It's time for your Saturday Mailbag, or Friday if you're cool and watching on YouTube. So we've got your questions on Apple Podcasts, we've got your Fantasy Cops questions, and we have your emails. Email address is fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. I'm Adam Azer with Chris Towers. If you're watching on youtube you already know that chris in san diego has our first apple podcast question he needs to start two wide receivers and a flex not sure how to approach it so yeah right before we started you said oh i need to send you the notes what

i said oh you did hey come. That's into the wrong inbox. What the heck? I don't know why that's happening. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That's technology's fault, Adam, not yours. Well, look, yesterday

I tweeted the link that was not to the stream, but it was to StreamYard. Well, it was to be in the stream. Yeah, it was to the program we used to broadcast, so people could have jumped on the stream with us. So I thought I emailed the notes

to the wrong person. That's good. And the notes happened to... There were a bunch of emails and also me talking trash about everyone else at the company. So it just had to go to Chris and no one else.

If you're wondering, hey, where are the news and notes? That was on a bonus pod that we recorded on Friday, so please check that out. It's already published. All right, Chris in San Diego needs a wide receiver, two wide receivers and a flex.

He's got Thielen, Robert Woods, Tyler Lockett. Oh, my gosh. I didn't even talk about DK Metcalf. I didn't see an update on DK Metcalf. He's got a foot injury, right? Yeah. Hopefully, we'll see something right now as it's still Friday afternoon.

Allen Robinson was upgraded to limited today. That's one thing I did see. We probably don't. It's 220 right now. We probably don't have anything on DK Metcalf. I did just see Julio Jones is practicing for the third straight day. So expecting him to make his return. All right.

Here's the question. I'm sorry. Thielen, Woods, Lockett need two of them. Thielen and Woods. And then Lockett or Latav of them. Thielen and Woods. And then Lockett or Latavius Murray or Damian Harris. Oh, man. I don't like any of those guys,

but I think it's got to be Lockett. Yeah, I think so. Would you like Lockett better or worse if Metcalf did not play? Better. Better. Okay. Yeah. From The Jam Man. 10-team PPR. Oh oh another one we didn't mention by the way terry kill was limited today andy reed didn't commit to him playing but he sounded optimistic

and i just want to say if hill was out i i don't think you would move me cole hardman much up your rankings personally that would be for me maybe he's in the wide receiver three range yeah that's what I thought I mean that's right he's played five games without Tyree killing his career he's averaged 10.3 uh PPR points per game his 16 game pace on targets was 77 in those five games it's not like running back you know like it's not like the wide receiver one goes down and the wide receiver two just steps up wide receivers still have to earn the targets they get. They still have to get open. Somebody's going to get those targets, though.

What's that? Somebody's getting those targets, though, because Demarcus Robinson was pretty good without one game. It's like an all-gold Kelsey, but... Byron Pringle? No, look, I'm in complete agreement with you. He's not a must-start.

Yeah, I think he'd be like a low-end wide receiver three or wide receiver four range, which is a little higher than where I have him now, but not a must start, but yeah, I think he'd be like a low end wide receiver three or, or wide receiver four range, which is a little higher than where I have him now, but not a ton. Okay. The question from the jam man, it's a trade. Give up chase Edmonds,

Damian Williams, chase Claypool and Justin Jefferson, chase Edmonds, Damian Williams, chase Claypool and Justin Jefferson. Get Dalvin cook, Alexander Madison and Mike Jefferson. Chase Edmonds, Damian Williams, Chase Claypool, and Justin Jefferson. Get Dalvin Cook, Alexander Madison, and Mike Williams. So if we look at this...

I get the idea. What's that? I get the idea. Yeah. If you don't need the depth, then I think it's okay. But you're giving up two starting running backs and two starting wide receivers

for one starting running back and one starting wide receiver. I don't think you're... Yes, you're getting three players back, but you're getting one starting running back out of Dalvin Cook and Alexander Maddis. Well, I guess you're giving up... You might only get one week out of Damian Williams, though,

because obviously he's not starting this week. And then I don't know when Montgomery's coming back. You probably get more than one week. Yeah, I mean I think after the week nine buys the most likely so probably week 10. So he's still got probably two more games after this one. Okay. This is fine. Oh, I'm sorry.

Good. Yeah, I and you're downgrading wide receiver while giving up chase Claypool. I as good as Dalvin Cooks slash Alexander Madison are, I think that's probably not worth doing. Next question is from Obi Wan Mahomi.

