Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 9 Matchups, Election Results, In-or-Out

Question mark with all the wide receivers there. The only healthy guy is Dantrell Inman. And if you don't know, Inman, you know, a lot of times, Inman is thought of as like this six foot average whatever receiver. Boring. Yeah, a big boring receiver. He's six foot three and ran like a four three in his in his pro day.

He's a physical freak. He's a weapon. He's a weapon. That's the best way to say. He's a weapon. And we've seen games where he's exploded. This could be one of those games because the chips are falling right or rather wrong with the other wide receivers. Would you say that George Marker in town? Man. Perfect storm situation? Yeah. I think one of them has arrived. But I think the other is delayed. Yeah, the other flight is delayed. Not a perfect storm because Tennessee.

You know, if garbage time didn't happen last week, we'd probably still look at Tennessee's defense with a little bit more respect. So it's a half a storm. Last guy here I want to ask about flex worthy or not. Two out of the past three weeks has been very good. One dud in between, though. Kindle Wright. Yeah. You know Mario loves Kindle right. He loves Kendall Wright. I think I'm okay starting him as a flex. Okay. Nothing more. Nothing less. Would you start?

CJ ProSice or Kendall Wright? That's a good question. I think I would go Kendall right. He has a much longer history of getting it done. All right. I had to close my eyes and think hard, though. You did. Broncos at Raiders. All right. Welcome back to Earth, Derek Carr. You get the Denver Broncos, the number one pass defense in the league. You have a keep to leave, a game time decision. Obviously, it bodes.

Better for Derek Cars. I was listening to the radio this morning. There was rumors in the bushes that Taleb might be missing the whole rest of the year. Really? Yeah. I need to follow up. These are just rumors at this point. That's a far cry from game time decision. Well, he could be a game time decision every week. Yeah, that's scary. I mean, he's one of the best in the game. A difference maker for sure. Especially at poking eyeballs. All right. Gouging more like.

Devante Booker must start this week. You're rolling out Demarius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders without hesitation against the Raiders 27th ranked past defense, even if we haven't loved everything we've seen out of Trevor Simia. Yeah, I think the real question that people have with this game is the Oakland passing game. Can you start? Can you trust Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree? And how low do you? How, oh.

Dying here. How low do you push Derek Carr below other quarterback? So let's talk about those. You start smoking? No, man. Maybe I need to. Back when they were showing off the artwork in the old days, they'd have a. Yes, I'd have a pipe in one hand. Yes. Look at my artwork. Yeah, I agree. That's a storyline from this game. The Broncos defense, this is that something got to get. Oh, God.

It's contagious. Oh, man. Our throats are dying. Oh, my gosh. The Broncos defense is allowed just 19 receptions per game. Derek Carr has averaged 40 pass attempts per game. So what do you do if you are, if you're figuring out what to do on offense for Oakland? Are you trying to lean on Latavius Murray-Di-Andre Washington? Are you trying to do something different? I think you have to.

I pumped the brakes on Derek Carr because I don't, he's not a plug and play guy to me. I've seen too many of his failures. Oakland is favored. You got to be kidding me. No, they're at home. I don't care. They're six and two. I don't care. I think this is. Let me make an argument real quick for Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. Do it. Here's the thing with Denver. The reason you have this kind of these two unstoppable forces is because the passing.

the passing offensive line when they're just incredible in Oakland. Derek Carr has very little pressure on him and he has had the time. The reason that Denver's passing defense is so good is because they put on the pressure on the quarterback. They don't stop runs in the backfield because they are pinning their ears back and going for the quarterback. This game is going to be determined by whether or not Derek Carr.

will get pressured like he has not been this year by that Denver D line. That's what it comes down to. And so there is a situation here where Oakland's offensive line actually wins out just in that situation. And if they do, and you're down a keep to lib, then one of those wide receivers can actually have a decent game. Now, I'm not saying. The Raiders win this game at home against Denver. They take a shankle hold of the division.

