Speaker 1: at kfffc dot com. Please welcome in the architect, the genius,
Speaker 1: the man, the myth, the legend behind the KFFF Mister
Speaker 1: Farrell Elliott. Good evening commissioner.
Speaker 2: Buddy, How are you? What a fabulous introduction? This is
Speaker 2: really great. You know, reading in the message boards, you
Speaker 2: see the guys that are coming in commenting early. Adam
Speaker 2: Hahn had a Heidi game moment last night. He gave
Speaker 2: up on the game and he's he's saying never again.
Speaker 2: And Adam you wouldn't even four scorers in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: You can't do it. You gotta stick with the game
Speaker 2: to the very won that fantastic Last Night book.
Speaker 1: So much fun watching it. I had Pukinakua going in
Speaker 1: a few leagues, so that was fun. I thought the
Speaker 1: performance by Kenneth Walker got me going as well. I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of people that had, you know,
Speaker 1: like Adam Hahn gave up on the game, had given
Speaker 1: up on Kenneth Walker. This man they had a song
Speaker 1: could talk about and and both Walker and Charbonay getting
Speaker 1: the end zone last night. In fact, I think all
Speaker 1: the running backs Ferrell in this game got in the
Speaker 1: end zone except for one Kyra and Williams. So it
Speaker 1: was very interesting. Why it was a classic game. I
Speaker 1: think Amazon Prime Video had to be super psyched to
Speaker 1: get the de facto NFC West Championship game on Thursday night.
Speaker 1: They got a great game too. It was fantastic For
Speaker 1: anybody says Thursday night football does not do it for him,
Speaker 1: I questioned whether they like football.
Speaker 2: We got one this week. And you know who is
Speaker 2: the beautiful blonde girl that hosts with four guys on
Speaker 2: the Amazon Thompson Oh my goodness, and and she she
Speaker 2: announces that you know, all the Seattle fans that left
Speaker 2: in the third quarter, they have cameras. I know who
Speaker 2: you are. You know there's a yeah, it's a big
Speaker 2: I tell you what. Fantasy players couldn't leave that game,
Speaker 2: just couldn't leave that game. And I know Adawan is
Speaker 2: a great Fantasy player, but you know, you you you
Speaker 2: just couldn't leave that game. It was fascinating. And that
Speaker 2: stack of Stafford and Pukin Nakua along along with the
Speaker 2: JSN from Seattle, all of that barner, the tight end
Speaker 2: has propelled some of the teams up to the top
Speaker 2: of the k of FSC and I'm sure the FFBC
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba had a bagel at halftime. He ends
Speaker 1: up with catches for ninety six yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: And Farrell, this is two consecutive Thursdays now where we've
Speaker 1: seen Championship Leaderboard defining performances. We saw it from Kyle
Speaker 1: Pitts in week fifteen and now in Week sixteen pokin
Speaker 1: Akua twelve catches, two hundred and twenty five yards and
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. And I'll say this as well, it's not
Speaker 1: on the rundown's just bring it up right now. Sean
Speaker 1: McVay already said today that he does not expect wow
Speaker 1: Ante Adams to play next week against Atlanta, which would
Speaker 1: mean it is wheels up for pukuin Akua could be
Speaker 1: the truest form of a league winner this year in
Speaker 1: the FFPC and in the KFFFC more than next week.
Speaker 2: Nikky Banks sent us a heart and she asked for
Speaker 2: advice last week. We must have done something right. I
Speaker 2: can't remember her question, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't remember either. I know she asked me.
Speaker 1: I think she was hanging out in the FFPC inside
Speaker 1: her access chat last night as well with me and
Speaker 1: Nico Rossly.
Speaker 2: You mean she's been too timing me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she might have been. She might have been
Speaker 1: three timing you because I think she she may or
Speaker 1: may not have been in the road of his high
Speaker 1: stakes load on this past week with Brent and Mark
Speaker 1: Messina and myself as well.
Speaker 2: So I don't know know Nikki was getting around like that.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, she she craves fantasy knowledge and God bless her.
Speaker 1: She's come to the right place. Uh, not for you
Speaker 1: and me, obviously, but for our great guests that we
Speaker 1: have on the show, like Chris Terrell coming up tonight.
Speaker 1: Well about football, Yeah, let's get into it. Let's go
Speaker 1: to Carolina. David Newton, who covers the Panthers for ESPN
Speaker 1: dot Com, says, Tedoroa McMillan is going to play Week
Speaker 1: sixteen against the Buccaneers. He did not practice on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: He got in a full practice yesterday and today he
Speaker 1: is off the injury report. And this is a massive
Speaker 1: game in the NFC South against the Tampa Bay Buck
Speaker 1: And here his first time the Bucks and the Panthers
Speaker 1: have squared off this season. He has failed. Tetero McMillan,
Speaker 1: that has failed to top forty three receiving yards for
Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three straight weeks. The Panthers,
Speaker 1: I think you can you can make the case that
Speaker 1: the way they beat Tampa is not on the ground
Speaker 1: trying to run Ricodoudel to be Hubbard at Vidavea and
Speaker 1: all those guys in the front seven. With Tampa, it's
Speaker 1: through the air. Farrell, When you consider going for a
Speaker 1: million bucks in the Big Gorilla or the main event
Speaker 1: this week, how nervous would you be about deploying Tetero
Speaker 1: McMillan in what should be a good matchup, but a
Speaker 1: guy who's really not been performing up to snuff as
Speaker 1: far as being a receiver on a million dollar winning
Speaker 1: team over the past three weeks. One of these weird
Speaker 1: you know, balancing the matchup versus the previous performance and
Speaker 1: the talent. You know, that's that's the third part of
Speaker 1: this scenario as well.
Speaker 2: Our belove, Drew Vusselli called me out on this. He says,
Speaker 2: you know, so you guys don't con consider who's on
Speaker 2: the roster, and so we can't dig through the whole
Speaker 2: show to consider who's on the roster. But Teed McMillan,
Speaker 2: if you have a player that you think over this
Speaker 2: season has shown skill sets that's better than the thirty
Speaker 2: seventh overall in catches, because that's what he is. So
Speaker 2: that was that making in here a number two receiver
Speaker 2: thirty seven, thirty seventh in catches.
Speaker 1: No receiver would make him a high end number four,
Speaker 1: no bulky you added up.
Speaker 2: If he's thirty seven, thirty seventh in catches, how many
Speaker 2: teams you got? You got thirty two teams. What are
Speaker 2: you talking about? You're talking about thirty seven catches. I'm
Speaker 2: talking about you being the number two receivers. Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: a receiver for Carolina.
Speaker 1: I'm talking okay, but I'm I'm phrasing in fantasy circumstances.
Speaker 2: Well, that's more important. I agree.
Speaker 1: So we're both right because they're talking about two different things.
Speaker 1: Please go ahead.
Speaker 2: Well, all I'm going to say is you eyeballed this receiver.
Speaker 2: You The quick answer to this is I don't want
Speaker 2: to give up on this receiver. You eyeballwed this receiver
Speaker 2: very early on in the spring last year. You said
Speaker 2: he was your guy. He's thirty seventh in total catches,
Speaker 2: but he's more like fifteenth than yardage in the league,
Speaker 2: and he's fifteenth in scores. This player is gonna get
Speaker 2: nothing but better, and they are probably when you look
Speaker 2: at the coach, who's Carolina got this week?
Speaker 1: Tampa? Okay, when you look at what.
Speaker 2: Happened to Tampa against Atlanta last time, you have to
Speaker 2: you have to basically think that they've seen that film
Speaker 2: and they're going to draw up some plays to make
Speaker 2: things work for this player. They want this player to
Speaker 2: get back on track. This is a player that's gotta
Speaker 2: beat them. I'm gonna I'm gonna bet on a big
Speaker 2: bounce back game for Ted McMillan this week.
Speaker 1: I have a list of receivers here, well, not a list,
Speaker 1: but guys that you may be considering over McMillan this week.
Speaker 1: I think Juwan Jennings I would definitely play over McMillan.
Speaker 1: Sutton is kind of borderline. I think I would lean
Speaker 1: towards McMillan over Suton. Michael Wilson, for sure, I'm playing
Speaker 1: him over Tetero and McMillan, and then after that Farrell.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like the studs, you know. So I'm
Speaker 1: very bullish on McMillan this week. I think he gets
Speaker 1: together against Tampa as well. Uh so we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens there. Michael Carter. According to John Head, coach, Carter
Speaker 1: is going to start against the Falcons this week at
Speaker 1: running back. Theo mackiew reported this who covers the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Bam Knight is on injured reserve along with one Trey
Speaker 1: Benson and James Connor. Dan Williamson was saying this on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Empire podcast that borrowed it in the show Open.
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals running back is now the new spinal
Speaker 1: tap drummer. You don't know when you are going to
Speaker 1: get hurt, but at some point it will happen. And yeah,
Speaker 1: Dan Williamson said he's riding Michael Carter until he gets hurt.
