Welcome to the Double I Show, Fantasy Island Fantasy Football edition. That's right guys, we're back at you again with another hot episode tonight. It's another big week in football guys. Yeah, a lot of shit popping off. A lot of shit going. We're gonna go ahead and get into it, man. We got, you know, we got a new little format going on.

So today, right now we're gonna do our fantasy match of the week. Our hell in the cell match is gonna be sweet. Versus Bombo. And what they're gonna do is they're gonna go ahead and give you a matchup on, the biggest fantasy matchup they thought of the week is gonna be the Chargers versus the Niners.

I don't give a shit. Who goes first, guys, go for it. Ding, ding.

All right. I'll go ahead and go first. I'm gonna take a lot of right hook swings at you Bombo. Let's go for quarterback situation. I got Jimmy Garoppolo with the San Francisco 49ers. Yes. He's not sexy. Yes, he's no Justin Herbert right now. I'm gonna give it to you on the passing yards. Herbert far exceeds him in passing yards in every statistical category for the most part, except when you think about it, Jimmy didn't start the season.

He came in, he was a backup type of situation, which shouldn't have happened. We all know that, but, He's got this team really rolling and he's only got two less touchdowns than Herbert on the season. Herbert's having a down year. Jimmy's kicking ass. He's had a couple yet. I mean, for Jimmy, I should say, he, he's not gonna be that electric guy.

He's not gonna be that runner. He is not gonna be that Justin Fields get you 200 yards rushing kind of guy. But you know what? He's making moves. He's keeping these guys in. And I think there's only been like a couple losses where they were actually out of the game. So I gotta, I gotta say my boy Jimmy, I'm gonna put him up against Herber every day because he just stacks those wins and he gets that team motivated.

What you got?

All right. hey, I agree with you. I agree with you that, in this matchup Justin Herbert, on a statistical. bad streak is just as good as Jimmy g playing his best football. But what I'm banking on is the Justin Herbert blow up game. We've, we've seen this guy get drafted within, like on some boards.

He was coming off the top, like upper cubies, so a lot of people put some, some high draft stock into him and they've just been waiting for him to, you know, give you that almost 500 yards passing five touch dart five touchdown game. He hasn't had the weapons that he usually has. I think the chargers are alive as far as playoff hopes.

You see the, you know, Denver and, and Las Vegas. They're not doing anything. so. He needs to get right. He needs to get right for fantasy owners, He needs to get right for the Chargers. And this looks like, we're gonna start to see the ascension of Justin Herbert in his potential for fantasy owners.

And I think it starts with this game. they're gonna, it's not gonna be a shootout that the, in the traditional, you know, 45 to 47 type game, the Niners are gonna try to hold the ball and Herbert's gonna. Have limited opportunities to score, and I think he will. He's gonna have big, big plays, big chunk plays, and when it comes set and done, we think we're gonna get our vintage Justin Herbert game that we've been waiting for.

And no matter what, that's gonna be better than what Jimmy G can put up.

All right. Bomb. But well, okay, here guys. This is the deal, man. You guys come in there, sleep, walking. I don't see any haymakers. I don't even see jabs right now. So you guys gotta start swinging, man. Sweet tea, man. You know what? Hey, put your big boy pants on, bro. Take a couple little pops. You know what I mean?

Don't worry about getting hit back, Doug. All right, Nobody's punch proof. Okay, so let's talk about running backs now. All right, let's talk about running backs and see how you guys do there cuz both you guys suck my ass on that one. All right? Right now it's a draw, dude, and both you guys are staying in the corner until you guys can come out fucking swinging all.

So go ahead and talk about running backs, guys. Bombo, you go.

All right. Well let's talk about the running backs. That's what it's really about. This is the marquee. This is that right hook versus that left hook. This is, this is big shot versus big shot. I'm gonna go with the new Christian McCaffrey. You know, I know that Christian McCaffrey's still around, and he found some new hope on the nines, but the reality is he hasn't been around, healthy, but Eckler has just taken the reins.

Eckler's been a steady number one pick at an RB one for everybody. What he does. Catching the ball is spectacular. We're talking about a running back that can get 20 catches a game, a hundred yards, and just receptions. and I don't think the linebackers and safety's gonna be able to keep up with them.

He eats these guys alive. Some of these bigger, linebackers are playing these covered two schemes. and I just like eckler's. Where he is at in that offense. There's a lot of mouths to feed in San Francisco, whereas the offense is kind of going through Eckler this year and it's leading to wins and it's leading to big numbers for his fantasy owners.

And it's eckler here, right? We're not, we're not talking about, just some slouch. This is, this is a close one, but I'm gonna take Eckler just off of just what he can do as far as getting you fantasy points. He's gonna just get you all those catches. He's gonna be able to get you touchdowns. He's the goal line option.

Give me eckler all day over at Christian McCaffery.

T Well, that's what he's got. So what do you got, bro?

