Starting point is 00:01:43 It's mailbag time. Friday afternoon for us us if you're listening on saturday thank you so much hope you're enjoying your weekend adam azar and pizza snob dan schneier here for your fft mailbag what's up pizza snob dad you know i had myself some pizza last night have you guys heard of angeloni's in new jersey great place to make a thinny thin thin crust pizza my other pizza snob take is thin crust pizza crispy well done is the way to order a pizza i you let you look honestly if it's good pizza the thin the thick the thickness doesn't matter if it's good pizza the sauce is good yeah sauce is the key i i like a crust i like something to hold on to it's something to enjoy afterwards. Yeah, Dan is a bit of a pizza snob, but that's okay.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Most Northeasterners are. We are. We admittedly admit. The water here is the best. It's the best. We could bottle up this water and sell it all over. This is the best. That's basically Dan Steyer. Anyway, we've got a lot of news to get to here.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Your email is at fantasyfootball at cbsi.com and a bunch of your Apple podcast questions as well. And if you're watching on YouTube, youtube.com slash fantasyfootball today, we will get to your questions later on in the show. And I'm sure we'll come up with some goofy topic to talk about at some point. Now, Kyle Pitts is out.
Starting point is 00:02:59 It's amazing how many news items we've had since the Friday show, which was like four hours ago. But Kyle Pitts is out. Dan, what do you think about Drake London this week now with Kyle Pitts out at Tampa Bay? I still feel like it's going to be a risky play this week against that defense. The upside is, okay, Tampa's offense gets going.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Game script requires Atlanta to start throwing the football early and often, which is something they haven't wanted to do. But I still feel like that Tampa offense isn't fully clicking yet. So I think we could still be in a game like we saw last week where the Falcons are doing what they can do this year, which is run the ball really well. And so now with more attention on Drake London, I don't think that actually helps him with pits off the field. I think it actually hurts him because it's not like pits was getting many targets anyway to begin with. So this is not a good thing for me on Drake London front. I'll go the opposite way.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I just think he gets enough target. I mean, I probably from an efficiency standpoint, it's not good, but I expect them to be throwing more because I expect them for the first time to be, you know, really trailing. They've been within four points in every game for the 15th time this week. I'm saying that. So I think they throw more. It leads to more targets, and I think he's in the number 2-3 receiver range.
Starting point is 00:04:12 More news here. Frank Reich is optimistic that Jonathan Taylor will play next week, so you can probably avoid that waiver wire situation. Garrett Bowles, their left tackle, or the Broncos' left tackle, he's out for the season. And starting cornerback Ronald Darby is out for the season for the Broncos. It was a really bad day at the office for them. Is that the worst football game you've seen this season?
Starting point is 00:04:34 Yeah. I can't think of one that would be worse. We were talking about that earlier. You know, okay. What was worse? Is that worse than Rams-Bills in week one, which was a blowout and had no suspense? This at least came down to the final play. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:04:47 We want to see some touchdowns in football, Adam. We're not going to watch field goals. Well, you obviously didn't see that our listener won $10,000, Brandon, because there were no touchdowns. I would have loved to see that. $100 on nobody scoring a touchdown. He won $10,000. That's unbelievable, Brandon. That is incredible. I can't,
Starting point is 00:05:05 I can't stop talking about it. Like telling other people about it. Also, I sneaky kind of love that bet because they came in as the least, uh, the fewest scoring points in the league, the Colts and the third few is the Broncos. It's a sneaky,
Starting point is 00:05:15 great bet. Yeah. Cameron Bray. I think Cameron Bray has been ruled out. Is that right? Can't break it out. Uh, no,
Starting point is 00:05:21 the concussion, uh, they're, they're unclear, right? Or did he recently get ruled out? I'm going to double check. Zach Brooke, our producer, will double check for us and let us know about Cameron Brait.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Tyreek Hill is questionable. However, he did practice on Friday. Looks like he's going to play. Zay Jones is going to play. Would you start Zay Jones over Drake London? Would you go that far? No, I wouldn't go that far. Curtis Samuel, back out there. He practiced on Friday. He's been dealing
Starting point is 00:05:50 with that illness, so it looks like he'll play. Jadeveon Clowney seems like things are trending in the right direction for Jadeveon Clowney to play against the Chargers. That's Brown's defensive end. Terrace Marshall in a deeper league. You want to put somebody on your... I don't know. I can't even make that case,
Starting point is 00:06:09 but Terrace Marshall for the Panthers has apparently had good practices and he's going to be active. He's going to play this week. Dawson Knox is out. And Isaiah McKenzie, as of last check was still in the concussion protocol. So maybe short, like the bills are really shorthanded. Jordan Poyer,
Starting point is 00:06:20 they're starting safeties out and I think they're still going to crush the Steelers. And Amandra St. Brown was able to practice on Friday. That was interesting. Yeah, Jordan Poyer, they're starting safeties out, and I think they're still going to crush the Steelers. And Amandra St. Brown was able to practice on Friday. That was interesting. Yeah, this is not a sure indication that he's going to play. Right. But he did practice.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And I am not going to start Josh Reynolds if Amandra St. Brown plays. I don't know how you feel about it. That's the right call, I think. And Daniel Jones is going to play, and Kadarius Toney, Kenny Galladay, and Wandel Robinson will not play. I can't do it anymore with Kedarious. Different hamstring injury now? Are you kidding me? It's a new hamstring. Yeah, it's the other one.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Come on, man. That's so... That's tough. Cameron Braid is out. Thank you, Zach Brooke, for helping out. Zach does our Friday and Saturday shows for Thomas, who has the best hair on the fantasy staff, as we all know. Dan, if you're watching, Dan said I had a quote. I think he said terrible haircut, horrible haircut.
Starting point is 00:07:14 What did you say before the show? I think he said terrible haircut. It's a terrible haircut. I mean, just take a look at it. Look at the cut right there. I mean, will you ever do something with the front of your hair? Do you ever plan to comb it or put some gel in it or anything? You just like,
Starting point is 00:07:28 let it fly as is. And just, well, you don't like this little bang. You're offended by the, that's what I'm talking about right there. Like, how do you just get a haircut?
Starting point is 00:07:36 And the front looks like that. I don't get it. It's a good point. I don't have, I mean, I have a good hairline, but you have a very defined hairline. Thank you. Mine's a little way forward. According to the listeners. I don't have, I mean, I have a good hairline, but you have a very defined hairline. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Mine's a little wavy. But I have a big forehead, according to the listeners. I didn't see, I wouldn't have put that up if I had seen. That was a really rude comment that that guy made. It's fair. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, like, now it's fine. Yeah, you just have to brush it a little.
