Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, it's playoff time.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
How did the first round of the Fantasy playoffs go
for you? Well, if you remember last week, we told
you me and Thor were matched up against each other
who came out to Victor. Well, we're about to tell
you in this week's edition of Fantasy Freaking Football, it's
time to.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Review your fantasy team. Here down, your.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Commissioners, it's time for Fantasy freaking football. Oh yes, big matchup.
This past week.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Things did not get off to a good start for me,
not all. So I had a couple of guys going
on Thursday night. Now, if you remember, that was the
Rams taking on the forty nine ers in a rain
soap game in San Francisco. And I have both Cooper
Cup and Juwan Jennings, and I was feeling fairly confident
(00:58):
about having those guys go. I had not played Juwan
in a little while and he's been going off, and
so you know, I was like, oh, you know what,
I think I'm gonna put him back in there. I
feel pretty good about it. Whatever, So that game happens,
Juwan Jennings, he had a whatever game. He got me
three points, and so I was like, oh, that's remember standard.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
This one is unless a wide receiver catches a touchdown pass,
it's really hard to have a lot of points for
wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Sure, yeah, we're not having these crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Eighteen nineteen points for you know, for eight catches.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Right right, And so then you know, Old Reliable is
still going. You know, you got Cooper Cup he's good
for you know again, he's good for eight catches. You know,
he doesn't get a ton of yards, but he you know,
he'll sneak into the end zone. You know, he's been
having a pretty solid season. He's my old Reliable, That's
what I call him. He got me a big fat zero,
(01:53):
Like I don't even know if he was targeted in
the game. I don't know what was going on. Yeah,
but he got me zero points. So after two guys,
one game, I have three points and I'm like, well
that's it. I'm done. I have no chance. You know,
Thor is gonna crush me. I cannot believe out of
all weeks this happened. I was totally defeated.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
But that's what sucks about Thursday and now this week
Saturday games because you could you could have scored let's
say you scored a combined fifty and you're you're on
top of the world, and then the rest and then
Sunday comes around and you lose.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It could happen, that could happen.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
But then also too, when that happens on Thursday, you
feel like this sucks. That's I hate having guys play
games Thursday and next Saturday this week.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I get it. Yeah, it was. It was a tough
start for me. But then Sunday rolls around. Yeah, and
I'm sitting there watching the games, and my guys are
are showing up. They're doing okay in the early games. Uh,
then we get to the afternoon games. I was was
Baltimore earlier late, I don't remember early because so my
biggest concern was Dereck Henry for you, and I was like,
(02:56):
oh man, this is gonna be tough. You know, Derek
Henry is probably gonna have three hundred yards against your giants,
you know, who are terrible. I was thinking all these things,
and then as I'm watching the game play out, Derek
Henry's not that involved.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
What happened is exactly what I saw coming. I'm not
kidding you. At around nine to fifty five five minutes
per kickoff, I said to myself, I think I'm gonna
start Justice Hill because I just haven't. That would be
insane because I just have a feeling the Giants are
gonna get blown out. Henry's not gonna do anything, and
Justice Hill's could be the one that scores a touchdown
late because because I'm saying to myself, I just I'm
(03:30):
just nervous that they're gonna score like fifty points and Henry's.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Not gonna be any But you also way over, which
I did also in our league. Yeah, but yeah, so
Henry basically doesn't do much. He would he get you
six points?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I think he had sixty yards rushing and no touchdowns.
Lamar had five touchdown passes, so that I'd mean, you
gotta be kid. That helped me a lot, and I
got Henry in two leagues. Yeah, he's really fallen off.
I mean he was averaging twenty plus points. He hasn't
had twenty points since week nine.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, so he's killing me, right, Yeah, I get it,
But I mean, you listen, you're still you gotta start
league and he's the guy.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So yeah, because he could still go off.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It's been a minute.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, and so yeah, I was looking at your lineup,
and I'm kind of scratching my head over some of
your decisions, but I'm like, listen, Thor is always the
guy who is on the waiver wire, Yeah, trying to
see like, Okay, this guy's hurt, this guy's gonna play,
or this guy's got a bad match, and this guy
to do this, and you, like are always moving and
even to the last minute, I'm always like, what is
(04:30):
he doing? And you make some kind of questionable decisions.
