And so we invite you, check out, jointhefoot.com. A fantasy footballer's podcast coming to you from the fantasy jocks.com studios with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. I want Dak Fresco. As a Cardinals fan, is that what you mean? Yeah, it's just a, I mean, you talk about holiday gifts. There's nothing better than a franchise quarterback under your tree.

In the fourth round. Yeah. At a good price. He's got that Russell Wilson situation going on now in Dallas. Do you think Tony Romo sees the field at all this year? No. Do you think they'd take a chance or is it just... There's no way that they're going to give him a snap unless there's an injury. So it'll be Mark Sanchez for the final game? I don't think it'll be Dak. No, I don't think it'll be Dak. I mean, Dak for a quarter. For a quarter. I'm not saying he's going to miss the whole game.

But DAC's not playing that whole game. There's no chance. Maybe. Dak plays the whole game. Oh, my God. Let's do it. For lunch. No, no, no. Not for lunch. That one's not a fantasy. That's... Hey, water bet. Zero point zero percent chance. We've already got a sweep rule in effect. So if we get another bet going... Yeah, you told me that Zeke was going to have 25 carries yesterday. How many did he have? Well, he was too efficient. Oh, yeah, 12. He broke 55-yard... He broke 55-yard runs. Is that what you said? He'd only have 25 if he wasn't efficient?

Or were you just wrong? I was saying that they were going to give him the ball and play him, and he was going to have a great fantasy day, and he did. No, whatever. Whatever. All right, welcome to the show. We have week 16 in the books. We've got some week 17 titles on the line. We're still here. We've got the waiver wire on today's show. We have full stream ahead once again. Man, the quarterback streaming options are slim.

They're all owned now. I think that's part of the holiday celebration. You buy yourself a quarterback. You got to fill those bench for the tiebreakers. No, you're right. You're right. The ownership percentages are up. We're going to talk about that. We'll talk about Monday night football game as well. What a game. Apparently Carson Palmer turned 37 today and Jamal Charles turned 30. Uh-oh. Well, all right. Happy. Jamal. Percentage chance that Jamal Charles is in Kansas City next season. Oh. I'm going with 5%.

Really? I was going to go around 20. I'll go a full 50. Percentage chance that Doug Martin is a Tampa Bay Buccaneer next year. I will go. I think they owe him a lot of money next year. I'm going to go 5%. I'm going to look at his contract. Yeah, I think it depends on the contract. They're not going to take dead money for him. 15 million was guaranteed. It's a $35 million contract. Yeah, he's on there. They will take dead money. So seven, it looks like it would be a $7 million dead cap.

Next year. I think they'll take the deck out. I think he'll be out the door. Let's see what they do in the draft. Yeah. Yeah. So you'll think they'll just take the $7 million. I think he's gone. I don't think they will. I think he's gone. This is all based on news that he's going to be inactive again next week. Goodness, man. Not a good situation for Doug Martin. One has to wonder if he was healthy. One also has to wonder if it's that, you know, you get paid. And then one has to wonder if he's had two good years in his entire career.

Yeah, that's not, I mean, that's pretty good for a running back. Well, not a, what did he sign a $35 million running back? $1,400 plus yards last year. He's a good, he's a good running back when he wants to play, it seems like. Last night, guys, I told you it'd be an almost upset. I turned the game off in the second quarter. Did something happen? Just the bit outside. I was, I took the opportunity to gloat at 2114.

about both Ezekiel Elias Carey's and the almost episode of the week, obviously coming to fruition under the guide of Zach's inner. You didn't jump on board when it was zero zero and say this thing is. I know. I waited. This thing's close. You got, you were very happy if you had Eric Ebrun. He had eight catches. You were happy if you had Des Bryant. Des Bryant, welcome to the show. Great catch, one-handed catch. They just decided to throw a touchdown pass to Jason Whitten.

That had to have been annoying if you lost to Jason Whitten in your fancy title. I saw a meme of Tony Romo with his headset on on the bench and says he looks all dejected and the meme basically said when Des Brian gets to throw passes before you do. It's kind of sad. So Dallas took care of business. Does this make the Detroit game next week for the division? Yes. Is that correct? It makes it for the division. And I also believe they have to do if.

If they don't win the division and Washington wins, they're out. Detroit is out. Yeah. Yep. So you have, well, that's good for Green Bay Packer player owners. Good for Lion player owners. You've got things on the line there. Wanted to share a few close wins and bad beats from Week 16, the Foot Clan titles. We'll start here. I mean, Ian Burgess just tweeted us. He lost to his wife.

in two title games. Oh, that's a, hey, it's a good, uh, football family. Congratulations, Mrs. Burgess on the double. I mean, at that point, what do you do? You're done. Go back to your room. Lock the door. You're not, you're not feeling very happy. No. I'm not going to live that one down forever. No. We had one sent in from, uh, Blas mejos. Mejos. I don't know what his name is. It's, you get, first try.

