Oldman Plays CFL Fantasy S02/E16 Will I Hold on to My Playoff Spot · The CFL Outsiders

  kids, welcome back to another episode
• 0:05
  of Old Man Plays CFL Fantasy.
• 0:09
  Not a great week for me, not terrible. I
• 0:11
  had 106 pointsomething, but I got
• 0:14
  schooled by Trey Callback of the, uh,
• 0:16
  Canadian Football Countdown. He had 145
• 0:18
  orsomething, so
• 0:21
  I'm falling. I'm currently sitting in
• 0:24
  8th, which is the last playoff spot, so
• 0:26
  I'm going to have to have to up my game.
• 0:29
  Next couple of weeks here.
• 0:32
  Anyway, I did learn a lesson from
• 0:34
  Trey when I went once the games are over,
• 0:37
  you can go look at the other people's
• 0:38
  teams. I went and looked at him and
• 0:41
  yeah, he's good. There's a reason
• 0:44
  he's one of the ones up at the very top
• 0:45
  of it. He plays fantasy and he
• 0:48
  plays with players that may not be on
• 0:50
  winning teams and may not
• 0:53
  seem like superstars, but they good get
• 0:56
  good fantasy points. He took Crumb
• 0:59
  last week. Crumb lost the game, but.
• 1:02
  Had I think. Twice,
• 1:05
  at least twice the points that I
• 1:08
  got out of Beau. So so I'm going
• 1:11
  to. Try and take
• 1:14
  that going forward, look at not just
• 1:16
  who are the the best
• 1:19
  stars out there, but who are the best
• 1:21
  ones. Keep in mind that I'm playing
• 1:22
  fantasy here. So
• 1:25
  overall this week we're looking at a
• 1:28
  couple of different things here.
• 1:30
  Let's go through the games, tell you what
• 1:32
  I think and maybe go from there.
• 1:35
  One thing I will say,
• 1:37
  a veritable plethora of cheap running
• 1:39
  backs to pick from this week, so we'll
• 1:41
  have to see you there. I'll go through
• 1:43
  them as we get to the game. So first game
• 1:45
  Montreal at Toronto. Jared Daigi
• 1:47
  's playing for Toronto, so
• 1:51
  I don't know. Do you take a chance on her
• 1:52
  slow? I'll see what he costs. He's been
• 1:54
  scoring lots of touchdowns. That was with
• 1:56
  our buckle in there, Diggy. I don't know.
• 2:00
  I'm going to stay away from Toronto,
• 2:02
  Montreal, Tyson, Phil Butts there. Will
• 2:05
  he have the same kind of game when
• 2:08
  he's playing against someone who's
• 2:09
  actually played corner in
• 2:12
  the CFL before? I don't know.
• 2:15
  Maybe. Could look at what MBT
• 2:18
  is on cost. He might be 1
• 2:20
  worthwhile and there's one of the cheap
• 2:23
  running backs. We'll have to see what the
• 2:24
  cost is on Stevie Scott the third but
• 2:27
  he's in because Tice is now out and
• 2:28
  Arlington is out. So that's
• 2:31
  where I'm considering there.
• 2:34
  The next game, BC at Calgary. Well.
• 2:38
  That BC defence is usually pretty good to
• 2:40
  go up against in fantasy, so I'm thinking
• 2:43
  maybe for the first time I take VA. I
• 2:45
  know he's had rough games the
• 2:48
  last two out, but he'll bounce back. He's
• 2:51
  got something to play for against BC, so
• 2:52
  I think I'm going with him and then
• 2:55
  we'll have to see who I pair him up with.
• 2:58
  That's a questionable sort of thing as
• 3:01
  well.
• 3:03
  We'll have to check out what some of the
• 3:05
  prices there look like. Could team
• 3:08
  em up? Brooks has been coming along quite
• 3:09
  well so he might be a chance. Maybe
• 3:12
  Alfred. But he does
• 3:15
  spread it around, so we'll have to see. I
• 3:16
  don't think I'm going to pay big money
• 3:19
  for a receiver with him. I think I'll go
• 3:21
  for team him up with somebody a little
• 3:23
  bit cheaper and hope I hit something
• 3:25
  right. And on the BC side, well,
• 3:27
  that's another cheap running back for
• 3:29
  you, Horvath. I'm guessing he'll come in
• 3:31
  at 2500. He's starting a game.
• 3:34
  Buck Pierce likes to run the ball. That
• 3:37
  Calgary defence has Arimolade out. How
• 3:39
  much will that hurt their running game? I
• 3:41
  don't know. Hutchinson is back in, so.
• 3:44
  That's going to help them, but I think
• 3:46
  that Horvath there might be a good choice
• 3:49
  other than that.
