Welcome to the Full Time Fantasy Podcast. Please ent it by the Fantasy Football
World Championship, home to the industry'smost accurate rankings. What is up,
(00:50):
everybody? Welcome to the Full TimeFantasy Podcast. I am your host.
Adam Crowerson with me is a newspecial guest for me tonight. Uh.
Danny Gibson on the show tonight.He's got a couple of top teams here
in the FFWC World Championships. Danny, what is going on? My friend?
(01:10):
What's going on? Adam? Appreciateyou having me, man, Let's
talk some football. Let's go listen. It always sounds better when a guy
with a Southern draws is let's talksome football. I feel like we're gonna
talk smash mouth ball right when yougot that that Southern draw. But yeah,
no, it's super super cool tohave you on, and I'm uh,
listen. I'm excited for you beingin the top five of the World
(01:33):
Championship. I'm more excited for mealso being in the top five of the
Fantasy Championship by co on a teamwith Jack cole Sheen, my normal co
host who was not able to tobe on tonight. Hopefully's I would say,
hopefully he's grinding waivers, but there'sno more waivers. But but Danny,
talk to me about your season,right, Where are you playing,
(01:53):
how much are you playing? What'syour what's your go to style here?
Do you like grinding waivers? What'swhat's your thing? Are you? Are
you you a high stakes grinder?Yeah? So I would probably say amongst
all the Vegas type of leagues,whether it be full time f FPC,
just kind of you know, highstakes, I probably have somewhere around fifteen
(02:13):
to twenty teams this year, SoI grind it out just like yourself,
I'm sure, but this is onethat I probably have the most teams in
just because I like the format,I like the strategy element. So you
know that that's been kind of youknow what I've done as far as these
two teams, It's been kind ofa roller coaster, man, which I
(02:35):
feel like this entire fantasy season hasbeen with injuries, you know, quarterback
changes, quarterback injuries. You know, this has been really kind of a
unique year across the board. Soit's been it's been fun, stressful,
a season of high season of lows, and you know we're talking before we
got started, like who the hellknows what's gonna happen this week. I
mean, honestly, with players playingquarterback changes the Russell Wilson News. So
(03:01):
there's a lot of dynamics in playthis weekend. Yeah, dude, it's
but this is what we do.We do it for this to be here
at the end of the season.All the hard work here we are,
whether it was skill and mostly luckwhatever. Like we're here, both of
us in the top five here hopingto hoping to grind out one hundred and
(03:21):
fifty k over here. You've saidit before the show too, Like listen,
no one, you know it's it'sa pretty big drop off one hundred
fifty k down to twenty k andafter that, Like, we're not playing
for third, fourth, fifth,but second placet five. But we're not
playing for third, fourth, fifth, man, we're playing for that one
hundred and fifty k or twenty kup top and uh and we're gonna kind
of set our lineups and kind ofdo that accordingly too. So and listen,
(03:44):
the top of the board here isfilled with talented players. Angela Lelas
at the top of the board,yourself, Robert Robert Dingis, who was
Ordingis, who was on our showtwice this year, was on the last
week. Uh and here he isin the top five Kurt Hirsch. So
everyone here knows what they're doing,super super exciting. See Justin Herron up
here a couple of times in thetop to top ten. But but yeah,
(04:09):
man, it's gonna be a funweekend. I've been texting with a
couple of guys here that are inthe top ten and someone said, hey,
you know, because half my team. But we'll get into our teams
here in a second. But alot of my team plays Saturday night.
A lot of my horses they're playingthat Lions Cowboys game. And it's like,
man, I might know Saturday nightif it's over or not right,
if my guys don't perform, youget an injury, if that's it.
(04:32):
Yeah, no, look, nodoubt you can make the argument that Tomorrow
night is riding for me. I'mbig on bris Hall. I've got a
Marii Cooper. So the Thursday nightgame is going to give me, you
know, for better or worse,a pretty good feeling of what's what's going
to transpire over the weekend as well. Yeah, oh yeah, for sure,
that's right that Thursday night, BradStalder in the chat much. Hey,
(04:56):
we'll love you too, Brad,one of the best in the business.
Mary Christmas to you, my friend. And so yeah, that Thursday
night Game two. I think Ihave Breese Haaul on this team as well.
So that's going to be interesting tosee. It's good to see,
like you know, you're doing thesame thing I'm doing. We're looking at
the top five, top ten,who's got what players? You know,
just Bristall, there's a good game. Hurt us or kill us. I
(05:17):
think a lot of people have BreezeHalf after last week's performance up here in
the time, A lot of AmarkCooper last week, right, I mean
that's right, you had that combination. It sets you up to be competitive
for sure, for sure, andso we'll get into that. You and
Daniel here in the Chad asked thequestion, how do you feel about Amari
Cooper? This is for you,uh, going against the Jets. D
(05:39):
this week popped off. Now he'sgot the injury, a heel questionable,
but outside of the heel, becausewe won't really know until tomorrow, how
you're feeling about Cooper kind of inthis matchup. You can't really love it,
So I'm not really too worried aboutthe heel situation. Sure at this
point, like I'd be shocked ifhe doesn't play. You can't love the
(06:00):
matchup though against Sauce Gardner and theJets secondary, so you know, the
one thing he does have going forhim, I expect Flacco to just kill
him with target after target after targetthough, with him and the tight end
there knows Uku or how you pronouncedhis last name, Yeah, Southerners can't
pronounce that. But look, youdefinitely don't like his matchup. But if
(06:23):
he's on your roster, you're notYou're not sitting him. I mean,
if you're watching this show tonight,you've got a Mark Cooper on your team,
Like, you're not benching for NoahBrown or somebody like that. It's
just not happening. So at thispoint you're rolling with your studs for better
or for worse. Matchup wise,Yeah, no, I I completely agree.
You got to kind of go withthe guys this week. You know,
(06:44):
you know, we're always looking forkind of leverage plays and stuff to
maybe play off off of each other, but this week, like a little
like like you said, sometimes withthe injuries and all that, you don't
really have a lot of options,uh Google going forward here, and so
I'm going to actually share your teamhere, going to kind of break it
down. You know, we gotsome questions in the chat, like like
(07:04):
other options and stuff stuff like that. But so here here, here's your
squad. You've got, this isyour you know guys you got in so
far Stafford Singletary, Bress Hall,Javonta Williams, Mike Ivin, studd Amari
Cooper, Ceedee Lamb, Wattle,Schaltz, Eagles, Bangles. So I'm
looking. I've got Bressee Hall,I've got Ceedee Lamb, I've got Jaylen
(07:25):
Wattle. Obviously that decision might bemade for us if he does if he
doesn't suit up, but it's ahigher ankle sprain. They downplayed it today.
I think at best Wattle is ismaybe thirty percent chance of playing.
But even then, do you trusthim if you've got somebody else that you
feel like could at least give youten to twelve fourteen points. You know,
(07:48):
that's where these decisions really come in, Like do you feel better about
a Nijie Hairs scoring a touchdown orfor me, Noah Brown. I love
the matchup that the Texans have thisweekend against Tennessee. I think the Texans
are going to put up a lotof points this weekend getting stroud backs.
So I actually feel like Devin Singletaryis a strong play this weekend. Just
(08:13):
personal favorite, kind of under theradar type guy. He's a guy that
I'm probably gonna play everywhere. I'vegotten him. Yeah, and uh they're
still and then in the playoff hunt, right, so that they have a
reason to get him back. Yougot to win. They have to win.
Yeah, and then exactly so you'vegot options there. Yeah, you've
got the Najee Harris, like yousaid, you've got you know, you've
(08:33):
got a nice You've got some nicedepth here, Danny. So it gives
you kind of an opportunity. It'sscary because it gives you decisions that you
don't like. Sometimes it's nice tonot have decisions, right, Like,
Okay, but I think that's whatyou know. This league is kind of
built on that quality of depth.Right Whenever you've got to play you know,
two running backs, three wide receiversand then two flex plays, like
(08:54):
you've got to create some depth throughwaiver wires. Or you just got to
draft extremely well. Yeah, no, exactly so and a couple of good
points Scott. Scott brings up thisweek too, is in the chat our
not on our team necessarily, butyou know, AJ Brown declined to be
interviewed. This might be a getright game for him. We saw that
earlier in the season, right,Squeaky Wheel pissed off, he comes out
(09:18):
smashes the following week. He's beenkind of quiet recently. What are your
thoughts on like AJ Brown and theEagles offenses? I mean he hasn't been
pissed off the last couple of weeks. Yeah, I mean, right,
doesn't look great to me right now? I mean, could they get a
bounce back game without a doubt?Yeah? And AJ Brown is a stud
across the board. They're gonna getit figured out. Does it happen this
(09:39):
week? I don't know. Youknow, is it Devonte Smith? I
mean he's looked great with the ballin his hands the last few weeks as
well. So Goddard's finally healthy.You know, he's getting a significant amount
of targets. But yes, toScott's point, AJ Brown is due for
a huge monster game, right,Like he's due for a twenty eight thirty
(10:00):
two type point game. Yep,does it come this weekend? I don't
know, but that team has waytoo much talent on offense to continue to
delay duds like they have. Iknow, I know, Danny's another question
to chat here. You know,ceiling love ceiling guys like Cooper. Would
you start any of these guys overCooper? Hubbard, Singletary, Chandler h
(10:20):
Chan. Would you start any ofthem over Cooper? I don't know what
the format is, probably this thisformat, but I definitely wouldn't start Hubbard
or Singletary. Yeah, I meanyou can't start No, I mean just
I couldn't. I mean again,it goes back to if I'm gonna lose,
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna losewith my studs playing, Yeah,
right now. I mean, look, look at the last four to five
(10:43):
weeks of what Cooper has done withFlacco's quarterback. I mean, look,
I know, I mean, look, those guys are hot, They've got
chemistry. Look, I'm not takingone of those rbs over over Cooper.
I'm rolling with him this weekend,unless all of a sudden he's inactive an
hour and a half before kickoff,then we pitched it. But until Adams,
(11:05):
I'm firing him up. The interestingthing is too, and again,
listen, I know we're all competingin this together, but everyone up here
smart and they know what they're doing, and they've thought all this stuff out.
So the stuff that we're saying isn'tgonna put anybody who's up here off
their game. The only reason youmight get off of Cooper is because the
matchup isn't amazing. And maybe ifyou're in fifteenth or twenty it maybe maybe
you're leveraging and you have Cooper whileeveryone else how he's gonna start Cooper.
(11:28):
Maybe I'll throw an eight chan andhope for that twenty five point game and
leap frogs and Cooper too. Sothere are different because, like you said,
Danny, we're not playing for You'vegot to have really great depth,
right correct, start considering bench inCooper. Yeah, you've got to have
a couple of really good options thatyou like on the bench with really strong
(11:48):
plus strong matchups. Yeah, likeyou've got to have a combination of all
the above. Yeah. Because now, if Cooper had been struggling over the
last couple of weeks, right thenI would be like, all right,
I can get it. But Imean the guys been putting up what eighteen
plus points over the last five orsix weeks pretty consistently. I don't know
how you bench that, even evenwith a slightly down matchup. You know,
(12:13):
look, I'm always gonna roll withmy studs. I mean it was
my third round draft pick third.Yeah, I have to go back and
look, but I mean, yeah, like I was kind of saying,
the only the only reason you justkind of have to throw out any fantasy
analysis for this game. The onlyreason you would kind of bench Amarray Cooper
(12:35):
is if you were in like fifteenthor twentieth and you're trying to just say,
hey, listen, I don't careabout fifteenth place or tenth or twentieth
or seventh. I't first, Igot a lead PROG fifteen teams. I
got a bench Cooper. I gota bench Cooper just because hopefully everyone had
any starts him. I start anotherguy like you said, you got to
have a guy that can get youtwenty or twenty five. Yeah, I
mean, look, if you're tryingto throw a hell Mary right like,
(12:58):
and I'll use the New York asan example, right, now, Like
quite frankly, I think Tyrod Taylorgives a significant more upside to that wide
receiver corps this upcoming week, whetherit's Jalen Hyatt, Wandale Robinson, Darius
Slayton, et cetera. Like ifyou're looking at one of those guys that
looks Slayton looks like a guy thathe could put up eighteen to twenty points
on a whim, you know,high upside type guy. But I'm still
(13:24):
look, I'm still rolling Marti Cooperover any of those high upside guys.
