Starting point is 00:01:04 I'm going to look at the most activated players, players who were on the bench that are now being started. But before we do that, we do have some beat the waiver wire. Two of you need to beat the waiver wire for next week, right? Well, four of you, but only will matter for only two of you. Dave, who should we be looking at to beat the waiver wire? Let's think positively. If we win this week, we're playing in week 17. That's either the championship or semi-f semi final depending on how ridiculous your league is. I'll

Starting point is 00:01:27 start with DSTs. Colts are pretty highly rostered already. People have been near the punch on them and the Buccaneers, both of them favorable matchups. The Dolphins play at Cleveland in week 17. That's a 52% availability right there and I don't know if you can trust the Raiders at 92% available. They do take on the Saints. It's it's a little risky, but that defense has been playing a little bit better lately. Also, the Chargers highly rostered already. You might be able to get them on Tuesday depending on how your league is that

Starting point is 00:01:57 quarterback. The case for Aaron Rodgers at Buffalo in week seventeen is this if he looks good again and if Buffalo's defense struggles again, then you'll have more confidence to start Aaron Rogers. He's available in about half of CBS Sports Leagues. There's a lot of other quarterbacks that are just like, I don't feel great about Aiden O'Connell, Drake May, Mason Rudolph, Mac Jones, and Bryce Young, but I do think it might be worth the stash and

Starting point is 00:02:21 this is if you're struggling a quarterback or if your possible opponent in week Michael Pettix 61% availa in week 17. The list for isn't necessarily week 17 just guys I want to stash still 40% available. If h for Tennessee, he's a mus

Starting point is 00:02:43 him. Uh Kendra Miller, 36% available should be the Saints running back the rest of the season. Patrick Taylor for the 49ers, 52% available and in those smaller leagues Alexander Madison, 30% available receivers. Jalen McMillan.

Starting point is 00:02:57 What's wrong with you guys? He's still available in 51% of leagues. I would go and grab him. I would consider stas 35% available because wha big game for the Packers lot more confident in him guy. Other wide receivers

Starting point is 00:03:15 Lave, especially if you h 37% available and then Ma Coker. I've been saying K Those three would be on t throw a robo doons a in t Brown, Jaylen Coker, I've been saying Keon Coleman's name. Those three would be on the list. You can throw Romo Dunze in there as well. Tight end, Brenton Strange, still available in about 70% of CBS Sports Leagues, gets Tennessee in week 17. Not an easy matchup, but one where I think the Jaguars will have a tough time running and that means check downs from Mac Jones. Brenton Strange gets those.

Starting point is 00:03:42 I will still bang the drum. It'll just be a quiet bang for Jake Ferguson, 40% available. He's got Philadelphia entering this week. Philadelphia is allowed 9.7 half PPR points to a tight end. Four times five games. Isaiah likely is the other name. 57% available takes on Houston

Starting point is 00:04:02 entering this week. Houston's allowed at least 8.6 half PPR points to for the past five tight ends and what if Rashad Bateman is out this week next week? Maybe Isaiah likely does see an uptick in targets. Okay, good stuff and let's get to the week 16 start sit, you know, dilemmas and talk about the players who are being activated, who are being put in lineups. First of all, you mentioned the Colts DST as a stash, but they're actually the most activated. They've gone from 10% started to 50% started for their matchup against the Titans. The Bills have been horrible defensively, but their DST is going from 33% started to 72% started. Do you like the

Starting point is 00:04:41 Colts or the Bills DST this week? I like the Bills better. I think they're both startable options. I would start the Packers and the Falcons over both of them. Jerome Ford is the most activated non DST. It makes sense. Yes. Who would you start Jerome Ford over? Start him over Najee Harris, Brian Robinson. I would start him over the Raiders running backs. I would start him over Kendre Miller. Um, certainly over Zach Charbonneau if Ken Walker is active, but he's, he's kind of a middle to low end number two fantasy running back.

Starting point is 00:05:13 I actually am going to start Rob Brian Robinson Jr. Over Jerome Ford. Just like man, Jerome Ford's playing Cincinnati and he's got a good workload in front of them should play about two thirds of the snaps might have a tough time scoring a touchdown, certainly from inside the five that could go to Deontay Foreman. But I sent you the information on Dorian Thompson Robinson. His accuracy on throws 10 plus yards downfield is terrible. He's he should be leaning on Jerome Ford quite a bit. Should get at least three catches in the game

