Week 12 Transactions, Keeper Trades, Matchups

Forever Show. Start listening to us or suffer the consequences. Do didnit? Yeah? Right now? That's welcome. Eight hap your host five rate from Sun God Rob say Francis Frank stand ball ladies and tell him in yours and with that we will be you inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFFs. He is Frank Stamfeld. I am Greg Saucepan Frank as Buddy Greggy. Happy hump day to you, buddy. Lots to talk about. We've got a bit of a fantasy football pot pourri. We're gonna jump all around today.

How you doing, buddy? How you sleep? That's what happens in weeks twelve when there's only so much to talk about. Um I slept great to be honest with you. We had a lot going on here last night, as you know, I was up late watching Sports Grade on Pluto Channel five seventeen ding and it was great. It looks great, it sounded great, You look great. So I slept great. Thanks man. How's everything else going? All right? Man? It's

going to right. Uh. The better question is for you everybody out there, is do you let's go all in? Then we are all in on bow Scarborough. Man, It's not like you know, I didn't just spend forty two dollars on Thy Johnson about a month ago, so you know what can go wrong outside of everything you know, Ty Johnson, J J. Mckissie didn't. It didn't matter, It didn't stop us. Everywhere I did on Bow, I got bo. I severely underestimate or overestimated the market for Bow Scarborough.

So what was the next closest bit in your home legund So I've been thirty dollars. As you know, he went for ten dollars. Sorry, the next closes there was ten dollars. Well, we got him in third for thirty one dollars. In the Pit League, which features a few of the analysts here on the network, spit in speeds Fantasy TASJ to Day, the closer. We spent thirty one dollars, We spent thirty three dollars. Three dollars. We want them right the next closest bid, so pretty similar enough, thirty

intent the same discrepences. You know what everyone else? Why was that? Is this going to be so sad when they miss out on? Because I've put in the mid I've been in both beds, the thirty and the thirty three. You were like, I don't know sixteen, Like I want to go to three that would have won them. We had a lot of money left, though, so why not spend We say, you can't take it with you right when it comes to fab you gotta spend your money. You gotta get players, especially us, right like we had

Frank Gore third running back on this team. We need a running back help. So what are you saving your money for. You gotta go out and get Bow. You gotta go out and get your colts running backs whoever it is. Are your rankings done yet? I need chance, got a chance. I need to know where Bow ranks here. I need to But you know, it's it's a very busy time for for both you and me. So going on, it's it's busy right at the National days. Well to night we'll tell you where both Scarborough ranks in France

running back rankings. Obviously, I have a lot of questions for me, like where is he compared to Jalen Samuel. I don't know. Hopefully Frank's gonna tell me. That's kind of my main question here. Hopefully I can tell you

as well tomorrow. So over the next hour or so, we're gonna talking about other players that were picked up off the waiver wire and how much they went for, because it's interesting, Like, I know it's week twelve, I know we have a buy and I know you said you can't take your fab with you or you take that number one waiver claim with you. All Right, it

doesn't feel like people were overly aggressive this week. Doesn't it feel like kind of save that Maybe they're saving it for the playoffs and NFC you can't, but like most hopefully you can you spend the same fabuty did. People were liver more cautious this week than I thought they would be. I think a lot of people have been burned by the Lions running backs and this cold situation is a tough one to figure out. We don't know who the main running back is going to be.

It's a running back by committee. If Jordan Wilkins plays in that game, we're looking at three different running backs involved against a not so great matchup against the Houston Texans. So I think that there's not really a standout Waiver Wire edition this week. I mean, we really like Bo

Scarborough is a standing nobody else like. But you know, if you're already set it running back, which I don't really know how you can be like based on the running back landscape, but there might be a few teams out there that have some have enough running backs that they don't need both Scarbro. So you know, maybe you save your money till week thirteen. You see, Look, all you need is one injury, Greg. That's all it takes, right, If someone gets hurt this week, then you know we

could have another running back ad we could have. You know, if a wide receiver steps up, whatever it might be. You know, there's not a an awesome wide receiver pick up this week. We talked about Hunter Rent for Taylor gel More. I think about it, the more James Washington, Yeah, so the more I think I disagree because I think James Washington probably is that guy. If both starting wide receivers are out for the Steelers, it's all James Washington.

That's what it comes down to. You don't gonna throw it at all. Mason Rudolph is very bad. Greg bad is like Dwayne Haskins level bad. Where's that bad? He's very bad. Some were interceptions last week. It takes the Bengal and you don't have James Conner, you don't have Juju, you don't have Deona day Johnson McDonald's week. They have to move down the field somehow, and I have to

imagine that's Jalen Samuels. Is why I brought that up against postcar Bro because I have them both and James Washington, like, maybe we underestimated this. James Washington think a little bit. I think that the opportunity is going to be there, the volume is gonna be there. But again, I just don't really trust the play of Mason Rudolph. I mean, I think James Washington will be a fine, you know,

low end wide receiver. Three. Again, I haven't done my rankings yet, but I imagine he'll be somewhere around there, you know, right around that forty wide receiver mark. But ultimately it's not like you know, we went through the game long for Juju yesterday. It's not like he's been good Deontay Johnson. He's popped off a few games here and there, but he hasn't been consistent. Now, maybe this is the week where obviously they can't throw to anybody else.

