Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. It is me Joey p Joe Piezapia and finally we did it. We're here. It's Thanksgiving and that means only one thing. It's stuffing in cuff and season. That's right, baby. Pat fitz Morris, Deebro, Derek Bround, and the King of Bros. Are here to help you get all of the bench depth you need. Not just for Week fourteen, by apocalypse coming up, we're trying to get ahead of that,
but we're also looking ahead to the fantasy playoffs. Make sure we have insurance policies all set up. And it was a very wacky and wild Sunday of football. The only thing more special than the special teams in the Washington Cowboys game was probably the Saquon Barkley performance. Pat fitz Morris, you know MVP always goes to a quarterback.
I'm sick and tired of it. You know. The good story here is Saquon Barkley getting a new lease on life and taking this Philadelphia Eagles team out of the doldrums and disappointments of last year and making them a nine and two Juggernaut right now, can we please start talking about Saquon Barkley is MVP. I know he's not gonna win, but I just want to talk about it.
Well, Joe, you're not the only one who's got a Saquon MVP award on your mind, because the odds for Saquon to win the MVP have shrunken, shrunk, shrunken, shrunk, dramatic.
You're the guy who writes around here, you tell me overnight.
Yeah, I think they have dropped from like something like plus six thousand and plus six hundred, so people are seriously considering him as a candidate, and with good reason. I mean, what an emphatic performance against the Rams yesterday.
And by the way, Joe, yes, there was at least one team with Saquon that is going to lose in Fantasy Yes, right here, and they got it nice who everyone else with an absolute uh dud of a game except for Saquon, which probably prevented me from from some sort of record low performance in that league.
Yeah, some crazy performance. He got Taysom Hills crazy week, right, and then Saquon Barkley after this week early incredible stuff. De bro. This is also at the time of year two where everybode gets busy and they forget. They're like, oh yeah, there's three games on Thanksgiving and everyone's just caught up in the holidays. So it's like a friendly reminder a PSA and everybody too. Make sure you get
your waiver claims in. Make sure you get all your lineup situated right, because this is a very important time. You might be able to pick up a victory here week thirteen and stay relevant. Who knows what happens week fourteen, with so many teams to buy, like, this is actually a crucial week to you staying alive and in the playoff hunt.

This is pretty hilarious right there. I would I would put it over somebody's neck and make him take a picture of it. At next year's draft. That's what you do, all right. Normally we start the show off with the
waiver wire out of the week. However, there isn't one that just isn't There isn't somebody that just stands out and saying, okay, this is the clear cut number one guy or you know, the guy in every league that you know you should probably be aggressive on. It just doesn't happen. So instead we're can talk about two running back situations. The first is a mir Abdulla who is
thirty one percent rostered. Here, Zamir White was not playing, Madison was not playing, Gardner Minshew's not gonna be playing the rest of the season, so they're gonna be running football. So a mir Abdullah thirty one percent rostered on sleep sleeper leagues, excuse me, still readily available in seventy percent of leagues. And then the Washington Commander has had a lot of issues at Brian Robinson got hurt early in that game. He did walk off on his on accord,
but again we're waiting for more information on that. And then at the very end of the game you had the Austin Eckler concussions. So Jeremy McNichols, who is one percent rostered right now? Somebody's got him. It's probably Pat pat On the start with you on these two running backs because this is probably your short term streaming running back situation. I know everybody's playing this week, so that's
less of an issue. But at the same time, both of the scenarios we've laid out here for some of the running backs ahead of these guys could be more long term situations. So McNichols, Abdullah, how do you rank them, how do you approach them? What's your take on them for Week thirteen?
Yeah, So with Abdullah, the Raiders play the Chiefs this week. I kind of suspect we're not going to see either Alexander Madison or Zamir White again this week. And we only got like a little cameo appearance from Sincere McCormick as the complimentary back to a Mirabdullah for the Raiders yesterday, so we know it's really hard to run against the Chiefs.
