Starting point is 00:01:25 Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. Happy Friday, everybody. Today on the show, Superflex Strategies, Antonio Brown's Dynasty Value, the Patriots won't name an offensive coordinator, and Kyler Murray has a new contract. Welcome to Fantasy Football Today on this Friday morning. I am Adam Azer. I'm joined by Jamie Eisenberg and Heath Cummings.
Starting point is 00:01:49 And how happy are you for Kyler Murray? Yeah. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good evening. I am winning this argument without question. What do you mean? 11.30 is not morning. 11.30 is afternoon. There was a Twitter poll and 90% of Twitter voted against you. And then there was
Starting point is 00:02:05 another Twitter poll and they basically agreed with me maybe without even realizing it. I said, what meal are you more likely to eat at 1130? And it was overwhelmingly lunch instead of breakfast, which means 1130 is afternoon and we all know it. I eat lunch today at 930. You're a freak. I'm not talking about... That's because you're a senior citizen. It's because I wake up at 5.30. You know, Heath, I just don't want you to be confined to the shackles of semantics
Starting point is 00:02:37 in society where anything before noon has to be morning. There's nothing semantic about it. The word is afternoon. That's semantics. I mean, okay. First, you don't know how to say which days of the week it is. Now you don't know how to say what time it is. I don't know how to say days of the week? Yeah, your whole next Wednesday, this Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Oh, that I'm right about. You lost that one too. Most of your bad opinions are matters of opinion at least. But this one is right up there with the frog and dog don't rhyme as like, maybe there's something actually wrong with you. Oh, look at this, Patrick. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Fast food establishments used to stop serving breakfast at 10.30. That was always my yardstick. Somebody tried to use beer as an example. You can start drinking. Bring him on. Bring Scott on. Scott, I'll send you a link. You can start drinking. Bring him on. Come on. Bring Scott on. Scott, I'll send you a link. You can come argue this with us.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Scott Fish wants to argue with us. This is a mailbag show. This is my last pick in the Scott Fish Bowl just now. Oh, I drafted Blankenship as my last pick. Who'd you draft? Damien Williams. Adam, we had this talk. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I know. It's my last pick. I really tried to help. What about not drafting a kicker? There's nothing wrong with flexing a kicker, picking one up and using him. But we had this month or six weeks where nobody's going to add any players.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Draft a backup running back who might turn into a starter. Yeah, that was my thought too. It was like there was a few kickers that I was eyeing, but I'll find one if I need one. It was like there was a few kickers that I was eyeing, but like I'll find one if I need one. That was the thing. I didn't really think... The rest of the kickers were on such bad teams that I'd rather secure a blanket chip.
Starting point is 00:04:13 I could have drafted Trey Sermon. That was basically what I was deciding. Anyway, let's get to the show. I'm going to bring on Scott Fish in a little bit. You're doing the show? What? I thought we were doing the show. Now we're into the actual show. Let's do a rankings dispute. Now that Kyler Murray has signed his contract, are you a little bit more optimistic about him maybe?
Starting point is 00:04:30 It's a big deal, by the way. Five years, $230.5 million, $160 million guaranteed for injury. And I also read on ESPN he has the highest completion percentage in the first three seasons of a career in NFL history. That's pretty crazy. So Jalen Hurts versus Kyler Murray. As of yesterday, you both had Kyler Murray seventh, and you both had Jalen Hurts fourth or fifth. Any thought on moving Kyler Murray ahead of Jalen Hurts? Or Heath, are you sticking with your guns,
Starting point is 00:04:56 Jalen ahead of Kyler? I am sticking with my guns, Jalen ahead of Kyler. But I did move Kyler up one spot in Dynasty, and only because I've gone back and forth and back and forth with he and Lamar. And this gives Kyler a little bit more long-term security than Lamar has and a lot more long-term security than Hertz does. So I would rather have Murray than Lamar or Hertz in Dynasty, but for this year, I'll take Lamar and Hertz over Murray. The most fascinating stat that I saw yesterday about Kyler Murray is that he was the ninth overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft by the Oakland athletics.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Their payroll this year is 48 and a half million dollars. Wow. Kyler Murray will be paid 46.1. That's amazing. He's making.1 million. Wow. That's amazing. He's making the entire payroll. Yeah, he made a good decision financially. He really did. But I think, Jamie, what about you?
Starting point is 00:05:53 Are you sticking with Hertz over Kyler? I am sticking with Hertz over Kyler. I do think that I will revisit many a times in the next few weeks, four, five, six, and seven in my rankings, which are Hertz four, Lamar five, Russell six, and Hertz seven. No, Kyler seven. I'm sorry, Kyler seven.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I like Hertz so much I ranked twice. Kyler seven because of the rushing ability that Kyler will have over Russell Wilson. So that's the one that makes me the most concerned. That was the biggest news of yesterday, but the biggest news of this morning was Nick Chubb squatting 610 pounds. My gosh. With some sort of bar that like would bend with,
Starting point is 00:06:39 it was like a, it was like a reverie type bar and there were high school football players on both ends spotting him. And so I put up a Twitter poll because people were talking last week about juju's slip and slide tick tock and how those are the types of things he shouldn't be doing in the offseason what's more dangerous in the offseason doing a slip and slide tick tock or squatting 610 pounds in a high school gym i mean squatting yeah squat. It's way more dangerous, right? Everybody's just talking about how awesome Nick Chubb is
Starting point is 00:07:07 and nobody's worried about him getting hurt. Do you think if I see you guys, we can do the tortilla challenge or whatever it is? I do not know what that is. Kevin Hart and The Rock did it. They slapped each other in the face with tortillas and tried not to spit water out of their mouth or something when they were slapped in the face with tortillas.
Starting point is 00:07:24 See, here's the thing that I don't quite get about that is if you're standing too close to the person, you're slapping them to basically spit water on you. I didn't see it. With the tortilla? Yeah, you slap them with a tortilla, yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:39 So you could have a high-quality tortilla that won't break. There's a lot that goes into this. I think it starts with a rock, paper, scissor, too, to see who slaps. Yes. So, all right, Heath, you can consider Peter Pryde. Do I have to make the case for Kyler Murray here? Just to have an argument about this?
