0:00Week nine waiverwire does have some real gems, but you need to be very careful about how you navigate it. Going to be
0:05go ahead and begin with Antonio Williams, who did only score 10 PPR points, but ran 88% of the routes with a
0:1125% target share in the Washington Commander first game without Terry McLuren. My guess heading into this game would be that Antonio Williams would be
0:18featured, and I I ended up being right about that. Stfan Diggs, the coaching staff, told us, "We are going to try and
0:24not put too much on Diggs' plate." And I think that's intelligent. Diggs is a 33-year-old wide receiver who's had season ending injuries in two of his
0:30most recent three seasons. To me, it makes sense to actually load more on the plate of Antonio Williams and that is
0:35very much how things looked against the Philadelphia Eagles. He is actually in my opinion the top waiverwire wide receiver out of the week ahead of Adnai
0:43Mitchell who we are going to talk about.
0:44Obviously, Tyler Elgier is the number one waiverwire claim pickup of the week.
0:48Bam Knight suffered a concussion.
0:50Jeremiah Love, according to reports, reinjured his ankle. And according to Arizona Cardinals beat Riders, it's a new ankle injury. Not the ankle injury
0:57he suffered in the preseason. Not the ankle injury he suffered against the Cowboys, but a new ankle injury. I would expect Jeremiah Love to probably not
1:03play this upcoming week for the Arizona Cardinals. And I would expect Tyler Algier start. And I'm going to expect Bam Knight to miss. We're going to talk
1:10about the rest of that Arizona Cardinals backfield a little bit later in this video. A reminder for all of you guys,
1:16if you were in a league where Jordan Tyson has been dropped, I'm expecting Jordan Tyson to play this week. I've talked about Jordan Tyson. I believe in
1:23the most recent three Waverwire videos, so we don't need to spend a ton of time here, but obviously the deal with Jordan
1:28Tyson is he is going to immediately be featured in my opinion ahead of Devon and ahead of Jawan Johnson. Um, I mean,
1:34I think you can probably drop Veillay and Johnson. Jordan Tyson was a firstround wide receiver who profiled incredibly well in my advanced prospect
1:41metrics. actually in my stuff looked a little bit better before adjusting for draft capital than Carnell Tate. Very early breakout age for Jordan Tyson. A
1:49very heavy plays per game offense. I feel pretty good about Jordan Tyson if he is able to be activated this week. If
1:55he is not activated this week, I would only hold Jordan Tyson on good teams that are training towards making the playoffs. If you are sitting here, you
2:02know, at three and five, you do not need to be adding Jordan Tyson. You need to be biased towards action. the man who we
2:08featured last week. We have to talk about Seth McGawan who did only play 23% of the snaps last week. However, I think
2:14we've gotten our answer. The Indianapolis Colts are trading everyone right now. If you look at any kind of like sports betting or prediction market
2:20or anything like that, the overwhelming favorite is that Jonathan Taylor is going to get traded. Now, the Denver Broncos are in. The New York Giants have
2:27been reported to being on Jonathan Taylor. I personally would be surprised if after the trade deadline, Jonathan Taylor is still an Indianapolis Colts. I
2:35just don't think it makes any sense for the Indianapolis Colts to hold on to Jonathan Taylor. Now, some of you guys
2:39did raise an interesting question last week, which is what does it even matter to have the Indianapolis Colts starting running back if they're going to trade
2:46Josh DS, they traded Quinton Nelson, they traded Devoris Buckner, they're they're trading everything that's not tied down. And you know what, that
2:52actually is, I think, a pretty valid point. However, if you go into rest of season running back rankings and you start looking at actually like who am I
2:59going to start at running back, it starts to get pretty dark pretty quickly. And if I told you like if in
3:04the course of recording this video, if I get done recording it and when I post it, Jonathan Taylor has been traded. I
3:10mean, McGawan I would actually add over Tyler Algier. He would be my top waiverwire ad of the week, but that is
3:16the S tier. Now, most of you guys play in very competitive leagues, so these guys are already going to be rostered.
3:20So, let's move into the real meat of the week with the A tier. Mike Washington Jr. did get the start out of Ashen
3:27Genty. He got 25 rushes. He played 63% of the snavs. only played 20% at a long down a distance, does not get the short
3:34yardage touchdown. Kurt Cousins scores a one-yard touchdown. This is what I would say about Mike Washington Jr. He obviously needs to be rostered. Do I
3:42think that Ashton Genty is going to stay in this role for the rest of the season?
