Fantasy Football Strategies
00:00:04
Speaker
We're living in a fantasy world. We're living in a fantasy world. We're living in a fantasy world. We're living in a fantasy world.
00:00:24
Speaker
Fantasy football, the true frontier. These are the toils of you, Vike, that. Presently on a 40- to 45-year mission, to try zero running back as a theory, or maybe flex quarterback, to giving way too many points to the return man.
00:00:43
Speaker
Essentially to boldly go where other leagues have probably gone two to three years before, led in tandem by the sometimes dynamic duo of...
Introductions and Fun Facts
00:00:53
Speaker
Andy Franzy, born and raised in Texas.
00:01:00
Speaker
Jeff Mangan, he knows all the numbers from Japan. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. Some say he did this by simple misdirection, while others know it was by cunning and guile.
00:01:15
Speaker
By letting you always know he was just right there, with yet another fantasy football trade offer, or by intentionally leaving the most points on his bench while still maintaining a top-four place in the standings, or by calmly sending in the cutest voicemail messages so no one will ever suspect him.
00:01:33
Speaker
When you least suspect it, he will rise up to sweep away the field and smash the league to his will. But don't worry, sweet listener. Today, no, today we have but sweet and kind Brian on the show. No, no, we won't have Jarrett on the show for a few more weeks.

00:05:49
Speaker
and And I'm not Googling it right now. Sure. Well, we could we could play our our advertiser while we're finding that. I got you. I got you i got They picked their matchup of the week based on team rankings to highlight the most competitive, high-impact matchup.
00:06:11
Speaker
It's made by Yahoo Fantasy apps, Logic, and it cannot be manually changed by league managers. The chosen matchup gets special promotion across the app when the winner receives a special badge.

