Welcome back to the fans speak Network and another episode of siblings Showdown this is of course the underdog draft Edition and each and every week we do an underdog Battle Royale draft so we will of course be drafting the underdog Battle Royale for week 16 which I cannot
Believe um we’ll also just briefly talk about basetball quarterfinals and you know getting through that to move some teams on to semi-finals which was wild I’m joined um by my brother each and every week um Steve uh follow him at Steve ASE on Twitter but Steve I know we
Both endured a lot of phone calls this week but uh last night whoa uh we both enjoyed a bit of a rough quarterfinals because a lot of our guys were out just absolutely ruled out like Brian Robinson Tyreek Hill Josh Jacobs Keenan Allen you know the list goes on and we’re not
Talking like little names here uh these were not like 18th round draft picks so um it was it was really tough sleding from the the jump and then we had a lot of underperformers because you and I are highly exposed to Dallas and Washington and you know the Char me the charger I
Mean I think you are too Chargers it’s just so many disappointing performances especially Dallas sticks out obviously the most um with that said we still um you know have teams going on to the baseball semi-finals which is tough um Tom Sten did a great tweet thread today
About how hard basball is but it’s still a super super super fun format that is super exciting it makes for literally the craziest three week sweat it’s hard but it’s fun and exciting and we are moving on I am moving six teams on to the semifinals um two in the battle or
Excuse me two in the um be best B Mania um which I had 50 total drafts in you were moving a total of 12 drafts on both Underdog and DraftKings and three in the DraftKings Milly makers so we both have some in the flagship tournaments which
Are exciting then some other ones too so that’s that’s the update tell me how you’re feeling I mean I’m emotionally exhausted tell me how you’re feeling after that and what you thought of the whole quarterfinals experience yeah no it was it definitely a rough uh quarterfinals week just given you know
We such strong Advance rates and so many combined teams but uh really saw him Whittle down just given like you said the injuries and the teams that we were highest Exposed on that really needed to uh Spike um you know buff being another one that you didn’t mention uh just
Really really failing and then guys who got in because it wasn’t by the way we didn’t I didn’t have a high James Cook because he obviously but but not Allen not Diggs not Kade and Davis so you know the the passing attack um yeah so and and then the other thing was
Injuries in game like Chase or um you know guys like that so yeah it was it was just rough across the board so um but we still got teams through and that’s all that matters exactly hopefully we just get a little um little lucky to uh better variance this week
Hopefully well and that’s what best ball it’s like it’s so weird right you fall in love with some of these teams like oh this is well built and I like that has this many of this team or you know these you know stacks for week 17 or what you
Kind of fall in love with these teams and ultimately it’s like kind of like the real NFL it may not be the teams you expect to make it you know far and you just each week you’re rooting on different things and it’s that’s again makes it so unique as a format and such
A fun Sweat Right yeah yeah absolutely so who who would you say you’re highest exposed to with your 12 teams less whether it’s a player or a team for me it’s the Lions still I mean obviously the Lions overall did very well on Saturday night that was amazing s Porta
Three touchdowns I love you uh five touchdowns for golf amazing so for me it’s the lions that I have and then I mean I certainly again I need to look and see like the pieces around the Lions but still the Lions for me how about you
Or just players yeah no I mean lions lions guys for sure I still have some cowboys uh in there as well um you know still have uh definitely a few um you know like Bill’s guys uh King K do I do know is a little banged up so um you
Know we’ll have to see uh you know what what the injury um reports bring us this week that’s for sure yeah hopefully the injury reports are injury gods and injury reports are a little kinder to us and variance breaks a little better but anyway so on to semi-finals that’s our

Rankings up for week 16 so with that I am going to jump Us in here and we’ll see um where we are at looks like I was the last one in so we will get started here soon yep last one in Draft starts in a minute we are pick number three of
Course three out of six snake draft um six rounds quarterback running back two wi receivers um tight end and flex you are starting and you’re just drafting starters so with that said obviously this is kind of my first look at week 16 to be quite honest Steve um so you know
With 37 30 seconds left I mean I can obviously tell that obviously Miami uh Dallas is kind of going to be the Marquee game on the main site because remember we have um two we have a Thursday Two Saturday games and uh what is it then this is three games on
Christmas day three days on Christmas day yes thank you um three games on Christmas day so very unique um here so for the Sunday slate main slate here Miami Dallas is you know and then obviously I like the Minnesota trit game I’m kind of looking at everybody here
Anybody that teams or players or Stacks that stick out to you and then we’ll be on the clock and two and who are you like for the first pick yeah one uh the one one I think is um Tyreek lamb um you know Tyreek hasman matchup prone sounds
Like he’s gonna be back lamb um you know got him yeah so it went um I’ll pull this up as we have a little break um now so sorry that was was kind of fast and furious to get started there but um it it went Tyreek Rashad white lamb Justin
Jefferson um and I do like white as a top back this week for sure do you okay great yeah okay but there are some good backs uh so obviously you like the Miami Dallas game any other Dallas or uh games you’re drawn to before we talk about just like specific players interesting
One to me is the Jaguars game Tampa Jag don’t know about Lawrence though but I mean Tampa has been terrible against the the past all year um so I mean this could be a huge Ridley game especially with Z Jones out uh I mean he’s still getting targets he got 12 targets last
Week um it did get a touchdown it just wasn’t rulle to touchdown count but um so let’s see what do we have coming up here oh yeah sorry we’re turning the corner here we are two picks away I take lorta okay it sounds you know I’m not
