This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports. Here we go! Email us at fantasyfootball at cbsi.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. Friday afternoon, and could be a goofy show.

Just a fair warning to you, it's a little disclaimer. It's about 5 p.m. Eastern, and Dave Richard has just lost his mind. What happened, Dave? I'm going to start playing portals in all my leagues. No, we're recording this on a Friday. I'm feeling good. Right. Feeling excited, feeling confident after a week's worth of work.

Let's go. There are special occasion feelings that are great, but just on a typical week-to-week basis, the it's Friday afternoon, I'm about to go home and start my weekend, I just put in a good week at work, that is the best feeling. So here we go. By the way, it's Saturday for all of you listening, so you've already experienced that.

Happy Saturday Hey, we got called out on Twitter, Dave We did Yeah, we did What's going on? Travis says, you guys didn't mention anything about Golden Tate Or who you'd play over him And then he has an emoji of somebody

Smacking themselves in the head Like, oh, how could I? It's like the face palm emoji That's the one I would do it, but this is a podcast I did it already How could I? It's like the face palm emoji. That's the one. I would do it, but this is a podcast. I did it already. Well, we didn't mention anything about Golden Tate or who we'd play over him.

I'd go with a lot of players over Golden Tate. I do have a funny feeling that he will play a lot more this week. In fact, Doug Peterson kind of intimated as such today, Friday. I said today, but really it's not Saturday when he said it. It's Friday. And it makes sense. This is a game where the Saints are good against the run. Saints are going to put up a lot of points. I think Philadelphia is going to have to throw. I wouldn't mind using Golden Tate as a dart throw in a DFS GPP LMNOP, but I'm not going to use him in my seasonal leagues unless I'm just really thin and I need to take a chance at flex, especially if it's PPR. Non-PPR, I think it's absolutely hands-off.

So let's get to some news and notes. Not that much, but Joe Flacco is doubtful. It seems like there's a little momentum for Lamar Jackson to play Against Cincinnati It's an interesting spot for a very interesting reason Jackson obviously has potential We've seen him play well In college, a little bit in the preseason Not so much in the regular season if he does okay

this weekend cincinnati baltimore could theoretically stick with them next week when they take on the raiders at home that's right and i don't know about you adam but if if i can have a quarterback taking on the raiders who would be on the road for the second straight week i wouldn't mind having that especially if i've been riding with patrick mahomes or a quarterback taking on the Raiders who would be on the road for the second straight week, I wouldn't mind having that, especially if I've been riding with Patrick Mahomes or Jared Goff all year and don't have a good replacement. They're that much worse than the Bengals. I mean, in terms of fantasy points allowed, I think the Bengals allow more fantasy points to quarterbacks than the Raiders do.

I'm going to say this, Dave. I hope you're ready. I hope everybody're ready. I hope everybody's ready. Lamar Jackson, now I'm going to say it, Lamar Jackson is the most talented runner, most talented Russian quarterback in NFL history already. We've never, ever seen anything like Lamar Jackson. Okay, I'm ready.

Go ahead. The only thing'm ready. Go ahead. The only thing that's comparable is Vic. I mean, this guy is amazing. He is amazing. I don't know if people had a chance to see him in college. The moves he makes, I don't know what kind of quarterback he's going to be like, but he doesn't have to do that much throwing because it's conceivable that he rushes for like at least 60 yards a game by design. They might be like, hey, run.

Keep running. So all right, Dave. He's incredibly fast. I am certain that the Ravens will lean on that just as they have in his limited playing time already. And it makes him very Tebow-esque at this stage of his career. Yeah, he is so much more gifted as a rusher than Tebow. Sure. The other thing that I feel comfortable saying is that he was a pretty bad passer in college,

to the point where some people were like, well, maybe he should play wide receiver. But just in case you don't exactly know what you're in for with Lamar Jackson, he is exceptional. And by the way, the Bengals allow the third most points to quarterbacks. All right, more news. More news. Jimmy Graham broke his thumb. Sucks.

Lance Kendricks is his backup. Joey Bosa is questionable. Probably won't play, but has a chance against Denver. Marvin Jones is out. And Kenny Galladay is cheap on FanDuel, and he will be in a lot of lineups, I assume. He is in mine. Jordy Nelson is out.

