(00:00):
Well, here we are. Wemade it. It is fantasy football playoff
time. Well that's great for someof you. It's time to review your
fantasy team. Here now, commissioners, time for fantasy freaking football. You
(00:23):
guys can tell me what it's likein the fantasy of football playoffs. This
year didn't make it. Wow,Hey, listen, this was not a
good year for me. It hasn'thappened to me in a long time.
I was thinking about it, andI've made at least in our work league
the playoffs for I want to say, the last ten years, I haven't
missed playoffs. Well, this yearwas a just a mitigated disaster. It
(00:46):
was unbelievable what happened. I mean, by last I want to say five
weeks or so, my team justgot destroyed with injuries. I could not
do anything. Any move I makewhat wasn't the right move. That's what
happened to me last year. Itwas bad. I finished in second to
last and every move I made waswrong. And then even on weeks there
was like five weeks in role wasprojected to win and I would score the
(01:07):
least points in the league week afterweek after week. I mean I looked
at the projections this last week,and you know, I knew I wasn't
gonna make the playoffs, but II'm not the kind of guy that's just
gonna give up and be like,I'm not gonna you know, I never
know. Well, there's playoff hopeson the line for some So I'm not
gonna be that guy. I wantto try and you know, mess somebody's
you know, thing up. Andso I put up a good lineup.
(01:27):
It was supposed to be a closegame. I think I lost by fifty
points. By fifty points. Andyou know, really, who's screwed me
all year? Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, Patrick Mahomes was garbage all year long.
Dravis Kelsey, I have him inthe I don't I hate myself for
drafting him because I could have draftedTyreek Hill. I'll never forget myself.
And he's I'm in the playoffs,but like he's supposed to be my guy.
(01:52):
Yeah, and he's just letting medown week after week after week.
And it's not that he's getting nopoints. He's getting like thirteen points,
fourteen points. But that's not whyyou d after him in the first round.
I drafted him for twenty five forPatrick Mahomes, you know nothing of
it, but again that's a that'swhy you draft him so high and he's
given you average points and it's stunning. Honestly, it was really stunning year
for him just to utter just adisappoint They're just not good this year.
(02:14):
Yeah, this is their first,this is his first not good year.
And I don't want to say he'shaving a bad year, but for him
a winning team, but I don'tlook the same. They're eight and five,
they don't look like say, theydon't look like the team that's gonna
win the Super Bowl. Yeah,it has been really bad for me.
So for the I think the firsttime ever we've had this work league that
I hurt league for gosh, almosttwenty years now, and you know,
(02:38):
I've been in it ever since thebeginning, and for the first time ever,
I finished in dead last. Wow. So we do with the thing
just like the NFL does for ournext year is based on the standing,
so it's the reverse order. SoI will have the number one pick next
year, which I've never had.I've never had the number one pick.
You start to oh, yeah,I'm in there, man. It looks
(02:59):
like McCaffrey problem I get, butyeah, no, it's gonna be very
different. And then in our otherleague that were in Door and I,
it basically came down to the lastweek, you know, there was I
didn't realize there was only six spotsavailable. I thought it was an eighteen
playoff team. So really, Imean it was only like one spot basically
(03:20):
between three of us, me,you and one other guy. And it
was looking pretty good for me.I was like, Okay, I'm looking
like I'm gonna make it looks likeit's gonna be okay. And then Raheem
Moster scored another touchdown which knocked meout of the playoffs because he beat the
other the guy that was he didn'tthink it was gonna win, and that
guy won, so he knocked meout. But I mean, if it
(03:42):
would have ended up him not scoringthat touchdown, I was in. And
now I missed the playoffs in thatone too. So I mean it's just
been a brutal year, absolutely brutalyear. And it was a terrible time
for Jared Goff to have a hisworst game in the year. Yeah,
so that that screwed me because Ihad to put off because I had Joe
Burrow in that other league and hegot hurt, and so yeah, it's
(04:03):
just been a mess. Honestly,it's been a mess in all of my
leagues. And I did the thingwhere I usually don't do, where I
drafted pretty much the same team overyou know, all team hurt, I
mean, and it's what happened.It really, it really was a disaster
for me. So not great,but congratulations you. I mean, you
started out as one of the worstteams I've ever seen. Oh and five
(04:25):
injury I started anything before the yearstarted. Travis Kelsey got hurt. Then
in the first game of the year, I lost Aaron Rodgers and JK.
Dobbins, and then I lost andthen I picked up the guys I picked
up they got hurt. Then itwas just one thing after another. After
Darren Waller wasn't tight end one andhe's still out with a hamstring injury.
Dude, I said, I tweetedit out today to a Giant guy.
(04:46):
I know, I'm like, justcut ties with the Giants, are gonna
cut ties with this guy. Hiscareer may be over him. He can't
stay healthy. He's got so muchtalent, but he's tied in one.
But he's Yeah, I started outoh and five with the least points in
the league. Then the best Imade all years, picking up Dak Prescott,
he's been on tear, and thenmy guys just showed up. I'm
on Ross Saint Brown, Davonte Smith, uh, Javonte Williams had some good
(05:09):
games in there, and I justgot lucky with that, and I start
not only was I winning, Iwas scoring the most points. I've kind
of cooled off a little bit,which is scary with the playoffs starting.
