What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackle, but it is Tuesday, October 19th, week

seven begins today. Yeah, it's that weird Tuesday to Monday schedule that we run on here for football purposes,

but game on week seven, game on lots of buys, game on lots of opportunity. Things are changing in

fantasy football. There's no doubt about it. You might have observed that as well with some of your

leagues. The buy weeks definitely throw a wrench into the system, and especially this week here.

So we're going to dive into it today. Of course, we will also give you, and by we I mean me,

the recommendations for team defense streamers, the defenses I'm holding. If I have some hold and

cut options as well. But let's get right into it today. At the top of my list, I took a peek,

and Elijah Mitchell is out there in roughly a third of leagues. Now, remember, on this show,

I do cast a wide net, but he is number one in my waiver wire rankings here for week seven.

I'm going upwards to 35% with the way that running back is I know people aren't overly confident in

Elijah Mitchell, but running back has been brutal this season. Absolutely brutal. So I'm going 35%

and no, I do not expect Jeff Wilson back anytime soon. Michael Carter, 35% as well. He is widely

available. I think both of these were prime examples of people sorting by projected points last

week and not picking up guys who were on by pretty much plain and simple. Both of those guys are

ahead of any streamer options, any replacement options at the position. Number three on my list,

I am going to Cleal Herbert at 25%. Now, keep in mind, once David Montgomery comes back,

Cleal Herbert slides back into deep handcuffed territory, but I don't think that happens until

after the Bears by week, which means three more weeks. At this point, if you can get three weeks of

a rental out of a running back, that is worth upwards of a quarter of your initial fat budget.

So 25% here. I like what I saw this past week. That was a, was a tough game for the Bears,

the Bears hung in there and Herbert ran well. He's a better early down runner than Damien Williams is,
