Welcome to the first 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: episode playoff edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul Charchi 7 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: in My co host today is Brian Johnson. Hi, Brian. 8 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: We've done the show twenty five years now. We've never 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: gone into the off season at all, including the postseason 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: first time ever. Yeah, normally it's a pack up after 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: Week sixteen and it's see uh August, even though we 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: do see each other in the off season, but yeah, 13 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: not behind the mike unless we're podcasting, but yeah, which 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: we do as well. Um, this is gonna be fun. 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,639 Speaker 1: What I instead of breaking down the week seventeen matchups, 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: because you really should not be crowning your champion in 17 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: week seven team you already know that, and you know, 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: I think our listeners aren't doing it that way. The 19 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: other five percentage is stubborn and they've heard all the 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: rationale and I'm not gonna get into that. We're gonna 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: spend this podcast talking about the playoffs because most people 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: are gonna hear this Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday of 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: next week. Rolling in the playoffs plaoffs Fantasy football is 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: so much fun and you get redemption. Most of us 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,279 Speaker 1: didn't win our leagues, right one in twelve did one intended? Um, 26 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: here's some redemption and a chance to extend the fun. 27 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about all the different ways you can 28 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: play playoffs fantasy football. But first, before we dive into 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: that too much, you can also keep playing DFS as well. 30 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: If that Week seventeen is really made for is this 31 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: it is for dfs? Now? My my over urging strategy 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: is don't get cute with the teams with nothing to 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: play for. Yes, you can go out and chase the 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third or even like the Dumpster Diver 35 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: teams like, but you never know and there is some 36 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: danger with that. Right. Does Miami decide they want to 37 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: get a look at one last look at Josh Rosen 38 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: right out one? You just cook, you know, you just 39 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: you just started, Davante Parker. So I like the key 40 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: in on the teams that still have something to play for. 41 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: And we can run through those really quick. So the 42 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: teams that have made the playoffs but are locked in 43 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: probably gonna arrest their starters. Baltimore, Buffalo and Buffalo, Minnesota 44 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: fade all those guys teams that made the playoffs. But 45 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: it's still very fluid. I something to play for New England, 46 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: Kansas City, San Francisco, New Orleans, Green Bay, Seattle, and 47 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: even Houston, who can move up to three and knock 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: out their division rival Tennessee and then winning in Tennessee 49 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: and Philadelphia and in with some help is Pittsburgh, Oakland 50 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: and Dallas. So those are the only teams I'm advocating 51 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: for DFSC usage really because you know they're gonna play 52 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: to win to all their starters. You know there's some 53 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: teams out there that may not be playing to win 54 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: in Week seventeen. Oh yeah, like draft position change, there's 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: you know, don't just avoid the mess of the Washington's 56 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: and the Giants and the Jets and all that. What 57 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: do you think about teams like Chicago playing against a 58 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: Viking team that has nothing to play for? You know, 59 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: David Montgomery could easily go off. Vikings will be missing 60 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: two of their starting linebackers and who knows how many 61 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: by injury for injury, and then they might just rest 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: most of the rest of their starting defense. Yeah, but 63 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: you never know, like third string running back on the 64 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: batters could be coaches pet and he's gonna get a 65 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: run in this game. So there's so many unknown it's 66 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: clearly not David Montgomery right. That much we can say 67 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: with a degree of certainty. All right, if you want 68 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: to try DFS week seventeen, please go to famball dot 69 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: com and we have super Flex DFS as well, which 70 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: is super fun. Super Flex. So when you're playing playoffs, 71 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: let's turn our attention back to the playoffs and playoff 72 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: fantasy football first, just some overarching things, and then we're 73 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: gonna actually talk about some of the formats you might 74 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: want to try in your leagues. First, test drive new 75 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: ideas here. If you've got um, if you for your 76 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: main league, if you've always wanted to try this thing auctioning, 77 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: you want to update your scoring system to something else, 78 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: you want to go PPR, if you want to