Speaker 1: This is a tea he's going up against this week
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. The Falcons are twenty fifth and rushing yards allowed,
Speaker 1: twenty fourth in yards per carry allowed. Last week, with
Speaker 1: the return of Ami de Marcado, Michael Carter still had
Speaker 1: fifty three offensive snaps. Dey Marcado was only in on seven.
Speaker 1: And I think that there's not a ton of people
Speaker 1: that will be playing Michael Carter this week to keep
Speaker 1: a lead or to you know, expecting a big performance
Speaker 1: or expecting, you know, a high score in the Big
Speaker 1: Gorilla or the main event, to try to climb up
Speaker 1: the leaderboards. But I will say this, you could do worse.
Speaker 1: And as far as Michael Carter goes this week, if
Speaker 1: you are hurting at the running back position, I think
Speaker 1: you could do worse than him. Don't know if he
Speaker 1: would crack my top twenty running backs this week, but
Speaker 1: he's definitely in the flex scenario, not only for the
Speaker 1: FFPC Farrell, but for the KFFFC as well, how do
Speaker 1: you see this, sir.
Speaker 2: Well, I have you know, dis closure on this one.
Speaker 2: The Carter brothers are great pals of behind his brothers
Speaker 2: Dwayne and Josh and Mike, and they have a wonderful
Speaker 2: business out of Navari Beach, Florida. And you know, I
Speaker 2: absolutely love these guys, and so I've been excited ever
Speaker 2: since Michael got in the league. You know, he's he's
Speaker 2: not injured for this game, but injuries have held him
Speaker 2: back in his career. And now if you go back
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty one, you've got one hundred yard rusher here.
Speaker 2: You've got a guy that in his first two years
Speaker 2: in the league accumulated over a thousand yards. This is
Speaker 2: a very good player given an opportunity. I think you
Speaker 2: get in business with Michael Carter, not because I like
Speaker 2: him as a guy, but as I because I understand
Speaker 2: what he's got to do with this team, and he's
Speaker 2: been waiting for this chance a long time. I would
Speaker 2: say that any running back that you feel that you
Speaker 2: have on your roster that's a little beat up, a
Speaker 2: little banged up, the game script might not go his way.
Speaker 2: They might not. You know, whatever it is you can
Speaker 2: put Michael Carter in front of this player.
Speaker 1: I would not encourage you to try to shoehorn him
Speaker 1: in your lineups. Oh I will, I will, I know
Speaker 1: Farrell will. But I wish you in there. Push him
Speaker 1: in there like a pair of boots bulky that you
Speaker 1: bought and kind of shrunk. Your socks are too big.
Speaker 1: Push you in, Push you all right. Farrell is more bullish.
Speaker 1: And I don't hate Carter this week, but Farrell clearly
Speaker 1: likes him a little bit. Be bullish, you know what
Speaker 1: I am bullish on as the Jacksonville offense, Yes, and
Speaker 1: what they did this past week. The Jaguars have signed
Speaker 1: their prize trade possession at the trade deadline, Jacoby Myers,
Speaker 1: to a three year, sixty million dollar extension. This makes
Speaker 1: him a Jaguar through the twenty twenty eight season. It
Speaker 1: reportedly contains forty million dollars guaranteed. Now, just to you know,
Speaker 1: this is a small sample size, obviously, but since Week ten,
Speaker 1: when Jacoby Myers joined the Jaguars, he has led the
Speaker 1: team in targets, receptions, and yards. He scored the second
Speaker 1: most receiving touchdowns and out of the third seven targets
Speaker 1: he's received from Trevor Lawrence there, he's caught twenty seven
Speaker 1: of them, good enough for well over three in our
Speaker 1: fifty yards and three touchdowns. He can He has played
Speaker 1: in the slot, he has played on the perimeter, and
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen seems to know how to use this guy.
Speaker 1: Farrell and super exciting for anybody who has Jacoby Myers
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Let's wide scope a little bit. You
Speaker 1: think about the Jaguars offense next year. Trevor Lawrence is
Speaker 1: going to be back, Travis Hunter is going to be
Speaker 1: off of injured reserve, He'll be on this team next year,
Speaker 1: and obviously the Brian Thomas, who is starting to come
Speaker 1: on a little bit but obviously had this really dominant
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four season. Now you have all three of
Speaker 1: those guys, plus Travis Etn who had a really resurgent
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, and Brenton Strange as well. The Jaguars
Speaker 1: pass catchers and skill position players are absolutely loaded in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. The Meyers extension. Does this affect the
Speaker 1: way that you think about not only Myers, but like
Speaker 1: guys like Thomas A, Hunter, Strange, Etn going forward here?
Speaker 1: When you saw this, I guess what was your initial
Speaker 1: Fantasy football reaction to the contract.
Speaker 2: Fantasy Football was that that by the organization trying to
Speaker 2: identify a veteran player who could come in and change
Speaker 2: their culture, that you now could elevate all these players
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty six. Too late for me here because
Speaker 2: I did not get engaged at the at the draft
Speaker 2: capitol with any of the Jaguar players. And this will
Speaker 2: get me, this will get me involved. And you know,
Speaker 2: Don Gazzetti, our great val. Don Gazzetti's probably hated to
Speaker 2: see this player leave the Raiders, but he bet on
Speaker 2: himself and said, you know, I can do something better
Speaker 2: for himself. He's going to be a continual beneficiary to
Speaker 2: the quarterback and to all the other players around him.
Speaker 2: When he was with the Raiders. It didn't take very
Speaker 2: long to see you know, you talk to him any
Speaker 2: of the other receivers and they'll tell you, well, Meyers
Speaker 2: says this, you know, and if you that's good investment
Speaker 2: in time. So to wrap it up, Fantasy plus for
Speaker 2: all of the Jags next year, including the quarterback.
Speaker 1: A rising tide raises all ships, and that is what
Speaker 1: we have here in Jacksonville. Who's the rising tide? Is
Speaker 1: the Trevor Lawrence. It's probably Liam Cohen quite frankly, and
Speaker 1: he does.
Speaker 2: He doesn't score in fantasy.
Speaker 1: Though, but he puts his players in positions to score
Speaker 1: and fantasy.
Speaker 2: See how you saved that there.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the AFC playoffs, just the NFL
Speaker 1: playoffs in general this year is going to be so
Speaker 1: much fun. But you look at the AFC playoffs. No
Speaker 1: Kansas City obviously this year. Jacksonville is probably going to
Speaker 1: be making it. In Faro. We could have, dare I say,
Speaker 1: an AFC championship game preview in Mile High this weekend
Speaker 1: between Denver and Jacksonville. That's gonna be a fun one
Speaker 1: to see. The Jaguars been roll in the last month,
Speaker 1: but this will be the tough defense they've faced robably
Speaker 1: since October, so it's gonna be a good one in
Speaker 1: Mile High. I want to go to the YouTube chat
Speaker 1: right now. Jimmy Williams our good buddy. We're just talking
Speaker 1: about Michael Carter. Should he be playing Michael Carter this
Speaker 1: week against Atlanta or David Montgomery against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: That's a tough one, but and it's easy to say
Speaker 2: Montgomery depends on what you need Jimmy. If you're if
Speaker 2: you're already in the hunt and you need a solid
Speaker 2: score you can count on, you know, Montgomery's likely to
Speaker 2: give you that. If you need points, if you need
Speaker 2: somebody to step up and score some big points for you,
Speaker 2: go Carter. Because I don't think Montgomery gets twenty five
Speaker 2: or thirty, but Carter could.
Speaker 1: I'm playing Carter here, and quite frankly, Farrell, I even
Speaker 1: if I needed a high floor, I think I'd still
Speaker 1: be playing Carter with the volume he's been getting. I've
Speaker 1: been worried about David Montgomery and what's been going on
Speaker 1: with that Lion's offense, specifically with him. You're looking at
Speaker 1: a guy in Montgomery who has failed to top He
Speaker 1: has not gotten more than sixty sixty rushing yards since
Speaker 1: Week ten, and that's it, and before that it was
Speaker 1: week five. And this is a guy who's not involved
Speaker 1: in the passing game, right. He has not had more
Speaker 1: than four catches all season, and those four catches came
Speaker 1: in week one. I think I trust the volume with
Speaker 1: Carter Moore. So I'm gonna say I understand what you're
Speaker 1: saying here, but I'm gonna say, whether you need a
Speaker 1: high floor or high ceiling. I still think it's Michael
Speaker 1: Carter this week over Montgomery.
Speaker 2: We are in agreement.
Speaker 1: There. There you go, Jimmy, Brent Studebaker On Facebook, Farrell
Speaker 1: baal Key tell me I'm not dead going against Puka
Speaker 1: in a head to head elimination, and he also says
Speaker 1: Ferrell go win four point zero, So good luck for
Speaker 1: you in that league as well. I don't think you're
Speaker 1: dead going head to head against Pooka Nakua. You know,
Speaker 1: when it's one v one, anything's possible. I'd have to
Speaker 1: see the rest of your lineup. But while Nikoula was
Speaker 1: awesome on Thursday night, Farrell, anything can happen and usually
Speaker 1: does in the NFL. So you are definitely live here, Brent,
Speaker 1: would you agree?
