Welcome to the Fantasy Football Today podcast.
Big thanks right off the bat to Heathath cummings for pinch hitting today uh he is at home in his royals world series t-shirt
i hope that ages well because i'm thinking i'm thinking another 20 25 years before they remake
a shirt like that i'm sorry your team lost adam maybe one day you'll get to experience the joy
of winning a world championship one One day. Someday, hopefully
soon. Were you an adult
the last time the Yankees won a championship?
Was I an adult?
What age would an adult be?
21? I think
I personally think you're an adult at 18.
Yeah. I was 25 the last time
they won a championship.
I thought you were 25 now.
I mean, thank you.
I appreciate that.
It's always a compliment these days.

Alright we don't have much time today
Because I have to get to a wedding
Which is why Heath is joining me instead of David Jamie
And I do appreciate it today is Heath's off day
So this is good stuff from him
Let's do the emails and tweets
Fantasyfootball at CBSI.com
Fantasyfootball at CBSI.com
You can also follow Heath on Twitter At Heath CumummingsSenior at HeathCummingsSR.
I am at AdamAzer, A-I-Z-E-R.
Joe in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
12-team, two-quarterback league.
Championship is in Week 17.
Yeah.
Quarterbacks are Brady and Breeze.
That's pretty good.
6-1 right now, first place.
But the Patriots are notorious for benching their starters after they've clinched a playoff spot.
Should I trade away Brady to avoid potentially him sitting in week seven?
He's not going to sit in week 16, but week 17.
What do you think?
I don't think that's a terrible idea.
I would guess he's not going to play a full game in week 17. Almost assured. I don't think that's a terrible idea. I would guess he's not going to play a full game in Week 17.
Almost assured.
I don't know.
I don't know that they're going to run away with the AFC.
Yeah, they're probably going to run away with the division,
but there's a good chance they're playing for home field in Week 17.
I don't know that there really is, personally.
But I'm the same guy that didn't think the Patriots were going to lose a game this year and if you had to ask if you asked me right now how many more games will the patriots
lose my answer would still be zero okay uh by the way i this is an important note josh norman is
expected to play so uh what are you doing with des brian in your ranking see um i will drop him a little bit but with like i don't know how far you really want to drop
dez against josh norman who is healthy enough to play at least but that's about it looking at my
rankings right now i've got like at 17 i've got alshon i can't imagine I'd drop him that low. 13-14 is where I have the Minnesota-wide receivers now.
I can't imagine I'd drop him that low.
So maybe somewhere in the 10-11 range.
Okay, that's interesting.
I gave a stat yesterday, but no number one receiver
has more than five fantasy points against the Redskins
in standard scoring leagues.
It will be tough for Berdez.
I guess it's just hard to bench him this week.
It's just not like how comfortable do you feel with the Minnesota wide receivers?
Yeah, I mean, you know I don't feel good about feeling when Diggs plays,
which I expect to happen.
How do you feel about the Oakland wide receivers?
Well, to answer your first question, I feel pretty good about Diggs.
Like, if Diggs were fully healthy, I would say start him over Dez.
Sure, I would agree with that.
I don't know that I could do that with, yeah.
Right, you feel comfortable that Crabtree or Cooper is a better play than Dez against Buffalo?
No, I guess not.
What about Alshon or Aguilar?
I mean, like my gut tells me that Aguilar will have a better game than Dez,
but I don't know that I'd rank it that way.
Right.
So it's a difficult week. Yeah.
All right, this is from Jimmy.
Deion Lewis or Nelson Aguilar?
I believe I would go with Nelson Aguilar.
All right, Alex from north of the border.
Dear some combination of Adam, Dave, Heath, and Jamie.
Having some trouble setting my flex between Dion Lewis and Tevin Coleman this week.
Half PPR.
I also have Wendell Smallwood.
Lewis, Coleman, or Smallwood?
Half PPR.
I do not have Smallwood ranked in the same place as those other two guys. And this is the point where Jamie and I would do our weekly argument over Wendell Smallwood.
Like, I understand why Jamie is excited about the possibility of Wendell Smallwood.
He has mostly not been good.
Yeah.
He has one good game running the ball this season and like two in
his career maybe three yeah but okay all right go on he has two games in his entire entire career
with more than two catches this is his best chance for opportunity i think is what it comes down to
for dave and jamie yeah sure but that's more of a speculative play, in my opinion.
I feel pretty confident I know Tevin Coleman is going to get 10-plus touches
and be good with them.
So that's your answer?
