News and Notes

Player Trades and Injuries

• Vernon Davis to the Broncos:
  The trade of tight end Vernon Davis to the Broncos presents both opportunities and challenges for fantasy owners. While Davis has potential as a receiver, his role might be limited compared to the currently underperforming Owen Daniels.

  Andy Holloway (08:58): "…if you're in a tight end, needy position. I'll take a flyer on him, but I'm not Vernon Davis."

• Keenan Allen's Injury:
  Wide Receiver Keenan Allen is reported to have a kidney injury, sidelining him indefinitely. This leaves fantasy managers scrambling to find suitable replacements.

• Marcus Mariota's Status:
  Marcus Mariota is expected to participate fully in Wednesday's practice, with a likely return to action this week, offering some stability for fantasy quarterbacks.

• Matt Forte's Availability:
  Uncertainty surrounds Matt Forte's injury status, with predictions suggesting he may miss four to five games. This impacts teams relying on Forte for consistent production.

• Tyrod Taylor's Return:
  Tyrod Taylor is back in action and fully healthy, making him a viable streaming option at quarterback.

Coaching Changes and Team Performance

• The firing of Ken Whisenhunt as Arizona Cardinals' head coach adds unpredictability to the team's offensive dynamics, affecting player performances and fantasy projections.

Waiver Wire Pickups

Wide Receivers

• Kamar Aiken:
  With Steve Smith out due to an Achilles injury, Kamar Aiken emerges as a primary target. While not an immediate starter, he offers long-term value for teams looking to bolster their receiving corps.

  Mike Wright (18:41): "I think that Kamar Aiken is a must grab if you need a long-term prospect."

• Tavon Austin:
  Known for his explosive potential, Tavon Austin remains a popular waiver target. His performance is heavily matchup-dependent, making him a high-risk, high-reward option.

  Mike Wright (20:32): "He's used and he has the talent portion of what you're talking about."

• Stevie Johnson vs. Malcolm Floyd:
  In the absence of Keenan Allen, Stevie Johnson is favored over Malcolm Floyd due to his role in short-pass scenarios. However, Floyd remains a viable option for those seeking additional depth.

  Mike Wright (21:59): "I love Stevie Johnson. He would be my number one wide receiver."

Running Backs

• D'Angelo Williams:
  Both Mike and Andy express strong support for D'Angelo Williams, citing his significant role in Pittsburgh's offense, especially when Le'Veon Bell is injured.

  Andy Holloway (24:29): "Everything."

• Jeremy Langford:
  With Matt Forte potentially missing multiple games, Jeremy Langford is highlighted as a valuable pickup, offering consistent usage in a crowded backfield.

  Andy Holloway (26:11): "I am treating the signing of Jeremy Langford as a four to five week AD for my team."

• Pierre Thomas:
  A recent signing by the 49ers, Pierre Thomas is discussed with mixed opinions. While some view him as a reliable option, Andy remains skeptical about his immediate fantasy impact.

  Mike Wright (35:06): "Pierre Thomas is a talented back and he is the lone running back there."

Tight Ends

• Jordan Reed:
  Despite low ownership, Jordan Reed is praised for his double-digit potential when healthy. Owners are encouraged to pick him up and utilize him in their lineups.

  Mike Wright (38:02): "If he's healthy, you pick him up and you play him."

• Ben Watson:
  With newfound value following the return of Heath Miller, Ben Watson becomes a must-add for teams needing tight end depth.

  Mike Wright (38:27): "Ben Watson still available in some leagues. He's got to be signed."

---

Streaming Options

Quarterbacks

As the playoff picture begins to take shape, streaming quarterbacks based on favorable matchups becomes crucial.

• Tyrod Taylor:
  With his return, Tyrod Taylor is recommended for his strong performance potential, especially against weakened defenses like Miami.

  Andy Holloway (40:24): "I like Tyrod Taylor moving forward."

• Derek Carr:
  Derek Carr is highlighted for his effective performances against tough defenses, making him a reliable streaming option.

  Mike Wright (42:09): "Derek Carr is still available in a lot of leagues and he's just been slinging it."

• Ryan Fitzpatrick:
  Facing Jacksonville at home, Ryan Fitzpatrick is suggested as a solid streaming choice due to the Jets' resilient performance and favorable matchup.

  Andy Holloway (42:52): "That is a solid matchup for a quarterback."

[Jason Moore]

Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

[Andy Holloway]

Good morning, everybody. Yeah, we're here. We're back. It's Tuesday.

[Mike Wright]

What a game last night.

[Andy Holloway]

That was a good game. That was a great game. That was fun to watch. We'll talk a little bit about that on today's show because we had some fantasy implications in that game too, obviously. And yeah, it's November 3rd. We're back again. It's Tuesday. It's our waiver show. We are the Fantasy Footballers. I am Andy, joined by Mike and Jason.

[Unknown Speaker]

Hello.

[Andy Holloway]

And you can find us on the web, the Fantasy footballers dot com. That's where you can submit us questions. Check us out on twitter @the ffballers. You can also visit us, visit our fantasy football community. There is 900 plus of you in our on jointhefoot.com in our fantasy football community, asking questions, sharing information, making your teams better. So it's always fun to go on there and see people's stories. I got an email today from somebody who is a Foot clan member who was.05 in two leagues and is now back in the playoff picture. Yeah. In both leagues.

[Mike Wright]

Love it. There you go.

[Andy Holloway]

So, and I, by the way, I'm officially four and four in that league. I started one and four in and I have the.

[Mike Wright]

You got the second highest points scored in the league, Andy.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Behind me.

[Andy Holloway]

I know. Behind you.

[Mike Wright]

All right.

