Week 17 Waiver Wire Must Adds! | Fantasy Football 2023

Week 17 Waiver Wire Must Adds! | Fantasy Football 2023

It’s week 17 in the NFL did you make it well I made it thanks to Christian barmore he’s pretty good huh okay ah let’s talk about that and more today on the audible got team Domin league go to football guys football I’m living in a fantasy football got everybody m meall cuz every

Game I had to win I got to be a championing in FY week 17 WWI it is Camy Sigman Bloom and did you make it and did you not make it because of Brock pie Bloom I was expecting a better game on Christmas Eve yeah I think that Mike McDonald you know

We’ve talked a lot about Ben Johnson as The Hot coordinator on the ride the name that all the teams are going to be after that are looking for head coaches in 2024 but maybe we need to talk a little more about Mike McDonald and McDonald has stepped in and created not just the

Number one pass defense but what you saw in Doug Ferrar who is should be on your short list of football writers that you make sure to tune into every week detailed how Mike McDonald allaha bill bich in the Super Bowl against Jared gof show showed pry one thing before the

Snap and then he saw something very different after the ball was snapped I think that’s what you have to do I think it gets back to the discussion we always return to which is the quarterback position is a mental position first and formost not a physical position and I

Think the Ravens were able to reverse engineer this is how perie is so successful based on what you show him so if you show him and induce him into a certain expectation I think Bel cut the cord and just confused Goff changing the look after the 15-second cut off in the

Headset so McVey couldn’t see him I think that McDonald and the Ravens anticipated what pie would do based on the what the look would be and then showed him something that would be lethal anticipating that and it’s going to be interesting to see if you can copy

That as teams finally slow down the hottest offense in the league in the second half of the Year well that offense is not necessarily paint by numbers but it’s about execution like if that offense is executed it’s incredibly difficult to beat but if you look at

Your quarterback and say It’s A and B and then he gets the snap and like all of a sudden C is there but you had called it for a or b it’s you know it’s very confounding uh I think the overreaction on social networking which is I gu guess

Just a thing um you know it’s like he went from MVP to blah blah okay okay enough buddy enough can we praise Lamar Jackson on the flip side like uh Brock P’s played some good football this year I thought Sam darnold looked good coming in when pie had the Stinger of course

Darnold look good there’s many around the team that say he’s the best pure passer that Kyle Shanahan’s ever had so we need to pump our breaks with the overreaction and we need to possibly find quarterback help if you had Trevor Lawrence that’s the other guy I wanted to talk about today besides praising

Lamar Jackson um because you heard what troyman said about like his work ethic after he got the money so many people are worried about players like when they get their contract what are they going to do if you Lamar you just get into the get into the lab uh let’s talk about

Trevor Lawrence toughest quarterback in the league and too many questions too many injuries mounting every week at somebody El something else yeah it is and maybe this division is not de ided yet so that could push him to get out there over CJ bethard against Carolina a

Past defense that at least on paper had been limiting for Fantasy maybe just because they were playing from behind but with Z Jones banged up don’t think we’re g to see him we see this pass offense shrink and I think even if Trevor Lawrence’s active cease you might

Be looking to the waiver wire or looking at your backup somebody like uh I think Derek Carr at this point you would definitely play over Trevor Lawrence he had eight pass touchdowns in the last three weeks since facing Tampa Bay uh you might look at Nick Mullins depends

On your negatives for interceptions 400 yards four interceptions does sound like Jordan Addison’s gonna play and hey just throwing it up for Justin Jefferson that’s not a bad game plan certainly not bad for fantasy football against Green Bay if jacobe brassette starts against San Francisco that becomes interesting simply because brassette has brought

This offense to life each of the last two weeks and he’s been in even Ty trod Taylor for that matter against the Rams remember he was a low-end quarterback one I guess what I’m trying to say CE is Lawrence active is not necessarily A

Sigh of relief oh I can put him in my lineup because as you said the injuries are mounting Z Jones not being out there hurts this pass offense and there’s some other quarterbacks that have momentum right now yeah the momentum on your side at least you hope rolling into

