1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Today on NFL Fantasy Live. In is championship week. If

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: you won your league, congrats, If not, well we'll recap

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: the players that you wish it had, the guys who

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: put up boatloads of points in Week six team and

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: for many league, the fantasy title all comes down to

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Monday night Broncos Bengals, and we're breaking it all down.

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Plosity of your league doesn't crown its champ until Week seventeen.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: Two pieces of advice. One here our favorite Week sevent

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: team matchups, and two quit that league. Man, that's a

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: horrible setup. NFL Fantasy Live starts now. Hello, everybody, will

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: welcome to NFL Fantasy Life, presented by Boats, the official

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy football show of the National Football League. I'm James

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: co alongside this box and Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano. Uh,

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: what's in the box? What's in the box? We will

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment. That's called the tease

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: in our business and extremely tough break for fantasy owners

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: rolling with Andrew Luck in their championship games this week.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: He's brought you this far, but the Colts signal caller

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: pulled a little bit of a disappearing act yesterday and

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: was pulled in the third quarter of the team's blowout

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: loss to your Cowboys. How about them? Luck finished with

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: just zero point three six Fantasy points, a killer blow

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 1: in championship week. Yeah, Molly Caram will likely talk about

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: this because she started Andrew Luck in the league and

25
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't think she did so well. But you know what,

26
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck got you there, and this was just a

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: bad performance by every member of the Indianapolis Colts. Did

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: they have any players in double digit Fantasy points in

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: this game? I think not. My friend, I think they're

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: leading scorer was a Keen Knicks. That's how bad it

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: was from a fantasy perspective for the Indianapolis Colts. Everyone

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Adam Vidit, Terry t Y Hilton was not playing. A

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: lot of people went with Dante Montcres, yourself included. Yeah,

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: about zero point five. It was ugly. Let's just put

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: it that and yet and it's crazy. I think Dante

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: Monkrief still had more points than Andrew Luck. How is

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: that he did. Matt Hasselbeck did too, very good point.

38
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: I think Tim Sorgie and Curtis Painter did as well.

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: All right, Today on the show, you might notice a

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: little Christmas gift here on our set. We're gonna play

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: a little game we like to call box to win us.

42
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: Your guess is in Stay tuned to find out what

43
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: is in the box. In the box, all right, we're

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: gonna get to that and more from the weekend. That

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: was in just a moment, but for now we'll focus

46
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: on the final Monday night game of the year, the

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos visiting the Cincinnati Bengals. Thank you, James. Lots

48
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: of fantasy owners will be watching this one very closely.

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: Payton and company rapping up championship week and Cincinnati all

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: lies on Manning this week, who has been playing through

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: a thigh injury. Really hasn't looked like himself the past

52
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks at him. What can we expect from

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: him tonight? From this is the best he's ever looked.

54
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: This is the perfect way you want to see paid

55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 1: many just handing the ball off the time and that's

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: probably their best chance of winning. But for fantasy owners,

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a little bit uh. You want him

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: to score some more points where you wanted to throw

59
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: the rock a little bit. And thankfully it's a Monday

60
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: night game. Where he likes to go out and shine

61
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: in these opportunity. You know, when he gets the opportunity

62
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: to go out underneath the bright lights. And the last

63
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, as I said, he hand he's handed

64
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: off the ball a lot. This week is his over correction.

65
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: This is the week he's gonna be down there on

66
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: the five yard line and instead of handing it off

67
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: to C. J. Anderson, he's gonna be looking for J

68
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: T DT everybody passing them all off. He's gonna pass.

69
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: So I would feel pretty good if you need twenty

70
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: points for Manning. Feel good if if you've got twenty five,

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: like right, thirty doable whatever. I think this is gonna

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: be a big night. All right, Well we all know

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: to start to marry us. Thomas Emmanuel Sanders not either

74
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: dealing with the flu, but we should expect him to

75
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: be playing today. What kind of numbers where there's an

76
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: app for that, believe it or not, And he has

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: any trainer does give him the Z pack, he'll be fine.

78
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: Three pills, three days, he's good. He'll he'll fight through

79
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: the flu. But I think because of what Adam said, Look,

80
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: Hayton Manning is gonna be back on the upswing. It's

81
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: probably not more of a correction as much as it

82
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: is him coming out of rehab. He needed to rest

83
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: his arm so they can push through now, through the

84
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: final game of the season and through the playoffs. So

85
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: that's why they ran the ball heavy, and we see

86
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: that affected Emmanuel Sanders production zero touchdowns in the last

87
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: four games. That's correlates with the amountain times that they've

88
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: started to go to a more run heavy offense. This

89
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: is a passing team, no doubt about it. Emmanuel Sanders

90
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: of old what we saw in the first six games.

91
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: He's coming back this Monday night. It is a passing team.

92
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: And Julius Thomas hoodwinked as a couple of times whether

93
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: to start him or not. He is playing what do

94
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: we how do we like him? It's disappointing for the

95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks he hasn't gone out and put

96
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: up huge numbers or any numbers at all. But the

97
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: one good thing that he's got working for him is

98
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: that they have that threat of a run game, and

99
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: that's really what you want in this instant when you

100
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: get near that five yard line and inside the red

101
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: zone there you want to have a run game that

102
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: a team has to respect, has to play and so

103
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: anytime you're doing play fakes or anything like that, it

104
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: will freeze a linebacker, I say, and it will allow

105
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: somebody like JT to get open. You can look at

106
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: the stats and say, hey, the Bengals are very tough

107
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: traditionally on tight ends. But there's not a lot of

108
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: times where you go up against the team like the

109
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: Broncos that has so many different weapons that I guess

110
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: throw those stats out the window. Championships are on the line.

