Welcome inside Studio thirty four. This is the Fantasy Best Friends Forever and I am Frank Stafell have a fun show planned for you today. You're gonna recap last night's game, a barn burner between the Seattle Seahawks and the San

Francisco forty Niners. The formerly undefeated San Francisco forty Niners also going to be taking a deep dive into the waiver wire today running backs, wide receivers QB streams, tight end streams, defensive streams. And to help me do that, my good buddy, e Why Eric Young? What's going on you? Why? Frankie? Another beautiful day in Nashville. When I say beautiful, uh, it's frozen, it's snowed a little bit. People are panicking and not going to work. It's absolutely hilarious for a

person that lived in Canada. Um, I mean it's wild. It's it's some people, it's armageddon. The sun is shining, it is cold outside, but there's no snow on the road. I mean, I guess there could be a little bit of ice, but it's not that big of a deal. If you never hear from me again, then you know that the cold weather and snow has killed me. And it was nice to know you. I'm sure that there is nothing in this world that can kill you, e y,

especially not the cold weather and snow. As you mentioned being from Canada yourself, UM, I would imagine this is what Parts on No One looks like, right. Yeah. I mean I talked about being from Nashville every day, but Parts of no is awesome, hilarious and old school wrestling. I love it, um and yeah, and I do have a theory about living forever. Too strong, too too rare to live too strange to die. That's that's my moniker. So you're just gonna join Frank go or in that

you are the infinity Stone. Yeah yeah, yeah, he's he's losing power and I'm gaining it. Yeah, that's what it looks like right now, right Greg Sussman, All he had to do was go to Nashville and he brings the cold weather in the snow with him. Huh is that how this works? You? Yeah? Well, the offer of dinner and drinks and and and uh a good time to night is just basically a lure to trap him here and uh take out the cold weather on on Greg

and his beautiful new wife. Honestly, I was half hoping that he would have been there already and he would just like come running into the room and start the show. But it's all right, you know, there's there are other things that I can waste wishes on for the rest of my lifetime. You y, that doesn't have to be one of them. But no, I mean it would have been It would have been cool. I didn't think about it.

But I mean they're they're they're having fun their downtown, uh, sight seeing and checking out Nashville and gonna gonna head out to Franklin, Tennessee, my hometown, just this basically suburb of Nashville, and uh, we'll get a little sideways to night see what happens. Yeah, I'm sure frank Stanfeld and the fantasy BFFs is the furthest thing on the mind of Greg Sussman and his new wife. So I'm not gonna bother him with any of that. But I do

want to recap some of last night's game. E y, this was an awesome game for people that have been complaining about Monday night football and prime time and why don't we ever get good games? I mean, this was an awesome game. A lot of back and forth. We saw a defense on both sides. Here the Seattle Seahawks end up pulling this one out twenty four. You can argue, you know, some questionable play calling. I think on both sides.

You know, people are talking about Kyle Shanahan should have been more aggressive, you know, going back to his days when he was the o C of the Atlanta Falcons, right, seemed like that's something that's always really hampered him. But on the other side, I mean, Seattle Seahawks were driving in overtime and Russell Wilson throws an interception that wasn't necessary either, So I think you can bash both sides here.

But ultimately a really, really fun game. And I know that the loser, Chris Ventra, is going to die on the hill of Jimmy Garoppolo no matter what. And I will say this his wide receivers. Last night, we're bad. They presented the splits that while Emmanuel Sanders was in the game, um Garoppolo looked a lot better. Obviously, the completion percentage was up, he didn't have any turnovers once

he went out. I know, an interception off the hands of Kendrick Boorne, but I will say this, on that final drive in regulation, Jimmy Garoppolo threw about three passes into the chest of Seattle Seahawks defenders that should have been intercepted. And I tweeted this out last night drink it looked like and as a Jet fan, I know I know what this looks like. It looks to me like Jimmy Garoppolo was seeing some ghosts last night. You yeah, I think that's gonna forever live on in the lexicon

of fantasy football. The ghost maybe Sam Donald's greatest contribution to football so far and which is wrong. But I mean the game was great. I mean you can question the play calling, uh not being super aggressive. Both defenses looked up to the task except for catching the ball. That throw two Born. I mean he had both of his hands on it. As an NFL wide receiver, you have to catch that ball. Like, I'm not catching that ball. I can't even jump that high. I can barely hold

onto a football with one hand. Um, but even he got both hands on it, He's got to come down with that. So uh, I mean, I don't know. I don't have a dog in that fight. Was kind of hoping that San Francisco was gonna win. I like them. I love the defense, UH, have always liked Shanahan, loved

the defensive coach on the San Francisco. Uh. San Francisco side, and I do Um, I'm not gonna you know, I'm not gonna bet the farm on Jimmy Garoppolo, but I do like him as a quarterback, especially in that system. But he's gonna get some help from his wide receivers. Absolutely, they were just brutal. It wasn't just Kendrick Born. Mark He's good when dropped a few passes Deebo Samuel as great of a night that he had, he dropped the pivotal pass as well. So the wide receiver's gotta get better.

