Slim Pickin's Out There/Oldman Plays CFL Weekly Fantasy S03 E16 · The CFL Outsiders

• 0:02
  Hey kids, welcome back to another week
• 0:05
  of Old Man plays CFL weekly fantasy
• 0:08
  ha ha.
• 0:11
  Another positive week. Last week I
• 0:14
  managed to put up I think
• 0:16
  134.3 points, which was enough to
• 0:19
  win the game against MJ and
• 0:22
  the kid from our own CFL
• 0:24
  Outsiders podcast. A 9.1 point victory
• 0:27
  there. Sorry MJ, but hey.
• 0:31
  I'm fighting for the playoffs and things
• 0:33
  are looking better there. No new update
• 0:35
  from the league, but if my math is right
• 0:38
  I'm now should be in 7th place. Eight and
• 0:41
  seven overall. 4th in the actual scoring
• 0:44
  in the league, so I'm happy with that.
• 0:46
  This week I believe I've got Rouge
• 0:49
  adults. And we'll have to see. I can't
• 0:51
  afford to stumble 2 games left. I need to
• 0:54
  keep up coming up big to stay in the
• 0:57
  playoffs here. The only the top 8 get in.
• 1:00
  And frankly, I'm. A
• 1:03
  little worried this week. Slim Pickens my
• 1:06
  friend. Slim Pickens. Only three games.
• 1:10
  Winnipeg, Saskatchewan and BC are
• 1:12
  all out and those are
• 1:15
  can be go to.
• 1:18
  Teams for players, plus Montreal and
• 1:19
  Hamilton. What's going to happen there?
• 1:21
  You know, will Montreal, they've got a
• 1:23
  lot to prove, but will they come out and
• 1:26
  blow them out so bad that you lose your
• 1:29
  most of your starters for the fourth
• 1:31
  quarter at least? Who knows?
• 1:34
  Toronto hosting Edmonton, well they did
• 1:36
  shut down Edmonton's running game last
• 1:38
  time, but Edmonton maybe down to Isaiah
• 1:41
  Smith out of UBC as their running
• 1:44
  back. Both Powell and Rankin are game
• 1:46
  time decisions. The last one, Ottawa,
• 1:49
  Calgary. Calgary doesn't have Diedrich
• 1:51
  Mills in, they don't have a couple
• 1:54
  people in their defensive starting
• 1:56
  backfield. Ottawa has bail out but then.
• 1:59
  Will that matter? This actually looks
• 2:01
  like a game Ottawa might win. The way
• 2:03
  Calgary's been going and all things put
• 2:05
  together, I don't know, gonna be a lot of
• 2:08
  fun this week. And again, who wins or
• 2:10
  loses has less to do with fantasy. It's
• 2:13
  who puts up the points. So let's look at
• 2:16
  these games like we did last week. Let's
• 2:18
  start with the the first one, and we'll
• 2:21
  look at who's worth looking at in every.
• 2:24
  One of the slots, as it were. So we
• 2:27
  start out with. Montreal going into
• 2:30
  Hamilton to night.
• 2:32
  Defences Al Hamilton's had a better
• 2:35
  defence but. They've been struggling
• 2:38
  cause the offence can't stay on the field
• 2:41
  so I don't know that I'd be wanting to
• 2:43
  go that way. Montreal against. Who is
• 2:46
  it going to be? Harrison Frost?Might be a
• 2:49
  good choice. Might want to think about
• 2:51
  going that way. Quarterbacks in this one
• 2:54
  well. I don't think you
• 2:57
  want Harrison Frost, although he is a a
• 3:00
  cheap cheap option in there. He's about I
• 3:03
  think he's under 9K. Thing
• 3:05
  is, this week, I don't know that you're
• 3:08
  going to struggle to save money and and
• 3:10
  to get the players you want. So unless
• 3:12
  you're going for the option, I wouldn't
• 3:14
  do that. Alexander's been struggling
• 3:16
  more. His leg has been hurt. He had.
• 3:19
  He's been flustered. It looks like his
• 3:22
  his cockiness, his his chatting and
• 3:24
  chirping seems to have gone from a
• 3:27
  benefit to a liability lately. But
• 3:30
  he is still pretty darn good and they did
• 3:33
  put up over 300 yards against Hamilton
• 3:35
  back in the first week of the season when
• 3:38
  Hamilton still had Beau. This game where
• 3:40
  hopefully Alexander will have the ball a
• 3:42
  lot more. I think yeah, maybe you
• 3:45
  want to look at that running backs. Well,
• 3:48
  Roundtree's back in for Hamilton.
