This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports. Here we go! Email us at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. Here we go! It's time to dominate your fantasy league. Let's go! Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. Welcome to your Tuesday show. It is September 3rd.

What's up? This is Fantasy Football Today. Who's drafting tonight? Me. Yeah. I've never stopped drafting. Are you drafting tonight? I have a slow draft. Alright, I don't really count

that. Jamie is off tonight, not drafting. I am drafting tonight. I am excited. Two more drafts to go. Almost week one time, so we're going to talk a little week one. Jason Witten, top five tight end this week? Top three. Top three. Okay, yeah.

Top 300. Some wacky streamers for you. Also, some bold predictions. Your emails at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com and your fill in the blank. You can follow us on Twitter at DaveRich Richard, singular, at Jamie Eisenberg.

He's J-A-M-E-Y. And at Adam Azer, A-I-Z-E-R. All right. Also at Heath Cummings SR and at Yards Per Gretch. There are some more Twitter handles. Hey, I got a quick segment called Ownership Alert.

You tell me what you think about these ownership percentages. Marquise Lee is owned in more leagues than Marquise Goodwin. Lee is 49% owned and Goodwin is 43% owned. I don't get that at all. Stupid. I'm not buying into Marquise Lee. I'd rather have Goodwin.

Yeah. I'd rather have Damian Willis than Marquise Lee. Who's Damian Willis? Somebody asked. Yeah, the sleeper you gave last week. The sleeper, yes. He's going to start for the Bengals to begin the year. He's 6'2", and he's fast, and he's good at contested catches.

Put him in your Twitter handle. Nah, I've already got Darren Waller there. Okay. Ownership alert number two. Mike Davis I've already got Darren Waller there. Okay. Ownership alert number two. Mike Davis is only owned in 10% of leagues. What do you think about that? Mike Davis, 10% owned. I mean, he probably served to be a little bit more owned,

but third running back on a good running team comparatively to maybe a second running back on some other teams. I mean, there are... I'm doing the first run of waiver wire today. And Mike Davis is on the list. I have him at 12%. I don't know where you're seeing,

but there are some guys that are in that same range that I'd still rather have. Okay. I honestly think... TJ Yeldon's at 10%. I'd rather have TJ Yeldon than Mike Davis right now. You would? Yeah. I have a question i honestly think like t.j yeldon's at 10 i'd rather have t.j yeldon than mike davis right now you would yeah we have a question about t.j yeldon and justin jackson is 62 owned justin jackson 62 owned i feel like he should be 80 owned i've i've gotten a lot of

questions on twitter about should i drop darwin thompson for justin jackson and my answer to that question is as long as Melvin Gordon's away, the answer is hell yeah. Yeah. All right. So Justin Jackson, if he's out there in your leagues, I mean,

that's definitely someone that you, you want to be taking a look at. We got three sponsors today. We have FanDuel, of course, getting ready for FanDuel. FanDuel.com slash FFT. We got SeatGeek.

We'll get to the Redskins running backs. If you missed the headline there, we'll tell you about that. Damian Williams is going to start.

And did you take anything away from what Andy Reid had to say about LaShawn McCoy and basically the backfield yesterday? You know, it's going to be a mess. It's going to be a mess to a degree, I think. I still think Damian Williams is going to be the guy. Andy Reid kind of made it clear. He said he trusts LaShawn McCoy. That means a lot. It means that

that's why he paid him a lot of money. He wanted to have a running back that he could count on. Is LaShawn McCoy insurance in case Damian Williams screws up? Absolutely. Is he going to step in right away, less than a week from signing with the team, or about a week from signing with the team, and be

the lead back for the Chiefs over Williams? I'm going to say no. There's no way he's going to be the lead back. He's going to take away enough production from Damian Williams to ruin what Damian Williams could be. He's going to take away enough production from Darwin Thompson to ruin what Darwin Thompson could be. And as we talked about on CBS Sports

HQ yesterday, there is a good chance that LaShawn McCoy could eventually become the lead running back there. It's a small chance, but it's a chance. And so, if you're still drafting Damian Williams, the earliest you should consider taking him is round four. The earliest. If you take him before that, it's a big, big mistake. I agree

with you. Was there the same type of chance of Darwin overtaking Damien before LeSean? No, but there's three guys now. Oh, I get it. I get it. This was – any conversation we had about Carlos Hyde, this is that on a little bit of steroids because – Baby steroids. McCoy is better than Hyde right now, and the familiarity with Andy Reid speaks volumes.

The money that they paid him is something you have to factor in and so it's all these things that are working against what Damien Williams could be now McCoy may get hurt we've seen that happen to him McCoy may still stink at 31 years old but you have to build in all of this to what Damien Williams was going to be and now where he is now now he could still blow away LaShawn McCoy and they could just use him as it could be as simple as LaShawn McCoy just not being what Andy Reid remembered him as. Or it could be, you know what? I know what this guy can do because I coached him once upon a time and I know that I trust

him and I know that in key spots, he's not going to let me down. So I'm going to go with LaShawn McCoy over Damian Williams and the career backup for five years is back to being the career backup for five years again. I think he's got to fall into that, though. But I agree. Round four on Damian Williams and not even a great starting option in non-PPR this week. In any format this week.

Yeah, I know. Oh, in PPR, I think he'll be okay. He's not a great starting option. He's okay. No. You're right. He's not great. He's okay.

No. In PPR, you don't think he's okay, Jamie? No. No. Because there is the uncertainty of what McCoy could be. Okay. All right, well, I look forward to debating this. Well, would you start David Montgomery over a Chiefs running back?

Yes. Yeah. Would you start Aaron Jones over a Chiefs running back? No. They're in the same range for me. Both no. Would you start Tariq Cohen over a Chiefs running back? No.

I would start Williams over him. Yeah, I would start Tariq Cohen. But when you say Chiefs running back, you mean... Right. I'm starting Cohen over LeSean. You can't start LeSean McCoy. All right. So you'd start Tariq Cohen over LeSean McCoy, but not...

Oh, wait. You'd start Tariq Cohen over LeSean McCoy, but not over, wait. You'd start Tariq Cohen over the Sean McCoy, but not over Damian Williams? Or yes over Damian Williams? No. I'm sorry. I was answering as if you were just referring to Damian Williams. Jason Garrett did not say when Ezekiel Elliott had to be

signed to be ready for week one. They got the Giants in week one. This is what our Patrick Walker said of CBS Sports. The only thing that remains to be ironed out is the structure of how the cash will be paid out, and that's the only aspect left that could potentially sideline the discussion.

