It's just going to go the distance. Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. It's bailback time. What's going on? Recording here on Friday, September 19th. If you're listening, it is Saturday, September 20th. We welcome me to fantasy football today, presented by BetMGM, the sports book born in Vegas. Schneier, are you ready for this bag?

I'm ready for this bag, and I know you've got a concert to go to tonight in New York City. And I think, can I give you one piece of advice for this concert? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Do what I did last Friday after J-Rad at Pier 17. Okay. Head on down, get in an Uber or a taxi cab, whichever you prefer, and end your night with Katzelli. Because I hadn't had it in so long, man, and I just can't describe the listeners who haven't had it, who don't live in this area, it's better than your best approach shot in golf.

It's better than your best serve in tennis. When you bite into that pastrami, man, I have a picture, too, on my Twitter, if we want to throw it up just to show how good it looks. It's just, there's nothing like it. Like, a lot of people have done pastrami, hot pastrami, but no one does it like cats. So end your night at cats, enjoy it, then go home. And you're going to be so much happier that you got that reward after the show. Okay. A couple things.

Obviously, I can't do this because I have to get home to relieve the babysitter. You know, we have kids. Okay, fair. Number two, and I'm going to say this. And you are not going to react. We're going to move on right to the next topic. Disgusting. I've never been a cat's deli.

Okay. Oh, you. That's pain. Why? You live in New York. No reacting. Let's just, let's just. No reaction.

We need to move on. I can talk another 15 minutes in disgust. I throw the picture up. Throw the picture up, Josh. Let's see this. Oh, I don't like that. What is that? What do you mean?

What kind of bread do we have there? It's rye. I hate rye bread. Oh, God, do I hate rye bread? Oh, my God, dude. The bread is just a vessel for what's in between the bread. Unbelievable spicy brown mustard. And just even, you don't even need the mustard, but it's good.

Look at that. It's overloaded sandwiches falling out. Look at that bistrami. It's so good. It looks good. All right, news and notes. Emeka Abuka looks good for this week's game. against the Jets, he returned to practice.

Jaden Daniels mispracticed on Friday. So I think right now we have to assume it's going to be Mariota. Tucker Kraft missed practice. I am definitely not expecting Tucker Kraft. You make alternate plans. If you can't find anyone good off waivers, then Luke Musgrave is an option. I'd probably start him over the 49ers tight ends, for example. If he doesn't play, I do think it's a little bit of a boost for the wide receivers.

But it's just hard to say because they really spread the ball around. I guess it might get me to throw Golden in a lineup or something like that. But they're saying that Kraft should not need IR. But if they're even saying that, that just kind of makes me feel like it's very unlikely he's going to play on Sunday. So have alternate plans. And on Sunday, I guess we'll talk about the wide receivers. Who would be your favorite wide receiver on the Packers this week at Cleveland? It's setting up to be, and we discussed this at length on Beyond the Boxword this week, a big Dontavian week's week.

Now, let me preface that by saying, I apologize to all of you. who we've set up for big Dantavian, Dantavian Wicks weeks in the past. Last year, there were supposed to be a few of them. They never came. The Packers are a really difficult offense to figure out from a standpoint of where the ball is going. Jordan Love and Matt LaFleuror are not target one guy kind of play, you know, play callers and quarterback. So I don't want to get too over my, you know, what's the two over your skis? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go over your skis with it. But I do think Wix will be hopefully a good play. But, you know, it could be golden too. Golden separation score last week. I don't know if you saw this, but his separation war was best in the NFL. He was getting open. Love just missed him. So one of those two, I'd honestly be okay playing either.

Okay. I mean, I even think Romeo Dobbs is worth a look. Yeah, always. Let's see, Tyler Warren practice. Darren Waller's probably going to be back next week. They face the Jets on Monday night football. He was very close to playing in week three. And the left tackle that gets talked about way too much on this show,

Giants left tackle, Andrew Thomas, is going to be a game time decision for Sunday night against the Chiefs. We do have expected to play from what I've heard. Dable just said they're going to take it right up until game time. Yeah, but there's some more optimism behind the scenes. We'll see. Okay. Are you going to the game?

I will be going to the game. Obviously, night games are my only chance to go to games. Are you going? No, no. It's not a Sunday night. You would have told me if you were. Yeah, Sunday night, you know, we have the show. But they have what, they have a Thursday night or against the Eagles?

The Thursday night against the Eagles. Maybe we'll both go to that one. Yeah, maybe. Maybe we'll hang out. maybe if you look at that if you you could ditch me at the at a tailgate again and leave me with total strangers don't bring the ditch at the tailgate story i didn't ditch you i went away for i had a lot of people wanted to meet up i wanted to meet up with them too i went away left you my brother should have been a good experience for you my brother's a good guy and now you guys

have a mini rival you don't even really know about but he really wants to play it he doesn't like that i said i think you're better a little better than him at tennis i just played him last weekend at him i beat him six one six two six one we play three sets and he's getting better he's now committed. He's been golf his whole life. He's now committed. But I think you're better than him. I am better than he does not like that. His quote was the only reason Adam got four games off for you in the second set is because you were out of gas completely and you were not like that against me. And he's right. I wasn't like that against him. But what he's wrong about is that you made a lot of good shots in that second set. Your forehand was starting to hit winners and you were just playing a lot better. Okay. All right. So this is the last thing about the tennis match. I just want to say that the prize that Dan had for beating me was that he got to swap draft picks with me in the third. round of the FFT draft and he did so and he drafted and he drafted James Cook and he drafted I was going to take James Cook and of course I'm playing Dan this week

in that league and you got Henderson ooh yeah Trayvion I'd play 14 snaps a game Henderson now I'm kidding it's more than 14 but yeah all right let's get to some emails here by the way Jaby should be joining us shortly I'm gonna just check in with him I'll send a little text here but Jamie should be on soon emails fantasy football at CBSI.com please put actually you don't have to put anything in the subject line just make it obvious

that it's a fantasy football email and you can put fantasy cops in the subject line because they're coming up a little bit later but it's fantasy football at CBSI the letter I.com

this is from Chris Superflex start or sit we need to sit one Jameson Williams DJ Moore Jared Gough or Jake Browning let me start by saying

shout out producer Josh and shout out all our producers, but I'm so happy to get these questions now, like with an actual thing on the screen, Adam, because I'd always forget the names in question. That's how I think brain warped I am by the end of a work week,

and I know you feel the same at time. So if we're sitting one of these, so thank you there. If we're sitting one of these in a super flex, it's obviously not golf, especially six point passing TDs, but he does say Browning is his other option, so I guess he can go Browning or Gough there,

Adam, so we should probably answer that. I'm going to go Gough even like. I think, I think, you're right. Go ahead. Keep going to go ahead. Keep going to. I don't know. I'm going to sit DJ more. No, I'm going to sit Jameson Williams. Yeah. Sitting, whoa, big change. No, I like, even though I don't love golf outdoors, I do like the game script I should be able to get in the Lions versus Grave. And so I'm going to keep Goff and I'm

keep Jameson in. All right. I guess I'd start DJ Moore over Jameson Williams. I think I'm a little higher on DJ Moore. I just feel like he's kind of, he's do Jay Moore. 2J more. I don't get it. He's due. Yeah. Okay. This is from Jim.

