Footballers AMA + Fantasy Burns, Coach Speak - Fantasy Football Podcast for 6/20

And funny enough, you know, two of those are the Jaguars, where if I'm remembering it right, that was like, that was the James Robinson years. But that's, you have to have literally everything of the backfield like James Robinson did. And that's my question for Remandre with Gibson coming in. If Gibson is the pass catcher and Ramandre is the one and two down grinder, maybe goal line, it'll be tough to meet his ADP. Ironically, he was the top 12 running back on a losing team for the Patriots in 2022. So he is, yeah, not the worst team, but yeah, they were a losing team. Yeah. So it'll be, it'll be an interesting thing to watch. I think that obviously I put my, I put my chips in to trade for him. The nice thing is, is that the Patriots do have a very good defense. So it's not one of those situations where you're going to get, where they're not going to be able to continue running the ball.

Sometimes you have a bad offense or a bad team where it's just like it doesn't matter what you want to do. You can't run anymore. And they're going to have close games because of their defense. Healthy games last year for Romandre, he was 11.3 points per game. So one of the things that kind of I think knocks him down a little bit is he missed the last four and a half weeks of the year. He's RB 22 right now in ADP, which doesn't seem super depressed. So, I mean, he's he's around. David Montgomery, Najee, Rahim Mostert. Pollard? Yeah. Yeah, you said Najee. Zemir. Yeah. So if he did this coming season, what Tony Pollard did last season, you know, how he produced, how effective, if he has a Tony Pollard-esque season, are you going to be happy? Is that something where you go, okay, Ramondra was a really good pick?

Or Romandre was fine. If he's the running back 15, you're saying? Yeah, if he has the season just like Pollard did. I mean, yeah, I mean, Pollard was marked by incapability to cross the goal line. But yeah, if he's the RB 15 on the year being drafted at RB 22, that'd be amazing. That's enough of a. The reason I bring up Pollard's name is because you said in his healthy games last year, it was like 11.2 fantasy points per game. In half PPR. Pollard was 11.5. So it was basically right around there. Yeah. Yeah, I would be thrilled compared to if I get them in the back of the 6th is RB 15. And over the last three years, the ADP running back 22 or I'm sorry, like the finish of the running back 22 is about 10.2 points. So if you got 11 per game, then that would be a great draft pick. All right. Instagram question from RAM. How many people?

are in the company Slack. Do they all listen and listen to each recording live? No, they do not. We don't broadcast over the Slack. We do have a system. So, of course, everyone in the room hears it. But if you're not in the room, in the office, we have a large television that just whatever is being shown on the recording on the YouTube, they can see that while it's happening. So they have the option to watch, but it. Like how many people are in the Slack? Tons across our entire company Slack. But as, you know, when we're doing the show, we've got like a production channel. And that's really just the people that are pretty much in this room, usually during the recording. You know, all of our writers are in our company Slack, all of our employees. So I would say total across everything, we're, you know. 50. Is it that high? I think it might be that high. Wow. But, yeah, production channel is 11.

This is a very interesting question. Never been asked that before. Yeah, that's a first. Very specific. Is that because we have shared like screenshots from what's happened in Slack before? Could be. All right. Instagram question from MC Shaq 86. Can Jason wear all white for a show if Marvin Harrison breaks the rookie receiving yards record? Yep. Book it. Okay. 100%. That's a great bet. That's a great bet. If it happens, I mean, here's the thing. Jason will have a white. shirt on and a white hat and a white hat yeah i'm just saying i don't know if you'll have pants no no marvin harrison white he tidies though too i yeah i completely full white one hundred percent agree with that i no pants whitey tights white shirt well otherwise you wouldn't know if i've got whitey tighties on uh i don't i'll take your word for it absolutely okay yeah no problem so uh 1,486 receiving yards let's go Marvin he could do it

He could do it. He could do it. I mean, obviously it's the record so you don't expect him to. He shouldn't do it. All right. Well, this question is a keep trade cut comes in from Buckeye on Instagram. And during this week where we've pre-recorded a couple of shows, we're all on taking our families on vacation. I'm currently as you're listening in Lake Tahoe. Jason, I'm not sure what he's doing. Mike. Mike is going on a tour of theme parks. And taking the kids to the theme parks. Yep. This keep trade cut is Disneyland related. Okay. It's so easy, Jason. Jungle crews, Pirates of the Caribbean, haunted mansion. Keep trade cut. So easy. Pirates of the Caribbean, easy, easy keep. Yeah. 100%. Haunted mansion. Trade. Has to be the trade. Yeah. It's got super value. Look at, I think it's down right now, actually.

It's because they're doing a huge refurb on it. Disney nerd stuff. But like you end up in Halloween time, they change it to be Nightmare before Christmas. Then it's regular. I mean, tremendous value on this ride. And Jungle Cruise is just, it's, it's fun, like, nostalgic fun. Hackney dad jokes. I love the jungle cruise. But it's, it's the script and the script is always the script. I agree with that, but it's fun. Yeah, I will say... I'll ride it, guys, come on. The trade value of the Haunted Mansion, definitely superior. Has to be the trade you cut Jungle Cruise. But if I have to pick one of those to go on, I would much rather go on the jungle cruise. Oh, over Pirates? No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, over Haunted Mansion. Pirates was out of the... We almost had to fight. Pirates is the key. And then we're talking about the rest. Okay. All right, let's take a quick break. Come back with some more questions.

