Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Week 11 Review, Studs and Duds, MNF Preview, Fantasy News

was a pretty good running back there in Marshawn Lynch. So Rawls is the reason that Robert Turbin and Chris and Michael were just dispensed with. Now we know. Yeah. He's really good. And Andy's smile from ear to ear as he picked. I've got him in two of my three leagues already. I picked him up a couple of weeks ago and profusely mocked.

the Marshawn Lynch owner for the past two weeks, who may or may not be my brother-in-law, who insisted he would rather keep Tevin Coleman on his bench than Thomas Rawls to handcuff Lynch. And now he's getting his comeuppance, and I like it. Oh, man. No, but he's going to get to play Coleman for one week. Maybe. And guess who he plays against?

He plays against the Vikings. No, no, no. He plays me next week head to head. And I'm going to play that Rawls fella. Yeah, I hope, I hope for just for the sake of this little microorganism here that I hope that Tevin Coleman is the starter. Oh, yeah. So that you can have Kevin Coleman against Rawls. Yeah. And see who really wins. This is what makes fantasy football great. And hopefully you don't mind getting an insight into our League of Record and our world here because...

These are the things where the first thing I did when I woke up this morning was post picture and meme after meme on our fantasy wall, our league Facebook page, just to mock him because it felt so good. All right, ESPN Bears reported Jeff Dickinson, Dickerson said Matt Forte appears to be on track to play Thanksgiving Day against the Packers.

This is interesting. We talked last week, Jason and I did, about the fact that Forte is very open to sharing carries and they may very well. There's no real reason not to share them at this point with Forte coming off an injury and Langford playing so well. What do you do if you're an owner of these two guys? If you have both of them or if you just have one? Well, if you have both of them, you still play Forte to me. And if Forte is ready to go, then I think he'll still get the majority of the...

the timeshare. And there's still the possibility with John Fox that he goes an old grumpy man and Forte gets all the carries again. So let's say you're the Langford owner and you don't have the best of options. Do you start Langford next week if Forte is starting? Are you willing to put him in on your flex? If your options are very limited and what's interesting in my other big league, I have this situation where I've just been depleted by all kinds of injuries.

I managed to grab Langford, who's been a nice Band-Aid for the last couple weeks, and I've been trying to negotiate with the Matt Forte owner of just offering, and he's out. He's basically out of the running for the playoffs, and it's a Keeper League, and so I'm trying to dangle. I'm like, I'll give you Alan Robinson, who you can keep, because he cannot keep Matt Forte. I'll give you him for Matt Forte, and it's not getting done, and I'm trying to get all these offers together. So when is your deadline in that league this week? Yeah.

Yeah, a lot of deadlines hitting this week, or have already hit. So if you have questions, trade questions, you can go to the website, click to submit a question button real easy. We'll answer some trade questions later in the week. Answer my trade question. I need to get my Forte. Yeah, answer with a yes is what you're saying. Frank Gore told reporters following the game that he'll be fine. Now, he went out with a knee and quad injury, went back.

into the game, but looked like he was hobbling around. Bradshaw had some production. Jason, as a Gore owner, as a Bradshaw owner, how are you feeling? If you're a Gore owner and a Bradshaw owner, I think you're feeling fine. If you are a gore owner that does not have Bradshaw... Is that you now? Which is now my position. You need to go out and sign Ahmad Bradshaw. We were saying when the Colts signed him, he is...

a great backup because last year when he was in in there he was a top five fantasy back so yeah i mean right now you just need to watch practice reports i expect gore to play to get the bulk of the carries but whenever you've got an older fellow who is struggling with injuries as the season continues on and is getting a good workload there's always a chance for it to become you know something that takes him out of the game or or out of the season so you

You definitely need to have a mod Bradshaw, who I believe scored two touchdowns this week. You've got to have him on your roster. A lot of handcuffs this week that we're going to be talking about on our waiver wire show and ordering them as far as, you know, let's say you're not the owners of these guys. Who do you go out and grab? Because those are important questions. So answers to come up. It was the week of the backup. It was. I believe if you look through the top 10, it is just a...

ridiculous finish. And we're going to see here, the last bitter news I want to share is the Chari West injury. He went down with a hamstring injury. They said he's day to day, but the word strain was used, and that could be a multi-week injury. We saw Spencer Ware come in and prove that the Chargers cannot defend a running back. I mean, that's all that told me. Anybody who says is, as Jason would say, a coming on party for Spencer Ware. Spencer Ware, yeah, you got to come on to the Chargers.

