Week 12 Waiver Wire, Adds, Streams

listening to us or suffer the consequences. Listen don dunnit. Yeah, Now welcome your Friday from mine, un Fi god, Frob Say, Francis, frantic statall ladies and gentle in yours and when that we want you inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFFs. He is Frank Staffel. I am Greg Susman. Frank. What's happening? But Greg, Happy Tuesday to you. Fun game last night, fun game ish between the Chargers and the Chiefs.

Of course, if you are not a Chargers fan or a Philip Rivers fantasy owner, then it was a pretty good night for you. Greg. How did you sleep? I slept fantastic. You know what I lied? You slept terribly, But I want to say I slept fantastically because of the game and in general, Like you don't seem to remember, Frank our conversation yes year, what was that? Remind you? Please remind me. So I was basically tied going into

last night's game. Yes, I was playing Patrick Mahomes and I had Tyreek Hill and Austin Ekeler, and I gave you the news that you didn't want to hear. You said, who's gonna win? I said, probably the MA home side. But you had a little bit of an unfortunate event happened last night. So Tyreek Hill gets hurt immediately, Yes, he does immediately, and I'm like, oh my god, I needed a win, man, I needed a win. So six receptions, ninety five yards receiving the first half of Louston Nightler,

I feel pretty good. Like Mos hasn't done anything, I feel pretty good. I got a good shot at this Moms in a really good second half. Frank not really good. Actually, at least amount of passing yards he's ever had in his life. It was called touchdowns cos Kelsey because I was the only one through one touchdown Kelsey. So going into his last drive and Austin Ekeler does nothing in the second half, right, nothing, absolutely nothing. So going into that last drive. I'm up four points at that moment,

and I'm like, oh my god. Basically he needs a touchdown in order to beat me, is what I'm thinking. Okay, fine, and they just I want to just run the clock out. Tick tack tick tick tick tick. Of course, on a third down he rushes for sixteen yards and I'm like, oh my god, oh greggy. So now i am up one point nine points and it's third down and he gets sacked or stacked frost or whatever. They don't complete it.

All right, I'm up one point nine points. Let's go figuring we'll get the Eckler dump Boss on this last drive. So now all I want. I don't care about the Eckler dump Boss, be honest, know the game man, Because the Chiefs got the ball back wheels, big bang, boom, ticktck deck to deck, So then of course you get the long heave down the field complete. It's a freaking the only past Philip Rivers completed all night. They say he was out of balance. He wasn't. The clock stops,

no take deck, clock just stopped. And I saw betting Twitter going nuts over this, and rightfully, so the clock stopped. You shouldn't have stopped. It shouldn't have So Eckler catches the past. Fine, I'm still up. Let's say around four now, and I'm just like, here's gonna happen. You know what's gonna happen. Georges are gonna score a touchdown, They're gonna tie the game. Homes go go win the game. This is it. This is how I lose. And then Philip

Rivers throws the interception? Why because he always does? Why because he is a loser, always has been a loser in fact, little harsh is it? What does he want in his career? Nothing, that's the correct answer. Maybe some fantasy championships. You know, he is the third most wins all time. You never even reach the Super Bowl, Fran targeting Danna Marino have more. They reached super bowls, Lipser, Sure, yeah, and he does what he always does. They lost, which

caused me so win. So I went to sleep feeling great, and yet I couldn't really sleep very well. I don't know why I'm feeling awesome. This is not the turn that I thought this story was gonna. Wait A I won based on your tone the entire time, Like well, Greg lost for sure, Patrick Mahomes career high fifty nine rushing. Alright, so congrats Greg Man. So why didn't you Why didn't you sleep? Well? I don't know all that. At least you won, did I felt great? Maybe you were so

pumped about the wind you just couldn't sleep. You know what, I was falling asleep. It's my own fault. I was falling asleep, and then like I thought, it was a ridiculous thing, but my dry cleaning. I wanted to make sure I had my dry cleanings. Gotta wear sports scoot tomorrow. As you know, we have to wear sports. I'm one of those we so I have to wear one or bring one. I'm gonna wear it all day, but I

have to bring one. So I was like, hey, Judy, the dry cleaning here, and then she's like yeah, and then we were I was awake because like I was thinking, and I was like that was that? Like I could go back to sleep. The story all right, that's the end of your story, Greg. I do want to talk about this game a little bit from a fantashy perspective. I didn't tell you a fantasy perspect what happened to

the Chargers running game? Greg what are we doing. I understand that there is an interim OC calling place here. Shane Stiken for the Los Angeles Chargers, they threw Ken wizzen Hunt out because you know he was the scapegoat. He's the reason why the Charges keep losing games. No, it's probably Philip Rivers, like you said, but Melvin Gordon four rushes for sixty nine yards nice, four point nine yards per carry, Austin Ekeler five rushes for twenty four

yards four eight yards per carry. The way to attack the Chiefs is on the ground. Why did they get away from that in the second half? It just doesn't make any sense to me. Greg, Like, even if you fall behind, you're only down by a touchdown late in this game. You know, why are you abandoning the run? And I understand you know everyone wants to throw the ball now right. You know that that makes your offense more efficient throwing the ball. That's fine, Maybe not when

