Welcome to a playoff edition of 6 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchy and my coast 7 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: today is Brian Johnson. Charge Hey, great to be here. 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: I I love fantasy football in the playoffs because you 9 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: get to draft again. We haven't. We haven't drafted since August, 10 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: so that part's fun. You don't have to do for 11 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: the way most people play, not all, but most, you 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: don't have to do any transactions. I love draft in 13 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: hold and it just you know, it just goes. Although 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: there's so many ways to play and to do this, 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: when you're drafting quarterbacks, it should be team quarterback and 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: kickers team kicker because because there's no transactions, and if 17 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: your quarterback goes down, you should get the backup automatically. 18 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: And right now you don't know who's gonna start for 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: the Rams. We'll talk about them later at quarterback. So yeah, 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: team quarterback, team kicker is vital. So this episode is 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: dedicated to those playing fantasy football in the playoffs, and 22 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: particularly those who are in leagues that are running through 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: the entire playoffs.

By the way, I 46 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: play with seven this year. I'm playing with exactly seven 47 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: teams because there's four teen teams in the playoffs, Brian. 48 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: That means Brian gets two quarterbacks, two kickers to team defense, 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: I get to everybody gets two of the core you 50 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: know those core positions. Everyone gets uh used up and yeah, 51 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: we're in the league together. And the the first thing 52 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: you have to think about in draft is do I 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: am I gonna go after the guys on by because 54 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: that's they're only gonna they can only play three games max. 55 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: Everyone else technically could play four, correct, Yeah, the game's played. 56 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: Nothing more important than games played, right you? You you 57 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: want to find guys that gonna play three or four 58 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: games ideally because there's so much more valuable. So let 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: me ask you this, Brian, would you rather have an 60 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: elite player who might only get one game or a 61 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: mediocre player who might get three games? As an example, 62 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson or Terry mclaurain guys that look like they're 63 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: gonna only play one game but they're really good. Or 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: would you rather have Sammy Watkins not that great a player, 65 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: doesn't generally perform that well, but he could play three games. Yeah, 66 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: it's a tough call. The elite supposed one and done 67 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: guys like you said, Allan Robins and Terry McLaurin, even 68 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: if they only play one game, they still have potential 69 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: to go plus even thirty plus Fantasy points in a 70 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: losing effort. But I still most times I'd much rather 71 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: have the mediocre guy who's gonna play at least be 72 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: guaranteed to play two games. No one's guaranteed to play 73 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: two games in the playoffs, but yeah, two, three, four, 74 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: I'd rather have games played more time on the field 75 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: than just one guy, you know, one and done scenario. 76 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: Most likely, I think I would too. You know, I'd 77 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: rather have that, don't I'd like to have three shots 78 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: with Sammy Atkins. You know, are four shots of Emmanuel 79 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: Sanders as a possibility. And speaking of that, you know, 80 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: the the teams that are really fascinating, because this year 81 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: is different with the with the one my only one 82 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: team getting to buy So this week's two seeds are 83 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: guy teams that were normally off right, so Buffalo and 84 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: New Orleans, these are really good teams. These were two 85 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: seeds and they're playing so for me, man Bills and 86 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: Saints are really intriguing. Yeah, you'll I don't I don't 87 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: know what league you'll play in, or you'll see non 88 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: Bills going to the first few picks. Josh Allen Stefon 89 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: digs there that they seem like they have the best 90 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: shot to play floor games, and then on on the 91 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: it's way more open on the NFC side, I think. 92 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, you have to think the Saints had a 93 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: good chance, and then the the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 94 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: Bucks have got a chance to play for right, so 95 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: they almost I think they almost certainly end up winning 96 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: against Washington. I respect Washingtons defense a lot, but they're 97 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: just not going to score enough points. With Alex Smith, 98 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: I don't think to to get much done. So you 99 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: feel like the Bucks are almost automatically getting two games, 100 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: and then they're they're good enough to beat almost anybody. 