Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 5 Mailbag Questions, Trade Questions, Starts and Sits

Very, wow. No, I thought Steve Smith. And standard. That's not fun to talk about. We only talk about your feelings. It's more fun when you kill guys. I know. I just like being right every once in a while. Remember that YouTube guy? He doesn't like me. I want him to know. Whatever. Just kidding. But I would do the, I would keep Forset. The offensive line, maybe it was just against the Steelers. I don't know. But the line looked like they were getting it together in Baltimore. And that's what Foreset really needs. All right. For clarification on targets here, he actually does.

beat Julio Jones is ahead of Julio on targets at the pace he was on. However, behind the new number one, which is DeAndre Hopkins, because of 22 targets. Is that because Julio didn't have to play on Sunday? Yeah, probably. He was on a buy as well. He was on a half-by, thanks to the... Devonta Freeman.

So before we get to our next question, we want to take a minute and thank our sponsor. MeUndies. Oh, yeah. Check this out, me, undies. We all know how sexy confidence can be, and that confidence comes from being comfortable. But how great can you feel in your underwear if it's wrinkling and riding up? Meondi's gets it, and that's why they've created the world's most comfortable underwear. For a daily dose, I can speak to the truth of confidence. Guys, listeners, Foot Clan listeners.

This is not a joke. I am wearing Miandis right now, and they are, I've never had anything like that on my body. I'm never going to take them off. It's like sitting in a cloud. Uh-huh. Well, what are they made of? So they're made out of modal. Mi-undis is made out of modal, a fabric that's twice as soft as cotton, twice as soft. No way. That's twice as soft is what you're... It's ten times of soft. I don't believe that. It's twice as soft is what you're wearing right now, unless you're wearing, meandis, like myself.

And Jason. Mionis has tons of colors and styles in the only place to get matching pairs for men and women if you're into that. They release a new design every month. I'm wearing camo.

I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm wearing some sweet camos right now. I've got like a Beetlejuice pattern. That's what my wife says. She's like, hey, Beetlejuice. And we all know that paying for shipping sucks. It's all. Miandis has removed that. U.S. and Canada. Ship for free. Meandis has a money back guarantee. If you don't like your pair, you get your money back. So this is what we need the footclan to do. Go to meyundies.com slash.

footballers get 20% off your first order. That's a special order or special offer just for our listeners. Meundies.com slash footballers sit in a cloud. I agree. I can't argue with that. I wore my tie-dyes yesterday.

Yeah, and we'd also like to thank our sponsor, Fanduil. They are so much fun to play. If you listened two weeks ago, you had the tight-in Barnage Love. If you listened last week, you have Carson Palmer, or I'm sorry, Sammy Biscuits that I think we recommended. FanDuel is such a great place to play and make money. You...

It's free straight cash. So go to fanduel.com where every day is a new season, F-A-N-D-U-E-L, and sign up today. What's our promo code? Ballers. Ballers. All right. Wide receiver targets on...

The waivers, we talked through them yesterday. If you picked up these guys, what order do you put them in? K. Mar Aiken, Ty Montgomery, Tavon Austin. I go, I probably like Austin the most of this group, but if I need a start. This week, though. If it's for this week, if I need a start, it's got to be Aiken to me. Yeah, I think it's between Aiken and Austin for me.

And the Rams play the Packers, and the Packers defense has actually been pretty good. Pretty good. I'm going to go with Aiken. I agree. I'd go Aiken, Austin, Montgomery. I don't think Devante Adams will play this week, but he is questionable. And they're going to, the last report said, evaluate him week to week, which is not the same as day to day and not so good.

That's code for he ain't going to play this week. Yeah, I agree with that one. So what are your thoughts on Adams when he returns? I still like him. I think he's going to get plugged back in. I don't think Jones will hold on to that number two. He'll go back to what he's doing, which is scoring a touchdown basically every single game, but only drawing a few targets. It's been a really disappointing start to the year for Adams. Well, getting hurt, we'll do that.

Well, he was lackluster before that. Yes. He hasn't been producing, but the targets have been there. And Rogers just over the offseason, Rogers, that was the guy he was talking about. And I believe that I don't know if I completely buy into the talent, but the opportunity is there. And if the Packers actually do like him like they say, then I'm still buying it. All right, the Commissioner's Fist. That's what his name is. The Commissioner's Fist.

Look out. Eddie Lacey, is that you? Pick one, tight end and flex. Larry Donnell, Julius Thomas. Eddie Royal or Golden Tate. So this has to be assuming that Julius Thomas is going to play, right? I would assume that. Because otherwise I would pick Dunnell every time.

Right, right, yeah. And that's the kind of insight and information we count on you for, Jason. You are welcome, caller. You know, he's probably going to be cleared. You'll want to check right now, depending on when we recorded this show to what time you're listening to it. But he's meeting with doctors this week, and he's supposed to be cleared for full practice. So he'd get three practices before.

