NFL Week 17 Recap - The Players You Needed To Be Champion

[@5thDownPodcast]

I went from last in my fantasy league, living check to check, evicted from my apartment, eating rice and beans… then I found you guys. Now I’m making 200k/year, wife and kids, big house with a pool. Just won my fantasy league for the 3rd time in 4 years. I just gotta say thank you guys for turning my life around.

[@mikecrone]

😂😂😂😂😂 good story

[@TDC5]

nice job setting the high bar. now all the clown shoes that come after will have to dial back their online bragging to stay under the bs bar.

[@registeredflexoffender3976]

Incredibly original material

[@MrMayonnaise33]

It's not good-bye, it's until next time. Thanks for filling my mornings with awesome football talk throughout the year fellas.

[@gregguz18]

went from 2-11 last year to the championship this year off a 50 point comeback. Thanks for everything you do boys. you have earned a permanent subscriber and viewer in me.

[@JoshandHayden]

That’s incredible! Thanks for watching!

[@Bulldog-qe9is]

Thanks to both of you for the contents throughout the season! Got a chip and a third place in 2/3 home leagues!

[@keithgrider4914]

I think the combination of you two is spot on...and Daigle is a great contributor. Won a Championship last night, but it was down to the wire because I was up against Baker. Thing is...left a lot of points on my bench choosing to start Breece and Ford (with one eye closed) over Theilen and London. Thank You guys...and Thank You to Jayden Daniels!

[@mizusoup10]

Thanks guys! I won my first year of fantasy football ever after 10+ years because of your podcast!

[@nova7747]

Missed the playoffs my first year. Found you guys then made finals last year and won this year. Thanks for telling me to draft Leek and BT.

[@TomLake-ee4yg]

23-point lead with ASB & LaPorta (waiver pickup ~wk10-11) vs Gibbs & Bates. You guys rock!

[@Zeniru]

As a Bucs lifer appreciate the front office love. Lichts been on one for years, extremely underrated. Hope he can make the tough choice to promote Coen to the HC this offseason

[@JayMessinAround]

Thanks fellas I took your draft philosophy of drafting for upside to heart and ended up with Saquon Jefferson Jacobs LaPorta Nabers BTJ Chase Brown McConkey Goff And I watched your show every week even though your rankings set me up to not need a single FA. Forever grateful for my first championship W

[@tylerthomas2808]

I lost the Super Bowl last year in my first year. Tonight, I won my first championship ☝🏽 anything is possible

[@brianshields7314]

Won my league this year, largely thanks to yall. Special thanks to hayden for giving me the confidence to start BTJ every week since the bye.

[@St_Jay]

back to back championship wins, both years because of watching and following your advice. you guys are the best. more than half of my points this week just from Jayden, Malik, and BTJ. Yahoo can suck it - predicted I would be dead last at 2-12 both years!

[@asamataua]

Thank you fellas for all the help you guys did for me!

[@tomlee510]

won the ship! thanks josh and hayden. your videos were my go-to all season

[@lakernation2158]

Had my best week of the year. Going to win the chip in my one and only league. Thanks for all the insight this season fellas! Best FF channel out there.

[@BoltBrethren]

Just came here to say I went from first to losing my semi final to scoring the most amount of points of any team in the finals and getting third place. Sometimes your entire team just has a bad week and nothing you could have done 🤷‍♂️ Thanks J&H for guiding me this far!

[@aclare9528]

Secured my fantasy championship because of your draft rankings at the start of the season. Thanks fellas!

[@ChicknNugts]

Packers having 4 WR2s is kind of a crazy statement but so true and totally my frustration with the ones I had this year

[@evanross5810]

Went from not wanting harrison, aiyuk or waddle and seeing them hyped up at the 1/2 turn and still not wanting either but watching my friends and family burn their well earned money every draft on them. Went with the kyrens, Henry, saquon. Gibbs, etc instead

[@alanpreisig2631]

BTJ helped me win 2 championships!He broke randy moss's rookie record with 8 games with over 60 yards and a touchdown!Moss had 7!Brian will be a 1st rd pick next year!!!

[@riggz5496]

I hope he flies under the radar I’m picking him up everywhere

[@alanpreisig2631]

I drafted Brian in the 9th and the 11th rd in 2 of my league's!Struck gold!!!

