  Hey kids, welcome back to another week
• 0:17
  of old Man plays CFL weekly fantasy
• 0:20
  ha ha. Had a good start to
• 0:23
  the day, managed to get up early
• 0:25
  and take my puppy on a nice
• 0:28
  hike before. The heat closed in too
• 0:31
  much, which seemed like a wonderful idea.
• 0:34
  She enjoyed the heck out of it,
• 0:37
  and so did I, until I got
• 0:39
  home and my sinuses blew up. Oh,
• 0:42
  Mustard walked past something the
• 0:44
  allergies didn't like. So I apologize for
• 0:47
  any sniffling. I'll try to keep it.
• 0:49
  To a minimum and edited
• 0:52
  out. I've hit some decongestant
• 0:55
  and well, we're going to
• 0:57
  have to see how well
• 1:00
  that works anyway, looking at
• 1:02
  the the week that was.
• 1:07
  I managed to score myself 146.5
• 1:09
  points. I was up against Cooper
• 1:12
  Trooper from Canadian Football Countdown
• 1:15
  and he was in at 142.9,
• 1:18
  so a whole 3 point lead.
• 1:21
  After the close loss last week,
• 1:23
  I'll take a three-point victory. No
• 1:26
  problem. Overall for the season, I've
• 1:29
  gotten where am I sitting here? I've
• 1:32
  gotten 339.2 points at this point and
• 1:35
  I believe I'm 10th overall in the
• 1:38
  league because of my first two losses.
• 1:41
  But hey, we're coming on back. We're
• 1:44
  coming on back. So looking at this
• 1:47
  week. What are we going to
• 1:49
  do? Well, there's four games, so it
• 1:52
  should be lots of choices, but let's
• 1:54
  start with the quarterbacks.
• 1:57
  We begin with.
• 2:00
  To night Edmonton at Winnipeg. Um,
• 2:03
  if Edmonton wins, it's going to
• 2:06
  be on Rankin.
• 2:09
  And Winnipeg, well, the Edmonton defense
• 2:11
  has been playing well and I still
• 2:14
  don't have faith in Zach putting together
• 2:17
  a lot of good games. So I'm
• 2:20
  not looking at either of them at
• 2:23
  quarterback. Now we go on to tomorrow
• 2:26
  night, Toronto comes in to Saskatchewan
• 2:28
  and again. Kelly's been putting up
• 2:31
  huge numbers, but he hasn't faced a
• 2:34
  defense like the riders have yet. Now
• 2:37
  mind you, the riders have Milligan note
• 2:39
  and they have his back up out.
• 2:42
  So they're starting
• 2:43
  half back. They're starting someone that
• 2:46
  they just signed a week and 1/2.
• 2:49
  Had a lot of time with Toronto but looks
• 2:52
  like mostly special teams. So what will
• 2:54
  that do? I don't know, but I still don't
• 2:57
  trust them giving up enough busts to help
• 3:00
  Kelly out that way. So I don't really
• 3:02
  want to go with Kelly. On the other hand,
• 3:05
  Harris, well, I don't normally go to him
• 3:07
  because he's not that. Flashy, but he's
• 3:10
  been putting up good yardage numbers,
• 3:12
  good touchdown numbers lately that
• 3:14
  Toronto defense got blown up by Montreal
• 3:17
  and even Ottawa got 24 points on
• 3:20
  them. So Harris, I think I might
• 3:22
  lean to in depending on what shape
• 3:25
  or Baker costs maybe go to him
• 3:28
  because. He's a good pair up and he's
• 3:31
  had a couple of good, good weeks. Now who
• 3:33
  knows, it could be that this week it'll
• 3:35
  be with someone else that blows up for
• 3:37
  them. So either Emlis or Johnson,
• 3:39
  depending on price, might also be worth
• 3:41
  while. Then we
• 3:44
  go to the Touchdown Colona game and if
• 3:46
  any of you are coming to Touchdown
• 3:49
  Colona, come see me, look for, look for
• 3:51
  me. I'm in the West End zone. I'll be
• 3:54
  wearing some sort of Rider gear depending
• 3:56
  on the weather and I would love to talk
• 3:59
  to you all in person, talk some CFL
• 4:02
  football. However, the game itself. Well,
• 4:04
  Hatcher is limited, so we don't know if
• 4:07
  he'll be back. McGinnis has been a DNP
• 4:10
  all week, so who are they going to
• 4:13
  throw to? They've brought in a bunch of
• 4:16
  guys. Well, I said said on our flagship
• 4:19
  show, it feels like they're picking up
• 4:22
  receivers who are waiting for work
• 4:24
  outside. Home Depot in the mornings.