Fucking weak. Fucking weak. I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna see your eckler. I'm gonna raise you McCaffrey because you know what? McCaffrey is the real deal. He is the gold standard. He was on a shit team for his whole entire career, and now he's with the legitimate offense with the guru as his freaking head coach.

Just let me throw out a couple stats. Rushing yards on the year. And mind you, McCaffrey was with the dog shit team most of the year already 525 yards. Rushing to Eckler 4 27 and receiving McCaffrey barely misses the mark on receiving from Eckler 3 56 to 3 81. Get the fuck outta. If Eckler's at receiving Monster, Why isnt McCaffrey in that conversation?

He's barely missing the mark on that. He's crushing him, crushing him by a hundred yards in rushing. Okay, and when was the last time that Eckler actually did the trifecta? Ran for a touchdown. Cut for a touchdown. Pass for a touchdown. Get the fuck outta here. And then who's the, who's the next up over there in, in, Charger Land?

Sony Michel. When was the last time Sony Michelle was actually relevant? What? High school? I mean, come on. We, The Niners have Elijah Mitchell coming back off. The IR probably gonna play. So that's a one two combination. Those Niners are not afraid of the Chargers. The Chargers D can't stop any kind of run.

They can't stop shit. So the Niners are kind of come out and they're just gonna start whooping that ass.

All right, dude. You're foaming at the mouth now. T you right. Calm down now. All right. Down boy. All right. Settle down trigger. All right, Bombo. Hey, you know he threw it back at you. You know what I mean? And I get it, man. You throw first, he comes back, you know what I mean? But I don't know. This is gonna be tough, bombo, cuz all I gotta say is you picked a tough team to really talk about receivers.

So we're gonna talk about receivers and t's gonna go first. So you're gonna come in, you're gonna be able to throw that last haymaker Bombo. Get it ready, buddy. So I think you need it for a knockout. I think you might need the knockout, you know what I mean? Just saying go for it.

All right, Bombo, I'm gonna give you two words. Deebo Samuels. I do believe that somebody called out that he is a must sit, and that week he blew the fuck up. This guy is on a different level. He's played seven games. He's freaking rushed for 130. And a touchdown. He's caught for 3 87 and two touchdowns, and that's, This is a down year for this guy, right?

And think about who his quarterback was for the first two games. Plus he's been hurt. Now he's coming back off of v i. So getting Deebo back, that's freaking huge. Then you got the guy who's leading the pack out of both of these teams when it comes to fantasy points. And that's Brandon. This guy, he's got almost 500 yards receiving.

Not stellar, but he still has over five, close to 500 yards receiving, but he's got four touchdowns. All right, So this guy, when it comes to fantasy points, he is the guy over there in San Francisco right now. Now, here's the thing though, Deebo, he gives you all kinds of different looks. So you don't know what he's gonna do.

You don't know if he's gonna be running the ball out of the backfield. You don't know if he's gonna be catching it. You just don't know what's gonna happen over there. They scheme like crazy for these two guys and they're always finding themselves open. And if you wanna start going deep into the type of receiving core that they have, they have Ray, Ray McLeod over there.

He's not lightening it up, but I mean, he's already got a touchdown on the years for a third option. So when you think about how deep you have to go, The Chargers have absolutely no core right now when it comes to receiving. You gotta go real deep like balls deep over there in charger land to just even find somebody to catch the fucking ball.

So I gotta tell you right now, you guys aren't looking pretty good. You guys are gonna be thrown to nobody. Start pulling dudes off of the stands that want up, you know, Just try to see if you can get into their suit

Okay. You're rambling now. Dude. You're rambling. You're Ram. See, look dude, that's, that's like piling on top of him, dude. You know, you get done with your stuff and then you just, you know, you, you see him on the ground and then you decide to do a haymaker fucking Hulk Hogan elbow. No, you do an elbow,

worse, he, he pulled out Ray Ray

That's what I'm saying, dude. Like, what was that all?

I poke as in the corner. You

Hey, Bombo. All I gotta say, man, is, is you need some help, man. And I don't know if the receivers can do it, but I'm hoping you can do this, brother. You're up receivers.

right, I hear you. I, I hear you, King. Well, this is, this is fantasy island. So let, I'm gonna, I'm not gonna talk, I'm not, can't go against the football players, the real football players, but this is fake football. And when it comes to fake football, give me value all day. That's what, that's what we all want, right?

Is value. So, Two guys, that are missing from this whole conversation are Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. Well, they've been missing for a while, so Justin Herbert had to do what he's gotta do. So they got a new number one and new number two, in Los Angeles. That's, Josh Palmer and Deandre Carter.

So you can get these guys off your waiver wire. These guys are out there. If you're one of the lucky, lucky guys are one of the smart ones. You've picked them up and now you could just throw them in outta flex, maybe even Palmer at a wide receiver too that's off of the waiver wire. And you, and when it comes down to it, you're still banking on that quarterback's talent.

