Later in the show, Saturday afternoon, or morning for you, We did plenty of your emails. Starters did great to trade, add, drop, that kind of stuff. And a little fan will help. Later in the show, Saturday afternoon or morning for you. Saturday morning. It's Friday afternoon for us as we record this. Welcome to Fantasy Football Today.

Adam Azer and Jamie Eisenberg. Jamie, how's your weekend? You got big plans this weekend or what? My son has a baseball game on Saturday. My other son has a soccer game on Saturday. Are you coaching? My other son has a soccer game on Sunday. Are you coaching? And both kids have a basketball class thing that they do on Sunday. Are you coaching any of it?

I'm an assistant coach for baseball. I'm the head coach for soccer, but I don't get to stay anymore, so I have to just get them all ready to go, a bunch of four-year-olds, and then they start to play. Wow. Assistant coach. That's pretty – I can't commit during football season. It's hard.

It's pretty weak. Well, let's go through the news. What do you coach? You have a child now. I don't coach anything yet, but I'm not going to be anybody's assistant coach. I would love to see you as a head coach of little kids. Why? That'd be great.

I was a camp counselor once. All right, guys. Let's go. Yeah. What else are you supposed to do? Hey, Johnny. I need you to listen. You don't know anything about soccer, do you?

I know more than you, backup goalie. But you don't know enough to be like a real coach when they get older, right? Of course I do. You do? Yes. Give and go is like the best play ever. Give and go. Nutmeg. I just nutmeg all the time. Greg Olsen set to return.

Where's he in your rankings? Hell of a transition from you. Right around 15. That's it? I mean, look, tight end is so bountiful that you can put Greg Olsen outside the top. You're starting Austin Hooper over him, Cameron Braid over him.

Are we, though? Because Howard's back. He's questionable, so we'll see if he plays. I would start C.J. Uzama over him. I would start Jeff Swaim over him. Uzama gets – I thought it was Uzama, but fine. C.J. Uzama. He gets two targets last week.

Yes, but the Steelers are bad against tight ends. Yeah, they are. And now Tyler Croft is also out. Oh, okay. That's very helpful. But O.J. Howard did practice in full, so we going to back off of Cameron Brait? No. All right.

Jalen Ramsey, 50-50 for this week. They could probably get by without him at Dallas. Leonard Fournette could be back next week. Devontae Freeman is out. Atlanta defensive tackle Grady Jarrett is out. Miami left tackle Laramie Tunsell is in. He will play. That is good.

They need him against the Bears. Isaiah Crowell will be a game-time decision. So hopefully we'll have some questions about Bilal Powell and whatnot and what to do there. Yeah, we talked about that on Friday's show, but we'll talk about it again. Bilal Powell, I know how much you like Chris Carson, let's say.

So would you rather have Carson or Powell if Crowell's out? Carson. Carson. Okay. How about Phillip Lindsay? or Powell? Powell. All right. That's, of course, if Crowell is out.

Anthony Miller will play. We still consider Taylor Gabriel a sleeper. Marlon Mack will likely play. It's definitely a wait and see. But you want to talk about beat the waiver wire? Hey, he's about 62% owned, I think, Marlon Mack. So not a bad speculative ad. Eric Ebron did practice.

Eric Ebron is the most expensive tight end on the FanDuel slate because Earth's already played, and the other two studs are playing Sunday night. So if you just have the Sunday main slate, that's amazing. Eric Ebron is the most expensive guy, and I think I'm going with him. What's going on with the Rams wide receivers? I'm expecting them to play. I mean, it sounds as if they're both going to be fine with the concussion protocol.

I haven't seen anything definitive yet, but it's a good sign that they're trending in the right direction. Okay. And Washington is questionable. They may not play, the Reds. Yes. The entire team. Yeah, no. They definitely have a lot of injuries.

Are you expecting anyone to miss the game? The Crowder, Thompson, Peterson, Richardson. At this point, I would expect the receivers to have the most concern and probably Thompson. Peterson sounds like he's going to play, but I don't want to trust him. Yeah, but even if Thompson's out, you really don't want to – you hate – you really don't like – I just don't like the setup.

