NFL Trade Activity Discussion
00:00:45
Speaker
I hope You you sucked last week. I hope your team sucked. I hope you sucked and That's all I gotta say cuz I sucked uh
00:00:57
Speaker
Week eight, we're going into week eight. It's almost the halfway point of the season. I know I've been ramping up my trade activity. It's now or never, people. Now or never. So do it now or do it never. That's what that phrase means. Now or never. If you never knew, now you do.
Taye Dizzy & Player Performance Review
00:01:23
Speaker
You know?
00:01:25
Speaker
There's been some happenings. Last week I put Taye Dizzy on blast. And of course it didn't age well. Juan Dale, as he corrected me as his pronunciation. Juan Dale.
00:01:39
Speaker
Uh, did okay. And Rondale only had like one catch for 32 yards. So I'm not sweating it. I still think Rondale is the far better, um, guy to own. Wandale caught a break. Kadarius, Tony got traded to the chiefs. So it doesn't really give him too much competition. Kenny Galladay is still there. So who knows what that means when he is or isn't healthy, but.
00:02:09
Speaker
the Giants just don't score a lot of points and they run that offense through Saquon Barkley still Rondale on the other hand Still got the air raid attack offense Taye Dizzy still like Rondale Rondale over Wandale Rondale doesn't have to do too much when the defense scores two touchdowns which Cardinals defense doesn't score points. So That was a weird game and I still am very bullish
00:02:39
Speaker
Ron Dale going forward Just had to clear the air on that one As far as headlines
DK Metcalf's Field Exit & Injury Status
00:02:50
Speaker
You know, DK Metcalf got carted off a few weeks ago and I, my heart sunk because I thought he was injured, but it turned out he just had a poop. He said his clinched walk to the bathroom wasn't going to make it. So he got a cart there instead to avoid pooping his pants. He got carted off again this weekend, which is very frustrating to understand what the hell happened.
00:03:17
Speaker
because when I would read the comments for anyone that actually I was watching the game, everyone was just making poop jokes like, Oh, he's just gonna, he just has to go poop again. Don't worry about it. He's just taking the cart back to the toilet. It's all good. And like just 20 people making the same joke. Turns out he actually did get injured, but not a serious injury. He won't have surgery, but he might miss this week. He might not, who knows?
00:03:47
Speaker
Anyway, so sigh of relief for DK Metcalf getting carted off, not due to poop related needs.
NFL Social Media Insights & Antonio Brown at Donda Academy
00:03:56
Speaker
Uh, I didn't have a ton of material or headlines to really talk about when I hit record on this little podcast episode a couple of minutes ago. But what I did do is feed, run through the Instagram feed and go story by story by story to see if
00:04:14
Speaker
anything worthwhile pops up from any of these NFL stars that I follow. For the most part, it's just here's a picture, here's a picture, here's a picture and nobody cares or like a quick little clip from practice or something. What did pop up, Antonio Brown. Is kind of, it's kind of creepy because at first, all right, he's a rapper now. And you just hear that.
00:04:45
Speaker
Do your dance, baby. Put that shit on. You just hear that song over and over on all this stuff. But this one, I thought he was like recording a music video. He's walking around with a black hoodie on. And he's in this warehouse. And he's walking through like, there's just tons of people wearing black hoodies. A row of people he's walking through.
00:05:12
Speaker
And they're all like doing hymns. You just hear like, oh, that type of stuff just going on in the background. And it's like, what the fuck is this? And I know, I know he's buddies with your boy Kanye. Everyone's least favorite person these days.
00:05:36
Speaker
Kanye, and I read some of the other headlines. I read headlines almost every morning. Shout out to the Morning Brew newsletter. Kanye started his own academy, Donda Academy. And I kind of, I put this all together in my head where I'm thinking, this has to be this frickin' Donda Academy.
00:06:03
Speaker
that these people pay a ridiculous amount of money to go to that and they don't get any credits for. And sure as shit, I googled up Donda uniforms and obviously they're all black, but it took me a while because you don't see a lot of hoodies. But apparently they have a basketball team because the basketball team had this logo which matched the one AB Antonio Brown was wearing.
00:06:34
Speaker
So, Antonio Brown went to Donda Academy, and all this video shows is just him walking around in a warehouse with a hoodie, a Donda uniform hoodie, with all these Donda, what do you call them, school children? I don't know. People that go to Donda, just himmin', doing the ha's, hymns and ha's. You know what I mean. The little opera, the, whoa, whoa, whoa, that thing.
00:07:03
Speaker
Which is so I don't know. It's just creepy. Follow Antonio Brown. That's all I got to say. If you want to see that one, a little weird to see what goes on. Donna Academy, the latest and trendiest cult near you. Full blown cult vibes. It's freaky. It's terrifying. It's it's nuts. That's what I got.
Fantasy Football Week 7 Recap & Analysis
00:07:27
Speaker
Last week, week seven. Team did not do good.
00:07:34
Speaker
team where we lost, we lost. So that brings me to four and three record on the year four and three, all time winnings, five bucks. Here's the thing though, I scroll through and I do the $5 single entry double up contest every single week, except this time I got duped.
00:07:55
Speaker
And it was like a $5 single entry tournament. I just saw a $5 single entry and just assumed. I did notice before kickoff and I said, eh, fuck it. I'll just let it ride. I let it ride and I lost. I'm not certain I would have won in the $5 double up.
00:08:19
Speaker
Just because double ups are actually pretty competitive. Um, I've been in a double up before where I've cashed in a tournament with the same lineup that didn't cash in a double up. So do what you will with that information. So in this tournament, I lost. I was kind of close to cashing.
