Starting point is 00:00:00 You know, some trips are just better when you can really unplug. Spend time with family, see friends, or hit the course with the guys on our yearly golf trip. This year, me and the boys stayed in a home on Airbnb, which happened to be a guest favorite, and it was right on the course. We could walk straight to tee off every morning, and it was just a short stroll to the local shops, bars, and restaurants. Staying in a place on Airbnb gives you plenty of room to spread out, cozy living areas to hang out in, and all the privacy you need. Staying somewhere like that makes everything feel more like a home than a hotel, and you get a real feel for the neighborhood. I'm already planning on how to go bigger and better next year. Luckily, there's so many options to choose from on Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:00:43 So whether it's family, friends, or golf getaway, my biggest tip is to check out Airbnb, check out their guest favorites, which are the most loved homes on Airbnb, and you'll be amazed at what you find.

Let's talk about starts and sits for week 12 and some trades. We still have some trades to grade. We still have some fantasy cops to get to.
Starting point is 00:01:58 But we do not have dance. Dan Schneier, so Jamie, you will have to make some ridiculous takes throughout the show. Where do we think Dan is now? I know where he is. So do I, but I mean, we have to make fun. Oh, okay. Please submit your best answers. Where is Dan not on today's show?

So, all right, this is fantasy football today, presented by BEDMGM, make it legendary. Oh, I know where Dan is. I know where Dan is. Oh, care to share it with the class?
Starting point is 00:02:43 I'll save it for the end. Okay. And I want nothing but legendary questions in the chat, like this one. Patriots DST or Brown's DST? Brown's DST for me. Gino Smith is going to struggle with. that offensive line in front of him and Miles Garrett coming after him. So
Starting point is 00:03:02 I think the Browns DSD should be fantastic. Okay. How about Browns DST or Packers DST? Browns DST. I think the only TSD I have ranked ahead of the Browns this week would be the Seahawks. Okay. We do have some news by the way on Jackson Dart.
Starting point is 00:03:20 We'll get you that. Dan is churning butter for his coffee. What is all these DST Key questions. Patriots or Jaguars? This is a close one. If it's Joe Flacco, I would go with the Patriots. If it's Joe Burrow, I'd go to the Jaguars. Pearsall or Addison, PPR?
Starting point is 00:03:43 I'd go Pearsall. Dan is at a Dad Jokes seminar. Yes, he could definitely use that. How about Algier? I don't find it funny. I don't know what's funny. Yeah, I know. Was that supposed to be funny? Am I supposed to laugh at that? Algier, Fanon, or Burden?
Starting point is 00:04:01 I would go Fanon and PPR. I'd go Alger or none or half. Ken Walker or Alec Pierce, half, or full PPR. Close. I'd go Walker. Dan is inventing another new sandwich, which has existed for a hundred years. I got to tell you, I invented ham and cheese. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Yeah, I go into the restaurant. I say, oh, give me a ham sandwich. You know what? throw some cheese on there. Yeah. Okay. That's what else you got. Flacco or Bryce Young?
Starting point is 00:04:35 I'd go Flacco. Yeah, and Burrow. He also has Burroughs, so start Burrow. Yeah, Bengals quarterback over Bryce Young. I did see your avatar with my shoulders all up there. Good job. Judkins, Jalen Warren or Ken Walker, PPR? Warren, if he's good to go, Walker, if he's not.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Pick two of these. items. Daniel Jones is warming up. Looks like he's fine. And Dylan Gabriel returned to practice today, but obviously not starting. Pick two of these quarterbacks. Flacco, Taylor, Rudolph. I would go with Flacco and Taylor. Over Mason. You go with Tarad Taylor over Mason Rudolph? Well, okay. Hertz or Purdy? No, I'm sorry. I read that for some reason in my head is Bryce Young. I would go with Rudolph over Tarot Taylor. Okay, that's what I thought. So Flacco and Rudolph.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Or Burrow and Rogers. What's that? Perdy over Hertz. Perdy over Hertz. Vic Orion. Vic Orion. Traded A. Chan, Bejal Tootin, and Bowers.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Wow. For Beijon, Giovante, and Pitts. Could be Jameson. Ooh, could be Jameson. I'd rather have A.C.N. Tutton and Bowers. Jordan Lover, Caleb Williams this week. Caleb Williams Dan is at the store
Starting point is 00:05:59 looking for more refrigerator bagnets Would you trade Rishi Rice for Jemar Chase I would Christian Watson or Kayshan Booty Booty What do you think about this idea
Starting point is 00:06:11 Getting on to Yeah see I'll let him come on He's kind of curse though All right while you text then Let's go through some news items here More of your YouTube comments a little bit later Also Sunday Join us
