Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Dynasty / Keeper Mailbag, News

Oh, non-PPR? Non-PPR. Yeah, I still take Landry and the fifth. Floyd hasn't done it. Yeah, and doesn't have a great future outlook. The future outlook is bright for Landry. Do you disagree for some reason? Just the Landry's value is really rooted in getting a PPR scoring format. I agree, but in a Dynasty League, let's say there's only two guys left in the draft and it's those two guys, which one would you pick? You clearly pick Landry, right? In a Dynasty League?

I'm going to answer for you. No, I mean, it's not a slam dunk for me because of the non-PPR. I don't know if Jarvis can turn into Antonio Brown or if he's just going to be... Is it close for you? It's... Let Tanahill split the difference for you. Well, I was going to say let the pick, right? Landry comes with one pick earlier in the draft. Yeah, and if it's close, let that make Tanahill. I like Tanahill. I think he's getting better and they're going to lock him up in Arizona.

doesn't have an option. I just believe in Bruce Ariens that he will find someone and bring someone in. So because we like hypotheticals. If you knew the long-term quarterback situation was the same, would you go Michael Floyd? As in what the track is on right now? Is that what you mean? No, if you just knew that they were both 10 years, they're going to have 10-year careers with good quarterbacks, both of them. Who do you take? Floyd. Okay. All right. Well, you're also losing a pick. You're going to be a little bit farther back. Well, you're just going one spot down. Yeah. So, I mean.

He says he's rebuilding, though. And when you're rebuilding and you don't know that quarterback situation, that's where I would lean. Yeah, but you're going to get someone great at five or six in this draft. Yeah. So this next one comes in from another guest, Bruce Springsteen. We're getting, dude, man. We've been asking for this. My RB keeper options are brutal and make me want to dance in the dark. Great. I know what's coming now.

Not sure any of these guys have glory days coming up. We've got some movie titles in here. Mm-hmm. Let me know point blank if any clowns were born to run or if I should drive my pink catalog into the... We can't encourage this, can we? Yes, I think we just did. We certainly can encourage this. This takes creativity. I didn't even know what the question is yet. Well, here's the thing. Bruce Springsteing has wrote into our show. Yeah, and that's what matters. You're disrespecting the boss. I'm so sorry.

He needs an answer. You apologize to Mr. Boss. Now I'm trying to dissect the rest of this question. Trey Mason, the Crow. So. Pick you up there, Mike. The terrifying Tampa Trio. Wait, what is the actual question? He won't? I think he wants. The RV options are brutal. No penalties for keepers. He also says Jason's my favorite footballer because he reminds me of a young Courtney Cox from my music video. Thank you, Bruce.

Thank you. That's the worst compliment I've ever had in my life. That's true, though. You have the same haircut. Well, his options are brutal. Does he only get one keeper? I don't understand it. Well, let's just order them then, because then if he's got two. So he needs, he needs these order. Trey Mason, uh, Isaiah Crowell, and somebody from Tampa. Martin Sims, Rainey. I think it goes in that order. I think it goes, Trey Mason, the Crowe, and then.

I don't know. Do we need to order the Tampa guys? It's time for... Martinson's rainy. It's time for the DayQuil to put Doug Martin at the top of the list. No. What? No, I'm just kidding. Oh, all right. No. But Crowell is first from me. I'm going Crowell, then Mason, then the terrifying Tampa Trio. I'd much rather have Mason who's got a role than Crow who... Crowell has a role too.

Yeah. I feel like. Trey Mason's role like Zach Stacey had a role. The Isaiah Crowell thing is something we're going to have to soften on if we see him start to take over in preseason. And it's not that he, we just think that Terrence West will be the leader of the timeshare. I'd still like Crowell. He's going to be a good serviceable player. But Trey Mason, I don't... Wait, you're saying that you think Terrence West is going to lead the timeshare? Correct. And you, and yet you're still picking...

Because I don't know who Trey Mason is. He's running back for this. Yeah, but he's awful on the road. He's in the NFC West playing against top rushing defenses for six games of the year. And we saw what happened with Zach Stacey. Fisher said, you were okay, but I got somebody new. What's to stop him from doing it again? I don't know. He's Fisher's guy. He was drafted by Fisher. Yeah, that's the big difference. And he's performed.

He kind of performed. I'm with Jason. I go Mason and then Crowell and then... Take the Crow. Your favorite. All right. At J. Golan 1 says Martavis Bryant or 1-10. So the 10th pick of the first round. Oh, I'm so glad this question comes in because I'm lost. We need to redeem. I need to redeem a question from last week. Okay. So what's your answer? Uh...

I'm going to assume on this. This is a tough one because you don't know how many guys are kept. Well, we don't know anything. It just says Martavis Bryant or 110. And I'm going to assume that this is a... Who's Martavis Bryant? You're talking about that Hepcat Marty McBride? Yes, Marty McBee. Yeah, so I assume that this is a dynasty question. I have to imagine it is. Because otherwise I don't think it makes a lot of sense. So rookie draft?

Yeah, yeah, just a rookie draft. And if this is a rookie draft, I would have, I'd rather have Martavis Bryant, and I need to go back to, we... Back to the future? Oh! But last week... I got, I got more. Last week, I think there was a question of whether or not Martavis Bryant for two picks in the second round, and that was, I believe, a dynasty question. I was answering that kind of like a keeper question. I'd much rather have the two picks. But if it's a rookie draft, then I would...

I feel like who you're going to be drafting there is, is a, you know, a crap shot at trying to get Martavis Bryant. So I like Martavis Bryant. If you're in a Dynasty League, he's a perfect player to have on your roster, young stud, wide receiver. Give me Bryant. Yeah. Or give me death. Three-way, tie. I'll give you Brian. At A. Moffat 91. Similar question. Jimmy Graham or the fourth pick of the first round? And we'll assume the same thing, rookie draft. This one's a little more interesting.