00:08:42
Speaker
I probably would have needed like another five to 10 points or something, but I lost with 144.62 points. The highest point total I had in a loss this year. And let's find out how that happened. So at quarterback had Jimmy Garoppolo.
00:09:02
Speaker
versus Kansas City, like this price point, low fives for ya, and he did good for ya as well. 21.3 points, 21.32 points, exceeding his point total. At running back at Josh Jacobs, and so did everybody else, he was majority owned. He got the hat trick, three touchdowns for 39.5 fantasy points, exceeding his point total, so a good start.
00:09:31
Speaker
Then Damien Pierce, my other running back. Great call by me, just didn't pan out. Damien did not get a touchdown, and he fell like eight yards shy of that 100 yard rushing bonus. So it would have been another three points. He just got his expectation points, 15.7. This is what killed me. Amandrah Saint Brown.
00:10:00
Speaker
He got injured in the first fricking quarter. And here's what pisses me off even more about it. I am an AS, we'll just call him ASB, Antonio, I'm on Ross St. Brown ASB. I'm a hater, not a big fan. I believe in the person. I like the guy from a fantasy perspective. No, thanks.
00:10:26
Speaker
I'd put him in the same category as Deontay Johnson. For me, I've never really been interested. I feel like they just kind of seem like average athletes that are thrown into situations with above average volume opportunity. So they're only good when they have those opportunities, which is pretty much everybody in the NFL. Obviously, if they're below average dudes that get opportunity and fail, so they're slightly above average.
00:10:55
Speaker
But in any other offense where someone was more athletic or talented, they would just be a role player. So I hate on ASB from a fantasy perspective, and I had to force myself to put him in the lineup. He was pretty expensive too, like over 7k. But I said, fuck it. I'm just going to attack the Cowboys in the slot.
00:11:20
Speaker
The Cowboys are going to put up points and ASB is going to be the guy. So I went with it. He's going to get the volume. He got injured and I was pissed off. So 1.4 points that killed me. Um, everybody else did CD lamb. I did too. I don't know why I just seemed like a good idea and I could afford them. So I'm like, why not?
Kenneth Walker's Performance & Future Predictions
00:11:39
Speaker
Bad choice on my part. 10.6 points went below expectation there. Um, Chris Godwin.
00:11:48
Speaker
I can't get away from this guy. He keeps getting the targets. He's a target machine. Just hasn't really been able to turn that. This is a guy that actually is extremely athletic, off the charts. It's crazy. Still kind of working his way back from injury maybe. Maybe that's what's going on. But just an elite athlete not putting
00:12:12
Speaker
The points on the board with all the volume opportunity all the targets thrown his way. So who knows what the hell is going there? He got 11.5 points. So wide receivers sucked Obviously ASB CD and Chris Godwin, which was a good chunk of the salary from an overall perspective and I had a lot of stars in this lineup because I paid down for Foster Moreau and
00:12:38
Speaker
One of the cheapest Titans, not as cheap as Dolch Dolchich Dolchich. I don't know how to say his name, Titan, Ricky Titan for the Broncos. He was minimum price and he got like over 10 points. Moreau got five point eight. A lot of people owned that Bronco Titan and I was not one of them and I should have been. I after that one up. And then another high owned guy, Kenneth Walker.
00:13:07
Speaker
31.8 points. The guy is hot. He's so hot right now. He's just killing it. Uh, again, one of the best running backs in the nation. Hard to keep them out of your lineup and draft Kings still isn't, um, pricing him up where he needs to be. Like this is a couple of weeks in a row and even, I mean, hitting two weeks in a row still has pretty cheap price tag next week.
00:13:34
Speaker
hard to Adam, not Adam and that one. Um, and I want you all to do bad every single week. So I'm not going to give you any advice, but I will leak this one. Uh, Kenneth was an auto lock for me. Uh, this upcoming week has a 60, $6,500 price tag, which fuck yeah. Lock it up. Um, auto lock first, the giants at home.
Fantasy Football Strategy & Weather-Based Decisions
00:14:00
Speaker
Hell yeah.
00:14:01
Speaker
Here's the deal. There's like an over 90% chance like 93 or 5 ish percent chance of rain
00:14:10
Speaker
the entire game outdoor in Seattle, ring games. Um, you can say, well, there's nothing else to do. We can't throw the ball on the rain game. You got to run, run, run, run, run. And that's true. But guess what? The defense keys in on the run, run, run, run, run. So expecting very low point total in that game and with high ownership and a lot of risk, I'm actually going to stay away from Walker next week.
00:14:39
Speaker
And I'm feeling really good about the lineup. I do have in store for y'all. I expect it to be another winning week. We'll get ourselves to five and three. Hopefully next week I had jets at defense. If you care, they got seven points. Not too bad for us. Uh, I think a lot. Yeah. Pretty much everyone had the jets last week with Russell Wilson out. So there you have it.
00:15:03
Speaker
You know we got 144 point total loss, but we'll do better next week. You know what it is I Forgot to click so until next week bad luck everybody
Podcast Conclusion & Playful Rap
00:15:20
Speaker
Well, I'm magnificent, kind of on top of it Sort of crushing through four quarters, not quite right in the border Just an average bitch who's gonna be paid Back my money that I already made Cause I'm gonna come out even in the end Keep my money and only time I'll spend Only back, talk, smack, hop, track We'll slack, give, smack, hop, snack, stream on top
00:15:43
Speaker
I'm no ham, share what's on the ground Do it all, then small enough and negate Or terribly great, if I think I could I might be rude, I might forget, but I'll be consistently murdered for sure