Philip Rivers is your quarterback. I mean, he has seven interceptions over his last two games, and the chief Secondary to their credit, to Steve Spagnolo's credit, Greig has played really well this year. So the way to attack his defense is run. The ball. I don't understand what happened last night again. I mean, this has been fantasy football all season long. It's like stranger things, the upside down. We have a great matchup here for Melvin Gordon, couldn't

really take advantage. Austin Nickeler ends up having a great game, obviously because of the eight receptions. But I feel like Melvin Gordon owners felt like they should have had a bigger game than this, and they really should have Greg. When we come back, well, we'll talk a little bit about the Chief's running backs, and I think that will kind of lead us into our waiver wire discussion because of course, something else happened there. Tom McCoy active bumble,

Damian Williams hurt. Here we go, Chief's running backs all over again. Say with the Chiefs wide receivers will come back. I'll give you an update on Tyreek Hill. I'll tell you what's going on there.

So I mean, why wouldn't you, Greg? It's free absolutely on Pluto have a ton of a ton of channels. We're the best one. But on the Channelschnel five sevent Jean Pluto and remember Frank as always you on the edge. Last night, I wanted the edge. I was on the grid, and the entiree Hill got hurt corn E. According to you, Mike Cara Polo, excuse me, oh, the NFL network, Tyree Hill is going to have an m R i uh in the next day or so. They got back Mexico late.

They're all sleeping now and we'll figure out how bad that hamstring injury is. So basically, um, no actual news from Carafellow. Yeah. And according to Inside Injuries, who we have on the program every Thursday, the good people over at Inside Injuries had this to say regarding Tyreek Hill that he left last night with the hamstring strain and

wasn't able to return. We knew that he suffered a groin strain last season and a hamstring strain back in tween, so he does have a history of lower body soft tissue injuries, so keep that in mind. You know, this might not be something that he just returns from after the bye. They do have a bye heading into week twelve right now. And after he left, I mean, the

targets were basically all spread out, Greg. It was ten targets to Travis Kelsey, who led the team six targets to Lashaw McCoy who also kind of got banged up, slash fumbled and I think they just kind of benched him late in this game. And then Sammy Watkins three targets, McCole,

Hardman four targets, Darryl Williams three targets. We've seen this before earlier on in the season, that when Tyreek Hill was out, when Sammy Watkins was out, it was really Travis Kelsey, and then they would just spread the ball around to a bunch of different receivers. And if Tyreek Hill were him his time, I have a feeling that would be the case again, Greg, it would be a few targets here for Hardman, a few targets here from Robinson to Marcus Robinson, Iron Pringle probably in the mix.

Sammy Watkins stinks. I'm done with Sammy Watkins, man. I mean this guy since Week one, the Fantasy points that he has amassed over that span does not equal the amount of Fantasy points he had in Week one. How ridiculous is that. I understand it was a big Week one, but he hasn't even a massed. Everything that he's done in that span since has not been higher than what he did in week one. So look at the targets are just not there for him right now. They spread

the ball around in this offense. If you want to take a shot on somebody, I would take that shot on Micole Hardman because he has that game breaking ability where he could take one catch to the house and that basically makes his entire fantasy. So I think to Marcus Robinson is the guy that's going to be out on the field of most we sow in Syree Hill was out. Robinson played almost every snap for the Chiefs. Harmon's obviously the big play threat. If you want the

boom er bust guy, it's Hardman. Obviously they'll give him few opportunities per game. If you want the guy that's gonna be on the field more, which I understand that too, it's Robin See. I don't really know where Pringle fits in um and that's the wide receivers. When comes to the running backs, as you mentioned, going to break Lashawn McCoy was active last night, and Andy Reid was pretty steadfast and saying, hey, we want to give his legs a break, whether it's sure or not. He had both

a mental and physical break last week. McCoy is back on the field. Damian Williams left this one early with it. It seemed to be a rib injury. McCoy scores touchdown. Looks awesome on that touchdown. Around looked pretty good overall. Gets the Chargers last night before he left the game with a possible concussion. Next man up was Darryl Williams.

Looks fine. The Chiefs, as we said with Tyreek Hill, have a bye coming up this week, which makes everything a bit convoluted for us when the running game and with the receiving game with Tyree Hill. I don't I hope that the one week off will allow McCoy if he isn't ancouture protocols you get out of it. I don't know how serious the rib injury is. We have seen players play through it wearing a flapjacket. So the Chiefs running game as it has been for much of

the season, Frank is a mess. Yeah, and it will continue to be a mess. I don't really see you why this would change, you know, Damian Williams has the week off to get his body right. We'll see if that's the case. Same thing with Leshawn McCoy. They basically all split snaps. Last night, Darry Williams led this team with twenty nine snaps. He led the team with eleven carries as well, he had three targets. But they're mixing in all three of these guys. It's just it's a headache.

You know, you want a part of this Chiefs backfield because the offense is as great as it is obviously in Kansas City, but you know, it's a three headed committee and on any given week, you don't really know who's going to lead this team in touches. The past couple of weeks it was Damian Williams, and we finally thought that, you know, we were getting that Damian Williams that we drafted back in you know, July and August.

You know, the guy that was going in the first three rounds where he was playing over seventy of the snaps and he was seeing close to twenty touches per game. Like that would be a huge commodity for fantasy football because again, uh, the offense that is generated in Kansas City, but ultimately it's going to continue to be a mess.

