Fantasy Football Podcast for Week 9/10

Running back. Now, his ownership percentage is probably higher, and this is, what is it going on over there? Like looking at pictures of him, and I can't be sure if he's, he looks like he's wearing eyeliner. Yeah. I'm talking, like, college, like, final senior photo-looking picture. He looks like he's wearing eyeliner. What's going on? Did we just... Did we just... Did we discover something? Yes, this is breaking news. Look up David Carr. Does he have it, too? I am. I'm looking at David Carr. Okay, so my running back.

This is more important than anything you've been doing so far. Like I said, he's probably owned, but Jeremy Hill, because I felt I was allowed to do this because he's been my guy for the entire year. And he just exploded all over the Jaguars. And he takes on the Browns who are 22nd versus running backs. And I have a little note here that says, I love Jeremy Hill.

I'm going to not let you get too high on your horse here. Captain Gio Bernard's injured. I mean... Well, that's why he's in. That's why he's the start of the week because Gio... Well, that's good. I'm just saying the I loved Hill part, you know. I've loved him since the beginning. And he's getting an opportunity now that Gio's gone to perform. I'm going to go with Ronnie Hillman this week. Oakland is pretty awful against the run. There should be piles of opportunities for Hillman to eat again. So if you got Ronnie Hillman...

Don't be afraid to put him back out there. Even when Monta Ball comes back, I think Ronnie Hillman's a guy that's going to have a role. Yeah, that's a good question. The Monte Ball should be back sometime soon? I don't think it's this week, but do you think, so you think Hillman holds that job? I do. I think Helman holds the job in a, you might see something somewhat reminiscent to Bradshaw Richardson right now. Okay. I could see that.

I think Hillman has shown speed to the edge in a way that has dramatically affected that offense. And it's something that, you know, he's run hard and he's scored. He scored. And Bonte ball is not special. I've been saying as much as you love Hill, I hate Monte Ball. That's true. So I can vouch for that. So would maybe even we're looking at last year's Denver, but instead of Moreno, it's Hillman. So maybe the Hillman.

I think exactly. Human ball split. I think ball will get the goal line carries, but you saw Joanne Thompson do that a couple weeks ago. And in that offense, it's not impactful enough to Ronnie Hillman to make him irrelevant. It'll make you frustrated that he's not getting it all. But I would expect Hillman to have a prominent role. A wide receiver. I am taking the shot. This is quite bold. On the fantasy draft darling who has been...

Garbage. Justin Hunter, Tennessee is taking on the Baltimore Ravens, who did not have a very good week against the Steelers last week. I'm fine with this. I think Hunter is a good play. Now, their 30th against the wide receiver, which I'm sure has a lot to do with last week, but if you look at their numbers, they've actually given up excellent production to the wide receiver position all year. Jimmy Smith, I...

Don't believe he's playing again. Am I correct in this? Have you heard otherwise? I have not heard otherwise. That is troublesome. Old, well, I guess he's not old, but young man, moustachio selfie. Yeah, Mr. Mettenberg. He likes to sling it. Yeah, in the by week, get him a little more time. And Hunter was actually good the week before. Right, and he plays tons of snaps. So.

I'm, I like Justin. Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb here and I'm going to give my start of the week to Michael Crabtree. Oh, what are you doing? This guy. He's overdue. He is overdue. Oh, he got three consecutive goal line looks. Hey, you played the overdue card with Witten. I'm playing it with Crabtree. He just has not put together one of those monster games this year. But, uh, you know.

New Orleans, San Francisco should be a shootout, in New Orleans, 27 first to pass. I'm taking Crabtree. Take it to the bank. You take it to the, when you play guys who are due, you end up with doo-doo. We'll see. Come back next week and find out. There's got to be some kind of crab tree bet we can make. Oh. Why did I bring that out? There should be. I don't know what it would be. Tight end. I'm playing Heath Bar and Miller.

That's not his legal. Heath Miller was going to be my start of the week, but you stolen. The Jets are awful. They are 30th versus the tight end. Big Ben is in fuego. That's what I said, and I just said that. The dude cannot be stopped. If you watched him play, the accuracy and the touch that Big Ben has right now, he is in a zone.

that is reserved for Peyton Manning. Like old Peyton. Right. Wait, when I say old, I mean young. Right. Old young Peyton Manning. He, so I've got Miller, I've, to have a great game. Yeah, I've got, I'm going to go with Larry Donnell this week. Seattle's been oddly bad against tight ends this year. I think just because of touchdowns. Yeah, and that's something that Donnell specializes in. The running game isn't really there for the Giants.

But you did see Eli throw the ball a ton last week. So I'm just going to, you know, Dinell had a couple drops. I like Dinell as a streamer this week. Speaking of Eli Manning. We... Sucks. We had a bet last week. So I wanted to get another bet going on. Where I was a Cam Newton versus Eli Manning. I had Eli Manning. And this just goes to show that sometimes you have to walk your own path because...

The experts were 90% in favor of Cam Newton. We should do... And I was in the 10%. Yeah, you were. You were. You got to go your own way. We should do a bet between our start of the weeks every week. Pick one of them. Hey, that's not a bad idea. So what about Ronnie Hill and Jeremy Hill this week? The Hill versus the Hellman? The Hill versus the Hellman? That is a very interesting bet.

And I would say that favors you strongly. Oh, but I will take it. They're both starting. I know, I'll take it. All right, let's do it. We need to, look up what the start sit is on fantasy pros. The start sit? Of Hillman versus Hill. Okay. Let me see what the percentage is. So we do water bets with each other where we, the loser gets doused in water in a hilarious way. I believe we're going to record. 70-30.

