Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Saturday Mailbag.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Because five is not enough. We give you six episodes every week. And, you know, we just don't have enough time on the first five shows to answer as many emails as we'd like. So here we are trying to help you out a little bit more. Welcome, everybody, to Fantasy Football today. Hope you're having a great weekend. We are recording this on Friday at 2 p.m. Eastern, so we don't have all that much news. And hopefully week one there won't be that much news.
Starting point is 00:00:43 But I am Adam, and he is Heath Cummings. Hello, Heath. It's wonderful to be here, Adam. I've missed you. Oh, I know, right? Just not enough Adam and Heath podcasting. I think it's funny. I'm looking at FanDuel right now because we're going to talk a little bit about DFS. They give like a status update on players, and Le'Veon Bell has a Q, a questionable mark for contract dispute. So I'm going to have to get him out of my lineup, that's for sure. But before we get to that, let's run through one for some news, but also this thing. How do you respond to people that say, I played against Julio Jones.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I played against Jay Ajayi. I need a lot of upside. What do you think about that philosophy? I try to ignore it for the most part when it comes to my own matchups. But if someone asks me, who do you think has more upside, I will tell them who I think has more upside. Yeah, yeah. But do you subscribe to that philosophy that if you're in a big hole
Starting point is 00:01:41 after Thursday night, you need to start looking for home runs? Not really. Listen, Julio Jones scoring 18 points in a standard league or 28 in a PPR league, that's the other team's best or second best player. That's not enough to make me feel like I'm in a big hole. The JGI thing may be a little different, but I'd reserve it more for a situation when one of their players that isn't great or two of their players that aren't great both have big games on Thursday. Yeah, I think you can end up doing more harm than good if you start thinking about that and just leaving
Starting point is 00:02:16 points on your bench. And some of your players are going to go off too, so that's the fun part. Don't overreact. I tell this story all the time, but gosh, five years ago, I don't know. First Thursday of the season, Peyton Manning threw... He scored like 51 points
Starting point is 00:02:31 against the Ravens. He threw like seven touchdowns. Seven touchdowns, yes. I lost. With Peyton Manning, two quarterback league, I lost by one point to Jamie. I was already counting my victory, and I lost, so it happens. Heath, Marlon Mack practiced
Starting point is 00:02:47 as they get ready for Cincinnati. Any chance Marlon Mack plays? What do you think? It was his second consecutive day of practice. I believe both days were partial participation. I do not expect they're going to run him out there week one. If they do, I don't
Starting point is 00:03:03 expect he'll be a full go. We're not ranking him yet and probably won't until Sunday morning they say he's active. And if Marlon Mack does play, start or sit? I would stay away from every – I'm mostly staying away from every Colts running back no matter what. I think it's good if you – I mean it wouldn't be so bad. He sits this game out, gets healthy, and hopefully this means he's more likely to play in Week 2. Some Giants and Jaguars news. Olivier Vernon out for the Giants.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Safarian Jenkins and Jalen Ramsey in. Alshon Jeffrey says he's still a few weeks away from returning. And the Browns will, in fact, be starting an undrafted free agent at left tackle. And that man's name is Desmond harrison so he will be starting against a pretty good defensive front uh against those pittsburgh steelers first game of the season so what does that mean for your browns if you have them in fan duel well i don't know i mean heath what do you think should we start any browns and fan duel this week oh yeah we're starting some browns this week are we really and? And DraftKings. Tyrod Taylor is my favorite quarterback
Starting point is 00:04:05 value on the slate. And I don't expect he'll be as highly owned as Andy Dalton, which is even better for tournaments.

Starting point is 00:05:01 And now it's time to Read some emails, actually no let's talk a little bit more about DFS so um yeah you gotta have some studs definitely um Le'Veon Bell is the second most expensive player on the board and he's not gonna work don't play him yeah but James Conner like obviously how old do you think James Conner is going to be? Like more than 50%? We had this discussion on FFT today, and Dave actually said he didn't want to play Conner because too many people were going to play him.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I will take the free square. And you don't want to not have the guy. Right, exactly. So he is – I just sent in my list, and I will have a top five plays at each position on FanDuel, DraftKings, and Draft on Sportsline.com later today. James Conner is my number one running back on any site that has a pricing system. Yeah. Now, other running backs we're going to like I'm sure are going to be like – wellara, I think, is a great play amongst the studs and David Johnson, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I will also have a piece on Sunday on contrarian plays, and I use ownership from UF Collective. And Kamara is projected to be the highest-owned running back at this point. That may change by Sunday morning. On FanDuel, he's only my fourth-highest running back that I'm going to be playing. Okay. Behind Johnson and Gordon. Yeah, so I think if you look at the studs, like Kamara, Johnson, Gordon, good matchups. Zeke, Hunt, Fournette, maybe Fournette.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Barkley, McCaffrey, not such great matchups. I'm not playing any of those guys you just mentioned. Not Fournette? Nope. Dalvin Cook, also not such a great matchups. I'm not playing any of those guys you just mentioned. Not Fournette? Nope. Dalvin Cook also not such a great matchup. So I'm assuming you're going to have a little. Kenyon Drake doesn't have a great matchup. Who are the value running backs?
