Jamie's got his waiver wire notes ready to go. All right, who's the headliner on the Week 14 waiver wire?
- [01:46]
C
I think it has to be Mike Evans. 45% rostered. There was a report over the weekend from the NFL Network for me and Rapaport that he could play as early as this week. Todd Bowles did not rule it out when he spoke on Monday. And so you would think for a player who's on injured reserve that he would be rostered in more leagues because of IR spots. But 45, I mean, that's a must add player to me. We know what Mike Evans is capable of when he's healthy. So he's the headliner for sure. Receiver is probably the, the place where you can find some, some potential, I don't want to say league winners, but certainly of some potential. Starters once you get past Evans, you got to keep an eye on Greg Dorch now because of what he did in the two games without Marvin Harrison. Harrison dealing with the heel injury. So Dortz has the potential to step back in as at least a third a starter in three receiver leagues. I think you got to keep an eye on the Detroit situation because of St. Brown being out. But right now I'm going to lean toward Isaac Tesla. But Khalif Raymond could return and that's someone to keep an eye on. He did not play in the Thanksgiving Day game so we'll see what happens there. But Tesla to me has the more more most upside. And then you have these young receivers who have been playing very well in the case of Jaden Higgins or guys that popped this past weekend in Adnai Mitchell and Devon Vale, both guys coming off huge games. Mitchell against the Jets, Valet against the Dolphins. Mitchell gets the Dolphins this week and he's gotten a good target share since coming over in the trade from the Colts. And Vale with the since the trade from Shahid going to Seattle has also been heavily involved for New Orleans. Jaden Reed's available in over 50 of leagues. He may return for the Packers. And you know I know I've been banging this drum. It's. It's been on a low end scale. But Andre Yoshavas may get another game without T. Higgins and we know with Joe Burrow back he scored a touchdown last week so something to keep an eye on there. Yeah.
- [03:32]
B
And if you're going well, why would I want to pick up Mike Evans? He wasn't really that good the first three weeks. He faced some very difficult cornerbacks. AJ Terrell in week one, Derek Stingley in week two, Sauce Gardner in week three caught his touchdown against the jets in a play where he was not lined up against Sauce Gardner. So it was, it was a little bit deceiving. I think he scored 10.1 to 13.3 PPR fantasy points in those games. Then he got hurt pretty early in the Detroit game. But I probably shouldn't expect him to be amazing. Obviously they have a Buka Godwin's back. See about McMillan at some point. Offense hasn't really been humming but yeah I would, I would pick him up in a second. Mike Evans and he. We got Jordan Mason as a running back. He is 72 rostered but anyone else.
- [04:16]
C
The running backs, the. The more interesting guys are in the shallow league. So you know we'll talk about this more on on Tuesday's show but you have Jordan Mason at 72, I think you obviously have to pick up even though he's on a buy. Tuba Hubbard. 73, Donovan Knight. We don't know at this point when Trey Benson's coming back. He's just above the threshold at 67 for night. And then you have Tyler Algier just continues to find the end zone. Basil Tootin may get, you know, continue to get a prominent role for the Jaguars. And Devin Neal. 72, we don't know when Alma Camara is coming back. So those running backs are interesting. Really outside of that, it's Chris Rodriguez scored another touchdown against the Broncos. You kind of know what you're getting with him. You're not going to be involved in the passing game and if they get close to the end zone, he's probably going to get a chance to score. But 46 rostered, as we'll talk about tomorrow, I have a list of just, you know, we're getting to the fancy playoffs. Pick up handcuffs at this point. Blake Quorum showed you what he can do if given a feature. You get an idea of what Blake Corm could do in a featured role. 39 Roster Julian McLaughlin is the second guy in Denver at this point. 35 Rostered Michael Carter and Taize Spears are kind of, you know, desperation flex plays at this point. Carter, 8.8 PPR points each of his last two games. 8.8 PPR more each of his last two games. Taj Speers is kind of just lives in that 7 to 9 ppr point range. But Brian Robinson, Ray Davis, Keaton Mitchell, Samajp, Ryan, like, why would you not just stash these guys just in case something happens to the starter in front of them? They could be absolute stars.

All right, we got quarterbacks, tight ends, DSDs to tell you about when we come back on Fantasy football today Express.

From holiday parties to festive roasts by the fire, the holidays are full of moments to share a drink with friends and family. Being ready for the next morning still matters. That's why I have to tell you about this game changing product I use. It's called Pre Alcohol. I'll be honest, I'm heading out to a show this weekend in New York City. A lot of money to get there. It's Geese, the most popular band right now on the Internet. And I know it's going to be a heavy drinking weekend. I already know. So I prepped everything. You know, I got the ticket ready, I got my train ticket. I want to make sure that the day is going to go great. But then I said I forgot the most important thing and I looked to my cabinet and there it was, the pre alcohol. So I cannot wait to take that before the concert. It's going to be a long night, but it's not going to be a long morning with pre alcohol. Make the most of every toast this holiday season. Just don't forget to bring pre alcohol along for the ride.

