- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, it's playoff time baby. Week ago. Well, we'll review
- 0:06Speaker 1: and see if we made the playoffs or not and
- 0:09Speaker 1: answer all your questions in this week's episode of Fantasy
- 0:12Speaker 1: Freaking Football. It's time to.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Review your fantasy team here now, commissioners, it's time guy
- 0:24Speaker 2: for fantasy freaking football.
- 0:27Speaker 1: All right, let's get into it. Man. It is playoff week,
- 0:31Speaker 1: here we go. Most leagues the playoffs begin this week,
- 0:35Speaker 1: and no different for us. In my three leagues, I've
- 0:39Speaker 1: had an incredibly successful fantasy year. I don't know what happened,
- 0:43Speaker 1: but i'd been doing really, really well. So in my
- 0:46Speaker 1: OG league, I am in second place. I've been winning
- 0:50Speaker 1: like last three weeks or so in a row. I
- 0:52Speaker 1: wasn't doing so well in that league, and then all
- 0:54Speaker 1: of a sudden things started happening and started winning again,
- 0:57Speaker 1: so doing great in that league. In our friends league
- 1:01Speaker 1: that we're in together, I went from worse to first.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I have the number one seed. I have a bye
- 1:08Speaker 1: this week, so I'm in the playoffs. But I have
- 1:11Speaker 1: a bye this week, so I get to sit back
- 1:13Speaker 1: and relax this week. Let my guys heel up.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Wha hope that no one gets hurt?
- 1:19Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, and then in our work league again, I
- 1:23Speaker 1: was not doing so well. I was in last place
- 1:25Speaker 1: for a little bit, but then I turned it around.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Things started happening and I ended up making the playoffs.
- 1:31Speaker 1: I finished fifth, and so I got in there. And
- 1:34Speaker 1: so now you never know what's gonna happen. The only
- 1:36Speaker 1: thing I don't like is I'm going to beat I
- 1:38Speaker 1: won last week, and the guy that I beat last week,
- 1:41Speaker 1: that's the guy I'm playing again this week, and I
- 1:43Speaker 1: so I have to beat him two weeks in a row.
- 1:45Speaker 1: That's always weird and tricky. And so I beat him
- 1:47Speaker 1: pretty handily last week, by about twenty So I'm kind
- 1:50Speaker 1: of hoping I have the same thing. But you never know.
- 1:52Speaker 1: You never know. So that's where I'm at. Where about you?
- 1:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I went from first to last in my Buddies league, Yeah,
- 1:59Speaker 2: which is crazy. I mean, I you won the champions
- 2:02Speaker 2: I won the championship last year. And I think what
- 2:04Speaker 2: happened was eight of my first nine picks got hurt.
- 2:08Speaker 2: From like week like three until week like ten, I
- 2:12Speaker 2: had literally eight out of my first nine picks hurt,
- 2:14Speaker 2: so I just couldn't recover. Yeah, I literally was starting
- 2:17Speaker 2: like fourth string wide receivers. And then what happened was
- 2:20Speaker 2: finally I got some guys back, and I won like
- 2:22Speaker 2: three in a row, and I was starting to feel
- 2:24Speaker 2: my I was starting to.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Get wins for quite a while.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I was nine, oh man so eight, and then I
- 2:30Speaker 2: won three in a row, and then I lost, and
- 2:32Speaker 2: that was it, Like it just wet to totally flipped
- 2:36Speaker 2: from worse to first.
- 2:37Speaker 1: You went from first to worst. Yeah. Wild.
- 2:39Speaker 2: And then in the other league game, which was a
- 2:41Speaker 2: fun league with them, they upped the annie. I came
- 2:43Speaker 2: in last week. If I would have won, I would
- 2:45Speaker 2: have got a buy, but but all my guys were
- 2:47Speaker 2: on buys, so I just had a terrible showing. And
- 2:51Speaker 2: I also have Drake London and Alman Ross Saint Brown
- 2:54Speaker 2: and even though I'm rock played, he still wasn't one
- 2:56Speaker 2: hundred percent, but he still got me these my points.
- 2:57Speaker 2: But now I have and fourth I play this weekend
- 3:02Speaker 2: and I'm playing like the team I'm playing against is better,
- 3:05Speaker 2: but they have some tough matchups, like like Jonathan Taylor
- 3:08Speaker 2: against the Seahawks Seahawks and James Cook against the Patriots,
- 3:13Speaker 2: so that kind of helps. But I am worried because
- 3:15Speaker 2: Drake London is not going to play. He didn't practice. Again,
- 3:17Speaker 2: I don't even if he's gonna pay agains the season,
- 3:19Speaker 2: which stinks, So I don't know. And then in our
- 3:21Speaker 2: work league, I end up coming in second chat year.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Yeah, so b dub Our famous b dub who filled
- 3:27Speaker 1: in for you, will your opportunity. He came in first,
- 3:30Speaker 1: you came in second. I came in fifth, which is great.
