Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation,
Speaker 1: and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now,
Speaker 1: here's your host. Welcome to a playoff edition of Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. I'm Paul Tcharchi and my co host today
Speaker 1: is Matt Harrison. Hi, charch I, really enjoy coming to
Speaker 1: do the podcast at your home. Uh. The third butler
Speaker 1: was really nice. Yeah yeah, Well, I you have to
Speaker 1: work your way through to the foot butler. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: The first one is just password. Then you have to
Speaker 1: then you have to defeat the second one an armed battle,
Speaker 1: and um I killed him with a trident. Very impressive. Well,
Speaker 1: Ron Burgundy and then uh, the third butler, Uh, if
Speaker 1: you don't get past him, he releases the hounds. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: so we're very big on released hounds here, scraps and peppers.
Speaker 1: They're brutal, really brutal, very much so. Last week's Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly, we talked about all the different kinds of
Speaker 1: playoff formats that people have got and you know, ways
Speaker 1: to play in the playoffs. We love playoff fantasy football
Speaker 1: and um so then following up that now is when
Speaker 1: everybody's building their roster this week. I just I just
Speaker 1: submitted my roster to your game in the last last
Speaker 1: few minutes in which I went back and forth lots
Speaker 1: on and so it's tough. You gotta play out the bracket, right,
Speaker 1: you do? I think you don't know what we're doing
Speaker 1: in this That is what we're doing for you. So
Speaker 1: I think the best advice we can give people is
Speaker 1: to help you look at how many games each team
Speaker 1: is gonna play, then identify the players you want from
Speaker 1: each team. So what I've challenged you with and myself
Speaker 1: is give me the number of games you think each
Speaker 1: team is gonna play. And then I asked for a
Speaker 1: chalk player from every team, like who's the obvious guy
Speaker 1: to take? And a lot of these playoff formats, Matt,
Speaker 1: I'll let you take anybody like you know, just give
Speaker 1: me one player from each of the fourteen teams. But
Speaker 1: if you're in a big enough pool, you have to
Speaker 1: go against the chalk sometimes sometimes, so then we've got
Speaker 1: the hunch player. You got a chalk player and a
Speaker 1: hunch player. And that's how we'll that's how we'll structure
Speaker 1: this show. Very excited and if we have time at
Speaker 1: the end, I want to talk to you about the
Speaker 1: Music Fantasy League that I've just found out about it.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about that. Okay, so let's start with
Speaker 1: this first is Um, I've done two brackets. I did
Speaker 1: a chalk bracket, like you know, if this thing plays
Speaker 1: out mostly to form, here's I'll probably go. And I
Speaker 1: played did one that was a hunch bracket. So let's
Speaker 1: start with Kansas City. How many games do you have
Speaker 1: Kansas City playing? I think they will play to two.
Speaker 1: I have two or three. Yeah, they're gonna win their
Speaker 1: first round game and then they are going to win
Speaker 1: their first round probably. Yes. Um, I've got them playing
Speaker 1: Jacksonville in the first round of as I've got Jacksonville winning.
Speaker 1: So we think two and three. That puts a lot
Speaker 1: of chiefs into play. But two is not Two is
Speaker 1: not the magic number here. We really want to find
Speaker 1: threes and four threason four is is the magic number.
Speaker 1: And and that's why for me, when building playoff rosters,
Speaker 1: if you don't have to take a player from every
Speaker 1: team in the first round, like if you're able to
Speaker 1: switch and stuff. I don't want to take that many
Speaker 1: guys on the Eagles and the Chiefs right now, those
Speaker 1: are teams that can play at most three games, you know,
Speaker 1: So there's there. They don't have the upside of some
Speaker 1: of the four teams that we'll talk about in a minute.
Speaker 1: So who's your chalk player from Kansas City? I think
Speaker 1: it would have to be Jalen Hurts right now, Kansas City? Sorry, oh,
Speaker 1: kans Oh sorry, okay. I went to the other one seed,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Of course, Travis Kelsey. I thought I can
Speaker 1: find other good quarterback. Yeah, I think you're You're right.
Speaker 1: It's it's definitely Kelsey. I mean he's the tight end
Speaker 1: difference maker. If you look at the pool of tight ends,
Speaker 1: there's George Kittle, There's t J. Hockenson, there's Dallas Goddard,
Speaker 1: and then it drops off significantly. So Travis Kelsey's going
Speaker 1: to be very chalky, all right. And then the hunch player.