But I get where you're going becausebecause so so here, this is a
team I have in nineteenth place,and I look at it, I say,
okay, like it's got a lotof different players from what you have,
but I've got a Singletary here,right, Like, well, if
Singletary goes off and you're a hutof meet with Singletary, that doesn't help
(13:46):
me at all, Right I maybeI maybe I slide in like a I
don't even I haven't even gone overthe lineups yet, to be honest with
you, But maybe I get stupidand throw like a AJ you know,
something like that where you're like,listen, if Singletary goes off. I
have to look at see how manyteams ahead of me have have had Singletary.
Yeah. So if you scroll downthough, I think I say saw
kJ Osborne. I mean, look, Jordan Adison out TJ Hockinson out.
(14:09):
Yeah, Look, that guy's maybe worth a throw, a dark throw,
right, just because of the matchupopportunity. You know, look,
you're not crazy about the QB situationthere, but again opportunity, lack of
targets not going to Hockinson now,not going to Addison. If he's out,
there's there's gonna be more targets thatflow his way. You gotta think
(14:31):
Jefferson is going to be double coveredthe entire game. Yeah, so that
could free up somebody like him.Yeah. And he's another thing too,
This is this was a team thatwhere I ended up going kind of bully
tight end. I mean I tookKittle. I didn't take him early because
you don't have to take tight endsearly at the FFWC. But I took
him as a top you know,five or six tight end. And I
came back with Laporta, and I'vejust been rolling with the both of them,
(14:52):
especially in the tournament, right,because I could probably look it up.
They have the stat track round here, which is which is great,
but there probably aren't that many LAto Kittle teams out there, right,
So that's been and they've been smashingfor me. It's it's been great,
you know. And Laporta has beenone of those guys where you probably got
him somewhere around the thirteenth righteenth round. And I mean, that guy at
(15:13):
that price target has just been amazing. I've got him on a ton of
dynasty leagues. I'm not sure I'vegot him on one main event team though,
So kudos to you because he's playedlights out this year. And I
gotta be honest with you, Ithis is where you know, everyone listening
and everyone out there and you knowthis, Danny. People need to be
(15:33):
constantly evolving and constantly evaluating the game. That's actually I'm glad you brought that
up. That's one of my probablymy favorite calls for myself this year.
I was always, always, always, never take a rookie tight end.
That was my thing, like whoit is? You know, the best
performances from a rookie tight end arestill below average tight end numbers I think
(15:58):
coming into this year the best finishwas somewhere around seventeenth or eighteen, correct,
Yes, yeah, like you neededeither a Kyle Pitts season or something
creaz like the top like Mike Dikostill has like the only few like the
tight end from the fifties. Itwas like one of the best tight end
seasons ever. But this season youkind of saw maybe like a shift and
their coach is a tight form formertight end and so I was really in
(16:21):
on the porta quite a bit,going against one of my number one rules,
and so everyone just has to bewilling to just kind of adjust.
The game's changing so quickly, andso it's super interesting to see, uh,
to see how that stuff happens.Yeah, I mean, look,
not just him, but I meanMichael Myers at Oakland has had a pretty
solid year. Muskrave at Green Bayhad had some solid weeks prior to his
(16:45):
injuries. So that rookie tight endclasses, you're going to hear from them
for years to come, for sure. For sure, They've got a cool
question from justin David Montgomery versus Dallasor raheem most stared banged up, Yes,
banged up. He has to putthe caveat in there against Baltimore.
The Wasten motion has been banged upall year, and they keep running them
(17:08):
out there ahead of David Ashane.And that's where I go back to Man
is like, Okay, he's bangedup, but obviously the coaching staff trusts
him more than they do right now. The rookie running back. And look,
if we're talking about next year,yeah we'll give me the rookie running
back. But I'm riding most ofthis week. You know Montgomery, Yeah,
(17:32):
that's gonna be a high scoring game. But you can just see Jamir
Gibbs continuing to get better and better, and they're using him more once they
get inside the twenty. You know, last week he had a couple of
big runs, I know, onefor a touchdown. He may have had
two rushing touchdowns last week. Butit looks like they're getting more and more
confident with Gibbs in those situations.So for me, if it was my
(17:53):
decision, I would go most eventhough look, I know Baltimore's got a
great defense. I just think hecould be relied on more this week as
well. If if Wattle's hurt.You look at that Baltimore secondary, they're
pretty solid as well, so that'sjust my opinion though. Yeah, I
(18:15):
have him right next to each otherliterally in my in my rankings. And
this is if we're talking about theFFWC here justin like the actual tournament or
any tournament really where you can setyour lineup. It's there's the game within
the game here, Like you getyou get a Montgomery on a Saturday night.
Now he gives you more information,right like if you if Montgomery smashes,
(18:37):
now you can adjust your lineup.You don't maybe you don't have to
get crazy with that last flex position, you know, or if he doesn't
have he has a dud. Okay, now I gotta go with kind of
the risk your more upside play onSunday. It gives you that type of
information too. If it's if it'sa coin flip, I think that there's
Yeah, this is I think thisis a pure point flip because what you
end up having is Moster has atough defense that he's going against, but
(19:00):
he's also chasing you know, somerecord books here man, and he's got
twenty touchdowns like they love them downat the goal line. They use them
a lot down there. Whereas Montgomery, like you said, I think Montgomery's
starting to wear down a little bit. They're starting to see I mean most
of it is too, but they'restarting to they trust Gibbs get Montgomery starts
the game, if the old warhorse he starts the game, gets the
first drive, and then you juststart to see Gibbs going there and just
(19:22):
smash, Like I honestly would wantto see the rest of his lineup as
well, Like what else do youhave matchup wise? What's your wide receivers
look like? I mean, look, that's a pretty damn good situation on
a potential RB two where you're,you know, making the decision between you
know, Moster or David Montgomery.That's a solid, pretty solid position to
(19:45):
be in. Yeah, he says, it's other options Jonathan Taylor. I'm
assuming Taylor's starting. If Taylor's notstarting, he I would definitely start JT
over both of them, without adoubt, with Moss being out with that
backfield the way it is right now, Yeah, totally agree for sure.
For sure. I would definitely likethat three headed monster. That's beautiful situation
to be in. So here's myhere's my team that's in that, that's
(20:08):
in fifth, that's Chase chasing you. I got a couple of similar players.
You have Gibbs as well on yourtime, So it's Breeze, we
have Breese Hall. Similar we've gotis that it bree and Wattle right now?
I have Wattle on my bench.You have Wattle in your starting spot.
So yeah, I mean, look, I mean more than likely.
I'd be really surprised if I'm playingWattle this weekend. Sure you just yeah,
(20:33):
you're hoping? Yeah, yeah.And it's funny too, Like I'm
looking like I've got two defenses Packersand Rams, And to me it's kind
of a coin flip there as aswell. And I'm thinking, like,
man, should I You know?Crazy thing too, Danny. This year
is no Monday night game. Normallywe're sweating this out for twenty four hours
after like who's gonna win? Youknow all that type of stuff. Now,
(20:55):
dude, it's gonna be like anF one race on Sunday. Just
fly out Sunday morning for Pasadena forthe Alabama Michigan game. Oh yeah,
I mean that sounds fun. Areyou? Who's your team? I'm an
Alabama fan. There you go,there you go listen. Uh, this
isn't a college podcast but I'm nota huge college guy, but I think
(21:19):
Michigan drew the short straw on thatbecause Bam I think matches up beautifully against
against Michigan. So yeah, ittypically when Alabama loses, you're beating them
with the pass, right bullying andhas the outside talent to beat him with
the pass. But look, younever know. Yeah, yeah, no
(21:40):
for sure for sure. But yeah, so I'm thinking about what the defense
is like if it's a true coinflip to me on these I want to
see like some of the some startingquarterback stuff and whatever that I think I'm
probably leaning leaning Rams, but I'mlike, man, if it's not too
much of a difference, do Iplay the Packers just to have that,
like, hey, if I'm losingeven by twenty, you know, I
have the maybe they would get adefensive touchdown. I get to watch it
(22:03):
live instead of being it being overfor me and just sitting knowing that I'm
not at first, just a coupleof different just mental games you play,
you play with yourself. But butyeah, unfortunately I don't have the bench
that you do on my on myteam that's in fit, like Tillman's unstartable,
you know, you got. Ihave a lot of running backs that
are counting on an injury to getto get played. Tray Sermon, Jeffrey
(22:27):
Wilson, you have Brian Robinson aswell. I think I have Brian Robinson.
I expect him to be dead thisweekend too, and even if he
was active, you can really trusthim against the Donners defense. And then
after Rodriguez this game last weekend,maybe they want to give him a better
look, but yep, he wouldbe hard to trust. Yeah, yeah,
So it's just gonna be It's gonnabe like a super super fun weekend
(22:51):
here for for for sure. Andbefore we move on, guys, this
isn't like this is like the bestweekend yere, but this isn't like the
only weekend that we have for therest of the season. The FFWC Playoff
Challenge. I don't know if youdid that last year, Danny year.
For like, it's a super coolunique format similar to Underdog with the draft
(23:11):
process and you draft these guys,but the thing that the difference is you
carry your points throughout the entire postseason, so you can draft al players
from one team and if they goout in the semi finals, but you
put up enough points, you canstill win the whole thing for both points
carry through. I don't know whatdo you do any different strategies you can
(23:32):
come in in those types of formats, man, And that's what makes it
fun, because if you enter sevenor eight of them, like you can
implement you know, half and halfstrategic wise, or even have different strategies
for each team. So those thosepostseason playoff leagues are a lot of fun.
Yeah, it's fun, and itgives you the ability to, like
you know, try to make somemoney back if you lost, or roll
(23:53):
some of the winnings over into thatstuff. And again there's sixteen drafts six
and it's serpentine style, same thing. And man, you get in there,
you have a chance to win somegood money. And like you said,
there are different formats. I suggestpeople play all the different formats out
there. Obviously I love the FFWCpartial to it, think it, think
it's great Scott and he can doa great job with that. But get
(24:15):
a little bit of everything, man, because like you said, there's the
underdogs are good. But but I'mpartial to These are quick drafts too.
You're done in like you know,fifteen minutes or so live live drafts with
people in the in the room.So Roy does a good job running those
and still yeah, no, Ithink it's Roy. Roy's the man.
Listen, he's in there. He'she's the man about a grinder. Man,
(24:37):
Listen, he's always he loves it. Yeah. I liked were you
out in Vegas this year, Danny. I didn't make it this year.
I did everything online, but I'vebeen out there several times. Yeah,
it's Roy's out there. Everybody's outthere. It's the best. Now they
got the commitment with Circa for fivemore at least five more years. Man,
Circa was incredible. I feel likeI talk about it with every guest
(24:59):
that comes out here. Man,and the ability they got the pool party
and the sports books insane, andthat that place looked pretty remarkable, dude.
It was Now it's it's it's offthe strip. But that's what dude.
The free Fremont Street is bananas,Like it's my first time down there.