- 3:32Speaker 1: So we're all in it. Well, you know, but in
- 3:35Speaker 1: that league, you know, there's no body never know, and
- 3:38Speaker 1: so you never make the playoffs. So it's it's tricky.
- 3:41Speaker 2: You never know.
- 3:42Speaker 1: That's a hard it's a hard run. Yeah, So we
- 3:44Speaker 1: will see what happens in our playoff runs here hopefully
- 3:48Speaker 1: next week when we're on we're talking about our season continuing.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Then when your fantasy season ends, ye, it's because it's
- 3:54Speaker 2: so abrupt and it's just over, and then you gotta
- 3:56Speaker 2: wait nine freaking months for another fantasy season.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Where you were caring about the Carolina Arizona game and
- 4:02Speaker 1: now you're like what and.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Now you don't care. Yeah, you're caring about the Browns game.
- 4:05Speaker 2: You've got Harold fanon junior and now you're just like, yeah,
- 4:07Speaker 2: I don't want to watch that I don't care about. Yeah,
- 4:09Speaker 2: it's just all right.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Let's get to your playoff questions that you have for
- 4:14Speaker 1: us this week. You can hit us up at the
- 4:15Speaker 1: show thor at the show Eddie on X, or you
- 4:18Speaker 1: can email us your questions every week. This question says,
- 4:21Speaker 1: I'm heading into the playoffs and DK metcalf is questionable,
- 4:25Speaker 1: should I play Stefan Diggs instead?
- 4:29Speaker 2: That's Stefan Diggs has kind of fallen off a.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Little boom er bust man. He's had like maybe three
- 4:34Speaker 1: games that are decent and then the rest are like,
- 4:37Speaker 1: it's weird.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Drake may is at MVP candidate, but sometimes he just
- 4:41Speaker 2: won't throw Stefan Diggs the ball. But then he throws
- 4:44Speaker 2: the ball in big situations like if it's third and
- 4:46Speaker 2: long and then and they need it and then you
- 4:48Speaker 2: first down, Stefan Diggs is catching it right, you know,
- 4:50Speaker 2: that's where he needs to be. But I don't know.
- 4:51Speaker 2: I would. I would wait for the last second and
- 4:53Speaker 2: see if I can start. DK Metcalf, I totally agree.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Yeah, DK is sort of you know, he's been a
- 4:58Speaker 1: little bit of boom or bust as well. But it
- 5:00Speaker 1: seems like Aaron Rodgers. They're trying to get him the ball,
- 5:03Speaker 1: you know, but it just hasn't happened for that still
- 5:05Speaker 1: their offense as much. But yeah, I like DK Metcalf
- 5:08Speaker 1: definitely if he plays running back. Question Jordan Mason versus
- 5:12Speaker 1: Dallas or Zach Scharbonay versus Indianapolis.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Ah, Man, that's tough too. I'd probably go with Charbone
- 5:20Speaker 2: just because he's been the touchdown vulture and Indy. Indy
- 5:24Speaker 2: maybe packing it in. I mean, they've fallen off. They
- 5:27Speaker 2: have one hundred year old quarterback.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Rivers is gonna save the day.
- 5:30Speaker 2: I mean, I wonder what the players on the team
- 5:32Speaker 2: think of this. They can't be buying into this, Like
- 5:34Speaker 2: they gotta think this.
- 5:35Speaker 1: There are guys on the team that could be his son. Yeah,
- 5:38Speaker 1: it's crazy. Well, and you look at it.
- 5:39Speaker 2: They're kind of screwed because you can't just trade for
- 5:42Speaker 2: a guy. You can't get really anybody on It's impossible
- 5:45Speaker 2: to get a quarterback right now, so they have no choice.
- 5:47Speaker 2: But guys can't be buying into this.
- 5:50Speaker 1: I like Jordan Mason a lot. It seems like, okay,
- 5:52Speaker 1: they're they're you know, giving him the football a little
- 5:55Speaker 1: bit more obviously, Aaron Jones kind of lost a step.
- 5:58Speaker 1: He scored a touchdown last week. I like sharbon Ay too.
