Speaker 1: Friends Forever and I am Frank Stafell have a fun
Speaker 1: show planned for you today. You're gonna recap last night's game,
Speaker 1: a barn burner between the Seattle Seahawks and the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners. The formerly undefeated San Francisco forty Niners
Speaker 1: also going to be taking a deep dive into the
Speaker 1: waiver wire today running backs, wide receivers QB streams, tight
Speaker 1: end streams, defensive streams. And to help me do that,
Speaker 1: my good buddy, e Why Eric Young? What's going on you? Why? Frankie?
Speaker 1: Another beautiful day in Nashville. When I say beautiful, uh,
Speaker 1: it's frozen, it's snowed a little bit. People are panicking
Speaker 1: and not going to work. It's absolutely hilarious for a
Speaker 1: person that lived in Canada. Um, I mean it's wild.
Speaker 1: It's it's some people, it's armageddon. The sun is shining,
Speaker 1: it is cold outside, but there's no snow on the road.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess there could be a little bit
Speaker 1: of ice, but it's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 1: If you never hear from me again, then you know
Speaker 1: that the cold weather and snow has killed me. And
Speaker 1: it was nice to know you. I'm sure that there
Speaker 1: is nothing in this world that can kill you, e y,
Speaker 1: especially not the cold weather and snow. As you mentioned
Speaker 1: being from Canada yourself, UM, I would imagine this is
Speaker 1: what Parts on No One looks like, right. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean I talked about being from Nashville every day, but
Speaker 1: Parts of no is awesome, hilarious and old school wrestling.
Speaker 1: I love it, um and yeah, and I do have
Speaker 1: a theory about living forever. Too strong, too too rare
Speaker 1: to live too strange to die. That's that's my moniker.
Speaker 1: So you're just gonna join Frank go or in that
Speaker 1: you are the infinity Stone. Yeah yeah, yeah, he's he's
Speaker 1: losing power and I'm gaining it. Yeah, that's what it
Speaker 1: looks like right now, right Greg Sussman, All he had
Speaker 1: to do was go to Nashville and he brings the
Speaker 1: cold weather in the snow with him. Huh is that
Speaker 1: how this works? You? Yeah? Well, the offer of dinner
Speaker 1: and drinks and and and uh a good time to
Speaker 1: night is just basically a lure to trap him here
Speaker 1: and uh take out the cold weather on on Greg
Speaker 1: and his beautiful new wife. Honestly, I was half hoping
Speaker 1: that he would have been there already and he would
Speaker 1: just like come running into the room and start the show.
Speaker 1: But it's all right, you know, there's there are other
Speaker 1: things that I can waste wishes on for the rest
Speaker 1: of my lifetime. You y, that doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: one of them. But no, I mean it would have
Speaker 1: been It would have been cool. I didn't think about it.
Speaker 1: But I mean they're they're they're having fun their downtown, uh,
Speaker 1: sight seeing and checking out Nashville and gonna gonna head
Speaker 1: out to Franklin, Tennessee, my hometown, just this basically suburb
Speaker 1: of Nashville, and uh, we'll get a little sideways to
Speaker 1: night see what happens. Yeah, I'm sure frank Stanfeld and
Speaker 1: the fantasy BFFs is the furthest thing on the mind
Speaker 1: of Greg Sussman and his new wife. So I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna bother him with any of that. But I do
Speaker 1: want to recap some of last night's game. E y,
Speaker 1: this was an awesome game for people that have been
Speaker 1: complaining about Monday night football and prime time and why
Speaker 1: don't we ever get good games? I mean, this was
Speaker 1: an awesome game. A lot of back and forth. We
Speaker 1: saw a defense on both sides. Here the Seattle Seahawks
Speaker 1: end up pulling this one out twenty four. You can argue,
Speaker 1: you know, some questionable play calling. I think on both sides.
Speaker 1: You know, people are talking about Kyle Shanahan should have
Speaker 1: been more aggressive, you know, going back to his days
Speaker 1: when he was the o C of the Atlanta Falcons, right,
Speaker 1: seemed like that's something that's always really hampered him. But
Speaker 1: on the other side, I mean, Seattle Seahawks were driving
Speaker 1: in overtime and Russell Wilson throws an interception that wasn't
Speaker 1: necessary either, So I think you can bash both sides here.
Speaker 1: But ultimately a really, really fun game. And I know
Speaker 1: that the loser, Chris Ventra, is going to die on
Speaker 1: the hill of Jimmy Garoppolo no matter what. And I
Speaker 1: will say this his wide receivers. Last night, we're bad.
Speaker 1: They presented the splits that while Emmanuel Sanders was in
Speaker 1: the game, um Garoppolo looked a lot better. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: completion percentage was up, he didn't have any turnovers once
Speaker 1: he went out. I know, an interception off the hands
Speaker 1: of Kendrick Boorne, but I will say this, on that
Speaker 1: final drive in regulation, Jimmy Garoppolo threw about three passes
Speaker 1: into the chest of Seattle Seahawks defenders that should have
Speaker 1: been intercepted. And I tweeted this out last night drink
Speaker 1: it looked like and as a Jet fan, I know
Speaker 1: I know what this looks like. It looks to me
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Garoppolo was seeing some ghosts last night. You yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna forever live on in the lexicon
Speaker 1: of fantasy football. The ghost maybe Sam Donald's greatest contribution
Speaker 1: to football so far and which is wrong. But I
Speaker 1: mean the game was great. I mean you can question
Speaker 1: the play calling, uh not being super aggressive. Both defenses
Speaker 1: looked up to the task except for catching the ball.
Speaker 1: That throw two Born. I mean he had both of
Speaker 1: his hands on it. As an NFL wide receiver, you
Speaker 1: have to catch that ball. Like, I'm not catching that ball.
Speaker 1: I can't even jump that high. I can barely hold
Speaker 1: onto a football with one hand. Um, but even he
Speaker 1: got both hands on it, He's got to come down
Speaker 1: with that. So uh, I mean, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't have a dog in that fight. Was kind of
Speaker 1: hoping that San Francisco was gonna win. I like them.
Speaker 1: I love the defense, UH, have always liked Shanahan, loved
Speaker 1: the defensive coach on the San Francisco. Uh. San Francisco side,
Speaker 1: and I do Um, I'm not gonna you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna bet the farm on Jimmy Garoppolo, but I
Speaker 1: do like him as a quarterback, especially in that system.
Speaker 1: But he's gonna get some help from his wide receivers. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: they were just brutal. It wasn't just Kendrick Born. Mark
Speaker 1: He's good when dropped a few passes Deebo Samuel as
Speaker 1: great of a night that he had, he dropped the
Speaker 1: pivotal pass as well. So the wide receiver's gotta get better.
