  Hey kids, welcome back to another

  episode of Old Man Plays CFL
• 0:09
  Weekly Fantasy Ha ha.
• 0:12
  Another nasty day here where I am. Lots
• 0:15
  of smoke and its trap and heat in
• 0:18
  the valley so we're in casual mode to
• 0:21
  day. It's hotter than Hades here.
• 0:24
  You can't receive more than three feet in
• 0:26
  front of you for the smoke, but that's
• 0:29
  enough complaining if we're here to talk
• 0:31
  about fantasy football.
• 0:34
  Way back in Week 2, the
• 0:37
  Hamilton Sports channel beat me by
• 0:39
  0.3 points. I think it was
• 0:42
  like 105.2 to 105.5 or something
• 0:45
  like that, which hurt like heck.
• 0:49
  Well, guess what?Last week.
• 0:52
  The football guys threw a makeup flag.
• 0:56
  As up against the elk herd and I
• 0:59
  beat them by yet you got it 0.3
• 1:02
  points.
• 1:04
  106.5 to
• 1:06
  106.2.
• 1:09
  A close win, but I'll take it. I'll take
• 1:12
  it. This week I'm up against, uh, all
• 1:15
  kinds of clay out of the Argo fan cast
• 1:17
  and umm, they're above me in the
• 1:19
  standings and a good team. So we're gonna
• 1:22
  have to see what we can do.
• 1:25
  But. Looking at what we've
• 1:28
  got this week, well going through the
• 1:30
  injury reports. Saskatchewan's been hit
• 1:33
  hard. You might want to keep that
• 1:36
  in in mind. Both.
• 1:38
  KSB and MLS are out on
• 1:41
  the offense. On the defense, they're
• 1:44
  down. Rowan Milligan, who probably won't
• 1:47
  be back this year. They also Trayvon
• 1:50
  Campbell is down South. That's. That's
• 1:53
  some big hits to take. Luckily they're
• 1:56
  paying, playing Ottawa and. They
• 1:58
  put Lacombe over at corner
• 2:01
  to replace Campbell. I personally think
• 2:04
  he's a better corner than safety anyway,
• 2:06
  so I think all things considered they
• 2:08
  will be OK there. They'll probably win
• 2:10
  that game. But. I don't
• 2:13
  know that I'm going to be looking to them
• 2:16
  for any of my positions. Because
• 2:18
  let's, well, let's start talking
• 2:20
  quarterback. You know, basically Nathan
• 2:22
  may or may not be back. We haven't heard
• 2:25
  anything on it yet. We heard he was taken
• 2:27
  first team reps we've heard they're
• 2:29
  hopeful. But even if he's back, that
• 2:32
  Hamilton defense is a pretty tough one to
• 2:34
  play against. They
• 2:37
  may get through to him and and hurt him
• 2:39
  again if he's back in too soon. So.
• 2:44
  I don't, I'm it's too early for me to
• 2:45
  take Nathan and on the Hamilton side, of
• 2:47
  course. We don't know if it's going to be
• 2:50
  Ford or Frost, but either way.
• 2:53
  Can't see taking them with it. Harris
• 2:56
  and Saskatchewan would normally be up
• 2:58
  there on my list. However.
• 3:01
  Who's he gonna throw to? So I'm
• 3:03
  gonna back off there. And then
• 3:06
  you've got the well, Fedo has been doing
• 3:09
  quite well, but Montreal's got a good
• 3:11
  defense and they're in Montreal and
• 3:13
  Alexander's been doing amazing. About
• 3:16
  Edmonton, defense has been playing up a
• 3:18
  couple of levels this year, so they kind
• 3:20
  of scare me off of both of them.
• 3:25
  Where does that leave us? Well, pretty
• 3:27
  much with the. Calgary, Toronto game
• 3:30
  Kelly will probably throw for a lot of
• 3:32
  yardage, but the Calgary defense had been
• 3:35
  playing better and better and I don't
• 3:37
  think they're going to give up a lot of
• 3:39
  scoring to him. I do think that they will
• 3:42
  probably pick him off, definitely sack
• 3:44
  him a few times. So I'm not going with
• 3:47
  Kelly, although I am going to go with the
• 3:50
  Stampeders defense. I think that's them
• 3:51
  against Kelly is my best match up there.
• 3:54
  On the other hand though. VA doesn't
• 3:57
  seem to matter who he throws to. I don't
• 3:59
  expect him to have another six touchdown
• 4:01
  game. Game against Toronto, but he
• 4:03
  shredded them last time and I expect that
• 4:06
  he will still get some big, big plays in
• 4:08
  there and it should look good. So BA is
• 4:11
  going to be my quarterback with all that
• 4:14
  logic. Now we get
• 4:17
  to the running backs, and this is hard
• 4:19
  because everybody who's starting is
• 4:21
  basically, or almost everybody who's
• 4:23
  starting is 15,000. And do you get the
• 4:26
  value out of that? I don't know. Now
• 4:29
  Rankin, people have soured on him a bit.