Speaker 1: Do you want to stick with your awesome December call?
Speaker 1: Jrrick McKinnon is your hunch player? Do you want to
Speaker 1: go somewhere else? No? I think I will. He's he's
Speaker 1: just been awesome. He's been involved so many touches in
Speaker 1: the passing game and the running game, and they've been
Speaker 1: really quality. They're splitting him with Pacheco pretty evenly. But
Speaker 1: I like the way this goes. And I personally have
Speaker 1: the Chargers beating the Jaguars this this week, which would
Speaker 1: put the Chargers there. And Chargers are terrible to get
Speaker 1: the run, and so I would be looking at those
Speaker 1: Kansas City running backs. All right, I think the super
Speaker 1: hunch player would be Patcheco because McKinnon and McKinnon can't
Speaker 1: physically keep this up with the receiving touchdowns. It's never
Speaker 1: happened before. We're in, you know, like never before territory.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Let's go to the
Speaker 1: number two seed in the FC. I'm just doing the
Speaker 1: FCS first. The number two seed, Buffalo. How many games
Speaker 1: you got here? I think they're going to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I do too. I've got him as a four game team,
Speaker 1: so that means you and I have are loading up
Speaker 1: rosters on Buffalo Bills players. I believe. So, I think
Speaker 1: Buffalo and San Francisco are the two teams most likely
Speaker 1: to play four games. I think you can probably agree
Speaker 1: with me, correct all right, So who's your chalk player
Speaker 1: for San Francisco, sorry for Buffalo. Josh Allen is the choc.
Speaker 1: The entire offense just runs right through him. Give me
Speaker 1: your hunch player. Uh, the hunch player. You gotta go.
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, I think because of just what he did
Speaker 1: against Kansas City in that playoff game last year, big
Speaker 1: moment came stepped up big that the NFL just did
Speaker 1: announce that that neutral site game, if it's Kansas City Buffalo,
Speaker 1: will be held in Atlanta. I hadn't heard that, but
Speaker 1: that was my early That was my early pick was Atlanta.
Speaker 1: That so, uh, the fact that Buffalo won't have to
Speaker 1: go on the road for a true road environment game,
Speaker 1: I think that that plays well into into their uh,
Speaker 1: their ability to make the Super Bowl as well. Uh.
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis has a wonderful matchup this week. Oh man, everybody,
Speaker 1: everybody's got a wonderful matchup. By the way, Miami's outside
Speaker 1: cornerbacks are awful. So Buffalo is a thirteen and a
Speaker 1: half point favorite right now with Skylar Thompson and I
Speaker 1: kind of like Skylie Thompson um in the last eleven
Speaker 1: games where a playoff team was double digit favored. The
Speaker 1: They have covered ten of the last eleven times, so
Speaker 1: that's that would bode well for Gabe Davis as well.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the three seeds Cincinnati. How many games
Speaker 1: do you have Cincinnati playing well? They have won eight
Speaker 1: straight not not not too shabby at all. I'm unfortunately
Speaker 1: I got them planned too, because if they win, they
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo, and I think that that's that's the
Speaker 1: stopper right there for them. That will be a very
Speaker 1: emotional game, obviously the one that was canceled just a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Damar Hamlin will be in the house.
Speaker 1: It'll it'll be a raucous crowd in Buffalo, and I
Speaker 1: think that the momentum is going Buffalo's way and that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a two and a three in my two.
Speaker 1: I have a chalk is too, just three games for Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: It's a good team. Your chalk player for Cincinnati, I
Speaker 1: think you'd have to go Jamar Chase. Yeah, yep. My
Speaker 1: hunch player was Tee Higgins. I just think people forget
Speaker 1: T Higgins and in any game he can put up
Speaker 1: more and better numbers than Jamar Chase. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: and the the other one that I think this guy's
Speaker 1: way off radar. But if you've got to go cheap
Speaker 1: at tight end, if you're in a salary cap related league,
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst kind of an interesting guy. He'll be way
Speaker 1: off the radar. And if if you're not going to
Speaker 1: go Travis Kelsey, go with a guy who's got a
Speaker 1: little bit of a track record, can play and and
Speaker 1: tight ends tend to get focused on a little bit
Speaker 1: in these playoff series when it's really tight, down and
Speaker 1: down into the game. I'm not taking Joe Mixon. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not either. It's been so up and down more down.