Speaker 1: I understand no George Kittle last night. Emmanuel Sanders left
Speaker 1: early in that game, so you kind of give Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo the benefit of the doubt. But there were times
Speaker 1: last night where he did look shaky. Again that final
Speaker 1: driving regulation, he should have thrown three interceptions on that
Speaker 1: drive alone. The backfield situation for he for the forty
Speaker 1: nine si e y just super frustrating. Once again. Tevin
Speaker 1: Coleman forty one snaps where heee mostered eighteen snaps. Matt
Speaker 1: Brida twenty four snaps. Matt Brita reaggravated his ankle injury. Surprise, surprise.
Speaker 1: You know what that means. He'll be back in week
Speaker 1: eleven and he'll probably rush for two hundred yards because
Speaker 1: that's what it seems like happens every single time Matt
Speaker 1: Breeda gets hurt, is he bounces back the next week
Speaker 1: and he's even better. I will say this when it
Speaker 1: comes to seven Coleman, since that four touchdown game against
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers, he has just a hundred and five
Speaker 1: total yards in two games and zero touchdowns, So this
Speaker 1: is a very fluid situation. I will say if Matt
Speaker 1: Brita cannot play in Week eleven against the Arizona Cardinals,
Speaker 1: then Tevin Coleman is going to be a very very
Speaker 1: popular play and and Raheem Mostard is going to be
Speaker 1: a valuable pick up as well. I gotta pay attention
Speaker 1: to Matt Brita. I saw it just before the show started.
Speaker 1: He could be in line to miss some time. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll finish wrapping up this game, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the Waiver Wire the Fantasy BFFs on the
Speaker 1: sports Crade TV network. Are you ready for the nation's
Speaker 1: first and only free, twenty four hour network dedicated to you,
Speaker 1: the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Grade will provide

Speaker 1: hours a day here to serve you the fanatic. This
Speaker 1: is sports Gride. Get on the Grid. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Best Friends Forever live on the Sports Grade
Speaker 1: TV network ZOMO Channel seven nineteen, the Stern Network, as
Speaker 1: well recapping last night's game between the Seahawks and the
Speaker 1: forty Niners. The Seahawks pull it off seven to twenty
Speaker 1: four in overtime. I just wanted to hit on a
Speaker 1: few more topics here, e y, and I think it
Speaker 1: leads right into the waiver wire discussion as well. Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Sanders dealing with this rib injury and without him on
Speaker 1: the field, we saw Deebo Samuel go eight for one
Speaker 1: twelve that those are both career high so far on
Speaker 1: career rookie obviously eleven targets of the target share of
Speaker 1: his one and twelve receiving yards seventy one yards after contact.
Speaker 1: And you've heard people talk about this that Deebo Samuel
Speaker 1: is a running back. He has a power back once
Speaker 1: he has the ball on his hands, and he saw
Speaker 1: that last night. And I think Kyle Shanahan is one
Speaker 1: of these smarter offensive coordinators. He knows how to get
Speaker 1: the most out of his weapons. And I think throwing
Speaker 1: those short screen passes to Debo and just letting him
Speaker 1: do work after the catch make a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: E y, how interested are you going to be in
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel this week when setting up your waiver wire
Speaker 1: claims considering that right now it looks like Emmanuel Sanders
Speaker 1: could potentially miss some time with his ribb injury. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if he's not owned, I feel like you do have
Speaker 1: to go after him uh some more by weeks this week. Uh.
Speaker 1: And Deebo Samuel is built, I mean and made a
Speaker 1: skill set, wise, body type everything for this style of
Speaker 1: of offense. I mean obviously, um, you just said that
Speaker 1: the stat of of the yards after the catch is
Speaker 1: huge in this guy's game. Uh. And Sanders not being there,
Speaker 1: I feel like Deebo Sable becomes the one. And I
Speaker 1: do want to pour a little bit out for for Pettis,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, what what on earth happened? This is?
Speaker 1: This is a guy that was supposed to be the
Speaker 1: number one in San Francisco. Uh, I believe was drafted
Speaker 1: that way. Uh in the in the off season, I've
Speaker 1: got him on a ton of best balls and he's
Speaker 1: been useless, completely useless. I think that they threw at
Speaker 1: him once last night and he didn't catch it. It
Speaker 1: was behind him. But I mean what happened? What happened
Speaker 1: to Pettis? You know, e y, I wish I had
Speaker 1: the answer, because I too was a Dante Pettis supporter.
Speaker 1: Anyone who watches or listens to this show knows that
Speaker 1: I was talking of Dante Pettis in the off season,
Speaker 1: in the draft season, and this was a guy that
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, you know, road to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Championships last year. You know, he really came on
Speaker 1: strong in that final month of the season. I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened. I know that throughout training camp there
Speaker 1: was something going on between him and Kyle Shanahan. Either
Speaker 1: he wasn't picking up on the offense or he wasn't
Speaker 1: giving it his full effort, because you know, he was
Speaker 1: playing deep into these preseason games. And ultimately it just
Speaker 1: hasn't worked out. Because even in a game when Emmanuel
Speaker 1: Sanders leaves with an injury and you have Kendrick Borne
Speaker 1: dropping passes here, you have Marquees Goodwin dropping passes on
Speaker 1: the other side of the field, you would think that
Speaker 1: that's a perfect opportunity to get Dante Pettis involved. It's
Speaker 1: just a weird situation because I think what we saw
Speaker 1: last year in the final month was not a fluke.
Speaker 1: I think that this guy can actually play in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and I think it's an interesting juxtaposition here. He I
Speaker 1: to see that both Dante Pettison Christian Kirk were drafted
Speaker 1: in a similar range throughout throughout the draft season, in
Speaker 1: that six seventh eighth round range in drafts. And look
Speaker 1: at what Christian Kirk just did over a hundred yards
Speaker 1: in three touchdowns and Dante pettis out here dropping passes,
Speaker 1: not even playing. So uh, I think it's it's a
Speaker 1: fair question, and I'm not sure that anyone has the answer,
Speaker 1: but there's definitely something going on behind the scenes between
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis. Maybe it's involving Garoppolo, Kyle Sanahan, whatever it
Speaker 1: might be. On the other side of the football, Chris
Speaker 1: Carson another twenty five carry game last night. Two d
Speaker 1: carries now on the season, that is second in the NFL. Again,
Speaker 1: you drafted Chris Carson in the third fourth round of
Speaker 1: your fantasy drafts. You've just been reaping the rewards all
Speaker 1: season long. As much as we've wanted Rashad Penny to
Speaker 1: be a thing, and usually we criticize Pete Carroll for
Speaker 1: for you know, just playing the best players. You know,
Speaker 1: last year, a lot of people drafted Rashad Penny because
Speaker 1: he was their first round pick, and he said, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the best players. And that's exactly what
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll has done. And and kudos you stick to
Speaker 1: your guns, Pete Carroll, because Chris Carson has been phenomenal
Speaker 1: both of the Seahawks and for fantasy football purposes. This
Speaker 1: brings us to the the injury to Tyler Lockett here
Speaker 1: e y and he left this game late dealing with
Speaker 1: a leg injury. Apparently spent the night in the hospital overnight.
