1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, December fifth, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your Man, MG,

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant joined by Michael f. Florio. We got a

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: fun show for you today. Matt Ocatta is going to

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: drop by with his top waiver wire targets for the week,

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: but first answering fan questions as we get closer to

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: the start of the fantasy playoffs. Let's get to some

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: of your questions real quick. You send them to us

9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter x at Fantasy NFL Fantasy Rather. Kouba wants

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: to know what do we do with Adam Thielen.

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: You bench him and maybe even drop him. Like the

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: numbers when Frank Reich isn't calling the plays are vastly

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: different than what they are when he calls them.

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: Plus, you didn't draft him to do all this much

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: for you, so you could probably move on from him.

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: Alexandra wants to know Cup or Puoka. But at this point,

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: I think it's Pooka six straight games with less than

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: fifty receiving yards for Cooper Cup. I don't know if

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: he's fully healthy or what the deal is, but Pouka

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: Nakua really has taken over as the wide receiver one

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. This one for you from Dale is DK.

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: I must start each week.

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: I'll say yes to appease you guys, but no, like

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: I know he went off this past week. Coming into

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: this game, he was a wide receiver three, averaging less

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: Fantasy points per game than Gabe Davis. Like, yeah, you're

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: gonna start DK, metcalf, I get it. But all the

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: people being like you never sit a wide receiver one

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: clearly weren't paying attention to the output that DK had

30
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: been giving you the first twelve weeks.

31
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: The Seahawks passing game hadn't been that great before Thursday

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: night last one. Bryce wants to know who do I

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: start rest's schedule full PPR McBride or Ken Kaid. These

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: are first world problems here, Bryce. I'm gonna say Trey McBride,

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: but this feels like there's no real wrong answer here.

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: But Trey McBride has been lights out in the last

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: month or so, so that's the guy that I would

38
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: go with. Let's get some of the top Waiver one

39
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: targets for the week are pal Matt o'cott has put

40
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: together his list for Week fourteen. Quarterbacks got Josh Dobbs, Baker,

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Mayfield Gardner, Minshew Joe Flacco. Welcome back Joe Flacco at

42
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,279
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old, the Desmond Ritter and Matthew Stafford.

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Moving on to some running backs, Chuba Hubbard, Ti j Spears,

44
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott going on Thursday night against the Stevens, Antonio

45
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Gibson Commanders on a bye, but worth stashing there, Keaton

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Mitchell as the Ravens come back off there by Roshawn Johnson,

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell because you should be handcuffing your elite players

48
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: at this point the season, and Michael Carter again the

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals also on a bye this week. Some pass catchers

50
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: at wide receiver Curtis Samuel, Elijah Moore, Greg Dertsch, Noah Brown,

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: and John Metchi with Tank Dell out for the season,

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Mingo, who's put together a couple of decent games

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, Isaiah Likely Jarled Everett, and

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Kate Atten. As we talk about the tight ends. Time

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: now to bring in the one and only Matt o'catta,

56
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: who writes the Waiver Wire column. You can find it

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: at NFL dot com slash waiver wire. Two teams on

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: a bye, which is not optimal considering it's the last

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: week of the fantasy regular season. But I guess if

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: there's a silver lining, it's Arizona and Washington. So maybe

61
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: a couple of guys of not missing, but not an

62
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: overwhelming number. Matt So, but let's start at quarterback because

63
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco thirty eight years old. I will say he

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: comes directly off the couch and throws the ball well,

65
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: but look, he hasn't been playing for a while and

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: actually looked decent this past week for the Browns.

67
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know where he's been throwing. Maybe it

68
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: wasn't the couch, maybe was his backyard, it wasn't on

69
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: an NFL field, but you wouldn't know it the way

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: he came out and slung it this past week. And

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: the same thing happened last year with the Jets, and

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: this year we said, well, no, he can't do it again.

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: He's another year older and he's been out of the

74
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: league for even longer, and this team's not good. He

75
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 3: threw for two hundred and fifty four yards a pair

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: of touchdown passes, sixteen fantasy points with a pick and

77
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: he just looked to good, like maybe the best we've

78
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: seen from a Browns quarterback all year or in recent years.

79
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: So I know this sounds crazy, but I'm not opposed

80
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: to looking at Joe Flacco if you were relying on

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: Kyler or Sam Howell, who are two of those somewhat

82
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: usable guys that are out this week. Next week he

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: gets to Jaguars. They've actually been pretty soft to fantasy

84
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: quarterbacks over the last five weeks, and they have allowed

85
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: several big performances and a few surprising streams throughout this season.

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 3: It would help a lot if Amari Cooper is active.

87
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: He should be in the concussion protocol after last Sunday,

88
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: so keep an eye on that because that will be

89
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 3: his number one weapon, obviously. But there's a lot of

90
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: holes at QB these days, and a lot of streamers

91
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 3: who could project in this range. I think Flacco is

92
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 3: one of them, and probably the most easily acquired.