Would you trade Daryl Williams for Miles Gaskin in a PPR league? No. And then pick one. AJ Brandon cooks chase Claypool or Kadarius Tony and your bro not for me I I just like these other guys a lot I like them all too I mean cooks and Claypool are both top 24 wide receivers for me and Tony's top 30 but I'm we had this argument yesterday but I haven't

been given enough reason to think AJ Brown is not a guy you start against every matchup okay I'll take Cooks or Claypool Cooks or Claypool unless you think he's just not healthy which no I it's not that I just think that he's not gonna be

great every week and this is could be his toughest matchup of the year. Was there any matchup that you could have envisioned where you wouldn't have started AJ Brown? Was there any matchup that I could have envisioned where I wouldn't start Tyreek Hill or Terry McLaurin? Right. They shut those

guys down. Well, not really. They did at 60 yards, 70 yards. It was Terry McLaurin, Brandon Cooks, not really like that. They did 60 yards 70 yards. That's I was here. McLaurin Brandon cooks. Yeah and Tyree kill Tyree kill and there was one other Deontay Johnson 30 yards and Deontay Johnson. Those

four guys averaged 10.3 targets per game 10.3 fantasy points per game. Yeah, they weren't efficient but if you tell me AJ Brown's going to get a bunch of targets like he's the kind of player who needs one catch and run. So does Tyree Kill. And Tyree Kill didn't get it, but that doesn't mean Tyree Kill

couldn't have got it. Yeah, but what I'm saying is you've got other good options here. So it's not an outright sit. Alright, I would go with I guess Claypool, Stinkin' Ross. It's not like Chase Claypool is a can't-miss player.

Ben Roethlisberger is still his quarterback. Yeah, I guess. And Davis Mills is still the quarterback for Cooks. I'll go Claypool because he basically has been can't-miss when Juju's been out this year. And Seattle's just awful in the secondary. All right, next up, Big Dog Wyatt. Grade the trade.

Give up Kamara and A.J. Brown. Get Gibson and Justin Jefferson. No. Pass. F. I'll say C. It's not an F, but yeah, I think it's D because I think Kamara's a lot better than Gibson

and I don't think the gap between Brown and Jefferson is that big moving forward. From GHF, Tyler Lockett for jamar chase uh you give up chase i don't think so you give up locket for whoever's giving up chase you want chase right yes yes get chase from go pack go must be an n State Wolfpack fan, I think. Says, hey, Jenkins, Newton, and Meyer, and Pouncey. Yeah, those are Gators. Gross. Should I start Miles Gaskin or Kadarius Toney? Full PPR.

Oof. I think I probably have Miles Gaskin ranked higher. I don't feel good about it, but yeah, him. Tony for me. Win Chris. Love the show. Question about starter sit. I'm really questioning myself.

Am I just going gaga over Kadarius Tony? And I am. Should I be? I don't know. All right. Win Chris wants to know. Starter sit for a second running back. It's a standard scoring league.

Gaskin, Khalil Herbert. Gaskin, Khalil Herbert. Well, yeah, because Dalvin Cook's going to play, so Alexander Madison wouldn't be an option. I would go with Khalil Herbert there. Khalil Herbert is a top. Now he's,

I think, 18 or 17 still at running back. Yeah, sorry. Chuba Hubbard, 16 from Latter-day Saints is in the New Orleans Saints. I am 0 and 5

in my dynasty league and the manager. Rough start. I don't know what that means. 0 and 5, my dynasty league thoughts on the following. I was offered

Jalen Waddle, Trey Sermon, and a 2022 second round pick for Kareem Hunt and KJ Osborne. I think it's fine. I think Jalen Waddell is going to be a pretty good Dynasty wide receiver. I'm very excited to see what happens with Tua back this week.

And I just don't know how much value kareem hunt has in dynasty now that you know he signed the extension last season and we know he's going to be in cleveland for the long haul we know he's going to be a a starting fantasy running back but not necessarily you know there's not necessarily superstar upside i don't know if there is that for trace sermon either um but i think that's probably worth doing because kj osborne i don't think there's much there i'm a little worried about sermon though no oh yeah no i don't like him you have to make this trade with uh the idea that it's just for waddle basically yeah i think sermon and a 2020 second round pick like those are both god bless you you didn't hear that those are no okay those are both um those are both i think just sort of flyers at this point but when you're on five like get as many bites of the apple as you can and look i mean sermon there's something called the revealed preference theory in economics that people can say they prefer one thing or the other, but the way they spend their money is what they actually prefer is the basic theory behind it.