3:45I do not. I did some more digging after the what mattered in week eight video.
3:50And many people around the team think that it was basically like a quiet disciplining, a soft benching for Ashton Genty. He had the comment before the
3:58game where he said some of those New York Jets players are afraid to tackle guys. It doesn't really make any sense
4:03to me to bench your first round running back like and only play him on passing downs. Like why would you not just bench
4:10him overall? Why would you not play Dylan Lowi on passing downs? The bigger issue with Mike Washington Jr. is he's been quite bad. Um so he's 41st at a
4:1842nd in fantasy points per touch amongst running backs. He is bottom five in rushing yards over expectation. He has barely I believe on the season he has
4:26five missed tackles for us. Like he he just has not been very good. He's had a couple nice highlight runs. I have been
4:32an Ash and Genty guy that has looked uh you know I guess kind of in between like the receiving work is not really
4:37something that I expected Genty to do, but I would right now on my fantasy teams I would rather add Seth McGawan. I
4:43think there's a much clearer path to starting Algier to starting Seth McGawan. Like ask yourself are you going to start Mike Washington Jr. if Gent is
4:52active? I think that's the question you have to ask yourself. If you are comfortable, you the viewer, you the listener, if you are comfortable
4:58starting Mike Washington Jr. with Genty playing, then you should move Mike Washington Jr. out my rankings. Me personally, if Genty is active, I'm not
5:06moving White Washington Jr. ahead of him in my rankings. Maybe that's stubborn, but that is how I'm viewing the situation. Then we have Kayn Black. I
5:13think he did get dropped in a fair number of leagues. I actually always before I do this video, I go look at my
5:18actual leagues that I play with actual money with real fantasy football players. And I did see Kayn Black dropped as a result of the 49ers having
5:25the by-week. I mean, we are in peak fantasy football season right now with buys, with injuries, with trades happening. Kaylin Black did get dropped
5:33in a fair number of leagues. We saw Christian McCaffrey suffer the dead leg in the 49ers game against the Atlanta Falcons. I think Kayn Black has to be
5:40owned in every like at least every 10 team league right now. I can't can't see leaving him out there. Adnai Mitchell
5:46has the blowup game here instead of Omar Cooper Jr. We featured Kenyan Sadique on the Waverwire show. We have featured Omar Cooper Jr. on the Wberwire show and
5:54we've actually featured AD Mitchell because he had 11 targets in week two compared to six for Garrett Wilson.
5:59Mitchell did still play this game with his broken finger. I mean really impressive stuff here. 27 PPR points, 74% of the routes, 29% of the targets.
6:08This is my honest to god opinion on Adnai Mitchell. I think right now he is a better player than Omar Cooper Jr. I
6:14think he is an unbelievably good stylistic fit for Gino Smith. And I'm ready to say this right now. come back and dunk on me. Say, "Davis Madak,
6:22you're so stupid. You know, this is why they didn't let you in the Flock League, man, because you have these terrible
6:26opinions." I think Adnai Mitchell outscores Omar Cooper Jr. for the rest of the year on my own fantasy teams. I would rather have Adnai Mitchell. I
6:32would rather start Adnai Mitchell, which is not to say I don't think Omar Cooper Jr. is a drop. I don't think Garrett
6:37Wilson is a sell. I just think the New York Jets offense is actually like pretty good for fantasy in any game
6:43where they actually are positive pass rate over expectation as they were against the Las Vegas Raiders. I think two of the four pass catchers can end up
6:51having good games. So that would be two of Garrett Wilson, Adna Mitchell, Omar Cooper Jr. and Kenyan Sadi. How I would
6:56rank them moving forward is I would rank them Garrett Wilson one, Mitchell 2, Cooper 3, Sadique four. Sadique is still contending with a Mason Taylor problem.
