Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - Jaw-Dropping Stats, ADP Changes, Mailbag

But four more broken tackles? I have a question here before I can answer. Well, he hasn't said the list yet. All right. Say your list. Jamal Charles, Lamar Miller, Aryan Foster, or Fat Eddie Lacey. Hmm. Well, you have a clarification. Yeah, so clarification. Was it they caught more than 60 less or 60 less? Could be either. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, just, I know that... You're such a... 60's a nice round number. Yeah. That's why we... All right. Well, I'm not going to choose Lamar Miller. I'm going to choose... The obvious outlier here. Boy, this is tough. I am indecided now. I want to go Aryan Foster, so I will. Okay. I was going to go Lamar Miller based on my Cole Beasley strategy.

But you talked to me off of that and the way you put that on the question. I think that the most receptions out of this group and all of these, I think, qualify for 60 fewer. The Matt Forte is Eddie Lacey. I'm going fat Eddie. Yeah, that's probably right. The answer is Eddie Lacey. Yeah. Oh, Eddie, the beat down. The beat down is happening. So listen to these numbers. I still got three questions left. Jamal Charles had 12 on 40 receptions. Lamar Miller only four on 30 receptions. Aaron Foster.

Only four on 38 receptions. Eddie Lacey, 24 on 42 receptions. I just thought he was too obvious. I watched enough vines of him breaking 10 tackles on a single play out of the backfield that I just thought, oh, he's not going to be him. At least 30% was on that one catch against Minnesota. Let me say this for fantasy. What Arian Foster does is Arian Foster breaks a tackle and he's gone.

What Eddie Lacey does is he breaks a tag. He's like Marshawn Lynch. Breaks a tackle, breaks a tackle, breaks a couple, breaks through that tackle, gets caught, breaks through that tackle. So each time he's like breaking five tackles. And his spin move is amazing. Yeah, I love it. It's worth saying, like, I mean, I was an owner of Eddie Lacey last year. A lot of people were. A lot of people started the year and was worried about him. But they started using him in the passing game a lot more in the second half of the season. And he broke a lot of big plays, including...

a few tackles on his way to a long 50, 60-yard touchdown towards the end of the season. So they have a lot of trust. He had a lower, I believe a lower drop percentage than anybody on the team. He was, I think, the most efficient receiver on the team. Yeah, which is just incredible because I don't think people see it that way. Are they worried that Sarks comes in in those third down situations? Well, you call him fat Eddie, and a guy you call that, you're...

Oh, he can't catch. He's got meaty hands. And then he breaks that first tackle. He's got a nice, big soft hands to catch those balls, cushioned. Well, and then it ends up him versus a cornerback on the outside, and who's going to win that every single time? Yeah. So, all right, Jason's got a two-point lead. That's fine. I can come back here. Next question. So this is not multiple choice. All right. I'm going to have a harder time. Yeah. Of the top 15 RBs with the most carries. Does that make sense? Okay. Yep, it does. So top 15 running backs in carries.

Only three had a yard per carry average under four. So a sub four yard per carry average, top 15 volume. So you're looking for all three of them? I would like all three of them. I'll give you, yeah. So Forte. Matt Forte is obvious. So we'll wipe him clean that way. So we don't get points. There's two more. So Matt Forte was one of them. I'm going LaShaah McCoy. That is incorrect. Andy. That was just done. No, no, no. So this is what we'll do. We'll go back and forth.

Of the top 15 running backs with the most carries. Okay. Let me think here. Everybody I'm thinking of has over four per carry. Yeah. It's hard. Only three guys in the top 15, under four yards per carry. Alfred Morris? Incorrect. Okay. Man. I wish I wish I...

could have just a list of those top guys because then it would be super easy. Yeah. I feel like to pick them out. Trying to think of, uh, uh, let's see. So we know Forte is one of them. And, um, number of carries. No, I don't think he got here, but I'm going to throw out there Bishop Sanky. No, he was not a top 15 RB involved. Well, it's just in carries. I mean, when you have one, I got a guess. He only got to get something. Geo Bernard. Incorrect.