101 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: They destroyed Green Bay earlier in the year, so you 102 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: feel like the Bucks could make the Super Bowl and 103 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: get those get that fourth game, which would be great 104 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: and not. And you also want to take into account 105 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: not like how many games these players are likely to play. 106 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: You have to look at what teams are playing for 107 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: and where they line up in the bracket in the 108 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: first round, in the second round, and third round. You 109 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: don't want to be loaded up on one side of 110 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: the bracket where you're gonna be playing all your players 111 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: against each other. It's just like filling out at n 112 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: C double a bracket. You're not gonna pick teams well, 113 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: not feeling out of bracket. If you're picking winners in 114 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: the games in the n C Double, You don't want 115 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: to play each other early one. You gotta you want 116 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: to wait as long as possible to have your teams 117 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: playing each other. Kickers, defenses, and quarterbacks way more important 118 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: if you're in a system that doesn't let you change 119 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: those out. The reason that kickers and defenses don't mean 120 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: very much in regular fantasy football is I'll score about 121 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: the same they'll score eight points, ten points, twelve points. 122 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: But if your kicker gets knocked out in round one 123 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: and you're not getting at all the eight, ten and 124 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: twelve points and your opponents are, you're a huge disadvantage, 125 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: huge disadvantage. Yeah, you'll see kickers for the more favorite 126 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: teams like that, the Chief the Bills, the Saints. They'll 127 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: be going before players like all of the stud receivers 128 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: that are supposedly gonna be one and don alan rounds 129 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: since Terry mccarnin's they're all way more valuable and safer. Definitely, 130 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: which you hate to say, but do not slough kicker 131 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: defense to the end of your draft. It's hard to 132 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: break the habit. Don't do it here. Yeah, you you almost, 133 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: you almost have to ensure you have at least like one. 134 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: You can't have to two kickers and two defenses that 135 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: are likely to go in the first round or you're 136 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: not going to do well. But you really have to 137 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: invest heavily in at least one of those positions and 138 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: quote unquote elite option mid rounds. Do not be embarrassed 139 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: to be the first person to take a kicker in defense. 140 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: Should you brian stack players from one or two teams 141 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: that you think are gonna do well. It all depends 142 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: on the size of the contest, how many people you're 143 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 1: playing against. If it's our our our seven man league, 144 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: it's it's okay. To diversify more and spread your players around. 145 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: But if you're going for one of these bigger, bigger 146 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: contests online where it's thousands, hundreds, tens of thousands of people, 147 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: you really have to put most of your eggs in 148 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 1: one or two baskets. Make sure they're on opposite sides 149 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: of the bracket in the in the different conferences, and 150 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: uh and and go for the more contrarian teams because 151 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: people aren't going to be looking at the Steelers or 152 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: the Rams if its very contrarian. If I had to 153 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: pick a plausible contrarian play, I think I would take 154 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: the Steelers because you get you get a defense that's 155 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: good enough to win most games and a terrible running game, 156 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: but I get a passing offense that can still generate points. 157 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: I think if I had to pick, if I'm in 158 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: a league with hundreds of thousands, I think that's might 159 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: be my contrarian play would be Pittsburgh. And I would 160 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: do everything in my power to never have my players 161 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: facing each other. Yeah in the big pool. Yeah. Now 162 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: when you get to a smaller pool like our seven 163 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: team league, I think it's the opposite. You really want diversity. 