Starting point is 00:07:57 That's what I'm saying. Just do a little something. I don't like it. I don't like it. I like it messy. I like it messy. Yeah. Well, thanks anyway.
Starting point is 00:08:03 It was a really nice thing you said. You said something way meaner that we're not going to bring up off air. What did I say? All right. If anybody listened to me on the box score, I was like, all right, guys, let's let's what are some of your favorite stats from from week four? And Jacob would give a stat. Well, here's one that Jacob tweeted.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Let me read Jacob's. I did. No, that's probably five times. It's not. It's pretty much exactly what happened. It was one show. First of all. Second of all, I found those to be really good stats to back up the points I made.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I had players picked out and I was looking for stats and I found Jacob's stats. So what? That's all right. What's wrong with that? It's fine. It's called. What's what's the word? I don't have the word right now, but
Starting point is 00:08:45 it's good to use our own time. It's plagiarism. Listen, there's almost no better feeling than sinking into the couch for a long Sunday of football, but you know what's even better? Winning $10,000 on a crazy bet. But you know what's even better than that? Watching football on Sunday and having the chance to

Starting point is 00:09:42 from various places around the planet. You can imagine some of the conversations we had about similar Camara issues, and I heard something similar on the podcast yesterday. All right, we call it, this is what he has, and I think it's great because it has an acronym. The acronym is DIRT. The Designated Inactive Replacement Team, or DIRT. Each week, our managers can select one player from each position,
Starting point is 00:10:04 not a DST, from their bench. Record those on our league message board before any games start. And if a player is inactive at the last minute, the league manager
Starting point is 00:10:15 can replace that player with the dirt player on their list. The dirt list is time-stamped on our league message board so we know if it was made before any games started. This has helped us
Starting point is 00:10:24 when games were starting between midnight and 6 a.m. in other parts of the world. It's not often on our league message board so we know if it was made before any game started. This has helped us when games were starting between midnight and 6 a.m. in other parts of the world. It's not often that this happens, but when it's used, it's been a game changer for most managers. We've tweaked it over the years, but that's the basic gist of it. Just a thought. You know, I like it, Dan.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Dirt. Yeah, the acronym's great, but I also love this. I mean, we have something similar in my home league. We call it contingency plan. As long as you put it on the message board, we allow it. And why, again, I come back to this every time when we talk about this topic, Adam. Why not? Why are we like, I hate the managers who are like, yeah, you started in inactive.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I get that. But it's a money thing. I don't know. You're probably not paying for high, playing for high stakes. So for people who are playing high stakes leagues, I get it. We had somebody reach out to us from Hawaii this week, Adam. Did you see that DM we got, or email we got from the guy from Hawaii?
Starting point is 00:11:08 He's like, what are the people supposed to do when it's like 2 a.m. their time or whatever? Yeah. You know what? Look, I think everybody should just let people do what they want in their own league and respect it. I got a new segment here I'm very excited about.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Dan, tell us about Adi. Who is Adi, our colleague? Oh, Adi. Adi is... Adi manages all of editorial on all of CBS Sports. And Adi has a very distinct personality. He will come after you, so be aware. He will always take shots at you, whether that be on Twitter, on various...
Starting point is 00:11:44 I've seen him. It ranges far and wide where he'll take the shots. He's very sarcastic, so expect sarcasm at all times. And listen, at times it feels like, at least from his conversations with me, that he thinks he could do our job better than we can, Adam. It really does feel like that sometimes.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Adi, we'll come after you. If you have a bad take, he will never let it down. What did he do this time? His assault on you extends to slack. This is a new Adi will come after you. If you have a bad take, he will never let it down. So what did he do this time? Yeah. Well, it extends to his assault on you extends to slack. So this is a new segment called Adi Trashes Dan. I got a slack message from Adi. He says, week two, I offer Saquon Barkley and Mooney to Dan Schneier for Jonathan Taylor.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Week three, I offer Barkley and Noah Brown for Jonathan Taylor. For Taylor and Allen Robinson. For Taylor and Allen Robinson. This week, he spends $7 in fab to sign Mooney while having to play without Jonathan Taylor. Ask him the hard hitting questions. I don't know what the question is there, but I do love... The question is, how bad
Starting point is 00:12:42 am I to decline that offer two weeks in a row? I guess. I don't know. Would you have done that, Adam? No. At either point? No. No, right?
Starting point is 00:12:50 Of course not. You did the right thing. Let's trash Adi. Adi, you can give it out, but you're going to have to take it, too, because we're going to trash you. So leave Dan alone. And Adi, I believe, had a big mistake last year in our work league finals. I'm going to have to try to look back to see the semis or the finals, wherever he lost at. He had a big lineup mistake that I'm now
Starting point is 00:13:08 going to have to look back, track, figure out. I'm very curious. I'll bring that up. If it's such a bad lineup mistake, then we're just going to start calling lineup mistakes oddies. I like it. Let's read some emails. Fantasyfootball at CBSi.com. Here's a trade. Most of these emails are trade questions.
Starting point is 00:13:24 It's from keenan give up courtland sutton and chase edmunds this is a ppr 10 team league give up sutton and edmunds get kareem hunt zach earths and zay jones his tight end is kyle pitts okay i think i like this he also needs a running back. His running backs are Dylan Edmonds, Akers, Algier, and Rashad White. So he gives up Sutton who you'd have to say is the best player in the deal and Chase Edmonds. He gets Kareem Hunt,
Starting point is 00:13:53 Zach Ertz, and Zay Jones. So Kareem Hunt is a player who was discussed on the podcast this week as a potential buy low player and I agree with that take. I'm big on Kareem Hunt. You look at Ertz, you can wonder, is he going to go downhill a bit when Hopkins is back? I know that's some of the speculation, but you look at last year and he was pretty good in that offense.
Starting point is 00:14:10 So I kind of like him. Zay Jones is just like kind of a PPR guy and this is full team PPR. So he kind of has some value there as well. He always gets, I mean, when healthy, he's going to get five, six, seven targets a game sudden down for me, Adam, he's trending down at whole Broncos offense. Remember we talked about a couple weeks ago, are we buying low? I mean, now I'm done with them.
Starting point is 00:14:28 With Garrett Bowles out for the year, I'm pretty much done with them. And so Chase Edmonds, there's the upside of if and when Raheem Mostert gets hurt, but I like this trade. I don't think I like it. I don't like giving up the best player in the deal. Who's the best player?