I understand no George Kittle last night. Emmanuel Sanders left early in that game, so you kind of give Jimmy Garoppolo the benefit of the doubt. But there were times last night where he did look shaky. Again that final driving regulation, he should have thrown three interceptions on that drive alone. The backfield situation for he for the forty nine si e y just super frustrating. Once again. Tevin Coleman forty one snaps where heee mostered eighteen snaps. Matt

Brida twenty four snaps. Matt Brita reaggravated his ankle injury. Surprise, surprise. You know what that means. He'll be back in week eleven and he'll probably rush for two hundred yards because that's what it seems like happens every single time Matt Breeda gets hurt, is he bounces back the next week

and he's even better. I will say this when it comes to seven Coleman, since that four touchdown game against the Carolina Panthers, he has just a hundred and five total yards in two games and zero touchdowns, So this is a very fluid situation. I will say if Matt Brita cannot play in Week eleven against the Arizona Cardinals, then Tevin Coleman is going to be a very very popular play and and Raheem Mostard is going to be a valuable pick up as well. I gotta pay attention

to Matt Brita. I saw it just before the show started. He could be in line to miss some time. When we come back, we'll finish wrapping up this game, we'll talk about the Waiver Wire the Fantasy BFFs on the sports Crade TV network.

Located both in the heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel Sports book at the meadow Lands Sports Crede, He's live eighteen hours a day here to serve you the fanatic. This is sports Gride. Get on the Grid. Welcome back to the Fantasy Best Friends Forever live on the Sports Grade TV network ZOMO Channel seven nineteen, the Stern Network, as well recapping last night's game between the Seahawks and the

forty Niners. The Seahawks pull it off seven to twenty four in overtime. I just wanted to hit on a few more topics here, e y, and I think it leads right into the waiver wire discussion as well. Emmanuel Sanders dealing with this rib injury and without him on the field, we saw Deebo Samuel go eight for one twelve that those are both career high so far on career rookie obviously eleven targets of the target share of his one and twelve receiving yards seventy one yards after contact.

And you've heard people talk about this that Deebo Samuel is a running back. He has a power back once he has the ball on his hands, and he saw that last night. And I think Kyle Shanahan is one of these smarter offensive coordinators. He knows how to get the most out of his weapons. And I think throwing those short screen passes to Debo and just letting him do work after the catch make a lot of sense.

E y, how interested are you going to be in Deebo Samuel this week when setting up your waiver wire claims considering that right now it looks like Emmanuel Sanders could potentially miss some time with his ribb injury. Yeah, if he's not owned, I feel like you do have to go after him uh some more by weeks this week. Uh. And Deebo Samuel is built, I mean and made a skill set, wise, body type everything for this style of

of offense. I mean obviously, um, you just said that the stat of of the yards after the catch is huge in this guy's game. Uh. And Sanders not being there, I feel like Deebo Sable becomes the one. And I do want to pour a little bit out for for Pettis, you know, I mean, what what on earth happened? This is? This is a guy that was supposed to be the number one in San Francisco. Uh, I believe was drafted that way. Uh in the in the off season, I've got him on a ton of best balls and he's

been useless, completely useless. I think that they threw at him once last night and he didn't catch it. It was behind him. But I mean what happened? What happened to Pettis? You know, e y, I wish I had the answer, because I too was a Dante Pettis supporter. Anyone who watches or listens to this show knows that I was talking of Dante Pettis in the off season, in the draft season, and this was a guy that I think a lot of people, you know, road to

Fantasy Championships last year. You know, he really came on strong in that final month of the season. I don't know what happened. I know that throughout training camp there was something going on between him and Kyle Shanahan. Either he wasn't picking up on the offense or he wasn't giving it his full effort, because you know, he was playing deep into these preseason games. And ultimately it just

hasn't worked out. Because even in a game when Emmanuel Sanders leaves with an injury and you have Kendrick Borne dropping passes here, you have Marquees Goodwin dropping passes on the other side of the field, you would think that that's a perfect opportunity to get Dante Pettis involved. It's just a weird situation because I think what we saw last year in the final month was not a fluke. I think that this guy can actually play in the NFL,

and I think it's an interesting juxtaposition here. He I to see that both Dante Pettison Christian Kirk were drafted in a similar range throughout throughout the draft season, in that six seventh eighth round range in drafts. And look at what Christian Kirk just did over a hundred yards in three touchdowns and Dante pettis out here dropping passes,

not even playing. So uh, I think it's it's a fair question, and I'm not sure that anyone has the answer, but there's definitely something going on behind the scenes between Dante Pettis. Maybe it's involving Garoppolo, Kyle Sanahan, whatever it might be. On the other side of the football, Chris Carson another twenty five carry game last night. Two d carries now on the season, that is second in the NFL. Again, you drafted Chris Carson in the third fourth round of

your fantasy drafts. You've just been reaping the rewards all season long. As much as we've wanted Rashad Penny to be a thing, and usually we criticize Pete Carroll for for you know, just playing the best players. You know, last year, a lot of people drafted Rashad Penny because he was their first round pick, and he said, no, no, no, I'm gonna play the best players. And that's exactly what

