Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 10 Fantasy Football Questions, Mailbag

Who do the Chiefs got? They got the Broncos. Ooh, that's gross. And the Titans have the Panthers. Ooh. That's gross. That's nasty. You've got to go with... I'm going to go with Sharkandric. Yeah. Both matchups are bad. You go with the Charzard. Yeah. Volume is great for him. I'm having a super hard time deciding between them because I think the volume is actually about the same now with those guys. Not pass catching. Antonio Andrews has caught a few. A few, but Sharkandric is...

He's the man. I love him. Oh, man. How bold am I? I'm going to go Char West. Charzard. I choose you. I thought you were about to make a water bet. And then you went... I was pondering the water bet, but it would have been with odds. Because you guys both... When I play fantasy, I want to be the very best.

Like no one ever was. Yeah, I got you. Barely. I got you. Nick in Brooklyn, New York, who would you rather keep for the rest of the season? Jeremy Macklin or Alan Hearns. Ooh. Full point PPR. Ooh. Give me Macklin. Full point PPR, I would agree. I would go Macklin. He's got a, you know, more, a higher floor baseline. You've seen plenty of games with Alan Hearns where he's got two or three balls and a touchdown. And his value comes from that. But.

With Macklin in a full point PPR, he's going to have more receptions on the year higher. And his ceiling is still, he can put up a big game. In the last two games that Jeremy Maclin has played, he has how many catches? In the last how many games? Two. It's not high. Six. Yeah. In two games. Yeah. Just throwing that out there. Well, he was concussed in one of them. No, that's the zero. Well, when was he concussed? He was concussed during that game. And then the next game he came out, they struggled a lot.

Yeah. And they didn't need it. It was Detroit, right? Yeah. Right. Yeah. And that game they had put away early. Yeah. Before those, it was eight receptions, 11 receptions, eight receptions. Anybody want a rest of season bet? No. I'm still going to go back when I'm just pointing out that this is not a... That's not as cut and dry. Yes. Dustin in Spokane, Washington, who do you like best rest of season? Stevie Johnson, Jordan Matthews, Anthony Adams. I got to go, man, that is actually really tough. Yeah.

That is tough. Stevie for me. That's what I was going to say because of the injuries that are just piling up, but what was his final line last night ago? I don't think Stevie, he got nine or ten targets. I'll look up his... I think it was like seven for 48. I'm going to go with Devante Adams. Oh, a bold choice. Yeah. Bold choice. Yep.

I'm not sure that's going to work. I feel like we should. Who do you like, Jay? Honestly, I'm just curious if you like Jordan Matthews. I like Jordan Matthews. I think Jordan Matthews. Oh, no. Do we have it? Well, Andy's making a face as if to say either something is very smelly on his side of the chair or Bermuda Triangle Waterbat.

All right, that was the very loud version. Yeah, I'm going to fix that, guys. Not everything's a perfect well-oiled machine here at the fantasy footballers. Unless you're talking about my physique! All right, I've got it in the actual dropboard now, so that mistake can never happen again. Okay, so we're putting that on the board? Yes, I am taking Devante Adams, Mike is taking Stevie Johnson, and Jason is taking Jordan Matthews. And spell that out on the draft board, because I've been looking at these, and they're a little...

Tough to know exactly what's going on. It's because Mike's been putting them in. Yeah, because we forget a little bit what these bets take place. So it's, what, 10 through 16? Are we going 17? No. 17 is, that doesn't actually exist. All right, so 10 through 16 weeks. It's rest of season. Well, I know, but we were saying what. But the fantasy stats that go into ESPN include 17. Fine. Whatever. So we'd have to go do the math ourselves. I'll take 17. I'm not scared. We're going to have to do the math ourselves no matter what because.

We're going to have to figure out. All right. So we've got a bet. By the way, how will we be paying out that bet? We will be paying out that bet with our free app, the Wheel of Water. And guys, we're watching these videos that people are sharing, and they are the delight of my life. Watching people have so much fun around the country, around the world.