Tough name. All right. He said, I won in a league. By 0.3, the guy I played had Ravens D left, and he, and he was only up by 0.3, and the Ravens D got zero. What? Hashtag Foo Klan title. Man. You did have, uh, this is one bad beat from John. He said he needed one more passing yard from Drew Brees for a three points. No. Stat bonus. And he lost by 2.9. Oh. Ouch. It is crazy how you can have these just.

Infinite combination of players. Yeah. And infinite possibilities of things that happen on the field. And so many of these championship games come down to one yard. Well, here, here's a perfect example. This one, this guy, uh, Rick G at Rick Guthr song. Nailed it. Said, uh, thought he lost the title when the DES touchdown pass went to Witten.

Until Prater missed the field goal and put him back up by 0.3. He won. Hashtag football title. Ben Cappers won by 1.02 points on Zeke's last touchdown. And then he sat the rest of the game. So he didn't see the field again. That had been tough for people that were coming back with Zeke. And then Zeke was benched. They didn't need him.

Zeke did everything he needed to do for your fantasy team. You saw that with Forte a couple weeks ago where Forte had like nine early points. He never touched the ball again. The rest of the game, you're just waiting, right? Somebody's waiting for Zeke. Give him one more touch. Another Des completed the monster comeback for Kevin Payne. He won by one hoping for no stat corrections. Yes. If you lost by less than a point, just wait.

Just wait till Thursday. Make sure maybe, maybe you want. Maybe the stack corrections will come. And if you won by less than a point, you know, you might, you might pump the gloat for a couple of days. No, no. You wouldn't? No, you win by 0.3. Mike's all in. He's already probably sent eight to 10 giffies while we've been on the show. But the hundreds of tweets of just saying people won their hashtag foot clan titles, it is such a pleasure to watch, to read those.

Congratulations to everyone out there that did get it done. You know, and everyone that wasn't able to, there's always next year. Stick around, but it's just so great seeing so many. We know how good it feels. Yeah, absolutely. News and notes from around the league. You're just giving yourself the best chance to withstand victories. That's what you do here. You got to do it. You give yourself the best odds.

T.J. Eldon's not going to help you if you're in week 17 or at all. T.J. Eldon on injured reserve. Kenneth Farrow on injured reserve. Obviously one week left. A lot of teams are doing this. I think Tyler Eifert went on injured reserve as well. If you're not going to play, to the IR. Let's give the spot to someone who's going to play. Rob Kelly. Soarney day to day. Wait and see next week. I guess Chris Thompson would be the natural slide-in option now that he's been performing well enough.

Tampa Bay reports Doug Martin will be inactive for week 17. This is, I mean, can you guys think of another situation where this has happened? Yeah, Matt Jones is his name. Well, Matt Jones is like a fourth round draft pick who was expected to be the started. Doug Martin was the bell of the ball. If Doug Martin had been healthy all year long, then it would be more of a story to me. But him being hurt.

He missed a bunch of time with the hamstring injury. Doesn't look like he's the same. His yards per carry went from 4.9 to 2.9 this year. So just like you said last year about C.J. Anderson, not looking right after an injury, you have to wonder if Doug Martin didn't look right because he's a better running back than that. He is. You don't lead the league in rushing yardage as a bad running back. You don't do it. His first game when he actually was healthy was also very poor. Oh, okay.

So his first game was poor. Well, there you have. Cool. Cool, Mike. Convincing. Well, one bad game. Okay. How about more bad years than good? More bad years than good. Did he leave the league in rushing last year? Yeah. Okay. Has he been terrible more than he's been good? I'm telling you, I say career. He has been bad more than he's been good. Okay. We'll agree to disagree. Pete Carroll said that he's unsure about Thomas Rawls' shoulder availability for week 17. Oh, not his shoulder. His shoulder will be available.

for use, but Thomas Rawls himself may not be. He dropped it off at the park. Forgot to pick it up. Spencer Ware is undergoing an MRI. Did we get results back on that MRI guys? Have you been in touch with the doctors? Everything that the doctors told directly to me was that he's just sore. Okay. The hypocritic oath is nonsense to us. No, it doesn't apply to fantasy football fans.

I think Tyree Kiel nearly matched him in carries last week. I mean, it was, well, that's not true. But he had like six or seven carries. It changes the script for that team, and it's not like they're going to stop doing that. So, all right, Paxton Lynch may be the starting quarterback for week 17. You might as well. Yeah, give him a shot. You're going to see those two guys compete for the starting job next year. That's basically what's going to happen in Denver. So Tom Savage will still be the quarterback. You know, I don't blame them. They've won both games with him behind center.

in a T.J. Yates kind of way. I mean, it's just, uh, okay. I mean, you, you win and you stay with him. There you go. Bryce Petty. Bad news for Robbie Anderson owners. Yes. Injured reserve. Robbie Anderson is also an injured reserve by this news. He's just, they might as well just, this is a funny week. This is a funny week. Dante Moncrief, uh, his shoulder may not be available either. MRI on it. Um,