Speaker 1: I saw a report just because just before we came
Speaker 1: on the air here saying that you know, lock it
Speaker 1: should be good to go. They have a bye coming
Speaker 1: up here in week eleven, so potentially could get them
Speaker 1: back in week twelve. But regardless, Jacob Hollister now a
Speaker 1: huge part of this offense. DK metcalf e y nine
Speaker 1: plus targets in three of his last four games. We've
Speaker 1: really got to pay close attention to this Locket injury
Speaker 1: because if he misses any time, that means the value
Speaker 1: of DK metcalf and Jacob Hollister will be skyrocketed. I
Speaker 1: mean dat Metcalf is definitely probably already owned in your league,
Speaker 1: so it's not like you can go get him on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Um, could be somebody could potentially you
Speaker 1: trade for. I think everyone considers Locke and as do
Speaker 1: I the number one receiver on that team. But look,
Speaker 1: I mean he went to the hospital. I mean it's
Speaker 1: it's not some something. I mean that surprised me. I
Speaker 1: just saw it just before the show as well. He
Speaker 1: spent I believe he spent the night in the hospital.
Speaker 1: I mean he was on the bench like talking and
Speaker 1: sitting there. It didn't seem ultra serious. Um, but obviously
Speaker 1: there's something going on. There's some kind of massive bruise
Speaker 1: and swelling. I think they were worried about clotting and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So they're they're they're obviously precautionary. There's
Speaker 1: nothing more important than health for for any of these players.
Speaker 1: But uh, it is scarier as as a Tyler Lockett owner.
Speaker 1: Uh and also the guy that owns Metcalf in a
Speaker 1: bunch of places. So it's a it's a pick your
Speaker 1: poison kind of thing. Uh. They have the bye this week,
Speaker 1: so You're not gonna have to worry about either guy. Um.
Speaker 1: And I think Lockett will probably play after the bye week. Um,
Speaker 1: but the fact that he was in the hospital is scared.
Speaker 1: You have to keep your eye on it. E y
Speaker 1: as somebody who loved Will Disley. I don't know anyone
Speaker 1: who loved will Disleave more than you. Is Jacob Hollister
Speaker 1: now on that same level as well. Dis Lee ten
Speaker 1: targets yesterday, eight for sixty two and one yes, three
Speaker 1: targets over his three touchdowns over his last two games,
Speaker 1: fifties seven or more snaps in back to back games,
Speaker 1: thirty two or more routes ran in back to back games.
Speaker 1: Has Jacob Hollister now replaced Will Dislee in this offense? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's proved he can get it done. And
Speaker 1: and also Carol and Russell Wilson have have shown that
Speaker 1: they are including the tight end in the game plan.
Speaker 1: Throwing to the tight end is obviously a big part
Speaker 1: of the offense. We haven't seen that. What's interesting about
Speaker 1: Hollister he was uh an offseason Darling a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago when he was playing in New England. Ever
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is gonna be the next Gronk.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's definitely not Gronkowski. He's not built like him,
Speaker 1: he doesn't run like him, he doesn't block like him.
Speaker 1: He's none of those things. And the crazy thing about
Speaker 1: it is Luke Wilson is still the starting tight end
Speaker 1: is going to be on the field. Uh. He was hurt,
Speaker 1: I believe, and didn't play um. But I mean it's
Speaker 1: obviously Hollister is getting it done. And the tight end
Speaker 1: landscape is a mess. I mean we've been saying this
Speaker 1: for three years. I mean, if you get a guy
Speaker 1: that that is likely to catch a touchdown in a game,
Speaker 1: then you need to start him every week. And Halster
Speaker 1: is definitely a start every single week going forward. Jacob
Speaker 1: Hollister only owned in seven percent of Yahoo leagues right now.
Speaker 1: I understand that he's going exactly right like based on
Speaker 1: the game he had last week. He had two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He has six plus targets in three of his last
Speaker 1: four games. Since will dis Lee has landed on I R.
Speaker 1: You gotta go out there and add this guy. Even
Speaker 1: with a by coming up for the Seahawks, his involvement
Speaker 1: in this offense is massive, and if you can get
Speaker 1: a tight end who is being involved this much with
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson as his quarterback. I think you've you definitely
Speaker 1: got to jump on that, and you gotta like that.
Speaker 1: The last person I want to talk about in his
Speaker 1: game e y Josh Gordon making his debut. He only
Speaker 1: played twenty five snaps yesterday, only ran eighteen routes. But
Speaker 1: I think that was to be expected, right, he's coming
Speaker 1: off an injury, He's with a new team. I thought
Speaker 1: it was interesting that he only had two targets and
Speaker 1: two receptions, but those receptions were very pivotal receptions where
Speaker 1: they needed to keep a drive alive and they went
Speaker 1: to Josh Gordon. Do you have any interest in Josh
Speaker 1: Gordon if he's still out there in your league? You know,
Speaker 1: based on this injury with Tyler Lockett, we know that
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon can still kind of play. I mean he's
Speaker 1: a big body, and Russell Wilson is playing at an
Speaker 1: m v P level. How much interest do you have here?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's some. I think it depends
Speaker 1: on on your team and your construction, uh your league,
Speaker 1: and and and how big your roster is. And also
Speaker 1: if you're a lockout owner, you mean if you're a
Speaker 1: lock out owner. You mean, you could do worse than
Speaker 1: having Gordon as kind of like a backup to replace
Speaker 1: him if he goes down. Seattle is shown that they
Speaker 1: trust him, Like you said, Yes, it was two catches,
Speaker 1: but those are pivot, pivotal moments in the game where
Speaker 1: they're saying, look, we trust you as a player. We
Speaker 1: know you're coming back from injury, you're learning the playbook,
Speaker 1: you're learning timing with Russell Wilson. You're just starting to
Speaker 1: practice now. But I mean, I feel like Josh Gordon
Speaker 1: could run the slant on pretty much any cornerback in
Speaker 1: the league and come up with the ball. He's he's
Speaker 1: a very explosive athlete and and a big body. He
Speaker 1: just gets in front of the cornerback. Russell Wilson is
Speaker 1: obviously a super accurate in my opinion, probably the m
Speaker 1: v P this year. Uh, he's getting it down big time.
