing attempts, and you could have some of these designed runs, but you just have to be smart about how you do it. So I thought that they tried to make a concerted effort for him to stay in the pocket

and try and get things done with his arm. But ultimately, when the Ravens were able to take off in that game was when they started to mix up the offense and let him run a little bit and let Gus Edwards run a little bit, so, um, I appalled them for trying to see what he could do with his arm, but he also threw I threw a few more interceptions here, So, um, Lamar Jackson is still very raw as a passer, and that's that's exactly what we expected. Um, I would expect.

I would expect him to be in that category for you know, you want him more for his rushing potential than than you want him for his arm. Obviously, absolutely, and this week it should be be Lamar Jackson game. It should be make Lamar Jackson game. But I'll say this, Baker Mayfields also been really good as late and really consistent as a late as well. They're running the ball, but they're also trusting their their their quarterback. I think

it's awesome between those guys. If I had to choose, I'll give me the matchup, give me the matchup with Lamar Jackson. And I know it's close. Baker Mayfield. You know he's throwing multiple touchdowns in I believe five straight games now, and uh, I know PFF had an awesome tweet about this, a graphic involving pretty much every single week over the past four weeks, he's improved, like his his fantasy production and his passing touchdown totals, so he's

getting better. He through for four touchdowns last week. We have to remember that was against the Bengals. We just saw the Texans defense of what they did to uh the Tennessee last night, and the Titans. I know that the Titans offense is not a juggernaut by any means, but when I'm not putting the Browns in the in the conversation of jargonnaut either, certainly not so. I think it's a little bit of a tougher matchup for for

Baker here, but I do think he's safe. I think he's proven now that he's safe for at least multiple touchdowns, So again, I like him. Just give me the matchup for Lamar Jackson. I think we might see a little bit more back and forth here between the Falcons and the Ravens. They might have to put up some more points and just that rushing floor that he gives you every single week. It's close, but I'll take Lamar Jackson

over Baker. Okay, fair enough. Now, any other quarterbacks you want to get into, you want to just jump into the running backs to wide receivers, did have anyone else here listed? Dak Prescott just against New l And Saints. Dad has been great since since Mark Cooper has come

over for fan Jack has been absolutely fantastic. In fact, he's rushburk touchdown in four of his last five games, including the last three, So even though he's not running a huge volume inside that red zone and in particularly inside that ten, he's using his legs. Dak has been awesome since the Mark Cooper got there. Yeah, he has. But I know, saying, you know, credits of the Saints defense, they've been a lot better as well. This isn't this

the same defense that matter? And you might you might have that vision that, oh, you start all your wide receivers, you start every quarterback against the against the New Roland Saints. I mean, how did that work out for Matt Ryan last week? Matt Ryan was not great. I know, he fumbled a few times inside the red zone. But the Saints defense over the last month or so are in fantasy points allowed two quarterbacks, so they're actually closer to being one of the better teams in the league over

the past month against quarterbacks than not. But Dak Prescott, I'm buying in especially with a Mariy Cooper playing as well as he has had a monster game against Washington on Thanksgiving, so I just thought I would throw Dak Prescott out there as well. I know he's owned in a large number of leagues. Now he's over Like, yeah, I didn't realize that people are buying at the deck man.

There's a lot of cowboy fans out there, Greg, You're right, I do not realize that when I then want to look up the total between the Ravens and the Falcons forty nine points. Interesting, this game is basically a pick him right now, Greg, between the Falcons and the Ravens. And that's with the oddsmakers knowing that it's likely Lamar Jackson this week in Atlanta inside the Dome on the fast track total there, and then you get the Brownies.

