  Hey kids, welcome back to a brand
• 0:05
  new season of CFL Weekly Fantasy this
• 0:08
  year and this is Old Man back
• 0:11
  for Old Man Plays CFL Weekly Fantasy.
• 0:14
  We we won't be jumping into the
• 0:17
  new all season format with the draft
• 0:20
  in your team and the waivers. And
• 0:23
  all that. I may
• 0:25
  get to that in the future, but no
• 0:28
  leagues for me to get in easy. You
• 0:31
  can only have six teams per league. So
• 0:34
  I'll be back in some of the other
• 0:36
  leagues, including the CFL Podcast
• 0:38
  Network fantasy league where I lost in
• 0:40
  the final last year and hope that I
• 0:43
  will make that next step this year.
• 0:46
  Congratulations to Adam Stewart of the
• 0:48
  Canadian Football Countdown, by the way,
• 0:50
  for thumping me in the final last year.
• 0:54
  So it's a brand new season. We don't
• 0:57
  really know what's going on here at all.
• 0:59
  There's teams that don't even have the
• 1:01
  depth charts out yet, surprisingly
• 1:03
  enough. Hey, the Bombers have their zone.
• 1:05
  I didn't expect it to come out until
• 1:07
  after game time the way they were last
• 1:10
  year, but it's out, so we know what's
• 1:12
  going on there. So that gives us.
• 1:14
  Winnipeg, Calgary, Montreal and Hamilton
• 1:16
  to work with. We don't know who's on
• 1:19
  the depth charts for Ottawa or Edmonton.
• 1:21
  There's been turnover there. I think I'll
• 1:24
  stay away from those teams unless there's
• 1:26
  somebody who really, really sort of jumps
• 1:29
  out at me. Hey, anyone notice I'm wearing
• 1:32
  my brand new full color Saskatchewan
• 1:34
  Indigenous logo tee?That the Goddess got
• 1:36
  me to celebrate the whole new season and
• 1:39
  everything. Anyway, back to the strategy
• 1:41
  aspect. This time of year you just don't
• 1:44
  know what's going on, so I'm going to
• 1:46
  try and stick with tried and true
• 1:49
  performers. However, there is the problem
• 1:51
  that they're starting them all out at
• 1:53
  higher prices this year, so. I'm
• 1:56
  not going to have the luxury we
• 1:59
  had last year stacking teams early in
• 2:02
  the season. I think personally I'm going
• 2:04
  to look at, I'm going to look
• 2:07
  at Beau in Hamilton as my quarterback
• 2:10
  because he's steady and Alexander may go
• 2:13
  off and may get you lots yards.
• 2:16
  You never know, BA may go off, gets you
• 2:19
  lots yards. Zach may even have a great
• 2:21
  game. But Beau is steady and even if they
• 2:24
  lose, which I expect they will, he gets
• 2:27
  some points in garbage time. He gets some
• 2:29
  some yardage in garbage time. So I'll go
• 2:32
  with him and I'll be probably looking to
• 2:35
  team him up with Kenny Lawler.
• 2:37
  You know, from there, I don't know what
• 2:40
  else I'll look at. Maybe White in
• 2:42
  Winnipeg, because they're saying they're
• 2:43
  building his, their whole team around
• 2:45
  him, their whole offense. So if he's
• 2:47
  anywhere affordable or even if he's not,
• 2:49
  I might go that way. But there are some
• 2:52
  other ones that are sort of maybe worth
• 2:55
  taking a look at here.
• 2:57
  Really getting Junior his first game in
• 3:00
  Hamilton. Will he click with Beau? Just
• 3:02
  don't know. But that if he's a lower
• 3:05
  price one with the way that he
• 3:08
  underperformed last year, that might be a
• 3:11
  worthwhile idea. Hollands is starting for
• 3:13
  the Alouettes again. Depending on price,
• 3:15
  that might be good. Or Stearns, he's.
• 3:19
  He's the kind of player kind of like
• 3:21
  Sneed, he might do well there in that
• 3:24
  system. I'm just not sure. Calgary, I
• 3:26
  don't see some much. There is Brissette
• 3:28
  who's come over from Toronto might be
• 3:31
  worth looking at. And in Winnipeg again,
• 3:33
  I don't know. They they look, they look
• 3:35
  thin in the receiving core that to me
• 3:38
  this year. Other than White, although
• 3:40
  Neil's over there now. So again,
• 3:43
  depending on pricing running back.
• 3:46
  I don't know if I want to take Brady.