Making their bets. I am searching the hashtag wheel of water right now. Over anything. To see if there's any new videos. I saw one. And there are 12 hours ago. Nice. It was a bet between, I believe, a husband and wife over bear or bear, the spelling of which. Oh, it wasn't even football? No. No. That's even better. You can use this anywhere in life. It's like, what is it? Do you want to bet anything? Well, here's the great thing about it is how many times a day.

Maybe per day, but per week, you're talking to someone, you want to bet? Yeah. And then nothing ever comes to this because no one wants to financially bet on something that is trivial and stupid, but you can bet with embarrassment of watering. And when you do, please use the hashtag, hashtag wheel of water one word. That way we can find it. We'll retweet them. Kyle in Wisconsin, would you rather have Maddie Ice or Blake B.

Bortles for the rest of the year. Bortles. Bortles. Give me that Bort. Mr. Beebe. Bort it up. Patrick in Vancouver, Canada. You guys don't watch the Simpsons, so never mind. We're all out of Bort license plates. That's for the Simpsons fans out there. Someone laughed. Someone laughed. Twitter is going to erupt simultaneously. I know, because when you say that, somebody does. Patrick in Vancouver, Canada.

Bonjour. Wow, that was loud for you. That was weak. I was thinking about Bort. Yeah. Hey, guys, just wondering, who did you take rest of season, Arizona defense or the Cincinnati defense? Schedule seems a little bit better for Sinci, but the Cardinals have been a better defense. Yeah, I would go Sinci because of the schedule. I mean, when you're streaming defenses, the main thing that you look at is the matchups. I feel like that plays a bigger role than just the quality of the defense themselves.

Now that matters, but both of these are good defenses. I got to check something out here because Arizona gets to... Why can I not find Arizona on here? A-A-A-R-I. It's actually under Cardinals. That's why I can not find it. Send in the card. The Cardinals get to play... Oh, Seattle is Week 17. I was going to say a defensive matchup of the Cardinals versus Seattle is actually something that I want a part of. Give me those Russell Wilson sacks. So you're starting Arizona this week. Yes.

Yeah? He has been... Their offensive lines are struggling. Struggling. Struggling. All right. Where am I here, guys? Sam in Connecticut. Do I start Amari Cooper or Randall Cobb this week? Mm. Mari Cooper, as we talked about, takes on the Vikings, and the Packers are playing the Lions. And it looks like... Give me Cobb. This is an easy question for me. Randall Cobb by a mile just because I expect the Lions to...

Stink? Yeah, to stink as they do. And Aaron Rogers to show that, hey, you know, relax people, we can put up huge numbers. And the Vikings games this whole year, with the exception of week one, have been low scoring affairs. They're not, you know, even if the Raiders are playing good and they're hitting on all cylinders, it's not a game where they're going to need to score 35. They don't need to, but they're going to. If the Raiders can score, they're going to score. If the Raiders can score, they're going to win.

That game. That's very true. Because the Vikings offense seems pretty capped, points-wise. All right. I think I'm going to take Cooper. I'm going to take Cooper right here. I'd water the, I'd water bet that way. I'd water the bet out of that. Yeah. Who wants it? Let's go. Water bet. I've had enough doubting the Raiders. I'm all aboard. All right, Guy. There's a guy with a question, and his name is Guy.

Going forward and this week is Drew Breeze, a better starting fantasy quarterback over Andy Dalton. That is a great question. I think yes. Drew Breeze plays Washington, correct? This week. I believe you are correct. You got Drew Breeze, man. Stay in those flames. But he said rest of season. Oh, I missed that part. So I believe that Drew Breeze will put up more points than Andy Dalton rest of season. I would tend to agree with you.