They don't have a total right now, but the Texans are favorite at six and a half at home, which I think that spread makes sense the way the Texans are playing. I know, I know the Browns are playing well too, but Texans are an eight game winning streak and they play play great at home. So there's no total there yet though. I just total of the week. What do we have? Fifties six for the Panthers and Bucks, fifty four and a half for the Lions and Rams,

and then fifty five for the Raiders and Chiefs. Obviously, you know whoever the Chiefs or the Rams play is always gonna be high total there. But yeah, those look like the three highest ones as of right now. The Panthers and Bucks highest total of the week points looks three and a half point home dogs against the Panthers, Greg, Yeah, the Bucks suck. Look pretty good against forty niners last week. Forty niners is what we do with the Giants? Man, I don't understand, but hey, the Pants doing on a

three games losing street looks suck. Let's take points here, gregs do that all right? I want to get into the running backs and wide receivers though, for real, Frank and you had to pull a little while ago before the program asking you who the number one waiver claim of the week was. Can you name those four players please? It is Nahem Haines, the Indianapolis Colt, Justin Jackson with the Chargers, Adam Humphries with Tampa Bay, and Josh Dockston

of Washington. Would you like to know the results. Eight seven votes in Adam Humphries number one, number two, ahem, HEINZ thirty but it's pretty close and in Justin Jackson. So then you know there's no one that's running away with it right now? Do you have anything you'd like to add about the poll? Grad I knew and I said this to you when you walked in here, I go, why didn't you add Carlos Hide to the poll? Because it doesn't make sense to me that you didn't. LETTERD

four Nette suspended for one week. Now he could appeal and play this week and we'll see. Maybe if that appeal process it will help you in the playoffs potentially Carlos Hide starts. It's a one week thing. Justin Jackson. It's a backup for some reason, he's included on this poll. Don't really get that one. He's back up to the backup. So I'm surprised Carlos Hide and t J Yels and well, Carlos Hide has a ne role. It's a negative game

script against the Indianapolis. Every game's in the negative game script. Yeah, the Colts are favored by four points in Jacksonville, but Jackson's offense I believe is going to be based around in the run, which is what we've seen with Letter of four Net in the past. I think they'll try to do the same thing with Carlos Hide. Yeah, but the thing is it's only for one game still. I don't think the same one will change With Justin Jackson. You know, he's gonna get at least I think he's

gonna get at least ten touches per week. And if something were to happen to Austin Ekeler, then you're looking at Joustin Jackson as an RB two and anything could happen. So just given the injury to Melvin Gordon, he's out what we suspect to be at least two weeks, it could I think we'll be closer to four weeks. I think. Yeah, I just I want a piece of that that that charges offen. It's very potent. Even this year when Melvin Gordon was doing in this thing. Austin Ekeler has been

in the flex discussion all season long. Gregg. If I'm looking more, you know, I think Justin Jackson can help you out for longer term rather than Carlos Hyde, who I think it is just a one week fix. But that one week he can he can help you, you know, get to the playoff is what we're talking about. And that's why I think more he should have been this It's more relative to context, because if you need to win this week, then Carlos Hide is probably your guy.

If he needs to win this week, I'm going all in on Carlos out. And if he got left, you need to win this week to get in the playoffs. Every dime you have should go on Carlos Hide. Yeah, I think that's fair to say. I mean, can't you say something similar about nihem Heins because Marlin Marlon mc deealing with the concussion, and Nahim Hines look pretty good now now he looks he looked, He's looked pretty good all season long. Actually, concussions are or tough right for

all we know more than Mac made clear concussion protocol tomorrow. Now. It doesn't usually happen like that. Guys usually miss a week or so. Um the last talk to me about it on Thursday. But as much as I love the Naim Hides, but I know he's starting this week, I don't know for sure right now, I do know, I guess as you can say the same thing is letter for that appeal. I mean, look, why would why would

the league rescind this suspension? They won't. I mean, you could play through the appeal process, but I'm pretty sure the appeal is get I don't already read somewhere that it's gonna happen this week, Like the appeal is gonna happen the process, Okay, so it'll be this week. So then the other thing is with Jacksonville out of it, right, Jacksonville obviously eliminated. They're they're not going anywhere. They're really a culture, right. Is it possible that they don't want to?