Some a little worried because I'm onRoss Saint Brown hasn't been good, Dak
had a down game, Travis Kelseyhasn't been that great, so I'm a
little nervous. But but I'm butthe fact, yeah, but the fact
that I went from owen to fiveto making the playoffs, I mean,
(05:30):
that's just awesome. I thought Iwas gonna bean last. And then in
our work league, you're in thatone as well. And my team's on
fire right now, knock on wood. So we'll see. Because in my
in our work league, I've madeit to the playoffs almost every year except
for last year, I think,and a couple of times I made it
to the finals, and I justI always get unlucky in this league,
and so I'm very even though I'mprojected to win. I have Josh Allen,
(05:51):
Christian McCaffrey, You've won. I'venever won that league. I just
I'm still very nervous. I'm verynervous. I got Pookah, I got
she Rice. My team is loaded, but I'm very nervous. We'll see
what happens. You know, hopefullysomebody on this show can get away.
I know I'm done, So itis what it is. We do have
a bunch of questions this week aswe well, we're heading in the playoffs,
(06:14):
so you know, people get nervouslike you get nervous, and they're
not the second guests themselves. Soyou can hit us up on Twitter or
x at the show, thor atthe show Eddie. You can email us
your questions. We'll try to getto them. Your first question is it
says I need a win and I'min for their fantasy playoffs, so this
is it sounds like they're not quiteat their fantasy playoffs yet. Have a
tough start. Sit decision between MatthewStafford and Tua against the Jets. Oh
(06:41):
really, who do you like,Oh, Matthew Stafford all day. The
Commanders have by far the worst secondaryin the NFL. Matt Stafford's going to
light them up with Cupp and Pooka. Kyron Waims will also have a big
game. And then I am nottouching Tua with the Jets, And that's
gonna hint you towards our starts andsits. The Jets defense. I can't
stand the Jets cockiness. I can'tstand there. How great they think they
(07:02):
are, but their defense is reallygood. Don't let how bad their offense
is fool you. Tua may nothave Tyreek Hill in this game. If
it is Tyreek Hill, he's goingto be injured. I would not start
two of this week. Well,you could see the difference in their offense.
It was completely different in the gamethis past week. And so yeah,
if he doesn't play, it's acoming love, and it's against a
(07:24):
team that kind of shut him downlast time. They played. That pick
six for ninety three yards completely changedthe game, but that was only ten
to three at halftime. They weren'tlighting the Jets up either. Yeah,
Stafford isn't my favorite choice, buthe has looked pretty good you know as
of late and TWOA is a toughchoice this week, So yeah, I
would I think you'd be okay withStafford. Next question says heading into the
(07:46):
playoffs here, congratulations Between se Quon, Tony Pollard, Jamiir Gibbs, Demon
eight Chan, who which three wouldyou pick for Week fifteen? Loaded running
backs crew? There? That's toughbecause they all have tough matchups. Oh,
man, I honestly don't know.I'd definitely go with Jamiir Gibbs because
(08:07):
they when it's the Lions need torealize they need to win some games.
Here. They got a tough matchupthough against who are they playing the Lions?
They're playing the Broncos. Bronco's gota good run defense. I'd still
go with Jamiir Gibbs. And thenI would also go with a Chon because
a Chan. And then it's betweenSaquon and Pollard. Man, it's a
toss up because I think Saquan isthe better back, but that they're run
(08:28):
blocking is terrible. I don't knowwhat do you think? Any Yeah,
I mean I'm taking Saquon, butI'm going probably Saquon Pollard and a Chan
for me, that's fine, too. Yeah. I mean, honestly,
you are loaded. You can't reallygo wrong with any of these. There's
a reason why you're in the playoffs. You have great backs. I would
probably trade in one of those,although Han did miss a lot of times,
(08:50):
so you know, I get that, But he seems like he's,
you know, a fantastic start.Does worry me though, now that I
think about it, that most startgot the touchdowns that does, so then
maybe you know most but you neverknow. Yeah, it is tough,
so maybe that's why you go Gibbs. Yeah, I think it's honest.
I'm starting with my guys. I'msticking with Saquan and Pollard, and then
(09:11):
that that third spot is tricky,you know so, But I mean,
I think you're fine with with eitherone. Honestly. This one says happy
Fantasy playoffs to you guys, notfor me. It says I'm putting Trey
McBride in at tight end. Uhand but he has a PPR flex spot.
So it's between Dallas Goddard, ZachMoss, Keaton Mitchell who's that I
(09:33):
don't even know who Keaton Mitchell is, and Curtis Samuel. Who do you
like? That's tough. I don'tlike Goddard is coming back from the injury.
They're playing a vulnerable Seahawks team,but it's in Seattle. And then
Zach Moss has been a massive disappointmentthe last couple of weeks since Todd Jonathan
Taylor went down, and but they'replaying a Steelers team that is reeling.
(09:56):
So I'd probably go with Zach justbecause you know he's the starter. You
know he's gonna get the ball twentytimes. So that's why I go with
Zach Boss. Keaton Mitchell apparently ison Baltimore as a running back. I
don't trust Baltimore's got a great runninggame, but you never know who's the
guy. Is it Gus Edwards?Is it Mitchell? Is it Lar?
