Introduction and Guest Lineup
00:00:04
Speaker
Welcome to the Chopping Block, the guillotine league podcast made for you. what's up guys it's another week for the podcast and i think we got a good one today i'm ah here as always with big spence what's up ah album here i what is this three in a row four in a row For what, be it just showing up? On the pod, I haven't missed, I've only missed one this year. I got so some flack last year. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. yeah you ah You looking up anything specific right now, like on your computer? um I'm looking up my liability insurance.
00:00:41
Speaker
Okay. Okay. and And why would that be? Because Eddie is sales insurance now. Shoot. Well, I got curious. We might as well welcome him on Eddie. We got, we got insurance ed. Yes, sir. What's up everybody. It's good to be here. ah he's ah Freshly licensed. If you need insurance, hit them up. You can sell you some in California. Only if you got money though.
00:01:11
Speaker
You need money. I mean, that's how it works. That's how it works. And I know, I know everybody in this league be broke, so. Yeah, we are a bunch of broke bitches Except bid day because you know, he's like a dental He's actually probably the most broke. He's like negative All those student loans Yes All right. Well, I know today was a good day. You passed your exam. Congratulations, but It's probably not a great week for fantasy.
Fantasy Football Challenges
00:01:42
Speaker
So how how are you taking the the guillotine l? Yeah, it was it was tough
00:01:47
Speaker
not gonna lie um I didn't feel like it was my time to go yet so when I had a couple of duds on my week this week I just I couldn't believe it because I thought I had a couple more weeks left in this league it wasn't my time to exit so it's been depressing hmm well now you're only in ten leagues right yeah I think I'm down to 11 actually.
00:02:14
Speaker
which One i to pay attention to. Yeah. I was forgetting to bid for like two weeks, um, which I don't think cause why, but there was too much. Yeah. No, that's why you're here. I don't know. I think there's a few reasons why I'm here, which I'm willing to break down for you as JJ quoted. He quote tweeted you. I forgot to bid. Fuck.
00:02:41
Speaker
that's true that's true but i think the reason i lost this week because like three of my main starters were all hurt so yeah okay well what what could have you done differently is there any like hindsight's 2020 type of stuff going on i mean yeah definitely this is the the first year in the guillotine league so being a newbie was tough to figure out like the bidding strategy for sure, um not having experience with it. So when I first was bidding, I was definitely overbidding for certain players instead of playing the long game for like better value. And a guy like George Pickens is a dude I definitely overpaid for in the beginning, but he also just had a terrible year with Justin Fields so far. So it might improve with Russ.
00:03:28
Speaker
um I just thought Russ was gonna be playing so that kind of sucks and then Also in an 18-man league the draft strategy is crazy different. So I didn't feel like my draft went very well. Yeah but It is what it is
00:03:47
Speaker
Yeah, it's kind of interesting. We're getting to that point where players are starting to get picked up for the second time. yeah um And so you see a couple of bombs forming. ah So we have ah people you picked up. We have James Connor. ah We got George Pickens, of course. Yep. I don't know who else you really picked up for big bucks. I don't think I spent money on these guys. I think those were the um the two.
00:04:18
Speaker
Yeah, I think so. It's going to be interesting to see if we got some if we got Connor or pickings on the block anytime soon to get picked up. um Obviously, we got the a lot of a situation. ah Did you watch that game?
Impact of Injuries on Fantasy Results
00:04:35
Speaker
I did not. OK, Spencer, did you? No, I didn't. I actually didn't watch any football this week. You got it.
00:04:44
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I saw the yeah, I I wasn't watching apparently he got fucked up it's with negative one point he got messed up in the Four minutes into the game or six. It's like eight minute mark first catch dude gets his head bone off so he follows the football out for the rest of the game and He ends with negative point one. It's just tough. Like it's it's just tough Yeah I have them in two leagues in the, the go daddy league two Spence and I lost by like a couple of points. And that was like a big reason. Yeah, it's, it's brutal. And that happens. I had rushy rice and, uh, yeah.
