Fantasy Football Today - FFT Express - EARLY Week 13 Waiver Wire TARGETS! Devin Neal, John Metchie, Greg Dortch, & Others! (11/24 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Starting point is 00:00:00 You know, some trips are just better when you can really unplug. Spend time with family, see friends, or hit the course with the guys on our yearly golf trip. This year, me and the boys stayed in a home on Airbnb, which happened to be a guest favorite, and it was right on the course. We could walk straight to tee off every morning, and it was just a short stroll to the local shops, bars, and restaurants. Staying in a place on Airbnb gives you plenty of room to spread out, cozy living areas to hang out in, and all the privacy you need. Staying somewhere like that makes everything feel more like a home than a hotel, and you get a real feel for the neighborhood. I'm already planning on how to go bigger and better next year. Luckily, there's so many options to choose from on Airbnb.

Starting point is 00:00:43 So whether it's family, friends, or golf getaway, my biggest tip is to check out Airbnb, check out their guest favorites, which are the most loved homes on Airbnb, and you'll be amazed at what you find.

And happy Thanksgiving, everybody. Right now on FFT Express. Yeah, we got three games on Thursday, Green Bay, Detroit, Kansas City, Dallas, Cincinnati, Baltimore with the return of Joe Burrow. But not T. Higgins, he will not play this week. Joe Burrow will play. Friday, we have Chicago at Philadelphia and the rest of the slate on Sunday.

Starting point is 00:01:52 And then, calling it now, the big upset, Giants over the Patriots Monday night. Anyway, more to talk about that throughout the week. Right now, we're giving you some players to target on the waiver wire. No teams are on a buy. Some injuries to discuss here. But, Jamie, what's the waiver wire looking like for week 13? I think there's some fill-in options. I don't think there's a slam dunk must-start guy.

Starting point is 00:02:16 You know, I have a couple running backs that are going to be of interest in Devin Neal because of Alvin Camaro with a knee injury. Chris Rodriguez, we talked about going into the commander's buy week. Most likely they're starting running back, or at least they're featured running back. You know, tough matchup against Denver, tough schedule, but, you know, some guys that you can look at there. Maybe Rahim Mostered if this Ashton Genti injury concern is a problem, but my guess is he just came out of the game because of what the score was at that point and the hits that he was taking behind that offensive line. You mentioned T. Higgins and his injury, Andre Yoshabas gets another week of potential action and maybe Mike Keseki because of what Higgins' absence has meant for Gaseki over the years. Tight-end actually is probably my favorite position this week just because of Brent Strange and still Dalton Schultz and Colston Love one, you know, three guys, that could be potential starters for you.

Starting point is 00:03:07 And the other receivers, I think, are going to be some intriguing third options, three receiver league, options in three receiver leagues like Jaden Higgins, who's been playing well of late, to Mary D.K., who's, you know, got an opportunity in front of them. There's just some interesting options, not necessarily a slam. We don't have the Emmanuel Wilson, unfortunate, you know, scenario. I don't think Devin Neal is that guy. Okay, how come? You know, because usually we get excited to varying degrees about running backs. And Devin Neal had, what, seven carries and five catches. He's widely available, 12% rostered.

Starting point is 00:03:44 And his schedule, we talked about it with Camara. Camara had one of the best remaining schedules. You look at Devin Neal's page on CBS.com on the fantasy site, Every matchup is green, which is a top 10 matchup. Miami's 24th against running backs, Tampa Bay, 23rd, Carolina 22nd, Jets 20th, Tennessee, 26th, Atlanta 29th, that's week 18. So almost all of them are green. Anyway, yeah, how come you're not that excited about Devin Neal? Well, I will counter the green matchups by going to Alvin Cameras player page and looking at single digit, single digit, single digits, oh look, there's a double digit one against Carolina, a single digit, single digit, single day.

Starting point is 00:04:21 Like, it's just been tough to trust the guy who's better than him. And then you factor in Taysam Hill, who is most likely going to be a huge problem for him. So I think there's reason to buy into him as a flex. There's certainly reason to buy into him as maybe a number two running back if you're desperate. But it's also not like Camara has been ruled out for the season. You know, there's still a chance that he can play this week. I don't think that's going to happen. But there is a chance that he can return, you know, soon.