7:04Mitchell did see a huge increase in snaps and routes from his first game back from injury to this week up to 74%
7:10of the routes. And I just I if you look at any of the fancy metrics on AD Mitchell in his career, targets per
7:16route run, separation at the catch point, any of those things, he has always been elite at those. The issue with Mitchell has just been a lack of
7:22focus, a lack of seriousness. I don't know what it is about this New York Jets team. Maybe it is just that he loves
7:28playing with Gino, but we have seen a very different version of Adnai Mitchell this year. I am buying in. I already
7:34have Adnai Mitchell on a lot of fantasy teams, but if I didn't, I would be looking to add him this week. Ryan
7:39Floreno, I think this is a really interesting one. He scores a touchdown last week, 13.1 PPR points, 68% of the routes. There are two things that are
7:46really factoring in. I've actually been lower than consensus on Ryan Florenoi coming out of uh Southeastern Missouri State. However, the reason why I'm
7:54changing my tune is first, George Pickkins has seen his snaps and routes limited the most recent two weeks after being listed on the practice report
8:01multiple times with injuries. He is dealing with a couple injuries that are keeping him from being a full-time player. Additionally, we now have Jake
8:09Ferguson who suffered an ankle sprain. I would expect Ferguson to miss a couple weeks. Brevin Span forward, who we're going to talk about a little bit later,
8:14will be out there. But that is going to translate to more snaps, more routes for Ryan Fornite if they're down a tight end
8:20and if they're not playing George Pickkins fulltime. And then also a very other sneaky thing. I wonder if George Pickkins is a potential very surprised
8:28trade candidate. I could see him netting a first, which the Dallas Cowboys would love to have. He obviously has not signed a long-term contract with the
8:35Dallas Cowboys. He's kind of blowing it this year, frankly. Like, he is not having he I certainly the Cowboys can't be that excited to have George Pickkins
8:44on their team. We're getting much closer to a Pittsburgh Steelers version of George Pickkins than the version that we saw of him last year. So, Finoi is
8:52pretty sneaky. I'll just have to admit personally, I'm I would personally rather have Adnai Mitchell. Now, that could very easily end up being wrong.
9:00Like, if George Pickkins is traded or CD Lamb gets injured, obviously you would rather have Florenoi. I I've just had a
9:05hard time. Florenoi has not been even close to like a league average target earner or fantasy point scorer based on his fantasy points per target. So I I
9:13have him below Mitchell. Moving to nine, I've got Eli Ren. A foot injury for Hunter Henry. After Hunter Henry went out, Eli Ren played 92% of the offensive
9:22snaps. Now, he did only generate 1.5 PPR points with a 17% target share. I tend to think Eli Ren is like a pretty good
9:29tight end. Uh people remember on that first Flock League stream of the year, I had him at 65 to1 for the first
9:35touchdown of the first game of the season. Shout out to me. Uh respect your goat. But Raren was a guy that actually
9:40did not have very good collegiate statistics coming out of Notre Dame. But whoever like every film watcher, every NFL scout loved this guy. He ends up
9:47being a day two pick in the NFL draft.
9:49If Hunter Henry misses multiple weeks and AJ Brown misses multiple weeks, I would think Raren will kind of enter that tier three tight end mix where like
9:57you're ranking him at like tight end 15 in the given week. And I I think he's pretty solid there. Uh Dina mentioned
10:03EMTT Johnson coming off the massive 25point game. However, it did only come on 12 offensive snaps and I do think hoping that he gets like the Jerick
10:13McKinnon role is pretty tough because Kenneth Walker has just been so good.
10:17But I know he's been pretty disappointing for our fantasy teams the most recent two weeks. One thing that does aid Emma Johnson is the bow
10:23nixification of Patrick Mahomes where his intended average air yards just keeps falling week over week. Obviously getting that throw to Emma Johnson is
10:30pretty helpful there. Emma Johnson clearly does need to be owned in every fantasy football league if only for like handcuff reasons. If Kenneth Walker goes
10:38down, he becomes an instantaneous league winner because I don't even really think they would play much of a third running back at all. I think it would just be a
10:45lot of Emma Johnson. And as a result of that, I think he just needs to be owned.
10:49But can you start Emtt Johnson? You'd have to be pretty down bad, I think, to start Emma Johnson, despite the fact
10:54that he just had three receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. Michael Mayer, I mean, again, you guys are smart. You know the deal with Michael
11:01Mayer. He is a full-time player. Brock Bowers is a receiver. as long as Kurt Cousins keeps playing pretty well. Like I mean the fact that Trey Tucker and
11:09Jaylen Naylor are the outside wide receivers means there's no reason that Mayer and Bowowers can't combine for 60% of the Raiders targets in a given week.
