To the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in Thursday, January 7th. The fantasy footballers back with you. Mike Wright, Jason Moore. I'm Andy Holloway.

And we have a very prestigious episode of the podcast for you today. The prestigious. It is elegant, dignified. It is respected by all. It is coveted by players from what we understand. It knows how to set a table.

with the silverware in the proper spots. That is the level. If you've seen Downton Abbey, this show will be very similar to that. Very. I've never seen it. Also, that show, that show forever was downtown Abby. For you? You know when I learned it was Downton Abbey? When you fools started watching it, I was like, yeah. You guys are mispronouncing downtown Abbey.

Oh, welcome in, everybody. You can find us on YouTube if you want to watch this episode because I'm going to be showing off my hardware on this show today. YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers. And we've got Twitter at the FFBallers, Instagram.com slash fantasy footballers. I've got a trophy. I've got to display. That's what I've got going on. Yeah, you too. Let's get right to it. Taking it up to 100.

Presented by Head and Shoulders, available at Walmart. I just want to conclude this season with a little bit of a, if you're watching on YouTube, I am holding up a trophy. That is my. It is my trophy. It is my trophy. You get all the swag. It is my trophy. Andy won the contest to take it up to 100 contest. I got off to a strong start, but then.

But then I had five misses in a row. My apologies. Look, it's tough. It's tough to find someone who's going to take it up to 100 when you're not just taking the top guys. And so I actually had to go on a little bit of a run at the end of the year to catch Mike. And then I do have a golden trophy. It might as well be Sterling. I mean, Sterling Shepherd took care of business in week 17, took it up to 100 against the Cowboys with 10 targets for 8.

uh, receptions, 112 yards, a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown. And, uh, now I got a trophy. And it's great. Todd Johnson was about to. Yeah. Ridiculous. He didn't. So, no, he did not. We do have another taking it up to 100 segment next week. And no, we're not predicting. We're not predicting playoff players taking it up to 100. In fact, we're doing something far more exciting that I'm looking forward to. Uh, we want to know.

a time when your fantasy team took it up to 100 this year, because we're going to read some of those stories. They are always very, very exciting to find out that those last second victories, defeats, whatever the case it may be, defeats for your opponent, that is, like Josh Stallion and Mr. Stefan Digstack on Monday night. Week 16, just, oh man, just trouncing on your opponent that was already bragging they won.

And here's how you enter to get your story read next week on this segment. Post your story on Twitter and tag us, which is at the FF Ballers, and tag head and shoulders at head shoulders, and then use the hashtag, take it to 100. And we will read some of the most exciting taking it up to 100 stories from this entire past fantasy.

football season. So that will be a lot of fun. And a reminder, you can take your hair up to 100 with head and shoulders available at Walmart. You can pick yours up today and check out next Thursday when we share all of those incredible taking it up to 100 stories. I will conclude this part of the show by reminding you once again that I am the champion and you are not, Mr. Mike. And it is, you know, it's not the same as beating you in League of Record. Oh, what is that? Oh, congratulations.

I would love this music so much if it was playing for me. It is very nice. That was wonderful. Well done. Look, at least Sterling Shepard took it to 1,000. And it wasn't just... Wasn't a cheap victory? It wasn't Ty Johnson had almost 70 yards, 70 total yards. He just didn't score because it got pulled on the goal line because Adam Gase hates me. That's on you, bro. You put it... You put your week 16 on Adam Gaze. But my point was, like, if Sterling Shepard...

just happened to have 70 yards, but he got the touchdown. And he got a rushing touchdown. That's ridiculous. It was wonderful. All right. Let's do some buy sell. Buy or sell presented by pristine auction. Did I ever, I know we said this show was going to be prestigious and Downton Abbey like and all that. Did I ever even say why? I don't think like.

Like the footy award winners are on today's show. Now, you should know that from Tuesday, but I didn't say it. Or maybe from the title of the episode as you get into your podcast app or on YouTube. But yes, this is the footy winners. And I'm freaking out over here because until we get there, I'm holding all these golden envelopes that are, I mean, they're beautiful. They kind of remind me of slices of cheese, which is delicious. Cheese is beautiful.

And I'm sitting here. I don't know the winners. And I'm very excited. No, we, I don't know them either. And Brooks has delivered golden envelopes to Jason and he will be opening them. Those are probably real gold. Those came from Brooks? Yeah. Well, I would not throw those away. No, yeah, Jason just got rich on accident. Thank you, money, money, money. Well, yeah, only the best for the footies. That's right. Thank you, Brooks has a drop.

