Is Christian McCaffrey Worth The Risk? | BOOM Or BUST Running Backs: Draft Or Fade? (Ep. 1595)

Week 12 is upon us, and with that comes our analysis of the best waiver wire options at every position. Is Jonathan Williams (2:17) an RB2-worthy back with Marlon Mack out this week and does Allen Lazard's (24:03) role in Green Bay's offense make him the top pickup at WR? Can Randall Cobb (30:43) excel again versus New England and will Ryan Griffin (47:36) develop into what we thought Chris Herndon was supposed to be? With this being the final week many fantasy owners have before the fantasy trade deadline, we close out the show with our favorite buy-low and sell-high candidates heading into the stretch run (52:52).

Week 11 is almost in the books and we are back to give you our top takeaways from each of Week 11's Sunday afternoon games. Nick Foles' return bodes well for D.J. Chark (2:00) and Courtland Sutton (6:18) seems to rack up the numbers no matter who his QB is. How should we feel about Kenny Golladay (21:18) with Jeff Driskel under center, is Calvin Ridley (40:26) a rock-solid WR2 without Austin Hooper and Mohamed Sanu, and is David Johnson (55:58) actually droppable?

On today's show, the guys are joined by Brit Devine of RotoGrinders to analyze the top DFS options in Week 11. Are Brian Hill (4:25) and Michael Thomas (17:32) both must-plays choices in cash games? Is it smart to spend up for Lamar Jackson (31:45) and how good of a value is Derek Carr (36:35) this week? Lastly, does Mark Andrews (47:53) make sense as a contrarian play in GPP formats?

Our friend and host of the Fantasy Black Book Podcast, Joe Pisapia, is on with us as we analyze our favorite starts and sits for the upcoming week.

We come to you after another great week of football to break down the top waiver pickups heading into Week 11. Should fantasy owners use all their FAAB on Brian Hill (2:47) and can Darius Slayton (16:09) be trusted as a viable wideout for the rest of the season? Who is the better tight end pickup between O.J.
