Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Wk 15 Studs, Duds, Rising Stars, Championship Prep

in Minnesota, and he was fantasy relevant, and everybody paid attention to him. They weren't a winless team. It doesn't matter if they were winless or not. The point is, as 12 prior was fantasy relevant this year on an 0 and 14 team with a variety of quarterbacks. My point is if you bring him into another team that has other weapons, you might Devante Adams him, where you don't know what's going to happen. It's a good point in the sense that RG3, you know, with this O line, is not playing 16 games ever.

So if he's there next year, and he's not. I mean, in my opinion, Hugh Jackson is moving on from RG3 this week. Hugh Jackson's goal right now is the best chance to win one game so they do not have this on their resume as a winless team. To me, that's going to be a better quarterback than RG3. They play San Diego at home next week. That's their only chance to win a game unless Pittsburgh sits starters in week 16. That's their only chance. So next week at home against San Diego, it'll be.

Josh McCown. They're not beating San Diego. It'll be someone off the street. All right. Adam, Thielen, took a huge shot over the middle. Big shot. Ruled out with the neck injury. Yeah, that was brutal. L. Green is in the concussion protocol. This is rough. Now, Laderius Green, if you remember over the off season, there was, he didn't play at the beginning of the year, and there was this shroud of confusion.

Was he dealing with his ankle surgery? Was he still having concussion problems? He was going to retire because of his concussion problems. So this is something you have to monitor. There's no concussion here? What are you looking at? That was what came out afterwards. He has, I don't know, this is only the ankle. But obviously he, I mean, this is serious. I think he'll miss. I mean. He could. This is the reminder. The games are on Saturday. Everybody is on a short week. Everybody.

Except the, I guess, except the Steelers because they're on Sunday, so I'm a buffoon. I was just waiting for you to figure that out on your own. All right. Any other news you guys want to mention? It's still, oh, yeah, there's huge news. Oh, yeah. I skipped it. A.J. Green. Expected to play in week 16, barring an unexpected setback. You could see Julio and Greenback for championship week, and one of the two could accidentally ruin your week. That's going to be sweet in your consolation bracket. How about this, man? How about, I mean.

If you have them, I hope you were able to withstand victories and get there. But AJ Green, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, Alshan Jeffrey. These guys all might be relevant for the championship week. The game is back. You see the folk clan member that lost with the final Derek Carr double kneel downs? They should really genuinely. They should take those out. They should point adjust those on Thursdays to make those not negative running plays. They don't make.

They don't make a kneel down when it's one yard behind. You know, when they take a victory formation, they don't make that. Yeah, they do. That's what we're talking about. You were thinking if he does that out of the shotgun. Yeah, they do it anyway. That's so dumb. I mean, but you can't change that. That's yards. I mean, if it counts yards in the box square. It's just this story wouldn't happen without it. Now it's sad for him. It's great entertainment. That is brutal, man. This week's fantasy stud muffins.

All right, Mike, pumped the brakes on people pumping the brakes on Drew Breeze. And for good reason, hopefully you had the confidence to start him. 37 for 48 for 389 and four touchdowns in a high-scoring affair with the Arizona Cardinals in Arizona. Believe they called a schlobber knocker. Yeah. Yeah. That's what you call it. That's what the Germans call it. I did not get to see the entirety of this game from the stadium. Oh, no. From the stadium.

You were there. I bought some tickets for my son and I, my eight-year-old. It was our first game ever together. Played football in the parking lot. He got to see the big stadium. He wasn't sure if it'd be bigger than the Sun's Stadium. It's a little bit. A little bit bigger. And then as Mike and I are in the studio watching all the games we can take in, taking our notes, doing our thing, this is middle of the second quarter. Yeah, it's about half time by now. It was, okay, it was.

approaching half time in the second quarter and we look over and there the door is Andy Holloway and his son going wait aren't you at the game that is 30 minutes away from here? Yeah. Yeah, we ate a lot of food and maybe the little guy ate a little too much. Got a little overwhelmed by everything, which I don't blame him. It's intense. We also ended up in seats that the sun.

So they had the stadium open and the sun just happened to like fall on like one 30th of the seats in the stadium, but it was the ones we were in. So we had a beating down on us the whole game. And I don't know if all the food and stuff, he just didn't feel too good. So he asked to leave a little early. Yep. But this happens. It happens. Well, you missed out on. We had a good time. We had a good time. We had a good time. It's just dominating. All right. In, uh, other five. Oh, wait.

Matt Moore, Matt Moore, 12 for 18, 236, and 4. Talk about efficiency. Breeze did it in 48 attempts. Matt Moore did it in 18 attempts. That means one third of his completed passes were touchdowns. They certainly were. And the New York Jets, you can pass on them. It does not matter if you are a backup quarterback who's not started a game in five years. Is that you can pass on them in the draft next year or two? Is that skip over the Jets? Probably. Tough game.

