00:00So, each week, I like to go through and see who of the lesser-owned players had the biggest
00:11weeks in fantasy football, and what type of a team could you put together with guys who
00:16were tossed away to the scrap heap.
00:19And for Week 5, it was wild.
00:22We begin at the quarterback spot, 8% owned, Joe Flacco, 26.56 fantasy points.
00:29That wide receiver, Darius Slayton, still in the league, only 3% of fantasy owners knew
00:33that, and he put up 22.2 fantasy points.
00:37Alec Pierce, 20% owned, 20.9 fantasy points for the Indianapolis Colts in that wild game
00:43against Jacksonville.
00:44Speaking of Jacksonville, Tank Bigsby, 24% owned, 25 fantasy points, beastin' out this
00:54week.
00:55Mark Johnson, 20% owned with the Chicago Bears, 14.5 fantasy points.
01:00At tight end, the third Baltimore tight end, the second one to outscore Mark Andrews, it's
01:07Charlie Kollar, or Kollar, or something, 0% owned, 14.1 fantasy points, how dare you.
01:17That wide receiver, 7% owned, Jalen Tolbert, with 18.2 fantasy points for the Dallas Cowboys.
01:26Our defense, the New York Giants.
01:28I don't know why 2% of you owned the New York Giants, but it paid off with 18 fantasy points.
01:34And every week we do this, there is a kicker in the top three who is barely owned.
01:38This week, it's Chase McLaughlin, who is owned in 16% of leagues, and he put up 16 fantasy
01:45points.
01:46This team, whose ownership percentage added up to 100, so this whole roster, 1, 2, 3,
01:554, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 players, basically averaging 10 point something owned percent, comes up
02:06with 169.86 fantasy points.
02:09Every single week, there are guys just off on the scrap heap, we're gonna put up some
02:13monster numbers for you, and it becomes very frustrating.
02:17So that is the NFL talk.
02:20Let's wrap up the football with some three-down football.
02:23Oh, dude, could have been my, I think, looking at all of those, I think Alec Pierce in the
02:30Vampire League was owned, I think Bigsby in the Vampire League was owned, and that was
02:36it.
02:37So I, like, should be nailing these a little bit more than I am with all of these, like,
02:41every single week, and all of that.
02:43The one thing I have ran into in that Vampire League, it just feels like, it's a 10-team
02:49league, and so it feels so dumb cutting some of these guys when, like, you're going out
02:54and making these pickups for the week, and I think I have to separate that.
02:57It's like, you know what?
02:58No.
02:59I'll let go of Ezekiel Elliott when there are other leagues where I would be, like,
03:03scratching and clawing to try to get Ezekiel Elliott.
03:07But this one, it has a bit more depth than that, and so if you're not gonna start him
03:09in one week, off you go.
03:12And so I think I need to be a little bit more aggressive with that, for sure.
03:16But again, came so close.
03:17I was one touchdown away from any of my guys.
03:20One touchdown away, and I would have got Geno.
03:22But we're getting closer.
03:24We're getting closer each week, but time is certainly running out on me in that league.