• 3:52
  Maybe Hatcher, he usually performs well,
• 3:54
  but I don't want to take Nathan up
• 3:55
  against that Calgary defence. They are
• 3:58
  fierce and they've got Adrian Green back,
• 4:01
  so that's. Going to help them out. I
• 4:04
  I think the running backs the only one
• 4:06
  I'm considering there. We move on to
• 4:08
  Winnipeg at Ottawa and surprise,
• 4:11
  surprise, Winnipeg is the one depth chart
• 4:13
  that isn't out when it's supposed to be.
• 4:15
  So I have to go off of their
• 4:18
  injury reports and as we heard
• 4:21
  this week. Coach O'Shea would rather
• 4:23
  not tell anything about any player's
• 4:26
  injuries. He feels it's invading their
• 4:28
  personal, their privacy. I I
• 4:31
  don't get that, so hard to
• 4:34
  say, but they do list Zach as
• 4:37
  questionable.
• 4:38
  say Stearns is questionable, Jamel
• 4:41
  Parker and Michael Griffin, so.
• 4:44
  For them, I take questionable to probably
• 4:46
  mean out and I think I will stay
• 4:49
  away from anyone there other than, well,
• 4:51
  maybe Nick Demski 'cause he's the one
• 4:54
  that does get consistent usage there
• 4:56
  for them. The other side of the ball,
• 4:59
  Ottawa. Well.
• 5:02
  Daniel Adam Boyer is starting. He won't
• 5:05
  be quite as cheap, but against that
• 5:07
  Winnipeg defence he may get some nice yet
• 5:09
  run yardage. I think I'm going to
• 5:11
  probably look at going that way with it.
• 5:15
  Other than that.
• 5:17
  not too many. Hardy is probably your best
• 5:19
  bet. He's averaging A touchdown every two
• 5:22
  games and about.
• 5:25
  5 receptions and 70 yards and you don't
• 5:28
  don't have to throw to him a lot. He
• 5:29
  catches just about everything that goes
• 5:31
  towards him. So yeah, I think I might
• 5:34
  consider going with Hardy again,
• 5:35
  depending on price. And then that takes
• 5:38
  us to the last game of the week where
• 5:40
  we've got Edmonton at Hamilton.
• 5:43
  Edmonton, Metchie and Anderson are both
• 5:45
  out on the defence, which
• 5:48
  Which makes that. Hamilton
• 5:50
  offence very tempting but how much
• 5:53
  are they going to run with?With
• 5:55
  Bell, they haven't been a pass happy team
• 5:58
  lately, so I'm a little bit concerned
• 6:00
  there on the Edmonton side, yeah,
• 6:03
  Rankin's always a good choice, but I
• 6:05
  think I'm going to go for cheaper running
• 6:06
  backs this week and try and spend some on
• 6:09
  the higher priced receivers and whatnot.
• 6:12
  Hilaire is. Barry has been
• 6:15
  very good and he's coming on quite nicely
• 6:18
  with with the team since they've been put
• 6:20
  in.
• 6:22
  Other than that, well, Hamilton, like I
• 6:25
  said, they're contrary to what we said on
• 6:28
  the show on, uh, earlier this week,
• 6:31
  Katsantonis is in and playing. So I, that
• 6:33
  definitely fav pushed me to pick Hamilton
• 6:35
  for, for the pick'em for that. And on
• 6:38
  that side, of course, Lawler's always
• 6:40
  great. So if you can afford him, maybe
• 6:42
  I'll see if I can go to him this week
• 6:43
  and, uh, see what happens. He usually
• 6:45
  picks up some pretty good points.
• 6:48
  looks like he's up against Ross, who's
• 6:50
  not bad, but not necessarily the best.
• 6:52
  He's not going to be taking on Ford. So I
• 6:54
  like that. So that's that's sort of the
• 6:57
  basics of the games this week. Where are
• 6:59
  we going to go? I don't know.
• 7:02
  Let's fire up, pick him on the old
• 7:04
  computer here and see what we put
• 7:06
  together for a team.
• 7:09
  I said I wanted to go with some cheap
• 7:10
  running backs to start with here. So
• 7:13
  here's my running backs and I want to
• 7:14
  check out, first of all, Ottawa for Adama
• 7:16
  Boy. I see what he's at. He's at 5-3
• 7:19
  and he'll probably get the majority of
• 7:21
  the carries and he's a Dang good running
• 7:23
  back. So against that
• 7:26
  Winnipeg defence, I think he's good.
• 7:29
  The other running back for me this week
• 7:32
  is going to be a toss up between Montreal
• 7:34
  with Stevie Scott, so let's see what he
• 7:37
  costs here. 3K
• 7:40
  and. With BC for
• 7:43
  Horvath in there. And Horvath
• 7:45
  is 2.5.
• 7:48
  He's up against a tougher defence but.
