Fantasy football has a lot of ORs. Start or sit, draft or bust, buy or sell. But you don't have to pick because Nationwide is so much more than a great insurance company. They're one of America's largest financial services companies, too. Insurance and financial services. Game changer for your insurance and financial needs. Nationwide is on your side.

An amazing way to get the most iconic famous foods from restaurants across the country. They'll ship it anywhere. It's so good. Just a few days ago, for example, I had some brisket from Joe's Kansas City Barbecue. Incredible. But right now, I want to talk to you about Thanksgiving and how Gold Belly can help. And if not Thanksgiving, then maybe a different holiday. Maybe as a gift, maybe just for yourself. But I'm hosting Thanksgiving and I am not cooking. I'll be ordering from Gold Belly. They've got so many different turkey options. Turducken is on there. How about lobster Mac and cheese? That's apple pie. All of the sides you want, all from great restaurants around the country. The food is great and it's so easy to prepare. You're going to have an amazing Thanksgiving. I cannot recommend it enough.

Once we get to Thanksgiving, once, you know, it starts to get a whoa, this season's almost over. This is nuts. We gotta win. You know, you gotta beat that waiver wire. You don't want to lose out on those good players. We got Denver, Chargers, Dolphins, Washington on a buy next week. Dave Richard, who's the headliner for the Beat the Waiver Wire segment.

The headliner is Luther Burden iii, and we've talked about him this week on multiple shows. 77% available as Minnesota this week. Pittsburgh next week. Season high 49% route run rate last week. And we know this DJ Moore, limited in practice on Thursday. He's probably going to play Alamede Zacchaeus. Two drops last week officially. I wonder if they phase him out and they give this rookie a try. Ben Johnson openly said, quote, there's a strong argument that we should get the ball to him more. Seems like a good stash candidate to me. Put him on your bench. Let's see what happens this week and maybe against Pittsburgh we have this high flying rookie end up in our lineups as a flex.
- [02:42]
C
All right.
- [02:43]
A
That would be great. Yeah. Luther Burden. All right. Anything else? And scoot. How about the quarterbacks as we do have Bo Nix, Justin Herbert, TUA and.
- [02:53]
B
Mario down by and there's some tough matchups in Week 12. Joe Flacco's got the Patriots, Caleb Williams has the Steelers, Daniel Jones as the Chiefs and Adam if Dak and Baker have bad games this week, you might not be excited to start them next week in tough matchups. So the first thing you should do double check for Brock Purdy. Double check for Aaron Rodgers. They're rostered in over 70% of leagues so they might not be out there in your leagues but they might be interesting plays with their matchups. Purdy against Carolina Rogers at Chicago. The big get is still Jacoby Brissette against Jacksonville at home. 61% available. Jaguars have allowed at least 30 fantasy points to quarterbacks in three straight games including Davis Mills. They've got Justin Herbert this week. That could be another 30 burger and Marvin Harrison Jr. Could be back. We're not starting Jacoby Brissette this week. Not because of the matchup, more so because he doesn't have MHJ. So if Marvin Harrison Jr. Is back, Jacoby Brissette is a go as a fantasy option in week number 12. You can also look at Trevor Lawrence in that same game and then the desperation plays are Jamis. That's if Dart is still out by then. Michael Penix, Tyler Schuck Falcon Saints play each other next week and then just a desperation quarterback to add in two QB leagues. Jamie's talked about him Chadur Sanders just in case the Browns make the switch from Dylan Gabriel and they give their other rookie quarterback a try.
- [04:14]
A
All right. Any running backs? Lol.
- [04:17]
B
Yeah LOL is right because there's nothing really there that's good. And there are some tough matchups for Chase Brown, Kyron Williams, Aaron Jones. You might have to replace Rashad White by this time next week. Titans running backs have probably already been replaced on your team already. Do a double check for Tyler Algier. Do a quasi double check for Amari D. Mercado. He's out there in about a third of CBS leagues and then the best of what's left. It starts with Sean Tucker. Donovan Knight is on the list there out there in at least 40% of CBS leagues. But things happen fast in the NFL. If Bucky O rings back, Sean Tucker's not going to play. If Trey Benson's back, Donovan Knight's not going to play. Donovan Knight isn't even 100 either. So it's, it's kind of a mess at running back. You can't really go to the waiver wire and find somebody you can just immediately plug into lineups. But Adam, I do have a stash.
- [05:07]
A
Okay.
- [05:07]
B
Devin Neal, this is more of deeper leagues. Just because he's a rookie running back coming out of a buyer 88 available for the Saints. Do they turn the page from Alvin Camara, Let their rookie get some more run. He's got Atlanta next week. So not necessarily the easiest of matchups. Although Jonathan Taylor would tell you that it's one of the easiest of matchups. But Devin Neal is someone that you could at least speculate on. I would rather speculate on Luther Burden for example. And there's some other tight ends that we'll talk about that I'd rather speculate on. But for those that are running back. Hungry. Hungry rather. Excuse me. Devin Neal is an option and I.
- [05:41]
A
Know he's, he's gotta buy next week, but if Chris Rodriguez is a starting running back, the main running back, he's only 13 rostered, you know, could do worse. I've seen people pick him up in my leagues.
- [05:52]
B
We will probably talk about him a week from now.
- [05:55]
A
Yeah.
- [05:56]
B
All right.
- [05:57]
A
We should talk about wide receivers and tight ends after this break on FFT Express.