and put themselves in a totally different circumstance than they've been in a long, long time. This is a big game. This is why I'm looking forward to this game. Maybe more than any game this year. Big implications for sure. I have both wide receivers as. Yeah, where do you have them? Where do you have Cooper and Crabtee? Because people freak out, they bench those guys against him. No, no. You can't bench them, but I expect lower things out of them. But I'm not like grabbing.

a waiver guy. I'm rooting for the Raiders. I have Cooper 29 and Crabtree 22 this week. So you've got them right on that wide receiver two, wide receiver three range where you're probably, you should be starting them and tempering your expectation. We're going to move on to the Monday night game and then get into the daily dose with Chris Meaney. Bills at Seahawks. All right. The bills take on the Seattle. Seahawks in Seattle. The piece together.

wide receiver core in Buffalo does not bow, you know, does not bode well for an offensive performance here from Tyrod Taylor. They got Percy. He's back. Yeah, that's kind of my point. Percy Harvin. When you need to sign Percy Harvin, things ain't going well. So if it was like 2011, it would be okay. So Jason, you said that McCoy played again.

Macoy was practicing. Yes, McCoy was practicing today again. Now go up to Seattle and play against Seattle coming off an injury. So stupid. Don't do it, man. Don't do it, Rex. And it's not. Do they even get on the plane then? If they have to go to Seattle and play with Gillisley and Woods and Harvin, do you just, hey, we're going to skip this one? Well, I mean, you could check out the space needle. It's from Starbucks. I would still go.

Just throwing it out there. The more that I think about this, the more that I am actually convinced McCoy's going to play. Because Rex Ryan is going to listen to his players. He's a players coach. And McCoy is going to say he's fine to play. It's the wrong decision. I am adamant. The question now becomes, you don't, do you really play McCoy injured against Seattle in Seattle? Like we've been talking about, oh, hold on to, hold on to Gilly, you know, and start McCoy if he plays. But let's say McCoy plays.

Do you really want that? How did McCoy do last week in Miami? Well, how did you do the week before? When he was healthy? Great. And you have to presume health if he's coming back. I do not have to presume health coming off of a hamstring injury that he just re-agravated the last time he tried to come out on it on one week. I do not presume health there. Well, he didn't play last week. You're thinking two weeks ago. Yeah, he took a week off. He took a week off. Yes, two weeks ago. I am choosing to presume health after a one week absence. If he plays.

Had the extra time this week, I don't think you could possibly sit at Shaw McCoy. I agree. I mean, I have him, I have him statted like he's going to play, and he's still at 12 for me because of the volume. What is Doug Baldwin rest of the season? Wide receiver two, I think. Here's a problem for the Seattle Seahawks. The Bill's defense are averaging over three sacks a game. That's number one in the league.

The offensive line for Seattle is not the best unit in the league. They are, in fact, one of the worst. And Russell can't move. And Russell cannot move. I mean, you have a situation here where you want to talk about it's a crazy world, a team is favored at home and possibly the best home field advantage for the Seattle Seahawks. If I had an almost upset of the week, I would click it right here because the...

the Bill's defense against an immobile Russell Wilson. All they need is a couple big plays from Tyrod Taylor. And Percy Harvin. Revenge game for Harvin, by the way. Oh, revenge game. They didn't even play him in Seattle. Yeah. But Marvin comes back. So I just, I'm over under on Harvin getting a concussion. I'm hurt in the second quarter or the first. Come on. I'm presuming hell. Percy. All right. So I'm just, Jimmy Graham is a play for me.

Baldwin, I mean, you play him. And then I guess the bigger question for me is the woke one. But that's not even a big question because I'm playing him. He's a touchdown machine. And then C.J. Procise, we said, he's a desperation play. He actually produced last week. He almost scored on a 45-yard reception. I think he put up 12 fantasy points because of four catches, four opportunities.

behind center running the ball. And they said they want to give him more opportunities. So look, you drafted him. There's opportunity there with C.J. Spiller out. It seems like ProCise is going to get the chance. Interesting. He's a talented player. Right. Right. So we're going to move on now. Talk to Chris Meaney. Give you some DFS knowledge. Daily knows. All right. We've been gone for a couple weeks here.

