Trashman’s Garbage Grab: Week 10

Trashman Header                                       Trashman’s Garbage Grab: Week 10

I had to dig deep into the recesses of the waiver-wire to find these fantasy nuggets, but times are hard in fantasy with so many injuries plaguing the league. Here’s the Grab…

 

Running Back

Kalen Ballage, Chargers

Ballage has been a let down in fantasy up until last week when he ran the ball 15 times for 69 yards and a TD in his first game as a Charger. With Justin Jackson now on IR, Ballage, Troymaine Pope and Joshua Kelley will round out the LA backfield. Based on the previous game, Ballage makes for the most likely goal line back.

 

Wayne Gallman, Giants

Devonta Freeman is on IR, making Gallman and Alfred Morris the primary ball-carriers for the Giants. Gallman isn’t flashy, but he gets the job done and he’s scored in 3 straight games. His ceiling isn’t high, but you could do a lot worse in your flex. 

 

Wide Receiver

Jalen Reagor, Eagles

Reagor scored a TD on 6 targets in Week 8, his first game back since week 2, and he’ll look to get even more involved this week after the bye. Reagor will rival Miles Sanders as the most dynamic player in the Eagles’ offense, and he’ll have little trouble getting open against the Giants.

 

Anthony Miller, Bears

Miller is averaging 9.5 targets and 67 yards over his last 2 games, and this week he’ll face a Minnesota team that is the 2nd best matchup for WRs going into Week 10. 

 

Chris Conley, Jaguars

Conley caught 7 of 8 targets for 52 yards from interim QB Jake Luton in Week 9, and he’ll have another shot to rack up PPR points this week, now that Lavishka Shenault is sitting. 

 

Tight End

Jordan Reed, 49ers

Reed was outplayed by Ross Dwelley in Week 9, but it was his first game back from injury. Reed should receive the bulk of targets in the TE position for the 49ers moving forward though, and we know that he can be a fantasy beast as long as he stays healthy. The fact that the 49ers have so many shortages at the WR position only helps his chances. 

 

Quarterback

Drew Lock, Broncos

Lock is coming off of his first 300+ yard game in Week 9, and he’s riding the momentum to a tasty matchup with a generous Raiders secondary. With more weapons returning from injury on a weekly basis, Lock could develop into a weekly starter sooner than later.

    Trade question.. My Mahomes and Fulgham for Herbert and D Adams.
    My team D Henderson, Bernard, Mixon, Fuller, Fulgham, J Cook, M Gordon, Carson, D Johnson, T Higgins, Golladay, D Dallas.

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      BigMike: That is a great trade for you. Herbert looks like a top 5ish every week fantasy starter. You won’t get much drop off from Mahomes. Massive upgrade for you at WR. Do it.

  2. ↓ Post By nicholsm430@comcast.net

    Good Morning , Need some help please! Should I play C. Godwin over W. Fuller due to weather in Cleveland? Do I play T. Fulgham over A. Robinson who is questionable and doesn’t play until Monday night? Thanks as always!

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Byron and Alex talk about 25 MPH winds as the line of fade. If winds are less than 25 MPH, ok to play Fuller.

      Yes to Fulgham over Arob unless you have an emergency option you can plug in if Arob doesnt play.

    I need help with a flex for a 1pt ppr

    D Swift
    R Jones
    C Kirk (I have Kyler)
    D Goedert

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Kirk has been red hot, hard to bench him right now. Good luck.

  4. ↓ Post By Sushi

    RW Nation, would you rather have Anthony Miller or Darnell for this week?

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Classic floor vs ceiling choice. Mooney has been getting loose,, Foles just needs to see if and throw it. I’d go with Mooney but it hs more risk Good luck!

  5. ↓ Post By scottfoil@yahoo.com

    Big Ben or Tua. 1 Pt PPR – Gibson or Hockenson in the flex

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Ben is the safer play and likely the direction I’d recommend, but we already know Tua has monster upside (lower floor.

    2. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Gibson over Hock, bc of the injury designation on Hock. Why chance it.

  6. ↓ Post By HebrewHammer

    I need to drop a guy to pick up a kicker. Who would you rather have rest of season (PPR): Lazard, Reagor, or Gio Bernard. Leaning towards cutting Gio, but seems like Mixon might be out for a couple more weeks? (I don’t have Mixon and the guy who does won’t trade for him).

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Sometimes you need to play “fantasy defense.” Dont let your opponent get his hands on Gio. You need to gamble on which player will be able to come back to you next week. Lazard is a hard cut, but it is the player you might have a better shot of re-claiming. good luck!

        Thanks!!

