 Season long fantasy football playoffs are either here or just around the corner, which means these are key waiver wire weeks. We are here to help you set your waivers and get you set weeks 14 and beyond in season long fantasy football. This is the waiver wire Q and A right here on the Fandall YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and Twitter channels. My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for numberfire.com joined here as always by JJ Zacharyson. He is the editor-in-chief of Number Fire and Fandall and the host of the late round podcast, JJ. Week 14 is coming up. It has been a fast season so far. How are you doing today? All I got to say is P, I, T, T. We did it, baby. ACC champs, it's all, that's it. I just had to get it out there on one of these live streams this week. Are we going to get like a Kenny Pickett, NFL draft take out of you or am I getting over my skis here? I just, I want him, I don't know how good of a pro he's going to be. You know, you've done a lot of research and typically guys of his, with his statistical profile don't necessarily pan out at a super high rate. But we have seen, I mean, like Joe Borough hit obviously and we've seen, you know, Mac Jones coming out last year. So we've at least had like some instances where these guys who kind of break out as seniors or in his case, super senior where they're relevant in the NFL. I like the fact that he has decent mobility as we saw with that fake slide against Wake, which was amazing. I was at the game actually. And, you know, I think he has decent mobility. I think he has the right arm. I just, I saw a pro football focus today had their mock and he was going third to Houston, which, which is pretty aggressive, pretty awesome, but pretty aggressive in my opinion. Yeah. I think that it's interesting. And the good thing with Pickett is like, usually the bad thing is if it's, if you're older and less experienced, at least he has a lot of experience. Like he was starting at a young age. I think that does help him quite a bit. We'll talk more about that later on though. I'll get my Sam Howell takes out there and we'll have a grand old time talking to ACC quarterbacks as we get closer to the NFL draft. But as always, we're taking your questions live on wherever you're watching your Facebook, YouTube, Twitch or Twitter, get those questions in. We'll take them live on air to get you set for your waivers for this week. Also a quick reminder, we are on air each and every weekday at 4pm Eastern. Handle YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and Twitter pages. Hit subscribe there. Swing back at 4pm daily. Tom Vecchio has his set tomorrow for NBA. Brandon Gadoula talking Thursday night football this week. And then on Friday, of course, our snake draft as well. Let's start things off here with Shakenbake145 over on YouTube though asking about Tayson Hill. Now, Shakenbake has a middling waiver priority for this week. He could burn that on Tayson Hill or let waivers run, pick up Derek Carr, Cam Newton, Taylor Heinecke or Kirk Cousins after waivers run, keep that priority because he has Jalen Hurts waiting or they have Jalen Hurts waiting for them in week 15 after Hurts is by. So would you burn that middling waiver priority on Tayson Hill this week or save it and potentially knock it hill using one of those other people instead? I can't really tell how necessary a win is in this case. Like if you desperately need a win, like if you absolutely need to win this week, I think burning it on Hill, it's probably the right thing to do when the other options that are listed there have some ambiguity or are somewhat risky. Whereas, I mean, Hill has a chance to, we mentioned on this show last week where and on other shows also, whenever we talked about Tayson Hill earlier this year, but Tayson Hill is basically going to accumulate fantasy points in a similar fashion as Jalen Hurts, which is exactly what we saw this past week. The difference is that he's not as good of a passer as Hurts is, which is also what we saw this past week. But even in leagues where you get minus two points per interception, Tayson Hill was still at like a 21 this past week because he rushed for over a hundred yards. So, if you absolutely need a win, I think that Tayson Hill is still the play and still the guy that you would want. So I'm okay with that and burning that. Who's Vegas get this week again? They are facing Kansas City. Yeah, Kansas City is playing too well for me to like feel like super, super confident in car. Cam was someone in my 15 transactions show in column this week who, I think is a decent streamer because of Atlanta. You have to sort of have a short-term memory of what he did the last time we saw him. But we know the upsides there as well. And I think Heinecke is fine enough, whatever. And then cousins, I would be pretty into cousins if Adam Thielen weren't hurt. I just think that the Steelers defense played really well last week. We know that they can generate pressure, especially when guys are healthy on that defense. And so, yeah, I think I would just go for Hill if you absolutely need a win, if you don't absolutely need a win, what you're saying here, you see he said