Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Ringer Network alongside Frankie standfll I
Speaker 1: am Greg's reggae. We're finally here, We're here, We're here.
Speaker 1: Is that? This is everything on the line. Week sixteen,
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Football Championship. Week fifteen is in the books.
Speaker 1: Slobber knocker last night, Greg, I hope you took the over.
Speaker 1: Just kidding the Panther Saints game last night. Uh, that's
Speaker 1: that's the bet everyone loved, Greg, That's the bet everyone loved.
Speaker 1: Twelve nine your final score. But at least we gotta
Speaker 1: pick two out of the game. You don't see that.
Speaker 1: You don't see the pick too often. You don't see that.
Speaker 1: Probably the most fun part of that game last night,
Speaker 1: And unfortunately for you, Greg, watching Cam Newton suck once again,
Speaker 1: watching Alvin Kamara do awesome once again, it was not
Speaker 1: fun for you. No, sorry, Bud. Not a great night.
Speaker 1: You got the next time, Greg, get him next time, semifinals.
Speaker 1: He made it to the semifinals. Man. Not many people
Speaker 1: can say that, especially on this network. Nothing the playoffs.
Speaker 1: This yeah, not about the payoffs. It's whether you finish
Speaker 1: or not. Brutal, man, brutal. I'm sorry, man, you know
Speaker 1: what I really touchdown? I thought you had a good
Speaker 1: shot to you know, for those wondering what's going on?
Speaker 1: What you had a two point lead, right, two point lead,
Speaker 1: Cam Newton versus Alvin Kamara in a standard league. Something
Speaker 1: seriously seriously wrong with Cam Newton right now. I think
Speaker 1: we realized that last night. Pretty cool tweet from Josh
Speaker 1: Norris about uh the NFL next sin stats. They have
Speaker 1: charts now which show you how far down the field
Speaker 1: each throw has gone for a quarterback. Cam Newton attempted
Speaker 1: one throw that was longer than fifteen yards down the
Speaker 1: field last night. And you know, we always noticed this
Speaker 1: watching the way that Cam Newton throws a football, which
Speaker 1: leads to a lot of his inaccuracies. But this is
Speaker 1: something that, like the Money Night broadcast was hammering into
Speaker 1: your head all night long, was well, he uses his
Speaker 1: whole entire upper body to throw the ball. It's really
Speaker 1: kind of an awkward throwing motion for Cam Newton, but
Speaker 1: it looked even more awkward last night. I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if, you know, he sits out these last couple
Speaker 1: of games, because what are they playing for at this point? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think they really have a like a shot
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs anymore, right, No they don't. They
Speaker 1: asked Robert Rivera about that after the game last night.
Speaker 1: They're gonna just shut Cam down given what given when
Speaker 1: he looked like given clearly not healthy, and ultimately Rob riveriss, no,
Speaker 1: we have no plans to do that now. Of course,
Speaker 1: take twenty four hours, reevaluate where you're at. That obviously
Speaker 1: could change, but it would surprise me. Cam Newton comes
Speaker 1: to mind. Aaron Rodgers comes to mind, also, as someone
Speaker 1: that could sit out here. This week, we saw the
Speaker 1: line of the Jett game moved very very quickly that
Speaker 1: they were the Jets. Yesterday the game opened up as
Speaker 1: Green Bay Lane, three points on the road. It's down
Speaker 1: to pick him so and you wonder if they know
Speaker 1: something before we do. And it seems like that's the
Speaker 1: way that it's training right now. My j E. T
Speaker 1: s problem is I don't really want them to win
Speaker 1: any games right now. Surprisingly enough, we'll talk about that
Speaker 1: game later on, but the Packers Jets, that's where you're
Speaker 1: gonna find a lot of your waiver wire gems this week. Greg, Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and that that's really where what will start. And I
Speaker 1: think it's actually a really good spot to start because
Speaker 1: waiver wire jams. I want to stick with the quarterbacks here, Frank,
Speaker 1: because if I Rodgers doesn't play, Cam Newton doesn't play,
Speaker 1: and you're in the finals somehow, Cam Newton is your
Speaker 1: quarterback and maybe less less shockingly without Rodgers quarterback. If
Speaker 1: these two guys are out and you have them where
Speaker 1: you need a streamer for whatever reason, something happened to
Speaker 1: your quarterback. You've been streaming guys. You want to make
Speaker 1: a change Sam Donald is somebody that you can actually
Speaker 1: turn to, right. I mean, I don't know if we're
Speaker 1: if we're there yet, but yeah, I mean Cam Newton,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. You're gonna have to find some quarterbacks hopefully.
Speaker 1: You know in your league, you'll notice ownership percentages are
Speaker 1: all over the place at this point, because really there's
Speaker 1: only two teams left playing, so you know, there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of people still making ad drops. So it
Speaker 1: might look like those running rookie r backs are still available,
Speaker 1: guys like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, even Baker Mayfield. I
Speaker 1: think we would all point you in the direction of
Speaker 1: those guys first, but we've been talking about those guys
Speaker 1: for weeks, Greg, so there's chances are that those players
Speaker 1: are not available anymore. So yeah, we are looking at,
Speaker 1: you know, the the next man up, so to speak,
Speaker 1: in Sam Donald. And look, he played he played his
Speaker 1: ass off last week, Greig against the Houston Texans, a
Speaker 1: defense that you know, all right, the way to attack
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans is through to the secondary, but they
Speaker 1: have a phenomenal pass rush, and what Sam Donald was
Speaker 1: able to do consistently throughout that game was evade the
Speaker 1: pass rush, get outside the pocket. And you know, something
Speaker 1: I like to see from his development already is that
Speaker 1: he's keeping his eyes down the field, he's getting outside
Speaker 1: the pocket and making plays with his arm. So the
Speaker 1: Packers secondary is not one that scares me all that much.
Speaker 1: And just looking at what Sam Donald did last week,
Speaker 1: what through for two fifty yards through for two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: added an additional thirty rushing yards on the ground, So
Speaker 1: this is like really like slim pickings this week. Again,
Speaker 1: the other rookie quarterbacks we like more, not Josh Rosen,
Speaker 1: but Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Baker Mayfield. But if
Speaker 1: those guys are taking you're playing a super flex league.
Speaker 1: You'll lost Aaron Rodgers or Cam Newton. Again, we're just speculating,
Speaker 1: but I'd be surprised if those guys play. Sam Donald
Speaker 1: looks like the next man up, greggy, Sam Donald us
Speaker 1: look like the next guy off, And it's possible. Um,
Speaker 1: he's the only one out there now. I was looking
Speaker 1: this morning. Josh Allen is actually still available in over
Speaker 1: fifty of CBS Sports dot com leagues. But do you
Speaker 1: trust the ownership percentages? That's the thing, because there's only
Speaker 1: like two or four teams still making waiver pick and
Speaker 1: you you you're in thousand percent, right. But a lot
Speaker 1: of the other quarterbacks that I looked at, Lamar Jackson, UM,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, some of the names that we've gone over
Speaker 1: over the basketball of weeks. I mean, they're only five
Speaker 1: percent of leagues, right, so those guys are owned exactly.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was the one that people still have question marks.
Speaker 1: And he only ran for like nineteen yards this week,
Speaker 1: but one of those runs were for a touchdown. He
Speaker 1: also through for a touchdown. So Josh Allen's gotta be
Speaker 1: that first choice. I think he's just played really really well.