Is it? No chance? I'mnot looking at anybody like that. I
(10:20):
do like Dallas Godder to have youknow, he's finally back. I like
him this week a lot. ButI mean, if I got Zach Moss,
I'm rolling the dice. I'm stickingwith Zach Moss, you know,
I mean, he's put up somegreat points this year when Jonathan Taylor wasn't
in there. I know, youknow, he's been disappointed the last couple
weeks. But to me, that'syour guy. That's the guy. Unless
Jonathan Taylor plays. It doesn't looklike he's gonna play, which sucks because
(10:43):
I have him in fantasy. Butyeah, then i'd start. And also
to t J, Watt may notplay his concussion protocol, So then you
know, I got a quarterback question, says I lost Herbert. Well,
that states ten and four in theplayoffs. Now, who do you guys
think would be a good streamer thisweek? I currently do have Kyler Murray
as my backup, but he's goingagainst the tough forty nine ers. Is
(11:03):
there anybody out there that you wouldpick up? See Kyler Murray. I
think you're gonna win this game.It's a little bit of a trap game,
but it's in division, so theyshould play tough. But he usually
plays well against the Niners, andhe played really well against the Steelers.
I think you may be able toget a couple rushing touchdown, maybe one
or two. Maybe a rushing touchdownfrom him maybe, So I don't know
about two wild I unless there's somebodyon the waiver wire that really blows you
(11:28):
away, like Matt Stafford, who'splaying the Commanders, I'd stick with Kyler
Murray. Yeah, I mean,you can't go wrong. I don't think
Kyler Murray is a terrible start.I mean, honestly, you know,
you know, I know it's atough matchup. And who's gonna be on
the waiver wires. Yeah, Imean that's the hard part. So yeah,
I think if Kyler Murray was onthe waiver, I'd tell you to
pick him up, so might aswell go with him. Final question here,
(11:50):
says managed to get into the playoffswith a six and eight record.
Though I do am third the highestscorer in the league. My question is
it's in a PPR. I needto between Austin Eckler, Moss, and
Garrett Wilson. Who do you likeprocess. I also have Taylor, but
it just depends if you get Iprobably go Moss and Eckler. I just
(12:11):
Garrett Wilson finally had a big game. It was his biggest game of the
year, like twenty two points.But I just I'm sorry, I don't
trust the Jets offense and Zach Wilsonto get him the ball. I just
I'd go with the two running backs. Yeah, no, I totally agree
with you. I think that's thethat's the move. Yep. All right,
let's get to our starts and sitsfor the week. At quarterback,
(12:31):
who do you like? Said itmultiple times? This is Matt Stafford.
I mean, I think they weregoing to score fifty on the Commanders fifty
dude, mind the Commander secondary isso bad. This is gonna be I
have Puka. I hope it's aPuka game, but it may be a
Cooper Cup game. Maybe Tyler Higbee, I don't know. I think I'm
taking Mats Stafford. All right.My start this week is a guy who
(12:54):
has impressed me this year. He'slooked pretty good. You know, he
had a little bit of a toughgo on Monday Night, but then you
know, came in through at theend even though they didn't win. I
like Jordan Love this week. Ithink Jordan Love is a really good quarterback.
He seems like he's got comfortable andnot of what happened on Monday night.
He was playing so well and thenhe just yeah, you're taking on
Tampa Bay. So I think JordanLove has a good game. Who's your
(13:18):
sit? I said it earlier,Tua sitting him? He didn't do anything
once Tyreek Hill went out, hedidn't do anything, and Tennessee's defense is
nowhere's near as good as the Jetsdefense. Yeah, my sit is a
guy that screwed me in my finalgame, and so until you show me
he's back. Jared Goff, Idon't know what happened that Lion's offense was
so good and so powerful at thebeginning part of the season, and then
they've just sort of taken a nosedive and you take on Denver, who
(13:41):
again, they've turned their season around. Their defense is playing at a high
level. So I don't love JaredGoff this week. Running back, who's
your start? I usually don't gowith running with a player this high,
and this kills me to say this, but I gotta go with Alvin Kamara.
The Giants can't stop the run.The Giants cannot cover back, so
you traded away for Justin Jefferson.Yeah, but he's hurt again. I
know, I'm an idiot. Whatever. The Giants can't stop the run,
(14:05):
and the Giants can't cover the backsout of the backfield, So I don't
know who's gonna win the game.I think it's a toss up, but
I think Alvin Kamara will have abig game, all right, I hope
not. Yeah. Well, mystart this week is a guy that I
have had as a sit before,but I think that he's shown he's kind
of the guy there in Houston.I like Devin Singletary this week. I
thought with Pierce being back, hewas gonna lose a lot of touches,
(14:28):
but not really. They're still givingthe ball. They're giving the ball down
at the goal line, things likethat, taking on Tennessee, who was
probably a little too hyped over thatwin against Miami. I think Houston has
a rebound game. I like DevinSingletary this week. Who's your sit?
