This is fantasy football today from CBS Sports.
What a play!
Can you believe this?
No, I can.
It's time to dominate your fantasy league.
Off to the races, and he stays on his feet.
It's just going to go the distance.
Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
It's bailback time.
Here we go.
We're happy.
We're fired up.
We've got the case of the Fridays, and we're ready to rock and roll.
Welcome to Fantasy Football today, presented by BEDMGM, the sports book born in Vegas.
I got to tell you, we got a lot of starter sit questions today.
These are some of the worst starter sit questions we've had in years.
I haven't gotten any good ones.
They're all about like Amari DiMarcato.
But this is what I got.
So this is what I'm reading.
We also have some good trade questions, good fantasy cops question.
Yeah, we've got a fantasy cop for you, a cheater.
All right.
Oh, he did it again?
What did he do now?
I didn't do anything.
But I have a question first just real quick.
Dan, who bought you, just seriously, like, who bought you that sweatshirt that you're wearing?
I got huge compliments on the sweatshirt on the Big Blue Bander podcast.
Somebody even texted me, DM me and said, where did you get that sweatshirt?
I want to get it.
Yeah, so what's the answer?
You didn't answer the question.
I got it for the question.
I got it for you.
I got it for you was a gift or something.
It's a great, it's a ridiculous sweatshirt.
It looks like something I would have worn in middle school.
And I even popped on to Beyond the Box score.
This is a little promo for Beyond the Box score, which is doing great.
Please watch it.
I popped on while it was live on yesterday,
and I made fun of you for the sweatshirt.
I guess you never saw the comment.
I missed that.
I wish I had.
And you're wearing it again.
You cannot wear it on consecutive days.
I love this sweatshant.
And as I mentioned before the show,
which got a massive response from Jamie, as it should,
if the Giants can win this weekend by at least two scores,
and I'm thinking between two and three scores,
I will start to get very irrational about the Thursday
at a football game at home against the Eagles the following week.
You mean the Saquan Barkley invitation?
know where he goes for 200 yards and reminds people
about the way is again. Yes. Yeah, that's going to happen.
That one. All right. News and notes, we actually
do have Giants News. They're always one of the first to practice,
so we get their injury report early.
But according to CBS Sports,
there's a report that they're optimistic
that Brock Bowers, even if he does not
play a practice today, that
he will play on Sunday at Indianapolis.
So optimism for Brock Bowers.
But optimism for
a 2.1 average depth
of target. Please
post Brozy Brosums.
Chat, comment.
Dan looks like he showed up to the first day of kindergarten with his favorite new sweatshirt.
Honestly, I was getting tons of compliments on this hoodie until today.
So I'm just taken back by all this.
It is what it is.
I think it's great.
The fact that you wear two days of a row is a little alarmed.
Yeah.
No, no, it's a hoodie season.
I just throw the same hoodie on.
You can't wear a hoodie two days in a row.
That's insane.
It is hoodie season.
I agree, but two days in a row on the air, I wouldn't do that.
You can't wear it on the air twice.
So you have the same.
I wasn't on the air yesterday.
I was on my own show.
If you guys didn't know that.
Maybe it was Wednesday.
It doesn't matter.
That was Wednesday.
That wasn't yesterday.
That's right.
That was Wednesday.
Two shows in a row is bad.
You have the same like Nerf football as my son and the same fashion sense.
Congratulations.
I never had a fashion sense.
I'm not worried about that.
If you have Brock Bowers, you should.
You don't have to do anything now, but think about other options.
Tampa Bay defensive backs Christian Ision and Jamel Dean are unlikely to play.
So that could help Sam Darnold.
and Tyrone Tracy has not been ruled out this week.
There's a chance he can play.
He's doing better with the shoulder.
I'm sure we're still going to like Scataboo better.
But if Tracy plays, Jamie, you have Scataboo ahead of Alvin Camara,
ahead of, I think you said you had him ahead of Rico Dowdell.
Head of Derek Henry.
Yeah, so if Tracy plays, what would that do to the ranking of Scataboo?
I'll drop him a couple spots, but I still think he's the best running back for the Giants
and the matchups too good.
So he'll still be a number two running back where he'll settle.
will probably be in that
Dowdell Rashad White
range, so probably a little behind Henry
and probably behind Woody Marks.
All right. Don't forget, Sunday,
8.30 a.m. to 9.30 a.m.
YouTube.com slash fantasy football today.
And again, noon to 1 p.m. Eastern,
YouTube.com slash fantasy football today.
Early morning stuff as we have the game in London.
To the emails at Fantasy Football at CBSI.com,
we also thank you for the Apple podcast,
questions, and comments.
The five-star reviews really help.
If you want to leave us some Spotify,
reviews. We're trying to grow on Spotify's. You can help us there. If you want to leave us some
kind reviews, you can ask some questions there. We'll try to sort through that as well for next
week's show. But first emails, fantasy football at cbsi.com from Chesky. Start one in PPR. Trayvion
Henderson, Amari DiMarcato, Jordan Mason, Zach Charbonnet, and R.J. Harvey Harvey.
Trayvion Henderson, Amari DiMercato, Jordan Mason, Zach Charbonne, R.J. Harvey, start one.
I have Mason ranked the highest, but I don't love really any of these options.
I may switch Mason and Charbonnet.
I'm going to go Charbonnet.
I actually would go Trayvion Henderson for full PPR.
I would lean Henderson or even DiMarcotta.
We have different feel on this.
Mason versus the Browns is definitely not a play for me this week.
Good comment from Timmy in the chat.
Azer would do a two-for-one sweatshirt trade instead of dropping one hoodie.
So there's an injury.
It came up on yesterday's show.
Adam cheats.
I'm like behind now on two shows.
I've got a lot of show sketch up on this weekend,
but I've been formed to not listen to a certain portion.
So I've got to like figure it out as I'm driving this weekend.
But what did he cheat this time?
What did he do this time?
He didn't cheat.
He just did something that he said that I cheated for and did the exact same thing.
It didn't really occur to me.
It just, it never had really occurred to me.
Because Jamie added a player, went over the roster limit,
then used that player to make a two-for-one trade.
And I can't use that player.
Traded somebody totally different.
No, you did not.
You traded that player.
That was the problem.
I did not trade that player.
I added Darren Waller and then I traded Justice Hill.
This is risky to say, but I don't really like how on our site you can add more players than you should be able to.
Well, no, I fixed that.
I fixed that problem.
Okay.
It's a big problem, I think.
That's a commissioner's thing.
That's not a.
Okay.
Okay.
That's on the commission.
All right.
Well, it's out of you.
What I did was I traded.
I got a two for one trade.
I took the two side.
and then instead of dropping someone...
Just three side for two.
Oh, yeah, three for two.
I had an extra player,
and instead of dropping someone,
I was attempting to make a two-for-one trade.
Jamie called me out for my hypocrisy.
I agreed with it.
Well, I agreed with it, and I dropped a player.
Okay.
But the injury...
But Adam dropped the player on my roster.
Yeah, that was crazy.
When you do that stuff,
and you start touching other people's rosters.
I cannot deal with the lies.
The gaslighting from Jamie.
He's so...
He's so gassy.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on.
Tell me where the lie is.
All right.
I'm going to say, you tell me where the lie is.
