Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros. This is the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. It is me Joey p Joe Pi Zapia,
Speaker 1: and it's time for Championship waiver week. That's right. Happy
Speaker 1: holidays everybody. It's a beautiful time, a lot of crazy football.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you had a kicker from Dallas that got a
Speaker 1: lot of points. You love when kickers decide fantasy football glory.
Speaker 1: You gotta love that. Stop playing with kickers, everybody. But
Speaker 1: we got some new quarterbacks this past weekend made some
Speaker 1: big impacts. I would think also too when you're looking
Speaker 1: at the standings, some really exciting games yet remaining, so
Speaker 1: a lot of teams with a lot to play for,
Speaker 1: which is good for the NFL, good for fantasy FITZI.
Speaker 1: It's such a wild close two week sixteen. You were
Speaker 1: telling me before the show you had Jonathan Taylor in
Speaker 1: two leagues remaining. One obviously you won with him, and
Speaker 1: the other you lost. And that is insane. What a
Speaker 1: crazy sunday we just came off of.
Speaker 2: No, Joe, that's actually not correct. I was in two
Speaker 2: games involving Jonathan Taylor. I had him in a league
Speaker 2: and lost. Wow, I was going and going against him
Speaker 2: in a league and won.
Speaker 1: That's what it was. So I tried the league.
Speaker 2: The league where I was going against him, the manager
Speaker 2: I was going against also a Jalen Hurts, so I
Speaker 2: guess that sort of netted out evenly. And the league
Speaker 2: where I had him, I just played a team that
Speaker 2: like everything clicked for them, and I just I had
Speaker 2: a good week and just lost to a team that
Speaker 2: scored an avalanche points.
Speaker 1: This is what happened sometimes. And I know when Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts got hurt de bro his Sunday was over the
Speaker 1: rest of the day. He was texting me at like
Speaker 1: one oh five, Well I'm done is misery. I was right,
Speaker 1: you had a great run. You had a great run
Speaker 1: unfortunately out of that last league together.
Speaker 3: So trying to Joe not first to last.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but look, this is what it's all about, man.
Speaker 1: We're trying to help everybody else whin. There's still some
Speaker 1: names on the way. Look, last week was tons of
Speaker 1: streaming quarterbacks, very important, So we're gonna get to some
Speaker 1: more of those potentially today. For you. We saw Michael
Speaker 1: Pennis play was a Mason Rudolph put up points. I
Speaker 1: told you, but up at least fifteen and he did.
Speaker 1: Was it pretty No, of course not. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter points or points, and that's what we're searching for
Speaker 1: in this last week and we're trying to make good
Speaker 1: decisions also, So let's just jump right in with the
Speaker 1: quarterbacks here, FITZI, I want to talk about Michael Pennix.
Speaker 1: It felt like yesterday the playbook sort of opened up
Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Falcons a little bit. He also learned
Speaker 1: the hard lesson of don't throw the ball to Kyle
Speaker 1: Pitts because only bad things can happen. No.
Speaker 2: Yes, you saw the arm talent with Pennix. I mean,
Speaker 2: he man, can that guy spin it like? He has
Speaker 2: just unbelievable arm talent. Also, two things he was very
Speaker 2: good at in college sack in interception avoidance, two things
Speaker 2: that Kirk Cousins was not real good at. So this
Speaker 2: was definitely a warranted move for them. And I think
Speaker 2: you could play Pennix this week against the Commanders. Not
Speaker 2: an ideal matchup, but he is widely available, and you know,
Speaker 2: I think he's one of the better streaming options available,
Speaker 2: if not the best one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pennick certainly confident, I would say, is what I
Speaker 1: would say a confident in the pocket too, which is good.
Speaker 1: That's what you want to see. First starts can be
Speaker 1: a little shaky out. Granted, the opponent was the New
Speaker 1: York Football Giant, so that certainly would make most people comfortable.
Speaker 1: But regardless, Washington a much bigger test of this week.
Speaker 1: So do you think he's up for that? Because Washington
Speaker 1: coming off a huge win here, do you think that
Speaker 1: where as he a more challenged Penix this week? Yeah?
