Oldman Plays CFL Fantasy S02 #13 · The CFL Outsiders

• 0:03
  Hey kids, welcome back to a
• 0:06
  late edition of Old Man Play CFL
• 0:09
  Fantasy. I know I said on my
• 0:12
  update on Thursday and try and have this
• 0:13
  out by noon BC time today. Here it
• 0:16
  is 4/30 and I'm just getting started.
• 0:20
  One of the things I've discovered is that
• 0:22
  since I retired, days can disappear from
• 0:25
  me. I wake up and start puttering at
• 0:27
  something and before I know it the day's
• 0:30
  gone. And that kind of happened to me to
• 0:32
  day, so I apologize. Not an
• 0:35
  excuse, but a reason. Anyway,
• 0:38
  you still have almost 24 hours before the
• 0:41
  first game, so hopefully I'm not letting
• 0:43
  you down too much. Let's talk about those
• 0:46
  games.
• 0:47
  Only three this weekend 'cause it's
• 0:49
  Labour Day, baby and whoa, I can't
• 0:51
  wait. Anyway, we start with
• 0:54
  Saskatchewan and Winnipeg. The
• 0:57
  depth charts are both out and to my shock
• 1:00
  and surprise, the Bombers released theirs
• 1:02
  so we can see who's in the game.
• 1:05
  I'm by and large going to stay away from
• 1:07
  this game. The Bombers have both Demsky
• 1:10
  and shown in and they're. Usually
• 1:13
  pretty good choices, but they were both
• 1:15
  questionable on the injury points all
• 1:17
  week so I don't know what kind of.
• 1:21
  Performance they'll have with.
• 1:24
  Dempsky coming off of his injury and
• 1:26
  shown back after a long term once, I'm
• 1:28
  leery there and Brady doesn't normally
• 1:30
  run well against the Riders. Now it's
• 1:32
  Labour Day, so who knows, but I think
• 1:35
  I'm staying away from it. If you wanted
• 1:37
  to go anywhere in that direction, I
• 1:38
  might. You might want to consider about
• 1:41
  Demsky. He's been a touchdown machine and
• 1:43
  he gets to catch a game and everything,
• 1:45
  so there's that. I'm don't think I'm
• 1:47
  going to do it. On the Saskatchewan side,
• 1:49
  Harris will probably put up a lot of
• 1:51
  yards and score, and I figure
• 1:54
  they'll likely win. But the problem
• 1:57
  is. That Winnipeg
• 2:00
  defence can at times stand on their head
• 2:02
  far above where they should be. And I'm
• 2:04
  just, I'm not sure about that. And while
• 2:07
  I do like Johnson, I with Harris, you
• 2:09
  never know. Sometimes he'll go one
• 2:12
  way, sometimes another. You can pick
• 2:14
  Johnson and it's all Myers. That's
• 2:15
  happened to me earlier in the season. And
• 2:17
  the flip side all I picked Myers and it's
• 2:19
  all Johnson. So we'll see. I
• 2:22
  Johnson I may go with depending on price,
• 2:24
  but I think other than that. The
• 2:26
  receivers, I'm staying away from, the
• 2:28
  running back, all that. I think I'd like
• 2:30
  him in there. And he is playing,
• 2:33
  so we're. We're all set there
• 2:36
  and I guess I should say there's no real
• 2:37
  changes in either of these depth charts.
• 2:40
  Echols and Chiron Moore, who was
• 2:43
  with Calgary, I'm sorry, was with
• 2:45
  Edmonton last year, echoes with Calgary.
• 2:48
  They're not showing up on the depth
• 2:49
  chart, so they're not using their new
• 2:51
  receivers yet. And the Riders don't
• 2:54
  have a Joe, a Joe in. They've gone with
• 2:55
  their regular six with Robustelli in
• 2:58
  there alongside Johnson and Myers,
• 3:01
  and then I believe they're playing.
• 3:03
  Kneeled and.
• 3:04
  Del Duncan Busby, that's it, who
• 3:06
  Going on to the next game, Toronto at
• 3:08
  Hamilton. I miss this. Demonte hockey's
• 3:11
  on the 6th game. I never saw it announced
• 3:13
  or anything, so I'm not sure when that
• 3:15
  happened, but he is out. Daniels is out.
• 3:18
  One of their old lineman, Sage
• 3:20
  Docksteader, I believe you pronounce it,
• 3:22
  is out. Although Ryan Hunter is back from
• 3:24
  his scooter accident,
• 3:25
  Dante McMahon is also
• 3:28
  out. But. Was it Spencer Brown I think
• 3:31
  that they brought in last week who ran
• 3:32
  really well. So depending on the price I
• 3:34
  make over him and the other one which is.
