It's just going to go the distance. Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. What's up, everybody? It's mailbag time. We're feeling good. It's Friday afternoon. Welcome to fantasy football today presented by Bed-MGM, the sports book born in Vegas.

I'm Adam Azer bringing that weekend energy. Dan Schneier's bringing that part your hair in the middle energy. And Jamie Eisenberg is bringing that. I just made an awesome trade energy. What a great feeling to make a trade. You know, it's just the most fun part of football. I got to start making more trades. Is it more satisfying when you accept a great trade or you make a great trade?

What do you mean, propose it and then it gets accepted? You propose the trade and somebody accepts it, like, oh, I really, you know, concocted this great deal. or is it better like you just like open your inbox? You're like, whoa, okay, yeah, this is a no-brainer. I think the first one's better. The second one, you're like second-guessing when you first see. You're like, whoa, do I do it? Is this as good as I think it should be?

So you get that feeling. The other one, you're like, yes, I did it. Yeah. Am I missing something here? Is there an injury? Yeah, that's how I feel when I get a good offer. And Jamie made a very fair trade, I think, but it's just fun to do it. And I'm hoping maybe this weekend I'll spend some time, make some trade offers here.

Just give you the news and notes real quick. Chuba Hubbard practice today on Friday. So I'm assuming he'll be listed as questionable, but it's good that he practiced. They're at New England. Buffalo is going to be without Ed Oliver and Matt Milano in their front seven against New Orleans. And then bigger news.

In Washington, Jaden Daniels and Terry McLaurin mispractice, Chikori Kroski Merritt, was on the practice field. That's all I saw. He was on the practice field and wasn't doing much at the moment. So I don't have any update for you on Bill Kroski Merritt, but at least he was out on the practice field on Friday.

Derek Stingley missed practice on Friday. He may not play against Tennessee, and Baker Mayfield was throwing at practice. He's got this biceps injury. I'm sure he'll be fine. Good to go for the Eagles game. Jamie, congratulations on your trade. Let's talk about it.

Go ahead. You're feeling good? So I mentioned on the Friday morning show, which I'm wearing the same shirt, but mentioned on the Friday morning show that I was offered, I was offered Ricky Piersall for Joe.

Jaylen Warren in a 14 team, it's our podcast, so you 14 team league, where I wasn't thrilled about that offer just because of Ricky Pierce's potential for losing opportunities, let's say, when everybody's healthy there in San Francisco. So that manager must be listened to the show, rescinded the offer, and then countered with Omarian Hampton, I'm sorry, with Justin Jefferson for Omari and Hampton and Troy Franklin. And you would be getting Jefferson and giving us. Hampton and Troy Franklin. Yes.

So this was one week after being offered Malik Neighbors for T. Higgins and Jordan Mason. Yeah. So in a 14-team league, which I share with our very generous friend, Todd Rohnz, we now have running back wide receiver rooms of Bejohn Robinson, Breece Hall, and Jalen Warren, and Malik Neighbors, Justin Jefferson, and George Pickens.

Yeah, it's very good. It's funny because, you know, getting neighbors in Jefferson obviously seems great. Straight up, though, Franklin is a bit of a throw in a 14-team league, but that's fine. He could be useful. Hampton for Jefferson, do you guys think that's lopsided? Not as lopsided as the other tree. I think with the injury to Najee Harris, there's possibility and potential for Hampton to be a very good player in fantasy at the level of Jefferson. The issue is Greg Roman has hinted at, and the chargers have hinted at using other players in that back.

I don't think this is a dire situation where they feel like no one else can get on the field. Camani Vidal, I think we'll get on the field immediately. The other issue is the chargers are almost dead last in yards created from a run blocking standpoint with no sure signs of getting any better in that regard. Oh, I'll give you a short sign. What's that? Turn around. Look at your refrigerator. Yeah, that's not a bad point.

But, um, should be good. By the way, you look a little like crooked. I'll try to fix that. I don't know what that is. No, leave it. Leave it. it's fine. But you do look a little crooked. Also, I think is that that Giants football that you have on the counter? Is that like, is that a foam football? Yes. Yeah, I have the same football.

You know, it's sad? My son plays with it. That's like his football. And you, a 30-something-year-old man, you have the foam job. Yeah, well, it's been hanging around for years and I just use it in the background, trying my best to do my best here with the background. It's not great. That's better than it was at time. With that said, on the trade front like there is also concern on the other end with jefferson obviously with cars and wends potentially playing who knows how long given kevin o'connell's comments um and that also may be the best option for him on the other trade like i feel like t higgins is in a bad spot moving forward with this situation as is and then it's like higgins and what was it mason for yes

yeah i i think the other one's more lopsided to me all right but it's just interesting that we went very heavy on running back and now we have traded them for very prominent assets and so it um it it's not going to like you know challenge at least from you not change like any draft philosophy but it uh it has benefited you know i don't know size of league players we're playing with et cetera but it has definitely benefited us to draft five running backs and turn two of them into malik neighbors and justice jeffs yeah but neighbors has had one good game so far and it was against dallas and jefferson hasn't even scored 15 fantasy points They're a very run-heavy team.

He hasn't played a game with Jordan Addison yet. I do wonder if neighbors in Jefferson, I think you should have made the trades. They're good, but I wonder if they're going to return first-round value. Who is first-round value at this point? Yeah, who is returning first-out value at this point? But getting a workhorse running back is really, really valuable. Hampton's probably going to be that.

Mason, I don't know. Yes, yes. I was going to hit this button when he started talking about Kamani-Vidal. Khamani-Vidal is not going to be the reason. why Amari and Hampton is not awesome. I didn't say that, but I just think he's going to eat a little bit into the row. I don't think we're looking at like a Capri-type work share, that workload. I don't even want that from my running backs.

It's too much. It's too much. It's taking too many hits. I want them to get spelled a little bit. He's still going to have a great workload, Hampton. Okay, let's move on to. A-L-I-T-L-T-L-E-B-I-T. What? No, no idea.

want them to get spelled a little bit. So I spelled a little bit. Very good. I like that. All right, Sunday we've got a dad joke if I've ever heard one. Yeah. Oh,

I made a great dad joke. So I have a driveway that's kind of slopy. And we have a basketball hoop out there. So when my son plays, it ball rolls into the woods, essentially. And you got to worry about ticks. We have deer all over our lawn.

So we wanted to put a fence up. on the side of the driveway. We had a couple of fence companies come and give us quotes or whatever. So just about an hour ago, the lady calls me. She's like, hey, we're just going to see what you thought of the proposal. And I was like, yeah, you know, it's not, it's pretty expensive and it's not really a need right now. So I was like, I'm on the fence. And I said, you probably get that a lot.

