Fantasy Football Today - LAST-MINUTE Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em, Advice, Actives/Inactives & Q/A! (12/28 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Starting point is 00:00:00 You know, some trips are just better when you can really unplug. Spend time with family, see friends, or hit the course with the guys on our yearly golf trip. This year, me and the boys stayed in a home on Airbnb, which happened to be a guest favorite, and it was right on the course. We could walk straight to tee off every morning, and it was just a short stroll to the local shops, bars, and restaurants. Staying in a place on Airbnb gives you plenty of room to spread out, cozy living areas to hang out in, and all the privacy you need. Staying somewhere like that makes everything feel more like a home than a hotel, and you get a real feel for the neighborhood. I'm already planning on how to go bigger and better next year. Luckily, there's so many options to choose from on Airbnb.

Starting point is 00:00:43 So whether it's family, friends, or golf getaway, my biggest tip is to check out Airbnb, check out their guest favorites, which are the most loved homes on Airbnb, and you'll be amazed at what you find. And we are ready to win some fantasy championships. Let's set those lineups right now on FFT Express. Welcome to your week 17 start or sit. Remember, we have two hours of this from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern YouTube.com slash fantasy football today. Join us there. Get your question asked and answered. Although that does not, that is not a guarantee.

Starting point is 00:01:17 No money back guarantee there. All right, Heath, what's going on? Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, we get a lot of questions during that show, but we'll try our best. Let's go through the weather. We got some weather concerns today. What are we looking at? it looks like the two biggest concerns are buffalo where it's not that windy a little windy but could just rain through the entire game and possibly downpour for big portions of it the other one is cleveland where again it's a little rainy it's a little windy i don't think there's anything that's like stay away or awful not great weather in new york Cincinnati or Tennessee either but it's it's the type of weather that i mostly just ignore unless it causes the line to full.

Starting point is 00:02:00 It hasn't so far? So looking right now, we've got the Buffalo one would be the one I would be most concerned about. And it's still 44.5, which is very close to where it's been for most of the week. Looking at Cleveland, it's still 34.5, which is terribly low. But that's because it's the Steelers and the Browns, not because of the weather. Yeah, I don't see huge movements in the lines based on weather. It really stinks. I mean, it puts you in a bind if you have Jalen Hertz and Josh Allen.

Starting point is 00:02:34 I guess you're just probably going to end up starting them. I don't, I would not really consider sitting Josh Allen for anybody. I mean, okay, I take that back. I'd start Matthew Stafford and Joe Burrow over Allen. I've got Hertz at QB9. Right. So if you picked up Trevor Lawrence, if you also have Jacoby Preset, I'd rather start those guys. Okay.

Starting point is 00:02:55 All right. Let's go to the injuries here. Trayvion Henderson cleared concussion protocol. What do you think about starting Trayvion? I'm going to. Oh, okay. I have a decision to make Trayvon Henderson versus Jalen Warren. How do you feel about that?

Starting point is 00:03:09 I would start Trayvon. Oh, okay. Heath guide me to a championship. Thank you. How about the fact that Mack Hollins is out? How weird is that? Well, it's, I mean, unfortunate for him. We also don't talk of Kashon Booty.

Starting point is 00:03:22 Last I saw, DeMario Douglas is still questionable. So, listen, it's been dangerous because we, We've been here a couple times before this season. But I'm viewing Stefan Diggs as a number two wide receiver that I want to start. I think Kyle Williams, especially if DeMario Douglas is out, Kyle Williams is a decent boom-bust flex, but not somebody I really want to start. Hunter Henry, a low-in, tight-in one.

Starting point is 00:03:48 Okay. Josh Allen's good to go, by the way, with the foot injury. But the big thing will be the Sunday night game. I don't know if people are really waiting on Ricky Pearsall. He's questionable. but George Kittle is going to test that foot out or that ankle out pregame and see what happens. They've got the bears on Sunday night. We're hoping this is a high-scoring fun game.

Starting point is 00:04:08 What are we doing about the, I guess, Pierce, so I can throw them in there and Kittle? So I have Kittle on one team that's in a championship, and I think what I'm doing is I picked up Joanne Johnson and I'm just going to play him. Now, I have Joanne Johnson ranked at Titan 6. so that's that's about as far down the rankings as I would go before I just try to pick up jank tangis and wait it out but there's a little bit of risk that listen kiddle says yeah I'm going to go and then he's out there and he's just not george kiddle there's also a little bit of risk that he's out and you start tangis and he catches two passes yeah so I think you kind of have to look at your matchup and see exactly how much upside you think you need although I know you hate doing that that but basically i've got mcbride fanon pitts joan johnson or the guys i would definitely start over him colston lovelins right behind them and he plays in the same game so you wouldn't have to make that decision if you if somebody was really sharp and took tangerous away from you and there's not

Starting point is 00:05:07 another good option then i think you go find one of the three rams and just hope they score a touchdown sure you could do that are you making a joke because that's what jack did to me took tangerous no i did not know that well i don't have kittle or anything but i i i'm just going to start tyler because I have him in Parkinson, whatever, just Tyler Warren. You know, I've done that before, and I've had it done to me before. And my experience, Adam, this makes me feel better about your chances of playing. Yeah, I know. My experience has been when people start doing this on championship week, they end up losing.

Starting point is 00:05:42 Oh, man, I got to tell you, Jamie took someone from Dave, to James Connor. In the podcast league? Yeah, he took James Connor from Dave, which is Dave's good luck player. and it just cracked it up. Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah. All right, we'll be right back with some more news items after this.

