USFL Week 9 Recap and CFL Wide Receiver Rankings (Ep. 25)

June 13, 2023·44 min·4 clips

Justin overcame a 60-point deficit and stabbed his wife in the back to win his USFL fantasy championship.

This episode recaps USFL Week 9 and ranks CFL wide receiver units for fantasy football, hosted by Mark and Justin. Justin returns from a hiatus to discuss his narrow fantasy victory and the playoff picture. He won his USFL fantasy matchup by six-tenths of a point, relying on performances from Corey Coleman, Darius Victor, and Nick Skiba. Justin also chose not to alert his wife, Miranda, to two inactive players in her lineup, causing her to lose by 1.8 points. The hosts note the South division is set for the playoffs, while the North is a competitive "dumpster fire" with teams like the Pittsburgh Maulers potentially making it at 4-6. They compare this to the Arlington Renegades' four-win championship run in the XFL, aided by adding quarterback Luis Perez. Michigan Panthers running back Reggie Corbin emerged with five catches for 99 yards, making him a potential fantasy add. Houston Gamblers quarterback Kenji Bahar averaged only 5.5 yards per attempt in a loss, with criticism aimed at the team's lack of downfield passing. Birmingham Stallions backup quarterback Alex McGough is making a case for USFL MVP after replacing an injured J'Mar Smith. The hosts plan to avoid fantasy lineups from meaningless Week 10 South division games where starters may rest. They highlight New Jersey Generals running back Wes Hills as a surprise standout with 660 yards and 10 touchdowns. In CFL fantasy, Justin's team lost 114-75 due to poor performances from players like Lucky Whitehead and Antwi. BC Lions quarterback Vernon Adams impressed, with receiver Dominique Rhymes commanding 13 targets in Week 1. Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros spread targets among multiple receivers like Rasheed Bailey and Drew Wolitarsky. Montreal Alouettes receiver Austin Mack had a surprising 120-yard game on four catches. Edmonton Elks receiver Eugene Lewis dominated with 148 yards and a touchdown, reflecting quarterback Taylor Cornelius's tendency to focus on one target. The hosts rank CFL receiving corps, placing the Edmonton Elks last despite Lewis's performance due to overall offensive struggles. They rank the Winnipeg Blue Bombers first for their depth and Zach Collaros's distribution. The tone is casual and humorous, filled with personal fantasy anecdotes and friendly rivalry between the hosts. The style is conversational and advice-driven, blending league analysis with specific player recommendations for fantasy managers. Fantasy football players invested in spring and Canadian football leagues would appreciate the detailed player evaluations and waiver wire advice. Listeners seeking hard sports news or narrative storytelling might find the focus on fantasy stats and insider banter less engaging.