Lashaw McCoy fifty percent owned in Yahoo Leagues, dar of Williams just five percent owned, So if you do want to cover yourself, you know, darry Williams is available in a lot of leads, Greg, but there's a few other running backs that we're gonna talk about today that I think we'd rather own than Darryl Williams. Well, it's interesting because, as we said, it's a mess in Kansas City, right, it's a bit dirty, it's it's hard to figure out.

That's kind of how I feel about Indianapolis this Thursday. They play on the short week. We know for a fact that Marlon Mack has broken his hand. I don't imagine he plays on Thursday. Will the practice report come up a little bit? But Jordan Wilkinson spent on an ankle injury, he sees his playing time available. Was, yeah, I'm good, I'll play. You know how good Jonathan Williams look talks about it yesterday on the show. He's gonna play. You know. When it comes to the passing down back,

well that's nahem hines. He's going to play. As effective as the running game wasn't always is with Indianapolis. You do wonder what happens in the case of a shootout the game against Jacksonville was a blowout. They lean on the running game as they want to do this Thursday against Houston. I don't expect it to be as much of a boy. It could be a back and forth game, which could mean more time for Nahem Hines. All of these guys, Frank are out on the waiver wire right now.

What do we do as of now? I'm still looking at Jonathan Williams. I think he proved himself last week and proved himself to the coaching staff that they can actually lean on him if they need to. Now, Jordan Wilkins does throw aid wrench and things. He didn't play this past week because of an ankle injury. He's trying to get out there for Thursday night football. They're on the short week heading into Week twelve. But Jonathan Williams

led this team with forty percent of the snaps. He had thirteen carries, he had one reception on only one target, a hundred and forty seven total yards, so he basically picked up right where Marlon Mack left off. And he also had four red zone carries, so they they proved that they trust Jonathan Williams in that area of the

field as well. I do agree that, you know, if Jordan Wilkins, will Wilkins is active for this game, Greg, I mean that really, really, you know, messes things up here from from the Colts running back perspective, because you know, we could see both of those guys, Jonathan Williams and Wilkins mixed in on early downs and heading into this game. The way to attack the Texans defense is actually with

pass catching running backs. We just saw mark Ingram with two receiving touchdowns last week, and Houston is allowing seven point six receptions per game to opposing running backs. That is the most in the NFL. So I think all three of these guys are in play. If I had to rank them, I would still put it Jonathan Williams first, put nihem Heinz second, and I would put it Jordan Wilkins third, just because we don't know what's going to

happen with Jordan will opportunities this year. I know last year he didn't like this year, he's he's looked pretty good, but he never looked as good as Jonathan Williams did last week. No hundred and forty seven total yards. I mean, that's a really good game against a you know a Jaguars defense that has struggled against the run at times

this year. But yeah, this is a messy situation. Look, if we're talking about running backs, you know we're gonna get it to bow Scarborough obviously because he's awesome and he also has an awesome name. But I think you know, if you need a running back, I think both Scarboro is probably the number one waiver wire add this week.

But if we're just talking about the Colts, I'm gonna rank it Williams, Hines and Jordan Wilkins for me, but especially if you're in PPR leagues, you know you might even want to put Niheam Hines at the top of that list because that is the way to attack this Texans. Like I said in a game that I expect to me be a bit more back and forth. I think you're gonna see a lot of Niheme Hines out there. I agree with you, probably um on the order. For me,

Jonathan Williams proved too much. But the reason I don't have as my top back off the board this week, and I'm gonna go with boscarbro we were talking about after the break, because it doesn't seem like it's it's bow right, Like, what was the guy at fourteen carries? We've never been burned by Lions running backs before at fourteen carries Jeff Justrisco had like eight himself, and after that leaves JD because he had three. Like that's a

pretty large discrepancy here with the Colts. There's a lot of names that have had success in the past. As much as we like we wanted to rely on Ti Johnson and j dmcisic that really had success in the past running the football. We have seen the Colts um utilize a committee before, and at least there's some information there before we hit the break rank. How would you spending on these guys Colts guys, I'm not gonna spend a ton because I do think that Marlon Max probably

gonna be back sooner rather than later. I'm probably looking at under ten percent of my fab budget for all of these guys. But if you still have money left, you might as well spend it. You were coming up on the fantasy football playoffs, now great? If not now, when we take a break here, we'll come back and we'll get to know boo ast. NFL season is now upon us, and you can be going the eighth person away one million dollars in a fandueler Draft Kings tournament.

everybody now. Yeah. So I saw a conversation between a fantasy enthusiast and a cold to beat writer and they asked, you know, how they think the breakdown of this Colts backfield would look on Thursday night if Jordan Wilkins is active, and said person had this to say, fifty percent of the workload for Jordan Wilkins, twenty five percent for Jonathan Williams for nine Hinds. Of course that is just an

educated guess. Nobody knows for sure, but I my my thinking is, look, Jordan Wilkins has been around the team the most all season long. He was inactive last week, But if he's good to go on Thursday night football, that they might lean on him a little bit more. I don't think anybody knows for sure, but for what it's worth, that's what this Colt speed writer had to say.