And Trey Sermon was the number four, I mean, maybe number five running back coming into the season, number four running back, at least for the 49ers. We don't know what it would have been if Jeff Wilson had been healthy so turns out they weren't lying because when Elijah Mitchell came back Trey Sermon played two snaps I think Trey Sermon could break out into a bigger role we see that all the time in the San Francisco offense but right now yeah I think he's you're looking at him as just a flyer okay the last Apple podcast question is from a person with a name, like a screen name, whatever you want to call it. It just felt wrong to me. It felt dirty to me. And luckily, Chris was talking about sermon. I had time to look it up. Did you know what that meant? No. I'd never heard of it before. That feels like an old English word. Yeah,

it's really disgusting. So I'm not going not gonna read it but it's very funny uh i feel like i should share it i kind of want to share it i mean can i can i read this there's a word of the day blog yeah i saw that yeah yeah uh and uh so this cumber is a verb uh be scumber is how you pronounce it. It means to discharge or order or dung upon. And the blog post says, what a perfect threat. It literally means to spray with poo.

Yes, to discharge poo upon. Bescumbering. Okay. Give up AJ Brown, get Hollywood Brown. That's really close. That's really, really close. I would Give up AJ Brown. Get Hollywood Brown. That's really close. That's really, really close. I would go with AJ, but I think they're

both top 15 wide receivers rest of the season. Oh, yeah, they are, but here come the fantasy cops. Chris is grooving, and we've got your questions. Now, your fantasy cops disputes. Okay, first one comes from a city that is hosting or that hosted the 2010 Olympics.

I don't have a name, though. But I don't know. Wasn't that London? Sure. Was 2010 the Summer Olympics? Yeah. Yeah, it was London. No, 2010 couldn't have been. Yeah, it was London. No, 2010 couldn't have been.

No, 2008 was Beijing. 2012 was London. 2010 was... No idea. Somewhere in Canada. Soaky. Sure. Hey, Ray, Chris, Ed, and Terrell.

Terrell Davis. Terrell Davis? Terrell Davis. I think these are... I think these are Broncos. I'm not sure. No. No? Ray, Chris.

Those are Ravens defensive players. Oh. Ray Lewis. Oh, Suggs. Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs, and Chris. Someone. Chris. Chris Harris?

No. No? I don't think so. It's Chris. Someone. I'll figure it out. Oh, God. Chris Harris? No. No? I don't think so. It's Chris. Someone. We'll figure it out. Oh, God. I should know that.

Okay. So, anyway. Vancouver, by the way. The Cove. There you go. Ten teams, super flex. Two flex league. Good friends.

Pretty competitive. At the draft, I took Najee Harris and Austin Eckler with my second and third picks, knowing they were both week seven buys. And then I continued to compile week seven buys, deciding to go short that week for a competitive advantage other weeks as we have a short five-person bench with zero IR spots. I mentioned my intentions at the live draft, and there was no issue at the time.

Where the problem persists, in week five, the commissioner decided to put to a vote that you must set a legal lineup and cannot have any players on by or I are in your starting lineup. And now failure to do so would be an automatic loss and a monetary fine. Everyone voted and the notion was passed. I actually liked the rule, but I feel like it's being brought up solely to punish me. You can't do that mid season.

You can't do that. What's the point? Why do it at all? He's already getting an automatic loss, basically. His whole team's on by. I do have some anti-tanking rules in one of my league, and you do have to set a legal lineup, and the shenanigans that Heath and Dave

are pulling in our IDP Dynasty League have made me furious. But you can't change that rule midseason. If this guy drafted specifically with the intention of having a bunch of guys on by in one week, which I think is a logical and reasonable strategy, then yeah, you can't do that. You can't change that rule midstream and

like whatever to make him take an auto loss i don't care he's going to lose anyway with all those guys on by with eckler keenan allen naji harris mike williams kirk cousins like all those guys on by that you're gonna have to take you're gonna lose anyway but like a monetary fine come on that's ridiculous you can't do that mid-season. I think that must have been Chris McAllister at cornerback for those Baltimore Ravens. That makes sense. Alright, so that's one.

Fantasy Cops. Number two from Andrew H. from Cincinnati. Hey Joe, Joe, T and Jamar. Yes. 1993 Dallas Cowboys. Now those are Joe, Joe, T, and Jamar. 1993 Dallas Cowboys. No, those are Bengals.