Chris Godwin is in. He practiced in full. He's technically questionable. Oh, he's in. Joe Mixon is in. That's the most important one. I apologize. Joe Mixon is in.

He practiced in full. He's probably in. Oh, he's not even on the injury report. Yeah, he is in. That's the most important one. I apologize. Joe Mixon is in. He practiced in full. But he's probably in. Oh, he's not even on the injury report. Yeah, he's in. Okay, Dave. He's Mix in. He's Mix in. Anything else injury-wise?

There's a few other things, but most of it we actually kind of covered on the Friday podcast. So you can go back and listen to that. A couple of interesting defensive players. Nate Harrison's going to miss this game for the Colts. He's one of their better outside corners. Malik Hooker, their safety, could also miss the game. I'm expecting the Titans' offense to really pop off. I moved Corey Davis into my top 12 in non-PPR.

Sneaky Bonanza. Corey Davis also in my FanDuel lineup. That's the game I'm most interested in. I think the Colts are my team this year. You know, every year I have a new favorite team. Two years ago, Vikings. Last year, Falcons. This year, it's the Colts.

It's kind of cursing them, isn't it? It took a full year for the Le'Veon Bell theme song to curse Le'Veon Bell. So maybe next year. All right. Ion Fantasy Football is our Saturday night radio show. Check it out. It's on CBS Sports Radio. Your local CBS Sports Radio affiliate will hopefully carry it. If not, you can listen on CBSSportsRadio.com or Sirius Channel 206,

10 p.m. to midnight Eastern. Ion Fantasy Football. FanDuel.com slash FFT. Join our contest. It's only five bucks. I've already told you two of my players. So later I'll tell you the rest. Dave, here we go with the emails.

FantasyFootball at CBSi.com. Let's do it. From Eugene. Dak or Watson? I have Deshaun higher. I don't have the confidence in Dak having a high upside result, whereas we've seen that from Deshaun higher. I don't have the confidence in Dak having a high upside result, whereas we've seen that from Deshaun. So that's really the point is that there's probably similar floors between them both,

but there's more upside with Deshaun Watson. I think the question was, this is the way I interpreted it, if you were going to have another child, Dave Richard, and it was a son, would you name it Dak Richard or Watson Richard? Why not Deshaun Richard? That wasn't the question. Or Prescott Richard if I want to be, you know. Prescott, you left your sippy cup at the polo club.

I think Watson Richard is just as preppy and actually sounds really good. I'm not having any more kids. All right. Grandkid then. Which is a better streamer for this week from Joe from the Lou? Ryan Fitzpatrick or Dak Prescott? I'll go with Dak there. I've reached out to a couple of buddies who cover the Bucs.

I'm running past them, the idea that Ryan Fitzpatrick could get benched. And if they get back to me and they say there's no way, there's no chance, they don't want Jameis to play because they don't want him to get hurt because that would then guarantee his contract next year for injury, then maybe I'll change my tune. But for now, I'm very, very worried about Ryan Fitzpatrick not playing four quarters if he has a bad start against the Giants. Here's an email from Salvatore. Please help. I'm in a winner-take-all 10-team full PPR league, and I have Kareem Hunt, Melvin Gordon, James Conner, Aaron Jones, and Mark Ingram.

But my wide receivers are Cooper Baldwin and Sanders. Not terrible. Should I trade one of my running backs? And if so, who should I trade to get an elite wide receiver? Well, right now I wonder if you could get max value for Aaron Jones. And then that's really a win-win for you. You're going to get a good player in return for Aaron Jones while not losing any of that elite running back depth that you have.

Sure, but you have Hunt, Gordon, Connor, and Jones, and Ingram. I would trade any of them for an elite wide receiver. And maybe I would trade Hunt since he still has a buy. I mean, you can easily win your league with two out of Hunt, Gordon, and Connor. Sure. But then if you're trading Hunt, you can't win your league with him. But you have Jones and Ingram. Well, even if you just have Gordon and Connor, you're fine.

Sure. So definitely make a trade. And honestly, name your wide receiver. Do not settle. If you're trading Hunt, Gordon, or Connor, you should be able to get – maybe Antonio Brown gets turned down. You can get any one of them. But you ask for any wide receiver.