I don't know. Letter Fran has been banged up all year. They want to make sure he's healthy going into the off season. See what they have in Carlos Hide. Let's see what they have. But I don't want to injure their franchise corner stone. Is that possible? Camera? White camera, please, white camera, Greg, here's what you're doing, white camera. See what I'm doing right here. I'm reaching for you, Greg, I'm reaching. I'm reaching it hard. Yeah, you just can't

get it done. I think you're reaching a big I think you're reaching a little bit here. I thought about that too, Like the thought across my mind, like maybe you know Leonard Fournett the discipline, Tom Coughlin being the disciplinarian he is in the front office whatever, but like tells the team, like, you know, let's discipline in Leonard Fournete ourselves and not use him as much on the stretch.

But when you invest, when you invest as high of a draft pick in for net as you do, and he's finally healthy, I think outside of suspension games, if he's healthy, he's he's gonna play. He's gonna be the work horse. Okay, so there you go. So not Frankie, that's all that interesting in Carlo's hide going forward is one thing. He's one. He's gonna be in the flex discussion. But I this game is undoubtedly going to be a

negative game. Script. It's just a matter of how far into the game, Like is it like four teenship in the first quarter, because then if that's the case, then we probably get a lot of yelling. But if it's all right, if it's like fourteen seven at the half and they're like kind of hanging around, then they probably want to establish the run and keep Andrew Luck off the field, and the guy to do that will be

Carlos High. So it's gonna be very game flow dependent within the game, and you're not gonna know that going in. Unless you just think that the uh are gonna cream them, then then you probably lean in uh Yelden's camp. Okay, so all in on A nine Hines, then all in on I definitely if you're the Marlon mac owner, like, yeah, I mean you should have and we we've been banging the table telling you to get your handcuffs for however

long now. But forty owned is niheim Hines. T J yelled in, so likely not available in your league, But then Carlos had thirty eight percent, so hi didn't Hines are in the same camp. If I'm a Marlin NAC owner, I'm gonna be the most aggressive on niheim Hines. If it's just in a vacuum and I need to win this sweet, I'll go with Carlos Hide. I think he's one A. I think niheim Hines is one b um.

And then if you're just thinking about like the long term, or if you're like an Eckler and a Melvin Gordon owner, then I'm looking at Justin Jackson. There's like there's a lot of context going into like which running back you want to try and get this week, but ultimately if you just need to win, I think Carlos Hide is one A and then Niheim Hines is one B. Okay,

but going forward, you'll that's different. That's separated. Yeah, Like if I have already locked up the playoffs and maybe I'm just looking like the final couple of weeks of the season, three or four weeks, probably leing with Justin Jackson. You're leading with Justin Jackson. Now, Frank, he's a bit higher on Justin Jackson. I am to me, I believe it's gonna be Austin Ekeler and all all Austin Ekeler. Maybe that's that's silly because we haven't seen it be

all Austin Ekeler before. They want to use a bigger back at some point that's Justin Jackson is well. Look, it's worth mentioning that in that game where the London game where Melvin Gordon missed against the Tennessee Naton's Austin Ekeler did play of the snaps. But I'd have to into it. I don't know if Justin Jackson was like a healthy scratch. Was he even on the team? Um, you know, did he get any snaps in that game? I don't Also earlier earlier this season, he's not as

worn down. I don't know that Ekeler is like the guy that's like built to touch the ball twenty times a game. He's kind of like a smaller, like he's like a stocky dude. But I don't know. I think he's more of like the Alright, we'll give him fifteen sixteen touches. He'll get his you know, ten to twelve carries and his whatever five six targets, whatever it might be. He'll be in you know, he'll be in the mid

to high teams for touches. But then I do think just because when Melvin Gordon was doing everything that he was doing, Austin Ekeler was still getting touches as well throughout the season. So Austin Neckler kind of steps up to that Melvin Gordon role and Justin Jackson steps since that Austin nel role, and Ekeler has been in the

flex discussion all year. So that's kind of how I'm looking at Justin jacks Okay, Justin Jackson you prefer him long term to any of these guys, because he may have even if it's a complimentary role, a role going forward. Justin Jackson guy that Frank really likes this week? Would you rather have not this week and forward? Would you

