| 0:00.0 | Let's beat the WaiverWire next on Fantasy Football today in 5. |
| 0:09.6 | Welcome to FFTN5. I'm Chris Towers. I'm here with Dan Schneier. We're taking a look ahead at some guys |
| 0:14.7 | who might be the top waiver wire targets for week 12 before week 11's games like get off. But we're also going to |
| 0:23.2 | talk about some big questions. We're going to, you know, we got Devon A Chan coming back. But |
| 0:26.7 | Dan, let's talk about some, some running back beat the waiver wire targets. Yeah, I think you |
| 0:32.6 | want to start with Leonard Fournett, who's 35% roster right now in CBS leagues. |
| 0:38.6 | And just a player that we've seen do a bunch of things over the past. |
| 0:41.9 | We've seen him operate in a two-minute role. |
| 0:43.8 | We've seen him operate in the red zone. |
| 0:45.2 | We've seen him operate the better receiver than people realize. |
| 0:48.2 | And now with a new offensive coordinator in Buffalo, I just think that opens a door for |
| 0:52.7 | different possibility as far as who is going to get touches there. So I'm open to the idea of him potentially develop a role in |
| 0:59.6 | your fantasy playoffs or down the stretch. So he's someone I want to talk about. I would hate for it to be |
| 1:03.8 | at James Cook's expense because he's a really good player. But what we've seen from this Buffalo |
| 1:08.7 | Bill's offense is as good as James Cook is, he fumbled |
| 1:12.9 | once all season and they benched him for what, two drives? |
| 1:17.5 | Correct. |
| 1:17.9 | They haven't trusted him near the goal line. |
| 1:19.7 | Leonard Fournett, I don't think he'll be the lead back here, but there's at least a chance, |
| 1:24.5 | especially if James Cook goes down, it's not going to be Latavius Murray. I think Latavius Murray has his role. So that's one. He's 35% rostered. You got any other ones? Yeah, I like the Bears backs, Khalil Herbert and Roshan Johnson. Herbert is 83% roster. So this is more if he was dropped, if you're in a league where you don't have an i r spots people weren't holding him |
| 1:44.8 | and then rochon 48% we know that obviously dionthe foreman is limited he's battled injuries it just seems |
| 1:51.1 | like a nice time to get in on this offense with justin fields coming back and potential for more points |