- 6:02Speaker 1: He's a guy that's gonna get you, you know, probably
- 6:05Speaker 1: ten points every week. You know he's not he may
- 6:08Speaker 1: sneak a touchdown or two in there, which is great
- 6:11Speaker 1: if it was me. Uh, it's a coin flip. Honestly,
- 6:14Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna go sharbon A, but it's it's not.
- 6:18Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're probably gonna be okay either way. Yeah,
- 6:21Speaker 1: so they're probably gonna get around the same points.
- 6:23Speaker 2: As Yeah, and that games sneaky because if the Vikings win,
- 6:26Speaker 2: they're kind of still in it. If they beat the Cowboys,
- 6:28Speaker 2: which is crazy, So that'd be interesting.
- 6:30Speaker 1: One. The Cowboys have a lot to play for. Yeah,
- 6:34Speaker 1: PPR question Juwan Jennings versus Tennessee or Deebo Samuel versus
- 6:39Speaker 1: the Giants.
- 6:41Speaker 2: They're both gonna have good games. The Giants defense is
- 6:44Speaker 2: I think that's gonna be a shootout because both because
- 6:46Speaker 2: Giants defense is atrocious. Uh, but I would it just
- 6:50Speaker 2: depends on who plays. Does Jaydon Daniels play, he may,
- 6:54Speaker 2: then I'd start debo. If he Dane Dan doesn't play,
- 6:55Speaker 2: I'd go with Juwan Jennings.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, uh, both of the guys are kind of,
- 7:01Speaker 1: you know, in the same category as well.
- 7:03Speaker 2: It was like second thirtie.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Right where Deebo, you know, sometimes he has big games
- 7:07Speaker 1: and then sometimes it kind of disappears. Last week he
- 7:09Speaker 1: had a disappear game. Juwan has found the end zone,
- 7:13Speaker 1: you know, that brought parties back. He's really looking for
- 7:15Speaker 1: him in the red zone. So I like Juwan a lot,
- 7:18Speaker 1: But I mean it's hard for me to sit Deebo
- 7:20Speaker 1: at this point in the season against the Giants. Yeah,
- 7:24Speaker 1: I mean, I'd probably give Diebo the slight edge, but
- 7:27Speaker 1: that that one's a tough one. All right, Let's get
- 7:29Speaker 1: to our starts and sits for the week. At quarterback,
- 7:32Speaker 1: who's your start?
- 7:33Speaker 2: I just said, I think this game is going to
- 7:34Speaker 2: be a shootout. I'm hoping the Giants lose and keep
- 7:37Speaker 2: the number one overall pick. But I think I'm starting
- 7:39Speaker 2: Jackson Dart first. The Commanders. He's two, he's two in
- 7:43Speaker 2: one at home. I think I think he'll run in
- 7:45Speaker 2: some touchdowns. And I think the Commanders are They're both
- 7:48Speaker 2: just two terrible teams.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Hey, big boy, I like Jackson Dart. There too. I
- 7:53Speaker 1: like Jackson Dart this week too. Listen, Washington's defense is
- 7:57Speaker 1: sick there a cit.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Honestly, this game could be like forty to four going
- 8:00Speaker 2: in the four.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually think your Giants have a really good
- 8:03Speaker 1: chance of winning this game, which is gonna screw you.
- 8:05Speaker 1: But I like Jackson dark Big this week. I think
- 8:07Speaker 1: he's gonna throw for you know, probably three hundred yards
- 8:10Speaker 1: this week. Who's your shit?
- 8:11Speaker 2: My sit this week is a guy who has been
- 8:14Speaker 2: on a extreme tear in fantasy, Jacoby Pressett. But that's
- 8:19Speaker 2: extreme tear comes to an end. They just lost their
- 8:21Speaker 2: left tackle and they're playing the Texans, the best defense
- 8:23Speaker 2: in the league. So I'm not starting Jacoby Brissett this week.
- 8:25Speaker 1: We showed it probably ran this spice other because my
- 8:29Speaker 1: set this week is again Jacoby Brissett. Listen, you're taking
- 8:33Speaker 1: on the Texans. Texans defense is the best defense in
- 8:36Speaker 1: the league, and so I just don't like Arizona and
- 8:39Speaker 1: Arizona's They're.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Not going to have a letdown game like it's it's
- 8:44Speaker 2: their Texans are legit.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jacoby is the guy. The rest of the
- 8:48Speaker 1: way they've they said that kind of Muri has done
- 8:50Speaker 1: for the rest of the season.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Him and Michael Wilson have been on fire. Do you
- 8:53Speaker 2: remember David Boston. That's why I think Michael Wilson reminds
- 8:57Speaker 2: me of He's having like these like crazy games and
- 8:59Speaker 2: everybody he's great, but he's just having this weird run
- 9:01Speaker 2: right now.
