  Hey kids, welcome back to another episode
• 0:05
  of Old Man Plays CFL Weekly Fantasy
• 0:08
  ha.
• 0:11
  Been a hectic week on the old home front
• 0:14
  here. Anyone that follows me on the
• 0:16
  social medias or who saw this week's
• 0:18
  episode of the flagship show the CFL
• 0:20
  Outsiders will know.
• 0:23
  I'm out here in BC and that
• 0:26
  they're bald range slash summerland
• 0:28
  wildfire that's ripping apart the
• 0:30
  southern part of the Okanagan and it's
• 0:33
  been all over the Canadian and
• 0:36
  international news. It's about 10
• 0:38
  kilometers that way so.
• 0:41
  Yeah. Been a little bit,
• 0:44
  I don't know what's stressful, but
• 0:45
  keeping us on our toes. We were put on
• 0:48
  alert last Friday when the fires started.
• 0:50
  We haven't gone to an evacuation order
• 0:52
  yet. And frankly, they're doing a
• 0:54
  fantastic job of cleaning up the fire. It
• 0:56
  still says it's out of control, but
• 0:58
  that's basically to the West where
• 0:59
  there's nothing but forest. And they've
• 1:01
  stopped it to the well, the lake stopped
• 1:03
  it to the east and they firefighters have
• 1:05
  stopped it to the South and N so great
• 1:08
  job on them. We're hoping the orders will
• 1:10
  be rescinded by maybe this weekend. And
• 1:13
  thank you to everyone who's reached out
• 1:15
  with well wishes and support for us. Very
• 1:18
  much appreciate that. But that's not what
• 1:20
  we're here to talk about right now. We're
• 1:22
  here to talk about football, fantasy
• 1:24
  football, to be precise. And what am I
• 1:27
  going to do this week?But
• 1:30
  first I should do a quick
• 1:32
  recap of last week and it
• 1:35
  wasn't great. I had a total
• 1:38
  of 112 points, so.
• 1:41
  Didn't win me anything. I was up against
• 1:44
  all kinds of clay from I believe the
• 1:47
  Argos fan cast. And what did he have
• 1:49
  here? 127.8 so a good thumping. I took
• 1:52
  VA as my quarterback. I thought he'd play
• 1:55
  well against the Argo defence. I was
• 1:57
  wrong. I also took McAllister who got no
• 2:00
  points. So yeah, you know,
• 2:03
  I had a few players that performed for
• 2:05
  me, but Philpott was good. Torbeth
• 2:08
  was OK, you know, but not great. So
• 2:11
  anyway, that now has me at 5:00 and 5:00.
• 2:14
  I don't know where I'm sitting in the
• 2:16
  standings because the league hasn't
• 2:18
  updated them in the last couple of weeks.
• 2:21
  But I'll just keep muddling along and at
• 2:23
  the end of the season I'll find out if
• 2:26
  I'm in the playoffs or not. So this week,
• 2:28
  this week, what are we going to do? Well,
• 2:31
  I'm through the depth charts what I can.
• 2:33
  For some reason, the BC Lions depth
• 2:34
  charts will not show up on my browsers as
• 2:37
  anything I can get. They they just,
• 2:39
  they're grayed out. I don't know what it
• 2:41
  is, whether it's something with all of my
• 2:43
  systems or whatever. But the rest of
• 2:45
  them, not a lot of major surprises out
• 2:47
  there I will mention. Brady Oliveira for
• 2:50
  Winnipeg is on the depth chart. But
• 2:53
  listed as questionable on the injury
• 2:55
  report and I've seen reporting from three
• 2:58
  down nation that he's a game time
• 3:01
  decision.
• 3:04
  Um, as far as other teams go.
• 3:07
  Ottawa's got some of their defensive
• 3:09
  players back and then they've shuffled
• 3:10
  everything there, so who knows what
• 3:12
  you've got. Saskatchewan Conley is listed
• 3:15
  as questionable, so I don't know if
• 3:17
  you want to take him. Micaiah Polked
• 3:20
  for Toronto is listed as out, so
• 3:23
  we might probably want to avoid going
• 3:25
  there at all. Edmonton, their defence has
• 3:28
  taken a couple of hits. Fox on
• 3:31
  the D line and Kenneth Logan junior
• 3:33
  in the backfield are both out, so
• 3:36
  take that for what it's worth. And
• 3:39
  on the 09, Saskatchewan both Fry and
• 3:41
  Johnson are out, so. Starting their
• 3:43
  rookie at Dingus Anderson again, I
• 3:45
  assume, although I haven't seen that yet.
• 3:49
  Anyway, with all that said.
• 3:52
  I took a look at where I was at with
• 3:54
  everything. What was I going to do? Like
• 3:56
  I said, it was a bad week last week, but.
• 4:00
  Cody going up against Toronto might do
• 4:03
  fairly well, but I'm more thinking that
• 4:05
  they're going to run a lot, so I'm
• 4:08
  going to stay away from Cody at
• 4:10
  quarterback and stay away from Mac Kelly
• 4:13
  is always a. Chance, but he's been
• 4:15
  putting the ball up so much in that
• 4:18
  Edmonton defence is pure ballhawks so.
• 4:20
  I'm going to give that a miss.
• 4:23
  BC until Nathan shows that the rust
• 4:26
  is off, I would not take him
• 4:28
  after last week's performance and VA we
• 4:31
  don't know. It could have just been
• 4:34
  a bad game on a short week.
• 4:37
  In Toronto. But he didn't look
• 4:39
  good and historically he sometimes when
• 4:41
  one game goes bad, it turns into a bit of
• 4:44
  a slump. So I'm tempted, but I think I'm
• 4:47
  going to stay away from there. I
• 4:49
  was actually somewhat tempted to take
• 4:52
  Jake Mare. I mean.