[Andy Holloway]

All righty. We have. What do we got? We got some news and notes. Got a lot to update you on the kind of injury getting whatever took place on Sunday. We got to let you know how the players are doing. We've got our full stream ahead section today and we're going to go through all your waiver wire pickups. This is kind of. It seems like this is kind of a monster week.

[Mike Wright]

Monster week. The last few weeks, I've been really disappointed with the waiver options. Not so this week. There are a lot of guys worth spending some money or some waiver wire priority on.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. And I think even more, you know, when I say that, I mean need. There's going to be more need this week and there's going to be there's bye weeks, big bye weeks. So that'll be good. Quick question of the day. How confident would you be heading into the fantasy football playoffs with Andrew Luck at the helm?

[Mike Wright]

I. I would be. I would be decently confident and here. And I base that on the fantasy playoff schedule. I believe Andrew Luck has one of the better schedules for quarterbacks in week 14, 15, 16, which are the predominant fantasy playoff weeks. And the thing is, is he has stunk. I mean, he's been terrible. You watch the games and something's wrong with him.

[Andy Holloway]

Ugly. Yes, Ugly. You Ugly.

[Mike Wright]

However, if you look at the fantasy production, I mean, he still keeps squeaking out decent performances, and that's why he's.

[Unknown Speaker]

Didn't he enter.

[Andy Holloway]

He entered the fourth quarter negative with point one.

[Unknown Speaker]

With negative points.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

And I don't. What did he end up finishing with?

[Andy Holloway]

18, 19.

[Unknown Speaker]

That's ridiculous.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. This is why. I mean, quarterbacks just score.

[Unknown Speaker]

However, next week, Andrew Luck takes on.

[Mike Wright]

The Broncos and that. So.

[Andy Holloway]

So the Texans, I think they're on by, aren't they? Yeah, they're on by.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yep.

[Andy Holloway]

So they can't. But they could go into the division league just by de facto. The Indianapolis Colts losing.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man, that's. That's crazy. I will say this. I'm not confident in Andrew Luck getting me to the fantasy playoffs.

[Andy Holloway]

Would you be more confident in Cam Newton right now than Andrew Luck?

[Unknown Speaker]

About the same.

[Andy Holloway]

If he keeps dancing every first down he gets.

[Unknown Speaker]

Dude, he like. Do you guys really think that he can sustain playing the way he is right now? You think he was going to be alive and playing every single game by the end of the year?

[Mike Wright]

By the end of this year?

[Andy Holloway]

He's a truck. He's a truck.

[Unknown Speaker]

I understand that he's a truck, but you can't get hit like that continually and not suffer something.

[Andy Holloway]

I couldn't. Jake Gruden or John Gruden couldn't get over the hits. Every time he took a hit, he'd just be like, well, gee whiz. In my day, we didn't want our quarterbacks getting hit like this. This is just, you know.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. Because they. They know that if Cam Newton goes down. Well, I guess Derek Anderson was.

[Mike Wright]

Was great last year.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

But most of the time you're speaking, your main quarterback goes down, you're done, they're done.

[Andy Holloway]

If he goes down, their whole offense is predicated on the ability for him to run the ball. They have Ted Ginn and Corey Brown running routes. I mean, it's just. He's a selective passer that pass he made though in overtime to Olson, that kind of put Olson in a position to go make a play on it got them down at a field goal range to tie it back up. Really an impressive throw. Many impressive. The throat again.

[Mike Wright]

The throat again was perfect.

[Andy Holloway]

It's all back foot, man. It's crazy.

[Unknown Speaker]

Newton, the, the touch was there. I would. Which something that I've felt was missing. And he, he had some great passes the last week. And as, as the Arizona fan, I was very happy to see the Arizona version of Ted Ginn show up yesterday after he's been playing pretty well. It was frustrating. Like why can't you play that well last year?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, well, he did drop a horrible now forgotten pass.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, that was a game winning pass.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, before we move on, hit.

[Unknown Speaker]

The, hit the button there.

[Andy Holloway]

We got several tweets.

[Unknown Speaker]

Several tweets. There was quite the debate yesterday between Ty Hilton and Dante Moncrief who can score five points and this poor listener.

[Andy Holloway]

He had both debate.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. And many people tweeting us following saying it's not gonna happen. So either way, that listener wins. I'm sorry, you lost five points.

[Andy Holloway]

Both, both players could not get five points. And the joke I made at the end of the show about the Bermuda Triangle bet that I, that we should have made where I take Hilton, Jason takes Moncrief and you take Andre Johnson and we all laughed. Andre Johnson had like infinite infinity more points. It seemed like. All right, so let's go ahead. Every week we like to read reviews from the listeners. The show exists for you because of you. So we like to give shout outs to our fans and read reviews that are funny or we like. So we're gonna go ahead and do that right now.

[Jason Moore]

Review a source Rex.

[Mike Wright]

This one comes in from Mike D and it's called Staying in the Flames of Fantasy Football. What can't I say about the Fantasy Footballers podcast? The only bad thing about it is when I'm done listening to my daily dose, I have to wait a whole day for the next one to be delivered to my pocket. I've been in a highly competitive 12 team league for eight seasons and I've only made the playoffs twice. I started listening to these guys before the season, through my draft and never miss an episode. The fantasy footballers have helped me fill to the brim with knowledge and build and adjust a winning squad that now sits atop my league. Starts sits streams of the week and choice morsels on the waiver wire Keep me in the flames weekly while leaving my league makes eating Dirt your league makes. League makes. Eating dirt.

[Andy Holloway]

Dirt cake. It's dirt cake.

[Mike Wright]

Dirt cake. Learn to read the fantasy footballers is a must listen. And he is.

[Andy Holloway]

What's his team name there?

[Mike Wright]

Where's that?

[Andy Holloway]

The Coheeds. Yes. Thank you, Mike D. Yes.