Speaker 2: Farrel? Yes? But Brent, when you watch that, you want
Speaker 2: to die. You want to just feel that you're dead.
Speaker 2: That's a hard thing to watch. But you know, can
Speaker 2: they throw it to anyone else besides it is? I
Speaker 2: understand and thank you for those thoughts. You know, I
Speaker 2: was I had the distinction of being an honorary twenty
Speaker 2: six er and I was able to join the twenty
Speaker 2: six or four point zero league, and I got to
Speaker 2: win two head to heads and call myself the champion.
Speaker 2: I would be gracious and humble to accept that title
Speaker 2: if I can get there, if.
Speaker 5: You can get there with a lineup of non performers, right, yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: We have to get to our guest tonight, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Who is not facing the upward climb that Farrell and
Speaker 1: I are facing in our leagues, or maybe he is
Speaker 1: because he's going against so many teams in the ff
Speaker 1: PC Main Event. However, heading into week sixteen, this dude
Speaker 1: found himself in fourth place overall, with just three teams
Speaker 1: separating him from a one million dollar grand prize. He's
Speaker 1: joining us here tonight, a veteran of the FFPC Big
Speaker 1: Gorilla and the Main Event. Please welcome into the program,
Speaker 1: mister Chris Terrell. Chris, good evening, sir, and early happy holidays.
Speaker 1: Greeting to you.
Speaker 2: How in the heck are you doing on this beautiful
Speaker 2: Friday night?
Speaker 6: Doing great? Guys, Appreciate you having me on happy Friday
Speaker 6: Night's been going good?
Speaker 1: How was uh? I mean, We're gonna get to the
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts question here in a little bit, but you know,
Speaker 1: just take take us through what that Week fifteen was
Speaker 1: like for you, putting up a massive score and really
Speaker 1: vaulting yourself into the elite of the elite of the
Speaker 1: FFPC Main Event Championship leaderboard, which you still find yourself
Speaker 1: that Week fifteen had to be something, Chris.
Speaker 6: It was something. You know, that team went eleven to
Speaker 6: one this season and it was a good team, but
Speaker 6: it was you know, sitting around one hundredth plays and
Speaker 6: the points and I felt like it was a little
Speaker 6: bit better. And then all the pieces came together. Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 6: We just got a little bit of a break with
Speaker 6: London being out, I think, and so that that really helped.
Speaker 6: But just everybody came through two or fifty three points.
Speaker 6: That was a that was a big move.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, and you've got to be a huge
Speaker 2: Cousins fans, now, yeah, you just gotta be. I thought that.
Speaker 2: I thought that the pit the great Pitts game was
Speaker 2: a response to the way Cousins was spinning it. In
Speaker 2: the touch that he was putting on the ball. I've
Speaker 2: seen Pitts that wide open before and not get the ball.
Speaker 2: That's and it was great to watch. So congratulations on that.
Speaker 2: Now this week you have London returning to an offense
Speaker 2: that I think is the capability and the quarterback to
Speaker 2: service more than two top receivers, and you've got the
Speaker 2: hot hand with London returning. What's your expectations on Pitts
Speaker 2: this week?
Speaker 6: History shows that that Pitts's targets dropped drastically with London
Speaker 6: in the game. I'm hoping that London is not quite
Speaker 6: at full strength and he's more of a decoy this week.
Speaker 6: I really don't know why they would do that though,
Speaker 6: just considering where they are in terms of no playoff chances.
Speaker 6: So London must be back, and it is definitely gonna
Speaker 6: hurt the performance on Pits. I just I don't see
Speaker 6: anywhey around it.
Speaker 2: Do you think you think you can get your fifteen
Speaker 2: or twenty points out of Pits or are you thinking
Speaker 2: closer to just low double digits?
Speaker 6: Yeah, ten to fifteen.
Speaker 1: Is sort of that hurts.
Speaker 2: It hurts so bad it does.
Speaker 1: You already got the fifty one last week, Farrell, I
Speaker 1: mean you already got the fifty one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he wants to keep moving.
Speaker 1: What place are you in, sir, I'm in fourth?
Speaker 2: You hear that bulky fourth?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you won't.
Speaker 6: Keep moving although I need a time machine. I need
Speaker 6: to go back to yesterday because my my all star
Speaker 6: kicker put up two points yesterday and that that's the
Speaker 6: hurt to the start of this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But.
Speaker 1: Getting back to the Pits thing is there? I mean,
Speaker 1: you kind of already handled this, but but I want
Speaker 1: to ask you, Chris, is there a situation where not
Speaker 1: that London would be a decoy, but that they would
Speaker 1: bring him back and that he would be active, but
Speaker 1: he wouldn't play his full compliment of snaps? Is I guess?
Speaker 1: I know that's a possibility, but how strong of a
Speaker 1: possibility is that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that is the strong possibility.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 6: I think it's you know, they may want to get
Speaker 6: him back in the game, game motion, going through his routes,
Speaker 6: doing things that he would want to do to finish
Speaker 6: out the season, but they don't want to put him
Speaker 6: in any danger of hurting himself long term. So so
Speaker 6: I'm hopeful that that's going to be the situation and
Speaker 6: I can grab twenty to twenty five points out of
Speaker 6: Pits this week. That would be fantastic the.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, go ahead, Cheryl, I said, yes, it would,
Speaker 2: and I'm hoping for you man, I'm I'm rooting for you.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I will say this. Tom Smith chiming in on the
Speaker 1: on the YouTube chat right now, Kyle Pitts is banged
Speaker 1: up with the knee injury, and while he was dealing
Speaker 1: with a knee injury, he has not listed on the
Speaker 1: final injury report. He was limited in today's practice as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean like stuff like this, Chris,
Speaker 1: I see this this kind of stuff late in the season.
Speaker 1: I kind of think that this is just like injury
Speaker 1: management stuff where they want to keep these guys healthy
Speaker 1: enough to play on Sunday. Obviously they're not, they're not
Speaker 1: playing anything. But Kyle Pitts is playing for a contract
Speaker 1: next year too, so we got to keep that in
Speaker 1: mind as being forward. Let's see what else do we
Speaker 1: have here. Brent Studebaker chiming in on Facebook. I think
Speaker 1: Atlanta is going to let London play and try to
Speaker 1: win to ensure the Rams get a worse draft pick
Speaker 1: since they traded away. There's certainly that that possibility as well.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you just in general, and you
Speaker 1: can open this up, Chris, to all your teams, but
Speaker 1: I think specifically what everybody wants to know about. Is
Speaker 1: this team that's in fourth place in the main event,
Speaker 1: the toughest lineup decision you're facing this week, maybe something
Speaker 1: you've gone back and forth on. I personally like to
Speaker 1: wait as late and as possible in the week to
Speaker 1: make my lineup decision, so I'm not thinking long and
Speaker 1: thinking wrong. Is I always like to tell Ferrell by analysis,
Speaker 1: I want to make that decision at the very end
Speaker 1: of the week. A lot of people are not like that,
Speaker 1: though they like to analyze it throughout the week. Have
Speaker 1: you been hemming and hawing about any of your lineup
Speaker 1: decisions so far in any of your leagues in going
Speaker 1: into Week sixteen?
Speaker 6: Serve well, specifically in this one. At the beginning of
Speaker 6: the week, I try not to get in my head
Speaker 6: too much about it, and I decided I'm just going
Speaker 6: to try to dance with the players that got me here.
Speaker 6: But I do have an issue because we got Swift
Speaker 6: not really knowing where we're going to stand in tomorrow's game,
Speaker 6: and looking at my bench, I don't love the matchups
Speaker 6: for a lot of the guys I have on my bench,
Speaker 6: and so there's a strong possibility that if Swift goes
Speaker 6: out in my in one of my flex spots, I'm
Speaker 6: going to have to put THEO Johnson, which you know
Speaker 6: my thought is his ftat line is not going to
Speaker 6: be great. He's probably gonna get four for forty, hopefully
Speaker 6: a touchdown. But I almost almost value that a little
Speaker 6: bit higher than I than I do with the matchups
Speaker 6: that I have with Jerry Judy and Deebo Samuel other
Speaker 6: guys on my bench.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Stephen G is not here Balky in
Speaker 2: the chat room tonight. If he were, he just might not, Oh,
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying, Well, he would. He would
Speaker 2: be telling he would be telling Chris not to worry
Speaker 2: about the THEO Johnson. And by the way, point of order,
Speaker 2: I I accuse Stephen G of playing favorites and saying
Speaker 2: he only listened to other podcasts, and he corrected me.
Speaker 2: He told me he didn't listen to our podcast, Balky.
Speaker 2: He told me he watched watched, you know, once again
Speaker 2: guests and guest on this show regularly proving they're sharper
Speaker 2: than me. Go ahead, Chris, you'll continue that tand go.
Speaker 1: Ahead, Chris, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: I have one other like what I would call major
Speaker 6: dilemma on my other team that is quickly approaching the
Speaker 6: top one hundred, and that dilemma is on the receiver side.
Speaker 6: I've got got to play two of these three. One
Speaker 6: is Wattle, one is DJ Moore, and one is Metcalf.