Starting point is 00:07:56 I mean, he's got the ability to be the number one quarterback in fantasy if he stays healthy. Right. He has shown that. The optimistic view with Kyler is that before Hopkins got hurt last year, he was number two in six-point and three per game. And he's better in four-point, by the way. And then in 2020, before he sprained his AC joint,
Starting point is 00:08:15 he was the number one quarterback in fantasy. So he has shown just as much upside as basically anyone. And, you know, Hurts has not. Hurts is only him. Wasn't Hurts the number one quarterback in fantasy before they stopped throwing no he was maybe number three and four point number five and you have to take out the third quarter of the fourth game and then the fifth quarter of the sixth game and then when you azer's that the bleep out of it he could be the number one uh he was he was number two and
Starting point is 00:08:40 four point number five and six point and on a per game basis he was number three and number six in the respective formats that was in the first seven games of the season when they threw 34.6 pass attempts per game or he threw 40 34.6 passes per game um and then i just did some math i gave kyler 4500 passing yards and about 550 rushing yards. I gave Hertz 4,000 passing yards and 890 rushing yards. All of this was based on what they've done in the past. That gave Hertz a 14-point advantage in yards. But then if you factor in what they've done in touchdowns, Kyler crushes them, you know, so far.
Starting point is 00:09:25 You'd have to get a lot more touchdowns, Kyler crushes them. You know, so far. You'd have to get a lot more touchdowns, passing touchdowns specifically from Hurts to make up the difference, basically. Kyler's been really up and down on the touchdowns, right? Not really. I took out his rookie year, and I took out Hurts' rookie year, too. So, he's been basically
Starting point is 00:09:41 a 29-ish touchdown guy passing touchdowns the last two years, per 17 games. So he's been basically a 29-ish touchdown guy, passing touchdowns the last two years per 17 games. Yeah, so... That's a lot. There are so many qualifiers. Well, I mean, look, how can you... I like that we started that little segment with, I did some math.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I did. I mean, I looked at the last two years for Kyler, and I looked at the last year for Hertz. I think if you factor in any quarterback's rookie season, it's always going to drag their numbers down too much because they were so much better than they were that year. And plus, he didn't have DeAndre Hopkins that year. And then there's the whole DeAndre Hopkins thing. I mean, if Hopkins were healthy in week one, would you guys have Kyler—sorry, not healthy.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Playing in week one, would you have Kyler ahead of Hertz? They would be closer, yes. If Hopkins was playing in week one, would Kyler have Hollywood Brown? Yeah. Let's say yes. You don't think they made that trade because of
Starting point is 00:10:37 Hopkins being suspended? I don't think it might have a little something to do with it. It would definitely be different if they extend Hollywood, but he's a free agent after next year right yeah i think so this is his fourth season so uh no he's his fifth but he's his fifth season okay then yeah yeah yeah uh right and so yeah anyway he is not losing hopkins for the entire season i just don't really see... The only thing that I see in Hertz's favor is he's going to rush for more yards.
Starting point is 00:11:09 But your math involved giving Kyler 4,500 yards and 29 touchdowns when he's never thrown for 4,000 yards for more than 26 touchdowns. He was on pace last year. What was his pace? It was
Starting point is 00:11:23 about 4,600 yards or something. And, I mean, I can look up the numbers that I used. No, I think that he might have been on pace. I'm just saying. Yeah, that's what I'm giving him is pace. Jalen's played 19 or 20 football games. And I just think. I was generous with his 4,000 yards for Jalen Hurts,
Starting point is 00:11:47 and I was kind of conservative with the rushing yards for Kyler, but... Well, I mean, we saw Kyler's rushing come down last year, you know, so... So I actually looked at that. It was basically the same in 2019 and 2021. It was in the 550-ish range. 2020, he rushed for... He was on pace for over 900 rushing yards, but he ran a lot more that year,
Starting point is 00:12:07 and he had a career high in yards per carry. So I went conservative, and I went with his lower rushing totals. I sold Kyler short, I think, with my projections and didn't really do that with Jalen Hurts, and I still think that Hurts has a lot of ground to make up in touchdowns, which he might now that he has A.J. Brown.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Well, I mean, look, you're debating this with two people who are probably a little too excited about Jalen Hurts. Yeah, maybe, but... He's not going to reflect that. I also, I just wonder, you know, Kyler is seventh, and now he has, for the last 11 games of his season,
Starting point is 00:12:43 the best receiving duo he's ever had. You know what I mean? Yes, he doesn't have Hopkins for six games, but for 11 games, he's got Hopkins and Brown. Well, you're assuming that everybody's healthy. Well, we always are. I'm assuming Brown and Devante Smith are healthy. Sure, which is fair.
Starting point is 00:13:01 But this is a quarterback we have to factor in that has struggled to stay healthy. And his playing style, the way that he plays, I know you could say similar to Hurts, similar to Lamar Jackson. It is similar to Hurts. But he gets injured. Those guys have avoided injury until Lamar last year. All right. Well, I've made my case.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I don't even know who I like, but I think there's an easier case to make for Kyler. It makes total sense. We have it ranked differently than the way people are going to draft it. No one is drafting Jalen Hurts over Kyler Murray. I would be shocked, majority, if that's going to be the case. And it may be by five or six ADP by the position. I'm going to do a Twitter poll

Starting point is 00:14:06 Best sports podcast, best male-hosted podcast, and people's choice. And I always promote podcasts, Facebook group, those types of things. Jamie, what content do we have to look forward to on the website, CBSSports.com slash Fantasy coming up? That's a great question. We have a meeting today to figure that out. Oh, cool. up? That's a great question. We have a meeting today to figure that out. I mean, look, we've been rolling out a lot of our training camp previews, our team previews. I think Chris
Starting point is 00:14:32 Towers has done the majority of those. I believe Heath is in the middle of his sleepers, breakouts, and busts, right? Another version? Breakouts came out today. They've been spread around the month, but all dynasty rankings, all positions, and top 150 just updated this week. I just finished going through last night my third-year receivers. I'll finish that up today. It's fun looking at that group, man. I think when you get to—I'm curious. I'll see what you guys think.