Pete Carroll has done. And and kudos you stick to your guns, Pete Carroll, because Chris Carson has been phenomenal both of the Seahawks and for fantasy football purposes. This brings us to the the injury to Tyler Lockett here e y and he left this game late dealing with a leg injury. Apparently spent the night in the hospital overnight. I saw a report just because just before we came on the air here saying that you know, lock it

should be good to go. They have a bye coming up here in week eleven, so potentially could get them back in week twelve. But regardless, Jacob Hollister now a huge part of this offense. DK metcalf e y nine plus targets in three of his last four games. We've really got to pay close attention to this Locket injury because if he misses any time, that means the value

of DK metcalf and Jacob Hollister will be skyrocketed. I mean dat Metcalf is definitely probably already owned in your league, so it's not like you can go get him on the waiver wire. Um, could be somebody could potentially you trade for. I think everyone considers Locke and as do I the number one receiver on that team. But look, I mean he went to the hospital. I mean it's it's not some something. I mean that surprised me. I

just saw it just before the show as well. He spent I believe he spent the night in the hospital. I mean he was on the bench like talking and sitting there. It didn't seem ultra serious. Um, but obviously there's something going on. There's some kind of massive bruise and swelling. I think they were worried about clotting and stuff like that. So they're they're they're obviously precautionary. There's nothing more important than health for for any of these players.

But uh, it is scarier as as a Tyler Lockett owner. Uh and also the guy that owns Metcalf in a bunch of places. So it's a it's a pick your poison kind of thing. Uh. They have the bye this week, so You're not gonna have to worry about either guy. Um. And I think Lockett will probably play after the bye week. Um, but the fact that he was in the hospital is scared. You have to keep your eye on it. E y as somebody who loved Will Disley. I don't know anyone

who loved will Disleave more than you. Is Jacob Hollister now on that same level as well. Dis Lee ten targets yesterday, eight for sixty two and one yes, three targets over his three touchdowns over his last two games, fifties seven or more snaps in back to back games, thirty two or more routes ran in back to back games. Has Jacob Hollister now replaced Will Dislee in this offense? Yeah,

I mean he's proved he can get it done. And and also Carol and Russell Wilson have have shown that they are including the tight end in the game plan. Throwing to the tight end is obviously a big part of the offense. We haven't seen that. What's interesting about Hollister he was uh an offseason Darling a couple of years ago when he was playing in New England. Ever was like, oh, this is gonna be the next Gronk.

I mean, he's definitely not Gronkowski. He's not built like him, he doesn't run like him, he doesn't block like him. He's none of those things. And the crazy thing about it is Luke Wilson is still the starting tight end is going to be on the field. Uh. He was hurt, I believe, and didn't play um. But I mean it's obviously Hollister is getting it done. And the tight end landscape is a mess. I mean we've been saying this

for three years. I mean, if you get a guy that that is likely to catch a touchdown in a game, then you need to start him every week. And Halster is definitely a start every single week going forward. Jacob Hollister only owned in seven percent of Yahoo leagues right now. I understand that he's going exactly right like based on the game he had last week. He had two touchdowns. He has six plus targets in three of his last four games. Since will dis Lee has landed on I R.

You gotta go out there and add this guy. Even with a by coming up for the Seahawks, his involvement in this offense is massive, and if you can get a tight end who is being involved this much with Russell Wilson as his quarterback. I think you've you definitely got to jump on that, and you gotta like that. The last person I want to talk about in his game e y Josh Gordon making his debut. He only

played twenty five snaps yesterday, only ran eighteen routes. But I think that was to be expected, right, he's coming off an injury, He's with a new team. I thought it was interesting that he only had two targets and two receptions, but those receptions were very pivotal receptions where they needed to keep a drive alive and they went to Josh Gordon. Do you have any interest in Josh Gordon if he's still out there in your league? You know, based on this injury with Tyler Lockett, we know that

Josh Gordon can still kind of play. I mean he's a big body, and Russell Wilson is playing at an m v P level. How much interest do you have here? I mean, I think there's some. I think it depends on on your team and your construction, uh your league, and and and how big your roster is. And also if you're a lockout owner, you mean if you're a lock out owner. You mean, you could do worse than having Gordon as kind of like a backup to replace

him if he goes down. Seattle is shown that they trust him, Like you said, Yes, it was two catches, but those are pivot, pivotal moments in the game where they're saying, look, we trust you as a player. We know you're coming back from injury, you're learning the playbook, you're learning timing with Russell Wilson. You're just starting to practice now. But I mean, I feel like Josh Gordon could run the slant on pretty much any cornerback in the league and come up with the ball. He's he's

a very explosive athlete and and a big body. He just gets in front of the cornerback. Russell Wilson is obviously a super accurate in my opinion, probably the m v P this year. Uh, he's getting it down big time. And Josh Gordon paired with Russell Wilson is an excellent combination. Yeah, it would be really fun to watch, you know, if there weren't as many mouths to feed. I don't know that I have a lot of faith in Josh Gordon from a fantasy perspective, because again we're talking about Hollister,

We're talking about DK Metcalf as well. And I just got this from Inside Injuries. Tyler Lockett is expected to be okay despite staying in the hospital overnight due to extreme swelling in his leg. That means no surgery. Should be good to go in week twelve after the five when we come back, we will finally hit on some running backs, wide receivers and some streams as well. It's a fantasy BFS right here on the sports Crede TV network.