Starting point is 00:06:25 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern. It's really a lot of fun. And we answer a ton of question. I'm calling on speaker. Oh, this is a horrible idea. No, a horrible idea. I have to mute you. I cannot allow this to happen. Okay. Yeah, we have a lot of fun on Sunday. 11 to 1 p.m. 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern right before kickoff. We answer your questions. We go through the weather. I don't think that's going to be a big issue this week. We go through any news and notes, any updates. And there will be a lot of it this week. So join us there. A lot of the advice we give you. even today will be outdated by the time we get to Sunday. So you got to stay up to date.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Jamie, are you done with your? Nope, Jamie's still on the phone. Okay, news and notes. Jackson Dart is out. I am so bummed about that. Man, Kvon Tibado and Paulson Adibo, an edge and a corner are also out for the Giants. They are at Detroit this week. They are going to get smashed.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Josh Jacobs was limited. We talked about that game on Friday. And really the only must start, I guess. I mean, Jefferson, you're going to start, but Jacobs would be the best start if he plays. Jamie, you good? You good? Don't curse.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah. Anyway, Josh Jacobs Limited, it's fine. And Sam Laporte. Jacobs Limited today? Yeah. He was. So they're hoping. Getting a good sense there,
Starting point is 00:07:48 there's definitely some optimism about Josh Jacobs this week. Yeah, there is, you know, they play third. Thursday. So, you know, you might want to say they could use some caution there because it's back-to-back division games and, you know, looking up at the lions at the right, they're behind lines and standings? Oh, the Packers? Let's see. They are.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Sorry. They are, unbelievably, both teams are behind Chicago. Yeah. Chicago 7 and 3, Green Bay 6 and 3, Detroit, 6 and 4. So do they play it safe and keep them out one more? week, keep him out a week to make sure he's 100% for Detroit. Just don't do anything with Emmanuel Wilson. I can't believe that. Detroit, who's in the NFC playoffs right now?
Starting point is 00:08:37 So you've got Philadelphia. Eagles are in the east. Philadelphia Rams and the West. Bears and Bucks. Wild card is Seattle, Green Bay, San Francisco. Wow. No Detroit right now. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah. No Detroit, no Kansas City. if the playoff started today. Oh, we have a winner of where Dan is. Oh, what do we got? Husky, Huskies. Got it right. Dan is getting a tour of the nose strip factory.
Starting point is 00:09:05 He is. He is. He's getting fitted for the perfect no strip. Dad, he really loves going to factories on his day off. Let me tell you. Smart. So I might as well read this dad joke here that we have. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:09:21 This is from Kyle. What do you call a sick Dan? who nails his pre-season flagplant player. Nostrip Damasus. That's good. That's very good. It is good, but could it be no-strip-danis? Yeah, just no-strip-dobis?
Starting point is 00:09:39 Yeah, don't, why do you azer stat a joke? Well, that's all. Oh, Sam Lipport is likely out for the season, unfortunately. It's bad. It stinks. Back surgery for him. All right. But football fans, picture this.
Starting point is 00:09:52 You bet on your favorite player to score the first touchdown. of the game. But his teammate scores instead. If this happens, BetMGM wants to give you another chance at the end zone. With BetMGM's second, excuse me, I'm choking, second chance promotion on BetMGM. You're going to get your stake back if your first touchdown score is second instead. That's right. Bet on any pro football player to score the first touchdown of the game. If you're right, you win. If your player scores second, you get your stake back in cash. With BetMGM's second chance offer, you have a chance to keep the fun going. after the first player crosses the goal line.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Try a first touchdown score wager with confidence today. Bet MGM make it legendary. Let's go to some emails at Fantasy Football at CBSI.com. Claire, can we clip that? Adam going, second. I'm saying, I'm joking, yeah. Fantasy football at Cbsi.com, put any, it doesn't matter what's in the subject line.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Put Fantasy cops in the subject line. Miles Garrett missed a day with an illness. Oh. Okay. If it's fantasy cops, put that in the subject line. This is a question. Oh, I don't have a name on this one.
