Time To Be a Phoenix Oldman Plays CFL Weekly Fantasy S03 E03 · The CFL Outsiders

• 0:02
  Hey kids, welcome back to another week of
• 0:04
  old man played CFL weekly fantasy. Yes
• 0:07
  indeed a rough start to the season for
• 0:10
  me. Anyone that caught the show last week
• 0:12
  will know I had 71.9 points and lost
• 0:15
  badly 13th out of 16 in the league.
• 0:18
  Oh so this week or this past week
• 0:21
  I was. Trying to bounce back
• 0:23
  and I felt pretty good about the team
• 0:26
  I put together. We got 121.5 points and
• 0:29
  I thought that might be good enough to
• 0:32
  win my it was fifth in the league.
• 0:35
  Hey, I was 16, not so bad. My
• 0:38
  opponent, Hamilton Sports Channel was
• 0:39
  fourth with 121.8. That's right, I lost a
• 0:42
  game by 0.3 points. 0.3 friggin points,
• 0:45
  Can you believe it? Oh, that hurt. So I
• 0:48
  have to see what I can bounce back this
• 0:51
  week. I'm against Cooper Trooper from
• 0:53
  Canadian Football Countdown and he does a
• 0:55
  he plays a mean fantasy game. So I'm
• 0:58
  going to have to be on my toes this
• 1:01
  week starting to see sort of how the
• 1:03
  players are. Performing in 26 but I'm
• 1:06
  still looking back to last year's to get
• 1:09
  some idea. Went back again and looked at
• 1:11
  specifically how these teams performed
• 1:13
  against each other last year and how the
• 1:16
  receivers in particular did. A
• 1:19
  lot of caveats there. There's a lot of
• 1:21
  different coordinators around, players in
• 1:22
  different positions or different teams,
• 1:24
  stuff like that. So hard to say, but it
• 1:26
  gives us something. So starting with the
• 1:28
  first game, we've got BC going into
• 1:30
  Edmonton on Friday night. BC's beat up at
• 1:32
  receiver, three of them out. They've got
• 1:34
  Berry Hill out, they've got Sevens McGee
• 1:36
  out who was going to be in the starting
• 1:39
  lineup this year. We're told and they got
• 1:41
  Katoi out, so 3 backups in, there might
• 1:43
  be some cheap people to pick up because
• 1:45
  you know, Nathan's got to be throwing the
• 1:47
  ball and they can't all go to the two top
• 1:50
  guys. Now if you do want to go with the
• 1:52
  top ones, when they played in BC, Hatcher
• 1:55
  blew up and had a hell of a game. When
• 1:57
  they played in Hamilton, McGinnis blew up
• 1:59
  and had a. Damn good game both of them,
• 2:02
  you know, well up over 100 yards and
• 2:04
  multiple catches. But who knows? So
• 2:07
  which one will get the game this time? I
• 2:09
  think I'm going to stay away from Nathan
• 2:11
  just because he's got so many unproven
• 2:13
  receivers. And on the other side of the
• 2:16
  ball, again, the offense has changed a
• 2:18
  lot. But if you want to go with Beau, I'd
• 2:20
  say Keandre Smith is your best bet. I
• 2:22
  mean, Kenny made some catches in those
• 2:24
  games against BC, but nothing's too.
• 2:26
  Tacular, whereas Smith between the two
• 2:29
  games had 19 catches and averaged
• 2:31
  92 yards, got 3 touchdowns in
• 2:34
  the two games, so he might
• 2:37
  be a good team up Toronto
• 2:39
  at Ottawa, Part of Toronto's Extended
• 2:42
  Rd. tour at the start of
• 2:44
  their season here.
• 2:47
  Again, different quarterback for Ottawa.
• 2:49
  It's mayor, not Brown, so I don't know.
• 2:51
  Hardy did the best last year, so if you
• 2:53
  want to make a team up in those ones, you
• 2:56
  can't. I don't think I'll stay away from
• 2:58
  that. The other side, I'm tempted because
• 3:00
  I think it's going to be a high scoring
• 3:02
  game and as much as it pains me to take
• 3:05
  the Chad I, he might be the best bet.