try 79 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: super flex, you know, whatever, This is the time to 80 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: test drive those ideas with especially reluctant owners in your league, 81 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: like the auction is a great example. People get all 82 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: get there, get all nervous about an auction. It's gonna 83 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: take too long. It's it's too hard. I can't get 84 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: drunk at the draft all that stuff, test drive the 85 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: auction for your for your fantasy of the playoffs, and 86 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: we always say it everyone should be auctioning in their 87 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: regular leagues, but it's it's a scary notion for a 88 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: lot of people to do that. But I love like 89 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: dipping your toes in the water in the playoffs. But 90 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: no one ever goes back from auctioning them don't when 91 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: it goes back. So what scoring system changes or another one. 92 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: Maybe you want to try fantasy without kickers or with kickers, 93 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: or you know, whatever you want to do, this is 94 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: the time to do it. I've had a lot of 95 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: people ask me if you can run a guillotine league 96 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and I think you can. Why not? Um, 97 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: this would be at has to test your water on 98 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: the test the waters for a guillotine league. And here's 99 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: how you do it. You'd start with eight teams and 100 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: you had chopped two every week. I think you could 101 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: do it with four teams and chop one every week. 102 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: But I think eight teams the bottom scoring two every 103 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: week get chopped. I think you'd have to do large, big, 104 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: bigger rosters here because you're not going to be redrafting, 105 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: and you're not gonna be using free agency. You're gonna 106 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: you're just gonna hold all the guys you have. But 107 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: and part of the fun of Guillotine League really is 108 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: is the redraft is getting going after those free agents. 109 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: But so in a perfect Guillotine League, Brian, I think 110 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: you would. So if you and I get cut in 111 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs, all of our players 112 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: become available, and ideally the surviving players could have a 113 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: redraft of all of the players in the playoffs, including mine, 114 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: including my guys that got dropped in your guys that 115 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: got dropped you. Because you really wouldn't want to draft 116 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: players on a bike in the Guillotine League, right, there's 117 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: no super dangerous So you're gonna have to do a 118 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: redrafted for you every week. I think you're right, So, 119 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: or you have to have really deep rosters so that 120 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: you're bye week guys you know just aren't starters. You're 121 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: not losing that much. One of the things as a 122 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: broad top before we get into the specific things. Where 123 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: to host these is a real problem for people. When 124 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: we were talking about this on Twitter and I'm at 125 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: Paul Charchi and Brian is at bt x J, people like, well, 126 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: this all sounds great, but where do I play this? 127 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: And you know, for all of these great ideas, mostly 128 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: I think you have two options. Play at My Fantasy League, 129 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: which is free in the playoffs. It's a service that 130 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: does all. It does everything basically, but it's not it's 131 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: not the world's easiest service, but it's free and if 132 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: you dork around with it, you'll probably get it to 133 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: your settings. Or you're just gonna do it by hand. 134 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna do it all. You're gonna do it yourself. 135 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: You're gonna do an Excel, or you're gonna do it 136 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: in a Google doc, or you're gonna do it by facts. 137 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: If you're gonna you're gonna do it by smoke signal 138 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: to the rest of the league, whatever text message. I 139 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: think you're gonna you're gonna go old school on it. Yeah. 140 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: The advocate for MFL my Fantasy League, I mean they 141 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: charged what seventy bucks the league for the regular seasons 142 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: of getting to do it for free. That is uh 143 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: as a definite bonus. And like you said, it's very customizable, 144 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: a little tough to use, but you you get the 145 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: hang of it pretty quick. Yeah. I like my Fantasy 146 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: League and the people behind it. They're great. Um, although 147 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: as you can probably do it offline ESPN and Yahoo. 148 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: I look today Brian today and it's this is the 149 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: week before the playoffs. As a recordings, they don't have 150 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: anything live right now, but I think they both have 151 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: playoff fantasy games. But you gotta play their style. They 152 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 1: gotta play their game and that's it. There's no customize ability. 