93
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: And oh Kotta, you do this every week, and for

94
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: weeks now you have been telling people to pick up

95
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: Chuba Hubbard. It feels like more than half the year

96
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: you've been saying this. This feels like people's last chance

97
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: to do.

98
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, it is almost certainly the last chance because

99
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: he's pretty heavily rostered finally, and he just had another

100
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: big game, So I think this is your last shot

101
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: to pick him up. And forty percent of NFL dot

102
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: com players started him last week, So congratulations to all

103
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: of you who got his twenty two point four fantasy

104
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: points against the Bucks. To the rest of you, go

105
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 3: and pick him up. That marks two straight games for

106
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: Hubbard with twenty plus fantasy points, and this past Sunday

107
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: was his best on the ground by far, twenty five

108
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: carries for one hundred and four yards in what was

109
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 3: this first game of the post Frank Reich era, So

110
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: I'm optimistic we could see more of that moving forward.

111
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 3: Miles Sanders once again looked incredibly inefficient and should honestly

112
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: not be seeing anything more than a couple change of

113
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: pace touches moving forward in my opinion, and this is

114
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: important to note. The Panthers were able to stay in

115
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: that game. I think that's why we saw so much

116
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: from Hubbard. I think they can do that again next

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 3: week against the Sinks, and the week after that to

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 3: get that against the Falcons. Both the visional games against

119
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: opponents there kind of middle of the road, and the

120
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: Saints Rundy is not what it was for many years

121
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: that vaunted d that you could not start anyone against.

122
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: So I'm willing.

123
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: To roll Hubbard out there this week and I think

124
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: rest of season.

125
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: Speaking of running backs that play in a Southern division,

126
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: ty J. Spears as a guy who's had a decent

127
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: role all year long. Now, look, we thought maybe Derek

128
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: Henry is going to be a concussion protocol, then Mike

129
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: Rabel said he's not. But it does feel like people

130
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: should still be adding Spears just because he seems to

131
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: be carving out a decent role in Tennessee.

132
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, it's a little bit of calum in a

133
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 3: little bit of column B there. One. We don't know

134
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: exactly what's going on with Henry. Well, we're going to

135
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: have to keep our ear to the beat reporters in

136
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: Tennessee to see what happens with him, whether he's limited anyway.

137
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: But like you said, Spears has looked decent in various

138
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: opportunities that he's gotten. And if anything, if this particular

139
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: injury pans out poorly for Henry, or if anything else

140
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: happens over the next couple of weeks, which we've seen

141
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: and happened recently with other big running backs. Spears would

142
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: be an absolute locked and loaded starter. He was unsurprisingly

143
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: excellent in relief on Sunday, took twenty two opportunities for

144
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: eighty eight yards. That's the kind of thing we've seen

145
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: from him when he's gotten chances. They're also the rest

146
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: of the season's schedule for them, Miami, Houston, Seattle, and Houston.

147
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: I think those were already looking intriguing for Spears because

148
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: they're likely to be high scoring affairs where the Titans

149
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: are heavy underdogs and they have to look to the

150
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: pass game more often, where Spears has been more used.

151
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: So again, if Henry misses any time or is limited

152
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: any way, Spears becomes a locked and loaded starter. If not,

153
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 3: he's a potential pinch hit flex and you want him

154
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: on your bench anyways, just in case.

155
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: I think I'm getting the pinch hit references in there

156
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: with the Angels memorabilia behind him. Yeah, speaking of backs,

157
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: who are gonna, you know, kind of be in fill

158
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: in duty right now, Zeke Elliott, it looks like Rimandre

159
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: Stevenson times against him this week with them playing on

160
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: Thursday night. What do you think of Zeke if he

161
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: gets to start.

162
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Unlike with Henry, this looks to me like we're

163
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: not going to see Ramandre certainly this week, maybe again

164
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: this season. It depends, of course, on the nature of

165
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: the spring he's got. It's also worth noting the Patriots

166
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: that don't have anything at all to compete for except

167
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: the number one pick right now, though it doesn't really

168
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: make sense to rush Stevenson back in any way. So

169
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: Zeke is the maybe the hottest commodity at the position.

170
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: This week. He's looked surprisingly good given his age, in

171
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: recent inefficiencies with the Cowboys, and how bad this offense is.

172
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: But I think he's going to be the undisputed lead

173
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: and likely bell cow back for this team down the stretch.