Speaker 6: So that is a two of two of the best
Speaker 6: of those three, and just Wattle is going to scare
Speaker 6: the crap out of me this week with his quarterback situation.
Speaker 6: So I'm starting to lean towards Metcalf and DJ Moore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's the way i'd go.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Let's let's get to the Quinn
Speaker 1: yours question right now since since we're talking about it,
Speaker 1: because I think that's where where where I think that
Speaker 1: the crux of this argum between these three receivers falls.
Speaker 1: Metcalf is in Detroit and Metcalf and I've heard God
Speaker 1: John Hansen on the Fantasy Points podcast two of the
Speaker 1: greatest names I've heard for DK Metcalf this year so far,
Speaker 1: Decoy Metcalf is one. And then I've also heard, Okay
Speaker 1: metcalf is another one for Metcalf this year. But he
Speaker 1: I mean, he's flashed and he gets a game this
Speaker 1: week in Detroit should be a negative game script for Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Fifty two and a half is the total and the
Speaker 1: Steelers are seven point dogs. This is like what we
Speaker 1: live for here. Really really difficult for me to say, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you need to sit in Metcalf in that situ. You
Speaker 1: got to get Metcalf in the lineup right, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm going with Metcalf. So Who's who? And
Speaker 1: DJ Moore at home? Now, let's talk about DJ Moore here. Okay,
Speaker 1: more is playing tomorrow at home against the Micah parsonless Packers.
Speaker 1: I think Micah Parsons has covered for a substandard green
Speaker 1: Bay cornerback room that I think could be exposed by
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams on Saturday unless Jeff Hafley, the defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: for Green Bay, starts pulling rabbits out of a hat,
Speaker 1: which I think the guy's brilliant, so there's a very
Speaker 1: real possibility he does. But unless he pulls rabbits out
Speaker 1: of his hat, as far as exotic stunts and blitzes,
Speaker 1: I think that Caleb Williams is gonna have a pretty
Speaker 1: good game. And if Williams has a good game, I
Speaker 1: think DJ Moore is a significant part of that. You
Speaker 1: look at that gate, excuse me, forty six and a
Speaker 1: half points is the total on that game, which is
Speaker 1: not a small total between two of the Black and
Speaker 1: Blue Norris Division cohorts here. So I like DJ Moore
Speaker 1: quite a bit in this game as well, which leads
Speaker 1: me to Jalen Waddle for the Dolphins, who is catching
Speaker 1: passes from one Quinn Yours, a seventh round pick this
Speaker 1: past year, in his first start all season. He wasn't
Speaker 1: even the backup last week, guys, he was the third string.
Speaker 1: He has gone from third string to first string, the
Speaker 1: outhouse to the penthouse this week, and now he's gonna
Speaker 1: be throwing passes to Devon ah Chan, to Darren Waller
Speaker 1: and to one Jayalen Waddle. Wattle has struggled, I would say,
Speaker 1: over the last month, even with Tongue bailoa. And now
Speaker 1: you look at the situation that you have, Chris, where
Speaker 1: you can play more and you can play Metcalf, and
Speaker 1: it's just at the expense of sitting Jalen Waddle. I
Speaker 1: know where I stand on this. I'd be able to
Speaker 1: get Waddle into my starting lineup. Chris, Before you weigh
Speaker 1: in on this, Farrell. Let me know if my reasoning
Speaker 1: is flawed here.
Speaker 2: I think it's most brilliant segue you've had the whole
Speaker 2: season book. And I will tell you this, don't fear
Speaker 2: playing Waddle, but against these two players. He's not even
Speaker 2: in the conversation. But if you're if you're sitting with
Speaker 2: Wattle in like Khalil Shakir, you might as well go
Speaker 2: ahead with Waddle. If you're gonna if you're gonna have
Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback, he's gonna target one guy. He's gonna
Speaker 2: lock in on him, especially when there's not a dominant
Speaker 2: tight end. And Waller has looked great lately, but that
Speaker 2: was with Tua, and I don't call him a dominant
Speaker 2: tight end in this passing attack. So I'm not scared
Speaker 2: of Waddle. But the other two players, especially in the
Speaker 2: pristine way that you described their upcoming week's activity, it's
Speaker 2: it's an easy choice if I.
Speaker 1: If I was to present the counter argument here, Jimmy
Speaker 1: Williams does a pretty good job of it. Miami has
Speaker 1: a plus matchup with a kid at quarterback with nothing
Speaker 1: to lose but plenty to win. Jalen Wattle, Devon ah
Speaker 1: Chan and Darren Waller have a right to be relevant.
Speaker 1: Start Jayalen waddle And I will say this, the Dolphins
Speaker 1: are hosting the Cincinnati Bengals. At least I have said
Speaker 1: on this podcast all season long, start your players against
Speaker 1: the Bengals. I don't think that's breaking news or hot
Speaker 1: take or going out on a limb. So there is
Speaker 1: something to be said for that. Forty seven and a
Speaker 1: half is the total in that game, and the Dolphins
Speaker 1: are four and a half point underdogs, So there is
Speaker 1: that to be said about Jalen Waddell. But I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you where I stand on it, and I'm still
Speaker 1: going more in Metcalf here. Apologies to you, Jimmy Williams.
Speaker 2: And there's a lot to be said, Jimmy Williams. There's
Speaker 2: a lot to be said. This is this is why
Speaker 2: you're in four place. These are the kind of decisions
Speaker 2: you have to make. It's true, I want to spin
Speaker 2: gold or silver, well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the the other thing I want to get to
Speaker 1: and I think we talked about this with Joel Durrance
Speaker 1: last week, Pharaoh about the Dalton Schultz playes. We did
Speaker 1: gets the Raiders at home this week and you know,
Speaker 1: you look at this game, I think that there's on
Speaker 1: the surface, this looks like, you know, it's like you
Speaker 1: go to a steakhouse or whatever and they serve you
Speaker 1: the steak and that porterhouse looks looks so good and
Speaker 1: you're ready to rip into it. It's gonna be delicious,
Speaker 1: and then you kind of look at it a little
Speaker 1: bit closer and you cut into it and you're like, God,
Speaker 1: this this isn't the greatest piece of meat I've ever had.
Speaker 1: It's a little tough, it's a little chewy, and I
Speaker 1: think that's what Dalton Schultz is this week. This Raiders
Speaker 1: matchup looks awesome. Oh my god, Houston gets the Raiders
Speaker 1: at home. Sign me up. I'm gonna start Nico Collins.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start you know, Woody Mark or Jawar Jordan
Speaker 1: if he's not available. C J. Stroud's gonna be my
Speaker 1: starting line. Obviously, I'm gonna place Dalton Schultz in tight
Speaker 1: end premium leagues. But the total on this game is
Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half and the Texans are fourteen
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. Is there something to be
Speaker 1: said here, Chris about Dalton Schultz maybe having like a
Speaker 1: two for twenty showing with the Texans still winning by
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, you know, with a score of like, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty eight to seven or something like that in this game.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think if we look, if we
Speaker 1: dive a little bit deeper into this, there's some warts
Speaker 1: here and this does not seem to be or maybe
Speaker 1: it is, I don't know, this golden shiny play here
Speaker 1: for Schultz this week? How do you weigh in on
Speaker 1: Schultz against the Raiders.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's an interesting conundrum because Las Vegas is season long,
Speaker 6: they're like six against six best against tight ends, but
Speaker 6: really the last five weeks they've kind of come to
Speaker 6: the middle of the pack and they're more like twenty
Speaker 6: against tight ends. The last five weeks or so, Schultz
Speaker 6: has just not had a week with less than four
Speaker 6: targets a lot of weeks eight nine targets, and so
Speaker 6: it feels like you can't take the chance of not
Speaker 6: starting him. You have to do it.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 6: You're not going to get a massive week like he
Speaker 6: just had, but I think that you're going to get
Speaker 6: a solid week of what you would expect out of them.
Speaker 2: What Chris is saying as a guest to this program, Bulky,
Speaker 2: is when you think long, you think wrong. And when
Speaker 2: you in reference to this program, when.
Speaker 1: You talk long, you talk wrong.
Speaker 2: And you're dealing with a damn guy here that did
Speaker 2: nine targets last week. You're dealing with a football team
Speaker 2: that's trying to get on a roll and keep on
Speaker 2: a roll to be a playoff football team. Did they
Speaker 2: have that chance, Bulky? Do they have a record to
Speaker 2: get in there? Yes? Yeah, yeah, I think they're doing okay,
Speaker 2: they're doing better than some. So what I'm saying is, well,
Speaker 2: you're in a situation. This guy had nine targets last week,
Speaker 2: eight catches. We said last week, maybe against these teams
Speaker 2: coming up, that he would approach eighty catches. And what
Speaker 2: Chris wouldn't tell you, but what I will is he
Speaker 2: found the end zone last week and he might just
Speaker 2: get on a roll with the end zone. And I
Speaker 2: don't understand. You know, they thirty seven in the game.
Speaker 2: They got thirty four for Houston and three for the Raiders.