Starting point is 00:04:43 So for all those great matchups, they could be Camara instead of Chimer, excuse me, instead of Devin. All right. funny story with that though in our podcast league we were carrying chimeridicay dropped dk for jaden higgins Thursday night i really wanted to get devon neal so drop jaden higgins on thursday afternoon didn't pick up anybody waiting to pick up dev and neal watch higgins score the touchdown like oh man i knew i shouldn't have dropped them knew i shouldn't have dropped them then we get devon neal and then this on this happens you know so roundabout way like it worked out probably will work out for us but so yeah it might work out for someone else too because they have an opportunity to pick up jaden

Starting point is 00:05:22 higgins who's been encouraging and dk and chimry dk yeah all right so we'll take a quick break and give you some quarter we'll give you a position by position quickly here when we come back on fantasy football today express and for those of you watching and listening i want to please ask you jamie we moved we advanced in the uh the 64 podcast bracket no way we did i told you we'd be busting with the boys we did we did thank you everybody who voted now we're up against men and blazers.

Starting point is 00:06:18 soon. So I think you only have like a day, basically, maybe a few days. But try to do it today. If you can, we'd appreciate it. The 64.com. Quarterbacks to pick up, Jamie. Not the best list. I have C.J. Stratt at the top, just based on his performance prior to getting hurt, what Davis Mills has done while he was out. And I know it's not the easiest to match up against the Colts, but I don't think it's one that you say, okay, if I don't need a quarterback, he's not one to look at, if that makes sense. But I have him and Tua basically has the top two guys to, you know, acquire for this week of the guys who are widely available. And then it gets ugly.

Starting point is 00:06:57 Tyler Shuck, Cam Ward, Max Brosmer now with the J.J. McCarthy injury and Teddy Bridgewater with the Baker-Mayfield injury. Tua's got the Saints. Stroud. Stroud is still in the concussion protocol, by the way. But when he clears, he will be the starting quarterback they've announced. Okay, running backs, anyone other than that? Just keep an eye on Jacoby percent and Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence has been dropped in a lot of leagues, but gets what should be a favorable matchup for him this week.

Starting point is 00:07:24 You know, I hope he takes advantage of it, but we'll see how things go there for the Jaguars against Titans. Any running backs other than Devin Neal? Yeah, there's a couple. I mean, you know, it's not terrible. Devin Neal, Chris Rodriguez. I'm still going to put in claims for Gillil McLaughlin. I know RJ Harvey dominated snap count there, but McLaughlin include the next. guy up. And if Harvey struggles, I think he'll get an opportunity just based on the

Starting point is 00:07:48 familiarity with Sean Payton. Rahim Moster, just in case there is something going on with Gentine, you know, leaving the game is something to keep an eye on there. Dylan Samson, same thing. Quinchon Judkins in the medical tent twice. I know he finished the game, but maybe this is a guy that they, you know, play a little bit more Shadur Sanders in the passing game after he had the biggest explosive player for the touchdown. And then Blake Horman would be the last guy to just add just in the range of guys that we talk about. All right. Wide receivers. So, D.K. and Metschi, do you have a preference? I have a slight lean toward D.K., just because I think his quarterback situation is a little bit safer.

Starting point is 00:08:22 I don't know if that makes sense or not, but also the prospect. So you can put Metschi right there. So I have basically four guys that I think are almost identical in terms of, like, a lot of questions, but clearly a path to success. And that's Yosheh, Chimeri, D.K., Jaden Higgins, and John Metching. So all four guys, you know, five to ten percent of your fab, you know, potential number three receivers. METI's 10 targets in his last two games since being acquired scored a touchdown in both. Higgins has been four of his last five with seven plus targets, you know, back-to-back games with touchdowns. We'll see what happens with Stroudback.

Starting point is 00:08:57 I hope it's not a Davis-Mills thing, but something there. D.K., we'll see what happens. When I.O. Manor's healthy, he missed the game as well, but we know that Calvin Ridley's out for the rest of the season with that hamstring injury, or excuse me, broken leg, I'm sorry. And Yoshavaz, I don't know if it's going to be a one-week thing again for him, but we know sometimes concussions can linger. And there's a big opportunity with Burrow back with, you know, him playing, being the starter opposite, Jamar Chase. Yeah, he played five games without Higgins last year and with Burrow, with Chase.

Starting point is 00:09:28 And it wasn't great. He had four or fewer targets in three, and four of those five games. He scored in one good game. And then other than that, he really, and that good game was two catches, seven yards, two touchdowns. But it's different. You know, it's just different. He had a good game last week, Yoshavus.

Starting point is 00:09:43 You mentioned it. When he gets targets, he's pretty good. The guy that was really great last year was Gassiki. I mean, it was wild, how good he was when Higgins was out. I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head. I just remember that story. We'll have it for tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:56 So it's somewhat to consider, but he didn't, he played about 50% of the snaps. He had the second most snaps among Cincinnati tight ends, but a lot more than Noah fan. Just some other guys for receiver. Jane Reed, they opened his window to return last week, and maybe he's, He's a difference maker for the Packers. Greg Dorch, as long as Marvin Harrison, continues to be out. He's been fantastic the last two weeks.