Speaker 1: It's just the eye test. That guy looks cooked. Your
Speaker 1: four seat in the AFC's Jacksonville. How many games you
Speaker 1: have Jacksonville playing I alluded to a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1: I think they only play one. Even though they've won
Speaker 1: five straight, including wins over Detroit in Tennessee, which are
Speaker 1: quality wins, knocked them out of the playoffs, and they
Speaker 1: beat Dallas and that shootout win in like week fifteen.
Speaker 1: Problem is that they're the youngest playoff team left and
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of playoff experience on that roster.
Speaker 1: So I just think that they've been winning, playing good
Speaker 1: d against some teams that don't necessarily have good offenses,
Speaker 1: and I think that's Detroit. Well, they those are teams
Speaker 1: that can score points. Those were early the last three
Speaker 1: games where they've given up like three points. Three points.
Speaker 1: It's been like Tennessee and a couple of other junk teams.
Speaker 1: So I I just think that Los Angeles is just
Speaker 1: more talented team. Um, well, not without Mike Williams. That
Speaker 1: was what a dumb maass move. And I hate to
Speaker 1: you know, I know this has already been played out
Speaker 1: from the previous weekend. Brandon Staley, what the hell are
Speaker 1: you doing? Meaningless game? Playing all your starters? People get hurt?
Speaker 1: Dumb right, what a dumb game. Yeah, so I've got
Speaker 1: Jacksonville winning Chargers two banged up, um a variety of places,
Speaker 1: not just the offensive weapons. By the way, on that
Speaker 1: if the Chargers lose this game, is Brandon Staley out
Speaker 1: in l A. There are people that think he might
Speaker 1: be I don't, but I there people think he might
Speaker 1: be here if he's one and done, um, and he
Speaker 1: will have brought it on himself to no small degree.
Speaker 1: So who's your chalk player? I think Chock is a
Speaker 1: Travis E. T N with the great matchup against the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles run defense. He's horrible. Um, he should score.
Speaker 1: I think he's like a minus one thirty to score
Speaker 1: touchdown in the game. And so if he's a favorite
Speaker 1: to score touchdown as opposed to not score, you gotta
Speaker 1: like those I picked him in your league. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: Christian kirk is my hunch player. He has been a
Speaker 1: really constants are going all the way back to week one.
Speaker 1: In fact, one of our three tough questions on this
Speaker 1: show in like week three was is Christian Kirkin finishes
Speaker 1: the top ten? Remember that? And I said yes, he
Speaker 1: said yes. It ended up playing itself out here right
Speaker 1: around the tenth highest scoring wide receiver this year. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the number five seed, the l A Chargers.
Speaker 1: We just mentioned them. Yeah, I think we've both. You've
Speaker 1: got him as a two winning two games. I've got
Speaker 1: I'm playing two games waiting. Sorry, thank you for clarifying.
Speaker 1: They'd have to go to Kansas City, and I don't
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna beat Kansas City. Uh. The the
Speaker 1: pundits would say, oh, it's the dreaded West Coast team
Speaker 1: going all the way to the East Coast. The Chargers
Speaker 1: are three and oh and games in the Eastern time
Speaker 1: zone this year, so they got that going for I've
Speaker 1: never really bought that. Yeah, I think they're just a
Speaker 1: more talented team, and I just think it matches up
Speaker 1: really well with with all the weapons they have on offense. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've only got one game for the Chargers. Your chalk
Speaker 1: players obviously Austin Neckler, Austin Ekeler, but I would consider
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen here too. Um. I think that the Jaguars
Speaker 1: have some some tendencies to get beat by receivers, and
Speaker 1: I think Keenan Allen is a guy who can especially
Speaker 1: with Mike Williams trending the wrong way, I think Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen could see a lot of focus his way. The
Speaker 1: number six seed in the a f C is Baltimore.
Speaker 1: I've at them going one game. Uh. Tyler Huntley has
Speaker 1: not been what I had hoped he would be able to.