Speaker 1: And Josh Gordon paired with Russell Wilson is an excellent combination. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be really fun to watch, you know, if
Speaker 1: there weren't as many mouths to feed. I don't know
Speaker 1: that I have a lot of faith in Josh Gordon
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, because again we're talking about Hollister,
Speaker 1: We're talking about DK Metcalf as well. And I just
Speaker 1: got this from Inside Injuries. Tyler Lockett is expected to
Speaker 1: be okay despite staying in the hospital overnight due to
Speaker 1: extreme swelling in his leg. That means no surgery. Should
Speaker 1: be good to go in week twelve after the five
Speaker 1: when we come back, we will finally hit on some
Speaker 1: running backs, wide receivers and some streams as well. It's

Speaker 1: whatever you want, joining on the live chat as well,
Speaker 1: and make sure you check us out on Instagram at
Speaker 1: sports grid TV. Get on the grid you. I want
Speaker 1: to start off with some running backs here in our
Speaker 1: waiver Wire discussion, and I had these two names just
Speaker 1: to throw out their first and foremost. It feels like
Speaker 1: we've been talking about them forever. Just check to see
Speaker 1: that they're available. Kareem Hunt seventy two owned on Yahoo.
Speaker 1: But how about this one, uy, Darius Guys is only
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent own on Yahoo. I I put him
Speaker 1: in the check to see if he's available because I
Speaker 1: assumed that his ownership percentage would be higher than that.
Speaker 1: You know, is there something that we're missing? I mean,
Speaker 1: I understand that Adrian Peterson is still there, but under
Speaker 1: Bill Callaghan, their interim head coach, they want to run
Speaker 1: the football and the fact that Dwayne Haskins is starting
Speaker 1: at quarterback for the rest of the season tells me
Speaker 1: that they are starting to turn towards that youth movement.
Speaker 1: They have to see what they have in both Haskins
Speaker 1: and Darius Guys on the field together. So, you know,
Speaker 1: don't you agree that Darius guys ownership percentage should be
Speaker 1: higher than or do you just want to stay away
Speaker 1: from this offense because it's not going to be a
Speaker 1: very good one. When he was healthy, Adrian Peter Peterson
Speaker 1: was a healthy scratch and wasn't playing. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it goes back to that. Adrian Peterson has proven
Speaker 1: to be at Lisa. Uh, sub competent. I don't know.
Speaker 1: They're definitely looking to the future. Of the announcement of
Speaker 1: them going to Haskins as the starting quarterback is proof
Speaker 1: of that. They're trying to see, Uh, you know, get
Speaker 1: those kids some experience and and get him some some
Speaker 1: real time, real be game reps. But to me, it
Speaker 1: would surprise me if guys isn't the starting running back
Speaker 1: this coming week. Uh. He looked awesome when he carried
Speaker 1: the ball. I think we talked about guys in the
Speaker 1: off season and I had said that. I just watched
Speaker 1: this interview with him and he said he had never
Speaker 1: missed a football game ever in his life, from high
Speaker 1: school all the way through college until he got hurt
Speaker 1: and missed the whole season last season. Um, then he
Speaker 1: played one game and got hurt again. So uh, to me,
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you're proving that you're injury proned and
Speaker 1: and nothing else. You've barely played. Uh. So we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. But I mean, guys should definitely be owned.
Speaker 1: He could be the starting running back for a team
Speaker 1: that wants to run the ball a lot. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could do way worse. Darius Guys is a beast
Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy. There has been a legitimate
Speaker 1: series of unfortunate events here for Darius Guys since he
Speaker 1: has joined the NFL, and over the past four weeks
Speaker 1: before the bye, Adrian Peterson was averaging eighteen point eight
Speaker 1: carries for a game and rushing yards for a game.
Speaker 1: So again, they want to run the football. He was
Speaker 1: doing so effectively. I don't know that he goes completely away,
Speaker 1: you know, like a healthy scratch once again like he
Speaker 1: was in Week one. But I think that they start
Speaker 1: to turn this over to Darius Guys and the upcoming
Speaker 1: schedule for Washington. They got the Jets this week, the Lions,
Speaker 1: the Panthers, and the Packers. The Jets have been better
Speaker 1: against running backs, as we saw with sake Kwon Barkley's
Speaker 1: one rushing yard this past week, but the Lions, Panthers,
Speaker 1: and Packers are teams that can be run on. So
Speaker 1: definitely interested in Darius Guys after that he hy. I
Speaker 1: think Brian Hill is probably the most sought after waiver
Speaker 1: wire target this week that's you know, widely available in leagues.
Speaker 1: Played fifty one percent in the snaps in Week ten
Speaker 1: with Davonta Freeman, injuring his foot, carried the ball twenty
Speaker 1: times against a tough defense sixty one rushing yards. He
Speaker 1: had two targets as well. And he's a bigger guy
Speaker 1: six ft one pounds. Actually played at Wyoming with Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: and he proved there that he can handle a big workload.
Speaker 1: His junior season at Wyoming three forty nine carry, twenty
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns. I think if you are desperate for
Speaker 1: a running back, you've got four teams on a boy,
Speaker 1: you lose a Chris Carson, you lose those packards running
Speaker 1: backs as well, or you just lost Devonte Freeman. Going
Speaker 1: up against the Panthers this week, they all were five
Speaker 1: yards per carry. I think Brian Hill is probably the
Speaker 1: top way wire at this week. What say U, E Way? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say he probably is. And and look he
Speaker 1: looked awesome in the in the off season. Uh, there
Speaker 1: was definitely rumors of them even cutting Edo Smith. Um
Speaker 1: so with with him down, Uh, Freeman gone, we don't know, really,
Speaker 1: we don't know much yet about how long. And I mean,
Speaker 1: and you gotta put your claims in today. Um so, yeah,
Speaker 1: I would go after Brian Hill. I'm doing it in
Speaker 1: a bunch of leagues. UM probably won't get them, but
Speaker 1: in some of them you never know. You never know
Speaker 1: what people feel and what they're desperate for this time
Speaker 1: of year, or if they're even paying attention. So so
Speaker 1: Brian Hill I think could be a really good running
Speaker 1: back at if you get them this week, another running
Speaker 1: back that you can look at. Not that the Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions have been able to run the football, but Ty
Speaker 1: Johnson is in concussion protocol and g D mckissic has
Speaker 1: been seeing a lot of the passing work. I think
Speaker 1: that the Lions have really gone back to where they
Speaker 1: were a couple of years ago. They've been relying more
Speaker 1: on Matt Stafford, although now he is dealing with the
Speaker 1: back injury. But they're using that short passing game to
Speaker 1: the running backs as an extension of running the football
Speaker 1: because they haven't been able to do so effectively. So
Speaker 1: they're throwing these short passes. And j D mckissic at
Speaker 1: least three receptions in each of his past three games.
Speaker 1: He just had a season high seven targets this past week.