Starting point is 00:06:58 Well, it's James Conner with a bullet. Yeah. Alex Collins, fantastic value. I'll have a ton of him. Royce Freeman, great value on both FanDuel and DraftKings. I'll have a ton of him royce freeman great value on both fan duel and draft kings i'll have a ton of him okay all right um i think antonio brown i'd like to have him in my lineup without levy on bell he could just go crazy i mean he could go crazy no matter what but cleveland terrible against number one wide receivers last year brown torched them and i do think it helps to not have Levy on there.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah, I will have a lot of Antonio Brown. He's my highest projected wide receiver. He's not my favorite in terms of points per price. But I will have a ton of Antonio Brown and Keenan Allen. Is Odell Beckham a contrarian play? Oh, he's very contrarian play. He's not a contrarian play I'm going to be making, but yes. All right, great.
Starting point is 00:07:48 So we're not going to give full lineups here. Let me just get your thoughts on tight end. I love, love, love Jordan Reed. You do, huh? I'm going to have a bunch of Jordan Reed. I'll play some Gronk and some Kelsey for sure. You don't want to miss out on those guys if they have a monster game. If you're looking for a cheap tight end,
Starting point is 00:08:06 I think the chalk play, the cash game play will be Austin Safarian Jenkins. I've been going back and forth on whether I'm just going to play a little bit of him or just fade him completely because I just don't like it. I agree. I don't expect the Giants to be good against
Starting point is 00:08:21 tight ends, but maybe I'm being a little narrow minded on it. If you want a tight end on FanDuel under five I don't expect the Giants to be good against tight ends, but, well, maybe I'm being a little narrow-minded on it. If you want a tight end on FanDuel under $5,000 and you want to be a little more contrarian, I'd go with Benjamin Watson. I'm going to go with Tyler Eifert, I bet, in a lot of my leagues, 5,500. We know the Bengals throw a lot. He has caught a touchdown in half of his games as a pro. Dalton loves tight ends.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I think he can win that matchup. So, all right, that's some Fandle talk for you. Fandle.com slash FFT. Eric from a city in Michigan made specifically for Heath. I know I've tried to figure out what this is. I couldn't find one called Beer Michigan. So I'm going to assume it's the home of wherever Founders Brewing is because that is by far my favorite Michigan brewery. But also Bell's is fantastic as well.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Okay. It's funny that you know that. The question – oh, oh, you know, I forgot actually. This really isn't for you and me, Heath. This is for someone else. It's for the regulators. Dear Ross, Blanche, Dorothy, and Sophia, the Golden Girls. Thank you for being a friend.
Starting point is 00:09:32 I have a league that I'm the commissioner of. We already had a team not set a lineup and started Carson Wentz on Thursday night. What should I do? Normally I give warnings that I will take over a team, but not setting week one? Even more unacceptable than normal. How do you guys handle teams not setting lineups, and how should this situation be treated any differently? I am very different than Scott White is on baseball on this one.
Starting point is 00:09:57 So Scott would say I'm not going to let somebody just not set their lineup. I will hound the guy. I will publicly humiliate the guy. I will call him out in chat rooms, text, voicemail, email, whatever it takes to get him to do it himself, but I'm not setting a lineup for anyone.