Starting point is 00:14:43 It's definitely Sudden. To me, it's not even a question. As bad as he's been, I think he scored 12 or more PPR fantasy points in every game. He's got a high floor. He's the only guy that... Oh, not that. He scored about eight PPR fantasy points three straight weeks.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Okay. Yeah, he's like the only guy that Russell Wilson wilson throws to so i'm not you've got jefferson and dig so you want to trade sutton that's fine but i think sutton should get you more than basically to me it's like kareem hunt and zackerts for sutton so it's not a terrible trade you know but i i wouldn't do it personally from eight eight dear Bob Saccomano, J. Ryman Schneider, Lómez, and the Lopper. Is this Breaking Bad Universe? No, Lómez.
Starting point is 00:15:35 All right, Zach, I see you backstage. Go ahead. You can join the show. You can tell us who it is. Comic books? Oh, you're muted. You got to unmute yourself. Unmute yourself. Muted. Pretty sure it's Seinfeld. Oh, you're muted. You got to unmute yourself. Unmute yourself.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Muted. Pretty sure it's Seinfeld. Oh, wow. Oh, it's Seinfeld? You know, I do like Seinfeld. I'm not going to lie. But I don't know it that well. Yeah, I don't know it as well as I should.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Like, if you give me a curb reference, I'll hit it every time. But for Seinfeld, I can't do that. You got to watch Seinfeld. All right. I've watched Seinfeld. Yeah, he's like, the dingo ate your baby. Remember he quoted that in the obvious Seinfeld, I can't do that. You've got to watch Seinfeld. All right. I've watched Seinfeld. Yeah, he's like, the dingo ate your baby. Remember he quoted that in an obvious Seinfeld. All right, maybe it's time to admit that Alec Pierce is a legit player
Starting point is 00:16:12 and Michael Pittman will not be a top 10 guy. I got laughed out of my draft when I took T. Higgins over Michael Pittman. He's solid, but he's no top dog. Oh, those are Kramer's friends. And the last one was a serial killer from seinfeld yeah the sacramental one i knew i knew it from somewhere but yeah it's an interesting point i i still feel like that they're being held back by matt ryan like even michael pittman if you look at some of like not to reference someone else here adam but
Starting point is 00:16:39 someone i really respect in the industry matt harman who charts every single receiver every offseason his reception perception data met mich meant Michael Pittman was with the elites. And I still feel like it's an issue. It's a Matt Ryan issue more than Pittman versus Pierce. But I did like Pierce a lot. Me and Dave, we did the draft profiles this offseason. We loved Alec Pierce's tape. I mean, he is not just a big receiver.
Starting point is 00:16:59 He has some speed. He has some ability to get in and out of his break. So it could be a case of both receivers are good and both are being held back by Matt Ryan. But obviously last night, it looked like you would rather have Pierce. So I don't know. It's not I don't think it's as defined as we hoped originally with Pittman versus Pierce as far as the reason to like Pittman so much was the target volume. But ultimately, I think this is a Matt Ryan problem. Yeah. And I think it's a little hard to judge Pierce. Don't ever judge people when they face the Broncos. You know, it's just, you're just really difficult circumstances. So especially
Starting point is 00:17:33 when Pittman was getting covered by their top cornerback for much of that, I mean, it was Darby, but then when Darby got hurt, it was, was Darby at first it was both of them. And then it was really mostly certain. Um, yeah, I mean the issue I issue I had with Pittman was I didn't think he was a great player. I didn't know. He hadn't proven that yet. So when you're talking about taking Pittman over a guy like Tyreek Hill, that was a tough sell. Even a guy like T. Higgins.
Starting point is 00:17:57 But I think the volume is still going to be really good for him. I would buy low, but he's not gonna be like a top five guy, but I think he could be a top 12 guy, but it's, you know, it's hard. Like name 12 great receiver, name 12 receivers that who the best 12 receivers and fantasy right now. Yeah. I mean, you've got caught Jefferson. We think chase maybe Higgins Higgins should definitely be in that digs for sure. Diggs Adams. I think Tyreek Hill Hill for sure. Higginsins for sure AJ Brown I think has earned that Amonra St. Brown has earned that Amonra for sure if healthy who else and then it gets well Higgins I want to throw Higgins in there
Starting point is 00:18:35 yeah I was including CD lamb for sure oh yeah lamb good lamb for sure um I'm trying to just think of my preseason rankings how it's played out because like sudden I wanted to put in there I can't put in there um I thought there was a chance preseason rankings and how it's played out. Because Sutton, I wanted to put in there. I can't put in there. I thought there was a chance preseason. Now it's looking awful, this take. There's Debo. I don't know. I can't tell you.
Starting point is 00:18:54 I don't think Debo is a slam dunk. I think Evans and Godwin have a chance. Evans, for sure. I think Corlin Sutton has a chance. Not going to lie. I think that's... I think it's got to be Christian Kirk has a chance. Kirk's interesting just because of the target volume and PPR.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Yeah, it's not what we expected it to be at receiver. All of us receiver drafters are struggling a bit at this time. Everyone is. Alright, so let's go a little faster here. I take way too much time on those questions. This is from Kevin. 10 team half PPR league. Russell Wilson's killing me. Should
Starting point is 00:19:26 I drop Russell Wilson for Jared Goff? I mean, I might. I honestly might at this point, Adam, because Russell Wilson just lost Garrett Bowles, his left tackle. That's going to be a big problem. The Broncos don't have any replacement there.
Starting point is 00:19:44 It's already an offensive line that hasn't been, well, either he hasn't been protecting him well, or Russell Wilson has just been Russell Wilsoning it and taking too much time, taking too much sacks, not getting rid of the football. There's big issues with that offense to me, Adam. Uh, and I would say that without Garrett Bowles for the rest of the season, I would take Jared Goff over, especially because Jared Goff produced without Amon Razain Brown. That was an eye-opening performance from Goff. It just goes to show how much of an edge you can have when you have the best or the second-best offensive line in football.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah, he went into that game, Jared Goff, completing 59% of his passes. So it's not like he was... I don't know what it is now. But yeah, I mean, here's the thing about dropping Wilson for golf. Golf's on a buy next week. It doesn't really do you any good. Not yet.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Casey from the Music City. Hey, Chris, Gordy, Vern, and Ted. Chris, Gordy, Vern, and Ted. That's easy. Some kind of hockey thing. No, that's a good guess, but it's stand by me. I'm trying to decide if I should be shopping any running backs to upgrade at wide receiver or if I should just hold. It's a two receiver league but it's stand by me. Okay. I'm trying to decide if I should be shopping any running backs to upgrade at wide receiver,
Starting point is 00:20:46 or if I should just hold, it's a two receiver league. It's half PPR. Would you try to flip Dalvin cook, Aaron Jones, James Robinson, or Damian Pierce for a receiver like Jamar chase, Tyree killer,
Starting point is 00:20:56 Devante Adams? 100%. Yes. This is a great time to do it too. You have the depth at running back. And like you said, you can buy low on a player like Chase. Chase is probably the number one player with Target here.