doesn't absolutely need the win, but it secures me a spot, and it's like, if you're not already in, I'd be a little more aggressive here. Right, if you're telling us that you're not already in the fantasy playoffs, I would pick up Taysom Hill. If you're already in, maybe don't burn it because I'm cool with Jalen Hurts in the fantasy playoffs. They get Washington twice and they get the Giants. I know he didn't look good against the Giants last time, but still a beatable defense. I think he can have some redemption against them. So I'm still gonna plug and play Jalen Hurts in the playoffs, but if you need a win, get Taysom Hill. And I would say too, like if you're fighting for a buy, I might also burn it there too, just because like the buy is so valuable, gives you a lot more room to have some bad weeks and stuff like that. So if you can get a buy, I'd be okay burning it there. I also don't think Cam's that different from Taysom right now, because Taysom's a broken finger, Cam has a broken body. So like they both run a lot. I'm not sure if there's a huge difference. Yeah, I mean, I think that's helped too. Yeah, yeah, I think that's true. I mean, I think I'd like Taysom's rushing upside a little bit more than Cam's, but I think that again, when we look at these players of fantasy football, all players, we're not just talking quarterbacks, but literally all players, you should look at the sort of archetype that they are and the way that they score fantasy points. You know, like a hundred Renfro type, you can't just look at his final output and say, this, you know, he's Deandre Hopkins, because they score fantasy points in a very, very different way. I know you're laughing because there's two completely different water receivers, but Renfro is producing similarly to Deandre Hopkins. You have to think about how they're producing, how sustainable it is, what that all looks like. And that's why I sort of try to group these guys together like that with Taysom Hill. And yeah, I mean, like Cam is in that archetype for sure. Hunter Renfro, here are people with hairlines like mine. So I guess that's a good thing for sure. Grimfan and DJ, both asking about Jalen Guyton, some overlap here in the chapter between Grimfan and DJ, is Jalen Guyton worth an ad? Guyton caught a long touchdown on a disgusting, disgusting pass by Justin Herbert this past week, but Guyton also has not had more than five targets yet this year. He had four on Sunday. Now, Herbert let it rip more on Sunday. He was going deep, more as eight out was 10.2, up from seven to that point. So the charges were aggressive. Keenan Allen is now on the COVID list. Is that enough for you to add Guyton, where are you out on him right now? Yeah, with Keenan Allen on the COVID list, I, you know, that changes things a little bit. You know, if Allen were healthy, if Allen plays, I don't know what his like vaccination status is and if he can play this weekend, I haven't really seen any of that. But, you know, if Allen does go, then you're not playing Jalen Guyton. I mean, you're not playing Guyton at all. If you have Mike Williams and Keenan Allen healthy, I would argue that it's a borderline. You want to roster him even with Keenan Allen potentially out this weekend. You know, he had an 11.4% target share this past week. It's only the third time this season where he hit a double digit percentage target share. That's just not something that like really gets me going. I know that the offense is good, but you can find that kind of target share, that kind of output in good offenses elsewhere. I mean, you're going to find that with like Miko Hardman's and, you know, DeMarcus Robinson types and stuff like that. I mean, it just doesn't really do it for me. I know he's a big play threat and he's shown that he can be a big play threat. So sure, you know, he can, but like, if you're sitting on a regular waiver wire right now, you know, 12 team league waiver wire, there's no reason in my opinion to go after Jalen Guyton versus Marquez Valdescanling where MVS, you're going to actually, you have a locked in workload of him seeing down the field targets, of him being a deep ball threat, of him playing with Aaron Rodgers, just as good as Justin Herbert. And he has that role locked in as opposed to Jalen Guyton would need something to happen for him to have any sort of role like that. So I'm going to, you know, lean with a guy like MVS for sure. And he's out there still in like 80% of leagues. So I would just go that direction as opposed to going Jalen Guyton. MVS is Guyton if you add four or five, like intermediate targets per game. That's a massive, massive difference. It's not just prayer balls. Prayer balls from Justin Herbert hold value, but is it predictive? I think that's the issue there. Dustin here is in the playoffs and is wondering what to do with the Vikings past catchers with Noah Thielen now. Now, Thielen's going to miss this week, which means that the immediate appeal of Conklin and KJ Osborn does go up, but got that second waiver priority, doesn't need a win here. How would you handle that situation? You've already got some decent tight ends and not an immediate threat or wide receiver or need a wide receiver. All right, so