There remains a strong chance that Elliott walks into the team's headquarters in Frisco come Monday afternoon or at some point on Tuesday. He wrote this yesterday. The latter being an off day for the Cowboys before they begin their second practice on Wednesday. Still, and understandably so, the team is reportedly frustrated after not getting a definitive yes from

Elliott on Sunday afternoon following positive talks on Saturday. So, it is what it is. I mean, I don't want to keep harping on it, but I think we have to. If you're still drafting, when would you draft Zeke? Fourth overall? Yep. When do you expect him to play?

No later than week two. Melvin Gordon does not plan to report for week one. Has anything changed since we last talked about Melvin Gordon? I don't think so. I mean, you just have to realize that if you draft him, you're taking a significant risk of not, risk of not having him for potentially the first 10 weeks of season. Darius Geis is going to get more carries than Adrian Peterson.

Jay Gruden said, as far as the carries go, the offense will run through Darius Geis. What did that mean to you guys? It means that Jay Gruden is smart. Right. But like, what does it mean for Darius' fantasy value? The comment didn't change how I view anything in Washington.

Okay. Then how do you view it? How do you view it? It changed a little bit for me. I think Darius Geis is a borderline starter, better off as a flex, a guy that you should take as a third running back in the Devin Singletary, Miles Sanders range. Really?

Yeah, absolutely. Round six is well within the conversation. I mean, look, Adrian Peterson got 1,000 yards out of this team. Yeah, but it was an ugly 1,000 yards. So what? So what? Most of the time when you started to hit him at Peterson. As a third running back?

I just think. I hear around six for Darius Geis and I get the heat. Geis has so much more upside than what David Peterson. Oh, I agree. I agree. But I don't know if he's in the same conversation. The problem is, is he going to separate himself from the other two guys enough to be useful? Now, I do think that in Jay Gruen's comment also, he said that they're going to use him on all three downs.

That would be a little bit of a surprise with what Chris Thompson does and has been able to do as a third down back. But I still think that if Geis hits, it's a big hit. Now, I don't want to take him in round six, but I think that's the spot you have to start to consider him depending on how running backs move forward. Where do you want to take him? Let's see if we agree on this.

No, it's a little too soon for me to. So you're around eight on him, which would be like in the 90s. I am. I'm probably not going to get, which would be like in the 90s. I am. I'm probably not going to get Darius Geis in many leagues. Okay. Yeah, I mean, it's a horrible offense, but he is a really good talent. Oh, I meant to look up. Let me see what I can.

So, okay, you know what? Let's do this. Let's look up in non-PPR the top, like, 20 running backs last year and see how many of them were on miserable offenses. We're going to do this now? Yeah, we're going to do this now. It's going to be really fun. Here we go. It didn't take long to pull it up.

Saquon? Okay, it is taking long. No, Saquon was on the 17th ranked offense last year. The Redskins would not be that. That'd be the bottom half. Last time I checked, right? Yeah, bottom half. The lowest that the number one run... McCaffrey and Barkley were both like, the team scored about the same amount of points.

That's like the lowest in like six or seven years in terms of scoring offense for the number one running back in PPR. I do need a little bit more time. Okay, go ahead. So Adrian Peterson finishes the number 16 running back in non-PPR. He had six games with 10-plus in fantasy, including three with over 20,

and that's non-PPR. Got off to a great start last year. A lot of them on your bench, I think, unfortunately. Yeah, he did. That's part of the problem. How many guys are you taking in the round six through eight range that are weekly starters for you at the running back position? Well, at the running back position?

Well, at the running back position, not many. That's a good question, though. I think those guys are going to go in round five. But wide receiver, I can get a really good number three receiver. I can get a stud quarterback. Understood. I'm not reaching for Geist. That's not reaching. Yeah, it is.

No, it's not. To me, it feels like it's reaching. No, it's not. All right. No, there aren't a lot, Adam, As I go and look through the top 20, Joe Mixon, you'd probably say, was on a bad offense. I don't know statistically where they finished. We are talking about probably one of the two worst offenses in football

with the Redskins, right? 100%. Yeah, they'd be right there with Miami. So, yeah, I mean, I think he could definitely be top 15 because Peterson was 16. I don't think he could be top 10, most likely. No, but if you thought

he was going to be top 10, you'd take him in the first five rounds. Well, but I think Miles Sanders could be top 10 in a best-case scenario. Yeah, sure. You know, like, comparing the two.

Right. Comparing the two, because, like, if you're talking about thinking about Geis in round six, then now you're starting to approach—I know you say you don't want him there, but considering him there, now you're starting to approach Miles Sanders' territory, Duke Johnson's territory, Devin Singletary's territory, right?

Sure. I don't know. I just thought I'd group them together. Is he behind all those guys? Would you take Singletary or Geis? Absolutely. Absolutely, yeah. Would you take McCoy or Geis?

Geis. What'd you say, Jamie? Geis. We all agree on Geis. Shady. All right. Jordan Reed not practicing. But can you really make an argument for Kenyon Drake over Geis?

Oh, in PPR? Yes, because a significant argument that there's that much difference between the two guys. No, I think it's that range. Right, right. I've got Drake two spots ahead of Geis in my non-PPR. If Geis had no pedigree, if he were just like, oh, he's the starting running back, I wouldn't care.

But we haven't really seen a lot. There's a chance he's really good. Right? Right. So, yeah. Okay. Okay, Jordan Reed's still not practicing at Philadelphia this week. haven't really seen a lot there's a chance he's really good right i mean right so yeah okay uh okay jordan reed's still not practicing at philadelphia this week so he's still in the concussion protocol right yeah uh seattle re-signed jerron brown remember heath was like oh yeah i feel better about dk metcalf because they cut jerron brown well they brought him back but dk

metcalf did practice so he has a chance to play against the terrible Bengals in week one. And most importantly, a survey found that the Patriots, Cowboys, and Eagles are the most annoying teams in the NFL, followed by Pittsburgh and Green Bay. And you can't help but look at that and say, well, these are pretty successful teams. New England, Dallas, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, your five most annoying teams. Your five least annoying teams, Arizona, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Miami, and the Chargers. We're going to take a break here.

From a lot of people, they've been asking this question. Should I drop Darwin Thompson? Don't drop him just to drop him. Make sure you're getting somebody who serves a better purpose for your fantasy team. One way to find out if you should drop him is go look at our preseason rankings,

you know, the draft prep rankings. And if there's a player on waivers that's ranked higher than Darwin, you could conceivably make the switch. Okay. Hey, by the way, I keep forgetting to say this. If you're looking for our video this week on youtube.com slash fantasyfootballtoday

or on All Access, no video this week because the guyscom slash fantasy football today or on all access. No video this week because the guys had to evacuate Florida basically and they're up in Connecticut. So just letting you know that I keep forgetting to mention it. There you go. It's been mentioned from Jim. Where's Jim from? Jim is from Worcester, Mass.

