Fantasy Football Podcast for Week 8/9

Uh-uh. I don't think that they're really factoring that in. Okay. Well, either way, I would actually, I'm going to go with the star and take Andre Johnson. Even though Terrence Williams has been a touchdown machine, I'm still going to take Andre Johnson against Philadelphia. What's your prediction on the percentage? Well, judging from your reaction, I think it's probably pretty high. So I'm going to, Andre Johnson, 78%. No.

Not even close. Terrence Williams, 58%. Whoa. Yeah, yeah. I think it's the Arizona has given up so many yards that I think that people are leaning on that side. So, uh, interesting. That is fantasy footballers versus the world. Mailbag. It's that time. It's that time. Send in your questions to the fantasy footballers at gmail.com. Start sick questions, trade questions. Anything you got, you send it in.

Hygiene questions. You get priority on your question being answered if you use a funny name. Yeah. Because it's our show. It's our show. We don't like regular names. So let's get to the questions. We have Barry. What is this is particular? Barry. I don't even know what he means. Is it Bobo or Bubu? Barry Bobo. Oh, so hairy. It's like a little nursery rhyme. He has a start sit question. He wants to know would you go? Doug Baldwin or Brandon LaFelle.

Doug Baldwin or Brandon LaFelle. So Doug Baldwin against Oakland and Brandon LaFelle against Denver. Yes, I am going to go Doug Baldwin. I am a big Doug Baldwin fan in this offense. I think that the matchup is great. Baldwin is going against Oakland. Baldwin is the number one. He led the team in targets again last week. And since Percy's been gone, I like him. Since you been gone.

And I think Lafell takes a step back because Brady takes what's given to him. And so sometimes it's going to be Lafell. Sometimes it's going to be Edelman who only had one catch in that monster game. So for me, it's Doug Baldwin. Do you think, Barry Osso Harry? Do you think Doug Baldwin sits in the Seattle locker room and sings that Kelly Clarkson song about Percy Harvin? He's like, I get all the targets. You know, he's the three or four years ago he was relevant.

And then all of a sudden he's relevant again. Yeah, I like Doug. But I take Baldwin. I take Brandon Lafell in this match. Oh, we didn't help you at all, Harry. There you go. Well, no, we did, because I got the link. We can go check the, what a fantasy pros have to say about this. Oh, dear. I do not know the answer, by the way. I just grabbed the link and I threw it in there. Brandon Lafell is, I like him in the shootout. It's Lafell. Because, you know what?

These experts, they just ride the wave too quickly. Dr. Bob, Dr. Bob has a defensive streaming question. He's looking at Indy versus the Giants, the Chargers versus the Dolphins, or Washington versus Minnesota. And I think I know what we're both going to say on this one. I'm taking Washington. Yeah, me too. They're just, Minnesota stinks.

Yeah, and... This is a fact. Giants are coming off a buy, and you never know what to expect. Not against Indianapolis. But they're not coming off a buy against them? Yeah, they're coming off a buy against them. I'm saying, I'm not playing a defense against Indianapolis. Oh. No, it's Indies D against the Giants. Oh, I read that backwards. Yeah. But either way... I'm still going to go with Washington because Minnesota stinks. All right, what's the next one? This is a treat for...

For us as a show. I pulled it up now. That's good. I couldn't believe that he wrote in. One, that he's a listener, too, that he would have the self-awareness to even ask our opinion on this. It's ridiculous. But Cam Newton wrote into the show. The. Yeah, it's Cam Newton. He sent a picture of him opening his imaginary Superman shirt to prove that it was him.

What did he want to know? Did he want to know a fantasy... He had a fantasy question of, should I start myself, Cam Newton against the Saints, or should I start Eli Manning against the Colts? Well, clearly you start yourself because you're my start of the week, Cam, and I believe in you, and I think the rest of the world's going to believe in you, too. Cam Newton, absolutely, undoubtedly, unquestionably...

100 out of 100 times. I'm starting Eli Manning. Well, you're in the 8% because the number on Fantasy Bros.com is 92 to 8, my friend. That's fine. Yeah, well, you know what? If you're starting Eli Manning, you'd water bet me on that. Would I? What's the bet? Lay out the terms. Fantasy points. Fantasy points in our league. Cam Newton versus Eli Manning this week. Let's do it. All right. Water bet. Put it on the board. Have we even, have any of those on this show? We have not. Okay. Mike and I have a tradition where if we are

diametrically opposed on a fantasy opinion, we will have what's called a water bet. And that equates to the loser getting doused with water in a humorous way. In a humorous fashion. We have a wheel of water here that we spin, and sometimes that means the water gets poured in your pockets. Sometimes it means it gets splashed on your head. Sometimes it means... Sometimes it's wet down under.