Who was the player?
You made a three for two trade.
Yeah.
You had an extra player on your team.
Yeah.
You then, because you were called out on a drop to player.
Yeah.
Correct.
Okay, that's your, that's your scenario.
Yeah.
My scenario, I made, I made an ad drop, one roster limit, one player over the roster limit,
which was at the time considered to be illegal.
No, it was.
It was.
No, it was not.
I had made an announcement.
about that in the league chat.
You did not make it.
Yes, I did.
You made an announcement after the fact.
I am before.
Nowhere in the league rules.
You can't assume everyone's reading a league chat.
I mean, what kind of league?
I don't need to put a rule that you cannot be over the roster limit.
You have, you are the commissioner of set up the league.
I am adhering to the rules of the league because you do not have a setup where there is not allowed to be players.
You're taking advantage of a loophole on the website that allowed you to add an extra player.
That's your fault as the commissioner.
I agree with Jamie on that entirely.
That's why N.R. Yahoo League. Yep, go ahead.
Then you dropped a player off of my roster when asking me to do it, and I didn't do it in your timeline.
Okay. So.
That's pretty insane, Adam. You can't just drop players from people's rosters.
No, that's, first of all, I said to Jamie, I gave him about a week and a half to drop a player.
He was not doing it. I then texted him and said, if you don't drop a player by 1 PM Eastern or whatever it was, I'm going to drop this player.
Yeah, but he was on 8.5.
And he was working.
No, oh, stop.
I gave him 10 days.
He was on HQ in a 10-day marathon on HQ.
He didn't do it.
I finally dropped the guy.
All right.
Now, moving on.
So basically, what you're telling me is,
Jamie delivered an excellent start sit that week,
but it would have been an hour later
if he had to focus on your drama
that you couldn't just,
since you just dropped his team.
And so I guess if he had just put his team ahead of work,
I guess you would have not dropped a player on his team.
Ten days to drop a player.
Nobody even picked up.
All right, this is from Jake.
He did get picked up immediately.
Okay.
Who's from Jake?
I'm just there in the pot.
Hey, Garrett, Brian, and Connelly.
These are Red Sox pitchers, and he said,
Jake said, I only put three names above because I can in good conscience
ask a Yankees fan for advice right now.
I am sorry.
What do you think about the Yankees right now,
and before we get into this question?
You hot on them after last night, or?
They have such a bad bullpen.
You can't win with a bad bullpen.
I kind of feel like they're going to beat Toronto and losing the LCS.
Have you ever seen anyone move slower to first base than John Carlos Stanton?
Well, that was, he wasn't running hard.
He thought it was a home run.
I'm just saying.
He's a very slow.
He can't move.
He can't move.
All right, here we got.
I only read one question so far.
You want me to really piss Adam off for him?
Oh, for God's sake.
You already are.
I'd like to read this question.
That's what we want.
You want it even worse?
Go.
Yeah, let's do it.
So, serious question, though.
Are you, are you happy that what you did last night?
I mean, it's so rude.
That was uncalled for Jamie.
That's what you say he's name, right?
No, there's an L in there.
Oh, I got a wrong.
Damn it.
All right.
Cam Schlittler was great.
You forgot two L's, I think.
All right, I'm three in one.
my three receiver half PPR redraft league.
I'm thinking of offering Metcalf and Olave for C.D. Lamb.
But if I do that, my bench options would be Iowmanner and Christian Kirk.
So would you offer Metcalf and Olavet for Lamb?
Absolutely.
Three receiver league.
Three and one, 100%.
You do it. It's too good of a deal to not do.
There are definitely some good underlying metrics when it comes to Olave.
So he's not a player that I think is just a throw in this deal.
I like him rest of season.
I don't want to make that clear.
But the upside of lamb, it's too much to give up.
Of course, factoring in, like, players coming back from the high angle sprain is never great.
That's interesting that you find good underlying numbers because I actually went through it for Olave and didn't really see it.
I mean, other than his target per route rate, but he's got one of the lowest yards per route run, yards per target, and yards per catch.
This team, he has no yak.
I mean, that's going to change because you can't have like a 1.2 yard yak.
That's ridiculous.
but this team doesn't throw deep.
They can't throw deep.
They actually do throw deep a decent amount,
but they never connect.
They don't throw to score a lot of touchdowns.
So I think Alave kind of is better
or worse for Alave when they make a quarterback change.
I don't know that they are going to make a quarterback change,
but I would say worse.
I mean, the two of you have them going on four
after losing by two touchdowns to the Giants this weekend.
I'd say worse if they make a change personally.
I would think worse, too.
It's possible, like for me when I was referring to Adam
was just how he's playing,
like less so what these some of these numbers are relying on like the quarterback and the system just how he's getting open looks good but so it would stand to believe that maybe a quarterback change could help that but I just don't see that with Tyler Shuck so I would say probably worse too okay moving on I don't think Rattler's playing that bad by the way he's not playing that badly but he's not doing anything special at all yeah he's just kind of dinking and dunking um oh well okay here's one from Ethan would you start Amari de Mercado
Jordan Mason
or Elyke Eo Manor
at the second flex spot.
DeMercato for me.
I assume it's PPR.
I don't know.
I go Ayo Manor.
I'm going to go Mason.
It's definitely not Mason for me.
So,
Xavier Scott is questionable.
Oh.
He's the past catching guy for the Vikings.
I don't know if that would change anything for you.
I'm pretty sure he's playing.
All right.
I'm a Xavier's a guy.
Scott Truther, by the way, just for deep leagues.
When I did my first run of rankings this week,
I had Scott ahead of Mason just because of how this game should.
The matchup, right?
Yeah.
They're down three linemen this week.
Already ruled out.
It's not going to be pretty for doing.
Against that Brown's defensive front, which is the best in the NFL.
Okay.
Next question is from...
The under on that game is amazing.
Go ahead.
Sorry.

I made BetMGM a little bit wealthier this week
by betting against the Yankees
because I thought they were going to lose game two.
And I was like, you know what?
I might as well profit off of this.
And they won and I lost.
All right, question now from...
Who's this from?
From a team name of DJ Moore Cowbell.
Bucky Irving officially rolled out.
Dan needs to start a fantasy football show for foodies
so he can talk about crazy sandwiches all the time.
Funny thing is, his culinary rabbit holes often make me hungry,
although the coffee ice cream take was about as good
as the Tennessee Titans play calling last week.
The subject of this email, by the way,
was Brian Callahan eats coffee ice cream or likes coffee ice cream.
PPR.
I had it last week.
So what did you think?
I drowned it in hot fudge and M&Ms.
But it was fine.
Right.
You know.
It's not fine.
I think Adam's the best.
It's good.
It shouldn't be somebody's favorite.
I never said that.
I said it definitely should be.
No,
I never said it's good.
I hate it.
I think it's garbage.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No,
no.
You said it's a fine ice cream.
If you like it,
it shouldn't be somebody's favorite.
I think it's,
I think it's odder to say you don't like it than to say that it's your favorite ice cream.
what Adam just said. I think it's weirder. How could you not like it? It's basically just like a latte
in ice cream version. It's gross. Okay, question is Malik Washington? Gross Matos.