I mean, he's already hurt. So one hit to the shoulder. If the report is accurate that he had a separated shoulder, right? Yeah. That's nothing. I mean, imagine if he gets hit on that. What do you know? You're an assistant coach. Alright, so

the Friday night tailgate. Adrian Peterson will not be at that, but James Brown, Phil Sims, Bill Cower, Boomer Esiason, and Nate Burleson will be opening for Dave, Jamie, and Heath. Well, no, not and Nate Burleson will be opening for Dave, Jamie, and Heath. Well, no, not really, but they'll all be there. Dave, Jamie, and Heath will be there along with the NFL CBS crew there. And it's a lot of fun.

So if you live anywhere near the New York area, if you can get to Times Square on Friday night, November 9th at 7 p.m. Eastern, talk football with Bill Boomer, Bill, Nate, Dave, Jamie Heath, and James Brown at the PlayStation Theater in the heart of Times Square. You can email me or tweet

me for more information. But it's Friday night, November 9th at 7pm Eastern. It should be really cool. You have to pay for a ticket. There's Eastern. And it should be really cool. There's, it's, you have to pay for a ticket. There's open bar, gourmet tailgate food. I don't know. It should be really fun. So, check it out.

You forgot one guy, too. Who dat? Drink, Pete Prisco. Oh, that's right. Pete Prisco's gonna be there. And I don't have any water, so I can't drink. I could use some. Let's read some emails. FantasyFootball at CBSi.com. Freddie from Florida.ida cooper cup john brown or chris godwin cooper cup matt from vernon hey driver bowie fox and urban and urban all right so jamie fox

david bowie i don't know who adam driver is driver is adamie. I don't know who Adam Driver is. Adam Driver? What? You don't know who Adam Driver is. Yes, I do. Adam Driver is Kylo Ren. I don't know who that is either. Oh, Adam Driver from Girls! Why did I go to Girls when you went to the comic book movie? Is that what you're laughing about?

That's being tweeted right now. Oh, yeah. Okay. Adam Driver's great. And Keith Urban is for Keith. 10-team non-PPR. Start one running back. Aaron Jones, Alex Collins, Alfred Morris, or Dalvin Cook? I just got asked this question on the radio show, too. Dalvin Cook?

I just got asked this question on the radio show too. Dalvin Cook or Aaron Jones? I want to say Aaron Jones. Say it, Aaron Jones. Cook, just to give everybody an update. Dalvin Cook is questionable. Here's what he said on Friday. Me going out there at 80%, 70%, I'm not going to be able to help my team like that.

At this point, we got a bunch of guys that are 100% that can help the team win football games. At this point, it's just me getting to 100% so I can go out there and be who I am, and that's the explosive. Does that sound like a guy who's going to play? What does that mean? That he is 70% right now? That he's 70% or 80%? I don't like that. He could wake up Sunday morning and feel 100%. I guess so.

It's a big jump. I would plan on him as a low-end star. I have him in a couple of leagues where I don't have... I have the two guys, him and Murray. I'm going to play him if he plays. You're going to play Cook if he plays? Yes. Yeah.

Excuse me. This is from – oh, also a question. Lucker Dalton from Matt. Lucker Dalton. Dalton. P.S. Tell Urban, Keith Urban, to stop being such a Halloween Grinch. I agree. We've got to do something about that.

We've got to decorate the studio. Give them a bunch of candy. I don't know. We've got to do something about that like we got to decorate the studio with how like give them a bunch of candy i don't know we gotta we gotta work on this uh isaac from a city southwest of tulsa dear sal joe murr and q they're from girls now they're impractical jokers half ppr choose a running back and a flex all right first the running back alex collins or aaron jones aaron jones and a flex from collins sanu and stills uh sanu from angel half ppr thompson qt or brita oh uh qt all right let's go to our next emailer, Stephen from Deerfield, Illinois. Dear Gail, Walter, Neil, Matt, and Jordan. Oh, those sound like running backs.

