Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Listener Questions, Fantasy News

Then Ryan Tanner. Now, I've switched. I'm switched to Tannenhill. Yeah. I don't know if Jason listened to the show or not. Oh, yeah. Did you listen to the show while we were gone? Yeah, I did. I did. Or why you were gone? Yeah. We weren't gone. We were here. Yeah. You were celebrating your anniversary. With the, the, the, the, the, the P.A.T. change, how I think that Sam Bradford is going to get a noticeable bump in his points. Did you have any quick comments?

on the PAT change since you were not here. Yeah, Andy and I talked about that when the news broke off the air, and that was the first thought that we had was the Eagles, how often they're going to go for it. And those points, even if he gets it half the time, I mean, they're just extra points that normally a kicker gets, and now the QB gets. So I like that. Also, if you listen to the show, you heard a very loud debate about joick bell. I would like to formalize any sort of joick bell related.

bets if you guys want them. I'm not passionate enough about joick bell to make water bets. Well, it should be with Mike, the Abdullah Express. The Abdullah Express versus the joic jalopy. And I'm trying... I got an easy bet for you. It's not in my favor. And it's terrible. Head to head? Sure. What was your... No, no, no, that's it. No, no, no. I want to know what your bet was. I'm not going to tell you now. I want the head to head. Let's hear what you had, Andy. Well, I was going to give him like second half of the year.

Ooh, I like it. Second half of the year head to head? That's terrible for me, considering we've all said the joig will be great in the beginning of the year. So what? Will you take that bet? I heard from yourself, Andy, that you were the, you were the guy sticking up for these old guys. That's fine. Second half of the year, you want it? So second half, what is that? Last eight games of the year, fantasy points. Oh, yeah. Water bet. This is my own problem here. I get into these.

I get into these horrible situations. What? Is that a train? Oh my God. All born! For the listeners who have not seen the Abdullah Express picture, stop on by our Twitter at the FF ballers. For our listeners who don't know who Amir Abdullah is, stop by our website. They better know who he is. Yeah, well. I'm the defender of The Proven.

Whether it's Frank Gore or Joyc Bell or Marciaun Lynch or Shady McCoy. Jeremy Macklin. That's so funny to me that you're supporting him. You know, you weren't here, but I had to disclaim on the show. I'm not like all over Jeremy Macklin. I just believe he's better than the way you guys are portraying him. Which our drunk friend agrees with on our voice now. Yeah, I looked at my... Oh, that was Alan Robinson.

Oh, well, yeah, yeah, I'm not bad. You're jumping around. So, Mike, I looked at my rankings when I was with Andy between shows because I wanted to see where I had them both. I had Jeremy Macklin one spot ahead of Alan Robinson. So they were right next to each other in my rankings. This is going to be close all year. I saw another person on Twitter wrote in and asked you why we call Helen Robinson the Target. Well, then that's a fair question. And also, who is he? There's some newer players who aren't.

who don't know certain terminology. They're not familiar with the elite wide receiver class that is the Jacksonville Jaguars. You're going to eat your words. I'm not. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about that. Go ahead. Oh, just for just for quick reference. A target monster is just referring to a player who gets... It's a creature from the deed. It's a player who gets a high volume of targets and targets are opportunities.

for scoring fantasy points. And if you don't, some players can have these games where they get four targets and they have a 50-yard touchdown so you think that they're great for fantasy. But in reality, they're really not getting the opportunities like Alan Robinson's going to get. I often go into my ESPN accounts and sort the free agent wide receivers by targets. Yes. Because I like the opportunity. Yeah, pay attention. All right. If you, uh...

liked any of the advice here and you want to run it through your own mock draft drafts. You can do that free at fantasy draftwizard.com. Just pick a drafting position and you get to basically in about two minutes figure out exactly what a team looks like from drafting from the one spot or the five spot or the nine spot or the seven spot. Do you want to go through all the spots? Yeah, any of the spots. But that's it for today's show. We'll be back here on Thursday morning. Any closing thoughts, gentlemen?

There was a listener who wrote in a rebuttal. There was a statement that I made a few weeks ago. I was too long to read. I'll just summarize it. Where I made a claim that the far superior Oreo is the double stuff Oreo. And he wrote in that he's sad for humanity and he is strongly on the side of the single. His argument was that the cookies are the core piece of...

The Oreo. Let me tell you, I really enjoyed his argument. It was well said. It was articulate. It made me think about my life. Yeah. And really, it made me think about the financial institution of America. All that said, he was just absolutely wrong. Because the stuffing is, I mean, my wife was actually reading it. And she's like, well, yeah, who likes just the stuffing by itself? And I was like, you don't. No, but I do. When your wife was agreeing with him? Maybe I'm just fat, but.

I mean, I take the cookies off and I eat the stuffing and I put those garbage wafers in the garbage. No, there's a reason that Coldstone Creamery added the insides of Oreos as a flavor by itself with no cookie at all. I completely agree with the point. You need the cookie. Absolutely. But the single stuff is just not enough. I need double. I got to double the stuff. And we'll leave you with that. Thanks for listening. I know. Thank you for listening to the fantasy footballers.
