Fantasy Football Podcast for Week 15/16

uh for the podcast you can also listen online at the fantasy footballers dot com or subscribe on stitcher and um we're excited this has been a fun year yeah and please give us a five-star review it really helps our show it helps us get uh some more eyes on the show to see what we will give you one hundred dollars of fantasy advice if you give us a five-star review that's what that's what this show's valued at per week

$100. You get $100. Yeah, that's $100 worth of advice. All right. Let's get to the questions. All right. This one comes in from Don't Screw Me. Right after we say how valuable our show is, the pressure's on, bro. Don't Screw Me wants to know in a PPR league. Choose two. I'll let you answer this one and choose to Jeremy Hill, Marshaun Lynch, or Aryan Foster. Foster is absolutely in.

Locked and loaded. The other two are... Forty carries coming. No. Dude, that's... It could. That's not an exaggeration. That might happen. The other two are really hard Marshall Lynch against Arizona. Really, really stout run defense. And then Jeremy Hill against Denver, who have a not as equal as Arizona's run defense, but they have the ability to put up a bunch of points, screw up the game flow, get him out of the game. And because of that, I would go with Lynch.

I know that he's going to get carries. If they get anywhere inside the five-yard line, that's a 80% Lynch touchdown. That's definitely the right call because Lynch also does not have a Giovanni-Binard problem. He has a Robert's Hervin problem lately. I wouldn't call it a problem. Well, you're not a Lynch owner watching these games very closely and getting furious every time Lynch is off the field.

But I think if you're going into your title game, you can feel pretty good with Lynch and Foster. The next question is from Futt Bumble. Futt Bumble. That reminds me so much of Buck Futter. Yeah, so wait, you don't get this one? Oh, I get it. Oh, okay. I thought it was pretty, I thought whoever wrote this is pretty funny. Futt Bumble. Fubble says. QB question, who should I start?

Mark Sanchez or Maddie Snapback Stafford. Why do we not talk about Matthew Stafford on every show? Because he's way too fun to make fun of. And my goodness, at least his team's 10 and 4. When we make fun of Cutler, his team's abysmal. Who do you start this week? So Sanchez, we don't have the games pulled up here with it.

Sanchez takes on Washington. No, no, no. Oh, yeah, yeah. And Stafford takes on Tampa? Bears. Bears, that's right. Oh, we're retarded. Mark Sanchez or Matt Stafford, I'm going to go on Matt Stafford. You're going to believe in Denver? In December, Matt Stafford. I'm going to believe enough. Actually, man, that's a toss-up, but I'm going to go Matt Stafford, yeah. I'm going to go with Sanchez.

I have... You're going to go with Futt Bumble? Yeah. I just, I have this incredible non-belief in Stafford in December. The thing is, is they might not need to run or to throw the ball in that game against Chicago. So I'm going to switch. Oh, yeah? Come on Sanchez. Yeah, I'm going to come back on the Sanchez. Washington stinks. They actually have a strength of run defense, but their past defense is awful.

So to me, Philadelphia is Macklin and Matthews. Man, Matthews the goose egg. Yeah. That killed some people. So I like Sanchez out of this choice. All right. Our next one comes in from Johnny Bench. That could be the baseball player or that could be the quarterback for these two players. The baseball player? Yeah, Johnny Bench. You never heard of Johnny Bench? No. You don't know baseball? No. This must be like, you know, me and Creed is me in baseball. I'll tell you what.

Johnny Bench is one of the most famous catchers in the history of major league. When did he play? I don't have 40s, 50s. What team? Yankees. I'm going to be right, too. Hold on a second. Google this. He's going to Google. Johnny Bench. Welcome to the official website of baseball's greatest catcher, Johnny Bench. Joe Maurer disagrees. He played for the Reds.

I got Yogi Berra and him mixed up, okay? For those listeners out there, I got the two old catchers mixed up a little bit. No big deal. And I was also way often when he played. He played in the 60s to the 80s. My knowledge of baseball is really relegated to... That's why this name is funny. It's because Johnny Mansell becomes Johnny Bench, becomes the pun on Johnny Bench to baseball player.

My baseball information is... Yeah, what is? Late 90s Minnesota Twins. Hmm, Kirby Pucket? Oh, yeah. But Kirby Pucket was actually earlier, but I'm talking later 90s when... Why? Because I... Because you had the window of your life in which you... I watched almost every Twins game. This was the Johan Santana years. Oh, really? Oh, man. How weird. I was massive. So you just jumped in and jumped out? Yeah, I just still a Twins fan. I... No, I'm still a Twins fan. I just...

really dove into football. It just, it was skewed. That's funny. Johan Santana, he burned brightly for a little while. Manning. He was a monster. Johnny Bench wants to know, so this, I think this is Johnny Mansell. Josh Gordon, Josh Gordon or Isaiah Crowell, who would you start? I'm going with the guy who's getting the ball for sure. I guess we had this question kind of earlier, didn't we? We had Crowell. It was a running, or... Crowell versus Hopkins, so this is both on the same team.