Malik Washington, Keon Coleman, or. Eric. I. I'd go Ile Manor. Yeah. Eric. I don't want to
play Leak of Washington. All right. We're going to take a break. Just found my favorite person in the
chat, Garrett Hook. Shout out. We got a good Michael Carter question when we come back.

Email from Frank.
Sup, handsome Adam.
Am I crazy for wanting to start Michael Carter over T. Higgins this week?
No, I would do it.
Yeah, no, I would do.
Me too.
What are we getting out of Higgins?
From Elijah.
Two weeks, can I ask you something?
Two weeks ago, I traded Chase Brown, T. Higgins.
in a two-quarterback Superflex 14 team league.
Chase Brown T. Higgins and Bryce Young for Daniel Jones,
Giovante Williams, and Devante Adams.
Is that not one of the best trades by highs you've ever heard?
Like, people laughed at me, like,
you're trading all that for Joe.
You play Javante Williams.
I'm like, Fonte Williams is awesome at fantasy football.
Yeah, that's a great trade.
I did it right after the burrow injury.
It was fine giving up Chase Brown.
I don't care.
I don't play in any leagues with people like that.
And that's like, oh, I don't play in these amateur leagues.
No, what are you talking about?
I was the amateur there.
I was considered the amateur there.
I gave up so much draft capital.
No, I'm just saying that's what people say when, like,
these trades don't go down in my leagues.
Like, they get that all the time.
Oh, no.
I thought it was the opposite.
I was criticized by some people in the league.
Like, why are you trading all that?
You're trading buying high on Daniel Jones and Javonte Williams.
Like, yeah.
Actually, especially on Javante.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Question from Elijah.
He says,
Dear Luffy, Zorro, Sanji, and Shanks.
This is, of course,
this is some anime thing called One Piece
I'm in a 2QB league
I am currently of course as if Jamie I would ever
heard of it there's like no way
any of us would know that
I'm currently winless and ravaged by injuries
and bad quarterback play in my 2QB
or Superflex league I offered
my Trevor Lawrence and Christian
McCaffrey for Jordan Love and
Cam Scataboo what do you think
horrible yeah no don't do it
just horrible yeah I don't do it
And even worse, I mean...
Make sure you didn't do that.
He did it.
Oh, well, he offered it.
You're right.
If you thought it couldn't get any worse, he says, P.S., I went to my first NFL game a couple of weeks ago.
Chiefs at Giants.
It was awesome.
And now I'm a Giants fan.
I am ready for the misery.
Well, like I said.
Tough week for him.
No, I don't know.
If we beat the Saints by two or three scores.
Two or three scores.
We're underdogs.
Underdogs.
We'll see.
This defensive line should just destroy Spencer Rapp.
Two or three scores.
Two or three scores is when I start to think maybe just maybe we can beat the Eagles.
If the Giants beat the Saints by two or three scores, I might buy Dan a grown-up giant sweatshirt.
I have other giant sweatshers.
I personally like this one a lot.
I stand by it.
People have commented.
They like it.
I don't know what the deal is here.
I love that.
People have said they like it.
There's a Reddit thread I heard.
You know what?
I'm going to screenshot this DM I got the other, just yesterday.
Here it is just yesterday in the DM.
Thank you.
Trevor Winstrol.
Hey, on the Saints pot.
I love your sweatshirt.
Where did you get it?
That's a DM.
That's a real DM.
He's cracking up with his friends.
Like, I can't believe I actually said that.
That's actually possibly true.
That is possibly sure he's trolling me.
I don't know.
This is from Adam.
No, this is from, I don't know.
I'm sorry.
I forgot the name here.
I trade my Nico Collins,
Joanne Jennings,
and Justice Hill.
Nico Collins, Joanne Jennings, and Justice Hill.
I get Rishi Rice, Amari DiMarcato, and Teteroa McMillan.
I love it.
I absolutely love that trade.
That's a huge win.
Yeah, it's big.
He could have said Demarcato and Rishi, and I think I'm still in.
If you have Nico Collins or you have Justin Jefferson and you want to trade for Rishie Rice,
I'm not saying to do it straight up or anything.
If you think Rish Rite is going to be awesome, though, those wide receivers have buys next week.
so you're only missing one game of Rishi Rice, basically,
while those guys were going to say,
but now Rice has the chiefs buy later in the week.
But, you know, if you need wins now,
you're not giving up that much, like, for early season.
Just throwing that out there.
Okay.
From Anthony, no advice needed.
I'm doing just fine.
I'm either, he wrote this when he was one and two.
He's either two and two or one and three.
Just want to say, I love Dan.
I love beyond the box score.
I like and subscribe and generally agree with his takes, a.k.a. Jamie's takes. But coffee ice cream is where I draw the line.
Did he write that in or did you write that? No, he wrote it. I'm reading verbat. I'm trying to make sure you didn't self put that in.
Coffee ice cream is where I draw the line. You know who likes coffee ice cream? I think I hope I'm pronouncing this right. Banya.
Kenny Banya, a 90s sitcom character on Seinfeld. I don't know if it was ever a bit on the show, but Banya was definitely a coffee ice cream guy. And who wants to be.
ban you. That's all, it's a ban
your flavor. I'll leave you with a good
dad joke because on the fence was awesome
by the way. What is the leading
cause of dry skin?
Towels.
Towels.
Towels.
I don't think I even understand that.
It dries your skin. Because towels dry your skin.
Yes, it's a dad joke.
That's a dad joke.
Have kids already.
I feel like,
no great email great email but dad jokes have a little more pop in them than that that's just like
great joke that's like saying like that's like saying like i'm trying to think of like that's like saying
like i don't have anything good but you got it's just like saying it's like what color is the brick wall
red like i don't i still you understand like it's just like saying this is something why did this
like you know what i mean does anyone understand what i'm trying to say here i'm struggling with
Definitely not.
Like, why does Adam not have a beard?
Because he shaved it today.
That's like what that sounds like to me.
It's just saying like a simple thing that happened after a thing.
Except that's not a dad joke.
A dad joke is like the fence.
No,
the dad joke is like the fence thing you did.
That's more of a dad joke.
Like I'm on the fence with it.
I get it.
What you're saying would be if he had said,
what's the leading cause of dry skin?
And then the punchline was like eczema,
then that would have been a bad joke.
No, I think it has to have a double meaning to be a dad joke.
Like you're on the fencing as a double meeting.
Get it?
Like you're a fence company and I'm putting in a fence, but I'm also on the fence of it.
It's a double thing.
Like, why is my skin dry?
I used a towel.
That's insane.
It's not a joke.
Dan's going to, you know what?
Dan's going to be, Dan's going to be.
Oh, I use the towel.
That's why my skin dry.
What?
Dan's going to be 65 years old in his giant's cardigan, uh, having his little coffee ice cream,
just critiquing jokes in his old age.
Jamie, you just look, great email.
I don't ever want to be compared.
to ban you again. Let me make that clear.
Jamie, you know what's at stake if
the Giants don't beat the Saints because you know what the
terms are. And thank goodness
it's not in place for this
episode. We really need the Giants
to beat the Saints. All right, this is from
Josh. Did I have to agree to these
terms? They're being imposed on me.
You don't have to, it's not being imposed on you. It's being
imposed on me. It has, you have, you're
fine, I promise. Okay.
The guy that has Malik neighbors.