So not a great matchup. And I'm probably when I do rankings today, I imagine I will have a Mira Abdulla in like mid range RB two territory somewhere around RB thirty or thirty one, something like that. But Abdullah is a pass catching back, so he does have more than one path to a decent fantasy performance him versus McNichols. I guess kind of depends on the status of Brian Robinson. We can be pretty sure we're not going to see Austin Eckler after the hit he took in the concussion
he sustained this week. More of a question with Brian Robinson and man, when I saw what that injury look like, Joe, I've got a lot of Brian Robinson teams. I was making plans like, uh, oh, what am I going to do a running back without him? I was like delighted to hear that he was back in the game because I thought maybe his season was over when I saw.
Him come back there, but then was very limited there, So.
Yeah, he was So wouldn't surprise me if he missed a week. If he does, we know that Washington will have Chris Rodriguez active regardless of Brian Robinson's status. He will be the third running back. But clearly Jeremy McNichols is ahead of Chris Rodriguez on the Commander's step chart, So yeah, McNichols is going to get some work this week. Then again, not a great matchup for him either against the Titans who just held Joe Mix into twenty two
rushing yards on fourteen carries. All right, so not great matchups for either guy. I think they're playable if you're in a pinch.
Yeah.
Whether I would take McNichols over a mere Abdullah really depends on Robinson. If he's playing, I would rather have Abdullah. If Robinson is out, I think I'd rather have McNichols. Yeah.
I think a lot of this too is looking ahead more too and how how long? So these guys might be missing some time. But debrolso known as insincere McCormick around these parts, de bro, could you tell me your take on these two guys too. I know Pat was bringing up obviously that you know, just because they're getting playing time doesn't necessarily mean that they're getting more, uh,
you know, better matchups here. They're worth playing, but we do have to be aware of the presence and potentially them playing beyond just week thirteen, based upon some of the injuries that are going on here.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, these guys are the Spider man gift Man, like we've commun's done to talk about, like the fact that a mirab Doula is Jeremy McNichols and Jeremy McNichols is a mirrorb Doulah, Like both these guys are going to be work horses considering the injuries to the depth chart around them.
And I know that looking at a mirror of Doulah, Like.
Okay, the thirteen touches, seventy total yards, that's okay. The touchdown really saved him yesterday, but I don't want it to get lost in the sauce. He played ninety percent of the snaps. He was the clear bell cow. So like that type of workload. We always say volume is king and fantasy that's going to propel him through bad matchups as long as he has the start's chair.
And so him and McNichols.
Neither one of these guys have good matchups this week, even if you want to project it out, say Austin Eckwerk, because this is what is second concussion of the year. Guys, like what if he misses multiple weeks, So that's the case. I actually prefer if you're looking at not just this week, but like more of a two to three week span. Actually prefer McNichols over Abdulah because of that, because after Tennessee they do get the Saints, and we know that you can run on the Saints.
Yeah, it's funny. I actually it's funny. We have like opposite takes on this. I look ahead and I see Tennessee for Washington coming up, and then the bye week, and then you're in the playoffs already. So although like New Orleans is, you know, floating around there for Washington, McNichols is the guy that I'm just kind of like, all right, you know, like I just don't know how useful he's going to be to chase him in that
one week scenario. I mean, look, some teams have that scenario right now where they are in bad spot and you have to make sure you get Way's running backs. But there's also a bunch of running I want to get to that people still have yet to push enough onto their rosters, and as I alluded to at the top of the show, these are the guys we want to talk about before we do. NFL season continues to roll along and the contenders are separating from the pack.

Let's crown some of these guys again, all of them here backup running backs, all of them under fifty percent rostered right now on Sleeper and on Yahoo as well. So Zach Sharbonai forty eight percent, just gonna run down tank Bigsby forty four percent, Taja Spears again still injury
issues with him forty three. Tyler Algiers dropped down to thirty nine percent, probably because of this past week having to be the bye Roshawn Johnson thirty eight percent, Trey Benson thirty five, Gus Edwards twenty eight, Blake Korum twenty one, and Ray Davis twenty one. Debro. This is the list of guys here again from Charbay all the way. Davis, we just went through them. In your opinion, give me the one or two that you think have the best
opportunity to really be Fantasy relevant in the playoffs. Should tragedy befall the guy in front of them in terms of injury, they would be thrust into that role and would actually excel and help you win that championship.