You know, he plays. The buck in the years have a decent defense. So I would probably go with Donnell not knowing how you're going to use Julius Thomas. It's tough to just have a guy coming back off an injury on a new team that you've never seen before and roll him out. So the only reason to start Julius Thomas is if you are just playing for excitement and excitement only and you just want to watch and see what happens with.

you know, a horse in the race. Or maybe on, like, a fan duel, if you're going one of those big tournament-style things, not a lot of people going to be... I'd go with Donnell and Royal. Okay. Nick and Lafayette, Louisiana. Hey, guys, they need to start two of these three running backs. Todd Gurley, Arian Foster, Latavius Murray. Ooh, good options. Full point PPR. Oof. So you got...

Oh, and he needs to win. He needs a big win. Oh, all right. Okay. If he needed a loss, who would he, no. That's, well, I'm glad you said that because that changes everything. Yeah, normally we don't care about winning your matchup. So you got Gurley going up against the Packers. Man, I liked Gurley last week, but it's hard to sit Latavius Murray. Latavis Murray's going up against the Broncos. It's far easier to sit Latvians Murray. Foster Gurley? Yep. So Foster was the lock for both of you. Yeah.

Um, should I trade Alshan Jeffrey? This is Max. Max in Seattle. No, Andy. Yes. Trade me, Alshon Jeffrey for Dionne Lewis. Do it on the air. Make a deal. I'm not doing that. First of all, if you really wanted, if you really wanted a deal, you wouldn't come to me on the air with a different deal than the ones that you've sent. You're sending me a weaker deal on the air, which means I'm going to reject it.

Every deal you send me. Sammy Watkins and Dionne Lewis. Max in Seattle. Should I trade Alshan Jeffrey for Devante Freeman? Alshan Jeffrey. No. I would keep Jeffrey. Yeah, me too. No. No, I already gave him an apology. That's just the music I associate with Devante Freeman now. That was a great clip. That was on Twitter yesterday. Alex in East Lansing.

By the way, you can follow us on Twitter at the FF Ballers. I don't think I said that at the beginning of the show. And by the way, if Coleman comes back and tears up, I will immediately turn on Devante Freebies. You will sell on itself. Great. Alex and East Lansing needs to start two and bench one. Okay. For set, Jeremy Hill, Joseph Randall. I'm benching Jeremy Hill. Yeah, I think I'm going to bench Hill against the Seahawks.

Unless you get a game similar to last week where he's kind of gifted some touchdowns. Yeah, that's the only way. He only got nine carries last week, and really it should have been eight carries and two touchdowns because that Gio touchdown. I did. Yeah. That play calling was weird, man. Gio with nine carries and, or Gio had 11 carries and Hill had nine. That's just, even in a game in there they had the whole time. That's.

One piece of news we didn't mention on yesterday's show that broke was the fact that Boom Heron was signed by the bills. Yes. And so keep that in mind with the situation with Carlos Williams and McCoy. He's just going to be there to be an emergency back. Yeah. But people, you know, that Trent Richardson love. All the love out there. His mom, his aunt, his old high school coach. The list goes on.

Does Nick Saban still believe in Trent Richardson? I don't know. Who called him the worst running back in the history of the NFL? I did. Sorry. You mean someone else? No, I mean like a professional ex running back said that on the air, on ESPN. They called him the worst. Recently? Yes. I'm going to effort this. You guys keep talking. Worst running back in the history.

All right. So who did, sorry. Do we have a question or anything? I've lost track. Here's the question now, Mike. Who's the worst running back in the history of the NFL? Former. That's impossible. Former NFL player, Ryan Clark said that. Ryan Clark? He just wants to be in the news. Remind me who Ryan Clark is. Yeah, I was going to say remind Jason who a defensive player is. Yeah. Come on. Come on now. All right. Next question. QB Start Sick question from David in Cleveland.

He's got Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers. Oh, Philip Rivers. Yeah, Rivers has such a great matchup. Rivers against the Steelers. Oakland, though. I know. But Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates is back. Philip Rivers at home against the Steelers. I don't know. I am going. Yes. Yes. Yes. Waterbed. Bounce back week for Peyton Manning. That's fine. That's a water bet between you guys? By the way, I love Philip Rivers, but I think Peyton will...

We'll outscore him. I'm not hopping in on this, but I will say this, looking these two matchups over and what I think is going to happen with Owen Daniels, I'm going to say Peyton Manning as well. That's fine. So that is, thanks for, you know, you had the chance to get in on it with me. Oh, I don't believe. Which would have been one of the first times you're ever with a deal with me. It's like the table separates us. So you can't ever join a, it's like you're sitting next to him. Yeah. You're both wearing me undies. I'll say what. That's true. That's true. It's me and these side of the table.

You know, trust me, I wore me undies all week. I just ran out, and I didn't wear them, you know. You should have got the 365 pack. They have it. Well, you know, I'm waiting for that. Yeah. Still waiting for it to arrive. Brian and, as well as my, never mind. Brian in Mississippi, should I trade Randall Cobb and Doug Martin for Julio Jones? Randall Cobb. Yes. I would do it. Yeah, I would do that. I would do it.