Starting point is 00:21:08 See what you can get for Chase. Look, as Adam said on the last podcast. Give for Chase. Give for Chase, yeah. As Adam said on the last podcast, it's not like this is going. We've seen last year Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen. They figured out how to beat two high safety looks and get explosive plays. So at some point, Chase is going to have those explosive games for you.
Starting point is 00:21:27 And by he, you, the upside of getting a chase versus, I mean, you'd probably have to go up. I think maybe James Robinson and Dalvin for chase and something that would probably be. Oh,
Starting point is 00:21:35 I don't know if I want to give up two of them. No, but you just give up Dalvin for chase straight up. Can you give up Dalvin for chase straight up? I don't think that you think a manager is going to do that. Dalvin, you're not really selling high on dalvin dalvin hasn't broken out either i think i mean they went basically back to back in adp i think it's possible you could try it all right i gotta keep going here from ted in toronto has the
Starting point is 00:21:55 amonra saint brown hype gone too far no is ezekiel elliott on a major downswing uh i mean i don't know if i would call it a major downswing i I mean, I don't know if I would call it a major downswing. I feel like it's been trending in this direction for a while now. Yeah, still curious to see. He just needs a really good offense. He's not going to create
Starting point is 00:22:15 a good offense. He needs to be part of one. And if Dak can make them one, then I think he can be a lot better. Can Chris Godwin come back to full health? Yeah, I mean, I don't see why not. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Who's to say he isn't? All right, this is from Alfredo in Hops Country, USA. I don't know. We've got the best hops right here in New York, huh? Hops has got to be Vermont. No idea. Okay. All right, non-PPR league.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Heath should know. He said, okay, we're not Heath. No, we're not Heath. We're not Heath. I see what kind of Heath sigh I can get. How's this one? All right. It's not great.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Start three running backs this week. You got to sit one. Okay. Miles Sanders, Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, and Jamal Williams. That's a tough spot. What if I said I would sit Kamara out of those? Is that crazy? That is originally what I said.
Starting point is 00:23:22 I responded to this email and I said Kamara, but it's either him or Sanders. I'm definitely starting Cook and Williams. I can't sit Sanders. Yeah, I'll sit Kamara. This is from Levi. I need a running back, a wide receiver, and a flex. Alright, A.J. Dillon or Khalil Herbert? Oh, that's a big one too. David Montgomery
Starting point is 00:23:39 still, we don't know. He's a game time decision, but A.J. Dillon or Khalil Herbert? I think they'll probably tend to lean to be more conservative on Montgomery given another week. So I'll go Herbert there. Yeah. If Montgomery plays, go Dylan.
Starting point is 00:23:51 If Montgomery says go Herbert, we need a wide receiver. Mike Williams, Gabe Davis, Damian Harris. Oh, sorry. I didn't see Damian Harris there at the end. All right. Yeah. I think it's a receiver and a flex, right?
Starting point is 00:24:01 Mm-hmm. So I'll go Williams and Davis. Okay. This is, oh, I thought,. So I'll go Williams and Davis. Okay, this is... Oh, I thought... Okay, this is not... All right. Okay. I'm going to go with Khalil Herbert. Mike Williams is the wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Yeah. Khalil Herbert if Monty's out. Damian Harris is the running back if Montgomery is in. I would start Harris over Dillon. And if it is... Do I would start Harris over Dillon. And if it is... Do I want to go Gabe Davis? I think I'm going to go Dillon over Davis. I'm fine with that, actually, as I look back.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Especially because we don't know if it's PPR or not. If it's not PPR, then I could definitely go Dillon over Davis. This is from Rob. Tight end premium PPR flex pick one. Pat Fryermuth, Logan Thomas, Michael Thomas, Juju Smith-Schuster, Jeff Wilson. I think I'm going Fryermuth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Interesting. I like the... Whenever you have the rookie quarterback in making one of his first starts, tight end is a nice spot because it's easy to get to the tight end through your progressions. If things aren't going well, if you drop back,
Starting point is 00:25:07 the tight end is always your easy outlet. I feel like Friar Muth will be that. I think Friar Muth is going to have a big game this week. Okay. I would probably go with Jeff Wilson. It's not a popular pick, the one I'm making. I just have a feeling on Friar Muth. I don't think we're not agreeing a lot today.
Starting point is 00:25:23 We usually do, or do we not? Other than agreeing a lot today. No, we usually do. Or do we not? I mean, other than the old Oreo thing? Yeah, I think we usually do. Oh, on any take that's not football, we never agree. Douglas from Washington.
Starting point is 00:25:34 PPR League. Give up tomorrow Brady, which is a terrific autocorrect. Keenan Allen and Jeff Wilson. Give up Brady, Keenan Allen, and Jeff Wilson. Get Mah Keenan Allen and Jeff Wilson get Mahomes and Derrick Henry oh hell yeah yeah it's how the hell is
Starting point is 00:25:48 this even possible this deal from Ken in Florida flex who we flexing Jeff Wilson JK Dobbins or Chris Godwin and half PPR Godwin for me yeah I'll go Godwin from Chris
Starting point is 00:26:04 in Denver 12 team half PPR I'mwin for me. Yeah, I'll go Godwin. From Chris in Denver, 12 team half PPR. I'm starting Aaron Jones. I need two of three. James Robinson, Damian Pierce, and J.K. Dobbins. Damn, this is tough. I'm going to go Pierce and Robinson here. I just trust the volume so much more there.
Starting point is 00:26:20 I'm definitely going Robinson. It's close between Pierce and Dobbins, but I guess I'll go Pierce. From Justin, going with Pierce is contrary to everything I believe about fantasy. I don't want to take the Texans running back over the Ravens running back. I said that last week because I thought the Texans game script would be so bad
Starting point is 00:26:39 that Pierce wouldn't be able to have a good week for you, and I benched Pierce in some spots that I shouldn't have benched Pierce in. And I regret that. And I'm at the point now with Pierce where I have to start him every week because he's the only one getting touches in that back. He's the only one getting rushing attempts,
Starting point is 00:26:54 I should say, in that back. All right, I'm in. I'm in. This is from Justin. Okay, here's a weird format. Two point per reception. One point for 10 receiving yards, but two points for every 10 rushing yards.