You know, we do get some you know, some opportunity here for for James Washington. It's a good matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, But ultimately it's how much do you want to trust these guys with Mason Rudolph thrown them the ball. Yeah, you're probably right, but especially with bye weeks to four big teams as you mentioned with the Cardinals, with the Vikings, with the Chargers and the Chiefs, like

you're losing quality players there and you get desperate. It's even on teams that are I have, that are pretty good that I'm getting desperate here this week. You know, I look at the Giants were startling Shepherd's back. We'll talk about him um in a few moments. You look at the Falcons, who are gonna be without Austin Hooper. This week already an now, so we's talk about that coming up in a few moments. You've gotta you have a lot that you have to fill in, even if

your team is pretty good. And I'm just wondering if James Washington, if Bo Scarborough and if these cults running backs just talk about a moment as well fit that mold. Yeah, I mean, thank god this is the final week of bye weeks, Graig, because you know it's week twelve here. But the teams that are on by, It's not that we have a crazy amount of teams, but the teams that are on by have really good players on them, right, So we're missing out on Patrick Mahomes, Kelsey Tyreek Hill,

Dalvin Cook, all the Chargers players, they're running backs. I mean, there's a lot of very fantasy viable players that are on by this week. So yeah, it is making life very difficult for a lot of owners. Let's talk more about some of these injuries. Will get to this whole Potboury. We're bouncing around for the next hour, stick around, you'll be at VAFS rolled on and after this, I want to be the next daily Fantasy millionaire dunk on your NBA DFS competition with Daily Rodal dot com and dominate

I was just reading during the break, Frank, it's a lie. I wasn't. What were

you reading? Greg? I was lying, I was. I was reading about a lotta falcons, and you know, this coach speak thing really bothers us I think it's very frustrated. So yesterday or they before Queen comes out and it's like, hey, feeling really good about Devanti Freeman and Austin Hooper feeling good. I'm optimistic. That's not always sounds, but that's how it sounds in my head. Devant Freeman need in practice today,

and again it's Wednesday. Whatever, we don't care. Auston Hooper not only did he not practice today, he's been rolled out for this week or ready rolled out on a Wednesday. How do you feel like Austin Hooper's trending in the right direction if he was already ruled out on a Wednesday? Yeah, I'm not sure, gret. I think that half the time these coaches are just trolling the media. It's like, what

are they gonna say? Obviously they're not going to try and reveal anything from their game plan for the week, like they want the team that they're facing off against to think, all right, maybe there's a chance that Davanta Freeman does play, So let's you know, carve out a game plan if DeVante Freeman plays, but if not, you know,

here's our game plan if Brian Hill plays. You know, so things change obviously, And I think that, you know, as why has wide open as you leave things, you know, that just leaves more game planning for the opposing team. And I think that half the time, you know, that's what these coaches are trying to do, right, Like they're trying to outsmart the other coach and have time to just end up outsmarting themselves. So this comes with the territory, man, just you know, we we try to wager on the games.

We try to figure out what teams are gonna do from a fantasy football perspective, and you know this is part of the navigation process. It certain it certainly is. So a lot of what I wanted to talk about on today's show was typically we do that you sucking, we know it on a Wednesday. But to me, it's not you sucking. We know it, but it's your death

spring and we know it. And that's where I get to the Austin Hooper thing, where if you are in a playoff position where you're making the playoffs, you go and you know that already. Do you go to a desperate owner that is trying to make the playoffs and say, hey, I want Austin Hooper Like is he somebody that you feel comfortable doing that with or do you do not

want to get involved with this kind of injury? And we know it's a sprained mc L. We know that could cost we I believe of An Ingram had a similar uh injury that cost him about two weeks maybe three depending on this week. But is that where you take a shot or you want to go somewhere else toward the desperate owners, not the Austin Hooper away. I think I would be all right trying to acquire Austin Hooper. Obviously,

it depends on the price tag. This is something you were asking me about downstairs, right, Like if you are a playoff team and you you know, you're planning for the future, everyone's trying to look at playoff schedules and you know players that have good schedules in those you know, weeks fourteen to sixteen um time period. I think, yeah, look, Austin Hooper this year, Greg he was the tight end one when he was healthy, when he was on the field.

He is currently the tight end one in terms of fantasy points per game, like he's being targeted in the red zone. And this was a breakout year for Austin Hooper, There's no doubt about it. So I think if you can get him on the cheap, you know, and an opposing owner who is desperate right now, they can't afford to wait for Austin Hooper. Had one of my buddies earlier today texting me asking, you know, look, I don't have Austin Hooper. I lost Tyreek Hill. It's you know,

I need help, you know what should I do? And there's a lot of people that are in this predicament. So they might just be willing to give up Austin Hooper for a wide receiver three that they can start because they have injuries, or a tight end that they can just get in their lineup. So I think that if you're looking pretty you're set for the playoffs. Sure, yeah, I mean, as long as the price is right, Yeah,

why not go out and try and acquire in Austin Hooper? Normally, you know, we don't like to have too much injury optimism, but I think everything that we've read and seen so far is Austin Hooper is going to be back, not this week, maybe not even next week, but if we can get him for those playoff weeks, Greg weeks fourteen to sixteen, which seems like a realistic timetable. Yeah, why not.

So I was just reading as you were as you're going on in a similar fashion about the Steelers, I mentioned Jovid jujuced, theth Schuster, the knee injuries not super uh super bad for Juju, but with a knee with a concussion, he's not gonna play this week and knee concussion, Mason Rudolph, I mean it all adds up to black. So Deante Johnson, we don't know if he's gonna play this week. So I know that James Washington is the number one one receiver, you know, the number three wide receiver.