I'm trying to figure out, what is the, so he has no a fan and foster morrow. I'm assuming that's what foster means, right? Right. And then what is Philly? Oh, the Saints. Okay, so that's really the Saints. Okay, so I'm trying to piece this together because you're going from first name to last name here, Dustin. It's kind of difficult to comprehend that on the fly. So yeah, I mean, a second waiver priority I probably would not be using on any of these guys. Bottom line. I mean, Conklin I think is a little bit interesting without Adam Thielen and I don't know, we haven't gotten a timetable yet for Thielen, have we, with the high ankle sprain? No, they said not surgery required, that's the only timeline, which means he should be back this year. Right, which is like a really, really, I mean, it's like, if they're talking surgery, at least though, that means that like he's- It ain't great. Yeah, it's not like a really- Because the high ankle, which means it's probably four weeks maybe? Yeah, yeah. Okay, so, you know, I like Conklin though. You know, he saw a little bit of an uptick last week and he had a decent game, but I would say, no, don't burn a waiver priority on those guys. Typically, you know, waiver wire wide receivers in particular, I like Osborne. I don't think we're gonna get a lot of like KJ Osborne's at wide receiver from here on out. So if you really need a wide receiver, like if you're like in desperate desperate need at wide receiver, I can understand like at least blowing a decent amount of your free agent budget on a guy like Osborne this week, just because I don't, you know, we don't typically see wide receivers who are gonna step into a clear cut role, like we're gonna see with KJ Osborne, because Osborne's probably gonna walk into like an 18% target share or so per game, I would assume. And we saw, we saw, so he can play. Right, right. And you just don't see that very often. It's a pretty attractive offense too, because they, you know, whatever from a pass rate standpoint, but they also funnel their targets to specific targets. I mean, Justin Jefferson obviously gonna gobble up like 30% of the team's targets, but they've shown that with KJ Osborne this season that they'll target him. And so I do think, you know, overall that it's not a bad idea to spend more than you probably think on a guy like Osborne, because wide receivers are really tough to find this time of year, just in general on the way to wire versus running backs. But burning that kind of priority on him doesn't make that much sense to me, only because you're not, you're still not gonna probably extract, extract that much value, whereas you can really get that value if it's a running back, you know, backup running back or something like that. And like you think about the depth of the Vikings too, like there isn't much, like Amir Smith-Marcet's been inactive a lot of times this year, despite being a special teams guy. Chris Herndon is like the number two tight end. He's not gonna get targets. So that is gonna keep things concentrated despite the loss of Thielen there. Okay, Joe is asking for sentiment on Russell Wilson this week. Now the Seahawks get a fun matchup. They're facing Houston. Russ has like, hasn't been great, but he's been aggressive in terms of throwing down field. Offense looked a little bit better this week. Like his efficiency numbers were still bad, but that was mostly Gerald Everett, not Russ. So where are we at with Russ? General sentiment on Russell Wilson this week. Yeah, I mean, so, you know, against Houston, I think he's probably in like that Matthew Stafford tier where Stafford's playing Arizona and, you know, Arizona, I think that that game is fairly attractive, but Arizona's defense has been pretty strong this year. So I mean, there's obviously that downside. And then Stafford too, I know that we're talking about Russell Wilson, but Stafford, the Rams of the highest pass to rush touchdown ratio this year, I think there's gonna be a little bit of regression happening for that passing attack. But yeah, I mean, I would put him sort of in that tier. The interesting thing with Russ too, I know that we might get a DK Metcalf question, but DK Metcalf over the four games that Russell Wilson's been back, he's averaging seven targets per game. That's exactly what he averaged from the first eight weeks of his season. And he's averaging almost identical 15 plus area targets as well per game. As you noted, Russell Wilson is still being Russell Wilson. He's still being aggressive. He's just not connecting. He's not playing as well. I'm still on the side of like, I'm gonna bank on, not bank, but I'm gonna lean on the side of trusting the fact that we have a large sample size of Russell Wilson being good. He's coming off that injury. Probably wasn't a hundred percent, even though he talked about being a hundred percent. I'm gonna lean that way as opposed to leaning the other way. It's a good match up against Houston. So I think he's like a low end QB one this week, maybe a high end QB two, but there's, you know, he's in a decent enough spot. Yeah. I mean, he's in a dome. He's facing Houston. Those are two massive bumps up for a guy who has struggled and he's been better, I