Starting point is 00:27:08 And one point for a rushing first down. Jeez. This is like the type of league where if you ever had, like, they don't do, we don't see this as much anymore, but if you have a Christian McCaffrey type, the old Christian McCaffrey who's getting like 120 targets a year, he just wins you the league.
Starting point is 00:27:23 You don't even need anyone else starting almost. Yeah, no kidding. All right, who are you starting in this crazy format? Connor, Bateman, Lazard, DJ Moore, or Juju? It's only one. Final flex. I'm going to go with Lazard here. I really think Lazard is due for a massive week
Starting point is 00:27:43 against the Giants. Okay, and this is Dustin in Miami. Dear Colonel, Dave, Ronald, and King. This has got to be fast food. Dave from Wendy's, Ronald from McDonald's, Colonel
Starting point is 00:27:57 Sanders, and Burger King. That's good. Yeah. I'm not sure how I didn't get that. I really don't know i finally got one your favorite favorite fast food fries oh favorite fast food fries this is the one i have a very strong take on mcdonald's by far and away people are now saying wendy's is better than mcdonald's and there's like there's a huge debate on this how is that a pot no it's mcdonald's for sure if you want to throw in like the arby's curly fries which i don't really i've never really had arby's
Starting point is 00:28:24 i've had it once oh it's good really good yeah they're amazing if you want to throw in like the Arby's curly fries, which I don't really, I've never really had Arby's. I've had it once. Oh, it's good. It's really good. Yeah. They're amazing. If you want to throw that into the mix, if you count that,
Starting point is 00:28:29 sure. I'll throw that in and I'll probably say maybe it can be better than McDonald's, but you've traditional fries. It's McDonald's by far. You struck a nerve with Zach. Zach was, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:37 He's, he's mad at you for something. What, what's your pick, Zach? Your favorite fries. Probably going to go Chick-fil-A. I don't get them that often,
Starting point is 00:28:43 but they're much better than that. Oh, the Chick-fil-A fries are so bad. They're very overrated. Potatoey. They're not good. Yeah. I'm with Dan.
Starting point is 00:28:51 They're one of the worst version of waffle fries I've ever had, the Chick-fil-A waffle One of my favorite things about McDonald's fries is- I like waffle fries. Do that. I mean, look, Zach, I like them, but you got to season them a little bit. Bring your own seasoning. That's not how it works. One of my favorite things about McDonald's fries is the way your car smells when you get there.
Starting point is 00:29:07 I love it. They're so salty, and that's such a good thing. They add so much. They're salty, they are. Very healthy, Dan. Very good message for all the kids. I'm not a healthy person. I've made that clear.
Starting point is 00:29:18 I like cream in the Oreos and salt on my fries. Salt it up. All right, so I need one running back and a flex in non-PPR. We got Montgomery and Herbert, Raheem Mostert, Ramondre Stevenson, Chris Godwin, and Marquise Brown. Tough ones. Tough ones here. Non-PPR.
Starting point is 00:29:36 All right. So Khalil Herbert is an easy one for me if Montgomery is out. Well, let's rank our top two if Montgomery is in. We're assuming Montgomery plays, so the top two would be Godwin would be my flex, no matter. Actually, Marquise Brown, I love. Marquise Brown's my flex.
Starting point is 00:30:00 And then if Montgomery plays, I think I'm going with Ramondre Stevenson. Okay. I support that, except I like Godwin better than Marquise Brown, but I support that. I understand. This is a safer play for sure. All right.
Starting point is 00:30:13 We're going to take a break. When we come back, we'll read your Apple podcast questions. We'll get to your YouTube questions.

Starting point is 00:30:30 We did agree on the Tate's take. Oh, Tate's, yeah. We had a listener text saying, I've never heard of Tate's. I sent him word again, and now he's ordering it. If you're listening again, let us know your review on Tate's. Email me or Adam. I'm very excited to hear. Apparently, it's not like a thing all around the country. I felt
Starting point is 00:30:48 like that might be the case. Cause it's from like South Hampton, New York is where Tate's is from, but I thought it had reached like the goal. I thought it had reached at least nationwide. It should be, it should be a mainstream cookie. Definitely. Um, okay. By the way, Dan, I told Dave and Jamie on Friday, but I had rabbit paella last night in New York city. Whoa. Yeah. I have so many questions. Like I didn't even, first of all, start by saying, I thought if I had to guess, I would think you would never the type of person who would try rabbit paella. You're a hundred percent right. I had almost no choice. I had almost no choice. I was really, choice. I had almost no choice.
Starting point is 00:31:25 It just did not work out for me. I went, I saw my buddy at Comic-Con, and he lives in L.A. So we went out afterwards, and it was a bunch of his friends from college, and I knew them. I'd met them previously. But one of them, two of them like kind of from the city and or lived a lot a lot stayed a while in the city whatever whatever so they kind of knew the place so he said oh where are we going he said all right i know a perfect place so we went to hudson yard
Starting point is 00:31:52 you've been to hudson yards yes how'd you know it's fun it's cool right and i've never been there so we went to hudson yards but it was like way too swanky for me wait okay i wanted to go to some i wanted to go to like to an Irish bar that had a burger with cheddar yeah that's all I wanted I love that take right there by the way that's what I wanted that's what my buddy this is one of my best friends since I'm four years old that's what we do we used to go to Steak and Shake all the time
Starting point is 00:32:15 when we lived in the city you don't need fancy swanky exactly when we lived in the city when we were younger he and I and one other guy we would go to Boston Market in New York City on 23rd street it's a michael that's a real michael scott totally totally so we don't do the fighter things but we he took us to this tapas place little spain in in uh in the in hudson yards and it just didn't have a lot of good options and i'm walking around and i see chicken and rabbit paella there was some chicken in there it's's like, all right, I'll give it a shot.