00:05:24
Speaker
i Tied with someone I tied in rice tours. That was a we would he Isn't he blew up? Yeah, he had a he had his head on that week in in my dynasty league I had traded for him during that week. So I gave up um David Montgomery and Jordan Addison and a first for Rishi rice and then he dropped the dud and it's out for the season Yeah yep
00:05:55
Speaker
It's brutal. All right. And I want to go over the, um, but can go whatever it whatever you want, baby. I want to go over, uh, what, what could have been. Okay. So you started another dud here. Okay. So a lava that you can't control that. That just sucks. Yep. Uh, you can control maybe some, some of these, uh, other sit, start decisions. So you started Alec Pierce. Okay. He got zero points the previous week. Last week he got 21 points. If you would have started.
00:06:28
Speaker
either Noah brown or Noah fans over Mr. Alec Pierce, you would have not been eliminated this week. You know, I've got, uh, okay. Give us a, was it recency bias? Perhaps. Uh, I mean that.
00:06:45
Speaker
Alec Pierce has saved me in two weeks, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. But Michael Pittman was supposed to get in the IR and wasn't supposed to play. So I thought Pierce would have a bigger role, and for him to drop a ah zero is pretty crazy. um He's had like three 20-point weeks or something like that already. Maybe two. but yeah His two 20-point weeks, ah how many receptions do you think he had? Oh, like three.
00:07:14
Speaker
Yeah. In the first game, that's the only reason why I survived week one is because Alec Pierce had a 20 point week. Love it. Well, I guess you lived and died by Alec Pierce. I did. I did. I haven't been almost every league. it No, that was tough. That was tough. um I would have started Noah Fant if I knew that Michael Pittman was going to play on the two tight ends.
00:07:41
Speaker
But I didn't expect a zero bomb, especially with Joe Flacco. That's unfortunate. yeah Well, you're here with us now. um So we might as well go over ah the players that used to be on your roster. but Have you got a chance to look at these bids?
00:08:03
Speaker
uh quickly but yeah i'm looking at them right now okay okay okay so uh as a as a first timer to guillotine uh i'd recommend keep if you're playing on a plan again keep lurking because you'll learn some valuable intel in the next 12 weeks here of bid strategies um we're starting to get to that point where people don't have five six hundred dollars to blow on an elite player But ah Jonathan Taylor went for 300 bucks to Chris. What do we think about this? I mean, I think that's a pretty fair bid for a guy like Jonathan Taylor.
Bidding Strategies and Player Value
00:08:43
Speaker
Because I think he's going to be healthy this week. I know he's still questionable. So that for only that reason, potentially like an overpay and risk.
00:08:52
Speaker
Uh, but Jonathan Taylor is a healthy running back is like probably a top three back in the league. So I think it's valid. And I think with Chris, who's been on the edge of getting eliminated for the last two weeks, maybe three that he needed a player like Jonathan Taylor. So I think that's a good bid. And it was like, it wasn't an overpay. There was some guys who put up the high two hundreds as well. Yeah, true. True. Uh, Spencer, you did not put a bid on Jonathan Taylor. What's up with that?
00:09:22
Speaker
Uh, I just didn't want him. I felt like I just dropped some cash last week. I was like, I want to hold off. So I'm going hog wild. Um, wasn't there a bye week? I'm not looking at it right now, but JT bye week is 14. Yeah. i'm I'm stupid. Um, I just didn't want him. I just didn't want to bid on him.
00:09:48
Speaker
Yeah, okay. That's valid. How come you didn't get on him? I did. Oh shit. Yeah, I put a fat 92 on that guy. Okay. I mean, that's like pretty soft, bro. 92. JT, I knew he was going to go for a lot more. Okay. He's like, uh, the next generation CMC. Like, uh, he just, he's, when he's healthy, he's amazing, but when he's hurries, he's not playing. Sure. Yeah. Comparing in the CMC is wild. Next up.
00:10:16
Speaker
No, it's not. Yeah, he's like just a whole different class in 2021. He scored. I don't know how many he scored. Yeah, he was the leading rusher catch the football. Exactly. and That's where I'm struggling with this comparison. He doesn't really catch with the football like CMC does. All right, whatever. Next next generation fucking Jamal Charles. Sure. All right. All right. We got James Connor.
