00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show.

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Now here's your host. Welcome to the first offseason edition

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly for the year twenty twenty two.

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: I am Paul Charchy in my coast today, Matt Harrison, Hey, charge, Hi,

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: it's weird to change the format up, isn't it. It's

9
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: it's weird to do the show from your kitchen, Yes,

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: but I don't mind it. We've been in the studio

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: for a year. It's uh, it is different, but it's

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: a little relaxing not to be breaking down sixteen games.

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: So you and I have been in the fantasy world

14
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: for a while now, and uh, I always found out

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: that like two weeks after like football completely done every year,

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: I would get sick because it was just like the

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: high end, the rush of like going and going and

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: going in the holidays and Christmas and New Year's and

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and then the playoffs hit and at

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, at League Safe, we did all of our

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: allocations and stuff and all the busy season there and

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: then just collapse. Then you just collapse for like for

23
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: like three or four days, just die. So common thing.

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay healthy right now. That's right, We're

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: doing the show while you're healthy. I like that as well.

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: You should. The purpose of this particular fantasy football weekly,

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: and we'll will come to you every week during the

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 1: off season is to get you ready for playoff fantasy

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: football and we're gonna talk about different ways to play strategies.

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: And one of the biggest things for me, Matt, is

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: this is the training ground for new rules, new concepts,

32
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: and things you've always did that maybe your league has

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: been debating trying, but you're not sure you wanted to try. Yeah,

34
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: things that you can do like in in in season

35
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: and a league, like scoring changes and rosters and that

36
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Yeah, those those things definitely make sense.

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: An auction used to be you know, for a long

38
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: time when talked before everybody's auction you we're like, hey,

39
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: if nothing else, just try the auction for your playoffs.

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: That's a great idea and then you'll know how to

41
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: run an auction and if you like the concept for

42
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: your regular season. Now Unfortunately, there's not a lot of

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: services out there that provide a good playoff fantasy football platform.

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: So on the auction side, you'd have to do those live,

45
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: I think, because I don't think that there's a service

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: out there right now do it over Zoom? I think, yeah,

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: maybe it might be. It might be a little tricky,

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, if you had an auctioneer, if you

49
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: had one person who is sort of a dedicated auctioneer

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: to just sort of track right, and if you did

51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: it over zoom, you could use like you know, like

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: in a real auction, people hold up the sign with

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: their number on it, right, they could do that. Gosh,

54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: if you have a bad connection at your house and

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: you're buffering though, just frozen. But no, it would be

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: a problem. How about this idea for Zoom. It's effectively

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: a zoom blind auction. Okay, everybody, everybody shows up with

58
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: a white board. Yes, I already know where you're going

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: with that. But if the player comes up right, so

60
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: and you get one bit it's Jonathan Taylor's you write

61
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: down one number, and everybody shows their number at the

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: same time, and you pay. The high person pays there

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: whatever they wrote down, or if you want to be

64
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: easier on them one dollar more than the next niest person.

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: That would be fun, wouldn't it. Yeah, I think we

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: should try that. I think I will try it. Let's

67
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: do that. Okay, I'll be in a league with you. Then. God, um,

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: I've already got one of the person who wants to

69
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: be in a playoff league. So yeah, well, and it

70
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't be hard to but you don't have you don't

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: have somebody who wants to be in a white board auction.

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: But you have to. That's going to be the rule

73
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: of the rule on this if you have to, actually

74
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: don't need an auctioneer for that one. You don't need that, correct,

75
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: and everybody can just throw it a different guy and

76
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: you put up your I love it. I think I

77
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: think there's something to this. It'd be really fun. Yeah. Um,

78
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: all right, so try new things, uh, new scoring systems,

79
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: new rules, new ideas, whatever you've got. Okay, how do you,

80
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Matt create your cheat sheet or player projections? So regardless

81
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: of how you're playing, you want to have the player

82
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: who's going to play the most games and score the

83
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: most points. Well, I'm glad you said projection because I

84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: think that's kind of how you have to play this

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: is you have to project what the total points for

86
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: the player will be over the course of the playoffs.