But we got in contact with Chris Meena. We have located him. I think he was at the North Pole or something. That was, of course, what was going on. But we brought him back because people need their fandal advice. How are you doing today, Mr. Meaney? Doing pretty well. Looking at this schedule, though, guys, I'm not in love with it. I don't like the six teams on Vi. So let's start at the top. We got quarterbacks. What are you looking at doing this week?

Up for quarterbacks this week, guys. Like I mentioned with, you know, some of the buys and some of these quarterbacks, you know, Dak Prescott's got a pretty good match against Cleveland. Everybody always wants to play against Cleveland, but this could be a run game and it could be in the situation in the second half where they just run the football. He's $7,600 on Fandall. But I'm just looking at Aaron Rogers and Drew Brees at the top. I mean, it's just, it's so safe. I mean, Aaron Rogers up against the Colts, he just thrown the ball a ton, 38 times, 56, 42, 45, that's the last four games.

Seven touchdowns in his last two. You're going to have to pay up for him at 91, but I have no problem with it. And then Drew Breeze, the San Francisco 49ers are just a joke. I mean, they're just awful at every aspect of the game, especially defensively. So Breeze at $8,600. I like him in, like it to a couple of wide receivers, but his favorite target seems to be Michael Thomas lately. So I'm definitely on board with that. And then on the flip side of that, I just kind of, you know, was given a lot of heat to the 49ers.

Colin Kaepernick, 140 rush yards in the last two games. I think he's more of a GPP tournament play. I wouldn't trust him in a head-to-head in a 50-50, but I think it's $7,200 against the Saints. Maybe he can connect with Tori Smith and a deep ball. You know, maybe Carlos Hyde is completely healthy in this game, and he can catch a few balls for him. But Kaepernick is just making things happen with his legs, and that's what we love. All right, let's move it over to the wide receiver position. Are we going up? You're going big. You got some cheapies. What's your plan this week?

Yeah, I'm not really spending up. Again, I did mention Dak. Odell Beckham, he even said himself. He's not 100%. He's more like 85%. That Eagles defense has been pretty good this year. Antonio Brown is Antonio Brown. At $8,700, if you're going to get Big Ben back here this weekend. I know it's a divisional matchup, and those teams play each other pretty tight. But you can't go wrong with Antonio Brown. Usually this guy's up in the $9,000 range. So at $8,700, that's a steal. Des Bryant.

14 targets last week, four receptions, 100 plus yards, scored a touchdown. Probably would have scored two or three if it was Romo throwing the ball, not Dak. But I'm fine with those guys. A little bit cheaper down, though. Devante Adams, $7,100 against the Colts. I'm just looking at that game in particular, guys. The total is Saints, 49ers, 52, and then Colts, Packers, 54 points. You got to look at that stuff. 30 targets in the last two weeks for Adams. I don't even care if Montgomery or Cobber playing. I like Adams.

Sanders at $6,800, $75 targets this week. He's got Oakland, or 75 targets on the year. He's got to play him. That's a must play. Everybody's down on Alan Robinson, so this is a perfect time to maybe play him. I know against the Chiefs, it's not great, but they've been giving up some big plays here and there, $6,700. Bortles has just been a joke so far. And Dante Moncrief, guys, came back last week, nine targets, scored a touchdown, $6,100.

In fact, his last 10 games with Andrew Lucky's got seven touchdowns. In those three games, he didn't have a touchdown. Two of them came against Denver. We know what they do. And then last year, against Carolina when they had a good defense. And then I mentioned Michael Thomas. $5,800. $42 receptions, leads that team. Six targets, six grabs, 63 yards against Seattle in a tough matchup. The week before that, 10 grabs 130. And there's a lot going on in San Diego. You know, if...
