2019 Footie Winners! + Beat The Ballers & Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast

I like the Saints to win this matchup, so I'm going to take the home running back. And then this is where I'm going to pivot. I feel like Stefan Diggs is kind of the easy, if I would just went completely chalk, to me, those will be my three picks because the Saints secondary can be beat. They can give up points to Fancy wide receivers, but I'm going to pivot. I'm going to go with Adam Phelan. He did absolutely nothing in the box score, but he was on the field. So this is...

just kind of trying to zig when people are going to zag and put Stefan Diggs in. I would think that the chalk is having Dalvin Cook in the line. Yeah, that's the one that I'm shocked. I'm concerned about him, man. How much time he'll get out there? Yeah, exactly. Like, how healthy is he? The Saints run defense is stout. But I think a lot of people out there are going, I am not worried about that he will be in my lineup. I would be. Feel free.

If you can, if you dare. All right, who's ready for the Footy Award winner? Are we ready? I think we're ready for this song. It's the music. You voted, and here they are. I can't handle Jason's dance right now. It's pretty impressive. Oh, there's some shimmy and some shaking. The 2019 Footy Award winners, as selected by the Foot Clan. Oh, what a year it's been. A year of highs and lows.

Let's see who won. We are going to kick this thing off with the performance of the year footy. Which single week performance was the most impressive on the year nominees were Drew Breeze. James, that was from week 14.

Do you want me to go through all of these stat lines? No, just read the names. It was Drew Brees in week 14, James Winston in week 14, Lamar Jackson in week 15, Saquan Barkley. Hello, welcome back, week 16. By the way, I'm just so side note. I'm so happy Sequan showed Sequan stuff at the end of this year. Yeah. Because it really, it didn't make any sense, the injury, things like that. Now he can be drafted appropriately. Kenyon Drake in Week 15, Savior of Many a fantasy team.

And the old Sammy Watkins week one. Come on, Sammy. The winner of the performance of the year, which single week performance was the most impressive? Lamar Jackson in week 15. Lamar, your footie is in the mail. But here's the thing. It was 25% of the vote. The runner up was Drew Breeze in week 14. Really? That's what I voted for. 20% of the vote. So Drew Breeze coming through for fantasy owners in the playoffs, something he's not always done.

And that's a pretty tight victory there. Lamar Jackson Week 15. Congratulations. No one expected Lamar Jackson to win an award. I am sure this will be the only category. Lamar Jackson more than likely. All right. That is it for the performance of the year. The next award, the Fantasy Reaper's Man of the Year, which player's painful injury hurt fantasy owners. The most last year's winner was Leonard Fournett. Don't be carrying on it. This year.

The nominees for this very prestigious award are James Connor, Carry On Johnson, Adam Thielen, and Damian Williams. I feel personally triggered and attacked by this list. But let's find out who the winner is. Your winner for Fantasy Reaper's Man of the Year is James Connor. No.

Oh, James Connor. Yes. Yeah, he'd probably deserve it. It is. He did deserve it because he, he just kept hurting you over and over and over and over and get back and be like, psych. Why did he, what was the? It was James Connor had 50% of the vote the second place. The runner up was Adam Thielen at 24%. So this was James Connor really ran away with this one.

Yeah, he did. I'll be honest, I voted for carry-on. I didn't want him to win, but he hurt me the most as my, my guy. Oh, were you into him? I've been known to, been known to buy a stock or two and carry-on Jones. All right, the next footie. Also, James Connor, your footie is in the mail. Yeah, yeah, don't forget that. All right, the next award for poopiest pants. Oh, the nominees are Odell Beckham.

James Connor again, Levi-on-Bell, David Johnson, and Juju, Smith, Schuster. And the winner is... Hold. Hold. Odell Beckham Jr. You had the biggest, poopiest pants out there even more than the runner-up, David Johnson, who had 28% of the vote. David John... I tried to stick up for him.

You did enough because, I mean, look, almost half the percentage for Beckham. 39% voted for Odell Beckham as the poopiest pants. Scientifically, you can only fit so much poop in a pair of pants. Your pants have to be really big to have the poopiest pants. Beckham's pants are big. They're as big as they get. Beckham was out there in MC Hammer pants. Yeah. Those were loaded. They were loaded. All right. The fourth category, the waiver wire wonder.

Which undrafted waiver wire stud was the best signing of the 2019 season. Last year we had George Kittle. This year's nominees, Devante Parker. Yes. DJ Chark. Yeah, I like, yeah. Ryan Tannehill and Ryan Fitzpatrick, Darren Waller, and the winner of the Waver Wire Wonder Award for 2019. The footie goes to.

Devante Parker. Yes. Well, well deserved. As it should. I mean, you're talking about once you picked him up off of the waiver wire, he was the wide receiver to the rest of the way. 47% of the vote, a runner up for Darren Waller. Yeah, it's well deserved for Darren Walker. 22%. So congratulations, Devonte Parker. Your footie is in the mail. For Devante Parker, I mean, that was, that was quite the voyage of an entire season where you had it just.

like fleeting jokes those first couple weeks where Devante Parker had some production. Then he had the goose egg, of course, against the New England Patriots. And then started kind of just producing every single week until the point of you just couldn't ignore it anymore. And the nice thing is he did enough, often enough to where in those playoff weeks.