And he has, I'll be honest, we kind of did what people do sometimes. We saw the struggles early and thought, and the loss of weapons and thought maybe that would be the end. But I do not believe it is the end. And he had four touches on his last week coming off at seven the week before. I just think, I don't know. They've definitely figured out how to use Ben Watson, which has helped that offense tremendously to use the tight end again. That's really when it turned around. I think Drew Brees is a fantastic.

quarterback to have the rest of the way, but I'm going to go Dalton, not because I don't believe in Drew Brees, but because I have... Not because I don't believe. Okay, I'm with you. Yeah, okay. All right. Caught my own brain up to myself. We're struggling. But it's because Andy Dalton gives me no reason this entire year to believe he's not going to be...

a very, very consistent, high-producing quarterback. So they both are fine options, but I'm going to go with Dalton. I mean, even this last week in our scoring, you know, six points, he had 30 points again. He's done that. He's had over 30 points, one, two, three, four times already. In our scoring. Emil in Copenhagen, Denmark, high fantasy footballer, started my season 0.4 thanks to C.J. Anderson. Well, yes, that is, you can thank him. Send him a card.

He said he doesn't care. Now I'm on a roll and have won five games in a row and would like to keep this going for as long as possible. So who do I start from my flex? Lamar Miller or Chris Ivory. And keep in mind, Lamar Miller plays the Eagles this week and Chris Ivory takes on the jets. The dolphins are on the road. Chris Ivory takes on the jets. Wow. So you're talking about it in practice.

Chris Ivory takes on the bills, the bills it is. Miller's in Fuego. I'm sticking with him. Yeah, yeah, I definitely would start. You call him in Fuego because even with the off week? He had a bad week. Yeah, that was. He still scored. New England. Yeah, and he did score. He wasn't crazy on fire, but he was double digits. Yeah, that's an interesting one for me. When two out of three weeks a guy's over 40 points or so, I'm going to go with that's on fire. Okay.

That's fine. I have 40 points or so. I'll give you that. To a running back. It was like 30, but all right. Jim and Tuscaloosa, who is a better keeper? Lev Bell for a first rounder or Arian Foster for a third rounder. Lev Bell. Lev Bell. Leviel. Leviel. Although I am hearing the, he probably won't be ready for preseason. We'll see what happens, yeah. Because the amount of work they had to be done is pretty significant. Go on the MCL? Correct. Yeah. And for a first rounder,

I don't know if that's good value. I mean, it's so early to tell. But don't just limit yourself to those two options. You might have a guy on your team that's more of a fifth, six-round guy that has better potential this next year that I would rather keep. That's true. Both guys are recovering from injury, obviously. I think. Maybe that's a rule in their league. Like, you can only keep guys that are out for the year. Season-long injuries. Yeah. So Steve Smith is in consideration. There's a big list. Dionne Lewis.

All right, last question here. Isaiah and Lovington, New Mexico, Tyler Eifert, and Jordan Reed both have alternated 30-point weeks for me. Who should I start? Well, obviously, the guy that scores 30. Start whoever's going to score 30. Next question. All right. Normally, John Brown's in my flex, but I can bench him if need be. I think that, well, I'm guessing you have to choose a tight end and a flex. And I don't think I would play them both over John Brown. This is a tough one.

Bengals at home against Texans and Washington at home against the Saints. Jordan Reed. Yeah, you can't sit Tyler Eifford after a three touchdown game, though. Honestly, I saw you. I think you sit. I think this week you sit John Brown. Because both matchups are too juicy. You can't sit Tyler Eifer. And going up against New Orleans, I mean, Jordan Reed's going to eat. Yeah. I agree. That's true. I think I'm with you guys. There you go. I think John Brown, the only thing, it's just.

John Brown's been targeted so much. I just... Yeah. You're probably right. The rare double-tied-in. They're up in Seattle, right? Yes. All right. I'm with you. Eifford and Jordan, read... And I promise you will not sit the wrong one by doing that strategy. That is true. That 100% of the time. I will say this. We appreciate you listening to the show today.