Speaker 2: You know, so there you go. But my concern is this,
Speaker 2: and don't live in fear ballgame. Do not be concerned?
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so so Schultz, I think it is in FFPC.
Speaker 1: You really got to find a way to get him
Speaker 1: in your line. But I look at week fourteen, three
Speaker 1: for twenty two. I look at week twelve, one for eight.
Speaker 1: I look at week eight two for twenty four. Those
Speaker 1: are the things that you're kind of balancing out with,
Speaker 1: right because he's had I mean so two for twenty
Speaker 1: four and week eight. But think look at some of
Speaker 1: these games he's had since then, six for seventy seven,
Speaker 1: seven for fifty three in a touchdown, six for fifty one,
Speaker 1: seven for fifty five. Farrell just alluded to it, eight
Speaker 1: for seventy six and a touchdown last week. So I
Speaker 1: think if you're playing the odds, then yeah, this should
Speaker 1: be a this should be Dalton Schultz week. But as
Speaker 1: I as I always tell my wife, I am ready
Speaker 1: to be hurt again. So almost see what happens with
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz this week. Farrell, I'm gonna I'm gonna ad
Speaker 1: Chris about Khalil Shakir.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: Cleveland is the opponent for the Buffalo Bills this week,
Speaker 1: and you are looking at a guy in Khalil Shakir
Speaker 1: that is I mean, I think we said this before.
Speaker 1: I mean, Farrell, you can correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I think we said this before the start of the season.
Speaker 1: This guy was never going to be the game breaking
Speaker 1: Spike Week guy that was ever going to give you
Speaker 1: eight for one hundred and seventy and three touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Right, it's just talking about shak Shakira. Yeah. I liked
Speaker 2: him better. I liked him a lot better than you did.
Speaker 2: And I thought his stats would be I thought he
Speaker 2: would be more dependent totally.
Speaker 1: And that's that's and that's what how I would describing here.
Speaker 1: Five for sixty five, eight for one hundred and ten,
Speaker 1: seven for fifty fifty eight, seven for forty three, six
Speaker 1: for eighty eight, six for forty five, five for sixty nine,
Speaker 1: six for sixty four. That's been mostly what he's been
Speaker 1: doing this season now. Prior to this New England game
Speaker 1: this past week, he did have a two for sixteen
Speaker 1: and a one for five performance against the Bengals and Steelers, respectively.
Speaker 1: Two sixteen against the Bengals. For God's sake, Cleveland has
Speaker 1: shown that they are not maybe the dominant defense that
Speaker 1: we thought they were in the first two thirds of
Speaker 1: the season here, Chris, and so maybe they can be
Speaker 1: gotten here in Week sixteen, The problem is, at least
Speaker 1: in my opinion, Shakiro does not separate himself from a
Speaker 1: lot of these other pass catchers in Buffalo Dalton K
Speaker 1: and K got in a full practice today. I don't
Speaker 1: believe he's on the injury report, so he's gonna go.
Speaker 1: You still got to deal with Dawson Knox, Kean Coleman
Speaker 1: is still there for whatever that's worth it. You know,
Speaker 1: there are other players on this offense that Josh Allen
Speaker 1: just seems to be spreading the ball around to. And
Speaker 1: I think like as far again, as far as a
Speaker 1: high floor play, Yeah, sure, Shakier makes sense. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's necessarily what you want in week sixteen,
Speaker 1: the middle part of the championship round, and now you
Speaker 1: get the Browns defense. Chris, what kind of production are
Speaker 1: you guessing that we get from Shakir this weekend?
Speaker 6: A lot of acting, a whole lot. I don't think
Speaker 6: the ceiling is very tall at all. I think it
Speaker 6: kind of runs in somewhere in the numbers that you
Speaker 6: were saying where he could go five for fifty. But
Speaker 6: Cleveland in the last few weeks has actually been pretty
Speaker 6: good against the wide receiver position, and so I'm expecting
Speaker 6: a lot of Knox and Kinkaid to come into play
Speaker 6: check here. You know, it might be less than a
Speaker 6: five for fifty, it might be a you know, a
Speaker 6: three for twenty five. So that's I don't I don't
Speaker 6: like it at all. And I think it's a I
Speaker 6: think it's a good week for the tight ends there.
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns play a very physical defense. He is I
Speaker 2: have been told that the problem that he has in
Speaker 2: games when he disappears is he has a difficult time
Speaker 2: getting a release in press coverage. And so with that
Speaker 2: in mind, uh, he's going to get some of that
Speaker 2: this week. And that's why you know, Adam Han's right,
Speaker 2: it is the It is the Allen Cook Show in Buffalo.
Speaker 1: We touched on did we touched on DJ Moore? Right, Chris, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would like to.
Speaker 2: I'd like to talk a little bit different about DJA.
Speaker 2: There are some people that are there's a lot of
Speaker 2: people maybe that you know, we watched the Stack last night,
Speaker 2: go off there with the Rams. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: people that I think have some interest in these varied
Speaker 2: Chicago receivers. So there's a couple of them on the shelf.
Speaker 2: Right Burden and your your thoughts on that aspect alone,
Speaker 2: because we were comparing DJ Moore against other couple receivers
Speaker 2: and as well just DJ Moore number one target for
Speaker 2: the quarterback this weekend?
Speaker 1: Here are you is DJ Moore?
Speaker 2: In that respect, If you're involved with Chicago, you're you're
Speaker 2: involved with DJ Moore, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's a It's interesting for me because
Speaker 6: if I go back to the beginning of the season
Speaker 6: and when I was researching and looking at last year,
Speaker 6: I made a mistake in a lot of my best
Speaker 6: ball plays and in a lot of the drafts in
Speaker 6: the FFPC because I went heavy on DJ Moore for
Speaker 6: over a donze and so I paid the price on
Speaker 6: that for sure. But this is his chance. So you know,
Speaker 6: last week, even though he was clearly going to be
Speaker 6: number one, it wasn't an outstanding week, But he was
Speaker 6: also playing a tougher defense than he is this week.
Speaker 6: This week, as we just kind of discussed, they're going
Speaker 6: to be a little bit more susceptible. So I see
Speaker 6: a little bit better production from DJ Moore, and I
Speaker 6: think it's I think it's his time. I think I'm
Speaker 6: finally going to get paid off or the mistakes I
Speaker 6: made early.
Speaker 2: Chris is doubling down in our message. Bulky. You throw
Speaker 2: that up there from Jimmy Williams who plays here in Kentucky,
Speaker 2: and I will tell you that his team name is
Speaker 2: Cubs and Bears. Yeah, but Jimmy has to say about it.
Speaker 2: It's something I think you can pay attention to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's Uh. He's telling us right now that
Speaker 1: DJ Moore should have a good game Loveland probably the
Speaker 1: big slot this week in twelve personnel. Good game for
Speaker 1: both uh, and we'll see what happens. Uh With with that,
Speaker 1: I'm I think he's right.
Speaker 2: I think more.
Speaker 1: I don't think more, you know, to borrow a a
Speaker 1: Matthew Berry phrase. I don't think he blows the roof
Speaker 1: off the doors, but I do. I think he's pretty good.
Speaker 1: And Loveland is a guy that I think is very
Speaker 1: intriguing for FFPC tight end premium formats. I like him
Speaker 1: quite a bit this week as well. Adam Han saying
Speaker 1: basically the same thing. Obvious top target is DJ Moore tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but don't sleep on Loveland.
Speaker 2: He knows that because he got some extra sleep last
Speaker 2: night in the four we were all watching.
Speaker 1: He's coming in with stuff, Tom Smith. Every time I
Speaker 1: played DJ Moore against points and More, he goes off
Speaker 1: for twenty five points. That is that is the DJ
Speaker 1: the Djay. That's why you got to quit draft in
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, you know you, I mean, don't even don't
Speaker 1: even give him the opportunity to break your heart. Right,
Speaker 1: It's it's like it's it's like, listen, if I never
Speaker 1: asked out the hot cheerleader, she can't turn me down, right, right?
Speaker 1: If you don't draft DJ Moore, he can't disappoint you,
Speaker 1: although you make it all the way for a million
Speaker 1: bucks and DJ Moore ends up winning it over you
Speaker 1: because of the performance he has. Okay, what do I
Speaker 1: want to get to here next? I wanted to get
Speaker 1: to emails? Oh, just real quick. You you touched on
Speaker 1: THEO Johnson earlier, Chris, and you seem to be kind
Speaker 1: of bearish on his what his deadline's going to look
Speaker 1: like against Minnesota? Doesn't sound like you want to play him.
Speaker 1: But if you do have to play him against the
Speaker 1: Vikings this week, what do you think he ends up
Speaker 1: with as far as stats goes this weekend.
Speaker 6: Feeling a sort of average four for forty kind of
Speaker 6: week you know, I'm not Minnesota's not scary against the
Speaker 6: tight end by any means, but they're not really giving
Speaker 6: up touchdowns to tight ends either, So I'm just kind
Speaker 6: of kind of middle of the road on him, and
Speaker 6: you know, he's sort of my emergency if I need him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what he did, actually, Chris was being honest with
Speaker 2: his bulky. After your adult and Shultz shut down, he
Speaker 2: immediately we can't see his hands if you noticed that,
Speaker 2: he immediately went in and changed the lineup, putting right
Speaker 2: putting THEO up for shoals.
