Speaker 6: Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, the definitive Commissioner of Fantasy Football.
Speaker 2: Welcome aboard, mister Farrell Elliott. So good to have you
Speaker 2: here on our final show prior to Thanksgiving twenty twenty five. Man,
Speaker 2: how are you well?
Speaker 3: A happy Thanksgiving to you, Balky. I'm doing I'm doing wonderful.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that I am not on special assignment anywhere
Speaker 3: and that I am here with you.
Speaker 2: You know, I would say I am thrilled for that,
Speaker 2: which I am, but the viewers, the listeners, everybody else
Speaker 2: is much more excited for that. To have you on
Speaker 2: the have you on the air tonight? I think this
Speaker 2: is a good time to ask you. How are your
Speaker 2: fantasy teams looking here as we enter the back half
Speaker 2: of November? Are they in good shape, decent shape, horrible shape?
Speaker 2: What are we looking at here?
Speaker 7: For?
Speaker 3: Farreh's oh in FFPC action, one of my two main
Speaker 3: events is currently play all Eligible, and we're going to
Speaker 3: try to hang on through week twelve. We've got two
Speaker 3: of maybe six teams in the Gorilla that are advancing,
Speaker 3: one of them a number two seed, which is outscored
Speaker 3: everyone in the the competitors in the in my group,
Speaker 3: we don't call them divisions. I guess we call them
Speaker 3: leagues in the FFPC. In my league, I've outscored most
Speaker 3: everyone by about one hundred and fifty points. So I
Speaker 3: would like to see that team continue to do well,
Speaker 3: you know, and it just did so many excellent teams
Speaker 3: and excellent players forthcoming to compete against. You know, you
Speaker 3: feel fortunate if you're if you're doing well. My dynasty
Speaker 3: teams have met a plateau the uh some some are
Speaker 3: eligible to move into the playoffs with a proper seed,
Speaker 3: but they're really shouldn't be, you know, they're they're you're
Speaker 3: kind of sneaking in there. So I'm already planning for
Speaker 3: a twenty twenty six draft, Balky, there's some twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six drafting that you're planning on.
Speaker 2: Well, So so I'm gonna get to that second. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna bust this out right now my camp.
Speaker 2: One of my KMFFF dynasty team's fair. It's the defending champ.
Speaker 2: And I can't remember which lege was, but one of
Speaker 2: the KFFF dynasty leagues that I'm in won the whole
Speaker 2: thing last year, thanks in part by drafting Molik Neighbors
Speaker 2: at the one O two in the rookie draft last
Speaker 2: year and then getting Brian Thomas at the one oway.
Speaker 2: Things did not go according to Plant in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: based on the injuries to both Neighbors and Brian Thomas.
Speaker 2: Did not even make the playoffs in that league this year,
Speaker 2: which honestly, you have six teams make the playoffs out
Speaker 2: of twelve, and I couldn't even I couldn't even get
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. It tells you exactly how fast your
Speaker 2: your fortune in Dynasty, whether it's KFFSC or FFPC. So
Speaker 2: now I'm focused on, you know, just trying to get
Speaker 2: better for twenty twenty six and then maybe winning the
Speaker 2: whole thing in twenty twenty six. We'll see what happens,
Speaker 2: uh in regards to that. But I get it, man,
Speaker 2: like I I you know, in regards to Dynasty stuff,
Speaker 2: it's there and then it's not, and then there again.
Speaker 2: You know, So that that's the way I look at it.
Speaker 3: For sure.
Speaker 2: We have James Hicks wanting to say hello to both
Speaker 2: you and me, and one other, our unofficial co host
Speaker 2: of the show, mister Winker. We got Senior Winker on
Speaker 2: there as well. Is that we're calling him. I can't
Speaker 2: remember what you said.
Speaker 3: I just did you know he perhaps he's senior, but
Speaker 3: he's got a nice pair of shades, he's got a
Speaker 3: little bit gray hair going on. I'm not so sure
Speaker 3: that he is senior your Oinker. But you know, this guy.
Speaker 2: Looks my Oinker looks younger than yours.
Speaker 3: You're you're you know, it's yeah, okay, I'll go with that.
Speaker 2: I'll go all right, Well, I just I don't I
Speaker 2: don't want to speak out of turn here, Tom.
Speaker 3: Smith aviator shades.
Speaker 2: The aviator shades are pretty tight.
Speaker 3: White is what he is.
Speaker 2: Tom Smith on YouTube tonight. One of my two main
Speaker 2: event teams at FFPC needs to win this week and
Speaker 2: he faces one Chad Schroeder from Cocktails and Dreams. How
Speaker 2: lucky of me, lo o l Yeah, it's not lucky
Speaker 2: at all. And we'll see what happens when and Tom,
Speaker 2: we're wishing you the best. You know, in going up
Speaker 2: against Chad Schroeder. It doesn't always happen that way, but
Speaker 2: but hopefully we'll work out for you.
Speaker 3: Tom. If you want to be the best, you have
Speaker 3: to beat the best, So be be happy.
Speaker 2: There's a Rick Flair meme I should probably be playing tonight,
Speaker 2: you know, to be the man, you got to beat
Speaker 2: the man. Yeah, exactly, all right, Pharaoh, we're burying lead here.
Speaker 2: I want to get to Cincinnati. Zach Taylor, the head
Speaker 2: coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. This team is going to
Speaker 2: take some additional time to see if Joe Burrow is
Speaker 2: going to start in Week twelve against the New England
Speaker 2: Patriots that's this weekend, and that's according to Adam Schefter
Speaker 2: from ESPN dot com, every practice this week Joe Burrow
Speaker 2: participated in. In fact, he took first team reps with
Speaker 2: the offense on Thursday as well. He was already I mean,
Speaker 2: we kind of assumed he was going to be back
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving Night against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens,
Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden, it's looking like he
Speaker 2: is going to be active for Week twelve against the
Speaker 2: New England Patriots. We'll find out more at four pm
Speaker 2: Eastern time on Saturday. The fact that he is listed
Speaker 2: as questionable as opposed to doubtful or out is good
Speaker 2: for those people who still have rostered Joe Burrow. Certainly
Speaker 2: with the game coming up on Thursday, maybe the air
Speaker 2: on the side of caution and they're like, well, we're
Speaker 2: not going to play them this week, but we'll for
Speaker 2: sure have him on Thursday night. The way I'm going
Speaker 2: to ask you this question is this, if Joe Burrow
Speaker 2: is activated by four pm on Saturday, and you know
Speaker 2: he is playing against New England sans Jamar Chase but
Speaker 2: still having access to T Higgins, the newly activated and
Speaker 2: we'll see if they activate him for the game. Mike
Speaker 2: Jasicki and then Chase Brown as well. Farrell, are you
Speaker 2: bold enough to say, yes, I have Joe Burrow and
Speaker 2: I'm going to be playing them against the number one
Speaker 2: seed or number two seed. I don't know what they
Speaker 2: are in the FC right now, New England Patriots. Are
Speaker 2: you bold enough to say that if Joe Burrow is active,
Speaker 2: you're playing them, simple as that.
Speaker 3: Sure, I'm going to run him out there, but there's
Speaker 3: a lot of quarterbacks that I like the matchups of
Speaker 3: this weekend, and I played them over him. But I
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't have rostered those quarterbacks with my Borough team,
Speaker 3: but I might have got into waiver wire and picked
Speaker 3: up one of the better quarterbacks. It's having the late
Speaker 3: season searche, so I'm not It all depends. But if
Speaker 3: I have a quarterback I think can get me twenty
Speaker 3: one or twenty two, that's what I'll go with. If
Speaker 3: I don't, then Burrow is my man and I won't
Speaker 3: have a problem, and I definitely won't have a problem
Speaker 3: playing all the other Bengal players along with him.
Speaker 6: I think that the other thing I'll bring up here
Speaker 6: in Pharrell, I don't know how you feel about this,
Speaker 6: but I've been hearing a lot of people talk about
Speaker 6: the Jamar Chase suspension and how the suspension.
Speaker 2: Of him was. Well, let me dial it back. The
Speaker 2: Patriots are really good at stopping the run, and so
Speaker 2: you think that Cincinnati is going to be pass happy.
Speaker 2: Then Chase gets suspended for spitting on Jalen Ramsay, which
Speaker 2: in nine times out of ten is good things for T.
Speaker 3: Higgins.
Speaker 2: Now, what the Patriots can do is they can stick
Speaker 2: Christian Gonzalez on T Higgins. So I don't even know
Speaker 2: the fact that Higgins is going to be the number
Speaker 2: one receiver, I don't even know if that's a good
Speaker 2: thing at this point.
Speaker 3: This coaching staff was hired for his offensive credentials. They'll
Speaker 3: have a real big chance to prove them in this game.
Speaker 3: And we're seeing what we saw last night with Buffalo
Speaker 3: is the poor protection and the lack of debt at
Speaker 3: the offensive line positions throughout the league. It's a problem everywhere.
Speaker 3: Whether you've got a mobile quarterback or not. You've got
Speaker 3: a situation with the way these offensive lines are playing.
Speaker 3: If they've lost one or two guys to injury, it's
Speaker 3: a big problem. Burrow takes a long time to get
Speaker 3: rid of the ball, welse he may be hurting. You know,
Speaker 3: the team needs a lift, it needs some emotional lift.
Speaker 3: There's a commentary about the season, they're done for the year.
Speaker 3: I think they're already done for the year. But you
Speaker 3: know they're professionals. They're playing the games they are in
Speaker 3: front of them and on the schedule. I like what
Speaker 3: you're talking about with Higgins. Higgins finds a way to
Speaker 3: get open. There's other players on that roster that could
Speaker 3: break loose double tight end sets. You wanted to talk
Speaker 3: about some tight end sets. There's there's a desperation ploy
Speaker 3: with the Cincinnati Bengal tight ends if you want so, Yeah,
Speaker 3: there there's there's some there's some elements of utility for
Speaker 3: fantasy football in this game, Balky, But I think if
Speaker 3: you're if you're having to depend on Burrow coming in
Speaker 3: for your lineup this late in the season, you're not
Speaker 3: necessarily in the best of shape anyway.
Speaker 2: No, you're you're probably not. But in the case that
Speaker 2: you are, I feel like you're And I don't know, Parrel,
Speaker 2: maybe it goes back down to what you're saying. You know,
Speaker 2: the fact that you may not have a better option
Speaker 2: at quarterback at this point of the season, and if
Speaker 2: Burrow is active. Even though it's not the greatest idea
Speaker 2: in the world to play a guy who is coming
Speaker 2: off this long of a of a layover and and
Speaker 2: just immediately throwing him back into the lineup without his
Speaker 2: number one wide receiver and against a better, you know,
Speaker 2: one of the better defenses in the NFL. I get it.