164 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: I don't need lightning to strike and have you know 165 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster score you know four times in the 166 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: playoffs or whatever. I know from my quarterback. I don't 167 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: need my quarterback during my wide. I need to have 168 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: I just don't have diversity. So I still guys left 169 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: at every stage of this thing, and even the one 170 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: and done big name guys can certainly help me out 171 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: more in the smaller pools and in the big ones. 172 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: But I would totally fade that the Allan robbins Is 173 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: and Terry mclaurin's and bigger pools unless I was stacking 174 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: those teams than the focal point your gutsye if you're 175 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: stacking Washington. Yeah, I wouldn't stack Washington. That's a little 176 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: too far down the line to me that I don't 177 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: care what size I'm in. I don't know that I could. 178 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: I could stack Washington given that offense. Defense is good 179 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: enough to help win games. But the thing, even if 180 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: the even they do go two or three games in, 181 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: how much how much do you get out of that offense. 182 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the injured and or COVID 183 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: players that you need to be aware of before you draft. 184 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: Start with Jared Goff. He's got that hand injury. He 185 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: had surgery. He looks unlikely to play, but could be active. 186 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: And again we'll reinforce this is why you have team quarterback. 187 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: Otherwise you essentially couldn't even draft a Ramps quarterback. You 188 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: don't know. You gotta have team quarterback. We want to 189 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: see Wolford play. We'll talk about him a little more, 190 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: but yeah, GoF, I doubt he he plays this week. 191 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: And I don't think say that like an injured Jared 192 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: Goff isn't good when he's healthy. You don't want to 193 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: Goff of the bum thumb out there in a way. 194 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh titen Eric Abron activated off the COVID list. He'll 195 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: be available, great matchup against Cleveland. It is a very 196 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: promising matchup against Cleveland. He's a sneaky play. UH New 197 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: Orleans running back Alvin Kamara has got the expected to 198 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: come off the COVID list on Sunday. He needs to. 199 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: He needs to produce nothing but negative tests from here 200 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: to Sunday. And he tweeted see you on Sunday, and 201 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: I believe him. This isn't a BS tweet like uh 202 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: or Keenan Allen didn't tweet. It's not like Keenan Allen 203 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: saying don't sit me or Josh Jacob saying I'm not playing. 204 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: Kamara loves his fantasy managers, so I'm banking on Kamara. 205 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: Plant Like Kansas City running back Clyde Edwards. Alaire will 206 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: not play this week because obviously the Chiefs are off, 207 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: but he could play after this week's by. He's trying 208 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: to come back from the ankle and hip injuries that 209 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: he's got. Um, you know, we don't have any non 210 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: public insight as to whether or not he's gonna go, 211 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: but the timetable is about right for him to come 212 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: back here. And you know, fantasy managers tend to just 213 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: only remember the last thing they saw, which was his 214 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: gruesome injury. The last thing I saw he was done 215 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: for the year. So yeah, so the reports are encouraging. 216 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: It could just be a little bit of coach speak, 217 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: smoke screen, whatever you want to call it. But I'm 218 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: a little worried about Laire because, uh, Edwards Ali because 219 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: the injury it looks so bad. But uh, I'm keeping 220 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: my eyes not so much on Levy on Bell, but 221 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: Darryl Williams bumping up my draft forwards a little bit, 222 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: and why don't I go both? So I take Clyde 223 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: Edwards Laire who's falling to the mid rounds of fantasy drafts, 224 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: and then last pick of the draft, Darrel will And 225 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, now I'm covered. Ignore Bill, I don't you Bill? Maybe? So? 226 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: Um you know Bell Bell did nothing noteworthy anyway, dude 227 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: looks cooked for a career. In twome eyes, Tampa Bay 228 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver Mike Evans speaking of the last guy we saw, 229 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, going down to the horrible looking injury. They're 230 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: saying he's a game time decision. My hunches that Mike 231 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: Evans will not go in this game. They don't need 232 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: him to beat Washington, and I think they just they 233 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: got to get him healthy so he can help them 234 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: make a super Bowl. Yeah, even if he suits up 235 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: and I wanted to, I feel bad for him because 236 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: he hasn't played in the playoffs. That he's had a 237 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: great long career, but he'll likely see Ronald Darby bad matchup, 238 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: and I think if he's out there, he's more of 239 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: a decoy. Yeah, And um, you know they're deeper receiver. 