Week 15 Matchups + Wheel of Shame, A Bit Cheaper - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/15

Eagles team struggled. They scored 19 points and then 13 points. So I think that's more of the reason of what happened to DeAndre Swift instead of him turning into a pumpkin. So I'm still, I would still be okay playing him. The Seattle matchup is really good for running backs. That's kind of why I lean towards him. Like Swift or Walker. Same game. Yeah, I would go swift because of the matchup. But it is worth paying attention to. I mean, you know, the last three weeks, he's been a 52% snaps. Before that, he was at 61% of snaps. He was getting...

46% of rushing back carries. Now he's getting 42%. Rushing back? Running back. Running back. No, no, I like that. Rushing back carries. He was getting 12% of the targets from the backfield. Now he's getting 7% over the stretch. Over the last how far? Over those last three weeks. Yeah, I think that's the game script. If they're losing and trying to catch up, then they're going to go to gain well. It is, yeah, that's very true. In this game, I mean, it's a tight line. I was surprised that what? What? Oh, baby. Andy's almost upset of the week. No, I've got the confidence. Wow. They need to win this game. Pete Carroll wins the must win. Unbelievable. Your mind is blown. Their next three matchups. Plus, the Eagles only have a rushing back. They don't have any running back.

That is the desired necessary reaction from Jason to get this right. Every time that you blow my mind and I think you're crazy. Nullified if there's no Gino. You win every time. I'm vetoing the almost upset without Gino. Without Gino. It's funny. This is the time of year in playoffs where you're like, you're making these starts-it decisions, but half of it could be made like this, Mike. Your opponent, they're starting a running back and who are you more afraid to face? Kenneth Walker, DeAndre Swift. Yes, think about it like that. Swift. Yeah, I'd be more afraid to play Swift too. So, all right, it is time. Fantasy Face Off, presented by Draft Kings. Well, well, well, Mike. You must have been pretty happy to be done with your streak. I don't know if the quattro has ever been done. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I have to do something real special. Yeah. I lost. So I get to spend the wheel. Wheel.

of shame. All right, spin the wheel. I thought I'd never spin it again. I thought it was over. That's what we all think. And, uh, Shark Nato. Pizza face. Pizza face. Dobby Lobby. Is that what it says? Yeah, it is what Dobby Lobby. What is Dobby Lobby Lobby. Oh, it's nerd stuff. It's nerd stuff. It's Harry Potter's Dobby. What's that? There he is. That's it? That's it. He's a house elf today. It doesn't even fit. I'm going to tell you something right now. I can see nothing. I've never been, I've never had to see zero. I think there's slits under the eyes that you can. Oh, I see him peeking out now. Yeah, there he is. But I want a Dobby voice. Bobby, I don't, what does Dobby's voice sound like? Give me an example. Yeah, yeah, nerd. No, I'm not. No, this is sound like. Andy's about tell us. There you go. Whatever you think it is it is.

All right. Can you hear me? Yeah, we can hear you. I can barely breathe. Barely. The ears are great. My quarterback, Matthew Stafford, 6,000. Yep. Jay? My quarterback, Matthew Stafford, 6,000. I figured everyone was going Stafford, so I pivoted. Really? I am going Jordan Love at 6,200. Wow, more expensive. Yeah. He was in my lineup first this week. I just, I. I felt very strong you guys would go that way, so I was trying to keep... Probably. I was trying to get some difference there. Okay, all right. And you did. Running backs. Kyron Williams, 7500. Yeah, I figured you'd have him. Bejan Robinson, 6800. Okay. I made a second lineup this morning and those were the two running backs, but that is not the one I'm going with today. I'm going with one I made Tuesday morning, which is what you always want to do. A Tuesday lineup? A Tuesday early morning lineup. How's the, oh, that's freaky looking.

Um, uh, so my, I've got Jerich McKinnon. I've got Jerich McKinnon at 5100. Uh, I shared. I think he has a decent game. I should have known. And Christian McCaffrey at 9,300 against Arizona Cardinals. Well, shoot. Christian McCaffrey. and Kyron Williams. Ooh, that's a monster. We are putting all the chips on the running backs. I thought about that lineup to start the week. It just took too much away from everything else. Yeah. Well, we'll find out. I guess we'll find out what it took away. My wide receivers, Pooka Nakua, 7300. Chose him over Cooper Cup. Washington gives up deep balls. Pooka, I think, is going to be a big benefit. And Puga's a bit cheaper than Cooper Cup. Yeah.

