Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 4 Review, Studs and Duds, MNF Preview, Fantasy News

you know, Jaguar running back from the past few years where this team is not good. They are not a good team. And running backs as talented as you can be, if you're not on a very good team, if you're not competitive in these games, you're going to be game flowed out of fantasy production. Am I right? You are absolutely correct. And speaking of another bad team, the same thing's happening to him. Lamar Miller had another terrible game. What do we do with Hyde and Miller fantasy-wise, Jason?

You hold on to them. I don't think you're going to get enough value out of either guy. Neither one of them are cuttable, so you bench them or you play them matchups if they've got a great matchup. Right now they're sitting 48th and 43rd. That was overall over the week. Yeah. Yeah, Miller, we got that hope again, right? Because Philbin will be gone. Yep. So you got a hold on to that. They're on a bye week this week.

Well, maybe they learn how to run in the by week. Who knows? Yeah, maybe they say hello to Lamar Miller. You know who else we got to say hello to? Hello! Latavius Murray ends up being benched due to a fumble. He had two fumbles in the game, but he got benched. It wasn't just the fumble. He caused the pick. Yeah. Where it bounced right off his hands. Yep. So, Roy Hulu. Hello. How are you doing? Mike's been so excited to say that on the show today. Yeah.

as are all of you who said it at your draft. And what is it? Is this just a one-time thing? Yeah, it's a one-time thing. Looking at Carr and seeing what the coach said afterwards. And even what Latavius Murray was saying afterwards, this was, you know, send a message, but he's going to be back. Ariane Foster, eight for ten. He's back, baby. He also had one of the most disgusting little fumble return for a touchdown things. This game was a complete disaster from the beginning for Houston.

I am excited about Aaron Foster Thursday night against the Colts. Are you guys with me? Yes. Absolutely. All right. Yes. Maybe he'll get to play more than a quarter or two. Maybe. Maybe. I like him. Yeah. So no setbacks there. That's the big news for fantasy owners. No setbacks for Aaron Foster. Wide receivers that had a pretty crappy game. Mike, or I mean, Jason, we talked about this. He didn't go Gooser, but he got pretty darn close. He got as close as you. Roddy White. Two for eight?

Coming off of two zero-zero games. Are you preparing a eulogy? Yeah. Roddy, I remember once upon a time when you were a wide receiver one. And then I remember when you were a great wide receiver two. But you skipped wide receiver three. And you went straight to wide receiver eight. And so we will remember you.

in the future as the Roddy White, who was a Hall of Fame level for a couple years. If you are still, if your team is alive in your 24-man team, then Roddy White, you start him every week. What's so? 24-man league? Yeah. Yeah. If you have to start every player in the NFL, he's on somebody's team. Mike Evans, we talked about in 3 for 32 against Norman. Hold on, hold on. What about Leonard Hankerson? So are we, is Hankerson now a weekly start?

Yeah, he's a flexible guy. I would have him over a week start. Yeah, okay. He's a bi-week start. He's just what Hearns was this week, which is a matchup and by kind of, oh, I can roll horns out there in my flex based on the matchup. You know, when Julio goes up against somebody that is going to keep him to like two touchdowns on 100 yards than Hankerson. Let's talk about Odell Beckham Jr. What I thought was interesting about this game, he had 12 targets, but he only ended up with 5 for 38.

We pay attention to targets. Okay, we know Oda Buccombe Jr. is going to be okay. Eli Manning really trusted the other receivers on the team. Roobes. Another Roobes. Ruben Randall, but not just him. Dwayne Harris. Dwayne Harris got targeted. I don't want to talk about Dr. Dwayne Harris. I want to talk about Reuben Randall. This was not the week for the big name wide receiver because O'Dell Beckham Jr., Julio Jones, and Antonio Brown all had stinkers. Yeah. But their teams had, yeah.

other than I guess the Steelers lost. But the other two won. Anyway, so let's talk about tight ends real quick. Travis Kelsey, five for 49 and a fumble. Boom. How many targets did he actually get? It was a disappointing game because they were in it and I expected, and they were coming back, so I expected him to have a bigger game. I'm pulling him up right now. Zach Ertz, two for 11, Kyle Rudolph, two for seven. You know, it's hard to put these guys into poop their big boy pants. I don't think any of these guys got big boy pants on.

I don't think Kyle Rudolph or Zach Ertz or Heath Miller were expecting big games from them. No, but I guess they're in there just to say you guys did nothing for your NFL team this week, literally. All right, so go sign Antonio Gates. Yes. If he's on your waiverware. Consider Larry Donnell as a start because of the fact that we don't have...

competition there for him anymore. Go sign Owen Daniels because he plays the Raiders next week. Owen Daniels plays the Raiders and his, I believe, I don't know if it sustained this week. Jason, you signed him in one of our leagues. But the three previous weeks, he had increased target numbers each week. I don't know that he had increased targets, but he did get a red zone target touchdown. What was that again? Target touchdown. A target touchdown. A target touchdown. Kelsey had seven targets. So that's, eh. Yeah. It's all right.

You got to target Kelsey. He is a fumbler. Yeah. His career-wise, he just fumbles a lot. But if I'm recalling correct, I don't think that was actually a fumble. I'm trying to remember if we could get the video of it. It's recorded as a fumble. Yes. Yeah, yeah. It was a fumble officially, but I don't, it was one of those weird review things. I thought he was down. He's the kind of guy who either fumbles or nearly fumbles a lot, which is my point. So, uh, let's go mail bag. Mailbag. Mailbag. Mail bag.