Sometimes it works out for you, obviously, but sometimes I'm like, man,
I don't know if I would have done that.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
One of the biggest things you did was at your
quarterback spot.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I saw that Baker Mayfield's playing the Chargers, and the
Chargers have a really good defense. So I also saw
that bow Knicks was playing.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Baker's been your guy all year he.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
And I also Bonicks was playing the Colts. Colts defense
is not bad, but they were in Denver. Excuse me,
I thought Baker, I mean I thought b Nicks would
get a couple more points. Baker goes off for twenty
eight points. Monsters game bone up thirteen.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Well, and you're lucky to get those thirteen because bone
Nick's at one point for like three point the mid.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Thirty, and I was like, oh man, this is great.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And then I'm fanning to myself. Adam Feelin. I told you,
I tried to take that back games had two hundred
yards receiving and back to back his combined and like
Neighbors has been awful because his quarterback situation sucks. So
I benched Neighbors and start feeling Neighbors has his best
game in a month, and Feeling has five.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I tried to talk you out of that one, which
I did. I don't know why I did, because I
was playing against you. Yeah, but I was like, dude,
Adam Thielen is not the guy.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
He listened.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
He may have had a couple of good games, but
he's been terrible all year. Don't do it, and you
did it and you know, came back and pack. So
it comes down to, uh, basically having well before that,
sorry Josh Allen, that this saved my butt. That having
Josh Allen last two games has been phenomenal. I mean,
(05:59):
he's putting up four points for me.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
The guy's unstoppable games has ninety three points.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He's absolutely saved and so he you know, because if
you put up a zero, you're in trouble. I don't
care who you're playing, what week it is, whatever. I
that zero was gonna cost me, But the fact that
Josh Allen went off, now I'm in it. And I
was I was just thinking, my lucky stars, I have
a chance. That's all I want is a chance. For
Monday night, we got a doubleheader and you had one
(06:28):
guy left, I had one guy left. You were up
by one.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Point, and I was up by one point because Denver's
defense had that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That terrible pick six. So it's idiot Coultual. I'll never forgive.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Who threw that stupid behind the back pass or whatever
the heck it was, and it got picked off for
pick six. You had defense who had nothing, and then
they scored that pick six.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So that it made you a little bit and put
me up one point. So to go into the game,
I have young Way Coup, you have Jordan Addison.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So it's one on one on Jordan Addison versus young
Way Coup, and so the whole the you know, the
Vikings play first and in the early part of the
game they're feeding it to Addison and I'm like, okay, catch, yeah,
you took the lead. Yeah, and I go listen, if
Addison can get in the end zone, this is over.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I've won. And they never really targeted him in the
end zone.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
It went to Jefferson and then they ran in a
couple and so Addison never got a real good look.
I think he had like I don't know, fifty yards
or yeah, he got so nothing great, nothing great, but
I mean solid. But I had the lead and then
the Falcons game starts, and the Falcons aren't really doing much.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
They're on fringe field goal the whole freaking game. Multiple
times they had a field goal, Kirk Cousins got sacked,
took about a field goal rage multiple times, and then
one other time they were going to kick a field goal.
They took a delayed game. It was crazy. They could
not get in field goal range.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He drew a pick at one point, there was a safety.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
There was all these wacky things and no field goals,
nothing done. I think you had one extra point, yeah,
and that was about it.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
At the end of the first half. I had one
point yeah, And I was like, oh my.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
God, praying man, please let this keep going, please let this.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
And the crazy thing was you were up eighty four
to eighty one at one point. But remember there's no
decimals with field goal kickers, it's just three. So I
needed two field goals just to come back, right, So
one field goal wouldn't have got the job done.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
So it kicks one field goal, but I still have
a percentage point lead. Yeah, like like I mean it
was like point two zero or something like that, and
so but it wins win. I don't care if it's
by you know, point one.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And so I'm just like, no more, no more kicks,
no more kicks. And then late in the fourth quarter,
what do the Falcons do?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Another field another field goal. But game's not over yet.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Games not over yet.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I have a one I have a one point four
lead right now.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, and the game is so basically, if they give
Addison a fifteen yarder, then you win, then I win
the game, or because I mean at least I had
the lead.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, so you have the lead. And then Yung Waiku
has another shot at a field goal, and this would
have put me up four and I think it would
have been over, but he missed, Yeah, so it'd be great.
So I'm just like, oh, my god.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But the Vikings have such a big lead over the
Bears there, they just want to run the clock out.
So they hit they hit Addison with one more pass.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And then that was it. It was over. So was
the final score.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
The final score was me eighty eight point seven, you
eighty six point three.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Point not less than two points two?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, which is crazy. And and what scared me a
little bit was after young wik who who now is
on ir By the way. So I got so lucky
after that. After the Bears scored and made it like
a fourteen point game, I got nervous that the Vikings
were gonna start slaying it.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Again, but they didn't know.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I was like, thank god.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You eliminated me from the playoffs. You're moving on to
the second round, so congratulations.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And I got a really tough matchup this week. I
don't know if I'm gonna but we'll see.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I mean, you're playing the one seed, right, I'm playing
the two seeds.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
But he's got Gibbs, Barkley, Bowers and Chase Brown.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Wow, that is tough.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Now I have Derreck, Henry Kenneth Walker, Bucky Irvin.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So it's not like I'm more impressed with his no,
I by a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Sorry, I'm protected for ninety.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Well here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It all depends on the health of Kenneth Walker, the
health of Bucky Irving. You know those guys have been questionable,
especially Walker. I mean, if he's fully back, then you
got a chance. I know you have sharbon Ay too.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Will Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Touchdowns. But we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Hopefully, hopefully you continue to win, you know, defend your
title now in our other league that we are in.
I've finished the last I told you it didn't really
matter what I did. You made the playoffs. Ye, So
how'd you do in that league?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I ended up winning one six.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
But again, listen, we need to work on your outlook
on life because you've been You were texting me all weekend.