• 3:37
  Might impact this is Luca is out on the
• 3:40
  defence, so their back end might be
• 3:42
  even a little more of a sieve than it's
• 3:45
  been now on the other side. Oh and I
• 3:48
  should say by the way, though, if you
• 3:49
  want to do something like that, there is
• 3:51
  Herslow who was a had a breakout game
• 3:54
  last week. You
• 3:55
  could team him up with Arbuckle. I mean,
• 3:58
  hey, what a weird year. Arbuckle is a
• 4:01
  fantasy quarterback last week anybody
• 4:03
  would have been happy to have his points
• 4:04
  and. When they played Hamilton earlier in
• 4:07
  the year, it was a shootout. They never
• 4:09
  quite caught Hamilton, but it was high
• 4:10
  scoring. So there. I think either of
• 4:12
  these quarterbacks is a good choice,
• 4:14
  but. I will probably lean towards
• 4:17
  Beau just because it feels more
• 4:19
  consistent to me. And on their side of
• 4:22
  things, there's not too many that well,
• 4:24
  there's lots that are out, but not too
• 4:25
  many that are starters. They I think they
• 4:28
  have a starting O lineman out and
• 4:30
  other than that, Stavros Kat Santonis is
• 4:33
  questionable. So we'll have to see. But
• 4:35
  otherwise they're they're looking fairly
• 4:38
  healthy. And then the last game,
• 4:40
  Edmonton, Steven Dunbar and Robbie Smith
• 4:42
  went on the 6th game this week. So
• 4:44
  they're out. Nick Anderson is still out,
• 4:46
  which Dunbar's been there
• 4:49
  #1 receiver in yards anyway. And
• 4:52
  Smith and Anderson hurt the defence. Plus
• 4:54
  Jared Brinkman suddenly shows up on to
• 4:56
  day as limited with a shoulder and
• 4:59
  questionable. So that O line may have
• 5:01
  some struggles. And then we get to
• 5:03
  Calgary and again, they've got a
• 5:05
  bunch of people out it looks like.
• 5:08
  Tavon Jones is back from his illness.
• 5:11
  Domini Grimes is listed as
• 5:13
  available, so hopefully his quad is good
• 5:16
  and he'll be ready to go. But they're
• 5:17
  still missing people on the back end. The
• 5:20
  I believe that they still let me find him
• 5:23
  here. Adrian Green is, is marked as out.
• 5:25
  Yeah, Ben La Boss is marked as out. Mind
• 5:28
  you, the I can't remember which of the
• 5:29
  Oneekas it is. There's so many of them.
• 5:31
  But whoever has been told down that
• 5:32
  corner has been playing well in there, so
• 5:34
  I don't know what makes a big difference.
• 5:36
  So Mills in here and maybe
• 5:39
  go with Dominic Rhymes.
• 5:43
  Virginia, I'm not sure because this is
• 5:45
  the thing about picking anybody from
• 5:46
  Calgary right now is I don't know if this
• 5:48
  is true. But I've heard a rumor that that
• 5:51
  illness that kept Jones out last week can
• 5:54
  be a terrible 1, something
• 5:56
  like he lost double digits pounds
• 5:58
  fighting it off and was took him two
• 6:01
  weeks to recover. And the rumor is it's
• 6:03
  going through the camp and VA is fighting
• 6:05
  it right now. So that VA might be a
• 6:08
  questionable pick. I mean, hopefully he
• 6:09
  plays, but will he be effective?
• 6:13
  So I'm sticking away from there.
• 6:15
  Mills feels like he could be great. But
• 6:18
  on the other hand. That
• 6:22
  Edmonton line has been looking better and
• 6:24
  they with the linebackers they have in
• 6:26
  there, they should be able to shut down
• 6:27
  the run. Mind you, the riders should have
• 6:29
  been able to too and they didn't. So.
• 6:32
  I'm, I guess I'm leery. And on the other
• 6:34
  side, Rankin, they're using him out of
• 6:37
  the backfield as a passing, as a receiver
• 6:39
  more than a running back. And I
• 6:42
  think he's expensive, so I'll probably
• 6:44
  avoid that. But that's sort of the
• 6:47
  the basics of what I'm looking at this
• 6:49
  week, where I'm going, what I'm trying to
• 6:52
  do. So we'll fire up
• 6:55
  fantasy on the computer here and put
• 6:57
  together a team. See how it
• 7:00
  works.
• 7:02
  OK, so here we go. And I have to
• 7:05
  admit. This week's kind of in my head
• 7:08
  I'm up against Safamod in the
• 7:11
  Canadian Football Podcast League. He's
• 7:13
  number one by a relatively good
• 7:16
  margin. And I can't let
• 7:19
  that bother me. I can't play a different
• 7:21
  game trying to guess what he's going to
• 7:23
  do. And. Match up against him that way.