Not enough carries probably. Yeah, he got hurt and missed a lot of time. We are failing. All right. So, so we start a hint system here? Yeah, for sure. Oh, yeah, when it's Jason's turn. Yep. Well, Andy, I'll give one. Yours should be easy then. So for Jason, he was a, he started the year as a number two running back, and the main guy got injured, so he got a high volume of carries. Hmm. This is difficult.

That's all right. Man, that is tough. That is tough. The first guy that came to my head is the exact opposite of under four yards of carry, which is your boy, Jeremy Hill. He was not under... Yes, correct. No. He'll be my answer to the next question. He wears blue. Yeah, I've got... I think I have a guess. Well, say it. Andre Williams? Correct. Oh! Yeah.

Yeah, because Rashad Jennings went out and Williams was bad. The final guy. He was in the top 15? Yeah. Like that never even came to mind. Because he played so bad. That never came to mind because I was like, there's no way he was top 15. I feel like Bishop Sanky got more carries than him. No, no. The final guy is one of Andy Holloway's specials for this year. Oh, Chuck Bell. You know it. He was below for.

Of course. Because that's what he is. He's a sub-for guy. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I should have guessed him right away knowing you would. All right, I'll give that one to Andy. Yeah, no, that's because I got one right and you didn't. That would be a good reason to give me a point. It's just because I'm gracious. So we go tit for tat here. All right. Of the top 15 RBs with the most carries, only three had an over 5.0 yard per carry average. Don't you dare say Jeremy Hill and expect points for that.

No, no, no, no. Jeremy Hill's off the board, just like, uh, just like Forte was off the board. I'm going with my boy, Forsett. Correct. Because he was amazing, he had like 5.4 something ridiculous. 5.4, you got it. So for the listeners, Jeremy Hill is number two. Jamal Charles? Nope. Not enough carries. No, he was in the... He just didn't get up over five. No, I thought he was at five.

If I broke the system, then I get a bonus. That's true. Aryan Foster. Nope. What? I thought for sure both of those guys. Hold on. I'm auditing Jamal Charles here. 5.0 a carry. Was he in the top 15 of carries, though? 206 attempts. I don't know if that was enough. Checking. One moment, please. I can check too. DeMarco Murray. Nope. He will. So it's a guy who you will not expect. He is a Mike Fantasy Hitman guy this year.

Um, I'm looking at rushing attempts. So I'm kind of cheating here. That's funny. Marking. That's a lot of cheating. Yeah. All right, Mike. Lamar Miller. Lamar Miller. 5.1. And he was 15th in carries overall. By the way, Jamal Charles was 16th and carries. That's why he wasn't on your list. Yes. Thank you. So no bonus points for me. And I'm going to need this next. I got four set in there. So I'm going to go ahead and give myself. That's right. That's right. All right. Obviously, the last questions is worth more points. So.

Moneyball. So final question. All right. I am a tight end. And I was in the top 10 for targets, receptions, yards after catch, yards per reception, missed tackles, and longest play of a tight end. My name is not Rob Grunkowski. Honestly, when I, when I, he's in there, he's, Antonio Gates. He's another guy who makes it. No.

Jason Button. No, it's got to be Travis Kelsey. Nope. What? Greg Olson? Nope. Wow. Martellus Bennett? We're getting stupid. Wow. Okay. Well. Just tell us. I've already lost. Delaney Walker. That was my 17th next guess. Yeah. Wow. Impressive. Delaney Walker was quite good last year. He's a big play guy. He gets...

He gets volume. He's a tight end to not forget about for a guy who is upside who will go very late in the draft. Jason, I want to congratulate you on your very thrilling victory. Thank you very much. I have a possible super bonus point question if you want me to go with it. We'll go through real quick because it's not multiple choice. In 2014, we averaged 4.7 plus yards per carrier, yet we remain.