Okay, I could run for 75 in a touchdown. What is happening? Did you not, how many of the shows did you listen to last week? I listened to a couple. I saw on... Did you hear Jason? Yeah, I heard, uh, I heard some commentary from the, the Foot Clan on Twitter. Well, yeah. Things got out of hand, you know. Jason, it happens sometimes. We all do it.

This week's fantasy stud muffins. Bouncing around in our doc here, Jay. Yeah, I know. In our show doc, you're clicking around. There's words changing. Doing work. All right. So, if anybody had any doubt that Cam Newton was an MVP candidate, he's an MVP candidate. Yeah, he's very good this year. Right now, it's Cam Newton and it's Carson Palmer in the NFC. Yes, that is correct. Yeah.

So Cam Newton, 21 for 246, a five burger in terms of touchdowns, and just massacred Washington. Yeah, that was delightful for me as I have had pretty much a 50-point scoring quarterback the last like four weeks, and I have not yet started them. They have been the wrong choice every week on my bench. And so I got to start Cam this week. That was fun.

All right, so James Winston also had a huge week, 19 for 246 and five touchdowns. Of course he did. Of course he did. Well, hey, hey, I did say I thought. This was your almost almost subset of the week. I had to choose between the Colts and the Falcons or the Tampa Bay Bucks against Philly. And now Tampa Bay is a game out of the wild card. Yes. And they have a matchup with the Colts this week. 500. So really impressive game from Winston. Really, really made a difference to have.

Vincent Jackson back in the lineup. Two touchdowns for Jackson and Doug Martin ran wild. And I will say this because I was very involved in this game. I had an Eagles defense going against him. The Eagles dropped about six interceptions and just of making, just missing a play by a hair. Now that doesn't matter. No, no. When it comes to the stats sheet, but I'm just pointing out for the people who are, oh, Winston, five touchdowns.

He was the greatest. He was just, just on the right side of what could have been a horrific week for him. But Mike, he was the number back in the NFL. I'm pretty sure he's going to be the best. Mickey Mouse followed me home. No, the voice of public opinion was very popular last week. But Mike, I just, I think he should be the number one pick this week. The number one pick up? Yeah, the waivers. Yeah, well. He had five touchdowns. What are you? You stupid? What is good?

Sorry, Mike. Sorry, Mike. Things have really changed. I've gone for a week. The show's changed a lot. Mostly we have coming on parties and Mickey Mouse shows up. That's really all that's going on here. Yeah, Mickey Mouse seems really rude. He's a son of a gun. All right. Well, I will say this. Winston plays the Colts this week. Would you stream him? No. The answer is yes for me. Yeah? You want to know why? Here's why you stream him this week, Jason Moore. Okay.

Matt Stafford was the sixth ranked quarterback this week. He was 22 for 282, no passing touchdowns, one running touchdown. He was the sixth best quarterback. That's why. That's pretty crazy because, you know, he was two of your start of the weeks. I feel terrible about that start of the week, and he was six. Watching the game, it was like, oh, he's having a bad game, but there were a lot of bad games in fantasy football this week. This week spun me around. But we're in the fantasy stud muffins. Like a record, baby. Those people who were.

Fantastic. And I'll go with my start of the week. Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson. Russian. 24, 260, three touchdowns, nine for 30 on the ground and got it done. And Tyler Lockett was the beneficiary there. Carson Palmer last night, 20 for 317, four touchdowns. And Andy Dalton had an OK Fantasy Day, 22 for 315 and two touchdowns. Which was good to see in a primetime game, to see that you can trust it. He was on the road against a good defense in prime time. And he showed up for fantasy.

You know, if he had had a bad game, this is... He was, NFL-wise, he was back and forth. Fantasy-wise, he was good. But he missed some throws. He checked down a lot. The Cardinals, obviously, Mike had Geo as his start of the week, simply because the Cardinals can't play Devin's against running backs out of the backfield. I kept saying that at the game. I was like, if they just ran Geo out of the backfield and threw it to him every play, but I don't know if the Cardinals could cover that. But he missed Marvin Jones on a touchdown pass. I don't know if you remember that. Yeah. Really easy touchdown pass. The guy was wide open.

A good game, like you said, Jay. He bounced back on the road, decent fantasy day. I don't love him going forward. He's going to be a matchup play to me. I'm not just going to, you know, it's two straight losses. That team, I'm not trusting him to have bounce back games every week. It's going to be matchup dependent, and I don't like him against the Rams this week. Yep. So, all right, let's get into the wide receivers. Who stood out to you guys? Who were the stud muffins at the wide receiver position? Well, let me just, I'll start this off. Hold on. Hold on. DeAndre Hopkins.