Maybe that is that Johnny Holton. Maybe. But the way if I was looking for according to this, I didn't even realize he got cut previously from his other team. Yeah, Deon Kane, yes I did. I did not know that. I was like, we're doing it, We're doing it. Yeah. I mean, look, we were a Dion Kane fan last year when he came out of Clemson. Clemson just turns out these wide receivers that have performed pretty well at the NFL level, and he was an interesting mix of

size and speed. But then he tore his I believe he tore his a c L. He had a season ending injury last year during training camp with the Colts, and he hasn't really been able to return to form the Colts obviously. You know, they like Zach Pascal, They've liked Chester Rogers for a few years now, and they just drafted Paris Campbell this past season in the UH in this past draft, in the NFL draft. So I think that Deon Kane was somewhat expendable for them. I

did see that he landed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. But ultimately, look, if we're not excited, or at least I'll speak for myself, I don't speak for you Greg. If I'm not excited about James Washington, I don't know how excited I could be about Dion Kane, who probably doesn't know the playbook. And yeah, has Mason Rudolph throwing the ball to him. Yeah, I understand why he would not even be really excited about that situation. Let's get into UM tomorrow. Nice matchup.

I don't wanted to break it down. We'll do it tomorrow. Virginia will be back on the show tomorrow as well. But the ruy NX. How did those running backs go off the waiver wire for you in your home leagues? Yes, so when it comes to Jonathan Williams in the pit league, as I mentioned earlier, he went for fifteen dollars. That's out of a one hundred dollar budget. In my home league, he went for twelve dollars. John and Williams was the most expensive running back in terms of fab last night

for me in the leagues that I play in. Next up with nineham Hines. I picked him up for four dollars in my home league. By remaining four dollars, I hope, you know, something comes out of it night heem Hines tomorrow night. Um. I think that he's going to have a few targets. Obviously, he's gonna have some opportunity to probably play like thirty percent of the snaps. He'll get maybe a handful of carries and you know, three or four targets. The Texans struggle big time against past catching

running backs. They've allowed the most receptions to running backs so far this season. We just saw mark Ingram or Ingram of all running backs have two receiving touchdowns last week. It's like their linebackers and safeties just forget to cover running backs when they come out the flat, um, you know, out of the backfield in order to catch passes. And then you know, I saw Jordan Wilkins. He was picked up in the league's I play in. You know, he was not picked up for any money. He was just

you know, zero dollar bids. I picked him up in a league where we still play with the traditional waiver system, and I have Marlon Mack on my team, but I'm in first place in this league, so I didn't get Jonathan Williams. Niheem Hines was already owned, and I ended up picking up Jordan Wilkins. So it seems like most people are thinking, Greg that Jonathan Williams is going to be the guy that Twall Dollar been in. My home league actually went to Michael Florio, so he knows a

thing or two. Yeah, I still I saw him tweeting about it as well this morning, like, hey, you never know, you're just putting them in what happens? Alright, Floria, I got it. But would you label that as a bad Florio tweet? Yeah? Okay, so if he was still on the show, you would call him out, which I would, Alright, I don't just doing it right now? Yeah, so you don't just do it to me. You think it'd be different if he was sitting in this room that I

wouldn't say anything. Um, I thought that this bad Gurley take. If you liked as well, Um, nice job he desert, Let's go. But you know, in all in all seriousness, you read the tweet yesterday, The Beat reporter said a lot of Jordan Wilkins, Um it's really hard to predict. I said yesterday when we were off in the air trying to make our own bids, that Jonathan Williams is probably the guy I would have for soon that was that was our backup bid for instance. Um, I think

he sees a majority of the workload. I think the Colts are gonna do what they need to do. Eric Hebron also a question marking this game, as I saw just a few moments ago. Did you see on Sunday he was like throwing up on the side and see that. Yeah, he was just like coming to the sideline and like throw. Yeah he was sick or whatever. I don't know, partying in Indianapolis the night before, whatever it might be. So yeah, that was a home game against the Jaguars. So yeah,

I'll pay attention to him. You know, look, I understand Jack Doile let everyone down last week, but if there's no Eric Ebron, if there's no t Y Hilton, he's like forward has been practice today. Eric Ebron was te why Hilton was kind of seems like they're rushing him back a little bit. Man, it's a big game. Even if he plays like he always crushes the Texans and he always crushes it when he plays injured. Yea, I guess. Look, if you own him, you're gonna have to put him

in your line up. But of course you are. It's I'm telling you, and so I agree. I know that Virginia. We're gonna talk to Virginia about this tomorrow as well. He's going to be at a big risk for reinjury. So I agree. But if they're cautious with him, you just limited snaps, limitated snaps in the right situation, taking your deep shots with him. You need it. He owns

the Texans, he owns them. Whenever they play indoors, this game will be played in It's a must a crush, it's a must winner for Indianapolis, and they're all for ten days. If he plays, you have to play, Truss. Let's take a break. We'll come back. What do you want to do next? We've got the most drop players. See if there's anyone that you find interesting on here. Got some like cheaper league trade targets as well. And you're desperate and we know it. Want to be the

Channel five seventeen. Happen to have you aboard here on the Sports Grade Network Rank I mentioned before Austin Hooper and a You're you're frustrated and you're desperate

and we know it. But you mentioned before all those teams that are on by I look at Minnesota and I look at Dalvin Cook, and I look at Stefon Diggs. I look at Adam Feeling that could be healthy. How do I get those players? What do I do to go out and get those players from a team that needs to win this week? They cannot, they lose their out, they need to win. What do I do? How far do I go? You take advantage, Greig, That's obviously what

you do when it comes to Dalvin Cook. He's obviously the one that I would want more than anybody else on this Minnesota Vikings team. I mean that schedule from you know, week thirteen on at Seattle, Verse Detroit at the Los Angeles Chargers and Verse Green Bay. I mean Dalvin Cook. You know, he's getting a lot of people to the playoffs, but he's going to win a lot of people fantasy championships as well based on that schedule.