Any, anybody. You could ask for TJ Jones. You could. You could ask for Kelvin Benjamin. You could ask for TJ Jones. You could. You could ask for Kelvin Benjamin. You could ask for Brandon LaFell. And I think the people who own those players will give them up for one of yours. You can get all three. Jeff from a Canadian province north of Montana and North Dakota.

If it's a province, it's got to be Saskatchewan. It is. Yeah. I have to choose three of the following. Galladay, John Brown, Demarius Thomas, Dante Moncrief. I believe I have Moncrief ranked the lowest of those four. Now, would you drop any of them to pick up Traquan Smith, Adam Humphries, Ryan Grant, or John Ross? This is the part where we let go of Dante Moncrief and we go ahead and get Traquan Smith.

And we can start Traquan Smith over Demarius Thomas. Ooh, okay. From Bill, I need the regulators. 16-team, non-PPR, one-keeper league. A very fishy trade just transpired. A team in third place traded away Duke Johnson, Chris Hogan, Le'Veon Bell, and the Colts DST. So basically one semi-relevant player because it's non-PPR.

It's Duke Johnson, Hogan, Le'Veon Bell, and the Colts DST. It is a one-keeper league. Four, Robert Woods, Adrian Peterson, Gronkowski, and the Chargers. And that is the third- place team giving all that crap up to get Woods, Peterson, Gronk, and the Chargers from the 11th place team. Nobody saw the proposed trade. The transaction just ended up going through without the chance to veto or express displeasure. The commissioner seems to be fine with this trade as he has the ultimate

veto power, but this is absolute BS. And this guy just completely stacked his team and is in a great position to win it all. Nothing can really be done with this trade as he has the ultimate veto power, but this is absolute BS, and this guy just completely stacked his team and is in a great position to win it all. Nothing can really be done at this point, but I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Whenever there's a member of a fantasy league that has a problem with something that's happened in the league, he or she should go to the commissioner immediately and say,

Hey, what just went down? It's not cool, man. And you should really look into doing something about it. A good commissioner will go to the parties involved and say, hey, was this made in good faith? Team that's in 11th place, do you know that you're kind of giving up all these players for one decent keeper next year in Le'Veon Bell. Are you sure that this makes sense to you? Are you sure that this is what you want to do?

If you could take this trade back, would you do it? And then after talking to those team members or owners or what have you, you can go to the rest of the league and say, I want to put it to a vote. I will abstain as commissioner. And if majority rules, I will revoke the deal. But you don't have to do that if you're the commissioner. If you're in a league that's with a bunch of upstanding people who haven't been doing shady crap for several years, you can just let it go. Remember, fantasy is supposed to be fun.

Everybody wants to win. Everybody's going to be hyper-competitive. And the guy that's making that trade for Le'Veon Bell in the junk, they're making that trade for Le'Veon Bell. They're doing it so that they can keep him next year. Right. I mean, that's the only thing that makes this

not a complete crap trade. Like, maybe you're getting great keeper value on Le'Veon Bell. I don't know. This is pretty bad, though. I feel bad for people. I don't know that This is pretty bad, though. I feel bad for people. I don't know that it's vetoable, but it's close. It's pretty bad. So if it's close, do what I suggested, which is putting it to a vote where the commissioner doesn't vote. And obviously the teams involved can't vote either.

So it's a 16-team league. There's going to be 13 teams left to vote. You will get a majority. Go with the majority. That seems the most fair thing to do. I don't really, I don't love vetoing very much. Jake from the best microbrewery city in Michigan. Well, that's got to be Grand Rapids.

Hey, New York, Chicago, Miami, and Kansas City. Is Jamie from Miami? Jamie was actually born in New York City. He was? And then moved to South Florida when he was young. I don't think he ever lived in Miami proper. I am in second place. I have locked a playoff spot.

I made a trade to the eighth spot person who must win this week to continue to the playoffs. He has his top two receivers on by, and he has A.J. Green. I gave him Cortland Sutton and Corey Davis, and I received A.J. Green. Gave up Sutton and Davis for A.J. Green. Is this a fair trade? One of my friends said I blatantly ripped this team off and it should be vetoed, but I feel like it was a smart play for A.J. who may not play until later. I'm the commish, and it's only one guy who is complaining.