- 9:02Speaker 1: For sure. You know running back, who's your start?
- 9:04Speaker 2: My start as a guy? Listen, this guy gets carries.
- 9:07Speaker 2: I mean he's getting sixteen eighteen, nineteen twenty four carries
- 9:11Speaker 2: last week, and that's so rare in fantasy. So I'm
- 9:14Speaker 2: starting Woody Marks against the Cardinals. They're playing the Cardinals.
- 9:17Speaker 2: He's gonna get a ton of carries. You gotta put
- 9:19Speaker 2: him in your life if you have him.
- 9:20Speaker 1: My start this week is a guy that's come off
- 9:23Speaker 1: the injured list and he doesn't even look like he
- 9:25Speaker 1: was ever hurt. I like Bucky Irving this week against
- 9:28Speaker 1: the foulcon it was last week.
- 9:29Speaker 2: It was weird. He like was split in touches.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I mean, you got to use clearly better. He's the
- 9:35Speaker 1: best guy there. So hopefully they figured that out and
- 9:37Speaker 1: give Bucky Irving the ball. Who's your sit?
- 9:39Speaker 2: My sit this guy. I know you're thinking, oh, he
- 9:42Speaker 2: went for two touchdowns one hundred and fifty yards against
- 9:45Speaker 2: the Browns. He's not doing that against the Niners. I'm
- 9:47Speaker 2: sitting Tony Poller's.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Oh you don't like Tony Poller's well is he? Is
- 9:51Speaker 1: he on one of your teams or he wasn't he was? Yeah, yeah,
- 9:53Speaker 1: I get that for sure. Tony Pollard again a guy
- 9:57Speaker 1: that you kind of think was gonna have a good
- 9:59Speaker 1: week and you know, a good uh you know, season,
- 10:03Speaker 1: and then he ends up not having a great season.
- 10:06Speaker 1: And so I don't really understand what what's going on
- 10:08Speaker 1: with Tony Pollard. It doesn't make a lot of sense
- 10:10Speaker 1: for me my sid this week again, you know, you
- 10:14Speaker 1: kind of look at what's going on in in the
- 10:16Speaker 1: league and stuff like that. I just there's there's a
- 10:19Speaker 1: lot of matchups that don't make a lot of sense
- 10:21Speaker 1: to me and that I don't love this week. And so, uh,
- 10:26Speaker 1: Chicago's running game is great. I really, you know, I
- 10:29Speaker 1: think that they are fantastic. It's a weird matchup against
- 10:32Speaker 1: Cleveland this week. And so I'm looking at at Swift
- 10:35Speaker 1: and monogat Eye and those kind of guys and I
- 10:38Speaker 1: gotta imagine, you know, they're probably gonna give Swift the
- 10:40Speaker 1: ball most of the time. But you know, the only
- 10:43Speaker 1: way you're gonna get points out of monoga Ie is
- 10:44Speaker 1: if he scores touchdowns.
- 10:46Speaker 2: I'm in this situation so in the league that I'm
- 10:49Speaker 2: playing with my other buddies league that where I'm losing
- 10:52Speaker 2: Drake London, I have Swift and Managhi whatever. So I'm
- 10:59Speaker 2: gonna a Swift yeah and just roll.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Yeah. I like Swift way more than I like monogan Ie. I,
- 11:04Speaker 1: So my sit is monogan I just because I don't
- 11:07Speaker 1: know that he's going to score a touchdown. That's the
- 11:08Speaker 1: only way he's gonna get points. So that would be
- 11:11Speaker 1: my sit this week. Wide Receiver, who's your start?
- 11:13Speaker 2: My start? Again? I think this game is going to
- 11:15Speaker 2: be a shootout between two bad teams. The Giants have
- 11:17Speaker 2: no answer for Tyre McLaurin, and I think he's gonna
- 11:19Speaker 2: go off, especially if Jayde and Daniel's place.
- 11:21Speaker 1: That would be good. I have him in one of
- 11:23Speaker 1: my leaguers. Yea, I would like that my start this
- 11:25Speaker 1: week is a guy that he just I don't understand
- 11:29Speaker 1: why they don't throw him the ball in the red
- 11:32Speaker 1: zone at all. It makes no sense. But I just
- 11:36Speaker 1: got to imagine that this game is going to be
- 11:39Speaker 1: high scoring as well, because Cincinnati's defense is so bad
- 11:42Speaker 1: and Baltimore has to win this game. So I like
- 11:45Speaker 1: Zay Flowers this week. He may not score a touchdown,
- 11:47Speaker 1: but he's gonna get a lot of catches.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Bro, do you think if they don't make the playoffs?