Starting point is 00:11:00 I've heard this show talk about how teams that cannot make the playoff should not be allowed to make trades or contested waiver wire pickups. No, we don't, we say yes, you can't do that with trades. You absolutely, if you're not going to make the playoffs, can make waiver wire pickups.
Starting point is 00:11:16 As a manager of a losing team, I would like to challenge this position. What about bragging rights each week? What about still wanting to beat your fringe? French, shouldn't I still be allowed to take every step to try to win as many weeks as possible? What is wrong with me today? Yes, you should absolutely continue to be competitive. I just wrote the intro to my DFS story that runs on Sportsline every Friday,
Starting point is 00:11:40 and I said that you may be out of it in your redraft league. This is the point of season where playoffs, you had a playoff contention. But you should still be setting a lineup to be respectful and obviously continue to have fun. And that's what it's about. You should clearly try and be competitive. There are bragging rights. Adam, for example, has a week 12 bet that you made at the beginning of the season. I'm sure there's plenty of fantasy bets that have been going on throughout the course of the season in many leagues.
Starting point is 00:12:03 There are leagues that obviously have penalties for finishing last. So it's not a black and white. You don't make waiver moves or you don't make trades. Every league is different. But clearly, you should try and be competitive and still win every week if you possibly can't. But you can't do it with trades. Trades, I would say the only thing. is if that's kind of been your league history, and there's a way still to monitor them.
Starting point is 00:12:31 No, but if you're eliminated, I maintain, if you're eliminated from the playoffs, you cannot make trades. That's your own fault, you know? Yeah, I mean, I'm going to lean that way, but I think, again, if your league is, you know, hey, we play to the end, and I want every team to be competitive, and it's not somebody giving up Emmanuel Wilson for Jonathan Taylor. Like, yeah, I'm not going to tell you. what to do with your league, I'm going to recommend that you make a rule that says you cannot make trades
Starting point is 00:12:56 if you're eliminated from the playoffs. Someone in the chat says they sent me a trade offer in the leftovers league. So I have not accepted any trades in the leftovers league because I actually don't think I'm necessarily eliminated, but Heath and I, we're in last place, Jamie, and I've never finished in my life. I've never finished in last place.
Starting point is 00:13:13 We're tied three and eight, and we're going to lose this week. I mean, we are so injured. It is unbelievable. But Olave for Kittle, that's an interesting trade. Mahomes for A-chan, this is a Superflex league. These are interesting trades. But you're out of it.
Starting point is 00:13:31 No, I don't think we're out of it. Right now we're 3 and 8, and the last playoff spot is 6 and 5. And it's a 10-team league, so it goes through week 15. But is top 4 make it or top 6th? Top 4. So we'll probably have a 1% chance of making it. Yeah, don't do it. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I'm allowed to do it. You just said if you're out of playoff contention. I'm not out of playoff contention. You're out of playoff contention. Stop it. It's got to be zero. See, this is you're stretching it. No, it's got to, I'm very consistent about this.
Starting point is 00:14:02 It's got to be mathematically eliminated. Okay. And I don't think we are. Joe Burroughs officially questionable for Sunday. All right. So next email is from Mike in Somerville. Dear Blake, Dylan, and Dante. Blake, Dylan, and Dante.
Starting point is 00:14:19 um de vincenzo's um blake these are NFL quarterbacks from a specific university Blake Dylan and Dante I don't know central Florida oh okay Bortles uh coal pepper who's Dylan oh pepper yeah who's Dylan who's Dylan Dylan Dylan you son of all right uh we don't talk enough about garbage time It's more prevalent in blowout wins or losses, but how much do you take into account when you make your projections? How much do you factor in garbage time? For a team to be playing in garbage time?
Starting point is 00:15:02 Yeah, I guess so. Okay, so the Giants this week, for example, right? Where they're, well, I mean, do you think of another example? The 10 and a half point underdogs, yeah. The Jets this week, fine. I was thinking the team actually could put up points in garbage time. So, yes, absolutely factor. You know, when you're looking at certain players in certain situations,
Starting point is 00:15:22 especially when the team has been bad. Like we had that stretch. You heard me say, I forget who I was making the joke of, but like Blake Bortles, we had that stretch for the Jaguars that season where Blake Bortals every week in the fourth quarter was having these heroic performances. So, yeah, I think any time you have an offensive-oriented team with a terrible defense, I mean, we saw it with the Bengals at times last year, right, where they were just getting beaten. and then they come back in the second half of games, not necessarily late in games,
Starting point is 00:15:52 but yeah, you definitely have to take it into account to a certain extent. Yeah, look, it's pretty hard to predict sometimes you think games are going to go a certain way and they don't, so I don't put too much stock into it. Also, sometimes in garbage time, players get pulled, you know, and it's bad, so it's not a huge factor here. But we do, in that same vein,
Starting point is 00:16:17 we do say, oh, they're going to be trailing, they're going to be throwing, this is good game script. We just don't necessarily say garbage time. Okay, we'll be right back with more of your questions and your fantasy cops and all that good stuff after this. Ready to level up, Chumba Casino is your playbook to fun.