Starting point is 00:10:15 So you just let it go? If he's not going to play, then I'm just... He's out of the league, obviously, but I'm not going to set it up. Maybe he just forgot. Then I hope he doesn't next week. I'm a – he's out of the league obviously, but I'm not going to – Maybe he just forgot. Then I hope he doesn't next week. I'm a lucky guy week one. Thank you for being a friend.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It's a good song. It's a good theme song. Oh, it's one of my favorites right below Duke's Hazard. Oh, you're forgetting about Growing Pains. No, I know Growing Pains. I grew up with Growing Pains. You forgot about it. You weren't even old enough to watch Growing Pains. I've watched
Starting point is 00:10:46 it. I've watched it. Next up, Corky from the town. Dion Lewis, Marquis Goodwin, or Josh Gordon? Start one. That's tough. I am the lowest guy by far on Josh Gordon. I don't want to start him on any team unless it's a DFS thing
Starting point is 00:11:03 and I'm just looking for upside. It comes down to Lewis and Goodwin for me. I'm't want to start him on any team unless it's a DFS thing and I'm just looking for upside. So it comes down to Lewis and Goodwin for me. And I'm just going to go to the projections here. I've got Lewis for 10 and 13 fantasy points. I've got Goodwin for 9 and 13. So I'll start Lewis in both. That's standard in
Starting point is 00:11:20 PPR when you say the 10 and 13. This is from The Man, The MythLegend. I have Russell Wilson. Should I start Jared Goff or Andy Dalton ahead of him? I'll go with Goff. I like him quite a bit against the Raiders. They're really bad. Remember, the Google Assistant likes Dalton better
Starting point is 00:11:35 than Wilson, too, so don't forget that. This is from Maxi from the Oktoberfest City in Germany. Okay, great. Dear Sebastian, Bjorn, Moritz, and Marcus. I don't know. It's very German. Who should I drop for a kicker?
Starting point is 00:11:54 Eifert or Gallup? I have Trey Burton, Michael Thomas, AJ Green, Corey Davis, Josh Gordon, and Kenny Stills. Since you have Trey Burton, I drop Eifert. Okay. I don't Eifert. Okay. I don't know who those people are. Sorry about that. This is from Campbell from Scotland.
Starting point is 00:12:16 From Scotland. Dear Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath, who is best this season? Kenny Galladay or Keelan Cole? Keelan Cole? Keelan Cole. The odds are that Keelan Cole is better. I think there's more upside for Galladay. Oh, he tricked you. He tricked you by writing Keelan, and you said Keelan, but he meant Keelan Cole.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Well done. Thank you. Thank you. This is from a guy named Keelan, oddly enough, in Los Angeles. Dear Fox, Cool J, Pacino, and Quaid. That would be any given Sunday actors. Yes. Remember this time last year when people had most likely drafted Terrell Pryor in the fourth round?
Starting point is 00:13:00 Who is this year's Pryor, a player taken in the top five rounds that people will regret drafting? Well, I mean, there's a lot of quarterbacks that people will regret drafting, but I'll leave those out. LaShawn McCoy is a very likely candidate for this, but a little different type player because he at least has the
Starting point is 00:13:21 historical production to justify it. Yeah, I'm thinking, is there like a flash in the pan? I mean, is Juju Smith-Schuster potentially that guy? I'm not going to say that about Juju. I don't think so either. I think Adam Thielen could be that guy, but that's just me. Chris Hogan could be that guy. Yeah, if he's going that early, he could be that guy.
Starting point is 00:13:47 All right. All right. And I'm still slightly worried about Joe Mixon. I think we've put such high expectations on him. Well, Jamie does. Jamie does, yeah. But no, I mean the fantasy community. Well, I think his ADP says people have high expectations for him.
Starting point is 00:14:06 TJ from NorCal, the City of Trees. Hey, Eric, Dion, Tim, and Merton. Those sound like defensive backs. Are they Niners defensive backs? I'm playing the Julio owner this week in PPR. Who has the highest ceiling? Gallup, Breida, Godwin, or Wilkins? Gallup, Brita, Godwin, or Wilkins? Gallup, Brita, Godwin, or Wilkins?
Starting point is 00:14:29 I'd say Brita. Yeah? Highest ceiling? Okay. Tim in Yucaipa, California. Dear Cade, Russ, Wyatt, and Three. Wow,
Starting point is 00:14:50 that's Ozark. What is Ozark? It's a fantastic show on Netflix. I'm in the middle of season two. Season two just came out last week. Nice. Fantastic. You could learn some things about real America by watching that show. Pick two wide receivers and

This is going to really test you. Are you starting Conner? Kamara, Con Connor, and Collins. Wow, okay. This is from Daniel in a city in the Pacific Northwest.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Seattle. Dear Nick, Nelson, and Zach. Those are Eagles starters. Let me on bell owner here whose buddy scooped up Connor before I did. He offered me Amari Cooper And Connor For AJ Green I have already lost Bell and Jarek McKinnon
Starting point is 00:18:32 Should I give up AJ Green for Amari Cooper and James Connor I wonder if the sentence should have ended with Give up Should I give up No don't give up yet I kind of I might try to postpone him to Saturday and see if he'll wait it out. But if Le'Veon Bell's not there on Saturday, I'd make that deal.