Speaker 1: Also played a season high seventy percent of the snaps,
Speaker 1: So Ti Johnson's in concussion protocol. There's a chance that
Speaker 1: this team brings in a j Agi or a Doug
Speaker 1: Martin or something like that. But I think based on
Speaker 1: the way that j D McKissick is seeing targets right now,
Speaker 1: e y, especially if you're playing a PPR league, he's
Speaker 1: likely going to going to be in the mix as
Speaker 1: a low end flex because they can't run the football,
Speaker 1: but they are throwing the football to j D. McKissick. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Mckensick is a guy that that I own in a
Speaker 1: few places and I and I said this, everyone went
Speaker 1: and spend all their money on Ty Johnson. That was me, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I tried to tell people not to do that. Um,
Speaker 1: look at I mean, the reality is is carry On
Speaker 1: Johnson is double that running back and double the athlete
Speaker 1: that Ty Johnson is. And he wasn't really uh lighting
Speaker 1: the lighting the roof on fire with with his carries
Speaker 1: and his workload. So I didn't think that Ty Johnson
Speaker 1: could even be half of what he was uh, And
Speaker 1: I was right. And the reality is his mckissic has
Speaker 1: looked like, in my opinion, anytime I saw mckissic carry
Speaker 1: the ball or catch the ball, he's looked like the
Speaker 1: better athlete and for sure the better running back. This
Speaker 1: is a guy that's never really been given a chance
Speaker 1: and very well this week, could be given a chance
Speaker 1: to to carry the bigger workload and should so. Mckissic
Speaker 1: is a guy that you could add too, and could
Speaker 1: be a guy that you ride from for decent production
Speaker 1: from now until the playoffs. Yeah, make sure you check
Speaker 1: out J. D. Mckissic. And we should all just start
Speaker 1: listening to e Y. It's just that simple, right. Ei
Speaker 1: has been been crushing it so far this year with
Speaker 1: the calls on and during the fantasy football season. And
Speaker 1: you know, I stubborn Lee disagreed with you, e Y,
Speaker 1: and I went and picked up Ty Johnson for a
Speaker 1: ton of money and all that has got me is
Speaker 1: some empty pockets. I don't really have much fab left
Speaker 1: and ultimately, uh Ti Johnson is basically a drop at
Speaker 1: this point as he is in the concussion protocol. I
Speaker 1: heard Jim Day the Fantasy Task talking about Calen Blage
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Football Frenzy and he said, this guy stinks.
Speaker 1: The only time you should bring up his name when
Speaker 1: is when someone asks you who is the worst running
Speaker 1: back in the NFL. Then you can respond, Calen Blage,
Speaker 1: but but maybe I'm wrong for for including this butt
Speaker 1: here e y, but two percent of the snaps twenty
Speaker 1: four touches. Are we really going to leave that on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire? If you want to say Kleen Balage sucks,
Speaker 1: that's perfectly fine. If you want to leave him on
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. I know you mistakenly spent a ton
Speaker 1: of money on him last week in the pit league,
Speaker 1: but it just seems like, when when a running back
Speaker 1: is playing this much and seeing this many touches, you
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't leave that on the waiver wire. Agree or disagree? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like this comes down to roster construction as well.
Speaker 1: I can say that I'm mistakenly 're calling that the
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia mishap. That's That's what I'm coining it. And uh,
Speaker 1: I mean, look at that. Sometimes you make a mistake.
Speaker 1: I've got to I mean, I've got over nine teams.
Speaker 1: Waiver wires take me hours, um and it. I mean
Speaker 1: at this point of the season, you're just like, oh
Speaker 1: God again with the waiver wires. Uh So, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I accident I picked him up, and I can
Speaker 1: say that I've already dropped him. I don't believe in
Speaker 1: this guy at all as a player. It doesn't look
Speaker 1: like he knows how to play football or the running
Speaker 1: back position, having that many touches and that many carries,
Speaker 1: being that size and having that athletic profile, and that's
Speaker 1: the only amount of yards that he can get. Not interested.
Speaker 1: E Y is not interested, and I don't blame him
Speaker 1: one bit. But if you're desperate and you, I don't know,
Speaker 1: really like bad running backs, Calumballaz does face the Bills
Speaker 1: this week. Of just allowed a d total yards to
Speaker 1: the likes of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt last week,
Speaker 1: including nine receptions, so the workload is probably is likely
Speaker 1: still there. But if you're not a believer, then maybe
Speaker 1: you look at a Patrick Laird or a Miles Gaskin.
Speaker 1: Those are the two running backs that are currently backing
Speaker 1: up Klin Milage. I would assume that there's only so
Speaker 1: much that the Miami Dolphins can see before they start
Speaker 1: to go in a different direction. I also just wanted
Speaker 1: to bring up Wayne Gallman real quick here, e Y
Speaker 1: still waiting to see if you know what the situation
Speaker 1: is with say Kwon Barkley. I know he was gonna
Speaker 1: go for an m R R. He was banged up
Speaker 1: in that game against the Jets, only rushed for one yard.
Speaker 1: We talked about that a lot yesterday and he wouldn't
Speaker 1: talk to the media after the game as well. He
Speaker 1: just wanted to get out, so see what's going on there.
Speaker 1: But if you are a say Kwon Barkley owner, make
Speaker 1: sure you pick up Wayne Goldman. And this is a
Speaker 1: good time to remind people, e y that if you
Speaker 1: don't have the handcuffs for your running backs, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? I mean, what are you waiting for? It's
Speaker 1: we're heading into week eleven right now, So you know,
Speaker 1: if you were a Devonte Freeman owner, you should have
Speaker 1: picked up Brian Hill last week once we saw Edo
Speaker 1: some go on, I R. If you are Dalvin Cook owner,
Speaker 1: make sure you own Alexander Madison for Leonard four Nette.
Speaker 1: The same thing goes with Rachel Armstead, the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard. E Y, if you don't own
Speaker 1: your handcuffs at this point in the season, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Yeah? Yeah, for sure. I mean this has
Speaker 1: been a year for me where um, especially like the
Speaker 1: running backs that I got early, like the sae quon
Speaker 1: to Elliott. I've kind of carried Pollard and Goldman all year.
Speaker 1: Um Gallman, you know, had the one opportunity where he
Speaker 1: looked pretty decent um when he came in. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at he's not Azekiel Elliott. But good running backs
Speaker 1: are not available on the waiver wire this time of year.
Speaker 1: Like we're sitting here talking about spending a bunch of
Speaker 1: money on Ty Johnson and Brian Hill, guys that are
Speaker 1: the third options on the team. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're not now, then you definitely should be going
Speaker 1: after or even trying to trade for the handcuffs to
Speaker 1: your running backs. All right, when we come back, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about some wide receivers on the waiver wire, as
Speaker 1: well as some quarterback, tight and defense streams. Heading into
Speaker 1: Week eleven of the fantasy football season, it's Frank Stanford
Speaker 1: alongside e Y the fantasy pfs right here on the
Speaker 1: sports Gride TV Network. Are you ready for the nation's

Speaker 1: hours a day here to serve you the fanatic. This
Speaker 1: is sports Gride. Get on the Grid. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Best Friends Forever, live on the Sports Grade
Speaker 1: TV Network. I am Frank Stanford, joined by my good
Speaker 1: buddy e Why Eric Young going through the waiver wire,
Speaker 1: Gonna hit up some wide receivers and in some quarterback,
Speaker 1: tight end and defensive streams as well. E Y, Let's
Speaker 1: jump right back into it. The players that I wanted
Speaker 1: to remind people just to check to see if they're available.