I think it's a three pack of guys for me, and the order is Tyler Alzier, Trey Benson, and Zach Sharbona. And looking at all three of those guys situations and if anything happens to the starter, I don't think we have any questions about all three of those guys probably being the bell cow workload. Maybe a few questions in Arizona.
So those are the three guys that I'm looking at this entire group that I would be looking to roster, with Tyler Azier being the one just because look, I know Bejeon has been a bell cow, but if anything were to happen to him, nobody's taking any work from Tyler Algier away. And for deeper leagues, there's only one other guy that I want to bring up here, Joey for deep leagues if he's out there, because we saw the Buccaneers backfield this last week, Sean Tucker had a
very prominent role. If he's out there, like in a fourteen teamer, I'd like to throw him on into this list too.
I hate doing this, but I agree with deebro Pat. Are those the same three guys for you?
It is Benson l Year in Charbonnay. Yeah, those are the three guys I kind of drilled down on two and obviously, like if Kyron Williams got hurt in week thirteen, Blake Korum heads to the front of the last any of these guys really in an injury, But like, those are the guys who would clearly be extremely valuable if anything happened to the starter.
All right, who would be the number one on your list? I mean Debro was talking about au Jier. I kind of find the same way because I've seen it before with this team. I've seen it with you know, this offensive line. You've seen it in season him have some really successful games when he's been given cares.
Yeah, I think Algier is probably the guy who makes the most sense. We know he's got run, catch versatility. I'm intrigued by Benson just because the Cardinals have been pretty run heavy this year, and like Connors, Benson has
come on. At first, it seemed like he wasn't even number two early in the season when they were playing a Mari de Mercato ahead of him, But it seems like he has gained favor with that organization in recent weeks and now looks like a pretty appealing and sort of a most handcuff if you have James Connor, who's had injury issues in the past.
It's funny too because out Jeer, because of this week's by people probably have to like make card decisions. You know, I need more streamers, any guys to play this week because of the byes, and out here got dropped in a lot of leagues this week. I'm looking at the data right now, so he's available right now. It's sixty percent of league. So picture you add him again just for insurance policy. And if you have Bijeon, you definitely
need to outgear for sure. One guy I want to talk about because the Denver Broncos backfield is constantly in flux Javonte Williams. I know we want all the running backs we have. I think I'm not asking this question because I think necessarily the answer is yes. But I think it's a question a lot of fantasy managers are asking themselves, So I want to hear your take on it. Pat should people be dropping Javonte Williams.
It kind of depends on the texture of the league. Like I know, Debra wants to say an unconditional yes, but we are not.
It can't stop him from nodding. He's like that kid would have been told, you know, you can't answer the question until the question has been asked, and he's just like right now raising his hands saying ooh, ooh, ooh, over and over again.
Here's the thing. We were pretty close to dropping Javante like a month or more ago, and he sort of roared back to life. I think it was that game against the Saints that sort of reinvigorated his fantasy value. It so I wouldn't rule out a revival. It's just
really hard to parse this backfield right now. If you have to, you have to, But like I'm not, I'm not rushing out to Spike drop him if I don't have a better move to make, And as thin as waivers are this week, Joe, I don't know if there's a better move to make.
Okay, Debro, I'm fascinated to hear your your thoughts because I really don't know which way you're gonna go.
I think you drop him in this The question is simple for me, Guys, when would you ever feel good about putting Javonte Williams in your lineup at this point of the season.
Never like legit, never like could he pay off as a dice roll? Sure is?
He more likely probably going to face plant and hurt your team. More likely in these weeks when we're trying to make the playoffs or you're in the playoffs upcoming weeks, I would have no faith in playing Javonte Williams. So give me a name, like I'll drop Javonte Williams for one of the names off the handcuff list, like I would rather, you know, pay for the lottery ticket as opposed to being like, well, I got this other guy on my roster and he's basically just holding up a
spot and I don't want to play him. I probably if I do play him, it's just gonna blow up in my face. So to me, why keep a guy like that on your roster, Like I will, I will pick a flexwirey wide receiver to roster at the end of my bench over Javonte Williams or one of these high in handcuffs.