Where you're going, can I really trust Devante Parker? Players were doing it. Players were, I mean, we put him in over Amari Cooper in our playoff run. We talked so much about what he did at the end of the year. But think about what you had to decide about Devante Parker when you signed him. Because you're talking about an underwhelming player who's let you down year after year, mixed with the most embarrassing team at the time. So even if you have a good week from a guy like Devante Parker, you kind of.

Roll your eyes into the back of your head and thought, is he a waiver wire rental for a week? What is he for real? Ends up being a year long guy. The fantasy wide receiver of the year factoring draft position. Stop it. Stop it. No, I just, I have no idea who's going to win this. Who's going to win this? Draft position, yada, yada, yada. Look, the nominees are Alan Robinson, Kenny Gallaudet, Devante Parker, who just won him. Yes, he did. Chris Godwin.

Julian Edelman and Michael Thomas, the winner of the fantasy wide receiver of the year. Hey, look, everybody. It's Michael Thomas. Wait, wait, because we don't know these answers. I mean, we knew that answer, but we don't know them. I want to guess the percentage. Oh, that's a fun. For Michael Thomas? I'm going to guess he got 88% of the vote. I'm going to go 82%.

You're both way too high, actually. 62% of the vote went to Michael Thomas, the runner up. Devante Parker? Chris Godwin. Okay. 25%. Very respectable. You're interested. You know what's... Your runner up award is in the mail. You're supposed to factor in draft position, and Devonty Parker's not drafted at all. So I feel like there are... Are you so disappointed? I feel like there are just good arguments for Godwin and Parker, even though Thomas was so great, but Thomas was just too great. Yes. So he was like...

Worthy of being, I would argue, I mean, the number two pick in the entire fantasy draft, right? Behind Christian McCaffrey, the next guy you should have taken was Michael Thomas. The truth is, I think Chris Godwin could have competed and even won that award based on his draft capital had he been in the championship weeks and won people titles instead of being, you know, injured and unavailable. Probably, probably not. All right. And James Winston could have helped win people more titles too.

All right, the fantasy running back of the year. The nominees are, of course, Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Aaron Jones, Austin Echler, Derek Henry, and Ezekiel Elliott. Let's go Eccler. Awesome Eccler. Let's see. And the winner is... Oh, my gosh. It's Christian McCaffrey. I wasn't really surprised, everyone. Acting.

You are the one that chose to seal the envelopes. These envelopes are very difficult to open. I love it. See, I've been pre-opening them. Oh, that's the coward's way. You've got to wait until you're on the clock. When that drum roll is going, that's all the time you get. You start sweating. You start ripping. I got real nervous. He got 70% of the vote. The runner up, which I expected to be Derek Henry, was actually awesome. Eckler at 9%. Congratulations. I accept a runner up. Christian, your footie.

is in the mail. All right, fantasy tight end of the year nominees were Travis Kelsey, Big Mark Andrews, Darren Waller, George Kittle, Austin Hooper, and Zach Ertz, and the winner of the fantasy tight end of the year footy goes to. Who do you think? Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo, uh, the tight. Mark. Oh. Andrews. Yeah, that's, it, it's appropriate.

Mark Andrews with 35% of the vote. Runner up was actually, now I thought it would have been Darren Waller. It was George Kittle with 22%. All reliable George Kittle. Only one bus game all year long. This was a very competitive category at tight end this year. Winning with 35% of the vote is unimpressive. When you're Christian McCaffrey winning with 70%. Yes. Mark Andrews and Darren Waller both.

practically free, laid in drafts. What's this next category, Mike? Yeah, what? It's the quarterback of the year award, everybody. All right. So, well, hold on, because the nominees are Lamar Jackson, okay, Deshawn Watson, James Winston, Dak Prescott, and then we have the Ryan's. The Ryan Twins. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Tanyhill both.

Both of them have notes. No one else has a note with the player, but they won people championship. That's right. That's right. Go so the winner of the fantasy quarterback of the year. It is Lamar Jackson. All right. Now we've got to guess the percentage. I'm guessing. 90. Well, so based on the fact that Christian McCaffer only got 70, I'm going to go 80%.

You're all too low. It's 91% for Lamar Jackson. I don't know if we've ever seen a victory. I feel like I was pretty close. Maybe Pat Mahomes last year. You, Price is right rules. Andy, you dominated? You're great. Yeah, Lamar Jackson. What a surprise. Can I get a real award? Yeah. Over here. Coming up soon.

Breakout player of the year. This is a great category. This is an awesome category. A lot of breakouts last year was Pat Mahomes. You have Lamar Jackson in the category, so maybe he'll take it down. But other great breakout options like Aaron Jones, Derek Henry, Chris Godwin, Kenny Galladay, Devante Parker, DJ Chark, Cortland Sutton, DJ Moore, Mark Andrews, Darren Waller. A lot of breakouts. A lot of breakout opportunities. But there can only be one. Highlander rules.

And the winner is indeed Lamar Jackson. You're struggling to get that thing out. I got it on time. Because you were stalling. 46% of the vote with this many people in it. Now, who do you think is the runner up? Who finished second to Lamar Jackson? That is almost more interesting to me. It's like, take Lamar Jackson out. Who wins the? I'm going to say Darewaller. I'm going to say Aaron Jones.