rather have Justin Jackson or Rex burkehead? That was That was a question that I asked earlier this morning to you where Rex Burke had officially activated off of injured reserve yesterday. He could be active on the game roster as soon as this Sunday, but if he does anything, he becomes much more expensive obviously in the weeks ahead. What do you think Rex burkeheads roll will be going forward if he has one? Greg, we're right back to the Bellatris right, like we we could try. I always

hate when people say Bellatris never does. I mean it's kind of cool. I enjoy it. I hated it. Yeah, well you kind of hate everything. No, not true. I like fun stuff, like like a named Kendrick Borne. Is that that fun? Though? Like I just kind of proved to myself this past week, it's not that funny. But the bellat tricks. You know, you know what we're bad? You know? He says that Jake Seeley says that not cool. I didn't say you did when it comes to Rex Burkehead.

But we try our best to make a prediction here, but really like nobody knows. I don't even think Bill Belichick knows right now. Um, I'll take Justin Jackson just because he's one of two, whereas Rex Burkett is one of three. You can argue that the Patriots is like more potent offense and the Chargers, but like at this point, is it like the Charger's offense is really good as well? So I'll take Justin Jackson just because he's one of two, and we know that Melvin Gordon's gonna miss anywhere from

two to four weeks. Um Burkehead, I would say Burkett has a higher upside of the two because he can he can take on that Dion Lewis roll where we saw it down the stretch last year when Dean Lewis was on the field. But we can't constantly say about Dean Lewis when he was with the Patriots was when he's on the field, you don't know whether the Patriots are going to run or pass, and they love that

deceptive nous. So when somebody sells on the field, you kind of have a good feeling that they're gonna run. When James White is on the field, you kind of have a good feeling that they're gonna pass. Rex Burke ittt he's the closest running back that they've had to like that Dion Lewis Roll where when he's on the field, you don't know whether they're going to run or pass, because it's kind of like that's with army knife. He can carry the ball, he can catch the ball out

of the back field. He's good and pass protection. It's kind of like that, you know, prototypical, just another like White player that kind of like fits into like the new England Patriots offensive scheme of things. So with all that being said, Um, if I had to choose one, I would take Justin Jackson just because he's one of two. But Birkhead I do think is worth mentioning. He's on this list as well. He's one of four running backs. Um, if you're looking down the stretch, you don't need a

guy just for this week. I think he's kind of in that Justin Jackson Roll. I like Birkhead. I like Justin Jackson a little bit more. Where do we come back? We'll list any other running backs do you need to know about, and then we'll get into the wide receivers, which they're not very fun either, So stick around. There's a lot more coming your way.

I just want to remind you the entire Lamar Miller sucks bit him from me last year, loving Lamar Miller and Corey get trying to tell me he sucks, and eventually I bought it. Vot it bought in at the wrong time. Greg didn't buy back in running back many than he's

better than me, much better than us. Frank, who's better than us? Reli who's better than us? Oh? Nobody, exactly not, probably definitely alright, any other running backs Frank on the way over wide this week? You picking up? No, I think we're gonna hit on it. I know some people in the chat are talking about Chris Thompson. We're really gonna do the Chris Thompson thing again, guy, guys like the guy has been in and out of the lineup

all year. Washington's offensive line is completely banged up. Like, what are like, what are you hoping for with Chris Thompson that he could become like Jalen Richard at this point? The guy can't stay healthy. He's an extremely talented, explosive player when he is healthy, but that hasn't been the

case all season long. Adrian Peterson Capri bibs. Also, they're like I mentioned Chris Thompson's name, Like, look, if you're playing a fourteen team PPR with like deep benches, like okay, deeper leagues all right, but in your standard twelve team, like I'll take everybody that we've mentioned today over Chris Thompson, that's a that's a bow on the running backs. I totally agree that agree with that considered the running backs completed wide receivers. Frank, there's other really new out here.