Oh, man. That was bad. 12 team league. I have Jamar Chase and Chase Brown. Should I drop Aaron Rogers to pick up Jake Browning as my backup quarterback? I'd rather have Brown. I guess. Yeah, it's not so excited about it.

Caleb wants to know. This is T. Law and Gino are available. I take T. Oh, yeah. You do that, too. Should I start Jacori Kroski Merritt? against the Raiders or Ramandre Stevenson against the Steelers?

Hmm. My feeling is if Marriota plays, and you said at the beginning of the show that the expectation is he will, I think that's my expectation as well, they're going to do a lot of things to design to get the run game going, and it's going to be a good run game because I trust Cliff King's visibility to have a good run scheme. So I'm going to go with Bill.

Okay. The Steelers' run defense has been absolutely abysmal. It has. to Brees Hall, 100 yards, on only 13 carries to Ken Walker. Yeah, and a match-ups wise you might think at Stevenson, I'm going to go with Bill, though. I'm also going to go with cross-game.

I like him. I think, you know, we barely got to see him play last week, but he looked terrific against the Giants in week one. This is from Dave in Flint. Dave is 0-and-2. Doesn't know what to do. I guess I'll ask you.

PPR, I added that, not him. PPR flex. start Jerry Judy Cam Scataboo Dylan Samson or Joanne Johnson full PPR hmm

I think I'll go Judy there All right Jamie we got Jerry Judy Cam Scataboo Dylan Samson or Jawan Johnson Oh nice haircut Jamie

Thanks buddy I had no issues Yeah you got your You're locked in Like you That's the benefit To having one person cut your hair every time

Jawan Johnson Jamie, I was thinking about going to Juan Johnson. I just thought it was too crazy, but it might be the move. Did you part it in the middle, Jamie? No, and I told her the story, too. Did she say about that? Has anyone, she ever had to ask the customer what they want before you? Right?

Oh, yeah, for sure. And she did, though. She asked, how do you get it? I said, you know, a two on the sides and trim it on the top. It's a simple ass. But then at the end, how do you wear it? That's the problem. It should start with how do you wear your hair with the combed over.

but this is what it is, man. I think it's just go Floby for now one. There's no chance Dan knows what that is. There's no chance Adam knows what that is. But that's the thing, like, I will sit there and admit it. I was about to say, I don't know what that is. Dan's like, yep, totally, man. I did do that.

I got caught doing that. Let's see the Owen, too. I can't see it. Oh, you see that Owen, too? Yeah. How bad. It kind of comes in. Jamie, what's the problem I realize is what's going to happen when we get to like Owen 12?

I don't think I have the magnets. If I don't want to order some more. I have to order some more. Maybe I'll make these ones not white. What's a floby? Floby is a thing that it looked like a vacuum and it was like a razor. What? In what movie?

Real life. Oh. Both you can Google it right now. Google Floby. Okay. There's a question from Taylor. Let's see. Is it safe to drop RJ Harvey for players off the waiver wire or should I

Keep holding R.J. Harvey. Whoa, this thing looks weird, this floby. Keep holding it really does. It really does. How do you spell it? Keep holding R.J. Harvey. Yes. Unless it's like Bachel Tootin or Quintan-Jutkins,

because we saw that prior to last week, that ESPN leagues, Yahoo leagues, they may have been available. You know, so if those types of players were not drafted, then you might be able to buy some time with Harvey on your waiver wire, but, you know, we're talking about very, very small sample sizes of situations. I would not cut Harvey by any means. He's the perfect back-end bench guy for the second half of the season. You could not possibly what? Jamie, you could not possibly think that I said 1215 start time for the bailback.

You said that this morning. I said 12.10. I said 12 o'clock will start at 1210. You said 1215. I don't think so. It is on the air. It was not on the air. It was after the show was done.

I'll have to go back to the date. No, I said 12.10. There's no way I said 12.15. Okay, but now we know why Jamie was late. I guess I'll take some responsibility for that. But don't call it late then if you're the reason why it happened. But it wasn't really me. I mean, I'm going to jump on the grenade for Jamie, but I think it was Jamie.

This is from Paul. You know what Adam likes to do? If there was ever a show that I was doing and it was... Comment from the chat. He said 12. Not everybody there. You know what I would have said. I would have texted me before starting, not after starting.

That's a good point, too. Why didn't you text him? We're about to get down. Jamie is wrong about every angle of this. I did say it on the air and I said 1210. Got a lot of confirmation in the chat. You still started without me. This is a theme for you.

That's because Dan said he's in a rush. Dan said he's in a rush. Don't blame it on me now. You want to get your concert and get your dance. How about this, Dan? Week one, Sunday of week one, Thomas sends us the schedule of when we're doing the wrap-up show. My son's birthday.

I make sure that I'm going to be there. For what time we're starting on the schedule? Adam says we're starting early. Okay, that was a miscommunication. And it wasn't his son's birthday. His son's birthday was the next day. I can't believe you would lie about your son. Adam would have been more of a dictator than I ever imagined he would be.

