Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 7 Fantasy Football Questions

Yeah, I go Rivers. Pedro in San Palo, Brazil. Hold on, hold on. So a bad match for Phil of Rivers. So you would have to have considered.

Green Bay. Green Bay, a terrible match. I agree. Yeah, I mean, I know what you're saying. That wasn't a very good matchup, and he put up 500 yards, but he has not been week in, week out. Great. He's had his bad weeks this year, and I think that that's one of those things where I didn't expect it this week at Green Bay, but if they were playing the Jets or they were playing, you know, another team like that, I wouldn't look for other options. All right. All right, so Pedro and San Palo, Brazil.

Should I start Alex Smith or send in the car? Oh, man. Send in the car. Send in the car. That's not even close to me. Macklin is potentially injured. Albert Wilson could be your top running wide receiver. You have no. Zeus. Okay. I use the word wide receiver very clearly, did I not? It doesn't matter. Probably doesn't. All targets to Zeus. Yeah, okay. It's Derek Carr by a lot. Who are the chiefs playing?

The Chiefs are playing the Buccaneers. Oh, they're looking at the Steelers, yes. Yeah, my stream. Yeah, I'd go, I'd send in the car. Send in the car. George in Glendale, so he's out here. Hey, George. Maybe. Maybe. Is that Glendale? It's Arizona. Yeah. Okay. It says Glendale. A. Z.

After watching the Colts-Pats game last week, he noticed Edelman had a weird pinky injury. He noticed that LaFelle is coming back week seven. Is LaFelle a good flex start in PPR? No. Zero percent chance that I would start Brandon LaFelle this week. Love Brandon LaFelle. We should have talked about him more on our Waver Wire show. We did when we went on Chris Harris yesterday. LaFelle should be picked up, should be rostered. He is the starting outside wide receiver for Tom Brady. Great. However, he's coming off an injury. We haven't seen him used yet. And no.

There's no guarantee he's back in week seven. In fact, I'm predicting that he is not. If there is full practice, like, oh, he's full practice and at least multiple days, then I'm okay starting him. But if he's just limited every single day, then I'm not very comfortable doing it. All right. Let's answer a question from Jason in Madison Heights, Missouri, with Macklin most likely missing this week, like we just said. Who would you start at your wide receiver two spot? Vincent Jackson, Michael Crabtree, Jameson, Crowder, Kamar Aiken.

I think it would be Michael Crabtree for me. Yeah, I would go Crabtree, Jackson, Crowder, Aiken. Jackson is a very gifted wide receiver, as we have seen. He takes on Washington on the road, and he's just, he's been so inconsistent. I mean, he could give you two points, he could give you 20 points, where Crabtree is giving you a nice floor because Carr has to throw the ball so much. And for those who...

aren't aware. Crabtree is out targeting the great rookie Amari Cooper, and there's more talk of we need to get Crabtree even more involved, so I like Crabtree. Yep, I'm in complete agreement. And for those that are Kamar Aiken owners, he's all right. He's caught a late touchdown last week. Yeah, he's fine. But with Steve Smith back in the fold, by the way, did you guys hear that Steve Smith is considering...

not retiring at the end of the year. What had happened when you read into is he just dodged the retirement question. He did not say I'm considering not. He just dodged the question. That is very fair. That was a bit of a stretch by me. But he dodged the question. That team is playing so poorly. That might not be how he wants to go out, and he's playing so well that he might have another year in him. I'm going to predict he's back next year. He may. He may. All right. We read that one. Peter in Boston. Should he drop Antonio Andrews for Christine Michael? Yes.

Should he drop Charles Johnson for Stefan Diggs? Yes. Probably, yeah. I would say absolutely. Absolutely. Because Charles Johnson, when he was in there, wasn't doing anything. So great, maybe he comes and takes over the starting role and you don't need Stephen Diggs, drop him again. You're not going to get anything for Charles Johnson. All right, Evan wants to know he's looking to trade away Marshawn Lynch for Alshon Jeffrey.