111
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: Will these numbers be enough atoman a far Well, you know,

112
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: for a certain fantasy expert here, Michael Fabiano, he needs

113
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: a lot of points from Peyton Manning. And this is

114
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: impressive and I love the background is by the way,

115
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: here twenty points, Michael Fabriano, you become the fantasy champion

116
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,119
Speaker 1: where the expert's got it. We can't. We can't crown

117
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: him just yet. I'm just saying, if you get that

118
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: out of Peyton Manning, that's gonna happen. He needs seventeen

119
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy class Okay, we're rooting for you. On the other

120
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: side of things, let's look at the Bengals and Jeremy

121
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: Hill are clearly the number one guy there in that

122
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: touches the most on the team. This year an impressive

123
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: rookie season for Jeremy Hill, and a lot of people

124
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: expected this, and there were some haters out there, so

125
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: he had to do this Taylor swift and shake them

126
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: off because no one thought that they were going to

127
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: He's gonna be able to supplant a guy like Jiovanni Bernard.

128
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: So impressive in the first part of this season, and

129
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: then we remember what he did last year. We saw

130
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: the hope and the potential there. But this kid is

131
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: a bruiser. He's also a guy that has that athleticism

132
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 1: to get to the edge. Now he's going up against

133
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: the different Broncos and I'm not too high on him

134
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: going up against the Denver Broncos that's giving up seventy

135
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: one a little over seventy one yards per game. This

136
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: defense and this front seven, they're stout and they are

137
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: for real. I'm not seeing it or filling it for

138
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hild. This kid plants to diego State. Yeah, honestly,

139
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: all right, how about Geo Bernard here? Yeah, he just

140
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to perform like he did last season

141
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: when he was a pretty much a standout rookie. And

142
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: now he's got again a tough match up here against

143
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: the Broncos, who has Auguier said, are very tough against

144
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,119
Speaker 1: the run. And it's tough. You know. Geo is somebody

145
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: coming into the season because of his size, he doesn't

146
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: have that frame that allows him to be a bruising

147
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: running back weekend and week out. And if this is

148
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: a cold weather game and the Bengals want to shorten

149
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: it up, Jeremy Hill is a guy they're leaning on.

150
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Geo is more of a change to pace back, which

151
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: is probably the best role suited for him. So I

152
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: don't expect a lot of fantasy but unless I mean,

153
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: if you're starting Geo, then yes, whatever point totally you

154
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: think you need, you'll get it because of your prod

155
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: committed it. How about a J. Green, one of the

156
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: best receivers in the league. You own him, But what

157
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: about from a fantasy perspective here, Well, from a fantasy perspective,

158
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a good game because look,

159
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: the one thing that the Cincinnati Bengals are gonna have

160
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: to do, they're gonna have to move the chain. If

161
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go out there and the extend drives,

162
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna have a hard time doing it

163
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: on the ground, so they're gonna have to go with

164
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: the aerial tech with aeriel Jeremiah uh And So I

165
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: look at j Green and think that this is this

166
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: could be his game. This is gonna be a game

167
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: where he's gonna have some solid points. I say, you

168
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: trust him going against the Denver Broncos again, a very

169
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: tough defense, but he'll bring it. Let's see how much

170
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: you trust him here for seventeen seventeen points. I mean,

171
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: you look at the game, trust you, you look at

172
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: the game plan. It's gonna be simple. Look, they're gonna

173
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: struggle on the ground game. And that's why I'm not gun.

174
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: I do think that Jeremy Hell can find some running room,

175
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: but I do have them slotted for fifty three yards

176
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, three yards and a touchdown a little

177
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: more than that? Okay? Maybe sure? Alright, say tonight when

178
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: watch one in Cootble. All right, remember you can check

179
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: us out again tonight after that game too, am Eastern

180
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: Pacific sy If these guys are right, as we break down,

181
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: all the highlights from the Bronco don't look at me.

182
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: I know you're looking at me. Broncos and Bengals from

183
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective. For now, we send it back to

184
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: James in fabs. I was getting side box toy for

185
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: Atlantis fantasy headlines as we wrap up Week sixteen. Wrap up,

186
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: get it? I got it around the corner. Yeah, that

187
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: was a good one. Brown's quarterback Johnny Manzell left Sunday's

188
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: game in Carolina with the hamstring injury. Manzel said the

189
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: team decided he could play on through the injury if needed,

190
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: but that Hoyer was playing well enough to keep him out.

191
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: Encouraging news. If you're a fan of Johnny football, I

192
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: guess ah, well, if you're playing in a championship in

193
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: week seventeen and you're starting a Brown's quarterback number one,

194
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: how the heck did you get there? Right? Number two?