153 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of us are doing on spreadsheet. 154 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: That's my playoff league has been running on spreadsheet for 155 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: twenty years, my playoff Fantasy League. So there's there's all 156 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: of that. Let's not too laborious with only three four 157 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: weeks of action and now, yeah, you can do it 158 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: by hand. It's not too bad, and honestly, in some 159 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: ways it for those of us that did it by 160 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: hand for a long time in the eighties and the nineties. 161 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: For me that I did too, we've been you're young 162 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: enough to have done that, Yeah, okay, then yeah, it's 163 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: just yeah, it's a little it feels at old school. 164 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: It's a little fun like it used to be. I 165 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to do it every week, but I don't 166 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: mind do it in the playoffs. Broadly, in the playoffs 167 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: for fantasy football, you have two decisions to make. Are 168 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: you playing a traditional fantasy style league with like eight 169 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: teams and a draft or something like that, or are 170 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: you doing a style of play Brian that could apply 171 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: to a hundred leagues or a hundred players or a 172 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: thousand players in pool leagues. So I'm broadly calling like 173 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: fantasy style playoff leagues and then pool leagues. The pool leagues. Again, 174 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: every unlimited number of players shared player pool in a 175 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: pool league. The fantasy style is is much like what 176 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: you what we run during the season, all right, So 177 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: let's uh, I want to break down some fantasy league 178 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: styles here. First, here's the league I've been in for 179 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: whatever reason. We'll call this the charge Fan the chart 180 00:08:52,960 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: playoff fantasy league. Exactly six teams in each league because 181 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: there are twelve playoff teams. That way, you can call 182 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: them conferences almost right, Well, they're not really. Um, so 183 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: there are six I I play with six teams in 184 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: my playoff league and the six teams. That means Brian 185 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: gets two team quarterbacks. Because there are twelve NFL teams 186 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, I get to team quarterbacks. You get 187 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: two team kickers. I get two team kickers, etcetera, etcetera. 188 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: So the way I play is to two team quarterbacks, 189 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: four running backs, four receivers, two tight ends, and two 190 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: team kicker and two team defense. So that's that's the 191 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: format that I use. And once you take the Patriots 192 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: quarterback or whichever team, then I can't take the Patriots 193 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and it's team quarterback because there's no pickups, there's 194 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: no drops, there's no ads. You just you you draft 195 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: everybody and you just score everybody that's still alive. Um, 196 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: there's no moves, there's no bench. You just everybody scores. 197 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: That's that is how I play. Now do of a 198 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: particular by by the way, as a as a side 199 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: note here, do you have a preference for trying to 200 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: draft wild card teams or avoiding wild card teams because 201 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: that's the key delineator of success in a playoff fantasy team. 202 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: It is very polarizing strategy to either fade the playoff 203 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: teams or draft that the wild card teams, I'm sorry, 204 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: because it's one way or another they're gonna get bounced 205 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: early or you have like as a as a former 206 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: Giants fan or a Giants fan on hold, that's when 207 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,599 Speaker 1: the teams get hot going into the wild like and 208 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: they yeah, and then you accumulate more points, and especially 209 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 1: then we'll get into the formats where you know, the 210 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: points double each round. You gotta sit on teams with 211 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: a bye until the second round. Even know, even though 212 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: you get teams get double points, you get a goose 213 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: egg in the wild card rounds you're not playing of course, 214 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: But generally in general, I don't really know. It depends 215 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: on the year really which way I'm gonna go with 216 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: it depends on the wild card team. As of right now, 217 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm not feeling too good about the vikings. I don't know, 218 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: but in general I would still just don't even look 219 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: at if they're a wild card, if they have a 220 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: bye or a division winner, just how well I think 221 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna do moving board in the playoffs. And here's 222 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: why I I draft lots of wild card teams, and 223 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: here's why one I get four game upside. So the 224 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: only way I can get The only way you can 225 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: get four games out of your player is if it 226 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: go you go wild Card to super