00:10:45
Speaker
For $1.88. Yeah, I mean i paid $300 for James Connor. and he's been dr now He's been dropping some duds. like unlike you know This is the thing with me and James Connor. Whenever I have had James Connor in all these years prior, he's had terrible years. But whenever I play him, he drops $25. And it's just like,
00:11:10
Speaker
I always die by James Connor so I thought maybe having him in guillotine would give me some points but no he dropped like four last week so that Arizona offense is kind of tough I don't know I don't like it um but I think yeah I honestly don't think 188 is an unreasonable bid but for the next person to only put up 74 is pretty nuts, because I feel like that's a steal if you were to have gotten them for anywhere like under 100. But obviously 188 is an overbid, so. Yeah. We were slacking on bid this this week. Yeah. I didn't want James Connor. You didn't want James Connor. I did not. And Austin ah really wanted James Connor.
00:12:04
Speaker
We'll see how that turns out ah We also got George Pickens another potential bomb and another overpay. Yep 172 this is uh, this is your buddy so what gold that ah I Mean I think it's an overpay Considering Pickens has put up double digits only like one time. No twice um he's just had a disappointing year, but I know that I ah Joel's idea of tummy bugs is that Russ is going to start and his production will go up with Russ as the quarterback. um I agree with that take because Justin Fields just hasn't proven that he's like a throw first quarterback. And I think that Russ is just a better pocket passer than than Justin Fields is. And Pickens is the wide receiver one. So if they can get that offense rolling, I feel like it's going to be through Pickens in the air.
00:13:01
Speaker
And maybe, maybe
Evaluating Players' Fantasy Potential
00:13:03
Speaker
he's good from here on out with Russ as the quarterback, if Russ stays the quarterback, but that's an overpay for sure. I wouldn't have put over a hundred for him. Even if Russ was the quarterback, for sure. Pickens has been shit.
00:13:21
Speaker
Pickens has been shit. Yeah. He has. I know. I know. I agree. There's a lot of players this year that Have just been absolutely shit. Yeah, like I said in the chat, I think I put in just a bit for Jonathan Taylor. The rest of your team is ass. I can't believe you made it this far, to be honest. Bro, Alec Pierce.
00:13:46
Speaker
hallie be here
00:13:50
Speaker
There is Slayton as a waiver claim that was that was huge two bucks Huge huge huge I got him. I didn't realize I put a $41 bid in for him and you're the only one You're back you're an idiot No, I'm not an idiot. Idiot. We also got Joe Burrow for 140. Next bid, $15. Hey, Joe Burrow's been cooking.
00:14:23
Speaker
yeah Besides week one, Joe Burrow's had a good week. Would you rather have him for 140 or 16? I mean, I'll take 16 every day of the week. Especially Sundays.
00:14:38
Speaker
We got a lot of overpays. It's kind of wild. It's guillotine, man. You never know. It is. It is. All right, we also got Sam LaPorta for $63. You drafted him, right? Yeah, you drafted him. I love Sam LaPorta. That's why. How do you feel with his performance this year? ah Biggest waste of a draft pick ever. That's how I feel.
00:15:05
Speaker
I took him in damn near every dynasty league that I have to in like the second or third round, so um I Didn't think his rookie year was like a ah joke. I thought he was just gonna be a big-time tight end in the league, but Right now he's having like a Mark Andrews kind of year man. It's Not good, and I've like how they want things True and maybe Laporta is too. He had a what the double flea flicker trick play against Dallas for ah his big touchdown play and that was his only involvement in that whole game, but Yeah, it's been a tough season for Laporta because I thought he was the real deal and I'm i'm hoping for it for dynasty reasons, but he's just been a Below below average tight end so far this year Yeah If I were to have any type of George Kittles had the best year by far Yes
00:16:05
Speaker
Yeah, ah here's here's the kicker. Okay. Here's what the, the, the gents have all been waiting for. Uh, $33 for Chris Alave. Yeah. Well, cause often couldn't carry him. He bid 129. Yeah. Um, but 33 for a guy you can just like have on your IR right now, uh, is a steal because if he's back and you're still, uh,
00:16:36
Speaker
I mean not cut in this league then that's so that's a steal of a pick for you to be able to insert into your lineup. So Yeah who who gods would you bigs yeah one yeah i a for thirty yeah four i would would that Yeah, come on now Would you do both and even bid yeah, ah yeah, I should the bed yeah, I think this ah I think we all should learn a lesson here. It happens every year.
