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. It's the Saturday Mailbag, everybody. What's going on?

Thank you so much for listening to this show. We get a bunch of emails throughout the week, and obviously can't get them all in on the show, can't respond to them, but this is a perfect way to answer your questions. FantasyFootball at CBSi.com. Today it is an Adam and Heath show. Ready to rock and roll, Heath Cummings? Yeah, I've got a confession to make before we start answering other people's questions.

I was just listening to Best of You by the Foo Fighters. And it starts off with, I got another confession to make. So go ahead. I've got another confession to make. All right. I was on your Twitter profile page yesterday. And you had retweeted something of your brother's. Yeah.

I had never actually seen your brother. Okay. So I'm just wondering, like, did he get no brains at all? Why, he's better looking than I am? He got all of the looks. Oh. Like, that had to be rough growing up. No, well, he's 10 years older than I am almost.

So I was 8 when he went to college. It's weird because I don't think we look alike. But then if you saw a picture of like a younger him, he looks just like me. Well, yeah, he looks like a bigger, stronger, better-looking you. I'm taller than he is. He's definitely stronger than I am because he's lifted a weight in the last 10 years. Right. Okay, I guess he's better-looking.

That's fine. He's in the last 10 years. Okay, I guess he's better looking. That's fine. He's off the market, Heath. He's getting married in April-ish or something. I don't know what the date is. But next year. We're very excited. Actually, I won't be at the Friday Night Tailgate because I'll be at his bachelor party, but Heath will be at the Friday Night Tailgate. So please check that out.

Go to... What is the URL I think it's cbssports.com Slash tailgate I will confirm that for you That is on Friday November 9th In Times Square Check it out

Heath, Dave, Jamie will be there Prisco will be there Lock and 4 will be there And the NFL CBS crew JB Boomer etc Good stuff News and notes Start the show with, then we'll get to the emails. Will Fuller is out for the season with a torn ACL.

I was laughing because of Heath's start to the show, not because Will Fuller is out with a torn ACL. So that sucks. And, you know, I don't even know if you answered, but I feel like we poo-pooed it as a podcast, the impact this could have on Watson. I don't think it's insignificant, though. I really don't even know if you answered, but I feel like we poo-pooed it as a podcast, the impact this could have on Watson. I don't think it's insignificant, though. I really don't.

It's not nothing, but I've got a lot of faith in Kiki Kuti. To do the things that Will Fuller does, though? No. It'll be a different type of attack. But Hopkins can do the things Will Fuller does and more. So, yeah, maybe you can't run two guys deep, but against most teams, except for the Dolphins, who just can't generate a pass rush,

they don't have time to do that anyway because their offensive line's not good. So I didn't think there was much chance of Watson being a top-five quarterback rest of season. I still don't, but I think he's still a startable option. In four points, do you think there is? I don't know. Is he going to start running startable option. In four points, do you think there is? I don't know. Is he going to start running again at some point?

You know, he looked good. He moved well yesterday for sure. But he didn't run. But he moved around in the pocket. It was encouraging. But, yeah, we're just getting forward rushing. I don't think it's a leg problem. I think it's a – I have – one of my rib bones is poking into my lung,

and I'd like for somebody to not hit it and drive it all the way through. I can understand that. I would probably feel the same way. Peyton Barber will play this week. Does that make both Bucs running back sits? Well, yeah, they're sits. Barber is the best option. He's a low-end flex.

Is this the last good week for James Conner? Is this the last good week for James Conner? Oh, I get it. I know what you're doing. You're not answering because we don't know. Would you want to trade James Conner if you owned James Conner? I would trade him for someone that I felt confident was going to be a top 15 running back the rest of the way or a top 10 wide receiver

i thought our connection dropped just so you know yeah i i just i don't i'm i hate this whole situation it sucks and there have been a lot of times um when things have been said and we don't know yeah yeah all right so the schedule is cle Cleveland this week at Baltimore, then Carolina at Jackson. It's a tough sledding a little bit after that. Not that it really matters for Steelers running back. A little bit more news items. A couple of Colts notes. Marlon Mack returned to practice.