[Unknown Speaker]

Very appreciated.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes. Does that mean what is dirt is dirt cake? Jeremy Macklin. Is he.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, yeah, I forgot about the cannibal, the dirty cake.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, thanks for the review. We appreciate it. It's. It helps the show out if you leave those reviews on itunes. So we, we like to read one every week. Let's go ahead and get into the news.

[Jason Moore]

News and notes from around the league.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't think we've ever had a just pure news and notes show, but it's feeling like the amount of stuff going on.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes, Huge, huge news.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, let's start at the top. Vernon Davis. Vernon Davis traded to the Broncos. Tell me what this means for fantasy owners.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, it's very interesting because we saw Virgil Green kind of start getting involved in the, in the actual pass catching last week, finally, after Owen Daniels has simply disappointed the entire year and to the point of thinking, hey, maybe we should pick up Virgil Green. And while I was forming that thought and thinking about it, Vernon Davis gets traded over to the Broncos. And I, I believe that he kind of slides right into the, that Owen Daniels role. Virgil Green will go back to being a blocker because the O line hasn't been.

[Andy Holloway]

He's a great blocker.

[Unknown Speaker]

He's a great blocker and they need him to block, unfortunately for Virgil Green in his fantasy outlook. But Vernon Davis, if, if you've watched him win healthy, he could still get it done. So there, there is a pretty strong opportunity here for Vernon Davis. I'm not, I'm not blowing a huge fab for it, and I'm not using high priority to get him. But let's say you're. You're in a tight end, needy position. I'll take a flyer on him, but I'm not Vernon Davis.

[Andy Holloway]

Vernon Davis or Heath Miller.

[Mike Wright]

Heath Miller.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, the. Let's see. Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen is out with a kidney injury and this is an indefinite injury. From what I read, he had to go to the hospital after symptoms got worse after the game. And so no real timetable yet. We'll find out more, but right now I would count on him being out this week. They said he's going to miss time and so big blow to Keenan Allen. Owners out there and the Chargers, I was telling you yesterday, they're two and.

[Mike Wright]

Six that blew me away. You're like, guess the Chargers record.

[Andy Holloway]

I just feel like they've been in every game and yet they're two and six. So. Keenan Allen, owner. Okay, so who's the fill in? Would you rather play Stevie Johnson or you'd rather play Malcolm Floyd?

[Mike Wright]

Stevie Johnson, because of the way that Keenan Allen is normally used with the short passes, I think Stevie is more likely to fill that role in.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, that's kind of how I lean. Although Floyd's coming off a monster week, so he might. He might be the guy that goes on the waivers.

[Unknown Speaker]

That's what Floyd does is every once, about every four weeks or so, Malcolm Floyd will have a huge week. But I agree Stevie Johnson will be more of the possession type receiver and hopefully Antonio Gates can get healthy there.

[Andy Holloway]

Hey, guys. Hey.

[Unknown Speaker]

Hey.

[Jason Moore]

What breaking news.

[Andy Holloway]

Ken Wizen Hunt has been fired. He accomplished three wins in 23 games.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, Ken Wizen Hunt.

[Andy Holloway]

I guess we could muse on Ken Wizen Hunt a while as Arizona Cardinal fans, but we won't. We'll move on to the fact that Marcus Mariota is a full participant or should be in Wednesday's practice. Probably expect him back this week maybe.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

He.

[Unknown Speaker]

They. The former coach Ken Wizen Hunt had said he expects him to play.

[Andy Holloway]

All right. Stay on top of the Brandon Marshall situation. It's too early to tell. According to head coach Todd Bowles regarding toe and ankle injuries. Everything I've read says sore toe. So ankle. But you kind of need both when you play wide receiver. So we also don't know about Ryan Fitzpatrick right now because he needs surgery on his left thumb at some point. But it's a pain tolerance thing right now. So he could be back in next week.

[Unknown Speaker]

Is it pain tolerance? I thought I had read it. It wasn't pain tolerance. It's just. Can he actually grip a ball?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I think it'll be interesting to see what happens. Yeah. And Geno Smith is day to day, so monitor that they play. They have a good matchup at home. They play the Jacksonville Jaguars in New York. Coming off the loss, we'll have to see what happens, see if they can bounce back. Let's see here. Map forte news. This is big. He'll miss at least two weeks.

[Unknown Speaker]

Allegedly.

[Andy Holloway]

Allegedly could be longer. Basically the reports bounced all over yesterday. But here's the gist. He's going to miss some time. He should be back at some point this season is what was told. So that's tough.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. It's just an mcl, right? Not no damage to the ace well, it's not.

[Andy Holloway]

What is this sprain?

[Unknown Speaker]

It's a strain. Wait, no sprain.

[Andy Holloway]

I know. I'm trying to remember ligaments. Sprain is ligaments versus.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes. And unfortunately, Matt Forte's head. Coaches. John Fox, the.

[Andy Holloway]

He's clever like a fox.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, man. He gets you with that injury misinformation.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. So desean Jackson supposed to play this week against the Patriots. Either of you guys taking a flyer on him on the waivers and.

[Unknown Speaker]

And.

[Andy Holloway]

Or starting it?

[Mike Wright]

No, I'm not. But I'm also, you know, Pierre Garcon's around a lot of waivers. He's been a viable, usable guy, and I'm less inclined to play him now just because targets.

[Unknown Speaker]

I would pick up D Jacks if I needed a wide receiver. I don't know about playing him this week.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I agree with that.

[Unknown Speaker]

But I pick him up. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, let's go ahead and talk about. Let's see, Kyrie Robinson. We said yesterday he probably had a broken leg. He's got a broken right tibia. He's done for the year. Do we bump up C.J. spiller?

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, I do bump up both of.

[Mike Wright]

Those guys because Kyrie's been heavily used and that usage is going to have to go elsewhere, obviously. So I think both Mark Igram and C.J. spiller take a bump up and maybe even Drew Brees if they've got to pass a little bit more. We saw last week. He is still capable.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

Throwing that football.