Starting point is 00:14:58 The 2014 class, obviously, of our recent generation, is considered the best receiver class maybe of all time, but certainly the one that we measure it to. This group, if the guys hit, could be in that conversation. Agree or disagree? Oh, give me the names. I'm not going to forget some. Jefferson, Lamb, Pittman. Higgins? Higgins, Mooney, Ayuk, Claypool, Judy, Gabriel Davis,
Starting point is 00:15:39 and then the back-end guys, K.J. Osborne, Van Jefferson. There's a lot of potential. I don't personally ever see – I just have a hard time ever projecting a receiving class to end up better than 2014. I agree, but... But yeah, there's a lot of potential there. So who all was in the 2014? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:15:54 2014 was Devontae Adams, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham, Brandon Cooks. Nice. Sammy Watkins. Jefferson could cancel out adams pretty easily um was jarvis landry in that group landry was in that group too the thing is it's like right now do you say alan robinson alan robinson it is just amazing it's ridiculous and they're still playing at a high level like you can you can see Evans and Adams are on a Hall of Fame track.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And then you have a lot of Hall of Very Good with a few of those guys. This group, Jefferson is obviously on a Hall of Fame track through two years. I'm just asking him to do it. But if Lamb and Pittman and Higgins are I think Hall of Very Good kind of players, Judy can easily
Starting point is 00:16:56 be in both categories if things start to work out for him, but probably maybe Hall of Very Good. It's so deep. Yeah. I think the potential for last year's wide receiver class, maybe this year's wide receiver class to also be deep. It's a loaded position at the college level. And I was actually just reading a scouting report
Starting point is 00:17:16 on the top receivers for the 2023 NFL draft and was very surprised. Dane Brugler for the Athletic, used to work for CBS Sports, did not have Jackson Smith Njigba, I believe is how you pronounce it, for Ohio State as his number one wide receiver. He had the LSU guy, whose name I'm also forgetting how to pronounce, as number one. It was interesting content and looking forward to talking about that
Starting point is 00:17:41 at a much later date. But that's coming up on CBSSports.com slash fantasy, the year three wide receivers, the breakouts for Heath, and just so much great content. It's draft time right now. So we've got your back, and we will help you win your leagues. And I should say from a programming note on CBSSports HQ, our show starts for eternity on August 1st.
Starting point is 00:18:07 So Monday, August 1st, CBS Sports HQ, noon Eastern. News and notes. Cleveland signed quarterback Josh Rosen to a one-year deal. The Patriots will not have an official offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator. And it's not new on the defensive side, but it's new on the offensive side.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Does that concern you guys at all? That we don't know who's going to be calling the plays and whatnot for New England? I have concern that the offense will be worse than it was last year. Okay. Kenyon Drake was cleared for training camp. So here's a list of noteworthy players who are
Starting point is 00:18:47 starting training camp on the pup list the pup list talk about it a lot if you don't know what it is it is the physically unable to perform list and you can start camp on the pup list and come off at any point but if you start the season on the pup list you must miss at least four games so here are the players, the noteworthy ones, who have started the year, the training camp, rather, on the Pup List.
Starting point is 00:19:10 James White, Michael Thomas, three players on the Jets, tight end CJ Uzama, left, hopefully left tackle, maybe right tackle, Mikai Becton, and defensive end Carl Lawson, who missed all of last year
Starting point is 00:19:23 after being a very big free agent acquisition last year, and Carl Lawson towards Achilles all of last year after being a very big free agent acquisition last year, and Carl Lawson towards Achilles. Mikai or Mikai? I would probably just kind of combine them so nobody knows if I'm right or wrong. Mikai? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Becton, though, the offensive tackle, he's on the pup list. New Orleans defensive end Marcus Davenport, Atlanta linebacker Deion Jones, Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones, and Patriots safety Jabril Peppers. Not huge deals right now. They're on the Pup List. They have plenty of time to come off.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Speaking of which, Heath, can you start waivers in our Dynasty League so I can make some moves? Guys on the Pup List. Yeah, I do not want to do that quite yet. I'd like to wait a little bit longer, but I do feel really
Starting point is 00:20:05 gross about Michael Thomas being on the pub list. But things have been so positive lately. But it's been over a year since he had ankle surgery. How is he still physically unable to perform? I'm sure
Starting point is 00:20:22 it's procedural to an extent. But yeah, it's frustrating i got a great question here in the chat can you guys say some of your pet peeves i bet adam has some weird ones i do i was just thinking about this yesterday and i can't remember or a couple days ago what was that i said you know what really grinds my gears for all you fans for your family guy fans but i don't remember what it was but i will think of it, Michael. You guys have any pet peeves you want to share? Not off the top of my head, but that's a great question.
Starting point is 00:20:51 It is a great question. This one's really unfair, and I judge myself for it, so I'll share it with you guys. I really, like when I'm watching a television show with someone, and they're on their phone through the entire show, oh, it drives me crazy oh i hate that yeah oh i finished stranger things yesterday oh you did what'd you think i liked it i liked a lot it's amazing i'll give you a pet peeve that i do that i'm such a hypocrite about if i'm going to
Starting point is 00:21:21 watch a show i don't like it when anybody tells me anything about the show, including how they felt about it. You know? Oh, you didn't see that yet. Oh, it was great. Or,
Starting point is 00:21:31 oh, it was really good until like the last episode. Like don't say anything. Don't give me anything at all about it. That's a pet peeve. But, uh, people leaving the milk out.
Starting point is 00:21:40 That's not a pet peeve. That's just, that's just wrong. Uh, that's a comment from Michael. Um, okay. Heath, that was not a pet peeve. That's just wrong. That's a comment from Michael. Okay. Heath, that was a terrific pet peeve. Well done. And I would say anybody who says, I could care less. Also, that's just wrong. Don't say that. You couldn't care less is the expression. We'll take a break. When we come back, your email is at fantasyfootballatcbsi.com.

Starting point is 00:23:52 I can't hear you. I'm doing good. Oh, sorry. You're good. You're good. Okay. Hear me now? Yeah, a little bit of a delay, I think.
Starting point is 00:24:01 All right. Well, yeah. My mic starts on mute, which is very annoying but it's been off and on when i stream i i don't know why it does that um yeah so i might blow your mind with this the uh the uh the breakfast thing i have a thing where like i did a lot of reading when i was younger and i know that breakfast is the breaking of the overnight fast. So I feel like even if you eat it at 11 or 12, if it's your first meal of the day, it's still breakfast.