All right, we're going to take a break, try to get things back on track. Every show should get night. We'll be right back on. fantasy football today with amex platinum access to exclusive amex pre-sale tickets can score you a spot track side so being a fan for life turns into the trip of a lifetime that's the powerful backing of amex pre-sale tickets for future events subject to availability and vary by race terms and conditions apply learn more at amex.ca.com slash y annex i got some fun questions coming up i got some starter

sits obviously we got the fantasy cops let's read this fun one here from paul uh okay so the FFT subplots are fantastic. Would you all please spend seven to ten minutes? No, not that long, on how this all came to where it is today. I have this impression that you four, I guess, no offense, probably talking about me, Dave, Jamie, and Heath, are responsible for the entire CBS sports podcast family. Not too sure if that's true. You all are how I discovered podcasts. Anyway, it would be very entertaining from your perspective, for example, who came up with the idea and when, whose mom's basement did it starting, getting CBS to sign on, going national, whatever the best parts, maybe have Dan interview you all, but don't let him get distracted, otherwise, fridge magnets, sandwiches,

New Jersey's in the center of the universe, et cetera. That would be fun. We should do a show on that, the origins of the podcast and all the insider notes that I'm sure people would love, FFD lore, if you will. I don't know the origins of the podcast. I came to- He started before you. Yeah, so I started in 2009 at CBSSports.com, and it was, I think, a year old at that point.

Do you remember what it was called, Jamie? I don't know if we had like a NAMH fantasy football. It was a fantasy football playbook. Oh, that's what the show was. Yeah, and the baseball show was a fantasy baseball hit and run or fantasy hit and run or something. I still think it's crazy that you and Heath used to be on baseball, Adam. I will always find that crazy. Oh, crazy.

I hosted the first baseball podcast. Did you really? Oh, my God. I hosted it with Emac and Ganoz, yeah. I don't think I knew that. So, yeah, what was it like? Was just you and Dave or you Dave and Emac? We used to have Westwood One in our old building.

So if you're familiar with like NFL games, Westwood One usually broadcast NFL games, I think they still do. I'm not sure. Yeah, they still do. They broadcast the NCAA tournament, you know, so it's a very popular radio network. and they were run out of our building. So there was a full-fledged radio studio in our building, our old building. So Dave and I would go in there and the radio producer was kind enough to set it up for us, whatever.

And we would just talk like this, you know, no real structure, you know, outside of maybe going game by game. And then Adam came in and it was like mind-blowing because he was, as you know him now, like he was so detail-oriented. He was trying to boost numbers. He was, you know, really made the show. much more professional. I don't think he was scheduled to host it. I think it just kind of worked out that way that you were the most natural person to host it. I'm thinking. Yeah, I think so. When was that? Around what year? Around what year, Jamie? 2009. 2009. Because I remember when I was first at the company in 2019, Adam, I don't know if you remember this, but I was in Florida for something, and you were there.

I don't know why you were there, but we were watching the Daniel Jones debut in the preseason against the Bengals. I don't know if you remember this. And I wasn't with the fantasy team. the time i was with the uh nfl team at the time i remember talking you about it and and you and i was like who are you and i didn't even know anything about you because i didn't know fift at the time and it was just it was just you were you were uh i'm trying to remember if you were excited or not about the jones bay i think you were and you got me excited about it so just so much has changed the years i barely knew you at the time yeah so we i guess i've really grown a lot obviously it's funny that they started out in a in a legit radio studio and now we did in our

our houses and apartments and whatnot. We've had a lot of cast, a lot of characters throughout, throughout the time. But yeah, I mean, I think the, it was a pretty successful show because it was one of the first podcast. And honestly, I think every podcaster, every sports podcaster really owes a thank you to ESPN because they started, they did a lot of podcasts early. Because I graduated college in 2006 and I did not know what a podcast was. that it really was like an unknown thing.

And then the beginning of sports podcast was just people would put interviews, make MP3s of like interviews with coaches and stuff like that and make them downloadable. And that was a podcast. And then eventually I started doing shows, things, things like that. I can't tell you how many people in our industry that I met have said, we've done our show because of what you guys did. Yeah, we were one of the originals for sure. And I think that's helped to scroll this audience, which is great.

But yeah, that's kind of the origin of it. It was like it started before me. And then I was just so lucky to come in and they let me host it. And I don't remember how that happened. I remember the first time hosting it was, I think it was just me and Dave, if I recall. And he was and he, before we started, he goes, ask me about any player he want. And I was blown away because back then, you know, I was a big football fan, but I didn't know like the fourth wide receiver on every team or something.

like that. You know what I mean? And yeah, I mean, I didn't have, I don't have any idea how to host a fantasy football. It was different back then. You could get into this industry in a very different way. Like my introduction to this industry was simply finding, I saw a tweet from Chris Wesleying, RIP, amazing man, who was working with Rotorold time. He's just like, the Rotorold Twitter account is so ridiculously under man, found his email, said, I'll work it for free. And that's how I got into all of this. So it's just like, I did that for a little while. And so how I got into this, I would have never gotten into this working a nine to five job in the city that I hated and I never would I just like I'll do this for free met a bunch of people through

there leverage it into different spots but like you had that opportunity back then and like you said you didn't really have the depth of knowledge you have now and once you start working in this industry you start to learn a lot more too oh yeah for sure and the last thing I'll say is that I was sort of the podcast manager for a while at CBS at a lower level I used to it was different I used to edit and post podcasts for like the Ion College basketball guys, you know, or, Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

And I, one point. It wasn't as big business back then podcast. That's the thing. It took a while for people to realize, whoa, we got something here. It was, we, we kind of cool that we have really witnessed the evolution of podcasting. And now we have so many podcasts and they're all so good. We have such great hosts, such great talent. It's really cool.

Like, just check out all them. Go to CBSports.com slash podcast. I think the evolution of your career, Adam, has been the, the most fun to watch just because you really made a tough life decision that, that, you know, thankfully our CEO at the time loved our show and loved you so much that he was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're going to make this work. Do you know this, Dan? No, I don't know this.

I don't know where he's doing. I quit. I quit my job. To be the post of CBS football today? No, I was so I was working in Fort Lauderdale doing this job. hosting baseball and football podcast doing a lot of video stuff too on the side essentially no no just part of my job and then i'm no adam was like our main video host yeah okay and then i met my wife who lived in new york we dated long distance for about a year and then i moved and i was like

i'm quitting my job oh oh yeah i i don't know if it was before i think it was before i got up to new York. The CEO, Jamie's alluding to at the time, he's like, let's just figure out, because people did not do remote podcasting at that point. At the time, yeah. I was like, let's see if we can do it remote. And so I did it in New York and I was able to keep the job. Thank God. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, that was, that was 10 years ago or something like that. Wow. So it was wild. Oh, it's fun, man. Yeah. Thank goodness. We ended up, you're like, well, we won't give you seven to 10 minutes. We ended up going for like 15 minutes probably on this point i see in the comments people want it we should do a lore episode at some point i'll do the hosting because it's all goes on you guys you guys are

the lore guys so i want to hear about it all i want to hear about heath's transition into the show like all of it so one day we'll do it it's an offseason show obviously but at some point in the off season i'd i didn't i didn't i didn't really care for dan when i first met him because i was what i was intimidated because i had a hard time accepting i had a hard time accepting that someone could know so much more about the Giants than me. You were an expert. I always thought I was this huge fan. And when I started talking to it, I was like, whoa, different breed.