So a k A disaster in Indianapolis. Yeah, and going up against the Houston Texans who for most of the season, we're really good against the run, and then they ran into the Baltimore Ravens who rush for six yards. Really good at running, Yes they are. Let me move on to a team that hasn't really been really good at running, but now they believe it's the Detroit Lions. End bow Scarborough.

He is my number one out of the waiver wire this week, and he's the guy that I think as you look down your weird as you look down the other teams in your league and how much money they have, like I probably want to go out there and spend it on and I get I get it. Over the last three weeks, we've done this a lot and it has yet to work out Ryan Hill last week, by Johnson, a couple of weeks before that, Jayleen Samuel's. It hasn't worked out yet, Frank, for those who have emptied the

bag on the next best thing? Will that change with both Scarbro to an extent because he isn't like these other running backs that they've tried to use so far, in Ti Johnson and j. D. McKissick. Those are more of pass catching running backs, third down backs, satellite backs, whatever you want to call them, they are not early down running backs that they can rely on between the tackles, and I think both scarbro is somebody that can actually do that, Greg, and he proved that this week fourteen

carries for fifty five yards and a touchdown. He played forty nine percent of the snaps as well, that led all Lions running backs. This is a big man. This is a mammoth human being six ft one two and thirty five pounds, and he has susceptive speed. Greg. He actually reminds me a lot of Derrick Henry. Right, He's not Derrick Henry. Not a lot of people are. Derrick Henry's built like a linebacker, yet he moves like a

running back. He has that breakaway ability. But according to player Profile or bow, Scarborough coming out of Alabama ranked ninety one percentile in speed score, percentile in birth score. So he is a bigger running back. He's gonna get early down work. He's not gonna catch any passes. He is going to be used inside of the red zone. He had you know, he had four red two red zone carries this past week that led all Lions running backs. He scored a touchdown from inside the five yard line

as well. So I think if you need a running back going up against the Washington Redskins this week, Greg, they have allowed the seventh most fantasy points to opposing running backs this year. He's got Chicago next week. We talked about this every single week. The Chicago defense has not been the same without a Cheam Hicks on that defensive line there nose tackle. I mean, he was pivotal in stopping the run for that team. Now teams have

been able to run on them. They've been able to score rushing touchdowns over the past month or so since he's been out. You know, the way to attack them is now on the ground. You don't want to attack their secondary. They have a strong secondary. So the next two matchups are very good for Bow Scarborough. After that, you know, we'll see what happens. It's still a volatile situation.

I understand that, but Greg, when it comes to Scarborough, all you've got to do is Bow leave, Let's go scarborro I agree, man, I think this is like I said, you look at the waiver what you look at every other team in your league in the FAB and the number one waiver claim you may have and sweet twelve and at this point, as you pushed me the playoffs, there's nothing else to wait for. I mean, this is it, right, Like there's you can't bank on anything else, You can't

potentially hope. You just believe that's all you've got to do. The other running masks worth picking up. This week, I will throw a few other names out there. These are more deeper league ads and just a reminder, please pick up your handcuffs. This doesn't make sense to me. Greg Dalvin Cook owning one of leagues as he should be, Alexander Madison owning percent of leagues. There are seventy one percent of you Dalvin Cook owners who are not playing

fantasy football the right way. And you know, I don't want to waste a roster spot on a handcuff when it's taking up you know, a wide receiver that I can pick up like Taylor Gabriel that it doesn't matter, That does not matter. Every single year there are one or two handcuffs that win people fantasy football championships. Look at last year. C J. Anderson the bowling ball c J. Anderson, Todd Gurley banged up late in the year. He's got everything going on with his knee, they pick up C. J.

Anderson off the scrap heap. The next thing you know, he's getting twenty carries a week and he is winning people fantasy football championships. This happens every single year. If you own Dalvin Cook, make sure you go out there and get Alexander Madison. Same thing for Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, Same thing with Leonard Fournette, Rich Wuell Armstead,

Chris Carson, Rashad Penny, whatever example. You need to own your running back right now, that now is the time to do it, and I will throw the name out there, Greg. Just because Jordan Howard is still dealing with the shoulder injury, the upcoming schedule for the Philadelphia Eagles running backs is a very good one. No, Miles Sanders is not out there in your leagues, but I'm pretty sure that J. G. I.

E is. So this is a end of your bench flyer. Yes, I would rather own my handcuff over j J I. E. But the schedule is very good, and if anything were to happen to Jordan Howard further, I think J J. I Would actually have a role with the team. Greg. We'll see about that. Are there any handcuffs. I think Madison is one of them that if they're out there and you don't own the starter, that you're going to pick up Because you mentioned a lot of handcuffs there, right.

We talked about Goldman, Madison and Penny and Armstead. Are there any of these guys that well that you would pick up right now even if you don't own the starter. Well, yeah, assuming I don't need like a bow Scarborough or I don't need a running back this week, because then you know, you look at Scarborough or the Lion's running backs, whatever it might be. But yeah, I think Tony Pollard. The main three to me are Alexander Madison, Tony Pollard, and

Rashad Penny. Because those teams are going to run the football. They're all part of really good offenses as well, and I think that if something were to happen to the running backs ahead of them, those guys are directly in line for fifteen plus carries greg So I think that that makes a lot of sense that for me, those are probably the top three right now. I was gonna add Kareem Hunt to that, but he's actually seventy seven percent at this point, but he's he's not just a handcuff.