[@riggz5496]

@@alanpreisig2631 hell yeah. He’s such a beast. His schedule was scary but it didn’t matter in the fantasy playoffs

[@mikecrone]

He’s a stud definitely 1st round material

[@jsulllly]

You guys are sick. First time comment but listened for some years now. Need 41 from Brock and Kittle for a ship, wish me luck. Any word on underdog in Nevada? Can i draft from Cali if i am a nevada resident?

[@patrickguerra5442]

I was DEAD LAST in my league last year as the first time rookie in a 12 person PPR format. This year I won the championship with y'alls content! Thank y'all so dang much as going from Least to BEAST feels quite good!!! Team Name: Rated IR My winning squad is below: QB: Lamar Jackson RB: Joe Mixon RB: Tyrone Tracy WR: Garret Wilson WR: Puka Nacua TE: Chig Okonkwo Flex: Tyjae Spears Flex: Tee Higgins K: Jake Bates D: Chargers Bench: QB: Russel Wilson WR: Jalen Mcmillian WR: Jordan Addison TE: Zach Ertz QB: Tom Brady (needed a good luck charm!!)

[@brandonpopovic6826]

Players I didn’t have in dynasty this week. Conner (only played the 2 drives), Richardson, lamb Sat Jeudy and Mac jones Lineup: Kyler and Rudolph Conner and Tracy BTJ, smitty, Evans, westbrook ikenhe, and coker Jonnu smith Thankfully got a huge week from the wrs and won to close the year🙏

[@Himothy03]

Won 1/6 leagues. Not my best year but I had some pretty great teams. Ended up getting unlucky but I’ll take it. Thank you gents for getting us to the finish line!!

[@aeroburn5665]

Yall the 🐐

[@foxxbernard1878]

Started season with Chase, Pucua(IR), Nicco and Mahomes. Rbs BRob Jr and Stevenson Started 0-3. Traded Stevenson after B2B 20pt games for Lamar Jackson. Pick up Bucky and Tracy, BTJ early waivers....Rest is history 3x Champion in a tough league.

[@tomdowney37215]

Caleb needs the nail polish that gives him +5 to accuracy

[@theYT_moderator]

In my secondary league...no hurts or njoku. McLaurin, achane, hall, all let me down. Evans and JJ came but not nearly enough. Colts getting -4pts didn't help. Not gonna feel good if Juan Jennings blows up on my bench.

[@pistolrx9313]

Thank you

[@johngoss3997]

Won the ‘ship thanks to your content - thank you 🤝

[@JoshandHayden]

Appreciate the love man!

[@andrewmyers704]

I had Burrow, Chase, Chase Brown, Mike Evans, Derrick Henry, JT! Won my championship with Higgins on the bench! 😂

[@devincrampton6818]

As a packer fan i went into this year hoping one of the wr would step up but they're a mix of second and third options in top passing games plus they all have terrible hands except Tucker Kraft. It's a long shot but they should go after Higgins or at least take another swing early in the draft

[@marcusmoses6529]

5 leagues. 4 semi finals. 2 rings. Stay oiled up this offseason Kings.

[@JoshandHayden]

Love it man

[@corkmars]

Are y’all gonna do any rankings for week 18? My league has the second half of its final this week.

[@omlette9214]

Hayden, I would love for you to have a video where you talk about your models and how you collect your data and build the graphs. I would love to hear you talk about your models. Maybe I’ll DM you

[@J47-f8y]

Oiled up enough to slip out a championship win. Thanks boys!

[@drexiusofthefallen]

The Patriots also drafted Tyquon Thornton over George Pickens. We passed up on DK Metcalf for someone that I can't remember which is really all you need to know. The Patriots are allergic to drafting wide receivers. Hoping they will throw a bunch of money at Tee.

[@christhompson3172]

Still waiting on the MNF game. I’m up 30 points with Bates left while my opponent has Purdy and Kittle. I’m quite nervous. But shoutout Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers for putting me in this position!

[@donmac3186]

That MHJ back shoulder was lucky as hell too lol. He didn't have it and the defender basically hit it right into his pocket. Kid's hands are weak.