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder only sixty nine percent owned nice on Yahoo
Speaker 1: and I don't understand why. I mean, he's been a
Speaker 1: huge part of the offense over the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: He's clearly Sam Donald's go to guy, and he has
Speaker 1: the revenge game this upcoming week in Week eleven, going
Speaker 1: up against Washington. Will Fuller just he might have been
Speaker 1: dropped because of the injury, might have been dropped because
Speaker 1: of the bye week, and we saw what his role
Speaker 1: was earlier on in the season, he's going to be inconsistent,
Speaker 1: but again, exposure to that passing attack of the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: It's very clear that him and Deshaun Watson have a
Speaker 1: good report together as well. So if Fuller was dropped,
Speaker 1: go out there and check to make sure that he
Speaker 1: is not on your waiver wire. Josh Gordon spoke about
Speaker 1: him a little bit earlier and Deanie Westbrook e y,
Speaker 1: I think Dede Westbrook is an interesting one. He's only
Speaker 1: on Yahoo, so might be you know, a little bit
Speaker 1: more widely available then at least I would have thought,
Speaker 1: do you buy into that narrative with Nick Foles coming
Speaker 1: back to play the quarterback position, that we see a
Speaker 1: huge uptick indeed Westbrook's value because if you remember in
Speaker 1: draft season, I saw d. D. Westbrook in some high
Speaker 1: stakes drafts go as high as the fifth round. That's
Speaker 1: how much people were buying into him. Because Nick Foles
Speaker 1: does like to target slot receivers. Are you buying in
Speaker 1: as well? Yeah? For me, Like, look at the connection
Speaker 1: of quarterback to wide receiver is a real thing. We've
Speaker 1: talked about it a bunch of during the off season.
Speaker 1: I've talked about a bunch of this year Nick Foles
Speaker 1: loves d D. Westbrook. He's proven that when he played
Speaker 1: that that was his guy, and he's going to have
Speaker 1: a ton of receptions. Um. I know that DJ Shark
Speaker 1: has been the more um you know, the number one
Speaker 1: receiver there, Uh, while the Mustache was at the controls.
Speaker 1: But Nick Foles coming back, I believe that goes back
Speaker 1: to D. D. Westbrook. I don't think in any way
Speaker 1: DJ Shark is not ownable, but I do feel like
Speaker 1: he will not have the amount of volume the D. D.
Speaker 1: Westbrook has. Uh So for me, I mean D. D.
Speaker 1: Westbrook is a guy you gotta go after if he's
Speaker 1: out there in your waiver wire. Yeah, we saw that
Speaker 1: in the one preseason game that Nick Foles and d. D.
Speaker 1: Westbrook played together. I think it was they only played
Speaker 1: one or two drives together, and D. D. Westbrook had
Speaker 1: like six or seven targets in those two drives alone.
Speaker 1: So it seems like he is going to be a
Speaker 1: target monster moving forward with Nick Foles as the quarterback.
Speaker 1: And make sure you check out the sports Grid YouTube
Speaker 1: because uh coming out soon is gonna be the FanDuel
Speaker 1: of hurry Up that I did today with Jim Sonnis
Speaker 1: of number fire, and he gives out three players to
Speaker 1: buy right now in fantasy football and three players to sell.
Speaker 1: One of his buy candidates is actually DJ Chark. He
Speaker 1: doesn't think that DJ Tark's production is going to change
Speaker 1: all that much with with Nick Foles as the quarterback,
Speaker 1: so make sure you keep a lookout for that here
Speaker 1: on the sports Grid YouTube page. We spoke about Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuel earlier in the show. E y. I think he
Speaker 1: is one of, if not the top waiver wire add
Speaker 1: this week. But another one who is in that same
Speaker 1: discussion is going to be Darius Slayton. And normally it's
Speaker 1: a tough situation to add a wide receiver or any
Speaker 1: player that's heading into a bye week. But I think
Speaker 1: based on the way that he played this past week
Speaker 1: and the opportunity that he saw four teen targets, ten
Speaker 1: receptions yards, two touchdowns, he finished as the wide receiver
Speaker 1: to overall in Week ten. And Evan Ingram is still
Speaker 1: banged up, We'll see if he can return after the
Speaker 1: by Sterling Shepherd, I think might get shut down. This
Speaker 1: concussion issue is very serious for him. I think deep
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton alongside Deebo Samuel, those are probably the one
Speaker 1: A and one B for me in terms of the
Speaker 1: waiver wire wide receivers this week, E y, which one
Speaker 1: do you prefer between Deebo Samuel and Darius Layton. I
Speaker 1: think I still lean with Deebo Samuel. Um a better
Speaker 1: offense on a better team. Um, and I don't think.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know anything about it, but I mean,
Speaker 1: Shepherd has been close to playing a couple of times,
Speaker 1: so I do believe that he's going to come back
Speaker 1: at some point this year, and it could even be
Speaker 1: this week. Uh yeah, but I would go after Samuel first.
Speaker 1: But Slayton has looked good. I mean he's a guy
Speaker 1: who just kind of came out of nowhere and looks
Speaker 1: I have a real connection um uh with uh oh
Speaker 1: my god, a kid. Thinking of the quarterback's names, Danny Dimes.
Speaker 1: That's it, Danny Dimes. Um so yeah, that's that would
Speaker 1: be the order I do it. But but Slayton has
Speaker 1: really shown up in a big way. Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: Look if Deeedy Westbrook's out there, he's number one for me.
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder as well. But after those guys, you know,
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuels out there, Darius Slayton is out there. I
Speaker 1: think I would have a Deebo Samuel as the one
Speaker 1: A as well, going up against the Arizona Cardinals this week.
Speaker 1: That's a really good matchup for Deebo Samuel. Again, pay
Speaker 1: attention to the news on Emmanuel Sanders. I saw a
Speaker 1: few people talking about Randall Cobb in the chat here,
Speaker 1: and I think he's worth talking about, you know, because
Speaker 1: he made the most of his opportunity in Week ten.
Speaker 1: He dominated the Vikings secondary. Again, you can use wide
Speaker 1: receivers against the Vikings second area. They are not the
Speaker 1: defense that they have been in years past, at least
Speaker 1: against you know, wide receivers. They have not been very
Speaker 1: good this season. Randall cop finished with six catches for
Speaker 1: a hundred and six yards and a touchdown. He's played
Speaker 1: at least seventy of the snaps in each of the
Speaker 1: past two weeks, and it seems like he's really starting to,
Speaker 1: you know, push into that wide receiver two roll with
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup where he's starting to eat into that that snapshare.
Speaker 1: He's starting to eat into that target share as well.