11:17So anytime the Raiders actually like project as a dog or you think they're going to lose the game, Mayer is I think
11:22like a pretty good streaming option. And then Dylan Samson 12.9 PPR points last week played 56% of the snaps, 69% of the
11:30long down of distance. He played all the third downs. He actually ended up playing one more snap in the end than
11:36Quinnshan Judkins did, which I think is fairly bullish for him. I mean, the the whole deal with Judkins is we wanted
11:42Judkins to earn more of the passing down work. And it turns out that 2024 SEC offensive player of the year. Dylan
11:47Samson is going to prevent that from happening. Moving now to the B tier, we've got to talk about Brian Thomas Jr.
11:53who did score a touchdown last week, only ran 52% of the routes and had 13% of the targets. But obviously, the
11:58reason why we are talking about Brian Thomas Jr. is the trade deadline is now a week away. Is he going to be on the
12:04Jacksonville Jaguars? If he still is on the Jacksonville Jaguars, you probably don't want to have him on your fantasy team. If he is traded from the
12:10Jacksonville Jaguars, I think you most certainly do want him on your fantasy team. If he is traded to the Chiefs, if
12:15he is traded to the Steelers, um if he Well, is he traded to the Seahawks?
12:19Would we rather him I don't know. Would you rather him be on the Seahawks or the Jaguars? There there are a couple great
12:24Oh, what about the Rams? I mean, if the Rams trade for Brian Thomas Jr. then move Brian Thomas Jr. to the S tier. He
12:30would be like the absolutely had to have him. Get it off your waiver guy of the year. What is the probability that Brian
12:36Thomas Jr. is traded? It's probably not that high. I don't think the Jacksonville Jaguars want to bail from a costc controlled guy who was so good his
12:43rookie season. But it is pretty clear that the relationship is soured. Uh Liam Cohen when asked about Brian Thomas Jr.
12:49and him being traded this last week just like couldn't even couldn't even couldn't even fathom how annoying it was to continually be asked about this guy.
12:57So, I don't really know how to interpret that situation, but the rumors have consistently been, you know, Jeremy Fowler has reported this, other guys
13:03have reported this. The Chiefs are calling about Brian Thomas Jr. Doesn't mean they're going to get him, but if they do, I think you're obviously going
13:08to want him on your team. Got to talk about the Patriots guys with no AJ Brown. Uh Kyle Williams only saw one
13:13target, but scored a 42- yard touchdown.
13:16Eftton Chisum played a ton. 85% of the routs, 28% of the targets did not have a particularly good game. And then Deario
13:21Douglas scored as well. Honestly, my expectation would be that AJ Brown probably barely contributes to the Patriots for the rest of the season. He
13:29has now missed time with two separate injuries. He has a degenerative knee condition. Now, the Patriots offense without AJ Brown and without Hunter
13:36Henry and without Trevian Anderson didn't look particularly good against the Miami Dolphins. In fact, it kind of looked like it was stuck in quicksand.
13:42Douglas to me is very interesting just because he continues to earn good volume. They were also using Chisum in kind of some creative ways. They were
13:50using him as like the Jet Motion guy.
13:52they were throwing some screens to him.
13:54Kyle Williams has the lowest floor in a given week. He's not going to be near as good of a target earner as Chismer
13:59Douglas, but he also has the highest a highest average depth of target. And with that high a dot, that can just turn
14:05into touchdowns much more easily. These guys are kind of all like borderline wide receiver four style guys, but in a given week where the Patriots have a
14:12higher total or we think it's a spot where the Patriots are going to trend up in terms of dropbacks, then I think all
14:17these guys need to be rushed. For example, the Patriots on November 15th play the Detroit Lions. I think all of these guys are probably kind of low-end
14:24streamers, assuming that AJ Brown does not play. The guy who is going to lose playing time the most with AJ Brown
14:30active is going to be Chisom. I think Douglas has now set in as like pretty much a full-time player with Romeo Dubs
14:36out. Then we have Elijah Mitchell, who ended up playing 57% of the snaps, played 79% of the long down distance, only scored 7.7 PPR points. Barkley
14:44ended up cashing in the goal line touchdown, but he played more than Saquon Barkley did. Jaden Blue came in for eight snaps in Garbageio time. Eli
14:51Mitchell is probably going to be the lead back for the Philadelphia Eagles. I mean, the Eagles are playing for absolutely nothing at this stage. Saquon