195
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: Stop it? Stop it because remember Brian Horner has also

196
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: banged up as well, so who knows who's going to

197
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: be the quarterback. Maybe they bring back Bryant's sit. It's

198
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: it's almost as if no skill players for Cleveland or

199
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: are fantasy relevant right now. Right another injury for fantasy

200
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: fancy keep tabs on this week. Falcon's running back Stephen

201
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: Jackson left Sunday's game with a quad injury. ESPN reports

202
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Jackson's injury is not believed to be serious, and he

203
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: could have returned for Week seventeen. FABS. If your league

204
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: has his championship in week seventeen and Jackson is cleared,

205
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: is he at least a flex option? Yeah, I'd say

206
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: he's a flex. Uh. He has been the featured back

207
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: there before he got injured. Then DeVante Freeman had such

208
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: a good game. Well that's Freeman looks so explosive. This

209
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: is for all the marbles. I think they're sticking with

210
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: their veteran as long as he's healthy. But you still

211
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: want to pick up free and just in case handcuff.

212
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Come up. We're breaking down

213
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: all of the decisive performances from this week sixteen Championship week,

214
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: which players disappointing outputs cost managers a title, and which

215
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: of weeks seven sixteens top performers surprised us most. We're

216

Speaker 1: rolling out the red carpet for our fantasy postseason m vps.

Speaker 1: quick strike, robo to the end zone, pay down for

220
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: the touchdown, car catch, touchdown run by short crowd. He's

221
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: gonna get to the end zone touchdown, pa thirds office

Speaker 1: murder of brings it down. Now, try to not to

223
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: grol georgers Wig. Those catches were sick, but that music

224
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: just made it that much more fun. Welcome back into

225
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live. He's Adam rake Off, bar bos b

226
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Emil and Michael Fabiano. Molly came here with you on

227
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: the final day of Week sixteen. I can't believe it right.

228
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: Congratulations to all the owners who wrapped up a win

229
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: so far. And if you're walking away with the hardware.

230
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: Here are the players who probably have to thank. Andrew

231
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: Luck is not on this list. Russell Wilson having himself

232
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: in day, same with Ryan Tannehill and and they're not

233
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 1: even in the playoffs. There, Colin Kaepernick redeeming himself and

234
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: Tony Romo just playing his best football of his career

235
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: right now. But let's focus in now afar on Russell Wilson.

236
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: Here the most passing yards he's had all season, and

237
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: he put Seattle in the driver's seat for the NFC West. Well,

238
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: this is impressive for Russell Wilson. You talk about Russell Wilson,

239
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: and we talked about how many times he's throwing the

240
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: ball under two hundred yards, how many times he's thrown

241
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: the ball for just in the two hundreds before him

242
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: To put out there, go out there and put up

243
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: a three hundred yard performance like he did against a

244
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: very good defense was impressive. And Russell Wilson can play

245
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: like this every single game next year. I mean, there's

246
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: a true talk that he should be the first round

247
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: UH quarterback as he is. I mean, just outstanding man

248
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: obviously showing his ability to run the ball as well.

249
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Great performance by Russell Wilson. He shouldn't be the reason

250
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: why you won your championship. Picking up a rushing TV

251
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: as well. After an ugly three games stretch, Ryan Tannehill

252
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: had himself a day and this was such a fun

253
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: game to watch if you saw this Miami Minnesota games,

254
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: it was and but it wasn't fun if you benched

255
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill because he hadn't done well over the last

256
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and he had really great matchups that

257
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: he couldn't exploit. And on paper, the Vikings had been

258
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: pretty good against quarterbacks, they were really bad against running back.

259
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: So if you started Lamar Miller, you're very happy. But

260
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: three yards, four touchdowns, almost thirty fantasy points, and a

261
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: lot of those points went to waste because again people

262
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: had lost faith in Tannehill yep, makes sense. And people

263
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: also lost faith in Colin Kaepernick Adam, but he's still

264
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: a good fantasy quarterback if he continues to run the

265
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: ball well. For good reason. We lost faith in him

266
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: because he just hadn't delivered so much over the last

267
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. But this particular matchup had to be

268
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: excruciating for anybody who saw their season be eliminated, who

269
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: lost out because they had been starting Kaepernick and we

270
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: didn't see enough of this over the course of the season.

271
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: This is why you made Colin Kaepernick your top quarterback

272
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: was because his ability to run the ball. But for

273
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: whatever reason, the forty Niners really got away from it

274
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: this season. I don't know why. It's not like he's

275
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: built like r G three. This guy is built like

276
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: a running back. He is one of the most well

277
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: put together quarterbacks, probably the most well put the better

278
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: quarterback in the game. They should use that part of

279
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: them and that's the most frustrating things. So hopefully the

280
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: next coach in San Francisco certainly does that. Well. I'll

281
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: tell you one person that everyone's excited about is Odell

282
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: beck Yeah. I mean you look at his performance. You know,

283
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: when Victor Cruz went out, he steps sin and he

284
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: becomes the man, and he took golden back. He owned

285
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: that number one wide receiver position. I'm making the case

286
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: right now that Odell Beckham Jr. I mean should be

287
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: a first rounder. And I said it, and I know

288
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: most people can thinking like what and I know he

289
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: probably won't. This is mostly me to speaking out of emotion,

290
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: but I'm just so proud of the young kid. You know,

291
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: seeing this kid come from the l s U to

292
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: what he's doing now just impressive. I mean, he continues

293
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: to go buy coverages and he just blows right by

294
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: some of the best defensive back he is. I don't

295
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: even know. I'm literally getting choked up here because I

296
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: really do believe that this guy, well what we're surpast

297
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: the likes of a lot of these young wide receivers.