Dion Lewis.
Yeah, Coleman would be my answer.
Lewis would be my second choice.
Smallwood's behind him.
Okay.
Now Alex from north of the border also says,
P.S. Remove the blue bean boozles
Toothpaste is a weak punishment
Yeah
What was the feedback
On the bean boozles
I was very skeptical and I didn't want to say anything beforehand
But I was very skeptical
With how that was going to play
Over the podcast
If we had video of it they could see our faces
Sure that might be fun
Mostly good Okay good over the podcast. If we had video of it, they could see our faces. Sure, that might be fun.
Mostly good.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
Good.
Mostly good.
It was a little bit of a letdown for me, to be honest.
I was hoping, like,
you guys would be, like,
ready to gag
and just didn't.
Yeah, I don't...
There's nothing...
The size of the beans
and the fact that I just
kept getting toothpaste
really wasn't that big a deal.
Maybe it has to be, like, three bean Boozles of the same flavor, you know.
All at once?
Yeah, all at once.
That would be strange.
No, but that's not really the game.
Yeah, I don't think this is going to really, whatever.
All right, this is from Chuck.
Hey, some combination of insert for relevant people from pop culture here.
Who is more droppable, Matt Breida or Devante Adams?
Easily Matt Breida for me.
This is from George.
Falcons DST or Panthers DST?
I kind of feel like they're very similar plays this week.
I don't know how this is even a question.
Yeah?
Because you think it's easily the Falcons?
Yeah, it's the Falcons. The Falcons. Yeah, it's the Falcons.
The Falcons DST, I have the Falcons ranked a couple
spots higher. The Falcons
DST has been pretty terrible this year, though.
Has the Panthers been?
Yeah, I guess the Panthers haven't been that bad, right?
The Panthers have been good, and both of them
are on the road. You're just hoping
that you get
interceptions.
I agree with you, Falcons, but it is close for me.
Then again, I had the Dolphins rank 10th, and that was great.
Zero.
Where'd you have the Ravens?
No sacks.
Where'd you have the Ravens?
You know where I had the Ravens.
You brought this up, and then you, first off, you talk about where I have the Ravens ranked,
and then you said, but Heath, why?
And I explained it.
Well, Heath's really the only one.
That's more of a Heath play.
He's the only one that likes him.
Did the other guys have?
No, they had.
Well, Jamie had him eighth.
Dave had him 15th.
I didn't say.
I couldn't have said you were the only one who liked him.
Did I?
You kind of scoffed at me for having them second.
I don't think I scoffed at you.
I just made it a Heath play.
We'll check the tape.
It's okay.
We can check the tape.
I've got receipts.
Congratulations.
But you should have had them first. So what's up with wait till you see what the vikings do yeah i guess so
all right uh this is from jake from the hometown of a former princeton wide receiver turned tight
end who is that um princeton so princeton wide receiver turned tight end.
Seth DeValve.
Give me a break.
Seth DeValve is pretty good.
Who knows where he's from anyway?
Come on now.
The question, Bilal Powell or Theo Riddick in PPR?
Go with Seth DeValve.
But no, Powell or Riddick?
I'm going with Riddick.
Really strange last week.
Even with Powell healthy, they gave the passing work to Forte,
but that's what I have to expect this week.
Dan from a small town in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Pittsburgh.
Dear Dennis, Mac, Frank, Dee, and Charlie.
Dennis, Mac, Frank, Dee, and Charlie.
You don't watch enough TV, do you?
Probably not.
This is always sunny.
I'm busy doing podcasts all my life.
Oh, this is always sunny in Philadelphia.
Is that where he's from?
No.
Philadelphia is in the east side.
Yeah, that can't be.
And it's not a small town.
It's a big city.
Definitely not.
Small town, Pittsburgh.
Half PPR.
Hopkins or Mixon?
I'm going to go with Mixon.
Every time I say his name, it's like Beetlejuice.
I'm scared to death.
Mixon over Hopkins?
Okay.
This is from Jeff.
Is Alex Collins an RB2 rest of season in standard scoring leagues?
Yeah, I would say so.
Very, very low end.
He's going to give you some, like maybe he'll score a touchdown once,
but he's going to give you a lot of six and seven point performances,
and then maybe one or two, maybe three more like last night.
All right, Nick from Long Island, grade the trade.
Give up Jordy and Jay Ajayi.
Jordy and Ajayi get Antonio Brown and Aaron Jones.
Oh my gosh.
A+.
A+.
Yes.