[Unknown Speaker]

And I've gotten quite a bit of questions of, you know, of these trades. Should I trade away Mark Ingram? No. Mark Ingram has been awesome and his value has gone up now with the unfortunate injury to Robinson.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, you got to remember, Ingram had a huge week two weeks ago and he lost two touchdowns to Robinson.

[Unknown Speaker]

Exactly. Robinson's not there to take touchdowns anymore, and I don't imagine that C.J. spiller will be doing any goal line carries. So Ingram has to get at least a minor boost.

[Andy Holloway]

And last bit of news, Bill's Camp Watkins should practice this week. Tyrod Taylor will be back, and they expect him to be. Not limited at all, 100% back against the Dolphins. Big. They need a win that'll be a good divisional game. And I like Tyrod Taylor moving forward.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, yes.

[Andy Holloway]

So he's. Don't forget about him. That's. I mean, you've probably made other plans at quarterback because you had to, but don't forget about Taylor.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes. People with the simple minds.

[Andy Holloway]

Don't forget people with the simple minds.

[Unknown Speaker]

It's a It's a. That's a music reference.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, I thought it was a Ken Wizen hunt reference. All right, go ahead.

[Mike Wright]

That's funny.

[Unknown Speaker]

That one got me. Before we get into our waiver wire section, we want to take a moment to thank our sponsor Topps and the Tops Huddle app. Listen, we've talked about the Huddle app. Before card collecting, it was the bee's knees. Guess what? It's the bee's knees again.

[Andy Holloway]

We'd also like to thank one of my favorite sponsors, Meundies. Yes, Meundies. They are the best, the best underwear you will ever have in your life. 90% of your life you're in your underwear. So get rid of your old saggy nonsense underwear and get me undies. The Meundies is the most comfortable underwear you will ever wear. I can speak to that truly. It is insane how good they make you feel. They fit perfect. Your pants and your shorts slide right up over them. They are wonderful. Meundies says that they are two times softer than the typical material because they use a special material that is sustainably sourced from the Austrian apps. That's Alps. I mean that is amazing stuff. But I still think that they are way more than two times softer. You bring them out, it's like you're touching magical material that goes on the importance.

[Unknown Speaker]

This is no joke, people.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, it really. You know, we love meundies because we have them and they are fantastic. So here, I'll make it easy.

All right.

[Unknown Speaker]

It is true. I'm laughing, but it's very true.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it is. And I have a tie dye pair and they're wonderful. All right, let's get into the meat and potatoes of the show, my friends. Let's get into the waiver wire.

[Jason Moore]

Let me in, coach.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my goodness.

[Unknown Speaker]

It's a big one.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, we're going to really need to be hitting the, the best signings here because there are a lot of guys. Let's talk about the situation. Let's start at wide receiver and talk about the situation taking place right now in Baltimore, which is, you know, Steve Smith out with the Achilles injury. Somebody has to fill in, don't they? Is it Kamara Akin?

[Mike Wright]

It is, yeah. We saw in just a few quarters when Steve Smith was out, Kamar Akin had 14 targets in that time. The targets are going to be going his direction. And unlike, you know, what happened when DEZ Bryant went out and Terrence Williams had to get the targets, he has a quarterback that can get him to him. So I think that Kamar Aiken is a must grab if you need a long term prospect. But we have to be realistic that he's on the buy this week, one that helps you grab him. So if you need a guy for the rest of the season, a decent play, that's good. But if you need a guy to start this week, then obviously he's not going to help you.

[Andy Holloway]

And I think you need to monitor what they do in free agency a little bit because they're going to sign somebody, maybe a couple of guys.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, Aiken's still going to be the target hog, I think.

[Mike Wright]

Who do you think they could bring in?

[Unknown Speaker]

Grab and say, okay, here's our playbook. Go out there and run every single route.

[Mike Wright]

You're our number one.

[Andy Holloway]

Not, not many guys, but, you know, Crockett Gilmore, I move up a little bit just from a target perspective on that team. So if you are wavering on him, I just. It has to be a mixture of talent and opportunity. And he's got opportunity part of it. I don't think Aiken is anything special. I think this was very similar to like, okay, let's say Keenan Allen's out for the year. Right. Like, what do we think of Malcolm Floyd?

[Unknown Speaker]

Well, Malcolm Floyd is. He's He's a desean Jackson kind of guy. He, he shows up big and then he disappears.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm not really arguing with anything anybody's saying. I'm just saying temper your expectations. Don't expect them to come in.

[Mike Wright]

He's not going to be Steve Smith, right? Absolutely.

[Andy Holloway]

Number 18 in the, in the wide receiver rankings right now is Tavon Austin. Tavon Austin put up a huge game last week. What do we think about him? I mean, he's on a lot of waiver wires and, you know, more than 50% and he keeps getting it done.

[Mike Wright]

You called him well this last week when you made him your start of the week and he exploded. Part of the reason you made him your start of the week was because of matchup and you've seen him really take advantage of good matchups. He's used and he is, he has the talent portion of what you're talking about. He was a high draft pick in the NFL for a reason and he is blazing lightning fast. However, I think he, he has to be a matchup play type of guy. To me, this week he's playing Minnesota. You know, I'm not sure what I would expect there. You know, he could put up 10 points. I wouldn't be shocked.

[Unknown Speaker]

Austin is one of those guys where, yeah, he, he keeps doing it every single week, but are you ever really comfortable putting him in your lineup?

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, I'm.

[Unknown Speaker]

And that's the problem with, with him where.

[Andy Holloway]

But compared to guys, I'm free agency.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, sure, I can see that.