Going to question that um and then we’ll be back up so we’re at 2 10 and 15 so I queued up leaport I think that makes sense is he the top tight end ranked I don’t think a tight end’s um yeah so I think it makes sense
To get the like top 10 tight end um in another Marquee game um you know you definitely have like hackin M bride too Dak also for the stack um but yeah yeah um you want to go lorta first or back I mean hopefully we can
Get both but yeah it’s going to be tough at the three you know um three but I I’d say I’d say lorta um okay so they went Fields um you know you know with ADP you never know dax’s next one up I don’t know what do you think Steve I say lorta
Okay you think get the the highest tight end um and then we’ll see we’re up in okay so Gibbs went and they don’t have quarterbacks yet so they could go go Dak if they don’t go Dak nope they went Dak yeah um I was going to say do you want
To take two and pick up another Miami NOP they took Wadd um uh or just look at running backs yeah so we got Pard um Bree hallall yeah Bree Hall against us uh we were Washington fans obviously if you didn’t know and um we know that running backs
Well receivers destroy our secondary but running backs also just destroy our defense I mean every especially running backs who catch the ball yeah like Kon Williams had a great week last week so yeah and it wasn’t even through the air but but I mean kenth walker uh saquan I
Mean any running back doesn’t matter who his quarterback is doesn’t matter his situation uh Pard had one of his best games of the year against us yeah it does not matter yeah okay so let’s take a quick look so we got Lam in the first
Round lorta Bree Hall um will be up at 22 and 27 I think we kind of want to be thinking about yes what of the running backs are there but you know we don’t want to let QB get too away from us I mean I would queue up golf obviously
Indoors um since we already have leaport unless you want to go to yeah you like go the best okay I say we just grab them um here be unless something really massively sticks out to you at the running back or receiver I mean I’ll queue up Ridley um just because I worry
About what happened with Dak you know like it says the ADP he maybe should be there but again ADP it’s the wild west you just go get it so um so if this person has a quarterback so we should be good we will take golf stacked with
Leaport um and then do you want to take Ridley coming up or is there another so we’ll have what two more picks so we have like one one1 so um yeah we’ll be up at 27 and 34 and essentially need um a running back and receiver or two
Receivers if that really stood out so I’ll take a little quick look here is a running back situation um I say Ridley but let take rley take okay sounds good honestly even if it is uh you know be um he peppered Ridley right some you know
When he to fill in at the end of the one game and I I just think they oh I like this so I like this a lot we got the Detroit stack you got lamb in that high total G you know hopefully a bounce back spot for him Ridley in an awesome
Matchup and Bree Hall in an awesome matchup I like the start okay let’s not mess this up yeah so would be the stud I can’t I I can’t touch it Arthur Smith I’m sorry I I just can’t do it um and nor can clearly anybody else um that was egregious what
Happened last week it was also a monsoon he’s playing back in a dome they did not give him snap Steve I know I mean but the mon that’s what I mean I don’t think it the monsoon I think the monsoon is Arthur Smith he’s a mess he’s an
Absolute mess I the other thing would be Tai Chandler oh that’s a kind of fun run back I mean I know we’re kind of going down there but like like that could be interesting because Tai Chandler might not be drafted in every draft which oh yeah is
Kind of interesting is there any of these receivers before we go that really stand out we don’t know their their health and yeah okay I just want to scroll down real quick okay all right so Tai Chandler is it just 17 seconds just want to make sure over Henry I mean
Montgomery that’s kind of in this it really doesn’t make sense to stack up like that so um you tie Chandler over all these other backs yeah even over Henry I mean Henry is definitely interesting but I think Chandler makes makes more sense he was explosive yeah he’s extremely explosive um it makes you
Wonder why they didn’t give a more of a look at him earlier in the season um but we see that a lot with obviously these young guys um okay so uh let me go back to it here so our team is Jared gof Bree Hall Tai ch Chandler CD lamb Calvin
Ridley and Sam leaport um again uh actually no I was going to bring up the board but no let’s just talk about it really quick um again we got the line stack that we wanted I mean you don’t have to force a runback but we did get the run back with Tai Chandler
Bree H an excellent matchup lamb a great balance back spot Calvin really an awesome matchup you know I think we were did a good job of targeting like both kind of matchups High totals good um you know usage you know that kind of stuff a combination of oh I really I really love
This draft what are your thoughts yeah no exactly I mean you know uh we know golf uh obviously plays better in a dome Minnesota is in a dome it’s a it’s a big game it really is Minnesota um you know Detroit’s playing for seating Minnesota’s playing for a lot also so
It’s a big game I expect them both teams to bring their a game and Chandler to to be highly involved Kevin McConnell has basically said that he’s going to be featur going forward um and yeah no I expect him to be involved in the passing game the running game and you know Lions
Defense is definitely susceptible I mean to rely on Mullins to move the ball enough but you know he he was fine you know he had some bad turnovers but he was fine overall yeah besides the turnovers I thought he he looked pretty decent you know from you know Bree Hall
I know I know last week was ugly against Miami but you know we saw the week four against Houston just how explosive how incredible this guy can be um and you know Washington’s defense has just been an absolute mess all year um all right well I mean I’m super
Happy with our draft and yeah to me this is my literally very first look so again this slate is unique with you know more Island games and and kind of slate more condensed but yeah I think it makes it fun and of course Underdog has offerings for you know the Saturday only or
Christmas only and stuff like that so check those out too because they’re they’re a lot of fun too even shorter drafts I so um so yeah so this has been fun Steve our first look be sure to check out Steve’s rankings on fanspeak.com he’ll have those up um shortly and um yeah be