There's nothing that all of a sudden, we're just like, you gotta go out and get this guy. Don't think he exists. I know one name that's been on my list, Josh Doxson when I picked him up a couple of weeks ago when I was desperate for a starting spot. And Dowson has been good last week now against with Colt McCoy at quarterback, UH season high in yards, receptions, targets, all across the board. He did it and it was like McCoy is willing to go down the field a

little bit more. And if that's the case, better for Jordan Reid. Better Josh Dockson. So I do like Josh Dockson, but like am I saying, you have to go out and get Josh Dawsons and must go out and get Josh Doxon. I'm pretty excited about joshun really specifically for this matchup against the Eagles. Man, the Eagles secondary is completely you know, ravaged by injury, and I know, you know, Odell Beckham didn't have the monster game that we were

all hoping that he would have. But it's a good matchup. The Eagles have given up fantasy points to wide receivers all season long. Uh, they're extremely injured. And her our friend of the program, Greg Ray Summerlin with Rural World. UM, I was listening to the Rural World podcast on the way in today. Of Colt McCoy's fifty past attempts this season, fifteen of them have gone towards Josh Jockson. That's the

thirty percent targets here. Greg, That's a massive number. So I'm pretty excited about Josh Jackson back to back games with at least seven targets. He had ten targets on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys. Great matchup against the against the Philadelphia Eagles. I play in a standard league, Greg, where you have to start three wide receivers and two flex

and two running back. So it's a little bit of a deeper starting wind up, and I'm trying to pick up Josh Jackson in that league and play me against the Eagles. Alright, So Josh Dawson, very excited for him. Is here number one wide receiver target this week, he isn't just because the ownership percentage is not high enough for Josh Reynolds. He's sixty O. I think the barometer normally is like sixty five. Like if you're below that, people might have dropped him just because the Rams were

on top. So go out and make sure that Josh Reynolds isn't available. He's not gonna be Cooper Cup. He's not gonna be a top twenty wide receiver, but maybe a top thirty six wide receiver consistently. We just saw him score in that game against the Chiefs. I mean, everybody scored in that game against the Chiefs. But you want a part of the Rams offense, this is an

easy way to get exposure there. And I would also rank Adam Humphries greg I would rank Adam Humphries ahead of Josh Dockson right now with with what he's doing. He's kind of been in and out of the lineup in in my home league all year long. I've had him some weeks. I've started. I started this past week. But Sean Jackson is dealing with a thumb injury. We don't know what his status is as of right now.

That would obviously help Chris Godwin as well. But Adam Humphreys is a guy who you know all year long. We're kind of find out, like, all right, well, which which WOS wide receiver besides Mike Evans is gonna be this week. Adam Humphries has been pretty consistent at least fifty receiving yards in five straight games. He's done it in six of his last seven. He scored four touchdowns in his last four games. He's scored in back to back games. So Adam Humphrey is not your typical guy

that you look at to score touchdowns. He's like a smaller slot receiver, but you're the slot greggy. And we're going up against the Carolina Panthers, who have bled to fantasy points to wide receivers recently. So I'm in on Adam Humphreys. I would say Reynolds, Adam Humphreys, Josh Dockson. I actually like that wide receiver group this week in terms of the waiver wire. Yeah, I'm I'm with you. I agree those are the guys that you want. Humphreys, Dockson,

and Josh Reynolds. But they're all names that we've spoken about before. They're not just really low man, Adam Humphreys owned. Maybe maybe those are the leagues where like people are still paying attention and like they're still in it, you know, much helper to look at ownership persentage time. It seems a little bit too low to be. Yeah, I get that, Josh Dockson, What do I mean his is low to I mean there's a few of the wide receivers here that we can mention in deeper lease. Curtis Samuel, who

you dropped, right, I dropped. I dropped for Kendrick Bourne of the Board Identity whatever, great favorite name in the world. But Curtis Samuel getting a little bit more involved in the offense. Target share still isn't necessarily there. The offense runs directly through Christian McCaffrey and even d J. Moore now, and we don't know what the status of of Divin Funchiuses at this point. But Curtis Samuel, guy who's coming

around a little bit. They're getting him out in space, they're using him in the rush game a little bit, trying to find ways to manufacture touches for Curtis Samuels. So od it was worth mentioning him, and then Bruce Ellington, who you know has been targeted quite heavily over his last two games since Marvin Jones has gone down and Marvin Jones has landed on i R. He's done for the season. That came out yesterday, so this isn't like an upside play, but he's had at least seven targets.