[Andy Holloway]

He at least can give you those kind of Deshaun. I mean, he's a lot like desean Jackson from a fantasy production standpoint this year. You know, he's averaging about 14 a game in half point PPR. He's had, you know, four double digit games, three single digit games. So yeah, I mean that he's a guy that should be owned, I think. But yeah, he's not going to be perfectly consistent. And Jason's right. The matchups matter. We talked a little bit about it earlier. Jason said he prefers Stevie Johnson in the absence of Keenan Allen. Stevie Johnson and Malcolm Floyd are about the same ownership percentage in all of your leagues, about 28% in ESPN leagues right now.

[Unknown Speaker]

I think they're both good ads. I just, I would prioritize Stevie as long as.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, no, I think that's the right play. He's a little bit of a, you know, Keenan Allen in the preseason talked about them in the same breath. You know, that type of a player.

[Unknown Speaker]

Philip Rivers, who Did I say Keenan Allen?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I did mean Philip Rivers.

[Unknown Speaker]

Keenan Allen says, hey, Stevie Johnson and Keenan Allen, we're good.

[Mike Wright]

You saw in the beginning of the year, the first two weeks, Stevie Johnson came out and was great. He was targeted a lot. He caught the ball a lot. He caught touchdowns and then he got injured and went away. And now opportunity has come back. So I do think he's a really good ad. If I was going to add anybody for this week, a matchup that I'm confident in, they're playing against Chicago. I love Stevie Johnson. He would be my number one wide receiver. That is a claim.

[Andy Holloway]

Monday Night Football game.

[Unknown Speaker]

Excellent. And the last guy I'll mention is Brandon Lefell. He's. But he is about 50% owned, so he may or may not be available. He's. He played over 80% of the snaps last week and he was very highly targeted. I think he had seven. So moving forward, lefail is going to get even more involved in the offense. The thing to watch about him, like I mentioned, was as soon as they got in the red zone, he got pulled out. I don't know if that's going to continue or if that's just a.

[Andy Holloway]

Because that's what you don't know with New England one time game plan, are.

[Unknown Speaker]

They working him in slower in the. The red zone or. Or not. But he's just. He's on the field so much and the Patriots are scoring so many points that Brandon LaFell will get his. But I. So how would you guys prioritize? These guys? Aiken, Austin, Stevie Johnson, Floyd and LaFell.

[Andy Holloway]

Man.

[Unknown Speaker]

Who's your number one?

[Andy Holloway]

Rest of season or like for the next week? For next week.

[Unknown Speaker]

How are you picking them up? Let's say you need a wide receiver.

[Andy Holloway]

If I'm rest of season, I take the shot on Aiken.

[Unknown Speaker]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

If I'm looking for next week, I probably sign Stevie Johnson. That's the truth.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I'm the same. Except if I'm rest of season, I would probably take Brandon lefell over Aiken just because of offense and the hope that he can score a lot more touchdowns than Aiken.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I kind of left LaFell out of my. Out of my brain.

[Unknown Speaker]

Lefell is kind of harder because he's more owned. But yeah, number one, he's not available.

[Mike Wright]

I would see Akin that way.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, we need to talk about the main event here, the running back position. Yes. Thank you for that. D'Angelo Williams.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yep.

[Andy Holloway]

How much are you spending?

[Unknown Speaker]

Everything.

[Mike Wright]

All of it.

[Unknown Speaker]

Everything.

[Andy Holloway]

So you guys are both completely 100% committed to D. Well, being a top 12 back everything.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I really am. I mean, when we say we're spending everything, that means if you've got the top priority, you obviously put your claim in on him. And that means that you look at your. If you've got the fab system, look at your fab and look at the league. Right? Because Mike, I know in one of our leagues you have the most fab available to you. I think you've got $96 available, which is lunacy. Get involved, Mike. In your waivers. However, the next highest person only has 70, so you're bidding 71. Look at that. So you don't just waste money on your fab if you know you're making, you know, a max type bid.

[Andy Holloway]

That's a good point.

[Unknown Speaker]

D'Angelo Williams, the first two weeks when Le'Veon Bell was out, was the number one running back. The offense is too good in Pittsburgh. It runs through the running back and you just, you know he's going to be involved. There's nobody else there that's really going to take anything of note away from D'Angelo Williams. He's looked solid.

[Andy Holloway]

You're not worried about Isaiah Peed Even this week?

[Mike Wright]

Even this week in half a game after Le'Veon Bell got injured, he finished without a touchdown in a low scoring game, was a top 12 back.

[Andy Holloway]

Unbelievable.

[Mike Wright]

And you have to remember D'Angelo Williams has always, I mean, you want to talk about a talented guy, he's a great runner. He's just older and he was always in a timeshare and he was always in a low scoring offense. Now he's coming to a great opportunity. So he's got to be everything.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, so you missed out on D'Angelo Williams because he's the top AD. Everybody's going after him. You don't got the fab, you don't have the waiver priority. Let's talk about the Forte situation.

[Unknown Speaker]

Now.

[Andy Holloway]

There. We don't know. There's misinformation. My prediction is that Forte misses four to five games.

[Unknown Speaker]

Really?

[Andy Holloway]

Yes. I could be completely wrong and I probably. You guys will let me know when I am.

[Unknown Speaker]

No, no, not at all. Because this is all just speculation. Off of, off of a.

[Andy Holloway]

Let's say, let's put it this way. I am treating the signing of Jeremy Langford as a four to five week AD for my team.

[Unknown Speaker]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

So I did some research on Langford. I wanted to look at him a little bit closer because we want to know just like we Wanted to know with Char west, is he going to be a guy that can contribute to your fantasy team or is he just a guy? You know, the 49ers are in a situation where they have to put just the guy in the backfield. Nobody's putting that guy at the top of these lists. Okay. Lankford was a fourth round pick from Michigan State. He played wide receiver. He played cornerback early days, Michigan State. He's got hands, which lends itself to some baseline numbers there. If he's the starter, he's a pretty talented guy. He's not a super physical guy. I don't know what we'll see around the goal line with him. He's, you know, kind of that middle round pick. I like him probably the same as I would. I would have treated west with upside because he's young, you know. You know, you're not just getting some, you know, the offense is okay. It's pretty good. So I would spend a decent amount of money on Langford.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. The hardship here because you're fighting to.