Starting point is 00:17:48 says Chris Godwin is trending on playing Sunday versus the Rams oh okay and that's not really a huge surprise
Starting point is 00:17:57 but we said on the show on Friday morning we're not starting him right how are you feeling about that now I would not start him I would certainly want
Starting point is 00:18:04 to roster him so make sure he's not on your waiver wire and I definitely think that this is an impact to Trey Benson the most so I know we've said
Starting point is 00:18:11 at times it could be a KDaten problem if Godwin is playing it could be a Abuka problem to an extent if Godwin is playing. I think he's just really trade. Tess Johnson is the one that scares me the most.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Cool. All right. Back to our questions here. Thank you, everybody, for submitting. This is from Andrew. 10-team PPR. Would you flex Zach Charbonnet or Luther Burden or drop one of them for K.aten, Kyle Pitts,
Starting point is 00:18:36 Jake Ferguson, Josh Downs, or Tess Johnson? Sorry. Give me names again. I was reading an update. Yeah, yeah. Charbonnet or Burden or drop one of them for Cate Otton, Kyle Pitts,
Starting point is 00:18:51 Jake Ferguson, Josh Downs, Tess Johnson. I probably would drop burden. For Otten. I'd go with Otten. Yeah. Okay. From Sal, half PPR, pick two. By the way,
Starting point is 00:19:05 does not seem like Trey Benson will be active based on what the Cardinals just did. They made Jamar Johnson. They put him on their active roster for today, for this week. Okay. Now, that could just be De Mercado.
Starting point is 00:19:16 It could be night, but not a good sign them Elevani or running back and not Benson yet. Okay. Yeah, now DeMarcato's out. So, all right, we'll keep an eye on that.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Again, that's why you've got to watch on Sunday morning. This is from Sal. Pick two and half PPR. Tess Johnson, Kyle Monongai, Josh Downs,
Starting point is 00:19:37 Darnel Mooney, Sean Tucker. Pick two? Yes. Half PPR. Uh, Tucker and Tess Downs, Menangai Mooney. You're going Mooney?
Starting point is 00:19:51 Yeah. Mooney, uh, from NJT. I give up Judkins and Devante Smith. I get Sequin Barclay and Tess Johnson. So it's Smith and Judkins for Berkeley. I think that's a win. Okay, this is a good question from Scott. After watching Thursday nights games or game.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Bucky Irving rolled out. You just saw that. I'm concerned about the fantasy impact the Thursday night game has on the quarterback position. Do you have data showing how quarterbacks that are usually must-starts in Superflex or one-quarterback leagues actually perform versus the rest of the season?
Starting point is 00:20:30 So, I don't have that, but I did look at every Thursday night game except for week one. Week one's not the same scenario, right? So weeks two through 12, that is 11 games, that is 22 quarterbacks. I looked at all of their fantasy points in non-decimal scoring, because that was the easiest way for me to do it.
Starting point is 00:20:51 I looked at the box scores on CBSPorts.com. It has their non-decimal six-point-per-passing touchdown scoring. And I listed all of them. I put them all, hmm, you know what? I bet I could do this visually. I'm going to, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to email this to myself. And then I'm going to put it up on the screen.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I'm going to throw it over to my other computer. I'm going to come back to this question. And this will be a good visual, I think. It'll help instead of me just blabbering about it. Okay. So we'll come back to that. Not join us, by the way. Which is that?