87
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: If you're going to take a player from the Eagles,

88
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: for instance, like Jalen Hurts, he's probably only gonna play

89
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: one game, Whereas if you're taking a player from the Packers,

90
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: they might get you know, a home win in there

91
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: there first divisional game, so they might get too if

92
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: they make it the Super Bowl, they might get three.

93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: But if you take Tom Brady for instance, he's gonna

94
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: have a wild card game and they could make the

95
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: run again and he could get four. So four is

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: the ultimate is the is the gold mine is And

97
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: not every year in fact, man of years, most years

98
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: no team plays four games. But when you can get

99
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: a team to play four games, that is a huge advantage.

100
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: Well and now with only one team getting to buy

101
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you're probably going to get one team

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: that gets four games in just about every year. So um,

103
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: I was trying to look at the scoring system when

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: I do it, and look at the scoring system and

105
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: see what that player would average in that scoring system.

106
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: If it's you know, fifteen point three average points in

107
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: that scoring system. You can kind of bank that, and

108
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: if you're really really smart, you can start looking at

109
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: defensive matchups that they might get on the horizon. Tennessee

110
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: is gonna play the lowest seed in the a f

111
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: C in all likelihood, since they'll probably get the one seed.

112
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: So you could see, well, Derrick Henry is going to

113
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: go up against maybe the Raiders terrible run defense, or

114
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: the or the Chargers terrible run defensive. Either of those

115
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: teams win a wild card game. So that makes you know,

116
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: a running back like that even more interesting. Well, you're

117
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: you're touching on the main thing that I do is

118
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: I actually map out they the full playoff brackets and

119
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: who I think is going to win, and I do

120
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: it two different times. So I will I'll I'll map

121
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: it all out, and I will do a very chalky

122
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: one that's mostly the favorites winning, although it's you know,

123
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: sometimes the seeds don't necessarily equate to the favorites. That's

124
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: true because the wild card team could be better, a

125
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: better visional team. And then I'll do one that's like

126
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: what I my opinion on who I think is gonna win,

127
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: which is never the chalk. And you know that you

128
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: know it's not always the same. So then I just

129
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: then I blend those two together, the chalk version and

130
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: the charge version, and I estimate how many games everybody's

131
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: going to play, so that I can say, Okay, I

132
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: think Jonathan Taylor is going to play two or three

133
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: games or two and a half games, and that really

134
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: drives my player projections for the playoffs. Yeah, and remember,

135
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: home field advantage is never meant less in the National

136
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: Football League than it has the last two years. It's

137
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: almost a five record for home teams and away teams.

138
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: So these are all good playoff teams, right, Good teams

139
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: are traveling into these home stadiums. It's not necessarily the

140
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: one seed, the two seed, the three seed are going

141
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: to automatically move. Well, some listeners right now we're saying, okay,

142
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: that's fine last year with no fans in the stands. Yeah,

143
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: it's almost the same record this year. Well, not in

144
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you just mean NFL season. It's just about

145
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: home and away teams. Interesting, Okay, I did not know that. Okay,

146
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: So now let's talk about some of the formats and

147
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: styles from playoff fantasy football. Um, how many of them

148
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: involved white boards? Tragically, not. But you know, if you

149
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: give me enough time, I'll come up with this. Well,

150
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna come your standard league that we're going

151
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: to talk about here. We could do that with a whiteboard.

152
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Well we could do the whiteboard auction style that. Yeah, absolutely,

153
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: But first we need to take a break, so we'll

154
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: be back in just a moment. Here, we'll put in

155
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: We'll get a quick break, and then let's talk about

156
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: four different ways you can play playoff fantasy football. Welcome

157
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison with you.

158
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: You can follow Matt at Explosive Output on Twitter Shock Fantasy.

159
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: Do you we have a Shock Fantasy playoff cheat sheet? Yeah?

160
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: I will put those up early next week once the

161
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: playoff field is sinalized and standing, and I'll be going

162
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: through a couple of different formations, just like like you

163
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: said I was. I was wearing my air Bear T

164
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: T shirt a couple of days ago at that I

165
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: got you got yours on black, I got mine on blue.