B
Okay, quarterbacks to add for week 14 and I should have said but we have four teams on by. We have the Giants, The Patriots, the 49ers and the Panthers.
- [06:51]
C
Yeah. So if you thought quarterback was great last week when we talked about it, wait, you see this list. So there is a chance Jayden Daniels does return this week, but I still love Marcus Mariota at the top. I mean clearly what he's done when he's gotten a chance to start. I thought he played great against the Broncos given the defense he was facing. 28 roster, not an easy matchup against Minnesota, but I mean he does just so much with his, you know, legs and getting Terry McLaren back. That passing game looked much better certainly against Denver. So if Mario starts again, he'd be a borderline starter and then the list gets really fun. I have Todd Taylor next taking on the Dolphins. They just gave up over 20 fantasy points to Tyler Schuck. Taylor's coming off a game where he threw for a touchdown, ran for a touchdown so maybe he gets that 18 point per 18 point game, 18 point range. Why do I screw it up 18 point range for him against Miami. I have Tyler Shuck next. He's coming off. He's got two games in his last three over 21 fantasy points taking on the Bucks this week. So maybe he gets in that similar range. 2 has been miserable but the jets are the jets and you know he could obviously have a two touchdown game at some point. So he's next. And then just for the super flex and two QB audience, Trey Lance. In case Justin Herbert does not start, Lance would be the starter there. Not somebody you want to consider a must start guy by any stretch but clearly could help you in a desperate situation.
- [08:06]
B
Man, I wish two were playing well because he's got jets, they're 20th against quarterbacks. At Pittsburgh they're 25th although I think the cold weather is usually a problem for tua so keep that in mind. Two games at the jets and at Pittsburgh, then Cincinnati and Tampa Bay at home to Finish things off their 28th and 27th against quarterbacks tight ends.
- [08:27]
C
Tight end is actually pretty good. So you got Bren Strange. I think he belongs in the driver's seat of the of the list. But you can certainly make an argument for Dalton Schultz ahead of him or Harold Fanning ahead of them. All three guys are in the range that we talk about. Strange coming off another solid game. It wasn't a lot of targets. Three catches, scored a touchdown though he's now been 10 or more PPR points in his last four healthy games. So with the way this offense is using him, I think he's worth trusting as a starting option. Schultz, another strong game in PPR. Not an easy matchup obviously in week 14 at Kansas City, but hard to overlook what his usage has usage has been and his production has been in every game except Buffalo. Excuse me then for Fannin, you know great to see him find the end zone and Shooter Sanders, you know, leaning on him his route participation. I saw somebody posted this 90 so something that you can look sorry, I'm losing my voice. Harold Fannandino is just I think the the safest pass catcher for the Browns and then two veterans that we've kind of written off coming off strong games. Evan Ingram was great against Washington and you know, good matchup for him this week. And then in the case of T.J. hawkinson, I know it was against Seattle but now he gets Washington and Washington was miserable. Has been miserable against tight ends this season as well. So depending on who starts for the Vikings, keep an eye on that. But Hawkinson worth a look. And then Isaiah Likely and I have Isaiah Likely, Gunner Helm and Colby Parkinson more for deeper leagues. You know, likely got the Bengals bump but we'll see if that, you know, carries over their schedule against tight ends is great. Starting with Pittsburgh, Helm has six catches each of his last two weeks so clearly being more involved in the Titans offense. And Colby Parkinson had another game with four catches. He did nothing with it 20 some odd yards but did score a touchdown in three straight games. So deeper leagues you could find some potential help there. But tight end is actually pretty good.
- [10:08]
B
All right, we're going to finish it off with the DSTs.
- [10:11]
C
Yeah. So DSTs, you got the bucks, they get the Saints, you got the commanders depending on how much you want to trust them and who the quarterback is from Minnesota, but Minnesota is terr. And then the Chiefs taking on the Texans. You know how the Texans sometimes operate offensively and they're going to be back at home for Kansas City kickers got Evan McPherson. He scored, depending on your league, 36 fantasy points in his last two games. So he's been great for from a production standpoint, not ideal going at Buffalo. We'll see what the weather is there. But he was just in Baltimore. Harrison Mevis Mivas. I forget to pronounce his last name. The kicker for the Rams. He's their guy for the foreseeable future. They. They cut Josh Carty, so looks like he's going to be their. Their kicker for the rest of the season at Arizona. And then Riley Patterson's coming off a game where he just made four field goals taking on the Jets. I know again, elements could be an issue there, but did just have four field goals against Saints.
- [10:58]
B
How about team name? Mievis and Butker.
- [11:03]
C
Not bad.
- [11:06]
B
By the way, did you mention the Dolphins dst?
- [11:09]
C
I did not. They hot?
- [11:11]
B
They're hot.
- [11:13]
C
They should put them there. Yeah. Yeah.
- [11:14]
B
They've got three straight good games in a row. They're getting some pressure. Three straight games with a pick. They're facing the Jets. Jets.
- [11:22]
C
I don't think that Rod turns it over very much. Right. That's the thing.
- [11:24]
B
He has kind of this year, I think, but typically his history is to not turn the ball over. All right, thank you, Jamie. We'll talk to you tomorrow with a longer look at the waiver wire on fantasy football today. See ya.