Starting point is 00:21:24 Nando cannot join us. He can never join us, this guy. All right. Let's go to another question. I'll come back to that Thursday nighter because it's a good one. Chris Kennedy wants to know, Ramandre Stevenson or Bejel Tootin? there's more upside with Tutin as the player there's more upside with Stevenson in the matchup
Starting point is 00:21:46 both are dealing with injuries I would lean slightly toward Tutin okay from Crosby would you trade Lamb and Quentin Johnston for Devon A-chan before I answer that before the comment goes away Liam Joseph
Starting point is 00:22:02 Barb has a good dad joke that you could sing Oh My dad Sorry dad joke My wife asked me to stop singing Wonderwall by oasis I said maybe
Starting point is 00:22:18 Oh that's great I had a six-year-old Tell me a joke like that It was something like It was something like I thought love was only true in fairy tales Then I saw her face but here's a question from the chat by the way do we think bucky irving comes back this year
Starting point is 00:22:43 and yes yes there's been a lot more optimism about as early as week 13 yeah it could be next week okay uh would you trade lamb and quentin johnston for devon a chan lamb and quentin johnston for devon a chan um it's basically lamb for a chan so i think if you need the running back then yes if you have the receiver debt to give up two guys like that then sure oh man i wonder if there's a way for me to get you. I need you to talk. I want you to talk for like a good 15 to 30 seconds on this one so I can pull up the Thursday night data.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Question from Nick. I have James Cook and Travis E.T.N. With R.J. Harvey and Kamani Vidal on my bench. But Cook has been inconsistent lately. I mean, he's coming off two great games in a row, but I get it. And he has terrible playoff matchups while Travis E.N. has a growing tootin problem.
Starting point is 00:23:35 That's kind of funny to say aloud. Do I try to move one or more of them to upgrade like ETN for Chase Brown? Do I not rock the boat because I'm dominating in this league? And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. What would you do if your running backs were James Cook, Travis Eton, R.J. Harvey, and Kamani Baidel. I mean, clearly you're in a better spot than most because of having a solid number one running back. If James Cook is considered a problem for you, then I don't know what you're going to expect in return for any of those guys. Cook and ETN, I think, are a solid number one and number two, while Vidal and Harvey,
Starting point is 00:24:11 now that Dobbins is out for the rest of the season, can be a potential number two if you're concerned about ETN, or same thing with Vidal, as long as Amaran Hampton is out. But if you are concerned and you want to try and maybe get something better, maybe there's a team that has some running back issues and you could package somebody like Harvey and Vidal for a better third option, or at least a more safe third option, you can go that route. But I'm not trading James Cook. I could certainly understand trying to upgrade off Travis ETN, but I'm not sure they'd be able to successfully unless it's ETN and one of those guys in some sort of package deal. But I think for the most part, you're in a pretty good
Starting point is 00:24:46 spot. And I would not necessarily be in the mindset of you have to make a trade. You can, but I don't think you have to. All right, here we go. Thank you for doing that. I'm going to share this very, very fancy Microsoft Word document with all of you. Okay, here we go. Is that big enough, Jamie? Yep. Okay. So these are 22 quarterbacks and how many fantasy points they scored in six point per passing touchdown leagues. We had Lamar, Herbert, Stafford, Flacco, Rogers, and Josh Allen once. I was expecting like some really fancy graphic.
Starting point is 00:25:24 You know, I just emailed this to myself. So that's one, two, three, four, five, six quarterbacks. Six quarterbacks out of 22 scored 28 or more fantasy points. And by the way, every number you see here, you should probably just add one because this is non-decimal scoring. So just add one on average. So we had six huge performances.
Starting point is 00:25:46 We had Mack Jones, Jackson Dart, Jordan Love, Jaden Daniels, score 23 to 25 fantasy points. Okay, now we've got 10 out of 22 or 23 or more fantasy points. We had Jalen Hertz at 22, sorry for Hertz. We had Kyler at 20, Fields at 20. So that's pretty More than half have been good. Way more than half.
Starting point is 00:26:09 And then we had bad games, like terrible games from Carson Wentz to Bo Nix, Josh Allen last night, and Gino Smith. So that is five out of 22 quarterbacks who scored single-digit fantasy points. So I said,
Starting point is 00:26:24 is that unusual? If you'll see the number at the bottom of the screen, you'll see the number of quarterbacks who have scored single-digit fantasy points week by week. We have had five on Thursday night out of 22 quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:26:37 That's kind of a low amount of quarterbacks to begin with. But it's a somewhat normal number, maybe a little bit high, but you can see the last four weeks. We've had seven quarterback score single digit. And I'm not talking about quarterbacks that came in for five plays.