The people watching, uh, theactual the sports books two floors,
(25:22):
it's the spread. This to beone of the nicest sportsbooks there anywhere,
hundred hundred percent. And I've gotto there's some sportsbooks that are pretty terrible
at Vegas, but believe it ornot, what would they've been. They
haven't changed for twenty years. That'strue. That is true. I mean
if you look at Caesar's win,I mean it's literally the exact same place
that it's been for twenty plus years. Yeah, and there's stadium seating,
(25:45):
tier two, at the at theat the sports book at stadium seating,
and they've got two levels. It'sjust it's the best. And I've done
them all, guys, I've doneall the different ones out there. This
one is by far the best.And the drafting experience at Top Golf that
was super fun, like Scott's makingfunny, Like, dude, you're golfing
in between picks. I'm like,listen, I'm in draft number one thousand
for the year, right if Idon't know what I'm doing by by now,
(26:07):
and I think that team wasn't firstplace for a while. But uh
but yeah no, you got tocome to circle next year. Danny.
It'snk me so much fun. I'min love it, mixing little golf at
Southern Hollands while I'm out there too, great big golfer, you're like Top
Golf. I don't got time forthat, for that, for that none
sense. But but yeah, sowe can talk about a couple. Guy,
(26:30):
I don't know if you have Iknow you do a ton of teams
and stuff like that. Did youhave any Stefan Diggs, because man,
he same thing last year, Dude, Stefan Diggs got you to the dance.
I remember him and Devanta Adams weregoing on heavily at the one two
turn last year. Then they getto the fantasy class and they just die.
Stefan Diggs another one. He's goingon. You know, we had
nine point two fantasy points last week. He's going on like five straight,
(26:52):
six straight weeks outside the top twelvewed suver finishes forty six, forty six,
forty five, thirty six, likeunstartable weeks. Yeah, where he
was drafted, I don't have onesingle share of Stefan Diggs on any team
interesting at all? Well was going. I just didn't like that situation at
all. Okay, all little personalityas well, which I know probably shouldn't
(27:15):
influence your decision making, but forme, it does. Okay at points,
so you know, in a lotof drafts he was going at one
six, one seven and that's thatwas a little too rich for me.
Yeah. The only reason, yeah, I definitely was not taking one six,
one seven. I don't have aton of digs either. But the
(27:37):
only reason maybe you take him upthere is is to make a unique lineup
that no one else really has.Like I know, I had a line
up Jack and I have had alineup that was in the top ten all
year in this it faded naturally.It's in like the sixties now, but
it was an it was the onlyAman Ross, Saint Brown, Keenan Allen
team. And that's because he tookon ride like this is five hole or
(27:59):
something to try to get unique.So you can do that's a good thing
about tournaments. When you do enoughteams you can get unique like that.
But yeah, Diggs has fallen off. I mean he's getting a lot of
it. He's still getting thirty pluspercent target share, but they're not passing
it near as much. Like thegame. It's the Cowboys. They didn't
throw at all last with the routes. He's running like everything is close to
the line of scrimmage. They're notreally focused on downfield roads with him right
(28:22):
now. It's there's just a there'snot a lot to like with him right
now for sure. Now again,it goes back to what Scott was talking
about earlier with aj Brown, rightlike, eventually they're too talented to not
have some sort of breakout game,but they definitely aren't trending in the right
direction. The same thing could besaid with you know, the Kansas City
(28:44):
Chiefs. So there's several offenses rightnow that are just kind of sputtering along
here at the end of the year, sputtering for sure. Speaking of sputtering,
we got a question here in thechat from Michael question about Tony Pollard
or Votcha Williams. Pollard to mehas been an absolutely true bust. I
say true bust because he didn't it'sinjury related. He's been not good.
(29:08):
They haven't used him like a workhorsein a while because he hasn't been good.
What are your thoughts on Pollard.I'm still leaning Pollard based on those
two because if you look at JavonteWilliams, they're changing their quarterback. But
also, I mean, look lookat how much time Julia McLaughlin's been playing
lately. Some i JP Ron isstill getting some third down looks and some
(29:36):
third down play like, Look,I've got Davonte Williams right now in my
starting lineup. He's one that Icould easily move out of there and place
somebody else, Like, I don'tparticularly love what's going on with him right
now. Did he get some golon carriers last week? Yes, But
if you look at his percentage andplace percentage of place he was on the
field, it doesn't give you awarm fuzzy feeling. So I at least
(29:59):
know Pollard is gonna be on thefield with the potential to catch four to
five passes and then potential to breaka long one. With Javonte Williams,
man, you don't know what you'regonna get with that offense this week,
not with Jared Stidham, for Christ'ssake, Sinder, I mean, I
watched that guy play at Auburn foryears, and I mean, let's be
(30:22):
honest that that doesn't give me awarm and fuzzy no, for sure.
For sure. The only thing Javontamight again, they might lean on in
that run game. Without set upthere, they play a much easier right,
But it is at him, Imean it's right, he's like he
got twenty carries last week. Right. I mean he had what maybe twelve,
and then Jalil had eight or nine. I think p Ryan I don't
(30:45):
know if he even had a carry, but I know p Ryan I think
had two or three catches. So, you know, he just hasn't been
that workhorse back that I think weall hoped he would be by the end
of the year. You expected himto start off slow with the injury,
but I think by this time youwere hoping he would be kind of that
Briefs Hall right, like he wasgetting eighty percent of the snap count like
(31:07):
brief is right. Now, that'sjust not happening. Yeah, no,
I I could I completely agree,completely agree from that from that perspective for
sure. But uh but yeah,I mean there's you like to play kind
of Devil's advocate. What all isthere? All this stuff people are thinking
through Pollard, like you said,probably can have a bad game and fall
into the end zone for two touchdownsbecause the offense is good enough, like
you said, to get him downthere and and and do that type of
(31:33):
thing. Yeah. Look, ifI needed, if I needed one of
those two guys to come to hitfor eighteen plus points, who am I
going with? Right? Exactly?No, I agree, you're you're going
with here. I gotta feel likePollard is gonna have a significantly more upside
than what Williams is going to giveme this week. Yep, all,
let's get to go with Angelo's team. Angel's been on the show before doing
(31:55):
doing really well this year. He'sgot the number one team right now.
He's got a is he over youtwenty one over you? Uh? Which
which you can you can make up? You know, He's got McCaffrey.
That's that's the thing. He's gotthat twenty five he does. Man.
Yeah, I mean, look withLamar and Christian, you like the floor
(32:15):
that you've got right there, youknow, from the get go. I
think why he hit a home runlast week, I would expect some a
little bit of regression this week forhim. But look, I mean he's
got a lot of a lot ofgreat you know, depth there as well.
I think he's he's playing Jacobe Myersthis week, right so, I
(32:36):
think he took out Jalen Wattle already, So he's got some options down there
at the bench. You know,he's got some pretty good depth there as
well. He's got options. Yeah, you know, I don't know about
Jay Jones coming back this week,or if Trevor Lawrence is going to be
playing, et cetera. So there'syou know, that may not be a
situation. Quentin Johnson, No,you know, I think Look, Roshawn
(32:59):
Johnson is still an interesting name.I mean, he's getting a lot of
run. Yeah, I could seehim as a potential flex play. And
it's interesting here too. I mean, I mean, listen, I've got
Rochan. Roshan is with it withthe running back, could coming back Forman.
Roshan's probably a zero. And Idon't mean actually zero, but probably
(33:20):
a zero. If Jalen Wade doesn'tplays, probably did he practice today?
He was a full full practice today. Yeah. Yeah, So that's that'stering
about that. So it's like nota ton Yarroger on the bench. He's
got And then listen, I'm justbeing matter of fact. I'm not saying,
you know, obviously not a badteam. He's in first place.
But Tucker Kraft, Isaiah likely RahidShaheed, He's got some some some low
(33:44):
floor player Jacoby Meyer is some verylow floor players on this team that that
you I whoever else can nick upsome some ground. If Widdle that doesn't
play, yeah, I'm probably playingat Justin Watson before I I played Tucker
Croft. But that's just me relyingon a little bit more of a who
(34:06):
I feel I trust more with PatrickMahomes going up against They've got a good
matchup this week against the Bengals,right, I mean the biggest, Like
they just rolled over and freaking quitlast week. So you know, t
Higgins coming or you know what's hiswhat's he gonna do this week? With
Jamar Chase looking like he's probably gonnaplay too. He's been target monster the
(34:27):
last couple of weeks, so isthat change you know, the dynamic for
him? So yeah, it'll beinteresting unexpected this Sunday. You just ye,
I can easily see a team thatmaybe didn't have a strong week last
week, that's in the twenties andthirties. Could they find a way to
be under plus this week and allof a sudden they're back in it?
(34:49):
That's right? No, completely agree. So that guy said, yeah,
if Chase comes back, Yeah Higgins, I mean, Higgins was a target
monster that last week. He wasawesome. I've got him at my nineteenth
place team. So but yeah,but you gotta love Lamar Jackson and Christian
McCaffrey as kind of your floor.Well, I was gonna I was just
gonna bring up Lamar. So Icame in fifth place in the FFPC main
(35:13):
event nine twenty nineteen. That wasthe Lamar CMC year. They were my
horses on that team. Christian McCaffreyis almost that same guy. Lamar's only
got twenty touchdowns this year. Imean, I've got Lamar everywhere. He
just I feel like he doesn't getthose easy Jalen Hurts fall In, Josh
Allen fall In touchdowns. They're allthe Gus Edwards. So I feel like
(35:37):
he really needs. You know,he loses Mark, Mark Andrews. I
feel like, I like, who'syour QB. I'm sorry, I don't
remember. So I've got Matthew Staffordbecause I lost Trevor Lawrence, I lost
Kirk Cousins. Those were kind ofmy two late guys that I had.
Yeah, I had to go,you know, Matthew Stafford, and he's
(35:58):
been great the last couple of weeks. Yeah, and look, I think
this this week he's gonna give metwenty two to twenty four. He's gonna
throw for two or three touchdowns againstthe Giants, but you at least feel
like Lamar his floor is going tobe somewhere around that twenty two to twenty
four mark as well, with hisrushing advantage that he's going to give you.
So I love look. I mean, you would think that is a
(36:20):
high scoring of affair them and theDolphins. So I like Lamar this week.
I like the likely matchup as well, So you know, I think
that could be a good combo.Yeah. Yeah, my team, my
top five team here is a JelenHurts team, so that like I Hurts
against Arizona Chops. Oh, thatcould be an absolute blow shootout, not
(36:45):
a shootout, but actually blow up. Spot there. Let's look at team
team too here. How do youthere's another Labar team. You know you're
against Lamar this week? Big taldoubt about it, that's right, you
know. Then they got the air. But this is this is another different
The cool thing Danny about th thislast week where there was like six guys
that went off for thirty five pluspoints. Normally at this point in the
(37:07):
year, you've got like two orthree guys that are on everybody in the
top ten. But with the waythat this last week, but the Amari
Cooper, the Pooka, the BreezeHall, the Gid, like there was
a Mike E like a huge year, but he had another big weeks that's
right. So and the cool thingabout kurtz Tein too, He's got Tyreek
(37:28):
Hill right where Tyrek did. Hilldidn't even play two weeks ago, so
a lot of teams and he didn'tgo crazy last week either, so a
lot of teams up here might noteven have Tyreek Hill. So he's got
a little bit of an advantage there. But you see, like Miarn Jones,
James Cook, like a lot ofguys, you know, Mingo,
that's unfortunate. I mean, I'msure you know he's got Cooper currently on
(37:50):
the bench, right, Yeah,he's being slick that far. Yet there's
no way he's playing John and Mingoover Cooper, right right, right,
unless he's trying to be different,unless he's trying to be Chandler. Yeah,
yeah, but you know in thetwo spot, look, I've got
Jonathan Mingo on my team, andlike I don't know, with DJ Shark
(38:13):
back and Adam Thielen and you know, Shark looks finally healthy. He's been
injured the majority of the year.Right to to lean on Mingo in that
situation. I mean that that wouldbe a set of who he's right there,
and to choose Mingo over Cooper oryou know, even Ty Chandler.