Speaker 2: The only thing is Joe, Like, I don't think he's
Speaker 2: going to put up big numbers because I don't think
Speaker 2: Atlanta wants him throwing it forty times. Okay, so maybe
Speaker 2: if you have to stream, I mean, you might actually
Speaker 2: be better off with Mason Rudolph, the aforementioned Mason Rudolph
Speaker 2: who gets a great matchup against the Jaguars. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: for him, like forty pass attempts is in play, and
Speaker 2: for Penix it probably isn't. So maybe Mason is the
Speaker 2: better streamer. But Mason could also you know, yesterday we
Speaker 2: got two touchdown passes and three interceptions for Mason Rudolph.
Speaker 2: Could it could be one touchdown in four interceptions and
Speaker 2: then you're probably not too excited that you started him.
Speaker 1: Probably not. Let's go to another quarterback worthy of streaming.
Speaker 1: This week, I finally got back on track with the
Speaker 1: upset special and betting pros Carolina Panthers prevail. Yay, what
Speaker 1: the old Panthers roar. Let's talk about the Bryce Young
Speaker 1: another guy too playing loose. You know, he took a
Speaker 1: shot yesterday in that game and he bounced back up
Speaker 1: and he was smiling. And that's a big part of
Speaker 1: I think development the NFL is guy starting to feel
Speaker 1: comfortable again with the speed of the game, with the
Speaker 1: impact of the game at that level, it looks like
Speaker 1: Bryce Young starting to settle in the matchup coming up
Speaker 1: this week is against Tampa and certainly that secondary continues
Speaker 1: to be one that you could score fantasy points against.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joey And the other thing we're seeing ada Bryce
Speaker 3: Young looking at streaming in this week is he's running.
Speaker 3: We've got He's got at least twenty rushing yards in
Speaker 3: three of his last five games. And yeah, the Buccaneers
Speaker 3: pass defense, Like in the primer of this last week,
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, they're improving, and then they go
Speaker 3: out and allow two hundred and ninety two passing yards
Speaker 3: and eight point three yards per attempt to Cooper Rush,
Speaker 3: and I was.
Speaker 4: Like, ah, they suck again.
Speaker 1: So never mind, we're streaming Bryce Young all right, let's
Speaker 1: get to the running back streamers before we do. It's
Speaker 1: the most wonderful time of the year. It's the time
Speaker 1: for getting all the hoops of football and the hockey

Speaker 1: Let's get to the running backs, d bro. Let's start
Speaker 1: with your side here, because I know we were talking
Speaker 1: about looking ahead to the running back position. I know
Speaker 1: tonight we're gonna get the guy that you want to
Speaker 1: talk about. But barring anything of receipt tonight and injury
Speaker 1: obviously being the significant thing that could always pop up,
Speaker 1: especially when you play for the Saints, what are your
Speaker 1: thoughts next week for Kendre Miller playing against the Las
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 3: I mean, hopefully we're recording this before the Monday night game.
Speaker 3: Hopefully he's the guy that's getting the workhorse volume. He's
Speaker 3: getting all the snaps, which we saw after Kamara was
Speaker 3: gone last week that was the case. So projecting that forward,
Speaker 3: hoping we don't see too much Jamal Williams. But if
Speaker 3: he is the workhorse back going against the Raiders, I
Speaker 3: mean he's gonna get the touches. The matchup is great,
Speaker 3: and Kendre this year, on a per touch basis, it's
Speaker 3: been really stinking good man. Thirty six percent mistackle rate,
Speaker 3: two point nine to six yards of to contact per attempt.
Speaker 3: He's gonna snif fifteen to seventeen opportunities in that game
Speaker 3: against the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Probably gonna be an RB two. All right, So there
Speaker 1: you go, another RB two potentially this week. Another guy
Speaker 1: too deep ro before the show was talking about the
Speaker 1: James Connor issue there. But Trey Benson another guy who
Speaker 1: might be streamable this week. Let's talk about him in
Speaker 1: that matchup he has against the Rams.
Speaker 2: FITZI if he plays Joe, yeah, that's the key. And
Speaker 2: if Benson returns and people who want to pick up
Speaker 2: a streaming running back for this week are gonna have
Speaker 2: to pick close attention to the injury reports out of
Speaker 2: Arizona because Trey Benson missed Week sixteen with an ankle injury.
Speaker 2: But if he comes back, he should get a lot
Speaker 2: of work for a team. And that's the thing that
Speaker 2: concerns me about Kendre Miller, Like can Spencer Rattler moved
Speaker 2: the offense keep the chains moving, because if they can't
Speaker 2: pick up first downs, it's not going to be a
Speaker 2: good day for Kendra Miller no matter who they're playing.