Dynasty league that I co-run. A league mate got married a couple of weeks ago. He asked me to give him seedy lamb instead of a wedding gift. My wife said I should do it, but ultimately we decided to give the happy couple cash instead as a gift. At the wedding, I heard that he asked another guy in our league to do something similar, but he declined as well. I assume this would have been considered collusion, but is it? Or is it just a good, cheap way to get out of paying for wedding gifts? It's collusion.

You can't do that. Yeah, I think it's so funny. But if you're fine with it you know that like ultimately it depends on what your league wants it's really funny give me personally give me the cash i made the mistake of getting married very young when none of my friends had any money so we didn't really get a lot we were 21 we didn't get a lot of wedding gifts oh i look at like some of my friends who get married now and they're like, oh, we did a down payment on a house with our wedding. And it's like, whoa, excuse me.

Holy cow, that's quite a wedding. I paid for textbooks. So you get invited to a wedding with your wife. I don't know if I could even ask this. What gift do you give? Cash. Yeah, but how much? Oh, it depends how close we are i should have asked that that's a that's a messed up question but no yeah to feel like if

if you know like obviously if you invited me we're somewhat close sometimes right that invite where you're like really but with your wife too right i mean that then you you know you get invited as well no you get one gift. That's one of the great things about getting married. It's one of the crappy things about getting married is you only get one gift at Christmas and stuff, but you're not getting a present from both me and my wife. No, but I would give more money if it were me and my wife. No?

Okay. It also depends on what part of my life I'm in. When I was like 26... Yeah, right now. More than when I was 26. Yeah. I remember I went to one of my best friend's wedding and me and my other best friend.

Cameron Diaz? Yeah. No, she's not at my best friend's wedding, is she? Oh, is she the... She's the one that gets left? Or Julia Roberts or whatever? I don't know. I haven't seen it.

Okay. So, maybe you saw five minutes of it. I promise. We agreed. Me and my friend agreed to give the same amount of money. And I intentionally gave $1 more. And I told the person getting married, I was like, I'm giving you $1 more because we agree.

Yeah, so you can always do that. You can always one-up your friend. Be the generous one. All right, this is from Carter. I'm in a company league with 10 people. I propose the trade to send Aaron Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Kadarius. All right, I got to lower this here. Here's the trade.

I give up Aaron Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Kadarius Tony in return for Dalvin Cook. My coworker and I talked, and he decided to accept the trade. I give up Aaron Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Kadarius Tony in return for Dalvin Cook. My coworker and I talked, and he decided to accept the trade. Aaron Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Kadarius Tony for Dalvin Cook. Our trades are vetoed by LeagueVote, which is the dumbest option ever, but whatever. The trade is obviously fair and almost benefits him more than me, in my opinion. The only reason I did it is because Cook is still good,

and this way, my two starting running backs don't have the same bye week. The same day it got accepted, my coworker decided he wanted to change his mind and told other members to veto it so it wouldn't go through. So instead of collusion to stack my team, there was collusion from everyone else against me. I said that this is stupid and you can't take it away because you just changed your mind.

What do you think should happen? Thank you for your help. So one, I think they did you a favor. i don't think that's a good trade for you you gave up too much to get dalvin cook who i mean will probably be a top three running back rest of season maybe but you know this ankle injury is a little concerning agreed given especially with the rest of his injury history um but if the league rule is that you vote to veto trades, which you shouldn't, that's a dumb rule. I agree with him.

There's nothing wrong with politicking. There's nothing wrong with glad handing. You can't tell people to veto the trade. Sure you can. Oh, wow.

You can campaign. No, I don't know. What is this? I'm not saying you can pay people but like shaking some hands kissing some babies there's nothing wrong with that that's as old as that's as that's as you're involved in the trade as old as american democracy i don't think this is well american democracy has been dirty since the beginning of time what are we encouraging here exactly Exactly. I don't know.

Fantasy cops don't like it. I think it's wrong. I think it's messed up. But I do think Chris is right. Let them do it because you paid. You overpaid. All right. That's it for the fantasy cops.

When we come back, your email is fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. And I will try to sneeze during the break. We'll be right back. It's the season for new styles. And you love to shop for jackets and boots. So when you do, always make sure you get cash back from Rakuten. And it's not just clothing and shoes. You can get cash back from over 750 stores on electronics, holiday travel, home decor, and more.

It's super easy. And before you buy anything, always go to Rakuten first. Welcome back, everybody. Finishing up our show with your emails. From Travis in Houston. Half point PPR, four point per passing touchdown league. Grade the trade. Give Kyler, Carson, and Pitts. Get Hurts, Mixon, and Kelsey. So Kyler to Hurts.