Starting point is 00:24:35 And I know that Jamie and Heath are not going to like that. No, I mean, time is very important here. Also, the type of food. But actually, the question, the debate from yesterday was— I know what the debate is. Yeah, what time is 11.30 morning or afternoon? And I contend it is definitely afternoon. No, no, I'm with Keith and Jamie on this one.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Noon is noon, and anything after it is afternoon. Right. Or it is before noon. So what Scott's saying is that I'm not an old man eating lunch at 9.30 in the morning. I'm just eating lunch food for breakfast. No, see, now if you pull the day, Dave used to eat two lunches a day. If you say you're having your second breakfast, that's fine. But you're eating lunch food at 9.30.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Yeah, I had a hamburger and some french fries before the show. You're not having a second breakfast. lunch food at 9.30. Yeah, I had a hamburger and some french fries before the show. You're not having a second breakfast. I don't learn the ring floor, but you can only break the overnight fast once. Okay. I mean, I get that. Breakfast for dinner is delicious. I don't know where you're going with that,
Starting point is 00:25:40 but breakfast for dinner is delicious. I just mean, like, Scott, if it's 11.30 in the morning, would you ever say good morning to someone? You would never say that. It's not morning anymore. He's from Minnesota. He says good morning to someone? You would never say that. It's not morning anymore. He's from Minnesota. He says good morning all hours of the day. I say good morning at 3 in the afternoon.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I'm just bad with time. I used to work overnight, so my clock might be up at that time. Well, then I thoroughly regret sending you the link to this stream. Scott, I'm going to let you go because you don't have your typical audio set up, but thank you for weighing in
Starting point is 00:26:24 and crushing my day, my morning. Okay. You're the best, Scott. All right, man. Take it easy. All right. That is – It's 1130 in the morning.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Damn it. That was really bad. Here's our first email. It comes from Theodore. He says, hey, Fran, Norm, Craig, and Joe. And then he says, Adam better get this. He deserves no help here. Fran, Norm, Craig, and Joe.
Starting point is 00:26:54 I do not know. Are those old Giants players or something? Maybe. Anyway, I'm in a new Superflex league, and I'm not sure what's the best strategy. Should I aggressively pursue quarterback, like round one and another in round two or three, or is it best to wait on that second quarterback?
Starting point is 00:27:13 Which strategy do you guys find more successful in Superflex? I think it comes down to how well you know your league. Because I know Heath once upon a time won, it was a two-quarterback league, but by waiting on quarterbacks and you ended up with, I think, two pretty good ones. I know Stafford was one. I don't remember who else you took. But he knew that I think our league was going to be a little bit more patient with quarterbacks, at least the way I would approach it, and correct me if I'm wrong, Heath.
Starting point is 00:27:43 But like in the fishbowl, I think you kind of know everybody's going quarterbacks early, at least the ones that have people that have played it before. So you better get to quickly because it's going to dry up and dry up fast. Yeah, there's a lot of different ways to skin a cat. Right, Adam? there's a lot of different ways to skin a cat right Adam I mean that's a horrible image but I think I have no there are I'm trying to look up
Starting point is 00:28:14 so last year the guy who won our two quarterback league which really is the same as super flex took Kyler Murray in round one and Jalen Hurts in round three Heath you and I won the super flex 10 team league with Kyler Murray and and Lamar Murray in round one and Jalen Hurts in round three. Heath, you and I won the super flexed 10 team league with Kyler Murray and, and, uh, Lamar Jackson in rounds one and two, but I can't really say that was the reason why we won. Um, we had, we won because of Jamar Chase basically at
Starting point is 00:28:36 the end, but we didn't actually get what we paid for at quarterback late in the year anyway. Um, so I have not found a consistent strategy but but what about you heath what would you tell somebody going in what i generally do is this is where i think tears tears are always important but they become more important is like i will have a list of four or five quarterbacks that i'll take with my first round pick and a list of four or five that i'll take with my second round pick and and i just kind of approach it that way. And if, yeah, if I can get an elite quarterback in round one and a top 10 quarterback in round two, I'm going to take one in the first two rounds probably. But if I have a pick late in the first round and I miss those guys, I'm okay with trying to piece
Starting point is 00:29:17 it together. And I, this is not a bad year to do that. Um, the problem this year is that some of the really high end QB twos that we like the fields, the Lance, maybe the Trevor Lawrence or the two is like, then you've got to really kind of draft a third quarterback a little higher than you might normally as well. See, I think the bigger thing, honestly, is when you get your third quarterback, no matter what strategy you take, if you go too early, if you do the the pieces together
Starting point is 00:29:45 strategy as he said i i think that third guy is almost as important to your strategy because a you're going to need somebody to replace you know two you know for your bi-weeks but you just laid it out adam who was the guy you were using to replace now you guys are in a 10 team league but who are you using to replace lamar jackson for that stretch if your call was tyler huntley was it you know a third guy that you you know kind of hit on i think it was a serviceable third guy uh right kind of kind of i think taylor heineke was was one of our guys at one point we definitely you were you were playing the the roulette game um we had davis mills okay so you know again two guys that you picked up off waivers at some point because they didn't start the season as starters or you drafted them late with the hope
Starting point is 00:30:30 that maybe they got some playing time you know so uh do you guys all have three quarterbacks or more in your in your fishbowl league sort of i have jimmy garoppolo as my qb3 i'm gonna say barely i have kenny pickett as mine okay so you guys both took the approach of wait and see or not really prioritizing it. I took Daniel Jones as my third guy after taking Herbert and Carr. Not that I made it a huge priority to get Daniel Jones, but when I started to see that the QB3 is drying up, or in some cases some teams' second QB, I was like, I want to have at least a third guy that I think will have some upside.
Starting point is 00:31:04 And I think Daniel Jones, for the billionth third guy that I think will have some upside. And I think Daniel Jones for the billionth year in a row will have some upside. But, you know, he was somebody that, you know, of the third, I don't want to say third tier, but, you know, the third wave. You know, so past the guys you mentioned, Heath, of the fields to, you know, Lawrence group. You know, it's Jones. It's Tannehill. It's. I think Goff's a real sneaky one golf he's not right you know those those guys you know daniel jones was somebody that i was like okay he still has the chance if i need him um i feel okay with it as long as you know a grapple is not brought
Starting point is 00:31:39 in for example to the giants all right so i want to do a little bit of history in our 2qb league and see who the champions have drafted the last three seasons so last year rj white drafted kyler in round one and hertz in round three in 2020 ben gretch drafted kyler in round one and russell wilson in round two so that's two straight champions who invested heavily at quarterback but in 2019 it was very different you had uh had George Maselli and Will Brinson. I actually don't know who won, but George Maselli and Will Brinson met in the championship. And George did take Mahomes in round one,
Starting point is 00:32:14 but he waited until round seven to get Matt Ryan. Whereas Will took Carson Wentz in round six and Lamar Jackson in round eight, which obviously was an amazing pick. That was Lamar Jackson's MVP season. So I, like I said, I just haven't seen a consistent approach. Oh, this definitely wins you a super flex league, but boy, I can't imagine any of us are going to, are going to not have at least one top 10 quarterback, right? If we can help it, you know? Well, two teams will in every league.