Speaker 1: I was hoping he'd be a poor man's Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: It turns out he's just a poor man. I think
Speaker 1: that that team is just discombobulated right now, with Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson being hurt and the fact that he's been so
Speaker 1: good and wins so many games for that team. I
Speaker 1: think they have like a two eight win percentage, and
Speaker 1: James he's not playing something. It's something like that. And
Speaker 1: the fact that they gave a big contract a ro
Speaker 1: Quan Smith didn't give one to Lamar Jackson. They're not
Speaker 1: mutually exclusive, they're not, but I technically it's a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think that that creates a little bit of inter
Speaker 1: locker room strife too. And I I it feels like
Speaker 1: that this team is an easy one and done. I
Speaker 1: don't think Cincinnati will have an issue with them at all.
Speaker 1: All Right, your chalk player for Baltimore, I think it's
Speaker 1: got to be J. K. Dobbins because I think of
Speaker 1: the offense rolls through him. Um, what do you Mark
Speaker 1: Andrews is my hunch player, but now we qualified. Yes,
Speaker 1: it scored sins week six, but it's a hunch, Like
Speaker 1: I'm hunching my shoulders, like, I don't know, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the seventh seed in the final seed
Speaker 1: in the a f C Miami. I assume you've got
Speaker 1: them playing one game Skylie Thompson. Uh, the chalk player
Speaker 1: would be who I think the chuck player would have
Speaker 1: to be Tyreek Hill, just because he can break a
Speaker 1: a short pass for a touchdown on any play with
Speaker 1: the speed that he's got. I like as my hunch player.
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson most probably moster is gonna miss this game,
Speaker 1: probably exactly who I got. Wilson's gonna get a bunch
Speaker 1: of carries. They don't want Scotli Thompson throwing fifty times.
Speaker 1: I think Jeff Wilson's looking at a twenty carey game.
Speaker 1: I do too, And I'm thinking about can I switch
Speaker 1: my roster when your thing? Or is it once you
Speaker 1: submit it, you're done. I mean it's a Google sheet,
Speaker 1: so as long as I haven't uploaded it yet, I
Speaker 1: might switch Jeff Wilson for is he a one dollar
Speaker 1: player or two dollar player? He might be a two
Speaker 1: dollar and then I can't afford it. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the NFC side. Philadelphia is your one seed. You've got
Speaker 1: them playing two games? Two games, all right, So you've
Speaker 1: got San Francisco advancing. I assume I do, okay, so
Speaker 1: talk to me about that. I've got Philadelphia going three.
Speaker 1: Who is your chalk player for Philadelphia? Like I said before,
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, but you can talk me into a J.
Speaker 1: Brown as well. Uh, both guys have been awesome frankly,
Speaker 1: the big three there, Brown, Sanders and Hurts. All of
Speaker 1: those guys very quality. And I think that, however, the
Speaker 1: bracket breaks, whether it's the Giants upsetting the Vikings and
Speaker 1: going to Philly, or if it's the four or five
Speaker 1: game either Dallas or Tampa. None of those teams particularly
Speaker 1: scare me in that first round matchup. But I think
Speaker 1: the forty Niners are built to just destroy the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I think so too. Yeah, well, no, I don't I
Speaker 1: like the Eagles to win that game at Francisco eventually.
Speaker 1: All Right, the guy I'm not taking DeVante Smith why
Speaker 1: he was tempted to put him as a hunch player.
Speaker 1: But Jalen Hurts has proven in his starts. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: gonna feed a J. Brown and Dallas Goddard when Dallas
Speaker 1: Goddard is helped, which he is now. Gardner Minshew loved
Speaker 1: Smith and used him a lot and really a shoot
Speaker 1: his tight end. But now that Jalen Hurts his back,
Speaker 1: he showed his tight end. I like him. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: number two seed in the NFC is San Francisco. You
Speaker 1: think they're gonna play four games, Yeah, they would be
Speaker 1: winning fourteen straight if they win the Super Bowl. They
Speaker 1: won ten straight right now, it's amazing. You imagine brock
Speaker 1: Purty hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. No, but honestly, even even
Speaker 1: if Garoppolo is available, if Purtty gets them to the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, you gotta not definitely not putting Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 1: in and can't at that point, No way not. They'll
Speaker 1: take chances on brock Purty. Um my hunch brackets. I
Speaker 1: do have San Francisco playing four games and getting the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I do think it's gonna come down to
Speaker 1: the one versus the two Philadelphia San Francisco. I just
Speaker 1: can't seem aybody rolling into Philadelphia in February and winning
Speaker 1: that game late January winning that game. But maybe it'll
Speaker 1: have see. I think with San Francisco's really awesome defense
Speaker 1: and and the fact that they can do so many
Speaker 1: different things with how they spread the ball around, Deebo
Speaker 1: getting healthy at the right time, I think that San
Speaker 1: Francisco is just kind of built to beat this Eagles team.