Yes, Heath. How do you not play the return of the Mack? He's right. He's right. I don't know. I can't. Ich? He's right. He's right. I don't know. I can't. I don't have an answer. He's 100% right.

From now on, send me the notes like 10 minutes earlier, and I will tell you the drops to put in at certain points. Okay. And Jack Doyle is expected to play. Do you have a drop for that? No, but Pop Goes the Weasel? How about for Ebron? No for uh like a jack in the box oh okay yeah we could do hit the road jack but that would be it wouldn't really work i think uh it's bad bad news for chester rogers who nobody else had ranked very high anyway robbie anderson is

doubtful and that is bad bad news for the jets they are they're going to get destroyed by the chicago bears maybe this is a good week for howard i've even lowered isaiah crowell a little from where i had him because i've lowered my expected points for the jets gotcha okay so uh go to fanduel.com slash fft and please sign up for our contest i just submitted my lineup before today's show, and I will be telling you a little bit about it.

Good stuff. cbssportstailgate.com. Time for your emails. From Nick in Chicago, should I start Tyler Boyd over Michael Thomas or Stefan Diggs? I would not. From Patrick, half PPR, should I drop Austin Eckler

or anyone else on my team? He gives us his whole team. He's got Ronald Jones. He could drop Ronald Jones. For Raheem Mostert? I'm looking at the roster, and I think this is a key point. Because you have Ronald Jones on this team, I'd much rather play Raheem Mostert Than Ronald Jones

But you also have Kerryon Johnson, Nick Chubb, Odell Beckham Michael Thomas and Tyler Boyd Assuming you start five of those guys You're not starting Mostert I'd rather stash Jones You would I would This is from Jason

Somewhere in the mountains Alright Hey Larry, Jerry Barry and Terry This is from Jason somewhere in the mountains. All right. Hey, Larry, Jerry, Barry, and Terry. I don't know what it is, but it's fun to say. Larry, Jerry, Barry, and Terry. QT and Demarius Thomas are available on my waiver wire. Who would you rather have?

I'd rather have QT rest of the season. How about that? What the heck are these? Oh, is that Parks and Rec? I was thinking it was like Fox NFL, but maybe not. The only Fox NFL is Terry. Yeah, so that's one of them. What are the rest of the guys doing?

I have no idea. Keenan from Los Angeles. Steer Charger, Challenger, Ram, and Durango. Those are Dodges. Start three of these five.

Latavius Murray, Raheem Mostert, Nick Chubb, Jalen Richard, Chris Godwin. Pick three. Oh, Ke Godwin. Pick three. Oh, Keenan. Give us format.

Give us format. In non-PPR, I would start Latavius, Chubb, and Mostert. In PPR, I would start Latavius, Chubb, and Richard. Not Chris Godwin. I would not start Chris Godwin over any of those players in any format. I sat Lamar Miller for Nick Chubb, so he better come through now. Yeah, yeah. I would

have done the same thing. From JP, who would you start? Which two of these would you start in non-PPR? Geronimo Allison, Kenny Galladay, Deshaun Jackson, Sammy Watkins, Martavis Bryant. Pick two.

Again, the names are Allison, Galladay, Deshaun, Watkins, Martavis, Bryant. Okay, so Galladay is number one on this list. I would start him clearly over anyone else on the list. After that, it gets really, really close. him clearly over anyone else on the list. After that, it gets really, really close. I have Deshaun Jackson, Sammy Watkins, and Geronimo Allison all ranked within four spots of each other and all projected for within two-tenths of a point of the same. So I realistically think, I tell people this on Twitter sometimes, these guys are close enough to pick the one you want to start.

The one I have projected for the most points is Deshaun Jackson. Okay, Deshaun Jackson. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. I don't have to be so beholden to what we say. If guys are close, do whatever you want. Obviously, it's your team. But if guys are close, it's a toss-up. Sometimes I tell people, just go with your gut.