Bears running backs. Yes. Hey, go me. They're from girls, by the way. You just did a redraft of the first round. That got me thinking. Todd Gurley is probably in his own tier in terms of value. If this were a rest-of-season auction draft today with a $200 budget,

how much does Todd Gurley go for and how much would the next guy go for? $200 budget. How much would the next guy go for after Gurley? Yeah, but first how much would Gurley go for? In a $200 budget? Yeah. Probably $75? I'd go for more. You'd spend more on him? I'd go for more.

You'd spend more on him? I'd spend more. That's what I'm talking about. Well, I mean, we had him at about $34, $35, so $100 budget. I could see spending half my budget on him. Wait, this is fab or this is

a preseason auction? Preseason auction. But why would you spend all the rest of your lineup with good players? Not really. You just need Gurley. Wait, this is fab or this is a preseason auction? Preseason auction. But why would you spend – you still have to fill out the rest of your lineup with good players. Not really. You just need Gurley. That's not true. I have a great team with Todd Gurley, and I'm two and three. I bet you've given up a lot of points against.

I have. Yeah. Your team's awesome. Because wide receiver is so deep, tight end is so irrelevant after the first three basically. And quarterback is so cheap. So I don't know if I'd spend $100, but I think

$85 out of $200 on Gurley for me. How much would Gordon go for since we agree he's two? We do? We don't? We said that on the show Friday. You said that. I didn't say anything.

All right, fine. So who's two? Gordon. 75. No, 70. He's that close, huh? Well, yeah. I mean.

Okay, that's fine. No, I'm taking Barkley too. I'm not going to back off my – But I gave you 10 points. Who do you like better, Barkley or Gordon? Barkley. I was drafting Barkley first. Right.

But then Gordon was like even better than we could have imagined. You were also – So was Barkley. Drafting Zeke before Gordon, but you take Gordon. Barkley is so good. Barkley is so good. Wow, is he fun. What a fun, what a

great team. Here's an email from Matt in a small western Massachusetts town. We're just going to let Dave do all the guessing. Grade the trade. Give up DeAndre Hopkins in a PPR league. Get Mark Ingram and

Emmanuel Sanders. Come again? Give up Hopkins, get Ingram and Emmanuel Sanders. Call me again? Give up Hopkins. Get Ingram and Sanders. See? It's even? I mean, you got to make sure Sanders is must-start receiver. Well, you're getting Ingram.

You know, it's funny. We were talking about Kamara as a buy low but what's ingram's value right now buy high buy high not a sell high no all right from jamal in orlando would you start lockett or ridley in PPR. Ridley. Jamie, I really gave up way too much for McCoy. I was shocked. Yeah, it was a really bad trade. Now, look, you'll be fine if he gets traded to the Eagles. Yeah, it was a really bad trade.

But let me ask you a question because this, I think, is something that a lot of people fall victim to. Was that trade proposed to you? No. So you proposed that trade? Yeah. Did you propose that trade or trade similar like that to several other people in your league? I proposed Jameis Winston for Kerryon Johnson. It got turned down.

So here's what happened. I had Melvin Gordon. I drafted Melvin Gordon, Marlon Mack, Jay Ajayi. I don't remember. Maybe Jami. I don't remember. Maybe Jamal. I don't know. My running backs suck after Melvin Gordon. And I was going to have to start Jalen Rashard.

And I'm deep at wide receiver because I stashed Edelman. I have a lot of faith in him. I have T.Y. Hilton, Amari Cooper, Julian Edelman. And I'm good at tight end because I have Jordan Reed and Eric Ebron. So I think now is the time to sell Ebron. When Hilton gets back, or maybe next week is the time to sell Ebron. When Hilton gets back, when Jack Doyle gets back, pardon me, his value will go down in my opinion.

So I sold him. I look at Calvin – I gave up Ebron. No, yeah, I gave up Ebron, Calvin Ridley, and Naeem – and who was it? Sorry, Jalen Rashard for Leshawn McCoy. All three of those guys feel like sell-highs to me, but I just – I don't know that I should have started with two – with three of them. I should have started with two of them, and I would have been much happier about it. But then I get accused of Acer trades. I'm just wondering if – you would prefer LaShawn McCoy, let's say,

moving forward, or Chris Carson? Carson. Okay. I scanned the teams that had bad tight ends, is basically what I did. Look at all of them. You have a bad tight end? Yeah.

