Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Sits of the Week, Stat Quiz, Week 11 Mailbag

That's the truth. We don't really know the workload for either guy. I mean, we haven't seen Stevie other than one game without Keenan Allen, and Amandola has been involved, but that offense kind of changes. If I had to bet on one, I think I'm betting on Amandola. Me too. I would bet on Amadola. I'm very in between. Here's the way that I break it down, and I believe I will be right in this. Stevie Johnson is going to have a more consistent floor. I can't imagine a game where Stevie Johnson goes out and only gets...

four points because game flow didn't work his direction. He is going to be a heavily targeted, but not a whole lot of yards per target type of guy. And he'll be useful. He'll be in your lineup as a flex and be okay. So it's touchdowns to you. It's the potential of a touchdowns? For him. Yeah, but for Amandola, I could see games where Amidola still finishes with four points, two points.

But Amadola's upside is just clearly so much higher because of Tom Brady, because of that offense. I just don't want to oversell Amandola because they could bring somebody else into the mix. Kishon Martin or Scott Chandler could get more involved or all of a sudden James Wye. It's just I want to temper that. I'm really on the fence. I don't know the answer. That's the truth. We don't know the answer to that question. If you want upside, go Amidola. If you just need a consistent third option, that's very fair. That's very fair. Johnny and Austria, hey, mate.

sitting nine and one gearing up for the playoffs trade justin for set for mark ingram straight up yeah yeah mark ingram you want mark ingram he's got a great end of season schedule he's more consistent he's got goal line carries he's even catching passes as many as justin for set has been as long as he's healthy so drew in saskatchewan bonjour yeah what these are all like we are an international show here i guess so man a lot of these are international

Where am I, Drew? All right. Thank you for all you do. Listen to you every day. Use the advice. Need to pick a quarterback for the rest of the season. Is it Carson Palmer or is it Philip Rivers? As one of those guys has been playing great, one of those guys have been playing very poorly. And I'm going to take the one that's playing poorly because this is fantasy football, not real football. And in fantasy football, Philip Rivers gets to end the season.

I don't know anymore. I don't know. I don't know anymore. Well, let's, let's, I'm going to go Carson Palmer because Carson Palmer's shown that he's matchup proof. And Philip Rivers, here, let me, here's this face off. Kansas City's his next game. Okay. Then you have Jacksonville, Denver, Kansas City, Miami, Oakland. So in the playoffs, you've got Kansas City. In Kansas City Arrowhead. Okay. That's, that's a brutal matchup. Yeah, I don't, I don't love it. You've got Miami. Miami and Oakland are fine.

And then what's Carson Palmer's playoff schedule? That's what I care about. Palmer's playoff schedule is Minnesota, Philadelphia, and Green Bay. Two of three at home. Yeah, I'm going to take Phillip Rivers by a hair. I'm going to take Palmer. Not in a bet on there, really, but I think... Both good options. I've just seen enough from Palmer in big games now that I think he can do it. I agree with the matchup proof. In fact, he has a better fantasy points per game against...

top half-pass defenses than he does against the bottom half-pass defenses. Wow. So there you go. So that just feeds to your point. Yeah, it's going to be close. I mean, we've seen from Rivers that win or lose, he gets his numbers, too. So I think both offenses are willing to sling the ball around. He just lost Keenan Allen. So I leaned to the Carson side. Jason leans to the Riverside, and you're probably okay with both. So, Duane, last question here, Duane in Winnetka, Winnetka?

I should have known that. It's California. California, A. California A. After the past two weeks, how do you guys feel about the matchups with the Houston Texans going forward? It's starting to look like the defense everyone thought they'd be. Are you saying that from the last week? Have they been good for multiple weeks here? I believe they had a very, didn't they have a very good game against Miami? Didn't I, uh, or maybe it wasn't Miami?

That was the opposite. That was the game that they got boat raced. Who am I thinking about here? They had a very bad game. A terrible game against Miami. Tennessee. Tennessee, they did actually have a pretty good game with. They only gave up six points. Yeah, the last two games. Tennessee and Cincinnati, they've been great. Six points allowed in each game. This is coming off the Miami game where they gave up 44. Here's the problem. Judevian and Clownie should be back. That's the problem? Apparently, that's the problem.

He's been in and they haven't been quite as good. You know, one of the things that I will say that, you know, we've noticed on film is that the secondary has very much improved. The secondary was just terrible. And they've gotten better as the season's gone on. So while I don't think that they are, you know, the Texans that everybody wanted them to be, they have improved. They're definitely a streamable candidate. I wouldn't.

you know, stash them for the entire rest of season. They start the playoffs with New England and then Indianapolis, not exactly two games that you would usually want to start a defense against, but in the right matchup, you can absolutely start them. I think that they're very good rest of season defense, especially in the playoffs. How do you disagree with the Indianapolis game? Divisional game? Yeah, Andrew Luck should be back by then. I don't know. I guess that's the part that I'm questioning if he'll be back by then.

Well, that's five weeks away, so it's definitely in that range where he might not be. I think that they are much better than what they had been in the season. I don't know if they're as good as they were the past two weeks. All right, that is it for today. Do you got anything to add, Jason?

No, you know, the only thing, we mentioned it yesterday, but we're starting to make sure that everybody that's playing right now, if you want to be in a really, really cool league next year with people who listen to the show, know what they're doing, are active, are involved, they do trades, they talk, you know, you get a forum and you can chat with people, and just have a fun time.

build some relationships. We're going to be doing that over at join thefoot.com. That's our community. That's where Andy, myself and Mike always hang out, chat with people. Building some good friendships over, join the foot. So tomorrow we'll be back with our starts of the week. Fantasy Forecast, week number 11. We'll get you ready to go. And hopefully we'll have some great picks for you to help you win your league this week, win your game. Let's do it. Goodbye.