So the trade will stand because only one guy is complaining. And it seems like the deal was made in good faith. I kind of think you might have gave up too much for AJ Green. I mean, we don't know when Green's coming back. We don't know how healthy he's going to be. You did a smart thing, Jake, by trading for Green, taking advantage of an owner who needs to win this week and doesn't have Green. You may have given up too much, but it could be worth the risk for your team if you're loaded.

And he got two guys that he can start this week. No. When people want to veto trades like this, then it's just ridiculous. Then it's like, what, do you want everything to be completely even? No. The guy who wants to veto probably wanted to try and make a run at A.J. Green himself. Maybe. This is from Mike from Heath's Favorite Place in the World.

I'm guessing that would also be Grand Rapids if that is in fact the best microbrewery city in Michigan. Flex, Larry Fitzgerald or Marlon Mack this week? I think Mack has a tough matchup, but I would go with him because he has more upside.

In PPR, it's probably safer to go with Fitzgerald, but I would go with him because he has more upside. Rivers or Eli? In PPR, it's probably safer to go with Fitzgerald, but I'll take Mack. Rivers or Eli? Phillip Rivers is ranked higher for me. And this is Tyler from Brooklyn. Dear Deshaun, Mike, Wayne, and Sammy. I believe those are Clemson Tigers. Yeah, I was going to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Full point PPR. Sit one in ppr sit one carry on johnson kenny galladay or joe mixon i believe i have a range where carry on sits so dave what's your candy bet well you know that you made one on Friday with the Dak Prescott. What is it now? Refresh my memory. Dak Prescott, if he finishes higher than 16th, I win the bet and nothing happens. If he finishes lower than 16th and six points for passing touchdown leagues, I have to eat a full Butterfinger.

While wearing your onesie. Oh, sure. I thought that was part of the deal. It would make it more fun for me. Heath also has a candy bet. Do you remember the parameters of that bet? Yeah, it was. It was the same thing, a Butterfinger.

Yeah. Was it Jared Cook? Yes, I think it was Jared Cook. Okay. Something about him. I think it's only fair that i get in on this same type of deal and the player that we seem to disagree the most on this week or at least me versus the three of you was austin hooper hooper not so i'm not me i am i am willing to eat a bad candy in exchange for Hooper if he finishes in the top 12 in non-PPR.

Okay. And what did we decide what the candy was? Well, you've got to eat a candy that you don't like, right? And I like pretty much every candy that's out there. If you're going to punish me by eating a Butterfinger, that's almost like a pleasant thing. That's a reward for me. But I can't stand black licorice. And I even went on Twitter and asked people, what's your least favorite candy? Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah, it's disgusting.

But if Austin Hooper finishes as a top 12 fantasy tight end this week, I will eat black licorice. Yeah, that's terrible. Is that even candy? That's just like, that just like a practical joke. It's poison. I'll die on the air. All right.

The black licorice bet is on. Dave, we've got a lot of emails to get to. We're dilly-dallying, so let's pick up the pace a little bit. This is from Brian. Hi, Brian. I need to start two in a PPR league. Mixon, Galladay, Ingram, carry on Johnson. This is a lot like the last question we had. Mixon and Galladay, Ingram, carry on Johnson. This is a lot like the last question we had.

Mixon and Galladay for me. Rivers or Luck. This is from Andrew. Rivers or Luck. I'll go with Andrew. This is from Mike. Dear Lorenzo, Sonny, Carmine, and Calagero. I believe that is a Bronx tale.

A Bronx tale. Is it? Yeah, I think it is. Someone offered me Michael Thomas and Philip Lindsay for Todd Gurley in a half PPR league. Give up Gurley, get Michael Thomas and Philip Lindsay. It's half PPR and it's 0.2 per rush attempt. So every five rush attempts is a point. What is better to have for a playoff push, Gurley or Thomas and Lindsay? I don't know what the rest of your team looks like. In a vacuum, I think it's probably a win. On the trade chart, it's probably a win.

Michael Thomas is one of the best receivers in fantasy. Phillip Lindsey has potential to be a top 15 running back every week. I think if you're in need of help at wide receiver, you make this deal. But that's really the only case. Okay. From Brian in Portland. Now, Lindsey, just off the top of my head, I remember he was one of the guys I highlighted as having a really good playoff schedule.

It's true. Brian played against Aaron Jones last night, so he needs upside. Is it crazy to sit Keenan Allen for Tyler Boyd? They're almost the same player. But I'll take Allen's matchup over Boyd's matchup. Both are going to have actually fairly tough matchups. We talked about Keenan Allen's matchup a little bit on Thursday, but I'll still go with him with Rivers pulling the trigger.