Speaker 1: You know, he he does Randall Copp plays in the slot,
Speaker 1: which you know has been a very valuable piece for
Speaker 1: fantasy football wide receivers over the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: You know, slot receivers have just been awesome over the
Speaker 1: past couple of seasons. So I have some interest in
Speaker 1: Randall Cob here, and the Detroit Lions are a secondary
Speaker 1: that you actually can throw against, especially in the slot
Speaker 1: because we know Darius Slay plays on the outside. Why
Speaker 1: how much interest do you have in Randall Cobb this
Speaker 1: upcoming week? I think there's some you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you have guys, you know, wide receivers on the
Speaker 1: by and you need to start somebody, that's you could
Speaker 1: do way worse than Randall Cob showed up a little bit.
Speaker 1: I still think Mount gallup Is is a better option there.
Speaker 1: I still think that he will end the season with
Speaker 1: more fantasy output than Cobb. But I mean, crazier things
Speaker 1: have happened. Cobb has has been a number one receiver before.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's going to be that, but we
Speaker 1: know we can get it done lining up in this slot,
Speaker 1: especially this week. Again to the Detroit Lions. If they
Speaker 1: get Matt Stafford back, then I think it's probably going
Speaker 1: to be a pretty high scoring game and they're gonna
Speaker 1: need to throw the ball and Cobb could be the
Speaker 1: beneficiary there, especially on a PPR YEP eight plus targets
Speaker 1: in back to back games for Randall Cobb as well.
Speaker 1: The last two names that I wanted to mention here,
Speaker 1: e y, these are more of desperation plays by week fillers.
Speaker 1: Deeper League adds to Marius Thomas at Washington and James
Speaker 1: Washington at the Cleveland Browns playing on Thursday Night. Since
Speaker 1: Donald returned back in Week six, various Thomas has tied
Speaker 1: for second on the team with eighteen percent of the
Speaker 1: target share. During that span, he actually has seven more
Speaker 1: receptions and forty eight more receiving yards then Robbie Anderson
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, likely because the offensive line hasn't been good.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, the Jets offensive line is
Speaker 1: a bad one, and they don't give Donald enough time
Speaker 1: for those routes to develop down the field. For Robbie Anderson,
Speaker 1: I think that's why we're seeing more work to Jamison
Speaker 1: Crowder and more work to Marius Thomas in these short
Speaker 1: and intermediate routes as well. Going up against the Washington
Speaker 1: Redskins in Week eleven, I'm not really worried about that secondary,
Speaker 1: so I think to Marius Thomas is interesting. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then James Washington had the best game of his young
Speaker 1: career six catches for ninety yards and a touchdown in
Speaker 1: Week ten, all while playing only fifty percent of the snaps.
Speaker 1: That's the biggest takeaway for me. I wish that James
Speaker 1: Washington was playing more snaps. Fifty snapshare is just it's
Speaker 1: not enough for me. But I do like the fact
Speaker 1: that he made the most of his opportunity here. E y.
Speaker 1: We've been saying this for a while. We thought that
Speaker 1: there was going to be a rapport between Mason Rulph
Speaker 1: and Washington because they played together at Oklahoma State. It
Speaker 1: hasn't really happened until just now. If you had to
Speaker 1: choose between one of these guys in a deeper league,
Speaker 1: E Y to Marius Thomas at Washington or James Washington
Speaker 1: at the Cleveland Browns, who are you looking at? Man?
Speaker 1: I think with the long play, I'd probably go Washington,
Speaker 1: But for this week, maybe it's Thomas. Uh. But I
Speaker 1: think if I had to choose, I would go with Washington.
Speaker 1: I feel like, Uh, this is the guy at Blitnikoff
Speaker 1: winner A guy that was you know, highly drafted. The
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers have been known to draft and pick good receivers,
Speaker 1: and uh, the connection Routolph to to Washington should be
Speaker 1: a real thing um going forward. I think we we
Speaker 1: saw it kind of show up this last week a
Speaker 1: little bit when he played earlier, and definitely in the
Speaker 1: preseason as well. So Washington to me has a much
Speaker 1: higher ceiling and probably around the same floor as to
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas. Let's move over to those streams real quick,
Speaker 1: e y. And at the quarterback position, again, we have
Speaker 1: four teams on a bi were without Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Tannehill,
Speaker 1: who all of a sudden has been awesome for fantasy,
Speaker 1: and we are also without Russell Wilson. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: need a quarterback and I'm looking at Kyle Allen as
Speaker 1: likely the top scream this week going up against the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons defense played really well against Drew
Speaker 1: Brees in Week ten, but they have still allowed, you know,
Speaker 1: some big games. They allowed multiple touchdown passes in every
Speaker 1: game from weeks three through eight. So I'm looking at
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen to bounce back have a good game this week,
Speaker 1: and I think He's probably the top streaming quarterback. If
Speaker 1: he's already gone, then Sam Donald probably the next one
Speaker 1: up going up against this Washington secondary, And I think
Speaker 1: a sneaky ad right now if you want to look
Speaker 1: towards the future again, Nick Foles coming back the starting
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. His playoff schedule, his Fantasy
Speaker 1: Playoffs schedule from weeks fourteen through sixteen, the Chargers, the Raiders,
Speaker 1: and the Falcons. That is a really good schedule. E
Speaker 1: y which streamed? Do you like most here between Alan
Speaker 1: Donald and Nick Foles? And do you agree with stashing
Speaker 1: Nick Foles for that playoff schedule? To me, Alan seems
Speaker 1: like the safest bet. He's looked pretty good, uh, distributing
Speaker 1: the ball, getting it out there. Um. And the fact
Speaker 1: that Christian McCaffrey is the running back there, then you
Speaker 1: have to respect him in the passing game and definitely
Speaker 1: in the running game as well. So Kyle Kyle Allen
Speaker 1: is probably the safest uh Donald look at. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know the scene the ghost and he hasn't been
Speaker 1: good all year, but I still believe Sam Donald has
Speaker 1: the tools, uh, And at this point, I believe the
Speaker 1: biggest thing is just confidence coming off being having Mono
Speaker 1: um getting up to speed. UM. Then you know a
Speaker 1: couple of really bad games playing against the best defense
Speaker 1: in football right now, the Patriots um getting absolute massacred
Speaker 1: uh and and having his confidence take a real hit.
Speaker 1: This week he showed up looked much better. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I believe going forward or here he will improve every week.
Speaker 1: So that could be a sneaky one. And like you
Speaker 1: said with Foals, just because of his playoffs schedule alone,
Speaker 1: and the reality is that Jacksonville is it looks pretty
Speaker 1: competitive and somehow sneakily all of a sudden have this
Speaker 1: really good wide receiving corps. So you could do way
Speaker 1: worse than Nick Foles. Yeah, for sure. I mean their
Speaker 1: past catchers are are really interesting. We're talking about D. D.
