Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

0:16.3

I'm your host Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score, and today's episode is presented

0:21.0

by head and shoulders. Offense for great hair, defense against flakes. All right, on today's

0:27.7

show, we are getting you ready for the fantasy championships, the most important week of the fantasy

0:33.8

season. This is our last show of 2019. I will be back in the new year. We got lots of

0:39.8

stuff to go over. I'll be releasing my 2020 rankings. I know it's early, but we put them out in

0:44.8

January. We'll be going over free agency previews and draft previews. And we'll be talking about

0:50.8

playoff DFS, everything leading up to the Super Bowl. But we've got a great guest with us today. Heath Cummings, CBS Sports. He's one of their senior fantasy football writers. You know him from the Fantasy Football Today podcast, and you can find him on Twitter at Heath Cummings, SR. Heath, I feel like this has been a long time coming. It's a little overdue,

1:12.0

I think, but I'm glad you're here today. Yeah, I'm glad to be here. You know, you said this last podcast of the year, so I'm just presuming that you saved the best for last. Absolutely. That's the only way to do it. I know you're having a great season two. I know in week 14, you were the number one ranker, the most accurate for that week on fantasy pros.

1:29.2

Love to see that.

1:30.1

And that's a very good week to be accurate because that's the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

1:34.8

You want to get a win.

1:36.3

Everyone that's advanced, they're the people that are listening to us right now.

1:39.9

Now they've got to make decisions for the fantasy championship for week 16.

1:43.8

It seems like every decision has a little more weight added onto it as you advance each week in the fantasy playoffs.

1:50.2

So today we're going to try to make life a little bit easier on them, see if we can help them out with some of those lineup choices.

1:56.1

And I want to start off with a specific offense versus defense matchup here.

2:02.8

It's Levion Bell hosting his former team, the Steelers. It might not seem like Bell has had a great season. It

2:08.1

feels like a lot of people might be disappointed. And that's just because he's not putting up those

2:11.8

RB1 numbers like he used to put up when he was in Pittsburgh. He's RB 16 and half point PPR leagues. It's not a bad year. He's got at least 85 yards from scrimmage in four of his last six games. He scored a couple touchdowns recently, but touchdowns have been part of the problem with him this year so far, right? The Jets aren't in scoring position as often as maybe the Steelers were back in the day. And now he's going up against the Steelers who are one of the tougher matchups for fantasy running back.

2:39.5

So I'm curious, how do you think Bell is going to perform in this one against his old team?

2:44.7

Well, I will admit that I enjoy a good revenge game narrative.