She started laughing. She's like, no, actually we know it. So I thought it was pretty awesome. Yeah, thank you. All right, Sunday, the last time I'm reminding you, 8.30 a.m. to 9.30 a.m. YouTube.

We got emails at Fantasy Football at CBSI.com. Apple podcast questions. Here's the deal with the Apple podcast questions. First of all, you got to leave a five-star review. You got to tell people why you like the show. Then you can ask your question. You should try to get these published by, I would say Tuesday or Wednesday,

because they take a little while to show up in Apple Podcast. And don't ask any questions about Thursday games because I don't even look until Friday. I read them on a show that air Saturday. So just a couple of words there on the Apple Podcast. We also have fantasy cops and YouTube. Email from Matthew. Matthew makes a good point here.

There are a lot of struggling wide receivers right now, and there's a trend that I'm noticing. The wide receivers that are struggling all have young quarterbacks, and the wide receivers that are doing great have veteran quarterbacks. There are some exceptions to this. But Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison, he wrote this earlier in the week, Terry McLaurin, DJ Moore, Drake London, Brian Thomas Jr., all young quarterbacks. Is that really fair to say,

with that group. Like I was expecting you to say Justin Jefferson and... Yeah, he couldn't even... Riddley, like... I mean, all of Nico Collins best production in his career

has come as Central. Nico Collins is struggling, though. Tyler Murray's in like year seven right now. Yeah, like these are a young... That one definitely can't count. Oh, yeah, I don't know why he put Marvin in there. That was a bad call. But C.D. Lamb's been great.

Amon Ross St. Brown's been great. The Rams wide receivers have been great. Jackson Smith and Jigba has been great. Quentin Johnston, Keenan Allen, with Herbert have been great. It is an interesting point here. It is. It's not the best example of quarterbacks, though. So you're not buying this?

If he was to say, Drake London is struggling. Justin Jefferson is struggling. Calvin Ridley is struggling. Like, these are young quarterbacks. Okay, fine. So forget about the examples he gave because some of them are working. Some of them are. And just the overall point, young quarterbacks maybe, you know,

maybe are leading to these wide receiver struggles. I mean, it certainly could, you know, and in the case of some of these guys, there's coordinator changes and coaching changes. I don't know if the sample size at this point is too small, you know, three games in. There's, I think, reasons for certain situations for several of these guys. You know, is Romo Dunezay struggling? Correct. You're right. He's not. Not DJ Morris. Someone said Nico Colley, and he mentioned DJ Morris.

said Nico Collins was great last week. He was lucky. I'm happy about it, obviously, but he had a $50. Yeah, that was not great. Busted coverage. But that's not, I mean, everything Nico Collins has done for us

as an elite tier fantasy player has been with C. District. It's true. Okay. Well, food for thought. Okay, from Henry. Subject, mailbag question from the magnets on Dan's Fridge. I'm in a full PPR league.

It can only start three of the following four. Malik Neighbors, Teteroa McMillin, Ricky Pearsall, and Ameca-A-A-A-Buca. Who are you sitting? Give me names again, I'm sorry. Malik Neighbors, Teteroa, McMillan, Ricky Pearsall, a meca-A-A-A-A-A-Bucca. And starting, how many? Sit-1. So it's between McMillan and Pearsall, for me.

I would sit McMillan with Christian Gonzalez coming back. I think that's easily the play with Gonzalez back, but I will say this. I would not be expecting a big game at a Malik neighbor. against the strutters defense. Right. And he even said that in the email. I said, am I crazy to bench neighbors? It's not.

Yeah. But I think the matchup that Jamie brought up is difficult enough that you had, like, it plays a bigger factor. I am wondering if now that they have Carlton Davis, who is on the Patriots, not the Lions. Yeah. If they do use Gonzalez to shadow or if they feel like, hey, we've got two cornerbacks, maybe we don't need to now, especially in Gonzalez's first game back. This is an email from Mateo.

I know Dan is going to have very strong feelings about this. Oh, boy. A few years ago, I started an ice cream cookie sandwich business, and this year, it's really started to grow. My question is this. If you were to create an ice cream cookie sandwich, what combination of cookie and ice cream would you choose? For example, one of my more popular combinations is an Oreo cookie with Oreo ice cream

called the Oreo overload. That's a great one to start. I would probably be going in the direction of, so my favorite ice cream is coffee ice cream, so I'm kind of trying to figure out. Oh, my gosh. That has got to be the worst favorite. It's repulsive. Out of your mind, it's the clear best.

It's, who doesn't, yeah, coffee ice cream is a poll. Do a poll, Adam, do a poll quickly. Who doesn't, Claire, can you do a YouTube poll? Coffee ice cream is so good. Coffee ice cream, the word, here's your choices, Claire. Is coffee ice cream, the worst ice cream ever, the worst ice cream of all time, or see results? I can't believe people are out on coffee ice cream. Coffee ice cream is amazing.

What are we talking about here? That's a great comment from Brozy Bros. I never knew coffee ice cream was, was considered bad. Wow. Coffee ice cream is Dan a 75-year-old spiritually? Well, to be fair, like it's my mom's favorite ice cream. I guess that's how I got into it in the first place. But coffee ice cream is amazing tasting.

Like, I don't know. This is nothing to do with me. There are some people agreeing with you. I'm just stunned at this. I never knew coffee ice cream was considered bad. But I would say coffee ice cream with like a mocha type taste to it. So you mix in like a chocolate cookie and coffee ice cream. But again, like maybe like a smores cookie.

That's what I'm thinking. Smoors cookie with coffee ice cream. But, you know, I just, I'm actually taken back by how bad people think. this coffee ice cream is no there are a lot of people agreeing with you yeah it's like done by it so i would go with a with i think a thin mint cookie right like a big thin mint but what ice cream do we put in i was thinking like mint chocolate ice cream you could do that but the the thin i think thin mint chocolate it would be too much would be a mint overload i think it'd be a little too much maybe just vanilla maybe just vanilla ice cream with the thin mint with the thin mint cookie just so jeff snook knows in

the comments i'm not backtracking i stand by this coffee ice cream is the best ice cream. But anything with like chocolate peanut butter is obviously a good mix. Dan, by the way, Dave almost topped your, uh, W.H. Space. Oh, no. What did he wear? He was wearing a t-shirt with his jacket open over it. Okay. The t-shirt says speed power, but the S was covered. Oh, my God. I got to check out the episode now. This is this morning's episode on YouTube.

Okay. All right. So, so far, Early, early poll results, only 35 votes. How do you feel about coffee ice cream? Great, 37%. Good, 9%. So 46% find it greater good. I think I'm doing good here. Meh, 23%.