[Andy Holloway]

Get in the playoffs and so you need a start.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. If you are fighting to get in the playoffs, then he is a great guy. He's only owned in 2% of leagues. So, you know, you might not be able to get D Will, but you can get Langford. You know, he's out there and available. The difference obviously is that we don't know how many games he's going to be relevant. So if you're the forte owner, then go all in or, you know, go a lot in. Make sure you get it because then you've still got rest of season covered in that spot.

[Unknown Speaker]

In the Bears, similar to the Pittsburgh Steelers, their offense is really predicated. The running back is extremely important to the success of the offense. So I do like Langford a good bit because. And he. When Forte went out, Langford was the guy. And the backfield is crowded and there absolutely can be a surprise, which is why it's. I'm not saying everything on Langford. I know what D'Angelo Williams is going to do and how he'll be involved. Langford, we're still kind of guessing they from what they showed, but there's a lot of guys in that backfield. Kadeem Carey is still there, even though everyone's passing him on the depth chart. Just saying he's. He's still there. The spectacular Anton Smith is there. So who knows. But as of now, I'm treating it like Langford will be the majority snap guy.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Yeah. So Langford is kind of number two on my list. Let's talk about some other guys. There are three players on bye this week and I mention that because they three running backs that you could probably get super cheap because of that. That's Joyk Bell, Theo Riddick and Buck Allen. They're all on buy this week. None of them are high tier waiver wire guys, but we like to mention them because if you can sneak by and snag a guy that could be valuable down the line, you know, Joy looked okay.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. To me, Joy Bell is the guy that I would want. Of the three of those, they used him in the running game and it wasn't a great running matchup for them. And that was what I had said when they made that change, was they were wanting to be more balanced and do, you know, carry the ball on the ground, not just run through the air. And so Joy is going to be the guy that does that. You have a bye week to get him just all the more healthy to get that offensive line working. So, you know, you guys had a water bet from the off season that seemed, that seemed insane that Andy could ever win it because at the beginning of the year, it was second half of the year. Joy Cabell versus Amir Abdullah.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

And right now, if I had to predict who's going to win that, I'm.

[Andy Holloway]

A go second half of the year starts.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah. If I had to predict who was going to win, it would not be me since Amir Abdullah cannot get on the field.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. A guy that I really like. We mentioned him already, but he's worth picking up. He's owned in most leagues, 57% of leagues. But C.J. spiller is a guy that you should go out and grab with Kyrie Robinson being out because Spiller's been very good. And he gives a big frowny face because he dropped them going into this week.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, no.

[Andy Holloway]

I spent.

[Unknown Speaker]

It happens.

[Andy Holloway]

This week was terrible. I saved money all year long. I'm not the most frugal, fab guy in general. I kind of. I take the philosophy you spend when you. When you need to spend and you get the guy and just be happy it worked. You know, Signed Edelman last year real early. A lot of money. Spent 13 bucks in last week on CJ Spiller. 13 fab. Nobody competed with me, nobody bid against me. So I felt dumb spending 13 on Spiller. The news about Carlos Hyde comes out. I dropped spiller spend 10 bucks on.

[Unknown Speaker]

Reggie Bush, which was a smart play.

[Andy Holloway]

Reggie Bush gets goes. Nobody bid against me, by the way. Maybe $1.

[Unknown Speaker]

I didn't have a spot.

[Andy Holloway]

Reggie Bush goes sliding. By the way, reggie bush torn MCL, not ACL. So that is very good news for him. But $23 down the drain. And now Spiller's back on waiverwire. That's why that frowny face. You are correct, Jason. All right, I'm going to mention some other names. You guys talk about who you want to talk about. Carlos Williams, Chris Thompson, Matt Jones, David Cobb, Antonio Andrews.

[Unknown Speaker]

Carlos Williams is a decent ad. I'd say he's pretty close to a must add. If you're a Lashawn McCoy owner, wouldn't.

[Andy Holloway]

You rather have Cobb or Andrews?

[Mike Wright]

Not if you're Lashawn McCoy.

[Unknown Speaker]

I'm saying if you're Lashawn McCoy owner, you want Carlos Williams. Because we've the carnage, man. You gotta, gotta buy that insurance right now. But so between, let's say Thompson, Matt Jones and David Cobb, and, well, let's throw Antonio Andrews in there as well. What are you guys doing with these four?

[Mike Wright]

You know, before the head coaching change with Kid and Wizen Hunt, I didn't really want any of the running backs. I realized that someone could be valuable, but I could never anticipate a situation where I feel confident starting anyone from the Tennessee running game. However, with that coaching change and then maybe wanting to, you know, try to get something going, I would take a flyer on either Andrews or Cobb and I'd probably put them higher in that list. Cobb is probably the most the more exciting. You know, he's the rookie that we haven't seen. Right. But Andrews has been playing well.

[Unknown Speaker]

So I think of this list, I'd go with Chris Thompson, where the news out of Washington is still Matt Jones and Alfred Morris will continue to split and Chris Thompson is the guy who gets in when they are down. And guess who Washington is playing this week.

[Mike Wright]

New England. They will be down.

[Unknown Speaker]

They will be losing. Yeah, sorry, Washington fans. So I expect a healthy dose of Chris Thompson this week. Who could be a very sneaky PPR.

[Andy Holloway]

Guy rest of season. Theo Reddick. Chris Thompson.

[Unknown Speaker]

Theoretic.

