Free Falling-Oldman Plays CFL Weekly Fantasy S03 E13 · The CFL Outsiders

• 0:02
  Hey kids, welcome back to another week of
• 0:04
  Old Man plays CFL weekly fantasy. Ha ha,
• 0:07
  yeah, yeah, the jocularity is a little
• 0:10
  forced this week. I don't know what's
• 0:12
  going on. I'm in free fall. Haven't seen
• 0:15
  an update from the league since like week
• 0:18
  9, but I believe I met 5:00 and
• 0:20
  7:00, which isn't good. I'm like 10th in
• 0:23
  scoring. I just. I can't get a handle
• 0:26
  on the CFL. Who's gonna be hot any
• 0:29
  given week? I feel like I'm. And
• 0:31
  stuff rather than predicting I.
• 0:35
  So please take anything I say here
• 0:38
  with a large grain of salt.
• 0:43
  I. Anyway, we
• 0:46
  got to play, got to play out the season
• 0:49
  and. Don't give in to despair.
• 0:52
  There's still time to get back. I got to
• 0:54
  get up to the top eight in the league to
• 0:57
  get in the playoffs and then anything can
• 1:00
  happen. So what are we going to put the
• 1:02
  team together this week? Well,
• 1:04
  quarterbacks, I I really think there's
• 1:06
  only. Two choices, and maybe
• 1:09
  2 if you want to take a
• 1:11
  bit of a flyer on it. Umm,
• 1:14
  and then the other.
• 1:17
  Bore our nose for me. So who
• 1:20
  are the noes for me? Well.
• 1:23
  Not Zach, not against that Montreal
• 1:25
  defence and not the way he's been
• 1:27
  performing, not love in Calgary in his. I
• 1:30
  think it's his first start ever and I
• 1:33
  don't know if they're going to win.
• 1:35
  They're going to lean on the running game
• 1:38
  on the awful lot, so definitely not
• 1:41
  there. Not Mare, who
• 1:44
  I'm assuming will start.
• 1:46
  In Ottawa.
• 1:49
  And let's see who was the the
• 1:52
  4th. Not 10, Not Trevor.
• 1:55
  Because as good as he is until
• 1:58
  he gets some.
• 2:01
  Some chemistry with his new receiving
• 2:03
  corps. I don't want to take the chance
• 2:06
  so. I wouldn't go there.
• 2:09
  The two that are maybes for me is
• 2:12
  Kelly. He did put up some big numbers
• 2:15
  against the sketch one earlier in the
• 2:17
  season and Saskatchewan has juggled their
• 2:19
  defence, put Lacombe back to safety but
• 2:21
  brought in a new corner, brought in a
• 2:24
  new strong sideline backer. So maybe, but
• 2:27
  I just feel like defences are sorting out
• 2:29
  what they're trying to do with that long
• 2:32
  ball and taking it away from Toronto, so
• 2:35
  I'm less keen there. I'm also a
• 2:38
  maybe is Ford because he is getting the
• 2:40
  start they you expect. The defence for
• 2:43
  Hamilton will keep Calgary limited time
• 2:45
  on the field with Love in there. So
• 2:47
  you both have a lot of chances. As
• 2:50
  long as he doesn't make mistakes and
• 2:52
  doesn't get pulled, he's a shot. But the
• 2:55
  two that I would really look at this
• 2:58
  week are Nathan because he's heating up
• 3:00
  and he's playing that Ottawa defence.
• 3:03
  And Alexander, because he's Alexander and
• 3:05
  he's playing that Winnipeg defence. So
• 3:08
  we'll see. OK, so running backs, well,
• 3:10
  let's see go and let's go east to
• 3:13
  West on this one. Start out with pace
• 3:16
  in Montreal. Good choice. Probably if he
• 3:19
  runs the ball, it's I have no doubt
• 3:22
  they can. But with Moss last week he
• 3:25
  ran all over Ottawa. This week he could
• 3:27
  come out and throw.
• 3:30
  50 times against Winnipeg or could go
• 3:33
  heavy on the run. You just don't
• 3:36
  know. So I'm tice is not quite
• 3:38
  15K. He's a good choice going to
• 3:41
  Toronto. They had
• 3:44
  a good running game last week against
• 3:46
  Hamilton, but up against the sketch,
• 3:48
  while the first time they met, Hicks
• 3:50
  broke off 1 long one for about 40 yards
• 3:53
  and then they shut down everything. So
• 3:55
  I'm not confident in picking anybody from
• 3:57
  Toronto. Same thing with Hamilton. I
• 3:59
  don't know they they may go with
• 4:01
  Roundtree and he might run, but they
• 4:04
  haven't they even with Ford in there,
• 4:06
  they've been passing, passing, passing.