- 11:51Speaker 2: Is there a chance John Harball gets there? He's been
- 11:55Speaker 2: there for eighteen years. This is this was supposed to
- 11:58Speaker 2: be their year.
- 11:59Speaker 1: I know, but Lamar has been banged up and things
- 12:01Speaker 1: like that. It's interesting.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't Yeah, it is. Who's your
- 12:05Speaker 2: sid the Colts receiving Corps. Oh, they're playing I have
- 12:10Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior as the guy. But you're playing one
- 12:13Speaker 2: of the best defenses and secondaries in the league anyway.
- 12:15Speaker 2: At Seattle, your quarterback is either a forty four year
- 12:19Speaker 2: old Philip Rivers or Riley Leonards or hurt. So it's like,
- 12:22Speaker 2: I'm not It sucks because if you've been riding with
- 12:25Speaker 2: j Warren, Warren Michael Pittmans out here, even even if
- 12:30Speaker 2: you've been riding with Jonathan Taylor. I mean, if I'm
- 12:31Speaker 2: the Seahawks, I'm just gonna stack the box for sure,
- 12:34Speaker 2: So like, you're just screwed right now. It stinks.
- 12:37Speaker 1: My shit this week is a guy who's had a
- 12:39Speaker 1: couple of good weeks. He you know, he showed up
- 12:41Speaker 1: for the Packers, but I don't like him against the Broncos.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Christian Watson is my shit this week. You know you
- 12:47Speaker 1: kind of look at their receiving corps. You know you'll
- 12:50Speaker 1: maybe see Romeo Dobbs get in there, read his back,
- 12:54Speaker 1: you know, Watson. Eventually there's too many mouths de feed.
- 12:57Speaker 1: So I don't like Christian Watson this week. Against a
- 12:59Speaker 1: tough Denver defense, it's tight end. Who's your start?
- 13:01Speaker 2: I was so so wrong last week when I said
- 13:03Speaker 2: to start Darren Waller. Oh man, this week, I'm not
- 13:05Speaker 2: gonna be wrong. Yeah, this guy and Shador Sanders have
- 13:08Speaker 2: a little connection going on. I'm starting Harrold Fannon Junior
- 13:12Speaker 2: at Chicago. He's he's getting tons of targets, he's getting touchdowns.
- 13:16Speaker 2: He had one hundred yards last week. Harrold Fenn Junior.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Honestly, surprisingly, he was close to being one of my starts.
- 13:21Speaker 1: I was looking at him and I was like, oh maybe,
- 13:23Speaker 1: but I like this start a little bit more. I
- 13:25Speaker 1: like Jake Ferguson this week Dallas again, a game you
- 13:29Speaker 1: have to win. You've got to beat the Vikings. Jake
- 13:31Speaker 1: Ferguson's been finding the end zone. Dak Prescott is playing,
- 13:35Speaker 1: you know, at MVP level. So I like Jake Ferguson
- 13:37Speaker 1: a lot. This week. Who's your sit.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Pat Fryarmouth against the Dolphins. I just never know who
- 13:42Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is gonna throw the ball to. It's gonna
- 13:44Speaker 2: be John Hi Smith, it's gonna be Pat Fryarmoth. I
- 13:45Speaker 2: don't trust that offense, and it sucks because I have
- 13:47Speaker 2: Jalen Warren and I just don't trust anyone on that offense.
- 13:51Speaker 2: But I have to start him.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's been Okay.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been. He gets you like ten points a game.
- 13:55Speaker 1: But game while steals all his touchdowns.
- 13:56Speaker 2: It's crazy. It's like they get in the fifteen yard
- 13:58Speaker 2: line and Mike Tomlin says, al right, we know thor
- 14:00Speaker 2: has I don't think. I don't think sit fire, move.
- 14:06Speaker 1: My sit this week again. A guy I gotta imagine
- 14:09Speaker 1: at this point in the season, he's you know, lost
- 14:13Speaker 1: a step. He's We've seen this over the over the years.
- 14:16Speaker 1: He had a couple of good games, but I am
- 14:18Speaker 1: not starting Travis Kelcey this week. Travis Kelsey against the.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Chargers, seeing the end of him on Sunday.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Honestly, when that that last play and he just he
- 14:27Speaker 1: just doesn't look good anymore.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Honestly, My some my wife Haley and I were watching
- 14:32Speaker 2: the game and she goes, she stops and she's, you know,
- 14:34Speaker 2: she watches fro time of time, and she looks at