I mean he has standalone value. There is a legit flex in PPR league very much. So let's move on to the wide receivers here this week, Frank, And there's just not much here quick little story. You don't I don't know how much time I want to do anyway. So we sat on the couch, uh baring Judy's line up for this week, and I like you for last week this past week? Do you want to start Randall Cob? You want to start, Philip? I want to go to

Randall com all right? You know you do you? She could have looked at my rankings and got the answer. Greg didn't because you've let her down before. I'm sorry. Sorry, Judy, Randall Cobb let her to defeat the undefeated first placed team this week. Also, she was really stoked by herself. Yeah, Randall Cobb was amazing this past week and over the

past three weeks. He's playing more seventy per cent of the snaps at least seven targets in each of the past three games during that spanning as eighteen percent of the target chair for the Dallas Cowboys. Also, during that span has fifty three point six PPR points. How about this, All three of the Dallas Cowboys wide receivers between a Marie Cooper, Michael Gallup, and Randall Cobb over the past three weeks are between fifty three and fifty six PPR points,

So they are dividing the share equally there. And we've said this over and over the past couple of years. Slot receivers are really really valuable for fantasy football because that is a position on the field that is really tough to defend. And you know, based on the way that this Cowboys offense is playing, they've got a tougher

matchup this week against the New England Patriots. I don't I don't know that you're automatically going to get Randall Cobb in your lineup, but they're still one more teams on a buy four very good teams, right the Chiefs, the Cardinals, the Chargers as well. So we need to replace these wide receivers. I think that Randall cop is a fair bi week replacement this week, and then a couple of other ones really stand out. James Washington is the one for me, because the Sailers don't have anybody left.

Jud Smith Schuster's batting a knee and dream I would be Juju or Deontae Johnson plays this because James Washingtons number one wide receiver in a vulnerable matchup against Cincinnati. Yeah, everyone wants to attack the Cincinnati Bengals on the ground with their running backs, and rightfully so. I mean, they're you know, their run defense is very bad. But according to d v o A at Football Outsiders, you know, the Cincinnati Bengals are thirty second, that is dead last

in the NFL in past defense. D v o A. I think you just you don't see as many teams attack the Bengals through the air because it's so easy to run on them. So, I mean, why would you even risk throwing the ball when you can just run all over them? And that might be the case this week with whoever the running back is. I don't know. If James Conner is gonna play, might as well bring

up you know Samuels while we're at it. You're too, Greg, I think the Jalen Samuels has owned in a lot of leagues, but if he is available in your league, I would be very surprised if James Conner also plays in this game after reinjured reaggravating that that shoulder injury. So look at Jaylen Samuel's, look at James Washington. It's a really good matching for both of those guys going

up against the Bengals. Absolutely other wide receivers that we've talked about and continue to talk about in the same game, the Giants and the Bears, Darius Lean, Taylor Gabriel too, wide receivers that you don't really want to start, but good. I'll tell the people about Taylor Gabriel and then I'll let you handle Darius Street. And as the Giant fan here, Greg, because I'm interested in your take based on Sterling Shephard returning to the practice, how things are going to break

down here for the New York Giants. But Taylor Gabriel just had fourteen targets on Sunday Ight football against the Los Angeles Rams. Mitchell Trobinsky is banged up with a hit pointer injury, and I'm not sure that that's a bad thing when it comes to Taylor Gabriel in this offense, because Kase Daniel might actually be better than Mitchell Trabisky

at this point. But over the past month, Greg, the last four games, Gabriel leads the team tent of the target share, leads them in receptions with eighteen, and also leads them in receiving yards with two and eighteen. So the h and the Giants are allowing the fourth most fantasy points to opposing wide receiver. So again, if you're desperate for a wide receiver, I think Gabriel makes a lot of sense. How do you think things play out with Darius Layton in the New York Giants? Do you

expect Sterling Shepherd back this week? I do? I mean he is. He is on the last stage of the concussion protocol. If he can get through this, he will play on Sunday. We thought he was through it before he wasn't. There's a very good chance he plays. He practiced in full yesterday, so that's the case. Darius Laton clearly takes a back Seat's the third wide receiver in this Giants offense against a bare secondary? Is he? Though? I mean he has a good rapport with Daniel Jones.

Mountless Sterling Shepherd on the field. That's alright, So you're out, You're out on slating alright. So if Sterling Shepherd plays Darius Layton, we'll tell you the defenses you need to pick up for the playoffs and streaming quarterbacks.

This is a few minutes left to go in the program today. We have as Pluto TV five seventeen. We appreciate you joining us on our debut here in Pluto, which is awesome. All right, Rank,

we wanted to do any more wide receivers. You wanted to mention before we kind of broke it down. I did want to mention Hunter renfro real quick graig going up against the Jets. You know, he's been a solid PPR option. He's a good bye re replacement as well over the past four weeks for the Raiders. He leads the team with eighteen percent of their targets share. Also leads a team in receptions with nineteen and receiving yards

with two fifty. The Jets allowed the second most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers so far to the season, and the other one or of a deeper league. Add greg Tim Patrick. We talked about him a little bit yesterday. His first game back in the lineup for the Denver Broncos, played the second most snaps among their wide receivers. He ran the second most routes as well at the position, finished with four catches for seventy seven yards. He had a high average depth of target in this game. He