This is from, I got no name here, but Danny, Kevin, Icebox, Junior, and Spike Come on, Heath It's been a long week, Adam One of the best football movies, man One of the best football movies It's not radio I've never seen radio The most underrated sports movie of all time

Really? Yes You should definitely see it Alright You'd probably say it's not a sports movie of all time. Really? Yes. You should definitely see it. Alright. You'd probably say it's not a sports movie. Probably. This is Little Giants. The only Giants that count.

I've never seen Little Giants. It's good. I have no interest. How old is your youngest son? Nine. Oh, he'd love it. Yeah, he likes adult TV. This is... I like Little Giants. If it's on, I cannot turn Little Giants off. He likes adult TV. My brother likes Little Giants. If it's on, I cannot turn Little Giants off. He likes adult TV. My brother likes Little Giants.

How about that? All right, PPR, who do I start at flex? Mark Ingram, Karyon Johnson, Traquan Smith, Chris Godwin. I'm going Karyon. From Devin, Collins or Drake, rest of season? I think I would go with Drake. I do think we may be a little low. I feel a little low on Collins this week.

I've got him around running back 30, and we dismissed him on the podcast earlier. It's not a great matchup, but the last week or two, it's looked like he's going to just take over this backfield. So I think he has maybe more upside than Drake does, but I expect Drake to be better. Yeah, Drake I expect Drake to be better. Yeah. Drake, I'm hopeful for. I'm sorry.

I'm trying to kill time while I do something on this podcast. This. Wait. Let's see. Oh, my God. I don't know how many of our Fantasy Football Today podcast mailbag listeners are also baseball listeners. But I started singing this song when it was announced by Jamie or Dave that they just read on Twitter that Mac was back from practice. And Scott says, what is that song?

No. Scott White. No recollection of Return of the Mech. Recollection? He never heard it before. You have to hear something to recall it. I speculated that he had danced to that song in the past, and he denied it. There's no way.

This is a question from Titletown, Boston, Massachusetts. Please regulate this for me. My league has a four running back roster max, two actives, and my commissioner has been having an illegal lineup during the week hoarding five to six running backs with a four running back max without a kicker and or DST on the roster during the week, causing an illegal lineup at the start of the week on Thursday. Then on Sunday morning, he drops a couple of running backs

to pick up a kicker and a DST, preventing anyone from having those RBs to use that week since they'll go through the waiver process. I call shenanigans. He has a legal roster Sunday, but the fact that he uses this shady method of hoarding running backs is garbage. I should mention

the waiver process resets each week by worst record, so I've been winning and never have the chance to pick up dropped RBs. Please regulate should he be allowed to do this. He's 2-5. Listen, you're from Titletown, Boston, Massachusetts. You're not some Yankees fan. You're winning.

The guy that's doing this is 2-5. Stop whining. No! Why? Mock him. Mock him for his efforts that are failing, if you must. He's cheating, Heath. He's not cheating.

He's absolutely cheating. He's not cheating. He is cheating. He is not cheating, clearly. If he was cheating, he would be getting zeros each week. It needs to be brought up. He needs to be shamed in public. You need to call him out on the message board.

First of all, I would get a coalition to make sure that everybody is on the same page with you and then call him out on the message board. Like this one time I was at a football game, and this jerk was standing up the whole freaking game. And my now wife at the time, it was like our second date. She couldn't really see. And I'm all about standing up during a game. That's fine. But it wasn't one of those games. It was a our second date. She couldn't really see. And I'm all about standing up during a game. That's fine. But it wasn't one of those games.

It was a crappy game. There weren't that many people there. You don't have to be standing up now. You're just drunk. So I say to the guy next to me, I'm like, can you believe this guy is standing up the whole time? And he was as pissed off as I was. So I said, I'm going to say something. Let's say something to him.

Let's ask him nicely. I asked the guy to sit down. The chicken next to me completely backs out, leaves me on my own. I almost get into a fight with the guy. It was my friend's wife who ends up yelling at the guy and standing up for me because I didn't want to get into a fight or whatever. But you need to get a coalition, a firm coalition, people that will help you out, not some – I'm still mad at that guy who was sitting next to me. What a coward. I'm just glad your friend's wife stood up for you.