Thanks, Menards. Yeah. for that Wow. one Brian, you ever been to a Menards?
00:08:41
Speaker
I don't think I have. no No. Are a big NASCAR fan? They ain't round here.
00:08:50
Speaker
Yeah, you like NASCAR, Brian? um not Not particularly, but I ah have watched a little bit now that they have some that like don't just go in circles.
00:09:02
Speaker
I find those little more interesting. but um Well, the short track one in the Coliseum, that's a pretty cool watch.
00:09:13
Speaker
and so I don't know. I guess I've watched a little bit, but. Grandson or the great-grandson that drives NASCAR?
00:09:22
Speaker
What? So there's a Menards car, and it's a Menard that's actually in the driver. Wow. Nice. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks, Jeff, and thanks, Menards.
Game Recaps and Bidding Strategies
00:09:33
Speaker
Yep. Our last game of the week was Ecom versus Namok, and it all came down. to monday night those of you on the discord following the channel uh i don't know it was a real nail-biter for me um were you guys watching this one come down to it yeah no it was uh watching to see if there would be any uh kneel downs right in there um because didn't you can have mariotta going
00:10:09
Speaker
Yeah. You can head Mariota projected at 15.05 and I, I took the under, I was correct. 13.32. Yeah. yeah but, but, but Mahomes, Mahomes needed like, what?
00:10:25
Speaker
Two passes. 10 more yards? Yeah. but What? One or just a couple passes and he would have, yeah. He would have sealed it. Right. Right.
00:10:35
Speaker
That was an exciting one. I think that was our closest matchup of the week yet. And it doesn't, I guess it was picked because Kamen was six and one. Sorry. Namak was six and one.
00:10:47
Speaker
And it didn't matter. His team name.
00:10:52
Speaker
I'm just saying, cause he's up against Ecom. So, Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So since it was a, you know, someone in first or second place, got some, I think that's how they're doing it based on the,
00:11:05
Speaker
Google search.
00:11:08
Speaker
And now Kevin's last two in a row. More on that later. Right? Right? Right. Correct. Actually, let's just do more on it now. Jeff, is there a pod curse?
00:11:23
Speaker
I think there is. um I think that people play against me and then they don't win ever again.
00:11:36
Speaker
Yeah, that's what it seems like. um who is Who is currently podcursed?
00:11:43
Speaker
Matt.
00:11:45
Speaker
Yep. ah Matt, Cammon, and um Tim, right? Tim lost. Has he lost since? 501st.
00:11:57
Speaker
he's on ah He's on a two-game losing streak. Yep. Yep. Okay. Tim's termss the loser. Yep. Tom. tom But what about fantasy football?
00:12:09
Speaker
Tom.
00:12:14
Speaker
Yeah, I should shoot as many shots at the two-time winner as I can. ah tom Tom has lost ever since being on the show. Brian, you heard that episode, I'm sure.
00:12:27
Speaker
Of course. And who else? Kegel. Kegel.
00:12:35
Speaker
How's he doing? He had been losing until he ran into the buzzsaw known as the shithouse. So maybe it was, what's that mean? the the The pod curse lasts like three weeks maybe? Yeah, that sounds right.
00:12:55
Speaker
Okay. I don't like the sounds of this. Matt, hey, this has nothing to do with you, Brian. We would never invite you on the show. ah Matt, you should be coming out of it any minute now.
00:13:07
Speaker
Yep. Just pull that nose up, Matt.
00:13:14
Speaker
Followed by um Nick and then Tom and then Cam. And it'll end it'll end soon enough. Thanks for being on the show. Yeah. We're not tweaking the numbers at all.
00:13:27
Speaker
Speaking of, where is Tom?
00:13:31
Speaker
don't know.
00:13:33
Speaker
Brian? So what?
00:13:38
Speaker
Tune in next week for Tom Watch 2025, where we ask the question, where is Tom? ah Question number three.
00:13:48
Speaker
Tyrone Tracy Jr. was a pretty big fab event this week, wouldn't you say, Brian? Yeah, I'd say. A little bit bigger than I thought. little bigger than you thought. Me too.
00:14:04
Speaker
ah What was... ah Jeff, we'd like you to read to lead the roundtable here because you're the one on this show didn't bid. and I did. You did? Yeah.
00:14:16
Speaker
I only saw four bidders. Okay. What did you bid, Jeff? It $3 or $4. Oh, that's why. there There wasn't enough room.
00:14:30
Speaker
can Can we see the full the full list of bidders, or do they only show the first four losers? thought it would show everyone. Yeah, it appears they show four. but kind of I would love to see everyone, 13 teams, failing to get them, but it only shows the top four.
00:14:52
Speaker
Yeah. So, Jeff, you bid three or four dollars. Yeah. Do you think you had a chance? um I mean, obviously, if i I must have but i bid a dollar or two below what I bid on a whoever I got.
00:15:10
Speaker
Well, you know who you didn't get? Tez Johnson. Yeah. Well, didn't get that one either. um Yeah.
00:15:21
Speaker
No. So I bid, I bid, I think four or $5. um And then you bid $25. Yeah. Phil bid $26. Yeah. yeah phil bid twenty six dollars um Zach bid $26, but he had the higher waiver priority, so higher up on the list.
00:15:47
Speaker
And then, Andy, you bid $30. You probably felt like you had a pretty strong bid coming in there. And um then Jared came in with a $54 bid.
00:15:59
Speaker
Blew us out of the water. Yeah. i saw I thought he'd be worth it for $30, but I didn't think he'd be worth it for $30. over 50 time will tell.
00:16:13
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, that's a pretty, ah non-functional offense. My, my concern was that Aaron spend all this money on Tracy jr. And then New York would go and trade for, you know, competitive running back to take touches away. So,
00:16:34
Speaker
Well, in his first three starts, he got 4.5 points, 13.7 points, and 4.6 points. So, ah and that's with, you know, a decent backup running back at that time.
00:16:50
Speaker
So, he's got some room to grow, I guess. All right. That's the big news on the fab front. Now it's time for Mjolnir Minute.
00:17:08
Speaker
You have your stopwatch ready? Of course.
00:17:15
Speaker
Brian, did you watch the Vikings game this week?
00:17:19
Speaker
I can't say anything more because I wouldn't want to put you guys over time. It was, ah you know, on Amazon. um That Amazon broadcast keeps getting better and better.
00:17:31
Speaker
They have more angles than a normal Sunday broadcast. Yeah.
00:17:39
Speaker
ah Yeah, it was on Amazon. So you had to have Amazon Prime. Jeff, does a steaming pile of dog shit look better the more camera angles you have?
00:17:51
Speaker
Yeah, especially when it comes to your house via drone. It's pretty cool. You're like, oh, more sweet. Yeah. Yeah, they're they're bad. They're not good.
00:18:02
Speaker
ah Yeah, Carson returns from whence he came. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the big the big news is that he had a season-ending shoulder injury two weeks ago and decided to play through it for two weeks um because, don't know, in plan.
00:18:23
Speaker
Probably because he's hoping the KOC effect reinvigorates his career like it did Sam Darnold, but to get there. Yeah, I don't know what the plan was there.
00:18:37
Speaker
Hey, do you think Matt's meme was accurate?
00:18:41
Speaker
ah Which meme are we talking about? Antonio Brown taking off his shirt and running away from the Steelers. So thanks for for Justin Jefferson?
00:18:53
Speaker
Yeah. No, I don't think so. But ah
00:19:00
Speaker
yeah, I don't know.
00:19:03
Speaker
We'll see. We'll see. We got a couple weeks to to see if i if JJ is worthy of being and the NFL.