Okay, next email is from Keaton. Keaton says, I'm in a 10-team PPR league with a five-point bonus for players who get over 100 rushing yards. I need a win. Everybody needs to win, Keaton. Well, he's four and six, so he really needs a win. Oh, well, never mind. All right, so I guess we have to make some choices for him. I don't know how many of each, but he –

how am I supposed to know how many to get? All right, rank your top three. Gordon, Melvin Gordon, Leonard Fournette, Philip Lindsay, Austin Eckler, and that's it. Sit, Eckler. I mean, isn't that obvious? It's going to be Gordon. All right, so who do you like better, Leonard Fournette or Lindsay? Gordon, Fournette, and Lindsay if you're starting three.

Let's say you're starting two, and then we'll do a flex. I'll go Gordon and Fournette. Okay, Boyd, Amari Cooper, John Brown, Funchess, Traquan Smith. If you're starting two, it's Amari and Boyd. If you're starting three, it's Amari, Boyd, and I might go Funchess. Well, what I'm going to do is go with Philip Lindsay as my flex. If there is a flex. It's true.

Okay, Baltimore or Carolina DST? Baltimore. Okay. Email from Jeff in Arizona. 12-team PPR league. I have Duke Johnson and Jarvis Landry on by, so who do I flex? Jack Doyle, Josh Reynolds, or Dante Moncrief? I'll go Doyle.

PPR makes him a lot safer than the other guys. I am going to flex Doyle in one league where I'm starting Eric Ebron. I don't have a problem with that. Yeah, and it's like I kind of only expect one of them to be good. It's possible both are. But I feel like I have like a 75% chance of getting at least one touchdown from them. So, yeah, not ideal. I think that percentage is the same whether you start Doyle or not, the way that Ebron's been playing.

I guess so. Dave, I got to tell you something. I like you a lot. I got to give you a critique. Oh, what? Really, now? Yeah, I do. I got to give you a life critique.

Okay. You need better suits what's wrong with my suits they're not indochino suits man and that's the thing dave says what's wrong with my suits people who don't own an indochino suit don't know what's wrong with their suits this is north america's leading made-to-measure menswear company.

Woo! He needs a quarterback. For next week. For next Woo! He needs a quarterback. For next week. He needs a quarterback. He's got Mahomes then. He's got Goff. And Cousins. So Trubisky is available. Trubisky plays

the Lions. And Cousins gets the Seahawks. Packers. Oh, Packers. At home. So who do you like better next week? Should he And Cousins gets the Seahawks. Packers. Oh, Packers. Right, right, right. At home. So who do you like better next week?

Should he drop Cousins for Trubisky? I would make that switch now, and if you need to switch back, I think you'll be able to do that. I think that'll be easier to do than if you keep Cousins and you try to go after Trubisky. I'd rather have Trubisky. He seems to have far more upside. He's got the better offensive line, and I think he's got a pretty dang good matchup against the Lions' defense too.

Okay, we got an email about the Titans' defense. Not necessarily their DST, but their defense. It's from Matt. Matt says, It's time to give the Titans' defense some more respect. Adoree Jackson, Kevin Byard, Wesley Woodyard, Jayon Brown, and Jarrell Casey are all playing at a Pro Bowl slash All-Pro level. Can't knock them for their matchups.

They've played like a top unit a majority of the season and are the best red zone defense in the league. This is an interesting couple of weeks for them. At Indianapolis is going to be a challenge because of Andrew Luck. And then they're at Houston in week 12 against Deshaun Watson. When they come out of that, they're home against the Jets, home against the Jaguars, at the Giants, home against Washington. And then they end the season home against Indianapolis.