Speaker 2: As as Matt Damon said in those failed Crypto ads
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, fortune favors the Bowl with
Speaker 2: Crypto for him.
Speaker 3: I do not think I was in the bold last
Speaker 3: week when I played Justin Herbert, but its five point
Speaker 3: five score suggests that I did. You know, any quarterback
Speaker 3: can have that kind of stinker game, So yeah, you might.
Speaker 3: I don't expect Burrow is going to go out here
Speaker 3: and lay in a Can he complete the game physically?
Speaker 3: That's another thought.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of thoughts coming in on
Speaker 2: the chat y right now. Michael Gonzald the fantasy meatball
Speaker 2: Bengals are in must win mode. Need to start your
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback because if they go three and eight, they're
Speaker 2: done for the year. Tom Smith Bengals are toast, they
Speaker 2: have no chance. I'm also chiming in the Bengals offensive
Speaker 2: line not very good, so putting Burrow in could risk
Speaker 2: him for another injury. And I do think, you know,
Speaker 2: I was listening to the Fantasy Empire guys over in
Speaker 2: the Player Pro Father plus Fantasy Football podcast network. You
Speaker 2: have Chris Pacaro, Dan Williamson, Nelson Sousa, and of course
Speaker 2: Matt Modica on that, and they were talking about this,
Speaker 2: and there was there was like a definite separation of
Speaker 2: thoughts on this. There were some people thinking that, you know,
Speaker 2: they'd be foolish to bring Burrow back when they have
Speaker 2: basically no chance of making the playoffs, and then there
Speaker 2: was other people saying, like, you know, Vicaro was saying
Speaker 2: this too, like he busted his tail trying to get active, right,
Speaker 2: and he's trying to do whatever he can to get
Speaker 2: back on the field in twenty twenty five and show
Speaker 2: what he can do. And honestly, if you have a
Speaker 2: healthy Chase in week thirteen, as well as t Higgins
Speaker 2: and now essentially a healthy Mica SICKI, Chase Brown or
Speaker 2: whatever Bengals could do numbers, it's gonna be hard to
Speaker 2: keep Burrow off the field. Parrell, do you think if
Speaker 2: the Bengals are able to activate Burrow and he is
Speaker 2: ready to go, do you think that they will given
Speaker 2: their current situation in the AFC playoffs?
Speaker 3: Yes, you're you're asking will can they rally and get
Speaker 3: in the playoffs? Yes? Yes, I suppose if it's numerically so,
Speaker 3: they let Burrow play, they put everything at risk. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: well who players? Players are wired to play. One of
Speaker 3: one of our listeners here says, what's the lack of
Speaker 3: professionalism in football? Think of it this way, guys. This
Speaker 3: is a man that Burrow wants to get back on
Speaker 3: the field as a form of professionalism. Baulk's right. He
Speaker 3: has worked his tail off to get healthy. Sometimes he's
Speaker 3: keeping your body functioning when you have such an aggravated injury.
Speaker 3: And it sounds like a small thing, but it's not,
Speaker 3: especially the quarterback position. We probably have gone a little
Speaker 3: further on this point than I would than we would
Speaker 3: intend to. But Burrow has probably wanted to play for
Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks. All players want to get
Speaker 3: out on the field. This is not since Cincinnati is
Speaker 3: doing this in concert with him. It's not so much
Speaker 3: a coach's decision as it is a mutual decision. He
Speaker 3: feels he's ready to go. And I'd rather bet on
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow than a lot of quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: I would too, and I and I think that's smart.
Speaker 2: So whether he's active this this week or not, I
Speaker 2: think we can feel fairly confident that he will be
Speaker 2: out there against the Ravens.
Speaker 3: There's a shame on you if you put him on.
Speaker 2: Waivers, exactly which I did in one of my leagues.
Speaker 2: All Right, moving moving forward here, parall, we we have
Speaker 2: Alan and Tommy Deach coming up here uh to talk
Speaker 2: about their top three top one hundred teams in the
Speaker 2: FFPC Figuilla Tournament. Before we get to them, I do
Speaker 2: want to talk to you about the Cardinals rushing game here. Briefly,
Speaker 2: Bam Knight no longer injury report. However, Trey Benson and
Speaker 2: Amari de Marcado not only are they on the jury report,
Speaker 2: they have both been ruled out. Michael Carter probably will
Speaker 2: rotate behind Bam Knight, knowing that we do not see Benson,
Speaker 2: Knowing that we do not see de Marcado this week,
Speaker 2: I'm curious to what you would do with both Bam
Speaker 2: Knight and Michael Carter knowing that the Falcons rush defense
Speaker 2: is no bueno and they can be had as far
Speaker 2: as opposing running backs go. And now you have Knight
Speaker 2: and Carter looking to take advantage of that. If you
Speaker 2: have Night, if you have Carter, what are you doing
Speaker 2: with him in leagues? This week? In Week twelve, my friend.
Speaker 3: Night will get the red zone go line in most
Speaker 3: of the carries. Carter is a near and dear player
Speaker 3: to me. I'm familiar with his family and I've always
Speaker 3: wished him well. He's battled injuries himself in his career.
Speaker 3: He could be the good passing ball catcher. I don't
Speaker 3: think you know gain Weell's game from last weekend. That's
Speaker 3: what you hope for, is that one off, the magical
Speaker 3: lightning strike. We're a player out of the backfield, could
Speaker 3: catch seven eight passes in a touchdown or two likely
Speaker 3: not to happen in this game. Go with Bam Knight.
Speaker 3: I like the way he's I like the way he's
Speaker 3: running the ball. He's earning that nickname. Go ahead and
Speaker 3: go with it.
Speaker 2: I am with Farrell on this. I think Bam Knight
Speaker 2: is not a guy I want to start as like
Speaker 2: a top twenty five back this week. However, if you
Speaker 2: are dealing with some bye week issues, I think Bam
Speaker 2: Knight makes a nice flex and I'm definitely staying away
Speaker 2: from Michael Carter in all my lineups this week. It
Speaker 2: is Bam Knight or bust, which apparently is the way
Speaker 2: the Cardinals are playing it as well, Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: I want to bring in our guests tonight. They have
Speaker 2: six high stakes Fantasy football titles to their name in
Speaker 2: the FFPC, and currently, as it stands going into Sunday
Speaker 2: of Week twelve, they have not one, not two, but
Speaker 2: three top one hundred teams in the f f PC.
Speaker 2: Big Gorilla again a contest that will pay out a
Speaker 2: one million dollars grand prize. Please welcome Aboard on the
Speaker 2: show tonight, making their debuts in the High Sex Fantasy Footballer.
Speaker 2: It is Tom and Alan d the brothers joining us tonight. Gentlemen.
Speaker 8: What's happening guys? Thanks?
Speaker 3: The contest is which one is more handsome? Now? The
Speaker 3: one position under me has better lighting that gives him
Speaker 3: an edge coming out of the box. But this guy
Speaker 3: on the left here has a massive smile and he's camera.
Speaker 3: Maybe they got a lot of good things going on here. Man.
Speaker 2: Right, So, Tommy, which one of you guys is older?
Speaker 2: Between you and Alan?
Speaker 8: Why don't you guess?
Speaker 2: Sar, I'm going to guess Alan is older? Am I wrong?
Speaker 3: Your phrase?
Speaker 8: The wrong? Allen is wiser? For now? For now? Now?
Speaker 2: So now you guys are do you both live in Illinois?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 8: No, we grew up in Illinois, but I still am
Speaker 8: out here in Illinois. And where are you at? Where
Speaker 8: are you at?
Speaker 7: I'm in La?
Speaker 3: So La?
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I'm a commercial banker in the Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So, so this leads me into my first question here
Speaker 2: and and we'll get to plenty more here tonight. What
Speaker 2: what what was it work that took you out to LA?
Speaker 2: And what form of work are you doing in southern
Speaker 2: California right now?
Speaker 7: Correct?
Speaker 9: So, I'm a commercial banker banking with the point Back
Speaker 9: in two thousand and nine, with all the crisis and
Speaker 9: everything that happened there, there was an opportunity for me
Speaker 9: to advance my career, uh pretty quickly. So I took
Speaker 9: it by moving to California to try to, you know,
Speaker 9: advance my career and Uh, yeah, it's worked out ever since.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's true, Yes exactly. Yes, the I wouldn't
Speaker 2: say the Illinois Hillbillies, but the Illinois.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You call it like the Illinois, you know, opportunity recognizers
Speaker 2: something like that, the Midwest, Yes exactly, But Tom, your
Speaker 2: opportunity stayed in Illinois. What are you doing for a
Speaker 2: living right now?
Speaker 8: I'm in sales. I work for a company called ID Label.
Speaker 8: I still anything label wise to in warehouses, you know,
Speaker 8: when they do inventory, anything on the palettes or the totems,
Speaker 8: and so if anyone's out there you need some labels
Speaker 8: in your warehouses, give me, give me a little ring too,
Speaker 8: you know.
Speaker 3: All right, It's exactly what you would expect to spy
Speaker 3: for the British government to say.
Speaker 2: Now, hold on, I listened there. There's plenty of fantasy
Speaker 2: stuff I want to get to tonight, but there's so
Speaker 2: much I want to get to before that. Now, Tom,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're making a statement tonight with
Speaker 2: the Spider Man T shirt, the Spider Man meme T
Speaker 2: shirt that you're wearing tonight. I have to know is
Speaker 2: this by design? Is this a commentary on you and
Speaker 2: Alan is this a commentary and fantasy football? The Spider
Speaker 2: Man meme, for those of you under the age of forty,
Speaker 2: is something that has been shown up on social media
Speaker 2: over the years where it is the two Spider Man's
Speaker 2: pointing at each other, as in they are looking at
Speaker 2: the exact same thing. What is the commentary or is
Speaker 2: it just a case of like, hey, this was clean,
Speaker 2: I'm going up. I don't know if there's a secondary
Speaker 2: meaning into this nightime.
Speaker 8: You are this is why you're the best in the
Speaker 8: viiz because you got your attention to detail. But there's
Speaker 8: definitely a different meaning to it. Not only is it
Speaker 8: a dope shirt, but my brother got me the shirt
Speaker 8: for my birthday. So my birthday's on September second. So
Speaker 8: after the whole draft season, we get together and we
Speaker 8: watched the first weekend of football together. Oh that's a tradition.