Speaker 1: Westbrook and and DJ Tarkt is someone that you can
Speaker 1: still buy. Chris Conney has made some places here, Leonard
Speaker 1: Fournette being used more in the passing game. So yeah,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Jaguars have a pretty good
Speaker 1: core of pass catchers there for Nick Foles to throw
Speaker 1: the ball to. Let's move on over to the tight
Speaker 1: end position. Obviously, Jacob Hollister is someone that you would
Speaker 1: want to add, but you can't use them this week
Speaker 1: because the Seahawks are on a buy and e y.
Speaker 1: To me, there are four very obvious tight ends that
Speaker 1: you can look to pick up right now. Kyle Rudolph
Speaker 1: going up against the Broncos, has scored four touchdowns in
Speaker 1: his last four games. O J. Howard going up against
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints again trying to figure out if
Speaker 1: last week was real for O. J. Howard or if
Speaker 1: it was just because they were going up against the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: who are terrible against tight ends. Jack Doyle, who has
Speaker 1: been very consistent at least sixty yards are a touchdown
Speaker 1: in three straight games. He's going up against the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: and then Jack Cook going up against the Tampa Bay Bucks.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what do you y if I had
Speaker 1: to choose this one of these guys to stream this week,
Speaker 1: I think I'm looking at Jared Cook. You just had
Speaker 1: ten targets last week and the Bucks have allowed the
Speaker 1: second most Fantasy points to opposing tight end, so he's
Speaker 1: probably the guy that I'm looking at if you just
Speaker 1: need a tight end for Week eleven? What do you think?
Speaker 1: I mean? Not bad for me? I'm gonna go with Rudolph.
Speaker 1: Rudolph has the momentum. Uh. There seems to be a
Speaker 1: real connection between him and Kirk Cousin. He trusts him
Speaker 1: in the red zone and for me, the tight end position,
Speaker 1: like I said, it's an absolute poop storm. Um. So
Speaker 1: I'm going with the guy that I think and to
Speaker 1: catch a touchdown, and that's Kyle Rudolph. Kyle Rudolph is
Speaker 1: the guy for e Y. But if you want to
Speaker 1: shoot for some upside again if O J. If, if
Speaker 1: last week was real for O J. Howard, being the
Speaker 1: third option in the Tampa Bay Bucks passing attack has
Speaker 1: real value for fantasy football, So I understand if you
Speaker 1: want to take the shot on him. The Saints have
Speaker 1: been tougher against tight ends this year. But the upside again,
Speaker 1: Howard was being drafted in the top four are five
Speaker 1: rounds of drafts, you know, during the summer, and that's
Speaker 1: because we know what kind of upside that O J.
Speaker 1: Howard possesses when it comes to defensive streams. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Jaguars going up against the Indianapolis Colts,
Speaker 1: the Jets at Washington. That's right, I said it. The
Speaker 1: new York Jets. They look pretty good against the Giants
Speaker 1: and the Oakland Raiders going up against Ryan Finley and
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. E y, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: joining me again. Make sure you'd say hello to Greg

Speaker 1: is Sports Grade. Get on the Grade. What did happen?
Speaker 1: What did Here's what you missed on the BFFs. Job
Speaker 1: is going to continue to pound the ball. Catching the
Speaker 1: ball is not like he's not you know, he can
Speaker 1: catch the ball, but it's not the biggest shiny object
Speaker 1: in his in his skill set. So you know this
Speaker 1: is a perfect set up, a perfect one in two
Speaker 1: running backs. Both of them are going to be productive.
Speaker 1: I believe um Cleveland Browns one. So you mean it's
Speaker 1: a good thing. Yeah, they're winners in general themselves, getting
Speaker 1: to three and six on the season. Taking down the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills yesterday, I think I thought Jervis Landry was
Speaker 1: a big winner as well as nine catches for ninety
Speaker 1: seven yards and a touchdown on ten targets against this
Speaker 1: stout Bills secondary. There's now three games in a row
Speaker 1: where Jarvis Landry has had double digit targets e Y.
Speaker 1: So I think Jarvis Landry is trending up, you know,
Speaker 1: high end wide receiver three, maybe even low and wide
Speaker 1: receiver two. It's crazy to say, but Landry and Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham's value might be the same at this point. I
Speaker 1: don't think that that's a stretchy Odell Beckham yterday had
Speaker 1: twelve targets only brought in five of those for fifty
Speaker 1: seven yards. I think Odell Beckham and and Jarvis Landry
Speaker 1: have similar value right now? What do you think? What
Speaker 1: I know for sure is Odell Beckham is. That is
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest disappointment of the year. Um. Everyone was
Speaker 1: for certain that Baker Mayfield was going to be the
Speaker 1: best quarterback that he's ever played with, and that still
Speaker 1: maybe true. But the Cleveland Browns can't get out of
Speaker 1: their own way, whether it's play calling, coaching, uh scheme,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I'm not smart enough to know, but
Speaker 1: this is not a good offensive football team where everyone
Speaker 1: thought that they would be pretty high powered, especially bringing
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham over. If to me, if you would ask me,
Speaker 1: I would swap them. Jarvis Landry should have should have
Speaker 1: been picked before out Odell Beckham. Um, that was never
Speaker 1: going to happen. No one thinks that Landry is overall
Speaker 1: a better football player, but maybe in how the offense
Speaker 1: haveter has to run, they're more effective. When Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: goes back three steps and let the ball out of it,
Speaker 1: get it out of his hands. When he holds onto it,
Speaker 1: they're in trouble in Odell Beckham. Look, he can get
Speaker 1: short passes two. I don't know why they don't try
Speaker 1: to get him in more slant screen stuff like that.
Speaker 1: This guy makes stuff happen when the balls in his hands. Uh,
Speaker 1: and they're too busy trying to force long balls to him,
Speaker 1: and that's just not what they're they're able to do
Speaker 1: on the season. E Y. Jarvis Landry currently wide receiver
Speaker 1: twenty three. Odell Beckham is wide receiver thirty four. So
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right right now, Jarvis Landry has more value
Speaker 1: on the season, and I'm not sure that that is
Speaker 1: going to change. I believe you know. This was the
Speaker 1: toughest schedule coming up for Odell Beckham. I'd i'd have
Speaker 1: to pull up the rest of what they have going
Speaker 1: on moving forward in terms of the schedule. Let's see
Speaker 1: here Pittsburgh. Miami is good, but two of their next
Speaker 1: three games are against Pittsburgh. That's secondary has been ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Since they brought over make of Fitzpatrick the Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 1: in Week fourteen. Week fifteen against the Cardinals, Patrick Peterson
Speaker 1: hasn't looked like himself, So you gotta mix bad coming
Speaker 1: up for Odell Beckham the Dolphins is a good matchup.
Speaker 1: The Bengals is a good matchup the Cardinals. You should
Speaker 1: be able to take advantage. But those games against the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, I don't think you're really gonna feel good
Speaker 1: about Odell Beckham in those games, So Jarvis Landry for
Speaker 1: me a very clear winner.