Speaker 1: It's like it could definitely happen and like I said,
Speaker 1: my hunch sheets got him going for the chalk players,
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey without a doubt, resolutely. And who's your who
Speaker 1: is your hunch player? I mean if you just have
Speaker 1: to pick somebody else, I mean, if you want to
Speaker 1: go off radar Debo, Right, he's coming back, nobody's thinking
Speaker 1: about what thinking about him? Um? And and the and
Speaker 1: the fact that Debo has been when Deebo went down,
Speaker 1: that's when we saw the ascendant Georgia. Right. So I
Speaker 1: think you have to be careful about pick and kettle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you do too. Um. The the sneaky, sneaky
Speaker 1: play Brock Purdy. Ah, he's on my roster and your
Speaker 1: three bucks. Yeah, I like Brock Purdy. Here. Uh, the
Speaker 1: number three seed in the NFC is the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: How many games you have them playing? I think they'll
Speaker 1: get to two. Um, you you probably have more inside information,
Speaker 1: you know. I've been working with the Vikings radio network
Speaker 1: here and I don't have any like you know, I
Speaker 1: don't have inside inside information on this. I've got them
Speaker 1: either winning one or two games. We know it's going
Speaker 1: to be close. And all probability teams like the Giants,
Speaker 1: don't blow out the Vikings. It's they aren't built the
Speaker 1: way that the teams that have blown out the Vikings have.
Speaker 1: And if it's a one score game, the Vikings are
Speaker 1: one score games this year. And you know, you know
Speaker 1: what I hate about the Vikings narrative that everybody's just
Speaker 1: glommed onto for the last ump team weeks. Now, Oh,
Speaker 1: the negative point differential. The only one that matters is
Speaker 1: the wins. They won thirteen, they lost four. I mean
Speaker 1: that's a plus nine point differential. In my mind. That's Look,
Speaker 1: I lose by one or you lose by thirty, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It kind of does. I don't know. Justin
Speaker 1: Jefferson is the chalk player for the Vikings, right, yes,
Speaker 1: And give me your hunch player. There's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of hunches. T J. Hockenson would be the easy hunch player.
Speaker 1: I think he is the easy hot I couldn't find
Speaker 1: any it's the other. It's it's the other uh dot
Speaker 1: dot name kJ Osborne, who has come up huge lately.
Speaker 1: And if you want a guy who's you know, just
Speaker 1: nationally if you're playing in a big contest, that's like
Speaker 1: nationally based. kJ Osbourne is not going to be on
Speaker 1: a lot of rosters. They know about him in Minnesota
Speaker 1: and maybe if you've watched a couple of Viking games,
Speaker 1: he's he's been really good over the last month, and
Speaker 1: I just think that he's got the opportunity to just,
Speaker 1: you know, be a difference maker in these games. He
Speaker 1: probably k J Osborne probably has outscored Adam Feeling over
Speaker 1: the last month or so. I believe that's correct. The
Speaker 1: number four seed in the NFC is Tampa Bay. I've
Speaker 1: got this is the worst team in the playoffs. Uh,
Speaker 1: they have no business being in the playoffs. Carolina would
Speaker 1: have taken care of business, they wouldn't be in the playoffs. Um,
Speaker 1: and it would have helped Brian a lot. And so
Speaker 1: I've got him on one game. Do you have Tampa
Speaker 1: with more than one win to I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: beat Dallas. Dallas, Well, we can kind of lump these
Speaker 1: two together because they're playing each other and we're gonna
Speaker 1: go to Dallas next. But all time Cowboys oh and
Speaker 1: seven against Tom Brady, don't care. Um. This year Cowboys
Speaker 1: two and three in games on natural grass fields. And
Speaker 1: even Jason Garrett, their former coach, was like, I don't
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys going to Tampa to play on a
Speaker 1: grass field, So I think I think there's something to that.