Bowl. And you 227 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: may say to yourself, well, that never happens, but in 228 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: reality it happens pretty often, like wy not ever every 229 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: four years you've got a wild card team that gets 230 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Maybe it's even one every three 231 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: I should really run the analysis at some point. Um, 232 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: you mentioned the Giants, the Steelers did it not that 233 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: long ago. It's it's it's by no means impossible to do. 234 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: You really can do it. Um. So there's that, which 235 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: is uh, which is one of the reasons I like it. 236 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: The other is this. If I told you that, let's 237 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: he took the the the Ravens, and the Ravens were 238 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: gonna get knocked out, and they were gonna make it 239 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: a the f C Championship game and get knocked out, 240 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: you feel like, well, it's pretty good. I got to 241 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: the a f C Championship game. I got one game 242 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: away from the playoffs, but the Ravens only played two games. 243 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: If I get a wild card winner, I got two games. 244 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: All I need is a wild card winner, and I 245 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: got the equivalent of a team that got to buy 246 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: getting to the championship game. You know what I mean. 247 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: It's the same two teams, same two games. I'm looking 248 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: for the number of games. I like the wild card teams. 249 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: I would lean that way as well. All right, let's 250 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: talk about some other options. You can redraft before every 251 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: round starting in you can redraft basically, you know, you 252 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: can have a full redraft after every round. This takes 253 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: a committed group of owners. Have you ever Have you 254 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: ever done it this way? I have not. I would, 255 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: I would be that committed, but I've had trouble finding 256 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: owners that committed they would partake in this format. But 257 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: I like, I think you do it in the office. Yeah, 258 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: so you go, okay, every week of the season or 259 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: every week of the playoffs on Tuesday, we're all going 260 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: out to lunch every Tuesday, and we're gonna help draft 261 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: for that week's games, and you pick whatever you know, 262 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: you pick whatever roster size you want. But it can 263 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: be a smaller roster size if you're doing it this way, 264 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: because nobody's gonna draft by week teams and by the 265 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: time you get to the Super Bowl, you're only drafted. 266 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: There's only there's only two quarterbacks we had now if 267 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna do it this way. One of the things 268 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: that people will do, Brian, I find this in fascinating. 269 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: If you're gonna redraft after everyone, after, every after, every week, 270 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: knowing that like there's only two quarterbacks of the playoffs, 271 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: no roster requirement, none, you don't have to fill a 272 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: quarterback spot, just all flex. It's an all flex roster. 273 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: Why not you could just all flex roster whatever whatever. Yes, 274 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: so then you can keep drafting all the way to 275 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: the super Bowl and when the two quarterbacks go off 276 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: the board, find you're just not you know, you're you're 277 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna go running back or whatever. So in 278 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: all flex roster. So I think that works. Um, how 279 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: about this as a variant, And by the way, thanks 280 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: to the people on it, they gave me some of 281 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: the variations they've got. As an in using an auction format, 282 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: and you auction between every round, but the money you 283 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: spend in the first round is gone. The auction amount 284 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: does not reset. So if you save a bunch of 285 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: money in the first round, you can go to the 286 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: second round and get and and you've got you control, 287 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, you might control the boards. You've got the 288 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: most money at that point. And what would you recommend 289 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: just going cheap on wild card players in the first 290 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: round and then saving all your money for the Lamar 291 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: Jackson's and the But somebody could drive, somebody could auction 292 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in the first round, sit on him for 293 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: a week, right, Although if you're doing a fresh auction 294 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: with all new players, then yeah, you would save money 295 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: knowing Lamar Jackson's coming, So you could do auctioning that way. 296 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: But I like the part where you just don't reset 297 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: the cap between every round. You've given advantage of those 298 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: people that have saved some money. All right, I want 299 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: to take a quick break, and then I want to 300 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: talk about the pool, so you can how you can 301 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: play fantasy. How you can play fantasy to scare l 302 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: to ten people or fifty people or a hundred people. 