• 3:07
  Quarterback this week, hard to say who
• 3:10
  the team up with last year in the
• 3:13
  games their best performer was Herslow
• 3:15
  and he's not on the depth chart for
• 3:18
  this game. Coxey didn't do well, but mind
• 3:21
  you again with a different quarterback
• 3:23
  going deep, maybe maybe he's there as
• 3:25
  well. Polk didn't look good with. With
• 3:28
  this connection with Kelly last week,
• 3:30
  will they sort it out this week? I don't
• 3:32
  know. Last week it was my tell and then
• 3:35
  new player Common that both blew up for a
• 3:37
  lot in that game. Mitchell
• 3:40
  played steady last year against them so
• 3:42
  might want to go that way and depending
• 3:45
  on price, maybe you can take Kelly and
• 3:48
  both of those and hope you hit who
• 3:51
  blows up. I might, I might consider that.
• 3:54
  Then we've got the afternoon game, which
• 3:57
  is Montreal, at Edmonton and for
• 3:59
  Edmonton. Last year, all against
• 4:02
  Montreal, all their receivers were pretty
• 4:03
  mere, you know, two or three catches
• 4:05
  average and maybe about 30 yards. So if
• 4:08
  you're going to go with Cody as your
• 4:10
  quarterback and you want to team up with
• 4:12
  someone, I'd I'd probably go to Mac and
• 4:15
  see what they do on the other side.
• 4:17
  Alexander only played one game. The other
• 4:19
  game it was Caleb. Robbins and McLeod,
• 4:21
  Bethel Thompson that were in there, but
• 4:23
  the game that Alexander played and
• 4:25
  Philpott only played in that game too, he
• 4:27
  blew up. So Alexander and Philpott might
• 4:29
  be a good combination if you want to go
• 4:31
  with Sneed again, he didn't perform as
• 4:33
  well as Phil Pott against him last year,
• 4:35
  but he was good and solid and he got
• 4:38
  touched down and, you know, averaged 60
• 4:40
  yards and. Almost 6 sketches, so you
• 4:42
  might want to go that way. And then
• 4:45
  that takes us to our last game of
• 4:48
  the week, the Saskatchewan at Calgary
• 4:50
  game. Might be
• 4:53
  tempted to take Saskatchewan after they
• 4:55
  their performance last week. I mean
• 4:57
  Harris was incredibly accurate. We had
• 5:00
  Schaefer, Baker blow up for something
• 5:02
  like I think it was 9 or
• 5:05
  10 catches for 100 and close to
• 5:07
  60 yards and less went off for
• 5:10
  three touchdowns. Johnson had over 100.
• 5:12
  Cards, I believe so any of them could
• 5:15
  could do it. But on the other hand, they
• 5:18
  didn't perform well against Calgary last
• 5:19
  year and. Who knows what will
• 5:22
  happen with this one. I think I'm staying
• 5:24
  away from that. On the other side, if you
• 5:27
  want to go with the Calgary, you're going
• 5:29
  to go with BA as your quarterback and
• 5:31
  team up with somebody. It looks like
• 5:33
  Jalen Philpotts, probably your best bet.
• 5:36
  So there's what's what. I'm going to fire
• 5:39
  up the old computer here and see what my
• 5:42
  weekly budget will allow me to put
• 5:44
  together for a team and.
• 5:47
  Hope we do have better results this week.
• 5:51
  OK, let's see where we're going to go
• 5:53
  here with this, I said. As much as it
• 5:55
  pains me that for some reason it just
• 5:57
  feels like maybe Kelly is the guy this
• 5:59
  week. Let's see, where does he come in to
• 6:01
  stuff here?Ohh, he's only
• 6:04
  at 13 four, so he's considerably cheaper.
• 6:07
  I can't think I like that idea.
• 6:10
  Let's try running back. Maybe stick with
• 6:13
  the Toronto theme there. And because
• 6:15
  they're running back, Hicks played fairly
• 6:18
  well in that game. He might be
• 6:21
  a good start. He's 7. .5 doesn't
• 6:24
  look like they're yeah. So yeah, that's
• 6:26
  possible. And then wide receivers, if
• 6:29
  we're sticking with that, I saidpossibly.
