Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Dynasty / Keeper Mailbag, News

unless you're sitting there, well, in all cases, we're valued drafters. And most often getting a quarterback late works out a lot better than grabbing them early, no matter what your league is, unless it's two quarterbacks, in which case, you probably want to go ahead and grab one. Do we have, how many more do we have time for? Probably a couple more. You guys want to do a couple more? 17 more. Yes, please. All right, this one comes in from PA patty cakes. Is this Twitter? Twitter? I, maybe.

Situation a little complicated. He can guarantee one keeper, call him a franchise. Then he must select three more keepers to get place into a lottery where I will randomly get two of the three selected. I love that. The keeper lottery players may all be, may all be the same position, but the position of the franchise player may not be in the keeper lottery. I think I am following you. Here are my options. Lev Bell, Shady McCoy.

Vincent Jackson, A.J. Green. Andre Williams and Rashad Jennings. So we play in a league like this, which this is my favorite way to play. I don't know if anybody out there has ever heard of such. Andre Johnson's in there, too. He didn't put him in the top, but he's in the bottom. Yeah, we play where essentially you've got a pool of guys and you can't fully protect them. One of them goes back. Kind of makes the draft more important because you might lose a stud. So like in this case, if he doesn't...

protect his running back, and he puts his running backs in that little pool. He's got shady and he's got Levy on Bell, but there's, you know, a 33% chance he might lose one of those players, and that means one of those players would be in the draft. So the question is, do you want to protect the running back and make sure you get, say, Levy on Bell, or would you rather because you've, then you're losing the ability to put other guys in, or would you rather hold on to A.J. Green and have a chance of having Levy on Bell and Shady on your team.

So his two setups would be, yeah, keeping Lev Bell or keeping AJ Green as that franchise guy. If he kept Lev Bell, he would have AJ Green, V. Jacks, and Andre Johnson as possibilities. Or if he kept AJ Green, he'd have Lev Bell, Shady, or the Giants running back Rashad Jennings as a possibility. If it's me, I'm going with option two, actually. I'm going with AJ Green as my franchise. Whoa. Because I'm high on Shady.

And I'm not, I'm starting to not worry as much about Rashad Jennings. And so if I ended up with green, shady, and Jennings, I'd be okay. I would hopefully end up with Bell. But kind of a complicated question. Yeah, I hope the listeners follow what we were talking about. You know, it's hard. We tell people keep it concise, but we're answering questions about convoluted leagues and leagues with dynasty players. And so either way, you'll get to see our perspective on, you know, who we like more than another guy. I'm taking, I'm taking Bell.

And I'm going to put the receivers into the lottery. And I'm going to risk, yeah. So I will risk A.J. Green instead of risking Leve-Od Bell. This is how I narrow it down. Okay. I'm really high on Shady, so for me I don't mind ending up with Shady. Originally, I, when I looked at it at first, I thought the same thing as you, Andy. I thought I would hold on to Green, give me a chance of having two stud running backs because I like the running back better.

When I look at worst-case scenario, the worst-case scenario is much better when you hold on to Levy on Bell. I mean, because worst-case scenario is Vincent Jackson, Andre Johnson, and Levy on Bell. I'd rather have that than... You'd rather have two wide-receiver twos? It's the risk mitigation. So you got one running back one, two wide receiver twos, or one wide receiver one, and a guaranteed RB1. And maybe an RB2. No.

You can't say a guaranteed RB1. Absolutely. No, because you can't... He was an RB1 and every one of our lists. No, not in mine. Shady? Yeah. Well, you're stupid, though. Fair enough. JJ Abrams. Last question for us. J.J. Abrams writes in, why do we get... So half the people are writing in... These emails are the funny names and then the Twitter ones we don't have. First thing, loving the show. What are you talking about? These are real people. Just because they have high-profile jobs, you think they can't listen to the fantasy footballers?

I'm sorry. I am insulted. First thing loving the show. Following some solid fantasy chatter helps the stress of managing my new film. Apparently, people are a little fanatically obsessed with Star Wars. I thought the Trekkies were a tough crowd, but now I have people threatened to damage my wookie if I don't make a great movie. Sorry for rambling on. Here's my question. By the way, did you guys see that? What's the video I'm thinking of with?