How many times you said the frame just shoot me
or I have no chance.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
So it was one of the more frustrating weekends I've
ever had watching fans. I mean, you wanted both Kyler
Murray they had thirty points, the Cardinals, he had ten.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
They had.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
He had zero touchdown passes. How is that possible in
a thirty point game, Derrick Henry they scored thirty five
he had six points. Jonathan Taylor dropped the freaking ball
on the one yard line like it was like I
couldn't believe it, but you still want Yeah he had,
he had DeAndre Swift and Hawkinson and I was up
twenty one and I had a kicker left, and you
thought you were gonna lose. I thought I was gonna
(11:34):
lose too, but I ended up getting fifteen from my kicker.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, I mean it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You could have got zero and you would still you're
so you have the darkest outlook on everything, and I'm like, dude,
you're gonna win in both leagues.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I'm I'm trying to stay positive this weekend because these.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
These are tough. Yeah. Now I wouldn't now you should
be like this, I have no chance.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I don't know if I have no chance. We'll see though.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, yes, so you're still alive and both leagues. Congratulations,
that's fantasm. That's all you want in fantasy. I just
want to keep playing. When it ends, it sucks, you know,
tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, and when it ends, it sucks. And also my
giants suck, so like it's just stinks. The only thing
I'm rooting for is that they keep losing.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Mean, so it's just I don't want it to end.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I can say I am still alive and well in
my OG league, so thankfully I can still I'm still
playing there. I'm still doing great in that league. I
got a sneaky win last week, so I'm still alive
in my third league. Thankfully. You know, I have something
to play for, but not much. All right, let's get
to your fantasy playoff questions this week. You can hit
us up, but you can email us. He can hit
(12:37):
us up on X at the Show, Eddie at the Show,
or any kind of question you have. This question says
made it through the first round of the playoffs, got
a tough game this week?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Did you write this?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Can't decide between Cooper Cup, who let me down last week,
or Drake London with a new quarterback this week.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Who do you like?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I I probably lean towards Cooper Cup because the Jets
defense stinks, even though they have a bunch of guys
uh and they're not gonna go You're not gonna like
they know Cooper Cupp didn't get any catches, so they're
gonna get it now. Don't get me wrong. Though the
Giants are terrible. I have no idea how Michael Pennox
is gonna do, that's the question. But he can't be
worse than Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I feel like it's a bloom or bust situation. Yeah,
if you want to roll the dice with the Panix
and London, you can Cooper Cup. What did I say,
he's all reliable. Yeah, even though he's totally screwed me
last week. I mean, you realize if he has took
a couple of catches I beat you. Never mind, I
won't be thinking about that all week anyway. So yes,
if you know, I feel like I agree with you.
(13:36):
Like they're gonna feed him early and feed him all.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah. And and with the thing that Drake Londen may
have a big game or it may be, Hey, we're
gonna keep it real simple. We're gonna do a lot
of easy passes hand. The Giants are terrible. I have
people Giant fans tell me they're afraid they're gonna win.
Like what we what are you watching? Sorry? Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Next question says not sure what to do with Patrick
Mahomes this week with his injury. I have Russell Wilson
as my backup. Who did you start?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I'm not a Mahomes he already practiced in full. I
don't know if I.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Don't even think he has a designation. Of course, it's
crazy he's fakes injuries. I don't so I think it's
just incredible. I still wouldn't start him, though. I just
don't trust his offense, and I think the Ravens secondary
is pretty terrible.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I mean, they're still pretty good defense. I know that
they've had some missteps and things like that. I don't
like either guy, to be honest with you, this week
they're both tough matchups. You know, if if Mahomes plays,
and I'm sure he will because like I said, he
doesn't even have a designation because again he did he
did his yearly limp. The guy's incredible. Please give him
(14:42):
his props. I guess I'll go with Mahomes slightly. This
next question says lost David Montgomery last week brutal. I'm
not sure who I should start, between Rico Dowdle or
Isaiah Pacheco, who hasn't really done much.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I'd probably go with dow Will just because you're gonna
get more carries and there playing the Bucks Bucks defense
could be it's pretty tough. But I'd still go with
dow Wittle because you're gonna get more carries.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, he's been more on it than Pacheco has so far.
I agree with you. I think that that's probably the start.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Tough Pacheco has come back from.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
What do you have?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
A break up? So hard man, and they're gonna split carries?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I just yeah, final question, need a defense to flex.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
This is tough.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
He says, there are no great options. Any advice on
who I should pick up this week?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I picked I'm in the same situation really and the
two and the a hole I'm playing picked up defenses
last week to screw me. So I picked up the
Bengals defense just because because they're playing against the Browns
and not Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson Robinson, he stinks. I'm sorry. Also,
I would look at picking up the Jaguars defense. If
(15:49):
Aiden O'Connell plays, it doesn't play. If ad O'Connell plays,
I wouldn't touch the Jaguars defense. But if it's Desmond Ritter,
I'd pick up the Jaguars defense.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Well, it's tricky because I don't know who's available in
your league and things like that. You know, it's weird,
like if randomly say the Titans are available. I mean,
you look at Anthony Richardson. He is just atrocious, and
so you're gonna get some turnovers and things like that.
So I think that's a decent option. I don't know,
it's a tricky question because I don't know who's available.
(16:18):
So you know, good luck with that. I don't I
really don't know what to tell you all that one.
All right, let's get to our starts and sits for
the week. At quarterback, who is your start?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'm playing against him and I'm starting him in another league.
Baker may Field that Cowboys Trayvon Diggs is out. Cowboys
are terrible at home going with Baker.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Interesting my start. You might be hearing me say this
and go Eddie, come on, man, what are you talking about?
I have eyes, but I like the matchup this week.
Don't shoot me. I'm gonna say, Caleb Williams, Wow, I
get it. The Bears have looked really, really bad on offense.
Caleb does not look like the number one overall pick.
I understand all of that. I agree with all that.