Instagram question from T. Hilden says which footballer would have the best chance on the reality show Survivor. Andy. That's all so easy. That's handy. Yeah. And it's not because he is more survivalist. It's because I've never watched announce to the show. What do they do on that show? I don't know how the games are played. They survive. Yeah. One of them does. I think the rest are dead. I've never watched. Andy is a diehard survivor watcher. Papa Josh always. Papa Josh always thinks that he. would dominate on that show because he's also a fan. Think so many things about himself. Like, world. I think he could be the first one voted out. World. If we could all strive to have the confidence that Papa Josh has about just things that you could never do, but he believes in his heart 100% that he has said that he could safely remove a gallbladder via watching a YouTube instructional video.

So that is where we're at. Yeah. And this is what we get every day in the office, every day. I don't think Josh would be the first one voted out at all. I certainly don't think he would win. I really, I think you could win, Andy. I don't know. Wait, there's physical stuff though, right? Yeah. Oh, never mind. Do you want to go right now? You want to go do some challenges? I think Survivor would be really fun. What was his nickname at the beginning of the show? Blah, blah, blah. You're going down. Yeah, knowing the rules would help, though, for me and Josh. All right. YouTube question from LaVan. If there was no fantasy football or football anymore, what sport would you play fantasy in? Definitely basketball. Basketball.

Basketball is really, it's a fun sport for fantasy. Not everybody knows. Andy and I basically started our friendship back in high school over fantasy basketball. We were big NBA fans and gotten a league together, and that's where it started. And that's the only other sports league worth watching. I would actually choose baseball because I find... I'm neurotic and would like to check things more often. It's a full-time job. Yeah, that's what I mean. If that's all you're doing, it's... Call in the work. Can't make it in. You sick? No. I'm in a fantasy baseball league, and I just don't have the time for you. Let me paint you the picture. Guess what? You woke up. You want to check your phone. You got some points. Afternoon. You want to check your phone?

There's games going on. Evening, games. Tomorrow, games. It never ends. Do you want to know what I love about the NFL? I love that the NFL is not every day. That there's like the majority, well, yeah, they're getting close. But like that the majority of the games is like, it hits that day. It's that event. You know, Sundays are just for football in the season. I need, I need to take breaths. I don't want. When I see people who play fantasy baseball, oh my goodness. It's just like, it's like self-harm. Website question from Alec. Do you change the percentages in the show to be to be 55 so you can use the drop or are there really that many things that happen to be 55? It's a magical number, my friend. No, we've never changed any percentage. If I promise you. We've rounded up. If the song was 38 or 62 or you.

You would hear it just as much. Yeah, we find them. I'm just saying, like, every number is set on this show. We just happen to always hit the 55 because of the bit. Now, our staff is claiming that Kyle seeks them out. Yeah, for sure. But there's still, we don't know how many times he's done that? Favorite dessert? Kyle wants to know. This is a different Kyle. Instagram question from Kyle. What is your favorite dessert? Bread pudding! You announced it. If bread pudding is on a menu. Like you were in the court of a king. If bread pudding is a good menu and I will be ordering said bread pudding. What exactly is bread pudding? It's moist cake. I mean, I don't know why it's called bread pudding, which sounds awful. But it's just basically it's a. Will it lower your voice? It has successfully lowered my voice. Okay. Ice cream.

and I would say, look, it's apple desserts, but specifically the cracker barrel. You have always had a soft spot. I don't know if it's there because it's been a while since I've, I've, a patron, a cracker barrel, but they have an apple dumpling dessert that is, oh, brother. We've gone splits skis on that a few times. You've also gone solo on those a few times. Yeah. Yeah. It's better that way. Sometimes we're like, hey, do you want to split it? And then I say, two apple dumplings. Yeah, we're going to, we're splitting these. We're going to split the bill. He'll split two. Please cut half of that and put it into my tray. Frankie wants to know who would win in a three-way anything goes cage match between the three of you. I would. It's Jason, because anything goes, Andy and I will still have a line of civility that we can't cross as men. The Geneva Convention stuff. Yeah. Jason will see anything goes to be like, well, yeah.

Okay. I want to win. I'm starting the fight with kick to the balls. That's the... This is what I mean. This is what I mean. Bell rings. Bell rings. And then bell rings. You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. Yeah, Jason. Jason would win by a lot. See, this is not an okay question. Ask me anything. This is really putting it to the test. Jeff Beyer 40 minutes into the show. People aren't still listening, right? Should I skip this one, Mike? It's, no, we got it. It's fine. Has anybody deuced in Deucer's Alley? Let's ask them. Hmm. We have respect for each other back here. It's a small space. But has anyone at least farted in Deucer's Alley, like during the show? Yeah. Okay. Because I can, I, I am, I'm a small amount of respect for each other.