Is it a big running back downgrade from Ajayi to Aaron Jones?
I don't know if Ajayi is even a running back anymore.
He's a falling back.
A falling back. He's been a bit more of a falling back. A falling back.
He's been a bit more of a catching back.
That helps.
It is, yes.
I believe it's going to be a downgrade.
Okay.
Now, let's pause that and talk about something that's happening off the air or sort of off the air now.
Do you have the emails or are you just listening to my questions?
I am just listening to your questions, and it's very difficult.
I can imagine.
But I sent you the notes this morning.
I have receipts.
You have receipts.
Okay.
Well, did you send two different emails that both said notes?
No.
This one says mailbag notes, and it said that 7.45 a.m. on Friday morning.
Oh, 7.45.
I'm just so used to getting it like two minutes before you go on air that I hadn't looked that far back in my email.
Sorry.
It's my off day.
All prepared.
All prepared.
All right.
We're even on the receipts.
All right.
So here we go.
Let's go to Richard from a big city in North Carolina.
Big city in North Carolina.
Raleigh.
Grade the trade.
PPR.
Give up digs.
Get Jarek McKinnon and Kelvin Benjamin for digs.
McKinnon and Benjamin for digs.
I think that's a solid B+.
Grade the trade from Scott.
We're going to do more starters
sitting a little bit,
but this is grade the trade.
PPR.
Give up Chris Thompson.
Actually, it's not that tough.
And Adam Thielen.
Get Melvin Gordon in PPR.
Thompson and Thielen for Gordon.
Is it tough? That is interesting. Thielen. Get Melvin Gordon in PPR. Thompson and Thielen for Gordon. Ooh.
Is it tough?
That is interesting.
This may be determined by the size of the league.
In a 10-team league, it's an A.
In a 12-team league, I'd probably still give it like a B.
Okay. And anything deeper, it's a C at best.
All right.
From Jonathan, grade the trade.
My Ertz and Amendola for Jordan Reed and Lamar Miller.
He needs a running back upgrade, so he gives up Ertz and Amendola.
He gets Reed and Lamar Miller.
I don't hate it.
Solid C.
Solid C.
All right.
Here's an email from one of our listeners named Larry.
This is a real email, no fabrication.
Larry says, thanks for recommending draft.
I'm totally hooked.
I do roughly 50-plus drafts per week.
That's pretty hardcore, Larry.
Thank you.
And I'm telling you, people, our listeners love the draft.
They've been using our promo code FF today when they sign up,
and they're getting a free entry into a draft, and then they keep on playing.
The promo code, though, is FFtoday.
I've already done about five drafts as of Friday morning with our listeners,
and it took me probably a total of 10, 12 minutes.
Now I'm playing one-on-one drafts with listeners.
Those are quicker, obviously.
But you can play in drafts with up to 10 people, and the more people, the more fun.
I like about four or five people.
But you're doing snake drafts, and just for the week.
So if you think Joe Mixon's a top eight running back this week, you can draft him as such,
or prioritize a different position maybe.
If you think that running back is deeper than wide receiver, whatever you think, you change your draft board.
You make the call, you make the draft picks.
And the drafts are quick, and they're fun fun and you can win some money on drafts.
Drafts start at just $1 and they start every couple of minutes.
So you can start drafting right now.
All new players get a free entry into a draft when you make your first deposit.
You have to use our promo code FFTODAY.
Search draft in the app store or go to PlayDraft.com.
Come play for free with promo code FFTODAY.
All right, here's an email.
Ooh, I don't have a name here.
You want to give me a name?
Oh, no, I got it.
It's James from San Francisco Bay Area City.
A San Francisco Bay Area City.
Well, I think San Francisco is in the Bay Area.
It just says a city in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I'd say San Francisco.
All right.
For those who have a pretty good chance of making the playoffs,
which non-heavily owned DST would you pick up ahead of time to stash for the playoffs?
Now, in preparation, in advance, I looked at schedule grid,
and I found some DSTs that have good matchups in weeks 14, 15, and 16,
at least two of those three weeks.
And I found Baltimore, which is Cleveland and the Colts in weeks 15 and 16.
Buffalo, which has Indianapolis and Miami in 14 and 15,
but then at New England in 16.
Carolina has Minnesota, Green Bay, and Tampa Bay.
Green Bay has at Cleveland, then at Carolina, then home against Minnesota.
Houston has San Francisco, at Jacksonville, and Pittsburgh.
And Tennessee is at Arizona, at San Francisco, and the Rams.
