Welcome to the honesty sports fantasy football show.
I'm Chris, some alongside my colleague Jesse Van Tusco and Jordan Cone.
Week eleven of the season is here.
We have your waiver, wire pickups,
your stream team, and your stealthy starts.
I will get us going and I'm going to go to a Chicago bear and I'm gonna go to Darnell Mooney.
Still, only just 45% of Yahoo leagues,
which really kind of caught me off guard.
Check if he's there. If he's in your league because the Bears finally have their passing game going like in normal NFL off and should Justin Fields is starting to
build those chemistry with his receivers,
and Darnell Mooney is kind of been that Tom Target for him so.
You got a chance for a guy who's a top receiver within,
uh, you know, branded it's a bottom tier kind of offense,
but he's going to be getting those targets.
You've seen the increase here in recent weeks as the Bears have figured out things offensively.
So Mooney is going to be putting up some decent numbers.
I'd like him if he's there in your waiver wire,
so that's my pick up.
Jordan, who you looking at this week?
I'm going to go with Tennessee Titans running back Deon to Forman and I'll put my hand up here along with,
I assume most other people were scrambling for either.
Adrian Peterson. Or Jeremy Mcnichols upon hearing the news that Derrick Henry was injured and that seemed to be the right move at the time their first week of Henry
List action looked to trend in that right direction because it was Peterson.
Mcnichols getting the bulk of the snaps.
Mcnichols had 45%, Peterson had 33%
back in week nine in week ten.
That script changed all around formant,
held a slight edge in the snap count he led in touches.
He led in total looks and in total yards with 78.
Now he is a really nice matchup with the Houston Texans in Week 11.
And if we assume that he's going to have that lead role again,
it should lead to very solid fantasy production.
I don't want Jesse who you're looking for on the wires this week.
Well, I think the old saying goes,
if you want to make God laugh,
tell him your plans, the Rams they had it made in the shade.
Cooper Kupp, Odell Beckham, Junior Robert Woods.
But because we can't have nice things,
Woods AKA Bobby trees or his ACL at Friday's practice ending his season before they could even dried on Odell deal as a perennial pro bowler and former rookie of
the Year. Beckham's name obviously carries weight,
but coming off major knee surgery and a frustrating three year stint in Cleveland,
is he really someone the Rams can trust?
Time will tell on that front,
but with barely any practice time under his belt and only a cursory knowledge.
Sean Mcvay's playbook. It could be awhile before he makes a true impact,
which is why I think fantasy owners should be taking a long hard look at Van Jefferson,
who in year two of his Rams tenure,
has quietly enjoyed a breakout season.
Jefferson fell to the second round of last year's draft because of his age,
but the 25 year old has speed to burn.
A trait is demonstrated with eight catches of 20 plus yards this season.
Jefferson's emergence of late drawing six or more targets in four straight games,
including Monday night's loss at San Francisco,
made to Sean Jackson expendable,
with the Rams releasing him earlier this month.
All I'm saying is, don't be surprised if Jefferson,
not Beckham, benefits the most from what this injury time
now for our street team,
and I have our quarterback for this week.
I'm looking out to the Northeast in New England with Matt Jones and the rookie out of Alabama has been everything the Patriots have hoped,
leading the way in that blowout victory over the Browns 45 to 7 he threw 3 touchdowns on the day and New England looks like an AFC contender.
If you're looking to keep contending in your fantasy league if you need a quarterback this week.
If you got somebody on Vine Matt Jones checking out,
he's probably. Dare to pick up this week.
He's really arrow pointing up and they're really putting a lot more trust with him in that New England offense.
So it's been impressive. He's been one of the most impressive rookies this season.
I think it's only going to continue on and it surely will.
Thursday night you gotta get him.
Now you gotta come into that one early in the week,
but they're facing a porous Falcons defense opportunity there for more points for Mac Jones.
So jump on that one if you need a QB this week.
Jordan, who's your stream team pick up,
Chris?
I like that pic and it's just so crazy to think that the Patriots are like a top three PFF ranked offense this year.
Through the thought but testament to Belichick,
I guess. And the Mac Jones for the tight end position I'm going to go with Tyler Conklin of the Minnesota Vikings.
He's kind of been someone who I've chosen multiple times for my own streaming purposes,
but this is actually a particularly good week to stream tight ends,
which is a pretty bizarre for how this season is gone.
But there are three guys who are pretty widely available.
Pat Freiermuth, Dan Arnold, and Tower Conklin,
and they're all available in more than half of weeks.
They're also all top six tight ends.
Over the past three weeks.
And Conklin is the one that I'm gonna prioritize here.
He's seen 24 targets over his past four games.
He gets to go up against the Packers team that a should make Kirk cousins throw the ball a decent amount if their offense is working and there's some shootout
potential there and be the Packers also just gave up eight catches to Gerald ever in week 10,
even when their defense was firing on all cylinders and preventing the Seahawks from doing too much damage.
