Why the Hell Do We Do This, Is it Ego? / Go MJ -Oldman Plays CFL Weekly Fantasy S03 E20 · The CFL Outsiders

• 0:02
  Hey kids, welcome back to another week of
• 0:05
  old man. Please see if a weekly fantasy
• 0:07
  ha ha. And of course I'm done in the
• 0:10
  league now. I got knocked out in the
• 0:12
  first round by MJ, my team mate from CFL
• 0:15
  Outsiders, our flagship show. If you
• 0:17
  haven't checked it out yet, do so and
• 0:20
  subscribe and drop a like right now
• 0:22
  because that'll help us out a lot too. Go
• 0:25
  ahead just while you're watching this.
• 0:27
  Anyway, MJ beat me and then she beat CFC.
• 0:30
  Adam, who won last year, beat me in the
• 0:33
  final. So she's in the final, this time
• 0:36
  against the Elks Herd. Good luck MJ,
• 0:38
  carry the banner for the show. I love it.
• 0:40
  Myself, I did not great last week. I was
• 0:43
  about mid in the scoring, I think
• 0:45
  somewhere in the low 90s. So good thing I
• 0:48
  wasn't in the playoffs. But as I said
• 0:50
  before, we're going to play this out till
• 0:52
  the end of this season and then figure
• 0:55
  out where we go from there. Because there
• 0:57
  are some people that are still. In
• 1:00
  meaningful fantasy matchups. And maybe
• 1:03
  what I have to say will
• 1:06
  help, maybe it won't, who knows,
• 1:09
  who knows.
• 1:12
  Anyway, we're off of Thanksgiving now, so
• 1:14
  we're back to our regular Friday night
• 1:17
  Saturday games, 2 each.
• 1:19
  And looking at them, well, I think
• 1:22
  there's only a few quarterbacks worth
• 1:25
  taking. I think the running backs are
• 1:27
  self-explanatory, so it's probably going
• 1:29
  to be defences and receivers that make
• 1:32
  the difference for teams this year. My
• 1:35
  opinion. But let's look at the games
• 1:38
  we start with Toronto going to Ottawa.
• 1:40
  Well, Ottawa is.
• 1:43
  Starting barns. A raw, well
• 1:46
  semi raw rookie. He's played in I believe
• 1:48
  in the UFL some, but his first full
• 1:51
  start. So I would not be going
• 1:54
  there. Kelly, he's playing. Will he
• 1:56
  play the whole game? Don't know.
• 2:00
  But. I think I may go
• 2:02
  that way. It seems I'm still trying to
• 2:05
  decide Kelly or Nathan.
• 2:08
  Anyway, we'll see.
• 2:12
  Running backs in that game, Well, you got
• 2:15
  Attaboy for Ottawa, who's a good choice
• 2:17
  and not terribly expensive. And.
• 2:20
  Toronto is starting Porter, a new rookie,
• 2:23
  but neither of the teams runs the ball
• 2:26
  much. So I don't think I'd be going
• 2:29
  there. And then for Ottawa, again, who
• 2:31
  are they going to throw to? Because it's
• 2:34
  a new quarterback, who will he like? So
• 2:37
  White's been good lately. Hardy is out
• 2:39
  this week, I believe, but. I'm staying
• 2:42
  away from on the Toronto side, probably
• 2:45
  any of them, Coaxy Pulk are good common.
• 2:47
  I'll probably get some points out there
• 2:50
  as well, might tell. But I think probably
• 2:52
  the best bet there is hunger. He's not
• 2:55
  quite so expensive. He may get a
• 2:57
  touchdown or two and he gets lots of
• 3:00
  targets and catches are what help you on
• 3:03
  wide receivers there. So that's that
• 3:05
  game. Next one we've got Winnipeg going
• 3:07
  to Edmonton and who the hell knows? Will
• 3:10
  Winnipeg that played Montreal two weeks
• 3:12
  ago show up or will the Winnipeg that
• 3:15
  laid a beat down on Calgary show up?
• 3:18
  I don't know. So I'm
• 3:20
  leery on these games.
• 3:23
  Defences Edmonton is still a good
• 3:25
  defence, top ranked in projected points
• 3:27
  and yet they're lower in the cost, so
• 3:30
  that's worth doing The Winnipeg defence.
• 3:32
  I don't think I'd go for it. I
• 3:35
  don't know that they'll really slow down
• 3:37
  Vegardo and the running game all that
• 3:39
  much. They might. They might be
• 3:41
  fantastic, but I'm leery. Quarterbacks.