Speaker 2: And I'm certainly concerned about that for anyone who has
Speaker 2: Kendre Miller tonight against the Packers, because I think they're
Speaker 2: going to have a hard time in Chile lambeau Field
Speaker 2: with Spencer Ratler at quarterback. We're not going to have
Speaker 2: that with Kyler Murray. Like we know, Arizona's going to
Speaker 2: get a little bit of offense, they're gonna be able
Speaker 2: to generate first downs and scores. So if Trey Benson
Speaker 2: doesn't play this week, if it's like a high ankle
Speaker 2: and he's not able to go all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: Michael Carter remember him, Jets fans, he becomes sort of interesting.
Speaker 2: They activated him from the practice squad and sort of
Speaker 2: we're playing him yesterday over DJ Dallas in that game
Speaker 2: against the Panthers.
Speaker 1: You know, it's week seventeen when we start talking about
Speaker 1: these guys. So there you go, Michael Carter, DJ Dallas.
Speaker 1: What's the world coming to? Let's get to the wide receivers. Fitzie,
Speaker 1: what'd you make from Jalen McMillen's performance last night and
Speaker 1: how does that carry over potentially for you against Carolina?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's good.
Speaker 1: Hey, if you go back and you watch all those
Speaker 1: stupid draft shows we did, man back in August, how
Speaker 1: many Jalen McMillan shares did I drafted? And of course
Speaker 1: in real life edged the same thing and I dropped him.
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden the last couple weeks
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, it finally comes to fruition.
Speaker 1: So it's nice to know the process is good, but man,
Speaker 1: it's frustrating to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and hat tip to our guy Deebro who was
Speaker 2: saying all along that Jalen McMillan was a better prospect
Speaker 2: than Jalen Polk and we have seen that come to
Speaker 2: fruition big time. So yeah, McMillan is tied to a
Speaker 2: good quarterback. He seems to be number two in the
Speaker 2: target pecking order now behind Mike Evans, but there is
Speaker 2: still enough leftover, especially with cad Otten hurt for the Buccaneers,
Speaker 2: and the matchup against the Panthers is good. So I
Speaker 2: do think McMillan is the best available wide receiver this week.
Speaker 1: All right, So McMillan in there. I know another guy
Speaker 1: that we talked about last week we're gonna drag over
Speaker 1: this week, Romeo Dobbs. Matchup next week against Minnesota, and
Speaker 1: Dobbs has been able to find the end zone. We'll
Speaker 1: see what he does tonight on Monday Night Football. But
Speaker 1: Debro it does seem like Dobbs and Love have a connection.
Speaker 1: Love starting to play very well. The Packers as a
Speaker 1: team right now starting to play very well. Also.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to the outline before FITZI, so I
Speaker 3: was able to grab the Packers guy.
Speaker 4: So good times for me.
Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs, man, I mean like we've seen his Viking
Speaker 3: secondary giving up more production in the last few weeks,
Speaker 3: and the coverage matchup really leans in its favor for
Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs. I mean, we've got a Minnesota secondary of
Speaker 3: running the highest two high rate of the season since
Speaker 3: Week seven. Dobbs twenty six percent target per route run rate,
Speaker 3: almost two point zero yards per route run. He should
Speaker 3: be the number one option for Jordan Love against the secondary.
Speaker 1: Okay, so look for Romeo Dobbs, Jalen McMillan if they're
Speaker 1: still on the waiver wire. And look, some of these
Speaker 1: guys ross percenter are still low. A lot of teams
Speaker 1: didn't want to make moves or who did want the
Speaker 1: decision making process of having to choose between the guy
Speaker 1: you're streaming off the waiver wire and the players that
Speaker 1: got you there. But look, this is about winning at
Speaker 1: the end of the day. And if you need a
Speaker 1: wide receiver three or add some injuries or flex some
Speaker 1: of these guys Benson McMillan, Romeo Dobbs, maybe even Kendre
Speaker 1: Miller might all be pretty useful. There. Also useful is
Speaker 1: at this time, you know, when you're starting a field,
Speaker 1: maybe not like yourself. You might have a situation called
Speaker 1: low testosterone and in effects about thirty percent of adult
Speaker 1: men in America. And if you're feeling drag and fatigue,
Speaker 1: it might not just be the winter season, it might
Speaker 1: be something more serious and if you're noticing a dip
Speaker 1: in muscle mass or sensing a slump and libido. If so,
Speaker 1: it's time to get your testosterone levels checked and tested.
