Fantasy Football 2017 - Fantasy Court + Key Questions for 2017

Oh, gosh, give me that. Wow. What have you done? No, he tricked me there. He tricked me there because he said if he plays 16. So this thing, this has no chance of being paid out. It could be over week one. I was just thinking of this, though. I mean, there are a lot of new listeners to the show.

And a lot of them don't know what in the world we're doing when you hear that. So a water bet, we have a wheel of water that we spin around the office. And basically we make bets all the time. And it has like 20 different ways that you get a cup of water thrown on you. And they're all humiliating. And it's great. And if you want to do it, grab the app. It's completely free. The Wheel of Water app on iTunes or Android. And then send us your videos when you pay out these bets. It's so much fun.

It's even better when it gets cold outside because we get these, we get listeners that have done a bet over the weekend. And then all of a sudden they're trudging in the snow and their friends are giving them hypothermia. It's great. Hypothermia is great. Isn't that right, Brooks? All right. Let's move on here. Let's go to Sully. He says, do you think, do you think Alfred Morris is worth grabbing late to handcuff EZE?

If you missed out on run DMC and someone reached for him. That's a really good question. I want with all my heart to say yes, because my eyes told me in the preseason that Alfred Morris looked really good. He was one of those players. I kept coming in here after the weekend and telling Mike, like, I think Alfred Morris looks really good. It's strange. I expected him to be slow. He looked fast to me, but probably not. He's the handcuff to the handcuff. No, thank you. Yeah, that's the problem.

Alphra Morris was a great story. Sensational rookie year, pretty solid sophomore year, but it's, I think the dream is done of the time of Alphra Morris being a really actual usable fantasy guy. If he got the role, he would be great. Yeah. But he's not going to get the role. He's going to be a five touch a game guy. Not worth drafting. All right. This is a great question because I'm curious your answer, both of you. In a league, this one's from Martin McIlwain.

In a league that has five bonus points for 50 plus yard touchdown runs or receptions, how much does that change the value of home run players like Cooks, Dijax, Devante Parker versus players like Mike Evans or Des Bryant? I think that's a very interesting question because that's a big time bonus. Yeah, but that's a huge touchdown. That's a huge touchdown. That's a huge touchdown. 50 yards. I mean.

No, it's not moving things. I mean, maybe. The only guy like Brandon Cooks would be moved because I've seen. Deshawn Jackson? I was going to say, does Deshawn catch anything under a 50-yard touchdown? Deshawn Jackson, I think Kenny Stills is the type word. That's pretty much all he does is just sneak for those 50-yard bombs. But if you players, if he doesn't give it to you, when he goes off, all that means is he's going to.

go full hand. Usually how those players are. Like if you're playing Deshaun Jackson, you're usually getting a good game or getting not enough to help you. So if you were going to start them anyways, it just bumps them up slightly. But I would not change my draft order other than when I'm at that place where Deshaun Jackson's ADP already is, that might make me go, I'm taking them. All right. Keep two wide receivers on the roster. Chris Hogan, Ted Ginn.

Taylor Gabriel, Adam Thielen, that is an easy one for me. I'm going Ginn and Thielen. Ginn is in for sure on this list. And so Chris Hogan, Taylor, Gabriel, and Adam Thielen. Yeah, who you got, Jay? Man, this is really tough. I mean, all four are very similar. I think I would take Adam Thielen and Tedgin.

Okay. I think I would go Ginn and Hogan. I'm so close between Hogan and Thielen. Look, and I'm with Andy. I like Adam Thielen. I think that there's great potential there, but I buy that there's potential for Hogan. So this is a late round flyer. I'm going to see what Hogan can do. Yeah. Did you see that? Andy is freaking out over here. There was a big old bug on my desk. Oh, what kind of bug? It was a beetle.

Oh. It was a big old beat. I just flicked it to the moon. But when I looked down, when I looked down, I was like, Brooks saw me. I saw your reaction. Oh. I don't want to see things crawling across my keyboard. It's like, I don't know what's happening with Andy. I'm switching off his can. Fantasy. Hey, listen. Listen, we are.