Speaker 1: Uh faces New England this week. Um, but he's played
Speaker 1: too well, and he's Chris Bencher said it, I'm benching
Speaker 1: Cam Newton for Josh Allen this week. He was like,
Speaker 1: you've been saying it for weeks. I'm bending Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen this week. And you've been right when
Speaker 1: he said for Tom Brady you weren't. But that's okay.
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen overall, he's the quarterback. He's the guy
Speaker 1: if you need one this week. Sam Donald certainly could
Speaker 1: be the next man up and We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: this game a lot, and Frank put up a poll
Speaker 1: in regards to defenses this week. We'll get to that
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes. But Derek Card for Oakland.
Speaker 1: What could be the last game for the Raiders in
Speaker 1: Oakland on Monday Night. Imagine having your quarterback on Monday
Speaker 1: Night football with everything on the line, Frank, true story.
Speaker 1: Oakland also played Monday Night last Fantasy Finals one year ago.
Speaker 1: This week, it was the Oakland Raiders and the Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Eagles on Monday Night. From the link, Michael Crabt, you
Speaker 1: put up a zero in that game. Crossed a lot
Speaker 1: of people. Great. I had him in my lineup. I
Speaker 1: had already clinched going into Monday Night, so I was
Speaker 1: fine he put up a zero. Disaster disaster. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: did get a response. You know, put up that Twitter
Speaker 1: poll asking which defense you like most, because I think
Speaker 1: it's really close. Right, There's not really just one defense
Speaker 1: that stands out this week. Last week we were all
Speaker 1: over the Falcons. We recommended the Bills and a Lions
Speaker 1: as well, Greggy, But just looking at the defense for
Speaker 1: this week, it's you know, the Titans. Um, the Titans
Speaker 1: are playing the Washington football team. The Cowboys are at
Speaker 1: home against Tampa Bay. You got the Broncos in Oakland,
Speaker 1: so we'll talk about that game as well. But there
Speaker 1: was an interesting point about you know, we gotta response
Speaker 1: saying this is the this could be or I think
Speaker 1: it will be the last game in Oakland. So the
Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna be fired up, there's no doubt about that.
Speaker 1: You know the crowd is gonna be crazy there. Uh
Speaker 1: does that differ you from almost using the Broncos defense
Speaker 1: because you have to assume that the Raiders are gonna
Speaker 1: put up some points in the spot. Yeah know in
Speaker 1: that poll that you put without Frank, you gave me
Speaker 1: enough alternatives, right. It wasn't like it's the Denver defense
Speaker 1: or Boss that nobody else has good match. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of defenses that are going to be out there
Speaker 1: that aren't owned, that aren't stashed away, that I think
Speaker 1: you'll have the ability to pick up. And I think, really, everyone,
Speaker 1: this is the one pole that you honestly put up
Speaker 1: all season. I know it's like a ridiculous powl, just
Speaker 1: the defense and weeks sixteen, but I didn't know who
Speaker 1: to choose. I really had no idea who to choose
Speaker 1: in this one. So I think there's other options as
Speaker 1: of right now, say the Titans, So you know, fine,
Speaker 1: the public that people are voting here are they're a
Speaker 1: little bit more in on the Titans than than we are.
Speaker 1: But obviously the Dolphins at home playing against Jacksonville Cody
Speaker 1: Kessler that they're also in play of the Cowboys at home.
Speaker 1: The hot Boys defense going up against Tampa Bay. You
Speaker 1: know that Jamis Winston could be turnover prone at times. Um,
Speaker 1: the Bucks offense did not do much against the Baltimore
Speaker 1: Ravens a week ago, and I think the Cowboys it's
Speaker 1: a nice little bounce back spot for the him at
Speaker 1: home coming off a los for like I shut out
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts. I'm sure they'll be up for
Speaker 1: the for that game, Greg and I need them to
Speaker 1: be up for that game because I have the Bucks
Speaker 1: season under six and a half. The Bucks are at
Speaker 1: five wins right now, just lose one. How about them Cowboys?
Speaker 1: I need the Cowboys to win this game this week.
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat.
Speaker 1: I also had the Dolphins under for the year. That
Speaker 1: is out the window. Oh man, I don't really want
Speaker 1: to say the final one. I don't want to say alright, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it. I had the Jets over.
Speaker 1: The Jets over six most you know they can get
Speaker 1: to at least six wins. But if you look back
Speaker 1: at it, did get shot over. They didn't get into seven. No,
Speaker 1: well at least six. I mean it's a push. Then
Speaker 1: if you get to six to push, oh there's six,
Speaker 1: not six and a half. So the shot they were
Speaker 1: in a lot of clothes, you still have a shot
Speaker 1: to push. It's not gonna happen. Actually, maybe playing week's seventeen.
Speaker 1: I'm not Jets fan. I don't know. I don't think
Speaker 1: you have to be Jets fans. Might betsins. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: the Patriots bench all their guys right, Probably not, probably
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. It might be the Packers though, which
Speaker 1: would actually suck for draft pick wise. Do you have
Speaker 1: any other quarterbacks before we move on the year, considering
Speaker 1: picking up this week? If necessary? Again, super flex, just
Speaker 1: throw his name out there. Josh Johnson two owned going
Speaker 1: up against Tennessee. I know, you know we're talking about
Speaker 1: the Titans defense and how much we like them. It's
Speaker 1: just really because the Washington is a net on offense.
Speaker 1: Right now, they're putting up They're not putting up a
Speaker 1: lot of points with Josh Johnson, but when it comes
Speaker 1: to Johnson's and that at least forty five rushing yards
Speaker 1: and back to back games. Here, I'm looking at my
Speaker 1: home league. It's a four point passing touchdown league. He's
Speaker 1: given you at least fifteen Fantasy points in two games.
Speaker 1: So this is just like a hail Mary, like super flex.
Speaker 1: If Rogers or Cam Newton doesn't play, if Sam Donald,
Speaker 1: then like every other quarterback is owned, I'll just throw
Speaker 1: Josh Shotnson's name out there. Josh actually came to my mind.
Speaker 1: One more quarterback, and I have on my list Morga's
Speaker 1: Mariota against in that same game. Actually, I know that
Speaker 1: on problem with Mariota is the botto has been nothing
Speaker 1: over the past two weeks. There, I say, I like
Speaker 1: Josh Shahnson more than macause what's working for the football?
Speaker 1: Turn and slam that rock into the stomach of Derrick
Speaker 1: Henry times a game. His snap percent is Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: up to this past week. We've seen what he's done
Speaker 1: over the past two weeks. Now this is two years
Speaker 1: in a row, Greg, where towards the end of the season,
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry starts to take over. Now we're going to
Speaker 1: fall for this again. All right, We're we're gonna carry
Speaker 1: this over to the next year, and we're gonna say
Speaker 1: this is the breakout season coming for Derrick Henry. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's just if you look at the snap percentage in
Speaker 1: the way he was used, maybe they purposely did that
Speaker 1: where all right, well, we'll kind of save him for
Speaker 1: the end of the season where everyone else is kind
Speaker 1: of banged up football the game of Attrician where he's
Speaker 1: kind of just banging everybody around. You saw him that
Speaker 1: long run against the jack Bards. No one wants to
Speaker 1: tackle this guy. It seemed like no one wanted to
Speaker 1: act last week against the Giants either. So maybe this
Speaker 1: is by design kind of save Derrick Henry and keep
Speaker 1: him fresh for the end of the season. Two years
Speaker 1: in a row. I know the idea of that. I
Speaker 1: just can't buy it, because you need to win games.
Speaker 1: You need to win games early, need to win against late.