And bad, 31%. So so far, great. I think I'm winning this. Great is winning, but it's very split. I don't understand. I've never heard of this anti-coffee ice cream thing. I just thought it was the best. Just drink coffee and have good ice cream.

There you go. who doesn't love coffee well i've never had coffee you know this let's take a break let's take a break we'll come back with more of your emails at fantasy football at cbsi.com 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-sail tickets for future events subject to availability and varied by race turns and conditions apply learn more at mx.c.c.c.m.c.

All right, let's see the YouTube poll here. As we welcome me back to fantasy football today to our mailbag show. I'm just killing time before the poll results come up. Is coffee, ice cream, the best flavor? Yes, Dan is right.

No, Dan is crazy. 68% say no, Dan is crazy. At least we can agree on that. This email is from Kyle. 12-team PPR. I have Derek Henry, Ashton Genti, and Jordan Mason. Would you trade Jordan Mason for Travian-Henderson? Yes.

Would I trade Jordan Mason? for Trevion Henderson in PBR? Yeah. I don't know if I would. I said no, actually. When I replied to the email, I was surprised at that quick yes there from Shon. Yeah, and this is definitely surprising,

considering Jacob and I spent a lot of time this week going over how good things are for Jordan Mason. We ranked the offensive lines on Beyond the Box score this week. Check that out. We talked about success rate, yards before contact, yards created a lot of good metrics that I think could lead to you, figuring out which offensive lines provide the best runway for running back's rest of season.

And Vikings were in the top three, but I just have concerns about, one, that offense's overall efficiency once McCarthy comes back and two, Aaron Jones return. On the flip side of that, Trayvon Henders, I feel like is trending in the opposite direction of he will be getting more and more touches and obviously has the reception upside for PPR. The one thing would be is, A, how long is Aaron Jones out and B, what happens to Aaron Jones when he comes back? Like Jordan Mason clearly had the best game of a running back for the Vikings this season. and before Aaron Jones left,

there was a pretty clear split of who's the rushing downs guy and maybe still Mason getting some opportunities in the passing game, while Jones clearly getting work in the rushing game. But I still think that offense has still another gear to get to. I hope the Patriots offense does. Yeah, that's fair. The Vikings offense, I think, until Kevin O'Connell figures out who's going to be his quarterback and how that's going to operate,

there's still so much room to grow. All right. Coffee ice cream is the best from J-Dog, little Juan J-Dog. Liking coffee ice cream is like Dennis Robben being your favorite basketball player. As a fellow New Jersey and Dan does not represent the majority.

Oh, come on, Popensky. Very good representative. And how many alterations does Adam make to a drink at Starbucks? I don't do. I go to a hot chocolate if I go, So you do no caffeine in your dot? You don't have a caffeine, Adam, or you do something else for caffeine? No caffeine.

Wow, that's so crazy. I don't know how you could live life without caffeine. Do you, Jamie, do you have caffeine? Oh, I, too much soda. Okay, okay. Soda? Oh, Jamie. Oh, no, no, no.

I think I've had this guy. I forgot you were a big soda guy, Jamie. All right. Not a big soda, just too much of it. This is from Matt. It says, hey, Cam, Phil, Jay and Mitch. Come on. Oh, say that again.

Jim, Phil, Jay and Mitch. And Gloria and Claire and Haley and who else? Jay, it's modern family. Modern family characters. I need to sit one of these in PPR. Ricky Piersall.

Michael, Michael, Pittman. Teterola McMillan and Chuba Hubbard. Pierceall, Pittman, McMillan, McMillan, Hubbard. Well, first let's find out what Hubbard and McMillan status is. Hopefully we'll get the answers before the show is over. It's PPR.

I probably would sit. It's between the Panthers for me. I might lean towards sitting McMillan. Because of the matchup possibly. I think I would sit Hubbard. From Mike, need a wide receiver and a flex from this group. DJ Moore, J. Mo, Ayo Manor, Tuton, Golden, Godwin. who looks like trending in the right direction

to play according to the latest report, and that's about one minute ago, by the way. So again, we need one wide receiver. Let's pick a receiver, DJ Moore, Jameson, William, I.O. Manor, Golden or Godwin? I'm going to take a flyer on Golden. Okay. And then a flex, all of those players,

plus Bejel Tootin. I go Golden, Io Manor. I'll agree for continuity. I'd probably go more, but just with the matchup and hope that the Raider's secondary is as bad as it advertised. But look, Iommander's been solid. By the way, it looks like the Packers

are going to be down another offensive lineman. Anthony Belton is not going on. I'm telling you, they're just doing it to make it fair. We've got one from Jacob. Need some trade targets for Rishie Rice on one or two or oh and three teams. One and two or oh and three teams. And I just want to Delante.

Is that the way to pronounce it? It just went off the screen. made the comment of Christian Gonzalez is not locking down Tet McMillan. I don't want to come across him for Dan does either. We're not saying to outright sit at McMondon. We're getting a lot of good choices here about other players. So just tough, tough calls. I don't think that you should be running to sit,

Tedrole of McMillan because Gonzalez is playing, as Adam alluded to, no guarantee he's going to shadow him. And there's still, you know, just depends on who you have on your team. All right, good call. Rishie Rice trade targets for him if you're 1 and 2 or 0 and 3. Anybody that's playing well now that's sitting, you know, like Emeka, Bucca would be somebody,

I'd be looking at it, they're on somebody's bench, Tederell Macmillan, Brian Thomas, Jr. So I think the easiest way to answer this question is this. What do you expect from Rishie Rice when he's back in week seven? A lot. That's why I don't think I would move Rishie Rice right now. Yeah, but if you're 0 and 3 and 1 and 2, by the time he comes back, your fantasy season may be done. So you have to make those tough calls.

What are you getting for him at this point? Well, that's the thing. It's like you want to be getting somebody who for the next three to four weeks is going to be a must-start wide receiver for you and the chance to be as good as Rice or potentially a little bit less, not too much less, when Rice is back. So I'll give you the example of real-life trade. Same thing with CD-Land at this point because we don't know how long is going to be out.

So Keith made the trade in our Super Flex League. He traded CD-Lam for Brian Thomas Jr. He still believes that Brian Thomas Jr. can be that guy. And buying low on him, selling C.D. Lamb, I don't know if the manager he sold it or traded into was 3 and 0, 2, and 1, whatever the case may be. But again, you're trying to, you know, help that person for their potential playoff push while still giving yourself the option of helping yourself now. So you're buying low on somebody who's struggling. you're buying somebody who's as you know again i use ricky pierceau as the example right now ricky pierceau seems like he's a solid number two fantasy receiver right that could change in in a day

if juan jennings is back it could change in two weeks when george kittles back there's a window here of maybe not being that good but if that player gets you back to two and two three and two four and two five and two whatever the case may be you've now saved your season what about george pick Would you give up rice for George Pickens? Again, if you buy that George Pickens is going to be that player, I probably would look a little bit higher than that, you know. But when you start to get desperate because your fantasy season is slipping away, you know, like I don't want to go and get, and I may be wrong because it could still be a very good player.