Carson becomes Mixon, and Pitts becomes Kelsey. Big upgradesler to Hurts. Carson becomes Mixon and Pitts becomes Kelsey. Big upgrades at running back and tight end. Downgraded. Yeah, I would do this in a heartbeat, actually. Yeah, I think that's like a B plus, maybe an A. It's a downgraded quarterback,

but Jalen Hurts is real good. He had 27 points last night and he didn't even play all that well. He's real good in fantasy that's as far as i'll go look man look all i'll say is let's throw up jalen hurts first like nine starts or whatever it is and compared to josh allen's first nine starts i bet you jalen hurts is better probably but that but allen wasn't good right it doesn't mean he's gonna be bad forever but like this like idea that like oh Hurts is going to suck forever.

Come on. No, it's way too early to say that. He's got to get the rest of the season. He's not a very good quarterback, I'd say, at the moment. But he's good for fantasy. That's what matters. So, next email.

Beckham or Chenault or Brandon Bolden, PPR? Yeah. That was from Devin, by the way. So this is easy for me. I'll go Chenault. I'm going Beckham. Chenault is a good example of that Tyree kill me Cole Hardman thing where DJ Chark goes down

and we're like, oh man. And Chenault's playing basically the exact same role, the exact same snaps, the exact same route share. Jamal Agnew is suddenly the number two wide receiver for the Jaguars.

I have not a lot of faith in Odell Beckham, which really means I don't have a lot of faith in Baker Mayfield, but I have more faith in him than Chenault this week. I guess the only thing is Chenault had two games basically without Chark because Chark got hurt on the first possession, I think. Right.

And Chenault had his best game. Yeah, he did, but a lot of that was on one broken play. But didn't he have like seven catches or something? Right, right. But like more than half of his yards came on that one broken play. And last week,

he had the 158-yard catch, one that came like with 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and it was his first target. And it was a 19-yard catch that he turned into a long play. That's what he really good yeah that's what he's gonna do right but he only had three targets oh it's a bad game okay that's not an easy question these guys stink they were actually really valuable targets because two of them were end zone targets and one was the

58 yard run but one of them was also with, I think, seven seconds left on the clock. You know, I guess if Landry doesn't play, Beckham, you know, I could be convinced. If Landry plays, I'd still go Chenault. Whatever. It's not Bolden. That's the bottom line. Jordan from Canada. Hey, Affleck, Schrager, Stiller, and Gretch. Those are people who love

Dunkin' Donuts. What? Do any of them? Are you not aware of the Ben Affleck Dunkin' Donuts thing? No, I am not. Oh, man. You missed one of the pandemic's greatest cultural touchstones. Really? Pictures of an increasingly sullen and beaten Ben Affleck

picking up his Dunkin' Donuts from Uber Eats every morning. It's fantastic. It's like just... Just looks miserable. Just like smoking a cigarette. Just like looks like the weight of the world is on his shoulders as he's like bending over to pick his bag of Dunkin' Donuts up.

It's like the world is bescumbering Ben Affleck. All right, the question from Jordan. I just made this trade. I give up Amari Cooper, Zach Moss, and Tyler Higbee for Darren Waller and Emmanuel Sanders. Yeah, I think that's a B+. I really like that. Okay.

From Ra Joe. Yeah, Joe is, I don't know where he's from. Josh Jacobs, Melvin Gordon, or Andre Stevenson this week? Oh, Josh Jacobs, as long as he plays. Rondell Moore or Tim Patrick? That one's closer. I think I would go with Patrick. From Elton.

Pick two. Robert Woods, Jamar Chase, Deontay Johnson. Man. Yeah, ouchouch ouch I think I'm sitting Robert Woods from Dina I think all three of them are top 16 for me Dina says I currently have feeling in the flex but I could put Pittman Higgins or Sutton there should I take out feeling for Pitt Pittman, Higgins, or Sutton? And standard scoring.

I think I have all three of those guys ranked higher than Adam Thielen. And I have... I have Pittman ranked highest. From John, what are the odds that Heath shows up for the Sunday recap on Halloween wearing a Chiefs jersey? Well, what would the costume be on Halloween wearing a Chiefs jersey? Well, what would the costume be?