Starting point is 00:18:56 And he wants us to say hello to his friend Michael, who just had a beautiful baby girl named Violet Marie. She will be a fan of the pod someday. And how about a congratulations to Michael and family? Okay, Michael. He just got you a shout-out on Fantasy Football today. You can loosen the screws just a little bit. Yeah, a little bit. Make a little better deal.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Congratulations. That's awesome. This is from Matt. Half PPR flex. Stills, Peterson, or Marshawn Lynch? Stills. Stills, Peterson, or Marshawn Lynch? Stills, Peterson, or Marshawn Lynch. Okay, Stills. This is from John. Hey, milk streak,
Starting point is 00:19:32 milk steak, rum ham, canned wine, and riot juice. I feel like Google's gonna break. Oh, it's always sunny in Philadelphia, apparently. Not a fan. Never saw that show. It's not bad. It's not bad. I feel like Google's going to break. Oh, it's always sunny in Philadelphia, apparently. Not a fan. Never saw that show.
Starting point is 00:19:48 It's not bad. It's not bad. They scream a lot. I waited on quarterback and tight end. I ended up with Mariota, Njoku, and Eifert. Dalton and Tyrod are available and ranked higher than Mariota. Would you drop one of my tight ends to pick them up or drop Mariota or stay put? Also, I would say Vick or Ryan, but Ryan already played. I would say I would drop Joku for Dalton.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Start Dalton and Eifert. You've got to keep Mariota, though, right? Yeah, I'd keep Mariota. Scott from Boston. Dear Nick, Tom, Peyton, and Tom. The last four Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. Is that true? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:30 That's probably true. Yeah, that's, yes. Alex Collins, James Conner, or Jamal Williams in PPR? Conner. Okay. You better hope he has a good game. Maya in a capital city south of Baltimore. Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Dear Magic, Kareem, Jordan, and Wilt, thank you. I have Connor. I have Gordon, Howard, and Mixon. Should I start Connor over any of those guys? Gordon, Howard, Mixon. I would start Gordon, Connor, and Howard. This is Dan from Vermont. Dear Mark, Chad, Vin Connor, and Howard. This is Dan from Vermont. Dear Mark, Chad, Vinny, and Joe.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Those are Jets quarterbacks. They are. I traded away Stefan Diggs. I'm on fire today, by the way. Yeah, you're crushing it. I traded away Stefan Diggs and Jamal Williams for Devontae Adams in a 12-team non-PPR league. How did I do? Give up
Starting point is 00:21:25 Diggs and Jamal Williams, get Devante Adams. I think you overpaid. Think so? D plus. Ooh, alright. I mean, you could at least give him a C minus. I thought about it, and then I thought, you know, let's be impactful. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:23:06 Hoyer, Bethard, Kaepernick. The heat is on today. It's football season. I need some good karma. Should I play a Marty Cooper versus the Rams or Kenny Stills versus the Titans? Cooper.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Dear Jim, Brett, Eli, and Nick. Those are also Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. Sure. Why not? I need a high upside flex in PPR. James White or Keelan Cole?
Starting point is 00:23:40 I'll go James White. Oh, you were right. There's a quarterback who have all beaten the Patriots in the Super Bowl. There you go. Nice. Dear Three Wise Men from Brandon in Denver, Marquise Goodwin, Corey Davis, Trey Burton, or Matt Breida? Marquise Goodwin, Corey Davis, Trey Burton, or Matt Breida?