He'll be ordering one of those sweatshirts.
Yeah. The guy that had neighbors
is thin. He has James Cook
and sounds open to trade. He asked
for Travis E.TN and Teteroa McMillan
for James Cook. It's
a one receiver, one running back,
three flex league. Would you give
up E.T.N. and McMillan for Cook?
I think if you have the
it sounds like it's a shallower
league and he doesn't need the depth play, so it's a two for
one that I would do, yes. I think it helps
both managers. It's like the perfect
type of trade. So when you're
looking at it, your team, and you're
four and oh, three and one, you know, hopefully
five and no four and one after this week.
And you're trying to get superstar players
for players who may or may not be
guaranteed starters for you. Like, this is the type of mood
you make. All right. Next question
is from Jim in Cleveland.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. Jim,
you're next. This one's from Jonathan.
He says, dear, David.
Your dad joke there would have been
the guy who has neighbors is thin. You'd say, go have a
sandwich. Yeah.
Double meaning there, Jamie.
I'm not a bad joke guy.
It's clear I just don't like
dad jokes. They're not funny to me. I don't get them.
My favorite dad joke, Jamie texts me a lot of dad jokes.
My favorite one was,
Dan, did you hear about that restaurant on the moon?
No.
The food's pretty good, but there's no atmosphere.
Great.
Great joke.
All right.
Jonathan says, Dear David, Nigel, and Derek.
How did I get dry.
I use the towel.
Enough.
This is Spital Tap, by the way.
This is a greeting.
I am trying to stay competitive
in a half-PPR 12-team league
where I drafted Neighbors, Evans, and Tillman.
I have Love and Jacobs on a buy.
So who's my best flex option this week
between Bejal Tootin,
Rashid, Malik Washington,
and Calvin Ridley?
I mean, with the Saints chasing two scores,
I would probably go with Shahid.
I don't hate that.
I go with Shahid, too,
but not because they can be chasing.
I don't think he can play Rip.
Washington. Ridley's been proven as a player
you can't play. All right, it's Washington.
I mean, it's Shahid. Jim
in Cleveland. When you had a super
what? See, Steve, or Dan would
probably find Frazier hilarious. Does he not know
my Frazier take? We got to turn that down.
Yeah, Dan doesn't like Frasier.
We don't insult Paramount Plus
here, but then, no, we can. I know. I didn't want to do
it, but I just need to make it clear. I'm not a Frazier fan.
I was a big Frasier. I respect
a quality show. Did you know
that incorrectly is
the only word that one spelled
correctly is still spelled
incorrectly. That's
not a great joke. Is that a dad joke?
That's not really a joke. It's actually true.
All right.
From Jim and Cleveland,
when you have a super stack, two receivers
and a quarterback from the same team,
what's your strategy for starting them all?
For example, I have Herbert McConkey
and Keenan Allen.
You like to break them up or what?
Oh.
when you have a super stack what's your strategy um oh i see he's like what how do you decide between
starting lad or alan is no no he's saying how do you decide between starting alan and tony
pollard i think is the example he gave in other words do you play it cautious and not start all
three members of the chargers passing game try to diversify it a little bit or do you not
care about that and i actually someone asked me a question like this hey starter sit they had
Justin Herbert,
Keenan Allen,
and either Johnston
or Lab McConkey.
And I said,
you know what,
why don't we sit
Keenan Allen,
just in case Herbert,
they were playing the Giants.
I was like,
just in case the chargers
blow them out,
Herbert doesn't have to throw.
Let's not have too much invested.
Obviously,
it didn't play out that way.
But that,
I didn't want,
I didn't want to start all three of them.
So,
I mean,
it's obviously case by case.
In this case,
you're talking about
not superstars.
You're talking about
very good players,
just not superstars.
In the case last year of Burrow and Chase or Burrow and Higgins,
you'd be thrilled to start those guys almost on a weekly basis
because of just what the upside was for those players.
I don't know if I'm going to necessarily roll with that every week.
Now, in the case of one of these guys versus Poller,
who's not been great, take the chance on the upside.
He also has David Montgomery.
I would sit Keenan Allen for Montgomery.
100% this week.
Yeah.
So, all right, let's go to our next question from Steve.
I would start Allen over McCawley.
think we're going to start to see a major, major downtake in production from the entire Chargers crew, if what I saw last week, and it's not every week they're not going to face Brian Burns, Kavan, Abdul Carter, but it wasn't even about that. They weren't picking up simple stunts and twists. They were getting destroyed on the edges. This offensive line is in nightmare mode right now. Maybe they can figure out how to fix it, but it's not how it really works in the NFL. There's no backups. There's no good swing to, they're already down to their swing tackle to start the year anyway. Now it's the third, fourth tackle. So I just, I,
I totally agree with what you're saying, but mid-game versus week-to-prepare is a big difference.
That's a good point. That's a good point.
And especially, like you said, against that team.
Great point, Jamie.
I'm just going to read a few more here.
Charles.
It's a good point.
It's all a good point, a good point, Adam.
Steve from Canada.
I'm in a 14-team half-PPR league, and I just traded Christian McCaffrey and Stefan Diggs for Romo-Dunzei and Amarian Hampton.
What do you think of the trade?
Caffrey and Diggs for Adunzee and Hampton
I normally wouldn't want to give up the best player
but I'm somewhat open to this
This is a great trait
This is again, consolidating depth
versus getting two players that are really good at the moment
So Doones A and Hampton are must-start players
Diggs is a borderline starter
Now he may ascend to a point where you regret this trade
And obviously you have McCaffrey
Positive now he's amazing
Negative is is he getting too much work
could he break down, but I think this is a great trade.
You're getting the best player on one side, and you're giving up, and the other side is getting
two quality stars.
Do you just mean it's a fair trade?
You don't, by saying it's a great trade, you're saying it's a fair trade.
Great trade from both sides.
Yes, fair trade.
Yeah, you're not saying it's a rip.
It's a great deal for the guy giving the cafe.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Oh, this last, last email here from Patrick.
He says, Adam, I know people gave you crap about the baked burger, but here's someone
advocating to boil them first.
And then he said...
Boil a burger?
Hold on.
He sent me a link to...
The account is Home Hacks and Easy Snacks on Facebook.
And they boiled the burger first.
Then they put it on the stove.
Okay.
They made a burger.
And I actually...
I think it looked good.
I couldn't really tell.
But they also put like a ton of butter on.
It might be a...
It might be something to look into here.
Well, they put it on the stove.
That's the key, right?
Like, I guess in a fron.
pan there's no real details to that anything's better than just putting a burger in an oven that's as
bad as it gets i would imagine but just a pure boil like imagine just eating a burger out of like
if you've ever ate boiled chicken it's one of the worst thing it's literally the worst way to eat chicken
like people do it if they're like in a super health mode and they want to like be cutting they're
like uh you know what i won't even put my chicken in a pan and fry it up where it and you know
make it taste decent a chicken breast i'll boil it and i've tried that before boiled chicken
Boiled chicken breast is among the worst tasting things you can have in your life.
It doesn't matter what seasoning you put on.
Is your roommate a Giants fan?
Yeah, he is, actually.
Oh, thank goodness.
He's going to stay.
Yeah, well, with the fridge, it is what it is.
You have taken over.