240 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: They got Scottie Miller and Tyler Johnson you know, they 241 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: got they got options, So okay. Cole Beasley knee injury, 242 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: he seems to be unlikely to play. We don't expect 243 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: to see him. Cooper Cup activated off the COVID list, 244 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: as is Titans kicker Stephen gust Cowse and Mike Thomas 245 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: as well. Oh yeah, thank you, Michael Thomas. Yeah, we 246 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: should mention him practice. You know, he had he was 247 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: on the COVID list. He had the Highchael sprain. It 248 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: appears that he's going to enter this game potentially close 249 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: to which would be great. What are your what's your 250 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: expectations for Michael Thomas. They're dumbed a little bit, but uh, 251 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, the knock on him is all he does 252 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: is run slant routes, but he makes him work, so 253 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: that's like riding a bike. He hasn't forgotten how to 254 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: do that. But I think he'll be in shape. It's 255 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: not like he's been injured, you know. I'm sure he's 256 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: been keeping his legs moving, so I'm expecting. I don't 257 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: know how much you can do with the high Chel sprain, 258 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: but yes, you're right, I don't know. I'm still expecting 259 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: at least Michael Thomas out there, But I'm not. I'm 260 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: not necessarily targeting him in my fantasy drafts, that's for sure. 261 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: It's so tempting because Saints have a great opportunity to 262 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: play four games. Michael Thomas is a great receiver, he 263 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: will be, he'll be great. Well, we don't know the 264 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: quarterbacks even gonna be next year. It's gonna say great 265 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: next I can't tell you the quarterback is, but um, 266 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: it's not Drew Brees. That's what I know. Um. This 267 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: to me, this is as as high risk, high reward 268 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: pick as there is in your draft. If Michael Thomas 269 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: stays healthy and plays four games, he could easily end 270 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: up being the pick that powers you to a fantasy 271 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: playoff victory. But nothing we saw from him all year, 272 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: even when he was on the field, suggests that he's 273 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: ready to do that. Yeah, I'm with you, and I 274 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: don't want to steal your thunder or anything. And you're 275 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: gonna talk about how you kind of like the Rams 276 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: this week. If that's the case Thomas and the Saints win, 277 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: then Thomas gets Jalen Ramsey next week, and that's a 278 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: no go. All right, So let's talk about some of 279 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: our favorite sneaky players and or teams for the playoffs. 280 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: I'll let you go first. Who do you got? The 281 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: Ravens aren't necessarily sneaky, but everyone pretty much expects the 282 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs to go to the super Bowl, so it's like 283 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: a two game at best scenario for the Ravens. Most 284 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: people are thinking. But I think the Ravens could could 285 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: run the table, go all the way to the super Bowl. 286 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: And Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews. They're not going at great discount, 287 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: But I like guys like Marky's Brown, who's been on 288 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: fire by the way the last he's probably been like 289 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: a top five wide receiver, very quietly doing so. But uh, 290 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: Marky's Brown, Miles Boykin, Gus Edwards, Um, even Willie Snead. 291 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: It's just a great matchup against Tennessee, who hasn't had 292 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: a buy since Week four. The Titans over the last 293 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: five weeks have allowed the second most passing touchdowns, the 294 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: third most running back touchdowns, and the most wide receiver touchdowns. 295 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens can put up a lot of 296 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: points in this game. They can put up a lot 297 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: of points against Kansas City, likely to be a shootout. 298 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: Who's gonna be very rusty, by the way, benching all 299 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: their starters in Week seventeen, they're on the buy and 300 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: Ravens arena come in hot. So I think Baltimore could 301 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: run the table. So if you load it up on 302 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: them doing pretty well, if I'll expand on one raven 303 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: that you only touched on, Gus Edwards, is he's available, 304 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: It's like the last pick in your draft. Tennessee gave 305 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: up think the fifth most rushing touchdowns on the year, 306 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: and that's Gus Edwards. Game is these rushing touchdowns. Sure, 307 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: I'd rather have Jake Jake j K Dobbins, but j 308 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: K Dobbins going off the board and you know, much 309 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: much much earlier in the draft as a last pick. 310 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: I like Gus Edwards. He gets he gets enough carries 311 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: to put