All right, So there you go, Javonte Williams could be dropped in your league. You're allowed, according to Derek Brown. So there you go. You got it right there, You get the stamp right on that transaction. All right? Before we get to the wide receivers. You know, it is gift giving season. Everybody and a great you know, get tired of getting people the same things. How many you know, cheese boards you're gonna buy somebody? How many you know blankets?
Get you buy somebody? All these things? Give something different this year? How about the gift of an experience.

The best way to do that, of course, we all know, is through the Game Time app. So if you haven't already, download the game Time app and start thinking outside the box here and give tickets away to someone's favorite team.
I'm sure there's a lot of Giants and Jets tickets available. You know, you could go out and get a bunch of them right now, everybody and get well, maybe if you don't like somebody, that's the equivalent of coal is giving them Jets tickets perhaps or Giants tickets. I don't know it's possible, but no matter what the event is, game Time has got you covered. So they're the best way to get the best deals. You can see your seats.
The curated deals are made easier to find. You get the best price of the best tickets, none of those nonsense fees.

Do you think like giving your kids clothes is probably the equivalent of giving them giants or Jets tickets right now, they'd rather have the socks, like the same reaction, you know what I mean? Like yeah, like, like.
The socks will keep you warm in the winter, the jets will not. The Jets will leave you cold and outside and freezing. Just misery. All right, let's get to the wide receivers because we got a lot of guys to get through on this list too. I'm gonna do it because it's your week. So I keep saying, every week scores a touchdown, why aren't we adding Nick Westbrookakinie, Well,
everybody agrees with you. Twenty one percent roster. But I had to add him in the league because I was a little desperate, and I did, and I'm glad I did because again he had another touchdown. I had to play in the situation I was in, So I know we're threading the needle every single week with I get it and the other guy, which we did talk about yesterday, or should I say last week? Pardon me, Devon Veley thirteen percent roster now deebro Veley to me, I think
is a little bit more intriguing. The Denver Broncos are playoff team. Period. I was telling everybody on Sunday bet the yes to make the playoffs because minus one twenty in a lot of spots is probably given me the best number you're gonna find on them. And guess what, it's gone. It's gone, just like in South Park, gonna say and it's gone. Same thing. So these two guys. I know you're gonna tell me the same thing about Nwi. That's fine, I'm nw I. I love that you've gone
with THEW. I like, I love that you made. I love that for you. But look, do I get it. It's it's it's the thread in the needle. But you know what, man, he's sewing up touchdowns every week. Boom metaphor me give me your take on these two guys.
Nwi dude, six touchdowns in his last seven games.
Come on, bro, he's only gold.
He is eclipsed fifty or excuse me, fifty five receiving yards once in that time.
Yes, he is threatening the needle. He is the needle. He's like, here's Carter. He just catches touchdowns, baby, that's what he does. Mean at this point, sure ride the lightning. Like I don't know what to tell people, Like, I mean.
I don't he keep It's one of those things like he can't keep possibly doing this right, and then he keeps doing it. Like I don't know what else to say at this point, because I keep poo pooing and I'm like, he keeps scoring touchdowns.
And I can't see Joey. But on the point he gets Washington, Jacksonville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Jacksonville for this couple game. Pat, I mean talking about riding the lightning. I mean, this is like a lightning thief right here.
So yeah, I think you just hit on the key thing Joe that he has a week fourteen matchup with the Jaguars in a sixteen bye week. So yeah, I mean like it would be irresponsible of us, I think to tell you, like to eagerly go and pick up Nick Westbrook Akina because Joe he scored a touchdown on twenty percent of his targets. Yeah, targets number God is, he has thirty targets in the season and six touchdowns.
So it's absurd. I get it. I get it.
I mean the thing is, like we everything says that he should, that this is not sustainable what he's doing, and yet he is sustained for almost two months. So but if you pick him up, you're you're picking him up targeting that Jacksonville game in Week fourteen when they're six teams one buy, and if you're going to lose like more than one wide receiver and you're starting lineup, it could actually be a sensible move. I like Vley too.