Speaker 1: And if you have low TE Kaisa Trex is an
Speaker 1: FDA approved pill that's changing the game in the testosterone
Speaker 1: replacement therapy. In fact, Kaisa Treks restore testosterone level in
Speaker 1: nearly nine out of ten clinical study participants, and its
Speaker 1: unique formula is bypassing the liver to avoid any damage there.
Speaker 1: So it's time to break free from injections, pellets and jails.
Speaker 1: Choose Kaisa Trecks and take the step towards being the
Speaker 1: hero of your life again. To see if you qualify,
Speaker 1: is it kaisatrex dot com or take the low T
Speaker 1: quiz today. That's k y z A t r e
Speaker 1: x dot com Kaisa trex dot com. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a look at the next position on our docket.
Speaker 1: The tight ends always a tricky one, de bro, where
Speaker 1: do you want to go for your Championship week streaming
Speaker 1: tight end corner?
Speaker 3: Zach ertz Man the number two in the Washington Commander's
Speaker 3: passing attack when he's been fully healthy. I was surprised
Speaker 3: he played last week Clear and concussion protocol barely got
Speaker 3: in there. But this week Look talked about Pinix and
Speaker 3: talked about that game already. We hadn't even mentioned Jane
Speaker 3: Daniels being him and what he did last week. I mean,
Speaker 3: how many questions did we get on the stream Joey
Speaker 3: about Daniels.
Speaker 1: I start Jane Daniels like nothing you should have seen
Speaker 1: sundlay then about everything was either Deebo sand or like, look,
Speaker 1: play Deebo Sam like you're trying to like and just
Speaker 1: just play the talent at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: Just play the talent. Like if it's being a talented
Speaker 1: guy and a terrible guy, but the talented guy's coming
Speaker 1: off a bad game or a couple of bad games,
Speaker 1: just just try to play the talent. But the Jane
Speaker 1: Daniels thing too shocking, Like the only guy the ones
Speaker 1: that were closer with the Joe Burrow ones and Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow been such a hot streak was six straight games
Speaker 1: with two fifty or more and three touchdowns. The only
Speaker 1: got to do that was Brady Ever and then Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: So I get that question, but that was a game
Speaker 1: too FITSI where there was a couple. It was a
Speaker 1: couple of games like that this weekend where Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: was like, enough is enough, you know, I'm tired of
Speaker 1: this nonsense. And they they beat the pants off of
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers and then the Washington Commanders. I talked
Speaker 1: about this on Betting Pros and this was a really
Speaker 1: interesting measuring stick game and I was fascinated to see
Speaker 1: what the Commanders would do. Now, granted, can you Pikett
Speaker 1: not Jalen Hurts? Okay, Like I get that. I get
Speaker 1: that's a big part of the equation, But at w's
Speaker 1: a W at the end of the day, and that
Speaker 1: was a huge There a lot of those kind of
Speaker 1: statement games for some franchises, and the Vikings too, I
Speaker 1: make no mistake. I think for Sam Darnold that was
Speaker 1: another huge win on the road. Man, they just keep
Speaker 1: winning football games. Fitzy, let's talk about side end from
Speaker 1: your perspective. Who is streamable in week seventeen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe is a fantasy baseball guy. I know you
Speaker 2: are familiar with the term post hype sleeper. And remember
Speaker 2: not long ago when there was some hype about Chigaconquo
Speaker 2: maybe being an up and coming tight end who we
Speaker 2: would be excited about using for fantasy, and that fizzled
Speaker 2: out and everyone kind of left Chig for dead. Well,
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph has all of a sudden turned Chig into
Speaker 2: his favorite targets in Tennessee. Over the last two weeks,
Speaker 2: Chick has been targeted twenty one times double digit targets
Speaker 2: each of his last two games, seventeen catches for one
Speaker 2: hundred and forty yards. Like he is being turned into,
Speaker 2: like ahead of Calvin Ridley, the top target in the
Speaker 2: Tennessee offense. I think you can play against the Jaguars
Speaker 2: this week. The matchup isn't bad at.