think, than perception the last two weeks, probably I would say. Dr. Joseph here. Who is your favorite tight end streamer this week? Goddard is on by Logan Thomas likely done for the year. So who are you turning to at tight end? I think you can go to Conk Daddy if he's out there. Love me some Tyler Conklin, you know, against Pittsburgh. I also, I'm trying to look at this list. I had in my 15 transactions column, I think Ricky seals Jones is still a decent ad, you know, without Logan Thomas and the four games that he completed because he did get hurt in that game against Tampa Bay in the four games that he completed without Thomas this year. He averages 16.4% target share per game, which is really strong. He had 11 plus PPR points in two of those four games, which doesn't sound great, but it is at the tight end position. So I don't mind RSJ either. And then there's also Gerald Everett still had pretty good. I know that he had an abomination of a game. I understand guys. And so- I use him in DFS so I can't- I mean like Everett's game. And then we see like Dawson Knox do what he did last night. And it was just like this, the two of them just had the worst games that they could have had here in week 13. But Gerald Everett's peripherals were still there. He had a 16.2% target share. He's had a 20.6% target share per game since Russell Wilson's returned. He ran 29 routes this past week to Will Disleys 13. So he was still the tight end one. I still don't mind Gerald Everett against Houston. I think he's a decent streamer as well. Yeah, Gerald Everett entering last week actually led the Seahawks and targets since Russ came back and that was upsetting for sure. I was talking to Milo here. Who is the ad? And it's got some good names. So I want to ask you, Russell Gage was in 15 transactions, as was KJ Osborne, but also we have MVS who is also in 15 transactions. Then Christian Kirk. I think all four of those names are very interesting. And like Kirk has been good this year. The problem is the targets there are so, so, so volatile. So four good names there, we got. I think that I might go for it and go for upside with KJ Osborne there. Maybe that's spicy, I'm not sure, but the way that I see it is Russell Gage has a decent floor for sure. He's been a top 20 wide receiver in three of his last five, but I don't love the Falcons schedule from here on out. And the Falcons offense just kind of sucks. And then MVS, attractive for sure. If you need a little bit more variance, obviously he has that upside week in and week out. I'm just looking at KJ Osborne as someone, if he sees an 18% target share in Minnesota's offense, I don't think it's out of this question to think that he's like a low-end wide receiver too in fantasy. It's a possible outcome for him, whereas MVS I still think is like in that wide receiver three range. So I think Osborne has more upside. I think MVS is probably like a safer option than him. And then Gage is just sort of like the high floor, maybe not as high of a ceiling. I know what he did last week. I know that you're sitting there saying, oh, but he has a high ceiling. Just the way they utilize him, the way they utilize him. It's not a very attractive offense. I'd rather buy into Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers as opposed to this version of Matt Ryan. And one thing I'll say in favor of MVS too, maybe not over Osborne, but in general, if he's on your waivers, is that in those two games before their buy, he had five short targets. We talked about the deep targets of MVS and like those are what brings the upside. But with MVS, you kind of want more intermediate and short stuff. And he actually had five short targets in both those games with four deep targets in each as well. He's becoming more reliable, I think. I think that's a good endorsement. All right, go ahead. Pretty good playoff schedule for Green Bay too. They get Baltimore without Marlon Humphrey and then they get Cleveland who's been torched at times this year and then they get someone really bad, oh, Minnesota again, which MVS destroyed earlier this season. So it's kind of an interesting playoff schedule for them. Let's go MVS. Let's talk here to Tanantha. Thoughts on unloading your free agent budget on Michael Hasty if you have Eli Mitchell fighting for the last playoff spot. Now I think this might be referring to the fact that Mitchell did leave part of Sunday's game. He came back though. He was checked for a concussion and returned. So personally I don't think there's any injury concern of Mitchell. So it would be just kind of a clear handcuff here. Would you do that for Michael Hasty? No, I don't think it's necessary to unload your entire, I mean, if you want to pick them up, that's fine. I don't even know though if Hasty is the handcuff there. I think that Jeff Wilson is probably the handcuff. Yeah, go ahead. I think the other thing with Hasty is that when he was getting targets earlier this year, Wilson was not active. He was not back yet. So I agree with you where I don't know if Hasty would be the handcuff there. Yeah, I think part of this might be coming from the fact that when Eli Mitchell did get hurt, they gave to Michael Hasty a carry like immediately