The TRUTH About Fantasy QBs in 2020, Part 1 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/19

the thing that they have spent their whole life trying to get to. And the weather, the weather is the thing that completely changes this game. Because if you had just regular wins, there's no way on the earth that Justin Tucker misses those two field goals and almost misses the third one. When the passing game was destroyed, I mean, but for both teams for the majority of the game. This was a three, three game at halftime. It's just unfortunate that.

that such an external force can have such a great impact on the game and other people like it i hate it yeah i mean this is this is almost the essence the weather uh in games is like the essence of fantasy football where

On paper, you want to reduce the amount of variables that you have. So there are certain people that can't handle in not being able to play out on paper. There's others that embrace the effect that there's the variable that, you know, the snow game, the wind game, the rain game, the slosh game, whatever. You know, I imagine that the mud game is the same.

offensive coordinator that wants to get the beef in there and run it up the middle. I think that they like the same thing. What's super funny about it is the irony of the Ravens were the team built for this game. And over on Buffalo, the running backs saw nine total carries and the stallion threw the ball 37 times. It was another example, though, of great coaching because Buffalo didn't have the personnel. They lost Zach Moss. They don't run the football a lot anyways. And they didn't pretend to.

They came into the game and they said, well, let's see. Derek Henry couldn't run against the Ravens. We have Devon Singletary and we haven't run all year. So why mess around with this concept of I want to be perceived as having balance, right? Instead, you know. Or just do the thing we do the best. Yeah, exactly. We'll do that the whole time, man. The team establish it was, I can't imagine being those guys watching that game. Yeah. You got to run the ball.

Well, and there are different ways to run through the air. We talk about that a lot, too. You can throw the ball short. You see Drew Brees do it all the time. Speaking to which, Tampa Bay got by New Orleans, that was a tough game to watch, Drew Brees, if it's his final game. I will say this, that for fantasy players, Michael Thomas had no catches. Yeah, it was I saw a very funny tweet. I can't remember. It might have been a Denny Carter tweet, but he was saying, like, it was.

Michael Thomas choosing to retire the same game that Drew Brees does. That's a team player or something like that. It was an excellent tweet. I want to know where Thomas goes in drafts next year. It's going to be a very interesting situation with Michael Thomas and what to expect, whether it's Tayson Hill behind center or not. Is it James? Is it someone we don't even know? Yeah. It's wild. I think that was the end. Is it Deshaun Watson? No. I don't think they don't have the money for that. Yeah, I don't think they can.

pull that off uh but it i believe that was the last game for drew breeze and i love i love watching drew play but i hope that was i hope that's his last game that that was like that looked like the manning season where his arm just it was gone which is another testament to the leader in air yards in all the football tom brady who just continues to yeah he takes if it wasn't such a terrible sounding diet i would do it

Because it clearly works. Yeah. If you want to play longer, don't eat meat. Just go plants. Green Bay, 32, Los Angeles, 18. This game was pretty well in hand for Green Bay throughout. They maintained the momentum. It got close at times. Goff had one opportunity to kind of come down and tie the game. But Green Bay, just so disciplined. And, you know, 13 and 3 season yet again. And now we get Brady versus Aaron Rogers.

Yeah, it's a fantastic match. I'm very much looking forward to it. Did you hear Sean McVeigh? When asked, is Jared Gough your quarterback, essentially just said, we're evaluating everything right now. So the honeymoon period of Jared Gough and Sean McVeigh has come to an end.

Yep, that will be very interesting. Getting into some coaching news, now we do have a coaching changes episode in the next few weeks where we will get into the details of each of these head coaching changes and how it will affect fantasy and their proclivities as, you know, offensive coordinators, if that's the case. However, right now it's just the news. Urban Meyer is an NFL head coach.

Jacksonville has hired Urban Meyer who's assembling a staff. They'll take Trevor Lawrence at 101. You're not buying in on Urban Meyer drafting Justin Fields? Well, I doubt it. I doubt it. But either way, he's got the first pick. And it's interesting. It's a good storyline for football, in my opinion, having him arrive in Jacksonville as opposite of Doug Marone as you can get in terms of the identity of your team.

Right. Arthur Smith, Texans offensive coordinator. Oh, we've got an Arthur. He's got a plan for the Falcons, head coach, brand new head coach of Atlanta. We're still there with Red Dead. Sure, why not? Arthur Smith has a plan, new head coach for Atlanta. We're off to Tahiti. Now, who did the Jets hire? The Jets have a new head coach that's not Adam Gays.

That is correct. Robert Sala is the head coach. This is interesting because now, so you go to the defensive side. Which is what they had with bowls right before they went Adam Gaze. Right. And this is what teams do. I mean, they flip flop. I think he's, I think he's a really good coach. I mean, his players clearly want to play for him. Yeah. Seeing an interview with Richard Sherman, because you know, Sherman does those things with Collinsworth all the time.