saw a ton of air yards as well. He accounted for twenty percent of the target share. Tough matchup this week going up against the Buffalo Bills, but again, if you're playing those deeper leagues, you want someone who's gonna get targets and be targeted down the field. I think Tim Patrick's an interesting name. Greig alright, sim Patrick's certainly deeply, as we said yesterday, came off the I R was targeted incessantly, right, Brandon Allen and this the Denver Broncos

offense alright, let me move on to the tight end position. Frank, and we mentioned Ryan Griffin yesterday, certainly someone you could pick up. He's filling this Chris Herndon role and he's doing very, very admirably. I wrote up Ben Watson as somebody because the New England Patriots offense doesn't have enough. Neither of those two tight ends are your top tight end target this week? Because so that's who I'm looking at.

Jacob Hollister. I think a lot of people dropped him because of the bye week, or at least based on his Yahoo ownership percentage, just was never picked up because he should be owned in more than thirty four percent of leads. You look at what he's done over the past two weeks. He has three touchdowns scored over the seahawks last two games. He has at least six targets in three of the last four games. He's starting to take over that role that Will Dislely had as the

pass catching tight end. You know, from weeks seven through ten for the Seahawks, he's playing of this next eighteen percent of their target share. He has seven red zone targets during that span, so he's being targeted in you know, the part of the field that we want tight ends targeted because when we stream a tight end, we're trying to score a touchdown. That's what Jacob Hollister has been doing. Greg he should be owned in more than thirty four percent of leaks. And then on the other side of

that game, Dallas Goddard. You know, the Philadelphia Eagles don't have a lot of pass catchers. Right now, they're saying Alston Jeffrey should be able to return this week. I'll believe it when I see it. But Deshan Jackson obviously has landed on I R and the tight ends have had the strap step up here. It's zach Ertz. It's Dallas got got It ran a season high forty routes this past week in Week eleven against the Newland Patriots. The targets have been up for him and another one

was being targeted in the red zone. And he's scoring touchdowns. Greag he has a touchdown in three of his last four games. So for me, like Hollister, I like Gottart, and as you mentioned, I like Ryan Griffin as well. I think all those guys, certainly on the streaming radar. I've been somebody that has started Jack Doyle the last couple of weeks. He was not targeted this past Sunday. Donuts all across the board. Greg, We'll go back to the waiver wire as I pick out one of these

four guys. Uh like no a fan at No A fan at Buffalo. I don't so for me. I think Ryan Griffin is probably my favorite one against Oakland. I told you that. After that, I'll put Jacob Hollister in there. Dallas Goddard and Dallas Gotti in Seattle is a good one too. Um So we'll say, um leave one of the quarterbacks. Will stream quarterbacks this week on the fan to will hurry up. Yesterday you're talking about how Sam Donald going back to the Jets, Well, how's that one

of the hottest teams in football right now? How about that j E t s two game winning streak will likely come to a halt in Week twelve against the Oakland Raiders, But regardless, it's still a good matchup for Sam Donald coming off the first four touchdown game of his career, back to back games where he's played pretty well. It should be three games in a row. If you remember that game against Miami he threw a touchdown to

Ryan Griffin. It got overturned the very next play Sam Donald threw an interception, so that would have been three straight games with at least two total touchdown scored for Donald, and Oakland has allowed the fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks so far this season. They've allowed twenty four touchdown passes through the air. That is the third most in the NFL. So I do like Sam Donald, just check

to see if he's available. I like Baker Mayfield as well, going up against the Miami Dolphins back to back games with multiple touchdown passes for Baker, and Miami just allowed Josh Allen to throw for three touchdowns, rush for an additional touchdown, and finish the QB one. Overall, this Dolphins defense, obviously, as you know you've been watching football this season long, not a good one. Just the last name to mention, Greg I think Jacoby Brisset going up against the Houston Texans.

No Marlon Mack, they might lean to on the past a little bit more, and the last time he faced him, he threw for over three hundred yards and four touchdowns, So I think Jacoby Brissette makes a lot of sense as well. For me, Baker, Sam Donald, Jacoby Brissett. That's how I would rank these streaming quarterbacks this week. Yeah, I think that makes sense. I'm I'm cool with that. Judy, you go back to her team. She got Baker Mayfield last week because she couldn't deal with it anymore. So

she looks she started Nick Foles last week? Right? Can I interest you in a little Ryan Tannehill as well? I have an eye on the fantasy playoffs here, so I don't think you need to do the Ryan Tannehill when it comes to Ryan Tannehill. How about this? Greg we four fourteen through sixteen faces the Raiders, the Texans, and the Saints. Don't love the Saints matchup, but in weeks fourteen and fifteen, the Raiders and Texans. We just spoke about Donald and Jacoby Brissett as streamers because they

were going up against the Raiders and Texans. Ryan tad Hill has been very concerton as the starter of the Titans so far, at least from a fantasy perspective, is at least nineteen fantasy points in all four games. Yeah, I'm fine. I just think the odds are you'll probably find something better. Well, I'll throw this at you to be fair. Sure you're Josh Allen owner. You've started him. He's been great, but his schedule is brutal. Right, his