00:20:49
Speaker
What's the deal? Yeah, you know, I've had the sofritas. I think it's pretty decent, but I'm also a cheapskate. And if you get just the veggies, ah then your guac is free.
00:21:01
Speaker
If you order sofritas or any like meat or anything, then yeah they charge extra for the guac. But yeah you I get free guac on mine. On my veggie.
00:21:14
Speaker
Don't you want the the extra protein, bro?

So I just remember that like back in our old apartment, we like well when we had cable, like it was on in the evenings and I found myself liking it and watching it regularly. I probably watched at least a season somewhere in the middle.
00:28:42
Speaker
um I didn't like watch it from the beginning through or anything, but I think I stopped watching it because we bought a house and ah couldn't afford cable anymore.
00:28:54
Speaker
So i just stopped watching TV at that point and, know, never shirkled back. Bought a house, dropped house. Yeah. Yeah. You filled the house shaped void.

Dude. i was trying to think of I was trying to think of the questions ahead of time and make sure I had an answer. i totally forgot about this one. hey I don't know. drop that just If you want the point, drop it on the podcast channel. The AWOL Nation is an awesome band.
00:30:07
Speaker
at like because I think you found one person who agrees with you at least ten times. Well, yeah.
00:30:16
Speaker
I guess so. Jeff, that wasn't loud enough. um on No, no, non la and no, no, no. What? That answer sucked.
00:30:25
Speaker
Just like AWOL Nation sucks. Oh, see? Unpopular opinion. Come on, you're proving me right. Give me that point. Give me that point. no That has been... Has anyone else on this podcast listened to more than one album?
00:30:40
Speaker
Come on. I haven't listened to more than one song. Yeah. Give me that point. I didn't know they had more than one song. One more point. Hey, Jeff, how much stoppage time do we have?
00:30:53
Speaker
Um... Can we have like eight minutes? Yeah, it looks like we have have a solid five. Okay. ah for For injuries. Okay.
00:31:04
Speaker
I stepped him in at least once. That was a good 40 seconds right there. um Yeah, that yellow card earlier. That's a minute. For every yellow card, right?
00:31:17
Speaker
Right. Looking ahead. Oh, that's been five questions. Thank you, Brian. Thank you for playing.
00:31:25
Speaker
Five questions.
00:31:29
Speaker
Five questions.
00:31:32
Speaker
um If you can convince one person on the podcast channel to listen to an ALNation album and give their honest feedback, then we'll give you that point. Okay? no I didn't know they released albums, but ah here we are. That's what bands tend to do.
Fantasy Football Matchup Preview
00:31:53
Speaker
2025. It's time for the Game of the Week preview. Matchup of the Week preview. As is the... Oh, that's nice.
00:32:04
Speaker
As is with Standard, um we got we got the top two teams facing off against each other. Funk and 7-1 and 6-2 respectively.
00:32:17
Speaker
So obviously this is the matchup of the week, right? No questions there. Nick finally got the Tom off his back. um So I guess we could have answered, where is Tom? Last week with ah Nick Thunker's back.
00:32:34
Speaker
ah But he's been taken loose. um Cam, as we mentioned at the top of the show, is riding a two-game cold streak. ah The projection separation of two and eight hundredths of a point gives the slight edge to Thunk.
00:32:52
Speaker
Is this a championship preview? I think it is. Wow. Jeff's already picking the two teams in the championship. What do you say about that, Brian, as you sit in, what is it, fourth place, third place?
00:33:07
Speaker
I think you're wrong, guys. ah think this is Pug Life's year. Oh, you too, do you? We'll see. All right. That's been um the matchup of the week preview. Brian, you know why you're on the show this week, don't you?
00:33:24
Speaker
Oh, yes. All right. So you minute let's get some thoughts on on how you um how you bested Def Jeff here, guys. hi it You know what? It was a close one.
00:33:39
Speaker
and ah what was it? Going into Monday night, all my guys had played. Jeff had Debo and i was sweating it a little cause I was checking the, cause I checked ah Debo's score history and he's either, he's either two point Debo or like 20 point Debo. I'm like, which one's going to show up? Right.
00:34:01
Speaker