Yeah, he is. What? Yeah, no, don't worry about it. Yeah, Puka is that. Yeah, yeah. Um, yeah. Um, yeah. Um, yeah. Don't, don't, don't worry about. Did I not say cheaper? No, you said, uh, you said that. You said that. You said that word. You said a bit before. Oh. And it came across. Ah, little, little bit. He's a little bit cheaper. A little bit cheaper. I see. I see there could be a run on words there. Yes. It was very good because that's all I heard. Pooka Nekua 7300. Drake London. What? Wow. 5,400. He's the best at that price to me for a PPR value. A week too late. And trailing Birx for 3,000. What? He's 3,000. The matchup of Houston's great. Jason's start of the week is the Andre Hopkins. There's not a lot of good 3,000 options. I went with him over the Touré Malik Heath 3,000 options. All right. Interesting. It is.

Over a thousand degrees inside of this one. Okay, so I have, I actually didn't stack with Cooper Cup or a little bit. Right and dirty. Cheap, Pooka Nakua. I went with C.D. Lamb. I wanted him in my lineup because if I can get Christian McCaffrey and C.D. Lamb lately. Let's go weather. Yeah, you're hoping for bad weather. I've also got my start of the week, DeAndre Hopkins at 6200. And Jaden Reed at 4,900, which I assume, Mike, you have to have if you've got- Of course. I have Jaden Reed at 4,900. I also have Pucanakua at 7,300. Okay. And then I have Rishi Rice against the Patriots at 6,100. Well, I was able to save some money along the way, so I like my final three options here. Oh, I don't like mine. My tight, yeah, well, Christian McCaffee says what? David Nijoku is my tight end at 4,700. My flex?

discount CMC Rashad White. Oh. At 7,000. 7,000. Okay. And my, which is more expensive than Bijon this week. And then my defense is what I thought the, it's New England. It's 2300 New England. I don't love it. I don't love it. I have for my final three. I'm going to expire. I have. I've never been this hot. I've got Tucker Kraft sitting down at 3,000 Green Bay Packers rookie. tied in. I have a stack with Stafford of DeMarcus Robinson. All right. Sitting down at 3,600. And I have the Jets defense going to Miami at 2,500. Well, we have a lot of left. What's that? That's a scary one. The Jets. Yeah, yeah. The Jets defense is going to Miami? Yep. Yeah. Well, I have the Jets defense as well, just in case there's a hobbled Tyreek. Our defenses are facing the chiefs and the dolphins.

Correct. That's pretty good. I went with the super stack, so I have Tucker Kraft at 3,000. It's kind of backed into it with my finances. And then my flex. Lynn Bowden Jr. at 3100 with the chance that Chris Olabe misses. And also with no cash left over. That was Fantasy Faceop presented by Draft King Sportsbook.

I will I will pay you both $100 if I don't win this week and fancy face off. Okay. After going through this, I feel 100% confident my lineup will win. Okay. All right, great. I accept that one-way deal. It's not a bet. It's just literally I'm offering you each $100 if you can beat me this week. Oh, that's great. Because if you add your victories with Mike's victories together this year, they don't equal mine yet.

Well, I'll take more money. This week is what I'm bedding on. All right. So I will, real quick, the final note here, Dolphins coach, Mike McDaniel, Tyree Kill will be pregame, not practicing all week. They'll decide pregame. And the quote is, this is about it, could he play? He's confident. Then I have the support of the medical guys that he can go be himself. So pregame. That's a problem. Game time decision. Go just defense. Wow. What is this other quote that Brooks, you shared this in upcoming about, is that from him as well? Yeah, both from this morning looks like does it so. You guys, I can't talk. What do we got? Brooks, summarize it for us. I was just saying, in theory, he would have been able to practice if he didn't have the standard that he has. They're just working on getting him as healthy as possible. Okay, perfect. Well, maybe he plays. All right, hit the outro. That's going to do it for the week, everyone.