Championship week here in week 17 talking some running backs now and oh my goodness uh zamir white enough enough yeah Aden o conell couldn’t do anything Josh Jacobs didn’t play because of his quad and here comes zamir white uh if he’s out there if your rers are open

Obviously that’s who you’re picking up this week yeah and it might be someone you trust we’re going to wait to see about Jacobs it’s not clear if it was the illness or a setback or a combination that kept him out uh the Raiders are still alive in the playoff

Race mathematically facing the Colts uh this is a team that is playing their hearts out for Antonio Pierce would love to see him get a chance to show what he can do as the head coach for this team next year and we saw against the Chiefs that zamir White’s gonna get as much

Work as he can handle and see we see these no-name running backs and it’s difficult you know somebody said to me assuming Jacobs is out I can play zamir White or Tony Pard going up against Detroit I’m not sure that Pard is the right answer even though we know Pard

Gets a certain amount of volume simply because white has those fresh legs and we saw at the end of the win over the Chiefs how he was able to finish that game for them and I think that’s because he hasn’t had the punishment that most running backs most football players have

Had at this point so I think zamir white also remember in your Dynasty leagues giving the Raiders something to think about as the will have another decision on Josh Jacobs next year and we know what that decision is yeah we know what that decision is uh

Running backs go get as much as you can while you can because then it comes into like we’re just not going to pay you um we’re just not going to play you says the Bears to Dante Foreman that situation just continues to be a mess Bloom I know and all backs are talented

There that’s the thing that’s why I was so upset when Roshan Johnson went there I was like oh damn it and I love K Herbert but even Herbert or Foreman or Johnson like H it’s difficult fantasy championships are on the line you can’t screw it up no I do think that

Herbert now I wouldn’t say he has quite the same appeal as white unless foran is out Foreman’s out now you’re looking at Herbert in a matchup against Atlanta where I know Atlanta’s run defense held down uh Jonathan Taylor last week but Herbert again he looks fresh we’re

Seeing that burst and we’re also seeing that Justin Fields is making defenses play 11on 11 football and opening up those running Lanes both for him and for his running backs uh think that DJ Moore is going to get to play but I do think that what you’re going to see is a very

Runhe heavy Bears game plan here uh and why not you know Atlanta is not exactly gonna light up the scoreboard so Herbert is the pickup for this week but will he be a play we have to see if this personal issue that kept Dante Foreman out lingers into week 17 yeah did you

Have to let it linger Bloom no I’m a zombie zombie zombie all right I’m a zombie and I’m waiting for my coffee to be done so in the meantime we talk about the wide receiver position and what did we learn this week fantasy football is a wicked mistress because

Amari Cooper was Al on a lot of benches chat room’s already talking about it and Amari Cooper goes off in a way that players just don’t go off like that so if you went up against Amari Cooper good luck and if you made it with namari Cooper through on your bench you’re

Lucky again fantasy football is skill and luck combined and when the luck factors in it pisses us off but we all just have to know that’s what it is going into it yeah I think that see we can talk about Amari Cooper we can talk about George

Pickins we can even throw a little derus Slayton in there what do these guys all have in common other than being players who can do damage downfield quarterback changes so we have to be open to these possibilities I think with Joe flacko we were already open to it because we saw

Flacko was pushing the ball downfield in a way Deshawn Watson wasn’t and that really brought Amari Cooper to life for Fantasy we just couldn’t have anticipated that it it went as poorly as it did for the Texans defense except well Zach Wilson had his last happy memory as an NFL player against the

Texans just a few weeks ago uh now with Pickins you go back to him with Mason Rudolph Seattle probably is not gonna have dein wither spoon for this one uh I don’t know if R Woolen would follow Pickins do know that Mason Rudolph who had a chance to make more happy memories

Realized see we talked about this in the preview show why not just wing it why not just let it hang out yeah he can make you look pretty smart for that darus Slayton becomes interesting now as a what the heck Flex type play against the Rams with trod Taylor possibly

Starting he had that long touchdown against the Eagles but CE to go back to your original point because you know we’re gonna get crunchy here especially in week 17 I think that there’s a parallel here in the NFL again it’s a war of attrition you’re going to go