298
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: I think when you look at that young receiver class.

299
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: He's the top, no doubt about it. You know who

300
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: should get you choked up? Philip Rivers? How about that comeback?

301
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: And then we hear he had bulging discs that he

302
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: played with and he's been battling injuries all season and

303
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: it's really hurt his production. And also they've lost their center.

304
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: They've lost about five centers so far this season, it

305
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: seems like. But Philip Rivers still comes out and he

306
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: has games like this. We talked about it on Friday

307
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: a bar. They didn't like this match. It took us

308
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: a while to get there, but we did like this

309
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: because there's a lot going on in San Francisco. There's

310
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: a lot of turmoil, and I should clarify what I

311
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: was saying earlier. I'm I'm jesting. I'm speculating that Harbok

312
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: could yet. He's got one more year left on his contract,

313
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: but there is speculation that he could be moving on.

314
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of turmoil going on that with

315
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: that team, and they put out a pretty good effort.

316
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: Rivers were still able to come out and do pretty well.

317
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: He looked like a team in a quarterback playing for

318
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: a playoff spot at that point in the forty Niners

319
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: looked like they were kind of trudging through it. Hout

320
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: his leading receiver and second leading Russia. Really impressive, FABS.

321
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: I know you love this. Congrats love them Cowboys Division

322
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: champs and Tony Romo playing his best football. I just

323
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: want to soak this in. Soak it in, enjoy just

324
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: this video because Tony Romo, as you said, is playing

325
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: the best football of his career. He's an m VP candidate,

326
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: and if you're talking about fantasy football, he is the

327
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: m v P. Every single week he scored over twenty points.

328
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: He's had twenty plus Fantasy points in five of his

329
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: last six games. Tony Romo likely is the reason you

330
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: won a championship. Now hopefully you can do that for

331
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: my Dallas Cowboys. But there wasn't a better quarterback, Not

332
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, not Andrew Luck, not Peyton Manning, none of

333
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: them were better than Tony Romo. Enjoy it your moments over. Now,

334
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: let's the rest of the weekend's top performers here. Okay,

335
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: I let you relish in it. Who is on my bench?

336
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: A lot of Matt ryan an our championship, Matt Aucata.

337
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: We're going to get into him in Tonyo having a

338
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: night and uh, let's let's focus in here though, enough

339
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: about me. Matt Ausiata rush sixteen times for fifty eight

340
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: yards and not so great but to TD so it's

341
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: basically he's entirely dependent on touchdowns, right, but he scores

342
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: a lot of touchdowns. From a fantasy perspective, If the

343
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: Vikings never went to Jerick McKinnon, Matt Asata would have

344
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: been a top twenty unting back this year based on

345
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: fantasy points. But they decided to go with McKinnon. That

346
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: didn't work out very well. Asta comes back in, becomes

347
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: a featured guy even with Ben take on that roster,

348
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: and the man just scorse touchdowns. It's gonna be very

349
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens with this Vikings backfield. In

350
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: that same game off Bar, if you watch the first half,

351
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller was pretty much Miami's entire offense. Well he

352
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: should have been. I mean, remember how high we were

353
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: on Lamar Millard. This is the image and this is

354
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 1: the visual that everyone will see going into twenty And remember,

355
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: don't remember remember ten and remember this game against the

356
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, because he put everything on full display. We

357
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: saw him in the passing and he had fifty eight yards.

358
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: We saw him on the run. You give Lamar Miller

359
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: of the ball, Yeah, he's gonna give you a hundred

360
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: and fifty four hundred fifty yards with twenty four carries.

361
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: Lamar Millard just a sensational run. And if you've had him,

362
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you must have just been I

363
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: mean outside of your mind. You was just going crazy

364
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: knowing that Lamar Miller put up big numbers like points.

365
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: You know else has been lighting it up, Jonathan Stewart.

366
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: And is it fair to say he is a good

367
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: bet at this point regardless of D'Angel williams status. Well,

368
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean when it's him, when it's him by himself,

369
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: he is without a few peers. He is really somebody

370
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: who can really do so many things well on the

371
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: football field. It's a whole well see the way he

372
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: extended the run right there, there's a lot of It's

373
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: like when the Daily Show went from Craig Killboard to

374
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: John Stewart, it got that much better. You don't know,

375
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: you should watch would would help you out? Okay, thank you?

376
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: I I like him though, he's been really great. As

377
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: you see right there, he's gotten the majority of the

378
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: carries over the last three weeks, and when he gets

379
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: that opportunity, he's really a fantastic talent. The problem is

380
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: he just can't stay healthy for the entire course of

381
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: the season. But this week he's got to go all

382
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: in because they've got a lot to play for that

383
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: and they're playing in Atlanta. So if you keep playing

Speaker 1: Fantasy Awards. Are you saw Doug Martin and Zach Stacy there,

397
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: two ofens biggest disappointments. But Adam, the sting of those

398
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: two guys nothing compared to the searing pain of having

399
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: one of Week sixteens biggest left downs basically cost you

400
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: a championship. We heard about Andrew Luck not even getting

401
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: you one point? How about Greg Olsen here two points?

402
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: That's a pretty solid fantasy squad right there? Sure is

403
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: that that was your team. He'd be like, I'm winning this.