Speaker 1: Dak has thrown eleven picks in his last seven games.
Speaker 1: Security has been awful. Well, al right, he's had bad picks,
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, he's also he's also rolling in fantasy
Speaker 1: points and he's putting up big numbers. It's not like
Speaker 1: he's played badly. He's just making like one dumb ass
Speaker 1: throw every game. Sure, but those dumbass throws against the
Speaker 1: team like Tampa, who's got a lot of veterans that
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl two years ago, and they're healthier
Speaker 1: than they've been all year at this point right now,
Speaker 1: and you got the goat factor, you can go. So
Speaker 1: is Tom Brady your chalk player for Tampa? You know,
Speaker 1: I think it's Chris Godwin. Okay, can get excited about
Speaker 1: god With Mike Evans being hurt right now and and
Speaker 1: a little iffy for this game, I think Godwin is
Speaker 1: going to see a pass funnel in his direction in
Speaker 1: this one. All right, I'm going I'm going to Brady
Speaker 1: as my chok guy, and I'm going to Evans is
Speaker 1: my hunch player. If he's gonna do what he did
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. Suddenly, you know, if he can be
Speaker 1: that guy, I don't know. In playoff. Lenny just doesn't
Speaker 1: do it for me. You know, I was gonna, I
Speaker 1: was gonna mention that Dallas defense has not been as
Speaker 1: good over the last month or so, and particularly against
Speaker 1: the run. Yeah, so I think that Leonard four Nett
Speaker 1: very interesting in this case. Uh for the chalk player
Speaker 1: for Dallas, Ceedee Lamb to me is the chalk player
Speaker 1: because the running back split it right, gets all the
Speaker 1: touchdowns he scored him whatever, like seven or last eight games.
Speaker 1: Pology is the better runner, but that gets all split up.
Speaker 1: So I thought Ceedee Lamb to me was the chalk player.
Speaker 1: What do you think? I agree with you on Ceedee Lamb,
Speaker 1: and I think the chalk guy. I want to say Pollard,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go Zeke because of the Pollard kind
Speaker 1: of getting dinged up down the stretch and missed the
Speaker 1: game or two. I think Zeke is the healthier back
Speaker 1: right now, and I think that that coaching staff trusts him,
Speaker 1: and and frankly the front office and the owner trusts
Speaker 1: Zeke to no end. Probably, so it would not surprise
Speaker 1: me at all to c Z get to a twenty
Speaker 1: touch game in this game against Tampa. So he's kind
Speaker 1: of the sneaky play. The number six seed in the
Speaker 1: NFC is the Giants. You have the Vikings winning, I've
Speaker 1: got I did in my two brackets. I have the
Speaker 1: Giants winning one and losing one one one and a
Speaker 1: half games. Who's your chalk player from the Giants. He's
Speaker 1: gotta Yeah, he's gotta be the top option. A hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty three total yards in the meeting last month
Speaker 1: that gets the Vikings and six yards per carry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just gotta be the chalk. It's gonna go through him.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get twenty touches easy in this one. I
Speaker 1: think Daniel Jones is a really interesting hunch player. I
Speaker 1: have him too. I love him rushing in this game,
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be a big problem. Get this.
Speaker 1: He finished in rushing yards within like I don't know,
Speaker 1: ten twelve yards of Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, Hurts missed a few games at the end,
Speaker 1: a few games, but still the dude can run. And
Speaker 1: the Vikings past defense is so bad. I think Jones
Speaker 1: is sitting on a big game winner lose. So Jones
Speaker 1: has a big box score in this game. If you
Speaker 1: believe that the Giants win this game, if you feel
Speaker 1: like that's gonna happen, Yes, I think Daniel Jones is
Speaker 1: an absolutely excell and play because he's going to have
Speaker 1: a giant game. Oh pun intended right there. If if
Speaker 1: they do win, it's it's gonna be at least two
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. It will probably be fifty to sixty arcs
Speaker 1: and maybe adding one on the ground. He's gonna have
Speaker 1: a big game. And then you get him in the
Speaker 1: second game and he'd be going up against Philly. That
Speaker 1: would be tough. But the Giants, no Philly. The Giants
Speaker 1: are gonna be intimidated going into Philadelphia for a game.