So there's some pretty juicy games left for the Titans defense. So for fantasy, I don't think I'm ready to use them against the Colts. Let me give you my top two MVP candidates right now. And I know nobody's going to agree with me on number two number one is mahomes number two is andrew luck oh i i could see that being the case i mean look breeze and ryan and even rogers like they have great numbers breezes on the best team in the nfc arguably they just beat golf and and the rams luck is just the best team in the NFC, arguably. They just beat Goff and the Rams. Luck is just putting that team on his back. I am so impressed with Andrew Luck, and he's not even

throwing the ball downfield, but he's just playing out of his mind. Breeze has to be on that list ahead of Andrew Luck, though. I agree. As great as Luck has been that he's a very important part of that saints operation i'd have him third he's got to be on the list but i'd be controversial i'd vote luck uh from a guy from a city in southern michigan southeastern michigan in fact okay dear west schwimmer fox and ledger that is an adam a dave a Jamie, and a Heath. Which player do you think will be on most championship rosters this season? Todd Gurley. I don't know. Mahomes will be too.

Yeah, Mahomes. Thielen will be on some. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, great article on CBS Sports about Adam Thielen. Great article. I tweeted it. Check it out. By the way, my podcast league team has all three of those guys on it.

Get out of here. Mahomes, Gurley, Thielen, Aaron Jones, and I believe we've got either Kelsey or Ertz at tight end. What's your record? 2-8. No, it's not 2-8. It's not that bad. I'd have to look it up, but it's a winning record.

We're probably heading into the playoffs. We're probably going to win the league. I give all the credit to my partner, Phil. Standard League. This is an email from D in Chicago. I'm nervous about starting Diggs and Cook this week against the Bears. I have Dion Lewis and Corey Davis on the bench. Which combination should I use?

Oh, I think Lewis over Cook makes sense, and I think Corey Davis over Diggs makes sense. Wow, okay. From Anthony, big fan of the show, big week for me. PPR League, I need a running back and a flex. Pick one running back, Dave. Lindsey, Karyon Johnson, Mark Ingram. Lindsey.

All right, pick a flex. PPR, Karyon, Ingram. Hilton. Emmanuel Sanders. And Ridley. TY. I thought you might go Sanders there. Yeah, I buy into the Chargers pass defense. You don't buy into Jalen Ramsey? You don't think he's going to cover him? He's good too, but Jalen Ramsey hasn't taken on TY Hilton.

You don't think so? Not this week. He did last week. You're right. In fact, I was just... Okay, but actually the Titans do have a good defense. They do, but their biggest weakness is that outside corner, and I think T.Y. Hilton can get loose. Bad. Sorry about that.

All right, Standard League – oh, we just read that one. All right, great sequence for me. Chuck from the nicest city in Florida, Dave. The nicest city. Well, it. Uh, the nicest city. Well, it probably won't be Miami. Nicest is in quotes. Oh, so it's not even like a nice place. It's probably like Gainesville.

It's Niceville. A lot of really nasty people who went to college there. Niceville. They don't necessarily live there. It's Niceville. There's a place in Florida called Niceville? Is it next to Ple Niceville? Apparently. Is it next to Pleasantville? Understand. Happy Town?

I live next to Pleasantville. I don't really understand this greeting. Dear Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Glenn Frey. Do you get that? No. Me either. I like Glenn Frey. RIP. Does Keith look like Glenn Frey? Maybe a little. All right, who should I sit in a PPR league?

I guess he has to sit one. Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Alshon Jeffrey, Phillip Lindsey, T.Y. Hilton, and Keenan Allen. Who do you think I'll say? Keenan Allen. Emmanuel Sanders. Okay. From Isaac, Lindsey Cohen or Ingram? Lindsey. From Julian, Lindsey Cohen or Ingram? Lindsey.

From Julian, pick one in PPR. Julian, by the way, is from Cape Coral, Florida. Anthony Miller, Traquan Smith, DJ Moore or Josh Reynolds? Pick one. I'm going to go with Anthony Miller. From Ben, non-PPR, Mixon or Diggs? Mixon. From Isaac, non-PPR, Mixon or Diggs? Mixon. From Isaac, half PPR,

start two. Mack, Ingram, Collins. I think I have Collins ranked third from that group. It's tempting to start him over more than Mack. Yeah, it's down to those two. It wouldn't be Ingram. Dan from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Hey, stupid, dummy, idiot, moron.

I need high upside. Amari Cooper or John Brown? Cooper. This is from Joe, traveling through a valley in North Carolina. Pick two. Tevin Coleman, Deion Lewis, Tariq Cohen, Dalvin Cook. It is standard non-PPR scoring. Coleman, Lewision Lewis, Tariq Cohen, Dalvin Cook. It is standard non-PPR scoring. Coleman, Lewis, Cohen, Cook.