[@manuelanthony7256]

Thank you Higgins, Daniels, and Bucky. Taking it tomorrow if Gibbs doesn’t score over 47.

[@rigoaczon]

I need JaMo to score at least 25 ppr points but less than 30 ½ ppr points to win both my championships lol 😅 Thanks for all the help this year!

[@wattsnex2725]

The josh Jacobs called back TD is going to cost me a pretty expensive chip. That and the 21 yard loss in Falcons game gave drake London room to get over 100yds bonus..that’s how I lost. Painful

[@stevenmartin3598]

So no mention of a top 5 RB (Achane) being benched in the fantasy championship with NO EXPLANATION??

[@charlesmanning1752]

Yeah cmon it’s a fantasy football show gotta talk about that

[@brianscheffer1007]

Just clinched my championship with that Gibbs td

[@alexanderguerrero4158]

started watching you guys last year, won the chip, and just went back to back this year with the help of your knowledge again. you guys are the best in the fantasy space and it’s not close!

[@moparbuc9256]

I’m in the 14man league championship next week 🎉 K1, Bijon, Cooks, Henry, Ridley,JMac, K. Allen, McBride, Eagles/Bucs DST Tyler Bass ……wish me luck

[@JordanV-rd5uq]

I need 34 points between Goff, Gibbs, and Jennings tonight in 1/2 ppr for the title!

[@Belowthaheavenz]

I’m kicking myself because I was unaware of the Vikings lions scenario if I would have known I would have thrown zaccheius in last night smh . 148-148 I have jamo he has the kicker bates 😢

[@Steve_Takes]

Tee Higgins 3 TD's sunk me in the championship

[@DickTogo712]

Jayden Daniels 13 bonus pts in OT cooked me thanks noodle leg Riley Patterson and goofy Raheem Morris u just made the list

[@Bethbutucancallmechandra]

I made a best ball finals unfortunately it was mini snauzer and also unfoetunately team had ceedee lamb gus edwards james conner and chuba hubbard

[@SwaggyP136]

CJ Stroud regression needs to be studied, and Bobby Slowik is not it!

[@asamataua]

Revenge is mine!!!! Beat the guy who beat me last year in the championship!! BEST RECORD HIGHEST SCORE AND NOW CHAMP. TRIPLE CROWN! 😭😭🎉

[@brettbaxman]

Best team in the league start to finish. Jefferson, Saquon, Henry, Ladd, and Josh Allen not enough to take down Adam Thielen, Devonta Smith, BTJ and Jonathan Taylor 😔. Third 2nd place finish in the last 4 years

[@svendragon8139]

Up 16 with Ra, but opp. has Gibbs and Kittle. So, a little bit of an underdog going into Monday.

[@jlpsaxophonist6119]

Wonder if there will be any weirdness with starters in this one if Lions go up, especially with how important Gibbs is to the functioning of the team with Monty out

[@AttackMaster303]

I lost because I started Downs over Devonta Smith/Tyreek Hill. Fuck. Colts defense too. Hunter Henry…Man

[@TheNOTAUSTIN]

RIP. These guys were talking Downs up (no pun intended) all through the morning live show. And most of the fantasy analysts had Ind as the #1 D/ST. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense

[@baperrin256]

Yeah, lots of people were big on Downs. I still didn’t want to trust Flacco, so held off there. Started Mia DST over Indy because I believe the Browns are cursed and the giants are just bad 😂

[@rodiperez7918]

Currently it's 205-184 if Jahmyr puts up 21 i lose,this is the highest matchup in our sleeper history

[@richardcheese9152]

Up 80. I have jauan Jennings, opponent has Gibbs, Amon Ra, and Kittle (1.5 ppr TE) what we thinking

[@daveo83]

Idk how tf I won my championship. No hurts and achane duded but we found a way to win

[@jmarvs]

Joke’s on me, my league has 2 week playoff matchups so week 18 here we come 😢

[@dogsbreakfast4952]

Benched nabers for breece 😂 now I need Purdy to get 5!!!

[@aarondriskell2950]

I made the same mistake but should still win because of baker lol

[@gabrielmarinas3649]

Can the Jets gain comp picks from releasing Rodgers & Davante? If that's so, the answer is pretty simple. Wilson is pretty good and young to let go

[@17Cayuga]

GIBBS 26 PTS LETS GO!

