issues with P. River and what he has done to my teams. I would play him if I had him. And you got to, you know, we say you got to stay water. Yes. Oh, no. Yeah. Stay urine. Stay urine. Yeah.

Inside the episode
111 passagesJust some good old number two jokes. All right. My stream of the week is Jared Goff. I'm just noticing in the studio right now. Can we go to the main camera? Jason is not in the ideal position with Lamar Jackson directly above his head. Like if you're watching on YouTube, like there's a chance like Jason. Oh no. Oh, Al Borland. What are you doing? All right. Jason.
Jason, you have a streaming quarterback situation. Do you want to illuminate? Sure. Jared Goff, who, look, Jared Goff has big games and bad games. He's not a reliable weekend and weekout starters. But Gerger should have a great game this week. I know we talked up Cam Acres. I think he's going to be.
a really good option. You look at the Jets, you go, oh, they stink, and he should be fine. But it is worth noting over the last eight weeks, the Jets are actually top six against running back. Now, part of that is because they're just so dang easy to throw on that you get all your fantasy points that way. Over the last eight weeks, that same stretch, they are number one. As far as the best matchup against quarterbacks, they've given up a top 10.
Fantasy finish for a quarterback in seven straight weeks. So I think Jared Goff is someone you can throw out as a good streaming option. All right. A reminder, mailbag on tomorrow's show. Be on the lookout for some social posts at the FFF Ballers on Twitter or you can submit your questions to the website at any time, the fantasy footballers.com. Let's do a little mail bag. Mailbag. Playoff edition. Brooks in the Trace comma club. Oh, of course. Trace? Yeah.
Quatro? Quadcoma? Yes. He's got his own tequila. All right. Jay in New Jersey, hey guys, this will be belated, but congratulations on 1,000 episodes. Oh, thank you. Thanks. Man, I remember that 1,000 episode. That was back before I lost the mic. It was great. Nita running back in a flex for week 15. Miles Sanders, Cam Acres, Deontay Johnson. Oh, please, please.
You don't play a player that can get benched for dropping a pass over Miles Sanders and Camemakers. Yeah, that one's easy. Richard in Houston, who do I start for Week 15 playoffs? Justin Herbert or Ben Rothlessberger, PPR League. This is Justin Herbert. It's slowed down for Justin Herbert as it had to. Otherwise, he would break football. Yes, it slowed down. But he is the Thursday night matchup.
against the Las Vegas Raiders. Yeah, I mean, he's a better option. Yeah. Now, what about how are you feeling as a Keenan Allen manager? Because seeing him go out with the hamstring, it came back on the field. Yeah, he came, but I mean, he missed a lot of really important time at the end of the game. I know that the charters ended up, you know, pulling it out. They got the W. But it was, where is Keenan Allen? And on top of that, no one's talking about it. Like,
Keenan Allen had... Well, because he's still been fine and great and playing a lot. But he missed a bunch of time at the clutch point of the game. And what's going on with Keenan Allen? Is he okay? I think so. He better be. He's turned into a bit of an Iron Man, believe it or not. Yeah, it's ironic. Yeah. It's kind of like how Frank Gore came into his career as this super injury prone guy. You can never rely on Frank Gore. Now he's infinite. And then became indestructible.
Same thing happened with Stafford for a while. Oh, Matt Forte, too. Yeah. Patrick in Tampa, I had James Connor on my IR spot last week, but this week I chose not to move him off IR for the extra roster spot. When this happens, sleeper locks your lineup, but I don't care because I had the buy. The commission is forcing me to drop a player Sunday, and when I refused, he did it for me. Oof. Am I cheating or using the settings to my advantage? You are not cheating.
You are playing the game. I can't. Look, I'm type A. You guys have made the point capital type A. What? You? But you know. How am I as a commissioner? You're laissez-faire. Do I? This is a commit. This is the, this guy is the head of his HOA. There's no question about it. Yes. Because you don't need to micromanage another team that is playing within the constraints of the platform. This is my.
message to you type double capital A commissioners out there. If you're playing the game the way everyone else in the league is allowed to play the game, back off and stop trying to be power hungry. That's the message. Yeah, you're Andy. This commissioner is Aaron. This commissioner certainly starts with the double A. A, Ron. I mean, Al Borland is in a league. Do I have permission to bring this to the light? Sure.
You know, in a league that has some veto control issues. Insane ones. Insane ones where he's had trades that are completely fair, vetoed, and people saying, you trade too much or don't make so many trade offers. We don't like the trades you do. Ridiculous. Do you know how many trades have seemed lopsided in leagues? And then a week or two later?
It's the complete other side and they end up lopsided on that advantage. You can't see the future and you don't know. Let a manager have the freedom to make a mistake or be a genius that you don't presume as a commissioner you know everything. I agree. Let people play the game. This commissioner dropped a player for you. That is insane. That's overstepping your boundaries. And the truth is.
The platform allows that. The rules of the IR spot is that once an ineligible player is in your IR, you're not going to be able to make other transactions until you fix that position. Right. He didn't need to. He didn't break a single rule. I would have done the same thing. I would encourage Foot Clan members to do the same thing. Capitalize and maximize your roster under the platform's rules. It's different if there is a...
platform bug that is being exploited when like when ESPN changed Taysam Hill from a quarterback or from a tight end to a quarterback and if you left him in, they couldn't put him out. That's a bug. That's not how it's supposed to work. This is how the IR position is designed to work. And you are paying the price. You can't move your lineup. If you, if you.
keep them in the IR spot. So you're making a strategic decision. Anyways, we're done. That's how we feel about that. Yes. We want to thank Pristine Auction for supporting the podcast.