[Mike Wright]

Theoretic.

[Andy Holloway]

I would do that too. So let me. Let me ask you this, guys. Carlos Hyde is out. Reggie Bush is out. Mike Davis is out. Broken hand. Who do you sign? I mean, somebody has to play running back in San Francisco for Blaine Gabbard, right? We didn't mention Colin Kaepernick. News.

[Unknown Speaker]

Sorry about that.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, there was a lot of news, but Colin Kaepernick has been benched. He's terrible. He really is. I mean, I feel like. I mean, if there's one thing I was wrong about.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, it was.

[Andy Holloway]

It was Colin Kaepernick in every way, shape or form except for the two weeks that he was my start of.

[Mike Wright]

The week and he crushed it.

[Andy Holloway]

But, I mean, I thought he was going to assist, not descend into the pit of whatever he's doing right now.

[Mike Wright]

So the pit of Tom Sula, it's not a pit you want to be in.

[Unknown Speaker]

It's like a Sarlacc pit.

[Andy Holloway]

The pit of Tom Sula, it's just filled with chest hair.

[Mike Wright]

Stinky.

[Unknown Speaker]

Who do we pick up?

[Andy Holloway]

Kendall Gaskins.

[Unknown Speaker]

Hey, we talked about this yesterday off the air.

[Andy Holloway]

They will sign somebody.

[Unknown Speaker]

Hit the breaking news button.

[Jason Moore]

Breaking news.

[Unknown Speaker]

49Ers have signed Pierre Thomas. In your face.

[Andy Holloway]

They did. They signed him.

[Mike Wright]

Did you listen to me? Just like rewind the tape about five minutes. Yeah. I said. You said who do you sign? I said Pierre Thomas. I called that one workhorse.

[Andy Holloway]

We need to debate. This is fresh, fresh news in the air.

[Mike Wright]

I want 100% signed Pierre Thomas. He. He is a talented back and he is the lone running back there, it seems like.

[Unknown Speaker]

Hey, Gas around.

[Andy Holloway]

Is he depth, though?

[Mike Wright]

No way. No way. Pierre Thomas. Here's my. Here's my thinking why he's not depth.

[Andy Holloway]

Be careful not to speak in such absolutes, my friend. All right, well, Kendall Galians has been a part of this offense.

[Unknown Speaker]

Sure.

[Andy Holloway]

Complex to learn offense.

[Mike Wright]

Let me, Let me.

[Andy Holloway]

There are eight plays this well oiled machine.

[Mike Wright]

Let me rewind and give out a realistic expectation here for Pierre Thomas. Pierre Thomas would not sign a veteran minimum contract. He didn't want to come in. And the reason he hasn't signed yet is because he wanted. He thought he was worth more. And so I'm guessing that, you know, this is breaking news. I don't know. But I'm guessing he signed not a veteran minimum contract, which means they signed.

[Andy Holloway]

Shane drawn too, which means Sean Drum.

[Mike Wright]

If they're paying him money, they're paying him to use him. Now the starter is Carlos Hyde and that's one thing we can't forget about here. Carlos Hyde is not gone for the year or anything like that. He's probably just.

[Andy Holloway]

When you sign two guys, you might not be counting on him to come back.

[Mike Wright]

Well, Reggie Bush just went out and then Matt Jones went out. Two guys went out.

[Unknown Speaker]

No, not Matt Jones or Mike Davis.

[Mike Wright]

I always. Their names are too moving, easy and simple.

[Unknown Speaker]

But this signing, to me, I'm not as. I'm not nearly as excited as Jason is. But of anybody from San Francisco, I would take a flyer on Pierre Thomas. This, this could be a Jim Tomsula desperately trying to save his job type of maneuver where they, they have to Thompsoula has to win some games or he, his career can be in trouble. So Pierre Thomas is a, a decent guy I don't know of. Besides Ahmad Bradshaw, Pierre Thomas is the only running back I know of on the street right now who, who can come in and produce in kind of all phases of the game. So I think Pierre Thomas is, I'm.

[Andy Holloway]

Gonna, I'm gonna go ahead and completely contradict you both and I don't believe he'll be valuable in any way, shape or form. I don't think anybody there will be valuable in any way, shape or form. That's, that's they face, they face the Seahawks, they face the Cardinals. Hyde will be back after the buy. Maybe It I think is a waste of your fab. So. Yeah, well, I'm choose your favorite footballer.

[Unknown Speaker]

I'm not saying spend anything on him, but if you're in a deeper league, taking a flyer, that's fine. He's a pass. Catching back a flyer's fine.

[Andy Holloway]

That's what I did with Orleans Dark one. That's that kind of guy. You just want to see what happens in a committee.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

So I wouldn't, I wouldn't count on him to be a contributing factor to your fantasy.

[Mike Wright]

I wouldn't, I wouldn't drop a lot of money on him, but I would, I would definitely pick him up.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, we gotta, we gotta go through tight ends real quick. Somehow Jordan Reed's still on our waiver wireless because he's only owned if it's 2% of leagues, which is just insanity, people.

[Unknown Speaker]

Jordan Reed.

[Andy Holloway]

Same with Ben Watson.

[Unknown Speaker]

Jordan Reed, when he plays and plays an entire game this year, he's put up double digit fantasy points.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

If he's healthy, you pick him up and you play him.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. If you're listening right now and you've got Greg Olson, just go everyone check your waiver wire and see if Jordan Reed is there. Because if he's on your waiver, you need to pick him up. Drop someone. He is worth that. Drop in Ahmad Bradshaw on your bench and pick him up.

[Andy Holloway]

Ben Watson still available in some leagues. He's got to be signed. We talked about Heath Miller having a much higher ceiling now that Big Ben.

[Unknown Speaker]

Is back and Lev Bell is gone.

