  Hey kids, welcome back to another episode

  of Old man plays CFL weekly fantasy
• 0:08
  ha ha well, bad week last week
• 0:11
  it was the league was.
• 0:14
  Not against head-to-head, but up against
• 0:16
  the average, and I took Chad Kelly as my
• 0:19
  quarterback who got injured part way
• 0:21
  through the game and that put me out of
• 0:23
  the running. If he'd stayed in, I'd
• 0:26
  fairly sure I would have gotten into the
• 0:28
  top half and had a win, but I didn't.
• 0:32
  So it's I'm now back to four and four.
• 0:35
  I think I'm 7th in the league in scoring,
• 0:37
  but I'm clinging to that eighth spot for
• 0:40
  the playoffs. We'll see what happens this
• 0:42
  week. See where we go with it here.
• 0:45

• 0:54
  that help us out here. Anyway, they're
• 0:56
  looking at this week. It's an interesting
• 0:59
  one. We've got some. Rematches. We've
• 1:01
  got some. Games
• 1:04
  that may not be great but could be
• 1:07
  close, who knows? So looking at where
• 1:09
  we're going with this stuff this week,
• 1:12
  first of all, the quarterback position,
• 1:14
  well, Cody and Trevor both lit it up
• 1:17
  last week in Saskatchewan. I don't know
• 1:19
  they're going to do that again this week,
• 1:22
  but they might, so you may want to
• 1:25
  go there. Alexander's up against the
• 1:28
  Ottawa defense, which is not the worst in
• 1:30
  the league, but not the greatest either.
• 1:32
  But on the other hand, they've been
• 1:35
  running thieves so much that I don't know
• 1:37
  of Alexander's the guy. I'm, I'm
• 1:39
  certainly ruling out any of the backups
• 1:42
  that are in there, Brown or Salter or
• 1:44
  Trey Ford. So and I'm not going with Jake
• 1:47
  Mayer cause I've got no faith there
• 1:49
  whatsoever. VA is a great
• 1:52
  one to play, but he's up against a very
• 1:55
  tough Hamilton defense and they've been
• 1:56
  keeping them. In games the last little
• 1:59
  while until late meltdowns. I don't want
• 2:02
  to count on a late meltdown to give VA a
• 2:05
  bunch of points again. So I don't know,
• 2:07
  maybe I don't have enough faith in you
• 2:09
  yet. VA, you're you're tearing up the
• 2:11
  league, but I just. I,
• 2:14
  I struggle with it a little bit
• 2:17
  too much. So who's who does a
• 2:19
  person pick out of that whole mess?
• 2:22
  I'm thinking the best one to put
• 2:25
  up some points. Is possibly Trevor
• 2:27
  Harris. I may get burnt with that, but
• 2:30
  that's where I'm going with it. The
• 2:32
  defenses that Edmonton defenses taken the
• 2:35
  ball away something fierce and looking
• 2:37
  great and they're still only at 4.3
• 2:40
  points. So that's A to me that's
• 2:43
  a no brainer. Yes, Saskatchewan doesn't
• 2:45
  give up the ball a lot and
• 2:48
  they may score points on them, but
• 2:50
  they may not either. And so anyway
• 2:53
  I'm that's the way I'm going there
• 2:56
  running backs well. Horvath, I
• 2:58
  don't know if he's starting for BC, but
• 3:01
  he's definitely in the mix with BC now
• 3:04
  that Butler's out and he is also their
• 3:06
  short yardage guy if they keep him there.
• 3:09
  So I think he's A at 6.2, he's a
• 3:12
  probably going to get some some points
• 3:14
  for a team. And the other one, after
• 3:17
  doing so well for a few weeks in a
• 3:20
  row now, I've got to go with Thiessen in
• 3:23
  Montreal. Ottawa
• 3:25
  Ottawa run defenses. Passable but not
• 3:28
  fantastic. Who knows, they may come out
• 3:31
  with a completely different game plan in
• 3:32
  Montreal this week, but. I gotta take
• 3:35
  a chance on that.
• 3:38
  Oh, receivers. Now,
• 3:41
  Schaefer Baker has been consistent most
• 3:42
  of the season, so I'm going back to him.
• 3:47
  Now you could also look at there's lots
• 3:49
  of them out there. There's the two fill
• 3:52
  pots that are there. There's who else
• 3:54
  should do fairly well. Mac certainly tore
• 3:57
  it up for Edmonton last week.