Like I don't want to go turn Rashi Rice into Quinton, to Quentin Johnston. And Johnson may be awesome. Right. But like, you know, you just may be buying somebody who's never. going to sustain this level of production. Maybe I would say buy low. A play might be you need production now, but you also want upside if you're giving up a player like Rice.

I think buying low on a player like Ladd-McConkie could be a really good play or a player like Drake London, two guys that we thought would be very good but are struggling. So those managers might be like, I want to kind of move those players right now. That's the type of player I'd be looking for. This one's from Chad. I need to start two.

Jamo, Mooney, Addison, Worthy, Godwin, Travion Henderson. Give me two. Jamison Williams, Darnel Mooney, Jordan Addison, Xavier Worthy, Chris Godwin, Travion, Henderson. This is PPR or no? Yeah.

I'll go with Jamo and Henderson. Sorry, giving names again. I was just looking. The commanders had ruled out, Jane, Daniels. Yeah, Daniels and McLaurin out. Jammo, Mooney, Addison, Worthy, Godwin, Henderson. I would go Henderson and worthy.

Okay, next question is from, Not starting worthy. Do you feel confident starting worthy this week, Jamie? I just don't feel confident in Jameson Williams right now with his role and the defense that he's facing. And Godwin, same situation as worthy, but a little bit less. Okay. So just hoping that we get some big plays against the defensive struggling. Email from Mark.

Email from Mark. Hunter Henry or Brock Bowers, Jalen Waddle, or Debo, Samuel. Bowers and Debo for me. Bowers and Debo. I need to cut you off real quick for one quick thing because I'm getting a lot of heat for this golf. I hate you. Go ahead. A lot of, I need you quickly.

We don't have to spend much time. That's both of you to announce your favorite ice cream flavor real quick. Okay. My favorite, my go to, I go to Carvel a lot, my kids. My go to is cherry vanilla. Okay, those are good guys. Because if one of you said, like, chocolate or vanilla, I'd be like, well, I mean, come on. Like, what are we talking about here?

I guess, I guess there are some, like, special flavors. I also, I, well, milk and cookies from Ben and Jerry's is phenomenal. Yeah, coffee, coffee, buzz, buzz. Anyone ever heard of it? It's great. Have you ever had the, oh my God, the Hock and Dawes coffee, amazing. I just, I'm stunned at this coffee stuff. Okay.

It's gross. From no name, grade the trade. No name is from Forest Grove, by the way. Three and O, full PPR, 10 team league. I offered Ricky Pearsall and Quinnshon Judkins for A.J. Brown and Chase Brown. He countered wanting Abuca and Judkins. So I gave up Abuka and Judkins for A. Jay Brown and Chase Brown, grade the trade.

I'll say it's a B-minus with the hope that Chase Brown turns things around. I'll go with A-minus here, not just that I think Chase Brown could turn things around. I think A.J. Brown will be the winner of that deal. I also think, like, Judkins, yes, the role's amazing, but it could just be what I expected it to be with the Browns. A lot of running and not a lot of receiving work and a team that doesn't score a lot of touchdowns, which, again, like, that's an 8 to 10-point weekly output. From Shytown, Mikey, he says,

hi, BJ, John, Ron, and Steve. BJ, John, Ron, and Steve. He's from Chicago. From Chicago, BJ. You have no idea who BJ Armstrong is, do you? No, I think he's a basketball player, though. Yeah. Oh, so, I think I've heard of that,

is I want to Jordan see me. BJ Armstrong. Ron Harper, and John is a point guard, he says. John Paxton? Oh, yeah, John Paxton. Yeah. He's just before my time. All right.

Half point, PPR, 2QB league. I have Burrow and Russell Wilson. So I picked up Carson Wentz, and I have Caleb Williams, not feeling great about my quarterbacks the rest of the way. Why? Because he has went, because it's a 2QB league, one of his quarterbacks. Caleb's awesome. Yeah.

Which QB should I try and shoot for? I want to put Judkins. Scataboo or even Omari and Hampton on the trading block, or should I just pick up Jake Browning off waivers? Well, yeah, you should do that, just to have a quarterback on your team, drop Borough and drop Wilson. But is there a good by-low quarterback for our man, Chytown or Shytown, Mikey? I mean, I think given the fact of the running backs that you're having, that you have

and you're offering, anybody would be buying if they have quarterback depth. So, you know, try and especially now with injuries, if you're not concerned about long term, you know, in the case of Jaden Daniels, like if you could turn one of those running backs into Jaden Daniels, I would be doing that in a heartbeat. I would also maybe look to see if the J.J. McCarthy manager would be selling cheap and maybe you don't have to give up one of those running backs by themselves, so you at least have the Vikings quarterback situation covered and Caleb Williams. Did I say John Paxton?

Because I meant Paxon. All right. Next email is from Chesky. Should I trade Rish-Rice for Brian Thomas Jr.? I guess if you need it, fine. But I would much rather have Rishi Rice rest of season once he starts playing, personally. All right. Yeah, I would do it.

You get three weeks of Brian Thomas Jr. You see, Thomas hurt his wrist on the big play he had last week, which was, by the way, a busted coverage. Which got C.J. Gardner Johnson cut? Yeah. No, I didn't see that. Yeah, he's holding his wrist after the play because when he slammed the ball down or whatever. Really? Oh, that's good.

I think he's probably fine. We would have heard about it already, but he came in with a wrist injury. Yeah. So he's been playing through that, yeah. This is from, what's your, don't have a name here? PPR, I need three. Chuba Hubbard's questionable, and Xavier League has been ruled out. Thank you.

I need three in PPR. One of them has to be a running back. Pierceall, Devante Smith, Xavier Worthy, Henderson, and E.T.N. Pierceall, Henderson. You're going Henderson over E.N. I can go both, so I'll go both. But yes, I like Henderson a lot this week. All right.

I'm sorry, give me a choice again. Apologian. Pierceall, Devante, worthy, Henderson, ETN. Pierceall and ETN for me. And? Henderson's been first up in drills. We need one more. I hope you're right, man.

I'm excited. Yeah. I'll just say worthy. From Justin. I need a flex. Quinton Johnston or Xavier worthy. QJ for me. Yep.