Are we overlooking TJ Yeldon in Buffalo? Would you rather stash Yeldon or Ido Smith? Standard scoring league. You could talk me TJ Yeldon in Buffalo? Would you rather stash Yeldon or Ido Smith, standard scoring league? You could talk me into Yeldon now that he's the third back there in PPR over Ido Smith. I don't know if Ido's going to be an every down guy if Freeman gets hurt. Come on. Okay. There is no way I'm taking TJ Yeldon over Ido Smith.

Ido Smith is going to get work and potentially some touchdowns. TJ Yeldon is only going to catch passes. There is no path to TJ Yeldon becoming an every down back. They'd have to have two injuries, whereas Ido Smith is one injury away from getting maybe 12 carries a game for a much better offense. No way. And by the way, this is a standard scoring league.

But this is an easy one. Ido Smith all the way over Yeldon. Okay. I'm totally with you. Non-PPR, fine. Even in PPR? Because I said PPR. Well, okay, Jamie, what would you do in PPR?

Ito Smith or Yeldon? Oh, I mean Ito Smith. Just because it's going to take two injuries in Buffalo for TJ Yeldon to be a featured guy. It's going to take one injury in Atlanta for Ito Smith to be a featured guy. Ito will make your eyes bleed-o. That wasn't as good as E-I-E-I-do. And Yeldon will make you Yelp for help. Yeah, how about neither of these guys?

You know who's better than both these guys, Jamie? Adam. Dare Ogumbowale. I'd rather have him. I don't agree. Ido Smith is going to have a role. I don't like Ido Smith, but he's going to play. The only role he's on is the slow role.

Okay. From Derek, I got Julio Jones in round one in a three-receiver PPR league with a flex. I ended up getting Calvin Ridley at the end of round five. Do you think I could start both of them, or should I consider putting Ridley on the trading block early in the season? If you get something great in return, sure.

Yeah. Maybe take offers on Ridley after he has a big game. He might have one week one. Yeah, I know. Against Minnesota, I said it. Why would he have one week one? Because he won't see Xavier Rhodes, and I think Atlanta's going to have to throw a decent amount. I'm still scared of Matt Ryan.

I wouldn't use him this week. And you're going to start Julio no matter what. So I think this is a philosophical question. If Julio Jones gets hurt and you own Calvin Ridley, you may just have a wide receiver one now. Obviously, you don't want Julio to get hurt. But if Julio Jones doesn't get hurt, if Julio Jones gets hurt and you don't have Calvin Ridley,

you're going to regret it. So I don't know. Do you want to own both of them or would you rather diversify? I don't know if I'd make it a point to try and get both of them in the draft, but it just sounds like round five, the best player that Derek liked

was Ridley, and so he took him. And there's going to be plenty of weeks where both are going to be good, but one will be significantly better than the other. We saw that a lot last year. Let's promote a couple things here. CBS Sports HQ, big time CBS Sports HQ week,

every day Monday through Friday, noon Eastern. Watch HQ on the CBS Sports app. And this week we did a show last night from 8 to 9 p.m. We got another one tonight, Tuesday night.

is getting posted you get some feedback from our listeners just go to Facebook and type in fantasy football today fill in the blank from our listeners this is from Ryan Peterson Ryan Peterson I took my homes in round three and should feel blank great

like a stud you feel fine about it he's not going to be qb1 again uh what do you mean he's not going to be one again i don't know the field you're gonna take deshaun watson i love the dan marino comparison dan marino had his had like that the most amazing season ever for a quarterback in his second year and he never replicated it and and that was the first of three straight years in which he led the nfl in touchdown passes he was great and he never replicated it. And that was the first of three straight years in which he led the NFL in touchdown passes. He was great, but he never replicated it. And that's what I expect from Mahomes.

Was he the number one fantasy quarterback the year after? Probably. The year after, Mark Duper only played eight games, and Marino's numbers suffered a little bit. But the year after that, Marino had another massive year, but it was never as good as, what was it, 83? Five? Four?

Damn it. Never as good as 84. Fun fact, Dan Marino loves Twizzlers. Really? Yeah. I haven't had, ooh. I haven't had Twizzlers in so long. Great movie theater candy.

Because you don't make such a loud crunching noise to annoy everybody else, you know? All right. Instead, you just chomp on plastic. I love it. Twizzlers are very good. From Pete Farmer, Sony Michelle will finish this season as blank. Number 20 running back.

Top 20 running back in non-PPR. Top 25 running back in PPR. Boom. From Mikey, blank will make me regret taking him in the first round. Le'Veon Bell. David Johnson. Greg Olson.

Why did you take Greg Olson in the first round, Mikey? That was really... Ty Langston says, Most likely candidate for the 2019 Alvin Kamara is... Is that based on Kamara's rookie year? Probably. Yeah, I think that's what he's looking for. Last year, I wrote the story about finding

the best number three running back on a team's roster. It was easy. It was Nick Chubb for me, and he became that guy. Who is it this year? I got a candidate for you, if you want someone. Just shut up. No, I was going to say Justice Hill. Yeah, I don't know if he's technically third

on the depth chart, though. I don't know that it matters that much. I wouldn't be that specific about it. I just like a late-round pick that can be amazing. Darwin Thompson. Yeah, that could work. And I still think Ronald Jones. Ronald Jones?

No. Adam. Okay, from Suddy. Melvin Gordon will come back week blank. Ten. Ten. From Ethan, best case scenario, Jimmy Garoppolo will have blank passing yards and blank touchdowns. 28 touchdowns, 4,400 yards.

Yeah. That's a pretty good year. I mean, I think for him to really pop, he's got to hit the 30 touchdown mark. That's been a problem for him. But that's not a top five year, Adam. No, 44 and 30? No, that's not a top five year. That's a top 10 year.

Yep. Derek Brown. You need more than that from Garoppolo for your bold prediction. Yeah, I do. Derek Brown, Adam has top blank worst movie taste. Two. Five. No.

I have not recommended one bad movie. Like, I just... That doesn't happen. Every movie I like is good. Recommend three movies right now. Okay. I'm in Connecticut. I've got nothing to do at night.

I'm going to watch some movies. What am I watching? The Way Way Back. It's awesome. Prisoners. Those are the two that I always... This to do at night. I'm going to watch some movies. What am I watching? The Way Way Back. It's awesome. Prisoners. Those are the two that I always, this is my first two. Prisoners is great.

And Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Is that too like best picture? Is that not obscure enough? I don't know. I don't even know what those movies are. Prisoners is Hugh Jackman. His son gets kidnapped. Does he turn into the Wolverine?