I mean he's interesting. It's been kind of a mishmash in their wide receiver corps behind Courtland Sutton all year, like a little some some little Jordan Humphrey, some Troy Franklin, some Marvin Mims. But like Vley, seems like he's stepped up. He was second behind Sutton in snaps, routes, run tar gets yesterday. You know, seventh round rookie six ' five. I know he only has one touchdown right now, but at six ' five, he's got to be a pretty
inviting end zone target. And on my to do list for today, Joe, I have to look up why Devon Valley is about to turn twenty seven and was in this year's NFL Drift. He turns twenty seven on December twelfth. I have to go find out why that is.
Oh, I'm sensing like an unsolved mysteries episode of Fantasy Pros with the trench coat outside of an alley.
I noticed like midnight last night, and I'm like, Okay, I'm going to dig into this tomorrow.
But yeah, seriously, I also love ironic nicknames like little Jordan Humphrey, who's six four to twenty five, Like, where's where's big Jordan Humphrey? If that's little Jordan Humphrey, that's what I want to know, all right, Panthers wide receivers. So the Panthers took the Chiefs of their limit and then won two of their previous three games, So they're playing better football. I mean there's Is it great? No? Is it improved? Yes? The bar, however, was very low.
Davier Leget forty eight percent rostered, Adam Thielen forty four percent roster, so that jumped up quite a bit. Pat any love for either of these Panthers guys. You could throw Cocer in this mix too. Again, just want to rehash all of that. I know we've talked about the guys a lot, but now Feelin's in this mix too. So what you saw yesterday, how does that hash out with what the wide receiver group looks like rest of season? Yeah?
So I'm not gonna throw Cocher in this mix. Because they deactivated Cocher ahead of Feelings return, which is as interesting and as promising as Cocher was, they cleared the decks for Adam Thielin to come back and be he he was also hurt.
He had a quad injury in later the week.
So okay, so yeah, I mean that was yeah, I didn't realize like he was on the possibly on the wrong side questionable. So you know, I mean theling he's thirty four, but we should probably remember that going into Thanksgiving Week a year ago, Adam Thlen was wide receiver ten and PPR scoring, and he was averaging seven point six catches a game at this time a year ago. So he is obviously like a security blanket for Bryce Young and maybe he could be that again down the stretch.
And he gets the Buccaneers this week, which is a pretty good matchup for wide receivers. So I like him, I think, just a little more than Xavier Leaguette, who's really interesting, I mean, an athletic marvel and a guy I'm going to be interested in drafting next year. But you know, like had a decent game against the Chiefs, who are tough on outside receivers. Uh so you said at least three catches in four straight games. So in
deep leagues, maybe he's playable this week. But I'm a little more interested in feeling.
Well, you know, whenever the players, you know, the teams are eliminated for the playoffs, they'll get certain players on commentary of the desks and things like that. I want Jameis Winston and Xavier Leaguette together breaking down games. That's all I want this year. I'd love to hear those two guys talking about the games. I think it would just be incredibly entertaining.
If you don't get enough Southern drawl here, I don't know because I'm too rock and roll. B let's get your take here on these Carolina Panthers guys too, real quick? Do you think, coker Man, you know when healthy gets back in this mixt or you think, now Feeling's back, we're gonna play theling let him kind of?
Maybe? I mean, this could be the end of Fland's career too. This could be the hey go out there, And I get that from an organization standpoint too. He had a really good year for you last year. He's probably a guy that's very beloved in the NFL period by his teammates. I could see that being the case and just kind of running it out there for him.
Yeah, I mean I think that this this wide receiver room kind of dissolves into being a mess. I don't think so Jalen Coker popped up with the quad injury on Friday, so I don't think he plays this week. So I think he's going to be out at least another week. I'm considering the late week ad, So I think this is gonna be theling Xabriela Gett and I want to bring another name up in there. We got
to talk about David Moore. I mean, last week, when you earn a twenty eight percent target chair, you lead the team in receiving yards and score a touchdown, Like, he's a guy that I honestly want.
To lead off the conversation.