(16:56):
But look at this Lions defense. They are decimated. I
mean they have nobody left. No, they have like fifteen
guys on injured reserve. So I gotta imagine if there
is a game for Caleb, I still think the Lions
are gonna win. I don't think the Bears are gonna
do well. All of that being said, I think Caleb
at some point is gonna figure something out here and
(17:17):
hit the hit his guys that are wide open. He
just doesn't get rid of the ball quick enough. And
if you go back and watch the film, you can
just go, Okay, well, dude, you got to get rid
of the ball.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Throw it.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I mean, Roman Doonsday's wide open, Keenan Allen's wide open. DJ,
They're all open, And so you just got to get
rid of the ball quicker. And so if there's a
week he's gonna do it, I think this might be
the week. Who's your sit?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
We talked about him a couple minutes ago. I'm sitting
Patrick Mahomes. Oh, I got the Texas. Texans have a
good defense. I don't think Mahomes. Mahomes is the best
quarterback in the.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
League of all time.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I don't know about of all time pretty close, But
I'm not starting this week of fantasy.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
My sit this week is a guy he sort of out,
sort of an up and down year, but the matchup
this week is very tough for him. C J. Stroud
is my sit taking on the Chiefs. Chiefs are unbelievable
on defense, and so I just I don't know CJ.
I just don't think he's gonna have a big week.
This might be a Joe Mixon game. We'll have to
wait and see. Running back. Who's your start?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Um? Luckily I'm not playing against him. James Connor at
the Panthers. He's it's crazy man. He left the Steelers
and he's been great for the Cardinals. Two touchdowns last week,
ten yards. Yeah, it's start James Connor.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
My start this week is a guy that you are
probably hoping he has a good game. You're probably still
angry with him for dropping that football as he crossed
the goal line. Jonathan Taylor is gonna make good for this.
I know he feels bad what he did to you,
and so Jonathan Taylor is gonna have a big game
against Tennessee. I like Jonathan Taylor. Who's your sit?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Nause Harris Ravens are not great against the pass, really
good against the run. Has had one hundred yards rushing
since October, has two touchdowns since then. I wouldn't start
Nashi Harris all right.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Same thing with me, with a guy who's again up
and down season. He was a high draft pick, hasn't
done much all year. He's had some decent games. But
I don't like Breese Hall this week taking on a
very stout Rams defense. I think the Rams are gonna
run over the Jets this week, and I don't think
Breese Hall is gonna have a great game wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Who's your start?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
You're with Juwan Jennings. This is the Dolphins. The Dolphins
wide receivers have given up in two games one hundred
yards to DeVante Adams, a hundred yards of Garrett Wilson,
and they didn't give a lot of yards to Nico Collins,
but they get up two touchdowns to him. So I'm
starting Juwan Jennings if I had.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Him, interesting, I'm gonna go with a guy that you have.
There's a lot of guys that you have that I'm
picking heavy here. I like t Higgins this week taking
on Cleveland. You know, Cleveland is Cleveland, but T since
he's been back, he hasn't done very much. I mean,
it's been the Jamar Chase Show. So at some point
I gotta imagine T is.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Gonna you know, I need that tea.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't okay, I'm not really sure what that means,
but whatever, but I like to jiggas this week.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Who's your sick?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I hate to do this. I gotta said Calvin Ridley.
Oh he's been Calvin Ridley saved you a couple of times,
save me coup of times.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's hurt me because he didn't sit. He didn't start him.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Mason Rudolph's coming back. Oh that's not good. The cold
d isn't terrible. So sitting sitting Ridley.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Okay, sittingn Ridley? All right, my sit this week again.
You know, we're having some issues with that Houston Kansas
City game. I don't like d hop this week. DeAndre
Hopkins against Houston, his former team. Usually I like revenge games,
but with Patrick Maholmes, he's not gonna be able to
move around like he normally does. I think this might
be a good Kelsey game because it's gonna be those
(20:33):
quick passes, quick dump off passes. I don't think d
hop Is is going to be be able to get
open very much. I just don't like that that matchup
tight end, who's your start?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
You're gonna be him crazy here. Most tight ends stink.
Other than like three, I have no tight ends that
could play. So I am going with Brenton Strange.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh you're not gonna like my sit.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
And here's why he had twelve targets last week eleven catches.
The are terrible against tight ends, knocking Brenton starting in
both leagues.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Oh dude, you're going all in on Brenton Strange. That's right.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
This is one of those things where I'm gonna look
at you right now and say, are you sure this
is not a great move by you? I don't think
it is. He's my sit. I'm not even gonna get
to my start.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Who cares.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
It's Trey McBride, who because he hasn't scored a touchdown
all year, He's gonna score a touchdown, let me finish.
He's gonna score his touchdown this week. That's my start.
Strange is my sit because I have seen in some
uh you know, projections in leagues that he's like one
of the big pickups this week, and all that stuff
is Evan Ingram not playing is out, He's done. Okay,
that being said, stop it. He's a Jaguar. You know
(21:38):
that's not gonna happen. Dude, I'm really nervous for you
to doing this. Going all in on somebody named Brenton
Strange I've never heard of before this week is a
very strange move.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Who are your other options?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Well, in one league it's between him and Friar move, okay,
so I might start fighting with And the other league
it's been him and Hunter Henry.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I know what happened to your tight ends.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Goddard hurt and he's done. And the other league I've
Dalton kin Kate. He sucks Kate.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Daves back a little bit. Last week he had a
thesent game.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I'm concerned about. I would go kin Kid a million
times before. I'd go with some guy named Brenton Strange
who I don't even know it. Listen, I hope it
goes off. I hope he goes off.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I'm rooting for you. I'm rooting for your palace get
a little bit. I mean not entirely, but I haven't
been in.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
My mind yet i've been. I'm sure I'll switching up all.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
On Breton Strange.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, we'll see that this is gonna do it for
the rest of the year for us. We're going on
vacation next couple of weeks, but we will come back,
tell you how our fantasy seasons wrapped up, give out
our year end awards and all that good stuff. Hopefully
you go out there and win a championship.
