Transcript
- 0:04Hey kids, welcome back to another episode
- 0:06of Old Man plays CFL weekly fantasy. Haha
- 0:09yes, casual Friday. As you can see it's
- 0:12hotter than Hades out there right now. My
- 0:14Gorsh I I hope the heat doesn't mess
- 0:17up the games this weekend that uh.
- 0:2055° game in Saskatchewan on Sunday must
- 0:23have been torture for the players and now
- 0:25there's smoke coming into the picture
- 0:27too. Hopefully the Hamilton game goes
- 0:29fingers crossed. But with that said,
- 0:31keeping my uh, to what I talked about
- 0:33last week, I'm going to make this
- 0:35shorter. I'm not going to make this hit
- 0:38through the torture watching me pick my
- 0:40team or anything and I did come up with
- 0:42a win last week. It was little bit of
- 0:45a. Almost
- 0:48a forfeit. I'm not sure what
- 0:51happened with shot from the hips
- 0:53podcast but they didn't even have
- 0:56a full team in there and
- 0:59I had 130 a 119.6 points.
- 1:04A week before that I had 132.1.
- 1:07Highest score in the league, last week
- 1:10119.6. 13th out of a 16
- 1:12team lead but luckily shot from the hip
- 1:15is. Was
- 1:18down in the 50s, so I'm three and three.
- 1:21Moving forward, I'm, I think the sixth in
- 1:23scoring and I'm eighth in the standing,
- 1:25so I'm in the playoff spot, but I can't
- 1:28afford to stumble and it's gonna be a
- 1:30tough one this week. I'm up against KD.
- 1:33Kamisha I think is out of the turf
- 1:35district, if I remember right. And yeah.
- 1:38Top of the league, top of the standings
- 1:40#2 in overall scoring.
- 1:43Gonna have to bring musling shot as it
- 1:46were. This is a David and Goliath type 1
- 1:48so. Looking through it, looking
- 1:51at the quarterbacks, well, there's not a
- 1:54lot to choose from, I mean.
- 1:57Nathan should be a lockdown but he still
- 1:59just hasn't been putting up the big
- 2:02points and. You know, they're they're
- 2:05running the ball in a certain amount,
- 2:07things like that. So I'm not sure there
- 2:09Cody I. He's got over 300
- 2:12yards last week, but I just, I can't seem
- 2:15to go that way. Ottawa and
- 2:17Winnipeg. We got either mayor or MBT on
- 2:20one side and Zach or Drew Brown on the
- 2:23other, and neither of those actually
- 2:25gives me any excitement.
- 2:28The Ottawa defense isn't bad. I don't
- 2:31know that. Any of the
- 2:33Winnipeg quarterbacks will do well
- 2:35against them and Ottawa's quarterbacks.
- 2:38So then we've got Hamilton and Toronto
- 2:40and Hamilton starting Tray. Yay. Will
- 2:42they actually utilize him properly? Will
- 2:44they run an RPO type offense? You could
- 2:47go with him and save a whole bunch
- 2:50of money. Then trying to load up on
- 2:52others but I don't have the faith for it.
- 2:55And Kelly I've used a lot lately, but
- 2:57that Hamilton defense is actually pretty
- 2:58good. Hamilton offense on the field a bit
- 3:00more than Dollar Gala did. Then
- 3:03Toronto may not get so many
- 3:05opportunities, so I'm avoiding that. So
- 3:08that brings us down to basically the
- 3:11other game, VA and Davis Alexander.
- 3:14Both good choices. It's in Calgary and
- 3:16Vas played well in Calgary this year, but
- 3:19I think I'm going with Davis Alexander
- 3:21overall. It's just he's playing amazingly
- 3:24well. As long as that hamstring holds up,
- 3:26I think he's good. Now
- 3:29I'm going to pair pair him
- 3:32up on my wide receivers with
- 3:35Tyson Philpott and hopefully get a
- 3:37good chunk out of that defenses
- 3:40well, I wouldn't have minded taking
- 3:43maybe maybe Winnipeg even the way
- 3:45that that they're playing with stuff
- 3:48or. Possibly Montreal, I
- 3:51don't know, but in the end I had to
- 3:54look at what was cheap and strangely
- 3:56enough the elk defense is the cheapest
- 3:58even though they've been playing fairly
- 4:00well so. That's what I went with. I
- 4:03hope they pick off Nathan once or twice.
- 4:04They got a couple on him last time that
- 4:07they played. The
- 4:09other wide receiver that I'm going with
- 4:12is going to be. Austin Mack
- 4:14out of Edmonton because I needed to get
- 4:17someone in that wasn't terribly
- 4:19expensive. He was not quite 12, but he
- 4:21was still. He's been picking up
- 4:24more. I think he'll get a few more
- 4:26catches, maybe a touchdown or two. I like
- 4:28that. And. Than
- 4:31my running backs. Well, I think you got
- 4:33to take Rankin now. Everybody's taking
- 4:36him, at least in my league. I don't know
- 4:38that he'll do so well against BC, so I'm
- 4:41taking him as a almost a defensive pick
- 4:43so that if he does well, I get something
- 4:46out of it. I'm hoping a lot of people
- 4:48will take him as their captain. A lot did
- 4:51last week, and I don't see him doing as
- 4:53well against BC. Again, he'll get in some
- 4:56yardage and he's worth picking. He'll
- 4:57probably get 20 points, but I'm thinking
- 4:59making a quarterback captain is a smarter
- 5:01move this week. And then the last one. My
- 5:04flex while I was down.
- 5:07Under 4K that I had to spend and looked.
- 5:10Went looking round and Javon Leak
- 5:11Edmonton used him in the game last week.
- 5:14Some I can't remember. I don't think he
- 5:16got a touchdown but he got some really
- 5:19good runs and if they're going to start
- 5:21spelling off Rankin like that and getting
- 5:23him into the game, maybe he'll get me the
- 5:26points that I need. So that's
- 5:28pretty much it. That's how I'm going
- 5:31this week. There's of course, there's
- 5:34always lots others to choose, but my
- 5:37defense will be the Edmonton Elk, the
- 5:40quarterback will be Davis Alexander out
- 5:43Of Montreal and he'll be my captain.
- 5:47Justin Rankin will be the first of my
- 5:49running backs from Edmonton. Xander
- 5:51Horvath. Oh, I don't know if I said that
- 5:54in my recap. Xander Horvath because
- 5:56hopefully he gets a few carries and he
- 5:58scoops up those short yardage touchdowns.
- 6:00Be in the short yardage guy wide
- 6:02receivers Phil bought. How can you not?
- 6:04He's been playing so well, Ty, Team him
- 6:07up with Alexander and maybe get some
- 6:09double s on some touchdown catches and
- 6:11whatnot. And then Austin Mack out of
- 6:13Edmonton because he's been coming along
- 6:15and the last one is. My flex is
- 6:18jamon leak out of Edmonton.
- 6:21Don't know that I feel good. Like I said,
- 6:23I met three and three, so take that for
- 6:26what it's worth. We're going to use enemy
- 6:28picks. Do so at your peril. It is a tough
- 6:30week for me. If I can somehow pull this
- 6:33one off, I think I move myself up a few
- 6:36standings and get a little bit more
- 6:38comfortable in the playoff spots. But
- 6:40going against someone who's five and one
- 6:42at this point, it's going to take
- 6:45everything I've got. So anyway, that's
- 6:47about it. Hope you've enjoyed. Hopefully