schedule is terrible coming up? Would you Ryan start? Rather start Ryan Tannehill or go with Josh Allen. Well, let's pull up those matchups so we see specifically what we're looking at here. So for Josh Allen in weeks fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, oh my goodness, brutal. I mean from weeks twelve through sixteen. I told you it's brutal. Josh Allen coming up twelve through sixteen, Denver at Dallas, Verse Baltimore

at Pittsburgh at New England. Greg's Greg in week fourteen and fifteen, I will start Ryan Tannehill over Josh Allen. There you go. Would you start Jeff DRIs School. I don't think I could go that far. Jeff DRIs School is playing well. If he's out there in your two quarterback leagues or super flex leagues, he probably has already owned. But I just throw the name out there. He's played

well over the past two weeks. Billion for Stafford Washington, just a out Sam Donalds to throw for four touchdowns. So Friskill likely employ as a deeper stream this week. Let's let's call him that. Let me move on to the streaming defenses for this week, Frank, and then I want to go even going to take a step further. Uh. This week we talked about yesterday and rightfully so, the Atlanta defense should be streamed and picked up. They've been fantastic coming out of the bye and they face the

interception machine known as Jamis Winston. It's a no brainer to pick up the Atlanta defense and stream them this week. I think it's an easy one. I think Cleveland against Miami's an easy one. Um and then destroy versus Washington not as easy, but Haskins things, so sure. Yeah. Again, if you have fab left and you want to be aggressive on defenses from here on out, I mean, Atlanta

is the defense that's target Greg. You mentioned the interception machine, and the first thing that popped into my head was just like a jug machine throwing balls at defenders. That's basically what Jamis Winston is. At this point. Atlanta decimated Kyle Allen last week, sacked him four or five times, had four interceptions as well. So whatever they did in the bye week is work. This Atlanta Falcons defense is playing really well. Cleveland might already be owned in your league,

but obviously good match up against Miami and Dwayne Haskins. Man, it just doesn't look like he's ready to be a starting quarterback at the NFL level. He's really learning on the job. He's taking a lot of sacks, He's throwing a few interceptions per game. The Detroit Lions defense is not a good one. In fact, they're actually one of only three defenses allowing over four hundred totally yards per game this season. But I'm not sure Dwayne Haskins is

going to be able to take advantage. So I think the Lions make sense of the stream this week as well. All Right, so that's this week, but people are looking toward the playoffs as well. We talked a little bit earlier on picking up your handcuff and being smart and not getting caught. Well, the same here goes for defense, right, Like, you might have a defense for this week that's that's

really good. But my devents that I've been using them for months now, Buffalo Bills and then their schedules been cake, right, you just read the schedule. When it comes to Josh Allen so Denver. This week, I'll continue to use Buffalo. They've they've been fine. I don't I don't mind that matchup, and you're in Dallas in Baltimore, I don't mind them for the Pittsburgh and New England games, and those are those are the money weeks, right, so those are the

fantasy semifinals and the fantasy Yeah. I mean, look, if you can afford to hold on to them, obviously, I don't want to use them against Baltimore because you know, Lamar Jackson's just tearing everybody up right now. And same thing with Dallas. Like I think Dallas's offense is very good. But when we get to week fifteen against Mason Rudolph, Wow, Like I'm not worried about Mason Rudolph. And then the

Patriots offense is not a good one, Greg. So you know Tom Brady, uh, you could get after him right now. He's you know, rowing the ball a tons So there's a lot of dropbacks there. They can't run the ball effectively. So in weeks fifteen and sixteen, I'll still feel pretty good at about the Bill's defense. Okay, what the other defenses that are out there that you'll if you have

the room, you'll pick them up and use over the playoffs. Yeah, so I know that there are a few high stakes leagues that don't allow you to make pickups once you get into the fantasy playoffs. So you have to look ahead now, So you have to look at weeks you know, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, and two teams that stand out to me, Greg. You know, there's no team that's a consensus that has three really good matchups in a row. But I'll give you the Lions who we like this week, so you

could just hold onto them if you want. In week fifteen, they're going up against the interception machine known as Jameis Winston. Week sixteen, they're going up against Brandon Allen and the Broncos offense for the Green Bay Packers, Greg. In week fourteen they go up against Dayne Haskins and Washington. In week fifteen they go up against Chicago, whoever the quarterback is Trabiski or Chase Daniel. That offense has not been a good one. But then in week sixteen they face

up against the face off against the Vikings. So you know you can mix and match a little bit there. I like the Lions in week fifteen and sixteen, and then I like the Packers in week fourteen and fifteen. Again, I don't really like that matchup much against this Vikings offense. They have been a very very good one so far this year. Fair enough, Now we have a couple of minutes left and I want to use this time. I'm talking about players to drop, and we need a much

of players to pick up for this week. And you've spent a lot of money on guys. But for instance, you mentioned James Washington. It right, well, we like both like James Washington. One of the reasons is ju Juice Schuster is hurt you dropped you Juice Smith Schuster. Ah man, It's it's so tough, right because it's a similar situation

to Terry McLain. We know how talented you do Smith Schuster is, but his upside is so capped because of the play of Mason Rudolph to me that that move doesn't really make a lot of sense, like if you were doing it for James Washington. It's look, I know that James Washington is not a more talented player than do do jud You probably not going to play this week, but likely back after that. I don't think that I