Speaker 1: All, all right, So there you go, Chick a conquo
Speaker 1: second life. I love this the post hype guys in
Speaker 1: week seventeen. Why not? Sounds like a fun time to me.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk a little bit about the defensive
Speaker 1: side of the football here and then we'll get to
Speaker 1: the kickers. I'm saving the kickers for a last today, FITZI.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Dolphins here for you, because that's
Speaker 1: on your list. The Dolphins take on Cleveland. You saw
Speaker 1: Dorian Thompson Robinson, who's gonna get a little bit of
Speaker 1: an audition. Do you think they saw enough yesterday. I'm
Speaker 1: just curious, or do you think they're gonna give him
Speaker 1: another game or two to just kind of evaluate what's
Speaker 1: on the roster.
Speaker 2: They don't want to win games Joe in Cleveland. So
Speaker 2: I think they're going to start DTR again this week,
Speaker 2: and like, this is a guy we want to target.
Speaker 2: In his four starts now over his career for the Browns,
Speaker 2: the Browns have scored three, thirteen, twelve, and six points
Speaker 2: and in one hundred and eighty career pass attempts, DTR
Speaker 2: has averaged just three point nine yards per attempt and
Speaker 2: there are turnovers and sacks to be had here too.
Speaker 2: Miami is like my number two defense for this week overall,
Speaker 2: not just streaming overall.
Speaker 1: Wow, Well, they came out with a good performance yesterday
Speaker 1: against the San Francisco and San Francisco still has you know,
Speaker 1: you know a few playmakers left that are healthy. Fun
Speaker 1: fact too, Rock Party had more rushing yards this year
Speaker 1: than Christian McCaffrey. I just thought that was fun. I
Speaker 1: saw that yesterday. Wow, my TV shirt together Dad, I
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, wow, you want perspective of
Speaker 1: how twenty twenty four kicks some people right in the pants.
Speaker 1: That's one for you, because if I told you like
Speaker 1: those four weeks, you'd be like, oh no, it's a
Speaker 1: maccafrey right now. No, it's rock party, all right. I
Speaker 1: don't want to press anybody further. It's the holidays. Everyone's
Speaker 1: miserable enough. Let's get to the other streaming defense of
Speaker 1: the week, Debro, Who do you have?
Speaker 3: People want to be depressed, Just watch Giants football. That's
Speaker 3: what we're gonna stream the Indianapolis called defense this week. Baby,
Speaker 3: just keep on rolling it. Whoever's whoever's playing the Giants done.
Speaker 1: That's my defense. Just New York football in general. Yep,
Speaker 1: just New York football across the board. Yeah, there's much enigma.
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear what is going on. And
Speaker 1: I told everybody everyone was away excited yesterday. Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: looks so good last again. He's like, bro, He's been
Speaker 1: playing in Florida for the last two weeks. It's six
Speaker 1: degreesier this morning when I woke up in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Is cold. Old people like me and Aaron Rodgers like
Speaker 1: going out in the cold. Yeah, Fitzy's tough, he could
Speaker 1: take it. He's of that.
Speaker 3: There at four am, like shoveling his front and shoveling
Speaker 3: the front shirtless.
Speaker 1: There he's got the cheese head on and the top.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: Just a scarf, that's it. That's all he's got shirtless
Speaker 1: out there. The snow Joe is running out there in
Speaker 1: the front yard giving the finger to the Bears fan
Speaker 1: across the street. Oh goodness, courageous to get to the
Speaker 1: kickers because we have to. And apparently kicking is important
Speaker 1: from what we learned last night. At least Debro give
Speaker 1: me a streaming kicker for Week seventeen.
Speaker 3: Oh, Will Lutts against the Bengals should be at least
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say a full bounce back game
Speaker 3: for this Denver offense, but against I mean the Bengals
Speaker 3: defense is kind of the get right alixer for a
Speaker 3: lot of different offenses. Will Lutts kicker nine and fantasy
Speaker 3: points per game in the season two.
Speaker 1: All right, so Lut's in there against Cincy and FITZI
Speaker 1: give me a kicker for the week.
