Airbnb Host
This weekend I'm heading to Gainesville for a Gator game cooler packed for the tailgate and I'm ready for the whole experience. And while I'm off cheering for my team in the swamp, I realize my home could be doing something for me while I'm away. You can host your home on Airbnb while you're gone, and it's such a smart way to earn a little extra money. So I started thinking just a few nights of hosting could help me cover my part of the trip. Maybe even fund some new merch from the UF bookstore or a few game day upgrades. It's super practical. You don't have to be glued to your phone or managing it constantly. Just open your space while you're out enjoying your weekend. We we've hosted before when we went up to the Smoky Mountains and it was easy, straightforward, and totally worth it. So if you got a trip coming up, whether it's a football weekend, mini vacation, or just some time away, hosting can be a smart way to make your home work for you. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much@airbnb.com host.

At the week 13 waiver wire and happy Thanksgiving everybody. Right now on FFT Express. Yeah, we got three games on Thursday. Green Bay, Detroit, Kansas City, Dallas, Cincinnati, Baltimore with the return of Joe Burrow. But not T. Higgins. He will not play this week. Joe Burrow will play Friday. We have Chicago at Philadelphia and the rest of the slate on Sunday and then calling it now the big upset Giants over the Patriots Monday night. Anyway, more. Oh yeah, more time to talk about that throughout the week. Right now we're giving you some players to target on the waiver wire. No teams are on a buy some injuries to discuss here. But Jamie, what's the waiver wire looking like for week 13?
- [02:23]
Jamie
I think there's some fill in options. I don't think there's a slam dunk, must start guy. You have a couple running backs that are going to be of of interest in Devin Neal because of Al Camaro with the knee injury. Chris Rodriguez we talked about going into the Commanders bye week. Most likely they're starting running back or at least their featured running back. You know, tough matchup against Denver, tough schedule. But you know, some guys that you can look at there, maybe Raheem Mostard if this Ashton Genti injury concern is, is a problem. But my guess is he just came out of the game because of what the score was at that point and the hits that he was taking behind that offensive line. You mentioned T. Higgins and his injury. Andre Yoshavas gets another week of potential action and maybe Micaseki because of what Higgins absence has mean has meant for Gaseki over the years. Tight end actually is probably my favorite position this week just because of Brenton Strange and still Dalton Schultz and Colson Loveland. You know, three eyes, three guys that could be potential starters for you. And the other receivers I think are going to be some intriguing third options. Third three receiver options in three receiver leagues. Like Jaden Higgins who's been playing well of late. Jamari DK who's, you know, got an opportunity in front of him. There's just some, some interesting options. Not necessarily a slam like we don't have the Emmanuel Wilson unfortunate, you know, scenario. I don't think Devin Gill is that guy.
- [03:40]
Host
Okay, how come? You know, because usually we get excited to varying degrees about, about running backs and Devin Neal had what, seven cat, seven carries and five catches. He's widely available. 12 rostered. And his schedule, we talked about it with Camara. Camara had one of the best remaining schedules. You look at Devin Neal's page on CBSSports.com on the fantasy site. Every matchup is green, which is a top 10 matchup. Miami's 24th against running backs. Tampa Bay 23rd, Carolina 22nd, Jets 20th, Tennessee 26th, Atlanta 29th. That's week 18. So almost all of them are green anyway. Yeah. How come we're not, you're not that excited about Devin Neal.
- [04:20]
Jamie
Well, I will counter the green matchups by going to Alvin Camara's player page and looking at single digit, single digit, single digit, single digits. Oh, look, there's a double digit one against Carolina. A single digit single. Like, it's just been tough to trust the guy who's better than him. And then you factor in Taysom Hill, who is most likely going to be a huge problem for him. So I think there's reason to buy into him as a flex. There's certainly reason to buy into him as maybe a number two running back if you're desperate. But it's also not like Camara has been ruled out for the season. You know, there's still a chance that he can play this week. I don't think that's gonna happen, but there is a chance that he can return, you know, soon. So for all those great matchups, they could be Camara instead of. Excuse me. Instead of Devin Neal. All right. Funny story with that, though. In our podcast league, we were carrying to Mary dk. Drop DK for Jaden Higgins Thursday night. I really wanted to get Devin Neal. So drop Jaden Higgins on Thursday afternoon. Didn't pick up anybody. Waiting to pick up Devin Neal, watch Higgin score the touchdown. Like, oh, man, I. I knew I shouldn't have dropped him. Knew I should have dropped them. Then we get Devin Neal, and then this. This happens, you know, so roundabout way, like, it worked out, probably will work out for us, but so, yeah, it.