He's a Chiefs fan, I guess? That's not a costume. Yeah, but you know he's not going to wear a costume. He likes costumes. We should all wear costumes that day. Let me tell you something about Heath, okay? Heath likes Halloween. You don't get dressed up for Halloween parties

if you don't like Halloween. This is a thing. This is an image thing for him. Heath is... He has cultivated an image where he doesn't like a lot of things. He doesn't like the Muppets is one of his things. He doesn't...

And look, God bless. We all have our things I don't like Christmas yes you do no I really don't what no

I like candy canes I like having a Christmas tree that's the one but as I get older just the expectations of Christmas and the family stuff it's just too much

it gives me anxiety oh yeah especially because especially now that I have to travel are you kidding me and it's during football season, it's just too much. It gives me anxiety. Oh, yeah, especially because... Especially now that I have to travel. Are you kidding me? And it's during football season, so it's not like we're just off. So I get that.

Unfortunately, that's Thanksgiving now, but you don't like Christmas? I love Christmas. I love all of the good cheer, and I love how happy everybody is. I saw somebody tweet the other day like oh when can we start playing Christmas music and I was like

Well I don't like Christmas music. It's coming. And I also don't like Christmas trees. That's the worst part of Christmas. I love a Christmas tree. I'm responsible for the tree carrying it up the stairs. Taking it out. Well no she puts water in it and decorates it. I'm responsible for the removal and the purchasing

and the carrying of the tree. So like 12 minutes of work. Yeah, I hate it. I hate it. Okay. I literally drop it down from my second floor onto the driveway.

Okay, anyway, from Sean in Saskatchewan, Dear Laurent, Chase, Nikhil, and Chuba. I guess those are Canadian players. They are. Give up DJ Moore and Noah Fant. Get Kelsey and Thielen. Ooh.

I think that's a B+. Yeah. From Mason. I'm in a three receiver flex league i have cup feeling julio claypool and miles sanders fighting for those four spots this is not a start or sit question should i just use sanders for bi-weeks or try to package two of the non-cup guys for a stud like digs or ridley so again he has feeling jul, Julio, Claypool, Miles Sanders, and Cooper Cup.

So do you think he should kind of keep his depth or try to package Julio and Claypool for Diggs or something like that? I don't mind the idea of packaging guys to get a high upside player. But the one concern I would have is I do think Julio and Claypool in particular still have quite a bit upside player. But the one concern I would have is I do think Julio and Claypool in particular still have quite a bit of upside.

I could see both of those guys being top 15 wide receivers if things go right, in which case having both of those guys might be better than Diggs or Ridley, although having Diggs or Ridley is obviously a really fun thing as well. So let's see, I would say,

wait this week and see, you know, how Julio looks, how Claypool looks, what kind of role he's got. Yeah. You know what? I would never package Julio and Claypool.

It would be somebody in feeling. Yeah. I think that would have to be the thing. Just, I, I feel like, and maybe this is wrong. Maybe this is stupid. Maybe it's Julio and Claypool could

be anything they could even be Stefan Diggs except they don't have that kind of upside but um yeah I I think I wouldn't do it but that might be really stupid no what Julio and Claypool for Diggs is that what you're saying yeah not doing it could be stupid no I I wouldn't do it either receive a rest of seasons it's probably going to be pretty what Julio and Claypool for digs. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Not doing it could be stupid. No, I, I, I wouldn't do it either. Receiver rest of seasons. It's probably going to be pretty,

I wouldn't do it either though, because we are in the bi-weeks now and you're going to, you, you need the depth, especially in a three receiver league. It's not that clear cut. Okay. Anyway,

uh, yeah, this is from, who are you? Patty from Richmond, Virginia. So, full PPR. I need two running backs.

Yes, from Richmond. What's that? It says the home of Arthur Ashe. I was trying to remember where he's from. Yeah, Richmond. Joe Mixon, you're starting him. Don't worry about the work. They said he's going to have a full workload.

So, who's the second running back in full PPR? Daryl Henderson, Chase Edmonds, Javante Williams, Khalil Herbert. Oh, and you can, and a flex too. And Sterling Shepard. So now we need one running back and a flex Henderson, Edmonds, Javante, Khalil Herbert, Shepard. Henderson and I was Edmonds? Yeah. Henderson, Edmonds, and Mixon would be the guys. Mark in the Shark Bite capital of the world.

Hmm. Those are delicious. Is that where they make the gummies? Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Love the white one. Oh, so good. 10-team half PPR,

three receivers, two flex. I gave up Damian Harris and Amari Cooper. I got James Robinson fine with it. I think that's a B and from read start one Miles Gaskin Robert Woods Khalil