after. So maybe that has something to do with like the thought of going Hasty. But I mean, I think that what we would probably see if Eli Mitchell, please Elijah Mitchell, please do not get injured. If Elijah Mitchell were to get hurt, I think that what we would probably see is Jeff Wilson seeing early down in work and Elijah Mitchell, or sorry, and Jeff Michael Hasty seeing past catching work. So I think that Wilson would probably be the stereotypical normal handcuff. There's no reason to unload your fob though on him because no one else is thinking about adding one of those running backs this week. Right. Debo might be the true handcuff here anyway. Yeah. Let's talk to Larry. Would you stash to see where his defense for week 15 versus Tennessee? So they face the Vikings this week, not the best spot for them, but facing Tennessee, Julio's likely back this week. AJ Brown, though I believe, has to miss this week and next week. So likely no AJ Brown's still for that spot. Would you stash the Steelers for that matchup? I just saw Tanantha said, and Jeff Wilson hurt his knee apparently. I'd have to look at the Jeff Wilson status. I didn't hear anything about his knee injury. I think he played one snap. I think he and Hasty both played like one or two snaps. Yeah. So I'll look into it. But yeah, I mean, if Wilson's out, then obviously Hasty becomes like the main handcuff. But if he's not, then I would say that Jeff Wilson still is. On stashing the Steelers defense for week 15, probably like an average game, probably like a ranked 13th or 12th rank defense that week. So just depends on who your alternatives are. But again, Pittsburgh can obviously generate pressure. They're a high ceiling play. And if you need that, if you need a little bit more variance within your fantasy lineup, I think that's fine. Yeah. And I think that the other thing that's worth noting there is there might be some value in having that bench spot on a handcuff to hold that as well. So maybe stashing a handcuff versus stashing a defense might be more in play if they're more of a borderline play. It's Dr. Shane here. Talk to Russell Gage before, where do you view him relative to Devonte Parker? Cause Parker was also another guy in 15 transactions came back this past week. Preference for you between those two? I'd probably go Parker over Gage. You know, Parker had a really strong target share before he was injured earlier this season. I know a lot of that had to came before Jalen Waddles like true breakout, but they have a really favorable schedule. And I really like what you could potentially do off the waiver wire this week with Miami players cause they get the Jets in week 15 and no one's going to really be targeting the dolphins this week off the waiver wire because they have a buy. So I might, you know, maybe Russell Gage is maybe a slightly better ad. Maybe I think they're sort of in the same tier, but the fact that you might be able to get Parker for a better value because of that is why I would lean that way. I'm also seeing more talk about Eli Mitchell, Jeff Wilson, and Michael Hasty in the chats. We should eventually get back to that too. Okay. And those are saying he had concussion symptoms yesterday even though he came back in Jeff Wilson didn't play due to knee issues. So Mitchell is apparently doubtful according to pro football doc who is tends to be pretty reliable on these things. That's not ideal. So would you add Hasty with that being in mind? Yeah, I mean, sure. I just, I maybe made the false assumption that if they threw Eli Mitchell back in the football game that he did not have a concussion. But if he's saying he's doubtful and that wasn't just based on like his return to the game after the injury happened, then yeah, but we have to look back into this because I haven't really seen or heard anything of this caliber since Sunday's games. Yeah, I'm looking through his timeline now. I'm just literally on his timeline right now. So he's saying that he was cleared in game and then showed symptoms today. He's in concussion protocol which projects that Mitchell will be out this coming Sunday. So I apparently missed that tweet but I guess it sounds like Eli Mitchell may miss. So how like, was that changed the thought discussion then? Yeah, I didn't see, I don't know how I missed the news on Eli Mitchell either as well. Yeah, I mean, it definitely changes the thought process. I would go, if you, especially if you need a win, I would monitor, look at the status of Jeff Wilson right now, but if Jeff Wilson does indeed have a relatively serious knee injury, then yeah, all of a sudden Hasty is someone that you need to be adding this week. And again, let's get Debo back as well. Sorry about that. I'm sorry that we were not on top of this news. I don't know how that slipped. That's 17 hours ago that he apparently tweeted that and I just totally missed it. Anyway, let's talk to Joseph. Chase Claypool was dropped. Is he worth an ad with Diggs, Locke and Iuk and Antonio Brown potentially back but also most likely not based on the vibes that I've seen. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I would be adding Chase Claypool, especially the next two weeks to get Minnesota and Tennessee. Those are two of the most favorable matchups for wide receivers and he's still seeing decent target share numbers. I know that he hasn't like converted, hasn't scored as many touchdowns as we expected, but he's still a decent enough fantasy asset. He's still like a wide receiver three. So yeah, I would add Chase Claypool. Okay, let's talk to DJ here on some tight ends. Pat Friarmeuth is available facing Minnesota this week. Not a bad spot, not the worst situation for Friarmeuth given his target shares. Would you go with Friarmeuth versus Minnesota? Sure. Yeah, you know, Friarmeuth sees volume and stuff to get that at the tight end position. But yeah, I mean, obviously any of these kinds of questions depends on who you'd be playing over. He said Noah Phant was the alternative here. I missed that one as well. Yeah, Noah Phant has seen, has not had the same route participation with and without Alberto this year. You know, he had that stretch where he was pretty effective and that was a stretch where Alberto was not playing. That offense was just kind of ugly to begin with. And then on top of that, he's just not the priority in the offense because you have two pretty good wide receivers. You have now a backfield that they target a lot. I just, I don't like Noah Phant at all in fantasy. I would much rather go with Pat Friarmeuth. The target ceiling for any Broncos players for, like that's just what it is, except for Javante apparently gets nine. Let's talk to Jake and Baker here. Any thoughts on the Rams backfield going forward and how do we view Jamal Williams? Jamal didn't get much passing game work this week. That went to Godwin and Igweb UK and then with the Rams, Sonya Michelle played a lot with Daryl Henderson being banged up. So it's a muddy situation in both these areas. So how are you viewing these two backfields? I mean, look, I would not be shocked if we saw Sonya Michelle as sort of like the bell cow from here on out. I'm not saying that's the likely outcome. I'm just saying that it's a potential outcome. Like don't think that what happened this past week was strictly because Daryl Henderson was banged up. You know, Jordan Rodriguez was really on top of this last week. You know, we talked about it on the, I think it was the Friday show that we do. But she was talking about how this was not just an injury thing but also the Rams might want to start using Sonya Michelle a little bit more. And then you look at the result and teams often will look at that because they're human and they'll say, okay, you know, last week we finally hit a 100 yard rusher with Sonya Michelle. Maybe we should just keep trotting out Sonya Michelle. It's not that crazy to think that Michelle is gonna be the bell cow in that backfield without Daryl Henderson being as involved or at least, you know being more of the one A in that backfield versus Henderson being the one B which is what I think Henderson should be as a player. Like I don't know if he really is a workhorse running back but he's always sort of played those part-time roles and he's been really effective in those roles with Jamal Williams. I think that he's still worth holding on to. Yes, I think he can still be an RB too but I don't love the matchup this week and Deandre Swift could be back the week after potentially. And so it's sort of like, like I understand maybe not wanting to hold onto him. I think you have to because he's starting running back. He still saw like 71% of the team's running back rushes but as you noted, he was not seeing looks through the air. He did 2.6% target share. He only ran nine routes. Godwin, I'm not even trying to pronounce his last name. I had a conversation with Jim earlier today about pronouncing that last name. And when I recorded my podcast, I had to say it about four different times that I got it right. But yeah, Godwin was the one who ended up seeing he ran 25 routes, which is insane given his journey from a positional eligibility standpoint that he's now like the past catching back in this line's backfield. But yeah, I mean, it's something definitely to monitor and it's not good for Jamal Williams. We all thought that he at least had the potential to be like a low end RB one high end RB two without Deandre Swift. I remember in August, I was reading tweets from Dave Birkin, I think. And I saw like Godwin a good Bukie going through running back drills. And I'm like, am I, am I drunk? What is going on here? He was a safety and I was like very confused by this. It's crazy running back in high school. So he's back. But he's playing like, he's playing like the harder part of being a running back is like the past catching stuff. And that's what he did. It's crazy that he was coming from playing safety. I think he played, correct me from wrong, though. He played, did play running back like in high school and stuff, right? He played running back and safety in high school was allowed to choose which one he wanted to play in college. He chose safety because he didn't want to like destroy his body. And now here he's playing running back anyway. He was a safety in the XFL like two years ago and now is the running back getting a lot of work in the NFL. With Jamal, I think you just change