Speaker 8: But so we have a phrase that me and my
Speaker 8: brother use when we're drafting. It's called the Spider Man meme,
Speaker 8: and we just we notice that certain players like to
Speaker 8: draft the same type of players. For example, the most
Speaker 8: common is the boom bust receiver. You know, like he's
Speaker 8: not boom bus this year, but like George Pickens and
Speaker 8: DK Metcalf kind of have the same so we were like, hey,
Speaker 8: there the Spider Man meme. They're all kind of looking
Speaker 8: at each other, like and then you'll see that player
Speaker 8: will add Matthew Gold into the mix, and like we
Speaker 8: kind of laugh because like you'll see you'll see the
Speaker 8: opposite too, where people will Spider Man all the the
Speaker 8: PPR stamming receivers. You'll get Jacoby Myers, you'll get Kilil
Speaker 8: shit Khur and there's never like a mix onn Dale Robinson, Yeah,
Speaker 8: it's like it's all the Spider Man meme going on.
Speaker 8: So we chuckle around because we try. What we want
Speaker 8: to do is like have a mixture of both on
Speaker 8: our teams. We don't want to be too much in
Speaker 8: the PPR stam and not have any pop to our teams.
Speaker 8: So something that we're paying it so as we like
Speaker 8: to use that phrase of the Spider Man meme inside
Speaker 8: Fantasy and it's just kind of funny when you when
Speaker 8: you see that.
Speaker 3: So it is you're speaking in code, you're speaking your
Speaker 3: own language, and Spider Man, like all superheroes you can
Speaker 3: count on to show up. Try to sell me that
Speaker 3: on Khalil Shakir. But who's going to show up? And
Speaker 3: I asked this, I love you guys, go back to
Speaker 3: talk about drafting. You do it together and you love
Speaker 3: it and managing the teams together. My question is management question.
Speaker 3: But when I go back to drafting with my modest
Speaker 3: effort in the FF piece, see I look at the
Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns and I don't really get I stayed away
Speaker 3: completely from the whole operation. My Cleveland Brown source of
Speaker 3: information comes from a dear friend of mine named John Anderson,
Speaker 3: who is is ready to love them and choke them
Speaker 3: all at the same time. It's a great thing. But
Speaker 3: you know, one of the questions that this year there
Speaker 3: was there was a Brown that I was interested in
Speaker 3: as tied En Harold Fannin, but we were able to
Speaker 3: get him late, as I recall, and but the rest
Speaker 3: of the roster, I am an innocent bystander for a
Speaker 3: purview that is way way far away, and with some curiosity,
Speaker 3: I have one question, what in the hell are you
Speaker 3: guys going to do with David and Joko this week?
Speaker 8: Uh Man so talk in his line, Yeah, Hey, we
Speaker 8: we'll rock three tight ends. You know it's it could
Speaker 8: be tough, tough sledding in the FFPC some weeks if
Speaker 8: you have injuries and bye weeks.
Speaker 3: I think if you got in Djokum.
Speaker 8: You're right, I would say. So we have Nadjoku in
Speaker 8: three different leagues and this week, this week we're sitting
Speaker 8: him in two and one, we're playing him, but we're
Speaker 8: considering picking up the likes of Darnell Washington and Yoshavas
Speaker 8: to potentially start over him.
Speaker 3: So what prompted you to draft a player that here
Speaker 3: in week twelve you're going to to go to players
Speaker 3: who've lived on the waiver where all year, Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: good getting off the bus, look like he should be
Speaker 3: the guy.
Speaker 8: That's a great question. You know, fantasy really is a
Speaker 8: one week at a time thing. That's the time when
Speaker 8: we drafted you got to think of we we thought
Speaker 8: Joe Flacco could win some games and still be on
Speaker 8: the team and throw the ball a lot to did
Speaker 8: David Nidjoku. But so much has changed and I actually
Speaker 8: think David Nijoku probably can get you a serviceable week
Speaker 8: this week, but like there's there's major risks and it's
Speaker 8: week twelve right now. I also think yosh of Us
Speaker 8: in that game environment is okay, and then Darnell Washington
Speaker 8: against the Bears is actually pretty good. So, I you know, Alan,
Speaker 8: what do you think about Nidjoku.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm in agreement with my brother. So more
Speaker 7: of our drafting style is.
Speaker 9: We're not out on any player at any cost. So
Speaker 9: when we were taking David Njoku, most of the time
Speaker 9: he was after ADP. So with that being said, we
Speaker 9: weren't like, man, we got to take him around early,
Speaker 9: right and really were like in on him. It was
Speaker 9: more of he's better than this tier of player, we
Speaker 9: might as well take a shot, especially because of the
Speaker 9: value at tight end. So really he's been a player
Speaker 9: that we've played in conjunction.
Speaker 7: I mean, what time one of the teams that.
Speaker 9: We have him on, right is a McBride team, correct, right?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, so so yeah, we we do like to
Speaker 8: double up on tight ends. But yeah, at the price
Speaker 8: it was good. I would just say if you drafted
Speaker 8: Nijoku Ingram or Hockinson, those teams are probably struggling pretty
Speaker 8: much anyway anyway, So it's like, but Nijoku, like you
Speaker 8: could spots start him. But yeah, team one of our
Speaker 8: teams we have McBride, Nijoku and Loveland, and Nijoku and
Speaker 8: Loveland have been pretty much on our team on ours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been pretty may But you know, you guys
Speaker 3: are doing all right. Walkey doesn't make up numbers. You know,
Speaker 3: Walkey gave you introduction. He didn't make up numbers.
Speaker 6: Well, guys like I should ask you this too, in
Speaker 6: regards Tom to this tight end question with if David
Speaker 6: and Joku and I, and I'll be honest with.
Speaker 2: You, I should have looked this up until before the
Speaker 2: show started. I didn't. If Djoku did not practice today,
Speaker 2: if he does not play this week, how do you
Speaker 2: feel about Harold Fannin in your starting lineup? Knowing that
Speaker 2: it's a good matchic of it against Las Vegas, but
Speaker 2: also knowing that it's not Dylan Gabriel, it's not Joe Flacco,
Speaker 2: it's not Deshaun Watson, it's not Bernie Kosar, it is
Speaker 2: Shader Sanders throwing to him. Tom, how do you feel
Speaker 2: about Harold Fannin in that situation?
Speaker 8: Well, I think if you have Harold fann and you
Speaker 8: play him, I would say I only at this moment
Speaker 8: in time have I even gotten into the Shadoor Sanders conversation.
Speaker 8: So I actually feel very blessed that I haven't Alan
Speaker 8: I have. When you have a team, you split up responsibilities.
Speaker 8: I gave Alan first take responsibility, so he's been watching
Speaker 8: that all week for us. So I haven't engaged with
Speaker 8: any of the Shadu conversation. But against you drafted Harold
Speaker 8: Fannin and he's probably either your starter or in the
Speaker 8: flex for you. So for twelve ten to twelve points, yeah,
Speaker 8: I think that that's I guess you have to have
Speaker 8: measured expectations of Harold Fannin if you're playing him, But
Speaker 8: you also have to understand that there is major risk
Speaker 8: when you're playing at Cleveland Brown in this match, because
Speaker 8: the Raiders d especially at home, is pretty good. Like
Speaker 8: I know, we just saw them against Dallas and that
Speaker 8: wasn't great. But I think Dallas's offense is excellent and
Speaker 8: that was a terrible game plan by the Raiders. So
Speaker 8: I just think if you're playing a Brown, you have
Speaker 8: to just understand that there's institutional risk by playing any
Speaker 8: sort of Brown with shad or Sanders. I mean, but
Speaker 8: the upside it is too.
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you right now, Tom. One of my
Speaker 2: fantasy football team names next year will be institutional risk.
Speaker 3: Risks very I don't think, BALKI. I don't know how
Speaker 3: many shows we've done. I know you have the count,
Speaker 3: I know you have the real numbers, but I don't
Speaker 3: think we've ever heard that Raiders defense is really good
Speaker 3: at Oh, you know, I have a.
Speaker 2: Listen. Okay, hold on, I'm gonna do this right now.
Speaker 2: Farrell knows what I'm doing. Guys, you on very moment. Okay,
Speaker 2: So I got the Raiders chain on right now. I
Speaker 2: have Brock Bowers going in a couple of leagues. I
Speaker 2: am not a shame to admit that I have Trey
Speaker 2: Tucker going in a few leagues. Ashton Genty yes as well,
Speaker 2: and Farrell my defense dujure this week and I picked
Speaker 2: him up, and probably three or four leagues the Las
Speaker 2: Vegas Raiders, Baby, I'm rolling with them in the KFFSC
Speaker 2: playoffs and some of my other private dynasty leagues against
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns this week. Could I be wrong? Probably not,
Speaker 2: because I'm rarely wrong. Is it one hundred percent? It's
Speaker 2: possible I'm wrong and the Raiders give up you know,
Speaker 2: thirty some points this week.
Speaker 3: I tell you last time Cleveland was in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: Las Vegas was successful against the Browns. The game script
Speaker 3: went in much of the way that the Brothers expect here,
Speaker 3: and I enjoyed being in the crowd sitting next to
Speaker 3: one Dizzle while watching the game, So you know, it
Speaker 3: didn't get any better than that.
Speaker 2: It's my recollection that the last time Cleveland was in
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, it was the Indians celebrating a nineteen forty
Speaker 2: World Series championship with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Junior, and
Speaker 2: the Lake out at the Desert End. That's the last
Speaker 2: time I remember the Browns and last or the Clevelanders
Speaker 2: back in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: There is so many factful things wrong with that statement
Speaker 3: that you're why don't you move on back to fantasy memories?
Speaker 2: A little fuzzy memories, A little fuzzy Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the Giants Lions game here
Speaker 2: Alan with you. You look at the Giants rush defense
Speaker 2: this year, it's been abysmal. They played the Green Bay
Speaker 2: Packers last week. Josh Jacobs looked like he was off
Speaker 2: and running pun intended in this game, and then he
Speaker 2: got hurt. Emmanuel Wilson filled in I don't want to
Speaker 2: say admirably, but decently. Chris Brooke really did not get
Speaker 2: in the game, and the Packers never really got the
Speaker 2: ground game going. Now the Giants, instead of playing at
Speaker 2: home against the Packers, have to go to Detroit to
Speaker 2: face the Lions, who are ultra awesome, especially Jared goff
Speaker 2: in Domes, which is where they're playing this weekend. You're
Speaker 2: not watching this show to find out whether you should
Speaker 2: be playing Jamiir Gibbs. Yes, you should be playing Jamier Gibbs.
Speaker 2: The question here, Alan is David Montgomery. How much of
Speaker 2: a must start is he against this horror Giants rush
Speaker 2: defense this week? Is it going to be a Montgomery week?
