2019 Footie Nominations + Quivering Mustaches!

In the game? Yeah. Like why? Because he was supposed to be back and they let J. Ajai go, but ended up being the Boston Scott Show in his three touchdowns. So it just worked better for what the offense was doing. It seemed like neither team wanted to win that division for a little bit, but Jordan Howard didn't get any snaps. Yeah. So looking forward, Kenny Gallaudet, concussion in week 17, head coaches fired. Freddie Kitchens, farewell. Yep. Yeah, hey.

Congratulations, Browns fans. I think Freddie Kitchens was a horrible head coach. And so I think this was the right move. Pat Shermer, fired. But you know who wasn't? Dave. It's me. David Gettle. To me, David Gettleman doesn't deserve to be fired. I agree. I mean, he, Daniel Jones looks like a great pick. I was kind of surprised that Pat got fired. Me too. That one actually surprised. I feel like it was because.

of that last game where it's like the Eagles lose everybody and they just trounce you in the fourth quarter is like, okay. I like that. Shermer. I did too. Ron Rivera expected to get the Redskins head coaching job. Do you like that higher? I do. I personally think Ron Rivera is a good coach. He took over a team that was like a two-win Panthers team ended up.

you know, with plenty of division titles, went to a Super Bowl. You know, he wasn't always the most winningest coach, but I like him. And when you hear players current and former talk about him, no one ever says anything about Ron Rivera other than what an amazing man and coach he was for them. Yeah. Yeah, they made a change in Carolina. Judge Norman was saying he's, you know, if that happens, he's, you know, he was asked like, do you think it's going to be different? He goes,

Everything you see is going to be different. He's just playing for his job. Sure. I was going to say he, is he saying that from like the stands? Because I'm not sure he's back in Washington. That was the please. Yeah. Uh, we, Ron, you remember me, buddy? I was really good. Remember? I'm good. Yeah. Yeah. Weekly rewind, news and notes brought to you by the sleeper app. Let's talk studs. This week's fantasy stud muffins. All right. We, we have some truth episodes coming up after our footy awards.

Breaking down, you know, the big picture, did players actually help you or are you going to be blinded by their fantasy finishes simply because of total points over the course of the year? Good example would have been Devante Adams. Like you said, you know, you look at the end of year finish. Does that end up muddying their draft position? Does week 17 end up muddying their draft position? Because it, you know, pushes them forward into a fantasy finish that, you know, wasn't reflective of the season and how they helped fantasy owners.

I'm curious when we talked to the studs, the stinkers today. Did anybody do something in week 17 here that we need to pay attention to in that vein? Studs-wise, DAC was great. 303 and 4. Jared Goff 319 and 3. Fitzpatrick, we talked about him. Drew Brees. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Gardner Minshew were the big surprises of the week for me. I...

The fact that Jacksonville bounced back and Gardner came out and threw almost 303 against Indy was, that was a sensational performance. It'll be, is Gardner starting next year for the Jaguars? I'd say high probability. Yeah. But they have to, you know, decide what they're doing with. With Nick Fools? With their head coaching position too, because Morone is going to be relieved of duties. Man, the NFL is, look.

That's a tough place to work. I was surprised they told them beforehand. Like it must have been a really casual conversation. This was not like a, hey, Doug, you're fired. This was like, hey, here's what we're thinking. How do you feel about coaching that last game and then scooching on out of town? And he's like, I got nothing to do. Why don't I go out? Well, okay. Why don't I go out and put my best foot forward and get an offense or defense coordinator position somewhere else? Yeah. Go win the game. And he did.

Derek Henry's good. 32 for 2.11 and 3 wins the NFL rushing title. While not playing one of those weeks. Yeah, I posted a very arbitrary, mostly purposeless, unhelpful top 10 for next year. Nice. Starting right now. The best kind. The best kind. I reserve my right to change my mind on everybody. But Derek Henry, if they bring him back and they bring back Tannahill.

Holy Derek Henry. I mean, just unbelievable. Tanahill is the linchpin of that situation, though, for me. But there are a lot of like when you look towards 2020 and those players, there are a lot of those like lynchpin situations. Yeah. With, uh, you know, like Nick Chubb in Cleveland and whether they have cream hunt there or not and, you know, what the offense is looking like. Like that changes a player's ranking significantly. Um,

And then obviously Henry having, if you put him in the exact same situation, this is just a monster season. Everything you ever hoped for from Derek Henry and everything you thought you could never have. Think about where we were mentally with Derek Henry and Devante Parker for years.

Like, is this going to be a problem for us? Because we're now going to read Derek Henry career arcs into other running backs or Devante Parker career arcs into other wide receivers. I think it's rare with Henry because Henry came in and was behind a star. You know, DeMarco Murray was, you know, the guy where it wasn't like Derek Henry was bad. Whereas Devante Parker was just bad. He just wasn't good forever. And then all of a sudden the.

The light went on, and he's now a great wide receiver. Yeah, and Bershaw Perryman's like, I'm good due. Yes, that dude earned a lot of money these last couple weeks. Boston Scott, three touchdowns, 84 yards receiving. That dude's built. That dude is built, by the way, and that ridiculous spin move. The spin move was incredible. The jokes were flying around about how it looked like when you're playing madden and you just accidentally hit the wrong button and then you just spin.

Did you not see his tweet about it? I did. He actually addressed it and you talked about like the Wi-Fi was lagging. Sorry about the spin move. Wi-Fi made the game lag. That's great. That's a great tweet. Joe Mixon had an absolutely monster game. Once again, he's a really good player. Yes. And if you take, you know. Their team should get, I mean, they've got pretty much nowhere to go, but up at this point. Well, they already drafted, Burrow.