I think I saw him on hisbench as well. So U Chandler is
(38:37):
gonna get fed. Yeah, yeah, you look at it. Last week's
it's Cooper, it's Chandler. It'sall listen, Kurtin and we were doing
this show with you gets slick andjust changes the roster. But listen,
you gotta you gotta do stuff likethat this this this time. And look,
he's got a little bit of awild card there with Jalen Warren as
well. You know, I wouldn'tbe surprised if somebody was to play Jalen
(38:57):
Warren this week. Nag, he'sa little banged up. You know,
Steelers have to continue to win ifthey're going to make the playoffs. So
yeah, you could do a lotworse than Jalen Warren as a as a
second flex. Yeah. And RobertGross here in the chat wants to wants
us to uh to talk about histeam. I'd be happy to here.
It is again almost a whole differentteam here. Kamara moster chew ball.
(39:21):
Lockett is keenan Allen back this week. I haven't no, I think he's
going to be out again, Okay, I mean why play him and their
season is done? But Alan Higgins, Jay Jatta, I love this team
sitting in sixth again, so manylive players that are awesome. All these
guys could smash. This could bea two hundred point team this week,
(39:43):
you know what I mean? Imean, look, I love the Seahawks
matchup this week too, you know. So yeah, Lockett's one of those
big play guys, right, Imean you could see him catch four balls
for one hundred and twenty in atouchdown. I mean, and that that's
kind of how that guy rolls.So he could easily, you know,
(40:04):
go off. You know, ifyou look at his bench, you know,
Brandon Cooks had a three or fourweeks stretch there where he was lights
out wide receiver two and he's comeback to earth the last two to three
weeks. So you know, ashe do for a bounce back game,
did the lines try and just takeCity Lamb completely out of the game,
which would open up opportunities for him? Look a lot of things to consider,
(40:27):
because I don't think keenan Allen isgoing to play, so that's going
to take a spot there. Sothen the decision does do you feel really
good about Chubb you know Hubbard withthe Panthers, or do you like a
Brandon Cooks as a potential back bounceback? Is that you Kobe Meyers down
there too? I mean, look, yeah, he's got a lot of
options. Like, I really likethis team. It wouldn't surprise me one
(40:50):
bit if this team was the wasthe winner winner. How far back he
could be? That far back?He's right behind me, maybe thirty points,
thirty three points. I mean youcan you can overcome that, Usten
I like. I mean he's onlyfour points behind me, so that they're
basically even. I like his chancesdefinitely better than I like my chances.
(41:10):
I mean, to get a JayJetta team this this far is awesome.
I mean, granted he was jJefferson was awesome last week. But like
I said, if I'm me lookingat this team, I'm like, God,
I hope Chase plays. I hopeKenanellen doesn't play, you know what
I mean? Like, because I'mjust because this team could be two hundred.
Look at Kamara. I mean that'sright easily. I don't know that
(41:32):
I've seen Kamara on any team thatI've looked at really up and down as
a name that's been there frequently.So but he could be nine catches.
I mean, he's the that canput up twenty five to thirty points in
a given week. So yeah,so I'm super annoyed that I wish you
see Robert gros He was being Okay, what do you what do you think
(41:54):
about my hurts? Is this quarterbackus? Yeah? Yeah, I don't
want to go through a look atall these teams are going to find up.
My team's freaking dead before. Butthat's why Saturday Night to me,
man again with night with night LikeSaturday Night to me, dude is like
Jamier Gibbs ceedee lamb uh, SamLaporto, Like I need a monster night
(42:17):
out of that Breese Hall too,Like not everybody has Breeze Hall right,
Like you've got him, I've gothim. One's got him. I'll take
a big You know, we're lookingfor ten catches in this game right from
Briese Hall honestly, Like I thinkthat's going to be the play, right,
I mean, you know, theCleveland secondary is going to match up.
I expect them to take Garrett Wilson, you know, completely out of
that game for the most part,so you can easily see check Down City
(42:40):
to bres Hall all night tomorrow night. But you know, look, it's
going to be interesting, right Liketo your point, I will know whether
or not I have a chance onSunday by by Saturday night, by the
end of the Lions Cowboys game.Yeah, Cooper, I've got bris Hall,
I've got CD So, I meanthose are kind of my three big
(43:02):
horses right there. So you know, yeah, we'll know, we'll know
if we're in it at all bythe nsatday night, because like you said,
I'll have four guys gone by theend of Saturday night. So but
listen, dude, it's so muchfun. I've got a lot of guys
that I do this stuff with.High stakes community up here in Western New
York is gigantic. I mean,there's so many people that work for so
(43:24):
many companies and the high stakes uhsuperstars. I got a lot of them
coming over on Saturday night because we'vegot a lot of guys going, We're
gonna we're gonna eat some good foodand drink some good drinks and just hope
for the best and hopefully it's amemorable night, and it'll be it'll be
super super fun. Do you haveany other I know we've been going here
for forty three minutes or so.Do you have any other teams anywhere that
(43:45):
are sweating? You got any otherplayers or any other situations that you're looking
looking forward to. I've got anotherteam that I think is twenty or twenty
second. You know that one's gotKeenan Allen, and you know that team's
gone through a lot of injuries thelast few weeks as well. Christian Kirk
Keenan Allen's out. I mean,I think I may even be down to
(44:09):
Darnell Mooney, who's probably not goingto be playing this weekend either. So
it's just been decimated by injuries.But if you look at if you think
about matchups this week, man,like, look, I'm firing up a
lot of Texans this week, man, I will tell you that right now.
I love their matchup against the Titans. I think they are going to
(44:30):
put up twenty eight to thirty onepoints on that defense that does not have
Jeffrey Simmons anymore. So their successacceptable to the run. I love Devin
Singletary this week as a potential ifI'm looking for a guy that I think
could break out on my roster thatwould be a difference maker that a lot
of other teams won't have. He'sa guy that will probably surprise that I'm
(44:54):
high on this week. Yeah,dude, And I'm looking at this team
again here we have a time,but any of these guys, I mean
Singletary, but like Stafford, HenryFord, Connor, Tyreek, Sutton,
Pickens and joke like, there's againall these live play man, that's all
you want to get down here thistime? You want live players. So
(45:15):
you know you're not like, hey, I'm down by thirty and you have
the same players except for two,right, and you just see dead at
that point and you're dead at thatpoint. That that's right. So you
know, and you got Kennan Allenhere sitting near Christian Kirk. You know
I lost Kirk as well on ateam. So yeah, I mean,
look, man, injuries are goingto play a factor this week. Does
Courtland Sutton play right that you didn'tpractice this week? Assume Pacheco is going
(45:40):
to be out this week, soyou know there's going to be does somebody
have ch that's on the bench andall of a sudden they're firing him up,
because again to your point, it'sit's somebody that's different or Jerke McKinnon.
Yes, yeah, you know,for whatever reason, Man McKinnon always
seems like he's a guy at theend of the year that just comes out
(46:01):
of nowhere and just wins championships.Well I did that the last two year,
at least last year. No,yeah, the last two years years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, soso so interesting. But yeah,
we're all gonna be kind of like, you know, just locked in and
hopefully, yeah, listen, it'sgonna be so so so much fun.
(46:22):
I just want a week like wehad last week, because I'll tell you
that was super fun with all theplayers going off like every game. It
was just it was exciting. Itwas fun rooting for all these different guys,
you know, when you get downto this point of the year,
to have kind of everyone going offlike I had, kind of chasing here,
kind of gaining at the end.It was. I was in twelfth,
(46:42):
i think, going into Monday nightand it was and I knew I
didn't have any CMC and I'm likeman, I just got to fade a
CMC smash game and we, luckilyyou and I did. I mean,
CMC didn't go nuts and I hadZay flowers and flowers at one of the
best games of the year. Thatwas super exciting. So yeah, I
mean, look, man, likeyou hate to wish an injury or a
twisted ankle or a hamstring pull onanybody, but if it is, like,
(47:07):
I want to see c mc gownon the second play of the game
this upcoming week, and I hopehe's healthy for the playoffs because I'm a
big CMC fan. I think hedoes everything the right way. Stand up,
guy, Uh, I forgot aboutit. I was gonna say it,
but I didn't want to embarrass myselfand I wasn't right, But yeah,
(47:28):
no, thanks, yeah, Imiss you know. Look, you
could fire him up as a asa big RB two for sure this week,
maybe even an RB one given thatopportunity, because you got to think
the checko probably does not play thisweek. Correct, Yeah no, I
don't think. I don't think he'sgonna play this week either. I think
it's interesting too, like what playersare you going to need to have?
(47:51):
Like I think Jalen Hurts. It'sgonna and you know, I'm partial,
but you know, listen, they'reall frustrated and they've got to get right
week in Arizona. I think someEagles guys are gonna go absolutely crazy,
and there's gonna be some other teams. The Niners after that big spanking they
just took against Washington that unfortunately theDeebo Samuel Yeah, now you you know
(48:14):
Hidle game with Kittle, it wasit surprised me. Nine Ers put up
thirty five to thirty eight this week, right, right, we just got
to cross our fingers at CMC sitsin the fourth quarter or something or hopefully
listen, this is what I'm tryingto tell myself, the story. You
know, West coast team going Eastcoast for a one pm start. A
(48:35):
lot of times those that that's athing. When when when Vegas goes into
making lines, that's that that isa yeah. So well look there's a
lot of data, right that wouldsupport what you just said, and uh,
not just data, but a longstanding set of data like this isn't
the first year that it's happened,just going on for seventeen years easily,
(48:59):
right, short week too, right, they were. They were Monday night,
so I got they're gonna be pissedoff. But but yeah, you
get, I don't think Trent TrentWilliams might not play got the injury,
like they might start wrestling some guyyou know, not fully resting. But
you know, so it'll be interestingthere to see. But but uh yeah,
hey listen, Danny dude, thanksso much for joining me. Good
(49:21):
luck this is this week. Hopefullyone of us, one of us wins
it or someone else here in thegood luck to yourself as well. It's
gonna be fun no matter what happens, it's gonna be fun, and it's
gonna be you always want to gointo the last week with with just a
fighter's chance, and and that's whatwe've got. And you know, it
could come down to who has theballs to make just maybe a crazy decision
(49:45):
that ends up hitting right, Likeyou know we were talking about Jonathan Mingo,
Like is that of Jonathan Mingo?Is that a Jalen Hyatt of the
Giants? Because I do think TyrodTaylor will will be significantly better for that
offense. Like there's gonna be somebodythat says I'm gonna just pull something right
here and just hope it hits andand it could right it does. That's
(50:07):
all it takes. That's all ittakes. And it's uh yeah for sure,
and I hope that someone wins itthat was uh you know, comes
out to Vegas next year so wecan high five of them and all that
type of stuff. It's such agreat community here at the FFWC, and
I hope to see everyone in thosedraft rooms here for the playoff challenges again.
We'll be in there chat it upand and hopefully building some of those
(50:29):
championship rosters. So thanks everyone fortuning in again. Hit to hit those
likes to subscribe. We'll be doingmore of these and I will have on
this show the winner of of theof the Championship and probably the Circa Las
Vegas Championship is as well. Hopefullyit's Danny again, and but if not,
that's all right. Let's just let'sjust make some money. But we
will see everybody next week. Seemuch everybody appreciate it, Adam, Yes, sir,
Welcome to the Full Time Fantasy Podcast. Please ent it by the Fantasy Football
World Championship, home to the industry'smost accurate rankings. What is up,
(00:50):
everybody? Welcome to the Full TimeFantasy Podcast. I am your host.