Baltimore, Buffalo, Carolina, Green Bay, Houston, Tennessee.
I know I gave you a lot there, so it's a lot to process.
Yeah, I'm probably just going with Buffalo.
I'll take those first two matchups and figure out the championship game later.
Buffalo has Indianapolis in week 14 and the Dolphins in week 15.
Both of those at home in Buffalo in December.
Baltimore is pretty highly owned, but they're at Cleveland in week 15 and home against the
Colts in week 16, so that's a DST you want to hang on to.
And, yeah, okay.
Good stuff.
Dan in a town outside of Seattle.
Portland.
Dear Gary, Sean, Ray, and Kevin.
Those are supersonics.
Yeah, why am I having trouble with the Kevin?
Durant.
Oh, please.
Fine. What do you mean, oh fine barely do not i apologize dan for adam's um insensitivity sorry dad question from dan
ppr flex marvin jones ty hilton chris thompson uh it's sounding more and more like golden tate Question from Dan. PPR, Flex, Marvin Jones, T.Y. Hilton, Chris Thompson.
It's sounding more and more like Golden Tate is going to give it a run this weekend.
It was bad, bad news for Marvin Jones because the only reason I liked him was because of volume.
I'm going to go with Chris Thompson.
Doc Steve from Staten Island, New York.
My birthplace. Did you know that, Heath? Staten Island, New York. My birth town, my birthplace.
Did you know that, Heath?
Staten Island, New York.
You were born on Staten Island.
Isn't that a prison?
I was born in prison, yeah.
That's a lot of information to give us on podcast.
Staten Island.
Which island?
I think you're thinking of Rikers Island.
Rikers Island.
Okay.
Staten Island is a borough of Manhattan.
Borough?
It's one of the five.
No, borough of New York City.
One of the five boroughs.
They established those back when they had the meeting of the five families, right?
The five families, the five boroughs, those two things go hand in hand?
That can't be true.
No, I don't think so either.
All right, two-quarterback league.
Are there any current backup quarterbacks that I might want to stash in a two-quarterback league?
That's a question that I had not considered.
Yeah.
The answer to.
Jay Cutler?
Teddy Bridgewater?
Oh, Teddy Bridgewater for sure.
That's a great answer, Adam.
Oh, thank you.
That's probably about it yeah that's a tough
one okay this is from that was a good greeting this is from paul dear steven max nils and clarence
i'm pretty sure i know what that is yeah i i am pretty sure that i I know what that is. Yeah, I am pretty sure that I should know what that is.
Oh, I was wrong.
I was so wrong.
It must be Niles.
I think this is the E Street band.
Okay.
I thought it was Die Hard.
Because isn't Clarence like the tech guy?
And Nils is dead.
Isn't that what he says?
Oh, that's Die Hard 3.
Okay, anyway, the question in PPR.
Pick two.
Oh, no, pick one.
Hyde, Kelly, Abdullah.
PPR.
Hyde.
All right, here's from Angry Jason Snyder.
Dak or Wentz, rest of season?
Dak.
This is from David Dumas.
Carr or Watson
This week and rest of season
Carr this week
Buffalo's got EJ Gaines out
Which I don't know if that actually makes their defense worse
But they're at least going to be playing a backup corner
And I'll take Watson rest of season still
Okay
How about
This is from Brandon.
I'm just looking up Jordan Poyers because Gaines is out.
Poyer might not play either.
There's safety.
But he wants to play.
He's going to try.
Oh, it's from Braden.
Not Braden.
Rest of season.
Rank them in standard.
Sterling Shepard, Nelson Aguilar, Corey Davis, Josh Doxson.
Woo.
I don't.
Like, how do you want me to do this?
Guys I'd like to have on my team or how many fantasy points they score from this point forward?
I think that's two different answers.
If they were all on waivers, prioritize them.
Well, if they're all on waivers, I'm picking up Nelson Aguilar because he's the only one I would want to start this week.
Okay, that's fair.
Then you have four amazing wide receivers All for next week and on
Here's how I'll do it
If I'm ranking them by upside
Then I will say Corey Davis is first
Followed by Sterling Shepard
Then Aguilar, then Doxon
If I'm ranking them by how many fantasy points
I think they score the rest of the season
It's Aguilar, Shepard, Davis, Doxon
Okay, this is from Ad
Chris Thompson or Kamara this week in Standard
Alvin Kamara
From Steven Piercy
Long term
Jordan Matthews or Sterling Shepard
Dilly dilly
Can I confess something
You don't know what dilly dilly is
No
How like do you watch sports
Yeah It's not all the time It's a Bud Light commercial I think No. How? Like, do you watch sports? Yeah.