• 4:28
  So I can't see going with Nathan
• 4:30
  as good as he is, as much
• 4:33
  as he performed well with the backup
• 4:36
  crew last week, it doesn't make sense.
• 4:39
  And VA he should be should be
• 4:41
  money against that BC defense there.
• 4:44
  They've just been torched for so much
• 4:47
  so. Possibly, but VA also runs
• 4:49
  hot and cold and this is on
• 4:52
  a grass
• 4:53
  And now they're saying probably just
• 4:55
  cloudy, no rain for Saturday, but they're
• 4:58
  still saying possible rain for this
• 5:00
  evening and tomorrow. So I'm a little
• 5:02
  leery there. All
• 5:05
  right. And then that takes us to the
• 5:08
  last game of the week, Ottawa at
• 5:11
  Montreal. Well, mayor is out of the
• 5:13
  question and Davis, he looks like he
• 5:16
  could be good, but we don't know for
• 5:19
  sure what's going on. They don't see a
• 5:22
  lot of injuries as far as their offense.
• 5:26
  But without the depth charts. And so
• 5:29
  I wouldn't, I wouldn't advise against
• 5:31
  going with Alexander and either Phillip
• 5:34
  Potter's need, but I don't know that
• 5:37
  I'm going that
• 5:38
  The other thing to keep in mind is that
• 5:41
  Montreal has both their starting
• 5:42
  quarterbacks did not participate so far,
• 5:44
  Burns and Ento. Will they be back for the
• 5:47
  game? I don't know, but.
• 5:49
  But does that do letting
• 5:52
  Ottawa stay on the field
• 5:54
  and limiting Davis''s time so.
• 5:58
  Kind of tough running backs. Again, tough
• 6:01
  week because I certainly don't want to
• 6:03
  take anyone from Toronto against
• 6:05
  Saskatchewan. Mills, if I can afford
• 6:08
  A, probably good. Although BC is only
• 6:10
  given up 70 yards against the ground in
• 6:12
  on average in their first two games, it's
• 6:15
  the one part of their defense it does
• 6:17
  seem to be working. Anchored.
• 6:21
  If you pick him on a week when
• 6:24
  he hits, boom. But if you pick him
• 6:27
  on another week, he's.
• 6:30
  Well, he he could be shut down. We'll
• 6:33
  have to see with that. So I'm thinking
• 6:36
  about that. I don't have faith in Brady
• 6:38
  because I don't know if Condell's going
• 6:41
  to run them all the way that he should.
• 6:44
  I Saskatchewan might maybe another
• 6:45
  running back there because AJ's out. So
• 6:48
  there could be something cheap, but
• 6:49
  they're saying they're starting. And I
• 6:52
  don't know if I trust that I would would
• 6:55
  have thought they would have started
• 6:57
  Burton Hudan. Tommy the train.
• 7:00
  Thomas the train. But
• 7:02
  maybe one of those, we'll have to see.
• 7:05
  And if I get it wrong, I get it
• 7:08
  wrong. And again, Greg Bell, I don't see.