My sit is two guys, ZachWalker. Zach Walker, Kenneth Walker and
Zach Charbonney against the Eagles. Cardto run against the Eagles, and both
(14:48):
these guys have been kind disappointing thisyear. Well, it's not entirely true
because I have Kenneth Walker in allthree of my leagues. He was pretty
good in the first like I don'tknow, four or five weeks, and
he got banged up and he's notquite back at that. Seem like Schubernet
is kind of Sharbonnet with whatever thehell his name is? He had that
one? Of course, the onlygood game he's had is a game I
(15:09):
didn't start him. Oh so youtake it kind of personally. Well,
I also think the Eagles have agreat run defense. Okay, uh my
guy who Again, I'm not soldon him yet. You know, I
know that he's probably gonna be theguy with Madison being looks like he's questionable.
Ty Chandler, I don't know.I don't know what's up with this
Minnesota offense. I can't figure themout. Are they good? Are they
(15:31):
not good? Now they're going toNick Mullins, so you kind of have
to rely on a running back.But his Tyson Chandler, that's your guy.
So I don't know. I'm justnot sold on it yet. Listen,
and I don't know. It's oneof those kind of weeks where you
might have to start him. Iget it, but he's not my favorite
start this week. Wide receiver,who's your start wide receiver is a guy
who had a atrocious game this pastweek. He was on fire. I
(15:54):
think the offense goes as he goes, because I've been watching a lot of
their games. I'm talking about AmanRoss, Saint Brown, I know you
don't think Garrek Go's gonna have agood game, but if they have to
win this game and the offense goesas he goes. He had three bad
drops against the last week. Areyou saying this because you have Oh yeah,
that's it too. You want alittle karma going. I love karma
going, but for them to beall clicking on all so owners, they
(16:18):
have to get him involved. Well. Another one of the reasons why I'm
sitting here out of the playoffs isbecause of this guy's performance all year long.
He's been terrible. Honestly, it'snot necessarily his fault with all the
troubles they've had with firing their headcoach, with the roundabout with their quarterbacks,
and the Raiders are just not good. But I do think Davante Adams
(16:41):
finally has a big game. I'vebeen waiting all year and it doesn't matter
to me anymore because I'm out.But you're taking on the Chargers, Chargers
troches, and we can all agreeon that. It looks like they're making
a switch at quarterback. So Ido think that's gonna help a little bit.
And so I think DeVante Adams finallyshows up this week. Maybe I
don't even We'll see, Yeah,we'll see. Who's your sit? My
(17:02):
sit this week is a guy whowe could start using the bus term for.
I'm talking about Jerry Judy. He'sterrible. You could have said that
he's terrible against the Against the Chargers, Russell Wilson threw some great pass.
He drops the ball right in hishand. He can't get open. He
drops the ball. What a bust. This guy's turned out to be my
sit this week is I just don'tlike the matchup. I'll be honest with
(17:26):
you. I was kind of impressedwith your New York Giants secondary. They
play pretty well. Yeah, thatrookie Deontay Banks, he's pretty good.
It's pretty good. Pretty good.So Chris o'lavea, who you know,
he's just up and down. It'shard to trust him. And so if
you have a better option than alave I think you go with that.
They throw him the ball like fifteentimes a game, but they just never
connect and cars. He's terrible.Yeah, tight end, who's your start
(17:51):
wish for? Thinking here? Ready, there we go again, Travis,
Oh, I mean, give mea break. It's the best tight ends
football. It's his time. He'snot gonna put up ten points. They're
gonna say, you know what,Kelsey, go out there dominating team team
so stupid. My start this weekis a guy who just came back from
(18:12):
injury. I mentioned it earlier.I do think get Dallas Goddard gets it
together this week. I like theEagles this week taking on Seattle. There's
no way they're gonna lose three gamesin a while. I think that would
be crazy. And I think DallasGoddard, he looked pretty good in his
first game back. I think he'sgonna be better this week against Seattle.
Who's your shiit? People were soexcited about this guy a couple of weeks
(18:33):
ago, and he's been terrible andtheir quarterback is hurt, so it's gonna
be Trubisky. So I'm talking aboutPat Fryerman at the Colts. I think
that he's just I don't know ifhe's gonna get the ball. Trubisky stinks,
so I wouldn't. I'm staying awayfrom all Steelers this week, and
he's one of them. Yeah youknow, uh, this guy is coming
off maybe the best game of hiscareer. That's why it's like buyer beware
(18:56):
for me. You know, we'vetalked about this guy quite a bit this
year, David Enjoy from the Browns, and I just I don't know,
you know. I mean, itscares me because you score a couple of
touchdowns, you know, you getover one hundred, You're like, okay,
okay, maybe they found something andthen you won't catch anything. So
that's what really scares me off thisweek. I don't know what to expect
(19:17):
out of that Browns and they don't. I don't know. I don't And
so whenever I am like that,I just don't know what to expect.
That's the kind of guy I stayaway from. So I'm not a big
fan of that. This week.Well, there you go. That's it,
and then we're gonna be gone thenext couple of weeks. So whenever
we do return, we will updateyou on how Thor did in the playoffs,
(19:37):
because I'm out. So it iswhat it is, and we'll go
over all the year end awards allthat good stuff. So hey, good
luck, and hopefully you go outthere and get a championship.