Basically. The Way, Way Back is like a nice coming-of-age story with Sam Rockwell. And Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri also has Sam Rockwell. I believe he won Best Supporting Actor. And it's probably the best movie I've seen in the last five years.

It's terrific. Thomas Davis says, Blank will be a great buy- low a few weeks into the season. You know who might be a good buy low is Aaron Jones. I was going to say that. Yeah, yeah. I'm hopeful for Aaron Jones. They have a very tough schedule to start.

And I think we can wrap it up with that. Well, let's read one more. The number one running back in week one is Blank. Saquon Barkley? I don't see it. It's going to be someone else. Kamara. Chris Carson.

Chris Carson. It could be Chris Carson. All right. It could be Tony Pollard. Thank you for your fill in the blanks. Guys, who are the players that you have the most shares of? Darren Waller. Really?

I got a lot of them. Matt Breida. I practice what I preach. Matt Breida. I got a lot of Cam Newton. Who's the first player Dave's going to cut after week one? Darren Waller. I'm not going to cut him after week one.

I'm going to give him at least two weeks. Can't give up after one game. It's so crazy that you have this Darren Waller tight end two strategy. I'm just trying to find the next George Kittle, man. That's the thing. I liked OJ Howard so much last year

and... He's playing Detroit? Charles Clay? He's playing in Detroit. Oh, in Detroit. I liked OJ Howard so much last year and George Kittle made sense as possible breakouts, and I just don't know that that exists at tight end this year. You know, like an uber-talented guy. But maybe it's Waller.

Oh, no, Hawkinson, I'd say, based on ADP. I like him, too. If I were going to draft again, I would probably make it a point to draft. Oh, I have two drafts. I forgot. I'd probably make it a point to get T.J. Hawkinson. Like, I'm kind of into it. I would probably make it a point to draft. Oh, I have two drafts. I forgot. I'd probably make it a point to get TJ Hawkinson. Like, I'm kind of into it. I took him in a Keeper League draft with my last pick, and I was thrilled to death because I get him in my last pick before kicker and defense.

My 13th round selection. That's awesome. Wow. That's great. No, he's going to be – Hawkinson is going to be an amazing tight end. Like, he's one of the few prospects in this draft class that when you evaluated him, you knew they'd make the... He's going to be a pro bowler.

He's going to be a very, very good player for Detroit. Let's do a startup dynasty draft right now. Who's the first? First pick, Saquon. No, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Rookie only, rookie only. What?

Rookie only draft is what I meant. I still would take Jacobs 1. So if I get the first pick, that's where I'd go. If you're asking where would I take Hawkinson? Yeah, let's do the top five. You can make a case for Hawkinson 4, 3 or 4. Miles Sanders 3 after Montgomery? It depends how into Singletary, I would say.

Yeah, Singletary's up there too. If you were to look back, I would say. If you – yeah, Singletary is up there too. If you were to look back at – I'll pull it up while you're talking. A rookie-only draft. Are you talking about like what the rookie-only draft was like two months ago? Like before training camp? So funny. Oh, my gosh. How about our dynasty league where Nikhil Harry was the top three pick?

Hawkinson was the top three pick in that one. Nikhil Harry was the top three pick in almost every dynasty. And we thought at the time, Hawkinson, top three, that's kind of crazy. Nikhil Harry, top three. I think Harry was second and Hawk was third. And I remember that because I had the fourth pick. And I had Montgomery. And I was crazy about Paris Campbell.

I made a huge trade to get early in round one to pick up Campbell, too. This was right after the NFL draft. So Josh Jacobs went one. Nikhil Harry, two, which in a lot of leagues was the case. TJ Hawkinson, three. David Montgomery, four. Miles Sanders, five. Paris Campbell to Dave, six.

DK Metcalf, seven. Mecole Hardman, eight. Marquise Brown, nine. Kyler Murray, ten. I took Daryl Henderson at 11. I bet you can guess who took Hakeem Butler at 12. I'll leave out the defensive guys. Devin Singletary went next, followed by Justice Hill, Debo Samuel, Noah Fant, Alexander Madison,

A.J. Brown, Miles Boykin to Heath, Damian Harris, Benny Snell, Darwin Thompson, Andy Isabella. I took Deontay Johnson. You didn't have a second round pick, right? I did not. I traded him. JJ Ortega, white side. All right.

So just read the top five again. Top five was Josh Jacobs, Nikhil Harry, TJ Hawkinson, David Montgomery, and Miles Sanders. I mean, that's pretty good. It's a shame that Nikhil Harry's season's been derailed. I guarantee if you did the draft right now, again, it'd probably be the same four guys. Maybe Harry falls out of the top five, and you could put... Singletary. Probably Devin Singletary in there, too.

I think Darwin Thompson should be up there also, just because he could be the starter for them next year. And I gotta say, this is why... I mean, this isn't a great example, but not every draft was like that. But I don't really care... I hate to say this. I don't really care. I hate to say this. I don't really care what fantasy analysts have to say about rookie-only drafts like right after the NFL draft. I kind of believe that you as a fantasy owner should believe,

like just get some conviction about somebody and take who you want. Because we just don't have enough information. We just don't have enough information at that point. Things are going to change so much. I've been ridiculed for some picks that I've just liked guys a lot more than other people have, and sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't. But at that point,

you were talking about players who have not played one single snap. We haven't seen them in the preseason. We don't know how much the team likes them, and we're trying to guess. Rookie-only drafts, I feel like you have some freedom to do what you want. Obviously, you've got to take Josh Jacobs. I think with rookie-only drafts, I feel like you have some freedom to do what you want. Obviously, you've got to take Josh Jacobs. With drafts, you take talent

and situation. Yes, I agree. I agree, but we don't know talent that well. I mean, that's, I guess, kind of what... Well, I mean, you're talking about the first few guys that were drafted. Jacobs was a first-round pick, stepping into a good situation. They all make sense. They all make sense. Let me... I don't want to kind of... we've got a lot more to get to here.

I want to get bold predictions week one streamer. I'm sorry to derail things there. All right, we'll take another quick break on fantasy football today. We've got more news and notes when we come back, plus our bold predictions for 2019. Metrolinks and Crosslinks are reminding everyone to be careful as Eglinton Crosstown LRT train testing is in progress. Please be alert, as trains can pass at any time on the tracks remember to follow all traffic signals be careful along our tracks

and only make left turns where it's safe to do so be alert be aware and stay safe news and notes. The Colts signed Jacoby Brissett to a two-year $30 million deal. Nikhil Harry is on IR and the Patriots re-signed Demarius Thomas. They get Pittsburgh on Sunday night. Do you have any interest in Demarius Thomas? No.