And I think, look, if there's a team that is fighting for their playoff lives right now, if they're on the cosp if they're you know that that's six seed, that four seed. However, many teams in your league make the playoffs and they don't have Dalvin Cook this week, They're gonna be desperate, man. So I think if you can offer some depth, if you can, you know, send a classic Twoper one Frank trade over to somebody and

try and acquire Dalvin Cook right now. I mean, this is what you should be doing when it comes to Stefon Diggs and Adam Feeling. I think it's a tough, tougher situation, Greg, because Stefon Diggs, while he has had some very big boom weeks we talked about this on Monday, his targets share has still you know, it hasn't been massive. It's it's actually quite underwhelming, and he has made the

most of his targets. But they spread the ball around. B. C. Johnson has been involved the tight ends they're they're throwing to both IRV Smith and Kylie Rudolph. I not justly would not be trying to acquire neither Adam Feeling nor Stefan Digs right now. But if you can get Dalvin Cook, obviously, it's a no brainer. I think that if a team is desperate, you can probably get him for less than

what his value actually is. Greg Yeah, I I totally totally agree with you that if you find the desperate owner that is active and trying to make the playoffs, you are able to potentially make a really get a

huge advantage there. And I think the same can be said when you look at some other situations, specifically in Los Angeles where there's not one but two running backs you could try to get, and something like Austin Ekeler like, they probably want to train them away knowing that he's one A or one B to a one A. In Melvin Gordon, knowing that you don't have him this week, it doesn't seem so hard. And I've tried to trade for him and trade him away harder than I thought.

The idea makes sense, and Ela has been consistent even with Melvin Gordon. Right, he's not getting as many carries as you want, but he's still a huge part of the past game. Philip Rivers cannot throw the ball down the field right now. That's why you see Hunter Henry getting as many targets as he is. I mean, he's twenty two percent target chair since he's returned from injury. I would look into trying to acquire Hunter Henry if

you can as well. But Philip Rivers cannot throw the ball down the field, Greg, So he's targeting all these short intermediate routes Keenan Allen. The targets have been there, the touchdowns haven't been until this past week. But Keenan Allen, Hunter, Henry, Austin Ekeler, you know, Austin Nickler and half point PPR leave. Gregg has not had lower than nine Fantasy points in each of the past five weeks. No, that's not nothing. I mean he's a legitimate flex play every single week,

and that that actually you know that has value. I mean, people are you know I'm starting that he heinz in a flex this week? People are in a bind. So I think that if you can trade away your wide receiver three or trade away a lower end flex to uh someone to acquire Austin Ekeler, especially in a PPR league, that makes a lot of sense. Right now, Greg totally totally get it. And we go to Kansas City. Now, I know no one by one here, but with Kansas City,

Tyree Hills in a similar situation, Austin Hoover. Isn't a hamstring strain. We heard it was called mild. Here's a chance he's back for Week thirteen misses No time you take a shot on Tyreek Hill. This one's a little bit more interesting because again this comes down to injury optimism. He does have the bye week off to get himself right, and he faces Oakland coming out of the buy in Week thirteen. So honestly, obviously you want Tyreek Hill to

be healthy for that matchup. Oakland secondary has just been you know, decimated by wide receivers all season long. But then after that he gets the Patriots, the Denver Broncos, in the Chicago Bears. So this is a bit of a mixed bag. I think that at this point we know Tyreek Hill is he's matchup proof, but those are tougher matchups here, and plus we have the injury optimism

on top of that. You know, I would have to get Tyreek Hill at I think a pretty significant discount to try and take on all that risk right now, right they know what is that discount though, because you like I would do, I know there's the risk of the re injury, but you get him back in three weeks like that. It's a mild strain. He's a game breaker. Man, I'm in a wide receiver too. Would you give up? This is gonna sound crazy on where I am in

the standings. Well, the person you're trying to acquire Tyreek Hill from is fighting. Yeah, it's a team that's struck, and I'm comfortable feeling like I would you trade away John Brown to get tire you killed? And no? Instantly your mind's gonna say, yeah, of course it's John Brown, but the second but really really conceising the second most consistent receiver in all of football. But I would ask because their schedule is very tough coming up. It is

a tough schedule coming up for John Brown. Is that something you would do? I would say, yes, I would trade away John Brown for Tyreek Hill. Yes, yeah, it's just and it's tougher. Uh and and then yeah, I'm looking at the schedule Week fourteen, fifteen, it's Baltimore Pittsburgh. Yeah, it's tough for John Brown. Man, I think that if you have a playoff spot locked up, Um, Tyreek Hill has more offside than John Brown. Yes, there is more risk involved as well, though, that's that's a toughie. I