• 3:49
  Hamilton did run against Montreal at the
• 3:51
  end of last season, but I don't think
• 3:53
  that's going to happen again without the
• 3:55
  threat of any real passing game. And on
• 3:58
  the Montreal side, Stevie Scott the third
• 4:00
  while he's. 8.5 Ki
• 4:02
  Given the running back situation this
• 4:05
  week, he's probably a pretty good choice
• 4:07
  and you got to figure that if Montreal
• 4:10
  does get a lead, which is to be
• 4:13
  expected, they're going to go more run
• 4:16
  heavy as they go along and receivers in
• 4:19
  this game. Well, Philpott and Sneed are
• 4:21
  always good choices, 15K each, but one or
• 4:24
  the other of them I think is worth while.
• 4:27
  I don't know that you need to go down
• 4:30
  the list. Rambo is back with them and
• 4:32
  we'll probably be at a lower price and
• 4:35
  speakers there. Hamilton, you're
• 4:38
  going to be paying a pretty good dollar
• 4:40
  for any of their receivers and what are
• 4:42
  the chances that they get much points
• 4:44
  with Frost in there, so.
• 4:48
  I'd probably stay away from Hamilton
• 4:50
  receivers. I think I'll take one of Need
• 4:53
  or Philpot again and see where we go
• 4:56
  from there. Now, as I said before,
• 4:58
  there's the caveat that. This game
• 5:01
  Montreal could be playing backups for 1/3
• 5:03
  of it, so it'll cost a lot of points.
• 5:06
  I don't know, got to consider that.
• 5:09
  Next game Toronto. Hosting
• 5:11
  Edmonton defence as well. Edmonton
• 5:13
  earlier in the year picked off Kelly
• 5:16
  once and Arbuckle once after Kelly went
• 5:19
  out at half time injured. Toronto didn't
• 5:21
  do much against Edmonton so I think
• 5:24
  Edmonton with that ball hawk defence
• 5:26
  against Kelly's prependency to throw up.
• 5:30
  Tight window balls, as the as the
• 5:33
  analysts like to say, I think maybe
• 5:36
  Edmonton's a pretty good choice there,
• 5:39
  Toronto. Edmonton I think put up
• 5:42
  46 points on them last time and they
• 5:44
  didn't put up a lot of resistance, so I'd
• 5:46
  be staying away from that. Quarterbacks
• 5:48
  Kelly, he had a half game there so
• 5:51
  we didn't throw for so much. Would he
• 5:54
  have gotten 3400 in a full game? I
• 5:57
  don't know. Edmonton's got a tough
• 5:59
  defence to throw against Vegardo. They
• 6:02
  may not have a running game, so he may be
• 6:05
  throwing a lot or running a lot on his
• 6:08
  own. That gives him some, to me, some
• 6:10
  real good consideration maybe he ends up
• 6:12
  running for. A lot of extra
• 6:15
  panic points, but then again, maybe if
• 6:17
  he's running he gets knocked out.
• 6:20
  So I they're both. They're two
• 6:23
  of the three quarterbacks I think are
• 6:25
  worth considering this week, but I have
• 6:27
  questions with both of them. Getting into
• 6:30
  the running backs, well, it'll be Smith
• 6:33
  back with Jones for Toronto. Edmonton has
• 6:35
  not given up a lot of rushing yardage
• 6:37
  over the the season. They've been pretty
• 6:40
  darn good, so I'll stay away from that.
• 6:42
  And on the Edmonton side, Rankin and
• 6:44
  Powell are both listed as game time
• 6:47
  decisions, so you don't know which one
• 6:49
  you're going to get. I guess you could
• 6:51
  pay for Rankin and then be ready to
• 6:54
  switch right at the end if you needed to.
• 6:57
  Or you could go with Isaiah Smith, who's
• 6:59
  also on the roster, and frankly, if he's
• 7:00
  the only one. May get an awful lot of
• 7:03
  work. Again, lower price, but do you need
• 7:06
  to save money this week? I don't know.
• 7:09
  And then receivers, well, you got a
• 7:12
  plethora of them there. You've got Mac
• 7:14
  is. Doing well, but again,
• 7:17
  inconsistent. Don't know. He gets lots
• 7:18
  touchdowns, lots of yardage, some games,
• 7:20
  others he goes quiet. Robustelli has
• 7:22
  looked solid since he's come back, so I
• 7:25
  think maybe you want to consider going
• 7:27
  that way. And Cephas has been picking up
• 7:29
  a lot more of the load. I
• 7:32
  do think I'd stay away from the
• 7:35
  can Julian Grant in this one doesn't
• 7:37
  seem to have been performing so much.