• 3:49
  I think I might go with Mills instead
• 3:51
  because Brady should be solid. But in a
• 3:54
  Tommy Condell offense, how many touches
• 3:56
  is he going to get? Until I start to
• 3:58
  see that? I don't know. And the other one
• 4:01
  that I may pick, quite frankly is these
• 4:04
  out Of Montreal because Hamilton's got 2
• 4:06
  linebackers. There are two backup
• 4:08
  linebackers in Montreal. Doesn't run the
• 4:10
  ball a lot, but they pass out of
• 4:13
  the backfield. We'll see. So that's
• 4:15
  something to look at. You have to check
• 4:18
  the prices and defenses. I don't know,
• 4:20
  I'm probably, if I can get Montreal.
• 4:23
  They're probably the best defense that's
• 4:25
  out there other than that. Might
• 4:28
  take a flyer on Edmonton if I have
• 4:30
  to, to save some costs. I am not
• 4:33
  convinced that Jake Mayer is a starting
• 4:35
  quarterback, so we'll see. But we'll fire
• 4:38
  up the old computer here, make our picks,
• 4:41
  and then see where we go.
• 4:44
  OK, so let's see where we go here. Let's
• 4:47
  go with who I said I wanted. I said I
• 4:50
  wanted to go with Bo Levi Mitchell. First
• 4:52
  of all, he's at 14. It looks like I'll do
• 4:55
  that, I said at running back I wanted.
• 4:59
  Thieves out Of Montreal. So let's go to
• 5:02
  there and go here. Where are you? 6.5?
• 5:05
  That's passable Wide receiver I wanted
• 5:08
  from Hamilton. I wanted to go with Kenny
• 5:11
  Lawler to match up with Beau if he's
• 5:13
  not the right choice while at sea. Kandre
• 5:16
  Smith is 12, but we'll go with Lawler.
• 5:19
  Anyway, wide receiver out of Winnipeg, I
• 5:22
  did want to go with Tim White, who's
• 5:25
  at 14 four, so he's expensive. So that's
• 5:27
  up there a bit. Let's stick in the
• 5:30
  defense, go with the cheapest 1 we can
• 5:33
  find maybe or close to it to see
• 5:35
  where they're at. Oh, none of them are
• 5:38
  cheap, ha ha. 7 for Ottawa, 8
• 5:41
  for Edmonton. I'll take Edmonton against
• 5:43
  mayor on that. So that then leaves me.
• 5:45
  What do I have here 12/5 to work with?
• 5:48
  So running backs, yeah, let's split that
• 5:51
  in half. Let's go over here. Teams are
• 5:53
  all let's put this in about the six range
• 5:56
  here, 6 to 8 and see who we get.
• 5:59
  Ohh, not many. Stevie Scotts out
• 6:01
  We've already got teeth. Roundtree the
• 6:04
  third. Well, there's a possibility. So
• 6:07
  that leaves us exactly sick. Go
• 6:10
  to our flex spot.
• 6:14
  There we are at six and what do we
• 6:17
  have is the cheapest person showing here
• 6:19
  is 6.5. So nobody at six. Exactly. So OK,
• 6:22
  so then we'll have to drop that down to
• 6:25
  four to six and see who we can get
• 6:28
  in there at the top. Yes. So killing
• 6:31
  whites. Claire Zeus is out.
• 6:35
  Sketch ones not playing, so that's good.
• 6:37
  So we could put Leak in there, but who
• 6:40
  knows how much he'll get. Keelan White
• 6:42
  out of Ottawa is about the only one that
• 6:45
  we can do. So that leaves us .6 K.
• 6:47
  I'll live with that. Let's make Bow the
• 6:50
  captain. So that gives us Edmonton Elks
• 6:52
  Defense Bowl. Levi Mitchell from Hamilton
• 6:54
  as the quarterback. Running backs will be
• 6:57
  these from Montreal and Roundtree, the
• 6:59
  third from Hamilton, both in one game.
• 7:02
  We'll see what happens. Receivers will be
• 7:05
  Kenny Lawler out of Hamilton and Tim
• 7:08
  White from Winnipeg, and the flex will
• 7:10
  be Keelan White out of Ottawa. So
• 7:13
  that's it, locking it in. We're
• 7:16
  there the first week of the season,
• 7:19
  always scary but hoping for the best.
• 7:23
  So that's it. Dims my picks. As I
• 7:26
  always say, use them at your peril. Who
• 7:29
  knows, especially early in the season
• 7:31
  like this, but we'll give it our best
• 7:33
  shot and see what we get here. Hey,
• 7:36
  even if we don't do well this week,
• 7:39
  it's a brand new season of friggin CFL
• 7:41
  football, man. I've been waiting. And
• 7:44
  wait and so the bullets are flying for
• 7:46
  real live ammo. Hope that anything you
• 7:49
  did and take them this week works well.
• 7:53
  Hope your fantasy team works really well.
• 7:56
  Don't forget to check us out on the
• 7:59
  flagship show, the CFL Outsiders. We're.
• 8:02
  We're really, really happy with the way
• 8:04
  that's going. GT and MJ over there, We've

  give us a try. See what you think.

  Until next week, old man signing off.
