The Fantasy Footballers podcast coming to you from Draft.com Studios with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Hi, welcome in. It's just another...

2:33 ↗

Fantasy Footballers podcast, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, Mike, the fantasy hitman, right? Yes. The triple threat of fantasy football, the triple verified threat. That's what they say. So a couple days in, Mike, you're still verified, I assume. As far as I know. How does it feel? How's life changed for you? Are you a different man? Is this like...

2:57 ↗

Have you reached a pinnacle of success now that you feel comfortable? My children have never been prouder. Really? They're the father. Yeah, that's why I did it. That's what it was about. They're very active on. It was for my family. Very active on Twitter, your children, right? I mean, they have. Oh, yeah. Yeah, totally. Oh, man, no more juice boxes. They're like, hey, what? Hashtag sad. They were very confused why dad was so happy on whatever Tuesday morning. You're a little perky.

3:27 ↗

Yep, pepping the step. We have a great show for you today. Quarterback sleepers, streamers, surprises. We're going through the rest of the quarterback rankings continuing from yesterday's show. These are the fun guys to talk about. I look forward to it so much because I said that I know we have a lot of new listeners and we welcome you in to the Foot Clan into Foot Clan headquarters. Hopefully you're checking us out via Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, subscribing.

3:55 ↗

Hopefully you're over at YouTube. We've been posting a lot of new content on YouTube. We're going to be doing live streams that go through YouTube and Facebook Live and Periscope. So you've got to follow us on Twitter. We got content for you. You got a social media you like? We're there. Yeah, we're there. We're taking care of you. So welcome in. But I told these guys at lunch yesterday, like I'm tired sort of of talking about Drew Brees.

4:22 ↗

and the last 10 years of Dubreys because we've done that this offseason a lot. I'm more tired of greatness. It's what it sounds like over there. I know, I already know what you guys are going to say. If you just ask me to do the show by myself and do the voices for all of you guys, I could do the whole argument. But today we talk about the players that for our philosophy in fantasy football are going to be the difference making quarterbacks in your league. These are the ones that we actually won. These are the ones you're going to end up with.

4:52 ↗

Every year, Mike, what stat do you bring forth to the people that want to know about quarterback streaming and late round drafting? The one about how essentially every year over 40 quarterbacks post at least one top 12 week. And reminder for the new listeners and the old listeners, there's not 40 NFL teams. That means that backup quarterbacks are getting it done.

5:17 ↗

in the right matchups because they touch the ball every snap, every quarterback is throwing the ball 20 plus times. It's a replaceable position in fantasy sports, not real sports, but thankfully the three of us don't play in the NFL. Thanks for yourself. Thankfully for them. Thankfully, I'm calling you out, Jalen Ramsey. I'm coming at you. Oh.

5:42 ↗

On the outside. I'll send a nice slow pass. I'll send them your QB tape. No, no. What's your take on Andy Holloway? Sucks. I could be added to the list. Yeah. I mean, everyone sucks. All right. Says Jalen. We'll go through more rankings. We'll each give at least one or two sleepers. And we'll talk more about the streaming philosophy, how you win your league with a streaming quarterback with a late round quarterback.

6:10 ↗

Follow us on Twitter at the FF Ballers. Here's a quick question of the day. Michael in California sent in this one. He says, hey guys, love the show. My league mates gave me a hard time last year for being in two leagues. This year I promised a friend I would join his. So now I'm in three. How many leagues is too many? And do you guys have any thought on how to juggle that many leagues? We've got a jealousy problem here. You can't play in other leagues. Only my league.

6:40 ↗

Yeah, I felt that way as a commissioner of our main league before when I knew that one of our other owners was like in a work league for money and I was like, oh, no, don't have your focus over there. What if you don't respond to my trade offer? Only play in my league. Well, that's because you're a good commissioner. You want the best league you can make. That's right, Mike. Look, the reality is, you know, how many leagues you're in is...

7:03 ↗

completely dependent upon the person. I mean, I hear about these people that are in 15. Do you have a job? Do you have a family? For me, you know, there's three is like my cap of leagues that I can fully devote, care about, think about.

7:20 ↗

Take responsibility for the outcome of. Exactly. You know, I'm always in, you know, I don't know, eight or nine leagues because you got this league over here that you're invited to and this, you know, some of the industry league, stuff like that. But there's three main leagues that I care about that I know my roster at all time. I'm looking at what I need to improve trades, all of that. And the thing is, is I think it's much more fun to be devoted to a few great leagues.