404
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: How does Matt Stafford put up less than six? It

405
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: makes no sense because the Bears are awesome? And then

406
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: Jeremy Maclin with six points there, He was definitely a

407
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: disappointment as well. I thought he was going to have

408
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: a huge day as well. Andre Johnson there, But how

409
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: about Tom Brady? Right well, this actually was good news

410
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: for anybody. I don't know if this would pertain to

411
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: anybody in particular, but let's say you've had Tom Brady

412
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: dropped him in like Week four, Like you would see

413
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: this performance in the playoffs and be like, you know what,

414
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: I feel bad that I didn't didn't hold on to

415
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: him for the course of the season, But you know what,

416
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: the most impressive thing I took from this game was

417
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: that Rex Ryan's team came out and played so hard

418
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: the last time that I I feel good if if

419
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan does go on, if he if something happens,

420
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: if he is relieved of his duties this season and

421
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: ends up either in another coaching job or something like that,

422
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: I would feel good about that because his players are

423
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: still playing hard for him. And you know, Bill Belichick

424
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: wanted to go out and send a message, send a

425
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: message to Rex justin Kase, you know, move on. But

426
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: that was a very impressive performance by the Jets. Not

427
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: so much by Tom Brady and not so much here

428
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: by Drew Brees. I want to hate you know. You

429
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 1: hear a lot of people talk about setting up your

430
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: team for the playoffs, showy thing, and you looked at

431
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and you like the matchup going up at

432
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: home against the Falcons. But you love that matchup. Over

433
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: the course of the season, Drew Brees has had so

434
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: many great matchups at home and has failed to deliver

435
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: the bizarre a Saint season. You know what. And I

436
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: was sitting there and when I was writing like dislike

437
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: this week, I actually mentioned I said, he's so many

438
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: times he has great matchups at home doesn't come through.

439
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: But even then, even then, you thought, you know what,

440
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs looming. A quarterback who has won a Super

441
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Bowl title, he's gonna come through and he loves playing

442
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons as well. Matt was telling his all kinds

443
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: of stats, basically telling us Drew Brees was in line

444
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: to have a monster performance. It did not true, you know,

445
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: Justin Force said, We've been kind of, you know, giving

446
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: his praises, singing his praises all season, and when it's

447
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: down to it though, he hasn't performed. I'm I'm torn

448
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: on this one because Justin Forsett was somebody who I

449
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: was able to pick up on the waiver wire and

450
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: carried me pretty far in my league of record, and

451
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: yet he let me down at the end. And so

452
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: now I'm kind of at a crossroads where, you know what,

453
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I'm upset with him. I really it's

454
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: it's fine to get to the playoffs, but you know what,

455
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: the whole in my household, it's all about the championship.

456
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: It's not good. We don't we don't hang banners for

457
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: playoff appearances. We only hang because absolutely so, it's gotta

458
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: be championship or not think so, you know what, I'm

459
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: officially upset with Corset and any callumnus in my vises.

460
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, whoa, whoa worry? Whoa? How about Jamal Charles?

461
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: Though again the Steelers have been struggling defensively. You thought, okay,

462
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, he's gonna have a pretty nice afternoon, you

463
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: know what, Alex Smith, Jamal Charles. Both of these guys

464
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: major disappointments in this game. And it's tough. You know,

465
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: if you think about your fantasy draft back in August, Yes,

466
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: the top four running backs that came off the board.

467
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: Think of those guys, the only one who really played

468
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: well Sunday he was good, but he had been so

469
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: bad for a long stretch season. Matt Forte was doing

470
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: pretty good, but he had a couple of clunkers getting

471
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: up to this week's playoff game. So it's tough. So next,

472
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm not drafting anybody ever. You're not, and I'm not,

473
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not picking up anybody off the waiver wire

474
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: because they all everyone everybody disappoints. But well, what do

475
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, Adam ran kates everyone? How weird? How dare

476
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: you dislike? Is now? It's edition of groom your line

477
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: of presented by head and shoulders molling he loves me,

478
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: just saying all right, thank you, James. Each week we

479
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: come through NFL dot COM's Fantasy Genius tool to answer

480
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: questions asked by our viewers helped groom their lineups. This week,

481
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: we are looking at some keeper question marks for season fabs.

482
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: This first one here, who should I keep? Do you

483
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: of Onny Bernard or Isaiah Crowell? Well, right now, I'm

484
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: saying Geo's he's a better running back. He is a

485
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: more versatile running back. And I honestly don't know what's

486
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: going to happen with the Cleveland Brown's backfield. In Cincinnati.

487
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: We know it's gonna be Jeremy Hill and Geo, and

488
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 1: people forget that. Earlier in this season, Giovanni Bernard got

489
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: enough some fantasy the points, and then Jeremy Hill came

490
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: in after you got hurt, and things sort of went

491
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: sideways for Geo. But Crowell hasn't been that great lately either,

492
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: and there could be a committee in Cleveland as well

493
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: because of that. I like the more versatile player. I'm

494
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: going with Gio Bernard. Where would you take it round?

495
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: I think he's probably gonna end up going somewhere in

496
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 1: the fifth or sixth round next year. But we've got

497
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: a long time between then and this we do, and

498
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: a lot can change. For who should I keep, Calvin

499
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: Benjamin or Brandon Marshall. I'm gonna go Kelvin Benjamin. You

500
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: look at what he's done so far this year, yards,

501
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns. I don't know what that means in a

502
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: card game or anything else, but to me, that sounds

503
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: like all right. When you get all those nines line

504
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: up there, He's gonna be a thousand yard receiver this year,

505
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: no doubt about it when you look at his production

506
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: and what he's done. But then you also look at

507
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: the upside as well. This is his first year in

508
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean he's gonna be growing with Cam Newton.

