Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 3 Review, Studs and Duds, MNF Preview, Fantasy News

group based on the news tonight. So you can tweet at us and do hashtag Starks, hashtag Lacey. And I'm just curious how many of you are starting Starks over Lacey or whether it's everybody's just going to jump in with the name. And what you need to do, if you have that situation, you need to follow news up to game time. Do not set your line up in the morning and then forget about it. You need to monitor it. If you are down, here's an example, if you are down by five points in your matchup,

Would you start Starks over Lacey? No. You would not. No. Now, Starks has more guarantee to have value to me, because Lacey could go out on the first play. Lacey could not pull an ivory. If Lacey plays, and as the starter, Starks still has value. Exactly. He's not a guy that when Lacey plays, you don't see Starks on the field. He gets his drives every now and then, and I would expect there to be more Starks than there usually is if Lacey's playing.

And then, of course, you've got the upside of Lacey goes down, Lacey gets injured, Lacey pulls a freaking Chris Ivory. I'm sorry, I'm really upset. You're upset, but I played nobody ivory against you. Well, I played ivory in another league. Oh, yeah. Well, any other thoughts on tonight's game? Alex Smith is Jason's stream of the week. So if you follow Jason's advice, you don't have another option now.

Because Aaron Rogers is not on your waiver wire. He's in two of my leagues, and I will be honest, I'm worried about it. It is a risky play. Oh, now you're worried? No, I was worried beforehand. I just, when I look back at the stats and how he's performed in Green Bay, how he's got the weapons that match up well against Green Bay, how Vegas has the highest point spread in that game. There's just a lot of arrows saying that he could have over 200 yards and two touchdowns. That's what I'm hoping for. I selfishly need...

Travis, Zeus, Kelsey to catch four touchdowns tonight. Let's just make that happen. All right. To answer them all, Charles, do nothing. Let's answer some listener questions. Mailbag. All right, it's mailbag time. If you have your own question for us, go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com, click on the submit a question button. It is easy. It's so easy. Seriously. Yeah. All right.

You can also call us on our voicemail line 302464 TFFB. Let's go ahead and do a voicemail question right now. And do not drop Jeremy. I don't think that's what he was actually saying. Well, that was, so it was, apologize. That was very difficult to hear. But he was, he's asking what to do with Jeremy Hill. And I assume he means, if you have Jeremy and Gio, who are you starting? Dude. I think at this point, you have to start Gio and this coming week.

This coming week, they play Kansas City, which I think is a better geo matchup. Sorry, bro. And then they play the Seahawks after that. Tom in Bronx. Don't worry about it. Actually, that just says that Jeremy Hill might not. He's a by low in week six. Yes. He might be a sell right now and a buy low in a couple weeks. Tom in Bronx, New York. Since Big Ben is down, he needs a quarterback. Vic, Fitzpatrick.

Bridgewater, Carr, Foles, Cousins, Marriota. And it's not Mario to me. This is matchups. I don't know. Yep. I haven't broken down the matchups for week four yet. But just face value of this list, it's either Derek Carr or Mariotta to me. Yeah, those were the two guys that I was looking at as well. Derek Carr, we know, plays the Bears next week. And Mariotta is going to be. Wow. Do they have a bye? Wow.

Oh, are the Titans already on by? I don't know. I'm looking. Wow, thanks. You are welcome. Good commentary. So, Derek Carr is the answer? Joey has this question. I've had Martavis Bryant stashed on my bench since the draft. Assuming Big Ben is out at least four weeks, is he worth holding on to? He's not worth dropping. Right. But it hurts. I mean, for an expectation for Martavis' season to be what it was before the suspension, to be where it is now, where you kind of come back to Michael Vick,

Yeah, I mean, I would try to trade him if you could get good value from him. Otherwise, I'm just holding him and just waiting for fantasy playoffs and for him to be kind of a surprise, good play for you. I'm trying to remember the – who's the older guy, the backup quarterback, who's played for Big Ben in the past? Yeah, his name's – It's escaping my brain at the moment. Yeah, me too. Well, but my point is that we don't know – we don't know what –

Michael Vick is going to do, right? I mean, he could come in and he could actually be okay. He really could be okay. I'm expecting him to be okay. I'm not expecting him to be Big Ben. You have to imagine that he did not get, I mean, he's never going to get a first team rep in practice with Big Ben there. So he came in very unprepared to be playing.

is my thinking. So a week of practice is going to help him, and he'll be decent. Also, to verify, the Titans are on biweek, so please do not do Marriota next week, because you'll get zero points. So it's early, early by weeks. Early by and same. So next week, little early, New England and Tennessee Titans. Yeah. So no Patriots. Yeah, well, we'll have to talk about Antonio Andrews, too, because he's going to be a hot name on waivers, but he's on by. So, uh,

curious how that... There goes my strategy with my sweet running backs. Yeah, I know. Drew in Allen, Texas said he owns Keenan Allen and Allen Robinson, and every single week he plays the wrong one. Yeah. Which is the right player to start going forward? I wish I could tell you. It's not going to be one guy probably going forward. I'd probably start Keenan if I had to just straight up choose rest of season, but...

They're going to alternate good weeks probably. You're going to have to play the matchups and get lucky a little bit. Yep, it's going to be matchup dependent. And that's another one of those deals where if you've got those guys where you're getting it wrong, try to take one of them and someone else and package and go get somebody that you know you can start week in, week out. I feel like Keenan Allen and Alan Robinson are both in this tier.

You just, you have to put them in your starting lineup and you have to live with it. You know you're going to get some bad weeks. Oh. But you're going to get some great weeks as well with both of them. But if you try and pick and choose, then things generally go horribly wrong. That reminds me. Not so close on the upset this week. Oh. I think I went a little too bold for my britches. A little too almost.

Very far from almost. I loved the tweets, though, because it was like 27 to 3, like real quick or something, and they were all like, still hope. Here comes the Bortles. I like that Bortles panned out as an okay streamer, though, with two touchdowns and 242, despite the fact that they got massacred. Very disappointing week from the Jaguars. I expected you to easily be able to go into Foxborough and win that game. You know, the Jaguars, they were down. Jaguars. Jaguars were down several defensive players, and through that game, I believe they lost.

Three more to injury. And three others just left because they were sick of it. They were just disappointed. But the point is that their defense is completely demolished right now. They weren't the greatest to start, but injuries have destroyed them. So that might be something to look for for streaming defense the following week or...

you know, wide receivers going up against it. Good call. All right. On tomorrow's show, we will have our Monday night football review. We will focus on the waiver, Marshall Falk. Hall of Fame or Marshall Falk will be on the show. We'll be talking fantasy football. What we saw over week two, one, two, and three, which teams he thinks are going to continue to ascend and which ones maybe not so much. And so we will have a good conversation with him. Very excited to have him on the show. So stay tuned for that tomorrow. Make sure you check out.