Starting point is 00:32:46 And none of us. I mean... I'm not ready to commit to that in the 2QB league. It could very well happen. Like, if we get into a situation where I've got the 10th or 11th pick and the first nine picks are quarterbacks and I can get Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Cup
Starting point is 00:33:01 or Austin Eckler and Justin Jefferson, then I'll just wait it out for a while. And then you get to the end of round three. Like what I remember, and this was back 2015, 2016, I think that 2QB league I won was the first year I worked here. And then the next year I was in the finals with a similar strategy. But it's possible. It's just been harder lately because the really good quarterbacks
Starting point is 00:33:22 have been so good. Yeah. Right. This could be a year, say, all the time, where you have Fields and Lawrence and Lance and Tua, and maybe they make the position deeper, and you can wait a little bit more. But you'd be surprised, by the way,
Starting point is 00:33:35 if the first nine picks were quarterbacks, right? No, but probably the first six. Or not the first six, but six of the first nine. Six of the, yeah. All right. Hopefully that helps a little bit. And we actually have a format show coming up next week. We'll talk about salary cap leagues.
Starting point is 00:33:50 We'll talk about super flex. Who's on that show? Do you know? I mean, I know who I put in the email. I don't know who I'm going to put on the thumbnail. Adam's had a rough week with the schedule. I miss Ben so much. All right, this comes from Sergio.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I just went and looked when I saw the schedule for next week. I was like, control F, Heath. Okay, I'm not on. I'm good. He didn't mess with him. So a little peek behind the curtain. So usually we use the draft, the live draft show, as content for the site as well.
Starting point is 00:34:15 And so Adam sent the schedule, and I saw it wasn't on the live stream part of the schedule. So I said, oh, do I not do the draft? You know, our draft prep, our mock draft for this different? He goes, no, you're on the stream. I was like, okay. Yeah, the Tuesday live stream, Jamie uses it for content. So that's why he's on every one.
Starting point is 00:34:36 But of course, in the email, I didn't put him. I didn't write his name. So Jamie, am I not on the show Tuesday? Oh, no, you're on the show. Did I just not put you in the email? I suck at that. I'm just not good at it. All right. This is Serge. Hey, Adam, please just give me Monday off because I'm Oh, no, you're on the show. Did I just not put you on the email? I suck at that. I'm just not good at it. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:45 This is Sergio. Hey, Adam, please just give me Monday off because I'm coming back from the 10-day trip. There he was. You think it's bad that I put you on Monday when you asked for Monday off? I put Dave on the entire week and he was off, okay? Give me a break.
Starting point is 00:35:00 This is from Sergio. We're making a switch from a two-receiver league to a three-receiver league. How much does this change your strategy? It's a $200 salary cap league. If there's a flex also, I think you can certainly lean into going receiver
Starting point is 00:35:18 heavy and be very good. It is a flex also. Yeah, I think you go don't lock yourself into, I need to get three receivers early, but don't shy away from that also. Okay. All right, next email is from Tommy. Greetings, Mr.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Oh, oh, by the way, Fran, Norm, Craig, and Joe are old Giants quarterbacks. I am pretty proud of myself for knowing that, best male host. This is from Tommy. Googled it. No, I said it. I said, are those old Giants? So I kind of got it. Who is it?
Starting point is 00:36:02 Was Tarkington part of the deep play for the Giants? Yes. Fran Tarkington. And then Norm Van Brocklin? That's what I thought, but I think it was actually a different Norm. Yeah, I think Norm Van Brocklin. Norm Sneed. Norm Sneed. Don't know who that is.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Craig Morton and Joe Pasarczyk. Or Pasarczyk. I don't remember how to pronounce it. And that was all before Phil Simms. And all before me. No YA title there, huh? Yeah, I know, right? Do like YA, Phil, Daniel, and Eli,
Starting point is 00:36:31 the four best quarterbacks in Giants history. You need a Giants photo behind you that's iconic. You know what's funny about this photo? It has the prices of all of the Super Bowl. These are all their Super Bowl tickets. And you can see how much the price has gone up. So their first Super Bowl, which was 1987, January of 1987, $75. Last one was $1,200.
Starting point is 00:36:59 That's crazy. What's the most iconic Giants photo? Is it Wyatt Till with the blood on his head? Yeah. Or is it Beckham with the catch? I would say it's either David Tyree or it's Wyatt Tittle. It's Daniel Jones falling down at the 10 with nobody around him. And it's the QB.
Starting point is 00:37:14 You can make a case it's Parcells getting carried off the field. No, I can't make that case. It's a terrible image. I would not like that. Is it McConkie waving the towel? I already told you the two. It's Tyree or it's Tittle. Not Beckham's catch?
Starting point is 00:37:34 I don't think so. Here's a third email. What about Eli Mopiface? From Tommy. First year IDP in my long-running 14-team half-PPR league. Five spots. Defensive tackle, defensive end, linebacker, cornerback,
Starting point is 00:37:50 safety. When do I start drafting these guys? How deep is the draft? 14 teams. Like a 14-round draft? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, my,
Starting point is 00:38:06 my feel always. And again, we've said this a lot that the two IDP leagues that we play in year yearly, um, one is just, we call our IDP league. The other is Heath's dynasty league.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Um, the IDP league. I always wait until the middle of the draft to start looking at it, you know, and that's a 29-round draft. Yeah, round six-ish is what I would say. I'm usually a little bit earlier on these guys than it seems like everybody else is.
Starting point is 00:38:38 And linebacker probably doesn't matter as much because if you're only starting one linebacker, there are 12 of them that are as 14-team league. Yeah, 14, yeah. There's 8 to 10 exceptional high tackle linebackers at least. But yeah, I'd want to get some difference makers at the other positions. I think the one thing, though, in this,
Starting point is 00:38:57 because you only need one, if you want to get one of the premier pass rushers and one of the better linebackers, you could go a little earlier. By the way, Patrick in our chat says the Giants boat trip. Oh, that's a great one. Giants moment. That's good.