174
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: And he put up ninety two scrimmage yards once again

175
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: in that kind of relief position for when Stevenson went

176
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 3: out last week. That included forty yards through the air

177
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: on four catches, which is big and it is a

178
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 3: lot of how Ramandre Stevenson has been fantasy relevant in

179
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 3: this terrible offense. You have to be able to to

180
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 3: do that because they're not going to put up a

181
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: lot of points. They're not going to be able to

182
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: run on teams much, but if you can catch the ball,

183
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: you can put up fantasy points. So I think we

184
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 3: see that from Zeke. I think he has low mid

185
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 3: low to mid RB three floor because of the volume

186
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: with an RB two ceiling win Stevenson's out.

187
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: You know, when we talk about great fantasy QB duos

188
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: this year, I mean we got to talk about Dak

189
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: and CD, Jalen and AJ Brown two and Tyreek. We

190
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: got to talk about Joe Flacco and Elijah Moore because

191
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: apparently that's a thing now that they're together in Cleveland.

192
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: It is, and it's been a thing before, so maybe

193
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: we shouldn't be surprised about this. But yeah, Amari Cooper

194
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 3: left Sunday's game in the concussion protocol, and now Elijah

195
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 3: Moore's old flame, Joe Flacco is back in a quarterback

196
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: for the Browns as a result of that combination of circumstances.

197
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: Most likely, Moore had twelve targets for eighty three yards,

198
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: both season highs. It was his third game with twelve

199
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 3: plus fantasy points in the last four weeks, so he's

200
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: kind of been creeping in on waiver interest regardless. But now. Listen,

201
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: he's flashed talent all year. He's flashed talent throughout his

202
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: whole career, but for some reason, he just doesn't seem

203
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: to get used the way that we all think he should.

204
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 3: The one guy who seems willing to do that is

205
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco. He's in a quarterback whether or not Cooper

206
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: suits up this next week against the Jaguars. I think

207
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 3: you're rolling More out there as a fringe starter in PPR,

208
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: and if Cooper does miss time, I think More becomes

209
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 3: a fringe must start with legitimate eight ten catch upside,

210
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: and it's worth noting that he had those twelve fantasy

211
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 3: points and those eighty three yards on just four catches

212
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: on Sunday because of a really low catch rate. I

213
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: think if Flacco gets another week to work in and

214
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: the two of them get another week to work together,

215
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: we could see that come up, which means his fantasy

216
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: points come.

217
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: Up, moving to tight ends. We've only seen one game

218
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: of Isaiah Likely without Mark Andrews. It was more of

219
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: a floor game, but there's probably a lot more up,

220
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: so I Lely's think there is. How do you feel

221
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,479
Speaker 2: about Isaiah Likely o'cata.

222
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like him a lot, and I think to

223
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: your point, we saw six targets and eight fantasy points

224
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: in that game, the first game with Al Andrews, and

225
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: those did feel like floors, and those are great floors

226
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: for a tight end. We say this often in the

227
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: waiver segment. I say it off in the waiver column.

228
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: If you're gonna get six catches five catches and put

229
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: up eight to ten fantasy points as a floor, that

230
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: is going to be solid enough as a streamer tight end.

231
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 3: And we absolutely have seen Likely Likely put up higher

232
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 3: ceilings himself, and Andrews of course put up higher ceilings,

233
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: which means the opportunities there for Likely to do the same.

234
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 3: Baltimore was on bye week last week, so he may

235
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: be heavily available. Go take a look. They get the

236
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: Rams defense next week, who's been soft against tight ends

237
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: all year. I think Likely is as good a bed

238
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: as nearly anyone for five catches and fifty yards in

239
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: the position. And if you throws in a touchdown, you

240
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 3: have a great start.

241
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: One last one. We all talk a lot about defenses,

242
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: we talk about the waiver wire here, but the Colts,

243
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: you look at the next four games for them, and

244
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: it lines up pretty well. If you're talking about streaming

245
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: defenses are playing matchups. The Colts have about as good

246
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: as schedule as you could imagine right now.

247
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I begged our producer to let me throw this

248
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: defense in here, which we don't do that often because

249
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 3: of how crazy this is. This is what I wrote

250
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: in the column this week. If you have the Cowboys,

251
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: the Ravens, or maybe the Steelers, you can move on

252
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: and ignore what I'm saying. If you do not have

253
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: one of those three defenses, drop whoever you have and

254
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 3: pick up the Colts. They have scored double digit fantasy

255
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: points in four straight games, totaled sixty nine fantasy points

256
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 3: over that span, four plus sacks in each, nine takeaways,

257
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: three touchdowns in total in those games. And here is

258
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: that rest of the season's schedule you mentioned Marcus, the Jake

259
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: Browning Bengals, the Kenny Pickett slash Mitcheubisky Steelers don't even know,

260
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter. The desmon Ridder Falcons and the

261
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 3: Aiden O'Connell Raiders. I would not be surprised if they're

262
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 3: the number one DST rest of season.

263
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we were always trying to find great

264
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: matchups and this one, just four excellent matchups handed to

265
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: you on a silver platter. If you want more out