Starting point is 00:32:46 $18. Never eating rabbit again. Never. Didn't like it at all. I've never tried rabbit. I don't plan to. What does it taste like? It's tough.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Is it gamey? Yeah, it's gamey. It's gamey. Gamey. You turned me off. If you say anything's gamey, I'm done immediately. Yeah, it's too gamey. Why does anyone, if anyone describes a meat as gamey, why would that meat still be like popularly sold? Like who too gamey why does anyone if anyone describes a meat as gamey why would that
Starting point is 00:33:05 meat still be like popularly sold like who wants gamey has anyone ever been like that's gamey and i like it it was real gamey tonight tougher people than us yeah but i would say let me tell you at one point at one point i went up to my my friends friends and i like them they're good guys it's like hey does anybody want to like go to a you know a place just get a burger or something and they were like no i'm good i'm just gonna finish my drink and like i'm not interested in that basically it's like i completely rejected completely rejected but that's terrible i mean it stinks for you but i i'm happy you made it through you ate the whole did you eat the whole thing no oh god no okay no you just threw it out yes you just went home hungry? That's devastating.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Yeah, I had some pasta when I got home. Yeah, it was bad. What? Oh, my God. That's terrible. All right, let's take a break here. When we come back,

Starting point is 00:34:34 This is from The Fantasy Baller. Give up Jonathan Taylor, get Miles Sanders and Cortland Sutton. Jonathan Taylor for Miles Sanders and Cortland Sutton. It's amazing we have to answer. We're at this point with Taylor, I guess, where we have to decide these things. Taylor has already been ruled like good to go for next week, which to me is a great sign that this was just a minor injury. They were trying not to, you know, in a short week, really give him a risk of re-injury.
Starting point is 00:34:57 So I would not do this trade as much as I like Miles Sanders. He has an injury history that is actually much bigger, or bigger is not the right word, but he has a more concerning injury history than Jonathan Taylor. I've already said my piece on Courtland Sudden, who I'm now down on rest of season after the Bulls injury. And so I wouldn't do this one. Dave from Hocus, New Jersey. There we go. We got a New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:35:20 We got a North Jersey in. Let's see. That was the best. Best in the country. Fiori's in Hoboken, New Jersey. Check it out. Best what? You ever been there, Adam? Best deli. Oh, no. You have to get a chance. When you get a chance, go on a Saturday to Fiore's in Hoboken, New Jersey and get
Starting point is 00:35:35 the special, which is roast beef, fresh mozz and the gravy. It's so good. Yeah, I knew you were going to like it. You wish you were. You are the biggest Italian wannabe. Oh, 100% the biggest Italian wannabe. One of my best friends, shout out Steve Milano, who I grew up with since I was really young. He always says
Starting point is 00:35:52 Schneier, for his entire life, has wished he was Italian. He's right. He's right. Do what I do. Marry an Italian girl. There you go. All right. Grade the trade. Give Jamal Williams and Terry McLaurin. Get Alvin Kamara and Drake London. Ooh, this
Starting point is 00:36:07 is an interesting one. So we're losing Williams and McLaurin. Oh, wait, never mind. I'm all in on this. This is a snap trade. For a second, I was like, I don't know, but no. Snap trade. Do it. Josh from a town in Central Florida. Oh, wait. You didn't get to the best part of this email. Rank these. Reese's cups.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Reese's sticks, which he considers highly underrated, Dave considers, and Reese's pieces. I have a pretty strong take on this. I'm not surprised. I don't think I've ever had Reese's sticks. I'm sorry to say that, but I would say definitely cups. Cups, sticks, pieces. 100% cups, sticks, pieces.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Sticks are underrated, but nothing as good as the cups. Pieces are terrible. Reese's pieces are trash candy. Listen, let me tell you a little something. You never know what's going to be a sponsor. So never have us take that strong, okay? You're so right. Never have us take that strong.
Starting point is 00:36:57 See, this is why he's the veteran and the host on the show, because he knows that kind of thing. Zach, find a way to get that out. I don't think they're terrible. I think they're good. They're peanut butter. Peanut butter M&Ms are just Reese's Pieces. Right, but you
Starting point is 00:37:10 need to have more of a peanut butter ratio. When the peanut butter to chocolate ratio is that thin from a peanut butter standpoint, it's not great. This makes no sense coming from the guy who wants all cream and no cookie. That's what I'm saying. More peanut butter I want. Oh, you want more peanut butter? Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's not enough peanut butter
Starting point is 00:37:25 in the pieces. Okay, then you probably like the peanut butter M&M's. Yeah, those are great. Pick three. They're like the same candy. No, they're not. They're slightly different. Oh my god. Does anyone think the Reese's Pieces and peanut butter M&M's are the same ratio of peanut butter? You get a nice chunk of peanut butter in a peanut butter M&M.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Pick three in PPR. Najee Harris, Miles Sanders, CEH, Damian Pierce, and James Robinson. Full PPR. This is a tough one. Imagine having running backs on your team, these five. I know I'm sitting Najee. The easy ones for me are start James Robinson and sit Najee Harris. I can't wait till Adi hears this because I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:38:03 He's the biggest Najee truther and you could find at this point. Um, and he's a Bengals fan, which I always find about. That's so weird. Uh, but I'll just say bench Najee for sure. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Who are the three you went with? So I didn't go with three yet. I James Robinson's a start. So it's two out of miles, Sanders, Clyde, Eberz, and Damien Pierce.
Starting point is 00:38:20 And I'm going to sit, I'm going to sit Damien Pierce. I am too. The receiving role is not there yet for him. Am I really going to sit himian Pierce. I am too. The receiving role is not there yet for him. Am I really going to sit him or Clyde? All right, I'll sit Pierce. Oh, I like Clyde a lot in this game. The Chiefs score so many points in these games against the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:38:35 All right, this is from E-U-Y-S-D-H-U-T-F-Y. I couldn't even try. It's not something I would want to try either. Alright, a running back, a wide receiver, and a flex. So we need Penny, Pierce, or Dobbins, and Khalil Herbert. One RB, one wide receiver,
Starting point is 00:38:56 one flex. Let's do an RB first. Penny, Pierce, Dobbins, Khalil Herbert. This is... Do we get PPR or not here? Do we know? No. So it's to me, it's Herbert.
Starting point is 00:39:08 If Montgomery's out and Pierce, if Montgomery plays. Yeah. I was going to say Pierce, if it's non PPR, definitely for me, but I can, I can go with Herbert then Pierce wide receiver,
Starting point is 00:39:16 Devante Smith, Mike Williams, Brandon Williams for me for sure. Yup. And then the flex is going to be penny Pierce Dobbins, Herbert Smith cooks, Cooks, basically. It's Cooks or Smith if it's full PPR for me. I want to start by saying that. Half PPR, I'm going to go with Cooks or Smith again. Non-PPR, I'm going to go with whoever you didn't go with, Pierce or Herbert. Well, I'm not going to go with Herbert if Montgomery plays. I'd go Dobbins in that case.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Right, right. Dobbins, correct. I just don't think Montgomery's going to end up playing this game, but he might. Me either. From Chucky Buckle, half PPR, two-player keeper league, would you make this trade? Give up CeeDee Lamb
Starting point is 00:39:55 and Naheem Hines and Jahan Dotson. Get Cortland Sutton, Ken Walker, Garrett Wilson, and a fourth round pick. I wish I had a better feel for what this keeper league, how this keeper league plays out to know what the value of a fourth round pick is.