Adam Crowerson with me is a newspecial guest for me tonight. Uh.
Danny Gibson on the show tonight.He's got a couple of top teams here
in the FFWC World Championships. Danny, what is going on? My friend?
(01:10):
What's going on? Adam? Appreciateyou having me, man, Let's
talk some football. Let's go listen. It always sounds better when a guy
with a Southern draws is let's talksome football. I feel like we're gonna
talk smash mouth ball right when yougot that that Southern draw. But yeah,
no, it's super super cool tohave you on, and I'm uh,
listen. I'm excited for you beingin the top five of the World
(01:33):
Championship. I'm more excited for mealso being in the top five of the
Fantasy Championship by co on a teamwith Jack cole Sheen, my normal co
host who was not able to tobe on tonight. Hopefully's I would say,
hopefully he's grinding waivers, but there'sno more waivers. But but Danny,
talk to me about your season,right, Where are you playing,
(01:53):
how much are you playing? What'syour what's your go to style here?
Do you like grinding waivers? What'swhat's your thing? Are you? Are
you you a high stakes grinder?Yeah? So I would probably say amongst
all the Vegas type of leagues,whether it be full time f FPC,
just kind of you know, highstakes, I probably have somewhere around fifteen
(02:13):
to twenty teams this year, SoI grind it out just like yourself,
I'm sure, but this is onethat I probably have the most teams in
just because I like the format,I like the strategy element. So you
know that that's been kind of youknow what I've done as far as these
two teams, It's been kind ofa roller coaster, man, which I
(02:35):
feel like this entire fantasy season hasbeen with injuries, you know, quarterback
changes, quarterback injuries. You know, this has been really kind of a
unique year across the board. Soit's been it's been fun, stressful,
a season of high season of lows, and you know we're talking before we
got started, like who the hellknows what's gonna happen this week. I
mean, honestly, with players playingquarterback changes the Russell Wilson News. So
(03:01):
there's a lot of dynamics in playthis weekend. Yeah, dude, it's
but this is what we do.We do it for this to be here
at the end of the season.All the hard work here we are,
whether it was skill and mostly luckwhatever. Like we're here, both of
us in the top five here hopingto hoping to grind out one hundred and
(03:21):
fifty k over here. You've saidit before the show too, Like listen,
no one, you know it's it'sa pretty big drop off one hundred
fifty k down to twenty k andafter that, Like, we're not playing
for third, fourth, fifth,but second placet five. But we're not
playing for third, fourth, fifth, man, we're playing for that one
hundred and fifty k or twenty kup top and uh and we're gonna kind
of set our lineups and kind ofdo that accordingly too. So and listen,
(03:44):
the top of the board here isfilled with talented players. Angela Lelas
at the top of the board,yourself, Robert Robert Dingis, who was
Ordingis, who was on our showtwice this year, was on the last
week. Uh and here he isin the top five Kurt Hirsch. So
everyone here knows what they're doing,super super exciting. See Justin Herron up
here a couple of times in thetop to top ten. But but yeah,
(04:09):
man, it's gonna be a funweekend. I've been texting with a
couple of guys here that are inthe top ten and someone said, hey,
you know, because half my team. But we'll get into our teams
here in a second. But alot of my team plays Saturday night.
A lot of my horses they're playingthat Lions Cowboys game. And it's like,
man, I might know Saturday nightif it's over or not right,
if my guys don't perform, youget an injury, if that's it.
(04:32):
Yeah, no, look, nodoubt you can make the argument that Tomorrow
night is riding for me. I'mbig on bris Hall. I've got a
Marii Cooper. So the Thursday nightgame is going to give me, you
know, for better or worse,a pretty good feeling of what's what's going
to transpire over the weekend as well. Yeah, oh yeah, for sure,
that's right that Thursday night, BradStalder in the chat much. Hey,
(04:56):
we'll love you too, Brad,one of the best in the business.
Mary Christmas to you, my friend. And so yeah, that Thursday
night Game two. I think Ihave Breese Haaul on this team as well.
So that's going to be interesting tosee. It's good to see,
like you know, you're doing thesame thing I'm doing. We're looking at
the top five, top ten,who's got what players? You know,
just Bristall, there's a good game. Hurt us or kill us. I
(05:17):
think a lot of people have BreezeHalf after last week's performance up here in
the time, A lot of AmarkCooper last week, right, I mean
that's right, you had that combination. It sets you up to be competitive
for sure, for sure, andso we'll get into that. You and
Daniel here in the Chad asked thequestion, how do you feel about Amari
Cooper? This is for you,uh, going against the Jets. D
(05:39):
this week popped off. Now he'sgot the injury, a heel questionable,
but outside of the heel, becausewe won't really know until tomorrow, how
you're feeling about Cooper kind of inthis matchup. You can't really love it,
So I'm not really too worried aboutthe heel situation. Sure at this
point, like I'd be shocked ifhe doesn't play. You can't love the
(06:00):
matchup though against Sauce Gardner and theJets secondary, so you know, the
one thing he does have going forhim, I expect Flacco to just kill
him with target after target after targetthough, with him and the tight end
there knows Uku or how you pronouncedhis last name, Yeah, Southerners can't
pronounce that. But look, youdefinitely don't like his matchup. But if
(06:23):
he's on your roster, you're notYou're not sitting him. I mean,
if you're watching this show tonight,you've got a Mark Cooper on your team,
Like, you're not benching for NoahBrown or somebody like that. It's
just not happening. So at thispoint you're rolling with your studs for better
or for worse. Matchup wise,Yeah, no, I I completely agree.
You got to kind of go withthe guys this week. You know,
(06:44):
you know, we're always looking forkind of leverage plays and stuff to
maybe play off off of each other, but this week, like a little
like like you said, sometimes withthe injuries and all that, you don't
really have a lot of options,uh Google going forward here, and so
I'm going to actually share your teamhere, going to kind of break it
down. You know, we gotsome questions in the chat, like like
(07:04):
other options and stuff stuff like that. But so here here, here's your
squad. You've got, this isyour you know guys you got in so
far Stafford Singletary, Bress Hall,Javonta Williams, Mike Ivin, studd Amari
Cooper, Ceedee Lamb, Wattle,Schaltz, Eagles, Bangles. So I'm
looking. I've got Bressee Hall,I've got Ceedee Lamb, I've got Jaylen
(07:25):
Wattle. Obviously that decision might bemade for us if he does if he
doesn't suit up, but it's ahigher ankle sprain. They downplayed it today.
I think at best Wattle is ismaybe thirty percent chance of playing.
But even then, do you trusthim if you've got somebody else that you
feel like could at least give youten to twelve fourteen points. You know,
(07:48):
that's where these decisions really come in, Like do you feel better about
a Nijie Hairs scoring a touchdown orfor me, Noah Brown. I love
the matchup that the Texans have thisweekend against Tennessee. I think the Texans
are going to put up a lotof points this weekend getting stroud backs.
So I actually feel like Devin Singletaryis a strong play this weekend. Just
(08:13):
personal favorite, kind of under theradar type guy. He's a guy that
I'm probably gonna play everywhere. I'vegotten him. Yeah, and uh they're
still and then in the playoff hunt, right, so that they have a
reason to get him back. Yougot to win. They have to win.
Yeah, and then exactly so you'vegot options there. Yeah, you've
got the Najee Harris, like yousaid, you've got you know, you've
(08:33):
got a nice You've got some nicedepth here, Danny. So it gives
you kind of an opportunity. It'sscary because it gives you decisions that you
don't like. Sometimes it's nice tonot have decisions, right, Like,
Okay, but I think that's whatyou know. This league is kind of
built on that quality of depth.Right Whenever you've got to play you know,
two running backs, three wide receiversand then two flex plays, like
(08:54):
you've got to create some depth throughwaiver wires. Or you just got to
draft extremely well. Yeah, no, exactly so and a couple of good
points Scott. Scott brings up thisweek too, is in the chat our
not on our team necessarily, butyou know, AJ Brown declined to be
interviewed. This might be a getright game for him. We saw that
earlier in the season, right,Squeaky Wheel pissed off, he comes out
(09:18):
smashes the following week. He's beenkind of quiet recently. What are your
thoughts on like AJ Brown and theEagles offenses? I mean he hasn't been
pissed off the last couple of weeks. Yeah, I mean, right,
doesn't look great to me right now? I mean, could they get a
bounce back game without a doubt?Yeah? And AJ Brown is a stud
across the board. They're gonna getit figured out. Does it happen this
(09:39):
week? I don't know. Youknow, is it Devonte Smith? I
mean he's looked great with the ballin his hands the last few weeks as
well. So Goddard's finally healthy.You know, he's getting a significant amount
of targets. But yes, toScott's point, AJ Brown is due for
a huge monster game, right,Like he's due for a twenty eight thirty
(10:00):
two type point game. Yep,does it come this weekend? I don't
know, but that team has waytoo much talent on offense to continue to
delay duds like they have. Iknow, I know, Danny's another question
to chat here. You know,ceiling love ceiling guys like Cooper. Would
you start any of these guys overCooper? Hubbard, Singletary, Chandler h
(10:20):
Chan. Would you start any ofthem over Cooper? I don't know what
the format is, probably this thisformat, but I definitely wouldn't start Hubbard
or Singletary. Yeah, I meanyou can't start No, I mean just
I couldn't. I mean again,it goes back to if I'm gonna lose,
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna losewith my studs playing, Yeah,
right now. I mean, look, look at the last four to five
(10:43):
weeks of what Cooper has done withFlacco's quarterback. I mean, look,
I know, I mean, look, those guys are hot, They've got
chemistry. Look, I'm not takingone of those rbs over over Cooper.
I'm rolling with him this weekend,unless all of a sudden he's inactive an
hour and a half before kickoff,then we pitched it. But until Adams,
(11:05):
I'm firing him up. The interestingthing is too, and again,
listen, I know we're all competingin this together, but everyone up here
smart and they know what they're doing, and they've thought all this stuff out.
So the stuff that we're saying isn'tgonna put anybody who's up here off
their game. The only reason youmight get off of Cooper is because the
matchup isn't amazing. And maybe ifyou're in fifteenth or twenty it maybe maybe
you're leveraging and you have Cooper whileeveryone else how he's gonna start Cooper.
(11:28):
Maybe I'll throw an eight chan andhope for that twenty five point game and
leap frogs and Cooper too. Sothere are different because, like you said,
Danny, we're not playing for You'vegot to have really great depth,
right correct, start considering bench inCooper. Yeah, you've got to have
a couple of really good options thatyou like on the bench with really strong
(11:48):
plus strong matchups. Yeah, likeyou've got to have a combination of all
the above. Yeah. Because now, if Cooper had been struggling over the
last couple of weeks, right thenI would be like, all right,
I can get it. But Imean the guys been putting up what eighteen
plus points over the last five orsix weeks pretty consistently. I don't know
how you bench that, even evenwith a slightly down matchup. You know,
(12:13):
look, I'm always gonna roll withmy studs. I mean it was
my third round draft pick third.Yeah, I have to go back and
look, but I mean, yeah, like I was kind of saying,
the only the only reason you justkind of have to throw out any fantasy
analysis for this game. The onlyreason you would kind of bench Amarray Cooper
(12:35):
is if you were in like fifteenthor twentieth and you're trying to just say,
hey, listen, I don't careabout fifteenth place or tenth or twentieth
or seventh. I't first, Igot a lead PROG fifteen teams. I
got a bench Cooper. I gota bench Cooper just because hopefully everyone had
any starts him. I start anotherguy like you said, you got to
have a guy that can get youtwenty or twenty five. Yeah, I
mean, look, if you're tryingto throw a hell Mary right like,
(12:58):
and I'll use the New York asan example, right, now, Like
quite frankly, I think Tyrod Taylorgives a significant more upside to that wide
receiver corps this upcoming week, whetherit's Jalen Hyatt, Wandale Robinson, Darius
Slayton, et cetera. Like ifyou're looking at one of those guys that
looks Slayton looks like a guy thathe could put up eighteen to twenty points
on a whim, you know,high upside type guy. But I'm still
(13:24):
look, I'm still rolling Marti Cooperover any of those high upside guys.