Starting point is 00:23:58 I know it's not great when I have to go check the projections in between these, but I think it makes more sense here. Do we know if this is PPR or non-PPR? I don't know. Okay. That's very helpful. Tell us if it's PPR or non-PPR. But I'm really leaning Goodwin.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Goodwin. Okay. This is an email from Brian in Ireland's biggest county. I don't know. Dear Vincent, Jules, Butch, and Winston. That is that show that you like that I've never watched. No, the Heath is off. I've never seen it before.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Scott White likes it a lot too. You're thinking about New Girl, but I'm pretty sure this is Pulp Fiction, buddy. Oh, well, that's an awful movie. It is? I honestly have not seen it in so long, but it's Pulp Fiction. It can't be an awful movie. You've got to be wrong about that. Yeah, and this is where people don't like me,
Starting point is 00:25:02 but a large majority of Quentin Tarantino movies, I think, are wildly overrated. I don't know that I disagree. Well, I would say, no, I disagree. The only one I really don't like, I don't know if I've seen his latest, I don't like Django Unchained so much. That's one of the only ones that I like.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Oh. Boy, our team's going to be fun to manage. We agree on everything. The question from Brian is, Jalen Samuels for the Steelers. Could he have some value in the opening weeks? I could use him as a tight end or a running back. I think if he's tight end eligible, then you should definitely add him and see how week one goes. This is from Daniel.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Hey, Kenny, Albert, Danny, and Mike. Those are the wide receivers for the Miami Dolphins. They sure are. Pick two in PPR. Jamal Williams, James Conner, Doug Baldwin. Sit Baldwin. 12-team PPR league from Eric in a town northeast of St. Paul. Minneapolis.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Is that northeast? St. Paul? Minneapolis. Is that northeast? Adam. I'm looking to replace Mahomes in week one with Andy Dalton. Should I drop Rashad Penny or Muhammad Sanu? Oh, this may be too late. Oh, you should have dropped Muhammad Sanu, for goodness sake. Why would you own Muhammad Sanu? If you can still do it, do it. Drop Sanu.
Starting point is 00:26:27 You can't. You clearly can't. Some can. I had an email exchange with somebody who asked me about dropping Calvin Ridley today, and I said, well, you can't drop Ridley. He said, my league allows it. We have to wait another four days to drop Carson Wentz.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Ha ha. So the question from Colin in a small town outside Denver. Small town outside Denver. Tell you right. He says, hey, Dick, Mike, Brian, and Khalil. Dick, Mike, Brian, and Khalil. Those are all Chicago Bears linebackers.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Yeah, wow. I mean, this guy is just crushing it today, everybody. Colin wants to know, in the 10-team standard scoring league, he's got Brown, Hopkins, Diggs, and Hilton. And then Brown, Hopkins, Diggs, Hilton, Collins, Drake, and Carson are his running backs. My goodness. He got Collins and Drake in rounds five and six. I've been offered Kareem Hunt for T.Y. Hilton and Chris Carson.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Would you do that? Oh, yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes. This is from Nichelle in a city in New England. Boston. No, I'm sorry. It's in Providence. I mean, maybe.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Dear Randall, Kevin, Jack, and Toby. I often get told I look like a character from this movie or show. This is us. Dude, this is really impressive. Really impressive. Super flex, half PPR. Should I flex Jamal Williams or Will Fuller? Jamal Williams, easily.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Let me ask you this. Would you flex Jamal Williams or Eli Maner? Jamal Williams easily. Let me ask you this. Would you flex Jamal Williams or Eli Manning? Ooh. That is an interesting question. Yeah. I think in PPR I would go with Williams.
Starting point is 00:28:19 In non-PPR, I'd probably still go Eli. From Dan, Dear Mitch, Jay, Rex, and Kyle. Oh, no. Am I going to mess this up finally? No, I'm not, Modern Family. No. I think these are Bears quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Oh, okay. Yeah. Mitch and Jay are from Modern Family, but those are Bears quarterbacks. I need to start two and a half PPR. Jamal Williams, James Conner, Marvin Jones, and Royce Freeman. Jamal Williams and James Conner. And finally, from Nate in the second biggest city in Minnesota. That one is definitely St. Paul.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I don't hear much from you guys about Deion Lewis. I currently have Deion Lewis as my RB2 behind Jordan Howard with Adrian Peterson, Matt Breida, Sonny Michelle, Marlon Mack, and Mark Ingram. Who should I start in week one beside Howard? I'm starting Deion Lewis. I'll read them again for the listeners. Deion Lewis, Peterson, Breida, that's it. Deion Lewis?
Starting point is 00:29:24 Deion Lewis, yes. And secondly, should I be comfortable with this group of running backs howard peterson lewis brita michelle mac mark ingram or should i turn to move one of my wide receivers beckham evans digs crowder i don't think i'd be uncomfortable with this because your receivers are elite and as long as you get to week five at two and two then you're starting jordan howard and mark ingram with elite wide receivers and i see your quarterback is drew breeze i like it i gotta tell you something heath i'm not gonna play the music again but according to minnesota-demographics.com st paul is in fact the second biggest city in the state.