Yeah, she did. She escalated it, took it to another level because he wasn't going to hit her. He might have hit me if I had talked back. So that's just a pretty good strategy. She probably could have taken it better. She probably could have taken me, I'm sure. All right, everybody. I want to talk to you about something – okay, this guy who cheated in the league, I don't want him to listen to this read

because I don't want him to be happy. I don't want him to have an awesome movement watch. Everybody else out there, you deserve a movement watch. You've heard me talk about movement, MVMT. And you know those two college dropouts that started their own watch company when the company has grown like crazy. And now they have almost 2 million watches sold in 160 plus countries. They continue to revolutionize fashion on the belief that style should not break the bank. And I don't know if you've checked the site out lately, but they've

doubled the number of watch styles and are still expanding. Let me tell you the only thing I didn't like about Movement Watches. They had so many awesome designs that it probably took me three days to figure out which one I wanted because I kept sending emails like, hey, I'm going to get a watch. Here are the five that I love. Please help me out. And it was really fun. It was like car shopping or something where you're really pumped to buy something. You got these great options. Movement watches are really slick. They start at just $95 at a department store. You're looking at $400 to $500 to get a watch like this. Movement figured out that by selling online, they cut out the middleman and

retail markup, and you get the best possible price. It's classic design. It's quality construction and styled minimalism. You're not going to be walking around with something huge and gaudy on your wrist. Just a really nice, classy watch. I get compliments all the time on my movement watch. Go to MVMT.com slash F football. All right. That is MVMT.com slash F football. 15% off with free shipping and free returns. See why movement keeps growing. Check out their expanding collection. MVMT.com two Ms. MVMT.com. Two Ms, MVMT.com slash FFootball, and join the movement. Back to the emails. Jimmy wants to know, Booker, Smallwood, or Blunt? PPR.

PPR. Booker if Freeman doesn't play, Smallwood if Freeman does play. Amendola or Parker, rest of season? An email from Joe. Amendola or Parker? This Devontae Parker thing. I'm intrigued. I really am.

Well, yeah, that's not surprising. There's nothing that he did that was surprising last night. We know that he has the talent to perform like that in a small sample size. What we've never seen from him is consistency or availability over a long stretch of time. I'm going to go with Amendola still, but there's some upside with Parker. Okay, this is from Max in San Diego. Dear Winifred, Mary, Sarah, and Thackeray.

Come on, guys. I'm supposed to know this? No, I'm saying come on to them. Oh, okay. Yeah, I have no idea. Oh, it's Hocus Pocus Hocus Pocus Heath Horror movie

My wife actually likes Hocus Pocus So does mine So we will probably watch that in the next week Mark Ingram or Golden Tate in the Flex for standard scoring? That one's close enough that I may actually need to take a look at the rankings. Yeah, I think I actually... Wow, those guys are close. I will go with Tate, but just barely.

From Jacob, someone dropped Aaron Jones. Should I drop Alex Collins for him? I would rather have Alex Collins than Aaron Jones. Hey, Ron, Donovan, Michael, and Carson. I would rather have Alex Collins than Aaron Jones Hey Ron Donovan, Michael, and Carson Those are Eagles quarterbacks Yeah, yeah, yeah

I need a little help with my wide receiver 3, PPR I can pick up Cobb, Marvin Jones Geronimo Allison, Christian Kirk Moncrief, Sneed Goodwin, and Westbrook Who should I pick up? Geronimo. Geronimo!

I would like you all to know I'm still on Cobb Island. I still like Randall Cobb. I'd probably start Allison over him, but I like Randall Cobb. Trade Lamar Miller. This is from a Pats fan in New Orleans. I traded Lamar Miller for Sonny Michel. I was still able to start Miller this week, but also traded michelle

is that too much of a risk with sony michelle's injury it's a risk but i think it's an acceptable risk because if he comes back full go he's much better than lamar miller from tyler i have oj howard would you rather keep him or pick up any of the following guys instead of howard jimmy graham trey bur, Ebron, Jared Cook. I would literally rather start every one of those guys over O.J. Howard. Even Ebron? Even Ebron. Why do you – why?