But I get where you're going becausebecause so so here, this is a
team I have in nineteenth place,and I look at it, I say,
okay, like it's got a lotof different players from what you have,
but I've got a Singletary here,right, Like, well, if
Singletary goes off and you're a hutof meet with Singletary, that doesn't help
(13:46):
me at all, Right I maybeI maybe I slide in like a I
don't even I haven't even gone overthe lineups yet, to be honest with
you, But maybe I get stupidand throw like a AJ you know,
something like that where you're like,listen, if Singletary goes off. I
have to look at see how manyteams ahead of me have have had Singletary.
Yeah. So if you scroll downthough, I think I say saw
kJ Osborne. I mean, look, Jordan Adison out TJ Hockinson out.
(14:09):
Yeah, Look, that guy's maybe worth a throw, a dark throw,
right, just because of the matchupopportunity. You know, look,
you're not crazy about the QB situationthere, but again opportunity, lack of
targets not going to Hockinson now,not going to Addison. If he's out,
there's there's gonna be more targets thatflow his way. You gotta think
(14:31):
Jefferson is going to be double coveredthe entire game. Yeah, so that
could free up somebody like him.Yeah. And he's another thing too,
This is this was a team thatwhere I ended up going kind of bully
tight end. I mean I tookKittle. I didn't take him early because
you don't have to take tight endsearly at the FFWC. But I took
him as a top you know,five or six tight end. And I
came back with Laporta, and I'vejust been rolling with the both of them,
(14:52):
especially in the tournament, right,because I could probably look it up.
They have the stat track round here, which is which is great,
but there probably aren't that many LAto Kittle teams out there, right,
So that's been and they've been smashingfor me. It's it's been great,
you know. And Laporta has beenone of those guys where you probably got
him somewhere around the thirteenth righteenth round. And I mean, that guy at
(15:13):
that price target has just been amazing. I've got him on a ton of
dynasty leagues. I'm not sure I'vegot him on one main event team though,
So kudos to you because he's playedlights out this year. And I
gotta be honest with you, Ithis is where you know, everyone listening
and everyone out there and you knowthis, Danny. People need to be
(15:33):
constantly evolving and constantly evaluating the game. That's actually I'm glad you brought that
up. That's one of my probablymy favorite calls for myself this year.
I was always, always, always, never take a rookie tight end.
That was my thing, like whoit is? You know, the best
performances from a rookie tight end arestill below average tight end numbers I think
(15:58):
coming into this year the best finishwas somewhere around seventeenth or eighteen, correct,
Yes, yeah, like you neededeither a Kyle Pitts season or something
creaz like the top like Mike Dikostill has like the only few like the
tight end from the fifties. Itwas like one of the best tight end
seasons ever. But this season youkind of saw maybe like a shift and
their coach is a tight form formertight end and so I was really in
(16:21):
on the porta quite a bit,going against one of my number one rules,
and so everyone just has to bewilling to just kind of adjust.
The game's changing so quickly, andso it's super interesting to see, uh,
to see how that stuff happens.Yeah, I mean, look,
not just him, but I meanMichael Myers at Oakland has had a pretty
solid year. Muskrave at Green Bayhad had some solid weeks prior to his
(16:45):
injuries. So that rookie tight endclasses, you're going to hear from them
for years to come, for sure. For sure, They've got a cool
question from justin David Montgomery versus Dallasor raheem most stared banged up, Yes,
banged up. He has to putthe caveat in there against Baltimore.
The Wasten motion has been banged upall year, and they keep running them
(17:08):
out there ahead of David Ashane.And that's where I go back to Man
is like, Okay, he's bangedup, but obviously the coaching staff trusts
him more than they do right now. The rookie running back. And look,
if we're talking about next year,yeah we'll give me the rookie running
back. But I'm riding most ofthis week. You know Montgomery, Yeah,
(17:32):
that's gonna be a high scoring game. But you can just see Jamir
Gibbs continuing to get better and better, and they're using him more once they
get inside the twenty. You know, last week he had a couple of
big runs, I know, onefor a touchdown. He may have had
two rushing touchdowns last week. Butit looks like they're getting more and more
confident with Gibbs in those situations.So for me, if it was my
(17:53):
decision, I would go most eventhough look, I know Baltimore's got a
great defense. I just think hecould be relied on more this week as
well. If if Wattle's hurt.You look at that Baltimore secondary, they're
pretty solid as well, so that'sjust my opinion though. Yeah, I
(18:15):
have him right next to each otherliterally in my in my rankings. And
this is if we're talking about theFFWC here justin like the actual tournament or
any tournament really where you can setyour lineup. It's there's the game within
the game here, Like you getyou get a Montgomery on a Saturday night.
Now he gives you more information,right like if you if Montgomery smashes,
(18:37):
now you can adjust your lineup.You don't maybe you don't have to
get crazy with that last flex position, you know, or if he doesn't
have he has a dud. Okay, now I gotta go with kind of
the risk your more upside play onSunday. It gives you that type of
information too. If it's if it'sa coin flip, I think that there's
Yeah, this is I think thisis a pure point flip because what you
end up having is Moster has atough defense that he's going against, but
(19:00):
he's also chasing you know, somerecord books here man, and he's got
twenty touchdowns like they love them downat the goal line. They use them
a lot down there. Whereas Montgomery, like you said, I think Montgomery's
starting to wear down a little bit. They're starting to see I mean most
of it is too, but they'restarting to they trust Gibbs get Montgomery starts
the game, if the old warhorse he starts the game, gets the
first drive, and then you juststart to see Gibbs going there and just
(19:22):
smash, Like I honestly would wantto see the rest of his lineup as
well, Like what else do youhave matchup wise? What's your wide receivers
look like? I mean, look, that's a pretty damn good situation on
a potential RB two where you're,you know, making the decision between you
know, Moster or David Montgomery.That's a solid, pretty solid position to
(19:45):
be in. Yeah, he says, it's other options Jonathan Taylor. I'm
assuming Taylor's starting. If Taylor's notstarting, he I would definitely start JT
over both of them, without adoubt, with Moss being out with that
backfield the way it is right now, Yeah, totally agree for sure.
For sure. I would definitely likethat three headed monster. That's beautiful situation
to be in. So here's myhere's my team that's in that, that's
(20:08):
in fifth, that's Chase chasing you. I got a couple of similar players.
You have Gibbs as well on yourtime, So it's Breeze, we
have Breese Hall. Similar we've gotis that it bree and Wattle right now?
I have Wattle on my bench.You have Wattle in your starting spot.
So yeah, I mean, look, I mean more than likely.
I'd be really surprised if I'm playingWattle this weekend. Sure you just yeah,
(20:33):
you're hoping? Yeah, yeah.And it's funny too, Like I'm
looking like I've got two defenses Packersand Rams, And to me it's kind
of a coin flip there as aswell. And I'm thinking, like,
man, should I You know?Crazy thing too, Danny. This year
is no Monday night game. Normallywe're sweating this out for twenty four hours
after like who's gonna win? Youknow all that type of stuff. Now,
(20:55):
dude, it's gonna be like anF one race on Sunday. Just
fly out Sunday morning for Pasadena forthe Alabama Michigan game. Oh yeah,
I mean that sounds fun. Areyou? Who's your team? I'm an
Alabama fan. There you go,there you go listen. Uh, this
isn't a college podcast but I'm nota huge college guy, but I think
(21:19):
Michigan drew the short straw on thatbecause Bam I think matches up beautifully against
against Michigan. So yeah, ittypically when Alabama loses, you're beating them
with the pass, right bullying andhas the outside talent to beat him with
the pass. But look, younever know. Yeah, yeah, no
(21:40):
for sure for sure. But yeah, so I'm thinking about what the defense
is like if it's a true coinflip to me on these I want to
see like some of the some startingquarterback stuff and whatever that I think I'm
probably leaning leaning Rams, but I'mlike, man, if it's not too
much of a difference, do Iplay the Packers just to have that,
like, hey, if I'm losingeven by twenty, you know, I
have the maybe they would get adefensive touchdown. I get to watch it
(22:03):
live instead of being it being overfor me and just sitting knowing that I'm
not at first, just a coupleof different just mental games you play,
you play with yourself. But butyeah, unfortunately I don't have the bench
that you do on my on myteam that's in fit, like Tillman's unstartable,
you know, you got. Ihave a lot of running backs that
are counting on an injury to getto get played. Tray Sermon, Jeffrey
(22:27):
Wilson, you have Brian Robinson aswell. I think I have Brian Robinson.
I expect him to be dead thisweekend too, and even if he
was active, you can really trusthim against the Donners defense. And then
after Rodriguez this game last weekend,maybe they want to give him a better
look, but yep, he wouldbe hard to trust. Yeah, yeah,
So it's just gonna be It's gonnabe like a super super fun weekend
(22:51):
here for for for sure. Andbefore we move on, guys, this
isn't like this is like the bestweekend yere, but this isn't like the
only weekend that we have for therest of the season. The FFWC Playoff
Challenge. I don't know if youdid that last year, Danny year.
For like, it's a super coolunique format similar to Underdog with the draft
(23:11):
process and you draft these guys,but the thing that the difference is you
carry your points throughout the entire postseason, so you can draft al players
from one team and if they goout in the semi finals, but you
put up enough points, you canstill win the whole thing for both points
carry through. I don't know whatdo you do any different strategies you can
(23:32):
come in in those types of formats, man, And that's what makes it
fun, because if you enter sevenor eight of them, like you can
implement you know, half and halfstrategic wise, or even have different strategies
for each team. So those thosepostseason playoff leagues are a lot of fun.
Yeah, it's fun, and itgives you the ability to, like
you know, try to make somemoney back if you lost, or roll
(23:53):
some of the winnings over into thatstuff. And again there's sixteen drafts six
and it's serpentine style, same thing. And man, you get in there,
you have a chance to win somegood money. And like you said,
there are different formats. I suggestpeople play all the different formats out
there. Obviously I love the FFWCpartial to it, think it, think
it's great Scott and he can doa great job with that. But get
(24:15):
a little bit of everything, man, because like you said, there's the
underdogs are good. But but I'mpartial to These are quick drafts too.
You're done in like you know,fifteen minutes or so live live drafts with
people in the in the room.So Roy does a good job running those
and still yeah, no, Ithink it's Roy. Roy's the man.
Listen, he's in there. He'she's the man about a grinder. Man,
(24:37):
Listen, he's always he loves it. Yeah. I liked were you
out in Vegas this year, Danny. I didn't make it this year.
I did everything online, but I'vebeen out there several times. Yeah,
it's Roy's out there. Everybody's outthere. It's the best. Now they
got the commitment with Circa for fivemore at least five more years. Man,
Circa was incredible. I feel likeI talk about it with every guest
(24:59):
that comes out here. Man,and the ability they got the pool party
and the sports books insane, andthat that place looked pretty remarkable, dude.
It was Now it's it's it's offthe strip. But that's what dude.
The free Fremont Street is bananas,Like it's my first time down there.