Um, jeesh, Mansell looks so bad. I'm going to go Josh Gordon. Really? Yeah, I'm going to go, Gordon. I'm just going to go talent on this one. Crowell is very talented running back. Yeah, I, you know, this is, neither is not an option, so I'm going to go Josh Gordon. I'm taking the crow. The next question is, Henny for your thoughts.

Uh, Chad Hennie might get to start this week. It's a PPR question. You got Doug Martin against Green Bay, Stedman Bailey against the Giants, or Alan Hearns against the Titans. Uh, in order, this goes, Hearns, Bailey, Martin. I completely agree. Boom! I am not, I'm not playing Doug Martin. He's not fooling me. No, no, I, uh...

I think PPR really seals the deal on that one, too. So this next one comes in from Jonathan Stewart from the Daily Show. From the Daily Show. It's the host. The host with the most. John, how you doing? John. Thanks for emailing. We love to get you. We get one celebrity email a week. Every week. Yeah. That should be another requisite. Not just punny, not just funny, but celebrities. If celebrities email us, they go. We are, we play the favorites. If you've got a lot of money.

and you're rich, and you're in movies, and you drive fancy cars, or wear snapback hats. You know who else could get, do you know who moved to the top of this list? Who? Who? Would be a high-ranking executive at Peter Piper Pizza. That's right. That's right. Wait, what's the name of that segment we were going to do? The Peter Piper Pizza PPR Pick of the Week. The Peter Piper Pizza PPR Pick of the Week. Oh, man. So Peter Piper, Mr. Peter.

No, that's not his name. Mr. Pizza? Mr. Piper? Maybe it's a Mrs. He's just called Mr. Pizza. Yeah. Mr. Pizza. That's just like Mr. Carr, who owns the local dealership. Look, all I want is some free Peter Piper pizza. Really? Well, not free. Well, it's a trade. No, no, no. I was going to say, we don't need money for this specific sponsorship. We would take pizza. Catered podcasts. Yeah, I'll take pizza.

Yeah, and then we'll bring you the Peter Piper PPR pick of the week. All right, so the question from John Stewart is about John Stewart. He wants to know if you should start Lamar Miller versus the Vikings or the Daily Show, John Stewart of Carolina against the Browns. If DeAngelo's out again with his finger, which we don't know. Yeah, that's the big news right there. If he's out, Johnny Stewart, I'm riding it again. Yeah, why not?

Lamar Miller's ceiling seems so capped. But if DeAngelo's in there, I'm going with Lamar Miller. Yeah, I agree with you. So hopefully those questions helped. Do you got any sweet championship game advice? I mean, I know that you and I have been there three three weeks. Step one, make it to the championship game. Yeah. You and I still need to figure out a bet. We do. If you have an idea for a bet for Mike and I.

Because we want something to be costly, potentially, in our head-to-head matchup this week. So if you've got an idea, send it in. We both are allegedly. I tried to get Mike to shave his beard. That's just not going to happen. How about half your beard? Like left side. We both are allegedly done creating children. Right. The loser becomes a eunuch.

Hmm. That seems a little... You just turned down a beard bet to go Unic. I'm all in. So many things they could say. So let's move it on. What if you were a Unic and you lived in Munich? You'd probably write into our podcast with that as your name. I'm the Unic from Munich. I don't think Unix are quite as prevalent as you believe they are from Game of Thrones. Hey, according to Game of Thrones.

There's one in five people. According to the game, they're the smartest and most clever. Because you don't have to worry about certain things. No, you don't. You're not distracted. You're the greatest fantasy football player of all time. Wait a minute. Are you really committed? How committed are you, Mike? Do you have to tell us something? No. Is there a reason you haven't been afraid of having a fourth child? It's because you're super focused.

Well, I didn't expect it to turn that direction. Yeah. Anything else? I mean... Just the The Fantasy Footballers at gmail.com. You want to get a hold of us. Please subscribe to the podcast. Let us know what you want to see next year, too. We're going to bring in, hopefully really bring a lot more to the table next year in terms of maybe a couple times a week. Right. What I'm actually really hoping is to... I'm going to put it on the air, so we actually...

are accountable i want to get we want to get an actual home base site where we can do things like articles and rankings uh general musings or whatever blog posts so it's not just uh the podcast this the one or two times a week maybe get a forum on there too for people to be able right put their questions right on there so sounds good to me yeah but that's about really good luck everyone uh if you are still alive and you can taste

the sweet, sweet nectar of victory. Yeah. Then you can rejoice. Well, good luck. I'm sure you guys will hear all about who is the victory between the hit man and the Holloway. All right, there we go.