166
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: I think that I think the blue is the way

167
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: I got a few different colors. All right, let's talk

168
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: about formats for the playoffs, and I want to start

169
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: here I'm gonna go first because I have the I

170
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: have like the standard way to play on my side

171
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: of the ledger, what I think is the stand way

172
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: to play. So there's four teen NFL teams in the playoffs,

173
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: so I like playing with exactly seven teams in the league.

174
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: And that means because that gives everybody two team quarterbacks,

175
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: two team kickers, and two team defenses. And I do,

176
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: I do think you should play with kicker and defense

177
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. You know, the pool is so much

178
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: smaller right that here I I whereas I don't generally

179
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: like to play with kicker and defense, I'll I don't

180
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: mind it, but I don't know some people hate it anyway.

181
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: So everybody gets two team quarterbacks, two team kickers, to

182
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: team defense. I play with four running backs, four wide receivers,

183
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: two tight ends, and those are rigid you have to have.

184
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: It's not it's not no I'm gonna go for six

185
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: running backs and three wide receivers. Nope, exactly that number.

186
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: And it ends up making the scarcer positions like running

187
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: back a little more valuable because somebody's got a roster

188
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: for and the next you know, before long, somebody's rostering

189
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: you know Khalil Herbert. Well, it's a bad example of

190
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: Kali ground Yeah, the ground bear. He's not he's talking

191
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: about it in the playoffs unfortunately. Bad example. Yeah. But

192
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: but like Miles Sanders and Boston Scott and all those

193
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: backup Eagles running back they'll be in. They'll be in. Now.

194
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: There's no moves, there's no bench, there's no trades. Everybody's

195
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: a starter, and you're just playing it out and use

196
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: score points for as long as your guys are live,

197
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: that's it. And when and when your guys are eliminated,

198
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: they score zero, they score zero obviously. That's it. I mean,

199
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: it's it's very very straightforward. It feels like regular fantasy football,

200
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: except there's no start bench. Um, you hold a draft

201
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: much like you do or an auction much like you

202
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: do uh in a regular league. And that's it. So

203
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: that's my that's my standard fantasy league. I've been running

204
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: this playoff league for twenty years. That's that's your standard.

205
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: And I have a standard fantasy league that I've been

206
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: running for about eight or nine years now. Um And

207
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: and if anybody wants to play, follow Shock Fantasy on

208
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: Twitter and I'll probably put out the link and open

209
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: it up to some invitations for people to play. But

210
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: this is more of a contest game. It doesn't limit

211
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: it to seven teams, and it's more of a DFS

212
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: style game where you have a salary cap on each player.

213
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: I set the salary cap for each player. Uh, you

214
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: pick your team for the whole playoffs. It is rigid

215
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: roster construction, just like your league. But every team in

216
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: the league has a shot at every player. Every team

217
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: could roster Cooper Cup, every team could roster Tom Brady

218
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: if they wanted to. So um, But just like yours,

219
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: no moves. When you lose your players, they get a

220
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: zero for the rest of the playoffs. And in my league,

221
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: I believe we allow you to enter up to three times,

222
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: so you can you can take three shots. Do you

223
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: think that Kansas City and Green Bay meeting the Super Bowl?

224
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: You might want to stack a whole bunch of Chiefs

225
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: and Packers and put those together. Do you think it's

226
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: a Tampa Buffalo Super Bowl? Oh, you could get a

227
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: lot of points out of that by getting four games

228
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: out of each of those teams if that works. So,

229
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: how many people can play in this unlimited number? Right?

230
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: Or unlimited? I think I set my maximum on I

231
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: run it through my NCY league, and I set my maximum.

232
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: I believe at either one or two hundred teams. The

233
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: last couple of years, we've gotten teams for the most part,

234
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: So if you're when you're competing, it's that many players.