Speaker 2: Let's go with a different will. It's good will toward
Speaker 2: men with streaming kickers. This week. Will record in Minnesota
Speaker 2: against the Packers. Look, this is the time of year
Speaker 2: where we are looking for indoor kickers, and rekerd gets
Speaker 2: to be an indoor cat at home against the Packers
Speaker 2: in week sixteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let me add Jared Goff to that list too,
Speaker 1: of like, I'm going to stick it up your rear end,
Speaker 1: I mean, Lamar Goff, like all these guys with something
Speaker 1: to prove Bryce Young a little bit like all that
Speaker 1: really good. It was a fun weekend of prove it football,
Speaker 1: especially from the quarterback position, because look, the numbers don't lie.
Speaker 1: Jared Goff outdoors, stop being great. Jared Goff yesterday pretty great?
Speaker 1: That play too? How fun was that? Fake fake y?
Speaker 1: And credit to Ben Johnson, the coordinator, who saw it
Speaker 1: happen in the Packer game and they was like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at that. I wonder if we could do that,
Speaker 1: And apparently ask Goff, can you actually fumble the ball?
Speaker 1: And Goff's like, what are you crazy? He's like, that's
Speaker 1: a dumbest thing I've heard. Gof's like, I'll pretend to fall,
Speaker 1: but I'm not fake fumbling for you and picking it
Speaker 1: up and trying to throw. That's a terrible idea. It's like,
Speaker 1: why don't you go back here these guys chasing you
Speaker 1: three hundred pounds and see how you like fumble the football.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the top Waiver Wire ads

Speaker 1: it's signed to win it all. Give me the top
Speaker 1: five guys that might help people do that in Week seventeen.
Speaker 2: Trey Benson number one, but with an asterisk. If you
Speaker 2: are looking to stream and running back this week, you
Speaker 2: are going to have to bird dog the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 2: injury news early in the week to make sure that
Speaker 2: Benson is going to be available. If he is, He's
Speaker 2: a really nice play this week, filling in presumably for
Speaker 2: James Connor, who we don't expect to see in week seventeen.
Speaker 2: At number two, Kendre Miller. I do have concerns about
Speaker 2: the quarterback and his ability to move the offense, but
Speaker 2: you know Derek lead receivers or lead running backs widely available.
Speaker 1: He is won.
Speaker 2: Jalen McMillan number three. Number four, Gus Edwards, who look
Speaker 2: I mean Gus is a between the tackles grinder, but
Speaker 2: he got into the end zone twice this past week.
Speaker 2: He's going to get double digit carries this week against
Speaker 2: a bad New England Patriots run defense. He's got a
Speaker 2: pretty sturdy floor. And number five Alexander Madison. I might
Speaker 2: pivot to the other guy in Las Vegas. In a
Speaker 2: full point PPR league, I'll let debro talk about him,
Speaker 2: But in standard or half point PPR, I think I
Speaker 2: would prefer Madison. Not A bad play this week against
Speaker 2: Jacksonville gives up a lot of points to running backs.
Speaker 1: All Right, debro Let's line up the top five here
Speaker 1: for week seventeen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've been some plays. He's the top out
Speaker 3: of the week, but I'd worry that we probably don't
Speaker 3: see him this week. But it's questionable seeing as he
Speaker 3: didn't practice at all last week. But we'll see if
Speaker 3: he is available, he is the top out of the week.
Speaker 3: If not, Kendre Miller should be the top guy. Number
Speaker 3: two or three, depending on how you're ordering. This guy
Speaker 3: would be Jalen McMillan. Alexander Madison would be third on
Speaker 3: my list or fourth depending considering it. Look at the Raiders'
Speaker 3: backfield is gross. I'm not telling people that it's not,
Speaker 3: but Madison to getting the early down work and a
Speaker 3: mir Abdullah sneak it into my top five. Ride after him.
Speaker 3: Both these guys are sniffing ten to twelve opportunities. Both
Speaker 3: of them have touchdown equity in this offense. You're just
Speaker 3: looking at who's the early down guy playing the game
Speaker 3: script in that Saints game, or who's going to catch
Speaker 3: the passes. It's like FITZI was talking about Abdullah, maybe
Speaker 3: you want to go for him in a PPR league.
Speaker 3: And the last guy I'll mentioned here on the list
Speaker 3: I talked about him earlier is Romeo Dobbs.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there you go. Those are the top five.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got to make sure you take a look at
Speaker 1: the waiver Wire rankings two over a fantasybros dot com