We'll make a trade then. I'll give you Jordan Reed to give me your best running back. Back to the emails. FantasyFootball.CBSI.com. From Kyle. Would you like to know that I posted a poll? Sure. What was it? True or false?

Adam Mazur knows Adam Driver from Girls and not from Star Wars. People know I don't watch Star Wars. We're up to 127 votes so far. What do you think it is? 80% true. Higher. Jeez. 95% true.

84%. All right. Here's Kyle's question. Half PPR, pick two. Tevin Coleman, Alfred Morris, Kenyon Drake, Austin Eckler, Calvin Ridley. Pick two. What's the format? Half PPR.

Tevin Coleman and Calvin Ridley. From no name. Hey, Jamal, Willis, Ray, and Alex. Jamal, Willis, Ray, and Alex. You should know that. Yeah. You think they're something that they are. They're Ravens running backs.

Right. I have girly, white. What do you think I think they're something that they are. They're Ravens running backs. Right. I have Gurley, White. What do you think I think they were? Miami running backs. Well, two of them are. Or Hurricanes. Yeah, two of them are. This is a grade to trade.

So I want to trade White or Ingram for a receiver of the same value. I have an offer for James White, my James White for Golden Tate. I'm talking to another owner about White and Keenan Allen for DeAndre Hopkins and Jordan Howard. Which would you rather do, give up James White for Golden Tate or give up White and Keenan Allen for Hopkins and Jordan Howard? I think just the one for one. One for one. All righty.

I just made a James White trade in a non-PPR league. I traded James White and Geronimo Allison for Cooper Cup and Austin Eckler. And I am the Melvin Gordon owner. Oh, okay. That helps. From Aaron in a small county south of Jacksonville, Palm Beach County. Hey, Christian Michael, Val, and Ben. That's easy. Yeah, Batman., Val and Ben. That's easy.

Yeah, Batman. That you know. They're from girls. Give Sonny Michelle, get Lamar Miller and Amari Cooper. F. Yeah. We haven't had an F like this in a long time. Shut up, Jamie.

I know where you're going with that. What? This is better than my McCoy trade. No. That's one of the worst trades I've heard. I wasn't making any comment about you. Michelle from Miller and Cooper. You don't agree?

No, it's a bad trade. I thought you were making fun of my trade at the same time. No, yours is like a D+. There's a sliver of hope that McCoy gets traded. But even if he doesn't, I feel like he can finally get to work. So let me just ask you a question. Yeah. Heath and I just debated this in one of our stories for the Google Assistant.

Okay. And this is for just this week. Austin Eckler and LaShawn McCoy. Heath's argument for LaShawn McCoy being better than Austin Eckler is workload. Do you know how many games that LaShawn McCoy has had good workload? Yeah, I know. But I just feel like it's coming now. They're committed to him.

He's healthier. You saw the squirrel. I guess. One game where they were competitive. They're not as bad as we thought. I'm sorry. I shouldn't say that. One game where they were playing with a lead with him.

Right. They're bad. They're bad, but they're not As bad as we thought they were in week one No they're not epically bad But they're bad I think they should be pretty pleased with Sean McDermott Like that is a terrible roster

And they do some good things Oh McDermott's great I wonder how they feel about him Okay this is Matt from the home of the Argos. And then he says, hey, Coulson, Daisy, Mac, and Yo-Yo. This is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't know what any of this means. I need a desperation flex.

Who do you like, Jamie? Ronald Jones, Greg Olson, D.D. Westbrook, Chester Rogers, Marquise Goodwin, Latavius Murray, Kyle Juszczyk, Alfred Blue, or Ito Smith? I mean, Chester Rogers, I think, is in a good spot just given his production the last two weeks. And the matchup slot receivers against the Jets have had some success. I have a sneaky feeling. I'd play Rogers of this group. But I have a sneaky feeling this is not a big game, but a decent game for Ronald Jones. Okay.