303 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: Are a thousand people in the playoffs. When we come 304 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: back right after this, okay, Brian, we're back Fantasy Football Weekly. 305 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: I am Paul Charge and Brian Johnson. UM play if 306 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: you would the NFC postseason hold Him game. This is 307 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: through Fanball. It's got a price pool of one hundred 308 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars. I believe life changing life changing 309 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: money in the playoffs and FC dot s h g 310 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: N dot com. That's too hard, that's too hard, But yeah, 311 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's the NFC postseason hold him 312 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: and each week, the way it works is and by 313 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: the way, it's two dollars to play, so it's not 314 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: cheap to get into, but it's a hundred twenty five 315 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: thousand dollar payout um each week. The number of points 316 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: an NFL player earns gets multiplied by the number of 317 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: consecutive weeks that player has been on your roster. So again, 318 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: if you can get that four week wild card run 319 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: your multiplier, it's times four on your Super Bowl players 320 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: who came from the wild card, which, by the way, 321 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: that's how you win this thing. Yeah, I agree. Um again, 322 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: it's the NFC postseason hold them.

I know 330 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: you've got you've got some pools you want to talk about. 331 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: I've got a couple of them here as well. Do 332 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: you want to go first or second? Well, mine is 333 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: more actually around the teams and not the players, and 334 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: there are a limited number of participants, So you go first, 335 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: and then I'll go over it. People just want to, 336 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: you know, are afraid to do fantasy for whatever reason. 337 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: You can still just play playoff games with using the 338 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: teams and there's a lot of fun thos do I know? 339 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: But still I do both. But al right, okay, twelve 340 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: position here'saying so there's a pool that again you could 341 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: send this off to everybody in your contact list, twelve 342 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: positions to fill using players from all twelve teams, one 343 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: player per team, So if you choose Patrick Moomes, you 344 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: can't have Travis Kelsey, right, and so it's you. You know, 345 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: you've got twelve positions, you know, probably the ones we 346 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: talked about before. Two quarterbacks, uh, you know, three running backs, 347 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: to receivers to uh, two kickers to defense, two tight ends. 348 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: You fill those out, but only one player per team 349 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: and NF actual and NFL team um, and then you 350 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: can So that's you know, that's one way to go, 351 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: and then you just let that ride. Also, you just 352 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: let that You just let that roster ride the whole time. 353 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: So you would think kicker and defense or the two 354 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: you could part with easiest, easiest, But maybe I don't 355 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: know if that's the Cowboys, but I don't know. It's 356 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: funny you bring that up. Quarterbacks and kickers are way 357 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: more valuable in playoff because they're sure points. And the 358 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: reason we don't draft them very highly in fantasy is 359 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: because all quarterbacks are the same, All kickers are the same, 360 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: All defenses are the same, are they You know, they 361 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of variation, But when you don't 362 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: have one at all because your team has been knocked out, 363 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: that's a huge differential, huge differential. And so I take 364 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: quarterbacks early and all my playoffs stuff, and even the 365 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: kickers and the defenses, and there are a lot of 366 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: people that are so ingrained into not taking them. I 367 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: think it's a huge advantage. Another playoff pool option. Every 368 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: round is basically a redraft where you pick one quarterback, 369 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: in this case a quarterback, a running back, a wide receiver, 370 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: tight end. For the playoffs. That's only one two three 371 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: four four four positions, but you can only pick You 372 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: can't pick a player twice. So you compare players together 373 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 1: in the same week, like homes and kill. Yes, I 374 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: can never use them again. Use them. You've got to 375 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: figure out when you're gonna go pick your spots with 376 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: those plays. And I like that angle. You could go 377 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: a deeper roster than just one quarterback, one running back, 378 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: one tight end, one one wide receiver if you wanted to, 379 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: including kicker and defense. But I like the part that 380 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: you can't you can't pick another you can't pick the 381 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: player against. You gotta apply a little strategy to that. 382 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: Espen's got something called the grid Iron Playoff Challenge. It's 383 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: a salary cap game, and players salaries increase every week, 384 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: but you get to hold the old salary from whenever 385 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: you added that guy. So if you had a wild 386 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: card guy and he's winning and winning his salary cap, 387 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: his team's winning, his salary cap is gonna keep going up, 388 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: but not for you because you locked him in early. 