Through setbacks you’re going to go through adversity you’re gonna have disappointment you’re gonna have uh underperforming players at the worst possible time but hopefully where skill comes in is skill tends to separate teams that make the playoffs and don’t make the playoffs say this the NFL too

And what your ticket to the playoffs buys you is a chance to benefit from that luck it’s not saying the luck won’t play a role but now you’re in the bracket and I think CE we can look at any of our playoff matchups whether we win or lose if we

Win of course we’re inclined to say well we won because I put that player in or drafted that player or traded that player traded for that player but I I encourage people to look at their wins hopefully they had at least one and look at the way that luck benefited them that

Their opponent left someone on the bench that their opponent had someone get hurt that their opponent was hurt by a quarterback change or a game script that maybe they didn’t necessarily deserve to win uh and that’s just always going to be there you don’t make sense out of it

You just try to survive so that you can be the one that benefits from what doesn’t make sense I wonder what Jerry Judy will look like when they make a change at quarterback yeah I mean it’s written it’s so it shall be written so it shall be done

Um if Russell Wilson gets hurt over the next two games they owe him like 40 million right like why why why why would you play him yeah why you didn’t want to call a damn game plan when they made the comeback on Christmas Eve and then you

Get the drive when you need a minute and a half left game’s tied and you keep throwing stupid screen passes to saachi perine like Sean we get it you don’t like him right we understand now I’m not telling you to pick up Jared Stam but these are the type of decisions that are

Made at the end of the year we’ll see if it actually happens Sean actually talks here in 30 minutes or whatever well I’m sure he’ll be a ball of Joy this morning yeah well ah I mean it’s funny how the winding road of the NFL season takes us

To many places but often drops us back where we started right ceas where we said before the Broncos turn their season around and then had their season fizzle out that where is the direction this franchise gonna come from other than Shawn Payton what who who is the signature player what is the signature

Style or ethos of this team opportunistic defense I mean that’s about the only thing I think they could pull out of this season but that’s not something you build a franchise around so I agree with you uh but the quarterback change theme I think is a

Good one here because I will tell you not pick up Jared stum but if Jared stum is in do we remember week 17 last year against San Francisco mind you 365 and three touchdowns against San Francisco and I know that if you have Devonte Adams you’re smarting you might not have

Made it but if you do get uh Jared simman there Devonte Adams had seven for 153 and two touchdowns in that game following a two for 15 game against Steelers now Courtland suton in the concussion we’ll see good call on Brandon Johnson I mean it was a week ago

I’m you the only person in the entire fantasy football universe who even knows who Brandon Johnson is so maybe he could be an obstacle to Jerry Judy but maybe this could be the game where Jerry Judy is a potential what the heck flex and I think it always comes back to can you

Not with the what the heck Flex you just can you tell yourself a story where it works out as in George Pickins last week it could be Jerry Judy this week yeah YOLO ball man what happens when guys get in and they don’t have a chance after

This one right just going to throw it up might as well right yeah might as well get it done uh TJ hackinson is not g to play got some tight end injuries to uh concern ourselves with here and uh well no Addison no hackinson it is going to be throw it up

To Justin jerson like you said yeah we’ll see about Addison there is some early indications that Addison could play although we warn everybody that whatever is said on Tuesday Wednesday it’s what said on Friday what’s written on the injury report on Friday that really should guide us uh

But I think that looking at the ripples of these tight energes KJ Osborne becomes a what the heck Flex even if Addison can play and uh looking at Cole KT potentially being out like we said we expect the Bears to go run heavy there if you’re looking for a tight endend

Pickup this week Joan Johnson had another touchdown last week again Derek Carr’s playing well and this matchup against Tampa Bay should be one that gives New Orleans a lot of chances to compile statistics through the air uh and let’s talk about chiggy finally I don’t know if they’re gonna call another

Derrick Henry pass to chiggy but even without that he was a solid play this is the Houston Texans defense that although saw a spirited game where they turned it around against Tennessee uh two weeks ago sandwiching that game two terrible defensive performances maybe this is a a

