Week 6 Matchups + Ertz Traded, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/15

Fantasy Face Off, presented by Draft Kings. That could still be a trap for two reasons. Number one, Arizona's defense has been outstanding against running backs. Fantasy points giving up. We're still giving up a very high yards per carry, though. But number two, Kareem Hunt historically has not been as good when Nick Chub missed. I mean, he hasn't. I had him last year during all of the missed Nick Chub games. It was not a treat.

He had the opportunity to do what we thought he was going to do, which is just be a top five absolute dominating force while Chubb was down. He didn't do that. However, we've seen the same thing with Alexander Madison. He had the opportunity. He failed. Smaller sample size with Madison. And then this year, he's really come through. So there is still hope that Hunt becomes a top five guy. I don't think he's a top five guy this week. I think he's a great play this week, though. Great.

Well, let's move on. Fantasy Faceoff here brought to you by Drive Kings. Last week, I whipped your booty. Yeah. Most people's booty. I had a great, I had a great lineup. Yes. And you whipped my booty. I mean, I cashed everywhere with this lineup. Last week, your lineup that you set for this Fantasy Faceoff finished. What was? 22. 22 in the Millie Maker. So that's like 200,000 lineups? Yeah. So.

Not only did you beat the two of us. But who's counting? It was one of the best lineups possible for the week. My favorite part was, well, two things. I got a lot of tweets that people are like, I just played your lineup and I won a bunch of money and that's cool. But the other fun tweets were like, why didn't you share this lineup with us?

Because when they found out I finished 22nd, they're like, they're like, why don't you put this out there anywhere? What? To which you replied, why don't you listen to our Friday episodes? I was like, it's literally the show, the lineup I announced on the show. Those people would have got muted. Mike, you ended up at the basement because Jason did have a pretty good week. And so. Thanks, Leviska. Congratulations. Let's do it. Will of shame.

Now, last time you had the messy lipstick, right, when I had the privilege of... Yeah, that was good. That was a good time. All right, let's spin it again, Al. Oh, boy. Okay, so we got the fedoras. Heather hat, farmer hat. Baby bonnet. Uncle Sam. Oh, we got a clown wig. Clown wig. Well, I got some accessories, too. Don't worry about that. There's some, there's clown accessories? I hope so.

Yeah, so they're bundled inside the wig. I mean, you're going to have to switch hats here. You've got to get rid of your son's hat. Well, I got to figure out how to get inside this thing. Oh, beautiful. I love the bow ties. All right. So for those listening at home, number one, you just go to our YouTube. So there's the wig, a boat. I got to go bowtie first, I suppose. You do. You got to slip that one over.

Oh, this is outstanding. You got the big bowtie, the white gloves, the clown wig, and I think best of all. I didn't know that you were going to have me dress up as Matt Nagy. The red nose. Yeah, the gloves are, I mean, those are optional. But now get the, you need the nose on. Well, okay. It's clutch. Does it fit? Oh, baby. Oh, yeah. Looking good, Mike. Bozo over here. This is the worst.

Yeah, who's taking your opinion serious this week? Anybody starting to line up from that guy? All right. I'm telling you, you can't miss. Hon-hung. Delightful. Oh, man, those gloves. I don't know if they're going to fit you. They look tiny. Oh, no, they're good. They're good. He's putting them on. All right, let's see. I'll get into the lineup here. Oh, my goodness. Who do you have a quarterback, Andy? Is it going to surprise anybody? Yeah, it is. I have Joe Burrow.

I took Joe Burrow at quarterback. I had thought about going. I can't use my computer with the gloves. Oh, man, I love winning. Winning is fun. I went Joe Burrow. I thought he was the right balance between affordability and upside. I like it. He's my start of the week. The Detroit matchup, the big playability, the stack. So I went, I went Joe Burrow against Detroit.

I'm curious, Jason. You were thinking about an expensive and a cheap option. Which did you go with? I had really thought about building around Taylor Heineke, but then this is a cash version. And that's something worth at least saying on the show. Like, I know people played this lineup in the Millie Maker, and it did well. But we're building these actually for more cash games to beat two people versus beating $200,000.

I went Patrick Mahomes against Washington, who's been giving it up without, you know, Clyde Edwards-A-Layer there. I think Mahomes coming off a loss. I just want all those points in cash. He's expensive at 8300, but it was worth it. And I assume, Mike, did you go Mahomes as well? Beep, beep. I took Mahomes too. Oh, really? You both have Mahomes. Boop. All right. And running back, I went with.

I kind of got a Bob Ross thing. You do have a little bit of a Bob Ross. But like a real colorful. Bozo Ross. Yes. I went Austin Echler and Daryl Henderson. So Austin Eccler against Baltimore staying in the flames with the value, PPR. And then Daryl Henderson against New York, who was my start of the week at running back. So I went Austin Echler as well. Oh, boy. Great PPR option. And Jonathan Taylor against Houston. Those are my two running backs. Not bad.

All right, we have a little bit of overlap. I also have Daryl Henderson at 6. I can't take yourself seriously. I got Henderson and I went, I went with DeAndre Swift at 6,300. I can't look at you. DeAndre Smith. All right, my whiteouts, Devante Adams. You ever heard of him? I went with Devante Adams. Oh, that guy, you're going back to that well? I'm spinning up on that. You coward? Yeah, and then I'm going Jamar Chase to stack with Joe Burrow. Okay. Against Detroit. Big play.

And then I went with DeAndre Carter. I went with the very bargain basement $3,000 DeAndre Carter for Washington. It's a scary pick, but it'll let me spend up elsewhere. Yeah. Well, it was a scary pick for me as well. DeAndre Carter for 3,000. I can't wait for Diami Brown to play. Well, I mean, McLaurin went off to the sideline this week. Against Kansas City at 3,000, which is the basement for wide receivers. He's a good value. I also have Jamar Chase. Oh, boy. So the difference, you've got three. Devont. Beant.

You've got Devante Adams. I've got Keenan Allen. All right. So I do, I have Jamar Chase for my Patrick Mahomes super stack. I'm going with a budding superstar McCole Hardman. Okay. Who saw a bunch of targets last week. He's only 4,200. And currently I have Terry McLauran in at 7,100. But we'll see if he actually plays if I have to pivot that decision or not. All right. At tight end.

I'll give you my tight end, my flex, and my defense. My tight end is Ricky Seals Jones for Washington. So I'm looking at peripheral targets in Washington outside of McLaren in that matchup with Kansas City. There's so much snot in this clown nose right now. That's terrible. What's wrong with your nose? Stop blowing snide to it. It's just, it's giving me a runny nose and it's got nowhere to run. Oh, stay away.

Rondale Moore. I'm taking the shot on Rondale Moore in my flex position against Cleveland, and then I'm going with the Colts defense against Houston. All right. I also have Ricky Seals Jones at tight end. You have Carter. Oh, we all have Jones? Yeah, because he's 3,000. He's 3,000, and he's going to get a lot of targets against Kansas City. I've got Daryl Williams at my flex. Okay.

At 4,900 Chiefs. Yep, running back for the Chiefs. Very good value. And the Carolina Panthers defense against Minnesota at home for 2,900. I have Ricky Seals Jones, as I mentioned. And then I have Brandon Cooks taking on the Colts at 5,800. And for my defense, I am reluctantly playing the Cleveland Browns against my Arizona Cardinals.