think I would do it too. I would take after all that. But yeah, Don Brown has been really consistent. How about a d J Chark. You did it, not me. I did it for you rank what I do? Did you know that I was gonna do it? You always do it. I didn't do it. Just now. I would trade away d J Chark for Tyreek Hill. It's just on Tary Hill. Do you view Tyreek Hill just says like matchup proof. You're not worried about that Patriots matchup, Denver matchup, whatever it is, Okay, so you don't worry

about the injury either. I just see that he could win you a championship. What I mean, I would keep d J Chark personally. Tyry Hills got that can weed a championship. So can DJ Chart based on the way he's played. Absolutely absolutely all right, Um d J Chark for what it's worth. Greig schedule coming up Tennessee this week, Tampa Bay in Week thirteen, Week fourteen, the Chargers a little bit tough against Casey Hayward. Weeks fifteen and sixteen, Oakland and a t L. Do not do not trade

away d J Chark. Do not listen to Greg do not trade away, d J Chark do dude? You don is? I knew it was coming Arizona. What do you pay for Christian Kirk, Christian Kirk, Kenny Drake? Yeah? I think Kenyan Drake is an interesting one. Is vote right? Like? His workload was massive compared to David Johnson, and I don't think that's going to change much. Would you rather have Bo Scarborough or Kenyan Drake? I would rather have Kenyan Drake just plays in a better offense. You don't

know what's gonna happen with Matthew Stafford. Honestly don't know what's gonna happen with this Lion's running back situation. Of course, we're all hoping that Bo Scarborough uh sees those you know, sees ten to fifteen touches per week, maybe even a little bit more than that. But Kenyan Drake is actually doing it right now, and he's being targeted, and he plays for a good offense in the Arizona Cardinal. So yeah,

I would rather have Kenyan Drake. When it comes to Christian Kirk, look, if you could give up a solid to lower and wide receiver three, if you give up a Hollywood Brown, Right, That's something that I would do if you can give up a I don't. I don't know if anyone's taking on a Tyler Boyd, but a Tyler Boyd uh Robert Woods. I think something like that makes a lot of sense for Christian Kirk. I'd rather have Christian Kirk than both of those guys that you

just mentioned, Tyler Boyd and Robert Woods. I think, I do you want to remember like Kenyan Drake though, is Chase Evans very well could be back after the bye say. I think, and this is just my speculation, the Cardinals know that Kenyan Drake is going to be a free agent, and they're not going to resign him because they have David Johnson under contract, and I believe that Chase Edmonds

is still under his rookie deal as well. So I think that they are kind of running Kenyan Drake into the ground because they know next year and beyond it's likely going to be the David Johnson Show and the Chase Edmonds Show. I think that they're going to continue to give Kenyan Drake a lot of work here. Greg. I wonder if there's a chance of a trade for Arizona with both Chase Emans and David Johnson there, we'll see trade one of them away and then resigned Kenyan

Drake something like that. No, I mean, one of those guys will be your star and like whatever can he goes away. But like, I think that they're not gonna be able to trade away that David Johnson contract. Didn't

they pay him most of the money already? Yeah, I mean, I guess you'd have to look into the stakes of the of the contracts, right, like how much guaranteed money is still left on a deal because normally, you know, two or three years into a deal, you can basically cut whoever you want and you know it's there's no more guaranteed money involved, So you'd have to look into that. How do you feel about Kenyan Drake as a keeper

trade target? Craig So, I thought this was interesting because he's entering free agency based on the way that he is playing, and I don't know what else we need to see from Kenyan Drake. He is a starting caliber running back at the NFL level. It is very obvious he is a good pass catcher as well. If he lands with a team next year, Greg where he is the starting running back. He's going to have pretty damn good value. So do you like him as a you know,

keeper trade target? You know it's funny because I I think of this. We said the same thing last year about Sevin Coleman. I was gonna say, yes, we did, but this isn't a great example. Were also the same thing on the other side, as Mike Florio celebrated about Damian Williams and having him as a keeper for nothing, I was like, dude, a contract extension, right, like all of a sudden, Kenyan Drake's it was like like a two year, six million dollar contract extensions, the same thing

as Damian Williams. I'll be like, I're not paying him anything three million dollars. Who carries? And Damian Williams was an awesome keeper theoretically because he came in as the starter, unquestioned starter. He then got back to it, got hurt, came back as the starter again, and I was wrong. I was dead wrong. So I wanted my first instinct is to tell you I think Kenyan Duran's a terrible keeper, that like he'll go somewhere and not be the starter.

He'll be the one be wrong. There's no guarantees. It's just what do you think is gonna happen? There are anything can happen. There are a bunch of teams that do need running just mentioned Kansas City. I mean, Greg, imagine Kenyan Drake in Kansas City, right, you could? You could imagine him in Buffalo, right, Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay. Absolutely.