7:49 ↗

than it is to win a championship every year because I'm shotgunning 60 leagues. And it's like, oh, I got two championships out of 60. So for you, three leagues is kind of the right amount of leagues to care about losing to me in. Oh. Oh. That's hard to say because the back-to-back listener league champion is me.

8:17 ↗

So here's my take on this. Azah! Azar! Excelsior! Is three leagues for me as well? It's different strokes for different folks, though. I know fantasy players. You do not count basketball in that environment because obviously you can be in hundreds of those. I have friends in fantasy places and they want to play.

8:41 ↗

double-digit leagues and that's what they can handle. That's what they can manage. You know you have reached your tipping point on Tuesday night. If you're going to do waivers and you get to a league and you go, ugh. Yeah. I'm done. I've set the maximum waivers. I cannot put the mental thought of what are the peak strategies for this league. What do I need to add? What do I need to block from my opponent?

9:08 ↗

Which streaming quarterback am I going to pick up? If you hit that wall, you've hit too many leagues. Yeah, you don't want to be in too many. Oh, but here, huge news. Huge. This is great. Oh, you did want to mention something big. Big. Hold on. I can, I can get some gophery in here. Everybody. Everybody listen up. However many leagues you're in, or however many leagues you think you can handle, add one more.

9:35 ↗

to that number because we are introducing for the first time ever. Is this the official name? Yes. Yes. You darn right it is. We didn't even get to vote on this? We were going to vote before the show, but then we started the show, so I have officially named it. The Foot Clan League's Championship Megalabole.

9:58 ↗

Oh my goodness. Every foot clan. Look, we talk about the Foot Clan Leagues.com all the time, right? You want to get in a great league. You want to join either a local league or an online league. Maybe spit all over my screen. This ain't a regular Megalobole. This is a championship megalobole apparently. You're darn right. We can adapt the name. The name is in the works. What is it? Look, we are doing a massive Foot Clan. We want to find out who the best Foot Clan player is. If you think you can beat all the other listeners, prove it. Go to Footclanleagues.com.

10:28 ↗

For all the official footclan, everybody can enter, it's completely free. There are several 96 team leagues. It's just a normal 12, all the details are there. It'll be a normal 12-man roster, ballers preferred scoring, but it's a huge tournament style. We're at the end of the year, out of hundreds of different Foot Clan players, there will be a champion. And you want to know what that champion gets when they win the Megalabal. What do they get, Jason?

10:55 ↗

They get a 2019 listener league entry. You didn't get in the listener? Not an entry. You got a spot. You get a spot. Yes. If you didn't make it in this year, just prove it.

11:07 ↗

Tell the people where to go and who is eligible to enter this. Yes. So footclanleagues.com, that's a forum that we have made. If you go to our website, go to the forums. That is for our community at join the foot.com. All the supporters of the footclan supporters. You can join leagues there. All you do, go to footclanleagues.com. Click the online.

11:31 ↗

the online leagues, and it's pinned to the top. You can put your information in there, join the league, and it's going to be... Jason has been talking about this for a while. You know what you're doing, Jason. I hope Ray Smith knows what he's doing. The commissioner shout-out extraordinaire who will be managing this. Preseason week two starts tonight. A couple of reminders, some notes about that. Rex Burkhez not going to play tonight. Isaiah Crowell is not going to play tonight.

11:59 ↗

So keep that in mind because tonight is the Eagles Patriots, Jets, and Washington? Yes. My eyes are going to be on Terrell prior. Oh. And what happens with those D.Bs in that secondary and getting in his head? Hopefully he gets to keep playing against those fifth string D.Bs. Here's a hot tip for fantasy owners. Cancel any pending trade offers you have out while the games are happening in case injuries take place. Oh, it's a great tip.

12:24 ↗

It's a great tip. I think Brooks threw that one in there. Nice one, Brooks. Good on you, Brooks. Let's get into quarterbacks. Quarterbacks. All right, quarterback rankings, part two. We're going to walk through our consensus quarterback rankings. This is based on six-point quarterback scoring leagues. If you want to see our rankings for standard scoring leagues, so that would be like a four-point per passing touchdown league. You can check out the website, the fantasy footballers.com. If you want to know our 1 through 10.