Starting point is 00:39:13 One other tip slash wisdom. When you're looking at the corners and the safeties, well, everybody, but especially the corners and the safeties, really prioritize tackles over fantasy points last year because a guy scores a touchdown or has a couple of fumble recoveries and that can really like prioritize the high tackle guys. And also depending on how your scoring is, if you get points for past defense, that's big for corners because they're not going to have high tackle totals
Starting point is 00:39:42 typically. Don't take Jalen Ramsey because teams don't throw at him. You want guys that are going to be involved. Ramsey, though, kind of played all over the field. He was a safety. Shutdown corners, they don't get a lot of tackles. They don't get a lot of targets at them.
Starting point is 00:39:59 That's why I don't really like cornerbacks and IDP because you really don't get reward. You get reward with the interception guys. Our league rewards pass defense and it changes a little bit. Here's an email from Dinesh. He's got two conundrums in his draft. Well, I think they're
Starting point is 00:40:15 hypothetical. I am picking in late round five. I have two receivers and two running backs. Brandon Cooks is on the board. I also have Lamar Jackson and George Kittle available. What direction would you take from here? He's got two running backs. Brandon Cooks is on the board. I also have Lamar Jackson and George Kittle available. What direction would you take from here? So he's got two running backs, two receivers.
Starting point is 00:40:29 Do you draft Cooks, Lamar Jackson, or Kittle? I'm taking Cooks. I would too. What if it's a two receiver league? And a flex. I'm probably still taking Cooks. I might go kittle in that spot especially if it's ppr
Starting point is 00:40:49 two receivers and non-ppr then i might go more all right a second conundrum i am the eighth pick i am picking eighth and i take dalvin cook in the first round at 2.5 i have lamb mark andrews and deandre swift i would ideally like one wide receiver in the first two rounds but i can't at 2.5, I have Lamb, Mark Andrews, and DeAndre Swift. I would ideally like one wide receiver in the first two rounds, but I can't pass up the value of Swift there or get a potential number one tight end. What would you do if you had Dalvin Cook and you had to choose between Lamb, Andrews, and Swift?
Starting point is 00:41:20 I would take Swift because you could be looking in round three and Michael Pittman could be there. T. Higgins could be there. I like that build a little bit better. I really think this might depend on how you feel about Kyle Pitts. If you think Pitts is not that far from Andrews, then he might be there in the third
Starting point is 00:41:41 because that's a weird spot for getting Waller or Kittle unless you want to take him in round four be hard to get him at the end of round five um i would take andrews but if you don't see as big a gap between andrews and pits as i do then you could take swift and and wait all right here's jeremy klein from a small town in texas houston with mcdaniel Dolphins, do you feel that we will see a player have a similar role to what Debo Samuel had last year? If so, who will it be? I don't really, but my
Starting point is 00:42:16 order of likelihood would be Chase Edmonds followed by Jalen Waddell followed by Tyreek Hill. I mean, Tyreek did this as a rookie, right? Yeah, but he is so contact-averse the last couple of years. I don't know if he will run like Debo did through the hole.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Well, he may not run the way he's supposed to go, but he may try to outrun people. I mean, I think if anybody's going to be in that role, it would be Tyreek. Yeah, but more likely nobody's going to be in that role, right? I mean, they don't have a physical receiver like that that's built that way. Yeah, I don't even think Debo's going to be in that role. His carries are going to come way down.
Starting point is 00:42:56 It's just so funny because at the owners' meetings, I had this question. Several other people were asking these questions. Who would you use like Debo Samuel? You know, it was, you know, not necessarily that vague, but like, you know, I asked Cliff Kingsbury, you know, would you want to use Rondell Moore similarly? Or even Kingsbury might have been brought up on his own. He's like, you know, we can try and emulate some of the things that Debo did with Rondell Moore. Did you ask him what he thought of the name Placebo Samuel? No. I still don't get it. of the name Placebo Samuel? No.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I still don't get it. I still don't think it makes sense. I just don't think it works. Somebody asked about Travis Etienne in that role. Yeah. It's going to be copycatted to a certain degree by certain teams. But there's a reason that dude is that dude.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Alright, this is from Ross. Hey, Ragnarok, Love and Thunder, Dark World, and Thor. Oh, Spider-Man. Those are definitely not rankings. Long-time caller, first-time listener. Hmm. That's flipped, but that's okay. I have Antonio Brown in a Dynasty League.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Should I wait to drop him? I feel like he's just eating away a roster spot at this point. I mean, I think the rule is with anything throughout the course of a season or dynasty or whatever, if there's somebody available that you think is better, you drop him and you pick that guy up. Yeah. As a general rule,
Starting point is 00:44:14 I, for some reason, would still like to hold him, especially with the Ravens' wide receiver room and his hanging out with Lamar all summer. Okay, this is from Andrew and he says which three keepers should I select? Oh wait, now it's only two. We actually answered a keeper question for him in
Starting point is 00:44:33 February, but things have changed quite a bit. He had Tyreek Hill and Javante Williams. Now Hill's on the Dolphins and Melvin Gordon's back on the Broncos. Pick two of these four to keep. I don't think there are any penalties. We get them for one extra season.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Mixon, Tyreek Hill, Javante Williams, Pittman. Pick two. Is it just this year? One more season. If it's one more season, I have a hard time throwing back Javante. I'd go Mixon and Javante. I would too. If it's just this season, I would go Mixon and Pittman.
Starting point is 00:45:12 This is from Max. I'm a 10-team half PPR, three-receiver league with a flex. I have the ninth pick. How are you all feeling about drafting at the turn this year? So this is a ninth pick in a 10 team league, three receivers. And I like DJ more,
Starting point is 00:45:33 but I feel like I'm reaching for him. I think in the third or fourth round. So that would be 32nd overall in the fourth round. We don't consider that a reach. I'll just tell you that he
Starting point is 00:45:44 and Jamie aren't going to hate that. But how do you feel about having the ninth pick in a 10-team league? It's fantastic. I don't hate it. Every pick is good in a 10-team league, I feel like. I never... I don't know.
Starting point is 00:46:04 I mean, you're getting, what, two picks in the top, two of the top 13 picks, right? 12. 12 picks? Yeah, that's great. It's still top 13. I didn't check the correct. It is.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Okay, that will do it for our emails. Let's go to our Apple podcast questions here. This is from no name on this. Oh, Jay from Roanoke. 12 team keeper league. We can keep three. Keep as long as you want. Just move up around each year. It is
Starting point is 00:46:36 peeper. It is PPR. 12 team peeper league. I know about those leagues. PPR scoring. That was enthusiasm. Aaron Jones in the seventh. Jalen Hurts in the eighth. Cam Akers in the 16th.