• 6:34
  Mattel at 12, he's a little
• 6:37
  expensive. And then do they have?
• 6:42
  The other one in there, Cameron, Ah,
• 6:44
  there he is and he's 3.5. So let's
• 6:47
  let's try those where I know we're taken
• 6:50
  at a bit of a chance with that,
• 6:52
  but that looks that leaves us lots to
• 6:55
  play with here. So I can then maybe
• 6:58
  take the best the defense that I figure
• 7:00
  is going to be best Saskatchewan. And
• 7:03
  they a little beat up. It's hard to tell
• 7:06
  BC I certainly wouldn't go there with it.
• 7:09
  No, I think maybe.
• 7:12
  Or on the other hand, maybe Hamilton.
• 7:14
  Let's try that to start with, see where
• 7:16
  that leaves us. OK, so running backs,
• 7:18
  what are we going to do with running
• 7:21
  backs? I said I didn't want Mills because
• 7:23
  he's up against Saskatchewan and he may
• 7:26
  go off, but I don't know for sure.
• 7:30
  Can we trust Greg Bell against
• 7:32
  that Toronto defense? Montreal didn't run
• 7:35
  on them very much and, umm.
• 7:38
  Mind you, didn't win. He does like to
• 7:41
  establish a running game too.
• 7:44
  This is going to be a tough one.
• 7:47
  How can AJ do against the Calgary line?
• 7:50
  I can go with a higher priced one,
• 7:53
  but do I want to umm ah what
• 7:55
  the heck, let's take a chance on Bell.
• 7:58
  And what does that leave me then for
• 8:01
  my flex player 12.9, So for a 12.9.
• 8:04
  They could take Schaefer. Baker could
• 8:06
  also back off on my running back. So who
• 8:09
  do we have here up to the top of
• 8:12
  this? Yeah, let's do that. Let's go.
• 8:14
  Let's not go with Greg Bell.
• 8:18
  Let's instead go with Roundtree
• 8:20
  from Hamilton because he's as
• 8:23
  good a chance as as
• 8:25
  any one. And then that
• 8:28
  leaves me down here. I
• 8:30
  can take Tyson Philpot.
• 8:36
  OK, and that's not a bad team put
• 8:38
  together. I have the room to go from
• 8:41
  Hamilton defence to Montreal's defence,
• 8:43
  but Montreal is missing Bever at so I'm
• 8:46
  not sure that I want to do that.
• 8:48
  Where else could I upgrade here? I don't
• 8:51
  know that there's a running back that I
• 8:54
  want better than any of these. Over and
• 8:57
  put Mills in there or two. Toronto
• 8:59
  again and fit Hicks in. I believe
• 9:02
  I can. OK, that's it. I feel
• 9:05
  better about that .1 lamp not leaving
• 9:08
  any money on the table and I
• 9:10
  think I'd like what the combination I've
• 9:13
  got there. So make Kelly the captain.
• 9:16
  Lock it in and.
• 9:20
  There's our team, the Hamilton Tiger,
• 9:23
  Cats defense, Kelly as quarterback and
• 9:26
  captain from Toronto. Diedrich Mills from
• 9:29
  Calgary is 1 running back. Hicks
• 9:31
  from Toronto is the other running
• 9:34
  back. My wide receivers are both
• 9:37
  Toronto, Kevin Mattel and Carmen I
• 9:40
  believe. Close to how you pronounce his
• 9:42
  name. The new fellow and my flex is going
• 9:45
  to be Tyson Philpot. OK, so
• 9:48
  there's them, there's my picks. Ah, as
• 9:50
  always, use them at your peril. As I
• 9:52
  mentioned, I'm owing 2 to start the
• 9:55
  season, hoping that I start to bounce
• 9:57
  back here and campfire fall too far
• 9:59
  behind in this league or I'll be in
• 10:02
  trouble. But thank you for watching.