- [05:31]
Host
Might work out for someone else, too, because they have an opportunity to pick up Jaden Higgins, who's been encouraged and Jim Ray dk.
- [05:37]
Jamie
Yeah.
- [05:37]
Host

The 64.com quarterbacks to pick up Jamie.
- [07:46]
Jamie
Not the best list. I have CJ Stroud at the top just based on his performance prior to getting hurt. What Davis Mills has done while he was out. And I know it's not the easiest matchup against the Colts, but I don't think it's one that you say, okay, if I don't need a quarterback. He's not one to look at. That makes sense. But I have him and Tua basically as the top two guys to, you know, acquire for this week of the guys who are widely available. And then it gets ugly. Tyler Shock, Cam Ward, Max Brosmer now with the J.J. mcCarthy injury and Teddy Bridgewater with the Baker Mayfield injury.
- [08:21]
Host
Two has got the Saints Stroud. Stroud is still in the concussion protocol, by the way, but if when he clears, he will be the starting quarterback they've announced. Okay, running backs. Anyone other than just, just keep an.
- [08:32]
Jamie
Eye on Jacoby Brissette and Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence been dropped in a lot of leagues, but gets what should be a favorable Matchup for him this week. You know, I, I hope he takes advantage of it but we'll see how things go there for. For the Jaguars against Titans.
- [08:47]
Host
Any running backs other than Devin Neal?
- [08:49]
Jamie
Yeah, there's a couple. I mean, you know it's not, it's not terrible. Devin Neal, Chris Rodriguez. I'm still going to put in claims for Jaleel McLaughlin. I know RJ Harvey dominated snap snap count there but McLaughlin clue the next guy up and if Harvey struggles I think he'll get an opportunity just based on the familiarity with Sean Payton. Raheem Mostert, just in case there is something going on with Genting. You know, leaving the game is something to keep an eye on there. Dylan Sampson, same thing. Quinch on Judkins in the medical tent twice. I know he finished the game but maybe this is a guy that they you know play a little bit more Shoulder Sanders in the passing game after he had the big explosive play for the touchdown. And then Blake Corum would be the last guy to just add just in the, in the range of guys that we talk about.
- [09:27]
Host
All right, wide receivers. So DK and Mechi, do you have a preference?
- [09:33]
Jamie
I have a slight lean toward DK just because I think his quarterback situation is a little bit safer. I don't know if that makes sense or not. But also the prospect so you can put Metchie right there. So I have basically four guys that I think are almost identical in terms of like a lot of questions but clearly a path to success and that's Yoshivas Chimary, dk, Jaden Higgins and John Metchie. So all four guys, you know, five to ten of your fab, you know, potential three number three receivers. Matches ten targets in his last two games since being acquired scored a touchdown in both. Higgins has been four of his last five with seven plus targets. You know, back to back games with touchdowns. We'll see what happens with Shroud back. I hope it's not a Davis Mills thing but something there. Dk we'll see what happens when I am enters healthy. He missed the game as well but we know that Calvin Ridley's out for the rest of the season with that hamstring injury or excuse me, broken legs, broken leg. I'm sorry and Yoshivas. I don't know if it's gonna be a one week thing again for him but we know how sometimes concussions can linger and there's a big opportunity with Burrow back with you know him playing, being the starter opposite to marches.
- [10:39]
Host
Yeah, he played five Games without Higgins last year and with Burrow, with Chase, and it wasn't great. He had four or fewer targets in three. In four of those five games, he scored in one good game. And then other than that, he really. And that good game was two catches, seven yards, two touchdowns. But it's different, you know, it's just different. He had a good game last week. Yoshavas, you mentioned it. When he gets targets, he's pretty good. The guy that was really great last year was Gasicki. I mean, it was wild how good he was when. When Higgins was out. I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head. I just remember that story.
- [11:11]
Jamie
We'll have it for you tomorrow.
- [11:12]
Host
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's someone to consider. But he didn't. He played about 50 of the snaps. He had the second most snaps among Cincinnati tight ends, but a lot more than Noah Fan.
- [11:21]
Jamie
Just some other guys for receiver Jane Reed. They opened his window to return last week, and maybe he's a difference maker for the Packers. Greg Dortch, as long as Marvin Harrison continues to be out, he's been fantastic the last two weeks. Darius Slayton, I still think is going to have some better production with Jackson Dart under center and then we don't know how long Drake London is going to be out, but Darnold Mooney as well.