All right.
Well, I think it's that time now for the fantasy cops.
Here we go.
Chris in Kentucky is in a 12-team PPR league that's very competitive.
on Friday morning, news came out that Michael Carter,
cornerback for the Jets,
was ruled out by coach Aaron Glenn.
A fellow manager jokingly posted in the league group chat
saying, man, what a waste of fab,
and posted a screenshot of the notification
that Michael Carter was ruled out.
Well, this sent the manager that picked up Michael Carter,
the running back for the Cardinals,
in a frenzy to quickly add another player.
He dropped Michael Carter to pick up another running back
just a few seconds after he saw the notification screenshot in the group chat.
A couple managers notified him that it was not the Cardinals Michael Carter that was ruled out
and let him know the mistake he just made.
To make matters worse, the former Carter manager is the commissioner of the league, and he is
wanting to reverse the transaction.
What say you, fantasy cops, should he be allowed to reverse the transaction, or should this
be a lesson to do your own research and not make rushed decisions?
Yes, he can reverse the transaction.
That's so funny.
I think it's funny, but yeah.
You let him do it.
Unless you're Adam, the commissioner,
who would just pick up Michael Carter himself
and then say, screw you.
True, and leave him on my roster as an extra player.
Would you, wait, wasn't there a,
was there another David Johnson or something like that
that people used to do that with?
One of the best players in fantasy.
Oh, yeah, it was another, well, Adrian Peterson,
remember the Bears, Adrian Peter.
There was two Adrian Peterson's at one point.
Maybe.
People used to do that in auctions.
They would nominate.
Yeah, they would nominate the wrong Adrian Peterson.
I love that.
Reverse the transaction.
Next up, we have Ian.
Ian says, good afternoon, Andre, Robert, J.J. and Janice.
Absolutely no idea.
Wait, what was it?
Hey, hold on.
Say it again?
Andre.
I'm pretty sure I know what it was.
Okay, Andre, Robert, JJ, and Janice.
Never mind.
I just heard Janice and immediately thought Sopranos,
but none of those other Spranos characters.
My love, friends.
I'm out.
I'm out on this one.
I think this is Houston Texans Ring of Honor.
By the way, Adam, I'm surprised you didn't have anything to say to me
about my team name change in Bake Burger.
Dominant Dan Schneier, I changed it too.
It's one of the most disgusting brag moves you'll ever see in your life.
But considering I'm like 100 points ahead of most teams and points scored in 4-0.
I love this from you.
The last time you were on here bragging about your fantasy teams and next week,
both Adam and I beat you.
Well, Jamie, if you want to.
goes that far.
Jamie,
if you want to go
this direction,
Jamie, we can.
Because we can talk
about all our records
in the leagues I'm in
4 and 0 in the
auction league.
Where are Jamie?
Oh,
1 and 3.
Okay, what other leagues
do Jamie and I have
right now?
It looks like the
FFT's Dynasty
Superflex league.
Oh, you're doing good
in that one.
You're 4 and 0.
I'm 3 in 1.
But I'm 3 in 1.
Okay,
well, moving on to
this is bad radio,
but I need to talk about
all of these things.
I'm having a great year.
No, both 2 and 2 in the FFT League.
That's the one.
I'm not three in one or four and oh the super flex league the super flex real league on three
and one uh oh it's jamie not let no jamie's two and two is adam not listed okay adam two and
um and then yeah is there one more ffti the auction league again why would the league just not list
me why does the league not list me why would i just thought you were oh and four and i the page
only shows like the first 11 teams on this you got it doesn't come on all right it does not
show all that all right good very good name and yolo and you
Yolo. I'm three and one in that, but I had to change the team name because to,
uh, I take, it was long rebuild because I took over a terrible team and then I rebuilt it.
And then I turned into a short rebuild. And now it's back to long rebuild because I lost
because no neighbors, because unfortunately neighbors is now out for the year. But with that
set, I'm still three and one in Yolo. So what are you in Yolo?
Keep going to top. Are you a rebuilding team? Are you where's will? Yeah. Oh, wow,
four and overs. But still three and one right up there. This is the worst. This is the worst.
segment that I've ever heard.
I mean, the worst.
I mean,
it's just Dan bragging about his CBS teams,
but it looks in all four and oh or three and ones,
the exception of one,
two and two.
I believe there's one you were last in Wolfram.
No, not this year.
Not this year.
I do not like what's happening right now.
And I don't like this version of Dan.
I'm going to mute you both.
Correct.
Being in the seller of this league.
What?
In what, Yolo?
No, the guillotine league.
We were the first one out.
Oh, the guillotine league.
That we're going to talk about that league.
Fantasy.
Topps time. I'm the commissioner of a 12-team home league, and I need some help. We had a trade
accepted, D.K. Metcalf and Trayvion Henderson for Amon-Ross, St. Brown. We do majority votes
on the trades, so six vetoes, and the trade is nullified. Some people felt the trade was
lopsided. Again, it was D.K. Metcalf and Trayvion Henderson for Amon-Raw-St. Brown in a 12-team
league, and they began vetoing. The original Amon-Raw-St. Brown manager ended up
getting a better offer.
So he also wanted the trade to be vetoed
in order to receive more for Amonra St. Brown.
So it stood at five votes for a while
and then got a sixth veto vote.
I didn't pay attention to it
and the trade ended up going through.
But it shows that the six people vetoed the trade
and one of the vetoes was the manager,
the Amon Ra manager, who actually made the trade.
So I asked, yeah, I asked Chat GPT
to look through sleeper's rules
and also contact his sleeper support
and both of them said that a manager's vote on their own trade does not count.
So this makes complete sense to me as the commissioner.
It's just confusing that it would show it as having six votes if one was not going to count.
Of course, the manager who offered the better deal for Amunra is pissed off and wants the trade to be nullified or I guess go through.
This is the first time something like this has occurred, so we have no precedent.
Thank you.
So what should we do here?
Six votes or six vetoes are needed to veto a trade.
one of the six vetoes was of the manager that was involved in the trade.
Should we let it stand?
No chance.
Wait, I'm sorry, should we let the trade stand?
His veto cannot be allowed.
His veto should, that you cannot veto a trade that you are in.
This is also just like a classic example of why I don't believe in vetoing in leagues.
I think, A, every trade should go through.
And if you have any questions about a trade, then you need to consider removing managers from the league because it's either collusion or you don't believe these managers are fit to be playing.
the league um but this is a great example we can't just leave it up to because one thing i hate about
the leagues where you do let these like vetoes take down trades like it could be voted down with
six or seven vetoes um what are you putting that up for at him i don't have a teeth we go through
this we go through this no every week it's the same thing don't do vetoes don't do i know that
no because like it's not i don't like the idea of like if a person doesn't like a trade like
because a lot of people who veto trades when i'm in these leagues just veto it because they
think it's not it's going to help another team and doesn't and then doesn't help their
team it's a selfish reason for vetoing it and it's unfair but it's not the issue here like we know
everyone should know at this point that we only accept veto is basically for collusion or if it is
so lopsided that it's going to just disrupt the league or something so we would never veto this
trade of st brown for d k metcalf and travion henderson even though i think it's a terrible trade
we would never veto it but the question was can one manager's veto count if he's
involved in the trade.
And we are saying, no.