Someone called it a sickness, and they'd probably be right. All right, this one's from Andrew. By the way, Jamie, thank you for those kind words. I appreciate that, even though you were very late today. And blamed it on you, but it probably was your fault. I was texting with Jim Lanzone to tell him thank you again. Yeah, that was the CEO. Hampton, Henderson, Tutton, Harvey, Charbonnet, pick one.

Hampton, Henderson, Tootin, Harvey Charbonnet. I would go with... I want to say Charbonnet, but I'm so concerned about his health right now. Yeah, it can't be sharp. I think I'm going Hampton. I'm debating. Maybe, no, it's too crazy. I think I'm actually, in PPR right now, the guy have ranked the highest as Henderson.

Henderson, just because you'll get the... catches? I think, well, first off, will Stevenson do that again? And what we saw in week one was a competitive game. Not that the game last week wasn't competitive, but they were chasing points. And it wouldn't shock me if they're chasing points against Steelers. Yeah, I think I like that. By the way, sorry, Jaden Daniels is out. Marcus Marieto will start. Oh, wow, ruled out. From Michael. You saw Luca, right? I saw he's practicing, yeah. Who? Who? Abuka. Abuka.

Abuka. All right. From Michael, 10-team league, who would you pick up? He needs this guy for week five because Swift and Jalen Warren are on a buy. Trey Benson, R.J. Harvey, R.J. Harvey, Kharvey, K. K.m. Hunt. Harvey for me. I don't think you could look at any of these guys and say, I'm guaranteed to get a starter for week five.

So I would probably go with the guy who's the most upside, which would be Harvey. And maybe by then he is getting work or J.K. Dobbins is injured. but you mean look Trey Benson who knows what could happen any of these guys could be in feature roles I'll go Harvey there's so much upside long term yeah I totally agree

all right football fans let's bring some playoff energy to our bets okay bring that playoff energy to your pro football bets all season long with the BEDMGM pro football boost pack you're going to get three ways to boost your payout on a winning bet so you log into your bet MGM account

to receive your boost pack. Then you place any pro football bet and apply one of the tokens. Make sure to bet up to the minimum stake odds and legs specified on the token. And if your boosted bet hits, you'll score a bigger payout

from opening kickoffs to game winning drives. This pro football boost pack is your ticket to bigger winnings. All right. This is from Joe. He says, grade the trade. He says, hey, Leo, Frank,

Morty, and Estelle. oh these have got to be parents in Seinfeld yes they do have to be that all right ppr i gave up jalen waddle and jalen warren for ashton gentie yeah i mean i i like that idea um how could you not it's a huge win on paper let me be clear i want to make the counter argument slightly it's a huge win on paper and it's not as big a win in the current reality if you've watched and jiggum i went into us in depth this week the Raiders' offensive line is generating absolutely no push in the run game. They are one of the two or three or four offensive lines like the Giants that just simply

cannot generate push at all at the point of contact. So for Genti to get his points, right now, it's not easy, in my mind at least. Like just the reality of situation, I know on paper it seems amazing. Reality situation is how is he going to get his points? It's either going to be short touchdowns, I think. The occasional play that's blocked up well, there haven't been many at all so far for the Raiders. It's been one or two on tape in the first. weeks or receiving work. The receiving work doesn't look to be there. And it looks like from what

Chip Kelly said this week, they're still going to plan to rotate backs. He said, I want to have Gentie fresh for the end of the season. The long plays, maybe they come one or two. And then the red zone touchdowns, the offense hasn't been what we hoped it would be. It's been closer to what Vegas projected, which is six fewest points on the season. I think Vegas was at. So I don't know if the reality is as good as the on paper, but it's obviously something I would do, Waddle and Warren for All right, this is from Elio, 12 team PPR. Would you rather trade DeAndre Swift for Sam LaPorteur or James Connor for Tucker Kraft? So we have news on Kraft.

He's not going to practice today, according to Matt LaFleure. Sounds like he's not going to play. I would guess that if you can, I'm sorry, he's trying to trade Connor to get craft. So if you're going to have to make one of these trades It would probably be for Leporta Yeah I would never trade Connor for Kraft I guess I would do Swift for Loporta

This was a better question before The Kraft injury I'd be a little hesitant to make that trade With Kraft's knee injury All right from John Dear Pete Taco Ruxin and Andre I'm sorry

I'm not gonna say what it is But Dan's just gonna laugh at this I just got a text from somebody in our league that we don't like the guillotine I was going to say it but I was going to say that my bad oh no never mind I'm going to do this way oh okay

no I screwed it off unbelievable why did I do that why did I do that all right question from John I have Trayvion Henderson I have Trayvon Henderson R.J Harvey Cam Scataboo Bajal Tudin and Zach Charbonnet

um oh wait I think I already read this one right? This looks like I don't know I screwed this up I'm sorry

I screwed up Oh no no no He needs to start two in PPR Okay There it is Trayvian Harvey

Scatibu Tutin Charbonnet Pick two Uh If Charbonnet If Charbonnet's fine I would go

Charbonnet and Henderson If Charbonne is not play I would go Henderson and Scataboo I'll go Tudin

and Henners All right. So I got it. So this needs to be addressed. So Mark in the chat says, best team name in a while. King Tutin. Come on. I don't get it. So, oh, oh, King Tutton come on. Yeah, because like King Tut. And the full name is Tutton come on or something like that. Yeah, that's the thing. Like it's not Tut. It's Toot. So I don't think this is a good team name. This one's even better, Vladimir Tutton. That one I think is kind of funny and decent. It's not great. you don't really want it as your team name, but like, I'd like that better. I mean, it is better than King Tutton come on.

I don't do team names well, Adam, and I know that about myself, and I'm just willing to admit it. I'm not very good at it, but two things I wanted to do this week. One, I'm so disappointed in our fantasy football today league. I, for some reason, don't have the option of changing my team name. I go to change it and it says, like, you don't have access to this. So can you change that at some point? Because, because, I want to do it so much. because I have drafted in that league, Chris Olave.