Get on the grid you. I want to start off with some running backs here in our waiver Wire discussion, and I had these two names just to throw out their first and foremost. It feels like

we've been talking about them forever. Just check to see that they're available. Kareem Hunt seventy two owned on Yahoo. But how about this one, uy, Darius Guys is only thirty seven percent own on Yahoo. I I put him in the check to see if he's available because I assumed that his ownership percentage would be higher than that.

You know, is there something that we're missing? I mean, I understand that Adrian Peterson is still there, but under Bill Callaghan, their interim head coach, they want to run the football and the fact that Dwayne Haskins is starting at quarterback for the rest of the season tells me that they are starting to turn towards that youth movement. They have to see what they have in both Haskins

and Darius Guys on the field together. So, you know, don't you agree that Darius guys ownership percentage should be higher than or do you just want to stay away from this offense because it's not going to be a very good one. When he was healthy, Adrian Peter Peterson was a healthy scratch and wasn't playing. I don't know if it goes back to that. Adrian Peterson has proven to be at Lisa. Uh, sub competent. I don't know.

They're definitely looking to the future. Of the announcement of them going to Haskins as the starting quarterback is proof of that. They're trying to see, Uh, you know, get those kids some experience and and get him some some real time, real be game reps. But to me, it would surprise me if guys isn't the starting running back this coming week. Uh. He looked awesome when he carried the ball. I think we talked about guys in the

off season and I had said that. I just watched this interview with him and he said he had never missed a football game ever in his life, from high school all the way through college until he got hurt and missed the whole season last season. Um, then he played one game and got hurt again. So uh, to me, in the NFL, you're proving that you're injury proned and and nothing else. You've barely played. Uh. So we'll see what happens. But I mean, guys should definitely be owned.

He could be the starting running back for a team that wants to run the ball a lot. I mean, you could do way worse. Darius Guys is a beast if he can stay healthy. There has been a legitimate series of unfortunate events here for Darius Guys since he has joined the NFL, and over the past four weeks before the bye, Adrian Peterson was averaging eighteen point eight carries for a game and rushing yards for a game. So again, they want to run the football. He was

doing so effectively. I don't know that he goes completely away, you know, like a healthy scratch once again like he was in Week one. But I think that they start to turn this over to Darius Guys and the upcoming schedule for Washington. They got the Jets this week, the Lions, the Panthers, and the Packers. The Jets have been better against running backs, as we saw with sake Kwon Barkley's one rushing yard this past week, but the Lions, Panthers, and Packers are teams that can be run on. So

definitely interested in Darius Guys after that he hy. I think Brian Hill is probably the most sought after waiver wire target this week that's you know, widely available in leagues. Played fifty one percent in the snaps in Week ten with Davonta Freeman, injuring his foot, carried the ball twenty times against a tough defense sixty one rushing yards. He had two targets as well. And he's a bigger guy

six ft one pounds. Actually played at Wyoming with Josh Allen, and he proved there that he can handle a big workload. His junior season at Wyoming three forty nine carry, twenty two rushing touchdowns. I think if you are desperate for a running back, you've got four teams on a boy, you lose a Chris Carson, you lose those packards running backs as well, or you just lost Devonte Freeman. Going up against the Panthers this week, they all were five yards per carry. I think Brian Hill is probably the

top way wire at this week. What say U, E Way? Yeah, I would say he probably is. And and look he looked awesome in the in the off season. Uh, there was definitely rumors of them even cutting Edo Smith. Um so with with him down, Uh, Freeman gone, we don't know, really, we don't know much yet about how long. And I mean, and you gotta put your claims in today. Um so, yeah, I would go after Brian Hill. I'm doing it in a bunch of leagues. UM probably won't get them, but

in some of them you never know. You never know what people feel and what they're desperate for this time of year, or if they're even paying attention. So so Brian Hill I think could be a really good running back at if you get them this week, another running back that you can look at. Not that the Detroit Lions have been able to run the football, but Ty Johnson is in concussion protocol and g D mckissic has

been seeing a lot of the passing work. I think that the Lions have really gone back to where they were a couple of years ago. They've been relying more on Matt Stafford, although now he is dealing with the back injury. But they're using that short passing game to the running backs as an extension of running the football because they haven't been able to do so effectively. So they're throwing these short passes. And j D mckissic at least three receptions in each of his past three games.