14:58Barkley told Eagles riders that he is not going to be traded. Do you guys believe that? I I don't know if I do
15:04believe that. I think if um their front office was offered something meaningful for Saquon Barkley, they would most certainly take it. The Eagles are two
15:12and six as of right now. That would place them as um actually they're dead last in the NFC. Technically, the the
15:18Saints are ahead of them because the Saints only have five losses. The Eagles have six losses. So, the Eagles season is over. Herz is out. Dvontto Smith is
15:26seeming like he maybe is not going to trend back. I I don't see why Elijah Mitchell uh is not going to get, you
15:32know, about 15 touches a game for the rest of the season for the Philadelphia Eagles. Mike Cassiki, uh he actually trended way up in terms of routes. 74%
15:39of the routes, 13% of the targets in games where the Bengals have a ton of dropbacks. Cassiki does tend to trend
15:44up. Eric all and Tanner Hudson being injured also open up more snaps for Gassiki. You know, I I've been kind of
15:50lower on Gassiki despite the fact that he just keeps scoring a billion touchdowns. He's having a phenomenal season like relative to his baseline. I
15:59just have seen this from before, but Gassiki only doesn't have a touchdown in one game this season. And in fact, his
16:05six touchdowns match his careerhigh uh from 2020. He also scored six touchdowns. So, I I guess maybe I've been wrong on Mike Cassiki. I do think
16:13he's a fine ad here, you know, if you're if you're streaming tight ends or whatever. Uh Austin Eckler, so Jeremy McNichols suffered a foot injury. Sounds
16:21like he is going to be out for the rest of the year. The team has been very loathed to use Rashad White as an every
16:26down back. And frankly, I get it. You know, when I watch Rashad White, I wouldn't want to use him as an every
16:31down back either. What was weird was Eckler was actually playing the early downs. Eckler played 17 of the 20 early down snaps, but only played 20% of the
16:40long down at distance. Obviously an early down back on the Washington Commanders. I mean I think as we've learned with the Shakori Crosky Merit
16:46stuff, not nearly as valuable as the passing down back. Rashad White would have lost the goal line work to Jeremy McNichols. However, McNichols ends up
16:55injuring his foot. I wonder if Eckler's role actually grows over the course of the season as he gets a little bit
17:00healthier. Remember, he is coming back from this Achilles injury. I he's he's a pretty good like $1 low priority ad because there's every chance that next
17:08week for the commanders Eckler like ends up leading that back field uh in in overall snaps. Now I would still rather
17:14have Rashad White if Rashad White was on your waiverss. I'd rather add Rashad White. And I guess also a reminder to
17:19check and see if JK Merid is out there.
17:21He should be eligible to come back from the designated for return IR next week.
17:25And when that happens, given they've been so hesitant to give Rashad White healthy work on the ground, I wonder if he is reinstalled as the lead back, then
17:33Malik Washington does finally cash in on a touchdown last week. Finally gets over 11 PPR points, 78% of the routes, 20% of
17:40the targets. The issue with Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell and Malik Washington and Greg Doulich and Kevin Coleman Jr. is that the Dolphins passing
17:48game is so egalitarian. Every Dolphins starting pass catcher last week had either five or six targets and counting on Miami Dolphins passing touchdowns
17:56doesn't really feel that sustainable over the long term. But Malik Washington is a fine stop gap. I would say next week I would prefer any of the three
18:02Patriots guys assuming no AJ Brown over any of the Dolphins guys if that is the situation interior you're looking at.
18:09Moving to the Ctier. Brevin Span Ford is the new starting tight end for the Dallas Cowboys. Jake Ferguson I would guess is going to miss at least two
18:15weeks with his ankle sprain. run 74% of the route, 17% of the targets. The Cowboys passing offense is one that we
18:22really want to be investing in. However, the Cowboys have tried to stop throwing the ball, which I think is so interesting. I don't know why they would
18:28do this, but the Cowboys lose to the Arizona Cardinals and do so with only 168 passing yards. Now, they do beat the
18:35Philadelphia Eagles with 212 passing yards and 204 rushing yards, but I think the Cowboys are just better when they're dropping back. And to me, Brevin Span
18:43forward is kind of and like who's who projects for more points next week, Kyle Pitts or Brevin Spanford? Like it could
18:49very easily be Span Ford. They they do seem to like him and they've been slowly installing him over Jake Ferguson.