235
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk strategy for just a menia. Sure, I have

236
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: founded my small league with seven teams. The team's almost

237
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: always that do best are the ones who diversify across

238
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: a lot of different the players across a lot of

239
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: different NFL teams. Um, so you don't get shut out fast.

240
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: And all you need is you know, you get three

241
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: or four guys so the Super Bowl and you've got

242
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: a chance. From what we've seen out of the winners

243
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: in the past few years, it's been dual team stacks.

244
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: It's been in a stack in the NFC and and

245
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: and that kind of works. But how you diversify is

246
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: you take the weird guy that maybe is a little

247
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: higher price than the other or you you you you

248
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: diversify the same way you're doing a DFS game. Find

249
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: a guy that's going to have a low ownership percentage

250
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: and you try to attack that player and put that

251
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: one your roster alright, And in that format I can pick,

252
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: it's still salary captive, it's some way, so I'm still

253
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: going to have to do some some juggling. Yep. So

254
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: you can't just pick, you know, the best player from

255
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: every team across the board. It just won't allow you.

256
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: So understood, alright. My second of two formats for the

257
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: playoffs is a four man roster. You're big into the

258
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: number four teams, that's why. And you get exactly one

259
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: player from each team, and you have to fill out

260
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: another rigid roster of two quarterbacks, three running backs, three receivers,

261
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: two tight ends, too, defenses, two kickers, and you get

262
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: one player from each team anybody want, anybody you want? Simple, simple, right,

263
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: kind of like my game, but no salary, just a

264
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: limit on which team you're getting. You get one guy

265
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: from each team. That's it, so you can't stack. And

266
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: then the process becomes a little more interesting because everybody's

267
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: so many people are gonna have Davante Adams. Are you

268
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: gonna pivot to Marcus Velda Scantley is going to be

269
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: your packer, right, just to give you some diversification, and

270
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: looking at like the tight end position, how many people

271
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: are gonna have Travis Kelsey in there a lot and

272
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: a lot, and if George Kittle makes the playoffs with

273
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: the Niners, a lot of George Kittles. So it'll be

274
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: interesting to see how people diversify there. Do you want

275
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: to take Mahomes instead? Do you want to take Tyreek

276
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: Hill instead? Do you want to get wacky and take

277
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams who could be in line for an absolutely

278
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: awesome playoff run here? It is possible, actually yes, I mean,

279
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: if you know, we don't know what we think. Clyde

280
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: Edwards Alaire maybe available, but honestly, he he never really

281
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: got back the big top workload that I thought he

282
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: would get back after he came back from this previous injury.

283
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: I remember last year at this time, we were all

284
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: trying to decide Ronald Jones or Leonard four Net for

285
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and I was on the wrong side. Fournet

286
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: got no runing, nothing all regular season, nothing, and then

287
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: went berserk. Yeah, alright, So that's my second one fourteen

288
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: fourteen man roster. Because there's fourteen teams, pick one guy

289
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: and from each team and fill out two quarterbacks, through

290
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: running backs to receivers, two tight ends, two kickers to defense,

291
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: your fourth and your second of two playoff formats. Matt, Well,

292
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: mine's kind of similar to yours, um, and this is

293
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: a playoff hold him game. And actually the nff c

294
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: UH National Fantasy Football Championship they run a really cool one.

295
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: Uh here's how there's works, and you can set up

296
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: your own similar to this if you want to on

297
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: my fantasy league right now. And I'm not affiliated with

298
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: my fantasy league anyway, but they have free playoff uh

299
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: fantasy football available for we like the guys behind and

300
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: we do like we do like Mike and Tony and yeah,

301
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: so the NFC, their format is a hold him game,

302
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: and so it's a little bit different. You have two

303
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: quarter backs, three running backs for wide receivers or tight ends,

304
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: so four receivers, one flex, a kicker, and a defense.

305
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: And in the first round of the playoffs, just like yours,

306
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: you can only have one player from each team, but

307
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: only in the first round. In the first round, it's

308
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: a twelve man roster and you can only have one

309
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: player from each team, so you'll leave well, well, there's

310
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: two teams that are they are on by in the

311
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: first round. You could leave those on by, but have

312
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: my only chance to get a packer. But wait, there's more.