Cool story, bro. I'm facing on his name. No, I don't know. The guy watching the trailer to the new Star Wars movie. Oh, McConaughey. Yeah, McConaughey, the scene from that movie that I can't remember there. Yeah, there you go look that up. It's really, really funny. People are freaking out over that. You are the worst. Who needs the medicine? Me or you? I'm picking from the tin hole. Des for a first or Alshan for a fourth. Easy.

Hold on. You got to read the end of it, man. JJ out. Lens flare. All caps. Lens flare. I, you know, like you said earlier, Andy, we are a value. Everything is about value. And Alshan in the fourth is so much better value than does in the first because they're going to finish close to each other. You give me three extra rounds and give me my first. I would definitely take Alshan on the fourth. We are all about value. However, it's not as easy for me because we are also about risk mitigation. And to me,

I don't have doubts on Alshan, but Des, unless an object that displays moving pictures arises, I'm not even going to name it because we've moved past it, then there's nothing wrong with Des Bryant and he will be a monster. I kind of like Des, you're sorry.

I mean, you said easy, but it's not easy for me. Well, here's the thing. I know for sure, based on film history, that JJ Abrams is a very smart man. And so JJ, uh, take Al-Shan and enjoy having a first round pick with Al-Shan Jeffrey. All right. The value, I got to go with Al-Shan, so I can get a running back in the first. All right. If you have more questions, you can tweet us at the FF Ballers. You can email us. I don't think you give the email address at the beginning of the show. Mail at the F.

Ooh, I must mess it up. The Fantasy Footballers.com. Let's go ahead and do our review of the week. Reviewosaurus rags. Don't be so sad when you're going to talk about their... This is excellent stuff. Well, Mike, why don't you go ahead and read that for us? Hold on. Hold on. Oh, are you kidding? I hadn't seen it. This one comes in from the Pastor W. Five star. Five star review. Yeah, well, we're not going to read it if it's a two-star review.

That's just the facts of life, people. The Pasha W says, dudes? Dudes. Great show. Great info. Great entertainment. Great value. Free. We're free. Our show's free. That is infinitely great value. Speaking of free, if you go to audible trial.com slash the fantasy footballers, you can get a free audiobook and help out the show. Do it.

Boom. All right, that's it for today's show. We're going to be doing a mock draft episode. I know we keep teasing it, but we are going to do it. We're also going to be doing a little bit of a rookie preview going into probably next, I'm not sure when we'll do it. One of the next two episodes will do that and get you ready for the NFL draft so you can be bubbling over with anticipation at which of these guys you'll want, which is their best landing spot. Get ready for that. And some of you, I've seen a lot of these dynasty leagues have already done rookie drafts.

A few of them at least. That's crazy. And so then they make the picks and then, oh, where are they going to land? I thought that was crazy, too. Yeah, that can be fun for mocking, but that's just stupid. Because if you're actually, I'm sorry, but if you're in one of the leagues that's doing this, and I love you, thank you for listening to this show. But your team is dependent on what you just did in the draft and you have no idea what you're doing. You can't know where guys are going. And so you're going to play the entire year.

And just so that you could have fun doing a draft before the actual NFL draft, it's just stupid. You just, you're all, you know, stop listening to this show. Just stop. I'm out of here. What is happening right now? I think he just quit. Walking off. I'm out of here. I don't know. You should follow three. We're not going to have a good review to read next week. They're all going to say that. I'm sorry, baby. I'm so sorry. I love you. That Jason guy. I got a, I got a.

Looking like Courtney Cox. Get him off the show. All right. Oh, speaking of looks. Look for YouTube. Our new YouTube channel coming soon. Broadcasting live. Yeah, we will be putting up video podcasts and a YouTube channel because we want to overwhelm you. Bombard your senses. All right. Stay tuned for Thursday's show. Thanks for listening today. We are the fantasy footballers and we'll see you next time. Goodbye.