So I was going for Oil Valape with a two sign, just the letter to be OILAVA 2. That's what I want so bad to be my team name, but also quick team name to run by you. I don't do them often in my, and actually, no, I shouldn't even say this. It's a copy. Never mind. I copied off of some another name that I saw. Damn it. Okay.

All right. Next question's from Mario. Great story, Dan. I have Seguan Barclay, and I made it Bobby Barclah. Who's that? Oh, that's so horrible. Terrible. Go away.

Brano's character. All right. Probably bark a lot. All right, right, right. Here we go. Mario, I could trade Trayvion Henderson and Nico Collins for Brian Thomas Jr. and Chase Brown. Would you do that? You're giving up the best player.

Who's the best player? Who's the best player in that, in your mind? Yeah, okay. I thought you said you're getting the best one. I think I would do it. I'm very, very. much lower on Chase Brown rest of the year with Browning and yeah

all right but I mean I still think that's a trade you should make though just because you're getting Thomas is not that far off obviously they both have struggled and Chase Brown should still be better than Trayvon Henderson yeah I don't hate it I just don't think I'd do it okay last email here and then we'll do fantasy cops Apple podcasts and YouTube would you trade

having your favorite fantasy team finish dead last this year in exchange for the giants beating the holy crap out of the chiefs so you could lord it over smug heath wow so this is a loaded question yeah i'm not going to address the smug heath part he's is the man and i love he no he the only thing i went back and forth with jake in this email he only thinks he's smug about the chiefs and he and that's a very good point he is very smug about the chiefs and even more smug about how much he thinks the giants are a joke

at least during the daniel joke he really held that over us so i i do respect that to some extent but as a as a human being and a co-worker he is actually awesome But that said, and I'm glad that he clarified the email. With that said, no, I would not do this. And I know that could be, you know, use as a slight against me and my Giants fanhood. But the Giants are an 0-and-2 team, and they don't currently have Super Bowl aspirations. So for me to sacrifice a week three regular season win to have my favorite and most important fantasy team, my home league team, finish dead last and have to do the last Blake punishment and all of that, heck, no, I'm not doing that. And if you can't respect that decision, that's okay.

This is an easy note for me. Interesting. It's a yes for me because I don't have any bad last place. I don't have any bad last place punishments. So that helps. You still be willing in the league you want to win the most to be dead last. It's such a bad feeling. Yeah, and I've never finished last, but I got to tell you, this is an important update.

I've got some real contenders this year. I've got. Oh, boy. I've got some. I've got my FFT Open League is Hampton. Jane, Gentie, Hockinson, Judy, I am screwed in that league. I've got a real update to make now, too, then, a little early season brag and a victory lap that you should never take in week two. Across the board, check a look at all the CBS leagues we're both in.

I'm two and oh, and the worst thing I am is one in the auction league, and that one I still have third or fourth most points in. So you guys got problems this year. Jamie, take a look. I think I beat you twice last week, Jamie, if I'm not mistaken, I had two matchups against you, one of both. Adam, I beat you every time these days. All right. Let's take a break. We'll do the fantasy cops. I'm going to take a look at your roster because now I know a player's getting injured with that karma.

Absolutely. So true. We'll be right back on fantasy football today.

He says from Theo. We have someone in our league that picked up a tight end three days in a row to have those players be put on waivers. So his opponent didn't have a tight end option to pick up. because he had Brock Bowers last week. Is this a good strategy or just plain unsportsman-like, even though it's within the rules to add-drop players? It's not unsportsman-like.

It's a knock on the commissioner because there is a setting you can do in the league so the players don't immediately go back to waivers if they're cut within a certain amount of time frame. So I think it's just bad commission. I don't know that setting, honestly, in CBS leagues. I don't think that's a setting for us either. Maybe not in CBS.

I'm thinking Yahoo. So, yeah, maybe. If you read, I was just going to give this one, to Jamie real quick. So go ahead, Jamie. I think it's a bad sportsmanship, yeah. You can't do it. There's actually, if you're in the FFT Open, I don't know if anybody bothered reading the rules. We have a rule about this. You cannot add players just to drop them and put them on waivers. That is grounds to be kicked out of the league.

All right. He's going to police that. The commissioner. I have to, okay, okay. Well, if it happens, you let me know and we'll take care of it. But no one in the FFT opens will do that. Hopefully they won't do that because I ain't going to be policing those rosters. You just got to tell me if it's happening. That's all. I know. And you're expecting me to be able to police that with 26 leagues this year.

You get the emails. This person added this player. You get the emails. I don't get those emails. Do you think I have this notification set up for all 2016? Well, I get them. All right. This is from Greg.

Week 12 of last year, I traded Josh Allen to the number one team in the league for Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Waddle. Josh Allen was on a buy in week 12, and my team would have been eliminated from playoff contention with a loss. So it was a must win. for me. The manager of the number two team in the league expressed his displeasure with the trade. Since I had a very small chance of making the playoffs, he believed that I should not be making a trade that improves the number one team. Ultimately, the number one team beat the

number two team in the playoffs, and Josh Allen was the difference maker. The manager of the number two team is still bitter about this loss and blames me for losing the championship. After an oh and two start to the 2025 season, he has declared that he will trade his best players, and he will trade, to my competitors if his team is unlikely to make the playoffs. Was it poor etiquette for me to trade Allen for Mahomes and Waddle?

Was the manager of the number two team robbed of a championship or should he move on and focus on improving his winless team? He should move on and focus on improving his winless team. It's not like the commissioner sought out for to collude here.

He thought it was a good trade at the time to get Mahomes and Waddle. He needed Waddle probably at that point or he needed a receiver at that point. So I don't like this. I mean, look, get being bitter about things in fantasy. Trust me, we all are, and we all have those moments,

and there's nothing wrong with that. But this is not a battle to pick. This is not where I would consider a good time to be bitter about something. No, it's fine. Everything that happened in Week 12 is fine, you know? You need to win. If you're not eliminated, if you are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, you should not make trades.

If you're not mathematically eliminated, do what you want. Yep. All right. This is from no name. the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Or not so innocent, L.O.L. I have been in a league with Steve, we will say, for at least three years.