389 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: This is a sitting on a players with a bye scenario. Again, 390 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: we're like Lamar Jackson will be five bucks on his 391 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: by and then ten, but you you get him for 392 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: five if you just willing to sit out on that 393 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: and sit on the player. Yeah, but we're we're you 394 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: and I were kind of advocating not to do that. 395 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I like having the games under 396 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: my belt. I don't know teams all the times to Yeah, 397 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: absolutely talk to me about this team based one that 398 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: you're you're mentioned. There's two. There's a confidence pools and 399 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: NFL uh they're called takeover pools. The competence pools are easy. 400 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: You can have any number of users, players whatever in 401 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: your league and you take all twelve playoff teams. Can 402 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: you assigned confidence points to them? One through twelve. You 403 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: can only use one number each. And if I put 404 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: a twelve on a team, it's my most confidence, the 405 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: most confidence in that team, and every time the team wins, 406 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: you get that points. And again, UH, teams that are 407 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: on by a fewer opportunities to win. So there's strategy there. 408 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: If you put your twelve points on a wild card 409 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: team and they make a run, I think I would. 410 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: I would be tempted to put my all my top 411 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: six points, my numbers twelve, eleven, ten, at nine eight. 412 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: I think that's six. Maybe it nots for uh seven 413 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: six all wild cards, every one of them wild cards. 414 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: Now I don't have to figure out which wild card 415 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 1: teams are going to advance, but I'd be rolling the 416 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: dice that some of them are going to advance. And 417 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: because one always gets hot, you could just say, well, 418 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: you know what, I want the Ravens and I want 419 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: the twelve points, and I would get that and I'd 420 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: probably put the I. But if I'm in a big pool, 421 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: you have to go contrarian to some degree, don't you. Definitely? 422 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,479 Speaker 1: Definitely you know so pool size is a variable here too, right, 423 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: if you've got a pool with hundred players, you have 424 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: to go contrarian. You can't. There's a little bit like 425 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: a March Madness pool. You have to at some point, 426 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: you just have you have to get a little bit lucky, 427 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: and you have to be the guy that's that figured 428 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: out which underdog was going to win some games that 429 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: nobody saw coming. If you're in a small pool with 430 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: ten people or eight people or twelve people or whatever, 431 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: you can go and just make one contrarian pick. But yeah, 432 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: I'm with you. If you want to ship the whole thing, 433 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta be unique, stand out, and uh 434 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: put more than one point on the Vikings, don't you 435 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: think you right? I'm sorry to say that to this 436 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: And we're better Viking fans here in Minnesota right now 437 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: as they just got handled by the Packers. This one's 438 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: stung in a way that I was not. I was 439 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: not necessarily prepared well in the takeover pool. What there's 440 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: hope for the Vikings because the takeover pool involves the spread, 441 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: so you can you Uh, it works best with twelve 442 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: or six people. So either with twelve people everyone gets 443 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: a team, or six people each get two teams at 444 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: the started playoffs. Uh I, I suggest you pick them 445 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: rather than like drawing out of a hat or whatever 446 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: to a draft. But basically you have your two teams 447 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: like I have. Let's say the Vikings and the Saints 448 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: play right, I got the Vikings plus six and a half. 449 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: You have the Saints my cover. I take over your 450 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: team even though the Saints won because I covered my 451 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: six and a half. Yeah, I take your team over 452 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: because the Vikings are lost there but the one for me. 453 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: But I take your team over. And if I had 454 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: the Saints and then just keep and I'm done. That's 455 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: kind of cool. It's it's fun. And