Well, here we are. Wemade it. It is fantasy football playoff
time. Well that's great for someof you. It's time to review your
fantasy team. Here now, commissioners, time for fantasy freaking football. You
(00:23):
guys can tell me what it's likein the fantasy of football playoffs. This
year didn't make it. Wow,Hey, listen, this was not a
good year for me. It hasn'thappened to me in a long time.
I was thinking about it, andI've made at least in our work league
the playoffs for I want to say, the last ten years, I haven't
missed playoffs. Well, this yearwas a just a mitigated disaster. It
(00:46):
was unbelievable what happened. I mean, by last I want to say five
weeks or so, my team justgot destroyed with injuries. I could not
do anything. Any move I makewhat wasn't the right move. That's what
happened to me last year. Itwas bad. I finished in second to
last and every move I made waswrong. And then even on weeks there
was like five weeks in role wasprojected to win and I would score the
(01:07):
least points in the league week afterweek after week. I mean I looked
at the projections this last week,and you know, I knew I wasn't
gonna make the playoffs, but II'm not the kind of guy that's just
gonna give up and be like,I'm not gonna you know, I never
know. Well, there's playoff hopeson the line for some So I'm not
gonna be that guy. I wantto try and you know, mess somebody's
you know, thing up. Andso I put up a good lineup.
(01:27):
It was supposed to be a closegame. I think I lost by fifty
points. By fifty points. Andyou know, really, who's screwed me
all year? Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, Patrick Mahomes was garbage all year long.
Dravis Kelsey, I have him inthe I don't I hate myself for
drafting him because I could have draftedTyreek Hill. I'll never forget myself.
And he's I'm in the playoffs,but like he's supposed to be my guy.
(01:52):
Yeah, and he's just letting medown week after week after week.
And it's not that he's getting nopoints. He's getting like thirteen points,
fourteen points. But that's not whyyou d after him in the first round.
I drafted him for twenty five forPatrick Mahomes, you know nothing of
it, but again that's a that'swhy you draft him so high and he's
given you average points and it's stunning. Honestly, it was really stunning year
for him just to utter just adisappoint They're just not good this year.
(02:14):
Yeah, this is their first,this is his first not good year.
And I don't want to say he'shaving a bad year, but for him
a winning team, but I don'tlook the same. They're eight and five,
they don't look like say, theydon't look like the team that's gonna
win the Super Bowl. Yeah,it has been really bad for me.
So for the I think the firsttime ever we've had this work league that
I hurt league for gosh, almosttwenty years now, and you know,
(02:38):
I've been in it ever since thebeginning, and for the first time ever,
I finished in dead last. Wow. So we do with the thing
just like the NFL does for ournext year is based on the standing,
so it's the reverse order. SoI will have the number one pick next
year, which I've never had.I've never had the number one pick.
You start to oh, yeah,I'm in there, man. It looks
(02:59):
like McCaffrey problem I get, butyeah, no, it's gonna be very
different. And then in our otherleague that were in Door and I,
it basically came down to the lastweek, you know, there was I
didn't realize there was only six spotsavailable. I thought it was an eighteen
playoff team. So really, Imean it was only like one spot basically
(03:20):
between three of us, me,you and one other guy. And it
was looking pretty good for me.I was like, Okay, I'm looking
like I'm gonna make it looks likeit's gonna be okay. And then Raheem
Moster scored another touchdown which knocked meout of the playoffs because he beat the
other the guy that was he didn'tthink it was gonna win, and that
guy won, so he knocked meout. But I mean, if it
(03:42):
would have ended up him not scoringthat touchdown, I was in. And
now I missed the playoffs in thatone too. So I mean it's just
been a brutal year, absolutely brutalyear. And it was a terrible time
for Jared Goff to have a hisworst game in the year. Yeah,
so that that screwed me because Ihad to put off because I had Joe
Burrow in that other league and hegot hurt, and so yeah, it's
(04:03):
just been a mess. Honestly,it's been a mess in all of my
leagues. And I did the thingwhere I usually don't do, where I
drafted pretty much the same team overyou know, all team hurt, I
mean, and it's what happened.It really, it really was a disaster
for me. So not great,but congratulations you. I mean, you
started out as one of the worstteams I've ever seen. Oh and five
(04:25):
injury I started anything before the yearstarted. Travis Kelsey got hurt. Then
in the first game of the year, I lost Aaron Rodgers and JK.
Dobbins, and then I lost andthen I picked up the guys I picked
up they got hurt. Then itwas just one thing after another. After
Darren Waller wasn't tight end one andhe's still out with a hamstring injury.
Dude, I said, I tweetedit out today to a Giant guy.
(04:46):
I know, I'm like, justcut ties with the Giants, are gonna
cut ties with this guy. Hiscareer may be over him. He can't
stay healthy. He's got so muchtalent, but he's tied in one.
But he's Yeah, I started outoh and five with the least points in
the league. Then the best Imade all years, picking up Dak Prescott,
he's been on tear, and thenmy guys just showed up. I'm
on Ross Saint Brown, Davonte Smith, uh, Javonte Williams had some good
(05:09):
games in there, and I justgot lucky with that, and I start
not only was I winning, Iwas scoring the most points. I've kind
of cooled off a little bit,which is scary with the playoffs starting.