Free agents. There's three running backs who have 4.7 and above, but they're free agents. And above and they are free. The one hint I'll give you is all of them are lower volume of rushing attempts for one reason or another, whether it's the system or injury. Man, that is, Jason's trying to cheat now. Whatever it takes to win.

I have no idea. Yeah, give them out, Mike. Pierre Thomas. Okay. Makes sense. No Sean Moreno. All right. And Ahmed Bradshaw. Huh. Those are three guys that definitely Bradshaw and, what was the second name you just? Moreno. Oh, Moreno, yeah. And they both started off really good. Moreno's coming off an injury, but. Very interesting. That has been Mike makes us feel stupid. Yeah. That's trivia time. What's the fan is he hit, man. Those are some pretty outside the box.

sets of information, but I think that's helpful too because, you know, Delaney Walker is a guy that I didn't realize was in that many categories. I would have thought it was one of the main guys that we talked about. Honestly, I would have thought it was several, considering it was just in the top ten. I thought lots of guys would have been there. Yeah, to be in all those categories, though. There was... Yeah. So, uh, let's go ahead and transition. We got a whole bunch of mailbag questions to answer. Lots of people sending in questions. So, uh, we always like to get to as many of those as we can. So let's do that now. Mailbag.

My old page. I want to play a game. Man, Malaney Walker. That's my favorite drop of all time. Mailbag section, we're going to answer some questions. 302-464 TFFB is the phone number if you want to call us and just ask your question onto our voicemail. Right? Yeah, that's how you leave a voicemail. Yeah. I mean, I suppose, you're not going to get us. We're not going to answer the phone. Maybe. Hello? Hello? Is this?

You're on the air. You're on the podcast. Keep it concise, though, because, you know, we don't got it all day, seriously. And you can email us, mail at the fantasy footballers.com, and we will put your question on the show as well if we can, if we got time for it. So let's go ahead and answer some questions. Let's go to the first one. Quick keeper question for you. One team standard league, Lacey in the second, Des in the third, Cobb in the eighth, and Emmanuel Sanders in the 11th.

Keep two. I'm tempted to keep Julio and Bryant and have that wide receiver slot locked down. But I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Does anybody you want to volunteer on this one? Well, I definitely think you take Lacey in the second. Just getting a whole round value out of one of the top two running backs this year, I wouldn't be able to sacrifice that on my team. That's just my personal opinion, and then I would definitely take Julio in the fourth.

All right. Those are my two. So I don't need to talk anymore. Lacey and Julio. I need to make that consensus button. Yeah. We just need to put like one of those bells in here. You know what I mean? Everyone would hear it. Yeah. We'll get that for next week. The four times we play it all year long. Yeah. All right. So we say Lacey and the second, Julio, and the fourth. So let's go to the next one. Yes. My name is Dustin. I'm from California. I have a question for your fancy football. I'm in a 16-man league. It's a keeper league.

You can keep up for three people. I have Eddie Lacey, Giovanni Bernard, Jeremy Hill, and Payne and Manning. And if we keep all three people, or if we keep two or one, et cetera, we forfeit our first three picks in the first round, second round, and the third round. I was leading towards Payne Manning, Eddie Lacey, and Jeremy Hill as my keepers. You recommend that? Or also, I have Lamar Miller.

You recommend keeping three people. I'm in the ESPN standard league. It would be six points for each touchdown pass. Thank you. Have a good. Okay, so he threw a wild card in there. Yeah. So Eddie Lacey, Gio Bernard, Jeremy Hill, Peyton Manning, or Lamar Miller. If he doesn't keep three, he gets to get those draft picks back. So what's the consensus here? Eddie Lacey and Jeremy Hill are Givens, right? Yeah, I mean, what's nice?

I mean, you're not getting really any special value on any of these guys, but you're at least locking up elite players that you know are there for you. You don't have to take any of the chance, any of the lottery. So in the third round, would you rather have Geo, Peyton, or Lamar Miller? Or nobody, right? Or nobody. Or nobody. Because for me, I would go either nobody.