• 3:44
  Bjardo hasn't been as good lately, so I'm
• 3:46
  leery and Zach, well, Zach had a
• 3:48
  fantastic game last week, which means
• 3:50
  he'll probably go out early this week, so
• 3:53
  I'm avoiding him. Running
• 3:56
  backs Oliveira. Is expensive and
• 3:58
  he hasn't been getting a lot of passes
• 4:01
  under the backfield so I'm avoiding him.
• 4:04
  Rankin is expensive and he.
• 4:07
  Could go off and gift you.
• 4:09
  3040 points or he could get you 5
• 4:12
  so I'm not willing to invest in that,
• 4:15
  but Powell as the backup bet. Edmonton
• 4:17
  has been getting about 1/3 of the carries
• 4:20
  and has been doing fairly well and he's
• 4:23
  in there at a fairly cheap price. I
• 4:25
  believe it's about 5K so.
• 4:28
  That's worth thinking about. And then
• 4:31
  wide receivers, while Wilson's pit up
• 4:33
  some for Winnipeg lately. And singers
• 4:35
  certainly looked very good. And on the
• 4:38
  Edmonton side, they've got Cephas there
• 4:40
  who's looked OK, and Mack, it's their big
• 4:42
  guy, but he's.
• 4:45
  Inconsistent, so I'm not too sure
• 4:48
  on that.
• 4:51
  Then we go to the. Montreal
• 4:54
  coming to Saskatchewan on Saturday? Well,
• 4:56
  it's going to be. Mr.
• 4:59
  Crumb. Rather than Alexander and
• 5:01
  Philpott and Sneed are both out for
• 5:04
  Montreal too. So I don't know about a
• 5:06
  lot coming from that team, but I'm
• 5:09
  certainly not taking Crumb. Saskatchewan
• 5:10
  quarterback Harris, I still think maybe
• 5:13
  there's something wrong in his throwing
• 5:15
  arm or shoulder. They have not thrown a
• 5:17
  ball more than 2530 yards in the last
• 5:20
  three or four weeks that I can remember.
• 5:23
  So I just don't think he's got the
• 5:25
  arm to go deep and that's going to
• 5:28
  make it difficult even against. Montreal
• 5:30
  team that is playing. Very
• 5:33
  short handed, so I'm staying away from
• 5:35
  quarterbacks in both of these games. The
• 5:38
  defences well.
• 5:41
  Crumb and a bunch of backups going
• 5:43
  against Saskatchewan is tempting. I like
• 5:45
  that Montreal, I don't think they're
• 5:47
  going to get a lot of sacks and and
• 5:50
  or turnovers. They good chance they'll
• 5:52
  still win this game with crime in there,
• 5:54
  but I don't see the defence doing that
• 5:57
  great. And then running backs, Olets
• 5:59
  in there, he may get some, but he's
• 6:02
  again, not getting touchdowns, not
• 6:03
  getting passed out of the backfield. And
• 6:06
  he's 15K or up there, maybe not 15, but
• 6:08
  he was up there anyway on the other side.
• 6:11
  Lawrence is starting. And is the
• 6:14
  only running back listed for Montreal. So
• 6:17
  if Montreal runs the ball, he's the one
• 6:19
  they're going to use. So that's and he's
• 6:22
  2.5. So I think that's very good. And
• 6:24
  then wide receivers, well, they've got to
• 6:26
  throw to somebody in Montreal, but I'm
• 6:29
  not sure who to, to be quite honest with
• 6:32
  you. Hollins maybe, But I'm just, I don't
• 6:34
  think going on any of those wide
• 6:36
  receivers with Crommett quarterback is
• 6:38
  the right play. Saskatchewan gets Johnson
• 6:40
  back after he missed last week. But
• 6:43
  coming back have hobbled me not so good.
• 6:45
  They've got endless first game back and
• 6:48
  he may do well, but you're usually a
• 6:51
  bit rusty. And they've got Schaeffer
• 6:53
  Baker who's been back for three or four
• 6:55
  games now and is doing well. So I
• 6:58
  think I'm probably leaning that way. Last
• 7:00
  game of the weekend, BC going to Calgary.
• 7:03
  Well, this one again. Either defence
• 7:05
  might be OK. Both of those offences have
• 7:08
  been somewhat susceptible to drops.
• 7:11
  Well, not so much turnovers for Calgary,
• 7:13
  but but maybe and I do believe that there
• 7:15
  will be some sacks had from both sides of
• 7:18
  the ball. So either defence is probably
• 7:20
  pretty good there. And either Nathan or
• 7:22
  VA is probably pretty good too. I mean,
• 7:25
  it's just a question of. Who
• 7:27
  plays the better?In this game
• 7:30
  will VA be hot being back home?