He's on his way to Cincinnati right now. You know, the offensive line that was so bad. You know, it's one of those situations where it should be a better year next year than this year for Joe Mixson. I just love the talents of Joe Mixon. I can't get enough. He's going to be very, very good. So where does it stop? Where was he in your top 10? It wasn't in it yet.

Really? Yeah, I want to see what happens there. I feel like Mix is an easy top 10 pick. I told everybody on Twitter, whoever I left out is pencil them in at 11 and 12 on the rankings. Whoever I left out, that's exactly where I have them. No, Mixing, you know, the Chub situation, that's where it's right on the line there for me. Gotcha. Damien Williams? Yes. Insert Mike Thoughts. There's a sunglasses icon here in the show. You can hear them.

I don't even need to speak them. Nothing like Week 17 for a victory lap here. Exactly what I was going to say. Man, just when it mattered the least. Just speaking of mattering the least, Mike Boone, thanks a lot. Oh my goodness. What a double bird move. Mike Byrne. Mike Boone just pulled. Mike Bird. Mike Bird. That's his good name because everyone.

played Mike Boone in week 16 championships because he looked good in a short stint in week 15 when he was the guy and then against a very vulnerable Packer defense and now he plays the Bears and goes for 17 148 and 1 oh my goodness well that's what analysts saw and that's why people said he could be a I think I said he could be a championship winner and I was not wrong because there are people playing in week 17 but did they play Boone

Probably not. Someone did. Send me that screenshot. Mostert with two more touchdowns, six games in a row, Rahim Moster into the end zone. It's freaking ridiculous, man. And nobody else really got work or was productive in that game. He only had 10 carries. That's all he needs. Yeah, it's an efficiency thing with Rahim Moster. Marlon Mack, your start of the week, two touchdowns, 77 yards on the ground. We'll see where that team heads next year. That'll be interesting. Yes.

What do they do at the quarterback position? Michael Gallup decided to score thrice. Foo! Three times to finish the year. If you think that that will affect his end of season ranking quite a bit, you are right. That is a really, really impressive week 17 stat line. What do you fantasy owners do with Michael Gallup? Because you're in a situation here where Cooper's not under contract. You don't know the head coach right now. I mean... Sure you do. It's lifer. Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it. I mean, I...

Part of me is surprised. Let me refresh the Internet real quick and see if he's been fired yet. I wanted to say that I'm surprised Garrett hasn't been fired. But then I realized by the time people are listening to this, he very well has. He could. And then I realized he will never ever be fired. He will have the job for another 15 years. He will be fired and just show back up. Like it never happened. Like if you look at this team and what they, you know, they're going to have to do to pay DAC.

It seems crazy for them not to bring back more weapons. Like, pay DAC and reduce his weapons. I like Gallup, but I can't imagine he's the one next year without Cooper alongside him. I think Jerry Jones has to fight. Like, Public has, you know, the pitchforks and Garrett has to be fired. So he's going to fire him. And then he's going to hire Mason Ferret. And he'll come in. He'll come in and he'll be totally just him in a wig.

Oh, I see what you mean. Mason Ferret. Goodness, it took me a second. We'll recognize it from the clapping. We'll see right through it. Debo Samuel. Is Debo Samuel the wide receiver won in San Francisco? Yes.

Is he a somebody that's a sleeper for next year's drafts? I don't, I mean, it's too early to tell how many people will be on board to where it ruins his sleeper status. But he is the one. Emmanuel Sanders is only getting older. And Sanders isn't under contract. No, he's not. So I imagine Debo is. Yeah. You'll be talking about Debo and draft picks and Jalen Heard coming back and things like that in San Francisco. Rashad Perryman 5 for 1, 334 and 1?

Get paid, man. Target's getting money. A.J. Brown breaks 1,000 yards on the season 4 for 124 and 1. One of my favorite players coming out of this draft that I thought would be handicapped forever with Marcus Mariotta. When he was drafted by the Titans, it was just, well, that stinks because he was one of our favorites, and now he has no fantasy relevance. Tana Hill takes over, and he is a top 10 wider receiver from that point on. It'll be very interesting.

where he gets drafted next year, you're going to have to pay up. Like, he's not falling in draft. You're going to have to pay. And if he just continues, you know, to thrive, you're going to be happy with it. But it's, it's a risk. And I saw the stat. I wish I could credit who it was. I apologize. I don't remember because this is just the Twitter timeline. But he is the first wide receiver to break a thousand yards with under 90 targets. Yeah. I mean, he's just a dinet.

had, I think, four touchdowns of more than 50 yards, which is the most in the NFL, like dynamic explosive player. 20 yards per reception, man. Yeah, he's any, he's a beast. Humongous. Nobody can tackle him. These DBs cannot tackle that guy. Such a good player. They just can't literally, they can't get their arms around them. It's like, but that just goes to show that they have to link hands. Yes. That's got to be a full red rover situation.

It does say something about specifically like A.J. Brown, maybe even Hollywood Brown, where when we're prognosticating in the off season, when we're looking forward, and all we have is backwards to rely on, just to leave a little bit of wiggle room and margin, even the Debo Samuel situation, because you have so much turnover in the NFL offensively.

And, you know, I think Debo got undervalued a little bit because there were multiple rookies drafted there. Same thing in Baltimore with Hollywood Brown and Miles Boykin. Same thing in Washington. Undervalued Terry McLaurin because, you know, they also drafted Harmon. So I think talent matters a lot. Talent and draft stock. Yeah. And those are three teams. Baltimore, their passing game last year, not good. Washington couldn't see it being good.
