Athletes and Gaming: Tyreek Hill's Fortnite Reveal
00:00:32
Speaker
crazy occurrence that is okay this is gonna be a rapid-fire I'm in the middle of a move moving into a new house don't have a ton of time to do this so I'm just gonna spend some shit see what happens and as far as like stuff that happened
00:00:54
Speaker
I mean, this is, this is one I forgot to talk about a couple or last week, but the Instagram I saw, who was it? It was Tyreek. Right? Yeah. Tyreek Hill. Cause the dolphins signed Chubb at deadline, Bradley Chubb. And he found out about it while he was broadcasting himself playing fortnight.
00:01:22
Speaker
I don't know how, why Fortnite is a thing still. And it's, I don't know. It's kind of funny. I don't know if this is a trend, but I also saw a Kyrie broadcast himself playing grand theft auto, like, I don't know, six months ago or something. It's just kind of funny seeing these pro athletes and their spare time broadcast themselves playing video games and then like finding out about important news about their, um, their team. So.
00:01:51
Speaker
I just thought that was weird.
Brett Favre and the Concussion Drug Controversy
00:01:54
Speaker
Brett Favre's still an idiot and getting really bad press. Apparently there's a concussion drug company that he backed and they overstate their product benefits. Who knows how much of that is Brett Favre's fault. But yeah, the guy just, shadiness follows him or he brings shadiness, who knows. So not much.
00:02:20
Speaker
Left to say about that.
Fantasy Football Surprises: Joe Mixon's Unexpected Performance
00:02:22
Speaker
So let's talk about quickly how freaking annoying last week was because it was one of those weeks you can trust your process.
00:02:36
Speaker
Have a great process and just really bad results because dumb shit happens. Like Joe Mixon scoring five touchdowns against a pretty decent Panthers defense. And Joe Mixon has been fucking terrible all year. The guy has been extremely inefficient. So if you had Joe Mixon, your lineup, you were very lucky because the process.
00:03:02
Speaker
Nothing about this process said he's gonna like have a career game. Okay, so before week nine versus Carolina, Joe Mixon was this six out of the eight games he had under four yards per carry. And then he had two games where he was above five yards per carry. So he's been extremely inefficient all year.
00:03:32
Speaker
really tough to like trust at all he had a price tag that was above a lot of other great plays so it's just one of those weeks where you can be frustrated you can be pissed off you can say i never want to do this bullshit ever again i fucking hate dfs because it's random and no matter how hard i try or how much i
00:03:57
Speaker
read into or whatever, it's just all random bullshit. And that's true some weeks, some weeks it's not. So the good thing to take from stuff like that, and we'll say Justin Fields is getting way too much fucking hype.
Reliability of Justin Fields' Record-breaking Performances
00:04:12
Speaker
I know we had another career game, most rushing yards for a quarterback, he got
00:04:18
Speaker
What? I think he got like, uh, just on his legs, got like 26 points or something. Not even counting his passing production. So again, very fluky. I don't think you can rely on that. He still holds, you know, his release time still like the worst in the NFL. Um, so yeah, if he's going to break records with his legs every week, great. Um, he'll be a popular play this week against the lions. Don't blame people.
00:04:48
Speaker
Last year versus the Lions Justin Fields Didn't do too good both games last year. So who knows? Well, we'll see what happens there I know Mooney got easily over a hundred yards in both those games, but fields That was like all of his passing product production and only got like 40 yards rushing in both games So good luck if you want to play fields and keep riding that hot train He's priced way up there as a result so Yeah
Personal Fantasy Football Lineup Frustrations
00:05:19
Speaker
That was annoying. If you didn't have Justin Fields or Joe Mixon, you got fucked and not in a good way. Um, all right, let's just get into it. Obviously I'm frustrated. You know how I did last week. Not good, not good at all. I think this is the worst week I've had. I liked the process again, just bad results.
00:05:47
Speaker
So I had Trevor Lawrence. Um, it was an okay play. Justin Fields was a hundred bucks more would have gotten me like 30 more points. So that one kind of stings. Um, Aaron Jones versus Detroit. He got four touchdowns for some last year. I mean, it's Detroit. It was a good play. You can't talk shit about it. Um, Foreman after getting a hat trick of touchdowns last week.
00:06:15
Speaker
versus pretty soft rundy Cincinnati Bengals did not do too good. He only got four to point one points. Justin Jefferson.
00:06:24
Speaker
Saved me a little bit, especially in that first quarter, he got a touchdown right away, ended the day at 28 points. I had DJ Moore at 4.4 points. Drake London at 4.3 points. God, ridiculous. So I just listed off four out of six plays, had single digits.
00:06:48
Speaker
Three out of six plays had four point something points. Foster Moreau went back to that one. He got five point four points really bad. Kenneth Walker very, I was very high on him. He got 30 points just north of 30. Hell yeah. But yeah, so I had two good plays. Quarterback was mediocre. Everything else fucking sucked. And then I just put the Colts in.
00:07:15
Speaker
Where's the Patriots? Which seemed like it was going to be great, but the Patriots somehow scored 26 points against them. So that sucked. Seven points. Terrible lineup. Total point total. 108.8. God awful. Fucking terrible. Gross. Disgusting. Makes me want to quit, but you know what?
Travis Etienne's Fantasy Value Against Kansas City
00:07:35
Speaker
I'm looking at this manipulation. You're all being manipulated by these values of these players. I gotta say, I was kind of frustrated because I like Etienne this week. I like him this week. Last week he was a fade for me versus the Raiders surprisingly because the Raiders haven't allowed a
00:07:58
Speaker
100 yard rusher all year until a fucking Etienne who had to carry the ball 28 times to barely get over the 100 yard mark, the century mark, and then fell in the end zone for two touchdowns, which if Etienne doesn't break one, he doesn't get touched. He's not really a goal line touchdown guy. He hasn't been getting the passing work. I mean, if you watch highlights of him,
00:08:22
Speaker
He has great footwork, footwork, burst acceleration, all that stuff. Really like it. Very impressed by his high end speed and all, you know, all that stuff. Doesn't get a lot of passing work and he doesn't really like get many yards after contact. I don't have the stats in front of me, but just watching highlights of him this year, the guy sneezes by him and he just falls down.
00:08:47
Speaker
So kind of annoyed that he hit again last week. It's going to make him very popular this week at his highest price point. He's at 7,100 this week. He was 63 last week and then under six for the entire year before that. So against Kansas city, that's the, I mean, it's a, if you have a 80 plus percent running back, snap percentage running back first Kansas city, I like it.
00:09:14
Speaker
Um, so yeah, he's definitely in play this week, but probably comes with high ownership because of this fricking hot streak he's on. Anyway, again, the values are fricking confusing and all over the place
Optimism for Future Fantasy Football Success
00:09:29
Speaker
right now. So as frustrating as last week was, I'm going to come back. I'm going to come back and do, do good.
00:09:38
Speaker
I'm going to do good and get back. Where am I at for there? Got to double check at for the year, what week nine. So that would put me at five and four, $5 all time winnings on the year. If I lose next week, guess what? It's just like the shitty rap I'm about to play. I'm going to come out even in the end.
00:10:00
Speaker
That's all I got for you. I'm gonna move into this new house. Last ep from this shitty townhouse until next week.
00:10:27
Speaker
No Hampshire, what's on the ground? Do it all, been small enough in the gate? Or terribly great, if I think I could? I might be with, I might forget, but I'll be consistently certain of the show.