Well, I mean, Ebron's been better, and I don't think Doyle – I think Doyle's going to hurt Chester Rogers more than he hurts Ebron. All of those guys, like I've got Trey Burton as my number five tight end right now, and Ebron's number nine, Graham's number seven, Cook's number six. Okay. No name on this one. Deer, Zander, Willow, Giles, and Spike. Yeah.

Yeah, it's Buffy. I had to look it up, but it's Buffy. Good job, Heath, getting my Eagles running back trivia last week. I don't remember that, but good job, Heath. Obviously, you're the brains of the operation. I'm in a standard 12-team league. Sit one of these guys. Kamara, Kerryon Johnson, Phillip Lindsey.

Yikes. Devante Adams, Brandon Cooks, Tyler Boyd. Woo. Good job by you putting this team together. Yeah, 12-team league. This is fantastic. Standard league, sit one of – I think it's going to be Tyler Boyd. Yeah, I guess it has to be.

All right, we're going to take a quick break to talk about SeatGeek, and then we'll read some more emails, and then we'll do a little fan dueling at the end of the show. But you've heard me talk about SeatGeek, and it is genuine. I really do have the app, and I really do love the app, and I really do use it all the time. You search for an event, and it gives you the results, and it grades every ticket based on value,

and it color codes them for you so you know where the good deals are. If you use the code FFT, you get $20 off your first SeatGeek purchase. The code is FFT. I remember getting tickets. It was so complicated. It was so annoying. Man, I would love to know how Heath used to get tickets for events. Were you one that would go to the mall, to the Ticketmaster window

and buy concert tickets when the band was coming to town? No, I was Team Scalper. Oh, yeah, I did a lot of that too. I remember I used to call ticket brokers that I saw the ads for in the newspaper and they'd have like a office in the mall or something like that

near where the Miami Heat, it was always for a Heat game, like a office in the mall or something like that near where the Miami Heat, it was always for a Heat game, like a Knicks Heat game. And my dad, we would go and we would get the tickets from them. It was so freaking expensive. So much better now. We don't do that anymore. We just have SeatGeek, which is growing and growing. And just everybody knows about it now.

Please use it. It's the best. I love SeatGeek and I strongly recommend it. Promo code FFT for $20 off your first SeatGeek purchase. SeatGeek, life's an event. We have the tickets. Bradley says, Dear Ike, Troy, and Ryan. Those are Steelers, right?

Ryan Clark? Yeah. Yeah. Steelers DBs. Yeah. Oh, boy, do I have something exciting for Steelers fans for next week. I'm not kidding. Steelers fans, just wait.

I will tell you about it next week, but you're going to be really, really pumped. It has nothing to do with fantasy football. From a fairly large suburban city 25 north of Los Angeles. I don't know. Oakland. Sure. I need a running back, standard scoring. Kenyon Barner or Wendell Smallwood?

I think I'm going to go with Smallwood. I think Oakland is much farther away than that. Oh, it is. No, Barner by half a point. Okay. Barner it is. So Heath is wrong about everything. From Joey, grade the trade, half PPR.

Give Gronk, get Nick Chubb. I think this totally depends on what you have besides Gronk at tight end. If you're going from Gronk to streaming tight end, then I don't like this trade. If you have Gronk and Ebron, or if you have Gronk and Burton or Gronk and Howard, then I'd feel okay about it. This is from Tremaine. Dear Ken, Ryu, Guile, and Chun-Li. That's Street Fighter, right?

Sure is. No, it's PUBG. I was made an offer for Melvin Gordon of Mark Ingram and AJ Green. What would you rather do? What would you rather have, Ingram and Green or Melvin Gordon? I would take Ingram and AJ Green. What would you rather do? What would you rather have? Ingram and Green or Melvin Gordon? I would take Ingram and Green. This is Josh in Salad, Texas?

I don't know. I had salad for dinner last night. I ate salad. S-A-L-L-A-D, Texas? Salad, Texas? Dear Heath, Keith, Beef and Chief. Heath, Keith, Beef and Chief. Oh, he went from that TH to the F. Screwed me up.