• 4:07
  So there's that and uh oh, I guess I
• 4:10
  missed Ottawa. It says heading to West,
• 4:12
  but. Yeah, Nah, they're they got no
• 4:15
  run game going at all. Winnipeg,
• 4:17
  Oliveira, Sure, he could be a big
• 4:20
  factor, except I don't think that he'll
• 4:23
  get any touches or very few. I
• 4:25
  expect Montreal will go up quick and
• 4:28
  Tyndale will forget that Brady exists as
• 4:31
  he's chasing points. Conley
• 4:34
  in Saskatchewan. Maybe, maybe up
• 4:36
  against Toronto defence that is somewhat
• 4:38
  susceptible to the run and he has looked
• 4:41
  good so I'd consider him.
• 4:44
  Mills in Calgary are rookie quarterback
• 4:46
  in there and they like to run the
• 4:49
  ball. Will Dickinson have the Kahones to
• 4:52
  stay with the run? I think so because
• 4:55
  it's not like Hamilton should be scoring
• 4:57
  a lot of points. So I think Mills
• 5:00
  is a real good choice and then when you
• 5:03
  get to BC, it's at Butler or Horvath. I
• 5:05
  think Horvath will get the majority of
• 5:07
  the touches. He gets that short yardage
• 5:08
  stuff. He is up to 10.2 K, so he's a bit
• 5:11
  expensive, but I think he's a good
• 5:13
  choice. So looking at that. Ah, monotone
• 5:15
  blah blah blah blah blah. Let's try to
• 5:18
  make it a little more exciting, old man.
• 5:20
  Let's say throw some enthusiasm in here
• 5:22
  that we're trying to build.
• 5:25
  Wide receivers, Well, let's take a look
• 5:28
  at that. BC
• 5:30
  maybe Katoi?
• 5:33
  He's not a bad price and he's been
• 5:36
  heating up a lot lately. The others,
• 5:38
  definitely you'll get some points, but
• 5:40
  Nathan's been thrown to everybody so it's
• 5:43
  hard to pick there. Calgary, I'm staying
• 5:46
  away from Calgary receivers because.
• 5:49
  Rookie quarterback and I just, I don't
• 5:51
  have a lot of faith. Winnipeg
• 5:54
  receivers, well, same thing who I mean,
• 5:56
  first of all, they don't have an
• 5:59
  impressive receiving corps any more and.
• 6:02
  Can Zack get the ball to them against the
• 6:04
  Montreal defence? I don't think so. So
• 6:06
  staying away from. Winnipeg
• 6:09
  receivers. Again, Hamilton
• 6:12
  Well. Ford's been
• 6:15
  doing better. But it gets hard to
• 6:18
  tell who exactly he's going to throw to.
• 6:20
  He's been going Myron Mitchell maybe has
• 6:23
  been getting balls from Ford and so you
• 6:25
  might want to think of him as a
• 6:28
  mid price receiver. Toronto again, maybe
• 6:30
  coaxy, but Herslow hasn't certainly
• 6:32
  hasn't taken off. Maybe Younger is a
• 6:34
  better one there because he's cheaper and
• 6:37
  gets consistent targets. So you might
• 6:39
  want to think about going that way.
• 6:41
  Ottawa well. Eberhardt came over from
• 6:44
  BC and he has performed pretty
• 6:46
  consistently. Will he be motivated? Will
• 6:48
  they get the ball to him? Depending
• 6:51
  on who's at quarterback him, I don't
• 6:54
  know, but he's he just might be
• 6:57
  worth while. And then the last two
• 7:00
  that I haven't mentioned. Montreal kids,
• 7:02
  of course, Philpott, you could go with
• 7:04
  Sneed, you could go with Speaker, who's a
• 7:07
  lower priced one too. But I think if
• 7:10
  you're going to go with Montreal and
• 7:12
  spend big money, Philpott's got to be the
• 7:14
  the guy that goes there and then
• 7:17
  strangely enough, Saskatchewan even with
• 7:18
  their. Their depleted receiving corps,
• 7:21
  there is some possibilities there.
• 7:23
  Johnson has been fairly consistent. He's
• 7:25
  had some drops lately, but the
• 7:28
  game gets going. He's he's dependable,
• 7:31
  he's been covered because they've.
• 7:33
  Had nobody else to throw to for a few
• 7:36
  weeks here and again they've lost endless
• 7:38
  this week so it's a a bunch of new
• 7:41
  people in there. I don't know how well
• 7:44
  Harris will get the balls of them, but
• 7:46
  they have put Shmer Bridges in at the
• 7:48
  boundary receiver. He's cheap and I think
• 7:51
  that that's a a chance you've got to
• 7:53
  take. He's going to take targets there.