Starting point is 00:10:17 Darius Slayton, I still think, is going to have some better production with Jackson Dart under center. And then we don't know how long Drake London is going to be out by Darnal Muni as well. The one thing on Slayton is that he had been playing in two receiver sets. It would be Wondale and Slayton.

Starting point is 00:10:32 Last yesterday or Sunday, it was Wondale, and then it was either Slayton or Hodgins. So it bung me out a little bit, because you and I kind of liked Slayton. He didn't, he kind of, he lost some snaps to Hodgins. I have a feeling, you know, based on what James said, that James and Hodgons have a very good rapport.

Starting point is 00:10:50 And maybe that carries over for, for Dart as well. I know Dart and Slayton were playing well together prior to both getting hurt. All right. Tight ends? Yeah, so tight ends. For me, I struggled with Brent Strange versus Dalton Schultz, but I'm going to give the slight edge to Strange just based on what he looked like yesterday and what maybe his role is going to be.

Starting point is 00:11:10 Also, prior to getting hurt, he was starting to build some momentum. But I think both those guys, plus strange is more widely available. Schultz has 60% rostered at 20%. Colston Loveland just continues to, you know, every time he gets chances, he's delivering for them. Tough matchup coming up against Philadelphia. And as you alluded to Sunday night, the schedule is brutal for the bears coming up. But still a young player on the rise, you know, should be rostered in more than 63% of leagues.

Starting point is 00:11:34 Gaseki would be next at 3%. I have Darren who is expected to practice on Wednesday after him. maybe he comes back and picks up where he left off was doing a great job for the dolphins before getting hurt. Tatham Hill, now he's going to be more involved. So that's something to keep an eye on there. Gunner Helm is getting a lot more playing time lately

Starting point is 00:11:50 in producing, you know, so maybe they're starting to just lean into their youth movement. And then we have now with Tyler Higby out for the season, Colby Parkinson very quietly has scored touchdown three straight games. You know, so with the way Matthew Stafford's playing at this point, why not take a chance on someone who's as not a big part of that offense, but a part of that offense and somebody that has, you know, at least been productive for three straight games.

Starting point is 00:12:10 By the way, you talk about Loveland and yesterday on the recap show, I said that Caleb Williams, based on his schedule, probably the best sell high candidate. Well, the Eagles had four injuries to starters or to key players on defense, not their best players, but two safeties. Yeah, Blangachiship was hurt. Blankiship. McCuba is out for the season. A Dory Jackson got hurt and a defensive lineman got hurt as well.

Starting point is 00:12:36 It's not Jalen Carter. It's not Quinion Mitchell, but it's four players got hurt yesterday, guys that play significant snaps for the Eagles. So that's a Friday game against the Chicago Bears and definitely something that will be monitoring. All right, that's Jay, oh, DST, sorry. Yeah, DST is interesting. Chargers, my favorite, taking on the Raiders this week. So go get them. They're 48% roster.

Starting point is 00:12:57 Jaguars get the Titans. I know the Jaguars defense has been a little suspect. Well, I shouldn't say that. They were great two weeks ago against the Chargers. They were a little suspect yesterday against the Cardinals. Falcons coming off a strong game. They get the Jets. 49ers against Chatur, you know, so we'll see how things go there against a better defense,

Starting point is 00:13:11 at least a better coordinator. And then the dolphins get the Saints, you know, down, Camara. So I know Tyler Shuck actually played well against the Falcons, but still, if you're desperate, the dolphins might not be bad. Kickers, you got Kyome Fairbairn. Now these healthy should be rostered in more leagues. Brandon McManus, and no favor of yours early in the season, had three field goals against Minnesota. And now they're playing indoors against the Lions. That could be a low-scoring game where he's getting more opportunities. Badgley gets the Texans in his building, so indoor kicker, don't worry about weather.

Starting point is 00:13:39 Jake Elliott's not coming off a big game against the Bears. They've given up fantasy points to kickers. And then Chad Ryland against the Bucks, so we'll see if he can make up for his Miss Field Goal yesterday. I said Andrew McCuba is out for the season for the Eagles. It could be. He's having ankle surgery. So he's going to be out for a while.

Starting point is 00:13:56 I shouldn't have said this season. It's not guaranteed. This, according to Jeremy Fowler. All right, everybody. Thank you so much for watching and listening. We'll have much more for you tomorrow with a long look at the waiver wire to get you ready for week 13

Starting point is 00:14:06 and Thanksgiving, side dishes, all the stuff we love. We'll talk to you tomorrow on fantasy football today.