He just had a season high seven targets this past week. Also played a season high seventy percent of the snaps, So Ti Johnson's in concussion protocol. There's a chance that this team brings in a j Agi or a Doug Martin or something like that. But I think based on the way that j D McKissick is seeing targets right now, e y, especially if you're playing a PPR league, he's likely going to going to be in the mix as a low end flex because they can't run the football,

but they are throwing the football to j D. McKissick. Yeah. Mckensick is a guy that that I own in a few places and I and I said this, everyone went and spend all their money on Ty Johnson. That was me, Yeah, And I tried to tell people not to do that. Um, look at I mean, the reality is is carry On Johnson is double that running back and double the athlete that Ty Johnson is. And he wasn't really uh lighting the lighting the roof on fire with with his carries

and his workload. So I didn't think that Ty Johnson could even be half of what he was uh, And I was right. And the reality is his mckissic has looked like, in my opinion, anytime I saw mckissic carry the ball or catch the ball, he's looked like the better athlete and for sure the better running back. This is a guy that's never really been given a chance and very well this week, could be given a chance

to to carry the bigger workload and should so. Mckissic is a guy that you could add too, and could be a guy that you ride from for decent production from now until the playoffs. Yeah, make sure you check out J. D. Mckissic. And we should all just start listening to e Y. It's just that simple, right. Ei has been been crushing it so far this year with

the calls on and during the fantasy football season. And you know, I stubborn Lee disagreed with you, e Y, and I went and picked up Ty Johnson for a ton of money and all that has got me is some empty pockets. I don't really have much fab left and ultimately, uh Ti Johnson is basically a drop at this point as he is in the concussion protocol. I heard Jim Day the Fantasy Task talking about Calen Blage on the Fantasy Football Frenzy and he said, this guy stinks.

The only time you should bring up his name when is when someone asks you who is the worst running back in the NFL. Then you can respond, Calen Blage, but but maybe I'm wrong for for including this butt here e y, but two percent of the snaps twenty four touches. Are we really going to leave that on the waiver wire? If you want to say Kleen Balage sucks, that's perfectly fine. If you want to leave him on

the waiver wire. I know you mistakenly spent a ton of money on him last week in the pit league, but it just seems like, when when a running back is playing this much and seeing this many touches, you probably shouldn't leave that on the waiver wire. Agree or disagree? Yeah, I feel like this comes down to roster construction as well. I can say that I'm mistakenly 're calling that the Saudi Arabia mishap. That's That's what I'm coining it. And uh,

I mean, look at that. Sometimes you make a mistake. I've got to I mean, I've got over nine teams. Waiver wires take me hours, um and it. I mean at this point of the season, you're just like, oh God again with the waiver wires. Uh So, yeah, I mean I accident I picked him up, and I can say that I've already dropped him. I don't believe in

this guy at all as a player. It doesn't look like he knows how to play football or the running back position, having that many touches and that many carries, being that size and having that athletic profile, and that's the only amount of yards that he can get. Not interested. E Y is not interested, and I don't blame him one bit. But if you're desperate and you, I don't know, really like bad running backs, Calumballaz does face the Bills

this week. Of just allowed a d total yards to the likes of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt last week, including nine receptions, so the workload is probably is likely still there. But if you're not a believer, then maybe you look at a Patrick Laird or a Miles Gaskin. Those are the two running backs that are currently backing up Klin Milage. I would assume that there's only so much that the Miami Dolphins can see before they start

to go in a different direction. I also just wanted to bring up Wayne Gallman real quick here, e Y still waiting to see if you know what the situation is with say Kwon Barkley. I know he was gonna go for an m R R. He was banged up in that game against the Jets, only rushed for one yard. We talked about that a lot yesterday and he wouldn't talk to the media after the game as well. He just wanted to get out, so see what's going on there. But if you are a say Kwon Barkley owner, make

sure you pick up Wayne Goldman. And this is a good time to remind people, e y that if you don't have the handcuffs for your running backs, what are you doing? I mean, what are you waiting for? It's we're heading into week eleven right now, So you know, if you were a Devonte Freeman owner, you should have picked up Brian Hill last week once we saw Edo some go on, I R. If you are Dalvin Cook owner, make sure you own Alexander Madison for Leonard four Nette.

The same thing goes with Rachel Armstead, the Dallas Cowboys, Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard. E Y, if you don't own your handcuffs at this point in the season, what are you doing? Yeah? Yeah, for sure. I mean this has been a year for me where um, especially like the running backs that I got early, like the sae quon to Elliott. I've kind of carried Pollard and Goldman all year. Um Gallman, you know, had the one opportunity where he looked pretty decent um when he came in. I mean,

look at he's not Azekiel Elliott. But good running backs are not available on the waiver wire this time of year. Like we're sitting here talking about spending a bunch of money on Ty Johnson and Brian Hill, guys that are the third options on the team. So yeah, I mean, if you're not now, then you definitely should be going after or even trying to trade for the handcuffs to your running backs. All right, when we come back, we'll talk about some wide receivers on the waiver wire, as

well as some quarterback, tight and defense streams. Heading into Week eleven of the fantasy football season, it's Frank Stanford alongside e Y the fantasy pfs right here on the sports Gride TV Network.