Starting point is 00:46:53 So many. Tony in the 13th. Schultz in the 15th. And Dylan in the sixth. So pick three of those, and they can move up around each year as long as you want. Aaron Jones in the seventh. Hurts in 8th, Akers in the 16th, Tony in the 13th, Schultz in the 15th, Dillon in the 6th.
Starting point is 00:47:13 One QB? Yeah. Akers is an easy one. I'm going Jones, Akers, and Hertz. I'll go Jones, Akers, and Tony. Okay, this is from McGregor37. He says, Dear Alex, Pete, Georgie, and Dim. I think I know that. I think that is Clockwork Orange.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Yeah, what a dreadful, dreadful movie. Oh my gosh. Just awful. Like, screw you for making that. Did we just go from Peepers to Clockwork Orange? Yeah. Is that where you're making an eye joke? Heath is just too smart for me.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Can you help me with a Keeper question? Oh, Placebo Samuel? Oh, placebo Samuel. No, just kidding. 10-team half PPR. We can keep any one player two rounds earlier than we drafted them the year before. No limit to how many years we can keep a player besides them not being available
Starting point is 00:48:20 after they're drafted in the first or second round. I am torn between Antonio Gibson in the 12th and ETN in the 14th. ETN for me, easy. I understand why you're torn. I'd probably lean ETN as well. This is from ThickboySickboy.
Starting point is 00:48:38 12-team PPR question. Do I keep Diggs in the fourth? I read it. Why not? Did we get a new distribution area? Okay. Do I keep, well, it's thick with two C's, by the way.
Starting point is 00:48:57 So that changes everything. Do I keep Diggs in the fourth, Josh Allen in the seventh, Waddle in the seventh, or McLaurin in the 13th. All right. So again, it's Diggs in the fourth, Allen in the seventh, Waddle in the seventh, McLaurin in the 13th.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Keep one? Yeah. McLaurin. Yeah. From TD Hodges. Can you just do a podcast describing the different styles of fantasy football and discuss the pros and cons? Yes. Yeah, we'll do that on Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Next question. Yeah. Just real quick, give me your favorite style. Superflex. Yes. And I will add Dynasty, Superflex, Best Ball with head-to-head matchups. Okay, that's... No.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Well, you don't take away the start or sit element. How many start-sit questions do you get a week, Keith? If you keep promoting Best Ball, we're going to be out of jobs. No. Because all we do for four months is tell people who to start and sit. There's plenty of other things to do. It would make September through December a lot quieter. All right. This is from GGHHAMR, which is probably something perverted.
Starting point is 00:50:22 I play in a half-point redraft league. We only have to start one running back with two wide receivers and two flexes. I think I should prioritize wide receiver from the 10 spot since I can roll up to four in a starting lineup. How should this lineup config influence my drafting strategy? Yeah, I agree. I mean, definitely more wide receiver heavy.
Starting point is 00:50:50 I still want to get two elite running backs and half PPR. Right, exactly. You don't need to. If you're at the 10 spot and you can get an elite running back, you don't have to go wide receiver just because of this format here. It's still a good time to get that. Wait, can I start three running backs? No, two. Yes, yes, two yes yes yes yes yes you can yeah i might draft three running backs to start why would you do that how is that any different than a regular league where
Starting point is 00:51:17 you start two running backs i think like full ppr was designed to make wide receivers somewhat equal to running backs half pPR running backs are still king. But he, but it's still drafting three of them is not like that's very risky. This is a best ball here. I know you can start there, but you can draft the third one later. You did a whole show about how around four through six wide receivers are
Starting point is 00:51:42 where it's at. It doesn't mean I don't want a wide receiver around one or two. Those guys are the best. So you'd be passing on potentially Jefferson or Chase to get Chubb? Well. Maybe more like you're passing on Diggs or Adams to get Diggs to get Chubb. I don't know. I would still take Jefferson at 10. I would still take Jefferson at 10.
Starting point is 00:52:06 I would not take Chase at 10. All right, this is from Quadman. Wait, I got to get the music out there. This is from Quadman. I'm in a 12-team half PBR Superflex league where we keep five every offseason. I was set on keeping Dak Prescott, Superflex, Austin Eckler,
Starting point is 00:52:30 CeeDee Lamb, and A.J. Brown. Very nice. I was unsure about keeping Elijah Mitchell, and then I had the opportunity to trade him straight up for Jalen Waddell, and I took it, and he will now be my fifth keeper. Did I make the right move? You keep that move for just this year?
Starting point is 00:52:49 No, I don't think so. If Mitchell keeps the job all year, I would rather have him than Waddle in a half PPR league. I'd rather have Waddle. The trajectory, I mean, in two years, probably going to favor Waddle. The trajectory, I mean, in two years, probably going to favor Waddle. Right?
Starting point is 00:53:11 Let's see. New quarterback in my... No. Yeah, I mean, Mitchell could be great. Could be out of the league. All right. I'm just telling our YouTubers now it's time to get your questions in.
Starting point is 00:53:28 We'll be reading those shortly. Well, we're going to read them now. And this is from CDM083. Or that's an O, 083. I have two separate questions. First, keeper decision. The league I play in allows for a player to be kept at their previous year draft cost
Starting point is 00:53:43 and then go up one round in value every year. So I'm able to keep Swift in the eighth round this year. My other options are Kyle Pitts in the fifth, Bateman, Elijah Moore in the tenth. Who would you select there? Pitts in the fifth or Bateman or Elijah Moore in the tenth? Bateman in the tenth. I would go Bateman in the tenth.
Starting point is 00:54:04 My other question is Dynasty related. I did a startup draft and we're now preparing for our four round rookie draft. I have the top pick and I've received a few offers. One was DK Metcalf for pick 101 and Michael Gallup. The other was Hollywood Brown for 101. Also, I had an offer for the 109 and my combination of Sanders, Jacobs, and Singletary. Would you trade, pick 101
Starting point is 00:54:29 for any of these? It's 101 and Gallup for DK Metcalf. Would you do that? No. 101 for Hollywood Brown. No. 101 for 109. 101 and Sanders. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:54:44 No, sorry. 101 for 109 and Miles Sanders,. Oh, no, no, no. No, sorry. 101 for 109 and Miles Sanders, Josh Jacobs, or Devin Singletary? No. No. Okay. Let's get some YouTube questions. Gabriel says, if it's before 1130, good morning from Hialeah.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Please ask Keith when he and Dave will do a live Q&A at Twin Peaks Davy. Might be a little while. 10 team half PPR from Manuel here with two keepers. I plan on keeping Eckler, but I'm torn between Nick Chubb and Aaron Jones. I would go with Chubb.