then whoever has 456 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: the super Bowl winner against the read at the end 457 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: is the winner. Oh so it's just last team standing. However, 458 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: whoever whichever team against the spread ended up winning, all right, 459 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: so you gotta start with exactly twelve or six six? 460 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,959 Speaker 1: You gotta start with sex right, Well, he neither with 461 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: twelve people, it's one team. We each have one team 462 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: for the whole thing. Or with six people we have 463 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: two teams. Couldn't go twenty four players, No, I could, 464 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: because they don't all play at the same time. Twelve 465 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: the most, I think, because the most games you have 466 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: in anyone you can do anything visible. By twelve, Really, 467 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: we could do this head to head we each have 468 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: six teams. Yeah, but right, that would be weird because 469 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: then I have both my teams playing against each other 470 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: probably in some but yeah, it's it's fun. It's easy, 471 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: and it's fun. One other reminder for for any of these, 472 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: any of these pool systems. If you want to simplify 473 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: the funds for all these and especially these big pools 474 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: that could be fifty or a hundred, use leaks. Say, 475 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: for the love of God, all you have to do 476 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: is just send a link and everybody just pays on 477 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: that link and we hold all the funds for the 478 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: for the duration of the NFL playoffs and at the 479 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: end you tell who won, and we released all the 480 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: funds of the winners. It's couldn't be easier. And most 481 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: these playoff leagues, it seems like people are playing for 482 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: ten bucks. Twenty bucks man getting ten bucks from fifty 483 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: people who wants that. Good look, just use League Safe. 484 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: We encourage you to try that. And by the way, 485 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of playoffs leagues.

That'll I'm gonna be 493 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: sharper rolling into next year's preseason shows and I've ever 494 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: been and um, and that means we're gonna be breaking 495 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: down all kinds of stuff throughout the off season. The 496 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,239 Speaker 1: free agency moves, you know, all the things that, you know, 497 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: rule changes, format changes that we want to talk about, 498 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: quilloteen leagues, the NFL draft, Bestball. We can start talking 499 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: best Ball a DP practically right now. I know they're 500 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: they're going to that for another show. When do people 501 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: start drafting best ball for? Basically when the confetti starts 502 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: falling at the Super Bowl? Alright, it's about it, all right, 503 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: it's early February, it starts going, it's unreal. And then 504 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: next week and although throughout the playoffs we'll break down 505 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: more of the actual games that are happening fantasy style 506 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: and talk through that a little bit for DFS players 507 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: and just other people who care about what's what's coming 508 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: up from from a game impact standpoint. Now for those 509 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: in the Crush Charts Championship on fanball dot Com, if 510 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: you're not in the Crushed Charts Championship because still play 511 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: DFS on fanball dot Com, of course, I got like 512 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: three or four players real quick, can I throw them 513 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: out there? Some favorites were me at each position. And again, 514 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: these are teams that are playing for something. These are 515 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: only the players I'm targeting. Ryan Tannehill at Houston three 516 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: touchdowns and three straight for Tannehill, including Houston two weeks ago, 517 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: Houston getting flamed by virtually everyone at secondaries old and 518 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: not good, and Houston might fold up shop in a 519 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: game that Tennessee desperately needs to win, winning in so 520 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: unlocking Tannie Hill, Hill and all my lineups all right? 521 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: Running Back Alvin Kamara Over the last five weeks, Carolina 522 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: conceding a hundred and nine plus combo yards and two 523 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: whole touchdowns per game to opposing running backs. Camar didn't 524 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: score in the first meeting, did top a hundred comboy yards, 525 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: but in his previous four against the Panthers total five touchdowns. 526 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: I think he goes off. But wait, how expensive is he? He'sily, 527 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: he's upper echelon back. It's gonna be like seven thousand something. 528 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: Or he's affordable. Though he's affordable. But what about Littavius Murray, 529 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: who's dirt cheap and backup runners get paid against Carolina 530 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: because they're so bad? I like it? Why not both? Well, yeah, 531 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: the rare running, the rare running back stack. It might work, 532 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: it really might. And Murray has done nothing for weeks. 