If people were looking for a play this week, I think it's David Moore. Now, if you're looking for the next few weeks upcoming, then then I lean more in Xavier Laget or Adam Thlen. Honestly, is probably Adam Thling because the thing about Xavier Laget that I wanted to point out to people is that, yeah, like he's an awesome talent. Yes, he was a first round pick. How many different iterations like do we see this offense where
guys are out targeting him on a weekly basis? Like we've had weeks where Jalen Cocher is earned a twenty eight percent target share. Now we just saw it from David Moore. What are we gonna see from Adam Thlen if he has the slot role going forward. Xavierler gets been in this like fifteen to eighteen maybe twenty percent target range. Like he's just not earning a ton of targets so like he's been saved by touchdowns in a
lot of different weeks. So my ordering for these guys honestly, right now, assuming Cocher is out, Theling takes over that slot. Roland doesn't let it go. It's probably David Moore for this week. The next two to three weeks, it's theeling, and then it's leget.
All right, there you go. I think the ligetting too is more of an indictment on Bryce Young too, because it can't be soision making and stuff like that. You know, he's sometimes the you know, the willingness to throw the ball downfield, the willingness to or the arm strength with the arm strength, the willingness, the ability to read the defense properly, all of those things. I think that might
be more on him. Some other guys coming off of Bye Marcus Valdez Scaldling, a guy we talked about the last couple of weeks, so he's gonna be back still just thirty six percent rostered. So you want to talk about guys threading the needle with touchdowns, I mean MVS is another one too, so uh, Nick Westbrook Akine MVS and standard leagues. I mean these guys should be scooped upough because they're scoring touchdowns right now. You just keep
riding the wave as long as you can. But another guy who might be floating out there now he's rostered in sixty one percent of sleeper leagues but just forty seven percent of Yahoo leagues is Keyon Coleman. So a lot of this has to do with health of Derek and we're we're gonna find out this week. It's a huge matchup here for the Buffalo Bills, So let's talk about Keyon Coleman and if he returns healthy this week, how he could be a fantasy boom potentially.
Yeah, I mean, if he returns this week, I mean he's the top name on any liptory should be because considering the ascending role for Buffalo and Amari Cooper is still not one hundred percent, So what do we see for the next like if he gets hit wrong, is he have for a few weeks and stuff? So I think Keon is a definite priority pick up. And I mean honestly, like don Ky Kaid, we didn't we didn't even mention his name on the show yet, Like Dalton
Kinkaid's not fully healthy. We don't know when he's going to be back. Maybe it's this coming week, maybe it's not. So if Keon can call him back healthy, like, could he be the number one moving forward considering everybody else on this roster is kind of banged up.
Possible, Okay, key on Coleman, pat any thoughts on him again? I know in sleeper leagues obviously highly rostered still, but a lot more dynasty leagues on there too, So that's probably part of that roster percent In should redraft, he might be floating around and people might not even realize it.
Yeah, the most talented of the receivers we're going to talk about today, by far. I still don't know why the Panthers drafted Xavier Laguette ahead of Keon Coleman. That was strange to me, and we were starting to see it before Coleman's injury. In week seven and eight's Coleman had nine catches for one hundred and ninety five yards
and a touchdown on fourteen targets. Looked like a rising star and it took him a little while to start to get it, but he was starting to get it, and we would hope the wrist injury wouldn't keep him out too long. It didn't keep his teammate Amari Cooper out for very long. I kind of think he's going to be back this week. And you know, this is a big play threat who's averaging nineteen yards per catch
eleven point six yards per target as a rookie. Good matchups in week fourteen through sixteen against the Rams, Lions and Patriots.
All right, let's look at two guys also still floating around to Maaryo Douglas fifty percent rostered and Noah Brown nineteen percent rostered to come off a decent game. Pat Douglas kind of a tough one for me because again, you can stream him this week against Indy, then he's on a bye in week fourteen, so I don't think I'm chasing him necessarily. Also, I'm desperate for somebody healthy
this week. Noah Brown also again more of a floater at this point, So any thoughts on either of those two guys that are still kind of on that bubble.
I'm never real interested in the Damario Dougla, Swandel Robinson types, Joe the PPR specialists, the guys who you know can rack up the catches but don't ever give you that much in the way of yards and touchdowns. To Mario Douglass one touchdown in twenty six career games, just no thanks. But Noah Brown quietly over the last four weeks has out targeted Terry McLaurin by ten targets twenty seven to seventeen.