up some points every week. And you and 312 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: I both think Baltimore is gonna win this game. In advance, 313 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna get at least two games and and maybe more. 314 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: Who wants to play the Ravens right now? What are 315 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: the winners of I think sixth straight. Tennessee is not 316 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: too happy that they drew Baltimore and Dobbins looks great, 317 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: of course, but you'd think the Ravens might lean a 318 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: little more on the veteran edwards in the playoffs, especially 319 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: pass protection scenario stuff like that. Let me give you 320 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: the other sneaky way under the radar guy that I like, 321 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: Rams quarterback John Wolf. The most of you don't know 322 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: anything about him, and I don't blame you, and you 323 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: probably didn't were breaking down his tape from last week's game, 324 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: and I don't blame you for that either. He is 325 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: an a a F quarterback who is highly mobile, and 326 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: we love our moble quarterbacks. He's, by the way, he's 327 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: the cheapest quarterbacks, cheapest starting quarterback on DraftKings. Taysom Hill's 328 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: more expensive than John Wolford is. In DraftKings. You get 329 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: a guy who just ran for sixty yards last week. 330 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: He's going to run more. I believe he'll run more 331 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: in this game. And I know, Brian, you've got some 332 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: Seattle numbers for rushing mobile quarterbacks. Mobile mobile quarterbacks have 333 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: done to Seattle this year. Wolford, we won't call him, 334 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: Cam Newton and Kyler Murray just yet, but still those 335 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: guys had great games on the ground against the Seahawks. 336 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: Newton forty seven yards to rushing touchdowns. Murray had sixty 337 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: seven yards and a touchdown in one game. Uh, Josh 338 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: Allen's quarter rushing touchdown Carson Wentz went over forty yards. 339 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, that they're they're giving up numbers to mobile quarterbacks. 340 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: And Wolford can run. Like you said, he can run, 341 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: and I think they'll run him sum in this game 342 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: they get. Uh, Andrew Whitworth comes back. You know, when 343 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: he suffered his injury, we all thought it was season over. 344 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: He's on the car thumbs up. I mean it's like 345 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: that's it, where he's done for the year. But he's 346 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: back off his torn mc l um, which it is 347 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: great news. And Uh, Jamal Adams all World All Pro 348 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: strong safety for Seattle, who was hurt for the first 349 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: half of the season when Seattle was just giving up 350 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: ridiculous numbers to wide receivers. He came back, they shut 351 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: it all down. But he's injured again. He's a pretty 352 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: much true game time decision. If he doesn't go, that 353 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: would help to that spikes Wolford big time. So you know, 354 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: I think Walford could get at least the sixty rushing 355 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: yards he had last week and then really at that point, 356 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: you almost have a running And by the way, any 357 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: quarterback who runs for sixty yards is like a coin 358 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: flips chance of getting a touchdown in those sixty yards 359 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: and then anything he throws for him just seeing him 360 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: viewing it as a bonus. So I really like Wolford 361 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: and um and that's my probably my favorite convinced me 362 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: I might be a little heavy on him this weekend 363 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: the Daily. I wouldn't blame you. Give me a non 364 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: obvious team that you are avoiding players from. Now, you 365 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: know you don't have to tell people to avoid Bears 366 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: and Washington football team that's obvious. Me a non obvious 367 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: team you're avoiding. Um, it's I'm going back to that 368 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: Baltimore Tennessee game and I'm just, uh, I'm you're gonna 369 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: be tempted to take a J Brown, Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry, 370 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: the big name guys and the and they're following a 371 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: little bit because again they're gonna they would play the 372 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs in the second round, and everyone's assuming the Chiefs 373 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: are going to the super Bowl. But yeah, those those 374 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: names are still going pretty high. And I think there's 375 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: very real cause for concern that they lose to the 376 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: Ravens in this one. I like the Ravens more so. 377 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: Even though they're the big names like A. J. Brown 378 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry a little suppressed when it comes to 379 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: a DP, it's still very high for a playoff league, 380 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 1: so I'm just avoiding them entirely. I might take some 381 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: Titans way late if I need to