Well, it's playoff time.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
How did the first round of the Fantasy playoffs go
for you? Well, if you remember last week, we told
you me and Thor were matched up against each other
who came out to Victor. Well, we're about to tell
you in this week's edition of Fantasy Freaking Football, it's
time to.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Review your fantasy team. Here down, your.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Commissioners, it's time for Fantasy freaking football. Oh yes, big matchup.
This past week.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Things did not get off to a good start for me,
not all. So I had a couple of guys going
on Thursday night. Now, if you remember, that was the
Rams taking on the forty nine ers in a rain
soap game in San Francisco. And I have both Cooper
Cup and Juwan Jennings, and I was feeling fairly confident
(00:58):
about having those guys go. I had not played Juwan
in a little while and he's been going off, and
so you know, I was like, oh, you know what,
I think I'm gonna put him back in there. I
feel pretty good about it. Whatever, So that game happens,
Juwan Jennings, he had a whatever game. He got me
three points, and so I was like, oh, that's remember standard.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
This one is unless a wide receiver catches a touchdown pass,
it's really hard to have a lot of points for
wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Sure, yeah, we're not having these crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Eighteen nineteen points for you know, for eight catches.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Right right, And so then you know, Old Reliable is
still going. You know, you got Cooper Cup he's good
for you know again, he's good for eight catches. You know,
he doesn't get a ton of yards, but he you know,
he'll sneak into the end zone. You know, he's been
having a pretty solid season. He's my old Reliable, That's
what I call him. He got me a big fat zero,
(01:53):
Like I don't even know if he was targeted in
the game. I don't know what was going on. Yeah,
but he got me zero points. So after two guys,
one game, I have three points and I'm like, well
that's it. I'm done. I have no chance. You know,
Thor is gonna crush me. I cannot believe out of
all weeks this happened. I was totally defeated.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
But that's what sucks about Thursday and now this week
Saturday games because you could you could have scored let's
say you scored a combined fifty and you're you're on
top of the world, and then the rest and then
Sunday comes around and you lose.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
It could happen, that could happen.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
But then also too, when that happens on Thursday, you
feel like this sucks. That's I hate having guys play
games Thursday and next Saturday this week.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I get it. Yeah, it was. It was a tough
start for me. But then Sunday rolls around. Yeah, and
I'm sitting there watching the games, and my guys are
are showing up. They're doing okay in the early games. Uh,
then we get to the afternoon games. I was was
Baltimore earlier late, I don't remember early because so my
biggest concern was Dereck Henry for you, and I was like,
(02:56):
oh man, this is gonna be tough. You know, Derek
Henry is probably gonna have three hundred yards against your giants,
you know, who are terrible. I was thinking all these things,
and then as I'm watching the game play out, Derek
Henry's not that involved.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
What happened is exactly what I saw coming. I'm not
kidding you. At around nine to fifty five five minutes
per kickoff, I said to myself, I think I'm gonna
start Justice Hill because I just haven't. That would be
insane because I just have a feeling the Giants are
gonna get blown out. Henry's not gonna do anything, and
Justice Hill's could be the one that scores a touchdown
late because because I'm saying to myself, I just I'm
(03:30):
just nervous that they're gonna score like fifty points and Henry's.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Not gonna be any But you also way over, which
I did also in our league. Yeah, but yeah, so
Henry basically doesn't do much. He would he get you
six points?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I think he had sixty yards rushing and no touchdowns.
Lamar had five touchdown passes, so that I'd mean, you
gotta be kid. That helped me a lot, and I
got Henry in two leagues. Yeah, he's really fallen off.
I mean he was averaging twenty plus points. He hasn't
had twenty points since week nine.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, so he's killing me, right, Yeah, I get it,
But I mean, you listen, you're still you gotta start
league and he's the guy.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So yeah, because he could still go off.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It's been a minute.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, and so yeah, I was looking at your lineup,
and I'm kind of scratching my head over some of
your decisions, but I'm like, listen, Thor is always the
guy who is on the waiver wire, Yeah, trying to
see like, Okay, this guy's hurt, this guy's gonna play,
or this guy's got a bad match, and this guy
to do this, and you, like are always moving and
even to the last minute, I'm always like, what is
(04:30):
he doing? And you make some kind of questionable decisions.
Sometimes it works out for you, obviously, but sometimes I'm like, man,
I don't know if I would have done that.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
One of the biggest things you did was at your
quarterback spot.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I saw that Baker Mayfield's playing the Chargers, and the
Chargers have a really good defense. So I also saw
that bow Knicks was playing.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Baker's been your guy all year he.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
And I also Bonicks was playing the Colts. Colts defense
is not bad, but they were in Denver. Excuse me,
I thought Baker, I mean I thought b Nicks would
get a couple more points. Baker goes off for twenty
eight points. Monsters game bone up thirteen.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Well, and you're lucky to get those thirteen because bone
Nick's at one point for like three point the mid.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Thirty, and I was like, oh man, this is great.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And then I'm fanning to myself. Adam Feelin. I told you,
I tried to take that back games had two hundred
yards receiving and back to back his combined and like
Neighbors has been awful because his quarterback situation sucks. So
I benched Neighbors and start feeling Neighbors has his best
game in a month, and Feeling has five.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I tried to talk you out of that one, which
I did. I don't know why I did, because I
was playing against you. Yeah, but I was like, dude,
Adam Thielen is not the guy.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
He listened.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
He may have had a couple of good games, but
he's been terrible all year. Don't do it, and you
did it and you know, came back and pack. So
it comes down to, uh, basically having well before that,
sorry Josh Allen, that this saved my butt. That having
Josh Allen last two games has been phenomenal. I mean,
(05:59):
he's putting up four points for me.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
The guy's unstoppable games has ninety three points.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He's absolutely saved and so he you know, because if
you put up a zero, you're in trouble. I don't
care who you're playing, what week it is, whatever. I
that zero was gonna cost me, But the fact that
Josh Allen went off, now I'm in it. And I
was I was just thinking, my lucky stars, I have
a chance. That's all I want is a chance. For
Monday night, we got a doubleheader and you had one
(06:28):
guy left, I had one guy left. You were up
by one.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Point, and I was up by one point because Denver's
defense had that.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That terrible pick six. So it's idiot Coultual. I'll never forgive.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Who threw that stupid behind the back pass or whatever
the heck it was, and it got picked off for
pick six. You had defense who had nothing, and then
they scored that pick six.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So that it made you a little bit and put
me up one point. So to go into the game,
I have young Way Coup, you have Jordan Addison.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So it's one on one on Jordan Addison versus young
Way Coup, and so the whole the you know, the
Vikings play first and in the early part of the
game they're feeding it to Addison and I'm like, okay, catch, yeah,
you took the lead. Yeah, and I go listen, if
Addison can get in the end zone, this is over.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I've won. And they never really targeted him in the
end zone.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
It went to Jefferson and then they ran in a
couple and so Addison never got a real good look.