He's had at least six receptions in every game since Marvin Jones has gone down. So in PPR league specifically, maybe deeper leagues, it's worth mentioning Bruce Ellington. I agree. I think that brucelling the lines face the Rams this week too. They'll be throwing, throwing all game. I actually picked up Bruce Ellington for this exact reason, knowing that they have the Rams coming to the knowing that Marvin

Jones is banged up. Listen, I'm gonna say this, if you're trying to make the playoffs, you're starting a guy like Bruce Ellington this week, things aren't going well for you. I mean, that's probably why you're fighting to get into the playoffs, right, It's because you know you got a guy like Bruce Ellingson, But maybe you were Marvin Jones owner, right, and you're just scrambling trying to find a wide receivestrip. We like the three wide receivers we mentioned earlier, Reynolds, Docks,

and Humphreys. But if those guys are gone, you're playing a deeper league. Bruce Ellington and Curtis Samuel are the next two up, the last couple of pieces here of players we want you to consider picking up. You know, Trey Quinn uh slot and also he did the uh the Microlcott dance. Tray Quinn is a guy that comes up to my mind, and he didn't actually write him on here. Um. Ryan Switzer for Pittsburgh, also playing the slot.

He played nine of the slot reps fort Pittsburgh. Juicu only played ten, which is a season low for Judice for the Sues start. It's first time because he's been getting regular playing time that he did not finish number one inning the slot for Pittsburgh. So but I've been a little bit changing the guard in the slot. Vance McDonald a little banged up this week, maybe even more. Ryan Switzer, just as deep lead named a quan I app for I think that's a good call. Gray. I

didn't know those numbers about the slot. So that's that's really interesting considering the fact that you do had his best game of his career right yesterday, I mean, not necessary, but Sunday. Yeah, so this past week and he did it on the outside. So that's that's worth noting for Juju. I think so too. Streaming defense is this week the Bills. We've talked about them for a while now Buffalo faces

Miami this week. Miami looks a little bit better with Ryan's Hanna a little bit, but it might be a little bit being off the Bills a little bit not you know, I thought they were gonna do better than they did against the Jaguars this week. Maybe, you know, maybe my expectations were just too high, so a little little bit. Yeah, I'll mentioned I'll mentioned the Rams. Greg. I think I think a keep to lead is. I

know he was expected to return in a week. Third team will obviously find out later in the week whether that's going to happen, but I mean he'll be a big boost to this offense and they're already the second highest scoring UH Fantasy defense in terms of thin points per game. Obviously, a lot of that came in the Chiefs game, where you know, they just went crazy. But I mean they have, you know, a few of the biggest, the best defensive players in the league in terms of

playmakers and Aaron Donald and Domikins to Marcus Peters. He takes a lot of chances, but sometimes those chances pay off and then you get it keeps lead back too. So I think it's worth mentioning the Rams going up against the Lions, who their offensive line is not played that great. Um. You know, Stafford has been taking a lot of sacks. So I like the Rams against the Detroit Lions if anyone dropped them because of their bye week. Okay,

so there you go. The Rams, Uh a possibility against Detroit and the City a possibility against Oakland, two teams that were on to buy uh Danny Olakers or or doing Danny auto Kansas City because they're facing Oklan. I was like, Danny's so proud of you that you're playing matchups. Yeah. I liked them a lot too. They're here as a streaming defense. Uh. They also had a defensive touchdown against