Starting point is 00:05:45 He has what what would you say 11 catches in three games? Yeah, DTR last year. Okay, that's not so bad I can do the math on that. It's almost for a game if that helps provide a safe floor for a boom bust back like Ford Bucky Irving is on the most activated list Jamie Eisenberg started the week And I think I like him more than Jamie does. I expect a high scoring game between the Bucks and the Cowboys and Bucky Irving is just playing well. We know that he can win on the ground. We know that he can win through the air and I don't think it's a cinch that Rashad White

Starting point is 00:06:17 is getting every short yardage goal line carry for Tampa. Bucky could get in there as well. Breeze Hall is now up to 63% started from 39 last week. Do you have faith in Breeze Hall? I I have faith if he isn't on the injury report and that's what it seems like. I know that there's some confusion there,

Starting point is 00:06:36 but if he's cleared and good to go, then yeah, I think Breeze Hall should see it certainly an uptick in touches, and hopefully it looks better than he did last week. But the match against the Rams look a lot of teams have run the ball very well against the Rams. 49ers not withstanding last week. And then we've got Kendry Miller. Let's talk about him.

Starting point is 00:06:56 Let's talk about him. I love the talent. Don't love the situation. Although I think the offensive line there is good, but the Packers run defense has been great over their last five games. 3.7 yards per carry. Can Kendra Miller score a touchdown? I think it's always possible when it comes to a running back that should touch the ball as much as Kendra Miller is going to touch the ball, but GameScript could work against him, could take carries away from him in the second half. And so I would pump the brakes on Miller is more of like a desperation running back this week, not even a top 24 running back. All those running backs that I talked about as guys who I would sit for Jerome Ford, almost all of them, I would start ahead of Kendra Miller. All right, we're going to take a quick break and come back with your questions in the YouTube chat on FFT Express.

Starting point is 00:07:42 Tis the season to treat your family to the great taste of Popeyes. The festive family box is here to make your holidays brighter with all your Popeyes favorites. For just $25, you'll get four pieces of delicious Popeyes signature chicken, four tasty chicken tenders, four regular size, and everybody's favorite, four buttermilk biscuits.

Starting point is 00:08:03 Hurry up though, like the holiday season, Popeye's $25 Fist of Family Box deal will be over before you know it. Love that chicken from Popeye's. Here we go, let's finish up with Mel saying, wait, did Dave say the Falcons over the Bills? I did. All right.

Starting point is 00:08:22 Nijoku, if he plays, Craft or Strange PPR. If Nijoku plays, I will start Nijoku, but I would not expect Nijoku to go. Count on Strange being your pick in full PPR. Brian Robinson Jr. or Breeze Hall? If Breeze is cleared and good to go, I'm going to start him over Brian Robinson. I don't like the matchup for Brian Robinson. We got Pacheco or Brian Robinson Jr. and Patrick Taylor or Spears. I don't like the matchup for Brian Robinson. We got Pacheco or Brian Robinson Jr. and Patrick Taylor or Spears. I don't like the matchup for Brian Robinson, but I don't like what I've seen from Isaiah Pacheco where he's sharing with two other running backs. And honestly, the Texans matchup, it's not the worst in the world, but they did just shut down Devon A. Chan on the ground last week.

Starting point is 00:09:01 I would start Robinson over Pacheco and I would go with Spears on the bench over Taylor. Am I cutting Pacheco for Spears? I'll tell you what, I might consider that because if Tony Pollard is out, I'll start Spears over both Robinson and Pacheco. But Tony Pollard's got to be out for that to happen. Pick my DST, Cardinals, Eagles, Lions or Raiders. It's the Eagles and I know it's a difficult matchup against the commanders, but I just I like to count on strong defenses and I think they're one of them. Again, this is another situation where I would double check the waiver wire for Packers and

Starting point is 00:09:36 Falcons DSTs at minimum ahead of Philadelphia. Ramondre Madison, Patrick Taylor, pick one. I might end up going with Madison because Ramondre Stevenson, very game script dependent. And this is a game where I think the Patriots are going to be chasing points. And that's usually very bad for Ramondre Stevenson, who's almost a touchdown or bus running back to begin with. And you can almost see Alexander Madison. We talked about this on the main show. Jamie Eisenberg was way into Madison because of the matchup against Jacksonville. It's favorable for the Raiders. Raiders offensive line isn't a disaster. Maybe he goes out there, gets 12-14 carries, certainly has a shot to find the end zone. Just big question mark about how much he'll play on passing down. Last one here,

Starting point is 00:10:18 Dowdell or Breeze Hall? And McMillan is definitely worth a stash, possibly a start. I'll take Dowdell over Hall, even if Hall is good to go. All right. Hope you're good to go with those lineups for week 16. For Dave, I'm Adam. Have a great weekend, everybody. Talk to you on Sunday on FFT Express.