Starting point is 00:40:13 But I'm just going to go by general keeper league value for a fourth round pick. Because you're going to like part of this trade is you're getting Walker and Wilson for next year. Right. And you have to assume we don't know the rounds they were drafting at him. But let's just assume maybe like seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth for both of them. Is that fair? Somewhere between seventh and tenth? Sure.
Starting point is 00:40:30 So I would, it's kind of like, where are you at with this team? Are you looking to rebuild right now? He's one in three. He's one in three. Okay. Yeah, I would do this trade for sure. All right, let's go to JB.
Starting point is 00:40:41 JB, would you trade away Damian Pierce for Keenan Allen? Damian Pierce for Keenan Allen? Damian Pierce for Keenan Allen. Yeah, I would. Would you? I don't, you know, I just don't know when he's coming back. I know I'm getting it. That's why I was such a long pause. I'm like scared whenever it's the whenever it's the those.
Starting point is 00:41:01 What do they call it? The soft tissue, soft tissue. Whenever it's the soft tissue injuries i always get super scared remember when you asked me if i knew what an in-breaking route was no i didn't ask you if you knew what an in-breaking right yes you did you challenged me like what's it in breaking around i don't know dan let me let me first have to figure out what play action means well to be fair you were like anti-fragility whoever uses this term totally different give me a break all right no that wasn't way that was like you were just anti-fragility whoever uses this term totally different give me a break all right
Starting point is 00:41:25 no that wasn't way that was like you were just you had just said in breaking around like six times and in half in 30 seconds and i was like god you really said that a lot and then you challenged i said it too much anyway um it's pretty obvious to me that keenan allen had a setback without being a doctor because he he left practice last week and i don't think he has practice at all this week. So yeah, they originally said that was only gonna be like a one week thing. Yeah. Good.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Yeah. So here we are in week five. All right. This is from D.A. Clark. Would you make this trade? Nick Chubb, Michael Thomas,
Starting point is 00:41:56 and either Najee Harris or Jeff Wilson for Jonathan Taylor, Christian Kirk and Miles Sanders. Yes. Yes. I would definitely do Wilson over Harris. Yeah, probably. But yes, Christian Kirk, and Miles Sanders. Yes. But I would definitely do Wilson over Harris. Yeah, probably. But yes, get the Taylor side. Mitchell is coming back at some point. At least Harris is going to
Starting point is 00:42:12 probably have that job all year, even though Warren does look better than him. Shout out, Adi. From Jay Karatnik. Give up Tyler Algier and T. Higgins. Get Jamar Chase
Starting point is 00:42:28 or Algier and DJ Moore for Chris Olave. I like the second one better, to be honest. I really like trading for Olave right now, if you can, before he really settles in
Starting point is 00:42:44 as a top 15 option, which I think he will be rest of season. Ooh, I have a team name. Oil of Olave. What was it? Oil of Olave. Oil of Olave. You know Oil of Olave?
Starting point is 00:42:56 I don't know that reference. What's it from? It's like a skin product or something. What? Oil of Olave. Is that like a known thing? I think so. I feel like it used to be a lot more popular.
Starting point is 00:43:08 I bet Zach Brooke has no idea what Oil of Olave is. He doesn't. Of course not. Oil of Olave is pretty brilliant. How about there's better ones for Olave, right? Like Live and Let Olave or something with that. That's terrible. No, that wasn't good.
Starting point is 00:43:26 That wasn't good. I was thinking of live and let it die, that Joseph would die. Give me some time. I'll come back next week with a better Olave. You still haven't told us Adi's terrible lineup decision. No, I have to research that. I have to go back to last year's league,
Starting point is 00:43:39 see what he did. He did something stupid, I remember. I'm going to try to remember. Does that take that long? You can't do that? I'll answer a couple questions. You can't do that? No, I don't like to be distracted during a podcast. I'm going to try to remember. Does that take that long? You can't do that? I'll answer a couple questions. You can't do that? No, I don't like to be distracted during a podcast.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I'm trying to give it my all. All right, from Shecky Z. We all want to know what Adi Ying is going to end up being. Shecky Z is 2-2, but he's the second highest scoring team in the league. He has Russell Wilson and Tua, so he wants a quarterback upgrade. He gives up Nick Chubb. Oh, boy, this is a big trade. Nick Chubb, Tyreek Hill, Christian Kirk, and Damian Harris.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Damn. He gets Josh Allen, Joe Mixon, Jamar Chase, and A.J. Dillon. So if you break it down, he goes from Tyreek to Chase, which we would say is an upgrade probably, but not necessarily. He goes from damian harris to aj dylan yeah maybe that's even downgrade downgrade okay he goes from nick chubb to joe mixon downgrade for me and then he goes from christian kirk to josh allen massive upgrade i like i like this trade because man my mindset has changed and he has russ and two as his qbs
Starting point is 00:44:44 too we don't know anything about we he might not play again this season i hope that's not the case I like this trade because, man, my mindset has changed. And he has Russ and Tua as his QBs, too. We don't know anything about. He might not play again this season. I hope that's not the case for him, but I also don't know. I just hope whatever's best for him long-term, he decides. But Russ, we've already described. We're both pretty down on. I don't know if you're as down.
Starting point is 00:44:58 A lave garden, that's a great thing. A lave garden is a very good thing. That's so good. But how did we not think of that? I love this trade because a lot of what we discussed on this podcast this year, my mindset on quarterback has changed a lot. There's a haves and have nots at this point at the quarterback position. And Josh Allen is just getting you so many guaranteed points every week. So I think he's by far and away the best asset in this trade.
Starting point is 00:45:16 So I like the deal. This is from Patrick. I sent out Clyde, Russell Wilson, and Njoku. Okay. And I got back Mark Andrews. Yeah. I like it. Yeah, it's good. It's real good. Alright, YouTube. It's your time to shine.
Starting point is 00:45:34 What do you got? Any questions at all? Alright, let's see. Who should I use to replace Pitts? Jawan Johnson or Logan Thomas or Taysom Hill or Will Disley? If Logan Thomas plays, I would go with Thomas. I agree. If he doesn't play, I'd go with Taysom Hill. Yeah, Taysom is the best chance
Starting point is 00:45:54 of a touchdown outside of that. Would you trade away in a super flex league? He has Dak Prescott, Geno Smith, and Jimmy Garoppolo. Would you trade away Kirk Cousins for Chris Olave? Yes. You would?
