Fantasy Football Podcast 2015 - NFC East Breakdown, News, Mailbag

drafted, what is that, previous drafted in round? Yes. Okay, so he can keep two of the following. Jamal Charles for a first, AJ Green for a second, Julio Jones for a third, Rob Grancowski for a fourth, Justin Forset for the 15th. Which two do you recommend keeping for the upcoming season? He's leaning Gronk Forset. Foreset's a no-brainer, right? I mean, to get in the 15th round.

a good running back for free, I think, to me, it is that way. And so then you're dealing with either Gronk in the fourth or Julio Jones in the third. Those guys are basically my number one wide receiver and my number one tight end. In that case. In that case, you go with the one with the better value. Yeah. I tried as hard as I could to convince myself to say Julio Jones, but I can't. I'm going to go force that grunt. Me as well. And just a personal note for the Foot Clan.

I just traded for Justin Forsett in our main league, and I made these two guys very upset. Yes, you did. Just a dumb deal. Yes, you did. So are you also Grunke and Forset? Yeah, fourth round. Hey, guys, this is my first time calling in. I'm the recent listeners to the show. I've been listening to about a few weeks now. I just got done the AFCE show. I love the Josh Huff shot out earlier. But my question is,

I feel like I am the only person I talk to who is huge on Mike Wallace this year. I really think that he's going to do well in Minnesota. I'm a big Teddy Bridgewater fan like the way he delivers the ball down field, and I really think Mike Wallace has a bit of upside this year. What do you guys' thoughts on that? I'll be honest. I've kind of been ignoring Mike Wallace a little bit, because I'm not sure what to make of him on that offense yet. Because I like what I saw from Charles Johnson, but Mike Wallace, Norv Turner offense.

ascending Teddy Bridgewater. I mean, are we missing something with him? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think we are. I really do. I think that Mike Wallace, for some reason, he's become, I think because of his own kind of prima donna antics of years past. And the contract. Yeah, and the contract stuff and things like that. We've kind of lost sight of the fact that he is a good wide receiver. And he is a fast wide receiver. He is a fast wide receiver who can catch balls. And last year for the first time was really showing that he's

Quality in the red zone, which is very important. You go to a team with Adrian Peterson on it and with Teddy Bridgewater. I think that the value there is legit, right? I mean, where... He was 86 for about 860 yards and 10 touchdowns last year. So he made his fantasy money in the end zone. He's going behind Charles Johnson. And that is where he should go to me. I think Charles Johnson is the premier receiver for the offense. I think he's playing the right position for the North Turner offense.

I don't think Wallace can put up more yards than he did last year in Minnesota. Yeah, and I'm not completely off of Wallace. I just don't like him for going with the team change. I like Teddy Bridgewater a lot as well, but his numbers were inflated by Red Zone touchdowns, and they got, if he stays healthy, they got the Red Zone reindeer up there, where Miami didn't really have a ton of options. That's Kyle Rudolph for those. Yeah, yeah, thank you. You think they use them at all in the running game, Percy Harvin style?

No. Okay. Yeah, probably not. All right, let's go to another voicemail question. Okay. Hello, this is Tony. Bat-da-da-da. Meatball. Just kidding. It's not. I love that guy, though. He's hilarious. Hey, guys. I've been listening to the show for a little bit now. Just a new listener, but I really love this stuff. And I had a question about converting a...

redraft league into a keeper league. I'm just curious what your general rules would be as far as the prices for the keepers, as far as like maybe rounds or dollars depending on if it's a re- or not a redraft auction or not. And yeah, just curious what your thoughts are on converting that into a keeper league. Thanks.

Yeah, we've done this ourselves many times and given this advice many times. There's a couple rules to follow. One is do it a year out. So make sure that you don't just do that before a draft and say, okay, we're going to do this, pick the guys you had last year because last year you didn't draft them in a keeper league. So come this year, that would be my first piece of advice. If you're going to abandon that and you're like, oh, shoot. Well, if everybody agrees to do it now. Sure. Yeah, if everybody's fine doing it. Then that's fine. And then, you know, what have you done?

If it's an auction for me, I'm going to find their average value, if you're in 100 or 200. Figure out what the average is, and then I'm going to subtract maybe 15%. Okay. So you're, because I don't like keepers to overpower. You know what I mean? Where I don't want the one guy to have four players. He has two RB-1s, and he's set up for massive success every single year. You need to have restrictions.

on possible position or for the payment of the player. Yeah, and I was going to say I'd apply the same rule to maybe the round situation. If you're coming into a keeper league, maybe use a list, whatever list you want to use, ESPN, Yahoo, whatever you're playing in. Use that and maybe back it off a round or two for that first season. Just reward people for drafting well and with a little bit. You can also scale up the positions. So if you plan on it being a three keeper league,

Keep one guy this year. Yep. You know what I mean? Or two or something. Give you the opportunity to draft most of your guys in light of that keeper situation. That's smart. Well, that about does it for our mailbag section. I don't know why I began with an F. The Foot Clan Mailbag. The Foot Clan listeners. Well, Foot Clan listeners. You know the drill.

We have Breaking New. You want to hit the button? A spot has been filled. That's right. Our good friend, the fantasy showgun, Craig. That's the best name. From Okinawa, Japan. He's in Okinawa right now. And he sent us this beautiful, beautiful traditional Japanese arch. And it's holding this laser engraved of our logo. And you would see it right now.

But I forgot it. I forgot it at home. Yeah, it'll be here next show so you can check it out on YouTube. Welcome to the league. But it is just fantastic. And so that speaks to, we're human beings.

We can be bribed? That was not a bribe. That was a gift. Oh, okay. You're looking at it all wrong, but we're human beings. We're human beings. Because we can accept a gift and the guy is the fantasy showgun, man. He's in the league. Hey, I love it. If you, yeah, if you want to be in the league, you can bribe us. We've already said that we'll accept $10,000. The precedent we've set is be creative.

Yeah, there you. Please, please. Let me beg you right now. And effort. Yeah, effort and creative. Don't, here's two rules for this. You will not get in the league if you send us an email and it says, if I do this, will you let me in the league? We're not going to email you back and say, yeah, go do it. We're going to let people in the league that have already done something impressive. Some of the things we've gotten are videos from people. But be creative. You can email us, league entries, mail at the fantasy footballers.com. You know, that's kind of the rules I have for that.

And don't send me your fantasy football resume, please. Don't screenshot your Yahoo trophy case. And that's just, because this league is for fun. Yeah. Like, we're not trying to make a... We're going to play, too. Yes, it's competitive, but I'm saying we're not trying to assemble the most hardcore winningest players of all time. We want to beat you. Yeah, unless your trophy case is empty on Yahoo, don't apply.

So that about does it for today's show, though, guys. Hey, do not miss. I'm telling you right now, do not miss Thursday show. Oh, yeah. I'm not going to tell you why. We're going to announce that.