It's on all the time.
It's a Bud Light commercial, I think.
And they give the guy, like there's a king, and somebody, they give him gifts.
Okay, is this on during, like on NFL Sundays?
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Okay, I don't ever watch commercials during football games.
Monday night, Thursday night?
No.
All right.
You should look it up.
So there's the king who's sitting at his table, and people are giving him gifts.
And they give him Bud β I think it's Bud Light.
And every time somebody gives him a Bud Light, everybody goes, Dilly, Dilly.
It's really weird, but it's funny.
And when they don't give him a Bud Light, they get sent to the pit of misery.
So if somebody responds to one of my tweets, Dilly, Dilly, that's a positive.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
Dilly, Dilly. Okay, cool. a positive. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Dilly dilly.
Okay, cool.
Yeah.
So I will say Shepard.
Okay.
From Andrew, Kenny Galladay or Sneed?
Galladay didn't practice yesterday, right?
I don't think so.
That'd be Thursday for us.
On Thursday, Galladay did not practice dillydilly, and so I will say Willie Sneed.
All right.
Willie, Willie.
And from Magnus, Tyrod Taylor or Andy Dalton?
Standard scoring, he says, not PPR.
Standard scoring?
Yeah, I love that.
Well, I think the reason it matters for quarterbacks isβ
No, he didn't say standard.
He said non-PPR.
Non-PPR.
So we don't know for sure if it's six pass or four points per pass touchdown.
Right.
I'm going to go with Tyrod.
Okay.
From Chris, start two of three.
Mixon, McKinnon, Diggs.
Half PPR.
Mixon and Diggs.
Mixon and Diggs. Okayon and Diggs, okay.
From Travis, dilly-dilly or no dilly-dilly?
No dilly-dilly.
Give Deshaun Watson and A.J. Green.
Get Phillip Rivers and Le'Veon Bell.
He already has Julio and Hopkins, so he's giving up Green and Watson.
He's getting Rivers and Bell.
I'm going to go B+.
Dilly Dilly?
Sure.
Yeah.
And Dre wants to know if you think he could get a top 15 wide receiver for Jay Ajayi.
There's only one way to find out.
I would first get at your pen and your paper or a Word doc,
whichever you prefer, and make a list
of who you think the top 15
wide receivers are
in the NFL and fantasy football for the rest
of the season, and then I would go through to
each and every owner and offer
a JGI for all 15 of them.
Okay. That's not
a bad idea.
The guy that has Antonio Brown is going to be annoyed, but you've got to start somewhere.
There are seven days of the week, last night checks.
And it's pretty clear Sundays are the best.
You've got fantasy football.
You've got the NFL.
And let's combine the two.
Don't miss any game action when you're checking your scores and checking out your leagues.
Use Xfinity X1.
Our listeners will love Xfinity X1. It makes
a lot of sense for dedicated fantasy football players. So Xfinity X1 allows you to pull up
your scores, weekly projections, roster trends, and other fantasy football tools on your TV screen
while you're watching the game. You have a voice remote. You say fantasy football into the remote
and everything you need is right there on one screen. I've mentioned this, and I've actually had the chance to see this product in action,
and it's really cool.
The second I saw it, I saw a demo, and I was like, okay, this is great.
This is perfect for fantasy football owners.
So all you've got to do is go to Xfinity.com slash sports,
and you can learn more about X1.
Xfinity.com slash sports.
All right, Heath, we'll finish it off with some rapid-fire tweets,
some start and sit from JML in PPR.
Give me two.
Jordan Howard, Garcon, Diggs, McKinnon.
Howard and Diggs.
From D. Grimm.
Thoughts on Macklin in PPR rest of season?
I dropped Pryor for Macklin.
I think that's a fine thing to drop him for.
I like him as a number three wide receiver.
From Dylan in Saskatchewan,
Hey, New World Man, Digital Man, Cinderella Man, and the Analog Kid.
Okay.
Yeah, no idea.
Although Cinderella Man, one of my favorite movies.
You ever seen it?
Yeah, I think I have.
Boxing movie, right?
Yeah, great movie. Definitely a boxing have. Boxing movie, right? Yeah, great movie.
Definitely a boxing movie.
Have you apologized yet?
Did you do that this morning?
I have apologized for Caddyshack.
Not for Jerry Maguire.