    Pick One

    TE. Goedert or Tonyan?

    Flex. Fornette, Dobbins, Curtis Samuel,

    WR. John Brown Fulgham, Reagor.

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Goedert looks set up for a great day. I hope that comes through.

      Flex: All 3 have risk of various types, I’d roll LF out there, but understand the floor is low.

      JB is hard to bench, and Fulgam has a tougher matchup on the tool, but I cant bench Fulgham.

    Moss or Jefferson .5 ppr ?

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Floor vs Ceiling: Moss should get you 10-12 points. Jefferson has been feast or famine. I like the safety of moss, but dont be a chicken little like me.

  9. ↓ Post By Max Bet Free Games

    Standard scoring Fournette or Gordon?

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      In non PPR Gordon is the one.

  10. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

    Thanks Alan! You’re crushing in here!

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      You are very welcome. Enjoying interacting with RW Nation!

  11. ↓ Post By Cancop1

    Gibson Edmunds (Drake back) Cooks ( extreme winds in Cleveland) need 2 in a PPR

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Gibson and Edmonds are the one. Both should have a nice floor with upside. You correctly identified the wind as a reasonable deterant.

  12. ↓ Post By Andrew

    Rub My Nick Chubb. 4-5
    1/2 ppr
    Need flex
    Fant
    Shepard
    Bernard

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Prob Gio- 3 great options. I love that you own Fant rest of the way.

      1. ↓ Post By Andrew

        Also have Goedert to go with him…

    2. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Great team name!
      Sheppard has had a quietly nice high floor. Gio with bad matchup on paper. The boys discussed Gio on the show this morning on SXM. Byron like the PPR upside of Gio today, since Cin will likely not have much success going up the middle.

      I’d go Gio, but he has a lower floor than Sheppard. Good luck.

      1. ↓ Post By Andrew

        Thank you guys. Heard the last hour of the show. Missed that segment.

    Alan what do you think. Trade question. Dynasty league that I am going for the win this year. Have been offered swift, John brown and a 2nd round pick for Mike Evan’s and my 1st. I feel decent about receivers but keep having to run out zeke as one of my running backs. Was also offered hunt and John brown for Evan’s no picks.

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      Hi Mark:

      If you think you are a contender, it is likely your 2021 1st will be 10-11 or 12. So if you think of it that you are getting Swift for pick 1.10 I love that.

      It comes down to if you think Mike Evans is worth JB and a 2nd.

      I do like that a good amount. A smart dynasty strategy is to shop big name stars to see what the market will pay. But overall, I do like that trade for you.

      Good luck!

      1. ↓ Post By mark51schichtel@gmail.com

        Thanks Alan. Obviously tough to trade Evan’s but better to trade to early than to late. And I keep reading bad things about his target shares with Brady

  14. ↓ Post By Andrew

    Weeden WayneBowe. 4-5
    Standard league.
    Need flex

    Bernard
    Fuller
    McLaurin
    A. Robinson

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      I know i know Alex Smith has a limited upside. But we know he can throw short slants. I would feel decent about TMC taking one to the house. ARob is the best play but his “Questionable” tag and Monday night game is a risk. If you want to gamble , he is the best player for fantasy of the bunch.

  15. ↓ Post By bdenn2

    PPR. Currently planning on playing Fuller5, MThomas, and DJ Moore. Would you play Aiyuk instead of any of those, or should I stand pat?

    Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Alan Seslowsky

      I think you have it right. Stay with those players. There is some wind concern in the Houston game, but Fuller just has too much upside to bench. If it concerns you, that would be the swap.

      1. ↓ Post By bdenn2

        Thanks, Alan

        I was thinking Moore has been disappointing a bit, but I’ll stick to my guns

  16. ↓ Post By John Hunsberger

    Do I activate Big Ben off my IR spot or role with wentz .. most likely a ROS play as well

  17. ↓ Post By smithsonje@gmail.com

  24. ↓ Post By Longlooper

    Standard:
    Jeudy, Waller or Aiyuk

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      so hard. Waller is safest and arguable same upside as Aiyuk so I go Waller.

  25. ↓ Post By AbnerLofton

    Looks like high winds in Cleveland, currently streaming Baker but he didn’t do to well in wind last time.

    Would you pivot to Lock Foles or Mullens?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I personally replaced baker with Lock FML. we’ll see what happens.

    My Team: QB – Ryan, RB – Cook, Mixon, J Robinson, Swift, Akers, Mattison, Gio. WR – Ridley, ARob, Diontae Johnson, M Williams TE – Andrews. Would you trade Swift for A Rodgers? The other owner also has Mahomes and needs RB help.