And he's been spreading it around, last week against Atlanta. Palmer had eight catches for 106 yards if you had a tudy onto. He has a monster day. I think that he can, They're gonna look at the film, they're gonna go back, and when it comes down to it, yeah, Frisco has the more talented roster as far as pass catchers.

But that value that you can get off of the wave wire, getting one of these guys and putting 'em in there for, a injured person or somebody that you have on by. And let's say you were smart and you're a Keenan owner, or you're a Mike Williams owner and you got one of these guys, Well, guess what? You're not missing a beat because Herberts gonna get this guy, the ball, whether it be Carter or Palmer, they're not, they're not support a third wide receiver.

They, they use the tight ends for that. So if we're gonna go. Pass catchers. we can also go into tight ends, but if we're gonna go full pass catchers, they also utilize Everett really well in the passing game, and he's a huge target that's having another blow up year. Somebody that we talked about on the, divisional

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Dude. Dude, we haven't talked about tight ends. That's the last one. The last round. Dude, look at and, and look at you. I get it. You know, we just talk wide receivers, bro. Wide receivers. Okay.

All right. All right. Swinging

Right? Yeah. Yeah. A little bit. A little bit. All right, man. So,

Go. Go for the Chargers receivers for full, full fantasy value.

all right. Okay. Now, Bombo, since you're already lathered up, bro, just go ahead and talk about your tight end. Then we'll let t close it up.

So, we spoke about it in the divisional shows. we'll speak about it right now. Everett is found a resurgence in this offense, and as, like I spoke about the lack of past catchers that are familiar, with fantasy owners, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Everett has really stepped up with both those guys out.

Whether it be one of those guys, both of those guys, he's a reliable target. he's getting looked for, Herbert's, looking for him in the offense. They're running plays for him and honestly, from what I've been seeing, he's probably got the best hands on the team if they start utilizing him more. I like him to do a real good spot he's no longer a streamer.

You probably are starting him every week. If he's your tight end, it's time for him to start producing points. Yeah, he's no George. But a lot of times George Kittle is asked to block in that offense, especially with McCaffrey, and I go back to too many miles to feed right now. I think if someone's gonna catch a touch, a couple touchdowns from Herbert, it's probably gonna be ever.

All right. Not bad. Not bad. I think that maybe helped your case a little bit. T what do you got Tight.

Quite honestly though, with the tight ends this year, it's kind of a push between these two. For this season, and I will say this, the reason why is because kiddos played two less games than Everett has, right? Everett's been in eight games and kiddos only been in six. But if you think about that, their stats are almost identical, and that's why I call it a push.

But if you're gonna ask me which guy would I rather have in the game, especially when it's in crunch time, I'm gonna take kiddo all day. Why He's a bigger, more physical body. He doesn't get worn down

They went to every three plays in a row early in the season, and he got tired on the plays. He got tired. And what happened? He lit up. A goal line picks six. And that ended the game. He couldn't handle it. So no, no, no, no. Gimme kid in a crunch time. I'm gonna take that dude all day long cuz he's reliable and that's the kind of guy you want.

All right, man. So you know, I, I gotta render a decision here, you know what I mean? And looking at it from the outside guys. First thing I wanna say, Bombo is you were behind the eight ball bro. Next time pick a better team who's not fucking completely wiped out. You get a little bit more jabs, cuz I'm gonna say this.

T you, especially the last one, I'm gonna say you gave him the tight end cuz you didn't even come out swinging. You called it a push. You called it a push. That's like the, like admitting defeat bro. And I think with that man, you know, here's the reality to you. I think you lost the fight. Bombo didn't win the fight.

You lost it because you know what, dude, you just didn't have enough. Dude, your team is so much better. And he made the best arguments about Justin Herbert and Austin Eckler and even his, his value receiv. Then when he started talking about Everett, you called that a push.

The fuck.

Dude, you gotta stop being so soft, bro.

Bombo ding, ding. You win, bro. Only because of your enthusiasm. You came in there swinging, dog. You were the underdog, Big time underdog. And you came out victorious, Dude. You were like Buster Douglas against Mike Tyson in Japan. All right, Doug. That's what it was right now. And you fucking knocked him out, dude.

Mm-hmm.

him, right? Uppercut right in the. Because t just fucking, he, he buckled at the end. Look at him, Dude. He couldn't handle the pressure.

Fucking collusion. It's

Well, look at that. Look at the last bit. T I I'm just saying, man, our listeners heard it. I'll call it a push. I'll call it a push. Never. Never fucking concede nothing.

Don't concede nothing, Man. You gotta be better, bro. You gotta be better. I'm just saying Bombo. Congratulations.

One and one.

All right guys. That'll be it for the Fantasy Island. Hell in the Cell match. We'll see you coming up on our next episode later.