expectations. You don't drop him, but you change expectations. I think that's the way to handle things there. Okay, Larry, I think it's making a roster decision here of who to hold at tight end. Probably has Mike Gasicki, but then as RSJ and waivers. And I think that John Bates has earned a role as a blocker for Washington. I think that RSJ is probably still the better past catching tight end on that team. So I agree that you were even talking about RSJ as being an ad this week. And I feel like John Bates doesn't worry me that much. Is that enough for you to put him above Mike Gasicki, not Devontae Parker back in the fold. I'd probably still go with Gasicki over them. The schedule is really nice for the Jets down the stretch here. And he still had a 27% target share on Sunday. So I'm still gonna lean Gasicki. We have to keep in mind that Gasicki is more of a slot receiver than an actual tight end. Durham smith is like their tight end. And then Gasicki is the slot guy for them. And then they'll throw a waddle in there, whatever. But Parker, he affects them for sure because there's a target share distribution that they don't get to worry about. But I'm still gonna lean Gasicki over RSJ. It's not like RSJ was so unbelievable whenever Logan Thomas was out, but I do like both of them from here on out. Yeah, I'd agree. Let's talk to Shane here. Favorite defensive streamer for this week. You've got Tennessee facing the Jags, New Orleans facing the Jets. And then Carolina facing Atlanta, preference between those three. I would probably lean New Orleans of that group just because the Jets are not going to be able to run the football against New Orleans. And so you're gonna force the pass and that's good news with Zach Wilson under center. I like all of these options though, don't get me wrong. They're all very good options. New Orleans just rostered in way more leagues to be recommended as like a streamer. But Tennessee's a great play. Carolina's a great play. Atlanta's been the best defense and adjusted points allowed this year, or best offense and adjusted points allowed for defenses. So I'd probably go New Orleans though. Yeah, I think that it's hard to pass up a match with the Jets for sure. Grim fan asking about Deontay Foreman and Hilliard, Donchell Hilliard. And I think starts it's stuff we can leave aside, but if both are on waivers, which of those two would you prioritize here? I'm gonna go Deontay Foreman. And the main reason, last time we saw these guys against New England, they had a run heavy approach, but it was a negative game script, a pretty heavy negative game script. And we would have thought that that would favor Hilliard quite a bit because he's been the past catching back or utilized that way in that backfield without Jeremy McNichols. And it was like a 50-50 split in that game. And that tells me that Deontay Foreman, imagine a more positive game script might see a 75-25 type split, which is what we can get against Jacksonville. So I'm gonna go with Foreman over Hilliard. Yeah, I think that would be my lean as well. Okay, Larry says thoughts on Austin Hooper with David and Joku on the COVID list. Also Harrison Bryant's ankle is not right right now. So the Browns may go from three tight ends to one. How does it impact review of Austin Hooper? Yeah, good matchup too. So I think Hooper is also a streamer this week. Okay, let's talk to Shane. How are you and Givante Williams? Obviously this depends on Melvin Gordon's health. So let's assume that Melvin Gordon comes back because if he doesn't come back, you viewed Givante as being unreal. But if he does come back, how are your views of Givante now different from what they were before the Melvin injury? Yeah, I mean, I think that we've seen this in the past where the younger guy finally gets an opportunity and then the veteran comes back and the younger player ends up seeing a little bit more work than what he had previously. So I wouldn't be shocked if we see like a 70-30 split instead of a 50-50 split in favor of Givante Williams. The other thing to keep in mind too, they utilize him a lot as a pass catcher against Kansas City as you noted, but that's been trending in that direction over the last few weeks in terms of like route participation and such. Givante Williams is a beast guy. I mean, like, I'm telling you, like first round redraft material next year, like he's as long as Melvin Gordon's gone. That's how good he is. And I think that we, you know, they released him, they saw what he could do. It's gonna be really, really hard to keep that in the garage, you know? Like it's just gonna be really, really difficult to not utilize Williams. And Denver, I believe, is still technically in it. And so I don't think that there's any reason for them to not, you know, try and utilize a guy like Williams who's just a better player than Melvin Gordon at this point. And Melvin Gordon's fine. It's just that Givante Williams is very good. Like they're still in it. Vic Fang is in the hot seat. Pat Shermer's in the hot seat. There's a lot of stuff that could push them towards giving Givante a better role than what he had previously. That is all the time that we have here for today on this waiver wire Q and A.