I think Atlanta potentially. Davante Freeman looks old, yeah, you know, and I know that he has a big contract, but they might have gut that maybe Freeman sign a Kenyan jury. So I think there's a lot of places where they need a running back. And I don't know if Keny Drake's the guy trademark, but you can never role so I don't love him as a keeper keeper Dynasty leagues to me, I find it Laffer. Yeah, dynasy is very different. We'll tell you about who was dropped than who matters

Tomorrow on the program, Virginia Zakis will join in US and we yell over the latest injuries to you, Hilton Tyree Hill updates there. I will also preview Thursday night football between the Colts and the Texans. I'm hoping to go out for wings afterwards, Frank to to enjoy the game. Am I was that an invitation? Come not probably not anything, Sorry, man, I'm excited for it as Sandro, Come do it, Greggy, some Texans, some cults,

visional matchup. If I don't give her wings. I left that we're beginning of meatball. So whatever you want to do, man, all right, ever you want to do. We mentioned who were desperate to trade four and who we want to take advantage of. Let me get to the players that we're dropped this week and if we have any issues with them, and I mentioned a lot David Johnson introduced miss Schuster, like, I'm I'm okay with it. Let me talk about to some of the other ones. Well, are

you looking at me for David Johnson? Wanted is just so I get it. It's just it's just so, it's hard for me to like, I understand. Somebody asked me, can I drop David Johnson for both Scarbrough? Like really? And you're like, do we have any else? Probably that was my exact response. The sting so predictable. You know, sorry, right, we worked We worked together a long time now hopefully forever. Um. This is a really interesting one. Towar the bottom. Tyler Boyd.

Tyler boy dropable. There are a few other names on this list that I think are more droppable, like the two wide receivers just ahead of Tyler Boyd. I think I would rather drop, which are Sammy Watkins and Mike Williams. I you know, I told you about Sammy Watkins on Monday, yesterday, whatever it was. I am done with Sammy Watkins. And you will feel so liberated when you release Sammy Watkins from your team. All the talent in the world. Maybe the injuries have caught up to him, The fact that

the Chiefs spread the ball around. I am okay dropping Sammy Watkins. I'd rather drop him than I would Tyler Boyd Greg. The reason being there's a lot of injuries to the Cincinnati Bengals right now. I understand Ryan Finley is a terrible quarterback. I saw a Bengals beat reporter described the way that Ryan Finley throws the ball as somebody throwing a paper airplane. Probably don't want your quarterback being described that way. But Tyler Boyd Greg, I think

we get the squeaky wheel game this week. He complained after the game that I'm not being targeted enough. He only had one catch for zero yards last week. I'm really sure how that happens. But Audentate is banged up. They don't really have any other past catchers on this team, like Tyler Eifford. It's Alex Ericson. I think we're getting the squeaky wheel game this week. When it comes to Tyler Boyd, I'm not saying he's a great play, but

I think the targets turn around this week. I'd be more likely to drop Sammy Watkins, who's on a buy Mike Williams, who's on a buy Audentate, Tyler Boyd's teammate than I would Tyler Boyd. He took a lot about dripping Um Audentate in recent weeks, and I agree. I know issues with dropping any of those guys Um that you managed. What about your boy Mohammed Sanu, You were

really high on him last week. A lot of the industry folks, sorry industry folks, talked about how many targets he to receive and again it was a tough game of Patriots overall and a good matchup. Well, nothing's really change right like, so you're still seeing the similar amount of targets that we were excited about. He was dropping the places if he was, are you picking up? I would be picking him up. I don't think that you should be dropping Mohamed Sanew right now. He did not

practice today. He's dealing with an ankle issue, so pay attention to that obviously, and he had a terrible game. Look, two catches for four yards. If we're being honest, the entire Patriots offense did not have a good day on Sunday, outside of Julian Edemen throwing a touchdown to Philip door Set should have been Mohammed Sanknew. That would have you know, that would have made the day at least no doubt.

Look two games ago, fourteen targets, ten receptions. The schedule coming up Dallas at Houston, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Buffalo in week sixteen. You don't love that, but we have some matchups here that we could take advantage of. Greg. And again, as I said last week, part of my reasoning for liking Mohammed Sannew was they gave up a second round pick for this guy. He is going to be involved, and I still believe that to be true. I'm not

just gonna flip flop based on one game. So if he was dropping your league, I would be looking to pick him up. So I I agree that I want to pick him up. There you go, we just did our leftover segment for tomorrow. Greg. Yeah, we'll find another player as something else for tomorrow. Um, but here's I agree with some news out there. I'm picking him up. Also, he's involved this Patriot's offense. You do want pieces there. Um. And when it when you're looking to fill out your bench,

you're looking for a guy like Mohammed Sanew. Probably maybe not I got that could pop off and not a handcuff, but a guy that you could put into flex, like feel reasonably comfortable about him approaching ten are points right, Like that's the thought behind the Mohammed Sanna. Something else you mentioned to me yesterday. It's not somebody that's been dropped, but Brandon Cooks is coming back for the Rams. It

looks like this weekend in the clear Concuster protocol. We don't know the deal with Robert Woods quite yet, but somebody in my league. He's offering everybody Cooper Cup, like he's trying to just sell Cooper Cup. It's been too bad games and he needs to improve in other areas. And I I threw out an offered to him involving like Kevin Coleman or Austin Ekeler, and you said to me, you know, I don't really want to get involved with his Rams offense right now. And this Rams offense was

the explosive offense last year. It was a year of McVeigh. All you wanted was any piece you could find on the Rams offense. And that held true even earlier this season. But now as we approach week twelve, yeah, sure names are again or off the back of the jersey maybe it's even off the front of the jersey in some aspects. But you know me not necessarily get involved. Don't try my best or hardness to go out and get a Cooper Cup or anybody on this Rams offense. Well, there

are a lot of mouths to feed. Brandon Cooks is getting set to return to this offense as well. The tight ends have been somewhat involved. Gerald Everett I don't think was and this team leaned on the run again last week. It was, you know, the Todd Gurley show. Over twenty carries, a season high twenty five carries. He had a few targets as well. I think that this team is starting to get back to, you know, relying on Gurley as their go to option and letting that

really set up the play action. A lot of their lack of success this year has been due to their offensive line. They've had a lot of injuries, they lost some players in free agency. Um. But if they can establish that run again, it will set things up for the past through the play action. I mean, that's how this off and runs. I mean, when when Todd Gerley is going, everything else in this Rams offense is going. But next week, this week, rather Week twelve, the Baltimore Ravens.