Some a little worried because I'm onRoss Saint Brown hasn't been good, Dak
had a down game, Travis Kelseyhasn't been that great, so I'm a
little nervous. But but I'm butthe fact, yeah, but the fact
that I went from owen to fiveto making the playoffs, I mean,
(05:30):
that's just awesome. I thought Iwas gonna bean last. And then in
our work league, you're in thatone as well. And my team's on
fire right now, knock on wood. So we'll see. Because in my
in our work league, I've madeit to the playoffs almost every year except
for last year, I think,and a couple of times I made it
to the finals, and I justI always get unlucky in this league,
and so I'm very even though I'mprojected to win. I have Josh Allen,
(05:51):
Christian McCaffrey, You've won. I'venever won that league. I just
I'm still very nervous. I'm verynervous. I got Pookah, I got
she Rice. My team is loaded, but I'm very nervous. We'll see
what happens. You know, hopefullysomebody on this show can get away.
I know I'm done, So itis what it is. We do have
a bunch of questions this week aswe well, we're heading in the playoffs,
(06:14):
so you know, people get nervouslike you get nervous, and they're
not the second guests themselves. Soyou can hit us up on Twitter or
x at the show, thor atthe show Eddie. You can email us
your questions. We'll try to getto them. Your first question is it
says I need a win and I'min for their fantasy playoffs, so this
is it sounds like they're not quiteat their fantasy playoffs yet. Have a
tough start. Sit decision between MatthewStafford and Tua against the Jets. Oh
(06:41):
really, who do you like,Oh, Matthew Stafford all day. The
Commanders have by far the worst secondaryin the NFL. Matt Stafford's going to
light them up with Cupp and Pooka. Kyron Waims will also have a big
game. And then I am nottouching Tua with the Jets, And that's
gonna hint you towards our starts andsits. The Jets defense. I can't
stand the Jets cockiness. I can'tstand there. How great they think they
(07:02):
are, but their defense is reallygood. Don't let how bad their offense
is fool you. Tua may nothave Tyreek Hill in this game. If
it is Tyreek Hill, he's goingto be injured. I would not start
two of this week. Well,you could see the difference in their offense.
It was completely different in the gamethis past week. And so yeah,
if he doesn't play, it's acoming love, and it's against a
(07:24):
team that kind of shut him downlast time. They played. That pick
six for ninety three yards completely changedthe game, but that was only ten
to three at halftime. They weren'tlighting the Jets up either. Yeah,
Stafford isn't my favorite choice, buthe has looked pretty good you know as
of late and TWOA is a toughchoice this week, So yeah, I
would I think you'd be okay withStafford. Next question says heading into the
(07:46):
playoffs here, congratulations Between se Quon, Tony Pollard, Jamiir Gibbs, Demon
eight Chan, who which three wouldyou pick for Week fifteen? Loaded running
backs crew? There? That's toughbecause they all have tough matchups. Oh,
man, I honestly don't know.I'd definitely go with Jamiir Gibbs because
(08:07):
they when it's the Lions need torealize they need to win some games.
Here. They got a tough matchupthough against who are they playing the Lions?
They're playing the Broncos. Bronco's gota good run defense. I'd still
go with Jamiir Gibbs. And thenI would also go with a Chon because
a Chan. And then it's betweenSaquon and Pollard. Man, it's a
toss up because I think Saquan isthe better back, but that they're run
(08:28):
blocking is terrible. I don't knowwhat do you think? Any Yeah,
I mean I'm taking Saquon, butI'm going probably Saquon Pollard and a Chan
for me, that's fine, too. Yeah. I mean, honestly,
you are loaded. You can't reallygo wrong with any of these. There's
a reason why you're in the playoffs. You have great backs. I would
probably trade in one of those,although Han did miss a lot of times,
(08:50):
so you know, I get that, But he seems like he's,
you know, a fantastic start.Does worry me though, now that I
think about it, that most startgot the touchdowns that does, so then
maybe you know most but you neverknow. Yeah, it is tough,
so maybe that's why you go Gibbs. Yeah, I think it's honest.
I'm starting with my guys. I'msticking with Saquan and Pollard, and then
(09:11):
that that third spot is tricky,you know so, But I mean,
I think you're fine with with eitherone. Honestly. This one says happy
Fantasy playoffs to you guys, notfor me. It says I'm putting Trey
McBride in at tight end. Uhand but he has a PPR flex spot.
So it's between Dallas Goddard, ZachMoss, Keaton Mitchell who's that I
(09:33):
don't even know who Keaton Mitchell is, and Curtis Samuel. Who do you
like? That's tough. I don'tlike Goddard is coming back from the injury.
They're playing a vulnerable Seahawks team,but it's in Seattle. And then
Zach Moss has been a massive disappointmentthe last couple of weeks since Todd Jonathan
Taylor went down, and but they'replaying a Steelers team that is reeling.
(09:56):
So I'd probably go with Zach justbecause you know he's the starter. You
know he's gonna get the ball twentytimes. So that's why I go with
Zach Boss. Keaton Mitchell apparently ison Baltimore as a running back. I
don't trust Baltimore's got a great runninggame, but you never know who's the
guy. Is it Gus Edwards?Is it Mitchell? Is it Lar?