Team that’s running out of gas and also if CJ stra is back this week maybe this game turns into a high-scoring game and the chaos really cease I you know the AFC wild card picture it’s like a clown car and they all try to run through another door at once and Bonk their

Heads and knock each other out the the the Battle Royale where who can get up first off the mat that it’s not who can strive it’s who can actually wake up in time to hit the alarm clock and actually get to nine maybe 10 wins and a playoff

Birth that’s what the Texans are gonna try to do the next two weeks did Vance Joseph show the rest of the league how to deal with Travis Kelce because if you’re Travis Kelsey fantasy Jim you’re not feeling real confident right now no and you’re not benching I don’t I have a scenario where

You’re benching Travis Kelce I mean if someone really has Travis Kelce and Trey McBride I guess you Flex one of them but I do think C I don’t want to say anything too obvious here but there was an argument and I wasn’t necessarily compelled by it that eventually Travis

Kel is gonna slow down 33 34 years old uh we had had seen tight ends like Tony Gonzalez Antonio Gates you age somewhat gracefully but when you see how Kelce is moving out there he hasn’t really done much in the second half of the year as a

Fantasy commodity and you see the way he’s moving out there and he does look like a player where the decline is starting now and I think that’s why the Chiefs had had so much trouble scoring not so much because of the lack of reliable wide receivers because that was

An issue last year but kelse is not turning games anymore and I I think a a weakened Kansas City it’s still very good though for the AFC playoff bracket remaining more interesting remaining more interesting that’s right uh it seemed like all the Chiefs had too much eggnog or

Something there’s some sort of party like did did I miss something because I mean they couldn’t get motivated at all well I always used airplane people still remember that movie we’re gonna come up on the 50th Anniversary some of these movies soon uh the fish they atat the fish I think the

Chiefs are maybe just a little overconfident and we talk about teams taking on the personality of their head coach and their quarterback Patrick Mahomes just looks weary right Patrick Mahomes looks tired he looks like this is one of the situations where maybe because they’re not getting the breaks because they’re

Not finding a way to pull out these wins we saw that emotional Outburst at the end of the Bills game right and we saw that he was really rattled by how that game inspired and I think that there is a sense of mountaining chiefs of uh getting the calls or getting the

Breaks or otherwise having things go their way I’m not saying this team isn’t emotionally resilient I’m saying they’re going to find out if they are over the next few weeks yeah and uh well control yourselves because if I’m an opponent and I see Mahomes losing his mind on the

Sidelines I’m like yeah want do that some more like yeah you’ve become that like I don’t personally get upset with all the Chiefs commercials or whatever I just kind of roll my eyes cuz whatever it’s commercials and they’ve got rings so they’ve got Hardware like I get

Annoyed by Josh Allen commercials but if I’m a Defender and I see momes crying over there or crying after a non- call yeah I’m gonna do it again yeah yeah and I think see what we see now that we get to this point of the season is the

Ongoing story lines of the playoffs of the arcs of these franchises and It All Leads back to Baltimore and we saw what Baltimore did with a really emphatic exclamation point at the end of week 16 and there’s only one thing they can do to follow up this season and make

It matter and I think you started out with perie and Lamar Jackson and can give Lamar Jackson some credit and Lamar Jackson has his chance now to really put his stamp on this season with Patrick Mahomes weekend but Buffalo story is still very much alive and I I think we have potential

Redemption stories all over the place and even if Kansas City is the team out of the bracket in the AFC that’s a Redemption story because really this is the worst we’ve seen this team look in the Patrick Mahomes era yeah they’ll they’ll make it right this year it won’t

Go their way and then they’ll make it right got my homes and he’s special special so there you have it uh are we done we wrapping up yeah hey you know we’re going to be here preview couch but if you’re alive in week 17 you know more how to win than

About your team than we do and we’re just happy to continue to take this journey and I I do hope I’ll say this I do hope that like myself I’ll admit it you know over the last couple days there were some things in your life that were

Distracting enough to pull us away from our fantasy teams and from the NFL and I still think we take time out to reflect on the passage of time at the end of this week for New Years and set your line up see what happens later drink some