Jeff got two point Debo. It wasn't great. Is it based on who's playing quarterback that night or not? It probably matters. Yeah.
00:34:13
Speaker
Mary, Mary Yoda sucks. So. Oh, yeah. I walked away with the dub. And, you know, I'm going to make it two weeks in a row.
00:34:26
Speaker
Do you know how many teams Jeff would have beaten this past week, Brian? I didn't look, but he was he's got to be up there. Ten.
00:34:38
Speaker
Yeah. Jeff, I'm so sorry. That happened. Pug Life Powerhouse. second Second time this season. Highest scoring loser.
00:34:50
Speaker
Highest scoring loser. Yeah, that takes us right into it. Yeah, Brian, what how are you gonna what what are you going to eat for breakfast after you lose to the Dart Horse?
00:35:05
Speaker
Who's on a three-game win streak right now? Hmm. Um, I don't know. Probably overnight oats, cold and probably, probably. I don't know.
00:35:18
Speaker
Yeah. Something. What do, what do old people eat? Cause I'm going to be like 82 years old when I lose to dart horse. ah Oh yeah. Eat grape nuts. Like my dad.
00:35:33
Speaker
You need hard teeth for those. Yeah. yeah Gotta let them sit in that milk for an hour. Yeah. Yeah, those are like overnight oats. Seriously.
00:35:45
Speaker
Okay, we're approaching the end of stoppage time. So we're going to rattle through some some awards updates, Brian. um Jump in wherever you...
00:35:57
Speaker
Give it to him. I'm just waiting to hear my name. Just a... Come on, somewhere. While looking at this, set Andy, you have to remember that Nick Kegel left 9.6 points on the bench this week.
00:36:10
Speaker
He did not have an optimized roster.
00:36:15
Speaker
He did not have an optimized roster? Right. And, okay, I'm looking at something... I'm trying to remember. Okay. Are you saying that with 163 points, yeah he could have scored over 170? Yes.
00:36:36
Speaker
yes yeah
00:36:40
Speaker
And if you look even further, she did not have the highest score of the week.
00:36:48
Speaker
The highest score for the week goes to... Nick Thunker. la la For the week? You mean for the season?
00:37:01
Speaker
For the week. Like, no, Thunker had the highest individual scoring player. Okay. And yet, she got... Yeah.
00:37:12
Speaker
yeah Okay, thanks. We're supposed to be moving more quickly here. um Let's see what we got for for most points four.
00:37:26
Speaker
it is still Thunk. Still Thunk. He's got a lead of about 40 points against still Zach.
00:37:37
Speaker
Still Zach. You know, Jeff, I couldn't help but notice that yourre your points four are pretty good. Yeah. It doesn't matter if your points four are pretty good. The only thing that matters is if your wins and losses are pretty good.
00:37:58
Speaker
Jeff, your sixth place points four. ah don't have,
00:38:05
Speaker
you know, just got to do better every week.
00:38:11
Speaker
You got to do the Alka-Seltzer foaming mouth thing and score some intimidation points. Like in Little Giants. To move out of 10th place? Yeah. Biggest blowout was, of course, Cagle over Matt.
00:38:28
Speaker
Not only is Matt on a four-game losing streak, five? Five-game losing streak. But he's also been in the involved in the biggest blowout two weeks in a row.
00:38:40
Speaker
Can we just... If we if we keep talking about him, you think he'll finally call us in call in again?
00:38:49
Speaker
I think it's possible.
00:38:52
Speaker
Yeah, we can only help. Let's see. What else we got? Chris, did you know that you have the number two defense in the league? What? You've had the number two performance from defenses in the league.
00:39:07
Speaker
You've also had the number two performing wide receivers group. And if you aggregate your wide receivers, running backs, and tight ends, you're youre number three.
00:39:21
Speaker
Jeff, where can our listeners find such useful tidbits?
00:39:27
Speaker
Um, that's good question, Andy. And I would tell them to check

00:39:52
Speaker
Thanks to Jeff for all the hard work behind the scenes. but Brian, be wary. Andy has the number 13 scoring defense in the league. So there's only one way for him to go, and that's up.

00:46:33
Speaker
He's not being disrespectful to the Mandalorian. That's not a guy you want to piss off, huh? Yeah. Is he going to have a little Grogu? ah He has one, but he doesn't think he wants to carry it around because he wants to get more candy.