• 7:11
  He ran very well against Montreal when he
• 7:13
  was at the Hamilton, but that's behind a
• 7:16
  different offensive line, so I don't know
• 7:18
  about there. And Montreal rarely runs the
• 7:21
  ball, so it's tough. Voices all around
• 7:23
  and then defenses, well,
• 7:25
  Well, Montreal, like I said, are
• 7:28
  down there 2 starting cornerbacks there
• 7:30
  are great defense, be good to
• 7:33
  take them, but I don't know
• 7:35
  Saskatchewan, well, they've got a
• 7:38
  unproven. Person at the
• 7:40
  important position of
• 7:42
  side halfback. Brandon's
• 7:44
  got a new safety and you know
• 7:47
  it's. Maybe Edmonton is
• 7:50
  is the best pick there, I don't know.
• 7:53
  BC certainly has gone nowhere. Calgary.
• 7:55
  Calgary hasn't done a lot at stopping
• 7:57
  people so we'll see. It may come down
• 8:00
  to who's the cheapest defense. That's alot
• 8:03
  over stuff. Isn't it basically saying I
• 8:06
  don't know?But.
• 8:09
  We'll fire up the.
• 8:12
  Game on the old computer here
• 8:15
  and see what's what.
• 8:17
  OK, And let's start with quarterback.
• 8:19
  Like I said, I thought that comes
• 8:22
  down to basically Harris or Alexander.
• 8:24
  Alexander's at 15 and Harris is at
• 8:27
  14. Well, you know what, we're going
• 8:29
  to take Harris. So let's see what
• 8:32
  that would take then to team him
• 8:35
  up with. Let's see what these escutcheon
• 8:38
  receivers are going to cost us here.
• 8:40
  Schaefer Baker is at 13 five, Embolus
• 8:43
  is at 14 two, and Johnson's at
• 8:46
  15. So I'm going with Schaefer Baker
• 8:49
  the way he's been going on these
• 8:51
  last few weeks. I think that looks
• 8:54
  good running back, like I said.
• 8:57
  I think either mills or.
• 9:01
  Rankin is probably our top bets and
• 9:04
  Mills is actually cheaper than Rankin and
• 9:06
  I have more faith in his consistency.
• 9:09
  So that's where I'm going to go
• 9:12
  with that one. That looks fairly good.
• 9:15
  We still got 30K for four positions.
• 9:17
  So what does that average out to
• 9:20
  about 8?Gave her position. Let's look at
• 9:23
  the defense. Who have we got that's the
• 9:26
  cheapest here?Let's see
• 9:29
  now, BC Lions, yeah, they should
• 9:32
  be cheap. Ottawa then Edmonton at
• 9:34
  7:00.
• 9:37
  Umm. You
• 9:40
  know what, I'm going to take
• 9:42
  on that Ottawa defense. We might revisit
• 9:45
  that if it turns out that we've got
• 9:48
  some extra money in the bank. So let's
• 9:51
  then talk about running backs here.
• 9:53
  Again, we put Mills in there. Let's see
• 9:56
  if Saskatchewan even has Conley listed.
• 9:58
  They haven't. Always been the best at
• 10:01
  it. They do and at 2.5.
• 10:04
  Ohh, so let's take a chance that they
• 10:07
  actually do what they say they're going
• 10:09
  to do and run him as the first string. So
• 10:12
  we'll put that in there. So that brings
• 10:14
  us back to wide receivers with 20K. So
• 10:17
  we're good for wide receiver and flex. We
• 10:19
  got 10K on each of them, so let's do
• 10:22
  that. Is there anybody else here that we
• 10:24
  can get under that price?Versus catcher,
• 10:26
  one that's got a chance of doing
• 10:29
  something. No, and
• 10:32
  I don't let. So let's open this up
• 10:35
  to the league and look, first of all,
• 10:37
  if we take 15 on that, that would
• 10:40
  only leave us 5. So let's look at
• 10:43
  what the heck, see what we've got here.
• 10:45
  Mattel has been playing well.
• 10:49
  Where is he at? He's at
• 10:52
  13. We could get sneed for
• 10:55
  Hard to say, Hard to say.
• 10:58
  Ohh. Touchdown Tommy
• 11:01
  Neal the in Winnipeg.