00:17:09
Speaker
We, this week, like nobody bid. the It was, I think, I'm sure instead of his roster was so bad. Everyone's just like, eh, but the, I think the lesson is, even if you know, you're, you're think you're not going to win the bid, you might as well put one in because it's times like this where I would have put up, you know, maybe 70 bucks down for Chris knowing I wouldn't win.
00:17:38
Speaker
And then I would win them. I'm like, Oh damn, look at that. Yeah. So, Oh damn, look at that. And lesson, lesson for Austin is like, just choose different players to drop. If you're trying to get other people, bro. Like, well, I don't think there's any left either. Cause I don't know. I'd have to look at 129 and he only had scanning, scanning.
00:18:09
Speaker
Uh, one 22. So he probably chose the same player knowing that he would probably or like only wanting one. And, uh, you couldn't afford it anyways. So. Hey, fair enough. Yep. He only wanted in one. So elite play, maybe.
00:18:28
Speaker
True. Or just bit less. Yes, yeah. Eddie, have you taken a look at some of these teams?
00:18:44
Speaker
Yeah, what about i but these rosters? What what are we thinking? What are we feeling? ah Oh, I mean, glancing at it. um At first, I'm like, de-big. I don't like your team.
00:19:04
Speaker
I think he's got some strong assets, but I think if James Cook doesn't play this week, ah he might be the next a limb. But if he does play, there's definitely a roster on here that I have hated from day one and always dislike. And that's a big expense, dude.
00:19:29
Speaker
I don't blame you, dude. this this this all I'm just having really a really bad ah fantasy year in general. Oh my God, you just lit in Tucker or two? Yeah, I just did it. Why not? Let's get wild.
00:19:46
Speaker
Sean Tucker on a Monday night. Imagine you're down. That's going to be electric. that right Yeah, I just had, i just in my dynasty league, I just lost because someone made a trade for Ray Davis right before kickoff. Put him in his lineup. I lost by four because he dropped 18 points. So, hey, maybe Tucker's gonna do that back to back weeks.
00:20:15
Speaker
I don't know. um so My team is disgusting. um It really hasn't been talked about as much as I thought it would be on the podcast, but we're still here. We're still battling.
00:20:26
Speaker
um
00:20:28
Speaker
Josh Allen is kind of my, he's not really living up to Josh Allen yet. Hopefully with his Amari Cooper edition, you know, we'll we'll start getting on a roll here, but he's yeah had some bad weeks and I'm like, I'm surprised I'm still here.
00:20:44
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And I would say Josh Allen's not living up to himself because he's thrown no interceptions. Other than that, he's a boom and bust kind of guy, so. I also hate Josh Allen with a passion, so. Why? Because I'm a Pat Mahomes guy. And Mahomes is just Josh Allen. Interesting. Daddy and everyone thinks Josh Allen's a better quarterback and I just like, you guys are crazy.
00:21:14
Speaker
For fantasy, he could be crazy, but in reality, he's not the quarterback I want leading my team. and you know Steve, man. I was recently in Mexico and there was this drunk guy and he came up to me and he's like, Josh Allen? I'm like, yeah, what's up? And he's like, dude, you got to throw better into these games. I'm like, I'm sorry.
00:21:38
Speaker
And then like every time I'd see him in the hallway, he'd be like, Josh Allen. And I told my father-in-law this and he's like, yeah, I've always thought you look like Josh Allen. What the hell? You do not look like Josh Allen. That's what I thought. That's what I thought.
00:21:53
Speaker
That's just a white guy. You look more like Mike Glennon. Like Glennon? Bro, is that like the backup? I'm just telling you. You look more like Mike Glennon than Josh Allen.
00:22:15
Speaker
Alright, I'm gonna change my profile picture to Mike Glennon. That's hilarious. I don't even think you look that much like Mike Glennon, but I feel like you you look more like him than Josh Allen. For the Josh Allen comparison, it's just the hairstyle. That's all it is. Joel doesn't even have hair. I got the Mike Glennon hairstyle, bro! Holy shit! but I know! Whoa! That's news to me right there.
00:22:45
Speaker
I can see a video everybody of everybody of Joel's hair or shall I say lack thereof. Yeah. With a podcast, you don't really run into that issue. nor No, that's wow.