Speaker 1: Why wasn't getting twenty plus carries? Are you single game
Speaker 1: this year? And why did it take it down? I
Speaker 1: don't know fourteen for Derrick Henry to get unleased, and
Speaker 1: I have the same questions for a guy like, you know,
Speaker 1: Mike Williams with Los Angeles. Well, and that only happened
Speaker 1: because Keenan Allen got hurt. Yeah, but like, why hadn't
Speaker 1: he been on least he's clearly awesome. He's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I don't know with guys like Derrick Henry. Next,
Speaker 1: I think that you know, we are very recently bias.
Speaker 1: What have you done for me lately? We'll see what
Speaker 1: they did at the end of this season, and we'll
Speaker 1: carry that over into next year. And I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if Derrick Henry starts to climb up into the
Speaker 1: fifth fourth round again next season. We said it on Friday,
Speaker 1: will say it again. With Tyro Williams being a free agent,
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, that ADP is going to just skyrocket again
Speaker 1: and they could bring back Tyroll Williams. But to me,
Speaker 1: you use what a top six seven overall pick on
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, I think you kind of want him to
Speaker 1: be the number two wide receiver in your offense. So
Speaker 1: to me, it seems like Tyrolle Williams is gonna end
Speaker 1: up somewhere else a team that needs a burner, a
Speaker 1: guy that could get on the defense. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: the Chargers really need to pay him when they have
Speaker 1: guys like Mike Williams Hunter Henry. To bring up Hunter
Speaker 1: Henry as a possible ad because you know he's returning
Speaker 1: to practice. Stephen A. Smith. Have a little bit of
Speaker 1: a crystal ball here now as a possible adds. You're
Speaker 1: turning to practice for the playoffs. This is why you're
Speaker 1: turning into practice. He will not play in the regular season.
Speaker 1: There's no where, there's no reason too. How about this though,
Speaker 1: if you're playing in a dynasty or keeper league, it's
Speaker 1: kind of scoop him up right now if no one?
Speaker 1: I mean so, so, here's the thing, right you're acting.
Speaker 1: There's a three week window when it comes to Hunter
Speaker 1: hen right where they have to activate him. That'll be
Speaker 1: a week, fifteen weeks, sixteen weeks, seventeen, there's twenty one
Speaker 1: days right there. Boom, you activate him on the Tuesday. Uh,
Speaker 1: you active him on Tuesday going into the first round
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. If you're playing in there and you
Speaker 1: have Hunter Henry back for the playoff, that is what
Speaker 1: he's back for makes sense? Yeah, And I look, I
Speaker 1: really hope Philip Rivers comes back for at least one
Speaker 1: more years. Kind of the time where you know, yesterday
Speaker 1: we speculated will Drew Brees be back next year? Philip Rivers? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just me. It's just me. But um yeah, Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers again, I mean, why wouldn't you just We're gonna
Speaker 1: start talking a lot more about, you know, next year
Speaker 1: as weeks go on, because you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: people that are tuning in, Yes, they're still tuning in
Speaker 1: for to find out about the playoffs, who they should add,
Speaker 1: who they should start, But a lot of people who
Speaker 1: are still just sticking around, they want to know, like,
Speaker 1: all right, well, what's gonna happen next year? The Chargers offense, Craig,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you wanted as much exposure to
Speaker 1: that offense as you could possibly get from Keenan Allen,
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, Hunter, Henry Um, Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler, Philip Rivers,
Speaker 1: just lots of lots of fun pieces for fantasy heading
Speaker 1: into next year. I don't know, really, just thinging off
Speaker 1: the top of my head. Is there a more complete
Speaker 1: fantasy offense that you want a piece of heading into
Speaker 1: next year. Because Hunter Henry, if he didn't get heard,
Speaker 1: he was gonna be a top five drafted tight end
Speaker 1: this year. So you're gonna have a top five tight end,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a top let's say, top eight, top
Speaker 1: ten wide receiver, you have another let's say, top twenty
Speaker 1: four wide receiver drafted, and then another top five running back.
Speaker 1: Is there a more complete fantasy offense heading into next
Speaker 1: season the side of the Chargers, Yeah, I'd say so,
Speaker 1: I will. I think he's in terms of like including
Speaker 1: the tight end. Well, and I realized that. Otherwise, you
Speaker 1: go to the Rams because the Rans have three wide
Speaker 1: receivers right the same amount of players. Um, you go
Speaker 1: to the child You go to the Chiefs, who have
Speaker 1: a tight end. They have they have a quarterback. Chiefs
Speaker 1: they have whatever whoever is starting running back. I don't care. Um,
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't have that second one. They don't
Speaker 1: have that second wide receiver. Though I was an issue.
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh comes to mind. They have a running back, a quarterback,
Speaker 1: to wide receivers, Jesse James kind of whatever. There the
Speaker 1: top three most complete fantas offense without question, without question, um,
Speaker 1: speaking of a complete fantasy offenses, we want to complete
Speaker 1: your fantasy offense for this weekend if you're in your
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, still in the finals, because it is week
Speaker 1: sixteen now, Frankie, what I wanted to get into here
Speaker 1: is the running backs, and I wanted to make sure
Speaker 1: that you were playing, you're recognizing which injured players are
Speaker 1: well out, they are out for good. And that starts
Speaker 1: where we started with the quarterbacks in that Green Bay,
Speaker 1: New York game, specifically with Aaron Jones, who it looks
Speaker 1: like it's going to miss the rest of the season,
Speaker 1: which means it all comes full circle. You started the
Speaker 1: year and Jamal Williams is the starting running back in
Speaker 1: Green Day. You end the fantasy football season with Jamal
Speaker 1: will Is the starting running back in Green Day. Frankie,
Speaker 1: it didn't work out well for me on any of
Speaker 1: my teams, which is all of them where I drafted
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams and I went with him. Will it work
Speaker 1: out in the fantasy finals? Do you trust Jamal Williams
Speaker 1: in the finals? Trust is a strong word, especially this
Speaker 1: time of year, but again due to the injuries and
Speaker 1: under performance this time of year, look at what Jamal
Speaker 1: Williams just did in terms of snaps, what he played
Speaker 1: eight seven percent of the snaps. He has legit workhorse.
Speaker 1: And I think the fact that the Packers signed Capri
Speaker 1: Bibbs today off waivers tells you that Aaron Jones is
Speaker 1: not gonna be he I'm not gonna play in this game.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's gonna be out two years ago.
Speaker 1: Now that he's deal dealt with this m c L injury,
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll be right back in on Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: again next year. But I think that this m c
Speaker 1: L injury in his knee is actually starting to be
Speaker 1: something consistent, which is a concern we'll talk to about.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to dr about that in the off season
Speaker 1: and find out where that will be heading into next year.
Speaker 1: But for this week, Greg, when we up against the
Speaker 1: Jetsmal Williams last week against the Bears twelve carries fifty
Speaker 1: five yards, four point six yards could carry, had a
Speaker 1: touchdown targeted five times. In the passing game, four receptions
Speaker 1: for forty two yards. Obviously, if Deshaun Kaiser is the
Speaker 1: quarterback into this team, the whole offense takes a hit.
Speaker 1: But just based on the fact that he played that
Speaker 1: many snaps and got that big workload. We'll be in
Speaker 1: on jamal Wi. We will be and I'll tell you
Speaker 1: where I am next. Daily rodo dot Com Learn from

Speaker 1: the studio and I there's a big billboard outside and
Speaker 1: I went that this is where I screwed up on
Speaker 1: the graphicspartment and send the picture to Martine who could
Speaker 1: have showed it. Um, but there's a big billboard outside
Speaker 1: that says start your New Year's off of the Bang
Speaker 1: and then order new room service Hotels dot com. I
Speaker 1: was like, whoa that is It's pretty good. That's good.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That is suggestive. I like it. Sexcels
Speaker 1: Baby advertising. It has me talking about alive on the radio.
