Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Pump the Brakes, Wk 15 Playoff Mailbag, TNF Preview

I don't feel like it really has been in, I mean, again, I said this a couple times this last week. It's just shifting the value away from the passing game usually. Well, we're talking about the passing game right now. Sure, sure, sure. And this week, it looks like 24 degrees. So it's in the 20s. It's going to be cold. I think you're going to have, you know, similar, similar opportunities to last week. I think Watkins is still fine here. And Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay's defense.

Has been... They're good. Legit. So I still go... That's why they're going to beat Dallas. I still go Watkins in the cool weather. They're going to beat Dallas because the world wants us to talk about Tony Romo. Oh, no. Just the universe needs Tony Romo back. David and Tampa, what two do I start out of the following three? Lamar Miller. Golden Tate. Blal Powell. Blal Powell. I like that.

Oh, that's stupid, but I like it. Assuming that Matt Forte is out, which I think that he will be out, I would go with the double running backs. Blow-plow. Yes. All right. Miller and Pal? Yes. I agree. However, I'm leaning more and more. It's still too early. But it just seems if you're calling yourself day to day early in the week, which is what the coach has referred to Matt Forte, then I assume you play. Seattle one-year deal.

Forte is on a two-year deal, I believe. No, a three, wasn't that like a three-year? I'll check it. So I don't know why Forte would play through an injury. With your team out? Yeah. And your knee is Rice Krispies? I don't know. And if you play, you're probably limited. Well, if he's out, I'm going blah, blah. Yeah. It's technically it's a three-year contract. All right. Thursday night football, the Los Angeles Rams. So stupid. Take on the Seattle.

Seahawks. How would you spell that on his shirt? Blow blow plow plow. Stop. Yeah. This is like Michael Thomas. Mike hates him at first. We are really stupid. Mike hates it. And then he's in a couple of, a couple days later, he just walks in the office of Michael Dumas. The new nickname is you just say a guy's name really funny. We are stupid, Mike. That is our stick. We can be stupid when, when our rankings are okay. Apparently, let me, apparently if the Cardinals went out and the Seahawks lose out, do we win the division?

So you're telling me there's a chance. Yeah. Eight, four, and one. Cardinals are five, seven and one. It would be up to the division. No, I'm right. Yeah. All right. Anyways, moving on. The Cardinals are winning it all. No, no, moving on. Ram, Seahawks. Seahawks are just barely favorites in this game by 15 points. 38.5.0. You did get me there. I was like, what? Here's all I'm going to say. What?

If I had to take a line in this game, I would take the Rams to cover the spread. And I would do it purely on point totals. And I would do it because the Seahawks got home at one in the morning on Monday and they have to play on Thursday at home. True. Because Sunday night game was with Green Bay, travel country, indivision against a team that always play them close. They always play them close. The defense here is not going to be rocked by the Fisher News. The defense is still the same defense.

which has been playing well. So I would agree. The mood is good. Yeah. The Rams are happy. They're celebrating in their locker rooms. All right. That being said, Jared Goff could let the Seahawks cover the spread quickly in this game. Decisions to be made, I don't think anybody is, we talked about Gurley's circumstances. Kenny Britt's been good? Yeah, Brits been good. And the nice thing is,

He has done it with both quarterbacks this year. So I feel like you can have a little bit more confidence. The problem is I assume he's going to have Sherman, you know, at least for 70% of those snaps. Any chance to lock it has a good game. He has five catches two weeks ago. He's against Carolina last week in the conundrum or I'm sorry in the catastrophe game. Four for 41. Yeah. You know, he's carried the ball.

At least once in the last three games, twice last week he carried the ball. Two weeks ago, one for 75. I think he's a sneaky snart. The guy that I like the most in this game by far is Thomas Rawls. Thomas Rawls has been playing lights out. And I know you think, oh, the Rams. I mean, last week he was amazing. He looked great. Every carry was awesome. But then, you know, the game was 38 to 10.

I mean, they got blown out. You just can't keep carrying, you know, giving carries to your running back. Well, there's a 15 point spread that, you know, the Seahawks are favored. Thomas Rawls is going to get work. He has looked great. And you think, okay, well, the Rams have a really good running defense. Not really. I mean, this year, they're 20th in fantasy points given up to the running back position. And when you go to Seattle play, I think Thomas Rawls is going to have an excellent game. What about Mr. 11 targets?

Tavon Austin. I'm not starting a ram. I'm not starting a single ram in this game. Fair. I would be willing to be grudgingly to start Todd Gurley just because not everybody has good options at running back. And Todd Gurley for all of his, you know, the unbelievable stat that over the course of this season in a PPR format, he has not had a top 12 week. I don't know. Maybe he did this last week because he finally had a good game. But I would be willing to start him because

is he still has a high floor. All right. You realize Russell Wilson was the first Seahawks quarterback to throw five picks in a game since 1999? Congratulations. You know who that quarterback was in 1999? Do you remember him? John Kitna. Remember Kitna? I loved Kitna. Kitna was like a fantasy beast when he got a chance to play. Remember he coming in Detroit and he put up those big games? Yeah. All right. Thanks again to the 5-4 Club for sponsoring today's show.

Breaking news. Todd Gurley was a running back one last week. Oh, he did it. It took him 14 weeks, but he did it. In both standard and PPR, congratulations, Todd Gurley. You finally did it. You finally are paying off on that draft value. Top five pick in the fantasy draft. Do you think he could sense that Fisher was on his way out? Remember when he was on the show? It was just lighter. The load was lighter? Remember when Todd Gurley was on the show and he told David Johnson to sit down?

Well, he was just being polite. He was saying, hey, we should, we should have a sit down here because David Johnson's so good. Yeah. That's a good point. Maybe to arm wrestle or something. All right.