• 7:26
  I've got to just, I've got to slow down,
• 7:28
  let my game come to me, pick what I get
• 7:31
  and let the chips fall where they may.
• 7:33
  So Safeman Steve, I believe from Piffle's
• 7:36
  podcast, I wish you good luck this week,
• 7:39
  but not quite as good as me.
• 7:42
  Hopefully we all have fun.
• 7:44
  to start with Boley by Mitchell at
• 7:46
  quarterback and I do think he is still
• 7:48
  the best choice right now and for some
• 7:50
  reason. I don't know why this
• 7:53
  hopefully this isn't trying to chase
• 7:55
  points that won't be there, but it just
• 7:57
  it last time. They played
• 8:00
  Toronto. Kenny Lawler went off. Now
• 8:02
  everyone's saying, OK, well, Toronto
• 8:03
  won't run that same coverage and Lawler
• 8:05
  won't get anybody. He's been getting I
• 8:08
  maybe, but the coverage that other teams
• 8:10
  have been running has also allowed.
• 8:13
  Other players to open up and I just have
• 8:15
  a feeling that this week is maybe
• 8:18
  Lowler's turn.
• 8:19
  Plus he might be a little lower because
• 8:20
  in price because he hasn't done so much
• 8:22
  lately. Ah yes
• 8:23
  , 13.5. OK,
• 8:26
  now
• 8:26
  running backs, I thought I would go with
• 8:28
  Spencer Brown here if he's available at a
• 8:31
  reasonable price. Oh, he's 65
• 8:33
  already?Anyway, and I did want
• 8:36
  to put AJ in there, I said. So
• 8:40
  AJ129O There's three more to go, wide
• 8:43
  receiver, flex and defence and I've got
• 8:45
  2021 K to play with
• 8:48
  OK, so now I said that.
• 8:51
  We would also maybe try to get Keyshawn
• 8:54
  Johnson in here 11/4 and Dante
• 8:56
  Myers is 13, so anybody who's catching
• 8:59
  anything these days is expensive, but
• 9:01
  there we go. Which leaves us now.
• 9:05
  Two more players,
• 9:07
  so let's see what we can afford on
• 9:08
  defence.
• 9:09
  Lions who aren't playing Edmonton Elks at
• 9:11
  5:00.
• 9:12
  Hamilton 6. Montreal's not playing
• 9:15
  Bombers are 9, Argos are 8, Argos are
• 9:18
  8. I don't know
• 9:20
  anyway, yeah let's go with the Elks what
• 9:23
  the heck just to get a defence in there 5
• 9:25
  K if they give me 7 points that's
• 9:28
  basically what the winning stuff. So that
• 9:30
  means what do I have left in the flex
• 9:32
  here? What do I have left to spend 5.7
• 9:35
  K So let's go to that price range of.
• 9:38
  to six K and see what we've got
• 9:40
  here.
• 9:42
  Well, Dell Duncan Busby is in at
• 9:44
  4.2. Adrian
• 9:47
  Smith 5.1.
• 9:50
  McMahon, but he's out. Robinson, Clara,
• 9:53
  CS.
• 9:55
  Leaks in there, Mitchell, who's not going
• 9:58
  to be playing with it. So you know, I
• 10:01
  hate to say it, but it looks like
• 10:02
  probably my best hope in here.
• 10:05
  O'Leary Orange or Duncan Busby.
• 10:08
  if I go with O'Leary Orange, I'm doubling
• 10:10
  up anything that Beau gets there to him.
• 10:12
  So let's go with that. That leaves me one
• 10:14
  point 2K to play with. We'll make Bo
• 10:17
  the captain. So my team this week is the
• 10:20
  Edmonton Elks defence.
• 10:21
  Bold Levi Mitchell at quarterback,
• 10:24
  Spencer Brown from Toronto and AJ Olette
• 10:27
  from Saskatchewan as the running backs.
• 10:29
  Kenny Lawler and Keyshawn Johnson at the
• 10:31
  wide receivers and Brandon O'Leary Orange
• 10:34
  at flex and it leaves me one point
• 10:36
  2K. But I'm not going to stress about
• 10:38
  that.
• 10:38
  With three teams out of this, a lot of
• 10:40
  the lower priced people just are not
• 10:42
  available this week. O
• 10:46
  that's it. Locked in.
• 10:50
  So there's them. That's my picks. As
• 10:52
  usual, use them at your peril. I'm doing
• 10:55
  not bad.
• 10:57
  12 points through
• 11:00
  games, so I'm averaging over 100 points a
• 11:02
  game and I believe I'm sitting at
• 11:05
  fifth in the CFL
• 11:07
  Fantasy League right now. So I've moved
• 11:10
  up a couple of steps and we'll see what
• 11:12
  this week gets me. Anyway
• 11:15
  mate, that's it, the usual beg session at
• 11:17
