| 0:00.0 | If you're in a fantasy football league trying to make your playoffs trying to win your league, |
| 0:03.1 | this is the video for you. Because in this video, we're breaking down seven players who I consider some of the best stashes in fantasy football right now. The under the radar guys, you can stash on your bench specifically for the fantasy postseason. And let's start with one that's not going to cost you basically any fab budget. Really nobody's trying to add this guy. He's probably available on your waiver wire right now and it's Darren Waller the Miami Dolphins he's currently on |
| 0:22.5 | IR for the Dolphins but he's trying to add this guy. He's probably available on your waiver wire right now. And it's Darren Waller, the Miami Dolphins. He's currently on IR for the Dolphins, but he's expected to return around week 13, potentially week 14, sometime in there right before the fantasy playoffs. And now here's why this matters. He's seen Darren Waller basically only play three games this year. He signed with Miami. He didn't play till like week six or so. and then he ends up getting hurt. So he only played three real games. And in those three games, despite being ramped up and not seeing a full complement of snaps and routes runs in most of them, he averaged over 15 fantasy points per game. He was a huge red zone threat, 39 yards per game, four targets per game, huge red zone threat for this Miami offense. In the one game that he got to play, small sample one game, but at least it's worth bringing up without Tyree Kill, he had over 17 fantasy points, multiple red zone and end zone targets. This matters, especially because it's not like there's anybody else coming to save the day. Right now, the Miami dolphins are on by. Maybe he returns in week 13. Jalim Waddle's been awesome. Devon H. H.N. has been awesome. Outside of that, like Malik Washington's there, sure he's not doing much, there's no other competition for targets, Darren Waller would take over the middle of the field intermediate routes. And the best part about this is the schedule. Once he comes out of his by week in week 13, awesome home matchup if he was to return on November 30th against the Saints. Then on December 7th, week 14, he should be back by this, faces a jet secondary that has been absolutely putrid, especially since trading sauce gardener. But it keeps getting better. The Steelers on December 15th, who allow the most passing yards per game. The Bengals at home on December 21st in the fantasy postseason, that is the matchup you want to circle. Darren Waller, assuming you don't have Trey McBride and like Brock Bowers, probably George Kittle, like Darren Moore starts to get in the conversation for like a top five tight end ranking if he's active this week at home against the Bengals because that's how good the matchup is. So Darren Waller, to me, is somebody that's at least worth his stash right now. He's currently available in over 80% of fantasy leagues. People forgot about him. |
| 2:04.5 | He had that great two to three week stretch and then got hurt. Now, don't get me wrong. He could come back and get hurt once again. This is a 33-year-old tight end. And I mean, when you think about it, guys like Travis Kelsey are much older than that. |
| 2:13.8 | Guys like Zach Ertz are much older than that having success weekly in the NFL, but |
| 2:17.2 | Darren Waller was out of the NFL for a while, which means when you get caught up to game speed, |
| 2:21.1 | your body, your ligaments, your muscles, your tendons are all more likely to potentially get an injury like we just saw. It's currently what happened to him. But if he's able to just stay healthy for that beautiful two to three week stretch in your fantasy postseason, he could be a week in week out during the fantasy playoffs top six tight end like that's the upside this guy has and this next |
| 2:37.5 | guy has a lot of upside in Philadelphia if Saquan Barkley was to miss any time. And we've already seen Seyquan Barkley, by the way, for the audio listeners, I'm talking about Tank Bigsby. He's on the screen right now. We've already gotten a glimpse of what Tank Biggsby could look like when he takes on more opportunities with St. |
| 2:51.1 | Juan Barkley dealing with a groin injury earlier this year. That was back in week eight where San Juan had 14 carries, 150 yards, multiple touchdowns, his best game of the year against the New York Giants, and then he ended up sitting out the fourth quarter. And during that time, Tank Bigsby took nine carries for 104 yards. He scored a touchdown in this game. he looked absolutely awesome in this game, having five different carries. Of his nine carries, five then went for 10 plus yards. On his nine carries, he forced four broken tackles. Tank Biggsby, we've seen this guy in the past as recent as 2024 in Jacksonville, where he had two weeks from week seven to eight, look like a star stud running back when Travis E.TN was hurt. I mean, during that time he went out there and he scored 17.2 points per game as an absolute workhorse on 22 carries per game, 98 rushing yards. This is an Eagles offense that despite Sequin Barclay not being all that great this year, the offensive line being banged up and continues to be banged up right now, they're still hammering the rock. I mean, Sequin just a week ago |
| 3:40.9 | had 26 carries. The week before that he had 22 carries. Like this is a guy who's being fed. This offense still wants to run the ball at a neutral to above league average rate. And now you get a guy in Tank Bigsby, who they traded for multiple picks earlier this year, who's averaging 9.3 yards per carry as an eagle. Only 16 carries. It is a small sample, 149 yards. 9.3 yards per carry. This guy has always been since he came out of college at Auburn into his rookie year. He's always been an efficient runner on the ground. Not going to give you much in the receiving department, but despite the Eagles having banged up offensive line pieces, there's still a quality rush offense. We we've already seen that on his 16 carries this year. And just a reminder, Sequin |
| 4:17.3 | Barkley is heading into the final stretch of this season. He has dealt with injuries this year. And |
| 4:21.6 | let's not forget last year, outside of having 345 carries in the regular season, when you |
| 4:26.6 | factor in his postseason carries and his 33 receptions. He had over 400 touches, well over |
| 4:31.7 | 400 touches last season pushing towards 500. We just want to bring that up because he's had a little |
| 4:36.9 | bit of flirt twice this year and knee and a groin with some injuries. If he was to miss any weeks, |
| 4:41.6 | Tanks Biggsby likely slots in ahead of Will Shipley as a must start top 12 RB. Now another guy who's |
| 4:46.3 | currently available in 99 plus percent of leagues, Taj Brooks. So this is the guy when everybody comments on the videos, stash this player, add this player, they're already taken in my league. We'll take Biggsby, Darren Waller, they're available in like 80% of leagues. Tage Brooks of the Cincinnati Bengals, sixth round rookie, he's available right now in over 99% of leagues. And here's the thing with Taj Brooks. You look at it, there's no reason to add the guy. He only had one carry for five yards last week as Chase Brown continued to dominate backfield touches, 18 carries, 99 yards. He added a bunch of receptions, six catches this past week for yards taj brooks is nowhere to be found in |
| 5:21.0 | the receiving department he basically did absolutely nothing with just one carry i get all that right now |
| 5:26.0 | chase brown looks like an elite running back once again with joe flacco and more importantly it seems |
| 5:30.6 | like samaji p ryan has been banged up in this backfield during this stretch specifically with |
| 5:34.5 | joe flacco you're seeing 16 fantasy points per game compared to his four games before that without Flacco, just nine points per game for Chase Brown. I bring this up in regards to Taj Brooks because the role is fantastic. The role is great. If something was to happen to Chase Brown, who has remarkably stayed healthy during his NFL career and really the last two years, you're going to see Taj Brooks likely step in. So Majie P. Ryan remains banged up. Even if he was to return, he's sort of a different back. Like if something happened to Chase Brown, I think Samaji P. Ron just stays in his role that he's had, like two minute offense, a couple of snaps here and there. And Taj Brooks would take on that early down usage, maybe even Red Zone usage, because Taj Brooks just profiles out like Chase Brown. In college, Tage Brooks, final two years, 291 carries, |
| 6:11.1 | 200. even red zone usage because Taj Brooks just profiles out like Chase Brown. In college, |