Speaker 1: You know, I can verify right now, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: Chris's lineup.
Speaker 2: THEO Johnson remains on the bench, and we're still looking
Speaker 2: at Kyle Kyle Pitts and DeAndre Swift and Rico dowdle
Speaker 2: tight end in flex situation right now on that. So there,
Speaker 2: you know, I've got those same players. Why they hell
Speaker 2: them on thewhere nearl Force? What's going on?
Speaker 1: Run Pure? Did you have Kyle Pitts with them?
Speaker 2: Pharrell?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and I don't know, but I.
Speaker 6: Had Ellen and Cook to run me through the whole season.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I've heard guys.
Speaker 1: I will say, Farrel if you have the same players
Speaker 1: as Chris, and it's not working out for you, and
Speaker 1: you don't know why. It probably has something to do
Speaker 1: with the player whose name may or may not rhyme
Speaker 1: with Schmichael Littman. That that'd be my guess. That would
Speaker 1: be my guest. Too much Dalton too much Dalton Schultz
Speaker 1: could be a possibility as well. You know, we're getting
Speaker 1: some questions in the chat, Chris, I'll throw up the
Speaker 1: latest one. I meant to do this earlier, and maybe
Speaker 1: it was Tom who asked me about Jayden Reid earlier?
Speaker 1: But is Jayden Reid worth a flex spot tomorrow against
Speaker 1: the Bears? I have some thoughts on this, but Chris,
Speaker 1: I'll let you weigh in on this. How strong of
Speaker 1: a flex play in the FFPC is Jayden Reid at
Speaker 1: the Bears on Saturday?
Speaker 6: I think it's a little risky, but it's not horrible.
Speaker 6: What's the latest status on Watson?
Speaker 2: Is there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What Watson got in limited practices?
Speaker 2: This?
Speaker 1: I believe it was limited practice. He's officially listed as questionable.
Speaker 1: The beat reporters in Green Bay seem to believe that
Speaker 1: he is going to give it a go tomorrow, that
Speaker 1: he is going to play.
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, I mean, if all things that we've been
Speaker 6: discussing about that that game in particular, and the fact
Speaker 6: that greens Green Bay's defense has slid, we're gonna see
Speaker 6: some points and I think they're gonna have to air
Speaker 6: it out to kind of keep up with Chicago in
Speaker 6: that regard. So it's not a bad play, really good,
Speaker 6: good ceiling potential.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on this, Chris. And I'll say
Speaker 1: this and people who listen to a lot of podcasts
Speaker 1: other than this one, which why would you? But I
Speaker 1: get it, I do it. The Bears, I believe are
Speaker 1: the worst team. I gotta phrase this the right way.
Speaker 1: They are the worst team in the NFL in defending
Speaker 1: the slot as far as fantasy performance goes. In other words,
Speaker 1: if you have a slot player going up against the Bears,
Speaker 1: that is the best possible defensive matchup you could hope for.
Speaker 1: And read almost exclusively plays in the slot, so he
Speaker 1: will be flexed out in all my KFFFC leagues. I
Speaker 1: think he should be flexed out in the FFPC as well.
Speaker 1: To Chris's point, I'm not expecting, you know, ten for
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty and two touchdowns, but I am
Speaker 1: expecting somewhere between eighty and ninety yards. I am expecting
Speaker 1: between six and eight catches tomorrow. So I do think
Speaker 1: Reid has a good game. Well, it sounds like a
Speaker 1: guy you play both. Yes, that's what I'm saying. I'd
Speaker 1: be playing him and then and then obviously if he
Speaker 1: gets in the end zone, that's even amplified that much more.
Speaker 1: Tom also saying Jacobs may not play. Yes, he did
Speaker 1: not practice all week, but this dude's a warrior. I
Speaker 1: believe the Packers know that they cannot afford to have
Speaker 1: him miss this game. And what's the easiest way to
Speaker 1: keep him fresh. Hey, let's not practice him all week.
Speaker 1: So I do believe he goes tomorrow, but I will
Speaker 1: not be surprised if it's Emmanual will and starting that
Speaker 1: game on Saturday. With the Packers having another Saturday game
Speaker 1: next week at home against the Ravens, I think he plays,
Speaker 1: but I do remain open to the possibility that he doesn't.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to emails here, I think I
Speaker 1: want to do. Yes, let's do emails. This first one's
Speaker 1: from Steve in Canby, Oregon, good old Canby. He wants
Speaker 1: to know, Hey, Chris, what do you think Travis Kelcey
Speaker 1: does over the next three weeks with the Chiefs? That's
Speaker 1: nothing that is Steve and canby Oregon obviously Kelsey and
Speaker 1: by the way, Steve, we appreciate the email, Chris. This
Speaker 1: is interesting because for the first time since like I
Speaker 1: don't know, Abraham Lincoln was president, the Chiefs are not
Speaker 1: making the playoffs, which is insane. And it's week sixteen,
Speaker 1: it's not even like the final week of the season.
Speaker 1: How nervous would you be about deploying Travis Kelcey in
Speaker 1: tight end premium leagues, not only with the Chiefs not
Speaker 1: playing for anything, but with Patrick Mahomes on the shelf
Speaker 1: and Gardner Minshew throwing to it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a lot of different ways to look at this,
Speaker 6: and the first one is if you listen to him
Speaker 6: what he's what he's saying, you know, then you've got
Speaker 6: to believe he's going to be playing hard. They're going
Speaker 6: to be playing hard. You know, he's saying all the
Speaker 6: right things that you know, the fans expect us to
Speaker 6: come out and perform regardless of where we stand on
Speaker 6: the season. That being said, there's got to be an
Speaker 6: emotional level withinside all of these players that they have
Speaker 6: not experienced in the last ten years. The letdown that's
Speaker 6: going to maybe affect just really how hard they do
Speaker 6: come out the next three weeks. And so I think
Speaker 6: it's it's a tough conundrum, but I think having Minshew
Speaker 6: actually helps because when you got somebody like Minshew in there,
Speaker 6: he's he's going to be looking to throw a little
Speaker 6: bit more underneath as opposed to downfield. I think, you know,
Speaker 6: just safety plays here and there, so you know, catching
Speaker 6: a ten fifteen yard ball. Kelsey he might do that
Speaker 6: before times the game.
Speaker 2: So I think the quarterback looks for Kelsey. I think
Speaker 2: those two have a close relationship. I think those two
Speaker 2: I think Kelsey wants the best successful as again in
Speaker 2: this role, and you got it.
Speaker 1: You guys got it right.
Speaker 2: There's some places maybe that it doesn't matter as much,
Speaker 2: but to a Kansas City chief fan, you got to
Speaker 2: show up, you got to play. You know, this is
Speaker 2: the family business in Kansas City. They talk about to
Speaker 2: talk about the Jones family owning the Dallas Cowboys. They
Speaker 2: don't talk as much about the Hunt family owning Kansas
Speaker 2: City Chiefs, but it's a bigger dynasty. And it's you know,
Speaker 2: that's the culture that they have there. I expect when
Speaker 2: to come out and play it. I wouldn't be scared
Speaker 2: to start Kelsey.
Speaker 1: You know, Kelsey to me. And Matt Schelf was talking
Speaker 1: about this on the Draft Sharks podcast earlier this week,
Speaker 1: and he said Kelsey doesn't strike him as the type
Speaker 1: of player that just mails it in like he's a problem.
Speaker 1: He's he's in popular culture, obviously, and Rotal World actually
Speaker 1: pointed this out. I don't know if I didn't realize
Speaker 1: this guy's but he would need, over his last three
Speaker 1: weeks two hundred and three receiving yards to become the
Speaker 1: oldest tight end in NFL history to record a thousand
Speaker 1: yard season.
Speaker 2: So I'm sure that's what he wants to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm sure that a very reason. You know,
Speaker 1: like you know, now right now is the time to
Speaker 1: be selfish, right, I mean, win a Super Bowl this year,
Speaker 1: go out there, get what you can. These could be
Speaker 1: the final three games of your career.
Speaker 2: It's number eighty three, the tight end on Kansas City's
Speaker 2: all right, I think we've all seen enough. No one, Hey,
Speaker 2: you know, Dom's got a question about Titian, said brother
Speaker 2: Terrell might be able to help. Yeah, somewhere our names rhyme.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to.
Speaker 2: Do this right now.
Speaker 1: Dom Gazzetti, former guest of This show, guest co host
Speaker 1: of the show. God, why can I not find it here?
Speaker 2: Well, he's asking, he's asking about the Fannin.
Speaker 1: Oh, here it is. Yeah, I got it right here.
Speaker 1: So he wants to know Harold Fannin against the Bills
Speaker 1: this week or Jalen Wattle in his lineup, which we've
Speaker 1: talked a lot about Wattle. But I mean, like, let's
Speaker 1: say non tight end premium here, Let's say kf fs C.