• 11:03
  Yeah, let's go with that. Which leaves
• 11:06
  us another 10.2 K So we can
• 11:09
  just barely afford the bottom of this
• 11:12
  list right now here.
• 11:14
  put it U here and go over 10K and
• 11:17
  see who's there at the very bottom of
• 11:20
  that list that we might be able to afford
• 11:23
  her slow as he even playing. I didn't
• 11:25
  think I saw him on the list.
• 11:29
  Hardy.
• 11:33
  And now we're already with git, and we're
• 11:36
  already up above where we wanted to be,
• 11:38
  and he's not even playing
• 11:40
  go to the ones that
• 11:43
  are just under 10K.
• 11:45
  that are 8 to 10K and see what
• 11:47
  we get there while Wheat Paul's not
• 11:50
  playing Trevon Jones. It's at
• 11:53
  Pimpleton. And Hilaire,
• 11:56
  nothing that I'm feeling fantastic about
• 11:58
  there. So let's see what we've if
• 12:01
  we go down here one more cynical.
• 12:04
  Well, he showed up well for BC.
• 12:09
  And he might be the best receiver they
• 12:11
  have out there looking at what we've got
• 12:13
  on that. I'm going to go with him.
• 12:16
  So that leaves me 3.2
• 12:19
  K.
• 12:19
  go up to 6K, are we going
• 12:22
  to get a better running back opportunity
• 12:25
  than cleanly? I don't think so.
• 12:29
  What about defenses?
• 12:31
  Could we do any better on our defenses?
• 12:36
  If we've got 10.2 to spend
• 12:38
  on them.
• 12:40
  Well, that's more than I could
• 12:42
  spend on Montreal, but I could
• 12:45
  get Calgary.
• 12:46
  could get Winnipeg. No, you know what,
• 12:48
  I'm going to go back to the
• 12:50
  OK, so there we have it.
• 12:53
  Edmonton Elks is my defense. My
• 12:56
  quarterback is Trevor Harris and this
• 12:59
  is Schwan, Rough Riders, and he's
• 13:01
  captain as well. Running backs. I've
• 13:04
  got Diedrich Mills of Calgary and Conley
• 13:07
  of Saskatchewan. Not even sure of the
• 13:09
  first name. I think it's I'm not even
• 13:12
  going to try it.
• 13:15
  OK, wide receiver. I've got Keith and
• 13:18
  Schaefer Baker from Saskatchewan, I've
• 13:20
  got Tommy Neal out of Winnipeg and
• 13:23
  I've gone with Senegal from BC because
• 13:26
  of how he performed last week. That's
• 13:29
  it. That's the team. Lock an Indian.
• 13:32
  OK. That. That's it. That's my team.
• 13:35
  Those are my picks. If you wanna copy any
• 13:37
  of them, do so at your peril. I am
• 13:40
  coming back. I'm one and two now. Happy
• 13:43
  about the win last week, but.
• 13:46
  Ah, confident of another one this week.
• 13:49
  Like I said, up against Travis Kerr of
• 13:52
  the two and out network. Travis has been
• 13:54
  doing this a long time, but I got
• 13:57
  some confidence. Please remember if
• 13:59
  you're enjoying this, if it's helping you
• 14:01
  at all, subscribe drop a like that
• 14:04
  certainly helps us drop a comment if
• 14:06
  there's anything that. You like or
• 14:09
  don't like and on the pod catcher catcher
• 14:12
  so. He must be
• 14:14
  doing something right. Please help us out
• 14:17
  with that, Help us grow the CFL
• 14:20
  Outsiders empire.
• 14:23
  But that's about it. We'll be back with
• 14:26
  the flagship show next Wednesday and I
• 14:28
  think the games start on Thursday again
• 14:30
  next week. So I'll be back next Thursday
• 14:33
  with an update on what happened with my
• 14:36
  fantasy and where I'm going that week.
• 14:39
  But for now, old man,
• 14:42
  signing off.