Starting point is 00:55:32 I would go with Jones. From A12345, what is your favorite spot to draft in a 2QB half PPR 10-team league and why? That's exactly what we have, Heath, our Superflex League. Yeah, I hate it. What? I hate it. our 10-team league and why? That's exactly what we have, Heath, our super flex league. Yeah, I hate it. What?
Starting point is 00:55:48 I hate it. Why? I don't like 10-team leagues very much. Get out of here. It's even more, unless you make a best ball. I would like to have the first pick. Agreed.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Disagree. I would like to have two stud quarterbacks, and I think picking somewhere around eighth would be better for that. Did you go quarterback, quarterback? Yes, we went Lamar Jackson and... No, no, I'm sorry, in the fishbowl. No, I went Kelsey, Hurtssey hurts lance and who was available when you took kelsey very mean of travis kelsey by the way for hurting trey lance who was available
Starting point is 00:56:31 tom brady was available uh yeah i had the ninth pick so i had the fourth pick in both round two and round three because of the reversal i mean i had the third pick and i went herbert and car very happy about that with the third pick okay but that is a tight end premium yeah but that's not two elites i mean it could be it could be but that's also 12 team league yeah all right i don't i don't i don't want to argue about this anymore. Here's another. This is Dinesh who wrote that email about the conundrums. He's got another one. Round seven comes, and you have four running backs
Starting point is 00:57:12 and three wide receivers. Are you panicking for a quarterback or a tight end? Can you push that decision to the ninth or the tenth and still be happy with your draft? I think if you know your league and how they draft those positions, that would help. I'm always very happy to still get Cousins, Carr, Lance, Stafford.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Those guys are typically available. I don't know, again, how much longer Lance will be there, but those guys are typically available. And then tight end, you know, this is still a range for Schultz. But you have Hawkinson and Goddard in round seven. So, yeah. Yeah, I'm not panicking, but if one of Hurts, Lamar, or Brady's fallen,
Starting point is 00:57:52 I'm taking them. If one of Goddard or Schultz or Hawkinson's there, I'm taking them. It's really a great question because people, they do panic, and you shouldn't because at round seven, I talk a lot about the rounds four to six wide receivers. They do panic, and you shouldn't. Because at round seven,
Starting point is 00:58:07 I talk a lot about the rounds four to six wide receivers. Once you get to round seven at wide receiver, you're starting to run out of players that could legitimately win you your league. I know Debo Samuel did it last year. Jamar Chase did it in this range last year. That was unusual. So, I mean, you don't want to be getting your fourth wide receiver in round 10.
Starting point is 00:58:23 There's a big difference between round 7 and round 10. I don't know if I agree with you because I think we're going to see Hopkins in this range and can still be defined as a league winner. In round 7, yeah. What I'm saying is in round 10, you're unlikely to find a player like that. Well, at that position, maybe. But round 10 can be Madison, could be Ramondre Stevenson still, could be a lot of running backs that could win your league.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Could be Garrett Wilson. Yeah, right, okay, but specifically, I mean, it could be Drake London. I think he's more like round eight or nine. No, round nine, if I recall, is about 100th overall. Anyway, I'm just saying historically I was looking at the trends you know, you're starting to run out of the league winning wide receivers at this point, but not a
Starting point is 00:59:11 quarterback, you know, so I'm just saying it. I think I definitely I think he said it best. You don't have to panic, but I think also when you start to get to around seven and to your point, Adam, if you look at the talent pool and you're like, I don't love any of these guys, you can certainly pivot to
Starting point is 00:59:28 a Hertz if he's there or Russell Wilson, one of those guys. Or you can definitely take the Goddard-Hockinson, maybe Ertz tight end pairing in that spot too. Jim Parsons is in a super flex league.
Starting point is 00:59:42 He has the second pick. Would you take McCaffrey cup or Josh Allen? Allen. Allen. Let's see if I can find one more here. From M Cooper, three Oh five. Would you take Kelsey in late round two or Dalton Schultz in round six or
Starting point is 01:00:04 seven? I mean, if Kelsey's there in late round two, thatton Schultz in round six or seven? I mean, if Kelsey's there in late round two, that's one of the biggest deals of the draft. All right, let's change that to late round one, early round two. Would you take Kelsey in late round one,
Starting point is 01:00:15 early round two or Schultz in round six or seven? Kelsey. Kelsey. Kelsey. All right. Have you thought of any more pet peeves? No. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:00:24 me either. I just feel so bad. I have a really fun one and I'm blanking. It's probably something Heath does. I think when Heath makes up quotes and adds them to the thread of terrible laser quotes. What quotes did I make up? I never said that I didn't like Michael B. Jordan. Oh, you 100%.
Starting point is 01:00:44 That was right during the Creed era. I just don't remember saying it. I don't know why I would have said that. I don't feel that way. I think you were trying to defend not liking Creed. Yeah, I don't dislike Creed. It's fine. It's an okay movie.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Oh, pet peeve is somebody telling me to work when I'm not supposed to. Man, when somebody's trying to make an argument about a player and they take out all of their bad games and only use their good games and the person they're comparing them to, they talk about all their bad games. Can I ask you a personal question? It drives me crazy. I have a decision I have to make tomorrow. Heath, maybe you can help me since you and I are in the same club here.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Going to a birthday party tomorrow for a four-year-old. And my son was invited. It's not just me showing up. So we're going to a birthday party for a four-year-old. But it's a pool party. And I don't really know anyone there. And I'm a little self-conscious about taking my shirt off, Heath. Because you and I were in the hairy chess club.
Starting point is 01:01:45 And I don't really know what to do about this. Rashguard. I'm a big proponent of taking my shirt off in public. I don't think you should have anything to be ashamed of at all. I am ashamed. Rashguard would be a great idea.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Where do I buy one of those? Dix. Alright. I'm off to Dix. We'll talk to you all on Monday on Fantasy Football Today.