Speaker 1: It seems like a good play. The seventh and final
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC Seattle, this is the team in
Speaker 1: my mind that has no business. I kind of wish
Speaker 1: that they would have been like Detroit, you can go
Speaker 1: because we don't deserve to be. Would be way more fun.
Speaker 1: All right, So we both think this is a one
Speaker 1: a one game team. Um, the weather's gonna be a
Speaker 1: factor in this game. It might suppress the box score,
Speaker 1: which gives me all the more reason to not take
Speaker 1: any Seattle Seahawks because they're probably one a one game
Speaker 1: team and a low box score. So who's your chalk
Speaker 1: player from Seattle? The guy you have to take for
Speaker 1: chalk is Lockett Um Tyler Tyler Lockett uh much better
Speaker 1: career numbers against San Francisco than DK metcalf Uh. Plus,
Speaker 1: the weak spot of the forty Niners is to the
Speaker 1: wide receiver, the wide receiver position specifically, I think that
Speaker 1: Lockett's probably got the best chance of scoring a touchdown
Speaker 1: out of any player on Seattle. So that's that's the
Speaker 1: guy I look at. I was with you until it's
Speaker 1: just Locket's got knee and the finger surgery with ten
Speaker 1: ten pins in the finger or whatever like two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, you know what, I'm just going with
Speaker 1: a safe guy. I'm the healthy guy, and I went
Speaker 1: with Metcalf. We both agree, Kenneth Locker to me is
Speaker 1: dead brutal matchup. You know, I can't take him. No,
Speaker 1: you can't take him. This would be like I don't
Speaker 1: I know he's a big name, but I can't take
Speaker 1: him in this one spot. One game, bad surface rain game.
Speaker 1: Potentially San Francisco is awesome run defense, no thank you.
Speaker 1: I think both of the seven seeds, particularly like there
Speaker 1: there's one contest I'm in where there's only twelve roster
Speaker 1: spots and you get to take one player from each
Speaker 1: team except two. I'm leaving out Miami and Seattle for sure,
Speaker 1: because they've gotta be won one game teams and and
Speaker 1: even you know, a one game Tyreek box score. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna want the guy who gets multiple games in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: I see to me to be Baltimore because like they're
Speaker 1: gonna lose and score no points because that's what they do.
Speaker 1: Miami's gonna score points against Buffalo with know I kind
Speaker 1: of do. I don't. I think they're gonna I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna be I think there's gonna be some points
Speaker 1: to be had. He like Jeff Wilson, Mica Jeff will
Speaker 1: seen in that one. Um, all right, well we are
Speaker 1: out of time. I want to know about the music
Speaker 1: League I'm trying to do in sixty seconds. Um, you
Speaker 1: create a league for as many with as many friends
Speaker 1: as you want, and then things scales infinitely everybody and
Speaker 1: you come up with a musical theme like let's say
Speaker 1: instrumentals or three minute songs or less. Okay, and that
Speaker 1: is the theme for that round. Everybody submits a Spotify link.
Speaker 1: You don't even have to have anybody. You can create
Speaker 1: a free spot by account, right, Everybody submits a free
Speaker 1: one song that goes into the league for that round.
Speaker 1: It's it's totally anonymous, nobody knows you submitted it. Then
Speaker 1: you listen to all the songs and you have to
Speaker 1: divvy up. I think it's twenty points among all the
Speaker 1: among all of the songs. So you rate all the songs,
Speaker 1: not knowing who submitted them. You just listen to them. Go,
Speaker 1: I think this is great. You get eight points. This
Speaker 1: garbage you get zero points. That kind of thing. I
Speaker 1: am in this league with you. If you're starting one, well, okay,
Speaker 1: it's good to know. I'll put you in it and
Speaker 1: um and so then it at the end of the round,
Speaker 1: so the round could be like a week. Servety's time
Speaker 1: to listen to all the songs then everybody. Then it
Speaker 1: calculates who's submission did the best and is based on
Speaker 1: how many points you got. This idea, no, but I
Speaker 1: wish you would. I wish I would have. It's a
Speaker 1: brilliant so I'm very excited about the Music League. I
Speaker 1: gotta go. Thank you, Matt, I appreciate it. Thank you
Speaker 1: for listening, everybody. We'll be back next week. Fantasy Football