Deepest of leagues. Cincinnati. As a wide receiver who's more of a tight end. Cincinnati left tackle Cordy Glenn is still in the concussion protocol. So he may not play. He's not even supposed to be their left tackle.

But the guy that was supposed to be is out for the year. And Seattle's DST is only 39% owned. And they might just destroy it. Yep. Yeah.

They should be owned. Absolutely. If you drafted the Texans, make the switch. Go get Seattle. They're going to crush Cincinnati in week one. At Pittsburgh in week two.

And then New Orleans at home in week three aren't great. But it's a better unit now than it was a week ago. Sure. Green Bay cornerback Kevin King may be able to play on Thursday, but he will not have a full workload. Jimmy Graham should play.

He was limited with a finger injury. Trey Burton was limited in practice, so he might be able to play. Denver linebacker Todd Davis could play this week, which apparently would have quite an effect on their run defense at Oakland. That's not an easy start for Josh Jacobs. Christian Kirk will return punts, for those of you in those types of leagues. Robbie

Anderson trending towards playing in week one. Amari Cooper's likely going to play week one. And Derek Henry will play week one. Let's get bold, baby. Bold predictions. Jamie, start us off with a bold prediction. I'll just say one that I've been saying for weeks. Nick Chubb will be the number one running back in fantasy

for the first eight weeks of the season. Okay. What about for the full season? We'll find out, but I'm looking for a hot start. So Nick Chubb should be a top five running back in non-PPR, top six in PPR. Dave? Bold prediction.

Yes. Leonard Fournette will finish with over 1,500 total yards and 12 touchdowns. Yep. Yep. I like it. I saw him. We were looking at some draft boards last night on HQ, and he went 12th or something like that. I think it was a 10-team league. And Fournette. And you know what?

I don't have a problem with that. If you don't think you're going to get him in round three, it's hard to find a running back who's going to dominate touches. You can't find... Zico, it's the only one. Barkley, I don't know. It's hard to find a running back who's going to dominate touches like Fournette. Our former colleague, Nick Costas, had a draft last night,

and he took his first three picks. He had... I forget his first round pick was. Oh, he took Zeke at six. I think this is draft. He took Zeke at six. I think this is draft. He took Zeke at six. He took Dalvin Cook in round two, and he took Leonard Fournette in round three.

Yeah, I mean, Leonard Fournette would never last that long in our leagues, but we talked about it like in the leagues that we are in. But in CBS leagues, he might. But on Yahoo, his ADP is late round three in a 12-team league. So if you have a top six pick, I'd say you can basically game plan to get Fournette in round three. I can't guarantee it. So that's Dave's bowl prediction number one for me.

Jimmy Garoppolo, top five quarterback. Kyle Shanahan, great track record. Garoppolo has averaged an 8.5 yards per attempt with San Francisco. That's really good. And this is the offense. What? YPA for life. YPA for life. This is the offense that I think could, you know, join that group of amazing offenses. It's a bit of a dark horse, but I like the Niners. All right. I'll take one more. I'll take one step further for you. The 49ers, Marquise Goodwin and Matt Breida will be their best receiver and running back.

Yeah, I mean, that's kind of the problem. They just have so many guys. Go ahead, Jamie, with number two. Again, I'll just kind of go back to another one. Lamar Jackson goes for 3,000 and 1,000 and becomes the top five fantasy quarterback this year. 3,000 yards, 1,000 turnovers. Very impressive year. A lot of fumbling for him. 3,000 yards 1,000 turnovers very impressive

a lot of fumbling for him yeah you know it's funny because I talk about the Drew Brees Lamar Jackson pairing and how you can

sit Brees in all his road games and start Jackson but week one start Jackson for every game but week one would be really tough

because they both I think are set up for a lot of success with Brees at home against the Texans. Well, I mean, we'll find out how bad this Texans defense could be. They still may be decent. Honestly, there are almost no defenses that I think stop Drew Breeze

at home in primetime. Am I crazy? I guess I should go. I have to go back and look at how he did at home in primetime last year, but I know his track record is just outstanding. Oh, for sure. Yeah, and it's like it's week one. It's going to show off. And he went off week one. It wasn't

a primetime game, but he went off week one last year when the shock of all shocks that they were chasing the Bucs. Oh, okay. Dave, bowl prediction number two. Cooper Cup will be the Rams' best fantasy receiver. Yeah, we have acted as if he did not tear his ACL,

or at least we're not worried about it. And I'm there, too. Rams aren't worried about it. They didn't even give him a non-contact jersey when training camp started. Cool. All right. For me, Derrick Henry is less than 60% owned by Week 8. I seriously doubt that will happen,

as people will be stubborn about it, but my prediction is basically Derrick Henry is one of the biggest busts in fantasy. I have no interest in him. Adam, we saw on our HQ show on Monday night that people were still taking Derrick Henry as soon as round two in some of the draft boards that we saw. It's preposterous. His ADP is round four, and I think that's preposterous. I have a hard time taking him in round four.

Some of the drafts we did, I got him in round seven. I love that. Yes. I think in a non-PPR, if you got him in late, late, late round five, I think you should feel pretty damn good. Yeah. A guy who doesn't catch passes, it's too easy for the game script to go bad. Calvin, oh, sorry, my last one.

Calvin Ridley's a top 10 wide receiver. I think he could be the next Juju Smith-Schuster. And we know the schedule's pretty good for Atlanta in terms of a bunch of indoor games, just opportunities for Calvin Ridley. The schedule's actually tough. The schedule's tough? The setup, the environment's good. Okay.

Jamie, what's your third? I think they're going to be in a lot of games where they're going to have to throw, period. Yeah. It's a bold prediction. You can't get mad at me if I'm wrong. Calvin Ridley, top 10. Jamie, third bold prediction? Wait a minute.

Is this the bold prediction segment or say whatever you want and if it happens, then you look like a genius and if not, then who cares? I mean, they're basically the same thing. This is my favorite segment. Oh, okay. Then I got to start changing some of my bold predictions. Everything on FFT should just be in the guise of bold predictions. What do you got, Jamie? Evan Ingram

will be the number one fantasy tight end. Oh. Yeah. Sexy. I like it. You are definitely more in on the next three than the first three. Oh, 100%. The ADP is just so much better. Okay. Cool. Evan Ingram.P is just so much better. Okay, cool.

Evan Ingram. Evan Ingram's very good. Dave? Kyler Murray will finish as a top 12 fantasy quarterback. Not bold enough. You can take Jamie's excitement about... Not bold enough. Fine.

