Week 16 Buy or Sell + Championship Week Mailbag, Idiot Savant Accuracy

Okay. Tennessee is a one point home underdog. It's a 51 point over under. Nice. Arizona is on the road at Seattle. They're nine and a half point underdogs. It's a 48 point over under. Alvin Camara or Kenyon Drake after his four touchdown game. That is a very good question, and I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Alvin Camara finished last week as the running back 23 against San Francisco.

He was, every use of that in this game has been negative. Yeah, that's very bad. 29th against Atlanta. Obviously, Drake was the number one on the week with four touchdowns. He's done that a couple times this year where he's put up huge touchdown numbers. The two weeks prior, he was the 31st and 42nd running back. So he has not been great. He just had a great game. I'm going to still go with Camara, who is, look, I love Drake. I mean, that's been established over years.

but I'm going to go with the higher over-under, the higher implied team total, and the better running back over the last several years. Okay. I'm going Camara. Where do you? I think it's a tough decision. You got to start one. I know. It's a tough decision. Both teams on the road. I think I'm with you. I think I have to side with Camara and the better offense.

The Cardinals' offense is part of what happened in the preceding two weeks is not, it was just a bad offense. Yes. Kyla Murray has one of the lowest pass ratings in the NFL over the last five weeks. Thankfully, David Blow is there at the basement to soften the landing. Yeah, you'll never get to the bottom, Kyler. But, but yeah, I think you have to side with the better offense in that situation for predictability's sake. All right, Instagram question. Are you starting James Connor with confidence this week? And would you play him over Lindsay?

Pittsburgh is fighting for their lives, but they're in New York, facing the Jets. Philip Lindsay's against Detroit should be just a gorgeous matchup. They're at home. But I'm playing James Connor. Barring setbacks in practice. I am as well. You saw him really be used in a rotation as they eased him back in. But then he is so much better than there are other options. I don't think they...

They need to be careful with how much they use him, but he got a touchdown this last week. And that's the, the touchdown is the reason. Philip Lindsay is awesome. He really is. He is an awesome running back. But for fantasy, he's not getting it done because his team isn't going to get done. The touchdown opportunities aren't there. He's not even necessarily their goal line guy. They could come in and bring Royce Freeman. Which they have. Yeah. And so when it comes to who's more likely to get a touchdown, that's James Connor.

That's who I'm playing in my championship. And he's just a great friend of the quarterback out of the backfield when you need him. Like I would definitely count on Connor more involved in the passing game than the way Lindsay's been involved lately. Certainly. So I want to thank today's studio sponsor, Pristine Auction.

This is a roundabout way of giving you a shout out, Jason. Oh, this sounds great. But one of the most important things to this show is accuracy, right? Nobody, other than me, obviously. Nobody in the industry gets everything right.

Right. You do. And they don't really get close, but we want to be a show that is objectively more accurate than the rest of the things that you can consume and pay attention to. It's what we put into all of our tools on the website and the ultimate draft kit. We want to bring consistency and accuracy to the space. Championships. Championships. You play fantasy football to have fun and you have more fun if you win.

100%. And that's kind of how this show is built upon. We like to entertain you either on purpose or on an accident. Most of the time I'm doing it on the X. Yeah. Like right now, like your shirt has a giant chalk mark on it for no reason. I don't know why that is. I don't know. Do you even know what that is?

No idea. It's a giant blue chalk mark. It marks the line. Do you wash your clothes? This is how tall my son is. I mark it on my shirt every year. And so we do take a lot of, you mark it on your shirt. Yeah, just to see how tough. Yeah, no, that makes sense. We take pride in accuracy and stuff like that on this show. We put a lot of truth and effort in truth. We put a lot of truth into it. We put a lot of time and effort into that. And like I said, it permeates the stuff we do. So.

While this is kind of a tutute-toot, it's also more of a pride thing for me to say that last year we were the only show with the only media entity that had multiple experts inside the top 10 of fantasy pros's accuracy rankings, where there's over 130 plus experts ranked. And this year...

We got one week left. Oh, it's last week. We got one more big week, but we are on the precipice of repeating that accomplishment. Now, Jason is sitting at number five on the year. Huzzah. I'm sitting at 11. So I got to break in this week. Yep. And last year we did it. And Mike's been on fire. Mike's been on fire. He was the number two highest ranked guy this last week. And five last week. So I just want people to know.

That even though you laugh at how, you know, we're morons. Oh, I'm so stupid. We are very dumb. And there is a cardboard bear on the set. We do pay a lot of attention to this and want to get you those Ws. And so Jason, congratulations on a magnificent year. Thanks. You too, buddy. Because you say so much wrong stuff that it's really. It's hard to take me serious. It's really hard to look at that ranking and believe it. Right. I live my life by the idiot savant.