From Josh. Someone offered me Jamar Chase for my Malik neighbors. It's a no for me. I would rather have Chase. I'd rather have neighbors. Okay. He also could offer Nico Collins or JSN for Chase.

Nico Collins. I would give Nico. Yeah. No, or, I think. Right? Yeah. Or. I would give up Nico and get to do it. I still probably want Chase. Yeah, and he's saying give up Nico to get Chase. Basically, he has neighbors, Nico, and JSN. Would you trade any of them for Chase?

Nico. Oh, I see. I'm sorry. I would trade JSN for Chase. We saw the downside of J.S.N. Wow. From Kenneth, D.K. Metcalfe or Brian Thomas, Jr., and Dobbins or Hubbard?

Dobbins. That's the start. Dabins over Hubbard. BTJ, for sure, for me. Thomas or who? Metcalf Yeah, yeah, Thomas Slightly go Thomas there

Okay From David Started running back Real quick on Terry McLaurin Dan Quinn calls him week to week Yeah, okay It's better than what it could have been Not necessarily

Week to week sometimes is a placeholder For he's having surgery I'm not saying he is But there's I'm curious This was my fear you know, with these guys from the Holden's holdouts, how Quinn Sean Judkins will hold up

because he looks fantastic so far without any training camp in McLaren. Unfortunately, another soft tissue injury. All right, question from David, half-PPR. Pick one of these three running backs. Jalen Warren against the Vikings, DeAndre Swift, Trevion Henderson. I'd go Warren.

Yeah, I'll go Warren over Henderson, but it's close. And Matt Wheeler wants to know if he should start Henderson over Chase Brown and Matthew Golden over Brian Thomas Jr. I'm not there with BTJ, but they're very close for me. So if you want to stick with Thomas, you can. And

I saw Brown right out of Edison, but I wouldn't fight you on that one. Okay, sorry. I'm a yes on both. Man, you have rookie fever this week, bro. It's not just that. I have, and what am I getting at? Brian Thomas doesn't have the floor right now, so it's a similar vet to me to Golden. They're both low floor with

high upside. I guess that. I don't even know if Brian Thomas has eye upside, but maybe we should assume he still does. And on the other front, I don't know based on what, but yeah. Based on last year. He was talking three games. He had one of the best rookie years ever in terms of yards per outrun. No, no, I still love him as a player long term. This is not a good rapport with Trevor Lawrence at all.

The commander sound optimistic for Jacoby Kroski Merritt to return. All right, and I'm optimistic that when we return, we're going to have the fantasy cops. So let's take one last break here on our mail. back and come back and settle some league disputes. All right, everybody. Someone said, did Adam curse? Did I cuss? I did not. Dan would accuse. Dan always says I curse, and I don't.

No, no, no. There have been times you have cursed, and you claim you didn't. But this was not one of them. All right. Well, you know what? If I did curse... This is where if I was mad at Adam, I'd say a bad word just so you have to edit it out. If I did curse, then I would expect you to call the fantasy cops. send in your emails fantasy football at cbsi.com put fantasy cops in the subject line and let's get those league disputes settled this is from tim in a town just north of st paul tell me if i'm way off here i overheard two players in my dynasty league talking about how one was quitting ten minutes later they make this trade oh

i told the league and the commissioner about their conversation this league has had quite a few questionable trades but i think this is it for me On your trade chart, it doesn't score that badly, but to the naked eye, it seems lopsided. Depending on what you guys say, it may determine whether or not I stay in the league. All right, here's the trade. One team gets Zach Charbonnet, DJ Moore, Tyquan Thornton, Isaiah Likely, and a first round pick. So Charbonnet, DJ Moore, Tyquan, Thirton, Isaiah Likely, and a first round pick for Marvin Harrison, Jr., Josh Jacobs, and Tyler Warren. yeah it's a terrible trade is the team getting the first round pick out of it already that's the quitting i mean

this feels like the team that said he was quitting but there's so many players with upside there i mean what do you i mean we're talking about three elite dynasty players what was it warren marvin i don't know if marvin harrison juniors is in the elite dynasty player i can say marvin if you want to say marvin harrison's not an elite dynasty player i still believe he was he's probably a top 30 player whatever we don't have to say that but warren certainly is what was the other one john Josh Jacobs. And Josh Jacobs, maybe he's an older. He's not even that old, Josh Jacobs.

And again, so much can change. But right now you're looking at no Mark Andrews, potentially next year for the Ravens, no Ken Walker next year for the Seahawks because they're both in contract situations. Yeah. First round pick. Yep. And what was the other parts of it? DJ Moore and Tyquan Thornton.

Like, it's not as awful as you would think. I agree. This is not vetoable. This is not something I'd quit the league over. There you go, Jamie. I love it. It's not vetoable. I agree with that.

So don't quit the league. league then? I guess don't quit the league, yeah. All right, listen, take these guys out for some coffee, ice cream, talk it over, everything will be fine. This one's from Mark from Texas. Dear Archie, Kenny,

Bobby, and Drew. All Saints quarterbacks. Nice. Quick crush there from Schneier. This morning, you know, I'm going to start the music over. This morning, I awake to a manager who dropped Jaden Daniels and Mack Jones

to pick up Matthew Stafford and Justin Fields. The manager has been in and out of a 12-team Home League live draft since 2008. He's the kind of manager that has been ineffective when setting lineups during hunting season and has never won the league. Is he a genius or do I as the commissioner need to take action as he dropped Jaden Daniels?

No, no, there's no action to take here. You know how my stance on this. I brought this up every time. Either live with it or you don't live with it. If your manager is not clearly very good at fantasy, and I'm not trying to be harsh, but if you're dropping Jaden Daniels, you're not very good at this thing,

then you either decide I play with this manager in my league. In poker, we refer to this term, this manager as a fish. You keep the fish in the league, or you want a super competitive league, and you get him out for a shark. But those are your options. You can't, in season, decide,

oh, this wasn't a good move. We have to put him back on your team. I would reach out to the manager. And knowing there could be a little bit of a gray area here because this is not a very skilled fantasy manager, they may just say, oh, okay, I need to fix that. But I would say as the commissioner, hey man or woman, you dropped an elite player, was this on purpose? Because we know how fat fingers work sometimes, and you hit the wrong button. And I said this before, I forget what show we were talking about. But like sometimes people are driving there, maybe it was last week's show.

you know you're you're pushing something and you don't mean to hit drop and you don't see whatever some sites don't have an immediate oh yeah if it's a mistake giving the player back right but they don't but what i'm saying is like hey dan you drop jane dams was like oh well was i suppose oh man oh yeah no i don't want to drop them you know like because somebody's question yeah you know they may do it but can i tell you something all right i know what you're saying yeah you should reach out to this guy i just see a report on my phone okay jelan warren's been added to the injury report he's questionable. Yes.