He's going to be the number one quarterback in the history of fantasy football. He's going to be better than Michael Vick was so many years ago, better than Dan Marino in all those years, better than Patrick Mahomes. He is going to break fantasy scoring. He's going to be better than Michael Vick was so many years ago, better than Dan Marino in all those years, better than Patrick Mahomes. He is going to break fantasy scoring. He's going to be amazing. There you go. 60 touchdowns, 6,700 yards, one interception.

Do you have any leagues where Kyler and Darren Waller are your starters, that quarterback and tight end? I do not. But I have leagues where they're both on my bench. But not a starter. No, not a starter I have leagues where they're both on my bench. But not a starter. No, not a starter. I don't have to draft him as starters.

You're right. Yeah, so I said on HQ, my bold prediction was that TJ Hawkinson gets 2,000 yards and 18 touchdowns. The greatest year in tight end history. But Dave just totally one-upped me with his Kyler Murray predictions. Well, I mean, we can say whatever we want right now. And if we're wrong, so what?

Exactly. Okay, last break of the show. When we come back, week one streamers and some NFL predictions. We'll pick our division winners and whatnot. We're going to do that with Heath and Ben tomorrow as well, so everybody can get their picks in. And your email is at fantasyfootball

So I think the Cardinals did not give up a lot of fantasy points to quarterbacks last year because their run defense was so bad. Do you worry that could happen in this scenario? Oh, I'm not hoping to start Matthew Stafford if I don't have to, but I'll give you an example of one league where I am starting. I'm starting with Matt Ryan in a dynasty league where I have Wentz, Ryan, and Stafford. Why aren't have to, but I'll give you an example of one league where I am starting. I'm starting with Matt Ryan in a Dynasty league where I have Wentz, Ryan, and Stafford. Why aren't you starting Wentz? It's super flex, sorry.

Ah, that makes sense then. I'll still go Matt Ryan over Matthew Stafford for the reason that you said. I think that the Cardinals run defense is going to be a sieve. Stafford might have 202. Isn't it sieve? Sieve, sieve, sieve. It doesn't matter.

It's a bold prediction. Their pass defense had Patrick Peterson. Right, that's the thing. They're down. Their cornerbacks are injured or suspended. No Patrick Peterson.

Patrick Peterson. And that does help. Stafford's 46% owned. Would you rather stream Jimmy Garoppolo or Matthew Stafford? Garoppolo at Tampa Bay. Garoppolo.

Okay, he's 70% owned. Yeah. How about the guys in the Jets-Bills gameolo at Tampa Bay. Garoppolo. Okay. He's 70% on. Yeah. How about the guys in the Jets-Bills game? Both are available. Allen and Darnold. I like Darnold better than Stafford. I like Allen better than Darnold. So this is another situation where the Bills actually gave up the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks last year.

They saw the second fewest pass attempts per game. They were good on a yards per attempt basis, but you just ran and ran and ran all over them. So that's why I don't know how I feel about Darnold in this game. And, you know, I'm going to say this now. I'm going to say this during the starter sit episodes. I don't know what last year's stuff means. Not much.

In this case, it doesn't mean anything because it's a whole new Jets offense. True, but I mean, Bill's defense still could be really bad against the run, and they were legitimately good against the pass last year. Is Tredavious White playing? I believe so. Yeah, I think he is. Well, they added Ed Oliver in the draft and he's looked pretty good this preseason, and their

linebackers are as healthy as they can be. It's going to be a good defense. Okay. Alright, so Matthew Stafford's a good option, and Jimmy Garoppolo, 70% owned, a very good option, hopefully. If he can't do it against the Bucs, then I'm going to have to change my bold prediction. Running backs, any running backs to stream?

If you're looking for some PPR guys, Chris Thompson is 48% ownedaylen richard is 38 owned and they could clearly be involved in their offenses tj yelled is 10 owned we don't know how that's going to go in buffalo so he could have a you know decent role um dario gumballale if it's going to be an up and down type of game and they want to use him in the passing game, he's free. He has no ownership. And then if you're looking for maybe a sneaky guy, Justice Hill with the Ravens is 52% owned, and they could be in a blowout game where they can use him maybe pretty handily.

Also, just given how bad the Cardinals' run defense is, if CJ Anderson is going to get a decent workload, he's 38% of them. What's Naheem Hines' ownership at? Naheem Hines is at 35%. Okay. I like him in PPR as a streamer. What do you think about Ty Montgomery? I'd like to see how this all works before I would consider using him

by any stretch, but he's in, you know, one of the guys I've mentioned in the waiver wire. Okay. Yeah, I think that it's, you know, there are no buys this week, so you don't have to go too crazy, but it's really not hard to see Chris Thompson catching like seven passes, right? I mean, they're going to be trailing. Absolutely.

And he got off to an amazing start last year before getting hurt. I think the one thing like with Darnold and Montgomery and like I'm writing about Chris Herndon, the Jets aren't, I think, very good options as their second-tier guys. You're obviously drafting Robbie Anderson, Jameson Crowder, and Le'Veon Bell, but they're going to be amazing waiver-wire guys because their buy is early. That's the thing that stinks. Their buy is early in Week 4.

But if you can sort of wait to pick these guys up, they could be really good down the stretch. So that means Chris Herndon's not back till week six. He's not back till week six. But if you're telling me, and there's a handful of number two tight ends that you can look at. Some of the also-ran guys of Jimmy Graham, Greg Olson,

Kyle Rudolph, they're all in that range. You could look at a high upside guy like Darren Waller. I'll take Chris Herndon over all of them because I think once you get to week six and the rest of the year, he's going to be a number one tenant. Oh, dude. My brother, I help him with his draft every year,

and like 50% of it is telling him who to pick. 50% of it is telling him not to pick Jets. And he's like, dude, you know who's going to be really good? Chris Herndon. I'm like, come on. He's suspended four games. You don't have to draft Chris Herndon. I'm like, come on. He's suspended four games. You don't have to draft Chris Herndon, man. That's a unicorn for him because he's a hurricane on the Jets.

Yeah, I know. I know. You don't have to draft him, but he's going to be, I'm telling you. Couldn't you draft Waller or Hawkinson? And then after the first couple of weeks, if they bottom out, assuming you have another tight end, you just pivot to Herndon. Yeah, I would easily go Hawkinson over Waller just because of schedule. But did you know who I did tell in the draft

actually, as the Zach Ertz owner, and he's in like a 17-round draft, so the benches are a little deeper. I think if you own Ertz and you're in that situation, I think it's worth owning Goddard. I think Ertz is the only tight end worth handcuffing. Yeah, I mean you can make maybe an argument for Rudolph

if you want to go really deep. What? What do you mean? If you want to handcuff you want to go really deep. What? What do you mean? If you want to handcuff Kyle Rudolph to Irv Smith. Oh, to Irv Smith. That's if you're in like a 22-team league. But like. Start a tight end.