Speaker 1: Probably Canna yelled at our YouTube chat right now for
Speaker 1: not mentioning football whatever. Callen Belage, whoa sex? Look at
Speaker 1: the screen, Greggy, Oh yeah, yeah, that's Greggy there on
Speaker 1: the on the left and not um alright, it's back
Speaker 1: the right. Jamal Williams, I asked you if you trust him,
Speaker 1: he's in the circle of trust, and you said, I'll
Speaker 1: trust him as a low end RB two, which at
Speaker 1: this point of the year it's it might be harder
Speaker 1: to find Aaron Jones because I trust the talent a
Speaker 1: lot more. Regardless of matchup, he was a high end
Speaker 1: RB two, he was a low n RB one. I
Speaker 1: still had him high end RB two in last week's
Speaker 1: matchup against the Bears. We all know how that ended.
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams stepped in and performed admirably. But I think
Speaker 1: based on the way that he was used in that
Speaker 1: game eighteen total touches, played seven percent of the snaps,
Speaker 1: he is going to be the workhorse on this offense.
Speaker 1: Could potentially be not a good offense with de Shaan Kaiser,
Speaker 1: but that might even lean towards them. UM using Jamal
Speaker 1: Williams even more because Deshan kas is the quarterback. They're
Speaker 1: not going to let him drop back and throw the
Speaker 1: ball thirty times. So I think Jamal Williams is in
Speaker 1: a good spot in terms of workload usage. It's an
Speaker 1: okay matchup against the Jets. I think he's a low
Speaker 1: one RB two. This week was your number one wave
Speaker 1: wire add So that was the question I had right like,
Speaker 1: who is who would you rather have this weekend? Jamal
Speaker 1: Williams or Kalin Ballage. Definitely Jamal Williams because with Kalen
Speaker 1: Ballage it's like, I don't trust Adam Gaze as far
Speaker 1: as I could throw them. Actually I might be able
Speaker 1: to throw Adam Gaze kind of far. I don't know
Speaker 1: how big Easy looks. I don't know. It looks kind
Speaker 1: of like a scrawny dude. But um, speaking of Adam Gaze.
Speaker 1: By the way, Gregor, I mean, this is just you know,
Speaker 1: all year long, this has kind of been my thing.
Speaker 1: It's like me versus Adam Gaze. Like I love Kenyan Drake,
Speaker 1: he clearly doesn't. Chris Eventra loves Kenyan Drake. Adam Gaze
Speaker 1: clearly doesn't. Greg King of went to a rage cage
Speaker 1: over the weekend. You know what a rage cages? Rage
Speaker 1: cage no idea. So basically, they give you a bat,
Speaker 1: they give you crowbar, they give you a bunch of weapons,
Speaker 1: and you get to beat up a bunch of stuff
Speaker 1: like keyboards. Heard about TV you might have, Dude, I
Speaker 1: want to go inside a rage cage where everything is
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze's face, and I want to do it while
Speaker 1: wearing a Kenyan Drake jersey. Like that's really what I
Speaker 1: want to do. I read some stuff about this that
Speaker 1: I actually what like Kenyan Drake and Adam Gaze, all right,
Speaker 1: what you read he basically feels that Kenyan Drake doesn't
Speaker 1: know how to run his plays and whose job is
Speaker 1: to teach him. And he also feels like he's a
Speaker 1: terrible pass blocker. That might be true, so he was
Speaker 1: a mon early downs anything else, That's what I read.
Speaker 1: I also read something that says like he doesn't trust
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake to get positive yardage or something like apparently
Speaker 1: when Kenyan Drake is on the field, they get negative
Speaker 1: plays and that sets them up for like second and
Speaker 1: long and third and long, so on and board. But
Speaker 1: if you look at the numbers, like Kenyan Drake has
Speaker 1: been right there with Frank Gore in terms of like efficiency,
Speaker 1: which is crazy to say Frank or has actually weren't
Speaker 1: officially this year, but they're both over four yards per carry.
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake has scored pretty much all of the running
Speaker 1: back touchdowns this year. Before last week, he was the
Speaker 1: only running back on the roster with touchdowns. Calin Balloge
Speaker 1: scored the seventy five yard touchdown. We all saw that
Speaker 1: and we were hoping it was Kenyan Drake, but it wasn't,
Speaker 1: of course, because Adam Gates hates him. But with Frank
Speaker 1: Gore going down here, I understand why Calein Ballage is
Speaker 1: on the list because again Adam Gates hates and you Drake,
Speaker 1: which means that Blage is going to be in the
Speaker 1: mix here. I think the primary guy. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think that we could trust anyone. Still, like
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be, you know, twelve touches Camelon Blage,
Speaker 1: you know, six to eight touches for Kenyan Drake for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, and in Brandon Bolden will get like a
Speaker 1: handful of touches in this game as well, which is
Speaker 1: as completely ridiculous. Calon Blage if its flash a little
Speaker 1: bit on that one carry seventy five yards against the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. To your point, Greg Blage did touch the
Speaker 1: ball twelve times, carry the ball twelve times. Keny Drake
Speaker 1: to carged the ball once. He did have some work
Speaker 1: in the past game. Drake did re receptions. Um. I
Speaker 1: just overall, I don't trust the matchup really, Like, I
Speaker 1: know the Jaguars are not great and what Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: just did against him a couple of weeks ago, but
Speaker 1: it's still not great matchup. I don't want to trust
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins loss is probably in plays like a
Speaker 1: flex running back. That's pretty much where Frank Gore has
Speaker 1: been all season. So I think the logs kind of
Speaker 1: like just slots in in that Frank Gore role in
Speaker 1: you know, a mediocre matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I
Speaker 1: like Jamal Williams and even Elijah McGuire for the Jets
Speaker 1: a lot more than I do blogs. Let me give
Speaker 1: you a one more name that I like more than
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams, and that's Jeff Wilson Jr. Mat Breeda doesn't
Speaker 1: play with his ankle injury. God with Jeff Wilson, Man.
Speaker 1: I know he had an altercation on Sunday. I know
Speaker 1: his one plane did not go very well. But Matt
Speaker 1: fred is not active Wilson. You know all the touches
Speaker 1: we can he can handle. We saw what he could
Speaker 1: do a couple of weeks back. He's the guy man.
Speaker 1: I will agree with that, just based on workload, the
Speaker 1: way that he was being used in a two games
Speaker 1: without Matt Breda, he was at least twenty three touches
Speaker 1: and ye of those games at least ninety yards from scrimmage,
Speaker 1: and both of those games obviously the game that Matt
Speaker 1: Brida we all thought was gonna play and didn't. It
Speaker 1: was like that first game where Jeff Wilson took over
Speaker 1: monster get interception game actually set season highs in terms
Speaker 1: of targets and receptions for a forty Niners running back.
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. If Matt Breeda can't go, I
Speaker 1: mean there's something will pay attention to all week long,
Speaker 1: like we have all season long. Because Matt Breeda again
Speaker 1: was kind of like limited last week, still ended up
Speaker 1: playing that game and still had a lot of touches.
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson actually fumbled in that game against Seahawks as well.
Speaker 1: We'll mention it's not a good matchup against the Bears.