12-team PPR league. Who's better at flex, Mark Ingram or Josh Gordon? I'll go with Ingram. P.S. How can Die Hard be a Christmas movie if Santa doesn't even make an appearance? Hashtag Team Adam. That's a great point. I'm dumb.

From Mario or Mario, rest of season, Ingram or James White? I'll take James White in both formats, but definitely in PPR. Jason from a city on Route 66. Oklahoma City. Dear Bronco, Sawblaze, Tombstone, and Huge. No. I don't know. What is that?

BattleBots. BattleBots. Rest of season, who do you like most out of these RB2s and non-PPR? Jordan Howard. Well, he says, who are you digging the most? So let's do the dig-o-meter. Zero to ten. Ten is you're totally digging them jordan howard

rest of season four matt brita two aaron jones two marlon mack five chris thompson two so it seems like mac and Howard are your favorites? Yes. And Mac would be a 10 if you told me that he was going to play wrapped in bubble wrap for the rest of the year. Oh, come on. I can't hit the... There it is. I had to rewind. You know, I didn't have this queued up or anything,

so it was, I don't know where... I understand. Maybe we can get some of the technology in this room to where we can play stuff from in here. Oh, yeah. We can have competing drops. People will love that. Brian in Oklahoma. Standard League, Christian McCaffrey, Robert Woods, or Brandon Cooks?

Brian is from Hooker. Hooker, okay. Hooker, Oklahoma. McCaffrey, Woods, or Cooks? Standard League? hooks brian is from hooker hooker okay hooker oklahoma mcafree woods or cooks standard league oh i've got mcafree at 14 standard fantasy points and i'm using that as a way to stall so i can get over to my receivers and i would rather start Robert Woods. If you take the H in Christian McCaffrey, the OOC in Cooks, and the ER in Robert, you get Hooker. That is correct. From Jason, grade to trade.

Give Watson and McCaffrey. Get Cam and Camera. Give Watson and McCaffrey for Cam Newton and Alvin Camera It's a fun one Yeah I think that is a C minus So you'd rather have Watson than Cam Or you'd rather have McCaffrey than Camera

I think that it was very close To a push on both And I slightly prefer the player You already have and I slightly prefer the player you already have. All right. All right. I slightly prefer playing on FanDuel, especially if I have a crappy seasonal team. And if you play DFS, you better be playing on FanDuel.

It's awesome. You don't have to deal with bye weeks. You don't have to deal with injuries. You don't have to deal with just having a team that's just out of it and there's no fun anymore. There's no sleepers because everybody's available to everyone. And you know what else is cool about FanDuel? I don't talk about this enough.

I'll tell you, my FanDuel lineup is Dalton, Phillip Lindsey, Joe Mixon, Antonio Brown, Doug Baldwin, Geronimo Allison, David Njoku, I have Brandon Cooks at Flex, and the Steelers DST. You've got loaded lineups and a lot of points being scored, and it's really fun. There's no way you would have to start a guy like LeGarrette Blount in your FanDuel lineup or something like that. So it's just great. And you get to choose some really good players, and you get to sort of see. So look, it's different, right?

Seasonal league, a redraft league, you don't have the opportunity to take everybody. If you didn't have the opportunity to take Todd Gurley, how can you compare your fantasy football chops to the guy or the girl who took Todd Gurley? But in FanDuel, it's an even playing field for everyone, and that is part of the fun of it, part of the challenge. I also like to just play in small contests against friends.

I like to play in 50-50s with 100 people. Top 50 win their money.

So I told you about lineup, and I gotta tell you, I don't like it. I think it's gonna be good. I think it's gonna score a lot of points, but I think it's going to

be a ton of points this week. And I'm not sure my lineup really sets me apart. Where would you start with? What's the secret to a good winning FanDuel lineup? Well, it depends if you're talking cash or tournament this weekend. Cash, games,

there are basically four running backs I'm going to play, maybe just three. The hard part on FanDuel is Gurley's $ Cash, games. There are basically four running backs I'm going to play. Maybe just three. The hard part on FanDuel is Gurley's $11,000. Which makes it clear we want you to build a lineup without Todd Gurley. Stop playing Todd Gurley and Cash. I'm not sure if I can.