I think he had like I don't know, fifty yards
or yeah, he got so nothing great, nothing great, but
I mean solid. But I had the lead and then
the Falcons game starts, and the Falcons aren't really doing much.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
They're on fringe field goal the whole freaking game. Multiple
times they had a field goal, Kirk Cousins got sacked,
took about a field goal rage multiple times, and then
one other time they were going to kick a field goal.
They took a delayed game. It was crazy. They could
not get in field goal range.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He drew a pick at one point, there was a safety.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
There was all these wacky things and no field goals,
nothing done. I think you had one extra point, yeah,
and that was about it.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
At the end of the first half. I had one
point yeah, And I was like, oh my.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
God, praying man, please let this keep going, please let this.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
And the crazy thing was you were up eighty four
to eighty one at one point. But remember there's no
decimals with field goal kickers, it's just three. So I
needed two field goals just to come back, right, So
one field goal wouldn't have got the job done.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
So it kicks one field goal, but I still have
a percentage point lead. Yeah, like like I mean it
was like point two zero or something like that, and
so but it wins win. I don't care if it's
by you know, point one.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And so I'm just like, no more, no more kicks,
no more kicks. And then late in the fourth quarter,
what do the Falcons do?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Another field another field goal. But game's not over yet.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Games not over yet.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I have a one I have a one point four
lead right now.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, and the game is so basically, if they give
Addison a fifteen yarder, then you win, then I win
the game, or because I mean at least I had
the lead.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, so you have the lead. And then Yung Waiku
has another shot at a field goal, and this would
have put me up four and I think it would
have been over, but he missed, Yeah, so it'd be great.
So I'm just like, oh, my god.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But the Vikings have such a big lead over the
Bears there, they just want to run the clock out.
So they hit they hit Addison with one more pass.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And then that was it. It was over. So was
the final score.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
The final score was me eighty eight point seven, you
eighty six point three.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Point not less than two points two?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, which is crazy. And and what scared me a
little bit was after young wik who who now is
on ir By the way. So I got so lucky
after that. After the Bears scored and made it like
a fourteen point game, I got nervous that the Vikings
were gonna start slaying it.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Again, but they didn't know.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I was like, thank god.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You eliminated me from the playoffs. You're moving on to
the second round, so congratulations.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And I got a really tough matchup this week. I
don't know if I'm gonna but we'll see.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I mean, you're playing the one seed, right, I'm playing
the two seeds.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
But he's got Gibbs, Barkley, Bowers and Chase Brown.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Wow, that is tough.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Now I have Derreck, Henry Kenneth Walker, Bucky Irvin.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So it's not like I'm more impressed with his no,
I by a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Sorry, I'm protected for ninety.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Well here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It all depends on the health of Kenneth Walker, the
health of Bucky Irving. You know those guys have been questionable,
especially Walker. I mean, if he's fully back, then you
got a chance. I know you have sharbon Ay too.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Will Garrett Wilson.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Touchdowns. But we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Hopefully, hopefully you continue to win, you know, defend your
title now in our other league that we are in.
I've finished the last I told you it didn't really
matter what I did. You made the playoffs. Ye, So
how'd you do in that league?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I ended up winning one six.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
But again, listen, we need to work on your outlook
on life because you've been You were texting me all weekend.