Well, you're wrong about both, but one out of two ain't bad.
Why do you think Jerry Maguire is a football movie?
A more important question.
Do you tip when you stay at hotels? Depends how many nights. Why do you think Jerry Maguire is a football movie? A more important question.
Do you tip when you stay at hotels?
Depends how many nights.
Okay.
I think more than two nights, yeah.
Do you?
Okay.
It's not really something I've done in the past, no.
Yeah, you're supposed to.
That was not something that was β that may be an East Coast thing.
I'm not sure that happens in the Midwest.
Yeah.
I thought the Midwest people were nice.
We are.
We just β that hadn't gotten to us yet.
Okay, here's the question from Dylan.
I don't like carrying multiple quarterbacks, tight ends, kickers, or DSTs. So if I had to keep one, who would you keep, Watson or Mariota?
I'm going to get crushed for this opinion.
Mariota.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Delaney Walker or Hunter Henry?
Henry.
Okay.
This is from Alec.
Bigger upside this week, Chris Thompson or Wendell Smallwood?
Thompson.
From Ryan, Bouvier Thompson From Ryan Bouvier
Mrs. Bouvier
Aaron Jones or Joe Mixon
Rest of season
Half PPR
Mixon
From
SoCal Fantasy
What are the odds
Heath Cummings calls Matt Moore
A contrarian play next week
Against the Raiders
Pretty high
Pretty high.
Pretty high.
Awesome.
From HeyYoJimmy,
would you dump Ty Montgomery if you need the roster space?
I need a DST.
I don't want to drop the Jaguars.
Oh, circling back to this.
Yes, and I have... I didn't even put Ty Montgomery on the stash candidates list
because he is above everyone I had on that list.
I would drop Jacksonville before I would drop Ty Montgomery on the stashed candidates list because he is above everyone I had on that list.
I would drop Jacksonville before I would drop Ty Montgomery personally.
Okay.
From King Hassan, who do I start at flex and PPR, Demarius Thomas or Christian McCaffrey?
Tough one.
Good. That's a very tough one.
I'm going to go with Demarius.
All right. From dave keeper question when is it a good time to start stashing for next year and who should i target i well that
depends on how many roster spots you have and how competitive you are. If you have a bad team and a deep bench,
now is a good time to start targeting for next year.
Anybody you'd target for next year?
Well, the first place I would start
are with some guys that have been injured.
I mean, the first thing you look at is the IR guys
and see if anybody has dropped them.
I've got a keeper league where I've got Dalvin Cook,
I've got Greg Olson,
and I've got one other receiver that's on IR.
I'm going to have to drop one of them here pretty soon.
So I think you'll see that more
and just keep your eyes open for those guys.
As far as the younger guys,
I was not prepared for this question.
That's all right.
That's on me.
No problem.
By the way, I think that New World man, Digital Man, Cinderella Man, and the Analog Kid might be Rush albums.
And that might be my least favorite band.
My least favorite band.
I hate Rush.
They are the worst.
That guy's voice is just...
They're demonstrably not the worst, i can understand hating them good uh rob wants
to know our trades agreed to over text message binding no unfortunately not i've had that happen
to me before and it's really frustrating you should ridicule the guy in front of the league
thankfully we have technology now so you can just take a screenshot on your phone and if you play on
cbs you can actually upload that image to the League website.
If you're the commissioner, even better,
you can pin it to the top of the message board
so everybody sees it all year long.
That's awesome.
All right, from Matt, McKinnon or Jeffrey, PPR?
Alshon.
From Chris, Camara or McCaffrey, standard?
Camara.
From Danny, Camara, Camara.
From Danny, gotcha. What's your opinion on bonus
plays for big plays?
It's very bad
when you're trying to
really determine
who did the best job of
putting, like, whose
players had the best day that day.
It's the worst. It's the
rush of fantasy settings.
But if it's a setting at the beginning of the year,
and you know that,
I understand the intrigue that it adds.
I have one league like that, and I'm okay with it.
It's the worst.
You just draft accordingly.
Some players are more likely to have 20-yard plays.
I would have taken Martavis Bryant really early in that league.
Yeah, yeah.
He would have fit really well with Andrew Luck.
Yeah, there you go.
On your bench.
All right, that's it.
Thank you, Heath.
I appreciate your time, my friend.
Enjoy the rest of your off day.
This is the most fun show of the week,
and it's just been a pleasure to be here with you.
That's what I'm talking about.
Mailbag, and everybody, thank you for contributing.