Sports Crade is live eighteen hours a day here to serve you the fanatic. This is sports Gride. Get on the Grid. Welcome back to the Fantasy Best Friends Forever, live on the Sports Grade TV Network. I am Frank Stanford, joined by my good buddy e Why Eric Young going through the waiver wire, Gonna hit up some wide receivers and in some quarterback,

tight end and defensive streams as well. E Y, Let's jump right back into it. The players that I wanted to remind people just to check to see if they're available. Jamison Crowder only sixty nine percent owned nice on Yahoo and I don't understand why. I mean, he's been a huge part of the offense over the past couple of weeks. He's clearly Sam Donald's go to guy, and he has the revenge game this upcoming week in Week eleven, going

up against Washington. Will Fuller just he might have been dropped because of the injury, might have been dropped because of the bye week, and we saw what his role was earlier on in the season, he's going to be inconsistent, but again, exposure to that passing attack of the Houston Texans. It's very clear that him and Deshaun Watson have a good report together as well. So if Fuller was dropped, go out there and check to make sure that he

is not on your waiver wire. Josh Gordon spoke about him a little bit earlier and Deanie Westbrook e y, I think Dede Westbrook is an interesting one. He's only on Yahoo, so might be you know, a little bit more widely available then at least I would have thought, do you buy into that narrative with Nick Foles coming back to play the quarterback position, that we see a huge uptick indeed Westbrook's value because if you remember in draft season, I saw d. D. Westbrook in some high

stakes drafts go as high as the fifth round. That's how much people were buying into him. Because Nick Foles does like to target slot receivers. Are you buying in as well? Yeah? For me, Like, look at the connection of quarterback to wide receiver is a real thing. We've talked about it a bunch of during the off season. I've talked about a bunch of this year Nick Foles loves d D. Westbrook. He's proven that when he played that that was his guy, and he's going to have

a ton of receptions. Um. I know that DJ Shark has been the more um you know, the number one receiver there, Uh, while the Mustache was at the controls. But Nick Foles coming back, I believe that goes back to D. D. Westbrook. I don't think in any way DJ Shark is not ownable, but I do feel like he will not have the amount of volume the D. D. Westbrook has. Uh So for me, I mean D. D. Westbrook is a guy you gotta go after if he's

out there in your waiver wire. Yeah, we saw that in the one preseason game that Nick Foles and d. D. Westbrook played together. I think it was they only played one or two drives together, and D. D. Westbrook had like six or seven targets in those two drives alone. So it seems like he is going to be a target monster moving forward with Nick Foles as the quarterback.

And make sure you check out the sports Grid YouTube because uh coming out soon is gonna be the FanDuel of hurry Up that I did today with Jim Sonnis of number fire, and he gives out three players to buy right now in fantasy football and three players to sell. One of his buy candidates is actually DJ Chark. He doesn't think that DJ Tark's production is going to change all that much with with Nick Foles as the quarterback, so make sure you keep a lookout for that here

on the sports Grid YouTube page. We spoke about Deebo Samuel earlier in the show. E y. I think he is one of, if not the top waiver wire add this week. But another one who is in that same discussion is going to be Darius Slayton. And normally it's a tough situation to add a wide receiver or any

player that's heading into a bye week. But I think based on the way that he played this past week and the opportunity that he saw four teen targets, ten receptions yards, two touchdowns, he finished as the wide receiver to overall in Week ten. And Evan Ingram is still banged up, We'll see if he can return after the by Sterling Shepherd, I think might get shut down. This

concussion issue is very serious for him. I think deep Darius Slayton alongside Deebo Samuel, those are probably the one A and one B for me in terms of the waiver wire wide receivers this week, E y, which one do you prefer between Deebo Samuel and Darius Layton. I think I still lean with Deebo Samuel. Um a better offense on a better team. Um, and I don't think.

I mean, I don't know anything about it, but I mean, Shepherd has been close to playing a couple of times, so I do believe that he's going to come back at some point this year, and it could even be this week. Uh yeah, but I would go after Samuel first. But Slayton has looked good. I mean he's a guy who just kind of came out of nowhere and looks I have a real connection um uh with uh oh my god, a kid. Thinking of the quarterback's names, Danny Dimes.

That's it, Danny Dimes. Um so yeah, that's that would be the order I do it. But but Slayton has really shown up in a big way. Yeah, I'm with you. Look if Deeedy Westbrook's out there, he's number one for me. Jamison Crowder as well. But after those guys, you know, Deebo Samuels out there, Darius Slayton is out there. I think I would have a Deebo Samuel as the one A as well, going up against the Arizona Cardinals this week. That's a really good matchup for Deebo Samuel. Again, pay

attention to the news on Emmanuel Sanders. I saw a few people talking about Randall Cobb in the chat here, and I think he's worth talking about, you know, because he made the most of his opportunity in Week ten. He dominated the Vikings secondary. Again, you can use wide receivers against the Vikings second area. They are not the defense that they have been in years past, at least against you know, wide receivers. They have not been very

good this season. Randall cop finished with six catches for a hundred and six yards and a touchdown. He's played at least seventy of the snaps in each of the past two weeks, and it seems like he's really starting to, you know, push into that wide receiver two roll with Michael Gallup where he's starting to eat into that that snapshare. He's starting to eat into that target share as well.

You know, he he does Randall Copp plays in the slot, which you know has been a very valuable piece for fantasy football wide receivers over the past couple of years. You know, slot receivers have just been awesome over the past couple of seasons. So I have some interest in Randall Cob here, and the Detroit Lions are a secondary that you actually can throw against, especially in the slot because we know Darius Slay plays on the outside. Why how much interest do you have in Randall Cobb this

upcoming week? I think there's some you know. I mean, if you have guys, you know, wide receivers on the by and you need to start somebody, that's you could do way worse than Randall Cob showed up a little bit. I still think Mount gallup Is is a better option there. I still think that he will end the season with more fantasy output than Cobb. But I mean, crazier things have happened. Cobb has has been a number one receiver before.