• 4:00
  So you've got that. Any of
• 4:03
  the Calgary receivers is probably a good
• 4:05
  fill in there and then of course you
• 4:08
  go to Montreal where you got Sneed and
• 4:11
  Speaker and all the rest of it so.
• 4:14
  It's tough. And you
• 4:17
  can't spend money on all those big guys
• 4:19
  all the way through. So I'm my next one
• 4:22
  down in the second tier. Well, there was
• 4:25
  Brissette that I was looking at there a
• 4:27
  little bit. There was Eberhardt with
• 4:29
  Ottawa, who may get themselves some.
• 4:32
  Some looks there. He's been fairly good
• 4:34
  this season. You could look at the BC
• 4:37
  receivers. If Salter has himself a hell
• 4:39
  of a game, well, he may take off with
• 4:42
  it. And there's some in that price range
• 4:44
  there too. But I'm going with Luther out
• 4:47
  of. Edmonton, yes, he's
• 4:49
  at 3.5 Ki think he'll get a few
• 4:52
  catches. If he catches 3 balls per 30
• 4:55
  yards, he's paid for himself. That left
• 4:58
  me with a lot of money to spend
• 5:01
  on the flex. Not quite 15, but a
• 5:04
  lot of money. So I looked at some
• 5:07
  of the receivers that were out there. I
• 5:09
  didn't know that I could count on them.
• 5:11
  And then I looked at Mills.
• 5:15
  He's at 13 point 2K.
• 5:18
  Look at how Montreal ran against that
• 5:20
  Hamilton defense. If they've got a weak
• 5:22
  spot at the running game, I have a
• 5:24
  feeling that Calgary is going to run
• 5:26
  quite a bit and they match up well
• 5:28
  against Hamilton. Here we go with it.
• 5:30
  Yeah, there's a lot that I could have
• 5:32
  done differently. I'm up against the Elks
• 5:34
  Herd in the league this week and I, I
• 5:36
  guess I've never really said to you
• 5:38
  folks, don't just play for the most
• 5:40
  points. I also scout what the other team
• 5:42
  has done and look at is there anybody
• 5:44
  that I have to either take or avoid
• 5:47
  because of what they do?Scouting the Elks
• 5:49
  herd shows that they are. Consistently
• 5:51
  good and consistently different each
• 5:53
  week, so they're very good at picking out
• 5:56
  the players that they need. That's why
• 5:58
  I've just ignored their what they've done
• 6:01
  and gone with the best team I can
• 6:03
  put together this week. So
• 6:06
  there it is, little look behind the
• 6:09
  curtain anyway. But so just to recap,
• 6:11
  there's my team. The defense is the
• 6:13
  Edmonton Elk. Quarterback is Trevor
• 6:16
  Harris from Saskatchewan. Running backs
• 6:18
  are thieves out Of Montreal and Horvath
• 6:21
  out of BC. Wide receivers are Schaefer
• 6:24
  Baker to team him up with Harris
• 6:27
  and Luther out of Edmonton. My
• 6:30
  flex is a running back this week.
• 6:33
  Diedrich Mills out of. Calgary.
• 6:36
  So that's it. That's basically me just
• 6:39
  going for the best score I can this week.
• 6:42
  I have no idea. Them's my picks. As I
• 6:45
  say every week use them at your perils.
• 6:48
  Good luck with it all. Good luck with
• 6:50
  your fantasy, good luck with your pickup.
• 6:53
  Let's hope we see some good games that
• 6:55
  Winnipeg BC one. Who knows, it could be
• 6:58
  exciting as hell or it could be a real
• 7:01
  dud. Will this be the
• 7:04
  week that Ottawa manages to get a win?
• 7:06
  Montreal's been looking very, very good,
• 7:08
  but they also haven't been steam rolling
• 7:10
  people so. You know
• 7:13
  Edmonton and Saskatchewan, Does it live
• 7:15
  up to what last week was? If
• 7:18
  so, wow. And what can Ford do
• 7:21
  in Hamilton? Can he work some magic
• 7:23
  there?I can't wait to see it all.
• 7:29
  Hopefully I'm in just as good a mood
• 7:32
  after the weekend as I am now, but
• 7:35
  that's about it. Old man signing off.