He leads the commanders and targets over that span, so he is pretty clearly established himself as the number two receiver on a team that doesn't have a lot of depth a wide receiver. I know that we'll see targets to Alamidas a Kus and Dmy Brown from time to time, but like Noah Brown seems to be stepping up as
the number two. He's a really good blocker, so they're gonna want to keep him on the field a lot like he's if you're in a pinch, you're probably not going to use him this week with no one on by, But in week fourteen, I could see throwing Noah Brown in your starting lineup and feeling okay about getting maybe seven or eight points at least out of him.
Do you feel the same way, but potentially, Well, I mean, here's the thing. A week fourteen, he's on a bye so that's not gonna help you ver So that's the one thing there. Well, that's okay, But the playoff schedule New Orleans, Philly, Atlanta. I mean, I don't know if
he's got any appeal there. I think, pats Ry, I think it's in the deeper leagues and aaros where, you know, maybe just as a depth piece, you want to have some guys on your osterards and bodies, because if something happened to Terr McLaurin, let's say, you know, and Washington's been figured out a little bit in the last few weeks, maybe Brown's role could continue to evolve.
Derek, Yeah, I actually like Noah Brown as a pickup. I mean, looking at this upcoming week, Tennessee's secondary has not been close to the same with Lageria snead out. Now he's on the ir So Wheels up for Washington especially, that's it's past final defense. You cannot run the ball against them, You're gonna have to throw it. So really like Noah Brown there, and then after the bye I mean yeah, like I don't want any part of Philly in week sixteen, but fifteen and seventeen he gets the
Saints and the Falcons. I mean we've seen both those secondaries. You could throw for days against both of them. So I like, no browd out of this list a lot.
Actually, I know initially, you know, we we took a hit because we were not chasing Juju Smith Schuster. And then he had a game and everyone's like, what do you see? You guys are idiots. I can't believe Juju Smith Schuster was not rosterble Well guess what he's still not. Can we just drop him everybody? Those people still hanging on, Yes, Derek, yes, Pat, we can cut everyone loose here. Okay, there you go. So those of you who are wondering it was one week, get over it. It's done. Stop chasing it.
Because I was the pro Juju guy on this show, though I.
Think like most you were pro. After the big game where he said, all right, I saw it and I acquiesced. But you should have held on to your to your principles, Pat because you were right, because it's still just jujut.
Right, I mean having juju at the time. And I did spend Fad money that I'm wishing I had back in some legue spent.
I think that's a great show. We should all do that at the end of the year. The one guy we spent too much fad that we wish we could have had back. That is a segment we're gonna have to bring back in later weeks. For sure. I'll make sure I'll try to remember that one.
The number one name for everybody's just gonna be Isaiah what likely week one?
So I don't know, there's a lot of Carson Steel people out there. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure the Carson Steel money was real at some point. I talked earlier in the show about presence and another thing that makes a great gift this time of year, and I've got one in my house is the Skylight frame.

Let's check out the latest streamers for Thanksgiving week games everywhere, three on Wednesday, a Thursday, rather one on a Friday for Black Friday. Then we got Sunday games, you got college football. Just sit and eat leftovers and watch football all week. That's the idea. Let's start with Derek Brown. Give me a quarterback streamer for week thre team. Well, I want to take the hit.
I want to lead us off here, and I'm just gonna preface this. It's a bad week to stream a quarterback because the names we're gonna bring up here maybe not great matchups, maybe disgusting names, but he's still like fantasy points and I'm going to bet on the rushing equity of Drake May. I'm not telling you that the Colts haven't been They have been a good pass defense of last few weeks. But May we know he's gonna run. He's got the weapons to sit here and put up points.
So I'm gonna roll with him this week?
All right, so May for you? How about for you, Pat boy?
There's almost nothing after Drake May, So I think he's the number one. I mean, like, if you're really going to bind. Cooper Rush has scored seventeen point four and eighteen Fantasy points the last two weeks, and like, is it that hard to imagine him being interviewed after that Thursday afternoon game and taking a big bite out of a true ducin leg like as the MVP of that guy I see it against the Giants, I mean, does their pass defense scare anyone?
So?