No.
If you're going to play in the league of Vitos, it probably should not be six.
You should probably just have it as five.
And the two people involved in the trade are not allowed to contribute.
Yeah.
Right.
That's a good way to do it.
All right.
Thank you guys.
Take a break.
Come back with Apple podcast questions, YouTube comments, and more.
We'll be right back.
Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure.
This fall, get double points on every quality.
qualified stay. Life's the trip. Make the most of it at Best Western. Visit bestwestern.com
for complete terms and conditions. I take it back. It should be six still if it's 10 people
voting. Yeah, you still want to get the majority, which they weren't even having anyway with the
6 of 12. I want to take a brief moment to apologize earlier for bragging about my teams in the CBS
Lees. But last year, there was a lot of talk on this podcast about a league. I was doing bad in,
all these bad records. I would never felt I got the floor to talk about the teams that were good.
So this year, as I'm crushing it across the board
and all the leagues we play in,
with the exception FFT, which I'm just two and two,
I need to at least air that out there.
So people know.
Good for you.
Thank you.
It's fun to have a good year.
It's early.
Let's keep that in mind.
I lost neighbors and it like,
it can go downhill fast.
So I need to at least enjoy it while it lasts.
Yeah, all right.
Okay, this question is from,
it says game three, Dan loses.
I don't get that.
But I got offered a trade.
My Chris Godwin and,
J.K. Dobbins.
What does that even mean?
No idea.
For C.D. Lamb.
I give up Godwin and Dobbins for Lamb.
Would you do it?
Godwin and Dobbins for Lamb.
I would want more for lamb, but again, if you're, you know, struggling at that point.
Oh, and four, one and three, you know, you need some help for this week.
No, no, he's getting lamb.
Oh, then absolutely.
Yeah, do it.
Yep.
This one is from Cade Cord.
I feel like my running backs are pretty good.
I have Taylor.
javanti hampton and marks but my wide receivers are not great i have lamb evans tyreek hill
brian thomas junior which wide receiver would you try and move to help my or which running back
which running back would you try and move to help my wide receivers that's taylor giovante hampton and
woody marks will be the first one i try and trade just because we don't know how good he'll be
long term i mean it's great that he did that against the titans he's probably going to do well against
the ravens they have a buy next week and then who knows what this
offense looks like coming out of the buy if he continues to be the lead running back.
But it would be either between him or Javante, you know, just capitalizing on the hot start
and or current performance for Marks, if you can turn those guys into solid receiving options.
I think it's up.
I think it's close for me.
Marks is definitely up there.
But for me, it would definitely be trying to trade with Marion over Javante.
Again, I'm very worried and concerned about the state of the Chargers offensive line
and how it moves forward.
They're already like 30th in yards created before last week, even before the injuries.
And I believe in Javante Williams.
I think we just did our rankings on Beyond the Box Board this week.
We re-ranked all the players.
Jacob and I both believe Javante is a borderline top 25 player rest of season.
And I don't really see any reason not to believe it at this point based on what he's done individually, how he looks on tape.
All of the situation is just as good as it gets for Javante.
I'm not sure any running back really besides McCaffrey has a much better situation rest of season.
Okay.
this is from
slinging Sean
the banter between everyone
flows so well
and all the fantasy vice
and the news in between
Adam's ridiculous takes
are probably the main
reason I listen
thank you
it's a compliment
of some sorts
yeah
there's no question here
okay
I was just giving you that
okay
I shouldn't have read that one
I'm sorry
from squid
I shouldn't have read the one that compliments me.
All right.
Yeah.
This one says,
classic,
classic,
this one says fantasy cops.
Jamie's opinion is superior.
But it also says,
crazy that Adam has this much energy
with no caffeine.
Yeah,
it is weird that you live life without caffeine.
I don't really understand it.
Alec Pierce ruled out.
Oh, interesting.
All right.
Adonai Mitchell's sleeper.
Fantasy cops,
I'm the commissioner in my league.
I sent a trade offer for CD Lamb
to come to me.
And I would give Cam
Scataboo and Matthew Golden.
He countered with Dak Prescott
instead of Matthew Golden, and I
accepted. So he basically
gave up Scadaboo and Dak
for Lamb. The whole league is
upset that this trade went through. What do you
think? It's full PPR if that matters.
One QB,
I assume. Yeah. Big difference.
Yeah, I mean, look,
it's a horrific trade, right?
Like, is there any way around it?
I mean, it's fine. I would pass it through, but it's
just a bad trade.
it's bad based on names it's not bad if you're stuck right now so if your quarterback situation's a mess
and obviously you can't play lamb and you can use scataboo at a running back or flex spot like
what's the records of these two teams like you know there are a lot of things that come to play here
when you're talking about giving up injured players or suspended players like in the case of rashi rice
i don't want my season to be lost because i'm waiting out cd lamb to come back yeah but
what's your season worth if you get a win or two now but then you're stuck with like scataboo
in a time share and Tracy on a bad offense and then we don't know when lambs coming back i agree with you
dan but like if if there was a definitive timeline like it seems like he's going to be back sooner
rather than later because he's out of the walking boot and trying to do some stuff at practice
at least individually but this could still be another four weeks of no cd lamb like yeah your fantasy
season may be done by then yeah that's fair i mean either way i think you're in a bad spot though
to me because if you're you're making the trade i guess it can help for now um Tracy not even
ruled out for this week though like what you know like it could get
get ugly fast. And what does Dak do for your team in a one QV league?
No, I totally agree. I think that the problem with a lot of fantasy managers is, and we're
guilty of this too, is you look at your team and two and two, one and three, oh, and four,
whatever the case may be. And you're like, wow, if I get this guy back or, you know,
this and this happens, I can win. But you get a trade offer. And instead of just saying, oh,
can I make this work with this manager or this trade makes sense? Because I love Scataboo for this
week. You be the aggressor.
you go out and make trade offers.
You know, like, this is supposed to be fun.
Right.
That's the bottom line why we do this.
Fantasy football is supposed to be fun.
And when you get off to a bad start because of people like us giving you bad advice
or player struggling or whatever the case may be while your fantasy season has gone south,
you have the ability to still make it an enjoyable experience if you can.
Now, it's not give C.D. Lamb away.
It's not give Rashi Rice away, Mike Evans away, anybody that's not helping you right now.
but you can turn that into something hopefully of significance.
I got a trade off for Adam, you referenced it the other day.
It was, I think I'm one in three in this league.
But again, I like my team, but one in three, just lost Tyree Kill and don't have CD Lamb.
So I got offered Jamar Chase and Tony Pollard for CD Lamb and Josh Jacobs.
And I can't play Jacobs this week and I don't have Lamb this week.
I hate the trade.
So I'm not going to accept it.
But now I need to turn around and try and see if I can trade C.D. Lamb for something that might be able to help me because otherwise, I'm done in that league.
Yeah.
So, like in your case, Dan, I know it's a dynasty league.
You lost Malik neighbors, right?
Right.
How can you still, as a three in one team, still make it to where you're competitive?
And so in that case, you're trading draft picks or you're trading, you know, young players for superstars.
Like, there's still ways to make this work.