Is it? No chance? I'mnot looking at anybody like that. I
(10:20):
do like Dallas Godder to have youknow, he's finally back. I like
him this week a lot. ButI mean, if I got Zach Moss,
I'm rolling the dice. I'm stickingwith Zach Moss, you know,
I mean, he's put up somegreat points this year when Jonathan Taylor wasn't
in there. I know, youknow, he's been disappointed the last couple
weeks. But to me, that'syour guy. That's the guy. Unless
Jonathan Taylor plays. It doesn't looklike he's gonna play, which sucks because
(10:43):
I have him in fantasy. Butyeah, then i'd start. And also
to t J, Watt may notplay his concussion protocol, So then you
know, I got a quarterback question, says I lost Herbert. Well,
that states ten and four in theplayoffs. Now, who do you guys
think would be a good streamer thisweek? I currently do have Kyler Murray
as my backup, but he's goingagainst the tough forty nine ers. Is
(11:03):
there anybody out there that you wouldpick up? See Kyler Murray. I
think you're gonna win this game.It's a little bit of a trap game,
but it's in division, so theyshould play tough. But he usually
plays well against the Niners, andhe played really well against the Steelers.
I think you may be able toget a couple rushing touchdown, maybe one
or two. Maybe a rushing touchdownfrom him maybe, So I don't know
about two wild I unless there's somebodyon the waiver wire that really blows you
(11:28):
away, like Matt Stafford, who'splaying the Commanders, I'd stick with Kyler
Murray. Yeah, I mean,you can't go wrong. I don't think
Kyler Murray is a terrible start.I mean, honestly, you know,
you know, I know it's atough matchup. And who's gonna be on
the waiver wires. Yeah, Imean that's the hard part. So yeah,
I think if Kyler Murray was onthe waiver, I'd tell you to
pick him up, so might aswell go with him. Final question here,
(11:50):
says managed to get into the playoffswith a six and eight record.
Though I do am third the highestscorer in the league. My question is
it's in a PPR. I needto between Austin Eckler, Moss, and
Garrett Wilson. Who do you likeprocess. I also have Taylor, but
it just depends if you get Iprobably go Moss and Eckler. I just
(12:11):
Garrett Wilson finally had a big game. It was his biggest game of the
year, like twenty two points.But I just I'm sorry, I don't
trust the Jets offense and Zach Wilsonto get him the ball. I just
I'd go with the two running backs. Yeah, no, I totally agree
with you. I think that's thethat's the move. Yep. All right,
let's get to our starts and sitsfor the week. At quarterback,
(12:31):
who do you like? Said itmultiple times? This is Matt Stafford.
I mean, I think they weregoing to score fifty on the Commanders fifty
dude, mind the Commander secondary isso bad. This is gonna be I
have Puka. I hope it's aPuka game, but it may be a
Cooper Cup game. Maybe Tyler Higbee, I don't know. I think I'm
taking Mats Stafford. All right.My start this week is a guy who
(12:54):
has impressed me this year. He'slooked pretty good. You know, he
had a little bit of a toughgo on Monday Night, but then you
know, came in through at theend even though they didn't win. I
like Jordan Love this week. Ithink Jordan Love is a really good quarterback.
He seems like he's got comfortable andnot of what happened on Monday night.
He was playing so well and thenhe just yeah, you're taking on
Tampa Bay. So I think JordanLove has a good game. Who's your
(13:18):
sit? I said it earlier,Tua sitting him? He didn't do anything
once Tyreek Hill went out, hedidn't do anything, and Tennessee's defense is
nowhere's near as good as the Jetsdefense. Yeah, my sit is a
guy that screwed me in my finalgame, and so until you show me
he's back. Jared Goff, Idon't know what happened that Lion's offense was
so good and so powerful at thebeginning part of the season, and then
they've just sort of taken a nosedive and you take on Denver, who
(13:41):
again, they've turned their season around. Their defense is playing at a high
level. So I don't love JaredGoff this week. Running back, who's
your start? I usually don't gowith running with a player this high,
and this kills me to say this, but I gotta go with Alvin Kamara.
The Giants can't stop the run.The Giants cannot cover back, so
you traded away for Justin Jefferson.Yeah, but he's hurt again. I
know, I'm an idiot. Whatever. The Giants can't stop the run,
(14:05):
and the Giants can't cover the backsout of the backfield, So I don't
know who's gonna win the game.I think it's a toss up, but
I think Alvin Kamara will have abig game, all right, I hope
not. Yeah. Well, mystart this week is a guy that I
have had as a sit before,but I think that he's shown he's kind
of the guy there in Houston.I like Devin Singletary this week. I
thought with Pierce being back, hewas gonna lose a lot of touches,
(14:28):
but not really. They're still givingthe ball. They're giving the ball down
at the goal line, things likethat, taking on Tennessee, who was
probably a little too hyped over thatwin against Miami. I think Houston has
a rebound game. I like DevinSingletary this week. Who's your sit?
