Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 15 Studs & Duds, Rising Stars, Christmas Wish List

I would, I mean, it's two straight games of complete nothingness. So it would depend on your options. And even when he was dominant, you know, in that run a few weeks ago. Touchdowns. It was touchdowns. It was a touchdown dependent thing, which, yeah, the probability of Jimmy Graham coming down with a touchdown is a lot higher than most tight ends. But are you going? I mean, he's cooling off. He is the exact opposite of heating up. This is two really bad games.

But Jason, you're still playing? I mean, I know the other options out there. And I think Jimmy Graham still, like you, I mean, you just said, he has a higher probability at getting a touchdown than most of the other options. So, I mean, sure, if I have, you know, another great option on my team and I can say, okay, I'm not going to play Jimmy Graham because I can put in Zach Hertz, then sure. But, I mean, most of the time you're.

You're going with, you know, is it Tyler Croft you're playing over him? Or is it, you know, Cameron Bray? You know, if I'm talking about guys like that, then I'm just going to keep rolling with Jimmy Graham because you have to. You say, sure, like a person that puts on like horseshoes onto a horse? Like you're a shoer? Yeah. All right. So just real quick. We're very early. The analysis has not been fully done on the weekend. But Jimmy Graham, you're putting the faith in that in him.

Or are you going to go with the tight end match? It's the killer ones. Like Arizona gets the Giants. And it could be Ricky Seals, who was disappointing, but has been putting up some monster weeks. The other one. The other great one is, is tough. Ping pong. Because it's Chicago. So Adam Shaheen was a late scratch. Maybe he's in. Maybe it's Dion Sims.

I'd be playing Jimmy Graham for sure on that situation. Probably on both. Tevin Coleman's out for the game tonight. Devante Freeman shall run wild. Yes. Would you make a cursory pickup of Trom Ward? Probably not. If you're the Freeman owner, if you're... If you're the Freeman owner, sure. I'm just saying Freeman's been concussed this year. I just am bringing it up. I believe Freeman has two.

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken. So you're expecting big things from Julio tonight. We're expecting to see everything and anything from James Winston, not a lot of expectations on that side of the ball. But I'm sure a lot of people with Mike Evans is Sean Jackson starting tonight. And then your money would be on Martin or Barber to have a bigger game tonight. I've been looking for any inkling in the news sphere of Doug Martin versus Peyton Barber. As of right now, I have received nothing.

to state if Peyton Barber will, in fact, be the starter tonight. So as of right now, you have to imagine that it's still Doug Martin. Yeah, my money would be on Peyton Barber, but my hopes, my Christmas wish list, if I can amend that. No. Oh. Put some on the back of the list? Yeah, the back of the list, Santa. I need Doug Martin to be a workhorse.

stud because you need him to go full C.G. Anderson at the end of the season. In the listener league, and this happened while we were recording the show in the listener league. I was able to move a player to the IR. Thank you, Damien Williams. And Doug Martin was out there, which is unbelievable.

And because he has not played that. Because he is on my team. He is a bear trap. Yeah, he is. But I lost Alf. A holiday wish for Doug Martin is. I need someone. Is a holiday wish for Crampus to show up and eat your children? Do you know what his current yardage is on the year? Doug Martin? Yeah. Oh, I know that he's real close to that 400. Because there are some requirements for his. Yeah, we know he asked to finish either with 1,400 yards. He's at 402. Is he? Yeah.

Oh, it's done. He's finishing in the 400. So that means he's only got 97 yards left. So for some of you that don't, that don't know this, Doug Martin in his entire career, he's either finished the season with 1,400 yards in that range or 400. His entire career. So he's completely like Brooks here in the studio. Sometimes a home run. But this is.

Or of a waiver wire. I'm just kidding. Browning face Brooks with the Santa hat on. It's really sad. It's really sad. This will be season four. Correct? With them in the 400? Yes. That no, this will be, yes, that's correct. Here's his, here's his career. 1454, then 456, 494, then 1402, then 421 and I'm right now at 402. It's so amazing. I would call that not good. If he.

Yeah, four out of six years, you've accumulated 400. How many of those were injury-laden? All of them. You destroy me on my love for Ryan Matthews. No, no, no. I'm not loving him. I'm not loving Martin. Okay, that's fair. Look, he's only played 16 twice, and you can guess which two that was. The scale has added up in the side of...

crampus is much higher than the other side. Oh, man. Are my kids going to get eaten for Christmas now? If you want Doug Martin to do well, that's the trade off. That's the trade. That is the trade. You want that listener league title. Hello, Jason. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm getting that listener league title. You'll still be a father. And by the way, go to footclan giveaway.com.