Speaker 2: Why would anyone want to Oh, I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, kf f C is why. So, if you are
Speaker 1: facing this conundrum, would you rather play fan In or Waddle?
Speaker 1: I'll reveal how I feel about this. I'll let you
Speaker 1: go first on this, Chris.
Speaker 6: I think it just goes back to the conversation we
Speaker 6: had about Wattle. I mean, I think there's actually tight
Speaker 6: ends that are further down the list than fan In
Speaker 6: this week that I would rather play than. Yeah, what
Speaker 6: we talked about.
Speaker 2: Fanon is one of my favorite players as we moved
Speaker 2: towards the end of the season.
Speaker 1: In tight end premium leagues. Obviously slam dunk. You're playing
Speaker 1: fan In. We mentioned at least I went to you
Speaker 1: talk long, you talk wrong. Hopefully I'm not doing that here.
Speaker 2: That's another thing. At once it's trying to get a
Speaker 2: cheap laugh.
Speaker 1: Well you got one for me, and the laugh was
Speaker 1: because you're probably right on this. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: just as weird as it sounds. I trust Fannin more
Speaker 1: this week than Waddle, not necessarily because of the offense,
Speaker 1: but because Shader Sanders is throwing the fan in like
Speaker 1: it's a bodily function, right, Like Fannin is getting this
Speaker 1: massive volume. And yeah, it's not the greatest passing pie
Speaker 1: in the world, but when you're having you know, seventy
Speaker 1: percent of the pie, it's it's massive. So that's that's
Speaker 1: why I'd roll with fan and over Waddle this week.
Speaker 1: So there you go. On on that. One more email
Speaker 1: do I have here? I'm looking for it. I thought
Speaker 1: I had one. Oh yeah, here it is.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So this next email, and the last email of the night,
Speaker 1: comes from Frank in Austin, Texas, and he wants to know, guys,
Speaker 1: how do you handle the Chargers running backs? If Quinn
Speaker 1: Williams does not play for the Cowboys in week sixteen.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. We appreci at the email Frank
Speaker 1: in Austin. Quinn Williams, The latest I saw on him
Speaker 1: is that he is being listed as questionable with a concussion.
Speaker 1: It is a full practice for Quinn and Williams today,
Speaker 1: which is good. But apparently he's still in the protocol.
Speaker 1: So that's one of the peppers in the gumbo we
Speaker 1: have to figure out here, Chris, will Quinn Williams play.
Speaker 1: And then number two, how much is Kamani and Vidal
Speaker 1: eating into Omari and Hampton's workload? Where these guys might
Speaker 1: be both be better off on benches this week until
Speaker 1: one guy steps forward, or do you take a chance
Speaker 1: with one of them? I don't know, Chris. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you handle this one here. With the Quinn Williams
Speaker 1: situation in Dallas and the time share that's going on
Speaker 1: in the Chargers backfield as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm unfazed by Quinn Williams situation when it comes
Speaker 6: to those running backs. I'm more concerned about what you
Speaker 6: were saying and the time share situation because they're playing
Speaker 6: the long game here for the playoffs. And they don't want,
Speaker 6: you know, to bring Hampton out and really get him
Speaker 6: hurt again. I think they're going to spell him a
Speaker 6: lot with a doll and I think you're going to
Speaker 6: see a healthy share of both of those guys just
Speaker 6: because they want to. They want to be ready for
Speaker 6: the playoffs. They want they want Amari and Hampton to
Speaker 6: be what he can be when it comes time to
Speaker 6: win in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the way Hampton's running. You get yeah, Hampton, Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Farrell, I'm frush out of emails. It's on you
Speaker 7: for the final question, buddy. You got to hit it
Speaker 7: and you got to hit it strong. And I think
Speaker 7: with your skill and style, it's going to be easy
Speaker 7: for you. But you know, you're going to have to
Speaker 7: tell our guys who they should play. It's written up.
Speaker 2: It's written up in the lingo that says a player
Speaker 2: that that fantasy owners count on, that will not show
Speaker 2: up for him this weekend. And then you got to
Speaker 2: come with a sleeper. You got to come with that
Speaker 2: guy that's going to really put up a twenty plus,
Speaker 2: maybe at thirty plus, maybe just break loose and flirt
Speaker 2: with forty. That kind of situation. Last week, you could
Speaker 2: have picked a ball for more defense. What a sleeper
Speaker 2: that would have been, you know that would how great
Speaker 2: that would have You can you know, you can pick
Speaker 2: a kicker if you think he's going to have more
Speaker 2: than myers if you want, you know, we'll let you
Speaker 2: get away with that. But give us a guy that's
Speaker 2: a sleeper, give us a guy that you're normally putting
Speaker 2: in that lineup, but you'd better watch out and not
Speaker 2: do it this week. And you can't use anybody we've
Speaker 2: talked about before because that would be redundant.
Speaker 6: Well, they they stole my thunder earlier on a sleeper
Speaker 6: when they started talking about Lovelin, And he's not necessary
Speaker 6: a sleeper because he's probably ranked around ten for tight
Speaker 6: ends this week. But you know, on a normal situation,
Speaker 6: normal week, you know, it's not somebody where you're going
Speaker 6: to say, this guy can get me twenty five this week.
Speaker 6: But I think this is the week that he can't
Speaker 6: get you the twenty five. But that would be my
Speaker 6: sleeper pick for the week. And then on your other question.
Speaker 2: On who you going to bench.
Speaker 6: So this is a tough one. It's just gotten really
Speaker 6: muddled in Tampa Bay when it comes to the receivers,
Speaker 6: and so this is a tough one to say.
Speaker 2: But I think it's going to say it. He's going
Speaker 2: to say it.
Speaker 6: Guka needs to get on the bench.
Speaker 2: Wow, I knew it. It's it's impressive.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's it's just it's a it's a little bit.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm so glad that you know, all their
Speaker 6: receivers are healthy again, They've got such a great receiver corps.
Speaker 6: But his target share is just drop and dropping, and
Speaker 6: and I think that that's you know, it's just not
Speaker 6: going to be his week and he's not going to
Speaker 6: finish the season strong.
Speaker 1: I I this is why I host the show and
Speaker 1: I don't offer advice because we have people with real
Speaker 1: skin in the game that are stronger men than me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I know, and Mecca Buka should probably be sat this week.
Speaker 2: I know that you can't do it.
Speaker 1: No, I'm too weak of a man, jello infused man
Speaker 1: that has no backbone. I can't do it, even though
Speaker 1: I think it's the right call. Chris, you can do it. Yeah, yeah, no, Okay,
Speaker 1: that I will do I would do that this week,
Speaker 1: but that might be my packers. Homer, Green and Gold
Speaker 1: glasses showing up, so I don't know. Former guest of
Speaker 1: the show, Paul ta Sera is hanging out watching us
Speaker 1: on you.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 1: He has to sit two of these guys. I threw
Speaker 1: it up on the screen. Obviously. This is FFPC tight
Speaker 1: End Premium bench. Two of these guys, Justin Jefferson, Tete Rohan, McMillan,
Speaker 1: T Higgins, Marvin Harrison, junr Harold Fannin, Colston Lovelin, and
Speaker 1: Juwan Johnson. Now this is a man who is still
Speaker 1: in contention because this is a very tough call this week.
Speaker 1: He's got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven guys.
Speaker 1: He's got to play five of them guys. I'll throw
Speaker 1: this out well, Chris, I'll throw this out to you first.
Speaker 1: Is there anybody at first glance you're like, okay, well
Speaker 1: that guy is an easy sit. Is there anybody that
Speaker 1: stands out to you there?
Speaker 6: Harrison is the easy sit. I believe, just coming back
Speaker 6: from the injury might not be a full strength. I mean,
Speaker 6: that's that's the one that reaches out to me. Now
Speaker 6: most people may want to say Jefferson. I'm actually pretty
Speaker 6: bullish on Jefferson this week. I think he's He's actually
Speaker 6: going to get the ball and score this week. It's
Speaker 6: going to happen.
Speaker 1: He has been so close. He had a touchdown last
Speaker 1: week that got called back, and I believe, and I
Speaker 1: could be wrong in this, I think he's had two
Speaker 1: touchdowns called back over the last four or five weeks,
Speaker 1: something like that, something crazy, but I know he got
Speaker 1: one called back this past week. Adam is pointing out here.
Speaker 1: T Higgins is questionable. I believe he is still in
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol right now, but he did he get
Speaker 1: a full practice in today. I don't even know if
Speaker 1: he did, but I think he got at least a
Speaker 1: limited practice and we'll find out more on that. So maybe, honestly, guys,
Speaker 1: here the easy sits are as. I'll throw it back
Speaker 1: up here. The easy sits might be Marvin Harrison Junior
Speaker 1: and T Higgins, especially if he doesn't play. It's it's well, okay,
Speaker 1: if Pharaoh, if we were to rank these tight ends,
Speaker 1: how would you rank them between Fannin, Lovelan and Juwan
Speaker 1: Johnson this week? A fan in against the Bills, Loveland
Speaker 1: against the Packers, and then Juwan Johnson, who's been like captain.