I assume if you're... I assume if you're looking for this, then it's a need-based decision. You're in need of wide receiver, and you've got depth at running back. I think there's a fair trade. I love Alishon Jeffrey. I think he's a top 10 wide receiver every week that he plays. Generally, I prefer running backs to wide receivers, but if you're deep at running back and you have a need for a wide receiver, I think this is a great trade. I would try to, if I would try and get a...

lesser running back back in the trade. If you have to include a lesser wide receiver in the deal, then I would do that. Yeah. But if you want Alshan, then the trade's fair to me. Yeah, I agree. So, Mike, why don't you tell the people a little bit about join thefoot.com or our fantasy community? Join thefoot.com. Look, people, this site is spectacular. Okay. It has got to be the fastest growing fantasy football community on the internet.

It's the best way to support us, as we said, we're an independent podcast, grinding it out daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. We do it all. You even overcame a dead battery situation to get to the show yesterday. I sure did. It was a disaster of a morning. And you came in and your hair was just poof. Out to the side like Doc Brown. Right? Never. Never. It's always got that bun in shape. Tight man bun. It's actually a loose man bun.

I apologize. Thank you. Accept it. But join the foot. It's a great place for our fans to congregate, interact with us. There's awesome exclusive content from the show. There's an extra show every week. We do five for everybody, but you want a sixth show? Boom. Available. Yeah, and it's a show where we're only answering questions from Jointhefoot.com members, so it's pretty cool to check out. People enjoy it. They like it. It's good stuff.

And you get to sometimes get to make us do ridiculous things. Ridiculous, cool, embarrassing. I mean, that's how we got that eight-hour Twitter blitz. What's from join the foot.com. There is a potential spray tanning of the three of us coming up. I still am dreading that. In a good way. I'm dreading it in a good way. Like Christine Michael, I'm dreading him in a good way.

for ownership. So, yeah, check that out. We appreciate everybody out there listening to the show. We've got, uh, my favorite two shows of the week are coming up Thursday, Friday. I mean, I love those shows. You're looking forward to week seven. We talk through the matchups. We got our starts of the week. We got our DFS segment with Chris Meaney on Friday. I mean, I'm gonna, we're gonna debut a new segment you have yet to hear, but should be pretty cool, uh, on Thursday and Friday. It's, and Mike and I'll be dead, dead tired from the,

the three movies that we're watching sequentially in the movie theater like children. Yeah, we could have... We may have butt cheek related injuries. No way, man. I got us tickets at that theater that's got the recliners. Oh. We're in good shape. Very nice. My goal at this point is just to not sleep through any of the three and fall asleep in the movies. Anything else going on? You guys got any bold future predictions for this week?

I took Jarvis Landry as my stream of the week, so I'm good for the week. Jarvis Landry Jones. Jarvis Landry Jones. When you hear the name Landry Jones, does that remind you of Indiana Jones at all? Because it does for me. Well, you know, almost everything does for you. Yes. Yes. Yes. So I like Back to the Future, but my Back to the Future for you is Indiana Jones. My goodness. I love Indiana Jones. My Back to the Future for you. Oh, you like it more than Back to the Future? Yes. Oh, okay.

Yes. Well, I respect that. My feelings on Indiana Jones is that the first two are not, they just don't come close to the third one. Fair. And so when I go back and rewatch them. Indiana Jones was a little bit ruined to me by the last one. Just ignore that. Wait. What? Not the newest one. The fourth one. Oh, that one didn't exist. Exactly.

That one was abducted by aliens. Yes. Literally. Yeah. So also a reminder, our rankings are coming out on the website today. They're normally towards the evening and people are like, oh, we need your rankings. We need them right away. Well, we try to, you know, we try to balance out like good information from camp and practice reports. Like if we just come out with those rankings on Monday, they will be so much more of a shot in the dark than they will be researched and thought through on Wednesday. You want my rankings? Kristen Michael, number one.

Well, obviously. That's what you get if you demand them. He's your starting tight in, too, right, this week? So, yeah, no problem there. They'll be out today. You'll see them. We'll get them out there. And good luck this week, week seven. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Yeah, so goodbye. Goodbye. Jason? Chubbocker.
