Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 16 Waivers & QB Streamers, Bad Beats

at the beginning of the year. And this is why we say you don't win championships at the draft. Nope. You set the foundation and then you got to adjust. It's a year-long fun event. Fantasy football. Build a skyscraper. So you're putting on the lightning rod right now. Mm-hmm. Okay. For the record, my streaming quarterback is also Nick Ful's. I'm cheating this week. There aren't a lot of good streaming options. I love Nick Ful's, so I'm going to double down with him. And, uh,

He's only 27% owned, so he should be available. So I'll just say this. If we can do the double down, then I'm going to shift. I would rather portals than falls. So you guys are double portals and I'm false. There you go. Both good options. Okay. By the way, I think it might be worth it at this point to kind of lay out the playoff picture as well, because that might make a decision on who you're starting on certain teams, who has something to play for. Right now in the AFC.

The teams that have clinched are the Patriots, the Steelers, the Jaguars. The Jaguars are still playing for the potential of seating. The Chiefs right now are in, the Titans are in, and the Bills are in. That's bananas. The teams that are currently out but still have a chance. Are Baltimore playing for something? The Chargers are playing for something. The Raiders still have a minuscule shot at 6 and 8, as do the Dolphins, not entirely dead, but both of those teams are pretty close. But they'll still be playing because...

I mean, you're playing for the opportunity for all the situations to go your way, similar to what Green Bay would have been like had Atlanta lost last night. In the NFC, the Eagles, Vikings, Rams, Saints, Panthers, they're all in right now. The Falcons are currently in. The three teams that are out that still have a chance, the Seahawks, the lions, and the Cowboys, okay? All three of those teams are eight and six.

They can all make the playoffs. But they're all out right now, and it's all going to be at the expense of Atlanta or Carolina if they were to lose out. So those are the teams that have something on the line right now. The Eagles are 12 and 2. The Vikings are 11 and 3. So if the Eagles lose, the Vikings win, there's a chance for them to grab that number one seat and home field throughout the playoffs, including the Super Bowl. So those things, you know, motivation matters. I mean, look at Cincinnati. Look at AJ Green last week. It does matter. Wow.

I'm looking at this line. So I know how important. You're bringing up these games and the importance. So the Seattle Seahawks, a perennial Super Bowl contender, an absolute lock for the playoffs basically every single year. If they lose to Dallas this week, they're out. Yes. I mean, it's not like, oh, this is a must win. No, this is a must win, period.

But I was shocked to see that Dallas, even though they're home, they're a four and a half point favorite against Seattle. Dallas. Oh, yeah. I guess getting Zeke back moves the needle for Vegas. Yeah, it makes sense to me. I mean, you're at home. I mean, I probably would have back to get around four or five points. Yeah. And Seattle, it's not going well over there. I mean, Billy Wagner supposedly's going to play. He called out, um, do you say Billy Wagner?

Is it Bobby? Did I say Billy? Is it Billy Wagner a pitcher? He is. He was a former closer. Yeah. Yeah. MLB knowledge. He is not good at stopping the run, though. But yeah, the team's in trouble. The team's in trouble right now. Yes, they are. And Zeke, Zeke is back. That's going to make a big difference. I would definitely side on Dallas on that one.