You don't really want to get involved with that because that Ravens secondary is amazing. The schedule lets up a little bit after that. Do you realize it is a Marcus Peters revenge game. It is a market and he's been unbelievable. He talked about it earlier this week, basically off the team. They just traded him away a month ago. Yeah, even if Brandon Cooks plays, it's not going to be a good matchup for him or Robert Woods. I mean,

whoever Marcus Peters is matched up with. I think the way to attack this RAMS defense is probably over the middle with Cooper Cup. Look, if you can get him for dirt cheap, sure, I mean it's something that you should be able to do. It's just I don't like trading away of running back depth this time of year. Greg. If if you could trade away a wide receiver three on your team, or you know, a wide receiver on your bench that you know you're not using to acquire

Cooper Cup. Sure, like, if you can buy him super low, that's gonna be able to do that. I wouldn't think, but look, this guy is trying to trade him away for anything. I wouldn't say anything. So he proposed. He proposed. He told me earlier today he tried to get um Cooper Cup and he tried to trade away Cooper Cup and a tight end. He has two crafty tight ends. I don't know why he thinks he has tight end death he doesn't. He has no tight ends. Um. It sounds like my kind of guy. He would love him.

He talked about the wedding Um Cooper Cup and either Greg Olsen or Jared Cook for Chris Godwin is what he was trying to attempt to do earlier. Wow. Yeah, no, not that. Chris Godwin has been great recently. But I'll still take Chris Godwin. I'll take my chances. I agree with that very much. You want to Chris Godwin owner. No, I'm not trading. Nothing to do with me, but I I didn't hear about it. Man. I'm look. I appreciate the effort try and sell Cooper Cup based on his

name value. He had yard game. I like Cooper Cup more than you did. That's how you try and trade away Cooper Cup right now like its owner, So try and get him. He didn't want to take Austin Nikeler or Tevin Coleman. He wouldn't do that, you said, but he wants tight with it. Yeah, I try to Golden Tate and said, I asked you. Yeah, I mean, look, if you could just do it for Tad, obviously, that'd be awesome. Do you start one of Tevin Coleman or

Austin Ekeler only a week? Yeah, So that's why I look, it's just it's tough to give up running back death because you trade away Ekeler next thing you know, Tevin Coleman gets hurt and then you're screwed. So I just this time of year, I don't like trading away running back deap. Okay, fair enough, and we but I have more running back death. Now you realize that, right I've gotta do is foo leave. Let's go. Let's go, man.

Not only not only did I um, okay, We're gonna take some some serious heat when this blows up in her face, aren't we, Greg, Not only I'll show you this carries for twenty yards incoming. Not only they take a bow Scarborough this week. Look at the team name, look at the logo. It' isn't that right over to you? This guy is you gotta bow. Leave, he's got the bow. Dallas Avatar. I'm all in, man. Greg is not playing around here a little bit. We're just flinging around your

laptop like it's nothing. It's it's it's laptop. Take taking care of that thing. I tried my best. Don't just fling it around here, No, of course not. Um anyway, Oh listen, doesn't blow up in our phases. We had like five minutes left, frank, Um, I know you've been wanting to talk about keeper the trade targets because your keeper deadline is coming up here. Um, you've been really tossing around as DJ chark for a six round pick at me and like ark as a six round pick

excuse me? Six next six round raft pick next here? And I'm like, really do the value in that? But you're I know there's some other trade targets you're looking for in your league, and we wanted to get to that before people's keeper trade deadlines went away. Yeah. I did want to just express how I play in my

keeper league. I think you could do the same, Greg and just kind of let people know in case, you know, they're trying to make their home league into a keeper league or trying to figure out what kind of rules, uh they should set up. So in our league is if you pick up a waiver wire, pick up a player off the waiver wire and he wasn't drafted, then that player could be kept for a sixth round pick the next year. That's why dj Chark has a sixth

round price tag heading into next season. And any other player is wherever they were drafted, their keeper value just moves up one one round. So for example, Devin Singletary was drafted in the seventh round. Next year he is a sixth round pick. And in our league, you can only keep a player for up to three years, because you know, you don't want to be able to just keep a player forever and ever. I mean, that's you know you want to do that, just play in a

dynasty league. But in the keeper league, we have a three year max of how long you can keep a player. So and we only keep two players in my home league. So if you two players that I'm looking at here, Greg, You're you're gonna find a constant theme. They're all young players that I think can take a step forward next year. And Baker Mayfield Man Baker Mayfield has had a really, really tough schedule. It's about to get a lot easier.