Beat the waiver. He's coming off their bye week. Good matchup. I don't think he's going to have like 100 yards or anything like that, but I think he can get you 40 or 50 in a touchdown. Right. No Grady Jarrett for the Falcons. Right. And SeatGeek is awesome.

More emails. Matthew. I got some news for you. All right, hold on. Grade the trade from Matthew. PPR. Give Mixon and Edelman. Mix got some news for you. All right, hold on. Grade the trade from Matthew. PPR. Give Mixon and Edelman. Mixon and Edelman.

Get Hyde and Julio. PPR. C. All right, what's the news? Rams coach Tom Givay said, Brandon Cooks and Cooper Cup went through a full practice today, and they anticipate they'll be cleared. The concussion protocol tomorrow.

I'm very nervous about golf in the freezing temperature in the snow. I would tend to agree, but I still think you're starting all three receivers. We've seen golf at least once this year have a subpar game himself, but the receivers still play well. Sure. Joe from Spokane. Dear Kurt, Mark, and Jared. These have got to be...

What is it? Kurt, Mark, and Jared. Oh, this is easy. Is it Nirvana? No. We just talked about this. Wait, girls? It's the Rams quarterbacks.

No, it's not. Yes, it is. Kurt Warner, Mark Bolger, and Jared Goff. He's right. He's right. Should I trade Josh Gordon for Leonard Fournette or LeSean McCoy? Yes. Yeah, Fournette, right?

Of course. From George, dear Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Keith. That's the one you butchered. Jave. I'm in three receiver leagues, PBR, no flex. I'm winning games in spite of Odell Beckham. My backup wide receivers are Mike Williams and Chris Godwin. When do I start playing Mike Williams and Chris Godwin over Odell Beckham?

Oh, my God. I just got this question on a radio show. Oh, my God. It's typical.? Oh my God. I just got this question on a radio show. Oh my God. It's typical. Somebody asked, I benched Alshon Jeffrey for Odell Beckham. When should I make that switch? Well, two weeks ago,

you would have been so pissed at yourself for doing that because Beckham was awesome and Jeffrey struggled. If you're inclined to bench Odell Beckham, unless we get six games in a row of him doing this, trade him. Yeah, it's true. Get something for him. Don't bench him. Trade him. Yeah.

From No Name, Cousins or Winston? I'm going to go with Winston. This is from Bryant in Kansas. Dear Mark, Damon, Robert, and Kevin. Shark tank, Jamie. Shark tank.

Oh. Oh. Give Yeldon, get Howard. Grade the trade. Give Yeldon, get Howard. He's two and three.

I don't like it. Really? I mean, Yeldon's potentially useless after this week. No. They're talking about Fournette not playing until after their bye week. They just saw a report that he might play next week. I didn't see that, so I apologize.

Well, you didn't hear it either because I said it on the show. Leonard Fournette could be ready for week seven. Doesn't mean he will be ready for week seven. Could be ready for week seven. Doesn't mean he will be ready for week seven. Could be ready for week seven. Okay, then that changes things. And that's from Doug Marone's mouth. He said both Fournette and DJ Hayden have a chance to play next week. Okay, so if that's the case, then I'll give it a C.

I'll give it a B. You give it a B. You give up Yeldon. If Yeldon, if Fournette is out through their bye week, I'm going to give it a D. Right. All right. This is from Brandon in the spring training home of the Tigers. I have no idea where that is.

Lakeland, Florida. Oh, I need major tight end help. I'll spice up a baseball guy. PPR, Gates, Swaim, O.J. Howard, Niles Paul, Nick Vanette, Griffin, Ian Thomas. Niles Paul. Okay. Why are we – can I at least say rest of season? Are we ignoring O.J. Howard right now?

No, this rest of season I would take O.J. Howard. If we're just talking about for this week, I would take Niles Paul. All right. Joe from Allentown. What's the outlook for Doug Baldwin rest of season? I think he's going to play well this week. Yeah, grease it up. It's just a gut feeling.