Speaker 2: Or is this gonna be one of those weeks where
Speaker 2: we're scratching our heads on Sunday night saying, how the
Speaker 2: hell did he get fifteen carries? You only got forty
Speaker 2: yards and no touchdowns. I'm curious to what you think
Speaker 2: is going to happen to Montgomery against the Giants this weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: No, I mean my brother and I were discussing this
Speaker 9: before we got on air. I mean, Montgomery has to
Speaker 9: be in your RB two flex conversation just because of
Speaker 9: not only by weeks, but the just the strength of
Speaker 9: the matchup. Right, He's been one of our best or
Speaker 9: most drafted running backs the whole offseason. He's one of
Speaker 9: our favorite players. I mean in real football, he's just awesome.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 9: He's good in goal line, he's good in pass pro,
Speaker 9: he gets he's good in short yardage. He really can
Speaker 9: you move the chains when the Lion would really need
Speaker 9: like an impactful play. Right, But since Dan Campbell has
Speaker 9: taken over the play callingocus more on Gibbs and Jamison
Speaker 9: Williams and really is kind of like phased out a
Speaker 9: little bit of Montgomery and Aman Rossaint Brown. So hopefully,
Speaker 9: you know, after what he was doing against Philadelphia, which
Speaker 9: made no sense, continuously going for it on fourth down
Speaker 9: and becoming predictable that he wasn't going to just take
Speaker 9: the points and kick the field goal and keep putting
Speaker 9: the pressure on Philadelphia, maybe he learned learned a little
Speaker 9: bit from that experience compared to playing basically a lifeless
Speaker 9: Commanders two weeks ago, you know, in Washington. So hopefully
Speaker 9: he gets back to really what Detroit is good at,
Speaker 9: which is running the ball, really putting all the pressure
Speaker 9: on the Giants. With not only Montgomery but also Jamiir Gibbs,
Speaker 9: so that they really get back into form, because really
Speaker 9: what's happened to Detroit, which is kind of surprising, is
Speaker 9: they've kind of fallen into the middle of the pack
Speaker 9: in the NFC because they've given away a couple of
Speaker 9: games that they probably should have won based on just
Speaker 9: a little bit of coaching, you know, changes that they
Speaker 9: probably should have made that would have been more effective.
Speaker 9: I don't know, that's that's really my take on it.
Speaker 9: David Montgomery, if he can't get you twelve to fifteen
Speaker 9: points this week, it's probably not going to happen the
Speaker 9: rest of the year.
Speaker 7: So if you have him, play.
Speaker 9: Him, but I would I would hope that he gets
Speaker 9: back to form, which is that twelve to fifteen point
Speaker 9: RB two solid floor play that you're really looking for.
Speaker 3: The banker has identified the institutional risk in the Dan
Speaker 3: Campbell bonds. Of course, the bonds, you know, they they're
Speaker 3: they're the grading of that is going down. Okay, you
Speaker 3: guys are having a very successful year, and I know
Speaker 3: within the makeup of these teams are perhaps numerous Stampa
Speaker 3: Bay bucconeers. Am I correct? Okay? Yeah, let's start with
Speaker 3: you first out the situations in the running back room,
Speaker 3: because you're obviously happy with third string Tucker, but you
Speaker 3: want Irving to come back. But if you got Tucker
Speaker 3: and you don't have Irving, that's a really big situation
Speaker 3: that you're sitting on this weekend. Now you've got Godwin
Speaker 3: coming back too, Tess Johnson may be a late pickup.
Speaker 3: You've thought you had things worked out then Evans got hurt.
Speaker 3: What are you doing with all of this Tampa Bay
Speaker 3: personnel and trying to figure out who you're going to
Speaker 3: put on the field with this team? And of course
Speaker 3: the big question is you know you've got at this
Speaker 3: point in time, you've got to have twenty or so
Speaker 3: plus points from Baker Mayfield. It's the Rams this weekend, Allen,
Speaker 3: it's the Rams this weekend. Do you get them? Do
Speaker 3: you get those points?
Speaker 9: I would hope you do with Baker because again I
Speaker 9: think the game environment would hopefully push him. The Rams defense, though,
Speaker 9: is quite good. If they can really get after him
Speaker 9: and and sack him, he's going to have a tough day, right,
Speaker 9: But again, if Ibuca and Godwin can come or get
Speaker 9: back into form, really the Buccaneers can keep up with
Speaker 9: the Rams. I mean it's really a must win for
Speaker 9: the Bucks to really keep pace because I really think
Speaker 9: the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 7: Are coming for them in the South.
Speaker 9: With that being said, the Shaun Tucker situation, I mean,
Speaker 9: you've got to play it till till it dies, right,
Speaker 9: I mean last week against Buffalo, it really was a
Speaker 9: dream matchup. I mean, my brother and I were coming
Speaker 9: up with many combinations around that game.
Speaker 7: Just didn't just standard.
Speaker 9: Dfs as well, not to that that is relevant to
Speaker 9: this commentary, but with that being said, we were really
Speaker 9: high on that game, right, just in general, and that
Speaker 9: game delivered. Right, You've got six touchdowns out of Josh
Speaker 9: Allen and you got what four or five touchdowns out
Speaker 9: of the Bucks combined with basically what had happened, So
Speaker 9: Seawan Tucker really good player. My brother and I we
Speaker 9: have about ten teams with Bucky Irving, so we're hopeful
Speaker 9: that he can come back. But really, yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 9: know that's pretty much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I get it, and and a good
Speaker 2: answer on that. Obviously, I'm looking for some more good
Speaker 2: answers for you here as we uh As I take
Speaker 2: a sip of my coffee here tonight in my institutional
Speaker 2: risk coffee mugs just for listening on audio tonight as
Speaker 2: opposed to video fantasy Meatball. This is our buddy Michael
Speaker 2: Conzel on YouTube hanging out with us. Let's go to
Speaker 2: a non tight end premium format here, guys tonight, h Tommy,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw this to you first, Darnell Washington or
Speaker 2: TJ Hockinson. Who is the better start again non tight
Speaker 2: end premium which, Michael, I'll be honest with you. I
Speaker 2: feel a little bit guilty, you know, even asking a
Speaker 2: non tight end premium question on the show tonight, But
Speaker 2: I'll do it because we love you. Tjws in lambeau
Speaker 2: Field to take on the Green Bay Packers, Darnell Washington,
Speaker 2: all three hundred and eleven pounds of him in Chicago
Speaker 2: to take on the Bears, Tommy, who do you like better?
Speaker 2: In a non tight end premium but full PPR format
Speaker 2: this week?
Speaker 8: I'll just say, might the mighty have fallen? What kind
Speaker 8: of question are we in?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 8: The saddest thing is it's Darnell Washington, right? How could
Speaker 8: you ever start TJ. Hockinson with any Now? Hockinson might
Speaker 8: do it. How could you start him with any confidence
Speaker 8: right now against Green Bay? And the thing is the
Speaker 8: Darnell Washington is a ridiculous player, but Arthur Smith is
Speaker 8: going to get the most out of him. And the
Speaker 8: Bears are susceptible because their linebackers are injured right now,
Speaker 8: so you can get them over in the middle. They're
Speaker 8: bad against a run and with against tight ends. So
Speaker 8: Darnald Washington's as ridiculous it sounds is sneaky this week,
Speaker 8: you know, like and this Eric and Parrell, we're not
Speaker 8: gonna say anything that we're not actually doing ourselves, Like
Speaker 8: we have Darnel Washington potentially going in a league or two.
Speaker 8: So like I'm not just saying that to just.
Speaker 3: Say you're disgust with it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like it's like the waivers at this time of years.
Speaker 8: But like Hankinson, Hockinson is a tough click right now,
Speaker 8: Like and and I love t J. Hockinson, Like he's
Speaker 8: a good player, but that offense has been has been brutal.
Speaker 8: So good luck, my man, you're gonna be playing our
Speaker 8: Chicago Bears. I hope Darnell Washington does it for you,
Speaker 8: but not too much, not too much.
Speaker 2: To Alan let me throw this one you.
Speaker 6: Uh, this is our good buddy from Kentucky, Jimmy Williams
Speaker 6: Chiming Bay.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Williams, by the way, just like you guys noted
Speaker 2: Bears fan extraordinary, but as in Cubbs, Bears and Cubs
Speaker 2: absolutely he has an Arizona Cardinals question here comments on
Speaker 2: what Michael Wilson looks like this week. Alan, I'll throw
Speaker 2: this to you.
Speaker 7: I mean I missed it.
Speaker 9: I missed it last week, like we Okay, so my
Speaker 9: brother and I, I mean we were in on this
Speaker 9: all week last week and we were like we couldn't
Speaker 9: believe how much hype there was around Michael Wilson. I
Speaker 9: mean again, the guy had what two hundred and eighty
Speaker 9: nine yards career up until a one hundred and eighty
Speaker 9: yard perform I mean again, this year has had two
Speaker 9: miraculous like wide receiver threes that basically like broke out
Speaker 9: in one week, Right, you had Kendrick Bourne that looked
Speaker 9: like Justin Jefferson against the Rams, and then you had
Speaker 9: Michael Wilson.
Speaker 7: Last week. You know what was it? Jamar Chase esque?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 9: Almost twenty targets I mean slant after slant I mean
Speaker 9: I was watching the game. My brother knows I was
Speaker 9: sitting there watching this. I said, how many slants is
Speaker 9: this guy going to catch?
Speaker 3: It was absurd?
Speaker 7: Absurd?
Speaker 9: But I mean I think it continues against the Jaguars
Speaker 9: because again, the Jags can get a little bit of
Speaker 9: a pass rush. But I think the Cardinals just want
Speaker 9: to play this way. They want to be down fourteen
Speaker 9: to zero, you know, within three minutes from the start
Speaker 9: of the game, and then we're just looking like we're
Speaker 9: going through the motions and just racking up yards after yards,
Speaker 9: but they're not.
Speaker 7: It's not serious stuff.
Speaker 9: So I mean it's funny because I think Michael Wilson,
Speaker 9: if you have it, you have to play it until
Speaker 9: it until it dies. But I do think it's going
Speaker 9: to be good this week.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 9: Do I think he's going to have what thirty Fantasy
Speaker 9: points like he did last week? No, but I mean
Speaker 9: twelve to fifteen points, flexible wide receiver two to three,
Speaker 9: you know, to a spot start in a you know,
Speaker 9: a team with a lot of bye weeks that need
Speaker 9: to get to survive.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think you have to play it now.
Speaker 6: My teams we have this week, balk we have four
Speaker 6: teams on buy This week, guys, I'm going to come
Speaker 6: with the question, very important question, especially back here in
Speaker 6: Kentucky where the teams often seem to roster Indianapolis colts
Speaker 6: quite often.
Speaker 3: And you know last week we had an email towards
Speaker 3: the end. The guy was saying, do I bite the
Speaker 3: bullet and play Franklin from Denver? And I suppose you
Speaker 3: you're not biting any bullets. Excellent player. And then I
Speaker 3: sat on the edge of my seat now because Franklin's
Speaker 3: on my own team, because I hope we didn't give
Speaker 3: that guy bad advice. Franklin ended up to twelve point eight,
Speaker 3: so you know, I guess we can live with that.