I mean, I could see Goddard being a top five tight end if Ertz were out. Sure. Yeah. Okay. Wide receivers to stream. How about John Brown? Love Marquise Goodwin. Yeah, Marquise Goodwin, 43%. I also put down John Brown, 59% at the Jets.

So the way, like, for the guys, people are going to read the story, it's kind of like a late-round flyer type thing for those of you still drafting, and then the first run of waivers. I think you absolutely take a chance on on brown on goodwin um i think you can look at the saints third and fourth receiver depending on how you you view them ted ginn and trae kwan because of the home game against houston you know one of those guys i think is going to score um

yeah i have a couple other names here um i have a bunch i mean i know how deep you want to go dk mckay guys both if he plays yeah he might score a touchdown against the bangles and then like michael gallup is someone that i i feel like i've neglected because i guess there's some buzz on michael gallup actually this is an interesting matchup for him against the giants because they have janoris jenkins who could do a pretty good job at Amari Cooper, but then they're probably starting a rookie at their second corner. And if not, they're going to be a little weak at second corner probably. But people seem to like Michael Gallup.

I'm surprised he's 62% on because I've never even given a thought about drafting him. What do you guys think about him? I kept moving him up in the preseason. I mean, he looked good. And the problem is that there are a lot of mouths to feed there. If Jason Witten has his usual role and Randall Cobb

does anything. But he's going to get a lot of single coverage. I kind of view him as Terrence Williams. He'll have some big weeks. He'll have some weeks where he disappears. You know, when the Cowboys had Dez and Jason and DeMarco Murray. Well, for Gallup,

like Goodwin, Metcalf, and Brown are all owned in fewer leagues than Gallup. It's very close to Brown. But yeah, right? I mean, I think he's a little over-owned. Okay, if there are any other guys, speak now or forever hold your peace. I mean, the two Ravens guys. You can honestly say all four Ravens

guys. That's a problem, right? Because they're all available. I mean, the two Ravens guys. You can honestly say all four Ravens guys. That's the problem, right? Because they're all available. Boykin, Brown, Sleaze, Neen, and Chris Moore if you want them. Those are on the lesser scale. But Boykin's at 16% ownership. Marquise Brown is at 28% ownership. I mean, it's a free space against Miami.

Pick one. Boykin. Boykin makes sense. Damian Willis is also on my list. Going to start at receiver for the Bengals. They're going to chase points. All right, tight end. Will Disley?

He's the only one for... It's funny you say that. I have like eight tight ends that I'm writing about. He's the only one I wrote for week one. What about Witten? I mean, he's 100 years old. I know. What about Waller? Not for week one as. I know. What about Waller?

Not for week one as a streamer. As a streamer? Why not? Against Denver? I thought the Broncos kind of struggled against tight ends. I thought that was their issue. Yeah, I'm not trusting them. How are they going to cover him? How do they cover?

How does anybody cover this guy? I'm so excited about him. I'm sorry. That's awesome. The Broncos last year, they were ninth worst against tight ends. I have to do a little digging there. I'll just throw out two more names. I'll take Vic Fangio over Vance Johnson.

Jeff Swaim against Kansas City. Is he playing? I don't know. He banged up. Yeah. Mark Andrews at Miami? Sure. He's a top 15-er for me.

Yeah, I think he was too owned, though. Oh, okay. And then DST is easy. Like Bengals, 39%. I love the Eagles, 59%. You said Bengals. You mean Seahawks. Seahawks against the Bengals.

Mark Andrews is available in 32% of leagues. He's just over the threshold. I look at him. Oh, okay. Yeah, I mean, like Eagles, Cowboys, Seahawks. I think the Lions in a deeper league. Totally agree. Right?

Eagles, Seahawks, Lions are the three for me based on ownership. Eagles, Seahawks, Lions. Eagles 59%, Seahawks 39%, Lions 9%. Who's your favorite? Eagles. Eagles are my number one DST this week. I've drafted them in so many leagues. And I actually think they could be good this year.

Like, you could keep them, potentially. Yep. Although I don't know that they have a good week two matchup. Well, whatever. We'll figure it out in week two. Who's going to win the AFC East? I'll give you some kickers if you're just looking for drafting. A weak one, guys.

Brett Maher is 57% on. Matt Bryan is 18% on. I mean, that should climb. Yeah, that's a great one to go get uh put him on your team all year dan bailey remember the viking stupid decisions trade for kicker um he's 14 owned and then jason meyers is 45 on why doesn't anybody like alger grosses he's the best player on the giants you heard me saquon barkley oh yeah okay i'm not gonna if you had hot take music we'd be playing it right you wind the Barkley. Oh. Wow. Yeah. Okay. I'm not going to. If you had hot take music, we'd be playing it right now.

Rewind the bold prediction and put that in the bold. Aldrich Rojas, best fantasy option for the Giants. No, I didn't say best fantasy option. I just said best player of the Giants. Oh, best player of the Giants. Yeah. Come on. All right.

Who's winning the AMCs? The Patriots. Who's winning the AMC North? Steelers. Steelers. I have to make, I haven't made any picks yet The Steelers are definitely not winning

I'm not I'm not I don't think the Steelers I think the Steelers No I think the Steelers run is over baby I think

Do I think the Browns are going to win? I'm going to go with the Ravens No I'm going to go with the Browns Okay New England Cleveland

Who's going to win with the Browns. Okay, New England, Cleveland. Who's going to win the South? The Texans. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they're going to win the South. Who's going to win the West? Let me take KC. The Chargers are going to win the West.

Oh, spicy meatball. All right. So, New England, Pittsburgh, Houston, Chargers are going to win the West. Oh, spicy meatball. All right. So New England, Pittsburgh, Houston, Chargers for Dave. New England, Pittsburgh, Houston, Kansas City for Jamie. New England, Cleveland, Houston, Kansas City for Adam. You know what? I'm going to do mine tomorrow. I don't feel comfortable yet.

Dave, who are the wild cards at the AFC? Kansas City and Cleveland. Yeah. Jamie? Miami? Browns and Jaguars. No, no. No, you can't pick the Jaguars on my show.

Why can't he pick the Jaguars? They suck. I almost picked the Jaguars. I've gone back and forth on the Jaguars winning the division. I can see it. It's not out of the realm of possibility. They're good. It's really not.

They're good. But I don't think they're going to make the playoffs. I'm going to take that back. I'm going to say that because now that I'm thinking about it, I think they're going to get to 10-6, but the Chargers are going to still finish with a better record than them. I think the Ravens... If they're 10-6, is that better than what you've got the

Texans at? No, I think the Texans are also 10-6, but they win the tiebreaker. Got it. I think I'm going to have to put the Ravens in. I think the Texans are also 10-6, but they win tiebreaker. Tiebreaker. Got it. Okay. Yeah, I think I'm going to have to put the Raiders. I think that's one of those that they miss because the Chargers are going to have an easier path. All right. Who's going to win the NFC East, which has not had a repeat winner since like 2004 or something? Eagles.