Sherman is firmly entrenched in Roberts Corner. Like he's saying that this dude is going to be a head coach next year and he's going to be great. Maybe he'll follow him to New York. Maybe. I don't think they have the money to pay Sherman and bring him back. Right. But I think that he, I think we're going to see some success in New York. The question is they have a very high pick.

Do they spend that somewhere else, or do they take a quarterback and move on from Sam Darnold? Well, under the gays principle of success when he departs, I don't know if you get rid of Sam Darnold right out of the gate. It's a tough decision for this team. It is. You know, what would you do? Do you like Justin Fields enough? Well, I don't, I don't, yeah, yeah, I would take Justin Fields. I would make the move. And I know that.

This is perfect. This is a perfect smokescreen. When Kingsbury was hired and the Cardinals had the number one overall pick. Oh, yeah. Josh Rosen is our guy. Yeah. He was their guy all the way up until they got that pick in. And then he was no longer their guy. So right now, Sam Donald is the guy for the Jets. I don't know if that makes it in the season. It's pretty difficult to pass on the opportunity for a franchise quarterback when you're there because you're not there very often. Right.

Generally. Guns Mahoney. Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell likes the sloppy weather, Mike. Dan Campbell likes to run it up the middle. Dan Campbell is going to be the new head coach for the Detroit football lions. We call him Guns Mahoney and now he's back in the limelight. This one is bizarre that he has made it all his way back. That was the Dolphins, right? That he was the interim head coach.

Apparently editor-in-chief Kyle the Borgogan and Brooks, they love the Guns Mahoney nickname. The Guns Mahoney nickname, this came out because when we were doing the show, and it felt like the dolphins were just kept flip-flopping through coaches. And I didn't know what Dave Gamble's name. I was just like, I got this new guy.

Because he's guns Mahoney because this dude is so shredded, man. And he's still huge. Yes, no doubt about it. Yeah. Good for you, Mahoney. He did have a, I know a pouncy and a number of the players on that team love him back in the Miami Day. So we'll see what happens in Detroit, whether this team can ever, you know, establish the run as we will say. Oh, they're going to try. They're going to try.

D. Swift. Apparently, the charges are hiring former's Rames, defensive coordinator, Brandon Staley, as their next head coach. So we have another head coach there. And the Steelers have promoted quarterback's coach Matt, Canada. Oh, Canada. Two offensive coordinator. Bonjour. Yeah, bonjour. Yes, bonjour. All right. And we talked about Adam Gage and our hopes and dreams. And again, I want to stress Seattle.

Oh, yeah. If there's anything that I can do to make this happen, if you need a subsidy on the salary to pay him, to bring him in. We're in. My family's willing. We're willing to help. And then the last thing, just in the Rumorville, because the Deshaun Watson situation just continues to heat up. It has heated up to the point where even Adam Schefter says he tweeted out that there's growing sentiment. Deshaun Watson has played his last snap for the team.

Oh, man. And you had the whispers that Eric Bienimi from the Chiefs is going to be interviewing for that Texan job. I really hope he gets it. I think, I wonder if the enemy gets the job. I wonder if that would be enough to get Watson back on board with the Texans. Yeah, I know that there's a lot of negative. They would be great together. Yeah, there's a lot of negative thoughts here, a lot of belief that Watson won't be back. I think that the pathway.

that makes the most sense is for them to fire their general manager and to, you know, hire BNAMI and move forward at that point in time with Watson. I think that's the one way they could keep him. It'd be a shame for them to lose. I mean, I can't imagine being a Houston fan. Yeah, I can't either. I mean, lose Hopkins and then Watson. Oh, oh, brother. No. Don't do that to our friends in Houston.

No, even, look, it was funny when we got Hopkins, but this is too far. Yeah, this is too far. Before we move into the top 10 quarterbacks, we're going to talk the truth about the top 10 quarterbacks. Here's the truth about your hair. When you are confident, you do not settle for anything less than 100. Are you the kind of person who takes everything up to 100? You got to get that hair game on point. Take that to 100. Headed shoulders gives you up to 100% dander of protection.

That means if you use it regularly, you could prevent up to 100% of visible flakes and get that hair that looks 100% amazing. Andy, you know who took it up to 100 this weekend? Chad Henny. Hennie? There's the shirts going around. Anything is possible already. Anything is possible. Oh, is that a little Kevin Garnett mixed in there? That's right. That's right. Oh, look, what do you take up to 100? Your obsession over your draft picks, your analysis of player stats.

your superstitious rituals on game days, whatever you do, make sure your hair is there with you. Take your hair up to 100 with head and shoulders available online at Walmart.