Starting point is 00:06:01 Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps. Now is the time to modernize Canadian laws so that adult smokers have information and access to better alternatives. By doing so, we can create lasting change. If you don't smoke, don't start.

Starting point is 00:06:20 If you smoke, quit. If you don't quit, change. Visit unsmoked.ca. Okay, also Sunday night, we got Romo Dunesay out, but Luther Burden going to play. Who do you like better? Luther Burden, who we did like better than DJ Moore before the injury, or DJ Moore?

Starting point is 00:06:37 I don't have them that far apart. I'm leaning towards DJ Moore just because I don't know if Luther Burden is fully 100%, and Moore has gone a bit of a heater right now. Seems to have developed a little better chemistry with Caleb Williams. So I've got DJ Moore, as a border line wide receiver 2, right around wide receiver 25. I've got burden at wide receiver 30.

Starting point is 00:06:58 So they're both high in number 3s, low in number 2s. Okay. We've got Devante Adams doubtful. Drake London questionable, but expected to play, right? We're thinking London's good to go. They say they think he's playing, so. Okay. And then we've got Chris Olavé questionable, but he's going to be good to go.

Starting point is 00:07:18 Let's talk about Marvin Harrison Jr. He's going to play, but again, limited snaps. This made me a little more confident in Michael Wilson. I've been really on the fence with him. We're going to get a ton of Michael Wilson questions. But what do you think about the Cardinals right now? I'm starting Michael Wilson is a top 15 wide receiver for me. And I'm viewing Marvin Harrison as a low-end boom-bust number three wide receiver.

Starting point is 00:07:41 I've got him, well, two guys who were both good yesterday. One a lot better than the other. I had him right between Christian Watson and Quentin Johnston. So that kind of tells you, I think, the range. I would start both bears over Marvin Harrison, Jr. Okay. Do we feel like we're going to get Dylan Sampson this week? Don't know this yet, but what do you think?

Starting point is 00:08:03 I have no lean. I've seen no real reporting on it. And like, no idea. If he plays, I'll probably have him somewhere between RB 25 and RB30. Okay. Harold Fanon is good to go, full go. Theo Johnson is out for the Giants. so are two offensive linemen.

Starting point is 00:08:23 On the other side of the ball, Max Crosby is out. I have any thoughts on Giants Raiders. It's going to be fantastic. Yeah. It's, I expect more surprise inactive. Somebody's going to get a hang nail this morning. Somebody is going to wake up and have a little itch in the back of their throat. It's going to be fascinating to watch the fourth quarter of this game.

Starting point is 00:08:48 Yeah, sure is. I'm going to put my Beckham jersey on today. just, you know, root for a loss. Not, I can root for a loss. Foster Morrow for the Saints is out, which we talked about on Beyond the Box score, is certainly not a bad thing, probably a good thing for Joanne Johnson.

Starting point is 00:09:03 Yeah, Seattle left tackle Charles crosses out. The Rams could be without two offensive linemen, and Sauce Gardner is going to play for the Colts. Does that change anything for Trevor Lawrence for you? I have not moved Trevor Lawrence, no. Okay, last thing here is the Steelers, with the Ravens winning yesterday, the Steelers have to win.

Starting point is 00:09:21 If the Steelers win today, they win the division. If they lose, they play next week for the division against the Ravens. So I don't have anything against the Steelers. I'm just rooting for them to lose because I want to see that showdown. The Rams, though, just for the last time, any concerns about them resting players? Because it could happen if Seattle and San Francisco both win. I mostly think that we're probably not going to be okay on that. It'd be pretty unique for a team to do that two weeks in a row.

Starting point is 00:09:48 Yeah, I think so too. That's where I'm leading. Okay, thank you very much, Heath, and thank you all for watching and listening, and we will talk to you at, at, oh, wait, I forgot to answer questions. I'm sorry. Let's go. I was wondering. Let's go. Preece Hall or Tyrone Tracy. I'll go Tracy. I need upside. Allen or Drake May, Kyle Williams or Dylan Samson? If Samson is active, I would go Samson, and I'll start Allen over Drake May. That is a one o'clock game, too, so that's good news. Start one. Tungis. Michael Mayer, Juan Johnson or Colson Loveland? I would just start Joanne Johnson. Tederoa McMillan or Alec Pierce?

Starting point is 00:10:30 It would be Tederoa McMillan for me. This is a funny one. Derek Henry or Trayvion Anderson? Yeah, I think he should probably go with Derek Henry. Well, what a game from Derek Henry. Unbelievable. Okay, what do I do with George Kittle? I have Loveland and Tongeson waivers.

Starting point is 00:10:49 Like, was Derek Henry actually involved in any of your championship games? I'm only in two, unfortunately, and no, he was not. I did not see him in any of mine either. What do I do with Kiddle? If you have Loveland, they play each other. So it's really easy. I would prefer Loveland over Taunge's if Kiddle was out. That's the question right there.

Starting point is 00:11:10 Okay. By the way, Derek Henry was in zero of the eight FFT open finals lineups. how about Brissette or Trevor Lawrence I think this is one of the toughest questions of the week I have them back to back they're separated by a tenth of a point I would go Brissette

Starting point is 00:11:33 Burrow in the high wind or Stafford I don't we're not looking at high wind there we're looking at wind but I don't know necessarily that it's going to be I mean I don't take my word for it I guess but like Brissette Lawrence is my QB4 and QB5 Stafford Borough is my QB1 and QB2 this week.

Starting point is 00:11:50 So congratulations. I'll go to Stafford. All right, everybody. We'll talk to you at 11 a.m. Eastern. For Heath, I'm Adam. See you later.