Starting point is 00:46:08 That means you have to start Gino or Jimmy G all year. No, because he's Dak. It's a super flex league. Oh, I totally messed this up. Yeah, you did. Yeah. No, I would not do it because it's super flex. All right.
Starting point is 00:46:28 How about... Yeah, you did i mean what i like it said super flex i said super flex you're right i did but you you took a lot you were really happy you were excited about me messing that one up you're i was all right uh cooks and pollard or dj moore and travis etn rest of season cooks and pollard or DJ Moore and Travis ETN rest of season? Cooks and Pollard. Yeah, but yes, but ETN such a bust. ETN,
Starting point is 00:46:56 Pollard or Hunt in full PPR this week. Hunt for sure. Yeah. And Godwin or Marquise Brown? This is a tough one because like he says, the matchup isn't great for Brown, but I love the Brown role right now, man. You look at the target volume, you look at where he's being utilized on the field
Starting point is 00:47:12 in the red zone as well. There's still a chance for him to get a big bomb at some point, which he hasn't done yet, and he will at some point with Kyler. I'm going Brown. Josh Palmer, Kareem Hunt, or Najee Harris in the flex? Hunt for me. Yeah, me too. Oh my God, Adi's going to hate that one.
Starting point is 00:47:32 That one's going to be Hunt over Najee Harris. Full PPR pick two, George Pickens, Garrett Wilson, Zeke, Dylan, and DJ Moore. Full PPR, so... Dylan is the only one I feel comfortable with. I know. Dylan's the only one I feel fully confident in. I'm going Dylan and Pickens. That is what I was going to say. Sorry, I'm yawning right now. How are you
Starting point is 00:47:54 yawning? It's not even the morning anymore. It hasn't been the morning since like 11 o'clock. How am I yawning? Not a lot of sleep these days, my man. I understand. Well, you just had a big night of sleep these days, my man. I understand. I was that. Well, you just had a big night out in the city eating rabbit. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:48:08 I had a lot of trouble with the game last night. I thought it was such a bad. Well, I got home. I didn't start watching the game until 10. Oh, you did a DVR. Oh,
Starting point is 00:48:16 I know it's, I can't DVR it. It's on Amazon prime. Oh, you're right. But there's this option. You can start that. You can start it from the beginning.
Starting point is 00:48:22 That's what I thought. And it didn't work. So I watched it live beginning in the third quarter, and then I went back and I watched the first half after the game ended, and then it was just a mess.
Starting point is 00:48:35 I don't know. I lost a chunk of the game. It bothered me. It wasn't the worst game to miss. That's what I heard. Yeah. Golfer Herbert this weekend's what I heard, yeah. Go for Herbert this weekend. Herbert. Herbert, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Deep dish or pan pizza? Very good question. I'm going to say deep dish. I'm not as anti-deep dish as you would expect from a smug northern New Jersey pizza snob. Because I've been to... And let me say this, though. Having said that, there is a clear-cut best deep dish pizza in Chicago and it's Luminati's.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I think Dave agrees with you on that. Yes, it is not any of your other choices. You're wrong. Luminati's is the best sauce. The best. It's the best. I'm walking here. Hey, I'm walking here.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Hey, this is Luminati's. I swear they imported it from New York. I guarantee it, man. Half the reason I like it is because you can say Luminati's. It's a very nice Italian name. You get to roll off the tongue. But it is actually the best tasting. So deep dish.
Starting point is 00:49:31 What is the difference between deep dish and pan? I haven't had pan pizza since I was a – I used to do book reports in third grade and get a pan pizza from Pizza Hut. And that's the problem. All I've really had pan pizza-wise is Pizza Hut. So it's not a great comparison when I'm comparing Luminati's versus Pizza Hut. Right, right all i've really had pan pizza wise is pizza hut so it's not a great like comparison when i'm comparing luminal nadis or pizza hut right right but pizza what is a pan it's pan pizza is like maybe half the thickness of a deep dish yeah i would say at least half the thing and it's not like yeah it's not as saucy and cheesy just kind of like doughy pan pizza okay start or sit two of this group cam Camara, Herbert, St. Brown,
Starting point is 00:50:05 Godwin, and London. Definitely London. If Montgomery plays, then it's easy and you sit Herbert. Yep. If St. Brown plays and he's fully cleared, I'm going St. Brown. No, we're sitting.
Starting point is 00:50:20 That's why you're sitting, Drake London. We're sitting London and Herbert if Montgomery plays. Or for me, you're not going to like this, but it's going to be Camara. I guess. It's just such a good matchup. Yeah, I can't sit Godwin or St. Brown. Me either.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Okay, I'm going to read a couple more here. Yeah, go for it. Olave, when you call me Big Papa. That's pretty good. I traded Juju for Zeke. Was that a good idea? I don't love it, but at the same time, Adam made a great point earlier.
Starting point is 00:50:52 We still have so much upside potential if Dak comes back and turns that back into a top-five offense, and then Zeke is getting a ton of scoring opportunities on a weekly basis, so I don't hate this. I think there's upside to Zeke. Your producer, Zach. Zach, get on here.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Ray Mysterio. Son, Dominic. I don't even know who that is. Yeah. Can you get a picture of Dominic Mysterio or Ray Mysterio's son, Dominic? I'm going to look this up right now. I'm very curious. Dominic Mysterio.
Starting point is 00:51:22 I used to love wrestling as a kid. I don't watch it anymore, but I used to love wrestling. Oh, my God. He does look like him. I don't look like this guy at all. Yes, you do. Let's go. Come on.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Bring a screenshot. Bring a picture. I'm sharing this. Yeah, share this screen. Not as much as I'm seeing more pictures. The first one, you looked a lot like him. Yeah, so here's another one. You look like him.
Starting point is 00:51:43 It's the haircut, think mostly let's see oh yeah i think so i think so yeah i can see it oh i can this looks like identical right now no not at all you've really swung dan from like identical not it not really oh yeah the more i see the more i see it you're on a roller coaster. One more question here. J.K. Dobbins, C.D. Lamb, Justin Herbert. Give all them up. That's Dobbins, Lamb, and Herbert for Jonathan Taylor and Stefan Diggs. And he still has Jalen Hurts.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Yeah. I would do that, I think. That's a good trade for both teams. Yeah, like it's a win for both. All right. Thanks, everybody. I don't like wins for both teams. Yeah, it's a win for both. All right. Thanks, everybody. I don't like wins for both teams. I only like wins where you crush your opponent.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Thanks for watching, everybody. Much appreciated. Thanks for listening. Hope you have a great weekend. For Dan Schneier, I'm Adam Azuz, the best. We'll talk to you on Sunday of Fantasy Football Today.