509
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: Whereas when you look at Brandon Marshall, it's very unsure

510
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Only have the same offense, we really

511
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: have the same coach, what's going on? There's a lot

512
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: of question marks there in Chicago. So I'm gonna go

513
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: with Calvin Benjamin. I love this size, I love this speed,

514
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: and I think he can give you a lot more

515
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: for a lot longer. Yeah, at this point seems to

516
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: be more subside, no question, fab This one is for you.

517
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: Would you go with Peyton Manning the typical pocket passer

518
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: or Russell Wilson Getting your points with this really all

519
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: depends because keeper leagues have so many different rules and

520
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So if you're in a league

521
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: where you can only keep a guy for a year

522
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: or two, I'm going to Peyton Manning here. If it's

523
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: more long term or if it's dynasty, the answer is

524
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: clearly Russell Wilson. But I still think Peyton Manning has

525
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: a couple of good years left in him, and he's

526
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: got more skins on the wall than Russell Wilson doesn't. Again,

527
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: this is only if you're in a keeper league where

528
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: a short term there's so many different rules and keeper

529
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: leagues there's players who are in a contract and you

530
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: have to give him back. You lose a round the

531
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: player you keep. So in that case, I wouldn't give

532
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: up a first round pick for Peyton Manning. I I'd

533
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: rather keep Russell Wilson for what's probably an eighth, ninth

534
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: round or something like that. But I don't think Peyton

535
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: Manning's fantasy season's uh greatness is dead just yet. I

536
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: still think he has a couple of good cheasons left. Now,

537
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 1: all right, let's move to the running back position. Now

538
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: a bar. Who would you rather have Joke Bell or

539
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: mark Ingram. This will shock you, but I'm gonna go

540
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: with mark Ingram. And I saw joint Bells performance. But

541
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: I also have a certain belief in mark Ingram. And

542
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: and this is gonna be really interesting. We've seen what

543
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: he's done so far this year n seven yards this season,

544
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns. I'm very impressive with that same time, and

545
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: he's missed a lot of times. And then also we've

546
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: seen him go through the carousel of different running backs

547
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: as well. So he's done all of that and still thrived.

548
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: Imagine a situation of scenario where of course he's coming

549
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: up at the end of his contract now, so he'll

550
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: be a free agent if he gets in a situation.

551
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: I remember Mark Turner, excuse me, uh, Michael Turner when

552
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: he was behind Ladanian Thompson when to a new team

553
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: became the man that verywell could happen with mark Ingram,

554
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: where he could just go out to another place and

555
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: become become that man. Yeah, both good options, but mark

556
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: Ingram getting Madge there. Thank you guys. That's some good

557
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: keeper advice. There more to come throughout the week right

558
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: here on NFL Fantasy Life. That was groom your line

559
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: of presented by Head and Shoulders coming up, the final

560
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: edition of that helps no one, and boy is getting

561
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: good one. Warm up those pocal chords and if your

562
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: championship game doesn't kick off until next week, you're still

563
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: in luck. We've got some good matchups to take advantage

564
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: of even if you're starters, sit on the bench on Sunday.

565
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: That's next coming up. If you can muster up one

566
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: point when you want jiggle watts of power, fire up

567
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: the fantasy DeLorean. What would you go back and change

568
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: about your fantasy season? Our experts are gonna share their

569
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: biggest regrets coming up. Plus strug up the band because well,

570
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: not only do these touchdowns help no one in fantasy,

571
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: some of the names are the absolute best in the business. Plus,

572
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: like a present under the Christmas tree, we all want

573
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: to know what's in the box. Here's the hint. It's

574
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: an end of the season fantasy challenge for one of us,

575
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: and will whoever gets the box actually go through with said, challenge,

576
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: what's in the box as well? That's what we're all right,

577
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: let's look ahead the next year. If you were the

578
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: commissioner of your respective leagues, what's one rule you've changed

579
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: from standard scoring leagues for next season? Guys, Well, one

580
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: of the things that I hear the most complaints about

581
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: during the postseason is that it's too much luck, and

582
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of luck involved. Unfortunately, it wasn't Andrew

583
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: luck exactly because he was lousy yesterday. But go ahead

584
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: and shorten your regular season to twelve weeks and then

585
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: only have four teams make the playoffs, and then you

586
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: have two week playoffs, so the semifinals will be in

587
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: thirteen and fourteen, the finals are in fifteen and sixteen,

588
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: and that should eliminate at least some of the luck

589
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: that's involved in the fantasy playoffs. It's a good it's

590
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: a good idea, But if you truly want to do that,

591
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: then just get rid of head to head, go total

592
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: points and then there it goes. Then you're the fantasy

593
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: maverick in everything. But come on, yeah, no, I like it.

594
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean it makes a lot of sense. But the

595
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: fun of it is that the end of the season.

596
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: You know, somebody get's lucky every once in a while,

597
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: it's very good, like regular football rank will stick with you.

