Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 6 Review, Studs and Duds, MNF Preview, Fantasy News

The points are there as long as you're paying attention to the matchup. I agree. And just a reminder to everybody, you can leave us a voicemail question at 302-464 TFFB. You can go to the website, submit a question, the fantasy footballers.com. Nick writes in from Malta, he says going into tonight's game, he is six points down in a PPR league. Ryan Matthews or Sproles tonight. Opponent has no one left to play.

And he says he's looking forward to more waterbed videos. The waterbed videos are being edited. Yeah, they were already done and paid out for last week. Oh, my gosh. Stay tuned for that, by the way. Because I, let's just put it this way. This is all saying, I spun the wheel to get paid out, and I had to do what was called the English Channel. Oh, yeah. So just be ready to me to me. Finally, we got it. And it turned out. I have a similar story to you on our waivers this week. I actually went, and I don't understand it, because it was eight in the morning. It was before waivers go through.

but Sproles was locked. I didn't understand that at all. I couldn't pick him up. I couldn't drop anybody on my team. Is it the problem? I could pick him up, but I couldn't drop somebody who played at 9. You might have had afternoon game guys. Maybe they were all afternoon. I don't know. But I do like Sproles a lot. You're probably just doing it wrong. Just like your life. Hey. Hey. I think it's a good question, but you probably still have to go Ryan Matthews here. Matthews for sure. Yeah. Well, the...

Only question is that groin, and we haven't had any update on Ryan Matthews. No, he's practiced. Has he? Yeah. Yeah, he has. Full PPR league. I can double check that just because I don't want to say the wrong thing. But I had read Matthews this morning. Here's my thought. Depending on Ryan Matthews's health, if you read up before the game that Ryan Matthews is okay, or they're going to test it, or it's a game time decision, then go with Sproles because you know he's going to play.

He only needs six points, and in a PPR setting, I'm really hard-pressed to believe that Darren Sproles doesn't get six points. I mean, if he gets, you know, four catches, three catches for...

for 30 yards. Right. You know, that's it. And when we were previewing this game last week, the New York Giants defense has been giving up all of those little screens over the top. That's why I picked Zach Ertz as my player of the week for tight end was because I said Sproles and Zach Ertz, those are the two players that are going to exploit that. So if Matthews is playing and he's healthy...

He's probably going to get more usage than Sproles. Yeah, you have to monitor that before the game. The groin injury only popped up on Friday. He went through practice on Saturday, but that's just a walkthrough. So he's expecting to play. But if for some reason, you know, he's not, then start the safer Sproles health-wise. Jason in New York City. New York City?

There you go. I was waiting for it. Pretty simple. Do you think that strength of schedule is a valuable tool? He needs expert advice before he makes trades for players because they have a strong schedule in the fantasy playoffs. Yeah, so talk about that. This will be our kind of wrap it up question here. Strength of schedule. Do you start to pay attention to that now when you trade for guys? Because you have a, you know, you're 5 and 0, you're 4 and 1. You think you're going to be in the playoffs. But, you know, your guys have really tough.

appearances in terms of the strength of schedule. 100% you use it. I have not offered a trade or considered making a trade at this point in this last week without at least looking at the schedule. That's not to say you overreact and you go, oh, this guy's got a bad matchup in week 13 so I can't have him. But I couldn't imagine making a trade without doing the research of what's this guy's schedule look like versus another guy.

half of the years is almost gone, fantasy-wise. And so if you just look at two average players and one of them has a good schedule coming up, who's had a bad one, that's really valuable information. I know you, Andy, you have always known. Every time I've ever seen you make a trade, you actually know who, not only the matchup in the NFL, but also the matchup of your opponents. And a lot of times you'll...

You'll make trades with guys that you know, oh, I'm playing this guy in week seven, and he's going from his team to my team. You look at those things. They're just unfair advantages that you utilize. I agree. I've started to look at playoff schedules when I'm looking at a target. But you've got to understand against the defense. Things can change so quickly, which is why we try not to overreact to the opening schedule of.

when you're drafting a player like, oh, he's got a terrible schedule. Yeah, well, then Bobby Wagner gets hurt and all of a sudden a notoriously tough run defense. Jonathan Stewart puts up almost 100 yards and two touchdowns. Like one player injured changes an entire defense, so it's hard to make that your be-all end all for something that's happening in eight weeks or so. But I do start looking at that and using it as a...

an influencer. Sure. One more quick one. Jai wants to know. Thoughts on dropping Carlos Williams for Kristen Michael? Yeah, I think you can do it. I'll say that if you have Lashon McCoy and I don't know. If I had McCoy, I wouldn't do it. I probably would not do it. But we have no idea what Michael's going to do. And I say that as the ultimate Michael Truther. But.

If he's given the opportunity and he succeeds, this is a league winning move. If all of a sudden you get a running back one off of the waiver wire, your team has a huge advantage. You look through past history. I only have recent in my head, but O'Dell Beckham Jr. If you picked Odo Beckham Jr. up for free in week six, your chance of being in... He was the most owned player. In championship weeks. Because you got a free top five guy. If you get a free running back one,

You got to go for it. Yeah, I completely agree with what you're saying there. That is it for today's show. We want to thank you for joining the fantasy footballers today. We did a marathon today. I know. It was a little longer. We have a waiver wire show tomorrow. We'll be reviewing the Monday night football game and all that transpires this evening.

The spray tan reward is coming on Jointhefoot.com. We will be. And there's nothing you can do to stop it. We will be bronze beauties. Are we getting the...

Are we getting the like bodybuilder bronzing? Yeah, where they, were they accents and they highlight muscles. Yeah, I want painted on. I want them. See, if I could do the bronzing for one show, that would be. The problem is it sticks for like three weeks. Oh, those bodybuilders, I don't think they stick for three weeks. Oh, no, not the, not the way. That's because they have real muscles. That usually sticks around.

I'd like some, can I just get a spray muscles as well? Can you spray those on? You have to, you could just wear like the muscle body suit from a rest of development. I'll work on that before the spray tan. $3,000 suit, come on. All right, that's it for the show. We'll see you tomorrow, guys. Take care. Goodbye.