No, But then again, I think Cooper Rosh is going to be starting in like point zero point five percent of fantasy leagues this week. If that Giants, I can't do an earnest sales pitch on Cooper Rosh.
Sorry, gig, you know what fantasy I was trying to let people know how discussing it is for quarterbacks this week. Look, fantasy boys and fancy boys. At the end of the day, you know, it doesn't matter if they're pretty or non. The funniest meme tweet I saw was after Tommy DeVito's performance, The Giants are looking to the waiver wire quarterback and might be looking to a former first round pick who
just was released, Daniel Jones. And I'm just like, that's really funny, Like that's just a really funny every now and then you get a funny one. All right, let's go to the tight ends this week. Pat who do you have?
Zach Ertz six catches and a touchdown me in each of his last two games. No Austin Eckler this week, So you got to figure that zach Ertz is probably gonna have a monopoly on these short area targets for Washington.
Okay, so zach Ertz could be streamed. De Bro, you're sticking with the theme this week. Your streamers seems like another Patriot.
I like pain apparently, and we're going with all the Patriots. But Hunter Henry Man he has been a top tight end, top twelve guy in multiple weeks, especially since Drake May has been under center as well. As Indy does give up production, So I may's gonna see a ceiling through the air. I think it comes on the back of Hunter Henry. Indy versus tight ends allowed the eighth most Fantasy points per game in the tenth most receiving yards of the position.
All right, let's stream a defense, Debro, who do you have? All right?
Well, talking about going against Tommy DeVito, Tommy cutlets gotta go to Dallas Cowboys. I know they have not been pretty, but it's just playing a matchup. We're playing the Giants. The Giants look like a team like anybody that saw elite neighbors talking about the state of the squad and all that kind of stuff. They've just quit man, So Dallas I think wins this game.
Can somebody sacks too? Like Devido's gonna get sacked a ton? How about you? FITZI? Who he for streaming defense?
The Chargers, they're actually a good defense. They're fifth in defensive excuse me, ninth in defensive DVOA, fifth in Fantasy points per game, and they are facing a slumping Atlanta offense that scored twenty three points in its last two games, with Kirk Cousins throwing two interceptions and taking six sacks over that stretch.
And last but not least, or maybe least, the kickers, FITZI, what do you have?
I'm gonna go back to my guy, Spencer Schrader on the Chiefs who kicked the thirty one yard game winner as time expired against the Panthers this past week, and he gets another favorable matchup this week. He just faced the Panthers have given up the most points to kickers. Now he gets the Raiders who've given up the second most points to kickers.
There you go, Debro streamy kicker for week thirteen.
I was gonna bring up Austin Cyber, but considering when you miss extra points and you cost your team the victory, you can't do it anymore.
No, no, no, he just came back. So we're gonna go to Tower Bass.
Buffalo Bills going against the forty nine ers, we see another week of Brandon Allen.
I think Buffalo Bills are going to be in the red zone often. All right, let's get to the top Waiver Wire ads of the week. Debro kick us off here one through five. All right.
Number one is a mere abdual, just chasing the volume. Number two of Keon Coleman is out there. He is number two on the list. Devon Vailey we talked about for a second, got a lot of targets. I think he does that again against the Browns this week. Hunter Henry is four and Noah Brown number five.
All right, FITZI Top five waiver ads four Week thirteen.
Keon Coleman the most talented player available on waivers this week. He's at the top of my list, a mere abdula number two. I have Tank Bigsby tentatively number three. I don't know if that's cheating. We didn't really talk about him. He's under fifty percent rostered in Yahoo leagues. If that is cheating, just slide in Jeremy McNichols for him. I'll go with Zach Ertz at number four and Noah Brown at number five.
Here you go, everybody, that's the waiver wire for week thirteen. Make sure you use the Waiver Assistant on my playbook and go to Fancy words dot com for all of our in depth waiver coverage to help you make that last run to the playoffs. And we hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and get all your waiver claims in. Do it as soon as possible so you don't have to worry about missing anything because we've got a ton of games going on early this week on Thursday and Friday.
That'll do it for us. But the story of the game goes on or Derek Brown and Paphitz Morris. I'm Joey p. We'll see you next time. Kids.