I'm a fart master, okay? I can almost fart on command, and I've got lots of guests. I'm a fart master. Keep that quote out for the show. And I can say we've done thousands of shows. Never? Never one time if I farted in the studio. For a man who would kick us square in the Cajonese to start a cage match, he has a- I don't believe this. Jason has a ridiculous level of fart etiquette. I can, I know when to do a roundhouse fart kick and the time is right or a jump splits. Yeah, I mean, he is not a, he's really not a fart in company man. No, not unless, you know, small group of company. There, you know, there are some that are listening that, you know, my family would go, not a fart company man. That's a lie. But yeah. Is there a point where a relationship with somebody that you're building, a friendship.

gets to where they graduate into that company? Oh, absolutely. That's how you know. Do you need them? Do you need them to fart first? No, no, no, no, no. That's the way I tell them I love them. Okay. Let them know. Hey, and he tells them a lot. He showers them with love. All right. You're going to love this. All right. This question comes in from Instagram. Fantasy related. from Brian. He says, why do you rag on week 18 championships? Yet you include it in your end of season finish. So they're talking about like every week is included in the rankings. So it's kind of included and kind of not. Obviously when you're programmatically, systematically looking at a season, you want every, you want as large data sample as you can have. The players played that week. And so we need to include that when we're just making

good analysis. However, if you go back to like the truth series, we start every, you know, pretty much new offseason with the truth of running base, the truth of wide receivers. We go through by hand and we take out the week 18 games that had nothing. They weren't playing for anything. They weren't playing for anything or they played for a half or a quarter or, you know, those, those weird situations. And we do take that out for that time of analysis. When you look at like, our website or whatever, we're not going to just automatically delete a game played. But you can't easily select on most of our tools, Weeks 1 through 17. Yeah, absolutely. The problem is not every elite player is going to play. That's the problem is that you run into a team where you were a great fantasy football player. You invested in whatever, the Cincinnati Bengals. And this is the year that they erupted to the point of.

They're going to rest everybody. So now on the final week of the season, because they have the buy locked up. And now you don't have your elite players. So that's just, that's why we don't like week 18. There's still plenty of teams that are playing for things. And they're playing real games. And so don't remove that. See how they did. Yeah. Most of the NFL in the final week of the season is exceptionally important. Yeah, there's only one by week now. Yeah. YouTube question from Franco. Do you guys still play any video games? Are you guys still playing World of Warcraft? Oh, that's hilarious. Me and my nerd club, the D&D, we were talking about World of Warcraft and just thinking about your toes back in? I've, I have thought about it so many times. And my buddy was like, dude, I'm thinking about installing. I'm like, you can't go back. Like, you just have to live in those incredible memories that we all built losing two years of our lives to a fake online existence.

But it was really, really fun. I play a good amount of Fortnite because I play with my kids. I haven't played a video game in probably like... You play on you. Are you two years? Demeaning your phone video games? Oh, yeah, yeah. Those aren't real video games? No, those aren't video games. When you're just like doing a toilet game, that's not playing video games. No, playing video games is... sitting down to play them a gaming console or a gaming PC like that that's that's a video game to me and I haven't played that in like probably two years I feel like the next video game I'm going to play is Red Dead 3 so like 2026 oh that'll be a lot longer than that yeah probably that'll probably be 2036 yeah we got to get gta 6 before yeah um from time to time I'll jump on play some rocket league play some games with pop and Josh played uh

Hell divers too. Yeah. Yep. Hell divers. I jump in with Papa Josh. Papa Josh is the resident gamer of this office. I mean, he's been known to get out of here early to go play some games. Yeah, I mean, that's, he's known to do that daily. That is, uh, every day has a podcast about video games. Yeah. I mean, that's fair. What's your dumb podcast name? Yeah. All right. Uh, the video gamers podcast. Where'd you get that name? I don't know. Just kind of came to me one day. Also, I need a day off. Yeah. Not related. My listeners are about to skyrocket. All right. Last one here from, it's from X. If you had to live east of the Mississippi, what state would you choose? Oh, East Coast life, huh? A.k.a. Least coast. Nice. Get them. Well, it's the West is the best. For sure. I don't know. What's over there?

What's on the eastern side of the United States? Some amalgamation of states. I would probably. New York? Yeah, New York is the first thing that comes to mind. I can't fathom living in Manhattan. I'll go Tennessee. That's east, right? Oh, yeah, okay. East of the Mississippi? That is. I'll go Nashville. 100%. I'm with you. I'm living in Nashville. I loved Nashville when I went. Yeah. Man, it's, does Nashville have, because the. A problem with the South East. Got hot chicken, I know that. They do. It's delicious. Like the Southeast, we complain about summer weather here, but they are at the table. They're allowed to complain about summer weather as well. So, I mean, I don't. Tennessee's pretty. Like, how's Maine? Does anyone live in Maine? It's cold. That's all right. You don't mind it? I don't think so. Do you like lobster? No. You can't go to Maine and not eat lobster. Crap.

But it does seem to fit your like, I'm just barely, I just want to barely be in the U.S. Yeah. Up at the tippy top. That'll be great. All right. That is going to do it for today's episode.