Speaker 3: So here's something that I want to ask you, Josh Downs.
Speaker 3: This is lately he's had a couple sixteen point games.
Speaker 3: He's also turned in close to goose egg and you
Speaker 3: know that was relevant last week for most of the
Speaker 3: Indiana receiver in Indianapolis Receiver Corps five games in Seeingle
Speaker 3: digits for Downs. Now, he does have the Kansas City Chiefs,
Speaker 3: which a lot of people will tell you has a
Speaker 3: good pass defense, and I would like to say they
Speaker 3: had a good pass defense last three games. They've had
Speaker 3: given up two hundred and fifty air yards. And you
Speaker 3: know Downs has the career blessed privilege of playing opposite
Speaker 3: Michael Pittman, which is always a boost to anyone's career.
Speaker 3: So what would you do with Downs? And Walkey is
Speaker 3: real good at this at asking you some players that
Speaker 3: you might play Downs over if you're going to play
Speaker 3: him at all? Is Down's a player that you have rostered?
Speaker 3: And is he strong enough to be your man against
Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs weakening past defense?
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, let's get some Downs going this week. I
Speaker 8: almost say that with too much confidence, but Casey struggles
Speaker 8: against slot corners, and I mean this is not a
Speaker 8: great play. He's only playing fifty five percent of snaps
Speaker 8: and he hasn't had over sixty yards in any game
Speaker 8: this year. But like that's like the fantasy analysts side
Speaker 8: of things, Like we're when we're in week twelve of FFPC,
Speaker 8: and like I said, like we got Josh Downs going
Speaker 8: in a couple of these we have guys that are injured,
Speaker 8: and like there's like he's a good spot start. The
Speaker 8: game has a fifty and a half total. The team
Speaker 8: is twenty three and a half I just think the
Speaker 8: NFL games can go any which way, but the game
Speaker 8: projects the Colts to be down right, like they're they're
Speaker 8: three and a half point underdogs, so like there's a
Speaker 8: snare where they're passing their way back and you're getting
Speaker 8: some dump off from Josh Downs. I think he is
Speaker 8: a He's a fine spot star.
Speaker 2: No I like that.
Speaker 3: You know, now, BALKI, do you recall this correctly like
Speaker 3: I do? Or maybe it just hit me differently than
Speaker 3: it would you. Back when we had the pros Versus Joe's,
Speaker 3: and you guys are familiar with that tournament pros Versus Joe's,
Speaker 3: we had some people, not these people because you know
Speaker 3: these this is our our core group. We had some
Speaker 3: comments that were saying things like Josh Downs will be
Speaker 3: wonderful season, supplanting Pittman. I've always thought he was Indianapolis
Speaker 3: version of Wandell Robinson, but they're not playing as behind
Speaker 3: as much, so he does. You know you remember it
Speaker 3: that way?
Speaker 2: I don't not remember it that way. I think I
Speaker 2: think you probably remember it better than me. But I
Speaker 2: will say that as far as what you just said
Speaker 2: about Downs, I have heard these things before from any
Speaker 2: of high stakes players, many fantasy football pundits out there
Speaker 2: for sure, and I will say this and Perrel, you
Speaker 2: may not want to hear this, but your cousin intelligent
Speaker 2: and attractive and love Miss fantasy football genius. Stacey Perez
Speaker 2: was on the FFPC Insider Access show last night and
Speaker 2: she was praising Josh Downs for a good ninety seconds
Speaker 2: on there, and I made mention, I'm like, you know, Farrell,
Speaker 2: if he was hearing this would be all in an
Speaker 2: uproar that you were not praising Michael Pittman. And she said, listen,
Speaker 2: when we go to the family reunion this year, I'm
Speaker 2: going to set the record straight on Josh Downs versus
Speaker 2: Michael pit There could be something grewing there. I'm not sure,
Speaker 2: but as far as Downs this week against the Chiefs,
Speaker 2: I think you guys make some good points. As far
Speaker 2: as the defense that they're going up against, the fact
Speaker 2: that Michael Pittman has been healthy this year, I think
Speaker 2: this is all worthwhile to bring up when you are
Speaker 2: considering what to do with your wide receiver three or
Speaker 2: one of your flex spots in the FFPC, guys, I
Speaker 2: have to go back here in the in the YouTube
Speaker 2: chet because We've got a lot of good questions here tonight.
Speaker 2: Let's go to and Alan. I'm gonna throw this to
Speaker 2: you right away. Yeah, Tom Smith, right here, our good
Speaker 2: buddy fince fan quarterback question here this week. He wants
Speaker 2: to know should he be starting Dak Prescott this week?
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, who is at home against the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 2: or Baker Mayfield, who is on the road at the
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams. Alan, d how do you fall in?
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go a little spicy on this one. I
Speaker 7: think Dak is the pick.
Speaker 8: I do.
Speaker 7: I think.
Speaker 9: I think Dallas is coming. I told told my brother
Speaker 9: that once once they made that trade for Quentin Williams,
Speaker 9: and they looked so bad against the Cardinals, but they
Speaker 9: were still putting up points on offense, and then they
Speaker 9: just there's a path for them if they really win
Speaker 9: this game. And Dak looked great in the first week
Speaker 9: against Philadelphia, like Dallas should have won that game, but
Speaker 9: they didn't. So I think Dallas, if they really put
Speaker 9: it all together, can really push Philadelphia. And you know,
Speaker 9: it should be Dak Prescott that could potentially win the
Speaker 9: game now again Baker versus the Rams. It's a great
Speaker 9: matchup too. But that's because if you think that the
Speaker 9: Bucks offensive line is going to basically stop that Rams
Speaker 9: pass rush. So, like I said, I think the more
Speaker 9: of an upside, spicier play would be Dak, more of
Speaker 9: the floor play would be Baker. But I really do
Speaker 9: think Dak Prescott's gonna be good this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm one hundred percent in agreement with you on Allen.
Speaker 2: With you on that, Allen, I think Prescott's the play,
Speaker 2: And as far as you're ceiling floor analysis goes, I
Speaker 2: am less likely to agree with you on that, but
Speaker 2: I still think you're I still think I would in
Speaker 2: that scenario when it comes to those two. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: throw this to your brother Tom here on this one.
Speaker 2: Michael Conzel the fantasy meatball, another Baker Mayfield quarterback question.
Speaker 2: Who would you be starting this week?
Speaker 3: Tom?
Speaker 2: Would it be Baker Mayfield at Los Angeles or would
Speaker 2: it be the record setting Jacoby Brissett who is taking
Speaker 2: out Jacksonville Jaguars this week? Just found out before I
Speaker 2: went on the air. Shortly before we went on the
Speaker 2: air tonight, guys, Canton, Ohio now features the jersey that
Speaker 2: war in that game where he threw forty seven completions
Speaker 2: forty seven out of fifty seven against San Francisco. So, Tom,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put it to you this way, and I
Speaker 2: don't think I'm phrasing this improperly. Would you would you
Speaker 2: start the number one, the former number one overall pick,
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield against the Rams, Or would you start NFL
Speaker 2: Pro Football Hall of Famer Jacob Jacoby Brissett excuse me
Speaker 2: against the Jacksonville Jackguard this week? Who's the better start?
Speaker 2: My friend?
Speaker 8: You got to you gotta make a trip down to
Speaker 8: Canton and join set. You got to it. It's so ridiculous.
Speaker 8: You know, this year we've had these teams that are
Speaker 8: just so bad, but they're good at fantasy, and the
Speaker 8: Cardinals are one of them. Like it was Bengals, it
Speaker 8: probably still is the band. Well, it was the Cowboys
Speaker 8: at first, and then it was the Bengals, and now
Speaker 8: we're now we're on the Cardinals side, and you just
Speaker 8: got to ride it right now, Baker could outscore them
Speaker 8: because that game could get really wacky. And I've seen
Speaker 8: car I always watched the three o'clock slates. For some reason,
Speaker 8: I'm always watching bad Cardinals games at three o'clock, so
Speaker 8: that that game could be nine to three and everyone's
Speaker 8: upset and like all the chalk and dfs, the people
Speaker 8: are losing their mind. But you got to just ride Brissette.
Speaker 8: It's one of those things. He's hot. He's rolling the
Speaker 8: dice at the roulette table. You got to just go
Speaker 8: with the guy.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: It's like, I'm riding this guy till he shows me
Speaker 8: he can't, you know.
Speaker 3: So rolling the dice at the roulette table. You're gonna
Speaker 3: have to spend a little time with me in Las
Speaker 3: Vegas because we are going to have to get you.
Speaker 3: You may have amount of some casinos. Okay, we.
Speaker 2: Better at car You.
Speaker 8: Understand what I meant though, You got to just ride it.
Speaker 3: Right, I think you better ride it with Dak Prescott.
Speaker 2: That's far Before you ask your next question here, I
Speaker 2: want to I want to throw this back to Tom.
Speaker 2: Here another question that we have from our our good
Speaker 2: buddy Racy on you running back question.
Speaker 3: Good question too.
Speaker 2: We have we have Sehn Judkins going up against the
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders. So would you be playing Queen Chown
Speaker 2: Judkins over one Alvin Kamara who was in the big
Speaker 2: easy at home against the dirty Birds of Atlanta taking
Speaker 2: on the Falcons. Who is it Camara or is it Judkins?
Speaker 2: This week?
Speaker 8: For you Tom Well, this is like a spoiler. The
Speaker 8: guy already knew because I was my sleeper the week
Speaker 8: was Alvin.
Speaker 2: Camara.
Speaker 8: I'm not swearing on the screen, but an Alvin, Yes,
Speaker 8: Alvin Kamara. So little stat for you. Atlanta gives up
Speaker 8: the fifth most points to running backs and before the bye,
Speaker 8: Alvin Kamara had twenty two carries and three receptions for
Speaker 8: one hundred and sixteen yards. And I just I love
Speaker 8: Kamara with the Saints D. That's my that's my sleeper
Speaker 8: picks for the week. If people are looking for a defense,
Speaker 8: I love the Saints and I love Kamara. It's been
Speaker 8: brutal drafted them in the fourth round. We drafted him.
Speaker 8: But if you're looking for fourteen point fourteen boring points,
Speaker 8: Alvian Kamar is going to give it to you. Judkins
Speaker 8: is upside right. If we tried to pair Judgins with
Speaker 8: the Cleveland D this week, we tried to someone picked
Speaker 8: up D the D over it but but yes, but
Speaker 8: the Raiders D could come fromm I'm going old than boring.
