Week 8 Streaming Options

                  Week 8 Streaming Options

    I apologise for never getting a waiver article out this week. Most situations were unclear at the running back position and I ran into some appliance malfunction at my house. Not fun. So hopefully you scored Aiyuk or one of the RBs off waivers that can help you out now or long term. With that over with let's get into the streamers this week. 
(Available in 50% or more of Yahoo leagues)

Quarterbacks 
Jimmy Garoppolo @ Seattle (36% Owned) Jimmy G has been very up and down this year but this is the softest secondary he's faced all year by a wide margin. The Seahawks are not only super beatable through the air they are a bit tough against the run which could basically force Shanahan to dial down his heavy rushing attack and let Jimmy G air it out to keep up with Chef Russ.

Derek Carr @ Cleveland (40% Owned) Carr is having a sneaky good season and Cleveland is a great matchup through the air. Just watch the forecast. There's a possibility for high winds in cleveland on Sunday. 

Baker Mayfield v Las Vegas (40% Owned) Same game on the other end. Baker had his best game of the year last week. Again, monitor the forecast closely. If the winds are as bad as predicted I'd try to stay away from both QBs. Long story short: Stream Jimmy G. 

Tight Ends
Richard Rodgers v Dallas (39% Owned) Wentz showed us that no matter what TE is in the game he has a propensity to target him. Especially in the red zone. Dallas is also just a bad team with a bad defense. Just make sure Goedert isn't activated over the weekend and active on gameday.

Irv Smith Jr @ Green Bay (7% Owned) The majority of the fantasy community hasn't caught up with Irv's increased passing game usage. When he starts scoring TDs his ownership will skyrocket. He's getting the targets at TE. That's the hardest hurdle for the position.

Trey Burton @ Detroit (23% Owned) Burton has oddly enough become a featured part of the Colt's offense. Mo Alie-Cox is getting back which can cut into his passing usage but he had seemingly passed Cox on the depth chart before Cox became injured. Streaming TEs is never fun. 

Defense
Tennessee @ Cincinnati (48% Owned) Tennessee isn't the greatest defense but they will surely have opportunity. Somewhat of a boom or bust with all the projected dropbacks for Burrow. I'm betting on sacks, fumbles, and maybe an INT or 2. 

Green Bay v Minnesota (33% Owned) Cousins is always a risk to have "one of those games". You know, where he can't stop throwing picks and fumbling. At the very least he will probably need to throw a ton to keep up with Rodgers. That opens up opportunity for plays on Defense.

    That's it for this week's streams. Like I said a few times watch out for those high wind games. Swap out kickers in those games for sure and possibly don't take shots on the fringe pass catchers and throwers. Thanks for reading and follow me on Twitter @Chris_Cianci

Taking advantage of your IR slot

Image
   Due to Covid-19 the league made a few changes. They changed IR designation to just 3 weeks to give teams more flexibility with thier rosters. Fantasy Football as a community properly reacted as well. Yahoo defaulted to 2 IR slots per team and fantasy commissioners might have even added more to your league.      IR slots were always common in dynasty leagues but players in dynasty formats are already savvy enough to navigate and use them properly. Now that IR spots have become the norm in redraft I've noticed a some gross misuse of them by casual managers or not using them at all. If you haven't been using your IR slots this blog will give you a marked advantage moving forward.          I've noticed casual managers with guys like Blake Jarwin and Marlon Mack in their IR slot... IN REDRAFT!!!   Honestly the competitive side of me loves to see it. That tells me that they have no idea what it's for. I mean... What are yo...

10 Moves To Make Before Your Trade Deadline

Image
  10 Moves To Make Before Your Trade Deadline   1) Buy Miles Sanders If you can get Sanders for a combination of a WR2 + RB2/Flex I'd go for the upgrade. The Eagles offense is getting healthy all at once and the matchups for Sanders moving forward are favorable. The upgrade in total offense for the Eagles gives Miles a decent shot at a TD or 2 every week. 2) Buy Derrick Henry If you are lined up to make your playoffs do whatever you can to get Derrick Henry. He will be expensive but his playoff schedule is just fantastic. JAX, DET, GB. It doesn't get much better than that. If your trade deadline is a little later you can actually wait a week or two (he has a few rough matchups upcoming) then shoot your shot. He's a league winner for a playoff bound team. 3) Buy Kareem Hunt This is a buy low. He's not going to be valued any lower than he is now. With Chubb coming back and Hunt not exactly capitalizing on the feature back opportunity he was afforded the past f...

Week 10 Start/Sit

Image
                          Week 10 Start/Sit      Apparently the answer to last week's running backs was sit all of them. I don't remember another week with such inconsistent RB production. I hit on most of my WRs but missed big time on Corey Davis. As for TEs I actually wrote Engram as a start then decided he was a sit and never edited out my start suggestion so he was on both sides 😂. Hey if you play both sides you always win right? I'm sorry for that confusing take last week but my QB suggestions were pretty accurate. I'm kinda impressed with myself identifying Lamar Jackson as a sit last week too. So enough about last week let's get into this week's start/sits I'll start with RB as usual. Running Backs Start✅ Duke Johnson David Johnson was ruled out for this one and strong winds might keep this game mostly on the ground. He's also got that whole revenge game narritave going for him. Start him...