313
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: If you hold a player from your wild card round

314
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: on your roster and keep them on your roster, their

315
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: multiplier goes up from one to two, goes from one

316
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: to two. So so if you get Aaron Rodgers and

317
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: just let him sit in week one for now, I

318
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: get double points and get double points, triple points, a

319
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: week three, tuple points. So in the divisional round, the

320
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: second round, you can have up to two players from

321
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: each team on your roster. How do I add somebody later?

322
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: You get to you get to go in and manually

323
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: change your roster every week on the site. But I

324
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: have to, Okay, can I Can I make any roster

325
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: I want? You can make any roster you want, Okay,

326
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: all right, even in week even in the second round.

327
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: So I can make any roster, you can change it.

328
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: But if you change anything, that guy's restarting at one

329
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: x yep. So, for instance, let's say you had I'm

330
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: trying to think of a guy who's going to play

331
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: in the first round for sure, Uh, Dallas, Dallas Collas Cowboys, Dallas,

332
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys or Dallas. Let's see if Dallas Goddard in

333
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: the first round, they win, they move on to the

334
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: second round. If you keep Dallas Goddard in that spot

335
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: in the divisional round, he gets two times the point,

336
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: which I would want. If Dallas Goddard gets hurt and

337
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: Philly moves on, you'd probably want to replace him, so

338
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: you'd get a new tight end and that guy would

339
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: be at only one X. So when you get to

340
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: the third round, the conference championship round, some of those

341
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: players can be up to three X and you can

342
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: now have three players from each team on your roster

343
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: to fill out the twelve man roster. And then when

344
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: you get to the Super Bowl, you can have four

345
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: players from each team, so your roster is paired down

346
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: to eight. So your your roster requirements aren't as rigid

347
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl week, but but you can have you know,

348
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: the four X multiplier on on a couple of different players.

349
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: I like the The reason I like this format is

350
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: you get the feeling you could have a thrilling come

351
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: from behind. You know, you're in the middle of the

352
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: pack going into the super Bowl, and then here comes

353
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: your three and four X guys that have big games

354
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, and you come back to the Yeah,

355
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: so I think the key in that one is too

356
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: forecast who might be the best player on a team

357
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: that can play four games, who's the best fantasy player

358
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: on a team that could play four and then you

359
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: want to get them in your lineups. Week one will

360
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: help you project which players will do well in the

361
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs next week when some matchups. Yeah,

362
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: we'll know the matchups, will break them down. Sim start,

363
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,280

364
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: We're going to brief versions. We're not doing full versions.

365
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: It's too long, it's too much. But we'll do is

366
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: I know, I know, we'll do the fast versions of

367
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: those games. Um and and it'll be fun. Yeah, looking

368
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: forward to the playoffs. The great thing about working in

369
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: our business in the in the real football playoffs is

370
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: for the most part, we're not working those games, and

371
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: I just enjoy them. It'll be great. I I absolutely

372
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 1: adore the divisional round of the playoffs. Like, that's my

373
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: favorite week of the year. You get the two on Saturday,

374
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: you get the two on Sunday. If you don't have

375
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: anything going on, you can just PLoP yourself down on

376
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: the couch order of pizza and have a six pack

377
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: next to you and just watch these awesome games between

378
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: awesome teams every time. The wild card round doesn't often

379
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: give you the best matchups, but the divisional round it's

380
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: usually the cream of the crop in that round and

381
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: you get four great games. Yeah that's um, those are

382
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: those games are a ton of fun. The have a

383
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: strong bend towards going too. Not that we can bet

384
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: here in Minnesota, but if I were to, we can

385
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: drive to we can drive to Iowa. Bet the the

386
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: wild The teams that win in that wild card round

387
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: but beat bad teams flop the next week. So like

388
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: I think, the Eagles are an easy out. So you know,

389
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: whoever gets the Eagles in round one is going to

390
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: easily advance to round two and then I go against

391
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: that team. That makes sense. Yeah, we'll see. Uh. Thank