E-A-G-L-E-S. Who won it last year? The Cowboys won it last year. Okay, so no repeat winner. Eagles, Eagles. NFC North. I have a hard time. Packers.

I'm going to take the Bears. Bears, Packers. Okay, NFC South. Saints. Falcons. This division is wide open. How about the NFC West? 49ers.

Yo, the NFC is awesome. The NFC is very fun. You still owe me a bet, by the way. He owes you a bet or he owes you a... He owes me paying off a bet. I think you still owe me like $150 for winning a fantasy league, by the way. Wow.

Really? I'm not sure. How are you not sure if somebody owes you $150? Because when it comes to Jamie. It's not like a lunch. It's $150. I know. I know.

It's like two lunches. Who did you pick to, Jamie, who did you pick to win the West? The Rams. You owe me from our, who will run away with their division more last year, the Rams or the Steelers. Wait, Dave, who did you pick to win the West? Your team didn't even make the playoffs. Dave, who did you pick to win the West?

Seahawks. Seahawks, okay. And wild card teams, Dave? I'm not sure sure I think I'm gonna go Panthers Rams but I feel like I'm copping out by taking the Rams I'm I'm actually not loving the Rams

this year Jamie Panther Saints Panther Saints all right three NFC South teams for Jamie Philadelphia for both you guys Chicago for Dave Green Bay for Jamie Seattle for Dave the Rams for Jamie. Philadelphia for both you guys. Chicago for Dave. Green Bay for Jamie. Seattle for Dave. The Rams for Jamie. Carolina for both of you as wildcard teams. And then

Dave took the Rams and Jamie took the Saints in the wildcard spot. All right. Cool. Do we have time for emails? Yeah, we do. Fantasy football. We're not going to make a Super Bowl. Oh, we went this far that I do have. I'm taking Chiefs over Falcons. I have Chiefs over Falcons.

I have Chiefs over Eagles. Get your shoulder pads and birthmarks ready. It's the Drew Brees Bowl. Saints over Chargers. Weird. Fantasyfootball at cbsi.com. From Mark from the third most populated city in Pennsylvania? Harrisburg.

Allentown. There you go. Is that the real answer? Yeah. Dear Jerome, Willie, Le'Veon, and James.

Steelers running backs. Week one flex. Calvin Ridley or Tevin Coleman? Coleman. Half PPR, by the way. You got to go with Coleman. What's your favorite Billy Joel song? I don't even know the name of it. Piano man.

It's da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da. I'm not a crazy Billy Joel fan. Is that The Entertainer? Yes, that's what it is. That's your favorite Billy Joel song? I like it. Hmm, interesting. I think mine is...

I like all the different noises that are made in that song. She's always a woman to me. You're always a woman to me, Adam. Yeah, that's why. That's why. I identify with it. Hey, you do you, baby. This is No Name or City, Dave.

It's Twan from Rancho Cucamonga, baby. This is no name or city, Dave. It's Twan from Rancho Cucamonga, California. Dear Mitchell, Kirk, Jimmy, and Josh. Those are quarterbacks. They've got to have something else in common besides being quarterbacks, though. Yeah. What is that all about?

All right. I just drafted a 12-team 1QB league. Oh, I know what it is. We're about to find out. I just drafted a 12-team, one QB league. Oh, I know what it is. We're about to find out. 17 quarterbacks were drafted, so I'm stuck with Mitchell Trubisky as my starter. I'm deciding between Trubisky, Josh Allen, Kirk Cousins, and Jimmy Garoppolo as my week one starter.

I actually have a similar decision in a league where I only drafted Andrew Luck. It was a keeper. I only kept Andrew Luck, and I didn't draft another quarterback. This was a few weeks ago. Oh, no. I remember that league. I'm sorry, man. Oh, no. I only kept Andrew Luck, and I didn't draft another quarterback. This was a few weeks ago. Oh, no. I remember that league.

I'm sorry, man. Oh, no. I love my team. Who are your quarterbacks? So right now I have Trubisky, and available are Darnold and Josh Allen. I am probably going to drop Trubisky to start Josh Allen this week and then pick up Sam Darnold in a couple weeks. So I'll go with probably a combination of

Darnold and Allen. I would go Garoppolo. He's not available for me, but I would go Garoppolo for the week one. Jamie just basically answered his own question and ignored Twan in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Jimmy Garoppolo, week one. That's who you should go with.

I think the Packers defense, I think we're going to learn a lot, hopefully learn a lot on Thursday night. I actually like the Packers. Yeah, yeah. It's much improved. What's their ownership? Are they a streaming option? I went streaming this week, but I want to see how they perform

because, I mean, you give decent offenses good time, they'll find a way to be successful. But I want to see this Packers defense. I do think they're going to be good. Yeah. Not a layup like last year. I'm streaming them. You are? All right. I mean, we just going to be good. Not a layup like last year. I'm just naming them. You are?

All right. I mean, we just gave such better options. Philadelphia, Seattle, Detroit. Of course I'm going to go with... Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're behind those guys. But I'll take them over the Texans. I'll take them over a bunch of other DSCs that you may have drafted.

Would you take them over the Jaguars? Go Jaguars. I believe I have them ranked ahead of the Jaguars this week. I think the Jaguars will get enough sacks. From Michael, D.D. Westbrook or Josh Gordon? Did we answer this yesterday?

Even if we didn't, I'd go Westbrook, PPR, Gordon. From Corey in Pennsylvania, is Albert Wilson a reliable flex? I wouldn't use the word reliable, but he's intriguing. PPR flex. And from Christopher in a D.C. burb.

Clarksville. Hey, Ben, Chris, Kate, and Jim. This one I really don't know. Who would you go with as a flex and half PPR? Duke Johnson, Tevin Coleman, Latavius Murray, or Sammy Watkins? Coleman. Ben, Chris, Coleman, Latavius Murray, or Sammy Watkins? Coleman.

Ben, Chris, Kate, and Jim? Is that The Office? No. Just making stuff up. I think it's Parks and Rec. Maybe? Yeah, I don't know. Thanks for listening, everybody.

Let us know who Ben, Chris, Kate, and Jim are. Oh, I know who it is. Yeah, I do too, Jamie. Who is it? No, no, Kate, and Jim are. Oh, I know who it is. Yeah, I do too, J.B. Who is it? No, no, wait. I know who it is. This guy. Go back. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