Speaker 1: Low ceiling, high floor, every single week, it's the Jets
Speaker 1: this week, how would you rank those three tight ends?
Speaker 2: Fannin Johnson loved him.
Speaker 1: Fan and Johnson? Is that the way you'd have him
Speaker 1: to Chris it is?
Speaker 6: Yeah, especially with them out, I think Johnston is going
Speaker 6: to get a good target share this week.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I okay. So to answer Paul's question, here
Speaker 1: we're sitting Harrison. Let's assume T. Higgins is active just
Speaker 1: for the purposes of this conversation, because if he's inactive,
Speaker 1: you sit Higgins. We're still sitting Harrison. Who's the other
Speaker 1: guy we sit this week? Then if if we're playing,
Speaker 1: if if Higgins is active and we're sitting Harrison, who's
Speaker 1: the other guy that we sit here out of the seven.
Speaker 1: Adam Han, by the way, is chiming in saying it's
Speaker 1: Higgins and Harrison even if Higgins is active.
Speaker 8: I don't know if we'll go that far, but let's
Speaker 8: gonna do that, Okay, I mean yeah, I'm gonna have
Speaker 8: to say love one is the other just you know,
Speaker 8: he was my sleeper pick, but my sleeper pick is
Speaker 8: is you know one you expect that is not going
Speaker 8: to perform but could well.
Speaker 2: When you go three tight ends. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's no way to get your sleeper in the game.
Speaker 1: Well, and when you have this talented of a lineup right,
Speaker 1: I mean, a sleeper is a sleeper, but you have
Speaker 1: all these other guys that should be putting up points,
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit different and wedging in a
Speaker 1: sleeper there. I'm going to check to you guys on this.
Speaker 1: Even though I do like Loveland this week, I understand
Speaker 1: Comet it should probably be active as well. We could
Speaker 1: see a lot of two tight end sets and there
Speaker 1: could be a lot of pain like those Parkinson owners
Speaker 1: felt last night every time Davis Allen and Terrence Ferguson
Speaker 1: caught a pass. We could see a lot of pain.
Speaker 1: With Cole Comet being the star over Loveland. You never know,
Speaker 1: And yes, and we know it's it's tight end premium Adam,
Speaker 1: But I think the consensus that we're coming to on
Speaker 1: this show is Harrison and Loveland are the sis. Okay,
Speaker 1: this has been a pleasure having you on tonight, Chris.
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys.
Speaker 6: I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: It will be even more of a pleasure if we
Speaker 1: can get you back on in a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: or three weeks or whatever it is. If you do
Speaker 1: end up squeezing this out and getting that million dollar
Speaker 1: grand prize, it would certainly be quite the story, and
Speaker 1: you can tell it here live on the air. So
Speaker 1: until then, we hope the ball bounces your way. We
Speaker 1: wish you nothing but the best of your law, a
Speaker 1: best of luck in all of your leagues, not just
Speaker 1: this one that you're sitting fourth place overall heading into
Speaker 1: this week. Thank you so much for hopping aboard tonight.
Speaker 1: Enjoy your Friday night, Enjoy Week sixteen, and happy holidays
Speaker 1: to you and yours, my friend.
Speaker 6: Thank you, guys, I appreciate the same to you.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, thank you so much. That's Chris Darol, ladies and
Speaker 1: gentlemen hanging out with us here tonight on the High.
Speaker 2: States Fantasy Football Away. Where is Chris from.
Speaker 1: He's on the East coast. He is North Carolina guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he was dressed in the Carolina blue.
Speaker 2: Not only was he dressed in it, but the covering
Speaker 2: of the dormer window above was Carolina there there. You know,
Speaker 2: he's not too far from Kentucky. He can come over
Speaker 2: here and play. That'd be great if I'll send you
Speaker 2: an if we can get Chris there on Super.
Speaker 1: Sunday, you know, yeah, that'd be tremendous if we could
Speaker 1: pull that off. Otherwise we'll see him in August.
Speaker 2: That'd be that'd be cool too.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see Adam Han saying the packers are going
Speaker 1: down here. You could be right on that. I'm not. Uh,
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. I have low expectations in that way.
Speaker 1: I won't be disappointed.
Speaker 2: Pharaoh.
Speaker 1: What can you say to put Kelly's worries about her
Speaker 1: Tiny Tigers to rest? That's from our good buddy Dom Gazetti.
Speaker 1: I assume that's her fantasy football team. Did he share
Speaker 1: anything about this? I do not know the Tiny Tigers. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I do not know that. Tom reach out
Speaker 1: to us. We'll we'll figure that out.
Speaker 2: If there's any of them that are single, I would
Speaker 2: love to meet them, you know.
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Programming question from Jimmy Williams
Speaker 1: Show Friday after Christmas? Yes, that is the plan. We
Speaker 1: will be live at n PM next Friday with hopefully
Speaker 1: and I haven't booked the guests for the show yet,
Speaker 1: but hopefully somebody who's in the running for a million bucks,
Speaker 1: either in the Big Gorilla or the main event. Pharrell,
Speaker 1: you know this as well as Idy. You've been posting
Speaker 1: this show with me a long time. People are always
Speaker 1: very skittish to come on these airwaves this time of year.
Speaker 1: Why because they don't want to jinx themselves. They figure, oh,
Speaker 1: they won't be winning the millions, so we'll see Chris
Speaker 1: Tarrell was not.
Speaker 2: He have Chris back. The rest of them are scared.
Speaker 2: We have Chris, but you know, the tiny Tigers and
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals, Kelly, just like you, Joe has announced he
Speaker 2: is not having fun. But unlike you, he doesn't have
Speaker 2: a host like Dominic Gazetti, so you know it's Joe's indurable.
Speaker 2: You're not. So there you go?
Speaker 1: Are you? In regards to Burrow, we didn't touch on
Speaker 1: this and I'll show the starter sits tonight. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about Burrow with you. He's been kind of
Speaker 1: talking very phyllis about his career, not only in the
Speaker 1: NFL but with Cincinnati. You're a dynasty player, Farrell. I don't,
Speaker 1: I mean, do we Is there anything that glean from
Speaker 1: what he's been saying? And then when you when you
Speaker 1: compound it with his h poor performance against Baltimore last week.
Speaker 1: Anything to be concerned about in Cincinnati injury history. You know,
Speaker 1: you get tired of being hurt? Do you think that's
Speaker 1: what it is.
Speaker 2: I think that's a little bit of what it is.
Speaker 2: Result history the team m you know, he he's he's
Speaker 2: a local guy, and that sold the idea for a
Speaker 2: long time about the fact that he was there, ah
Speaker 2: and what it meant to him to be there. So
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, a mid career crisis that
Speaker 2: he can get through and get over. He he's uh,
Speaker 2: I think he'll be fine.
Speaker 1: Okay, good good to No, I'm not making any wide
Speaker 1: street sweet being changed. Like, honestly, the only guy in
Speaker 1: Cincinnati i'd be perhaps looking to move is not Chase Brown.
Speaker 1: It's actually t Higgins, and that's because of the concussion stuff.
Speaker 1: Like if if I could get ninety cents on the
Speaker 1: dollar for Higgins right now, I'd probably do that, maybe
Speaker 1: even eighty eighty five cents on the dollar. I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit nervous about what his career looks like as
Speaker 1: he enters the second half of it here. So and
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm definitely not looking I'm not looking
Speaker 1: to move him, but if somebody came to me at
Speaker 1: the right offer, I might do that. In dynasty. Here,
Speaker 1: KFFFC dot com is where to go Pharaoh. We say
Speaker 1: this every single week. KFFFC dot com is the home
Speaker 1: of the Kentucky Fantasy Football State Championship. It is the
Speaker 1: home of the Super Sunday Sweet Sixteens, of which there's
Speaker 1: a lot of red on the board. I just looked
Speaker 1: it up right now. Time is running short. Open spots
Speaker 1: are running short on some of these live events that
Speaker 1: you're gonna be having at Caesar, Southern Indiana coming up
Speaker 1: on Super Bowl Sunday weekend. I'm so excited that I'll
Speaker 1: be there for the first time this year. We also
Speaker 1: have an online one drafting February seventeenth. It is the
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen Super Sunday Sweet sixteen Rocky Blyer Division, which
Speaker 1: I was in last year and I believe I'm in
Speaker 1: this year as well, So we'll see what happens there.
Speaker 1: But people can register for that that will be online
Speaker 1: KFFFC dot com kfffc dot com, and hopefully we'll see
Speaker 1: everybody at the Super Bowl when the Packers are playing
Speaker 1: the Broncos in Caesar Southern.
Speaker 2: Well, we've only got seven spots left, and so you
Speaker 2: know two or three guys are going to take that.
Speaker 2: We've got a big payback that we can balky the
Speaker 2: four spots left. And I haven't been marketing it very
Speaker 2: aggressively because we've got some guys that I think are
Speaker 2: coming to grab those spots. But right now it's open.
Speaker 2: It's a wonderful event. Don't be scared to draft that