How many times you said the frame just shoot me
or I have no chance.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
So it was one of the more frustrating weekends I've
ever had watching fans. I mean, you wanted both Kyler
Murray they had thirty points, the Cardinals, he had ten.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
They had.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
He had zero touchdown passes. How is that possible in
a thirty point game, Derrick Henry they scored thirty five
he had six points. Jonathan Taylor dropped the freaking ball
on the one yard line like it was like I
couldn't believe it, but you still want Yeah he had,
he had DeAndre Swift and Hawkinson and I was up
twenty one and I had a kicker left, and you
thought you were gonna lose. I thought I was gonna
(11:34):
lose too, but I ended up getting fifteen from my kicker.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, I mean it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You could have got zero and you would still you're
so you have the darkest outlook on everything, and I'm like, dude,
you're gonna win in both leagues.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I'm I'm trying to stay positive this weekend because these.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
These are tough. Yeah. Now I wouldn't now you should
be like this, I have no chance.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I don't know if I have no chance. We'll see though.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, yes, so you're still alive and both leagues. Congratulations,
that's fantasm. That's all you want in fantasy. I just
want to keep playing. When it ends, it sucks, you know,
tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, and when it ends, it sucks. And also my
giants suck, so like it's just stinks. The only thing
I'm rooting for is that they keep losing.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Mean, so it's just I don't want it to end.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I can say I am still alive and well in
my OG league, so thankfully I can still I'm still
playing there. I'm still doing great in that league. I
got a sneaky win last week, so I'm still alive
in my third league. Thankfully. You know, I have something
to play for, but not much. All right, let's get
to your fantasy playoff questions this week. You can hit
us up, but you can email us. He can hit
(12:37):
us up on X at the Show, Eddie at the Show,
or any kind of question you have. This question says
made it through the first round of the playoffs, got
a tough game this week?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Did you write this?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Can't decide between Cooper Cup, who let me down last week,
or Drake London with a new quarterback this week.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Who do you like?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I I probably lean towards Cooper Cup because the Jets
defense stinks, even though they have a bunch of guys
uh and they're not gonna go You're not gonna like
they know Cooper Cupp didn't get any catches, so they're
gonna get it now. Don't get me wrong. Though the
Giants are terrible. I have no idea how Michael Pennox
is gonna do, that's the question. But he can't be
worse than Kirk Cousins.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I feel like it's a bloom or bust situation. Yeah,
if you want to roll the dice with the Panix
and London, you can Cooper Cup. What did I say,
he's all reliable. Yeah, even though he's totally screwed me
last week. I mean, you realize if he has took
a couple of catches I beat you. Never mind, I
won't be thinking about that all week anyway. So yes,
if you know, I feel like I agree with you.
(13:36):
Like they're gonna feed him early and feed him all.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah. And and with the thing that Drake Londen may
have a big game or it may be, Hey, we're
gonna keep it real simple. We're gonna do a lot
of easy passes hand. The Giants are terrible. I have
people Giant fans tell me they're afraid they're gonna win.
Like what we what are you watching? Sorry? Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Next question says not sure what to do with Patrick
Mahomes this week with his injury. I have Russell Wilson
as my backup. Who did you start?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I'm not a Mahomes he already practiced in full. I
don't know if I.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Don't even think he has a designation. Of course, it's
crazy he's fakes injuries. I don't so I think it's
just incredible. I still wouldn't start him, though. I just
don't trust his offense, and I think the Ravens secondary
is pretty terrible.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I mean, they're still pretty good defense. I know that
they've had some missteps and things like that. I don't
like either guy, to be honest with you, this week
they're both tough matchups. You know, if if Mahomes plays,
and I'm sure he will because like I said, he
doesn't even have a designation because again he did he
did his yearly limp. The guy's incredible. Please give him
(14:42):
his props. I guess I'll go with Mahomes slightly. This
next question says lost David Montgomery last week brutal. I'm
not sure who I should start, between Rico Dowdle or
Isaiah Pacheco, who hasn't really done much.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I'd probably go with dow Will just because you're gonna
get more carries and there playing the Bucks Bucks defense
could be it's pretty tough. But I'd still go with
dow Wittle because you're gonna get more carries.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, he's been more on it than Pacheco has so far.
I agree with you. I think that that's probably the start.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Tough Pacheco has come back from.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
What do you have?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
A break up? So hard man, and they're gonna split carries?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I just yeah, final question, need a defense to flex.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
This is tough.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
He says, there are no great options. Any advice on
who I should pick up this week?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I picked I'm in the same situation really and the
two and the a hole I'm playing picked up defenses
last week to screw me. So I picked up the
Bengals defense just because because they're playing against the Browns
and not Jameis Winston, Dorian Thompson Robinson, he stinks. I'm sorry. Also,
I would look at picking up the Jaguars defense. If
(15:49):
Aiden O'Connell plays, it doesn't play. If ad O'Connell plays,
I wouldn't touch the Jaguars defense. But if it's Desmond Ritter,
I'd pick up the Jaguars defense.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Well, it's tricky because I don't know who's available in
your league and things like that. You know, it's weird,
like if randomly say the Titans are available. I mean,
you look at Anthony Richardson. He is just atrocious, and
so you're gonna get some turnovers and things like that.
So I think that's a decent option. I don't know,
it's a tricky question because I don't know who's available.
(16:18):
So you know, good luck with that. I don't I
really don't know what to tell you all that one.
All right, let's get to our starts and sits for
the week. At quarterback, who is your start?
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'm playing against him and I'm starting him in another league.
Baker may Field that Cowboys Trayvon Diggs is out. Cowboys
are terrible at home going with Baker.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Interesting my start. You might be hearing me say this
and go Eddie, come on, man, what are you talking about?
I have eyes, but I like the matchup this week.
Don't shoot me. I'm gonna say, Caleb Williams, Wow, I
get it. The Bears have looked really, really bad on offense.
Caleb does not look like the number one overall pick.
I understand all of that. I agree with all that.
(16:56):
But look at this Lions defense. They are decimated. I
mean they have nobody left. No, they have like fifteen
guys on injured reserve. So I gotta imagine if there
is a game for Caleb, I still think the Lions
are gonna win. I don't think the Bears are gonna
do well. All of that being said, I think Caleb
at some point is gonna figure something out here and
(17:17):
hit the hit his guys that are wide open. He
just doesn't get rid of the ball quick enough. And
if you go back and watch the film, you can
just go, Okay, well, dude, you got to get rid
of the ball.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Throw it.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I mean, Roman Doonsday's wide open, Keenan Allen's wide open. DJ,
They're all open, And so you just got to get
rid of the ball quicker. And so if there's a
week he's gonna do it, I think this might be
the week. Who's your sit?