But the value rest of season is he will return to being a top 30 receiver. Would you rather have Baldwin or Alshon Jeffrey? Alshon. Baldwin or Deshaun Jeffrey? Alshon. Baldwin or Deshaun Jackson? Baldwin. Okay. From John from the 330 or the

330. Maybe that was the time he wrote the email. 12-team PPR League. I'm thinking about offering Carryon Johnson, Eric Ebron, and either Cole or Gabriel. So Carryon, Ebron, and either Cole or Gabriel. So, Carrion, Ebron, and let's say Keelan Cole. I don't know that Gabriel.

Well, fine. Let's start with Gabriel since we'd rather have Cole, I was thinking. Carrion, Ebron, and Gabriel for Tyreek Hill and George Kittle. Would you do that? Give up Carrion, Ebron, and Cole or Gabriel for Tyreek Hill and George Kittle? No. You're getting the best player in theory. I just think there's a lot to like about Karyon moving forward, but that's me.

I'm stubborn. I also feel like we're giving Tyreek Hill a free pass. I'll tell you what, man. This was my concern with him. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure he's going to have a lot of good games. I agree. But he's had three bad ones in a row. It's a different quarterback. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure he's going to have a lot of good games. I agree.

But there are more mouth-to-mouth ones in a row. It's a different quarterback. Yeah. From Morgan, I'm 1-4 right now.

Decided to shake things up a bit. I'm using Dalton as my QB. Give up Dalvin Cook and Calvin Ridley. Get Tyler Boyd and Austin Eckler.

Oh, I... No. No. Yeah. That's almost an F. Yep. From Alexander. Week three, I was going to have to drop Corey Clement to make room on my team for another need.

But I was able to trade Clement for a 12th. Is it Clement or Clement? I heard it five times. Clementine. All right. I heard it five times last night. I never remember. I was able to trade Clement for a 12th round pick for next year.

The team then later dropped Clement because of the injury. So I put in a $1 bid for him, and I got him again. As the commissioner of the league, do you think it would set a bad precedent if I tried to trade the same player twice in the same year? Would you just hold Corey Clement? I would. You know, look, unless they trade for someone, which they clearly can, he's their best running back. I don't think it's a

Jay Ajayi best running back situation, you know, like where he's the clear-cut guy and then the other guys are going to get their numbers or their touches. But you just watch

the two guys run last night and he's so much more explosive than Wendell Smallwood. That being said... He doesn't really need him, though, so what do you think about a guy trading the same player twice? I don't care about that. I will say this, though.

I don't know how much we talked about it on the Friday show. Darren Sproul is going to be back and make this even more annoying. This is Mike from Stanford, Connecticut. Yeah, it's true. This is Mike from Stamford, Connecticut. Hey, Nacho, Hector, Lalo, and Tuco. Lalo, I don't know who Lalo is, but I do watch the show.

That's Breaking Bad slash Better Call Saul. I haven't started this season of Better Call Saul. Pick two of the following wide receivers, half PPR. Juju, Ridley, Godwin, Josh Gordon, Will Fuller. Juju, Ridley, Godwin, Gordon, Fuller. Juju, Ridley.

And Gene from Los Osos, California. I started Wendell Smallwood, but I started Jake Elliott at kicker. That's good. I did the same thing. Hey, how about that? Who do I start at wide receiver and flex? Alshon Jeffrey and Saquon Barkley. Green,

Woods, Landry, Sanu, and Gobbin. Okay, obviously you're starting Green, so pick two of these. The first three. Woods and Landry? Yes. Over Sanu and Godwin.

Yes. All right. All right, I got a few more emails to read. I'm going to tell you about FanDuel real quick here. First of all, our contest, I am in the process of making my lineup. I only have three players, but it's going to be great. FanDuel.com slash FFT. That's the URL.