• 7:33
  That defensive backfield has still got a
• 7:36
  couple of questions in it, and TJ Lee is
• 7:38
  a game time decision, but they've been
• 7:41
  playing a lot better, so I'm a little
• 7:43
  iffy on that one too. And Nathan?
• 7:46
  Nathan's played pretty good, but.
• 7:49
  The last couple of games have been a
• 7:51
  little below par. There is the question
• 7:53
  about his non throwing hand.
• 7:56
  They do they win this when they lock up
• 7:58
  second place, I believe. So they've got a
• 8:01
  lot on the on the go, but Calgary needs
• 8:03
  this to stay in the playoff hunt. I mean,
• 8:06
  they could lose this and if Saskatchewan
• 8:08
  loses the last two, they're still in. But
• 8:10
  this is their chance to have some way to
• 8:13
  con control their destiny or to make an
• 8:15
  impact on it. So it could be interesting.
• 8:17
  And then running backs, probably Horvath
• 8:19
  or Butler, but they're splitting time. So
• 8:21
  who's going to be the better one?
• 8:23
  Horvath, I would think because he gets.
• 8:25
  Yardage touchdown. But really, I don't
• 8:28
  know and. McMahon. How much will
• 8:31
  he get? They've been using McAllister and
• 8:33
  Chakat Moore for Calgary to sub him in
• 8:35
  there, and BC's front seven against the
• 8:37
  run is pretty deadly, so I think I'm
• 8:40
  staying away from running backs in this
• 8:42
  game. And again, your wide
• 8:45
  receivers here BC well. They've
• 8:48
  got a lot that look good. Kotoy is
• 8:50
  certainly worth doing. I mean basically
• 8:53
  all of them. Berryhill has has got some
• 8:56
  stuff. Hatcher and Mckinnis are. Again,
• 8:58
  underperforming this year to my opinion,
• 9:01
  so probably not there. Jackson got me
• 9:03
  a lot of points at a earlier
• 9:06
  in the year as a slightly cheaper
• 9:09
  receiver, so there's that. And then
• 9:11
  on the Calgary side, Philpott is the only
• 9:14
  Philpot playing this weekend and that's
• 9:16
  almost good enough for me. He's
• 9:19
  the number one receiver for them. Lots of
• 9:21
  targets, lots of catches, may get a
• 9:23
  touchdown or two. Jones also looks pretty
• 9:25
  good there. He's been on a heater as of
• 9:28
  late, so that's where I'd be going.
• 9:32
  So those are all the things to consider,
• 9:34
  but once I've considered all of them
• 9:36
  things, what did I decide? Well, frankly,
• 9:38
  I'm deciding right now I am going to
• 9:40
  stick with Kelly. I'll take the chance
• 9:42
  that he stays in for the whole game and
• 9:45
  uh, and plays well after missing a game.
• 9:47
  I think he'll want to make sure there's
• 9:49
  no rust on him. They may sit him for 1/2
• 9:52
  game next weekend. Montreal or
• 9:55
  against Montreal, not even sure where the
• 9:57
  game is, but anyway, so.
• 10:00
  Here we go. My defence will be
• 10:03
  the Edmonton Elks, my quarterback will be
• 10:06
  Chad Kelly and my captain from Toronto.
• 10:09
  My running backs are going to be
• 10:12
  I think it's Shamari Lawrence out Of
• 10:15
  Montreal and Shondarick Powell out of.
• 10:18
  Edmonton and then my wide receivers.
• 10:23
  Jill and Phil bought out of Calgary and
• 10:26
  Unger out of those Toronto receivers.
• 10:28
  Hoping he'll get a lot of catches.
• 10:31
  And my flex will be key on Schaefer Baker
• 10:33
  in his third game back. Looks like he's
• 10:36
  doing fairly well. Leaves
• 10:38
  me point 4K.
• 10:42
  So that's the team. We'll see how we do
• 10:44
  this weekend. If you're still in
• 10:46
  meaningful games, I wish you all the luck
• 10:48
  in the world. Or even if you're just
• 10:50
  playing to. For what is it, Eagle?
• 10:53
  I don't know why the hell did we do this,
• 10:55
  but I wish you all the luck. Hopefully
• 10:57
  there's lots of good football to be seen
• 10:59
  this weekend.
• 11:03
  Don't know what else to say, Subscribe.
• 11:06
  Don't miss anything we're doing here.
• 11:10
  Beg get in my last little bag there.
• 11:13
  Other than that, yeah.
• 11:15
  Hope for a great weekend of football.
• 11:19
  Wonder if anything will be any clearer in
• 11:21
  the playoff race. Old man.
• 11:24
  Signing off.