Uh, dolphins are right in it now. Yep. No drop off from Tanna Hill to Matt Moore. Well, against the Jets. We'll see how he works out next week. Is that what Tannehill is saying in the backyard? It's against the Jets, guys. I'm still better. Do you know who gets to play the New York Jets next week? Who? Oh, he's a guy that was in our pooped in the big boy pants section. He was just so bad. He's not a good quarterback. Thomas Brady. Oh, my goodness. Hopefully you survived the Tom Brady.

We'll talk about him. Well, you knew it was going to be rough for him. Yeah. Russell Wilson, 19 for 26, 229 and 3. Nice bounce back. Nice to see that performance at home against the Rams as Arizona, who just gave up 48 points to the Saints next week at home. Carson Palmer had a good game, 318 and 2. It was a shootout. What did you call it? Schlobber knocker? Yeah, it was one of those.

That J.J. Nelson missed the drop touchdown. I mean, they ended up scoring. Yeah. Oh, you didn't see that? Yeah. And it missed that single play. Yeah. When they were driving at the very end after they got wide open got a hosed on a rough in the passer when they were sacking the quarterback because you have to sack the quarterback gently. Yeah. Gently. You have to. Yeah. But then, yeah, JJ dropped a bomb. He seriously did? Yes. Yeah. Honorable mentions here. Matt Ryan.

Good game. This is what, but it could have been just humongous. I mean, Yovante Freeman ran three in. This was the slight concern for Matt Ryan over the weekend was not that he's going to be bad by any stretch. It was just his upside might be limited because they'll be able to run so efficiently. And unfortunately for, if you were playing Matt Ryan, you're looking at this.

huge potential of a game, but you only got two touchdowns and 286. Andrew Luck certainly needs to be mentioned because I know a lot of people were low on him going to Minnesota. He had a great game. 21 for 28, 250, and two touchdowns. No picks. Yeah. Kaepernick. Kaepernick did. He did well. It was all right. Yeah. All right. I mean, there was a lot of bad quarterback. So he's worth mentioning. I want to mention the running backs here in a second. I also want us to lay.

Give a little lay of the land of our own leagues and what we're depending on tonight. Oh, yeah. Mike's got some stuff. We all have stuff going on tonight to see whether we'll make some championship games in these leagues. But first, but first. I do want to thank today's sponsor.

Yeah, and we also want to tell you about texture, a great app for all of the magazine lovers out there.

Do you guys, you guys see this fantasy footballer's family bingo game? Yes, I did. That one of our listeners made? I'm playing it right now. You're playing the game right now? Mm-hmm. Did you see some of these options on here? I've already adjusted my mic.

I've definitely adjusted my mic. I like that one of them as Andy looks at his watch. Yeah, because you're a jerk. Somebody says, and you always do that. Yeah. My watch, my watch gives me news. Any mention of Brooks, anytime we say handcuff, anytime Jason flubs his words. Is this count right now if people are playing? No, it doesn't. Asking for a friend. Mention of Rule 86. Wait, technical difficulty.

It happens. Yeah, no, I really like it. It was a fun, fun little family game there. Reference to Mike's Man Bun. I tried not to reference Mike's Man Bun as often as possible. I think I retweeted that out. So if you want to play the family bingo, you can go to my Twitter page and, uh, and download it. There's also a grown up version for New Year's Eve. Uh, yeah, a drinking game. Yep. All right, running backs, stud muffins. We just talked about him. Um,

Three drinks if you had. This week's Levi-on-Bel. My goodness. 20 for 139 and 3. And he fumbled on the one. If you remember that. Yeah. And you know what they didn't do? They didn't bench him. They didn't go, oh, you need to learn your lesson. Because that was earlier in the game. And then he just went crazy. He's like, lesson learned. What coin do you flip to figure out the Freeman Coleman? Yeah, that was rough. I really expected Coleman to get in on some of that. He had an okay game, Tevin Coleman did.

Not comparatively when you look at Freeman. You said it great last week, Andy, when we had a question of a lineup decision. And you said start both in this lineup, start both Kevin Coleman and Devante Freeman because you don't want to miss it. You don't want to miss whoever it is that explodes. And we said, you know, together they will both have a good total week because you know one of them is going to explode. And so hopefully you, I mean, I don't know. Yeah, you start them both. You've gotten more than.

Two good games from running backs. LaShawn McCoy, monster game. He's just really good. And yet, Mike, for 153 and two. Mike's still complaining that he gets vultured by Gillisley. Well, because he did at the beginning of the game. I mean, you had two touchdowns for Gillisley again, right? One. Oh, one. I believe it was one, but I mean, they got in the red zone early. Yeah, he got stuffed one time. And they, they fell apart. They had a kick of field going. It's just, I don't know. Maybe it's the fantasy bias, but it's why. I know it, it does.

It has worked for them, but it also has failed for them. Meanwhile, you go, they're inside the 10. I think Shady had two touches inside the 10. Both of them turned into touchdowns because he's so good. He's very, very tired from running 50 yards at a time. 50 yards at a time. Tie Montgomery, the full Monty. Yeah. We'll be talking about him a little bit more in a minute. 16 for 162 and 2. Has Minnesota and Detroit on the schedule, but clearly.