But my plan for now is to go with James Conner and Phillip Lindsay as my two running backs and Cash. I am going with the Bengals combination. You had Andy Dalton, but you didn't have AJ Green, right? Correct. And he's the same price as Antonio Brown. And that's always a little dilemma for me. It's like, I know people like to do stacks. I just like Brown better than Green. Yeah. I'm probably not going to play

and Antonio Brown could be the number one wide receiver this week. Has he been yet this year? Probably I don't know. He had the two touchdown game. He did have the two touchdown game. I prefer AJ Green especially if I'm playing Andy Dalton.

Why does that matter? Why wouldn't you just take the guys that you think are the best? Well, in tournaments, it matters because you're going for the big day. And if Andy Dalton has the three or four touchdown day, two of them are probably going to A.J. Green. Okay. Yeah, I mean, that is a good point. I could make that switch,

especially if I enter this lineup into a tournament. But this is a tournament, so I always forget. There are some cheap plays that I really like this week that you're not probably going to like. I don't know. I like the Raiders deck. So that's the thing. If you believe in Jordy Nelson, Jared Cook,

and I'm sure Martavis Bryant is even cheaper, Jordy Nelson is very cheap. So that's probably somebody who should be in my lineup. Yeah, because I've got Dalton, Connor, and Lindsey, Green, Jordy, and Tyreek Hill. Connor, Lindsey, Green, Jordy, and Tyreek Hill. Connor, Lindsey, Green, Jordy, and Tyreek Hill? Yes. Solid.

Yeah, okay. Sorry, go on. I think tight end's really difficult this week. Tight end is? I think there's a lot of options that seem very similar to me. Exactly. And then there's one that stands out above the rest, but it's hard to pay $7,300 for your tight end.

Yeah, you don't need to. I went with Njoku. That's the thing, though. You say you don't need to. There's a big difference between playing Travis Kelsey and David Njoku. Probably. And so I've struggled with that. I don't mind Vance McDonald against the Browns if I'm not playing Kelsey.

And he's $400 less than Najoku. But Najoku's not a bad play either. I really like the Steelers' DST. Yeah, I'll probably play Arizona at $3,400. And I'll definitely have some Washington at $41. And I don't know. I may have to some Washington at 41. And I don't know. I may have to play a little Baltimore.

I hate my team. I think I'm going to make a swap. I think I'm going to put in, instead of green for brown, I think I'm going to get Tyler Boyd in there and remove Doug Baldwin, put in Tyler Boyd, and try to save $400 somewhere. So we'll drop down from Geronimo Allison to Jordy Nelson, and we're good. Perfect. And you still hate your team. What do you like better, the Geronimo Allison-Doug Baldwin combo

or the Tyler Boyd-Jordy Nelson combo? Tyler Boyd-Jordy Nelson.? Tyler Boyd-Jordy Nelson. Yeah, all right, that makes sense. Look, I love Phillip Lindsay this week. You said James Conner. I got Joe Mixon. But you make a good point. I should find a way.

You know what? You make a great point. James Conner is only $200 more than Joe Mixon. It is worth the $200. So now I need to cut $200. I like my team now. I'm looking forward to it. We'll figure it out.

I don't give away the whole thing because I'm competing against these people. I could go from Brandon Cooks to Travis Kelsey or Brandon Cooks to David Johnson or Christian McCaffrey or something. Emmanuel Sanders could have a really nice game. We'll make it work. I like it. James Conner, Philip Lindsay, beautiful combo there. Get some bangles.

Steelers DST. And what did you say? Like one word of wisdom. Heath. I know. I'm trying to think of what that word would be. Sentence of wisdom. I like the Raiders.

Okay. He likes the Raiders. Famous last words. This is going to go down like with the – what was the – the Kenyan Drake Dolphin Stack the last time I did the offensive ice on this program? Patriots game. Yeah, that's okay. This one will be better.

Thanks for listening, everybody. Have a great weekend, and good luck on Sunday. We'll talk to you sunday night