I'm not saying he's going to be that, but we know we can get it done lining up in this slot, especially this week. Again to the Detroit Lions. If they get Matt Stafford back, then I think it's probably going to be a pretty high scoring game and they're gonna need to throw the ball and Cobb could be the beneficiary there, especially on a PPR YEP eight plus targets in back to back games for Randall Cobb as well.

The last two names that I wanted to mention here, e y, these are more of desperation plays by week fillers. Deeper League adds to Marius Thomas at Washington and James Washington at the Cleveland Browns playing on Thursday Night. Since Donald returned back in Week six, various Thomas has tied for second on the team with eighteen percent of the

target share. During that span, he actually has seven more receptions and forty eight more receiving yards then Robbie Anderson for whatever reason, likely because the offensive line hasn't been good. I mean, let's be honest, the Jets offensive line is a bad one, and they don't give Donald enough time for those routes to develop down the field. For Robbie Anderson, I think that's why we're seeing more work to Jamison Crowder and more work to Marius Thomas in these short

and intermediate routes as well. Going up against the Washington Redskins in Week eleven, I'm not really worried about that secondary, so I think to Marius Thomas is interesting. Uh. And then James Washington had the best game of his young career six catches for ninety yards and a touchdown in Week ten, all while playing only fifty percent of the snaps. That's the biggest takeaway for me. I wish that James Washington was playing more snaps. Fifty snapshare is just it's

not enough for me. But I do like the fact that he made the most of his opportunity here. E y. We've been saying this for a while. We thought that there was going to be a rapport between Mason Rulph and Washington because they played together at Oklahoma State. It hasn't really happened until just now. If you had to choose between one of these guys in a deeper league, E Y to Marius Thomas at Washington or James Washington at the Cleveland Browns, who are you looking at? Man?

I think with the long play, I'd probably go Washington, But for this week, maybe it's Thomas. Uh. But I think if I had to choose, I would go with Washington. I feel like, Uh, this is the guy at Blitnikoff winner A guy that was you know, highly drafted. The Pittsburgh Steelers have been known to draft and pick good receivers, and uh, the connection Routolph to to Washington should be

a real thing um going forward. I think we we saw it kind of show up this last week a little bit when he played earlier, and definitely in the preseason as well. So Washington to me has a much higher ceiling and probably around the same floor as to Marius Thomas. Let's move over to those streams real quick, e y. And at the quarterback position, again, we have four teams on a bi were without Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Tannehill, who all of a sudden has been awesome for fantasy,

and we are also without Russell Wilson. So we're gonna need a quarterback and I'm looking at Kyle Allen as likely the top scream this week going up against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons defense played really well against Drew Brees in Week ten, but they have still allowed, you know, some big games. They allowed multiple touchdown passes in every game from weeks three through eight. So I'm looking at Kyle Allen to bounce back have a good game this week,

and I think He's probably the top streaming quarterback. If he's already gone, then Sam Donald probably the next one up going up against this Washington secondary, And I think a sneaky ad right now if you want to look towards the future again, Nick Foles coming back the starting quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. His playoff schedule, his Fantasy Playoffs schedule from weeks fourteen through sixteen, the Chargers, the Raiders, and the Falcons. That is a really good schedule. E

y which streamed? Do you like most here between Alan Donald and Nick Foles? And do you agree with stashing Nick Foles for that playoff schedule? To me, Alan seems like the safest bet. He's looked pretty good, uh, distributing the ball, getting it out there. Um. And the fact that Christian McCaffrey is the running back there, then you have to respect him in the passing game and definitely in the running game as well. So Kyle Kyle Allen

is probably the safest uh Donald look at. I mean, I know the scene the ghost and he hasn't been good all year, but I still believe Sam Donald has the tools, uh, And at this point, I believe the biggest thing is just confidence coming off being having Mono um getting up to speed. UM. Then you know a couple of really bad games playing against the best defense in football right now, the Patriots um getting absolute massacred uh and and having his confidence take a real hit.

This week he showed up looked much better. Uh. And I believe going forward or here he will improve every week. So that could be a sneaky one. And like you said with Foals, just because of his playoffs schedule alone, and the reality is that Jacksonville is it looks pretty competitive and somehow sneakily all of a sudden have this really good wide receiving corps. So you could do way worse than Nick Foles. Yeah, for sure. I mean their

past catchers are are really interesting. We're talking about D. D. Westbrook and and DJ Tarkt is someone that you can still buy. Chris Conney has made some places here, Leonard Fournette being used more in the passing game. So yeah, all of a sudden, the Jaguars have a pretty good core of pass catchers there for Nick Foles to throw the ball to. Let's move on over to the tight

end position. Obviously, Jacob Hollister is someone that you would want to add, but you can't use them this week because the Seahawks are on a buy and e y. To me, there are four very obvious tight ends that you can look to pick up right now. Kyle Rudolph going up against the Broncos, has scored four touchdowns in

his last four games. O J. Howard going up against the New Orleans Saints again trying to figure out if last week was real for O. J. Howard or if it was just because they were going up against the Cardinals, who are terrible against tight ends. Jack Doyle, who has been very consistent at least sixty yards are a touchdown in three straight games. He's going up against the Jaguars, and then Jack Cook going up against the Tampa Bay Bucks.

