Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 5 Matchups, The Daily Dose, TNF Review

Everyone was high on Owen Daniels this year because of Cubiac, Peyton Manning. We haven't seen it yet. I think this could be the week where, you know, if he gets a touchdown, you're good to go. He's cheap. He's 4-9, which is fairly nice. If you're not going to go Gronk, you're going to save a lot of money on Owen Daniels. All right, so thanks again to Chris Meaty from the Fantasy Sports Network. Where can people find you on Twitter, Chris? Yeah, at Chris Meany.

M-E-A-N-E-Y, feel free, guys. Anybody who has a questioner, too, I'll always be around to answer, and hopefully I'll be able to help you out. All right, we'll talk to you next week, Chris. All right, thanks, guys, enjoy the week. All right, let's go ahead and get into the listener mailbag and answer some questions from the Foot Clan. Mailbag. All right. Michael is in Boston. You know what somebody tweeted me? I do. They said, why do you make...

Mike sing the mailbag every time. Why not just record it? Because then I can change it up, man. Yeah. I live on the edge. I live off the cuff. Things come fresh. We are doing it live on the podcast. As O'Reilly. Doing it live. Did you not hear the mailbag Friday? I mean, you can't get that sweet Mailbag Friday action if I pre-dump it. I know.

Get out of here. Don't pre-dump. Because I am a professional performer. Don't pre-dump. All right. Michael in Baltimore. You guys are great. I listen every day. I have Peterson, Ivory, and Marshall on the buy. Well, that's a good roster, though. I'm playing Forsette and Latavius Murray at running back. And Calvin Johnson and Alan Robinson at wide receiver. I need help at my flex position. If Jeffrey plays, it's a no-brainer. But if he's out again, does he play Boobie Dixon or Willie Sneed?

Hmm. Going with Sneed. You got the need for Sneed. Yeah, I was just going to say, I Sneed to have the right player, so I'm going, I'm going Willie Sneed. How did I not see that? I got the need. It's just, the need. Sometimes they're too obvious. And it's right there in front of your face. Yeah, well, now we'll get a nice Photoshop for that one. Boom, boom, boom, bum, bum, all right.

Dylan in Charleston. Hey guys, I have Green, Edelman, Hankerson, Robinson. I need to pick two. What? Green and Edelman. I'm concerned with Green getting Sherman. No. Ooh, the Shermanator. Sherman plays on one side, if you didn't know. Calvin was just fine, and AJ Green is start every week. You guys disagree with me? No, no. When you've got the top, you know, one of the top seven wide receivers,

I don't care about Joe Hayden or Sherman. You just start them every week. Get some moxie. Throw your guy out there. Don't worry. Don't be afraid. Green and Edelman are the place. Tim in San Francisco. Who should I flex? Jeremy Hill against the Seahawks or Doug Martin against the Jaguars. And this is rough. Yeah. I think I'm going Doug Martin. In fact, by I think I'm going Doug Martin. I agree. I'm just checking my rankings. Especially with Jeremy Hill.

Even if it's a miniature question mark, like one of the teeniest ones you can see with the limited description in practice this week. I'm going Dougie. Dougie Smalls. You are going Doug Martin. You got number 10. I've got him 15. And I think I've got Jeremy Hill. I'm 35. I'm going Doug Martin and I don't feel good about it. Maybe you should go trade Jeremy Hill for Doug Martin in our main league. Oh, you think he would take it? I think he would take it. I don't even know. I saw Martin's on his bench last week.

All right. Onion Boy. Onion Boy in New Jersey. I don't know if that's his real name. Rank these players in order of who you would flex. Ronnie Hillman at Oakland. C.G. Anderson at Oakland. G. O'Bernard versus Seattle. Or Mike Evans. Mike Evans. This week, the matchup is a thing of beauty. If he's saying rank them, I would go Mike Evans, C.J. Anderson, G. O'Bernard, Ronnie Hillman. I am counting on Mike Evans for a big week.

This is the one week where I'm not afraid. I don't, I feel like most weeks you're not going to know Evans or V Jax, but this week I'm playing both. I agree with everything that has been said in that segment. All right, and now it's time for Mike apologizes to Jeremy Macklin. Jeremy Macklin. Oh my goodness. He's really going to do it. I owe you nothing. Ah!

I'm going to try to sneak that one in as often as they can. What if he puts up like 10 for 148 again this week? Here's what I will say. Jeremy Macklin. What excuse will you make then? Jeremy Macklin. Give the ball to Travis Kelsey. What, like lateral? Yes. You were telling me this week you're disappointed in Travis Kelsey despite him being the number two tied in. Yeah, at least in our scoring format, he's the number two. And you've...

You still feel kind of bad about it, and that sucks. Let me ask you this. Is the cake not on the ground if Chase Daniel goes in? Wait, what? I'm saying if Alex Smith is...

is taken out and there's an arm that will throw a ball deep. Alex Smith is fine. He had 300 billion yards last week. Oh, that's fine. I'm just saying Alex Smith is the ground, right? No, he is not the ground. In my world, the cake that's sitting on the ground. Jeremy Macklin's the cake and Alex Smith is the dirt. The cake has been delicious for two weeks in a row. That's Macklin. You guys are focusing on a couple. No, no, no, no, no, no. You pull, last week was great.

Last week was great. Are you going the garbage time? Yes. You pulled that cake out of a dumpster. Ridiculous. Jeremy Macklin puts up a giant game. You don't give him credit. Like the yards don't count. I don't give him credit. Oh, that's ridiculous. And yet Vincent Jackson's your boy. You are a hypocrite, my friend. No, we played the button for Vince and Jackson. Who are you? You need to apologize to Vincent Jackson. No, I'm not apologizing to anybody.

It's the apology tour. Well, I need to watch some football. Let's go ahead and watch some football this weekend. We need to watch some top gun. Hey, we got the Twitter blitz is starting here in 20 minutes from when we're done recording this. What? What are you laughing at? The saying that it's in 20 minutes. Well, I mean, it's going to be going. We're going eight straight hours. We're marathon, Twitter, answering your questions. At the FF ballers.

We're doing it for you. So check out jointhefoot.com. The reason we're doing this is it was one of the goals on there, and we reached that goal, and so we are going to go ahead and answer as many questions as possible, get you ready for week five. You can ask us anything, though, okay, when you hear this. You don't have to just ask, you know, a start-stick question. You can ask us, you know, how does Mike keep his beard so moist and supple? You want to ask about meandies? Well, you know. No.

Is the answer no? All right. That's it for today's show. Thanks for listening. We'll be back on Monday. Recapping the games. Obviously, we'll be reflecting on Jeremy Macklin's huge performance over the weekend, which stinks because I'm playing against him. Dolan out of water for Vernon Davis. Yeah, bank on that.