598
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: What what would you change if? Here's my thing? This

599
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: is the deal. I don't like when, like you know,

600
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: you have Darren Sprowls and he fumbles on a punt

601
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: and you lose those points, and yet when he scores

602
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown, you don't get the point. You don't get

603
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: so figure it out one way or the other. I

604
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: personally would just rather not listen. I got it my time,

605
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: my I get about. I would like to say though,

606
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: that I just make a decision either you're counting the

607
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: special teams or you're not eliminate that he fumbled on

608
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: a punt and you lose those points, because it just

609
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. Just make it consistent either way you

610
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: want to go. If you want to score the touchdowns,

611
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: say yeah for the player and not to defense special teams.

612
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: To make a decision, because it's it's half. It's too

613
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: much one way, it's too negative, not more positivity. Now

614
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: you don't problem. Okay, that doesn't sound like that doesn't

615
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: always like you're all make no sense at all? A part?

616
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: How about yourself? Well, look, I would uh, well, let

617
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: me be clear, okay, are you I would. I would

618
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: exercise I would exercise the ability to eradicate standard UH

619
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: leagues and go with PPRS. I have lost too many

620
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: games this year when uh where Sasha and Malia, Well

621
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: they're not here, but this is lost too many. I

622
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: lost way too many games uh this year without having

623
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: those extra catches. I went back and looked, I probably

624
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: would have won six or seven more games this year,

625
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: even more if if we were in a PPRT. I

626
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: want to get rid of standard. Yeah, I want to

627
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: get rid point. I want my players to score more

628
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: right touchdowns for my team standard. Let's just go all

629
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: pp I will actually love you back on that. I

630
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: love PPR leagues, but I like PPR leagues where the

631
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: quarterback stop fantasy quarterback actually score six points for a

632
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: passing touchdown. In PPR least we're passing touchdowns are four.

633
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: It's just too heavily waited against quarterbacks. And I know

634
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: people say, well that means some got some quarterbacks will

635
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: take over a game. We'll listen. Yeah that's real life. Man,

636
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: Arizona Card knows about that. So yeah, so I would.

637
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: I would definitely advocate passing touchdowns being six. I think

638
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: it's just more reflective of how the game is being played.

639
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot more emphasis on the quarterback, and our

640
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: fantasy game should also reflect that as well. Well. I

641
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: would actually then get rid of the extra running back.

642
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: Just go one right because there's so many running back

643
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: by committees and instead of having two running backs something

644
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: and extra flex guy to flex is one running back. Yeah. See,

645
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: now we're just getting out. Now, we're just getting still

646
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: to come. We're asking for a mulligan or three. Three

Speaker 1: during the course of a long season. Not these guys

658
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: that you can change one thing about your fantasy season.

659
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: What would it be, Mr Fabiano? You might laugh at

660
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: this because of what he did yesterday or what he

661
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: didn't do, But I would have drafted Andrew Luck. This

662
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: is a guy who had a fourth round a DP

663
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: and he's the top championship because of Andrew Luck. I

664
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: understand that. But you probably got to the championship because

665
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: of Andrew Lucky. And next year, I mean, he's a

666
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: first round pick and I don't think there's any question

667
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: about it. I'm still a little bitter about that one.

668
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: Ryan on my bench, racking up the point. This isn't

669
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: about me, up for what would you change? Well, you know,

670
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: this year I implemented a new strategy, drafting wide receivers

671
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: back to back rounds first and second. I went with

672
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson A J. Green. I would make it, all right, No,

673
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: I didn't, And I didn't make it the play. I

674
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: didn't even see the player. I don't even think I

675
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: saw three victories. Okay, so that's how bad it was.

676
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, I would probably have gone back and went

677
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: for a running back. I had Frank Gore's by running

678
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: back and he was what rank finished like sixteen, Uh,

679
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: not very good. And then you look at a J Green,

680
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson respected injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries, and then

681
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: seventeen and twenty one it just didn't work for me.

682
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: So I would have done that different. I would have

683
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: went for a running back. I needed a premier running back,

684
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: which I ended up trading for later on in the

685
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: season to get Justin for Si who was the eighth

686
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: ranked running back. But that was too late. I mean,

687
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: you get those two bias, you figure you're all right.

688
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah I thought so, But what did you learn hindsight?

689
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: By the way, don't drop Tom Brady after week four?

690
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: Never count. Don't drop Tom Brady after week four. I

691
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: dropped him in our NFL Fancy Live week because you know,

692
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: he played Kansas City a week four. I think he

693
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: put nine points, maybe less. He was awful, terribul and

694
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: he looked terrible. And then of course, right after week four,

695
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: the guy starts exploding a week after week after weekend.

696
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: This was a situation where I absolutely needed a quarterback

697
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: on my team. I think I was running Ryan Tannehill

698
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: out there, Carson Palmer was running out I think Molly

699
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: can relate to this. This is like an old Roberto

700
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: Cavalli name brand dress that you had that you just

701
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: store in the close and you bring it out for

702
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: later out of style. Well, guys, if I could change

703
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: one thing this year, it would have been fewer touchdowns

704
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: that help no one handed off to done Molly. That's right.

705
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: Each week we'd take a look back at those unheard

706
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: of players who robbed precious fantasy points. When the guys

707
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: we actually started on Sunday, it's a tear jerker from

708
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: some curtain jerkers in a segment we like to call,

709
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: and we start in Santa Clara and Colin Kaepernick. We

710
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: all gave up on him. We will not look at

711
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: his long touchdown run. Instead, we will look at that

712
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: Bruce Sellington. We'll cut it down. Well, hello, Mr fancy pants,

713
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: you aren't nothing but two things help and no one

714
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: Because Philadelphia turns big wheels keep on turning. Freddie Wade

715
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: and why is he not rewarded with he played so well?