All right, if you have a question, you can go to our website, click to submit a question button in the top right. If you have a quick trade question, waiver questions, start sit, that type of thing. You can get those through directly to us. You can also call us 302464 TFFB, and we will place some of those voicemails on the show. All right, C-C-in-Chicago says he is down 19 points, and the other guy is done. He has either Abdullah or Rawls in its flex spot.

Full Point PPR. And oh, by the way, the guy I'm playing married my ex. He got me there. I need to get him here. What? Thanks and great show. Wow. In a full point PPR. This sounds like Jerry Springer's shore over here. Yeah, well. I am more confident about Abdullah than the majority. So I would play Abdullah. And that is, I know that's bold. And you can rip me for it. You need 19.

I'm playing Abdullah for the big score and the pass catching. Are you going to get 19 points with one score out of Abdullah? Do you think he can get one touchdown and still get 19 points? So he needs two touchdowns in order to do it? No, he doesn't need two touchdowns. He needs one. I thought you meant like a one play or something. No, no, no. Yeah, he needs one score. And he'll catch enough through the air and a full point PPR to get 19. Maybe. I would go rolls. Okay. I think I have to leave rolls too. I want to come back to this tomorrow. Yeah. Obviously, we're going to see the game tonight. I, uh,

I doubt any of us want to water that down. No, no. It's a tough call. In a full point PPR, I don't think Rawls catches a pass. I mean, he's going to have to score two touchdowns. Yes. But what I think is more likely is Rawls goes for 102 than Abdullah getting the 19 points. That's fine. I mean, it's a completely split down the middle for me. I mean, I don't really know. I'm just going to play the, at least Abdullah can bust a 67-yard screen pass or something. Sure.

Evan and Livingston says has to start three running backs in week five doesn't know what to do, non-PPR, choose three out of Jamal Charles, Arian Foster, Devonza Freeman, and Justin Forsett. Wow, that's, we're kind of early for the week. We're still in week four. However, so you got to sit one. It's an interesting question for people now who are looking at trades and looking at things that they want to set up. I don't even know what the match. So you, yeah, I can tell you. Okay.

Charles is in, regardless. So the Falcons play the Redskins. And obviously you're playing Jamal Charles, especially against the Bears. You're playing Aryan Foster, I think, on Thursday night. I think, yeah. I would be playing him over Fawcett and over. Yeah, the Raiders play the Broncos, which is a bad, oh, I'm looking. The Ravens play the Browns. Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, that's what I was looking for. Did somebody get traded to the Raiders that I don't know about?

I think... I go Charles Foster Freeman. Yeah, I... Charles... I definitely go Charles and I go Freeman. To me, the Thursday night, Aryan is a little scary, but I lean him over Fawcett. I agree. Adrian in Syracuse. Adrian! Yeah, wasn't he in New York, too? No, he's in Washington, D.C. What? Rocky. Philadelphia. Oh, it was. And Adrian was a girl. She.

Do you know how much... I said, wasn't he in New York? He was referring to Rocky. Yeah, I know. I just want... You were, too. Yeah, but I want to let you know that you probably can never show your face in Philadelphia again. It'll be all right. No, it won't. Someone in my 10-man PPR League offered me this trade. Marshaun Lynch and Thomas Rawls for Justin Forsett. I have Forset. Should I stay true to Forset, or do I take advantage of Forset's big day this past Thursday? Great question. I take...

Lynch and Rolls. Me too. Yeah, I think so. All right, Dr. Indray. Figure that one out. Do I trade away Jarvis Landry and Jeremy Hill for C.J. Anderson and Amari Cooper. Cooper? Cooper. We need to speak about C.G. Anderson. I don't know why he wasn't in the poop section. Because he didn't poop. He just, he had an average game. He did? Yeah. An average game? Yeah.

He opened with a 27-yard catch, and I think he had 40 on the ground or so. So it wasn't a fine game. It wasn't an RB1 like you're hoping from C.J. Anderson. Yeah, it was an RB3. He was the 32nd running back. Okay. All right. So what do you do with this trade? Landry and Hill for C.J. N. Cooper. I stay with Landry and Hill. Yeah, I think I agree. Yeah.

I'd rather have Cooper than Landry, but I'd rather have Hill than Anderson. I agree, but I like the idea of getting Cooper somehow. So you can do the... Let's get a little bit of Mr. Cooper. Exactly. Matt in Manassas. What? Manassas? Where do these people live? They... We may come up. Just kidding. All right. Matt says won my matchup this week based on the last minute edition of Charles Clay. Oh, nice. Thanks for the tip.

Got an offer. I give up Jimmy Graham and get Emmanuel Sanders. I feel like Graham's production is going to plummet, giving the spread of targets in Seattle. Do you take this deal? Yes. I would. I would take it in a heartbeat. If you have Charles Clay, I'm okay with that. Yeah. I'm okay with that. I would take it. Would you take it if he did not have another alternate at tied-in? Most people found Charles Clay on the waivers this week, and I think you're going to be able to do that.

in an average week, so I would still do it. But Charles Clay makes it a slam dunk for me. All right, that's it for the mailbag section. What do we want to tell the people?