Do I have to go through every one of my leagues and look for Gainwell and Johnson? I don't want to do that. It's so annoying. You know, Johnson Week. I should do that myself. I have a couple of leagues I could use a little R.B. I mean, which one would you even pick up? Gainwell, Gainwell for me, for sure.

Gainwell. I mean, am I really? Okay, we're all in the FFT lead together. Let's go to the waiver wire right now. And I'll say this as one exception to the last fantasy cop. If the player comes back to you and says, oh, man, I made a mistake. I fat-fingered it and I dropped Jane Daines's my mistake. But I did it while I was driving my truck on the highway and I wasn't parked.

I'm just kidding. Just kidding. We're not getting back into that. All right. That's it for that episode for that submission. Here's the last one. It's from Aaron from Indiana. I'm the commissioner of my work league.

We have a one quarterback, two running back, two receiver, one tight end, two flex league, but only one bench spot. This was to stop managers who were in. inactive from just sitting on players. We have two problems that I'm trying to resolve. One, we play on ESPN, and we decide to have extra wins and losses on. I thought this was like Sleeper's median scoring system, but it works by only awarding the top five highest scoring teams a win.

So I decided after two weeks that this is not median system, and I removed the setting, but this has affected the league rankings. Is it early enough in the season to make this change, or was I wrong? And two, I made a poll to add a second bench spot as it's been harder to make trades and the lack of IR isn't making it any better. The manager in first who wanted zero bench spots is outraged. So I continue with the poll or cancel it.

I believe the majority will vote for the second bench spot. I'm so confused by everything going on in this league. So let's first start with the number one thing that confused me about this. What is the setting he had on? It's not median scoring. What is it? It's add extra wins and losses on ESPN. on what?

I don't know. It's in the top five, I guess, I'm guessing it's a 12-team league. And instead of the top six getting an extra win, only the top five get an extra win. Okay. I think that's in a lot of ways accomplishing what you set out to accomplish with median scoring. Yeah.

So I think you just keep that. As far as the other part, is this seriously a league where there's no bench? One bench. One bench spot. And no I. Like, this is insane. If you have two injuries, the starters, you're just like, ah. I either cut Jaden Daniels or I got to play a zero this week.

Like, what? Yeah, I don't know. This is fantasy football here. This is the NFL. There's injuries all the time. And it's only going to get worse. And what about the bye weeks? This is just this is nonsensical to me.

I'm sorry to say. I don't know how any other way to say this. This is just one of the most nonsensical settings I've ever seen done in a league. And that's all I can really say. Can't change it in season unless it's, I think it's got a good animal. Dyer Times called for dire, like, measures. Like, you have to add bench spots to a fantasy league. But, okay, but what if someone says, no, these are the rules, you know?

All right, I guess you play on. I hope this is for a fun league. Someone in the chat says, this sounds like the dumbest league ever. Well, if it sounds like that, it's probably it is. All right. That's it for our podcast. I appreciate you supporting the show. And thank you.

For fantasy cops. Sorry, Aaron. I, my personal opinion is you can't change rules once there. They're instituted. That's fair. I usually agree with that. Unless it's unanimous. You got one guy making a stink and everyone else says let's add a bench spot,

then I might be okay with you adding a bench spot. But maybe you, maybe. This must be the greatest waiver wire in the history of fantasy football. Oh, forget it. You know, I mean, forget it. It's ridiculous. Don't even read a waiver wire column every week. You just look at your, just click the players page.

Seriously. Have fun. All right. We got some Apple podcast questions. I have to, I'm sorry. I forgot to pull them up. So, Dan, what are your weekend plans? Well, I had weekend plans and they've been thrown off by something that happened that I've discussed with you.

I won't bring up on air. With that said, I am playing golf on Saturday with the home friend. So very excited about that. I have a little match set up with my friend Kevin, who my whole life has played golf his whole life. I picked it up three years ago. And I have this year gotten lower with my handicaps. So I'm giving him strokes for the first time ever in a match. So I'm very excited to see if I can handle my own there.

That's three years, right? Three years. Yeah. So that's going to be, that's going to be me versus you in tennis next year. I highly doubt that. And I actually will be going for O and O next year just to give you a little head and I'm going to be training to get O&O. All right. Here's a grade the trade from.

How many times have you said that, though? The going for O and O and O. Yeah. I've been pretty close. I mean, I was O and four this year. Oh and two last year. And it's all about stamina. Sounds like I'm getting better.

You are. You are. You played much better this year. The question from I dropped her. is he says I figured out I figured out how to get my question on the show compliment Adam

two years ago I said he had better hair than Dan this time I'll compliment Dan hey Dan nice refrigerator I traded Travis ETN I traded Travis ETN for Ladd McConkey and PPR did I win yes yeah that's a win

okay good job it's buying low it's nice okay this is from Junie Jones. Dear Marcus Bo, Justin, and Dylan. Marcus, Bo, Justin, and Dylan.

Are these Raiders running backs? Bo Allen, I don't know. Marcus Allen, Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson. Justin and Dylan.

Dylan Lobby. Not on the Raiders. Oh, I see what this is. this is somebody said in the chat. Shout out Popinski. This is Oregon quarterbacks. Yes, much, much better guess. Okay. This is a question about making two-for-one trades in 14 team leagues. Do you adjust the value on two-for-one trades in the deeper leagues? I'm offering Bill Kroski Merritt and Joanne Jennings for C.D. Lamb. I mean, yes, I mean, yes, you do, it's not necessarily better to be on the two for one side and on the two side, because I'd rather have C.D. Lamb than Kroski-Marit and Jennings.

But, yes, in a 14-team league, it's more advantageous to, you know, if you pull off a two-for-one trade and you get the two-side, the deeper the league, the better that is for you, okay? Like, it's harder to find players on the waiver wire. So, yes, make an adjustment. However, I think, well, you're making the right trade. You're getting lamb. I think Kroski-Marit and Jennings for lamb is probably a bad trade for the team giving up lamb. Sure. All right.

Next up, grade the trade from, don't even know how to pronounce that. I traded Pickens and A.J. Brown for J.Mere Gibbs. I have Neighbors, J.S.N. and Sutton. And I have Christian McCaffrey. So now he has Neighbors, J.S.N., Sutton, McCaffrey. Kaffrey and Gibbs, that's pretty damn good. But he traded Pickens and AJ Brown for Gibbs in a 10-team league, full PPR. Love that.

Yeah, I love it in a 10-team. And this is the exact opposite, right? I mean, Pickens and Brown in a 14-team league for Gibbs might be okay, or giving up Pickens and Browns. But in a 10-team league, giving up Pickens and Brown for Gibbs, that's a mistake. Getting Gibbs is a great deal there. This is from hindsight.