can drop. Look, if you need a running back this week and and he's the worst player on your team, then for both Scarbro. Sure, But if we're just talking about do do for James Washington, I'd rather just hold you do at that point. So here's my thing, Fine, do you do for James Washington? Fine? Mason Rudolf started for the Steelers back in week three. Since week three, how many times do you think Jujuicemith Schuster has had more than six for PPR points sex? How many weeks

has that been? Uh? Since week three? So three, four or five? Six? They're on the buy in seven, eight, eight weeks over six half point PPR, I will say three. Yeah, he's been very boomer Buss. He's had three really good weeks and I'm saying the rest were just bad. And he left last week. So but whatever you need to have it, Like I'm saying six points not noble digits. He's been bad. I mean there's no one of those

three he's been bad. There's no way around it. Look, if you're playing a ten team league, sure you can drop. Like what if you don't when your team league? You want most Scarboro look, if you don't know he talked about used to be the worst. Is the worst player on your team, then yes, you can drop him and there might be might be a situation where that is the case. But it's not just bo right, like is

these handcuffs talking about Madison. If he is the worst player on your team, you can drop him, and there might be a team out there where he is the worst player. It wouldn't surprise me it well, actually maybe it would because people use their first or second round pick, Like, you're surely ours and the team that we played together, would you drop would you rather drop Judice the Schuster, Zach Pascal both? I think you drop both? T Hy Hilton might play this week good absolutely could for sure.

Um So I think Jujie I thought Juju is a really interesting one. Um I think you go you look at people for the bye, Like Mike Williams has two catches or less in every game over the last six weeks. Can you drop Mike Williams is a bye? Yeah? I feel a little bit better about him than Juju, just because you know he is still seeing a lot of deep targets. He hasn't been able to do anything he

hasn't scored a touchdown. But again, if he's the worst player in your team, I don't have a problem these you know at this point, Greg, strip the name off the back of the jersey. Mike Williams and Juju very talented players. They're not putting up Fantasy points right now. So again, if they're the worst player on your team, then you can drop these guys. I'll throw out a

name at you, Greg, Brian Hill. And I'm going to say, do not drop Brian Hill because he's still played a ton of snaps last week, sound carries touching us called back, got called back. DeVonta Freeman even if he returns, could easily get hurt again too and be shot. Not dropping Brian Hill, I agree he is Frank Stample. I am Greg Susman. Thank you so much for checking us out, especially if you're watching us on Pluto. We'll be back tomorrow.

Sign him now for the NFL Access with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections, and better results into promo code action for a ten ver cent discount. Is that's promo code action? What did

app What did happen? Here's what you missed on the bf APS. So going into his last drive, it aust Eckler does nothing in the second half, right, nothing, absolutely nothing. So going into that last drive, I'm up four points at that moment, and I'm like, oh my god. Basically he needs to touch that in order to beat me, is what I'm thinking. Okay, fine, and they just I want to just run the clock out tick tack tick tick dick. Of course, on a third down he rushes

for sixteen yards. I'm like, oh my god, oh Greggy. So now I am up one point nine points and it's third down and he gets sacked or stacked first or whatever. They don't complete it. All right, I'm up one point nine points. Let's go figuring we'll get the Eckler dump boss on this last drive. So now all I want, I don't care what the Eckler dump bops, be honest. The game is the Chiefs get the ball back meals big bang boom, tick tick tick tick the deck dick. So then of course you get the long

heave down the field. Complete. Didn't a freaking the only past Philpver was completed all night. They say he was out of back. He wasn't. The clock stops, no deck, I just stopped. And I saw betting Twitter go nuts over this, and rightfully, so the clock stopped. You shouldn't have stopped. He shouldn't have. So Eckler catches the pass. Fine, I'm still up. Let's say around four now, and I'm just like, he's gonna happen. You know what's gonna happen.

George are gonna score a touchdown, They're gonna tie the game. Homes go win the game. This is it. This is how I lose. And then Philip Rivers throws the interception? Why because he always does? Why because he is a loser, always has been a loser. In fact, a little harsh. What does he want in his career? Nothing, that's the correct answer. Maybe some fantasy championships. You know, he is the third most wins all time. You've never even reach

the Super Bowl. Fran targeting Dannon, Marie don't have more they reached Super Bowls Lipser, sure, yeah, and he does what he always does. Hey lost, which caused me so win. So I went to sleep feeling great and yet could really sleep very well. I don't know why. I feel it awesome. This is not the turn that I thought this story was gone. I won based on your tone the entire time. Like well, Greg lost for sure, Patrick Mahomes carre high fifty nine rushing guard. All right, so

congrats Greg Man. So why why didn't you Why didn't you sleep well? I don't know. Alright, that was at least you won. I did. I felt great. Maybe you were so pumped about the wind you just can't sleep. You know what, I was falling asleep. It's my own fault. I was falling asleep and then like I thought, it was a ridiculous thing. But my dry cleaning. I want to make sure I had I dry cleaning because I gotta wear sports cook tomorrow. As you know, we have to wear sports. I am one of those weeks, so

I have to wear one or bring one. I'm gonna wear it all day, but I have to bring one. So I was like, hey, Judy the dry cleaning here, and then she's like yeah, and then we were I was awake because like my I was thinking and I was like that was it. Like I could go back to sleep. Then to my story