And he has done this to me at least two times in different years. We'll make a trade. Someone that he traded to me has a great week. And then he will ask the league to veto the trade to get his players back. And then eventually it gets vetoed. I know. I no longer trade with Steve,

but someone else has this year. The trade was for, let's say, with Eric, or I guess I should say, let's say, ah, crap, it was with Eric to receive Ladd-McConkey, Devante Smith, and Steve would receive A.J. Brown and Stefan Diggs. Okay, so Eric gets McConkey and Devante Smith, and Steve gets A.J. Brown and Stefan Diggs. It didn't take long for Steve to say that he made a mistake

and asked everyone to veto his trade because he has too many leagues. Steve said, I'm driving and I'm in too many leagues this year. I thought I was getting Smith and McConkey. If you all don't mind, veto that, please. Honest mistake, I got A.J. Brown and Diggs in a league, and I thought that's who I was trading

and not getting when I accepted L.O.L. Then later, he said, I'm in five leagues and I'm a truck driver. I was driving when I got the trade sent to me, and honestly, I thought I was getting lad. I've been trying to trade away A.J. Brown only league I have him. It was an honest mistake.

I noticed right after I hit Except it wasn't no buyer's remorse. Well, the trade got vetoed. I don't know whether to believe him or not due to the fact that he has done this to me personally two years in a row in the past. And the team is going to turn it into Yahoo if it doesn't get fixed. I don't know what that means. There's money on the line. I have a good team and I have a chance to win at all.

There are quite a few people in this league that know each other and with someone that came in to fill a spot as far as no one knows him. I don't know what to do. I know the commissioner, and he's taking Steve's side. I meshes him and told him what Steve has done to me in the past, and this isn't the first time Steve has done this. Maybe I'm just venting, but I wanted your opinion on the matter. I need to start with a couple things.

First of all, great adjustment there, Adam, to get your Erick's in on time. It was a rocky start, but you started to really hit your stride. Secondly, just great to know that our truck drivers of America are just checking their phones, looking at trades. I'm always scared when I see a drive. on the road i'm always like don't you know what i mean like when i'm in the lane next to a truck i never feel comfortable and i hope i'm not alone and i also like i'm always worried like sometimes they have those like long blinkers on and i don't know if they're trying to make this the merge into

another lane i'm like dude make your decision and like i don't like i don't trust that he sees me in that right in that lane next to him and if he decides to creep over i'm screwed like there's nowhere to go so please don't look at your phone driving a truck and create trades and accept trades this is where i want to start this but obviously the big issue here is that We want to trust this guy that he made a mistake. But the reality is, this happened over and over again. And so I think that I would not give him the benefit of the doubt. First of all, if a truck driver has his left blinker light on, he is trying to get into the left lane.

That is how he's sitting there. I think it's like a light that blinks. I'm not sold that that's their left blinker. You know what I'm talking about on the back right of a truck or the back left of a truck. Yeah, that's a blinker. That's when they're trying to get to the other lane. And they don't. sometimes they sit in that other lane for another like four or five miles all right we love truck

drivers thank you for listening to our show no i'm not knocking truck drivers at all i don't i'm not saying bad on truck drivers of america this specific truck driver it's checking his phone i don't know if that's the best nobody car driver truck driver you shouldn't be checking your phone while you're that's what all i'm saying that's all i'm saying i think in the case of of this situation you have to leave it up to the commissioner and hopefully that you if if you are presenting enough evidence that Steve has done this in the past, then he can make a fair decision if this should be veto or not. But I mean, we've all been in situations where we've made mistakes because of playing in multiple leagues. It happens. It's unfortunate. You know, you'd like to take

him on his word. But I mean, I'm dealing with a situation right now where, you know, somebody made a bad ad drop by mistake. You know, so you hit the wrong button, you know, it happens. So I hope that it's not, I hope that it is not in some mistake. Um, but yeah, let, let, let the commissioner make the decision. Listen, I'm telling you, there's a blinking light on the back. It's, they don't always make that. They're not always merging. I've seen them go four or five miles without merging.

Well, four or five, but they, they're very cautious. Yeah, they have to have space to move. Yeah, they're very cautious. They have to put the blinker on to make you, let make you aware that they're going to respect that. But my point being is if I'm going to, if I'm still not going to feel great and comfortable about being around that, if they need to wait for space. Like, I assume they're good at understanding when the space will come.

Yeah. Fine. But I'm in a little thing. I'm a little scared doing it. I'm just saying. No, I usually try to pass them. Same. I don't want to be anywhere near.

Not when they're blinkers on. Not when they're blinkers on. I just try to, you know, because, you know, I'm not trying to criticize truck drivers. It's scary. The trucks are huge. I'm seeing it in the comments.

The trucks are huge. Absolutely torched. Yeah, no, you should be. All right. All right, thank you for your fantasy cops questions. I'm going to take a look at Apple podcast questions here. But first, I have to open Apple podcast.

So what are you guys up to this? weekend uh let's see working all day sunday okay saturday would be what do you do for work baseball game basketball game you coach in practice do you coach all of those or just the baseball going from baseball game for the seven year old to a baseball practice for the 13 year old to a basketball you're coaching both of those or no so i got roped into coaching basketball because went to the first practice and the coach was like nice guy you know thankfully he will he volunteered But he's like, yeah, I don't know anything about basketball. So I was already registered to be an assistant coach for my seven-year-old.

And I said, hey, I can help out if you need. And sure enough, now coaching the team. So two baseball things on Saturday and one basketball game on Saturday. I will be at the Rose playing a big match, the Schneier's versus two of our friends. Golf? Golf, the Rose, yeah. It's down in Old Bridge, I think, somewhere in South Jersey. Big match, though.

We've been talking a lot of trash. on the text chain, so we'll see what happens. All right, good luck. And I'm coming off my PR, so that's usually a bad sign. Usually don't follow up a PR with anything good. A PR, oh gosh. Jamie, do you know what a PR is? Personal record.

Bang, see, it's not this crazy thing to Jamie. It's pretty obvious. It's a big thing in the golf world, I'm telling you. Dan is a big abbreviator. It's all I'm saying. I am. I'll admit that. Yeah.

It's not a bad thing. You didn't know what FBI was in tennis. Everyone knows what FBI is. I've only heard two people say it. Okay. Okay. So this Apple podcast question comes from Andrew. Full PPR, grade the trade, 10 team league.