I will go with Lewis and Coleman. Derek in Michigan, half PPR, start two of three. Juju, Hilton, Marlon Mack. I will sit the running back named Mack. Josh from Dedham, Massachusetts. Dear, here we go, here we go! Here we go! And let's go!

Thinking about trading Trey Burton for John Brown in a 12-team PPR league, then picking up Ben Watson on waivers. I love the playoffs for Brown and Watson. Do you love the quarterback for Brown? Because I'm not sure what that's going to be like. Yeah, this is where the schedule might be influencing you a little bit too much. But what if he trades Trey Burton for a different receiver? Maybe one that's even on par with what John Brown's done this year.

Like who? What are you getting for Trey Burton? I don't think you're going to get much, but let's see. As disappointing and annoying as Trey Burton has been, I would not make this trade because I think he's significantly better than Ben Watson. Mm-hmm. Even with Watson.

Guys that I've got, I think he's a step up from Ben Watson. Ridley, I think you could get for him. Maybe you make a play for Sammy Watkins. Maybe you make a play for Larry Fitzgerald. How about Golden Tate? You wait on Tate. Yeah, I guess that would make more sense. I'd rather have Tate than John Brown.

But I understand the appeal of John Brown, just like he's had some good matchups recently. Just before the bye, he had a good matchup. He didn't do anything. All right, Dave, let's talk about FanDuel. FanDuel.com slash FFT. Join our contest. FanDuel.com slash FFT. I got my lineup.

I don't really love it, and I think it's because there's just, you know, there's six teams on bye, and then there's the Rams and the Chiefs playing Monday night. There's the Bears and the Vikings Sunday night. So you're losing a lot of talent. So I don't know. Maybe I don't hate it. But this is what I got. I started out with the Steelers DST.

I said to myself, if I have $200 extra, maybe I'll switch to the Cardinals. But I didn't. So I'm Steelers. I then selected my tight end. I went with Zacharytz. Well, actually, I went through a couple of iterations, but I guess I really like the Eagles. I have Wentz and Ertz. I have Ezekiel Elliott. I talked about it on Friday. Every running back who's had 15 or more carries against Atlanta has just had a huge game. 18 or more points in non-PPR, 20 or more points in PPR. Zeke gets 15 or more carries every week, so I think he has a big game.

I have Deion Lewis. I think he's underpriced at 5,900. My wide receivers are Beckham, Galladay, and Corey Davis. Now that you have Corey Davis in your top 12, you probably like that better. I do. And the only weakness that – well, I wouldn't say the only weakness. The glaring weakness is that I have Peyton Barber at flex. But the thing is, this is really unusual for me.

I typically don't spend big on tight end. But since you don't have Kelsey, you don't have Gronkowski for what that's worth, I think it makes sense to pay up for Zach Ertz. So, again, my lineup is Wentz, Zeke, and Deion Lewis, Beckham, Galladay, Corey Davis, Ertz, Peyton Barber, and the Steelers.

Actually, I don't mind it. It's actually, I'm just putting the finishing touches on my lineup, and it's eerily close we are. It's crazy how close we are in lineups this week. I've got to find a sleeper, though, in the 5,000 range.

That's what I'm looking through right now. I think I might have found one. All right, I found one. You want to hear mine? Yeah. I'm going to go with Eli, quarterback, at 6,700. I think that's cheap, and I'm going to pair him with Odell Beckham. I've got plenty of money by going cheap at quarterback.

So David Johnson at $7,900 will be one of my running backs. Deion Lewis is the other. I agree with you. $5,900 is a great price. Michael Thomas, I'm able to afford him and Zach Ertz. Okay, so far we have one person that's the same. Oh, we have Ertz. Okay, two.

DJ Moore is a sleeper for me this week. I like the matchup against Detroit. My flex is going to be Ricky Seals-Jones because that's pretty much what I can afford. I've got the Cardinals' defense as my defense. Who are your three receivers? Thomas, Beckham? Thomas, Beckham, and DJ Moore.

You really oversold the similarities in our team. We have three players that are the same. All right. Well, that's still more than two. Beckham, Ertz, and Dion Lewis. All right, well, listen, join the contest, fanduel.com slash FFT. In fact, I'm going to tweet it right now, fanduel.com slash FFT. Join us, and we will defeat you.
