Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Pump the Brakes, Mid-Season Game, TNF, News, Mailbag

I could not disagree. And Jason could not disagree more. So much, so much that he just, he threw this bed. Yeah. This is the bet I made. It was a one-sided only one payout. I said if, which you never do. No. If, if you are correct that the Chicago Bears end up being a good deed this week, like for fantasy wise and they put up points and there, you know, in the top eight or nine Ds, he gets to pick what I eat for lunch all next week.

I can only root for the Bears at this point. Yeah, because it's not happening. Look, Aaron Rogers at home, chip on the shoulder, I still believe I'm not off of him. I realize he hasn't been playing great, and there's all these stats about the second half not throwing touchdowns. Part of that is because he's thrown like four touchdowns in the first half of some of these games. He's okay. The Bears do not scare me. They're at home again at Lambo. I agree with Vegas here on this that Green Bay is going to.

going to go ahead and easily win this game. I. Oh, no. Andy's almost upset of the week. Wow, I stand alone in this place. I am not going to, I'm making a stand. I'm not going to project and put the narrative of the bounce backpackers onto any more games. I'm not doing it.

And if this is, look, if, if proving me wrong is what Aaron Rogers needs, then he can prove me wrong. I think this is, I think there's a chance Chicago wins the game. So Fookland, wow, the entire time that drop is playing, you need to picture me as Jack Nicholson in that gift where he's nodding his head and has the sinister smile and it's zooming in. That was me the whole time. I posted that when David Johnson had a 58 yard run in the first quarter. That was really nice. All right. We need to move on. Let's jump in.

Mailbag. Mail bag. Yeah. All right. This question comes in from Andy in Toronto. Bonjour. So Canadian me up there. In an eight or ten team league where the likes of Andy Dalton, Matthew Stafford, and Marcus Mariotta can be had in the free agent pool. Is Big Ben worth stashing it all? No. Nope. I agree. Definitely not. All right. Lamar Miller question from Michael in Conway, Arkansas. He says, I own David Johnson Lev Bell and Lamar Miller. Well done.

Yeah, tip of the cap to you. Is it okay to flex Miller this week versus Denver? I like his volume a lot, but Brock Osweiler has been pretty bad. Will Denver just shut down Miller on a strict game plan effort? I don't know what your other options are, but... The volume says, temper your expectations. Yeah. I probably roll them out there. As a Lamar Miller truther, if you have...

A better option. I'm okay going to it. I'm just thinking of the Vikings game where Lamar Miller got eight carries because it was just so bad. They got game scripted out and they got decimated. I agree with everything. Both of you were saying he's an okay flex. My expectations aren't high for him either and I'm madly in love with Lamar Miller.

I neglected to say at the beginning of the mailbag segment, but if you have a question for the show, you can go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com, click the submit a question button in the upper right hand corner. And we'll try to get to those on the show. We also answer questions exclusively on an extra episode every week at Jointhefoot.com. So that's another chance to get your questions answered as well. Rob and Marilyn wants to know in a PBR League, which running back do you want rest of the season? Terrence West or Jordan Howard. Oh, that's a great question. That is very good. Yeah.

Man, because both of them have... Oh, he also says, thank you. I love the show, and I actually do recommend it to other guys in his league. Well, done, Rob. That's a man secure with his fantasy knowledge. That's right. All right. Man, this is really tough. I'm going to take what I think is the better offense because I see both situations very, very similar. The backup has played their way. I'm curious who you think the better offense is. Yeah, me too. I think the better offense is the Baltimore Ravens.

through the course of the season, and I'm taking Terrence West. I still lean Jordan Howard here. Okay. It's PPR. I know for sure that Howard is going to be involved in the passing year where Terrence West, he showed some passing chops. Yeah, that's tough. That's tough. I'm just trying to put this. I have Jordan Howard in our league of record. If somebody offered me Terrence West right now, would you take it. I don't, I don't think I would. There's that back of your mind variable with Howard and Langford and Kerry.

That comes into play there. I'm not as worried about Dixon or Givorius Allen on the Baltimore side. Yeah, I think I go Howard. I think I go Howard because of the unknown greatness of Howard potentially. Yeah. Yeah, you know. Absolutely. I get that. It's very close. All right. Here's a question from Matt in Milwaukee. Would you trade Edelman away for Des in a half-point PPR league? Ooh. Edelman? I say no. I would not do that.

You still believe? I believe in Edelman, and I've never, I have not seen Des put up a fantasy relevant week with Dak ever. Really? Really? He had one strong week. Yeah, he was great. He had one decent week. The week he scored, I imagine. I don't think he scored that week. Really? Maybe he did, but he had a great week. I will look this up. He had, okay, so he had seven for 102. Yeah, seven for one and then he had one for eight and three for 40. With a touchdown. I will say, Dak is just saying, I don't know if the elite potential is there with that.

Dack is improving, and he's getting the ball down field. So would you do it? Just to answer the question. This might be a cop-out, but it depends on my situation because Des is clearly on the by week this week. Your situation is you need either to choose between Edelman or Des rest of the season. I'm going to go, Edelman. Half-point PPR, Edelman or Des rest of the season. I am as well taking Edelman because of the injury. Are you worried about it? Yes.

percentage chance that he does not break out of this funk. 20%. It's still low. I'd say 20, 30%. I still believe, but as the person who drafted him early has been sitting on this entire time, and now we've have two weeks of Brady and nothing to show for it for Edelman is stinks. All right. Jeremy in Alabama says just had a one in five team except a trade offer in our league. He is giving up David Johnson.

For Frank Gore and Mike Wallace. What? Do you feel this is fair or should the commissioner veto the trade? You can't veto it. Wait, so Mike Wallace and Frank Gore for David Johnson. Here's the situation. What makes us tough is the fact that they're one in five. And there's worries in leagues like this that. So if this guy wants to come to the table and fight for getting Frank Gore.

and Mike Wallace, if he comes and says, look, I have to have Mike Wallace on my team. I want this deal. Then I agree with Mike. You can't veto it because he might be stupid. He might be wrong. But in a situation where there's just a bad trade, bad trades aren't vetoed trades. However, this looks to me from the outside to be a situation where this guy don't care. And he's like, sure. I've been in other leagues.

You know, I think I started a baseball league once where, or no, it was basketball, a basketball fantasy league a couple years ago. It was croquet. And I just stopped paying attention and didn't care. And someone offered me a trade offer. I just clicked okay. I didn't care. And that should have been vetoed. Shame on me. Shame on you. But it was basketball. I think we, I think we won that league, Andy.

I think we did. I think we won because I was a trade. Question. Was it you guys who traded with me? So this is what I'm talking about. If it, you know, look, if it smells like collusion, if it looks like collusion, go ahead and veto it because that's the reason to beat. We were co-owners in that league and we won it. So you were who I traded it? Probably. Oh, my goodness. We're the worst. This is what you don't start a basketball league with a bunch of football players. That's what it was. Hey, we can do this basketball thing. But.

Me and Mike were the only one. Hey, you won the league. Wait, what was there? It was Marley and me? Yeah. For Dan Marley. All right. All right. That does it for today's show, guys.