Dear Tommy, Philip, Lillian, and Charles. Tommy Philip Tommy Philip Rugrats characters I was immediately thinking too just with Tommy and Philip Lily and who was the last one Charles

yeah Charles the dad yeah this is Rugrats characters Okay nice By the way I saw this like cut up of Rugrats the other night and it's like you little did we know like Tommy's dad was like

this insanely depressed character that like as a kid you never focused on I'll find this was a bad bad job I made No I like that kind of stuff I don't remember much about Rugrats Yeah, I don't remember much as a kid.

I'm just, like, watching. And then it's like, there's some dark undertones in the writing here. How about that? A lot of stuff in Disney movies and things like that. All right, I'm one and two in a 12-team PPR league. CD injury was threatening to sink my season. The trade offers for CD-LAM were terrible

with the best being a risk in Brian Thomas Jr. So I had to get creative. Guy wanted Josh Allen. So I trade Josh Allen and CD-Lam for, Lamar Jackson, George Kittle, Travis E.T.N. And then I flipped E.T.N.

into Zay Flowers. So he ended up trading Allen and Lamb for Lamar Jackson, Kittle, Flowers, and Jameson Williams. Pretty good, I think. He needs to help now, right? I feel weird saying this. They'll probably be pretty even,

but based on right now and based on last year, Lamar Jackson might be three points better than Josh Allen per game. And right now he's much more than that, I think. I like that take. But I never really understood preseason why so many, why there was such a consensus to have Allen ahead of Lamar. I had Alan ahead of Lamar.

Jamie did I have Lamar first and I just didn't understand why we were putting Alan first. Because Josh Allen has been the same elite guy for four or five years in a row, whereas Jackson had this past year, 2024. What was it, 2018 or whatever it was, 19, when he exploded. In between that, even if you azer-statted it and removed his injured games, he was about 24 to 25 fantasy points per game, which is really good, but nowhere near what Josh Allen was. So I valued the consistency of Alan, I think, which I respect, but to me, I felt like that was factoring in way too much of the past when, A, Lamar was in completely different systems, B was a completely different

passer and Munkin last season opened up with the passing game in a way that really led to scoring and points versus Allen who's in like a very slow-paced Joe Brady offense that runs a ball a lot. They've actually run the most plays in the NFL going in a week four. The bills? Yeah. This year so far? Yeah, so far.

Yeah. I don't know. They played that Ravens game in the first game. That's true. Obviously skewing it. Yeah. No, I, Josh or Lamar Jackson to me, I asked the Twitter poll. I don't know what the results were.

Who's the best quarterback in football? And to me, it's Jackson right now. you mean not fantasy just actual football oh that's a great question i think i would go lamar i think who's played the best this year if you ask me that question from the tape i've watched it's justin herbert i could have maybe given you that before the broncos game but the throws that jackson made against the browns were unbelievable right he was so damn good in that game and that's another elite defense right so i don't disagree that i just feel like he's playing with a much better deck of cards. Herbert

lost his starting left tackle. He's playing with a better deck of cards? Without a doubt. Herbert has... Herbert has... McConkey, Allen. It's not about that. Herbert lost this starting left tackle

in the precinct. More importantly, the Chargers are 30th in yards created in the run game. They have absolutely no run game whatsoever. And he's made Keenan Allen who we thought was washed look great and Quentin Johnson, who thought was the first round bus looked great.

And their first in pass rate over expectation. All right, next up from football, Doc Connor. Trade advice, 10-team half-P-R league. Do I give up Abuka and Tyler Warren and Dobbins for Josh Jacobs and Jacobi Myers? Abuka, Warren, and Dobbins for Jacobs and Myers in a 10-team league still have McCaffrey.

No. I would not do that. This is redraft? Yeah. And he has Brock Bowers, by the way, so he doesn't need more. Oh, interesting. That does change it a little bit.

I mean, Jacob is arguably the best player in the deal, right? Yeah. But he's given three quality players, I think. So I wouldn't do it. He's getting two quality players. I mean, I think Jacoby players. Usually in a three for two, there's like, you know, a throw-in as the third or something. This is like Tyler Warren.

You can get value back in a trade separate if you want to give Tyler Warren up, in my opinion. I think I'm fine with it, but I don't love it. I probably would not do it. Sometimes people just trade to trade, and this feels like that could be one of them. Yeah. You are getting back to best. player and you know you're consolidating some things because you're never going to play tyler warn our last one here is from matt dear bart wringo and fish i got it bart ring oh these are all the uh beetles absolutely not there is no bart in the beetles there is no barth in the beetles there's no

Fish in the Beas. There's one beetle in here. What are the names again? Bart, Ringo, and fish. Who, I mean, who's Bart and Fish? I don't know. These are stars. Bart Star, Ringo, Star, and Starfish.

All right, all right. The Beatles. I love it. Now, it's Game of Thrones, actually. I know Bart Star. I don't, was it Ringo and Fish Star? I have no idea who the heck those are. Starfish.

Starfish. What? Okay. They're different types of. Terrible. Terrible. Honestly. Pick 2 and PPR. DeAndre Swift. Terrible by me and them. Yeah. Morley. More you. Swift, Chase Brown, Keon Coleman, D.K. Metcalf, pick two. Swift, Chase Brown, Keon Coleman, D.K. Metcalfe. Ew. The first two running mix. Yeah, same. All right. Okay, Apple Podcast. Let's see what do you got? This is from Albert Start or Sit 1 in full PPR.

These are YouTube questions. Okay, YouTube. What do you got? Sit one from Albert. Oh, by the way, Dan, I finally told Adam something that I noticed about him for years. Oh, what I want to hear. You'll appreciate this. Whenever he gets defensive about something, his shoulders go up. Ooh, shoulders off. It's usually like his hands are here, like, because he's like, I don't know what you're talking about.

You know, so. I got to watch. Whenever, like, he gets animated. I noticed this a few years ago, but, like, it never really, like, dawned on me, like, how often he does it. and it was when uh jake used um adam screwing me over in the dynasty league as a clip for uh on instagram okay oh really it was uh it was like a close up on adam and i was like yeah no like you like he was like i got to see this okay now who are you sitting lad mconkey keen an hour or george pickens pay uh wow i think i'm sitting keen new i don't want to

and also, but I don't love that. Yeah. It's really, you don't know what to make of it from three games, but the thing that really concerns me for McConkey is the lack of end zone, red zone, green zone targets. Sure. He just keeps throwing to Johnston and Allen there, and now Gadsden too.