The people watching, uh, theactual the sports books two floors,
(25:22):
it's the spread. This to beone of the nicest sportsbooks there anywhere,
hundred hundred percent. And I've gotto there's some sportsbooks that are pretty terrible
at Vegas, but believe it ornot, what would they've been. They
haven't changed for twenty years. That'strue. That is true. I mean
if you look at Caesar's win,I mean it's literally the exact same place
that it's been for twenty plus years. Yeah, and there's stadium seating,
(25:45):
tier two, at the at theat the sports book at stadium seating,
and they've got two levels. It'sjust it's the best. And I've done
them all, guys, I've doneall the different ones out there. This
one is by far the best.And the drafting experience at Top Golf that
was super fun, like Scott's makingfunny, Like, dude, you're golfing
in between picks. I'm like,listen, I'm in draft number one thousand
for the year, right if Idon't know what I'm doing by by now,
(26:07):
and I think that team wasn't firstplace for a while. But uh
but yeah no, you got tocome to circle next year. Danny.
It'snk me so much fun. I'min love it, mixing little golf at
Southern Hollands while I'm out there too, great big golfer, you're like Top
Golf. I don't got time forthat, for that, for that none
sense. But but yeah, sowe can talk about a couple. Guy,
(26:30):
I don't know if you have Iknow you do a ton of teams
and stuff like that. Did youhave any Stefan Diggs, because man,
he same thing last year, Dude, Stefan Diggs got you to the dance.
I remember him and Devanta Adams weregoing on heavily at the one two
turn last year. Then they getto the fantasy class and they just die.
Stefan Diggs another one. He's goingon. You know, we had
nine point two fantasy points last week. He's going on like five straight,
(26:52):
six straight weeks outside the top twelvewed suver finishes forty six, forty six,
forty five, thirty six, likeunstartable weeks. Yeah, where he
was drafted, I don't have onesingle share of Stefan Diggs on any team
interesting at all? Well was going. I just didn't like that situation at
all. Okay, all little personalityas well, which I know probably shouldn't
(27:15):
influence your decision making, but forme, it does. Okay at points,
so you know, in a lotof drafts he was going at one
six, one seven and that's thatwas a little too rich for me.
Yeah. The only reason, yeah, I definitely was not taking one six,
one seven. I don't have aton of digs either. But the
(27:37):
only reason maybe you take him upthere is is to make a unique lineup
that no one else really has.Like I know, I had a line
up Jack and I have had alineup that was in the top ten all
year in this it faded naturally.It's in like the sixties now, but
it was an it was the onlyAman Ross, Saint Brown, Keenan Allen
team. And that's because he tookon ride like this is five hole or
(27:59):
something to try to get unique.So you can do that's a good thing
about tournaments. When you do enoughteams you can get unique like that.
But yeah, Diggs has fallen off. I mean he's getting a lot of
it. He's still getting thirty pluspercent target share, but they're not passing
it near as much. Like thegame. It's the Cowboys. They didn't
throw at all last with the routes. He's running like everything is close to
the line of scrimmage. They're notreally focused on downfield roads with him right
(28:22):
now. It's there's just a there'snot a lot to like with him right
now for sure. Now again,it goes back to what Scott was talking
about earlier with aj Brown, rightlike, eventually they're too talented to not
have some sort of breakout game,but they definitely aren't trending in the right
direction. The same thing could besaid with you know, the Kansas City
(28:44):
Chiefs. So there's several offenses rightnow that are just kind of sputtering along
here at the end of the year, sputtering for sure. Speaking of sputtering,
we got a question here in thechat from Michael question about Tony Pollard
or Votcha Williams. Pollard to mehas been an absolutely true bust. I
say true bust because he didn't it'sinjury related. He's been not good.
(29:08):
They haven't used him like a workhorsein a while because he hasn't been good.
What are your thoughts on Pollard.I'm still leaning Pollard based on those
two because if you look at JavonteWilliams, they're changing their quarterback. But
also, I mean, look lookat how much time Julia McLaughlin's been playing
lately. Some i JP Ron isstill getting some third down looks and some
(29:36):
third down play like, Look,I've got Davonte Williams right now in my
starting lineup. He's one that Icould easily move out of there and place
somebody else, Like, I don'tparticularly love what's going on with him right
now. Did he get some golon carriers last week? Yes, But
if you look at his percentage andplace percentage of place he was on the
field, it doesn't give you awarm fuzzy feeling. So I at least
(29:59):
know Pollard is gonna be on thefield with the potential to catch four to
five passes and then potential to breaka long one. With Javonte Williams,
man, you don't know what you'regonna get with that offense this week,
not with Jared Stidham, for Christ'ssake, Sinder, I mean, I
watched that guy play at Auburn foryears, and I mean, let's be
(30:22):
honest that that doesn't give me awarm and fuzzy no, for sure.
For sure. The only thing Javontamight again, they might lean on in
that run game. Without set upthere, they play a much easier right,
But it is at him, Imean it's right, he's like he
got twenty carries last week. Right. I mean he had what maybe twelve,
and then Jalil had eight or nine. I think p Ryan I don't
(30:45):
know if he even had a carry, but I know p Ryan I think
had two or three catches. So, you know, he just hasn't been
that workhorse back that I think weall hoped he would be by the end
of the year. You expected himto start off slow with the injury,
but I think by this time youwere hoping he would be kind of that
Briefs Hall right, like he wasgetting eighty percent of the snap count like
(31:07):
brief is right. Now, that'sjust not happening. Yeah, no,
I I could I completely agree,completely agree from that from that perspective for
sure. But uh but yeah,I mean there's you like to play kind
of Devil's advocate. What all isthere? All this stuff people are thinking
through Pollard, like you said,probably can have a bad game and fall
into the end zone for two touchdownsbecause the offense is good enough, like
you said, to get him downthere and and and do that type of
(31:33):
thing. Yeah. Look, ifI needed, if I needed one of
those two guys to come to hitfor eighteen plus points, who am I
going with? Right? Exactly?No, I agree, you're you're going
with here. I gotta feel likePollard is gonna have a significantly more upside
than what Williams is going to giveme this week. Yep, all,
let's get to go with Angelo's team. Angel's been on the show before doing
(31:55):
doing really well this year. He'sgot the number one team right now.
He's got a is he over youtwenty one over you? Uh? Which
which you can you can make up? You know, He's got McCaffrey.
That's that's the thing. He's gotthat twenty five he does. Man.
Yeah, I mean, look withLamar and Christian, you like the floor
(32:15):
that you've got right there, youknow, from the get go. I
think why he hit a home runlast week, I would expect some a
little bit of regression this week forhim. But look, I mean he's
got a lot of a lot ofgreat you know, depth there as well.
I think he's he's playing Jacobe Myersthis week, right so, I
(32:36):
think he took out Jalen Wattle already, So he's got some options down there
at the bench. You know,he's got some pretty good depth there as
well. He's got options. Yeah, you know, I don't know about
Jay Jones coming back this week,or if Trevor Lawrence is going to be
playing, et cetera. So there'syou know, that may not be a
situation. Quentin Johnson, No,you know, I think Look, Roshawn
(32:59):
Johnson is still an interesting name.I mean, he's getting a lot of
run. Yeah, I could seehim as a potential flex play. And
it's interesting here too. I mean, I mean, listen, I've got
Rochan. Roshan is with it withthe running back, could coming back Forman.
Roshan's probably a zero. And Idon't mean actually zero, but probably
(33:20):
a zero. If Jalen Wade doesn'tplays, probably did he practice today?
He was a full full practice today. Yeah. Yeah, So that's that'stering
about that. So it's like nota ton Yarroger on the bench. He's
got And then listen, I'm justbeing matter of fact. I'm not saying,
you know, obviously not a badteam. He's in first place.
But Tucker Kraft, Isaiah likely RahidShaheed, He's got some some some low
(33:44):
floor player Jacoby Meyer is some verylow floor players on this team that that
you I whoever else can nick upsome some ground. If Widdle that doesn't
play, yeah, I'm probably playingat Justin Watson before I I played Tucker
Croft. But that's just me relyingon a little bit more of a who
(34:06):
I feel I trust more with PatrickMahomes going up against They've got a good
matchup this week against the Bengals,right, I mean the biggest, Like
they just rolled over and freaking quitlast week. So you know, t
Higgins coming or you know what's hiswhat's he gonna do this week? With
Jamar Chase looking like he's probably gonnaplay too. He's been target monster the
(34:27):
last couple of weeks, so isthat change you know, the dynamic for
him? So yeah, it'll beinteresting unexpected this Sunday. You just ye,
I can easily see a team thatmaybe didn't have a strong week last
week, that's in the twenties andthirties. Could they find a way to
be under plus this week and allof a sudden they're back in it?
(34:49):
That's right? No, completely agree. So that guy said, yeah,
if Chase comes back, Yeah Higgins, I mean, Higgins was a target
monster that last week. He wasawesome. I've got him at my nineteenth
place team. So but yeah,but you gotta love Lamar Jackson and Christian
McCaffrey as kind of your floor.Well, I was gonna I was just
gonna bring up Lamar. So Icame in fifth place in the FFPC main
(35:13):
event nine twenty nineteen. That wasthe Lamar CMC year. They were my
horses on that team. Christian McCaffreyis almost that same guy. Lamar's only
got twenty touchdowns this year. Imean, I've got Lamar everywhere. He
just I feel like he doesn't getthose easy Jalen Hurts fall In, Josh
Allen fall In touchdowns. They're allthe Gus Edwards. So I feel like
(35:37):
he really needs. You know,he loses Mark, Mark Andrews. I
feel like, I like, who'syour QB. I'm sorry, I don't
remember. So I've got Matthew Staffordbecause I lost Trevor Lawrence, I lost
Kirk Cousins. Those were kind ofmy two late guys that I had.
Yeah, I had to go,you know, Matthew Stafford, and he's
(35:58):
been great the last couple of weeks. Yeah, and look, I think
this this week he's gonna give metwenty two to twenty four. He's gonna
throw for two or three touchdowns againstthe Giants, but you at least feel
like Lamar his floor is going tobe somewhere around that twenty two to twenty
four mark as well, with hisrushing advantage that he's going to give you.
So I love look. I mean, you would think that is a
(36:20):
high scoring of affair them and theDolphins. So I like Lamar this week.
I like the likely matchup as well, So you know, I think
that could be a good combo.Yeah. Yeah, my team, my
top five team here is a JelenHurts team, so that like I Hurts
against Arizona Chops. Oh, thatcould be an absolute blow shootout, not
(36:45):
a shootout, but actually blow up. Spot there. Let's look at team
team too here. How do youthere's another Labar team. You know you're
against Lamar this week? Big taldoubt about it, that's right, you
know. Then they got the air. But this is this is another different
The cool thing Danny about th thislast week where there was like six guys
that went off for thirty five pluspoints. Normally at this point in the
(37:07):
year, you've got like two orthree guys that are on everybody in the
top ten. But with the waythat this last week, but the Amari
Cooper, the Pooka, the BreezeHall, the Gid, like there was
a Mike E like a huge year, but he had another big weeks that's
right. So and the cool thingabout kurtz Tein too, He's got Tyreek
(37:28):
Hill right where Tyrek did. Hilldidn't even play two weeks ago, so
a lot of teams and he didn'tgo crazy last week either, so a
lot of teams up here might noteven have Tyreek Hill. So he's got
a little bit of an advantage there. But you see, like Miarn Jones,
James Cook, like a lot ofguys, you know, Mingo,
that's unfortunate. I mean, I'msure you know he's got Cooper currently on
(37:50):
the bench, right, Yeah,he's being slick that far. Yet there's
no way he's playing John and Mingoover Cooper, right right, right,
unless he's trying to be different,unless he's trying to be Chandler. Yeah,
yeah, but you know in thetwo spot, look, I've got
Jonathan Mingo on my team, andlike I don't know, with DJ Shark
(38:13):
back and Adam Thielen and you know, Shark looks finally healthy. He's been
injured the majority of the year.Right to to lean on Mingo in that
situation. I mean that that wouldbe a set of who he's right there,
and to choose Mingo over Cooper oryou know, even Ty Chandler.
