Hello, and welcome to the week eleven edition of Stats with Sam. This is a microcast where I Sam Hop and go over five key stats that stood out to me from a fantasy football perspective to help you make your starter, sit your waiver for your trade decisions, ultimately hoping to get you that championship trophy. We are in the stretch run of the regular season, trying to end things out with a couple wins to get into the playoffs, and before I get into the stats, I want to let you all know that if you want a chance to win assigned Josh Allen Bill's helmet for free courtesy of our friends at Pristine Auction dot com, all you need to do is heat to Fantasypros dot com slash contest, complete the form and either download the Fantasy Pros My Playbook app, leave her a review for the podcast, or follow us on x, Instagram or TikTok at Fantasy Pros.

I'm going to start things off talking about a quarterback streamer, and I think you can look no further than Russell Wilson, Mister Unlimited. He gets to play a Ravens defense that is an extreme pass funnel. They have allowed the highest explosive pass rate this season. The Mike Williams trade that the Steelers made is looking like it'll work out well for Pittsburgh. He had a nice touchdown catch last week against the Commanders. Russell Wilson so far this season has an absurd seven point one percent touchdown rate, which is definitely unsustainable, but he should be able to rack up yards against this raven secondary. So if you are without one of Kyler Murray or Baker Mayfield, who have both played well at quarterback this season, then I think Russell Wilson is the premier guy to target on your waivers as a streamer option. Next, I want to talk about Audric Estimate. It is officially his time in Denver. The rookie running back played on a season high forty five percent of snaps while the previous starter Javonte Williams plummeted to a season low twenty nine percent, his first game below fifty percent. Estima's fourteen total opportunities are almost as many as he's had on the season up until their Week ten game, which was fifteenth total. Meanwhile, Javonte Williams got just one carry and two targets and seems like a bit of an after thought at this point. And this shouldn't be a major shock because Sean Payton mentioned Estimate getting more work prior to the Week ten game and backed it up after the game saying, I thought he ran well. He'll continue to get more reps. So again, this is Audric Estimate's time. If he's for some reason on your waiver wires, certainly someone to add. I think the Broncos will continue to use him at a high rate. Speaking of running backs being used at a high rate, Chase Brown RB one season is here and it's here to stay. He has had eleven and ten high value touches in the past two games, fifty six total opportunities, and he's played on over eighty percent of the team snaps. The Bengals offense as a whole is a top five unit, and when you have a running back getting that much work on inefficient offense, it makes it him a top twelve warning back in fantasy football. You'll remember that the Bengals actually traded for Khalil Herbert last week, but he played on just two snaps in the Thursday night game against the Ravens. He was part of a mishandled handoff exchange on one of them. The Bengals could bring in three more running backs and I wouldn't be worried about them encroaching on Chase Brown's workload. I think if you drafted him stuck with him, he is going to pay off dividends and could be a league winner. As we enter the playoffs, I'm sticking with a running back heavy show. And the last one I want to talk about is Isaiah Pacheco, who was designated to return from injured reserve on Tuesday. If by some stretch he was dropped in your league or your trade deadline hasn't passed, I would be looking to add him if I can, especially if I'm close to locking up a playoff position and I'm looking for some more running back depth. But so far this season, the Chiefs rank seventh in running back high value touches per game. I think the Chiefs will be looking for production from anyone, and while he may split time with Kareem Hunt early in his return, would expect Pacheco to be the one A in that backfield at a minimum. In the two games that he played to start the season, he had snap rates of eighty percent and sixty six percent, which are numbers that no other Chiefs running back has hit all year in his absence. So again, I think this is a great opportunity to buy Sao Pachecko and hope that he can help you out in the stretch down the season. Finally, we started the show with a quarterback streamer. Want to cover a tight end streamer because Trey McBride and Kay Totten are on by this week, and I would like to suggest Taysom Hill. This past week, Hill ran a route on a season high sixty three percent of the team's dropbacks, which was up from his previous season high of forty eight percent, which came the week before in Week nine. So they're clearly getting him a little bit more involved in the passing game, which which makes sense given the other receivers New Orleans is working with right now. Our Marcus Valdez, Scantling, Mason Tipton, and Kevin Austin Junior. Furthermore, in the three games since returning from injury, Hill has gotten at least six touches in every game, which is quite solid for a tight end. Obviously, he's not your standard tight end. He's getting some carries and targets as well. Could be attempting some passes here as well, but they get the Browns this week by far not a tough matchup. So again, if you're looking for a fill in position at tight end, then Taysom Hill, I think is the way to go. So that will do it for this episode of Stats with Sam. Thanks again and we'll be back next week with more good luck and Week eleven.