FanDuel.com slash FFT. That's the URL. FanDuel.com slash FFT. Two things happen when you go to FanDuel.com slash FFT. One, you get to join our contest and compete against us every single week. It's $5. That's nothing. To play a little bit more fantasy football, and you get a $5 bonus on your first deposit.

just sign up at FanDuel.com slash FFT and make a deposit and get yourself a $5 bonus. And that's essentially going to be good enough for a free entry into our league. Now, I play in this league every week. I also play in a 50-50. I know Heath likes playing a lot of tournaments. Jamie, you like tournaments?

You like 50-50s? I like them all. All right. I do too. I'm not much of a lot of tournaments. Jamie, you like tournaments? You like 50-50s? I like them all. All right. I do too. I'm not much of a risk taker. That's why I don't step outside ever unless I have to take the garbage out. So I play it safe with the 50-50s. I also like small contests.

You know, I got to get Darst. You all might remember him. We had him on in the preseason. We used to do one-on-one or maybe like a three-person contest. Those were really fun too. So FanDuel is great. It's a lot of fun. It gives you a chance to own players that you don't own in seasonal.

It gives you something to root for. And go to FanDuel.com slash FFT and sign up right now. And I'm going to make my lineup in just a little bit. A few more emails and then we'll get into DFS. From Sean, PPR, would you start Dalvin Cook, Carlos Hyde Or Naeem Hines Naeem Hines Okay

From Adam Dear Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde We get this so many times It's Pac-Man right Oh yeah yeah Those are the ghosts PPR Sit 1 Antonio Brown, Adam Thielen, Tyreek yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are the ghosts. Good call. PPR, sit one.

Antonio Brown, Adam Thielen, Tyreek Hill, Robert Woods. Is Jamie going to sit Tyreek Hill? You have to. Instead of Woods? Well, what would you do? I think I'd sit Woods. That's fine. I'll be in agreement with you.

I think they're back-to-back in my rankings. Yeah, you're definitely not sitting Brown and Thielen. No. From No Name, Dear Billy, Sunny, This says Boobie, but it's supposed to say Bobby, and Longfellow. Come on. Dude.

Okay, if it didn't say Boobie and it said Bobby. Oh, Adam Sandler character. There you go. Come on, water boy. That's your booby. I just would like to say that Vicky Valancourt is very special to me and you should try some of my delicious

H2O. So special you couldn't even get it. I am the Andrew Luck and Andy Dalton owner. You said booby. He wrote booby. Andrew Luck and Andy Dalton owner. You said Boobie. He wrote Boobie. Andrew Luck and Andy Dalton owner. I know Dalton has great matchups over the next month, and Luck gets a ton of volume, but I'm guessing their projections are about the same. Is it worth keeping both quarterbacks, continue to play the matchups,

or just ride it out with Luck? I usually don't like to keep two quarterbacks. Football is the devil, but I can you can move on from Dalton if you want to I'm in a similar situation but mama said it's not a bad idea to carry both quarterbacks yeah it's not a bad idea

I don't know how I stutter the way I do when I do that I can't control it really? it's weird it's like he just takes control of me and football is the devil I can't control it. Really? It's weird. It is weird. It's like he just takes control of me and fooballs the devil. So who fooballs the devil? You know they say fool's ball, not foosball. Kathy.

You say what you want to say. I live with mama. I know what she's going to say. Okay. All right. So let's talk about FanDuel. A FanDuel for me? a FanDuel for you. Let's have a FanDuel in the big brown cube.

Yeah. I've got three players right now. I have the Bears DST, Eric Ebron, and A.J. Green. So who is – yeah, go ahead. All right, you guys, come on. I could not have a conversation with Bobby Boucher for the rest of this. It's killing me. Who for the rest of this. It's killing me.

Who are the – shut up. Did you really say that Adam Driver is from Girls? He is from Girls. He is. I've never seen – I haven't seen it. Mama said you need to get out more. Mama said mute your mic. All right.

So what are we doing here? Gosh. I have some good buys and bad buys on FanDuel. Good, good. And got to go buys. Some good buys would be Jameis at $7,400. Chris Carson at $6,400. But it's Jameis and Dalton.

