Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Fantasy Impact of Coaching Changes, News & Mailbag

To play each other. Yeah. That would be, that'd make for a nice Thursday night football game. And I believe there is a 100% chance of him not being on the Rams. So yeah, he's, no, he's going to be done. All right. David and St. Louis has a question for a standard 12 team league, $200 auction budget, three wide receiver set up, and he's already keeping Gurley for $29. So that's the lay of the land. All right. Needs help with the second keeper, guys. Amari Cooper is $24. John Brown's 12. Tavon Austin, six, Josh Gordon, six.

What do you think? Hopefully you don't have to make your decision right now, but for Josh Gordon for $6, I'm in on that. If you can't, or if you've got to make it early, or if Josh Gordon doesn't get reinstated, then I think I would pony up the dough for Amari Cooper. Yeah, Cooper is my pick here. Either way. Either way. If Josh Gordon's back. If you knew Gordon was back.

I don't mind you doing it, but you still have a lot of uncertainty with his return that is just not built into Omari Cooper. Right. So it would be real close then. And so that's why I say it's just going to be Cooper for me at that price. It's a two-person race for me for Gordon and Cooper. I would lean towards Gordon. If it's just a two-keeper situation, I'm going to be aggressive with that of getting the value of the money.

The difference of the money between Gordon and Cooper because then I have more money for more opportunity during the draft. Yep. All right. Ryan in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. That's national championship country. Ooh. All right. Need to know who to use his last keeper spot on. He's narrowed it down to Jarvis Landry, Alshan Jeffrey, and Martavis Bryant. Ooh. Any advice would be appreciated, and it's important to know it's a full point per reception, which makes Landry...

A mighty nice. More valuable. But this one is easy to me. There are chances for regression for Jarvis Landry. And you know that I'm high on Martavis Bryant. But to me, the guy's got to be Alshan Jeffrey. He is the best wide receiver of this group. And I can't imagine that he is as injured next year as he was this. There's no reason he wouldn't catch as many passes as Landry if he was healthy. And he represents more touchdowns.

Remember. Remember how great Al Sharfrey was. Remember the Jeffrey. Yeah. Do you ever see that movie, Denzel? Remember the Jeffries? Remember the Jeffrey? There was a speech in that movie. It was really powerful. All right. Jeff in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Last week, you guys told the truth about 2015 quarterbacks where they finished in the final rankings. He kept wondering if I had streamed...

a quarterback every week in 2015, like the footballers suggest. How would I have done? In other words, would your QB streamers totaled up over the year have finished in the 2015 rankings of quarterbacks? And the reason I asked this is because we each had a streamer every week. So there were three per week for the entire season. And so I am putting it out there to the foot client to figure that out. Yeah, go. Well, you would.

What we would have to do, because we did not, I didn't total up where our guys finished. I know we were very successful in picking our guys. One of our...

kind of the way we run it is like Andy said, we each pick one and we do that intentionally to show you that there are multiple options. We're not saying, okay, this is our guy and we're going to calculate. Yeah, we like him more than Kirk Couss this week. Maybe we can do that for next year. Well, no, because the point is this is we might have a streamer that's Kirk Cousins, but he's available in some people's leagues and not in another person's league. And so we give you multiple options, not because we think each one is equal, but because everybody's league is different.

and there are different guys available. Yeah, you need the variety so that listeners are saying, hey, here's our favorite guy this week. We did that a little bit. I'm saying going into next year, we can do, we can everyone pick one so we have three options. And one is the consensus. Consensus guy. And we can figure out where he would finish. Yeah. And it was. It was a good year. You had a lot of guys that had opportunities to against the right defenses. We had several weeks where we had the number one or number two guy. I tell you what, none of the teams.

our listeners that won titles, came to us and said, boy, it was because I took Andrew Luck in the first round and tell you what, he really cared. Unless that walked you right into Kirk Cousins or somebody. Yeah, there were a lot of Kirk Cousins championship winners. All right. And once again, just to, we'll talk about this more on the streaming quarterbacks. We recommend you take a quarterback late because they are, you can get guys late that could turn into a weekly starter. Carson Palmer.

Exactly. That's the goal. The goal is to find that Carson Palmer in the 10th round or so. The goal is not just to stream because you feel cool doing it. No. You stream if your first initial draft pick doesn't pay off. If you can draft Aaron Rogers in the third or fourth round, go do it. And then play them all you if it were me. That's fine. It's what you're giving up.

for a potential failure there. All right. Jordan in Lancaster, Pennsylvania has a question. 14-man, half-point PPR League. Get to keep one keeper, fifth round, or later. Here are the options, pick one. Todd Gurley and Thomas Rawls. Martavis, Bryant, Gary Barnish, Dionne Lewis. Pick one? Yeah, what is the round, though? Fifth round or later draft position? So those are his options. We don't know the actual cost.

He picked all these guys after the fifth. So I'm going to go Todd Gurley. If it's just even, Mike would take Thomas Rawls over Gurley. Really? Uh, maybe. I'm trying to put words in his mouth to see how he reacts. No, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's close, but it, I would still go with Gurley in this situation. I just thought I'd test it.

I just wanted to see what would happen. So that does it for today's show. Again, you can go to the website, the fancy footballers.com. Make sure you stay tuned for the show after the show. I don't think we know exactly what we're talking about yet. I got a very, very...

unique story to share. Oh, that is true. Yeah, you will not want to miss this story. I laughed. You're doing that story? I laughed so loud that I almost ruined my voice for the show because of how wonderful that is. So stay tuned. That's only on YouTube. Check us out on there. Thanks for listening to the podcast today. We'll be back next week. Have a great one, Foot Clan. Yeah, have a tremendous weekend, everybody. Goodbye. Bye.