[@UnfortunateCowboysFan]

I’m up 20.2 points My Goff VS his Amon Ra ST brown….. we good ?

[@jasonsanchez6595]

No shit winks with mims for week 17 , I heard your take on him in the off season grab him a few times it didn’t feel good so I faded him and then he shows up week 17 nuts

[@codykline8613]

Even with Terry's dud last night, I have a 99% chance to win based on ESPN projections (which we know can be wrong) lol

[@nes6493]

WON A CHAMPIONSHIP w Daniels, Gibbs, Achane, Nabers, G.Wilson, BTJ, McBride and Bucky owe alot of it to u guys... u 2 are the best in this space and thanks for all the insight and breakdowns

[@IlIFixXxeRIlI]

I'm up by 20 with LaPorta left to play, and he has Gibbs. Am I cooked? 🤔

[@pdigital247]

Who hoo! I’m up 192.84-86. I still have St Brown. They only have Deebo and Kittle. Absolute beat down to take the crown!

[@chasetompkins]

Just need 40 points from Gibbs tonight to win the championship 😅

[@jayant4742]

DOMINATED THE DRAFT. DOMINATED THE LEAGUE. DOMINATED THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

[@morganvfx2780]

You sound insufferable to play with 😭

[@jayant4742]

Being the goat ain’t for everyone🤷‍♂️

[@RLR1992]

Burrow x Henry x Jefferson 🎉

[@MediocrityIncarnate]

Bucs have to retain Coen no matter what happens the rest of the season/playoffs. Losing him in favor of keeping Bowles would be a franchise-altering mistake.

[@joeyperrone3168]

Fairbairn giving me a zero and Nico only having 59 yds is gonna bury me.

[@julienforletta7896]

Look I’m not hating on Sam darnold but you truly can not emphasize how much of this is KOC. He will look mostly any qb look very good . I’m telling you right now , he may not be a total loss , but whoever pays him will not be happy about it in a few years if he leaves Minnesota

[@toddcrowther368]

Got my championship in week 18 - gimme the tiering across positions esp QB where my QBs Hurts & Love won’t play?!

[@docman3030]

Go Birds!

[@jakeg7472]

Pretty sure Vikings were projected waaay less than 6.5. More like 3.5-4.5 at most

[@biglee9618]

HELP why no videos for championship week 18???

[@maxbailey3535]

Finals not over dont congrats us yet. I need 31 points from goff and laporta 😅

[@vxu3826]

need 2.6 pts from jauan jennings to win. wish me luck

[@mattb782]

Nobody even heard of Bo Nix heading into the draft process for fantasy. Sanders or Ward have equal chance to be studs.

[@wilypueo]

I won! Despite playing the Indy defense over the Philly defense xD. Lamar and Henry carried me through, like they have all season :)

[@wilypueo]

I've loved your shows, the recaps and the stats vs film especially. Thanks guys!

Daniels and Higgins for me.

Gibbs deff playing they gotta beat the viks next week and Gibbs %98 gets 25 points

[@jlpsaxophonist6119]

@JacobHagen-f3v why does them needing to beat vikes judtify Gibbs playing tomorrow? Seems counterintuitive but i know Dan and the bois still wanna win this meaningless game. Just hoping they sit Gibbs early or something

[@manuelanthony7256]

@@jlpsaxophonist6119they are playing for the number one seed and Gibbs has a bigger role since Monty is out. They want that home field advantage in the playoffs. That being said, if he does get hurt, even slightly, I can see them pulling him to preserve him. Good luck bro I’m facing him too but he’s a lot.

[@jlpsaxophonist6119]

@@manuelanthony7256 The game against 49ers is meaningless- only affects seeding if a tie (near impossible). Unfortunately for us, Dan is that 1 coach that is playing for a 50 point W no matter the risk to the health of his only proven RB

All you can hope for is they're up big at half again and only give him a couple snaps after that.

[@puffmommachili]

Horrible take on the "tin foil hat" giving the vikings the game. Vikes missed 2 field goals and had to put up with phantom PI calls and neutral zone infractions that didn't exist. Vikings are the better team, plain and very simple