• 7:40
  Then on the Toronto side, while Coxey
• 7:42
  is always a a good choice, common,
• 7:45
  probably another good one in there and.
• 7:48
  Hunger, the third said before he's sneaky
• 7:51
  good. He had a real good game last week,
• 7:54
  though, so maybe he'll be getting more
• 7:56
  attention this week. Hard to say.
• 7:59
  And then that final game.
• 8:02
  Ottawa goes out to Calgary where I think
• 8:04
  Ottawa might actually win this one. Hard
• 8:06
  to say. I don't think it's going to be
• 8:09
  high scoring, but I don't expect a lot of
• 8:11
  turnovers or sacks or anything either. I
• 8:13
  think more just. Offensive ineptitude, to
• 8:16
  tell you the truth. So I'd probably stay
• 8:18
  away from the defences here. MBT is
• 8:21
  starting for Ottawa. He can be a good
• 8:23
  fantasy points guy. He might put up a lot
• 8:26
  of the yardage. You never know he's.
• 8:29
  Cheaper 12 I think 12 1/2 case so you
• 8:32
  could save some cash there on him.
• 8:34
  Depends how much faith you have in.
• 8:37
  This is the date of destiny for them.
• 8:40
  Don't know and then Calgary, VA.
• 8:43
  Yeah, could butt up. 50 points he could
• 8:45
  put up. 10 and a bunch
• 8:48
  interceptions these late season BA so I
• 8:50
  don't have the courage, the cajones to go
• 8:53
  with him. Now running
• 8:56
  backs Mac Mahone will be back off
• 8:58
  the practice squad and running for
• 9:01
  Calgary. How much will he do? Will
• 9:04
  he get good stuff? They also have
• 9:06
  McAllister. They also have Charcot so not
• 9:09
  sure but he is 2.5 and he's
• 9:12
  listed as a starter so might be
• 9:15
  worth giving him some consideration
• 9:17
  there. On the other side, Bell
• 9:20
  is out for Ottawa, so it's maybe Alaboy,
• 9:22
  maybe, and they're dressing Anderson, but
• 9:24
  they don't run a whole lot, so I'm
• 9:27
  thinking not. And then
• 9:30
  when you start looking at the
• 9:32
  receiving cores, well, White's been doing
• 9:35
  better for Ottawa. Eberhardt's had some
• 9:38
  good games. They are both I
• 9:41
  think worth considering with what we've
• 9:42
  seen from them lately, although it's
• 9:44
  going to be hard to tell. Who is MBT
• 9:47
  going to like throwing to? He seemed to
• 9:49
  like White in the second-half of the game
• 9:52
  there. And failure receivers
• 9:54
  well fill bots good.
• 9:58
  Reggie is a game time decision again
• 10:00
  after one game. So I don't know about
• 10:02
  there. Alfred maybe. Maybe
• 10:05
  Brooks. So this is my team.
• 10:08
  Edmonton Elk Defence.
• 10:11
  Davis Alexander from Montreal quarterback
• 10:13
  and captain Deonte Macmahon out of
• 10:16
  Calgary is one of my running backs.
• 10:18
  Stevie Scott, the third from Montreal, as
• 10:21
  the other running back. I'm going to
• 10:24
  go with both Philbots, Tyson and Jaylen.
• 10:27
  And hopefully they pay up some numbers
• 10:29
  for me and then my flex, I'm going to
• 10:32
  go with Robustelli. Out of Edmonton
• 10:35
  seems like the best bet. Leaves me two
• 10:38
  point 4K. Robustelli's a
• 10:40
  tough choice. Under.
• 10:44
  Might well be worth taking in.
• 10:47
  Killing weight out of.
• 10:50
  Ottawa might very well be worth taking,
• 10:52
  but. This is
• 10:55
  it, fingers crossed.
• 10:58
  I got this one against Rouge Dalts and
• 11:01
  then coming up this week and then I have
• 11:03
  a game against where we all play against
• 11:05
  the league average which hurt me earlier
• 11:07
  in the year. But if I don't stumble these
• 11:10
  last two, whoo Hoo. Looking good. Looks
• 11:12
  like we're at least in and see where we
• 11:14
  can go from there. Going
• 11:17
  to be interesting this weekend. Last
• 11:19
  weekend was bizarre with the quadruple
• 11:22
  header and the slaughter in Edmonton
• 11:25
  and the melee in BC.
• 11:29
  Hopefully we get entertaining football,
• 11:31
  but maybe a little better in some of
• 11:34
  the games. Good luck
• 11:37
  with your teams this week. Until next
• 11:39
  week, old man. Signing off.