Same price, basically. I don't know who to go with. Well, if you want to be contrarian, you go Dalton. If you want to just take – see, this is something that I'm learning as we go throughout the last couple of years with daily play. Sometimes you got to take the chalk. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't really want to go for any quarterback cheaper than them except maybe Baker,

Mayfield, and Carr. Those are the only two. Running backs, two that I like. They're cheap. Chris Carson, $6,400. Tevin Coleman, $6,300. I'm going to go with Matt Ryan. See if I can work that out.

You can. A couple of good buys at receiver. You said Coleman? Coleman and Chris Carson. They're $6,400 for Carson, $6,300 for Coleman. And how much is Yeldon? Yeldon is $7,100, I know, because he's in my lineup. Right, right.

Okay. A couple of cheap receivers. Chris Godwin, $5,900. Mohamed Sanu, $5,800. And then a good buy at tight end would be Cameron Brait, $4,500. I don't love this week. I don't feel like there's a lot of offense this week. Maybe it's because the Chiefs, Eagles, Patriots, and Packers are all off the slate.

Yep, that's very fair. And the tight ends, like you said, are missing. I mean, I'm sure there will be a bunch of obvious, but what I'm looking for is the guy who has the no-brainer slam dunk matchup. I love A.J. Green's history at home against the Steelers. That's why I made him my number one wide receiver. But I might also throw in a Julio Jones in there. Let's see if I can get both of them in.

So I'll give you my lineup while you're doing yours. All right. I'm going with a Tampa Bay stack of Jameis Winston, Deshaun Jackson, and Cameron Brait. My running backs are TJ Yeldon and Chris Carson. My other two wide receivers, I may change this

one because I did this before the Rams guys were healthy, but I did Julio Jones and Robert Woods, so I may get away from Woods, although I like him. And then my flex is Joe Mixon with the Bears defense. I like Jordy Nelson at 5,600. I like Chester Rogers at 5,700.

Very good. Muhammad Sanu at 5,800, though, it seems like. The problem with those guys, Sanu, Rogers, they're better in full PPR than half PPR. So you like Godwin better than Sanu at 5,800, though, it seems like. The problem with those guys, Sanu, Rodgers, they're better in full PPR than half PPR. So you like Godwin better than Sanu? I just think the touchdown potential is more in his favor. All right, I'll throw in Godwin. I'm going to have a lot of that game. Everybody is, but you should.

Okay, so I've got Matt Ryan, Coleman, A.J. Green, Julio Jones, Chris Godwin, Eric Ebron, the Bears DST. And now I got to go cheap here. I don't think I can pull this off. Yeah, I don't think so. I think I spent too much. Well, well, Jamie. Yeah. Let me update the poll for you.

Jordy Nelson is $5,600, which would leave me with a $5,600 running back. That's not going to be good. No, can't do it. What's Tariq Cohen? Tariq Cohen is $5,900. No, can't do it. We're going to have to get rid of probably Matt Ryan. That's okay.

All right, so we'll drop down for Matt Ryan. All right, would you like to update the poll? Yeah. True or false, Adam Azer knows Adam Driver from Girls and not from Star Wars. 86% say true of 526 votes. How about that? Yeah, the 14% of people are really stupid for saying false on that. They believe in you. All right, Jamie, I think I like this line about you. Who is that? The 14% of people are really stupid for saying false on that.

They believe in you. All right, Jamie. I think I like this lineup. You know who else believes in you? Who is that? I would just like to say that. Wait. Let's review our lineups again. You review your lineup, and I will just say I got to go back.

Andy Dalton, Tevin Coleman, Chris Carson, AJ Green, Julio Jones, Chris Godwin, Jordy Nelson, Eric Ebron, and the Bears. I look at these lineups and go, how do I lose? How do I lose? Did you leave yet? Oh, you're still there. Okay, good. All right, that's Jamie. I'm Adam.

Have a great weekend. Talk to you on the Saturday Night Radio Show on CBS Sports Radio. Later. Bye. If I lose, there's a flex I know I'm in a mess Well, I better do my homework tonight Reading Jamie's starter sick Day's trade chart is legit Heath and Adam shared a team It was a dumpster fire