fill some spots, 382 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: like at Anthony Berks or Adam Humphrey's the type guy. 383 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: But uh, as far as a big Nameth, yeah, he's 384 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: been slipping too, and I think he had a good 385 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: game in the raven These teams did play earlier in 386 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: the year and the Tennessee did win, but I'm not 387 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: looking into that too much. Baltimore looks a whole lot 388 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: better right now. That was the last loss of Baltimore 389 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: hadn't Week eleven against the Scene. They've won every game 390 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: since then. So for me, and I've already alluded to it, 391 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: I think Seattle is going to lose. Listen to the 392 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: quarterback Seattle has faced since Week twelve, when it feels 393 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: like their defense, you know, their their past defense was 394 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: on this historically bad run to open the season, and 395 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: at one point they were averaging like three almost four 396 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: hund passing yards of game is crazy numbers. Since Week twelve, 397 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: they have faced Carson Wentz, benched, Colt McCoy backup Sam 398 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: Donald going to be benched next year when the Jets 399 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: have the second overall pick and pick a new quarterback 400 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins benched and then later released. Jared Goff won't 401 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: play in this game. C J. Beathard third string quarterback. 402 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: That's the quarterback Seattle is faced and during that stretch. 403 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: And by the way, most of these most of these 404 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: guys are bad defenses too. I mean, there's are bad quarterbacks, 405 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: generally have bad teams and generally with bad defenses. And 406 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: Seattle averaging just it was, allowing just fourteen points per 407 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: game has given us this percept that they're pretty good. 408 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: But they're scoring only twenty points per game. That's not 409 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: going to be enough to get you very far in 410 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I don't think this is a rounded based 411 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: on the Seattle team we've seen, and tons of respect 412 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson, but just what the way he's played, 413 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,239 Speaker 1: their inability to run the ball, I just don't The 414 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: teams that they've beat just aren't good enough. I'm nervous 415 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: about the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah, that would that's the best 416 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: chance for an upset. I'm not going to call the 417 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: Ravens over the Titans and upset. That's not favorite, are they? Okay? 418 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I thought it would have been. 419 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: I believes probably like a half a point or a point, 420 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: but still essentially a coin from And let's not forget 421 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: the passing numbers. Are Russell Wilson not good against the 422 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: Rams this year? And zero touchdowns two interceptions in the 423 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: first game and and just one passing touchdown in Week sixteen. 424 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you cause for concern, and I'm 425 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: upset because I have uh Russell Wilson and Chris Carson 426 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: in our league. Because I had the first overall pick. 427 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: I took Josh Allen first, and when it came back 428 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: to me, I wanted to go l Jacks, but I 429 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: didn't want my quarterbacks facing each other in the a 430 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: f C Championship potentially. But I'm regretting it. Lamar is 431 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: gonna be regretting it now. Baltimore is favored by three points, 432 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: opened it three and it's held at three. Interesting that 433 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: that's in Tennessee, correct, because they're the division champs. Yes, 434 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: I believe it read home dogs. How about that? Yeah, 435 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: well that's you know, that's a dangerous spot. Home dog 436 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: never feels great, does it. But the home field advantage 437 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: this year teams went across the NFL. Home teams went 438 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: one game under five hundred this year at home, well, 439 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: there really was no advantage for the most part. Tennessee. 440 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: The travel bakes and did you hear out I didn't 441 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: read too much into it or dive into it too 442 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: much of with Sean Payton had a crazy idea to 443 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: basically test fifty people and have them live in the 444 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: super do them all week so they could be there 445 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: for the game. It's crazy. He's still crazy enough to 446 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: uh come up with something like that. But people would 447 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: probably do it for the Super Bowl. I saw. I 448 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: saw one report that said the NFL is considering only 449 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: putting vaccinated healthcare workers in the Super Bowl building. Where 450 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: is it Tampa? Yeah, I believe it. I think it's 451 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: Tampa And they've been letting some fans in Florida Florida.