Now, again, Scatibu and DAC for Lamb sucks.
on paper but four weeks of zero versus maybe a win or two you're still alive yeah i will say one
thing though on this yeah because that's important because i see this happen it's happened in my
home leagues happen in multiple leagues where people are panicking for the reasons you outline i think
you're 100% right jamie on what your core idea is here but make sure because nobody does this make
sure before you hit that accept button you shop to the league i'm giving away cd lamp can you beat this
offer it takes a few minutes of your time and nobody does this they just took the deal out with
somebody and then they put it through the league and i'm pressing it through and then people are like
why did that trade just happen and the reason it happened is because you were giving up a great
player and you didn't take the time to go through every person in the league and be like i'm about
to trade lamb here's what i'm getting can you beat this offer it takes no time to do that really
to you know a little bit of time but it's so worth it and it's not a bad you're not like doing anything
wrong you're doing the right i i agree with you and just think about the fantasy cops question
we got. The D.K. Metcalf, whatever it was, DK. and Trevion for Amarrest St. Brown, the guy vetoed it
because he got a better offer. Well, he didn't get the better offer until they were aware that he was
on the block. That he was on the block. And so I, you're, you're 1,000% right. When you're in
these type of situations, you can be transparent. And I know it comes across as you're being
desperate. Yes, you're desperate. Right. Because so what? You have 12 people, 11 people trying to make
you trades then. And someone will beat that offer. And you could leverage one offer in,
the other yeah all right last one is from kevin from antarctica oh about that dear wow
yeah he's probably got a lot of hoodies dear raphael there's a lot of there's a lot of weird
in an antarctic conspiracy there is if you have go down deep that rabbit hole i've never have
it's not one you want to go rabbit paella you don't watch movies but you know antarctica rabbit
holes that's interesting uh yeah had to see some weird youtube y files episodes all right raphael
Leonardo Donatello and Michelangelo
and that's probably listed in the
Oh, Game of Thrones.
Those are the Beatles.
12 team 2 point per reception league
Would you trade
Nico Collins for
either Jacoby Myers
and Devante Smith
or Quentin Johnston and Devante Smith?
Would you trade Nico Collins for
Devante Smith and either Jacoby Myers
or Quentin Johnson?
I think I'd rather have Quinn Johnson at this point.
He's looked so awesome.
Jacobi Myers has been good at times this year and a little unlucky.
I think last week was a little unlucky because of Gino Smith's two horrible throws that were targeted for him.
He had seven targets in that game.
But Johnston, like, with the way that he's playing at this point, the wheels could easily come off.
But Justin Herbert's dialed in with him, and I think that's a pretty good trade.
You'd rather have Quentin Johnston than Nico Collins, rest of season?
I'd rather have the combination if I need receiver depth, Quentin Johnston, and Devonthe
Smith than just Nico Collins.
But again, this is one of those deals we might better to do better.
Yeah, I'm keeping Nico personally in that.
And then as far as like if I need to move him, I'm probably looking for something better
just because it's so hard for me to get on board with either Devante Smith or Quintin.
The Johnson thing, I want to believe in, and I believe in the player, I'm just very, very
nervous about what's going to happen to this Chargers offense.
I think the situation is dire on the offensive line.
But he's not out for the year, Joe Alt.
I know.
It's not just Joe Alt.
They have injuries at other spots on the offensive line.
They have one guy who's out for the year.
It's not like they can't get healthier.
It might take a month.
And Zion Johnson looks terrible at left guard.
Nothing looks good on that line.
I get that.
But it looks better than the Texans.
Or they're both in horrible situations.
What I would do, I would try to get.
Can you get Johnson and Meyer?
That's exactly what I was going to say.
Johnston and Myers for Nico would be more interesting.
Nico's got some issues.
Nico had a busted coverage 50-yard touchdown.
this year.
Yeah, yeah.
No, Niko's not a good play right now.
Their offense line is just as bad.
They can't hit shot plays, and he's a little injured now, too.
Let's see what this one says from the chat.
Dan, I try the Hagen-Dow's coffee ice cream with the chocolate chips.
I drink coffee, so it was okay, kind of good to me.
I give it a 6-7.
The Hagen-Daz coffee's great.
That's one of the best coffies out there, but also there's coffee, coffee,
Buzz, Buzz, by Benjured.
There's, like, great coffee ice creams out there.
He gave it a 6-7.
You ever had Java chip?
Java chip is probably the best coffee there is.
I don't know.
It's more of a sweet version of a coffee ice cream, which is great.
Look, you've got to love coffee, I think, to like coffee, to love coffee ice cream.
I love coffee.
I love coffee. I don't know what I'm drinking cold brew right now.
This is from Nico.
Eilich, Iommanner, Isaiah Bond.
Okay.
Who's Tremaine?
The receiver for the Panthers.
Oh.
It's got to be a game.
Ayo Manor.
Yeah, Ion Manor.
Uh, is somebody in the comment, I've seen this in the comments a lot now. It's a six, seven thing. I don't know what the six, seven thing is at all. I have no idea what I didn't know until it came up on the show. Jamie said it. You have to have kids of a certain age. It's a kid. Okay, it's like a new thing. I'll tell you funny story. First time it came up with my kids, um, I said something, our baseball games go six or seven innings. And I was talking to the team. And I said something about, yeah, we'll go six or seven.
And they all responded, six, seven, six, seven.
And I thought they were, like, trying to be funny, like, like jerks.
And I just kept making them run.
I'm like, oh, you want to talk back.
Okay, go run.
And they were like, we were, it was a rain situation.
So we just kind of, they kept running around the batting cages.
And they kept coming back every time with six, seven.
I'm like, I keep going.
Are you serious?
You punish them for that.
Man, that's pretty tough.
I love that Jamie's that kind of coach is making.
Oh, I was pissed at the moment.
And they just, it was mostly my son talking back.
So I was like, all right, you're going to run.
Oh, wow.
Oh, look who's here.
Look who is here.
Former colleague Greg Urbano.
Wow.
Florida State graduate says,
Azar, what's your final score for FSU versus Miami tomorrow?
Ooh.
Not that I haven't been thinking about this for a month.
I'm going to say 3128 Miami.
Whoa.
I thought you were going to go way fewer points.
FSU's got the number one offense in the country.
They can really score.
So, but Miami's defense is good.
I think it's going to be really tough game, really tough game.
Now that we're at like the quarter-pull mark, have you thought any further on your comments from earlier this season about Garson Beck potentially being the number one overall pick in the 20-26 NFL draft?
I had the wrong hurricane because he's no chance.
Okay, okay, okay.
I could see him being a late first round pick, but I think you're still on the first round?
It's not a great quarterback class, unfortunately, unless Manning declares, but even he needs some words.
I'm going to need to make a bet.
I'm willing to put a lot on the line that he won't be a first round pick.
No, I wouldn't bet that.
His arm is completely shot.
That's not?
No.
People really like him.
Like, I see a lot of stuff on.
He has no mobility.
His arms is completely shot.
He can't really move it.
I watch football every week with a recently, recently fired, I guess.
General manager in the NFL, and he does not like him at all.
I don't really like him that much as a pro prospect either, but a lot of people do.
I see it all.
A lot of people.
Who's a lot of people?
I'm not going to say specifically because I don't honestly remember, but, like, analysts, people that you would know.
I don't remember specifically which guys, but football.
When did you read this, though, like 20, 20, 20, 23?