• 7:52
  Buck Pierce likes to run the ball a lot
• 7:53
  more than Jason Moss does, so I think I'm
• 7:56
  going with him. That sounds good. Then I
• 7:58
  said I was wanted to go with VA as my
• 8:01
  quarterback. I think that's still true.
• 8:04
  Let's see. Yeah, everybody's expensive.
• 8:06
  Nathan Rourke has projected the most
• 8:09
  points, but I don't know they're taking
• 8:10
  into account that Calgary defence because
• 8:12
  they also showed Dustin Crumb as
• 8:14
  projected second most points at 20 and
• 8:16
  he's not even playing. Drew Brown is back
• 8:19
  in, so I don't think so. And Beau Levi,
• 8:22
  yeah, I don't know, BA is BA. They're all
• 8:24
  15 other than probably if you
• 8:27
  really want to take a, a flyer on McLeod,
• 8:29
  Bethel Thompson, he's probably down here
• 8:31
  somewhere yet. And Drew Brown is 12, so
• 8:34
  that might be something good. I
• 8:37
  don't know, I think I'm going to. And
• 8:39
  then of course somewhere down here is
• 8:40
  also going to be Jared Diggy, who's
• 8:42
  probably like 2.5 or something, but I'm
• 8:45
  not even going to take that chance. So
• 8:47
  where did you go? VA right there. So
• 8:49
  we're locking you in and then we're going
• 8:51
  to team you up with a Calgary wide
• 8:53
  receiver. So who do we like there for
• 8:56
  those? Well, Rhymes is 11
• 8:58
  too. And he's projected it,
• 9:02
  and none of them are projected at high
• 9:03
  points because, again, VA spreads it
• 9:05
  around so much. But I like Brooks. He's
• 9:07
  been looking good. Barnes might be worth
• 9:10
  while, but it's hard to say. He's,
• 9:13
  again, who are they going to get there?
• 9:14
  So I'll take the flyer on Brooks and see
• 9:17
  then the other wide receiver I really
• 9:19
  would have, because I'm spending so
• 9:21
  little on the running backs, I can
• 9:23
  probably get Kenny Lawler. And yes,
• 9:26
  I can at 14-5. Hmm.
• 9:29
  That's interesting.
• 9:32
  Anyway, that's a good that's slightly
• 9:34
  better price. So that means in my flex I
• 9:36
  can take pretty much whoever I want
• 9:39
  here. Let's see who comes U and who's
• 9:41
  looking fairly good. Well, Herslow yes,
• 9:44
  but with daggy in there, will it still
• 9:47
  work?I don't know. And that Montreal
• 9:49
  defence is good. So Justin Rankin I
• 9:52
  like better. There's also Philpott, but.
• 9:56
  You know, he blew up last week because he
• 9:58
  was playing against somebody who's never
• 10:00
  played corner in the CFL. If he this
• 10:01
  week. I as much as Toronto's corners
• 10:04
  aren't the very best, they I think he
• 10:06
  does not so well. So I'm going with
• 10:09
  Justin Rankin there and then defence that
• 10:11
  lets me do who I want here. Saskatchewan
• 10:13
  's not playing. Calgary is 84 and I've got
• 10:16
  8.7 left so I can take the top
• 10:18
  defence. I like that.
• 10:20
  So make Vernon the captain. There we
• 10:23
  go. And so this is my team for this week.
• 10:26
  Calgary Stampeders defence Vernon
• 10:28
  Adams as my quarterback and captain
• 10:31
  from Calgary. Two cheaper running
• 10:34
  backs, Daniel Adam Way from Ottawa,
• 10:37
  who's getting the start and is only
• 10:38
  about 5 1/2
• 10:39
  and Horbath out of BC who's getting his first start
• 10:41
  of catc
• 10:46
  hes and 20 yards, he's gonna, he's gonna pay for himself. And it lets me put other people out here. So I
• 10:48
  like
• 10:58
  that. Eric Brooks, wide receiver from
• 11:01
  Calgary. He's been doing better and
• 11:02
  better every week. And I think he is a
• 11:05
  good person to team up with VA. And then
• 11:07
  Kenny Lawler is usually up right there
• 11:10
  with the points leaders and Justin
• 11:12
  Rankin. Let's hope that against that
• 11:14
  Hamilton defence, he has a big game.
• 11:17
  That's it, locked in.
• 11:20
  All right, let's hope that works.
• 11:23
  Like I said, I'm up against
• 11:25
  fancast who are also above me in the
• 11:27
  standings. So.
• 11:31
  Wish me luck. That's
• 11:34
  about all that I've got. As usual, the
• 11:36
  the normal disclaimer, that's my picks.
• 11:39
  Use them at your own peril because who
• 11:41
  knows what the week will be.