Starting point is 00:26:51 I'm talking about quarterbacks who started. Yeah. So in my opinion, no, I don't think Thursday night's been unusual at all. I think we had last night was bad, but it's been normal. Heath and I had this debate last week about Baker Mayfield, right? Heath was very out on Mayfield against Buffalo and I said he was still a good start
Starting point is 00:27:08 because of the same argument that I have from this week, that he's done well on these tough matchups. He was the number eight quarterback last week because last week was so bad. Oh, yeah, last week was terrible. Where's the year? Okay, here we go with Dave and Flint. Did I really hear Jamie say? I can't wait to see what you can do when you have time to make a graphic.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Oh, yeah, I should probably get rid of this. I think we're good now. Did I really hear Jamie say that he would start Michael Wilson over the Eagles guys? Personally, I was looking at A.J. Brown on my flex spot, but I wondered if Michael Wilson was smarter. I'm also starting Brissette. I mean, we have a couple of different things you can point to. Michael Wilson's game last week is the most obvious with 18 targets, 15 catches in a game where Jacoby Brissette threw 57 times. We have five starts for Jacoby Brissette. He's been 44 attempts or more in three of those. So that's not a fluke that he's throwing the ball off. We have a two-game stretch for Marvin Harrison as the lead receiver with Jacoby Brissette before he had the appendix, and he averaged 11 targets per game,
Starting point is 00:28:10 10 and 1, 12 in the other. So I think if you're saying there's 10 plus targets coming his way, let's just even bump that down even more, let's say 8. So we're taking 10 targets off of what he had last week. There's still an opportunity for him to perform at the level of A.J. Brown or better, and Brown is facing a defense that while it's been terrible all season long, they play the type of defense, you know, based on Dave's research, that is bad for A.J. Brown, a lot more zone than man. So I just think that there's more upside with Michael Wilson, and I'll buy into what I saw last week versus what I've seen from AJ Brown for the majority of the year.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I'm going to share one more visual for you here, just kind of give you a comparison of Michael Wilson and AJ Brown. So what do you think about this, Jamie? It's a Microsoft Word document that says Michael Wilson is probably going to score more than AJ Brown. All right. There you go. Very high-tech stuff.
Starting point is 00:29:00 From Bob, I just traded Zach Bonn for Baker Mayfield. I was going to start Sam Darnold, but now I feel like I have to try out my shiny new player. Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold? I like Mayfield better again. I think there's more upside. He's getting Godwin back. That's a boost to whatever degree you think it might be.
Starting point is 00:29:20 So yeah, I would go with Godwin. Okay. If anyone cares, I did watch all of Baker Mayfield's dropbacks against the bills. I didn't really, he didn't do poorly, you know, he just was very conservative in this game. He really didn't try, I think one shot downfield. It was late in the game. And he also, it was bad weather. But also, he had 20 fantasy points against the bills.
Starting point is 00:29:45 That hasn't happened since week one until the last play of the game when he fumbled and lost it. So he would have had a decent game against the bills. Like I said on the show Friday, the explosives have not been there. for this passing offense. I don't know if that's just fluky and it comes back, but that's been what's holding them back lately. All right,
Starting point is 00:30:04 question from Brandon. Would you trade Romeo Dobbs and Quentin Johnston for Alec Pierce and Beasiel Tootin? Romeo Dobbs and Quentin for Alec Pearson and Basial Tootin. I think at this point
Starting point is 00:30:16 I'd rather have the upside of Pierce and Tootin. Yeah, I think so. Right, you've got some serious upside there and you don't have that with the other guys. From Kyle. Oh, this was the upside. the no-strip-Domis one.
Starting point is 00:30:29 That was great. From Ronan in Ireland. Dear Mike, ooh, I was going to do the accent, but I think it would just be horrible and maybe offensive. Dear Mike, Gerard, Bill, and Pete. Who's the second name?
Starting point is 00:30:43 Mike, what? Mike, Gerard, Bill, and Pete. Mike Gerard, Bill, and Pete. I don't know. Patriots coaches. Oh, yeah. Remember Gerard? I do.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Pick two in Superflex. Stafford. hurts young darn old first two okay if I may
Starting point is 00:31:05 Jamie this is the time that we share things random things like this and you feel for you too I saw the word young there
Starting point is 00:31:11 made me think of young Sheldon for some reason I have been on a huge big bang theory
Starting point is 00:31:16 kick Nick at night Big Bang Theory every night before bed this show is so funny I've watched
Starting point is 00:31:22 it but I haven't watched all the episodes it's a lot of new stuff for me I don't know
Starting point is 00:31:27 why people hate on the Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory is incredible. And not only that, when you talk about the best characters in sitcom history, you get Michael Scott, and you get Al Bundy,
Starting point is 00:31:39 you obviously get all the Seinfeld. Sheldon Cooper, he's up there. If he's not on Mount Rushmore, he's the gift shop at Mount Rushmore. He's not far away. He's terrific. They have a gift shop there?