533 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: Nobody's taking Littavius Murray right now. I like it. I 534 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: like that cult charge Berry Concherion and and you know 535 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: the Saints are going to the playoffs, why not work 536 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: Littavius Murray and a one sided affair against Will Greer 537 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: in which they're gonna be ahead. Why not save Alvin 538 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: Kamara up for the playoffs. You need him to be 539 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: special in the playoffs. You need him to be healthy 540 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: on that that ankle he's been nursing all season long. 541 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: Why not run Latavius Murray. You've containst me the flip flop, 542 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: I like, all right? Real quick receiver Julian Edelman at 543 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: home against the Dolphins. So Miami slot corner Joe Maul 544 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: will wilt wilts well, and he's out, Oh he's out. 545 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: He's too bad this week. Well, I don't know if 546 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: they have anyone. Well, there's there's somebody. There's somebody wearing 547 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: a number that starts with a two or three that's 548 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: gonna try to guard him. And God don't even knows 549 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: who that guy is gonna be. But he's worse than 550 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: Joe Moo Wilts. My guts telling me this, regardless of 551 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: it's Joe Maul or Joe Joel Moleman. Edelman quiet in 552 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,239 Speaker 1: the first meeting. It's not It's not Hans Moleman. I'm 553 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: pretty sure I was seeing bootenns Uh. Edelman quiet when 554 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: New England won forty three to nothing. Under standable, but 555 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: his previous five against Miami logged at least seven catches 556 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: in every game, at least seventy yards, receiving total five 557 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 1: touchdowns in those five games. I like Edelman a lot. 558 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: Only worries just the you know, the usage has been 559 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: so low with him because he's got so many injuries head, shoulder, chest. 560 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: I believe he was field enough last week though, right, 561 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: I don't have a snapcount in front of me, but 562 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: just the usage the last few weeks has been low. 563 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: He hasn't popped off in a while. I just feel 564 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: one coming in week sevent. Yeah, I look the matchup. 565 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: The matchup certainly sings. What about Brady. Nobody wants Brady, right, 566 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: he's been so mundane roughly. I looked this up a 567 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: couple of days ago. He's going to finish in most 568 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: of my league's right around quarterback in that range. Brady 569 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: is nobody's interested in him. But obviously the matchup those 570 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: golden and you know Miami wins this. There the Clints 571 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: the number two seed, so they'll have no problem just yeah, 572 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. New England will have no problem running it 573 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: up and you know, airing it out because they're gonna 574 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: have a bye week coming up. So yeah, I like 575 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: the Brady called too. And then lastly, my boy, Jacob 576 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: Hollis or a tight end uh at home against San 577 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: Francisco the Hammer Game, the night game for the NFC 578 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: West Championship eight for sixty two in the touchdown when 579 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: these teams met in Week ten, and over the last 580 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: four weeks, the Niners defense has fallen off and really 581 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: as they've yielded the most red zone target gets end 582 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: touches to opposing tight ends who have collectively averaged six 583 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: catches for sixty nine yards and one whole touchdown during 584 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: that four weeks span. So, Jacob Hollis, Niners defense has 585 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: been much worse broadly, not just tight ends broadly lately, 586 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: but they've also been injured all over the place. I 587 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: think they get virtually everybody back for this one. Richard 588 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: Sherman came back for most of the last game, Kwan Williams, 589 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 1: d Ford. They've been you know, it's been, they've been 590 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, the injuries have been really a problem for them. 591 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: But I think they're getting healthy now and then perhaps 592 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. See this is where the Niners gonna 593 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: be sneaky in the playoffs. People have seen this inconsistent 594 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: Niners defense for the last month. If they're all getting 595 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: back to healthy again, that Niners defense aregularly the best 596 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: in the league. If whenever when, when it's all hands 597 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: on deck, so um, I think they're I think they're 598 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,239 Speaker 1: gonna be a little under the radar Niners and if 599 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: they're a wild card team, will stack that baby. George 600 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: Kittle will be a very popular pick if the Niners 601 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: are a wild card team, if they potentially the first 602 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: overall player maybe even I mean, who knows, although Lamar 603 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: Jackson's gonna be the first player taken and all of them, 604 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: I think. All right, Brian, thanks for all for helping 605 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: this podcast.