- [11:41]
Host
So one thing on Slayton is that he, he had been playing in two receiver sets. It would be Wondale and Slayton last yesterday or Sunday it was Wandale, and then it was either Slayton or Hodgins. So it bunged me out a little bit because you and I kind of like Slayton. He didn't.
- [11:59]
Jamie
He kind.
- [11:59]
Host
He lost some snaps to Hodgins.
- [12:01]
Jamie
I have a feeling, you know, based on what Jamis said, that Jamis and Hodgins have a very good rapport and maybe that carries over for, for Dart as well. I know Dart and Slayton were playing well together prior to both getting hurt.
- [12:16]
Host
All right, tight ends.
- [12:17]
Jamie
Yeah. So tight ends. For me, I, I struggled with Brenton Strange versus Dalton Schultz, but I'm going to give the slight edge to, to Strange just based on what he looked like yesterday and what maybe his role is going to be. Also prior to getting hurt, he was starting to build some momentum. But I think both those guys plus Strange is. Is more widely available. So it's a 60 roster. Strange at 20. Colston Loveland just continues to, you know, every time he's. He gets chances, he's delivering for them. Tough matchup coming up. Against Philadelphia. And as you alluded to Sunday night, the schedule is brutal for the Bears coming up, but still young player on the rise, you know, should be rostered in more than 63 of leagues. Kaseki would be next at 3%. I have Darren Waller who's expected to practice on Wednesday. After him, you know, maybe he comes back and picks up where he left off. Was doing a great job for the Dolphins before getting hurt. Taysom Hill, now he's going to be, you know, more involved. So that's something to keep an eye on there. Gunner Helm is getting a lot more playing time lately and producing, you know, so maybe they're starting to just lean into their youth movement. And then we have now with Tyler Higby out for the season, Colby Parkinson very quietly scored a touchdown three straight games. You know, so with the way Matthew Stafford's playing at this point, why not take a chance on someone who's as not a big part of that offense, but a part of that offense and somebody that has, you know, at least been productive for three straight games.
- [13:27]
Host
By the way you talk about Loveland and, and yesterday on the recap show I said that Caleb Williams, based on his schedule, probably the best sell high candidate. Well, the Eagles had four injuries to starters or to to key players on defense. Not, not their best players, but two safeties.
- [13:45]
Jamie
Yeah, blanketship was hurt.
- [13:46]
Host
Blankenship Makuba is out for the season. Adori Jackson got hurt and a defensive lineman got hurt as well. Not, it's not Jalen Carter, it's not Quinyon Mitchell, but it's four players got hurt yesterday, guys that play significant snaps for the Eagles. So that's a Friday game against the Chicago Bears and definitely something that we'll be monitoring. All right, that's Jay. Oh, dst.
- [14:08]
Jamie
Sorry. Yeah, DST is interesting. Chargers, my favorite. Taking on the Raiders this week. So go get them. They're 48 roster. Jaguars get the Titans. I know the Jaguars defense has been a little suspect. Well, I shouldn't say that. They were great two weeks ago against the Chargers. They were a little suspect yesterday against the Cardinals. Falcons coming off a strong game, they get the Jets 49ers against Chador, you know, so we'll see how things go there against a better defense, at least a better coordinator. And then the Dolphins get the Saints, you know, now down Camara. So I know Tyler suck actually played well against the Falcons. But still, if you're desperate, Dolphins might not be bad kickers. You got Kyrie Fairbairn. Now these healthy should be rostered in more Leagues. Brandon McManus in no favorite of yours. Early in the season had three field goals against Minnesota and now they're playing indoors against the Lions. That could be a low scoring game where he's getting more opportunities. Badgley gets the Texans in his building, so indoor kicker don't worry about weather. Jake Elliott's not coming off a big game against the Bears. They've given up fantasy points to kickers. And then Chad Ryland against the Bucks, so we'll see if he can make up for his missed field goal yesterday.
- [15:06]
Host
I said Andrew Makuba is out for the season for the Eagles. He could be. He's having ankle surgery, so he's gonna be out for a while. I don't. I shouldn't have said this season. It's not guaranteed. This according to Jeremy Fowler. All right, everybody, thank you so much for watching and listening. We'll have much more for you tomorrow with a long look at the waiver wire. Get you ready for week 13 and Thanksgiving. Side dishes, all the stuff we love. We'll talk to you tomorrow on Fantasy Football.