• 4:55
  He does reasonably well, he gets some
• 4:58
  reasonable passing yards, he gets a few
• 5:00
  touchdowns and he's cheaper. But I just
• 5:03
  couldn't bring myself to do that yet.
• 5:05
  Maybe next week, maybe next week. Zach, I
• 5:08
  have no faith in. So not going
• 5:11
  that way. So that really leaves us
• 5:14
  down to basically with Alexander out,
• 5:16
  there's only one person that I'm that
• 5:19
  I'm thinking about at all and that's
• 5:22
  Trevor from Saskatchewan. Yes, that
• 5:24
  Hamilton defence is good, but. Their
• 5:26
  offence isn't going to be able to stay on
• 5:29
  the field. Yes, Saskatchewan is down a
• 5:31
  couple of receivers but they look not bad
• 5:34
  last week and I think they'll wear out
• 5:36
  that defence and Trevor will do fairly
• 5:38
  well. So that's my guess anyway. So he's
• 5:41
  my captain. As far as defences
• 5:44
  went. Like I said, the
• 5:46
  ball hoxie in Edmonton against Kelly.
• 5:49
  Could be. A lot
• 5:52
  of points for a defence there, so I'm
• 5:54
  going that way. I do think Rankin
• 5:57
  will run better against that Toronto
• 5:59
  front than he has the last while he's
• 6:01
  been up against some very tough rushing
• 6:04
  fronts. And it's hurt him, but
• 6:06
  I think I think this is a bounce back
• 6:09
  week. And frankly, until Horvath gets
• 6:11
  slowed down somehow, he's a great pick.
• 6:13
  He's still only, well, he's got more
• 6:15
  expensive. He's 8.2 now, but he's getting
• 6:18
  a lot of the carries for BC. He gets a
• 6:20
  short yardage touchdown, so I think
• 6:22
  that's a given. When I took Harris for
• 6:24
  Saskatchewan, I wanted to team him up
• 6:26
  with someone and it looks like Johnson
• 6:29
  will get the bulk of the workload. I'm
• 6:31
  sure Hamilton will do everything they can
• 6:33
  to take him out of the game plan, but I
• 6:36
  still think you'll see a lot from him. So
• 6:38
  I've gone that way. Then I
• 6:41
  was looking for cheap receivers and I
• 6:44
  found Jette. The uh, I believe it's
• 6:47
  Dillon Jetay, The rookie for Saskatchewan
• 6:49
  Roughriders is $0.00. He's a free player
• 6:52
  and he caught 2 passes and a
• 6:55
  touchdown last week. So $0.00,
• 6:58
  hard not to take it. I went that way
• 7:01
  and then. Trayvon
• 7:03
  Jones 4.
• 7:06
  Cowdery.
• 7:09
  He's a little more expensive, but I would
• 7:11
  he was the best I could pick up with the
• 7:14
  money that I had left. It left me with
• 7:16
  2.3 Ki mean and again, looking through
• 7:18
  it, who else could I could I have looked
• 7:21
  at? Who else might you want to consider?
• 7:23
  Well, with the Montreal receivers out of
• 7:25
  there, it really limits stuff. But of
• 7:27
  course we, you know, Max there out of
• 7:29
  Edmonton, he's been doing very well.
• 7:32
  I thought about taking Eberhardt out of.
• 7:35
  Ottawa going with Mayor and Eberhardt
• 7:37
  might not be a bad combination between
• 7:39
  them. They're not. Eberhart's up about
• 7:41
  13, I think. Mare's not that expensive,
• 7:43
  could leave you money to spend in other
• 7:46
  positions, so you might want to think
• 7:48
  about that. But running backs, like
• 7:51
  I said, with Oliveira and Connolly both
• 7:53
  questionable, I don't see Roundtree
• 7:54
  rushing well against Saskatchewan. They
• 7:56
  have barely been using him at all.
• 7:59
  Mills, he might get some a good game, but
• 8:02
  BC's defence is built to stop the run, so
• 8:05
  Calgary's going to win. I think it's
• 8:07
  going to be with BA passing.
• 8:11
  And Bell, well, if I was going to go with
• 8:14
  a Ottawa running back, I don't know why I
• 8:16
  would, but I'd go with Attaboy instead of
• 8:18
  Bell. So anyway, those are my my thoughts
• 8:21
  there. That pretty much
• 8:23
  covers it. I guess that's kind of my
• 8:26
  rambling way to say I'm again, once
• 8:28
  again, I'm just not sure I'm up against,
• 8:31
  uh, Sheldon Jones from the two and out
• 8:33
  podcast and he's been doing very well all
• 8:35
  season. So it's probably going to take a
• 8:38
  good score to beat him. It'll come down
• 8:40
  in in the end, I think to how Trevor
• 8:43
  does against Hamilton. However, just to
• 8:45
  recap for you. Defences
• 8:48
  Edmonton Elks quarterback and captain is
• 8:50
  Trevor Harris of Saskatchewan. My running
• 8:53
  backs are Rankin out of Edmonton
• 8:56
  and Horvath out of BC. My
• 8:59
  wide receivers are Keyshawn Johnson and
• 9:02
  Dylan Jatte out of Saskatchewan and.
• 9:05
  My flex is Trayvon Jones out of Calgary.
• 9:08
  Hopefully he gets a couple of those long
• 9:10
  touchdowns he's good for. Hope this helps
• 9:13
  you. Hope you have a great weekend of.
• 9:16
  Fantasy pick em all that.
• 9:20
  Hope the games are good. It's it
• 9:23
  doesn't look like a prime weekend but
• 9:25
  who knows what the CFL chaos.
• 9:28