My sit is two guys, ZachWalker. Zach Walker, Kenneth Walker and
Zach Charbonney against the Eagles. Cardto run against the Eagles, and both
(14:48):
these guys have been kind disappointing thisyear. Well, it's not entirely true
because I have Kenneth Walker in allthree of my leagues. He was pretty
good in the first like I don'tknow, four or five weeks, and
he got banged up and he's notquite back at that. Seem like Schubernet
is kind of Sharbonnet with whatever thehell his name is? He had that
one? Of course, the onlygood game he's had is a game I
(15:09):
didn't start him. Oh so youtake it kind of personally. Well,
I also think the Eagles have agreat run defense. Okay, uh my
guy who Again, I'm not soldon him yet. You know, I
know that he's probably gonna be theguy with Madison being looks like he's questionable.
Ty Chandler, I don't know.I don't know what's up with this
Minnesota offense. I can't figure themout. Are they good? Are they
(15:31):
not good? Now they're going toNick Mullins, so you kind of have
to rely on a running back.But his Tyson Chandler, that's your guy.
So I don't know. I'm justnot sold on it yet. Listen,
and I don't know. It's oneof those kind of weeks where you
might have to start him. Iget it, but he's not my favorite
start this week. Wide receiver,who's your start wide receiver is a guy
who had a atrocious game this pastweek. He was on fire. I
(15:54):
think the offense goes as he goes, because I've been watching a lot of
their games. I'm talking about AmanRoss, Saint Brown, I know you
don't think Garrek Go's gonna have agood game, but if they have to
win this game and the offense goesas he goes. He had three bad
drops against the last week. Areyou saying this because you have Oh yeah,
that's it too. You want alittle karma going. I love karma
going, but for them to beall clicking on all so owners, they
(16:18):
have to get him involved. Well. Another one of the reasons why I'm
sitting here out of the playoffs isbecause of this guy's performance all year long.
He's been terrible. Honestly, it'snot necessarily his fault with all the
troubles they've had with firing their headcoach, with the roundabout with their quarterbacks,
and the Raiders are just not good. But I do think Davante Adams
(16:41):
finally has a big game. I'vebeen waiting all year and it doesn't matter
to me anymore because I'm out.But you're taking on the Chargers, Chargers
troches, and we can all agreeon that. It looks like they're making
a switch at quarterback. So Ido think that's gonna help a little bit.
And so I think DeVante Adams finallyshows up this week. Maybe I
don't even We'll see, Yeah,we'll see. Who's your sit? My
(17:02):
sit this week is a guy whowe could start using the bus term for.
I'm talking about Jerry Judy. He'sterrible. You could have said that
he's terrible against the Against the Chargers, Russell Wilson threw some great pass.
He drops the ball right in hishand. He can't get open. He
drops the ball. What a bust. This guy's turned out to be my
sit this week is I just don'tlike the matchup. I'll be honest with
(17:26):
you. I was kind of impressedwith your New York Giants secondary. They
play pretty well. Yeah, thatrookie Deontay Banks, he's pretty good.
It's pretty good. Pretty good.So Chris o'lavea, who you know,
he's just up and down. It'shard to trust him. And so if
you have a better option than alave I think you go with that.
They throw him the ball like fifteentimes a game, but they just never
connect and cars. He's terrible.Yeah, tight end, who's your start
(17:51):
wish for? Thinking here? Ready, there we go again, Travis,
Oh, I mean, give mea break. It's the best tight ends
football. It's his time. He'snot gonna put up ten points. They're
gonna say, you know what,Kelsey, go out there dominating team team
so stupid. My start this weekis a guy who just came back from
(18:12):
injury. I mentioned it earlier.I do think get Dallas Goddard gets it
together this week. I like theEagles this week taking on Seattle. There's
no way they're gonna lose three gamesin a while. I think that would
be crazy. And I think DallasGoddard, he looked pretty good in his
first game back. I think he'sgonna be better this week against Seattle.
Who's your shiit? People were soexcited about this guy a couple of weeks
(18:33):
ago, and he's been terrible andtheir quarterback is hurt, so it's gonna
be Trubisky. So I'm talking aboutPat Fryerman at the Colts. I think
that he's just I don't know ifhe's gonna get the ball. Trubisky stinks,
so I wouldn't. I'm staying awayfrom all Steelers this week, and
he's one of them. Yeah youknow, uh, this guy is coming
off maybe the best game of hiscareer. That's why it's like buyer beware
(18:56):
for me. You know, we'vetalked about this guy quite a bit this
year, David Enjoy from the Browns, and I just I don't know,
you know. I mean, itscares me because you score a couple of
touchdowns, you know, you getover one hundred, You're like, okay,
okay, maybe they found something andthen you won't catch anything. So
that's what really scares me off thisweek. I don't know what to expect
(19:17):
out of that Browns and they don't. I don't know. I don't And
so whenever I am like that,I just don't know what to expect.
That's the kind of guy I stayaway from. So I'm not a big
fan of that. This week.Well, there you go. That's it,
and then we're gonna be gone thenext couple of weeks. So whenever
we do return, we will updateyou on how Thor did in the playoffs,
(19:37):
because I'm out. So it iswhat it is, and we'll go
over all the year end awards allthat good stuff. So hey, good
luck, and hopefully you go outthere and get a championship.