716
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris once again vultured by Darryl Young right there,

717
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: because why would you want to reward your running back

718
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: who's helping you out so much? I heard Mr Young

719
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: sing about it Jay Gruden put him down. I hope

720
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: Darryll Young will remember a Southern man. Don't need him

721
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: round anyhow, because to the meadow Lands, Gino Smith, do

722
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: you get off the field. We just want to see

723
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: Tom Or do this. That's fine, throwing it right on,

724
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: God on God, I will do you for your fantasy points,

725
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: that is, Jeff, Actually none of Actually you know what.

726
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: I had to wear Cumberland boots for a year because

727
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: this because you know it was a pond. Molly, everybody else,

728
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: anybody who watches scient got it. Here it is. I'm

729
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: just gonna call it out. Davante Freeman sitting there running.

730
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm so glad the Falcons didn't use this guy all here.

731
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: Why would you want a guy who's able to just

732
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: run into the end zone when the other strategy that

733
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: the Falcons had of just going for five wins and

734
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: winning the NFC South works so well. Here it is. Yeah,

735
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: we didn't see any of this all year, and there

736
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: it is. He's running, yet nobody's stopping him. Thank you

737
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: for keeping that on the bench all year, because that

738
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: helps St. Louis the local football club wearing those l

739
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: A Rams jerseys just to troll me. And the giants

740
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: are trolling us right here. I feel that every time

741
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: they get inside the twenty, they should have to throw

742
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: it to O'Dell Beckham Junior. Instead it's Orleans dark Qua

743
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: and this is a real name. Oh you're not going

744
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: to go into the Shrek from the case the bad

745
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: guy from Shrek. Where he's from? That's what I want.

746
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: I want to look up. I think he's Nigerian. Okay

747
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: struck up the band because mercifully saving us. As we

748
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: go to Oakland, the bills they and special game is

749
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: so good. Derek Carr has other ideas as he goes

750
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: to Jamay's la wa No, no, that is he's Nigerian

751
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: and I can't believe you just just just destroyed his name.

752
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: Well maybe I'm Maybe I'm jam May's that the way

753
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: he steals points all the time, Maybe I'm Jamais. And

754
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: the way he helps no one, maybe Jamays because that

755
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: helps where the Nigerian ran out of luck looking Andrew Luck,

756
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: He's like, I couldn't even do that one time, not

757
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: one time for Molly. I could not a touchdown into

758
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: the end zone. Instead, Jim Sorgi in there. They'll solid

759
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: that was a jim z out to the Zerlon Tipton,

760
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: and I say to that the epicenter here it is

761
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: Aryan Foster. Of course he throws the ball. Okay, listen,

762
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: if you're Bill O'Brien and your choices are Aryan Foster

788
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,520

789
00:39:50,600 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: that box? Box? Hello again, this is NFL Fantasy Live,

790
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: presented by bo NFL dot Com. League's Crown their champ

791
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: this week since week seventeen, a little hard to predict. Yeah,

792
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: but for those leagues that continue, congratulations. In two weeks seventeen,

793
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: we're offering up some favorable matchups to keep an eye

794
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: on FABS. Get us started, and I understand you're liking

795
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart and he has an awesome matchup this week

796
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: and he is the featured back for the Carolina Panthers

797
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: right now, going up against the Atlanta Falcons, who have

798
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: one of the worst run defenses in the National Football League.

799
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: They are a very easy matchup to predict because when

800
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: the running backs go up against Atlanta typically they're couldn't

801
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: produced for your fantasy football team. And Jonathan Stewart right

802
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: now is not only playing for the Carolina Panthers playoff lives,

803
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: but he's playing for next year or two. Because this

804
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: guy is talented, but he can never stay healthy. He's

805
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: no DeMarco Murray though good play and hand see I

806
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: can give credit where credit stay shout out to DeMarco there.

807
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: How about Calvin Benjamin, same game, same team, with my

808
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: helmet but no, But when you're talking about Calvin Benjamin,

809
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 1: he's going This is a great match up for Calvin

810
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: Benjamin going up against the secondary group that has really

811
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: struggled all season long. And then they have an injury

812
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: course their other cornerback, Robert Alfer, he's down. He's out

813
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: for this game. So now you look at this divisional

814
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: matchup going for that divisional league. Who's gonna be first

815
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: place in the n c O well least or whatever

816
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: you wanna call it, South South. But I say this,

817
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin will have a big game. If you're playing

818
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin, this is your guy to determine if you're

819
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: gonna win the championship game. Consider it handled like might

820
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: just be a keeper as well, Adam. Another secondary that's

821
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: struggling is the Eagles. O. D. B is gonna tear

822
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: him up. Absolutely. I know it might be a little

823
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: silly to come out and say that Odell Beckham Jr.

824
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: Has a great matchup, but you know what else is

825
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: silly playing a Week sevent team champions so that I'm

826
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna come out with a little bit of sass and

827
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: let you know the obvious of both of those situations.

828
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: But you know what, putting this into next season, this

829
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: to me should be the first receiver off the ball.