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams just performed well, but for the most part
Speaker 1: all season long, the Bears have limited fantasy production to
Speaker 1: running back, so fum just and the Bears are still
Speaker 1: playing to try to get that by don't. They're definitely
Speaker 1: still playing. And if I just had to rank them,
Speaker 1: it would be for me, Jamal Williams still number one,
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire number two. If Matt Breed is out, Jeff
Speaker 1: Wilson be number three. That's really I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: like pushing him down. I know the workload would be there.
Speaker 1: It's because of the matchup against the Bears. And then
Speaker 1: number four b Klin Blash. Okay, other running backs before
Speaker 1: we move on to some wide receivers here this week,
Speaker 1: make sure Todd Gurley is active, obviously, make sure he's
Speaker 1: not he's playing. People talk about John Kelly. Kelly was
Speaker 1: the next man up. He was finally. I know that
Speaker 1: we were speculating on Justin Davids. I think Justin David's
Speaker 1: like hurt necking, Yeah, it must have been. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: finally John Kelly's time. And he went from being the
Speaker 1: cheap of staff to being tell gurliers back. So there
Speaker 1: you got right over my head, Greg, some kind of
Speaker 1: political joke there had to be sure. John Kelly, though,
Speaker 1: a guy will just mention this. He was a guy
Speaker 1: who like college analytics, um people who study you know,
Speaker 1: analytics for college for like pro football of focus and stuff.
Speaker 1: John Kelly was the guy who like jumped off the
Speaker 1: paper for them because in terms of like everything that
Speaker 1: he could do, like yards after contact and a bunch
Speaker 1: of like deeper analytics like that. John Kelly the guy.
Speaker 1: Do we care who buffalo Is running back is this week?
Speaker 1: Did you see came last week? Greg? No, I know
Speaker 1: it's it's against the Patriots, but I mean even shaw
Speaker 1: McCoy hasn't been able to do anything. I know. Keith
Speaker 1: Ford is like a name. He was like the next
Speaker 1: guy up after the next, the next guy up. So
Speaker 1: that was interesting. They were seemingly dunce like no running
Speaker 1: backs last week. But Josh Allen is your running back? No,
Speaker 1: I don't have any interest in the Bills. All right,
Speaker 1: let's move on to wide receivers here this weekend, Frank,
Speaker 1: who's your favorite wide receiver that people can plug into
Speaker 1: their lineups right now to try to win a championship.
Speaker 1: So I think we just mentioned Mike Williams off the
Speaker 1: top it has available. We don't know what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: with Keenan Allen. The injury doesn't seem severe, but if
Speaker 1: you and Allen weren't able to go, I know the
Speaker 1: matchup is against the Baltimore Ravens, but I'm sure Mike
Speaker 1: Williams will be force fed targets in that game, so
Speaker 1: I'll just throw his name out there. I know he's
Speaker 1: already owned in a very high percentage of league, So
Speaker 1: Mike Williams if gonna playing ten team leagues or whatever
Speaker 1: it might be, I'll throw his name out there. And
Speaker 1: then I think this is close, Greg. I think it's
Speaker 1: very close between Robert Foster and Robbie Anderson. Robbie Anderson,
Speaker 1: I talked him up last week. Um, the Texans secondary
Speaker 1: was one that you could take advantage of. I think
Speaker 1: they're in another similar spot this week against the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Um, you know Robbie Anderson again, you know defenses,
Speaker 1: know how to play Robbie, And if you watch the
Speaker 1: games like they're playing off, they're giving him cushion and
Speaker 1: instead of like earlier on the season where he was
Speaker 1: just kind of running past people and trying to, you know,
Speaker 1: get that deep target, he's pretty much just stopping and
Speaker 1: and taking what defenses are giving to him. And you're
Speaker 1: seeing that kind of reflected in his reception total, in
Speaker 1: his yardage total. It's not a lot of like alright, um,
Speaker 1: it's not he's averaging twenty yards per catch or whatever.
Speaker 1: Like he's being used as a PPR guy and he
Speaker 1: is the apple of Sam Donald's I right now as well.
Speaker 1: So I think it's very close between Uh. I think
Speaker 1: I would have Robby Anderson number one against against the
Speaker 1: Packers this week. But I do think Robert Foster is
Speaker 1: close a guy that we've really kind of discounted the
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. And I know, like his A
Speaker 1: A dot is like twenty six average depth of target
Speaker 1: pretty much, Josh Allen either runs or he just bombs
Speaker 1: it down the field. And when he's bombing it down
Speaker 1: the field, those are going to Robert Foster. So when
Speaker 1: imagine against the Patriots, where I'm sure the Bills will
Speaker 1: be playing from behind, or at least expected to be
Speaker 1: playing from behind, Robert Foster over the past five weeks
Speaker 1: has had at least ninety yards in four out of
Speaker 1: five of those games. He scored two touchdowns during that stretch.
Speaker 1: I think, realistically, Mike Williams is not available. Robby Anderson
Speaker 1: and Robert Foster the top two wide receivers to target
Speaker 1: on the Waivelard. Yeah, so I think Robby Adderson certainly
Speaker 1: certainly makes the cut. I have been nowhere on Robert Foster. Dude, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know where this guy came from. People are
Speaker 1: coming people were admittedly people were asking us about him
Speaker 1: last week, and it was very dismissive. Shame. I don't
Speaker 1: really want to trust a wide receiver who's only getting
Speaker 1: a few targets per game. It's really you're depending on
Speaker 1: this guy for a deep shot with Josh Allen. But
Speaker 1: that's what Josh Allen does well. It's either he runs
Speaker 1: it or he throws the deep shot. And he's taking
Speaker 1: at least a few of these deep shots per game
Speaker 1: down the field to Robert Foster. And look, you can't
Speaker 1: deny the production at this point. Whether he's just getting
Speaker 1: three or four targets or you know, whatever it might be,
Speaker 1: he is producing at least ninety four yards in four
Speaker 1: of his last five games. So you know, I will
Speaker 1: dismiss Robert Foster no more. And I think it's a
Speaker 1: solid matchup, good spot against New England Patriots. I don't
Speaker 1: think you can dismiss him anymore. I think he's now
Speaker 1: um going over a hundred yards and what three of
Speaker 1: his last five games along those lines, so at least
Speaker 1: ninety four and four out of five. Okay, So it's
Speaker 1: it's been impressive since Josh Allen got back into the
Speaker 1: saddle as starting quarterback. Same with Sam Donald and Robby Anderson.
Speaker 1: I think those are just two combinations that are simply
Speaker 1: real and we have to buy into them right now.
Speaker 1: You need him as a flex play. You gotta do
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. You have some tough injuries and
Speaker 1: now I guess the real question I have is like
Speaker 1: these type of guys, you Robbie Anderson, your Robert Foster's,
Speaker 1: do you use them over like the Calvin Ridley types?
Speaker 1: If you're in the finals with Calvin Ridley, you gotta right, yeah, definitely, yeah.
Speaker 1: What what have you done for me lately? Calvin Ridley?
Speaker 1: It has been very you know, if he doesn't score
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He's very touch ondependent basically. That's where like
Speaker 1: the guy is not going out there and putting up
Speaker 1: huge reception totals, target totals, um uh yard totals. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it seems like every single week there and and
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has always done this. There's like some Joe
Speaker 1: Schmo catching a touchdown for them justin hardy. Um. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like Marvin Hall, I don't even
Speaker 1: know if he's still with the team, but like randomly
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown. Mohammed san Now is still kind of
Speaker 1: using there. So yeah, I think that's a good one
Speaker 1: to throw out there. I haven't done running back wide
Speaker 1: receiver rankings yet, but I'm sure you know I'll have
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson and Robert Foster and that makes high end
Speaker 1: wide receiver three where you know, I want to trust
Speaker 1: these guys. I'll throw them to Patrick out there as well.