18:56Anyway, Evan Hull, now this is a name I did not think we were going to be talking about in fantasy football in
19:012026, but if you look at the Arizona Cardinals beat writer, Jeremiah Love, uh their depth chart, sorry, not beat Writer. Jeremiah Love reinjured his
19:10ankle. Bam Knight suffered like a really gnarly concussion. Tyler Algier played the final 40 offensive snaps for the Arizona Cardinals. So, I think Evan Hull
19:18is going to be active this upcoming week. And before you say, Davis, why do I need to add the handcuff running back?
19:23Like, you're so stupid. I mean, think about what we just saw with a team like the Philadelphia Eagles where they went
19:27through Barkley, they went through Shipley, they went through Damen Pierce, and all of a sudden the guy behind the guy became the guy that you needed. If
19:33you added Damen Pierce on the Will Shipley week, you got two good starts.
19:37if you added uh Elijah Mitchell, you know, you got you got like I guess two decent games out of Elijah Mitchell, two
19:43two okay games. Not that you would like have ever started Elijah Mitchell, but I do think, you know, spending one buck on
19:48on Evan Hole and then all of a sudden Tyler Elgier rolls his ankle. You have a starting I mean granted you have a
19:54starting running back for a pretty bad team with a pretty bad offensive line, but still these are these are the types
19:58of moves that if you have a really good team, like if you are if you have a a strong roster right now, like if you are
20:05only like one or two losses, Evan Hull for like zero dollars or as a first come first serve guy, that is what separates
20:11you from from like a normie. That is what makes you an elite fantasy football manager is that you know to make these
20:16transactions before it costs you money.
20:19Uh Cyrus Allen did run 50% of the routes for the Kansas City Chiefs. That was a big uptick for him. One of the things
20:24that might make sense for the Chiefs if they don't end up trading a pick for Josh Downs. If they don't trade for
20:28Keenan Allen, if they don't trade for Brian Thomas Jr., they don't trade for any of these guys would be just saying,
20:33"Hey, our passing offense is so bad. We are so down bad. Like, how can it be worse than just playing this this day
20:41three rookie? It can't get any worse.
20:42Playing Andrew Armstrong can't get any worse. Playing Noah Gray can't get any worse, you know. Can't can't get any worse than playing Jaylen Royals. Like,
20:48let's just throw this guy out there and see what he can do. I don't think that's going to be the most likely thing. I
20:54think they're probably going to trade for a receiver, but if they do not trade for a receiver, it would not surprise me
20:59if Cyrus Allen ends up actually out targeting Xavier Worthy in the back half of the season. Worthy, who I did like
21:04coming into the year, I mean, he just can't play. He just is not good enough.
21:06Cyrus Allen, I think, is already to me seems like a better wide receiver than Xavier Worthy. Devin Neil, same situation as with Evan Hull. So, you
21:14have Jeremy McNichols injured his foot.
21:16Austin Eckler's coming back from this injury. Rashad White has just been Rashad White has just been juiceless. I mean, that's the deal with Rashad White.
21:24He just has basically no juice. So, Deon Neil for one buck. I I actually uh would be adding like 14 16 team less. Would
21:31not surprise me if week 13 uh Deon Neil is ranked as a starting player. And then Trail Burks 79% of the routes, 21% of
21:38the targets. definitely prefer Antonio Williams over Treyen Burks, but Treyen Burks is the deep guy in this offense.
21:44And I actually do believe the Commanders when they say, "Hey man, we don't want to give Stfon Diggs 11 targets per
21:49game." Like, as it stands right now, it's not a crazy thing that the Commanders could make the postseason.
21:55They are technically only two games back in their division um against the New York Giants. And the New York Giants have JJ McCarthy as their quarterback,
22:01which is a good segue. Our streaming quarterbacks for this week, my top two streaming quarterbacks. Number one, Malik Willis gets to play at home
22:09against the Detroit Lions. We have actually seen Malik Willis step up for fantasy football in a major way. It has not come how I would have expected it. I
22:16would have expected the better results for him to come via the rush. Did not happen last week. Only had one rush for
22:23two yards against New England, but had his most efficient passing performance.
22:27We know the Detroit Lions are a really plus plus matchup. And shout out to my guy JJ McCarthy. I'm not ready to fully
22:33live on JJ McCarthy Island, but I am purchasing a time share. You know, I I'm going to go there for two weeks in the
22:39spring. I'm going to go hang out. I'm going to see the sites. I'm going to have a nice time, you know, nice little
22:43family vacation, and I'm going to turn the time share over to the next person there. The Eagles have just given it up
22:48to everyone. Like, the the Eagles suck.