It's not hard for him to make. He has a huge block of gold in one of his many rooms. And he can just take shavings off of that and make anything into gold, you know, gold leafed envelope. So it's very simple for him. I doubt it cost him very much. Well, and he's got a Rumpel Stiltskin, you know, on the back, just turning everything into gold. Is that rumple Silskin? Oh, yeah. He wove gold for sure. Oh, okay. Read a fairy tale, bro.

All right. I just needed to be reminded. It's been a while downtown Abbey over you. You're giving me lessons. All right. Week 17. Jason, you went 0 for 3. Oh, fantastic. Mike was 2 for 3. I was 1 for 3. I don't know if I've seen anybody fail completely in week 17 before. So congrats on that. Here's our buy sell for the day. It is a simple question for 2021. Is Austin Eckler a top 12 running back?

Yeah. Go ahead, Jay. Yeah, I'm going to buy. I mean, Austin Echler was a pretty much top 12 running back whenever he was on the field. I think this offense is one that looks to be great. I expect them to add another running back, but it'll be a deathpiece. They paid Austin Echler, and he, you know, he's utilized enough in the passing game that I think that'll bump him up to be a low end RB1. I'm actually a little bit worried. You're going to have a new head coach. They obviously.

grew quickly attached to Kalin Belage while Echler was out. He did deal with the injuries. I do not think he will be a top 12 running back next year. I think he will be valuable for fantasy, but I don't think he's a top 12. I would put him in. Assuming he plays all the games, he would be in the top 12. When you look at what he did, it's not necessarily he's giving you top 12 production every single week, but on the, he's reliable every single week. You know, just a couple games that were.

outside of the top 24. And even then, they didn't really hurt your team. So with that catching ability, and Herbert has already shown, Herbert will go to his guys. He's, he's already figured that part out. It's definitely easy to get up there when you're catching the football. I do wonder if we really drilled down into all the names that you would project in that top 12, if Echler would surpass some of those guys like Antonio Gibson. Cream Hunt.

Yeah, Josh Jacobs, James Robinson. I would take Echler over Gibson and Cream Hunt for sure. Really? Over Gibson? Yes. I would take him over Gibson. Unless, J.D., I'm just looking at the situation of, you know, right now. And I think that Washington is going to resign McKissick. So if McKissick is there, then Antonio Gibson can't hit that three down, you know, catching. What was the number for? So Echler, Echler tied for fifth.

among running backs in receptions. Yeah, he did. And he missed six games. Okay. If McKissick's around Gibson can't do that. I think you're probably doing the right thing for listeners today, Mike, which is, I think Echler doesn't feel like traditional Austin Echler this year because of the injuries and then coming back and sharing some of the work. But you're probably right about his future. So, um...

And you just, you can get there so quickly if you're receiving, you know, tons of, you know, targets. All right. That was by yourself from Pristine Auction. And look, this is a great time to head over to Pristine auction.

So if you ever want to buy any of their, you know, they have hundreds of daily auctions. Speaking of, like right now, uh,

You scoping something, Mike? I am scoping. But I forgot. What player? What player? It's Austin Echler. We're pre-recording. So hopefully one of you won this. But there is an Austin Eccler signed full-size, authentic on-field hydro-dipped Vengeance helmet. Oh, really? That sounds illegal. So whoever won that, congratulations. All right, pristineauction.com, use that code ballers. Let's talk some news. News and notes from around the league.

I'm going to be honest with you guys. I'm going to come clean about something. I've never hydro-dipped anything. Oh, man. You're missing out. I don't even know. I don't even know what that means. I imagine Al Borland does because he's, you know, a man and everything. But I've never hydro-dipped anything. And it sounds like something. I've hydro-dipped my body in the bathtub. Oh, you've hydro-dipped in a bathtub, Mike? Yeah. What, you haven't? Sounds like you just dip in water from my understanding of how words work. Al-Borland, is it a painting technique?

It's, you literally dip a product in, like they suspend the graphic on top of a liquid and then you quickly dip the product and it sticks to it. It's really cool. Check it out. I've seen them do guitars like that. Now I'm just picturing Mike, like getting into a bathtub and coming out. Me? Fully painted, just completely had to toe. That's how I get ready for Burning Man.

Blue Man Group. Yeah, all right. The Brown's head coach, Kevin Stefansky, this is so unfortunate, tested positive for COVID-19, two other coaches and two players. Look, he's not going to be on the sideline for their playoff game. And he's not going to be able to help the team prepare in the same way that someone in person would. Obviously, he's around virtually, but it's not the same. I mean, we've seen that with other coaches this year. And, I mean, for a playoff game.