Speaker 3 (17:36):
We talked about him a couple minutes ago. I'm sitting
Patrick Mahomes. Oh, I got the Texas. Texans have a
good defense. I don't think Mahomes. Mahomes is the best
quarterback in the.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
League of all time.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I don't know about of all time pretty close, But
I'm not starting this week of fantasy.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
My sit this week is a guy he sort of out,
sort of an up and down year, but the matchup
this week is very tough for him. C J. Stroud
is my sit taking on the Chiefs. Chiefs are unbelievable
on defense, and so I just I don't know CJ.
I just don't think he's gonna have a big week.
This might be a Joe Mixon game. We'll have to
wait and see. Running back. Who's your start?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Um? Luckily I'm not playing against him. James Connor at
the Panthers. He's it's crazy man. He left the Steelers
and he's been great for the Cardinals. Two touchdowns last week,
ten yards. Yeah, it's start James Connor.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
My start this week is a guy that you are
probably hoping he has a good game. You're probably still
angry with him for dropping that football as he crossed
the goal line. Jonathan Taylor is gonna make good for this.
I know he feels bad what he did to you,
and so Jonathan Taylor is gonna have a big game
against Tennessee. I like Jonathan Taylor. Who's your sit?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Nause Harris Ravens are not great against the pass, really
good against the run. Has had one hundred yards rushing
since October, has two touchdowns since then. I wouldn't start
Nashi Harris all right.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Same thing with me, with a guy who's again up
and down season. He was a high draft pick, hasn't
done much all year. He's had some decent games. But
I don't like Breese Hall this week taking on a
very stout Rams defense. I think the Rams are gonna
run over the Jets this week, and I don't think
Breese Hall is gonna have a great game wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Who's your start?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
You're with Juwan Jennings. This is the Dolphins. The Dolphins
wide receivers have given up in two games one hundred
yards to DeVante Adams, a hundred yards of Garrett Wilson,
and they didn't give a lot of yards to Nico Collins,
but they get up two touchdowns to him. So I'm
starting Juwan Jennings if I had.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Him, interesting, I'm gonna go with a guy that you have.
There's a lot of guys that you have that I'm
picking heavy here. I like t Higgins this week taking
on Cleveland. You know, Cleveland is Cleveland, but T since
he's been back, he hasn't done very much. I mean,
it's been the Jamar Chase Show. So at some point
I gotta imagine T is.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Gonna you know, I need that tea.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't okay, I'm not really sure what that means,
but whatever, but I like to jiggas this week.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Who's your sick?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I hate to do this. I gotta said Calvin Ridley.
Oh he's been Calvin Ridley saved you a couple of times,
save me coup of times.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It's hurt me because he didn't sit. He didn't start him.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Mason Rudolph's coming back. Oh that's not good. The cold
d isn't terrible. So sitting sitting Ridley.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Okay, sittingn Ridley? All right, my sit this week again.
You know, we're having some issues with that Houston Kansas
City game. I don't like d hop this week. DeAndre
Hopkins against Houston, his former team. Usually I like revenge games,
but with Patrick Maholmes, he's not gonna be able to
move around like he normally does. I think this might
be a good Kelsey game because it's gonna be those
(20:33):
quick passes, quick dump off passes. I don't think d
hop Is is going to be be able to get
open very much. I just don't like that that matchup
tight end, who's your start?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
You're gonna be him crazy here. Most tight ends stink.
Other than like three, I have no tight ends that
could play. So I am going with Brenton Strange.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh you're not gonna like my sit.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
And here's why he had twelve targets last week eleven catches.
The are terrible against tight ends, knocking Brenton starting in
both leagues.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Oh dude, you're going all in on Brenton Strange. That's right.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
This is one of those things where I'm gonna look
at you right now and say, are you sure this
is not a great move by you? I don't think
it is. He's my sit. I'm not even gonna get
to my start.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Who cares.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
It's Trey McBride, who because he hasn't scored a touchdown
all year, He's gonna score a touchdown, let me finish.
He's gonna score his touchdown this week. That's my start.
Strange is my sit because I have seen in some
uh you know, projections in leagues that he's like one
of the big pickups this week, and all that stuff
is Evan Ingram not playing is out, He's done. Okay,
that being said, stop it. He's a Jaguar. You know
(21:38):
that's not gonna happen. Dude, I'm really nervous for you
to doing this. Going all in on somebody named Brenton
Strange I've never heard of before this week is a
very strange move.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Who are your other options?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Well, in one league it's between him and Friar move, okay,
so I might start fighting with And the other league
it's been him and Hunter Henry.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I know what happened to your tight ends.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Goddard hurt and he's done. And the other league I've
Dalton kin Kate. He sucks Kate.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Daves back a little bit. Last week he had a
thesent game.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I'm concerned about. I would go kin Kid a million
times before. I'd go with some guy named Brenton Strange
who I don't even know it. Listen, I hope it
goes off. I hope he goes off.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I'm rooting for you. I'm rooting for your palace get
a little bit. I mean not entirely, but I haven't
been in.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
My mind yet i've been. I'm sure I'll switching up all.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
On Breton Strange.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Well, we'll see that this is gonna do it for
the rest of the year for us. We're going on
vacation next couple of weeks, but we will come back,
tell you how our fantasy seasons wrapped up, give out
our year end awards and all that good stuff. Hopefully
you go out there and win a championship.