22:49I I mean I think that streaming quarterbacks, streaming running backs, streaming wide receivers, streaming tight ends against Eagles for the rest
22:56of the season is going to just be awesome because teams are just going to steamroll them as they've totally given up on the season. So in leagues where
23:03I'm missing a quarterback and leagues where I'm dealing with injuries, super flex leagues, I mean certainly you'd want to have Jay McCarthy. These are my
23:08top two streamers. Moving to the streaming defenses this week, Kansas City Chiefs gets to play against Gino and the Jets. They're nine and a half
23:15point favorites. Even though my Kansas City Chiefs are having a tough season, this is an elite spot. I mean, getting Gino for for all he has done as a
23:23quarterback this year, one of his big issues is he just takes way too many sacks. So, I really like the Kansas City
23:28Chiefs streaming defense this week. The Chicago Bears with Jeffrey Simmons, they get to play against the Tempe Buccaneers who basically have stopped throwing the
23:36forward pass. I don't think they're going to be able to get away with that.
23:38No team is able to get away with that because the Chicago Bears offense is too good. Something that people fundamentally misunderstand about
23:44streaming defense is the thing that we want is we want to face the most amount of passing attempts possible. And because the Bears can force other teams
23:51to throw, they end up being a great streaming defense. The Detroit Lions, who yes, the defense absolutely stinks, but they get to play against the Miami
23:58Dolphins. Playing against the Miami Dolphins is an absolute cheat code, particularly in weeks where you think they're going to have to throw the ball.
24:04I don't see any way that they're able to avoid throwing the ball this week against the the Detroit Lions offense.
24:10Then we have the New York Giants. Same deal here. I mean, just look look the rest of the season. Who do the Eagles
24:16play? Pick those defenses up. Like, go, okay, so they play the Giants, they play the Steelers, they play the Cowboys, they play the Cardinals. Like, all those
24:22defenses are going to be good because the Eagles have absolutely nothing on offense. And then the New Orleans Saints, who did get dropped in a fair
24:30few amount of leagues as they were coming through their bye-week. I I would assume they're like available in like pretty much all of your leagues. They
24:36get to play against Deshaawn Watson and the Cleveland Browns. Deshun Watson just eight. Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, but
24:43eight sacks last week. I mean, just unbelievable how bad Deshawn Watson is playing. I I cannot believe that the Cleveland Browns are not putting their
24:50wrist up. So, to put a little cap on this, my top five waiverwire ads of the week. Number one would be Antonio
24:57Williams. Number two would be Seth McGawan. Number three, in my opinion, would be Adnai Mitchell. Number four would be Kalin Black. And number five
25:05would be Eli Rarden. Obviously, that is not including guys who are already owned in most of your fantasy football leagues. I'm respecting you. That's what
25:13I want to do. You know, when you come to the Madic Fantasy Football Channel, I want you guys to feel respected.
25:18Streaming kickers, Kyro Santos with a high total against Tampa Bay. Eddie Pierro with the mega insane total this week against the Las Vegas Raiders.
25:26Absolutely love to see that. Will Lutz widely available against the Carolina Panthers. And Drew Stevens for the Commanders this week. Looks good as
25:34well. our drop list this week. It's a pretty sad list because it's really going to reflect the situation with the Baltimore Ravens. We've got Rashad
25:41Baitman as a drop. Emanuel Wilson, absolutely no touches, no rushes for him last night. He and Helani are both clear drops in fantasy football. Xavier Worthy
25:4993% of the routes, 4.3 PBR points.
25:52Adios, brother. Chris Godwin, I think you can drop, frankly, I think you can drop Ted Johnson. You could drop you you
25:57could drop any Buccaneers pass catcher really other than Ibuka given how low they've been to pass the ball even despite the surrounding circumstances.
26:05Mark Andrews four PBR points on 71% of the route. Sayanara buddy JK Dobbins RJ Harvey and Tyler Batty both on IR. Now
26:14the team wants to trade for Jonathan Taylor. JK Dobbins coming off 1.3 PBR points. Lamar Jackson on IR. You can drop him as well. Bam Knight with a
26:22concussion and I think clearly Tyler Algier is gonna be ahead of him on the rotation. Make sure to like the video.