I really like Baker this week. I haven't done my rankings yet, but I think he's gonna I'm gonna be really aggressive with Baker. I'm gonna have him inside of my top ten. You just saw what Josh Allen did against that Dolphins defense. I like him a lot, and I still do think he's a talented player. Now, the best quarterbacks in the NFL, they can overcome tough matchups. Is Baker Mayfield one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL? No? Probably not. Is he a really good quarterback with good

weapons that can exceed in in neutral or really good matchups. Yes, I do think that that's the case. So Baker Mayfield that the quarterback position. Some running backs here, Greg and I'll throw this back your way. You let me know which one of these players you might like most out of this group. Darius Guys Adrian Peterson might be off Washington next year, which means it'll be all Darius Guys Sackfield, or at least that's what we hope. That's what we

hope coming into the year. Miles Sanders Rice love a player that I do have slight interested in Dynasty. I do, Devin Singletary and then Kenyan Drake, the aforementioned Kenyan Drake. So of those four running backs, which one would interest you most in terms of trying to trade for them in the keeper League? I think the guy most likely

is Darius Guys. I'm really excited about him. I think that whatever coach comes into Washington next year, his sole job is going to make Dwayne Haskins better and implemented offense around Darius Guys. Like I think we're going to see it over the next six weeks or so. Um what kind of feet with the future holds for Darius Guys if he can stay healthy, if you could prove himself. And I think Darius Guys is one of those guys.

If he pops off in the fantasy playoffs, I don't know Washington schedule offhand, but if he pops off, it's going to be like Nick Chub this year, We're all of a sudden speaks in the first round. Like that's what I think Darius Guys. Wow, Yeah, that's aggressive. I do like Darius Guys myself. I do I have interest in Devin Singletary because Frank Gore is a pending free agent now they might bring him back just as a

veteran to have around Devin Singletary. Singletary is smaller running back, so I don't know that he's ever going to be that running back that gets you twenty plus touches consistently. But he's flash some of the explosiveness. They've been using him more inside the red zone. He can catch passes as well. I do have a lot of interest in Devin Singletary. You mentioned DJ chart Creig. I like him a lot. I don't know where he's gonna go next

year in draft. I think a lot depends on, you know, what he does with Nick Foles here to close out the season. Um, I assume Nick Foles will be back next year as their starting quarterback. But I think, you know, sixth round, he probably goes in that round five, anywhere from like four to six. I think that that's gonna be his range for next year. But d J HRK, Courtland Sun and Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Gregg. Out of those four wide receivers, which one interests you the most?

I think for me, the first thing that comes to mind was was Deebo. I think Deebo Samuel has a connection with Jimmy g and we've seen it over the last couple of weeks. He's only getting better as we approached the end of his rookie year. Remember he used to be the second year wide receiver jump he was. Samuel could be a monster. Yeah, and I want to love Courtland Sutton. The talent is there, But who's gonna be the quarterback? Drew Lock heading into next year? It's

gonna be interesting. He is Frank staff of My name is Drex Sus. Thank you so much for watching and listening to the bff WAD. Your talk is up next fall by at the window all gonnamorrow.

You were like, I don't know sixteen like I want to go to

that would have won them. We had a lot of money left though, so why not we say you can't take it with you right when it comes to fab you gotta spend your money. You gotta get players, especially us right like we had Frank Gore third running back on this team. We need a running back help. So what are you saving your money for? You gotta go out and get Bow. You gotta go out and get your colts running backs whoever it is. Are your rankings done yet? A chance? I need to know where Bow

ranks here. I need to, but you know, it's it's a very busy time for for both you and me. So going on, it's it's busy right now. The next one days, well to night, we'll tell you where both Scarborough ranks in Frank's running back rankings. Obviously, I have a lot of questions for me, like where is he compared to Jalen Samuel? I don't know. Hopefully Frank's gonna help me. That's kind of my main question here. Hopefully

I can tell you as well tomorrow. So over the next hour or so, we're gonna talking about other players that were picked up off the waiver wire and how much they went for, because it's interesting. Like, I know it's week twelve, I know we have a buye and I know he said you can't take your fab with you or you take that number one waiver claim with you. It doesn't feel like people were overly aggressive this week.

Doesn't it feel like kind of save that maybe they're saving for the playoffs and NFC you can't, but like most hopefully you can, you spend the same fabut did people were liver more cautious this week than I thought they would be. I think a lot of people have been burned by the Lions running backs and this cold situation is a tough one to figure out. We don't know who the main running back is going to be.

It's a running back by committee. If Jordan Wilkins plays in that game, we're looking at three different running backs involved against a not so great matchup against the Houston Texans. So I think that there's not really a standout Waiver Wire edition this week. I mean, we really like both

Scarborough nobody else now. But you know, if you've already set it running back, which I don't really know how you can be like based on the running back landscape, but there might be a few teams out there that have some have enough running backs that they don't need both Scarbro So you know, maybe you save your money till week thirteen. You see, Look, all you need is one injury, Greg. That's all it takes. Right, If someone gets hurt this week, then you know we could have

another running back ad we could have. You know, if a wide receiver steps up, whatever it might be, you know there's not a an awesome wide receiver pick up. This week. We talked about Hunter Rent for Taylor Gel. I think about it. The more James Washington. Yeah, so the more I think, I disagree because I think James Washington probably is that guy. If both starting wide receivers are out for the Steelers, it's all James Washington. That's what it comes down to. You don't throw it at all?

Is very bad. Greg is like Dwayne Haskins level bad. Where's that bad? He's very bad? Somewhere. Interceptions last week they takes the Bengals, and you don't have James Conner, you don't have Juju, you don't have Jana Da Johnson Donald week. They have to move down a field somehow, and I have to imagine that's Jalen Samuel's. Is why I brought that up against Postcarborough because I have them both and James Washington like, maybe we underestimated this. James

Washington think a little bit. I think that the opportunity is going to be there, the volume is going to be there, But again, I just don't really trust the play of Mason Rudolph
