0:00Waiverwire pickups are very interesting
0:02because you can no longer be thinking
0:03about long-term upside. You can't roster
0:06by Shell Tutin and think, "Oh, he's
0:08going to expand his role as the season
0:09goes on." No, we're in the playoffs,
0:11right? It's about what can you do for me
0:13right this second. Which is why if I'm
0:16going to be ranking the Waverwire
0:18pickups this week, I'm actually going to
0:20be going to a player that may be
0:21rostered in your league. I have him on
0:24my bench currently. The number one
0:26pickup across all leagues will be Harold
0:29Fannon. Now, of course, like I said,
0:31maybe he's already rostered in your
0:32format. We'll go deeper as this video
0:34goes on. We'll also talk about Trader
0:36Joe Sanders's quarterback later in this
0:38video. But first, we need to talk about
0:41the tight end that I plan on playing
0:43Dallas through the rest of the season.
0:45Couple different things with Harold
0:47Fannon. One, let's just get it out of
0:48the gate that he now has back-to-back
0:50games with double-digit fantasy points.
0:52He just dropped 25 points this past week
0:56and now he is, I believe, the Titans six
0:59in fantasy points on the season. The
1:01second thing that I want to discuss here
1:03with Harold Fannon is the David Injoku
1:06injury. Now, obviously, if you were
1:09looking at the usage that we had with
1:11Harold Fannon earlier in the year, it
1:13wasn't like he's a fulltime tight end.
1:16It's not like he's out there running 90
1:18plus% of the routes. And that's really
1:21because David and Jooku was consistently
1:25seeing 84 82 76 84 96% of the snaps
1:30early in the season. But if you look at
1:32the past three weeks, Harold Fannon has
1:35now played at least 90% of the snaps
1:38every single week. David and Jooku had
1:41an injury in week 14 that is leaving his
1:44status for week 15 up in the air. And
1:47all of a sudden, Harold Fannon may
1:49project out to be a top five tight end
1:51in fantasy football with no David and
1:54Jooku if Sitter Sanders is going to be
1:57able to elevate the overall passing
1:58volume that we are going to expect in
2:00this offense. Harold Fannon was a
2:02interesting tight end prospect coming
2:04into the league. I'm going to be honest
2:06in dynasty Leagues I thought Harold
2:08Fannon was no longer interesting once he
2:11went to the Cleveland Browns. A bad
2:12offense where on paper he was going to
2:14be the backup tight end. Well, now the
2:16offense looks like it's going to be
2:18still bad, but better. And David and
2:21Jookoku out of the way means Harold
2:23Fannon's probably a must-star tight end.
2:25Now, the next name that went to a
2:28crowded situation early, but all of a
2:30sudden looks like he can be startable
2:33over the next few weeks is going to be
2:35Luther Burton. Now, I didn't think
2:37Luther Burton was a super interesting
2:38start against the Green Bay Packers
2:40because it was a really tough matchup
2:42this past week and obviously we hadn't
2:44seen Luther Burton really ever command
2:46volume so far this year. But Luther
2:49Burton played 71% of the snaps with no
2:52Roma Dunce in the lineup. And even
2:55though it was a tough matchup, Luther
2:57Burden still scored 11 fantasy points.
2:59Now, the expectations for this Luther
3:01Burden pickup are going to be that you
3:04do not have Roma over the next few
3:06weeks. If Rome is playing this week,
3:09then all of a sudden, you listen to me
3:12in this ear and let it go out the other
3:14ear because this Luther Burden pickup's
3:16not going to matter at all. But it does
3:18look like he is the wide receiver one
3:20for Caleb Williams over DJ Moore at this
3:22point. He was a very strong prospect. A
3:25lot of people thought he was going to go
3:26in round one. and then obviously slides
3:28to the top of round two and he's turning
3:30into I mean a pretty much every route
3:33participation wide receiver. So Luther
3:36Burden should be rostered in every
3:38format and of course when I say every
3:40format I am exaggerating if you're
3:42playing in a 10 team league with shallow
3:43benches. Maybe you have better
3:45waiverwire options what I'm talking
3:47about right now. So please it's
3:49completely free. Just go to
3:50flockfantasy.com if you play on Sleeper
3:52ESPN Yahoo. You can link your team to
3:55the my teams page. It will give you
3:57customized waiver options based off rest
3:59of season rankings in the far right
4:01column and you'll get a bunch of free
4:04tools that again they're free. Take
4:06advantage of them. Now going over and
4:08looking at Blake Cororm. I know we
4:10talked about Blake Cororm. I want to say
4:12maybe this is like the third straight
4:13video. We definitely been talking about
4:14him a lot as of late. And the reason for
4:17that is he had established himself as
4:19the clear backup to Kairen Williams.