the Rams in that game, and their defensives. You know, it's come along, you know, like the Chiefs were brutal to start the season. I real. They signed a few guys and signed a few veterans in there, and they've played better in The Oakland Raiders offense is just tread I know. You know, they surprisingly scored uh some points against the Baltimore Ravens, but ultimately on the season, they're amongst you know, I think one of the top one of the bottom five teams in terms of offensive scoring

this year. Here, So the Chiefs against the Raiders, I think that's that's worth mentioning. And then I think this team is probably owned. But the Titans against the Jets, it's like just stream anyone against the Jets right now. Total, we've gotten to that point with the Jets totally and Green. I'm also I have no choice. I was thinking on the Brownies this week. You can look at the Brownies against the Texans am Houston. I don't love it. Craig, Well,

should I see the houses out there? Frank yeah, sure, because I have I had the Lions for next week and I'm ready to go for my playoffs. Where do the Lions have again next week? Is it's like Buffalo or something? Arizona? I think Arizona, Yes, that's pretty good. They play Arizona and Buffalo the next two weeks. I think, right is what it is? What I told you, Well, after they face the Rams, accidentally put the they placed Arizona Buffalo fourteen. Who's on who's on your free agency

that you can look at? Let's find out because I haven't I'm really thinking. But let's play the waiver wire with Greg Sussman. Uh. This week on the waiver wire, Oh, we have the Browncos Broncos based Inincinnati. It's a good one. I like that one. That's a good one. And the Seahawks face San Francisco, so that's a good one too. Pretty good. Yeah, is that game in Seattle? It is solid, very nice. I have the Bills against Miami. Greg, in my home leagues, do you like one of those other

defenses more? The Titans are available in the Jets. Probably like the Titans more than you like the Bills. Right, also have the Dolphins on the other side of that game playing s the Bill is probably not a bad call there either. The Broncos. I like the Seahawks call too. Against San Francisco. It is pretty good Broncos in Seattle. There's a lot of streaming defenses this week. Good week for streaming defenses. It's funny because I don't know, I have no idea how much money. And this is more

of a strategy question. I want to ask you, like, I don't know how much money to leave myself for the playoffs? Have no idea. Well, I know your league rules are weird. Are you actually allowed to make pickups throughout the playoffs? How much money do you have left? Uh? I played three dollars on the defense, that's fair. Is there anyone else that you're gonna be aggresive on? These Jackson's of the world or Justin Jackson and Carlos? Those only two guys are out there that you need Carlos

hide this week. I'm I'm in the playoffs, okay, So yeah, I mean I'd throw a few bucks on Justin Jackson, six bucks something like that. How much would you leave for the playoffs? So if you have twenty one and you drop like eight, leave like, yeah, I think that's fine, that's a good idea. I only have three dollars left my home league, so I'm just kind of like spending

what do I do? I've probably spent like a dollar on the defense this week, and then, as you know, Greg I'm making the playoffs despite like not really wanting to make the playoffs. It's the weirdest fantasy season I've ever played my home leak keeper league. There's teams that have made playoffs and like there's like the Dynamo super teams, and I have the second fewest points scored in this league and I'm like the five seed right now. Just really weird. Do I want to make the playoffs? It's

weird season. Greg's interesting. I'm sorry reading Jake's playoff flex emount Okay, stop reading any Actually six teams make the playoffs, alright, so I think I'm third and year fourth, Thanks mam. Let's go holding down boom. I feel like Adam Cole baby boom. Is this something he does now? He's been doing that for a while. I'm watching a long time Jesus man um. All right, uh, last few things of the program. Let you know, let sign off YouTube now I want to sign off YouTube. Was tay goodbye to

everybody watching. Come up next Fantasy Ball Frenzy, Corey Parson, Jim Day and the Closer Chris Fincher WIBB be covered to get out their game balls as they do each never tuesdays to make sure you are stay tuned for that.