Starting point is 00:31:54 I don't know. Probably. Have you ever? been there? No, I have not. I would like to. I haven't been there either. Me too, Jamie. What have you been watching lately? I just have to queue up the fantasy cops music. Last night I watched after the game was over the end of Brockstale, which is such a fantastic movie. It is. Oh, please do not make something. No, here we go. It is. It's a little extreme for me. It's a little too much. It's like they took mafia movies and they just went to,
Starting point is 00:32:26 two mafia almost. In Bronx Tale? Do you know the... I mean, like, every character in the movie is like a caricature of the ones we see in the mafia movies.
Starting point is 00:32:38 I don't know. Do you know the story behind a Bronx tale? I know, Chas Pomeroy and Terry wrote it. Yeah, but it's about him, I believe. It's autobiographical
Starting point is 00:32:48 to some degree. I look it up. I need to look it up. It's an interesting story. I mean, first off, the bar scene is incredible. I use guys got to leave. or something like that.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Now you guys can't leave. You guys can't leave. It's a good movie. It's a good movie. The fact that you even disparaged it in some way, shape, or form is terrible. I just don't think it's a great movie. I'll give you an example.
Starting point is 00:33:10 You know the scene where they have that, I think the song is I only have eyes for you? Shibab, Shabab. They play that for so long. It's really weird. There's just some things in there that are just a little juvenile for me. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Okay, yeah. People are saying he is this. kid in the movie. Yeah, it's an autobiograph. It's a great, it's a great movie. It's a good, it's a very good movie. I'm not going to say it's great. Are we good with that? Now we're not good with that. It's great. I hate you. Listen, we got a dilemma, Jamie. Because next week's a really busy week, right? We got full slate, no buys. We got Thanksgiving and Wednesday night we're doing our Thursday show. So it's like pedal to the metal, try to get everything done before Thursday, basically. But stranger things, first four episodes are dropping Wednesday night. I mean,
Starting point is 00:33:55 there's no chance we're going to be able to watch those, right? I've forgotten so much. That's what happened. I feel like I have to go back and watch the whole thing again. Yeah, I know. I'd love to. So there's Demi Gordons. Yeah, I'm not going to say just in case you haven't seen it, but yeah, probably should watch the most recent episode, the last episode of the last season. Fantasy cops. Listen, I got some specific fantasy cops questions, but I just have to get this out there one more time. If I see another freaking email about your league vetoing a trade because they didn't want one of the good teams to become even better.
Starting point is 00:34:30 I'm going to visit your draft next year. And I don't know. Give you really bad food or something. I do something negative. Stop doing it. It's childish. It's wrong. Imagine if the NFL vetoed Jalen Phillips to the Eagles because they didn't want the Super Bowl
Starting point is 00:34:51 champion to get better. Imagine. Well, you know that happened in the NBA, right? Yeah, I do. And the people were up in arms about it. It can't happen. It's never a good reason to veto a trade. Shut up and stop whining.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Make the trade yourself. I would love for you just because you're not going to do this, but I would love for you if there's a draft within driving distance that you actually did this. Like here, here's some generic French onion dip. It's terrible. All right. We're going to take a break and come back
Starting point is 00:35:19 with the actual fantasy cop's questions after this. Black Friday is here at IKEA, and the clock is taking on savings you won't want to miss.

Starting point is 00:35:51 I'm having a weird day. Can't say a sentence, right? I'm just flying off the handle. But here we go, fantasy guys. I guess I'm compensating for Dan's absence. Ah! All right, this is from Dean. Hello, Dean.
