Indy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Good morning, everybody. It's Tuesday, September 29th. The year is 2015, and we are the fantasy footballers. Yeah. And the blood moon, the blood moon rises on the fantasy world, and definitely benefited Jamal Charles. Jason just rammed himself into our death.

Just getting comfortable. I like to smash. Welcome to the show. Did you guys hear that drop at the beginning? Hall of Fame running back. Marshall Falk. We should have had him say good close personal friend. Yes. He is on the show today. Our good close.

personal friend, Marshall Falk. My new BFF, Marshall Falk, is on the show today. Yeah, he's going to drop some fantasy knowledge for us, share some information with us. We have a good show. These are our WaverWire show, so we're going to go through and talk about everybody that you should be looking to sign unless you are in a league like the one that Jason is the commissioner of, in which case he put the waiver wire through this morning for some reason. And so I didn't get anybody.

That's the reason. The reason is so I can sneak in and grab people when everyone else is not. Jason has resorted to guerrilla tactics. This is a good time to talk about our official commissioner training association, an eight-year commitment. Jason's the first enrollee.

at the F.F. Ballers. And I think that Mike taking pictures of us right now is a way of saying we're on Instagram now. Yeah. There's this new program. I don't know if you guys have heard of this. Myspace. Is the Instagram. We're trying to get into it. Get some behind the scenes stuff going. Just get people more, even more involved than they already are. The first picture that went up there or the second picture was of a DeLorean that's sitting on our desk. So I'm quite happy with that.

Yeah, it's right here. There you go. You could see it on YouTube. And the door is open. Oh, it's a full working model. If we could fit in. Full working model. It goes back in time. Yeah, if we could fit in, we could do anything. Do you know who I put in there? The Indian in the cupboard. He goes in there and he goes back in time. Actually, he came forward in time, I guess. Yeah. Anyway. All right, quick question of the day. Heading into week four.

I have completely given up on Andre Johnson. Oh, great pick, dude. Andre Johnson, he looks old, and he has been officially Moncriefed. I believe he had one target last week. Has he been Moncriefed or has he been like, is he just on the way out physically? The father time is undefeated. Right. He needs the DeLorean. All right, so Jason, heading into week four, I've completely given up.

on Devin Funchus. He was a guy that you drafted with hopes that maybe he could be Kelvin Benjamin. He's not. He stinks. So I've given up on him. But he's the bunches. He's bunches of Funches. I was also going to say Colin Kaepernick because we had him high on our preseason rankings and he was so terrible.

He was the start of the week last week. He was the QB4. Well, that's why I didn't say because streaming, he's been great. He still can have good matches. What's his actual ranking right now in quarterback play? He is not up there. That was a bad game, didn't he? That was a bad game. Did he have positive points? I don't believe he did. Yeah, he had six points, dude. Okay, because, well, I couldn't remember if he threw the touchdown. Dominating four interception, 67 yards, zero touchdown. Oh, he ran for a touchdown.

He ran for a touchdown and he ended with a stat line of six. He's actually the number eight. What was hilarious for Colin Kaepernick is there was the rhodo world blurb of like, oh, they've simplified the playbook and Colin Kaepernick succeeding. And then after the game, when the Cardinals dominated, Tyrone Matthew came out and said, yeah, they simplified the playbook so we knew exactly what they were going to do. Yeah, he's like, I think his quote was, it was really easy to, like, it was really easy to intercept him.

All right, I was unsure of which guys to do. I'd love to throw Devante Adams name in there just because I'm bitter as an owner of Devante Adams, but injury isn't going to be the thing that makes me give up on him. And when he comes back, we can see what James Jones can do. So I'm going to go with Doug Martin. Oh! He hasn't been terrible. Not like, you know, earth-shattering terrible. But I just think there are so many limitations for him and that offense and the things that he's doing. And through three weeks, I think Doug Martin is just...

When they were up in their game, he still only had 49% of snap counts, which is really weird and is a great reason to give up on him. All right. One of the things we like to do at least once a week is go ahead and read a review from one of our listeners. We really appreciate it when you subscribe to the show on iTunes. If you enjoy the content, if you want a way to give back, so to speak, it's as simple as leaving us a nice review on iTunes. We appreciate that. So let's go ahead and read one from the Great White North.

Review Osaurus Rags. This one comes in from Gareth Ryan. Five stars is titled Withstanding Victories in Canada. I've been able to withstand. Whoa. Oh, I skipped. Bonjour. Thank you. Bonjour.