Speaker 8: You guys could have young and exciting. I'm going old
Speaker 8: Boor and Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 3: This week, Hawke did and that that is the best
Speaker 3: answer that we've ever got to my final question. And
Speaker 3: I didn't even get to ask the question. The guy
Speaker 3: that was on here last week refused to answer it.
Speaker 3: That was y He just refused it. He just refused it.
Speaker 3: That is so good. You have you have uh you know,
Speaker 3: we give out trophies in the k f F s C.
Speaker 3: We're going to have one and we're going to invite
Speaker 3: you to come down here and play. And before you
Speaker 3: ever play your first team, you're gonna win a trophy
Speaker 3: for the best question. But the best answer on the
Speaker 3: sleeper question that we ever have, you know, you both
Speaker 3: get a trophy.
Speaker 7: I just I'm just looking pretty.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, So so I have to ask
Speaker 2: m l U seven x I YouTube. I have to
Speaker 2: ask his question because he's that's a good one too.
Speaker 2: So we have to answer this, and I think in
Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong mL I think he asked
Speaker 2: this same question with me and Stacey Perez last night
Speaker 2: on the FFPC and it started an access show. So
Speaker 2: we'll try to answer it here. Alan, I'll let you
Speaker 2: go first. But Tommy, I want you to weigh in
Speaker 2: on this as well. Travis Etn or Bachell Tuton this week.
Speaker 2: Now he's in an f FPC main event league. He's
Speaker 2: projected it's like a fifty to fifty shot as far
Speaker 2: as the projected scores go, so it's not like he's
Speaker 2: a big underdog or a big favorite as well. But
Speaker 2: if if he wins, he gets the number one seed,
Speaker 2: which is obviously very lucrative in the FFPC made event.
Speaker 2: He says, Alan, he's leaning Travis Etn at this point,
Speaker 2: but if he would start Baseell Tutant over Etn, is
Speaker 2: that getting too cute? And just so everybody's aware, these
Speaker 2: players are both in Arizona against the Cardinals this week.
Speaker 9: I think this question is a little bit more nuanced.
Speaker 9: Who does he have as his flex plays? Because if
Speaker 9: it were me, I want to play both, right, I
Speaker 9: want to get as much Jags running game as I can.
Speaker 9: And really, I think again, because you saw with Etn
Speaker 9: last week, Tooton did get Yeah, he got injured right
Speaker 9: against the Chargers, so it kind of neutralized him a
Speaker 9: little bit, but it was just that whole Jags running
Speaker 9: game that was just just you know, gashing them on
Speaker 9: the ground. So I want to get as much opportunity
Speaker 9: from that running game against a bad Cardinals run defense
Speaker 9: that Christian McCaffrey. I mean, he barely even played in
Speaker 9: a game and went absolutely bonkers. So pretty much pretty
Speaker 9: much that's my answer. But I'm gonna let my brother,
Speaker 9: you know, kind of time in as well.
Speaker 2: Tommy posted this in here. He's got woody marks at
Speaker 2: running back as well. His flex is tedor Aroa McMillan
Speaker 2: and Michael Wilson, and then his two wide receivers are
Speaker 2: Chris o'labby and Rashie Right, so he's starting four wider.
Speaker 3: Marx is his.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know running back that he's already got in
Speaker 2: there since he played last night. So it's a question
Speaker 2: of like, would you would you play both of these
Speaker 2: running backs for Jacksonville, or you know, would you sit
Speaker 2: one of them in favor of McMillan, Wilson, o'lab and Rice.
Speaker 2: This is this is tough.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, first I want to say congress to this guy.
Speaker 8: Get to that stage. And the main event is really hard.
Speaker 8: So like we did our first main event this year,
Speaker 8: we're we're not gonna make the mini tournament. But congress
Speaker 8: to this guy for uh for even being there. That
Speaker 8: that's a that's that's excellent. Uh. If he wants a
Speaker 8: ship chasing points, he'll start tooting. If he wants to
Speaker 8: actually win, he'll start traves et.
Speaker 3: So that's how I like that answer too. I like
Speaker 3: an answer. Yeah, there's but you know, Jimmy Williams agree
Speaker 3: with you guys at the end, but why not both?
Speaker 3: And it's situation that you know, if if you agree
Speaker 3: with Jimmy Williams when you come to Kentucky, it means
Speaker 3: you're already on the right path to minute.
Speaker 2: Tom Smith, Chiming and Pharrell team names next year are
Speaker 2: gonna be old and boring.
Speaker 3: I love it. Yeah, well, Tom, you can do better.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he could.
Speaker 3: That's pretty sad. I like it.
Speaker 2: What else do we have here in the let's see here?
Speaker 2: I thought, I know we answered the Kamara Judkins question. Okay,
Speaker 2: I think we can move on. Yeah, let's move on here.
Speaker 2: And I apologize if we did not answer your question.
Speaker 2: Post it again in the YouTube chat and uh and
Speaker 2: we'll be We'll get to it, all right, Alan, Let's
Speaker 2: throw this to you.
Speaker 3: Bye.
Speaker 2: Weeks are not over with completely yet, but they're coming
Speaker 2: to a close. I have heard a lot of people
Speaker 2: answer this question a lot of different ways. Some people
Speaker 2: like the one defense, some people like the two defenses,
Speaker 2: some people like and some of the sickos out there
Speaker 2: will roster for defenses or their main event teams with
Speaker 2: when the bye weeks come to an end, assuming you
Speaker 2: make the championship sprint in the Big Gorilla, which it
Speaker 2: looks like you're on pace four, Allen, how many defenses
Speaker 2: do you like to keep on this team?
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I think this is a position. Again, my
Speaker 9: brother and I were discussing it before it came on
Speaker 9: the air. We tried to get an edge with defense
Speaker 9: kicker all the time. Right, These get overlooked I think
Speaker 9: by a lot of players. They think you just really
Speaker 9: can punt those positions. But I mean points are points.
Speaker 9: Brandon Aubrey, you can get you twenty five in a week, right,
Speaker 9: Like he's a difference maker. So my brother and I
Speaker 9: have always throughout the season are always either a trying
Speaker 9: to carry at least you know, one extra defense to
Speaker 9: not only look ahead based off of schedule, but also
Speaker 9: look at the defenses that are doing really good throughout
Speaker 9: the year, right, Like if somebody drops Seattle, like, we
Speaker 9: want to get in and try and pick them up,
Speaker 9: because you know it's going to be a very high
Speaker 9: floor play with a good ceiling from a week to
Speaker 9: week perspective. So we really try to get we really
Speaker 9: try to get into the defense market. I mean, we
Speaker 9: spend a lot of fab on it throughout the season,
Speaker 9: but it's really to try to set us up to
Speaker 9: give us edges. Like when you're going into the sprint, right,
Speaker 9: you might want a defense that has some pretty soft
Speaker 9: matchups first and might be less played against the field.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 9: The people that played Houston yesterday got a huge edge
Speaker 9: on the field, right. I Mean it wasn't the greatest matchup,
Speaker 9: but it totally worked. And Houston is just a strong
Speaker 9: unit going forward.
Speaker 7: They might not have the.
Speaker 9: Best matchups going up, you know, going forward, like Colts
Speaker 9: and some of these other teams that they have to
Speaker 9: play that are pretty strong on offense, but if you
Speaker 9: get the right scenario for them, they're really they're I
Speaker 9: mean they're really strong, and they're elite and can get turnover,
Speaker 9: sex and the kinds of production that you're looking at
Speaker 9: the position. So I mean, my brother and I we
Speaker 9: took chances on even playing bad defenses early.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 9: We took Miami one week just because we the matchup
Speaker 9: was good enough. We hit par with it, but we
Speaker 9: were hoping to actually get a better than average production
Speaker 9: out of it. But it was really was just a
Speaker 9: play against the field, right, because if let's say the
Speaker 9: field only plays one to two percent Miami and Miami
Speaker 9: gets to twelve to fifteen points, right, you can get
Speaker 9: an edge that week, whereas let's say the rest of
Speaker 9: the field is playing just something Tommon like a green
Speaker 9: Bay and gets to like four. Right.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a level finance course coming right at you. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm like, my head is what's coming at you right here?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm gonna put in a production note
Speaker 3: mid show because you know we're getting long on time,
Speaker 3: and and you know we've got the quick quick hitters
Speaker 3: of fantasy feedback that you used to do with me.
Speaker 3: Why don't you do it with all three of us?
Speaker 6: All right, So we will do that, And the first
Speaker 6: one I'm gonna lead off with not not an email
Speaker 6: but a YouTube question from Tom Swift.
Speaker 2: Tom, you lead this off tonight. How about the Miami
Speaker 2: Dolphins defense and special teams versus the Saints in not
Speaker 2: in week twelve, but in week thirteen, Tom, how do
Speaker 2: you feel about the Dolphins defense next week?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 2: No, No, he doesn't like him. Farrell doesn't like him. Alan,
Speaker 2: any pushback on that? No, Miami, rethink that.
Speaker 3: Go back to the drawing board.
Speaker 2: Okay, Alan, I'll throw this to you right away. This
Speaker 2: is Art and Raleigh email tonight. I have two emails
Speaker 2: tonight for you guys. Hello, team DS. How concerned should
Speaker 2: I be about the inconsistency of rome a doonsay lately?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 2: This is a good question, Art and Raleigh, North Carolina. Uh, listen,
Speaker 2: I bought into him in Dynasty, I bought into him
Speaker 2: in Redraft and over the course of the last month, Alan,
Speaker 2: I've been underwhelmed. Is that going to continue? What's going
Speaker 2: on with our dude?
Speaker 8: Day?
Speaker 9: I think you're gonna You're gonna have to play him.
Speaker 9: But he is in the definition of a bus player
Speaker 9: right now, because again, the Bears passing attack is not strong.
Speaker 9: Right The Bears have been focused heavily on running the ball,
Speaker 9: and if they're not going to try to just force
Speaker 9: targets to a Dounesay to really get him going. I
Speaker 9: don't know, Like some weeks he has a lot of
Speaker 9: targets and he does something with them, but other weeks
Speaker 9: he's completely dust. So you kind of, I think, just
Speaker 9: have to put him in the wide receiver three flex
Speaker 9: conversation and you kind of got.
Speaker 7: To live with it in that tier. That's really my
Speaker 7: take on it.
Speaker 2: What about you, Tom, how do you feel about this?
Speaker 8: He's the definition of a three. So like if you're
Speaker 8: going to the Spider Man, you don't want Rome and
Speaker 8: AJ Brown and DK Metcalf in your lineup, but he's perfect.
Speaker 8: If you have Wan Dale and Josh Downs in your lineup,
Speaker 8: you know you just got the high floor with the
Speaker 8: high variant guy. And maybe my bears, Homer and some
Speaker 8: Bears are coming. Bear Bears are coming.