[Andy Holloway]

And Lev Bell is gone. Charles Clay, if he's been forgotten about in your league for some reason, been Dropped Tyrod Taylor's back. He had the best rapport with Tyrod Taylor. And Clay gets the targets also on Heath Miller.

[Mike Wright]

He's playing Oakland this week.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, my goodness.

[Mike Wright]

Kind of a nice storm.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, we're going to get into our.

[Unknown Speaker]

And Vernon Davis, we talked about.

[Andy Holloway]

We're going to get into our streams as well. You guys want to move on to that? You guys want to talk streams?

[Unknown Speaker]

It just some. Some quick defensive matchups. The Bengals versus the. Versus versus the Browns.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Unknown Speaker]

Rams versus Minnesota. The Patriots versus Washington. And I kind of like Philadelphia versus.

[Andy Holloway]

I love Philly versus Dallas. Yeah, absolutely.

[Unknown Speaker]

So those are four that may or may not be available to you.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, let's go ahead and talk streamers.

[Jason Moore]

Full stream ahead.

[Andy Holloway]

All right.

[Unknown Speaker]

Oh, before Andy's shifting, before we get.

[Andy Holloway]

Into our streams of the week. Yeah. I've stretched my arms out because I want to say a couple things once I. One, I want to let people know what to say. Section is full stream ahead is our opportunity to tell you, you know, if you're taking the approach that we kind of prescribed for most, you know, for a lot of leagues, which is stream the quarterback position, spend your early draft picks on running backs, wide receivers that are more valuable to your team because quarterbacks score so much. So we have this section. We like to talk about streaming quarterbacks, which are guys that are available in more than 50% of leagues. Pretty much. Isn't that our standard 60%?

[Unknown Speaker]

Yeah, right around there. Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

So let me just say this. We give you these guys. This is not go bench your superstar quarterback and play these guys. This is if you're streaming and need a good matchup and a good start. These are guys that we like to stream this week. Okay.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

I say that because I got some word from people saying I benched Drew Brees to play your stream of the week.

[Mike Wright]

Well, that being said, I probably. No, I'm just saying last week, Drew Brees, nobody saw that seven touchdown game coming and clearly I did.

[Unknown Speaker]

I just kept it to myself.

[Mike Wright]

He would have, but. Yeah, I mean, you're not. You're not bitching.

[Unknown Speaker]

I will say this. If you are an Andrew Luck owner, you may want to pay attention to these three guys.

[Andy Holloway]

Fair enough.

[Unknown Speaker]

I'm not playing Andrew Luck this week against Denver.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, no, you're right. That's all.

[Unknown Speaker]

I'm going with Tyrod Taylor. He's back. He's back, everybody. And he put up almost 300 yards and three touchdowns the last time he played Miami. He's playing Miami again. Their, their defense got very exposed.

[Andy Holloway]

The.

[Unknown Speaker]

The letdown of guns. Mahoney as the new coach kind of fell apart there as the Patriots just, just destroyed them.

[Andy Holloway]

Dismantled, disassembled, destroyed. All of those words.

[Unknown Speaker]

Exploded. Yeah, yeah. Whatever your derogatory comment was, that's what happened to Miami last week. And Tyrod Taylor has been a spectacular fantasy quarterback and he's been quite a good real life quarterback.

[Andy Holloway]

They seem to take their time getting him back too.

[Unknown Speaker]

Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

So I back.

[Unknown Speaker]

I believe Tyrod Taylor is fully healthy. He's good to go. You pick him up. And this is a streamer who may turn into your every week quarterback, Jason, who's yours?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, well, mine is similar.

[Unknown Speaker]

You got to hit the button.

[Mike Wright]

Oh yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Send in the car. Send in the car.

[Mike Wright]

A similar vein in the sense that this is a quarterback that's quickly becoming a guy that can be near an every week starter because Derek Carr has gone up against two really tough matchups in San Diego and the Broncos and had good games. This.

[Unknown Speaker]

The jets, you mean?

[Mike Wright]

Yes, the Jets. Yes, the Jets. And, well, all three.

[Unknown Speaker]

He was, he was okay against the Broncos, but he was great against the.

[Mike Wright]

But by comparison to what other people have done against the Broncos compared to Aaron Rodgers. My point is he has been playing good. He's been playing great in good matchups.

[Unknown Speaker]

He's been playing well.

[Mike Wright]

Good. Oh, yeah, you're right. Playing well. Thank you, Mike. Playing well in hard matchups. And so he's got Pittsburgh, which has been a decent matchup lately, decent defense. And I expect this game with Big Ben another week back to be higher scoring. So Derek Carr is still available in a lot of leagues and he's just been slinging it and he's got the weapons to use now. So Derek Carr should be owned. Pick them up.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, I'm going to go with the ambiguous jets quarterback versus Jacksonville at home. I think it'll be Ryan Fitzpatrick and so that's kind of why this is my start. I like them at home. Bounce back. Deckers have been playing well. Marshall, I expect to play. So keep an eye on it.

[Unknown Speaker]

At home versus Jacksonville.

[Andy Holloway]

At home versus Jacksonville.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Unknown Speaker]

That is a. That's a solid matchup for a quarterback.

[Andy Holloway]

And this has been a pretty resilient jets team this year. When they've lost, they've come back in a big way. I expect their defense to be better. I expect whoever's behind center, hopefully it's Ryan Fitzpatrick to be a worthy start this week as a streamer. So not a ton of great options in the streaming world. So he's kind of my favorite of what's left. And you guys snuck into the show doc before because Tyra Taylor was at the.

[Unknown Speaker]

That's what you get for stealing Chris Johnson.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Unknown Speaker]

Last week.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, that's what I get. So. All right, that's it for today's show. Thanks again for listening to the Fantasy Footballers podcast. You can find us on Twitter at the ffballers.