• 4:31
  He's been. Three or four games since he
• 4:34
  had a big game, but he was up against a
• 4:37
  couple of really tough running defenses.
• 4:39
  And he did take off against Montreal last
• 4:41
  time, so I think it's time to go back to
• 4:43
  Rankin. Don't have the faith to make him
• 4:46
  the captain. I'm still going to do VA as
• 4:49
  captain, but I think Rankin should be in
• 4:51
  your lineup at running back this week and
• 4:53
  then if you're looking for someone else
• 4:55
  who's a little bit lower priced, well,
• 4:57
  don't know what's happening with Butler,
• 4:59
  but I'm guessing. That Horvath will get a
• 5:02
  lot of the load this week and he still
• 5:04
  does short yardage and he's 7.2 K which
• 5:06
  means now you need like 10 points out of
• 5:08
  him so you need. A touchdown
• 5:11
  and. 40 yards or
• 5:14
  a couple of catches and 20 yards, but
• 5:17
  I still think he's probably one of the
• 5:19
  best bets for running backs to give you
• 5:22
  value. Getting to
• 5:25
  the wide receivers well. I don't
• 5:28
  think you cannot take Tyson these days
• 5:30
  the way he's been going off and he went
• 5:32
  off against Edmonton last time. He's
• 5:34
  doing it against everybody. So I think he
• 5:36
  has to be in there, which is a 15 K
• 5:39
  one. That means we need a couple of lower
• 5:41
  priced ones on receiver and flex and.
• 5:45
  At 2.5 K, Luther from Edmonton,
• 5:48
  I mean he's gotten a few
• 5:50
  touchdowns lately, he's gotten consistent
• 5:53
  targeting and at 2.5 K.
• 5:56
  If he gets. Basically 3 catches and
• 5:59
  20 yards, he's more than performed for
• 6:01
  his dollar value. So I think there's
• 6:03
  nothing but upside there. And then on the
• 6:06
  Flecks, there's a lot of people you can
• 6:08
  go to, but looking at what's been hot
• 6:11
  lately, I think Tyreek McAllister again,
• 6:13
  6.6 K. He's.
• 6:16
  May not get as much time in the offense,
• 6:19
  but he's seeing more and more. They're
• 6:21
  certainly working him in there. So that's
• 6:23
  I think that's probably the best bet. Are
• 6:25
  there other receivers out there that that
• 6:27
  I would consider? Well, yeah. I mean, you
• 6:29
  can look at just about in Montreal,
• 6:31
  depending on the price point you want to
• 6:33
  put on it, there's Sneed or there's
• 6:35
  Speaker Has been doing fairly well since
• 6:37
  he came back. Mac has been.
• 6:40
  Playing really well in Edmonton, so you
• 6:42
  might want to consider him Saskatchewan,
• 6:44
  maybe want to look at Johnson because
• 6:46
  with players out he's going to be their
• 6:49
  go to guy. You might get some some big
• 6:51
  points that way. You know, that's
• 6:54
  a possibility. And those Toronto
• 6:56
  receivers, Coaxy Polk, you probably can't
• 6:58
  go wrong with either of them. Common is
• 7:01
  a little lower priced and is a touchdown
• 7:04
  favorite. So all of those things. But
• 7:06
  that's not what I'm doing. What I'm doing
• 7:09
  here. This is it. This is my team
• 7:12
  for this week. I'm going with the Calgary
• 7:15
  Stampeders defense. I'm going with Vernon
• 7:17
  Adams from Calgary as my quarterback and
• 7:19
  captain. My running backs will be Xander
• 7:22
  Horvath out of BC and Justin Rankin out
• 7:25
  of Edmonton. My receivers are
• 7:28
  going to be Tyson Philpott out Of
• 7:30
  Montreal and. I think it's
• 7:33
  TJ Luther. Luther anyway, out of
• 7:36
  Edmonton. And my flex is
• 7:38
  going to be Tyreke McAllister.
• 7:41
  Out of Calgary and that left me
• 7:44
  with 000 dollars to spend. I don't
• 7:47
  know if that's a good or a
• 7:50
  bad thing, but hey.
• 7:52
  It doesn't happen that often, so I'll
• 7:55
  celebrate that. We'll hope for the
• 7:57
  victory. And hopefully this has done you
• 7:59
  some sort of good, so if it's helping you
• 8:02
  at all, drop a like. Drop a

  Hope you have a great week of fantasy.
• 8:32
  Hope we have a good week. Football,
• 8:35
  it's. I'm not sure that
• 8:38
  Edmonton Montreal game should be pretty
• 8:39
  damn good, but the rest look like they
• 8:42
  have the potential to be.
• 8:46
  Well, less sparkling. They might be
• 8:48
  really exciting and interesting, but less
• 8:50
  sparkling. That's it until
• 8:53
  next week, old man signing off.