Speaker 1: Both Broncos wide receivers Tim Patrick and Dashawn Hamilton, who
Speaker 1: the targets have been there for. And Courtland Sutton. No,
Speaker 1: don't do it anymore. I mean, if you made it
Speaker 1: this far with Courtland Sutton in week sixteen, I don't
Speaker 1: want to have to trust him. I just don't think
Speaker 1: that his play style goes well with what case Keenum does.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because that's gonna be a really weird name
Speaker 1: going into next season, like what you do about Courtland Sutton,
Speaker 1: because the hype was so high and he really really
Speaker 1: flounder given the opportunity this last few games of the season.
Speaker 1: He's gonna really tough name undrafted. I think he's very
Speaker 1: Josh Jockson esque. It doesn't isn't that what it reminds
Speaker 1: you of, though. He's not like a big guy who
Speaker 1: should be using the red zone and catch touchdowns. Maybe
Speaker 1: not a ton of separation between him and the defense.
Speaker 1: You know, still kind of seems like he's not a
Speaker 1: polished route runner either, kind of a guy that's just
Speaker 1: supposed to go up and win the fifty ball. But
Speaker 1: case Keenum isn't that guy. Even going back to last year,
Speaker 1: you'd like to target the slot a lot. And you know,
Speaker 1: I brought this up Dashawn Hamilton's back to back weeks
Speaker 1: double digit targets. He is, Uh, it's very Bruce Ellington
Speaker 1: asked what he's doing right now where he's getting a
Speaker 1: lot of receptions, not getting a lot of yards. But
Speaker 1: I think for PPR, I think he's in play as
Speaker 1: a wide receiver three, especially against the Oakland Raiders. Just
Speaker 1: a lot of wide receiver to Tyler boyd Um. They've
Speaker 1: struggled against slot receivers. So I do think I do
Speaker 1: like I like Dashawn Hamilton's the most of the group.
Speaker 1: Markets are there, the receptions are there, the yard is
Speaker 1: not very high, catching a lot of passes close to
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. But if I had to rank
Speaker 1: the Broncos wide receivers, it would be Hamilton's. Tim Patrick.
Speaker 1: I think he has to be at this point. He
Speaker 1: has to be. He's just done the least and like
Speaker 1: you say, what have you done for me lately? Nothing
Speaker 1: is the answer. Nothing thing. At least you know DaShan
Speaker 1: Hamilton's going to be targeted seven Tariot's back to back games,
Speaker 1: like you know that's going to be there. So to me,
Speaker 1: it's Scott to be Hamilton's, then Patrick, then Sutton with
Speaker 1: the Denver guys, but we you know, we don't really
Speaker 1: want any But I don't want to mess this Denver
Speaker 1: Oakland game one day night. That's terrible. It's not the
Speaker 1: worst matchup though, right, No, it's the Oakland Raiders. I
Speaker 1: don't I just know how to mess with us. And
Speaker 1: you know what on the other side of the football,
Speaker 1: the Outland Raiders. Jordy Nelson, Gregg, I'll just throw his
Speaker 1: name out there. You talk about coming full circle, greg
Speaker 1: On right now is Jordy Nelson. But you look at
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, at least seven targets in each game,
Speaker 1: at least six receptions in each game. He's been eighty
Speaker 1: eight yards forty eight yards against Pittsburgh a little bit
Speaker 1: of a tougher matchup than ninety seven yards against Casey,
Speaker 1: So at least eighty eight receiving yards in two of
Speaker 1: his last three games. The receptions have been there for
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson. Dare I say I'll throw his name out
Speaker 1: there as a wide receiver three as well this week?
Speaker 1: It all comes down to this and what you mentioned, Greg,
Speaker 1: with guys like Alvin Ridley take the name off the
Speaker 1: back of the jersey. Has you've been doing that the
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks? Do you want to trust one
Speaker 1: of these guys or do you want to trust one
Speaker 1: of these waiver wire wide receivers who have actually been
Speaker 1: producing the past couple of weeks forty Nelson, Robbie Anderson,
Speaker 1: Tim Tim Patrick, Robert Foster. I'm going with those guys.

Speaker 1: Bobby four A four three, six, seven nine. Let me
Speaker 1: move on to Tyler in Nova Scotia. Let's up, Tyler? Tyler?
Speaker 1: What's up? Man? Um? I just had a quick receiver
Speaker 1: question and a tight end question the receivers like I
Speaker 1: got Holiday Allen Robinson and Dave Shawn Hamilton's. I was
Speaker 1: wondering if I should plug in either Robbie Anderson or
Speaker 1: the guy from the Bills and Spad So Golliday Golliday
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson. So Golliday is going up against the Vikings
Speaker 1: this week. Not the best matchup, but we just kind
Speaker 1: of saw Holliday's matchup proof Man again and then Allen
Speaker 1: Robinson the Bears going up against San Francisco another pretty
Speaker 1: good matchup. But I was, you know, I was a
Speaker 1: little bit let down by Allen Robinson last week. I
Speaker 1: thought he would have a better game. Who was who
Speaker 1: was the last name you mentioned? Robert Foster and Robby Anderson,
Speaker 1: Allison Hamilton. Basically, the question is do you start Robbie Anderson?
Speaker 1: Do you start Robert Foster over either Allen Robinson or
Speaker 1: Dashawan Hallilson. Yeah, so I would definitely use Robbie Anderson
Speaker 1: and Greg Please call me out if I if I'm
Speaker 1: off base here because you know the Jet fan j
Speaker 1: E t s Jets, Stets Jets. But I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson over Dashawn Hamilton's for sure. I know I
Speaker 1: mentioned I like Hamilton's in PPPR, but I think there's
Speaker 1: a little bit more upside the way that Robby Anderson
Speaker 1: is being used right now. Touchdowns and backs back weeks.
Speaker 1: The target to have been there, the receptions have been there,
Speaker 1: the yards have been there. He seems to be thriving
Speaker 1: with Sam Donald, he is the go to receiver, So
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson definitely over DaShan And then it comes down
Speaker 1: to do you go as far as to use a
Speaker 1: guy like Robert Foster over Allen Robinson, the Bears going
Speaker 1: Hamilton over Allen Robinson, then Ashan Hamilton's over Allen Robinson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't done the wide receiver ranks again as of
Speaker 1: right now, I would have I would have Kenny Golladay
Speaker 1: number one. I think I would have Robbie Anderson on
Speaker 1: number two on this list, ahead of Allen Robinson and
Speaker 1: everyone else. And then it really comes down to all
Speaker 1: those other players. I'm really gonna have to dive in
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. I think I like Robert Foster
Speaker 1: more than DaShan Hamilton's though, So then it really comes
Speaker 1: down to Foster versus so I Foster against the Patriots
Speaker 1: in New England, Allen Robinson against the forty Niners in
Speaker 1: San Francisco. To me, I'm sorry, Robbie Anderson, I agree, Frank,
Speaker 1: How do you have it one to Galla Day than
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson for that third spot? Though? I don't even
Speaker 1: think I'm considering Allen Robinson, Like, what do you what
Speaker 1: do you expecting from him? What do you want. He
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything. He doesn't do anything, so strip the
Speaker 1: name off the back of it. So what are we
Speaker 1: starting Alan Robinson for? What are you hoping for? He
Speaker 1: hasn't scored a touchdown in over a month since week ten. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he doesn't do anything. The targets have still been there,
Speaker 1: at least seven targets in three games straight, at least
Speaker 1: targets in you know, five of his last he's had
Speaker 1: eighty receiving twice all year. All right, No, I mean
Speaker 1: you're talking into it Robert Foster over Allen Robinson. I
Speaker 1: think that's the way to go. So I agree with
Speaker 1: Robert Foster Alan Robinson, but I think they're also gonna
Speaker 1: be a consideration for um. So Alan Robinson's last for
Speaker 1: you on this, He's last, He's he's behind Dash. I
Speaker 1: think you can make a consideration for Dashawan Hamilton as well.