I gave up Pickens and Pitman for Earths and O'Dunzee. Interesting. Pickens and Pittman for Earths and O'Donzee. I think the best player in that trade may ultimately be O'Donzee, so I'm kind of intrigued by this trade. There's some really, really strong numbers that are d'usay, at least through the first two weeks, has been a clear-cut wide receiver one in that offense. But then, like, in a much

bigger role than anyone could have expected. So I'm okay buying it. It's still a little bit of a buy high there, but I'm, I'm okay with it. Piggins and Pittman for Odunz and who? Ertz. Ertz. Basically a throw-in. Me, if you need a tight end, he'll be a throw-in. And we have a start-sid

question here, too. So I need a flex. I need a wide receiver and a flex. O-Dunze. McClureen, Tetaroa, McMillan, Chuba Hubbard. Panthers? Yeah. Well, Chubbard for sure, but O'Dunzee versus McMillan is interesting. Where do you go there?

I might go, I go O'Donzee. O'Donzee's funny, man. There's so many wide receivers that got drafted in his range that had so much buzz. And he really didn't. And he's off to a great start. Okay. next question is from

CEO Rex grade the trade PPR one quarterback I give up Nick Chub and Debo Sam oh my gosh this is what bothers

me when I when I bring up a trade and people are like that never never happen in my league you're an idiot you play with a bunch of nobs

I see these trades Nick Chubb and Debo Samuel what voice was that Who was the boy supposed to be there? I don't know. For Brian Thomas Jr. and Daniel Jones. Chub and Diba. I guess it's not as crazy as I'm making it out to be.

I'm not that crazy. Chub and Samuel for Brian Thomas Jr. and Daniel Jones. Yeah, obviously the Brian Thomas Jr. side should win. But right now it's been... Yeah. I take my voice back. I take the voice back. I was just thinking of this, though, with the Eric and Steve trade.

So I made a trade offer yesterday of Jalen Warren and Tyrone Tracy. I'm sorry, Juan Johnson and Tyrone Tracy to the Mark Andrews manager that also has Cam Scadaboo for Jalen Warren and Ramandre Stevenson. So they have no tight end right now and some running back sitting on their bench. They said, I'm going to counter that and send me a counteroffer. The counteroffer was Jalen Warren for Tyrone Tracy. this is a friend of mine I read it and I'm like

this doesn't seem right so I texted him and I said are you sure this is the trade do you want he goes oh no I hit the wrong button I meant Joanne Johnson or so it does happen yeah it definitely does happen for the earlier case we had

I want to give the person the benefit out but but the listener told us was that it's happened multiple times I agree but that's what I'm saying like it you know You know, especially like, like we're, we're so in tune with these things. You're going to look at a trade.

You're probably going to sit, think about it for, you know, maybe a minute, maybe 10 minutes, maybe 20 minutes, maybe a day. You know, you never know how long you're going to analyze and overanalyze it because that's what we do. We spend too much time ingrained in this. For the casual fan that could be driving, could be at a red light, let's just be safe and say that they're a red light. They click on their app and they hit accept encounter or reject encounter or accept by mistake. Oh, man, I didn't mean to do that. well, or they hit, they hit, they hit accept. Probably should have waited until you parked.

They hit accept. They parked their car. They're going in the grocery store. There is, you know, nice of a guy as Dan is, and they're putting the cart back in the, in the store. And you hit, you hit accept by mistake because as, as Life with Fife says, fat fingering, right? You hit except by mistake. And you don't think about it. You don't look at it because you don't care.

It's just something you're doing for fun. And then all of a sudden you go back and you're like, oh, bleep, I didn't mean to accept that. I meant to reject it. I hit the wrong button. Yeah. I agree with you. I want to give the benefit of the down in general and fantasy when these things happen. And I do as a commissioner. I just, we need to make sure it's not a repeat offender. It was my only point there.

And one final thing on that, some of you just brought up, did anyone, did either of you guys see? Oh, go ahead. What about the trade? Which I would rather have, the Brian Thomas Jr. side? Oh, no, I wouldn't. I'm not in on Thomas Jr. I don't, I don't believe in it. But you're in on Chubb and Debo? You're right. I'm in on Debo for sure. Like, I honestly think he's the best place. in that trade. Oh, come on. You're taking Debo over Brian Thomas Jr. rest of season?

I know it's crazy. I know it's crazy. I probably should go there. If you want to go that route, I would have to take Brian Thomas Jr. over Debo, Sam. I know I shouldn't. Okay, I guess I will take Brian Thomas Jr. I don't feel confident at all in that. Did you guys see by any chance the video of my new hero? He's a guy working at, I think it was a Walmart, and a lady who was shopping, she left her cart. And so he just leaves it there like a jerk. And so he takes the cart. and puts it behind her car. She gets out of the car, starts yelling at him. And what are you doing?

What are you doing? He's like, go take the car back to the star. Like, why won't you take the car back? She gives him all trouble. I don't have time for this. Like, you know, by now, like if she didn't argue with the guy, she would have already returned and got back to her car. So then she gets back on her, she starts yelling at him.

She moves the thing. She moves it out of the way. He gets, she gets back in her car. He then takes it, puts it back behind the car, but puts it over, like topples it over. So it's just, I love this guy. If you're out there and you're listening, you're my hero. Yeah, we never talked about the Phillies fan fighting for the baseball. I don't know that we need to.

Oh, I'm big on let the kids have the balls. Of course, but, you know, the thing is, like, he didn't take it for her. Please don't defend her. Please don't defend her. No, no, no, I'm not at all, actually. But he didn't take it from her at all. I don't know why she was acting like she had it. It was totally up for grabs.

It was fair game. Because I think if he, okay, how about this? It was up for grabs. If he didn't have a kid, what side would you be on? Like, that ball's up for grabs. lady versus like, you know, normal 40-something-year-old guy fighting for the ball. Is it fair game or does he have to defer to the lady there? I would think in the case of a ball bouncing around the seats,

whoever grabs it first, grabs it first. It's just unfortunate. Now he could be a gentleman and give it to her if he wanted to. Yeah. But the kid has to come first. Let me ask you this question, Adam. What if he went with his buddies and his kid was at home and he wanted to bring home his kid? Right.

That's a question, yeah. Yeah, no, honestly, I think there are no rules. Kids come first, no matter what. Kids come first, but that ball is anyone's, you know, up for grabs. Now, if they both grabbed at the same time and he rips it out of her hand, yeah, that'd be bad. That'd be bad. Yeah, yeah.

Like, I saw the reverse video of this. A guy tracked down a ball. There was a young girl trying to get it. He beat her to the ball. And then he just does the awesome thing and turns around to hands it right to her. And she was happy as well in that moment. So I think no matter what, as long as you're referring to the kids, that's what it's really for. All right.