I have been able to withstand multiple victories since I started listening to this podcast. What I love about the FF Ballers is their ability to create a great sounding show that isn't like every other sports cast out there. It's unique, it's funny, and informative. I literally wake up and check to see if there's a new episode every morning just so I can get an inside edge and withstand the victories over my league mates. Well, thank you, Gareth Ryan. Not every show can withstand victories.

Only on the FF ballers. So thank you for that. And I believe his actual first line said, I've been able to withstanding multiple victories. So he's just taking the grammatical train all the way down the track. I try to help him. Yeah, that's very nice. Let's get into the news. News and notes from around the league. All right, we got a big show today. So I'm going to hit these quick. You guys jump in if you think we need to talk more about it. The...

All indications from Adam Schefter and from other reports is that Alshan Jeffrey is going to suit up and play this week. However, in the secretive lair of John Fox, the O and three bears are playing the competitive advantage game, and John Fox has declined to update us. Man, so during the Green Bay game, I didn't tweet it out because I was out at a dinner with my family.

But the Packers, while they were in that gray zone of should you punt, should you go for it, fourth and four, fourth and four, they went for it. And I wanted to tweet. Rogers. Somewhere, somewhere John Fox is just sweating profusely and quaking because he cannot believe that they would actually go for it on a fourth down. Do you think he's just muttering? I would have punt it here. Yes. I would have punt it here. Punt it, punt it. I believe they turned the ball over though.

And Kansas City went down and scored. So, you know. All that being said, we don't want to disparage all Bears fans and all hope. No, no, no. They seem to be trading away. Yeah, they seem to be trading away players now, as Jared Allen and Brian Bostic have both been traded. Alson Jeffrey will return. Matt Forte is still a strong play. He actually had an, I mean, he had an okay game in Seattle just because of usage. So he'll be fine. So Alton Jeffrey, you expect him out there? Yeah, I think so.

for at least a couple of plays before he gives me another gooseer on my team. All right, the Bengals, obviously we want to know about Jeremy Hill, so we wanted to pay attention to what's being said. Coach Marvin Lewis said, when we're behind, it's Giovanni Bernard. Yeah, that's not good news. It's a very difficult kind of situation because they're winning.

They've been behind, and so it's been Geo. Geo's producing. They're winning games. I don't see any reason for the coaching staff to change things up. Jeremy Hill's still a young player. Bernard is the veteran compared to Hill. I think you are going to get some lacking production in Jeremy Hill. Yeah, the next three weeks are weeks that they could possibly be behind. You've got the Chiefs, the Seahawks, and the Bills. So pretty good defense is there, generally speaking.

If you... Oh, go ahead. I'll say I'm not... I'm not selling him because I'm not taking garbage for Jeremy Hill, who still can do it. Talent-wise, he's fine. We don't give up on the talent. And that's exactly why I don't do it. I'm not taking waiver-wire trash to sell Jeremy Hill. Just put him on your bench and wait for him to come back out. Would you trade Jeremy Hill for Latavius Murray? Yes. Okay. So that's about... Would you trade Jeremy Hill for Chris Ivory? That, I get that question a lot, and I think...

At this point, I... It's because I ask you like three times a day. Why don't you do that deal? All right. That's where they're coming from. It's you on Twitter making new accounts. Hey, would you, would you do just planting... You're going inception in my head. I'm going long con here. All right. I want to cut that up and use it as the official like draw. Bruh.

All right, Jets coach Todd Bowles expects Chris Ivory to be good to go. We have a friend in New York who we talked to yesterday who said, Ivory ran out of the tunnel. I mean, he looked ready to rumble, but not so good if you went out and started him. I also got an email or a message on Jointhefoot.com from a listener who he decided last minute to switch out and start Ivory. He ended up tying in his matchup.

thanks to Aaron Rogers last night and losing on the bench points of Lamar Miller. Oh, Lamar! Lamar, yeah. The Vikings are hopeful Charles Johnson will be ready for week four. Do we care? No. I hope that any of the receivers are ready there. Bill's coach, Rex Ryan, amidst Sammy Watkins could miss week four. Who do you upgrade? You know who I upgrade Charles Clay.

He's looked really good, and I think it's a nice matchup. In my league that I have ousted Andy's ability to pick up players, I just got him. Of course. If I can't sign waivers, I won't. Speaking Monday, Chip Kelly says, and this is very divulgent of him, no idea if Ryan Matthews will lead the team in carries. I think that's fair.