I think I saw him on hisbench as well. So U Chandler is
(38:37):
gonna get fed. Yeah, yeah, you look at it. Last week's
it's Cooper, it's Chandler. It'sall listen, Kurtin and we were doing
this show with you gets slick andjust changes the roster. But listen,
you gotta you gotta do stuff likethat this this this time. And look,
he's got a little bit of awild card there with Jalen Warren as
well. You know, I wouldn'tbe surprised if somebody was to play Jalen
(38:57):
Warren this week. Nag, he'sa little banged up. You know,
Steelers have to continue to win ifthey're going to make the playoffs. So
yeah, you could do a lotworse than Jalen Warren as a as a
second flex. Yeah. And RobertGross here in the chat wants to wants
us to uh to talk about histeam. I'd be happy to here.
It is again almost a whole differentteam here. Kamara moster chew ball.
(39:21):
Lockett is keenan Allen back this week. I haven't no, I think he's
going to be out again, Okay, I mean why play him and their
season is done? But Alan Higgins, Jay Jatta, I love this team
sitting in sixth again, so manylive players that are awesome. All these
guys could smash. This could bea two hundred point team this week,
(39:43):
you know what I mean? Imean, look, I love the Seahawks
matchup this week too, you know. So yeah, Lockett's one of those
big play guys, right, Imean you could see him catch four balls
for one hundred and twenty in atouchdown. I mean, and that that's
kind of how that guy rolls.So he could easily, you know,
(40:04):
go off. You know, ifyou look at his bench, you know,
Brandon Cooks had a three or fourweeks stretch there where he was lights
out wide receiver two and he's comeback to earth the last two to three
weeks. So you know, ashe do for a bounce back game,
did the lines try and just takeCity Lamb completely out of the game,
which would open up opportunities for him? Look a lot of things to consider,
(40:27):
because I don't think keenan Allen isgoing to play, so that's going
to take a spot there. Sothen the decision does do you feel really
good about Chubb you know Hubbard withthe Panthers, or do you like a
Brandon Cooks as a potential back bounceback? Is that you Kobe Meyers down
there too? I mean, look, yeah, he's got a lot of
options. Like, I really likethis team. It wouldn't surprise me one
(40:50):
bit if this team was the wasthe winner winner. How far back he
could be? That far back?He's right behind me, maybe thirty points,
thirty three points. I mean youcan you can overcome that, Usten
I like. I mean he's onlyfour points behind me, so that they're
basically even. I like his chancesdefinitely better than I like my chances.
(41:10):
I mean, to get a JayJetta team this this far is awesome.
I mean, granted he was jJefferson was awesome last week. But like
I said, if I'm me lookingat this team, I'm like, God,
I hope Chase plays. I hopeKenanellen doesn't play, you know what
I mean? Like, because I'mjust because this team could be two hundred.
Look at Kamara. I mean that'sright easily. I don't know that
(41:32):
I've seen Kamara on any team thatI've looked at really up and down as
a name that's been there frequently.So but he could be nine catches.
I mean, he's the that canput up twenty five to thirty points in
a given week. So yeah,so I'm super annoyed that I wish you
see Robert gros He was being Okay, what do you what do you think
(41:54):
about my hurts? Is this quarterbackus? Yeah? Yeah, I don't
want to go through a look atall these teams are going to find up.
My team's freaking dead before. Butthat's why Saturday Night to me,
man again with night with night LikeSaturday Night to me, dude is like
Jamier Gibbs ceedee lamb uh, SamLaporto, Like I need a monster night
(42:17):
out of that Breese Hall too,Like not everybody has Breeze Hall right,
Like you've got him, I've gothim. One's got him. I'll take
a big You know, we're lookingfor ten catches in this game right from
Briese Hall honestly, Like I thinkthat's going to be the play, right,
I mean, you know, theCleveland secondary is going to match up.
I expect them to take Garrett Wilson, you know, completely out of
that game for the most part,so you can easily see check Down City
(42:40):
to bres Hall all night tomorrow night. But you know, look, it's
going to be interesting, right Liketo your point, I will know whether
or not I have a chance onSunday by by Saturday night, by the
end of the Lions Cowboys game.Yeah, Cooper, I've got bris Hall,
I've got CD So, I meanthose are kind of my three big
(43:02):
horses right there. So you know, yeah, we'll know, we'll know
if we're in it at all bythe nsatday night, because like you said,
I'll have four guys gone by theend of Saturday night. So but
listen, dude, it's so muchfun. I've got a lot of guys
that I do this stuff with.High stakes community up here in Western New
York is gigantic. I mean,there's so many people that work for so
(43:24):
many companies and the high stakes uhsuperstars. I got a lot of them
coming over on Saturday night because we'vegot a lot of guys going, We're
gonna we're gonna eat some good foodand drink some good drinks and just hope
for the best and hopefully it's amemorable night, and it'll be it'll be
super super fun. Do you haveany other I know we've been going here
for forty three minutes or so.Do you have any other teams anywhere that
(43:45):
are sweating? You got any otherplayers or any other situations that you're looking
looking forward to. I've got anotherteam that I think is twenty or twenty
second. You know that one's gotKeenan Allen, and you know that team's
gone through a lot of injuries thelast few weeks as well. Christian Kirk
Keenan Allen's out. I mean,I think I may even be down to
(44:09):
Darnell Mooney, who's probably not goingto be playing this weekend either. So
it's just been decimated by injuries.But if you look at if you think
about matchups this week, man,like, look, I'm firing up a
lot of Texans this week, man, I will tell you that right now.
I love their matchup against the Titans. I think they are going to
(44:30):
put up twenty eight to thirty onepoints on that defense that does not have
Jeffrey Simmons anymore. So their successacceptable to the run. I love Devin
Singletary this week as a potential ifI'm looking for a guy that I think
could break out on my roster thatwould be a difference maker that a lot
of other teams won't have. He'sa guy that will probably surprise that I'm
(44:54):
high on this week. Yeah,dude, And I'm looking at this team
again here we have a time,but any of these guys, I mean
Singletary, but like Stafford, HenryFord, Connor, Tyreek, Sutton,
Pickens and joke like, there's againall these live play man, that's all
you want to get down here thistime? You want live players. So
(45:15):
you know you're not like, hey, I'm down by thirty and you have
the same players except for two,right, and you just see dead at
that point and you're dead at thatpoint. That that's right. So you
know, and you got Kennan Allenhere sitting near Christian Kirk. You know
I lost Kirk as well on ateam. So yeah, I mean,
look, man, injuries are goingto play a factor this week. Does
Courtland Sutton play right that you didn'tpractice this week? Assume Pacheco is going
(45:40):
to be out this week, soyou know there's going to be does somebody
have ch that's on the bench andall of a sudden they're firing him up,
because again to your point, it'sit's somebody that's different or Jerke McKinnon.
Yes, yeah, you know,for whatever reason, Man McKinnon always
seems like he's a guy at theend of the year that just comes out
(46:01):
of nowhere and just wins championships.Well I did that the last two year,
at least last year. No,yeah, the last two years years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, soso so interesting. But yeah,
we're all gonna be kind of like, you know, just locked in and
hopefully, yeah, listen, it'sgonna be so so so much fun.
(46:22):
I just want a week like wehad last week, because I'll tell you
that was super fun with all theplayers going off like every game. It
was just it was exciting. Itwas fun rooting for all these different guys,
you know, when you get downto this point of the year,
to have kind of everyone going offlike I had, kind of chasing here,
kind of gaining at the end.It was. I was in twelfth,
(46:42):
i think, going into Monday nightand it was and I knew I
didn't have any CMC and I'm likeman, I just got to fade a
CMC smash game and we, luckilyyou and I did. I mean,
CMC didn't go nuts and I hadZay flowers and flowers at one of the
best games of the year. Thatwas super exciting. So yeah, I
mean, look, man, likeyou hate to wish an injury or a
twisted ankle or a hamstring pull onanybody, but if it is, like,
(47:07):
I want to see c mc gownon the second play of the game
this upcoming week, and I hopehe's healthy for the playoffs because I'm a
big CMC fan. I think hedoes everything the right way. Stand up,
guy, Uh, I forgot aboutit. I was gonna say it,
but I didn't want to embarrass myselfand I wasn't right, But yeah,
(47:28):
no, thanks, yeah, Imiss you know. Look, you
could fire him up as a asa big RB two for sure this week,
maybe even an RB one given thatopportunity, because you got to think
the checko probably does not play thisweek. Correct, Yeah no, I
don't think. I don't think he'sgonna play this week either. I think
it's interesting too, like what playersare you going to need to have?
(47:51):
Like I think Jalen Hurts. It'sgonna and you know, I'm partial,
but you know, listen, they'reall frustrated and they've got to get right
week in Arizona. I think someEagles guys are gonna go absolutely crazy,
and there's gonna be some other teams. The Niners after that big spanking they
just took against Washington that unfortunately theDeebo Samuel Yeah, now you you know
(48:14):
Hidle game with Kittle, it wasit surprised me. Nine Ers put up
thirty five to thirty eight this week, right, right, we just got
to cross our fingers at CMC sitsin the fourth quarter or something or hopefully
listen, this is what I'm tryingto tell myself, the story. You
know, West coast team going Eastcoast for a one pm start. A
(48:35):
lot of times those that that's athing. When when when Vegas goes into
making lines, that's that that isa yeah. So well look there's a
lot of data, right that wouldsupport what you just said, and uh,
not just data, but a longstanding set of data like this isn't
the first year that it's happened,just going on for seventeen years easily,
(48:59):
right, short week too, right, they were. They were Monday night,
so I got they're gonna be pissedoff. But but yeah, you
get, I don't think Trent TrentWilliams might not play got the injury,
like they might start wrestling some guyyou know, not fully resting. But
you know, so it'll be interestingthere to see. But but uh yeah,
hey listen, Danny dude, thanksso much for joining me. Good
(49:21):
luck this is this week. Hopefullyone of us, one of us wins
it or someone else here in thegood luck to yourself as well. It's
gonna be fun no matter what happens, it's gonna be fun, and it's
gonna be you always want to gointo the last week with with just a
fighter's chance, and and that's whatwe've got. And you know, it
could come down to who has theballs to make just maybe a crazy decision
(49:45):
that ends up hitting right, Likeyou know we were talking about Jonathan Mingo,
Like is that of Jonathan Mingo?Is that a Jalen Hyatt of the
Giants? Because I do think TyrodTaylor will will be significantly better for that
offense. Like there's gonna be somebodythat says I'm gonna just pull something right
here and just hope it hits andand it could right it does. That's
(50:07):
all it takes. That's all ittakes. And it's uh yeah for sure,
and I hope that someone wins itthat was uh you know, comes
out to Vegas next year so wecan high five of them and all that
type of stuff. It's such agreat community here at the FFWC, and
I hope to see everyone in thosedraft rooms here for the playoff challenges again.
We'll be in there chat it upand and hopefully building some of those
(50:29):
championship rosters. So thanks everyone fortuning in again. Hit to hit those
likes to subscribe. We'll be doingmore of these and I will have on
this show the winner of of theof the Championship and probably the Circa Las
Vegas Championship is as well. Hopefullyit's Danny again, and but if not,
that's all right. Let's just let'sjust make some money. But we
will see everybody next week. Seemuch everybody appreciate it, Adam, Yes, sir,