Speaker 3: You should have known you were going when you drafted
Speaker 3: this player. That is my response to this.
Speaker 8: Well, that's a good point.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's true, Farrell. I'll throw this one to you
Speaker 2: right away, and then I'll let Alan chime in and
Speaker 2: then Tom Baker Mayfield or Brock Purty. Jay Simpson twenty
Speaker 2: nine has Emika Igbuca and he is starting him. He
Speaker 2: also has Jennings can't decide to play Jennings over genty
Speaker 2: since he is going against the Cleveland Browns. Could stack
Speaker 2: Baker and Agbuca or Purdy and Jennings. This is an
Speaker 2: interesting one, Farrell. When you look at everything that Jay
Speaker 2: Simpson twenty nine is presenting us tonight, there's a lot
Speaker 2: that goes into this as far as team stacking goes.
Speaker 2: What would you do here at wide receiver and quarterback?
Speaker 3: I like the way he comes in with the question,
Speaker 3: I'm going to get Jennings in because I think this
Speaker 3: guy needs big points and that's what Jennings can deliver.
Speaker 3: And so despite you know, I watched some film last week,
Speaker 3: I continuing to win those fifty to fifty goals and
Speaker 3: I think that's what the quarterback is going to bring
Speaker 3: to it. In in deference to the golden age of
Speaker 3: football in Los Angeles and our guest tonight from the
Speaker 3: City of Angels, I am going to say, play Purdy
Speaker 3: and bench Baker against that tough Rams teacher.
Speaker 2: Alan, how do you feel about this? Is it Jennings
Speaker 2: and Purdy? Is would you go at Buka and Purdy?
Speaker 2: How would you feel about this?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 9: No, I think Farrell's spot on I really want to
Speaker 9: play Party. I want to play forty nine Ers offense
Speaker 9: as much as I have to because the defense stinks, right,
Speaker 9: Like forty nine Ers are going to win games because
Speaker 9: of their off I mean they proved it last week, right,
Speaker 9: Jacoby Brissett career, you know, historic performance right against that
Speaker 9: forty nine Ers defense.
Speaker 7: So any way.
Speaker 9: The forty nine ers are going to make the playoffs
Speaker 9: is going to rely heavily on that offense.
Speaker 7: Just cranking on all cylinders.
Speaker 9: So I know I Buka has you know, that wide
Speaker 9: receiver one profile right now, like people are really buying
Speaker 9: into potentially that being the breakout and he being that.
Speaker 9: But I really want to get anything with the forty
Speaker 9: nine ers as long as it's going to be like this,
Speaker 9: because I really think they're gonna be playing in the
Speaker 9: thirties pretty much every week going forward.
Speaker 2: Tom, your brother is very bullish on the Niners here,
Speaker 2: how do you feel about this discussion When we bring
Speaker 2: in Mayfield at Buka Jennings and Party into the conversation, I'll.
Speaker 8: Say, Jay Simpson, just wait, wait to see what your
Speaker 8: team needs to about six six o'clock on Sunday, if
Speaker 8: you need more upside rock Baker and Abuka. Like if
Speaker 8: you're down in your match and you need to really
Speaker 8: catch up.
Speaker 3: M hmm.
Speaker 8: That's what I would suggest. If you need, say floor,
Speaker 8: go Purty and Jennings. Actually no, because you can play
Speaker 8: Party and Abuka, right, Like that's good. Yeah, probably just
Speaker 8: Purty and Abuka. But if you need some upside doing
Speaker 8: Baker and Abuka, because like, sometimes we're down against somebody
Speaker 8: and it's like we're probably gonna lose anyway, let's take
Speaker 8: more of an upside swing and sometimes you pull a
Speaker 8: victory out of it. Because football is a is a
Speaker 8: strange sport. Man like Baker and Boo could go off.
Speaker 8: So I would just say wait till you don't have
Speaker 8: enough information yet to make this fully, I would say you're.
Speaker 3: Gonna take one of each. It's hard to put a
Speaker 3: booka on the bench. What I what I love about
Speaker 3: Jennings if you look at his game logs from previous
Speaker 3: years and somewhat from this year, those big games are there, uh,
Speaker 3: and then there's a lot of games there were you know. Tom.
Speaker 2: Tom does bring up a great point though, this is
Speaker 2: the Sunday night and the Monday night game, so you
Speaker 2: will know how you stand as far as you know,
Speaker 2: trying to make it to the you know, the main event, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, advancing in the main event playoffs or what
Speaker 2: have you. So this may be a decision, one of
Speaker 2: these rare decisions that you can make on Sunday evening
Speaker 2: rather than Sunday morning. Okay, let's go to one more
Speaker 2: email here, Tom, I think I'm gonna throw this to
Speaker 2: you right away. This comes from Brad in Eagleville, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3: Tom.
Speaker 2: How close to a league would will Coaxlin Loveland be
Speaker 2: this season? Thanks, guys, That is Brad in Eagleville. Pah, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean Loveland has been coming on. Cole Comett is healthy,
Speaker 2: which I think is more of a detriment to Loveland here.
Speaker 2: But Tom and Alan, I'll let you weigh in on
Speaker 2: this as well. But Tom, what do you think about
Speaker 2: Loveland as a potential league winner in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 8: It's one of my favorite players. It was somebody that
Speaker 8: I continuously drafted over and over again, but probably one
Speaker 8: of my worst picks of the year. I would love
Speaker 8: for him to beat the breakout. I would love for it.
Speaker 8: But Cole Comett is not going anywhere, so I hope
Speaker 8: I hope the answer is he breaks out because he's awesome.
Speaker 8: He's a great player, and that's the only way the
Speaker 8: Bears are going to get anywhere is if these young
Speaker 8: players really break out. But I don't think that that's
Speaker 8: what Ben Johnson wants to do. He wants to run
Speaker 8: the ball, He wants to use Cole Commett and DJ
Speaker 8: Moore pretty much. He wants to do everything that the
Speaker 8: fantasy community doesn't want him to, right. The fantasy community
Speaker 8: wants Luther Burden to just take over DJ Moore and
Speaker 8: wants Colston Loveland. But Ben Johnson wants to win football games.
Speaker 3: Remember the preseason excitement from all the fantasy players Detroit
Speaker 3: South tons of points. Just remember that. I'll show you
Speaker 3: this well.
Speaker 2: And it was a case of like to like, you know,
Speaker 2: everything that was going in in Chicago's direction.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: They had this guy in DJ Moore who they they
Speaker 2: they re uppted right and signed. They had Roma Dunze
Speaker 2: who they just drafted in the first round. Caleb Williams,
Speaker 2: who is the you know, number one overall pick, Ben
Speaker 2: Johnson who put up you know, fifty sixty seventy one
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty points a game in Detroit, so there,
Speaker 2: and then Colston Lovelan and Luther Burden, who they drafted
Speaker 2: in the first and second round respectively. So there was
Speaker 2: a lot of positive momentum going into all these players.
Speaker 2: And I'll say this guy's you know, as much as
Speaker 2: we say like that, that didn't meet the hype. Bears
Speaker 2: are in first place in one of the toughest in
Speaker 2: professional football right now, so I think they're doing at
Speaker 2: least something right there.
Speaker 8: For sure, are.
Speaker 2: Alan Colston Loveland League winner? Your brother is Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: with my brother on it.
Speaker 9: I mean we we we both, I mean consensus. We
Speaker 9: were building a lot of teams where we had other
Speaker 9: tight ends around him. I mean we really weren't using
Speaker 9: him as like the anchor and a lot of our builds,
Speaker 9: but we were really hoping that he was breaking out
Speaker 9: and could become like the Brock.
Speaker 7: Powers of last year when we were drafting.
Speaker 9: Right, and really he's he's a situational player, right, I mean,
Speaker 9: he's caught a couple of fluky type like the Again,
Speaker 9: you want to play any players against the Bengals as
Speaker 9: far as I'm concerned, Like, again, get your guys in
Speaker 9: against them, because really you might as well take a
Speaker 9: shot on anybody right who's playing them, because anybody could
Speaker 9: break out.
Speaker 7: But really, Colston Lovelin, besides.
Speaker 9: In the Bengals game is kind of have been just
Speaker 9: like an afterthought and it's fine. Hopefully he does provide
Speaker 9: some uh support for a lot of the people that
Speaker 9: drafted him, if your teams are still moving on that
Speaker 9: have him. But yeah, that's kind of really uh, that's
Speaker 9: really my take on it. I mean, I just think
Speaker 9: he's kind of just an okay player and this might
Speaker 9: not be the breakout year for him. Maybe it's next year,
Speaker 9: but I don't see it coming.
Speaker 3: You know. Balky always says, after you win that million dollars,
Speaker 3: we're gonna have you back to talk about it. Well,
Speaker 3: you know, and you can tell us what you're gonna
Speaker 3: do that million dollars. I think that would be our
Speaker 3: biggest show in history. Balky is to is to hear
Speaker 3: the banker say where it's gonna go and hear the
Speaker 3: labeler say this is a tag we're gonna put on it.
Speaker 3: I just think it'll be great. You know, this this
Speaker 3: is you know, the chat room loves you. We got
Speaker 3: we gotta get we gotta get you guys back. On
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 2: Well, all you go, all you have to do is
Speaker 2: win the million bucks, and he.
Speaker 9: Said, that's it, that's it, easy, easy, we got we
Speaker 9: got in the bag.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you don't, it's probably because you didn't want
Speaker 3: to bother with the tax issues.
Speaker 8: The real prize would be getting to come back on
Speaker 8: the show.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 8: It's like three million dollars is great, but round two
Speaker 8: with Eric and Ferrell and no now and the Colston
Speaker 8: Lovelin breakout. I mean, like now we're living in a dream.
Speaker 3: But he can cash four passes and then break out.
Speaker 9: If we can get the Luke must Grave breakout with it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave it. Perrel's gonna ask you one final
Speaker 2: question a second as the resident Yes, you are, as
Speaker 2: the resident defender of the Green Bay Packers on this show.
Speaker 2: I will say that on Monday morning, when Matt Lafleur
Speaker 2: was asked about Luke Musgrave, he repeatedly said, we need
Speaker 2: to get him involved more. We need to get him
Speaker 2: out on the field more. We need to get them
Speaker 2: more snaps. And I will have a conversation with our
Speaker 2: staff about that. So listen, Maybe that means nothing, but
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say this if Luke Musgrave somehow ends
Speaker 2: up with seven for seventy against the Vikings this week.
Speaker 2: You were warned by one Eric Baukman and one Matt
Speaker 2: Lafloor this week. I don't think it's gonna happen, but
Speaker 2: that'll be the explanation if we see Musgrave out there
Speaker 2: quite a bit. Take it for what it is, Okay,
Speaker 2: Farrell final question.