Speaker 1: With Foster. I don't know how which way I would
Speaker 1: have it yet. I think it's one of those two guys.
Speaker 1: I realized what Foster has done. This is classic safety.
Speaker 1: Yes it is in Hamid For Robert Foster. This comes
Speaker 1: down to what kind of player are you? I think
Speaker 1: Robert Robby Anderson has been safe and has had a
Speaker 1: fair amount of upside the past couple of weeks. Again,
Speaker 1: he's second on this list. DaShan Hamilton's the targets have
Speaker 1: been their receptions have been there for PPR, so it
Speaker 1: gives you the safe floor, but the yardage hasn't necessarily
Speaker 1: been there. He scored a touchdown two weeks ago, didn't
Speaker 1: score a touchdown this week. But Robert Foster more so.
Speaker 1: All Right, the targets aren't there, but he's getting targeted
Speaker 1: down the field and he's picking up big chunks of yardage.
Speaker 1: So to me, I'll play the upside man. I'm going
Speaker 1: for the championship. I'll play Robert Foster over Nashan Hamilton.
Speaker 1: But if you're the guy who wants the floor, it
Speaker 1: comes down to what kind of player you are. You
Speaker 1: want to play it safe, DaShan Hamilton's your guy. I
Speaker 1: ultimately agree with that. Four eight, four, three six sevens.
Speaker 1: Continue on the phones, Frank Um, Let's go to Albert
Speaker 1: in Long Beach. What's up, Albert? How about them Chargers?
Speaker 1: About the Chargers? My West Coast team. I gotta get
Speaker 1: a charges Jersey, Greg. I don't know who to get yet.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll get Mike get a Mike win. No, no,
Speaker 1: I'm getting Mike Williams. Now we're past that. What's going
Speaker 1: on in cool Man? I have a I have a
Speaker 1: that question. I only made it to the championship. I'm
Speaker 1: very thrilled on that regret. So I have either Goff,
Speaker 1: thank you. I have either go or I have catam Newton.
Speaker 1: I can't start Cam Newton. The thing is, it's kind
Speaker 1: of hearts trust either guy right now. But we spoke
Speaker 1: about at the top of the show. We don't even
Speaker 1: know if Cam Newton's gonna play. We don't know what
Speaker 1: the motive is for the Carolina Panthers right now as
Speaker 1: they fall to six and eight, seemingly pushing them out
Speaker 1: of the playoff picture in the NFC. I don't really
Speaker 1: know what Cany Newton is going to be playing for here.
Speaker 1: The Panthers pretty good matchup at home against Atlanta, which
Speaker 1: all right on paper, everything like you should expect points here,
Speaker 1: I don't even know if Cam Newton's going to play.
Speaker 1: So I'm with you, Greg, I'll use Jared Golf. Going
Speaker 1: to Arizona looks like it's it's to get right spot.
Speaker 1: We could see a lot of Todd Gurley in this game.
Speaker 1: You know, I might look as far as to say
Speaker 1: I might want to stream a quarterback really though he
Speaker 1: hasn't done anything the pass. A couple of weeks, I
Speaker 1: under talking about Allen Robins matchups to get right match
Speaker 1: up man, I had no problem with n I requested, uh.
Speaker 1: I requested Baker Mayfield on the waiver while I was
Speaker 1: just in case. So Greg, Cincinnati is playing against the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Goddamn headphones aren't working either the Bengals. And the last
Speaker 1: time Baker face the Bengals, he threw for Oh, we
Speaker 1: got Greggy thinking a little bit. You know, Baker, you
Speaker 1: know Baker is my guy. Here's your guy. Last time
Speaker 1: Baker faced the Bengals. To put it in perspective, Greggy
Speaker 1: two fifty eight and four touchdowns. Gark Goff has done nothing, Baker, Man,
Speaker 1: give me Baker in the championship. I look, it's bold.
Speaker 1: I know you think it's the get right spot for
Speaker 1: the Rams. I think it could be the get right
Speaker 1: spot for Todd Gurley, assuming he's healthy. I mean they
Speaker 1: might not even need him for that matchup. Again, like
Speaker 1: if John Kelly is available, I would go out and
Speaker 1: just add him like speculatively, but it's to get right
Speaker 1: spot for the Rams. Overall, I think their defense can
Speaker 1: make a lot of plays in this game. I don't
Speaker 1: know that they're gonna have to depend on Jared Goff
Speaker 1: all that much in this matchup. Greg, get it, I
Speaker 1: get it. I think they need but they also think
Speaker 1: they need to get Jared Goff right, so I think
Speaker 1: they will. I was thinking with Jared Goov. I love
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I do um. Yeah, ask another phone call here?
Speaker 1: Have allowed the most fantasy points to quarnerbacks this here, Greg,
Speaker 1: alright eight four four eight four three six seven nine
Speaker 1: actually voting before you get to the calls. Four. I'm
Speaker 1: not taking a call. I don't worry about it. It's
Speaker 1: all right for you. I can't hear anything, all right.
Speaker 1: So before we get to the calls, you brought up
Speaker 1: an interesting tweet that Barfield tweeted that yesterday. So why
Speaker 1: don't you go ahead and print that out there to
Speaker 1: our listeners. Yeah, I want people to follow up here,
Speaker 1: whether it's via call, comment in the chat. Let us
Speaker 1: know what you're thinking as well, because I do think
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Nice little debate topic here from grhand Barfield
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Make sure you're following a lot of great stats,
Speaker 1: a lot of great information for fantasy football. If the
Speaker 1: last two weeks have proven anything, it's that straight up
Speaker 1: head to head formats and fantasy footb need to go
Speaker 1: play all total points best ball, et cetera. Is the
Speaker 1: future reward the best teams for the full season, not
Speaker 1: the luckiest for a week. Now, Greg, what this says
Speaker 1: to me is that we should start pushing fantasy football
Speaker 1: more towards fantasy baseball, because this has been the purest
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball argument for years. Play Road hisstory. It's the
Speaker 1: mark of the best team in fantasy baseball. You know,
Speaker 1: it encompasses all the categories. And it's not just well,
Speaker 1: if you play head to head, your team could get
Speaker 1: hot at the right time. You could win a match
Speaker 1: up here, you win a match up there, you get
Speaker 1: hot in the fantasy playoffs, and it turns out that
Speaker 1: the best team in the fantasy playoffs doesn't always win.
Speaker 1: In fantasy baseball heads ahead and in fantasy football heads ahead,
Speaker 1: But in fantasy football, Greg, this has just been such
Speaker 1: a mainstay in the industry, in the game for so long.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that we can't venture outside of that,
Speaker 1: because that's you know, I like best ball formats, and
Speaker 1: I know, you know, in a lot of high stakes
Speaker 1: league in the NFFC, you know, once you make it
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, it is just playoff. It's all right.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take your average points score from throughout the
Speaker 1: seed and your weekly points. You'll start with that. Then
Speaker 1: whenever you accrue in weeks fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, that's
Speaker 1: your total points. And whoever has the most points from
Speaker 1: that platform at plus what you did in the regular
Speaker 1: season wins wins it all. So I see the arguments
Speaker 1: for both sides, and I would say that the better
Speaker 1: team would win if we do play it out that way.
