Betting Against Fordoligala Oldman Flays CFL Weekly Fantasy S03 E06 · The CFL Outsiders

  Hey kids, welcome back to another week of
• 0:05
  old Man played CFL weekly fantasy. Ha ha.
• 0:08
  You can do something a little different
• 0:11
  this week. As regular listeners slash
• 0:13
  viewers would know, last week was a tough
• 0:16
  one. Technology let me down. A truck
• 0:19
  rumbled by and took out an overhead line
• 0:21
  carrying the fiber optics. With the
• 0:24
  Internet at the old homestead here, I had
• 0:26
  to do everything on mobile. Strangely
• 0:27
  enough, when I went from about a 15
• 0:29
  minute version of this to a 5 minute when
• 0:31
  a lot more people were interested. So I'm
• 0:33
  going to try that now. I'm going to pare
• 0:36
  it down. I'm going to skip the section
• 0:38
  where I walk you through me picking the
• 0:40
  team and just tell you what my thoughts
• 0:42
  were and what team I ended up with.
• 0:46
  Last week I went 132.1 points. That was
• 0:49
  good enough to not just win my game
• 0:52
  against Safanad from People's podcast
• 0:53
  which is nice, but actually put me at
• 0:56
  the top score in the league for this
• 0:59
  week. I don't know that it would have
• 1:02
  been if you hadn't been injured and.
• 1:05
  I've said before I would have traded
• 1:07
  watch and blow the rest of the season for
• 1:10
  a couple of spots in the standings, but
• 1:12
  that's how it worked out. So I'll take
• 1:15
  the win. I think I won by 50 points, 60
• 1:17
  points, something like that. It was it
• 1:20
  was nice and comfortable. This week I get
• 1:22
  shots from the Hip podcast. They haven't
• 1:24
  done as well this year. Which probably
• 1:26
  means that I will get blown out,
• 1:29
  but we're hoping for the best.
• 1:33
  Here's what I'm going to do with my team.
• 1:35
  So first of all, starting with
• 1:37
  quarterbacks. Yeah, there's a few viable
• 1:39
  options. Unfortunately, Beau is injured,
• 1:40
  as we all know, which is bad for the
• 1:43
  Tabbies and the league and US fans and
• 1:45
  just bad all round. Nathan would be an
• 1:48
  option, but he's on by this week. So that
• 1:50
  basically kind of leaves us, Trevor and
• 1:52
  Alexander. From Montreal, Kelly from
• 1:54
  Toronto and after last week, probably VA.
• 1:56
  Looking at those when I went through with
• 1:59
  them, VA's up against a very good
• 2:02
  Montreal defense. They're playing on the
• 2:04
  road and the chances of duplicating a
• 2:06
  game like he had twice in a row
• 2:09
  are rare. There's usually a bit of a
• 2:11
  let down, so I'm going to. Skip VA
• 2:14
  Trevor, well, that might be a good choice
• 2:17
  because Hamilton's starting dollar Gala.
• 2:18
  So I don't see their offense on the field
• 2:21
  a lot, but I have a feeling that if
• 2:24
  the Riders get up a good lead with AJ
• 2:27
  back, they're probably going to run a
• 2:29
  lot. I don't know that Trevor is the best
• 2:32
  choice there. Alexander against Calgary
• 2:35
  might be good. He's got some chances
• 2:37
  there. They did let Toronto score a lot
• 2:39
  of points last week. But overall, as much
• 2:41
  as I hate to do it, I think I'm going
• 2:44
  with Kelly again this week. He has just
• 2:46
  been consistently putting up numbers and
• 2:48
  yeah, he'll throw some interceptions, but
• 2:50
  he was the second highest quarterback
• 2:51
  last week behind VA and he's been right.
• 2:54
  There in the scoring all year so that's
• 2:56
  what I'm doing and took a look at how
• 2:59
  the receivers for the various teams had
• 3:01
  done in the games against these teams
• 3:04
  last year earlier in the year you know
• 3:06
  things like that and found that there's
• 3:08
  been a bit of a consistent pattern for
• 3:11
  three people Johnson last year in a
• 3:13
  couple of games against the. Tiger
• 3:15
  Cats had averaged 8
• 3:18
  catches for about 115
• 3:20
  yards and a touchdown.