Of course, it's Dan and a truck driver, then no. Let's, uh, I'm not anything against drugger. I love drug drivers. I just said this one guy shouldn't be on his phone driving a truck. Let, no one should be on the phone while they're driving. Yeah, no one should be on the phone in the car. Like, that's all I was saying. Uh, there was a question in here that I wanted to get to that guy is Dan's hero?

Yeah, that guy's my hero. Because he stood up to these people who just, they're self, selfish people leaving their cards there. Okay, here's the question. We're going to start our YouTube questions now from Doug. Do you think your collective love affair with rookie running backs this all? season will lead many of your followers to an oh and three start uh yes it's our fault that they are as bad as they are um listen it if you want to go that route i'm sure there are a lot of players you know is it our fault that you know nico collins and brian thomas junior and drake london

i mean there's a lot of players that are struggling right now so it was uh it was not the greatest situation of you know how it started i think for the the two first round picks you know, there was reasons to buy into them. I know for me, I was, I was aggressive with Trayvon Henderson and R.J. Harvey. So I have a little regret about Harvey mostly, not so much Henderson yet. But in the case of Gentie and Hampton, like, you saw what could potentially happen and just hasn't happened yet. It's still very much good. I don't feel bad about Genty and Hampton.

I think that it made sense to draft them where they were being. being drafted. I do feel bad about the other guys. And I've seen a lot of stuff on Twitter of fantasy analysts almost mocking fantasy football players for being upset about these slow starts for rookies. And I think that anyone who's doing that is really being pretty dismissive and not taking into account. Like, this is important for people. I, I feel bad that my advice, because I said on the running back preview, like, if you don't walk away of your draft with two rookie running backs, you're making a mistake. I said something like that. And it's, you know, it might end up being good advice. I hope it does. I think I should

have talked about it in Judkins. Yeah, but still, like you're not winning your league yet. You could still be O and two. Although, you know, you spent obviously earlier capital on other running backs, whatever. I think it could still work out for these rookie running backs. We have a great rookie running back class. I think it could still work out for sure. But I do feel bad for the people who or oh and two, and I'm one of them. In several leagues, this is killing my fantasy teams. Like, I'm with you, and I should have done a better job as a host of pointing out the slow starts that rookie running backs often get.

No, you did. Don't, don't do that. You did. I don't think I did it enough. You were just high on the players. It looked like they were going to have. You very much brought up second round running backs and how slow it's been and the case-by-case situation of we got lucky with Marlon Mac getting hurt and what that meant for Jonathan

Taylor and some of these other guys and Gibbs Selvin Gordon and stuff like that like there's numerous examples you gave so I wouldn't I wouldn't worry about that at all again I think it's you hope that you're not the first and foremost hope that you're not

owing to because of that because you you went Gentie and Hampton or Gentian Henderson or Hampton you know like those are the first two running best you have and you're stuck right now so hopefully that's the case that you're not open to but in the situation of like three weeks from now they may be the best running backs in their team by a lot yeah

yeah it's it's only week too this could be a big week you know things could change that in a second future like also maybe be considerate of how many you're you're drafting and what capital using to draft them and take it case by case like i felt the whole offseason like we were like the we were a little bit too high on henderson i have henderson in no leagues and i just think it not enough was made too much was made of how he looked increasingly not enough was made to mcdaniels and his sister is a play call I consider these types of things moving forward. But I was wrong on all the other ones as well. Like I would have taken Harvey at the right spot.

I only have him one league, but I took him in that one league. And Hampton one league as well, but I wanted him and didn't get him. Gentie, I always felt like it was a little drafted a little too high. There was no way I was taking him over some of the receivers in that range. I have two that I regret, which was taking, not advice, leagues myself. Yeah. One was, it's a keeper league, so take that into account. But I took Gentie over McCaffrey.

with the thought of having Gentie long-term, and this may be McCaffrey's last year. Oh, you did the right thing. I think that's fine, yeah. And then our IDP league where I went sort of a zero-rb route, and Harvey's my first running back. Yep. That's the Harvey, the biggest miss has been Harvey, I think, so far,

to be honest, because a lot of people felt like in the range they were drafting him, all right, I'm least going to get RB2 out of that. But look, these rookies, it could be a second. second half of the, like, don't give up on them. We've had a lot of questions they, like, should I add, I saw Harvey available in a couple of leagues. He's available in a league. There's no better guy to have on your bench.

All right. Let's fire through some questions here, and Dan has to jump off in a second. Would you trade Sutton and Ken Walker for Jonathan Taylor in a heartbeat? I guess, yeah, especially if you have wide receiver depth. Start two. Lab McConkey, James Connor, J.K. Dobbins, Wondale Robinson. Ladden Connor for me I would too

Flex DJ Moore Jalen Warren or Ricky Pearsall PPR Um might be pretty back there I would go with Warren Patriots run defense has not been great I can't go DJ more

I take the back their run defense actually good but they're they're uh they're gonna get more and more involved sounds like by what we're safest yeah it's tough Would you trade Keenan Allen and Pacheco for A.J. Brown? Yes.

Oh, yeah. 100%. Even though I like Keenan rest of the year, Pacheco to me is just potentially done. Daniel Jones or Marietta? This week. Even in matchup, Jones. I think, yeah, Jones still. Would you trade Jacori-Krosky merit for George Pickens?

Yes. Yes. Then he only has Gentie, Dobbins, Tracy, and Judkins. Is that good enough depth? That's fine for me. Judkins, I think, is going to be a good play rest of year. I think you can get away with that, yes. Devante Smith or Keenan Allen, O'Mary and Hampton, or Quinshan Judkins?

I'd go Keenan Allen and Hampton. I'll go Keenan and... Judkins. By the way... All right. That's all for me. Guys, have a great weekend. You too.

Adam, enjoy your concert. Thank you. on. And Dallas Goddard did practice today so I don't think it was in full. Yeah,

he was I think limited but I'm not sure. One more quick thing I do love all truck drivers of America. Thank you. Oh, man.

Let's see. Sit 1 in half PPR. Swift, Chuba Hubbard, Jalen Warren or Ashton Genty? Swift.

You're starting Warren over Swift? Yes. Okay, this is Tutin. Basal Tutin is available, but my only drop options are Judy, Harvey, or Pearsall. I would probably drop Judy. Troy Franklin or Trayvionn-Henderson

or Quintan Judkins for Flex in full PPR. Ride their hot hand. Go with Franklin. Start two. I'll just, I think I'll end on this. Henderson, Sutton, Franklin, Tyler Warren. Sutton and Warren Okay