So yeah, I really like Conklin here.
He found the end zone twice last week.
His chemistry with Kirk Cousins seems to be improving.
It's kind of a little gem in the wake of the herb Smith junior injury earlier on.
So yeah, I think the Conklin is one of several streaming candidates this week that you could look for.
Alright Jesse. Which defense are you streaming this week?
Say it with me Jordan eat hey GLES Eagles,
you wouldn't know from all the hate Jonathan Gannon's been getting on local radio but the Eagles defense has been as Larry David might say.
Play pretty good producing 36 fantasy points in their
last three games. In fact,
only the Patriots have scored more fantasy points in Philadelphia since we ate.
Eagles have no doubt benefited from a cupcake schedule with recent games against Denver and the winless Lions,
fortunately that trend will continue when the Saints visit and Week 11 world has lost two straight and no Trevor Simeon has managed to avoid turnovers.
He hasn't exactly inspired much confidence either,
completing just 57.7% of his throws while filling in for injured starter James Winston.
New Orleans just doesn't have the bodies right now with Michael Thomas done for the year,
and Alvin Kamara, nursing a knee injury.
They kept him out of Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
The Saints lost when they came to Philadelphia a year ago,
and I wouldn't be surprised if history repeats itself with the four and six Eagles finally hitting their stride
time now for our scalp,
he starts this week and I'm looking up to Green Bay and AJ Dillon.
Erik Jones goes down with an injury,
likely just a one to two week deal with the need.
Fortunately, he avoided a more serious injury,
but AJ Dillon is going to get that opportunity.
You saw that in the ground and pound it kind of game.
They had that 17. Nothing win against the Seahawks on Sunday,
21 carry 66 yards, but more importantly 2 touchdowns for Quadzilla.
He's gonna be that running back one for Green Bay and look I I don't know how much they're gonna be throwing the ball and we did with Aaron Rodgers
still kind of getting back into form and figure things out with a group of receivers.
Have been up and down this season.
They really rely on that ground game up in Green Bay and AJ Dillon is gonna get those opportunities,
especially inside the finding those school to go situations where he's got that power and he's able to get into the end zone.
If you've had him stashed all season,
this is your lucky. We put AJ Dillon in your starting lineup.
I think you're gonna get a lot out of him this week.
So that's my pick up.
Jordan, who's your stealthy start this week,
couldn't agree with that pick more and I'm going to go with someone else who owners might have held onto.
Might have given up on kind of hard to say.
And that is Robby Anderson of the Carolina Panthers at this point last season.
He was a top 24 wide out.
He was a must start week in and week out.
He was In Sync with Teddy Bridgewater as of Week 10 in this season.
He is the number 65 wide receiver.
He has been borderline unplayable.
Needless to say, things haven't been all that great after he signed a two year extension worth around 30.
Million this offseason, but things could be looking up because he clearly wasn't In Sync with Sam Darnold.
Which is odd because Darnold was his former quarterback,
but he looks pretty good and we contend with a mix of PJ Walker and Cam Newton under center.
Newton could be the starter going forward.
It's reportedly trending that way,
and Newton was who found him for a touchdown early in the game.
So I think that bodes pretty well.
Maybe it's definitely a riskier pick,
but it gets a little bit easier to stomach when you see that the Washington football team is their week 11 opponent in the second most generous fantasy defense.
Two wide receivers on the year.
That's another plus for Anderson,
so hey, if you've been holding on to him,
this might be the week that you want to put him in your starting lineup and just hope for the best.
It's definitely a little risky,
I think. It's pretty stealthy so.
So yeah, I'll go with Anderson here.
Yeah, a lot of intrigue me that Carolina offense going in that matchup gets Ron Rivera in Washington as you mentioned.
So be a fun one to watch Jesse finish this off.
Who's your? Who's your stealthy
start this week is the final score.
45 to 17 would indicate not a lot went right for The Jets Sunday against Buffalo.
But the glass half full community did have one
silver lining to hang out at on the continued development of Michael Carter,
who, amid The Jets season long struggles,
has emerged as a legitimate fantasy RV to the rookie,
has been a bright spot in an otherwise disastrous Jets offense,
averaging 111 yards from scrimmage over his last four games.
In that span, he's produced 76.4 PPR points.
Third most among fantasy running backs.
People forget Carter was the MTA.
Is 4th leading rusher a year ago,
despite sharing a college backfield with Javonte Williams,
who went two rounds ahead of him in April's draft.
Negative game script tends to hurt running backs on losing teams,
but because he's so involved in The Jets passing game,
Carter is a rare exception to that rule.
Facing a Dolphins team that's already allowed ten touchdowns to opposing running backs this year.
Look for Carter to break this late in week 11.
Right Week 11 is here for Jordan code.
Jesse pentico. I'm Chris summer.
