Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Week 16 Matchups, In-or-Out, Playoff Decisions

I don't know. Hey, guys. Trey Turner from Bowling Green, Kentucky. Help me reach my first playoff championship this year. And had a question in regards to running back. I've got to start two and set one between Jonathan Stewart, Spencer Ware, and Ballal, Powell. Currently, I've got Ware and Stewart starting, but my gut feelings telling me to start, pal. Just let me know what you think. Thanks again. Love the show.

I'm going to give Spencer Ware a hearty handshake, a thankful pat on the back, and I'm going to say, you just rest here on the bench. Yeah, follow your, follow your instincts, my friend. Hey, guys, this is Anna from... Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to start that once you soon. I was letting you do it. Yeah, I agree with you guys. I think the upside of pal is just so great. The checkdowns, the opportunity for him to just be that. I mean...

He didn't score. The garbage man. He didn't score a touchdown last week, and he was like a top five running back. When you get that kind of volume, he doesn't need a touchdown. I really like that. If you have a question, you go to the website, the fancy footballers.com. You can also dial the voicemail hotline, which you just heard at 302-464 TFFB. Here's another voicemail question.

Hey guys, this is Anna from New York City. New York City. New York City. To do your season advice and draft trip. I'm in the finals in both of my league. Nice. I'm playing Elliot and DeMarco Murray in a standard league, but should my flex be Miller, Rawls, or Henry? Thanks for helping me to the finals. And I wanted to say, Mike, I stand by the man bun. Don't let the guys get you down. Oh, yeah. All right. It's a great question. And I have a crazy answer.

I know my answer that I would start in this situation, and mine is going to be not crazy. If you are favored on paper in this game, I am 100% starting Derek Henry, along with DeMarco Murray against Jacksonville. I am 100% doing that. Lamar Miller, the injury, he could be off the field. If you're favored, you cannot afford Lamar Miller limping off the field in the first quarter. Rawls, okay, I'm fine with it. He's more upside than Henry playing.

against a really, really good Rundee in Arizona. I don't want that. I'm going Derek Henry. Last week, he looked great. He has high quality of quantity of carries, no matter how the game script goes in Jacksonville. Jason looks like so, like he's just digesting the words. He's chewing him up. He's trying to figure it out. I'm going Elliot, Murray, Henry. Unless I'm an underdog. If I'm an underdog, I'm going to roll. Either way, I'm going to go with Rawls. Henry was on the field for.

under 26% of the snaps. I know he got the touchdowns, but that's what you're, that's like a Mike Gillisly play and where you're just, you're hoping he gets the touchdowns. That's, for me, I'm going to take Rawls. I know the Cardinals, they do have a pretty solid. He had two touchdowns last week, just so you know. Yeah, I said he got the touchdowns. Oh, okay. I didn't hear the plural. But it, the Arizona has given up some fantasy points to the running back. So I would.

I'm going to go with Rawls. And we're going to, I assume because of the man bunch, he's going to take your advice to start Rawls, but I am actually going with the third of the trifecta. I would start Lamar Miller here, assuming he's not. You're going to take the risk of the guy who, with the ankle? Yeah, yeah, I am. Lamar Miller has played through every injury he's pretty much ever had. He's, I believe, the longest active.

uh, starting running back in the NFL right now for consecutive starts. He'll play. He'll do all right. Cincinnati is the 20th ranked team against running backs. And, and while I said I'd move him down, I also said, I think in most situations, you're still going to start him. And, and this is one of those situations. Uh, that would be my guy. So the, the, the, what we taught you there. Um, and I forget what her name was. Pick your favorite footballer. Yes. And go with them on this pick because we all, we all, we all.