But again, these are the things that can change quickly. You're excited about Gadsden, Jamie? He looked really good last week. He did. I just don't love the environment because how is he going to get targeted in this offense? Good point. Yeah, great. great point i don't know how you thought about that was really uh habit slim says i need a wide

receiving it like that i'm just saying i knew jamie was a big gasting guy coming in oh that's true yeah coleman wicks ridley or digs who we going with keon coleman d'antabian wicks ridley or digs i would take a chance on the first two um but if you want to maybe play the most upside might be wicks and ridley this could be good i'm wicks yeah i'm wicks almost no matter what here I'm big on Wix this week. We'll see if I get burned as we have in the past with Wix. As far as the second one.

Did you do that on purpose? What? Wix burned. That's good one. Get burned by Wix? That was very good. Ever seen that one with Nick Cage, the burning man?

What is it? Wicker Man? No. You never saw that one? The one movie you've watched your life is Wickerman. No, I've just seen some clips from it. It looks crazy.

Some witches are like burning. Will you go watch adaptation? You said your plans got canceled. Watch adaptation tonight. I might need to. I'm like stuck here, so I might need to. And I really think you'll like to show Platonic. You definitely will like it.

What's that on? Paramount, I hope. No, it's not on Paramount. I don't know what it's on. I want to say Apple TV. I have so many. I've like lost subscriptions because there's just, there's so many. It's on Apple TV.

Okay. I already talked about it earlier today, but it's with Seth Rogan and Roseburn. Okay. And there's a great episode with Beck Bennett, who I think is such a funny actor. All right, start two. Carson Wentz, Bryce Young, Matthew Stafford, Marcus Marietta. Marietta and Wentz. Marriota and Stafford for me.

Okay. Even in the matchup. Would you trade Quentin Johnston for Trayvion Henderson in PPR? I think that's a fair deal. I think if you're going to do it, you've got to do it now because Henderson may blow up this week. Yep. Keenan Allen or DeAndre Swift and half PPR this week? Keenan Allen for me

Alan for me I don't know what's the deal with Swift Are we expecting him to play? What's the yeah I think so I don't think I did Yeah

From theory Fish Lenin was so talented What'd you say Fish Lenin was so talented Listen I heard Ringo And I thought Vito But you were so sure about it I got it's the BEL

I just heard Ringo And I just went right to I'm trying to get these in quick you have to when this game you got to go bang bang like the one i got earlier it was you're like you're commended me for you like wow that was really fast good job so i you know built a little confidence in my head and i was just bang i went for it and i was wrong i also think it's a terrible like other stars those aren't stars like what do we talk star fish that's not a person that's just like a thing yeah you're right you're a hundred percent it's terrible it's just

terrible all right i traded at wringo stars that even do a poll funniest things from today peed power, coffee, ice cream, or fish. This is leading me down direction that I'm nervous to say, but we'll do it quick and we'll follow up on another show. One of my worst takes of all time that I stand by, it's one of my hottest takes. It is the hottest take I've ever had, is I find the Beatles to be an overrated band.

Good melodies, good songwriting, overrated instrumentals, just very overrated at all. Like, they're not better than Led Zeppelin. They're not better than the Alman Brothers. They're not better than Grateful Dead. They're different. They're not that kind of classic rock band. They came before all those bands.

Yeah, they're not as good at playing the instruments. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not true. They are musically, they're incredibly gifted. You should listen to, you've heard the song, and your bird can sing. Yeah, no, they write great songs. No, but the guitar on that is terrific, although it is two guitars harmonizing. Which is great. They just don't, they're not a band that just,

solo is all the time. But while my guitar gently weeps has a great solo. It does. They're good. I want to make this clear because it is my worst take ever. No,

it's the second worst. What's the worst? The one that... Oh, the one that really posters you. That's a side one. It's an insider one. All right.

Let's get back to this. Traded Brock Bowers and Kareem Hunt for Hunter Henry and Ashton Genti in Dynasty. So it's basically Bowers for Gentie. Yeah, I do not like that at all. The only way I think you win, because I don't think it's that far off from a player for players now. I'd rather have Bowers, but I don't think it's that far off, is if you're in win now mode and you feel like Henry is going to be close to Bowers and Gentie is obviously going to be Gentie.

This is from Lou. I don't really see the path forward with Gentie. at all that's that is a wild overreaction after three games it's not about three games it's about their offensive line and the arts created they're not gonna have the same offensive line for the entirety of his career what do you mean no no this is dynasty oh i'm so sorry i am so sorry dynasty i still prefer bowers but that's a that's jamie's right it's much closer all right uh lu wants to know mariotta stafford two a second is this true

Gil Munzo says oh that is true is an Eric Clapton solo so you just claim it as the Beatles Adam no no it's a it's a Beatles song but Eric Clapton I think plays the solo in that but it is still a great guitar song okay thanks for taking the stinking question

off the air is Marioo Mariota okay would you trade we did that one sorry Keenan Allen or DeAndra so we did that one sorry I've got to finish up here. Adam's shoulder go up like a Muppet.

All right. Jacori Kroski Merritt, Chris Rodriguez, Kenneth Gainwell or Braylon Allen in a 14-team league. You're going to see if Jalen Warren is out, which is going to make everybody even more excited on the West Coast

to wake up for that early game for the inactives. Assuming Kroski Merritt and Jalen Warner out I would go Gainwell over Rodriguez I can't see Caleb Johnson

doing well against that Vikings defense Brian Thomas Jr. or Michael Pittman half PPR? Pittman for me. Pittman for me. Just a few more here, sorry. Hmm. Why do I not?

Okay, Judkins, Henderson, Brian Thomas Jr., DeAndre Swift, pick two. Judkins Henderson, BTJ Swift. First two running backs. Same. Okay. Would you trade Chuba Hubbard for Marvin Harrison, Jr. in PPR? Yes.

Yes. Last one. May, Love, or Daniel Jones, and Brian Thomas Jr. or Pittman and Half PPR? May and Pittman. I'm going to go May and Pittman. Hitman as well. And someone in the comments said, Dan, would you prefer Nickelback or Beatles?

Don't even embarrass me like that. I don't like nickel back. No. All right. Last one now. Keenan-A-Lan for Cam Scataboo and half-P-R. Which side wins? Oh, Scataboo. I still think Keenan could be a thing all year. I'm going to go Keenan. I'm looking forward to the Giants fans going, boo. Yeah. For Scataboo? Oh, no, for the Giants.

Yeah, well, it's going to go both ways. Have a great weekend, everybody. We will talk to you on Sunday morning. See you later. Paramount Podcasts. Now streaming on Paramount Plus. In 2020, a lip-syncing nobody took over the internet. What's up, guys?