• 7:55
  Plus being over there on that side with
• 7:58
  Johnson may open up a little bit more for
• 8:00
  Johnson and they make the targets there
• 8:02
  may work. And I could see that. I could
• 8:05
  see them using Bridges more as a decoy,
• 8:07
  but I expect he will get. He'll
• 8:10
  have to get some targets just to get
• 8:13
  them. Respecting that they have put de
• 8:15
  Jean Mims and Daniel Wiebe in and they're
• 8:18
  both. Low priced ones that may
• 8:21
  get some good looks. I'm thinking Mims is
• 8:24
  the better choice there just from where
• 8:27
  they're lining him up, but that's about
• 8:29
  it anyway. And uh yeah, blah blah blah.
• 8:32
  Keep going old man defences. BC is
• 8:35
  against Ottawa, so they should be some
• 8:37
  picks that are there. Montreal against
• 8:39
  Zach, yeah, there's they may put up some
• 8:42
  scoring in Toronto against Harris and the
• 8:45
  the timing issues he's having may be
• 8:47
  there. I would avoid Saskatchewan with
• 8:50
  the juggling they've done. I don't have
• 8:52
  enough faith to pick them. And of course
• 8:55
  avoid ought to walk as they haven't been
• 8:58
  good and they're up against BC and I'd
• 9:00
  avoid Winnipeg against the Alouette's
• 9:02
  surprise. I do think the value pick of
• 9:04
  the week is Hamilton. There one of
• 9:07
  the I think there's a second cheapest
• 9:10
  defence. They have been turning the ball
• 9:12
  over, taking it off the teams and they're
• 9:15
  playing against an inexperienced
• 9:17
  quarterback. Calgary will probably go
• 9:19
  heavy with Mills and Hamilton did give up
• 9:22
  run yardage last week, but different
• 9:24
  situation. You're not playing. Against
• 9:27
  Chad Kelly, you're playing against
• 9:29
  love. So I think maybe for the
• 9:32
  price might be the best way to go. And in
• 9:35
  fact, I did choose some we've got.
• 9:38
  The Hamilton Tiger Cats defence
• 9:40
  quarterback is Alexander out Of Montreal.
• 9:43
  He's also my captain. Running backs
• 9:46
  are Mills from Calgary and Horvath
• 9:48
  from BC. My wide receivers are.
• 9:52
  Tyson Philpott out Of Montreal
• 9:54
  and Shamari Bridges out of
• 9:57
  Saskatchewan and my flex is
• 9:59
  Jarius Jackson. Out of BC.
• 10:07
  Why those things? Well, like I said,
• 10:09
  Hamilton's a value pick on defence and I
• 10:11
  they're running against an inexperienced
• 10:12
  quarterback. Could give up a lot of run
• 10:15
  yards, but I think they'll be OK. Why
• 10:18
  Alexander over Nathan? Well, he's proven
• 10:20
  more consistent and he's not having to
• 10:22
  travel halfway across the country and
• 10:24
  he's not playing a substantially better
• 10:26
  team than Nathan is. Running backs Mills
• 10:28
  because Calgary's got to try and run the
• 10:30
  ball, I figure with a inexperienced
• 10:32
  quarterback in there and they have been
• 10:34
  able to do that when they needed to in
• 10:37
  the past. Horvath out of Beseech
• 10:40
  has he's getting the bulk of the touches.
• 10:43
  Ottawa's given up a lot to the run,
• 10:46
  especially to big bruising backs like
• 10:47
  him. And he's the short
• 10:50
  yardage quarterback, so get some points
• 10:53
  there. Philpott, again, how can you not
• 10:55
  the way he's performing bridges because
• 10:58
  he's got that boundary corner starting
• 11:00
  spot in Saskatchewan. Yes, only a week to
• 11:03
  get chemistry with Harris, but I think
• 11:04
  that that will still bring in some good
• 11:07
  stuff. And again, he's cheap. He's 6.4 K.
• 11:09
  And Jackson, I didn't even mention him
• 11:11
  when I was talking about receivers and
• 11:13
  had basically about 8K left and who was
• 11:15
  the best one I could find on the board
• 11:17
  and I think that was him. So that was
• 11:20
  sort of just going with it. I'm left with
• 11:23
  .6 K to.
• 11:27
  Well, whatever you do with that, I guess
• 11:29
  it just goes away. I'm left with .6 K to
• 11:32
  burn. All right, that's
• 11:34
  it. As always, sems my picks. If
• 11:37
  you're thinking about following any of
• 11:39
  this, do so with.
• 11:42
  A lot of caution at your own peril.
• 11:47
  I really hope this is my week starting to
• 11:49
  come back but who knows.
• 11:52
  Thank you, hope we get a better weekend
• 11:55
  of football than the last couple, but I'm
• 11:58
  not completely optimistic on that either.
• 12:00
  Sorry grumpy old man today, aren't I? All
• 12:03
  right, that's enough old man, signingoff.