Speaker 3: Well, we've already had the sleeper part answer, So the
Speaker 3: final question is a truncated version about the player. I
Speaker 3: want you to tell me who is this week's Justin
Speaker 3: Herbert put up five point five points for me. Now,
Speaker 3: now I want to know who that player is that
Speaker 3: people are going to depend on. But you guys can
Speaker 3: already tell us they shouldn't. They shouldn't play this player
Speaker 3: this week because no one can see the train wreck,
Speaker 3: but you guys can already hear the wheels screeching across
Speaker 3: the rails.
Speaker 8: Well, people probably can see it. We'll just say one.
Speaker 8: One spicy person that we're considering sitting is Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 8: So and you guys brought up another one we were
Speaker 8: considering sitting Roma dunees A too. So both of those
Speaker 8: guys it really depends on who you have, But at
Speaker 8: this time of year, you could have definitely had Emmanuel
Speaker 8: Wilson or Seawan Tucker on your bench and those are
Speaker 8: just kind of those are just better starts at this
Speaker 8: point in time. So my our spicy take is sitting
Speaker 8: justin Jefferson in lambeau Field where he's he has struggled before.
Speaker 8: So that's that's our spicy take.
Speaker 2: I would say this, like, in regards to the Jefferson thing,
Speaker 2: number one, I love the boldness on the call number two.
Speaker 2: In the past, when Jefferson has struggled, that's usually been
Speaker 2: because of a really good corner like Jaye Alexander in
Speaker 2: the past, and the Packer don't have that this year. However,
Speaker 2: they do. They have not had a pass rush like
Speaker 2: they have had this year, and the Vikings have had
Speaker 2: better quarterbacks than JJ McCarthy making his sixth overall start.
Speaker 2: So there is something to be considered in regards to
Speaker 2: Jefferson for that as well. So Alan, I think great
Speaker 2: points there on that for sure.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 9: No, I mean again, my brother and I were really
Speaker 9: thinking about this before we came on air, and Jefferson
Speaker 9: was the player that we thought was like you know
Speaker 9: a top tier guy that if he has a bad game,
Speaker 9: we're not going to be surprised. It really comes down
Speaker 9: to the quarterback play. It's so uneven with McCarthy. So
Speaker 9: I mean, it really comes down to and really, this
Speaker 9: is an important game for Green Bay. They can't keep
Speaker 9: losing pace, especially if they lose somehow lose this game
Speaker 9: to Minnesota and then sometimes lose to Detroit on things,
Speaker 9: giving their dire straits yep in that division.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Tom, what about you? How would you weigh
Speaker 2: in on both parts of this question?
Speaker 8: Uh? Which side of it? I'm I'm.
Speaker 2: Whichever side if there's somebody that that you think that
Speaker 2: that f f PC players need to be thinking hard
Speaker 2: about besides justin Jefferson Benching and then as well as
Speaker 2: a player that you know, and and I think everybody's
Speaker 2: looking for a player this week Pharrell kind of alluded
Speaker 2: to it as well. Everybody's looking for that that sleeper
Speaker 2: that's gonna help him get, you know, into the playoffs,
Speaker 2: advancing to the playoffs, getting them higher up on the
Speaker 2: leader board. There's a lot of different ways to go.
Speaker 8: All right. I mean, I got a bunch of sleepers
Speaker 8: for you.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I get that.
Speaker 8: I gave you the Kamara. It depends on what you have,
Speaker 8: but I think gent you could potentially sit genty in
Speaker 8: this matchup, even though he projects really well. I was
Speaker 8: gonna say this about the Jennings thing. If you're a
Speaker 8: volume drafter and this is just to your audience, like
Speaker 8: for us, this is just a suggestion. But find to
Speaker 8: somebody that you really like the projections and it'll help
Speaker 8: you with these decisions because sometimes these like well, when
Speaker 8: we're making a line of line of decisions, we're like,
Speaker 8: what's the projection?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 8: Like, but jen because you could potentially sit genty but
Speaker 8: he projects pretty well this week. So that's here. And
Speaker 8: are there a couple of sleepers? I think you're sicky.
Speaker 8: It's probably Waivers. People forget what he is. He's also
Speaker 8: twenty six hundred in DFS for anybody out there in DFS.
Speaker 8: My main man, Darius Slayton against the Lions with Jamis
Speaker 8: Winston is that's that. That's a bold wide receiver three
Speaker 8: that could get you two points but also could get
Speaker 8: you twenty four and like enough pinch. I don't want
Speaker 8: to take up all the sleepers, but well, just just
Speaker 8: real quick, young, I'm just sicky, just real quick, if
Speaker 8: you think about the games that if you look back
Speaker 8: on the games that Chase has missed over the years,
Speaker 8: it's not necessarily been Yoshibas and Higgins.
Speaker 2: It's been Mike Kisiki, who just got activated, you know,
Speaker 2: in his and like we'll see if he's activated for
Speaker 2: the game, but he's been activated off I R and
Speaker 2: I think he is a very intriguing guy in tight
Speaker 2: end premium leagues like the f f PC. So when
Speaker 2: you look back or or you know, when you're watching
Speaker 2: our show next Friday and say all like I can't
Speaker 2: believe Kasiki, like like you know, got six for eighty
Speaker 2: in a touchdown. You heard it here first, you know,
Speaker 2: from from Tommy d and and to a lesser point,
Speaker 2: Eric Balkman, I like Kasiki this week.
Speaker 3: And he is a he's largely a slot receiver. So
Speaker 3: coming back to the injury, basically he doesn't he doesn't
Speaker 3: have to do what a tight end does. You know,
Speaker 3: across most of the league. He's not a Ferguson, he's
Speaker 3: not a gun and he's certainly he's certainly not a kittle.
Speaker 9: He's I was gonna say real quick, Tommy and I
Speaker 9: were talking earlier, and we both liked leget and Jacoby
Speaker 9: Myers this week.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I get to Myers aspect, what is it
Speaker 2: about Legett that has you intrigued in Week twelve again?
Speaker 9: But it's it's forty nine Ers defense again. The wide
Speaker 9: receiver three. You know, just he's gonna scam get all
Speaker 9: these little selg if he's doing the same thing as
Speaker 9: like a Michael Wilson and Bryce Young is just throwing
Speaker 9: these short passes to him. Because again, the car the
Speaker 9: Panthers were getting it going pretty good against a decent
Speaker 9: pass defense against Atlanta. This forty nine Ers defense, I
Speaker 9: don't even know what it's going to be going into
Speaker 9: that game. So if it's the same kind of thing
Speaker 9: that the Carolina Panthers are moving the ball up and
Speaker 9: down the field, I just want to get pieces of
Speaker 9: the offense in a pinch, right like leget If you
Speaker 9: if you really need a like a bye week filler
Speaker 9: spot start, could definitely be a wide receiver three flex
Speaker 9: that could just come in very cheap that would be
Speaker 9: pretty effective.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I'm so honored. I'm so honored to
Speaker 3: hear this. Leget again is not a popular player on
Speaker 3: the show. However, it does have one fan me. Remember
Speaker 3: the guest Talgy our love of the guy down from
Speaker 3: Florida that we had and you and you guys, you
Speaker 3: guys really pushed me in a corner on Legat and
Speaker 3: he came back that week and scored twenty four points
Speaker 3: guys against my guy, and I do there's no player
Speaker 3: that I would rather see on the post game podium
Speaker 3: than a get. So you know, I'm right with you, guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing like Xavier the get Uh, not only talking
Speaker 2: about how he gets open for agatt touchdowns, but how
Speaker 2: he prepares his famous New Orleans gumbo, Yes, which I love,
Speaker 2: you know, equal equal points on that for sure. Guys.
Speaker 2: We have kept you way too long tonight, entertained us
Speaker 2: way too much, you have informed us way too much,
Speaker 2: and I wish you nothing but the best with your
Speaker 2: three teams in the top one hundred of the f
Speaker 2: f PC Big Gorilla right now, and rest assured that
Speaker 2: if you guys do have one of those teams bring
Speaker 2: home that million dollar grand prize, you will have an
Speaker 2: easy ticket back onto this show coming up in late
Speaker 2: December early January. Whenever it is to talk about how
Speaker 2: you guys got it done. Thank you so much for

Speaker 4: more interviews, add more advice from guests much smarter than
Speaker 4: they are. Thanks for watching, and we'll talk with you
Speaker 4: again next week.
Speaker 2: I just want to just real quick before before we
Speaker 2: sent off the ternight, I should have done this last
Speaker 2: week and it slipped my mind, and I apologize for that.
Speaker 2: I don't always like to bring up bad news on
Speaker 2: the show, but sometimes we have to to pay tribute
Speaker 2: to people who made the show possible, people who made
Speaker 2: the FFPC possible. Found out, uh last week or earlier
Speaker 2: last week, that Jeff Antley, a long time FFPC and
Speaker 2: KFFFC player, ended up passing away way too young. He
Speaker 2: was in his early fifties. Good friend of Tommy Herron,
Speaker 2: who you know, he's been on this show before. He's
Speaker 2: been on the road of his High Stakes Lowdown a
Speaker 2: couple of times as well. And Jeff and I had
Speaker 2: the opportunity to talk and catch up and hang out
Speaker 2: talk fantasy football, talk life both at Caesar's Southern Indiana
Speaker 2: for the KFFFC as well as out for the FFPC
Speaker 2: live events in Las Vegas. This, I mean, it's gonna
Speaker 2: sound very generic here. And I didn't know Jeff all
Speaker 2: that well, but I knew him fairly well, and I
Speaker 2: will say incredibly nice guy, so much fun to talk
Speaker 2: fantasy football with. I learned a lot about fantasy football
Speaker 2: in talking with him over the years, both in Louisville
Speaker 2: and Las Vegas. And I will definitely miss him when
Speaker 2: I go to Louisville, not only for the Super Bowl Sunday,
Speaker 2: but in August. And i'll miss him in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: And I know the conversations that Tommy Herron and Jeff
Speaker 2: Antley and I had in between breaks at the KFFSC
Speaker 2: or in between drafts in Las Vegas, they won't be
Speaker 2: the same because Jeff won't be there. Very knowledgeable guy,
Speaker 2: very nice guy, and certainly lived life to the fullest,
Speaker 2: big traveler. He went out and did everything he could
Speaker 2: to make sure that that he didn't just exist, he
Speaker 2: didn't just survive. He lived his life. And I think
Speaker 2: that's the best compliment I can pay him. So rest
Speaker 2: in peace, jeff Antley. We miss you, buddy, and we
Speaker 2: hope you're having a good time up there. Until next week, everybody,
Speaker 2: thanks so much for watching, and we will talk with
Speaker 2: you again on Monday.