Speaker 1: But there's a trash talking element, more so in fantasy
Speaker 1: football than fantasy baseball head to head, where it's just
Speaker 1: it's been that way for so long. Are we really
Speaker 1: going to get to that point now where we're really
Speaker 1: talking about best ball? And just like the most points
Speaker 1: scored throughout the season starts to take over as the default.
Speaker 1: One might say for fantasy football, I don't know what
Speaker 1: you think about it. I have what I think, you know.
Speaker 1: I I like the way that we play fantasy football
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm not denying that it is a
Speaker 1: better measurement for the best overall team to go that
Speaker 1: route is to just go buy points points scored. But
Speaker 1: if this takes away like the trash talk, you know,
Speaker 1: we get people calling in about you know, I'm facing
Speaker 1: my wife. We've had a lot of calls about that
Speaker 1: recently as well. Uh, it's just more fun to me
Speaker 1: the trash talk element head to head. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about it, Greggy? Before I give you my thoughts,
Speaker 1: I want to say goodbye to our YouTube audience if
Speaker 1: you have a feeling on this, tweeted us at Road
Speaker 1: to underscore, Frank At, Greg Sausmon're gonnapen up the show
Speaker 1: tomorrow talking about this exact topics. We want to get
Speaker 1: your thoughts calling tomorrow, let us know where you are
Speaker 1: on this debate. You'll get my thoughts in just a moment.
Speaker 1: The frenzies up next Corey Parson, Jim Day, and Chris Ventra.
Speaker 1: If you're listening live in the podcast, thanks for taking
Speaker 1: with us. Obviously subscribe like rate us five stars in
Speaker 1: the comment. If you're live on the radio, we also
Speaker 1: very much appreciate it. We go another four minutes. Where
Speaker 1: am I on this? I hate being the guy I'm
Speaker 1: not calling you out for, but like I hate being
Speaker 1: the guy that says, we've always done this way, but
Speaker 1: we have to do it. I don't like that, and
Speaker 1: I say that often as well, and it's not right.
Speaker 1: And we shouldn't not change just because we've always done
Speaker 1: it this way, because changes sometimes for the better. One percent.
Speaker 1: We all like super flex more now that was not
Speaker 1: the standard ten years ago. Absolutely, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I like super flex, but yes, but yes, exactly, super
Speaker 1: flexily really good response Like PPR is another thing that
Speaker 1: is is the norm now that wasn't ten years ago.
Speaker 1: So another thing that in my leagues that what we
Speaker 1: do is is your continuous waivers, whereas every day the
Speaker 1: waiver pile, the waiver comes goes through rather than any
Speaker 1: first come, first served. Again, that wasn't the standard. Now.
Speaker 1: Some sort of waivers m whether it's every day or
Speaker 1: twice a week or whatever, is the standard in the industry.
Speaker 1: I personally, when it comes to this is recognized almost
Speaker 1: like an auction. That it's more fair is when thousand
Speaker 1: percent more fair, I leave every draft should be an
Speaker 1: auction because football, baseball, basketball, whatever you do, it should
Speaker 1: be an auction because you deserve and you have, You
Speaker 1: should have the right at any player you want. It's
Speaker 1: the fair. If someone has the first overall pick and
Speaker 1: they get Todd Gurley and I had no shot at him,
Speaker 1: that's kulous for no reason. It's like I had the
Speaker 1: worst record last year. It's all random draft order. You
Speaker 1: played the Royal Rumble on a video game. That besides it. Right,
Speaker 1: that's not fair, it's it's look And ultimately, do you
Speaker 1: still want to do Auxtion after the terrible Auxtion team
Speaker 1: you had this year? It was the worst team in history.
Speaker 1: I'm the only person in this country, in this world
Speaker 1: that finished last place with Pat Mahomes and my quarterback
Speaker 1: for one dollar, right, Like, it's ridiculous, but it's fair.
Speaker 1: Like I picked my stupid, effing crafty team using the
Speaker 1: but like I budgeted wrong. I had Odell and Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown and Patrick Mahomes and my running backs wound up
Speaker 1: being mark Ingram, Jordan Howard and Jamal Williams. Like that sucked,
Speaker 1: But that's all my fault. I had an opportunity to
Speaker 1: draft anybody, anybody, Right, that's always my auction argument. Now
Speaker 1: this when it comes to the scoring, I get it.
Speaker 1: It makes sense. It's the most fair. It's what we
Speaker 1: do in the G S T League. There's a point total,
Speaker 1: there's a winner for if you if we win the league.
Speaker 1: But there's another substantial prize, even more substantial prize for
Speaker 1: this exact thing, average your points. We went through thirteen
Speaker 1: and in fourtune, fifteen and sixteen, wherever I the most
Speaker 1: points is your winner. We do that? Is that most fun?
Speaker 1: That's the question. Is that more fun? And my answer,
Speaker 1: quite honestly, is not. I've been ROTI history leagues. I've
Speaker 1: been in weekly leagues in baseball and basketball, and Frank
Speaker 1: and everybody watching and listening to knows, I hate it.
Speaker 1: It's boring. If I'm playing against myself, which is essentially
Speaker 1: what you're doing in a rot Hisstory Baseball league, rot Hisstory,
Speaker 1: Basketball leave. We're not playing anybody. You're playing against yourself.
Speaker 1: And that to me is the least fun part about
Speaker 1: the game. Trying to maneuver and I'm I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it doesn't take more skill, and it does. It takes
Speaker 1: a look out of it. And I know in this
Speaker 1: game we try to take the look out of it.
Speaker 1: I understand it, but I believe by taking the look
Speaker 1: out of it, you're taking the fun out of it.
Speaker 1: So for me, whether it's baseball or basketball or football
Speaker 1: or any fantasy sport I play, I love going head
Speaker 1: to head, even in a DFS like the contest that
Speaker 1: I choose, I'm going head to head again a hundred
Speaker 1: different people, and I may have chosen the wrong contest
Speaker 1: where my cut line is much higher than your cut line,
Speaker 1: and that was just bad luck. I had the opportunity
Speaker 1: to choose whoever I wanted, of course, but it was
Speaker 1: bad luck. But I'm going against other people. I don't
Speaker 1: want to play in a league where i'm literally just
Speaker 1: you know, it's the same thing as it's the DFS,
Speaker 1: where just the scores that matter. That's boring. I can't
Speaker 1: trash talk like you said, I can't analyze the matchup.
Speaker 1: There's no matchup. I'm just hoping your guys don't do well.
Speaker 1: It sucks, it's boring all that having fun, Frankie. Head
Speaker 1: to head is how you have fun, and I think
Speaker 1: the GSC does a good job of kind of incorporating both, right,
Speaker 1: Like maybe that's kind of the move right. In the
Speaker 1: D S T. We have a playoff where whoever wins
Speaker 1: that is obviously the league champion and wins the substantial
Speaker 1: amount of money. But we also have an overall prize
Speaker 1: which goes for the highest point score for the season.
Speaker 1: So again, as I mentioned, to take your point scored
Speaker 1: from the regular season, you divide that by however many
Speaker 1: weeks you played, most leagues, whatever, thirteen weeks. You take
Speaker 1: that point total, and then you add the playoffs, so
Speaker 1: on and so forth. Overall, there you frenzies up next.
Speaker 1: We'll see tomorrow, we hope.