• 3:23
  Sneed for Montreal Against
• 3:25
  Calgary we averaged about
• 3:28
  8 catches, probably 105
• 3:30
  yards. No touchdowns
• 3:33
  but still pretty good. And then the
• 3:36
  last one was Coxy in Toronto against
• 3:38
  Winnipeg. He averaged 08 and a half
• 3:41
  catches and 166 yards and two touchdowns.
• 3:44
  So I wanted to get those 3
• 3:46
  receivers and Kelly gets the 1st. And
• 3:49
  then I also I hate not taking
• 3:52
  ranking. And even when he didn't have a
• 3:54
  good running game last week, he put up
• 3:57
  100 yards receiving and I think was like
• 3:59
  21 points or something, which is fairly
• 4:01
  close to what you need for a 15K player.
• 4:04
  But unfortunately those five put me over
• 4:06
  the cap and I still would have needed
• 4:09
  another running back as well and as a
• 4:11
  defense, so I moved. Rank into the
• 4:14
  flex, took Sneed out. Then I put in
• 4:17
  I thought, well, running backs, a couple
• 4:19
  of cheap ones. Saskatchewan will be
• 4:21
  running the ball a lot against Hamilton
• 4:24
  if they get a lead. So I went
• 4:26
  with Connolly and Burton Houdan. And then
• 4:29
  I thought again that Saskatchewan defence
• 4:31
  against Ford Egala. Probably a
• 4:33
  good choice and that all fit. So I
• 4:36
  thought I was laughing and then the
• 4:38
  riders announced that AJ was back. So
• 4:40
  well, Conley's not such a good idea and
• 4:43
  Burton Houdon will probably still get
• 4:45
  some points, but not so much. So I
• 4:47
  juggled a little bit more. I moved Rankin
• 4:49
  to one of the running back spots out of
• 4:52
  the flex where I had. I
• 4:55
  went with Daniel Adam Boy out of
• 4:58
  Ottawa at the other running back.
• 5:01
  And that left me with 3.7 K2 work with.
• 5:04
  So I went looking to see is there anybody
• 5:07
  I can put in the flex that's got a
• 5:10
  reasonable chance of getting at least a
• 5:12
  few points? You know, at at that price,
• 5:15
  if they can get 5-6 points, they're
• 5:17
  they're basically paying their way. And
• 5:19
  it turned out that Cepheus starting. For
• 5:22
  Edmonton was in at that price range,
• 5:24
  so that was pretty much it. I
• 5:27
  went driven by past performances last
• 5:30
  year and just kind of a gut
• 5:32
  feel. So just to
• 5:35
  recap, that's where I met this week.
• 5:38
  There are other options out there who are
• 5:40
  good, and you might want to choose some
• 5:43
  of them, but for me, it's the
• 5:46
  Saskatchewan Rough Riders defense. Kelly
• 5:47
  from Toronto as my quarterback and
• 5:49
  captain, ranking out of Edmonton and out
• 5:52
  of, out of my boy, out of.
• 5:55
  Ottawa for my running backs, Johnson from
• 5:58
  Saskatchewan and Coxie from Toronto as my
• 6:00
  receivers and in my flex, Cephus out
• 6:03
  of Edmonton. So that's it. That's the
• 6:06
  team for this week. Themes. My picks.
• 6:09
  As always, use them at your peril.
• 6:12
  I am back up to two.
• 6:15
  Three and as I said,
• 6:17
  won the league this week
• 6:20
  and I'm sitting #4 in
• 6:23
  league scoring, although I'm still.
• 6:26
  10th in standings because I've only got
• 6:29
  2 and three as my record. A
• 6:32
  good win this week. Hopefully that
• 6:34
  changes and I keep climbing, so we'll
• 6:37
  see. That's about it. Remember to