You don't listen live, rate us like us and give us five stars and leave a comment, and you're listening live all the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We go for another four

and a half minutes. All right, Frankie La portals benched for Cody Takla. What are we doing? Nathaniel Hackett fired a fun someone's gotta be the scapegoat, right, as we mentioned, not necessarily Nathaniel Hackett's fault probably you know that guy who got bench, probably a little bit of his fault too. In Blake Bortles, probably a little bit of Duck Marown's faults as well. We'll go with Cody Kessler here, which

I don't think that they're ever going to there. They're not gonna be an offense that passes all that much. But in terms of for their weapons, I think Cody Kessler being there probably helps. But honestly, you're not starting Dante Moncrief anyway, You're not starting g D. Westbrook, and I just don't see how the offense can be a lot worse with Cody Custer than with Blake Portles. So what happens, but probably a lot of h probably just a lot of running the football more than the same

from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okay, so that's Maron. You also had Tom Conflin to actually come out today and say, well, you know, I don't regret anything we did in the off season because we were one bad call away resigning Blake ports We are one bad call away from the plant from the super Bowl, so we have to go for it. But you know, obviously they have to reevaluate things. Clearly. Jeff driscoll and new story quarterback Sincinnati with any Dalton

don't over the year. I cannot believe Jeff driscoll Um the starting quarterback in the NFL. I remember him at Florida. He had a good freshman year, then wound like going transferrings like Louisiana State. Louis had a tech or something like that. It was very strange, and here he is Joco now starting. You know who their backup quarterback is though? Is it Bruce Gregkowski? No? Two more guesses. Uh, it's

it's a Tom Savage. Tom Savage. Once again the backup quarterback leave San Francisco and heads over to sinc Nati oh Man. Tom Savage is the same quarterback that started over to Shawn Watson. Never forget it, Never forget, never forget Bill O'Brien, the great offensive mind that he is. Jeff Driscoll, we were a touchdown to Tyler Boyd last week. Look,

Jeff Driscol, you're not expecting much here. Just get the ball to your best players, Jeff, the ball to Tyler Boyd, to AJ Green and to cj us Alma because obviously we need tight ends. And you know what, greg I looked into target share this Sunday with Joe Mixon. You got seven of seven targets is here, but only has like thirtent of the targets share in the season. In my mind, Joe Mixon should be one of these Todd Gurley, Melvin Gordon, the way that like they're used in the

past game, that's how Joe Mixon should be used. That's a part of the reason, the reason why, like Marvin Lewis, you gotta go like clean house. We need like all new minds in here so to get the most out of your weapons in Cincinnati, because Joe Mixon should be utilized more in the past game in my opinion. Now I do wanna. I do want to mention that um Jack Doyle out for the season. He was placed on I R yesterday, which is good for Eric Even he'll

get back in the saddle. He's been, as we kept saying, a red zone threat and that is it. Now he'll be on the field for more than plays he was back ups about eighty or so, which is good for him. They'll see a lot of mo Alei Cox as well. Uh, eric On. This is only great news for er run per Evan Silva, I saw his tweet yesterday regarding this. In games that Jack Doyle did not play this year, might on average ten targets per game, So that would

just be phenomenal. You know, he's he's entrenched as the top five tight end rest of season regardless, just because of how he's gonna be used. Greg, I'll raise the question to you, yep, does this open up an opportunity for Moli Cox because we know the Colts used two tight ends. If you're desperate, I think there's a lot of ten ends out there, Like I'd rather take an opportunity, probably one of the Rams tight ends. He could be coming back. I think I around think of shot in

Gerald Ever or Tyler Habe at that point. Um then Moriley Cox. Yeah, I see what you're saying. More potent offense, but targets share in terms of like how often Andrew Luck throws to the tight end? Do I get that? So that's gonna do it for us tomorrow, a brand new initiation of the program. Your calls, We're gonna do on Wednesdays. I have no idea, we'll figure it out. It love a team meeting. It's gonna be interesting. Now up next, Fast Well Frenzy with Corey, Jim and Chris

Frank Staffle. My name is Greg Sausen. Thank you so much for watching, Listening and the Fantasy Best Friends Forever. We'll do it all again tomorrow, we hope,