I have to tell you about this game changing product I used before a night out drinking. It's called Pre Alcohol Zebiotic. Pre Alcohol drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration. That's to blame for those rough days after drinking Pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Couple weeks back so on my morning jacket at the Brooklyn Paramount. But I had an early morning tea time the next day or all the way in New Jersey, had my prebiotic, Pre alcohol went out, enjoyed the concert, woke up the next morning, got to the tee time in time and pard the first hole. Make the most of every toast, tailgate and touchdown this holiday season. Just don't forget to Bring pre alcohol along for the ride.

A
All right, we're back. Welcome back everybody. I just made a very strange face.
- [07:06]
B
I was like faces you make.
- [07:12]
A
Luther Burden, you mentioned any other ones that you're really itching to stash.
- [07:18]
B
He's he's the biggest stash that I would itch. But I would check for Christian Watson, who's 35 available and might end up being the number one wide receiver for the Packers. That wasn't necessarily a good thing on Monday, but he had his downfield opportunities. He looks pretty good. He's running fast. He does things that the packers need on offense, certainly things that Matthew golden wasn't able to give this year. So I would double check for him. I would put him on the stash list too. Would I take him over Luther Burden? I think I might. Just because DJ Moore could end up playing. If DJ Moore ends up playing, then what could realistically happen for Burden is that he might play 50 of the snaps. So you can move Watson head, but he's already rostered in 2/3 of CBS leagues. A running a receiver rather that you might be able to start. Is Parker Washington still 40% available? You just have to make sure that he's available. He's at Arizona in week 12. You might be able to use Washington in week 11. Some other stash wide receivers and Burden is way ahead of these guys. But names to know Jaden Higgins with the Texans, Roman Wilson and Calvin Austin with the Steelers. They've got Chicago in week 12. Those are interesting guys. Wilson especially 11 and a half or more PPR points in two of his past three games. I wish he played a little more and maybe he will because Calvin Austin hasn't had more than 10.6 PPR points in four straight games. He's been playing ahead of Wilson. Maybe a change comes here. Maybe it happens this week for the Steelers against the Bengals and that would benefit Roman Wilson quite a bit. Some IR stashes at wide receiver. Brandon Ayuk, Jaden Reed, Jalen McMillan. Yeah, if you've got the IR spots available, go ahead and plug them in there. McMillan's available in 92% of leagues, by.
- [09:01]
A
The way, and Chris Godwin's available in 33% of leagues, for what that's worth. He could be back next week. He's practicing right now and I don't think he's going to play in Week 11, but he could play in Week 12, so could do worse. Tight ends.
- [09:16]
B
Tough matchups for Dalton Schultz next week. Jake Ferguson, Juwan Johnson. That's on top of not having a ronde. Gadsden and Zach Ertz check for Harold Fannin still out there. And 30 of CBS leagues. People have been slow to gravitate toward him. How about this title? We've talked about him every week on the Waiver Beat. The Beat the Waiver show. I was about to say the Waiver Beat show. That sounded funny.
- [09:37]
A
The waiver.
- [09:39]
B
Bren Strange, 84 available. The Jaguars team reporter expects him to play in week 11. Oh, this is somebody who could pencil him for 10 PPR points. We know that there's all kinds of trouble with the receiving core in Jacksonville. This guy's going to be pretty steady for Trevor Lawrence and a good third down option. Again, 84 available takes on Arizona in week 12. They've allowed at least 14 half PPR points to a tight end in three of their past four games. Almost nine half PPR points to a tight End in six of nine games. Other tight ends that are interesting. Pat Friarmuth against Cincinnati this week. That's usually a good thing for tight ends. He's 85% available. And then he's got Chicago the week after that. They have allowed a bunch of numbers of tight ends as well. Theo Johnson could be on the list for however long that Darius Slayton is out. And then another Stash name. It's the same Stash name as last week. Luke Musgrave, 78 available and an IR stash behind Brenton Strange. Because I don't know how long Strange is going to be on the IR for. Darren Waller, still on ir. Maybe he comes off of ir. Maybe he gives the Dolphins a little something. He's available in 71% of CBS leagues.
- [10:47]
A
Guess who just picked up Brenton Strange in league.
- [10:50]
B
Hopefully it's not a league that I'm in, otherwise I'm going to be mad at you.
- [10:53]
A
It's not. It's weird that he's. Nobody really wanted to put him. Nobody really wanted him. So he's not IR eligible. But when he comes off ir, if he does this weekend, I will drop David Najoku for Brenton Strange. Okay? I'm not. That's not as gonna start. I'm not gonna start Strange this week. He's gonna be my second tight end.
- [11:10]
C
All right.
- [11:10]
A
Dsts.
- [11:11]
B
It's a little gross for dsts. And obviously you've got to replace Denver and the Chargers. The Texans next week have Buffalo the Patriots have the Bengals. The Rams have the bucks. So three DSCs that we love might not be ranked as high as they normally are. There's a. There's a slew of DSCs just to check for. They're already rostered north of 65% of leagues. The Falcons, the Eagles, the Bills, the Browns. Here's two that you could use in week 11 and week 12, one more so than the other. The Chiefs going up against Denver and then Indianapolis. It's not the easiest matchup for them either week, but they're a good defense. The Vikings are 53% available. They've got Chicago and Green Bay. I would look for a spirited effort from the Cowboys defense and especially their first game with Quinn and Williams this week against the Raiders, 56% available. I would only use them this week. Don't want to use them next week. So if you're desperate for a DST in week 11, the Cowboys would be an option. Other desperation DSTs the Niners against Carolina. They're out there in 2/3 of leagues. The Cardinals against the Jaguars. They've given up a lot of points of DSTs lately. And the Raiders, I know they stink, but they're taking on the Browns. That game's going to stink. And the Browns have allowed at least 10 fantasy points to a DST six times in nine games this year.