Every single week, they talk about Carson Beck being so underrated.
Remember, like I said, a year ago, preseason, he was the number one quarterback prospect for the NFL draft or two, depending on whose list.
And then he had a terrible year.
People like him.
I don't really like him that much in the NFL.
He was mostly number one because it was deemed.
to be a bad quarterback plus where no one at that point
as stand it out as stood out.
Like did you think, did you think,
I still don't think Jackson Dart should have been a first round pick.
He was not,
he's not a first round prospect,
but someone I think could take a chance on a guy like Carson.
Jackson Dart actually looks like he can play football.
Oh, it threw for 111 yards.
So convinced.
He is more likely to get hurt with his stupid style,
smacking people in the helmet.
He was throwing in.
I would take a bet on Jackson Dart over Carson Beck any day in my life.
And so will the NFL.
I guess he's got more athleticism.
The end of it will not be drafting Carson Beck in the first round.
I'm just saying, someone's, all right, Pitman or Camara, standard scoring.
Who do you like?
Pittman.
Pitman.
Pitman.
You're not, you're late on the music.
It's your thing.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Is that what you're looking for?
No, I'm looking for other questions.
Oh, okay.
Except the guy who keeps asking.
You got to learn.
When he's looking to his left, he's looking at the board.
When he's looking to his right, he's looking at questions.
When he's looking at his phone, it's because one of us said something that he's laughing at.
A.N. and Kittle or Hampton and McBride.
His shoulders get raised. He got all upset about something.
Oh, I love a shoulder raise. You know he's about to go off.
H.N. and Kittle or Hampton and McBride rest of season? PPR.
Oh, wow. A.N. and Kittle.
H.N. and Kittal for me. Big jump from H.N. to Hampton. I'd much rather H.N. than Hampton.
Okay. Start two. Kion Coleman, Trayvion Henderson. Michael Carter, Troy Franklin.
Start two. PPR.
The two running backs.
Coleman and Henderson
OPPR
Yeah
Okay, you're done
Woody, Marks or Amari D.
Coleman, I'm putting Coleman in there
with the matchup, I'm putting Coleman in there
Okay, Woody Marks or Amari Di Mercado?
Marks.
Marks, yeah, easy.
Start, Javante Williams,
Ken Walker, or David Montgomery?
Javante, always.
Yeah, Javante, easy.
There's no week I wouldn't start Javante.
I don't really know why you wouldn't at this point.
Yeah, everything is good.
It would have been last week and he came through.
Yeah.
I have a lot of backup running backs that became starter.
That's a great feeling.
Rashad White, Rico Dowdell, Mason and Demarcato.
What's the trade value for them?
Mason, I think, has the highest trade value, right?
And I think it's a great time to trade him with three offensive linemen down.
I don't know if anybody smart would be buying him, though, because you get the tough matchup this week, buy next week.
True.
Then one more week.
And then Jones is.
potentially back. I agree with you to sell him if you can. If you're trying to sell these guys,
I'd be selling White and Dowdell right now, mostly Dowdell if you don't need him because the
opportunity is great. That said, he should have a big game against the Dolphins. White could
have a good game against the Seahawks, especially with the report now that Bucky Irving may be out
for two weeks. So those would be the two that you're trying to shop and get the most maximum value
for. I don't agree. I don't agree with that.
All right, I'm sorry.
I don't mean to cut you off.
You're keeping those guys?
No, I just don't agree that you, no matter if you're playing smart managers,
I don't think you can get more value back for those guys than Mason.
Because those guys, I think anyone smart will be there, all right, whether one week
up plays or one or two week plays.
Mason, you can sell him on look.
He's been the workhorse here.
He's running good.
You talk about the points he scored in the past.
Like, he may be moving forward, like all this type of stuff.
You trade him to the Bucky Irving.
You trade Roshad White to the Bucky Irving manager.
You trade RICO Dado to the Chuba Hardman.
How much you're going to get back for that?
You might get a number three.
receiver okay or you try and trade for those guys if they don't have anybody that they need
somebody this week harvey or my or uh michael carter this week ppr carter yeah harvey
two running backs r j harvey sean tucker or michael carter uh i would go carter and harvey in
that order yeah harvey car so sit tucker all right so then i need two flex tucker jacobie meyers
slayton jaylin tollbert meyers and slayton yeah
Full PPR, yeah, it has to be Slayne of Myers.
Would you trade Brian Thomas Jr. for Rishi Rice?
Yes.
In a heartbeat.
Yeah, in a heartbeat for me as well.
Hold on. I'm just looking for questions.
I'm a huge rice guy, though.
Did this one.
Do I trade C.D. Lamb and Michael Carter for Giovante Williams.
In full BPR.
So again, if you're stuck this week, yes.
Mm-hmm.
Something or doubt.
I mean, listen, if Dan's right about Javante, which is hard to.
argue that he's not based on what we've seen from him.
Like, you're getting a superstar.
Sutton or Doubtle.
It's crazy to think about, but you kind of are.
No one would have thought this is possible, but
he basically is a fantasy superstar.
He's in almost every down. He's in all red zone.
He gets receptions from DAC.
They're an insane game script every week where he's
scoring a ton of points, and their offensive line is good.
Sutton or Dowdell?
Sudden.
Yeah, Sutton.
And finally, sit one.
Ooh, look at that pizza.
Sit one.
And Marks, Woody Marks, Travis, ETN, or Ken Walker?
We have to make sure we're talking about the right ETN at this point.
But yes, I would assume it's Travis.
Yeah, I'll sit marks.
I'm setting Walker.
I'll sit marks.
I'll play Walker.
Okay, can I make a bold prediction?
Yes.
I'm going to end it with this.
So I don't want anybody to take this as fantasy vice.
Because I believe, I agree with what Dave and Jamie said about Bo Nix.
you should probably be conservative with him and sit him.
Okay.
I feel like Bo Nix is going to have a great game
and the Broncos are going to put up a big number
and beat the Eagles this week.
I don't know if that's bold,
but I got this gut feeling.
Bo Nix is not...
Can I bet against that?
He's not a very good...
If he sits in the pocket, he's not that great.
But he makes enough of these off-script great plays.
I think he's going to do that one or two times,
and the Broncos are going to have a big game here
and give the Eagles their first loss of the year.
Bo Nix, we went over this week on Beyond the Box score,
has had 4.7 seconds to throw in the pocket the most by far in the NFL,
and he has the worst on target rate on downfield throws this season.
Did you say, did you said time to throw in the pocket or time to throw in general?
Yeah, I know you're saying if he gets out of the pocket,
but most plays are from within the pocket.
Like how many times to get out of the mobile guys always lead in time to throw
because they scramble around.
I didn't know if that was.
It hurts is up there too.
He's like next.
All right, well, you heard it here first, folks.
I'll bet the Eagles, and that.
That's probably the smart thing to do.
Yeah.
But better chance that Bonix has a big game than the Giants win by two or three scores.
I will tell you that.
No, I disagree.
Okay, let's do that.
Giants are going to win this game by two or three scores,
and I'm going to roll into Thursday night football like we could potentially beat the Eagles,
the dumbest thing I could possibly ever think.
Look at that.
All right, folks.
Have a great weekend.
We will talk to you on Sundays.