For Hillman? Yeah. Do you want a couple points? Yeah, give me... You know, three? I was going to say five. If you give me five points... I'll give you three. Four. You were just going to take it. Straight up. Take my generosity. Four. Three and a half. Three and a half. All right, three and a half. All right, three and a half. All right, three and a half points. It's such a bad... Hillman versus Hill. No, it isn't. It's not. Jeremy Hill. Much better week than Hillman last week. Not much better.

slightly better actually if i go to ppr it's 73 27 yeah uh so let's talk about defense uh well no no you were hold on real quick you were gonna talk about the water bet and then you got distracted so you i said we we we make bets and then the loser gets yeah water thrown on and what i was going to say is the next five-star review we get if somebody leaves a five-star review before our next show on itunes we'll

We'll release video of the water bet and me getting doused. How about that? That's good. Me getting destroyed by me spinning the wheel of water and getting destroyed by the water. There you go. And then if I win this week, I'll do it right back. That's true. So defense, I'm taking the Cardinals. They're available in 40%, I think more than 40% of ESPN leagues. They're playing the St. Louis Rams who are not very good on offense than the Cardinals ever.

Very good defense. And of five of eight games, St. Louis has given up double digits to defenses. So I'm taking the Cardinals this week. And I'm going to go with the Ravens. At home against Tennessee, they just got embarrassed. It's more about what I don't like about Tennessee and the fact the Ravens are at home.

Tennessee gives up 23rd, or this is basically the ninth most points to fantasy defenses. So I'm going to go with the Ravens because they're available in about 71% of leagues. Ooh, that's a lot. Hey. It is. Hey, let's tick on the world. Let's do it. The fantasy footballers versus the world. Yeah! Pump that up. So this is a start-sit game that we like to play.

where I go to fantasy pros and I grab some commonly asked questions for... We should be arguing for opposite sides on this. Well, I mean, if they're close... Well, then we would have to... And then see who's right. Or see who's in the majority. Well, the hopes is that all of these are close because my initial gut reaction when I grab the question is, oh, that looks pretty close.

And hopefully it's under 70%. I like it in the 60s or 50s. 50s is the best. So you're talking about two guys that are facing off a start sick question. Would you rather start, in this first example, it's Eric Decker or Brandon Cooks? No, Eric Decker is playing the Steelers. That's right. And Brandon Cooks is playing the 49ers. And when I got done at this, you'll see there's a theme of there's actually a lot of the 49ers Saints. Yep.

These are questions that need to be answered. Yes. Yes. So if you're in this situation, Eric Decker or Brandon Cooks, this one is not that close to me. Really? No, I take Eric Decker. I have Eric Decker the whole way. Hmm. That is interesting because, so the Jets are, so they play the Steelers, and Palomalo is out, Ryan Shazir is out. Decker did score, and Cooks is coming off a bad week.

And you'll have to... Pick one, man. Pick one. Well, it's not just pick one. People want to hear why we're picking them. They're not just... You haven't said why you're picking them. Well, I was just talking it out, man. All right. So you take... I'm taking Brandon Cooks. All right. Let's do it. Let's take a look at... Do you have it pulled up? I do have it pulled up. The consensus has Eric Decker at 67%. Okay. That's fair. That's not bad. Not too shabby. All right.

Next on the list, we have Ruben Randall Sir Drops a lot. Oh, that's harsh. Versus Allen Robinson. And Ruben Randall, they're taking on the Seahawks, and Alan Robinson is taking on Dallas over in London, London Town. I am going to go with Ruben Randall. Oh, gross. I know. Explain yourself. I think that the attention.

is going ODB's way, and Randall is a reliable... I'm just taking this... What? He's reliable. Reliable dropping it? No, he had one drop yesterday. He just... Randall is a good for 6 for 60. In a comparative thing... I'm not saying I love Ruben Randall. I'm saying I like him more than Alan Robinson this week, which obviously you're not going to take Ruben Randall because you just said gross and you love Alan Robinson. I do love Alan Robinson. I feel like we should be betting this one.

We should double down here. Let's bet again. All right. Alan Robinson versus Ruben Randall. We got to keep track of all this stuff. We got memories. All right. All right. You want to know what Fantasy Pro said? I do. I just clicked it. 70% have Ruben Randall. That's fine. I know. Because I got wet last time it was that kind of percentage. We got wet when it was 90%. I know. The next one on our list. Oh, we got more Saints. We got.

A character we've already talked about. Yeah, Michael Crabtree and Markey's Colston. I think you already know who I'm going with, Michael Crabtree. Yes. Colston has been very hot, cold. Colston. Oh, yeah. I need like a clown nose. Yeah. But I'm going to take Crabtree. 7426. 74% of experts agree. Michael Crabtree is going to have a better week.

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, we'll see. The next one on our list, what is this like, this is the wide receiver starts out of the world, that's all it is? Yeah, they all looks good. Larry Fitzgerald or Percy Harvin. That's a good question. It is a good question. I just think players, I mean, if you're in an all wide receiver league, these are really relevant to you. Well, these are all lower-level wide receivers, and these are guys that you could potentially have both of them on your team. I agree.

I'm going to go with Larry Fitzgerald. Larry Fitzgerald is playing the Rams. Percy Harvin's playing the Steelers. Who you going with? Oh, man. With Percy Harvin getting all those targets and being forced fed. My heart wants to go Fitzgerald, but I think I'm going to have to lean Harvin. It would take, I believe, a Fitzgerald touchdown to...
