Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - ADP Price Check, Fantasy News, Mailbag

Basically lottery ticket guys. Guys that you take late in the draft, they have a lot of upside guys that could surprise. You know, Andrew Hawkins is the name we've been thrown out this week in the studio when you talk about, even Terrell Pryor. Guys that you, you're like, okay, somebody has to catch the ball in Cleveland. Somebody has to catch it in Cleveland. I think, you know.

Yeah. What kind of role does Muhammad Sunu have in Atlanta as a two? You know, you saw twos with relevance last year. They paid him money. They brought him in. I think Tavon Austin's volume. Yes. That's the great name. Of any names you've thrown out so far, that's probably the highest. I'm high on Sammy Coates. You're high on Kamar Akin. Oh, yeah. I love Kamar Akin as well, just from a matter of circumstance. I think that he ends up playing another big role. The aforementioned Jeff Janice, I think he's a great late round pick. What about Philip Dorset?

It's very possible. If Moncrief continues to struggle getting back from his injury, then Dorset is one of those deeper sleeper guys that could be kind of a lottery ticket. I think even without that, I believe that their offense is going to shift. I mean, they're going to go, I think they're going to go three wide.

Because they had Dwayne Allen and Kobe Fleener, and they were trying to emulate this two tight-end Patriots set, and I think now they're trying to emulate something else so that you have the three wides, it's baffling to us, and me especially, how you can spend a first-run pick on Dorset and not have an immediate place for him. So I think that they'll switch to three-wide, which could lead to more just regular week-to-week Dorset value.

Looking at our ultimate draft kit as well, Chris Hogan would be someone who can get very, very late. It's just one of those lottery ticket type guys. If he ends up with that number one outside receiver role for Tom Brady, who's probably going to come back and in four fewer games break the touchdown record with Fury, I would want a piece of that. We saw LaFelle finish as a wide receiver won a couple years ago.

All right, Nick in Alclair, Wisconsin. So I have a friend who won our fantasy league a few years ago, and we ran in a two-quarterback league. He won the first season and upon winning fantasy basketball and baseball, and baseball. He declared himself a fantasy god and retired. Two years ago, he came out of retirement and hasn't gotten close to winning since. Yeah, Jordan in baseball. We're in the 45. We also...

We've also gone to a one QB. He continues to argue for a two QB system saying it makes the league more fun. What are the pros and cons of a two quarterback system? Does it make it more fun? Yes. Guys, set it straight. Did you say yes? I did say yes. You like two quarterbacks is more fun? Not necessarily more fun because I can't even have more fun than I already have in my leagues and most of them are quarterbacks. It's too much fun. But I will say this. Whenever I decide what's more fun, what's less fun, it always comes down to more strategy.

for me. Like, I don't like the kickers because I feel like the strategy isn't there, but I like the fab because there's more strategy every week of save money, spend money. I like adding more things that make more decisions. The quarterbacks right now are, I guess I have a lot of fun streaming, which you don't do in a two quarterback, but I would say for the draft, it makes quarterbacks valued more like they are in the NFL.

Both are great systems. If you want to stream and have an easier time beating the average fantasy football guy out there, then do a one quarterback league. Yeah, I agree. It's two quarterbacks. It increases the scarcity for the quarterback. So their important sky rockets. But as a matter of fun, I mean, that's just personal. I love the challenge of...

trying to get a late round quarterback, see if it hits, and then if it doesn't, then week to week, like, going full, full, like, I'm trying to think of a good analogy, but just stones. That's all I can throw out there of, like, do you have the courage, the intestinal fortitude to throw out Josh McCowan versus the Ravens?

when he ends up as the week, the highest scoring quarterback of the week because you knew it was a great matchup. I like that stuff. I'm going to amend my answer. Honestly, the more that I think about this.

The more that I think I have so much fun streaming and playing the waiver wire through the year. It's something that, look, I love draft season. Draft is great. But you win your championships through the rest of the season, making the right move, starting the right guy, picking up the right waiver claims. And in that system, a one quarterback league provides more fun for a longer period of time. So I'm going to say one quarterback more fun. Official?

Is that your final answer? That's official. One quarterback's officially more fun. They can write it down. It's science. It's easily provable. Yeah, this is not opinion. All right. Well, that does it for today's show. I'm really excited about Thursday. We got Pat Mayo, the Fantasy Sports Network, coming on the show. We're going to be talking tears. You guys have asked.

So much about tiers and we've broken down all of our rankings, all of our tiers. You can see our rankings on the website, fancy footballers.com. You can see our tiers in the ultimate draft kit, ultimate draft kit.com. And we're going to be talking through some of the tier information asking Pat Mayo about some of these bubble guys. Do they belong in tier one or tier two? Do they belong in tier three or tier four? Where should they be? Because that's how you make a lot of really smart decisions where you're drafting in your leagues when you're trying to decide between positions.

It's the tiers that really help you figure that out. And so if you don't know what we're talking about, we're going to give a good overview of tears on Thursday. We'll talk through our rankings and our tiers, and I'm excited for that. So it's going to be a lot of fun. Coming up, a couple of shows ahead of that, we're going to have a mock draft episode again. Yep. One of the most favorite episodes of anybody who's listened to the show because you see all the thought process that goes behind picking players.

And we might have some special guests on the show as well. We're still confirming some of that. Yeah, we're still working it out. It would be over the top. I mean, the full planet lose their mind. And a final reminder, please podcastawards.com.

Unlike Jason and I, who were more departed from it, Mike was, you could tell, he had very little energy because a vote had not been cast in the last 15 minutes, and he actually eats the votes. This means all things to Mike. It's everything. It's his ability to, what, taunt your wife on a regular basis about being an award.

Word-winning podcaster. Oh, that will be probably a daily occurrence. So, okay, before we close, I'm going to give you the chance to do this, because on the show after the show, we're talking about Game of Thrones. And so I want you to tell your story about your parenthood moment. Oh, we're jumping to that? Yeah, I want you to talk about your son, if you don't mind, about you tweeted it, so. All right, so it's quite the conundrum. So, Foot Clan, we often talk about adventures of being a dad, and I had a...

a situation arise where I had to think very quickly, I had to make my decision in the blink of an eye. I don't know if you had caught my tweet a week or so ago that I said, was poking fun at my son. I mean, he's only five, and he was playing Mario Kart, and he was really bad. He's been practicing, and he is very good. He stepped it out. He got very good at that game very fast, but here's the deal.

Your dad still reigns supreme of the Super Mario card. And we're on a stage, and he ends up passing me. I am in second. We are on the final lap on basically the final stretch. I have a straightaway. I have the red shell locked and loaded. Kill him. And like I said, straightaway, there's nowhere he can go to avoid it. And he's heading toward the finish. If I shoot it, he goes down, probably drops into like fourth.

And then I would be in first place. And I had to decide, do I let my son win? Or do I, you know, teach him that life is not fair. And I held. I restrained. I let him take the win. And you know what I was rewarded with for my, what I thought was the right thing to do? He jumps up. He is standing on the chair. And he says, Dad.

I won. I was like, yeah, he says, in your face, dad. Sounds like you're his dad. Definitely your son. I was hurt, but I was also very proud that I got the in your face, but it's like, you don't even know what I could. I could have ruined your day. I think you made the right call, my friend. You took the humble route and now you'll have to teach that route to your son. It was tough. Or next time you win and jump up on the chair yourself. See you guys.