I'll tell you what do you y if I had to choose this one of these guys to stream this week, I think I'm looking at Jared Cook. You just had ten targets last week and the Bucks have allowed the second most Fantasy points to opposing tight end, so he's probably the guy that I'm looking at if you just need a tight end for Week eleven? What do you think? I mean? Not bad for me? I'm gonna go with Rudolph. Rudolph has the momentum. Uh. There seems to be a

real connection between him and Kirk Cousin. He trusts him in the red zone and for me, the tight end position, like I said, it's an absolute poop storm. Um. So I'm going with the guy that I think and to catch a touchdown, and that's Kyle Rudolph. Kyle Rudolph is the guy for e Y. But if you want to shoot for some upside again if O J. If, if last week was real for O J. Howard, being the third option in the Tampa Bay Bucks passing attack has real value for fantasy football, So I understand if you

want to take the shot on him. The Saints have been tougher against tight ends this year. But the upside again, Howard was being drafted in the top four are five rounds of drafts, you know, during the summer, and that's because we know what kind of upside that O J. Howard possesses when it comes to defensive streams. You know, I'm looking at the Jaguars going up against the Indianapolis Colts, the Jets at Washington. That's right, I said it. The

new York Jets. They look pretty good against the Giants and the Oakland Raiders going up against Ryan Finley and the Cincinnati Bengals. E y, thank you so much for joining me again. Make sure you'd say hello to Greg Sussman and his beautiful new wife Judy for e Y. I am Frank Stafell. Thank you so much for watching. This was the Fantasy BFS. Up.

Located both in the heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel Sports book at the metal Lands Sports Crade, He's live eighteen hours a day. You just serve you the fanatic. This

is Sports Grade. Get on the Grade. What did happen? What did Here's what you missed on the BFFs. Job is going to continue to pound the ball. Catching the ball is not like he's not you know, he can catch the ball, but it's not the biggest shiny object in his in his skill set. So you know this is a perfect set up, a perfect one in two running backs. Both of them are going to be productive. I believe um Cleveland Browns one. So you mean it's

a good thing. Yeah, they're winners in general themselves, getting to three and six on the season. Taking down the Buffalo Bills yesterday, I think I thought Jervis Landry was a big winner as well as nine catches for ninety seven yards and a touchdown on ten targets against this stout Bills secondary. There's now three games in a row where Jarvis Landry has had double digit targets e Y. So I think Jarvis Landry is trending up, you know, high end wide receiver three, maybe even low and wide

receiver two. It's crazy to say, but Landry and Odell Beckham's value might be the same at this point. I don't think that that's a stretchy Odell Beckham yterday had twelve targets only brought in five of those for fifty seven yards. I think Odell Beckham and and Jarvis Landry have similar value right now? What do you think? What I know for sure is Odell Beckham is. That is

maybe the biggest disappointment of the year. Um. Everyone was for certain that Baker Mayfield was going to be the best quarterback that he's ever played with, and that still maybe true. But the Cleveland Browns can't get out of their own way, whether it's play calling, coaching, uh scheme, whatever it is. I'm not smart enough to know, but this is not a good offensive football team where everyone thought that they would be pretty high powered, especially bringing

Odell Beckham over. If to me, if you would ask me, I would swap them. Jarvis Landry should have should have been picked before out Odell Beckham. Um, that was never going to happen. No one thinks that Landry is overall a better football player, but maybe in how the offense haveter has to run, they're more effective. When Baker Mayfield goes back three steps and let the ball out of it, get it out of his hands. When he holds onto it, they're in trouble in Odell Beckham. Look, he can get

short passes two. I don't know why they don't try to get him in more slant screen stuff like that. This guy makes stuff happen when the balls in his hands. Uh, and they're too busy trying to force long balls to him, and that's just not what they're they're able to do on the season. E Y. Jarvis Landry currently wide receiver twenty three. Odell Beckham is wide receiver thirty four. So you're absolutely right right now, Jarvis Landry has more value on the season, and I'm not sure that that is

going to change. I believe you know. This was the toughest schedule coming up for Odell Beckham. I'd i'd have to pull up the rest of what they have going on moving forward in terms of the schedule. Let's see here Pittsburgh. Miami is good, but two of their next three games are against Pittsburgh. That's secondary has been ridiculous. Since they brought over make of Fitzpatrick the Cincinnati Bengals

in Week fourteen. Week fifteen against the Cardinals, Patrick Peterson hasn't looked like himself, So you gotta mix bad coming up for Odell Beckham the Dolphins is a good matchup. The Bengals is a good matchup the Cardinals. You should be able to take advantage. But those games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, I don't think you're really gonna feel good about Odell Beckham in those games, So Jarvis Landry for me a very clear winner.