Depending on who you're going to get there at fourth. Dynasty League, I might take the fourth pick, personally. I'm taking the fourth pick, yeah. I'm really close on this one, just because, I don't know, I feel like there's... Jimmy's got a big name. So who are your first four picks, rookie draft? You got Amari Cooper, probably number one. Well, Cooper... It depends if you're drafting before or after the draft. Well, and it depends on your team what your needs are, but Gurley...

Gurley Gordon Cooper, then... White? Yeah, white. Wide receivers are going to be the premium position in a dynasty league, especially in the rookie draft. So, I don't know. I mean, I feel like if this was a top two, I would go top two, but at the four, I think I... You're sticking Jimmy? I think I'm sticking Jimmy. I got to say I'm sticking Jimmy, right? I can't just give you a wishy wash. I'm going Jimmy Graham here, guys, all the way. I'm taking the pick.

That makes sense. He likes Jimmy more than Kelsey. That sounds like something he would say. At the Unies, 86, need help. Give up Alshan and the eighth pick for Megatron? I don't have a second round pick, 16-team league. In that case, I say don't do it. Yeah, do no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Yeah, I've got him like two spots behind the Megatron. Yeah, I mean, you think that I'm super down on Megatron. Plus you don't have a second round pick. You need that pick. Yeah. Use it up. 16 team league too. Don't do it the Unis. New. Adam Venetary wrote in. I know that guy. Yeah, he's like 65 kicker.

What is your position on... Oh, this is good for Jason. What is your position on kickers in fantasy football? I'm good enough to win Super Bowls, yet I feel no respect from the fake football community. Not cool. Hashtag the lonely kicker. Adam? I'm so sorry. Adam, I love you as a real football player, but as a leader in the fantasy football community, I have to say that I believe the kicker position is dead.

in my heart. The kicker should go the way of the dodo and should be retired. I know we want to keep close to the real football and honor the real positions that score in the real games. But I don't like my games being decided by my last pick in the draft.

Kickers should just be, here's what you do in your fantasy leagues, everybody. And most people are going to disagree with me here, but I'm pretty passionate about this. Here's what you do. You take your kickers and you say they make a field goal, they get a point. They miss a field goal, they get zero. That's it. Done. And extra points for one as well? No, you don't get nothing for an extra point. Oh. I'm just saying, it's just... So that's like killing off most of the dodos, but leaving like a couple in a community somewhere to...

For the people who demand their, I want my fake football as close to real football as possible, I bring you Exhibit A. And Exhibit A is Tim Tebow. The guy's not good, but he was spectacular for fantasy football. So if you're telling me that I can put Tebow and succeed on my fantasy team, but he's garbage in real life, then it throws all this...

comparisons of fake to reel out the way. You know what I want? I want to start drafting actual GMs and getting scored based on how they draft. Oh, man. Because we want to be like real football. I'm taking Kime. I can't name very many GMs. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not quite as passionate as Jason. I just think that you need to make sure your scoring doesn't exaggerate the kicker position. So he's, you know.

like you said. It's more luck infused than any other position. Andy, you and I were in a touchdown only league, right? Except it was touchdown only except the kicker position also scored for extra points of field goals. So they were pretty much the dominant player in the league. Why were we in that league? I don't know. That was dumb. It was weird. Who won that league? I forgot you were in it and you won it. You win.

Too much. JD says this. He wrote in via email. He says he found us this offseason loves the show. Actually, he said he really enjoys the show. He didn't say he loved it. And he called his gentleman. He didn't use the D word. Oh. Dudes. Dudes.

I suppose that could be taken as many other things. Like DayQuil, D for DayQuil. I am running a Keeper League. He's in the second year where we can keep three players with no round penalty. Similar to a league we're in. I won last year and I cannot decide who to keep. He won like me. That sounds familiar. Yeah, maybe you need to answer this then. We are a 10-team PPR League where QB gets six points for TD, loved my team, and just need some help.

So he can keep three players with no round penalty. So he has a, you guys can see his board here, Calvin Johnson, Peyton Manning. It's an impressive board. Rob Grunk, yeah, we can see what he won. Rob Grancowski, DeAndre Hopkins, Emmanuel Sanders, Mike Evans, Jeremy Hill, Mike Wallace, Fred Jackson, Jordan, Matthews, Josh Gordon. I don't, he didn't really miss.

I think he just put all of those names in there, not to be like, I'm not deciding between these guys. I just want you guys to know I had them all. Well done. Yeah, good job. Good job, JD. But let's answer his question. So for me, if you have to keep three, you go, this is, for me, I go Jeremy Hill, Rob Gronkowski, and Aryan Foster. For me, I go Jeremy Hill.

Rob Grankowski, and Calvin Johnson. This is just like our other question earlier with the Lacey. I think the difference being the fact that it looks like you, by what he has to play, he's got to start three wide receivers plus a flex. And I just, I don't want to be zero wide receivers in a team that's probably going to be starting four of them. So I'd rather have Calvin there and search late for my one extra running back. Actually, that's a good point.

The fact that it's the three wide receiver starting. Not bad. Mike, what do you say? I go Jeremy Hill, shockingly, Rob Gronkowski, and Calvin Johnson. Yeah, the three wide receiver might tip the scale there. It's interesting, he points out the six points for TD, probably because he wants us to consider Peyton Manning. But if you've listened to our show, you know we're not considering Peyton Manning in this situation. We are proponents of value quarterbacks.