But, yeah, so I will take that. Cam Newton versus Eli Manning. Yeah, I'll take that way. All the way. Let's go to this next one here. Question four from Corden Jamron. That's my favorite one so far. Gordon Jamron. I assume that's a mixture of Jordan Cameron and Cameron. No, that's what Jordan Cameron's name is after he gets concussed. That is Cordon Jamron. That would be a great test for him. It's me. After the hit. What's your name? What's your name? Are you Jordan Cameron or you Cameron Jordan?

No, no, you just said Cameron Jordan Jordan. Well, I'm saying they ask Jordan Cameron after he gets hit. Are you Jordan Cameron or Cameron Jordan? And he says cordon Jammer. That's what I mean. So he had a waiver question. Should I pick up Janard Robinson, Andrew Hawkins, or Brandon LaFelle? For me, knowing nothing about his team whatsoever, it's in that order.

It's Dynard Robinson, it's Andrew Hawkins, it's Brandon LaFell. Now, for me, it is, I just, I understand that Dernard has done it two weeks in a row. I just, something about me still will not. Yeah, you want to know what that is? That's your hatred for the running game there because you had Toby Gerhardt drafted in the second round this year. That, well...

We got to qualify that. It's the second round of a keeper draft. So don't make me sound like a fool. They're going, what am I listening to? Yeah, that's good. Good point. So second round equates to a fifth round pick of our league. Somewhere on there. Thank you. Still a bad pick. Now. I suppose, and then. It was a bad pick then, too. No. It was a great pick back then. My gosh. I have those guys in the inverse order. I'm going to go, Lafell Hawkins-Denard.

Because I'm just not buying denards. So we both have Hawkins, but you're selling dinard. You never have been a fan of 100-yard games from running backs. No. All right. I have not. Fifth and final question for the mailbag section. If you have your own question, go ahead and mail it in. You can also visit us on Facebook at www. facebook.com slash the fantasy football guys. That's right, right? That's the right address? The fantasy football.

What did I say? The fantasy football guys. Yeah, you just pubbed another show. Whoops, the fantasy footballers. You're a Benedict Arnold. Can you cut that? What just happened? I was talking too fast. Do you have news for me? Are you leaving? Yeah, I'm on the way out. I registered the wrong address for us. No, if you go to Facebook.com slash the fantasy footballers, you can post a question there during the week and we'll answer it before your...

before your start happens on Sunday. The last question is from Triple T Thomas. Yeah. It's like Triple H, but it's a triple T. Yes. Start question. I'll let you handle this one before we wrap up. Who should I start? ODB versus the Colts. Brandon Cooks versus the Panthers or Keenan Allen versus the dolphins. Now, after we answer this, I have...

set up a system of checking fantasy pros um that's funny for their just two players starts sit yeah i i take keen and allen here um i'm gonna go even though you're back on i'm not back on but i'm taking somebody that i feel i mean odb is starting now but he started a game right cooks is not a starter or he's not a starter as far as uh what is it colston stills he's in the slot

I just lean Keenan Allen here with Cook's second and ODB third. I actually 100% agree with what you said. Oh, my goodness. Someone take a picture. I have agreed with what you said. I would go, Keenan Allen, Cooks, then, O'DB. Now, Fantasy Pro's experts have Keenan Allen 83% over Odell Beckham Jr. And then Brandon Cooks versus Keenan Allen. They have Keenan Allen 83%.

Okay. So clearly Keenan Allen's the number one. And then Brandon Cooks versus O'Dell Beckham, they have Cooks 71%. Oh, yeah. We aligned with the experts on that one. Because we are experts. For the fantasy footballers. That is our name. You can check us out on iTunes. Do you have any concluding thoughts, my friend? This is a memo to Andy Reed. Don't be afraid to throw a challenge flag.

Yeah. There's fantasy players who depend on you. Yes, this is true. All right. Well, that's it for the fantasy footballers. I am Andy. I am Mike. And we are out of here. I was just trying to think what else is. I probably owe TY Hilton, an apology. Yeah, he's on pace for a big time, big time year. 21, 700 plus yards right now. T.Y. Mr. Mr. T. Y. Mr. T. Y. Mr. T.

Mr. Holman. I'm sorry that I doubted. You are really good. I'm sorry I doubted your speed and your ability to have good catches. And your touchdown dance still sucks. So let's get rid of that, and then I'll jump on your bandwagon. There you go. It's just obnox. I don't know why it bothers me so much. I don't know why either. He's really good. But that's it for me.
