The 2nd Round Showdown: A Tale of Triumph or Tragedy
In this episode, we'll discuss the second round of the playoffs and how our limp-dick lineup managed to limp its way to victory.
In this not-so-wild episode, we'll take a closer look at the studs who didn't quite perform as expected, like the infamous Jamar Chase and the not-so-sweet AJ Brown. We'll also share our thoughts on the Steelers, Jets, Commanders, and other teams that left us feeling less than satisfied.
Get ready for a not-so-wild ride as we discuss the Lions vs. Vikings, Cowboys vs. Dolphins, and Ravens vs. Niners games and why they're going to be a wild ride. A word of caution for CMC owners: we talk about the potential risks of Christian McCaffrey being benched if the Niners wrap things up early.

#Week16 #2ndroundplayoffs
[:[00:00:16] I mean, I leave that for him. This guy, he's a little bit of a guru, a little bit of a savant that way pops off with all kinds of weird stuff. But what I am gonna say is if you guys didn't make it out of the first round of the playoffs, chances are you done fucked up. I mean, there's a good chance that you guys played some studs and let's face it, there's a lot of guys that just shit the bed for you, and I don't blame you.
[:[00:00:55] Hell, everybody else is feasting over there. Why not him? But he hasn't been. And I get it. You gotta play your studs. You gotta play your studs. You gotta play your studs. But you know what, you're not to blame for that one. Listen, I had him in my lineup. He shit the bed for me. So I mean, guys, AJ Brown, AJ Brown didn't get Dick.
[:[00:01:35] By the way, guys, I crushed RW King, and you know what? It felt good. Just gonna say that. Throwing that out there, it felt good. Although he did spank me to eliminate me from playoffs in a different fantasy league. So I guess, you know, tit for tat type of thing. But looking forward to, uh, week 16, second round of the playoffs, if you guys were fortunate to be able to make it and get into the playoffs.
[:[00:02:19] I took a flyer, put in pka Nacua over Jamar Chase and Puka blew up. I mean, let's, let's face it, he blew up for me, 42 points in my league, who, our scoring's a little bit different, but in most PPR scoring leagues, he got you some massive fantasy points last night. You know, 160 what? Four yards and a tudy.
[:[00:02:57] And guess what? It's gonna get you where it's going to get you. I. And nobody's gonna fault you for that. So I certainly don't, okay? We may be talking shit here from time to time, but you know what? It's all in good jest. It's all in good fun. Fuck it.
[:[00:03:24] I mean, they're talking about firing the head coach for a reason. So I wouldn't play anybody in there. I wouldn't touch anybody from the Jets. I wouldn't touch anybody from the commanders. I mean, Sam Howell maybe. But, uh, the Jets actually still have a pretty decent defense, so . You know that matchup, I don't know about that.
[:[00:04:07] I do expect a lot of points coming out of that game, and Ravens Niners should be a pretty hell of a good game. a pretty hell of a good game. A A lot of fantasy points should be coming out of that. Guys, I will say this one thing, if you are a CMC owner, . I would be nervous because if, and I say if, if the Niners do just wrap everything up, they play and they ball out this week against the Ravens and you do advance into the finals.
[:[00:04:55] And if that's the case, you're gonna have a tough go at your championship game, but I'm sure you guys will figure it out. You'll get creative. But listen, there's gonna be plenty of guys out there grabbing some points, getting you some hella points out there.
[:[00:05:24] Anyway, guys, that's all I got for you. Nothing, uh, too groundbreaking this week, but just wanted to kind of throw it out there and say, Hey, cheers to everyone who made it to the second round. We here at Fantasy Island. Wish you guys all the best. And since Christmas Day is almost upon us, uh, if you'd like to kind of, uh, pay it back and get the guys at Fantasy Island, something nice for Christmas.
[:[00:06:08] We love all of you guys. So for the Fantasy Island crew, Bombo, our W King, I'm Sweet T and we are out.