4:22Now, I know a lot of people are going to
4:24think maybe um he is startable this next
4:27week. Let's not be crazy, right? Because
4:29we can see the same thing happening with
4:31maybe like Tyler Algier where we've seen
4:34Tyler Algier earlier this season come
4:36off a game with multiple rushing
4:38touchdowns and then the following week
4:40he's absolutely nothing. Um Blake Cororm
4:42coming up not only multiple rushing
4:44touchdowns, but at the same time goes
4:46for over a 100red rushing yards. I do
4:49want to be on the record though. The
4:50only way that he would ever be startable
4:53over the coming weeks is going to be if
4:55you were to get that injury to Kairen
4:56Williams. His role is large enough where
4:59maybe he gives you a random usable week
5:01here. But for you to be able to predict
5:03that on a playoff team nonetheless, it's
5:06probably not going to happen. Now, if
5:09Devon Achan were to miss, Jaylen Wright
5:12is probably going to be flexy this next
5:14week at Pittsburgh. Now, the reason I'm
5:17going to have Jaylen Wright lower in
5:19these rankings going to be the fact that
5:22I am expecting Devon Aan plays this
5:24week. Does that mean that Jaylen Wright
5:27isn't worth a pickup? No. Especially if
5:29you have deeper benches or especially if
5:31you have Devon Achan. I would say that
5:34you should be considering rostering
5:35Jaylen Wright given the fact that when
5:39Devon Achan went down, while yes, Olly
5:41Gordon was on the field some, Jaylen
5:43Wright was the primary backup. He did
5:46have over a 100 rushing yards while at
5:48the same time he had 24 carries. And if
5:52on the off chance Devon Chan were to
5:55miss multiple weeks, you actually get
5:58Jaylen Wright against the Cincinnati
6:00Bengals, the worst rush defense in the
6:02league and one of the worst rush
6:04defenses of all time in week 16 as well.
6:08Now, Jaden Reed is going to be an
6:10interesting pickup for leagues where you
6:13have multiple flex spots, right? But I'm
6:15going to be honest, um, Gene Reed
6:17probably not somebody that's worth
6:19starting. I felt like it was worth us at
6:21least bringing him up now that he is
6:24actually back. Um, but obviously if we
6:26were looking at players that are coming
6:28back from injuries, Mike Evans would be
6:30a much much much better pickup. I talked
6:32about Mike Evans last week. He's
6:33rostered in 74% of leagues now. So I'm
6:35assuming here everybody understands pick
6:38up Mike Evans if you can, especially
6:39when we talked about him the rest of
6:41season wide receiver rankings. But yeah,
6:43um Jaden Reed, if you need a depth wide
6:45receiver in deeper formats, could be a
6:47guy, but definitely doesn't need to be
6:49rostered in every format. Then with
6:51Devin Singleary,
6:53um obviously you had this team on buy
6:56last week, so we sadly didn't really get
6:58any information with the Tyrone Tracy
7:00injury. Um but the initial reports were
7:04positive that it does seem like Tyrone
7:06Tracy is probably going to be playing in
7:08week 15. But on the off chance Tyron
7:11Tracy were to miss, then obviously this
7:13running back room has lost both Tracy as
7:16well as Cam Scataboo, which would leave
7:18Devin Singleary is the last man standing
7:20going up against Washington, one of the
7:22worst defenses in the league in a very
7:25rare instance in which the Giants would
7:27be favored. Now, I know a lot of people
7:29are going to consider picking up Shudder
7:31Sanders. And I'm going to be honest with
7:33you, Chief, I don't think you should.
7:36Shar Sanders this past week a phenomenal
7:39day for fantasy football 34 points while
7:43at the same time this coaching staff's
7:45come out and they've said yep should
7:48Sanders is our starting quarterback
7:50through the rest of the season. Now if
7:52he had a tremendous amount of rushing
7:54upside maybe I'd be willing to change my
7:56tune on this. Maybe I'd be willing to go
7:58out there and say, "Oh, you know what?
7:59No." definitely showed enough by
8:02almost beating the Tennessee Titans this
8:04past week that he is worth that roster
8:06spot. But I mean, no. I mean, he's had
8:09what, a total of like 60 rushing yards
8:14in I'm sorry, 50 rushing yards in four
8:17games played. So, he's not really
8:19running the ball. What you would need is
8:20you'd need 350 plus passing yards. And I
8:24don't think that's going to happen very
8:25often with the Browns. Really, the only
8:27Browns players that I want to start are
8:28going to be Harold Fannon as well as
8:30Quinn Sean Judkins. And then let's go
8:33over and let's look at what we have with
8:35the defensive options in week 15. Now, I
8:39do want to put it out there that I am
8:42a-okay with everybody here rostering two
8:45defenses for the fantasy football
8:47playoff stretch. You've heard me say it
8:48a thousand times, but I have a buy on my
8:52team. So, I don't really have to worry
8:54about playing another game until week 16
8:56will be the semifinals for me and week
8:5817 will be my finals. What I did is I
9:01went ahead, I picked up the Rams DST a
9:05couple weeks ago because I really like
9:08the matchup. One, I think they're a
9:09great defense, and two, at the same
9:11time, I really like the matchup that
9:13they have playing against the Atlanta
9:14Falcons in week 17. And then on top of
9:17that, what I did a week ago is I looked
9:20ahead to the week 16 matchups and we saw
9:23Buffalo was playing against the
9:25Cleveland Browns and I went ahead and I
9:27picked up the Buffalo Bills defense for
9:30week 16. So feel free to roster two
9:33defenses. Look at the week 15 and 16
9:35matchups. Um some of the best defenses
9:38for this upcoming week, the Eagles get
9:40to play the Raiders. The Seahawks get to
9:42play the Colts with no quarterback. Um,
9:44the Jags get to play the Jets with no
9:46quarterback. The Niners get to play
9:48against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans
9:51obviously already rostered in the
9:52league, but the Bears get to play
9:54against the Cleveland Browns. The
9:56Carolina Panthers get to play against
9:58the New Orleans Saints. So, I would look
10:00to see if any of those defenses are
10:02available on your Waverwire. But, I
10:05think that's all I got for you. I really
10:07appreciate you. I want to remind you for
10:09free waiverwire suggestions and where
10:12it's actually customized to the guys
10:13that are on your waiverwire. Link your
10:16team with flockfantasy.com on the my
10:17teams page. It is completely free. Links
10:20in the description comment section. But
10:23much love. I really appreciate you and
10:25I'll see you out in the live stream
10:26later