Fantasy League Predictions
00:23:01
Speaker
All right. Let me get this back on track. Eddie, I need to know ah definitively, who do you think is going to be going home next week? Is it big spends or is it D bigs? Oh, it's big spends.
00:23:17
Speaker
but i think that's the second person to say that so you know hopefully that's another miss i mean i don't want to yeah i'm just trying to manifest it that's the thing that's wild yeah as well your your average finish is too high for my liking you need to be uh put back in your place a lot of people say that a lot of people say that yeah and like well like you said you're just having a rough fantasy year and like It just needs to continue to be rough, so let's get you out. You're you're right, you know, kind of but put me out of my misery, right? yeah Yeah. You can focus more time on the pod itself.
00:24:01
Speaker
yeah Whoa, if you go out, there's not going to be a guest, is there? yeah I might go missing some days. I might, if I'm out. I might go missing. Joe's like, what? I might be on a golf course, you know, doing a pod at the same time. I might be, who knows, driving a car somewhere. I might be doing some devious stuff while we're we're trying to pod. Wow. Sounds impressive.
00:24:33
Speaker
Alright Eddie, let me know who do you think is gonna win it all? oh Oh man, I was not prepared for that. ah I know everybody glazes Pat and like every time I look at his roster, I'm just like, yeah, that's a good team. Glazing. Well, I have to, I didn't look at everyone's right now. That's kind of tough. ah My instinct says Pat.
00:25:02
Speaker
Shit. won't be Chris.
00:25:07
Speaker
Oh no. I love you buddy, but like, no, I don't think he's ever been good. Any, any year that we've done fantasy, kind no stop. He's got a good team. He just picked up Jonathan Taylor.
00:25:28
Speaker
He's got JK Dobbins. Well, you know, you know, actually, uh, week seven exit, B Sue, whatever his name is, he's got a pretty good lineup. Um, if, if Jordan Mason continues to be the guy, uh, in San Francisco, that's a pretty deep team.
00:25:50
Speaker
Yeah. i like it I like his team star jets wide receiver. Yeah. I mean like fully healthy. That's a, that's a pretty damn competitive team in my opinion. So, Oh, let's give it to week seven exit. So we don't glaze Pat, even though I'll glaze them later tonight.
Humor and Friendships in Fantasy Leagues
00:26:10
Speaker
Oh, whoa. Whoa. I work at Krispy Kreme. Chill, chill.
00:26:21
Speaker
All Eddie any more any more beef to squash or to start You know, I'm always up for beef but Actually Joel are you in the league still you have Let me look at your roster here Looks terrible um No, it's actually it's not bad. It's not bad Jared Goff kind of been playing lights out um I'm a mcclaurin fan just because of Washington. So I you know, I like your team. I like your team. It's not bad. quiet Okay you'll You'll survive definitely another like three or four weeks for sure amazing That's not a good thing. I don't want to hear if I was Joel that confidence to the
00:27:16
Speaker
That's manifestation right there. I want to stay three more weeks. That sounds great. yeah Your roster is not that bad, but you definitely got to just add to those flex players.
00:27:28
Speaker
For Tyler and Tracy Fox. Yeah, but Singletary will be back. Nah. Nah, he's not coming back. That's the motive. All right. This is your last duty and we'll let you go. What emoji should the folks put in the chat so we know they made it to the end? Oh, that's a great question. I wanted to think of a creative one. Give me the. The devil emoji, but like the purple one, the menacing emoji. I need that. I'm about to do a bad stuff one.
00:28:09
Speaker
Yeah, or the like, I'm horny one, you know? Oh, okay. That's, that's the way I'm horny one. Come on. I mean, that's what I was kind of saying by saying bad stuff since you're, you know, Mr. Big Tits in the other league. but
00:28:28
Speaker
You gotta live up to that energy. Yeah, that energy. Bro, it's such a like a soccer player thing, I think. It's like if you're not acting gay with your best friends and you're doing it wrong, or you're just self-conscious about your sexuality. So if you're not acting gay, maybe you are. Huh. Yeah. Noted. Yeah. Yeah, Joel, when was the last time you touched a cock? Oh, it's been a while, I think. You might be gay.
00:28:56
Speaker
yeah you might be gay you might be game and know he's touched
00:29:24
Speaker
you might be gay i know he's touching