Starting point is 00:36:08 We have had a long-time league 12-plus years, and about two years ago, we switched over to a one-keeper league. You can only keep a keeper for one year, and you lose the draft pick he was drafted the year before. We recently have run into the issue of teams that are eliminated or practically eliminated, trading their good players away to playoff teams
Starting point is 00:36:27 that have a good keeper. For example, we had a team with a 1% chance at making the playoffs, try to trade Jalen Waddle and D'Andre Swift for Cam Scataboo, who's on the third place team. I think it's a slippery slope that can lead to worse trades,
Starting point is 00:36:45 but others say it's strategy and playing the game. Please help. I mean, it's, it's, uh, it's part of what keeper leagues are right and dynasty leagues are yeah i i don't play in any keeper leagues to be quite honest with you i know you do but do you have any specific rules regarding this should there be a deadline maybe no no players who are on i are i don't i'm just throwing ideas out so in i'm trying to think of the there i'm trying to think how i'm like just keeper leagues i play in at least three. So trades, we don't really have any of these rules in place, but we have a three-person
Starting point is 00:37:28 committee that decides if trades are fair or not. So we've never vetoed, I don't think any of them, but we have talked them through all the time. So that's got to be two-thirds majority. The other one that I set up, and I did this purposely because I was in a basketball league, similar to this, that was just the trades were very lopsied. Somebody was out of it, they would trade all. They would do it for draft picks. So, I made my Keeper League where you can only keep players that you drafted. So the only thing that comes a little tricky with this is like people will draft rookies.
Starting point is 00:38:00 So like someone will draft Kyle Williams, drop them the day after the draft. And then try and pick them up if they get on the radar. You know what I mean? That's interesting. So that's the only thing that comes to play there. And then the third one is just there's no rules at all about trades. I think just in the case of this specific league, you want to encourage teams to be active to help themselves for next year.
Starting point is 00:38:24 But if it's a one-keeper league, like trading for a player like Camp Scadaoo, it doesn't make much sense, like in this scenario. Well, yeah, I'll not get into necessarily the specifics of the trade. Like if Scataboo is a last round keeper, I think that's pretty good. But I think I'm mostly fine with it. Maybe tighten up your language a little bit. Like, if you want to do that, you can only trade one player, so it's not, you know, you're not giving up Waddle and Swift.
Starting point is 00:38:53 You can just give up Waddle. But maybe. Yeah, it, it, this is a fairly lopsided one. Yeah, yeah. Maybe tighten up the language a little bit, but in theory, I think we're fine with it. All right, this is from Herb from north of Ann Arbor. A misdemeanor offense. Misdemeanor here.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I, with cops deal with that, too. I dropped and or traded. the two players I name my team after. My team name is Bill Bo Bagan's for Kroski-Maritin, Bo Nix. Do I have to rename my team? No. Yes. You should, though, but you don't have to.
Starting point is 00:39:28 You have to. You don't have to. There's no penalty. I would say if your record is good, don't shake up karma. If your record is mediocre and, you know, this was the impetus to change everything else. Like, then, yes, change the team. Next up, I can make this louder. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:39:46 There we go. Next up is from Norm. It's says, Dear Carter and Lee. No idea of that. Earlier this week, this is actually from a week and a half ago, the Tyler Warren manager in our league, three and seven in do or die mode, put out a public call for best offers on Tyler Warren.
Starting point is 00:40:06 He also warned everybody that if he didn't get what he considered a sufficient return, he would trade Warren to the first place juggernaut team for whatever the first place. first place manager wanted to send back? Well, it worked. He ended up getting Sequin Barclay and Wondale Robinson for Tyler Warren. But if he hadn't gotten a real offer, would the league have been within its right to veto the below market value trade that he would have made with the first place team?
Starting point is 00:40:32 On the one hand, it's obviously league breaking, but on the other hand, he's not getting anything back from it. And two, he's making his team better by showing that if he runs this kind of auction again, he'll actually follow through. meaning other teams should actually bid full price. So kind of interesting. He basically holds the rest of the league hostage, says, make me an offer for Tyler Warren, who was on a buy that week. And if I don't like it,
Starting point is 00:40:58 I'm going to make an even worse deal with the first place team. So you can obviously stand on the mountaintop and scream as loud as you want to until you actually put it into action, right? So he could make these threats, and it worked out for him. Had he actually gone through with it,
Starting point is 00:41:11 I think the trade would have to be somewhat evaluate. because if he's just taking garbage for Tyler Warren to the first place team, like that feels a little collusionish to me. That being said, that's a ridiculous trade. Warren for Barclay and Wando. Yeah. The thing about Barclay is,
Starting point is 00:41:31 Barclay, I think, is RB 16 per game, right around there. Tyler Warren's probably, what, third? Something like that. Top six, I think. He's been more valuable than Sequel and Barclay, I'd have to say. Per position, sure. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I don't even know what the differential in the... Let me look at the points per game in PPR. I'm curious. I mean, I'm sure Barclay has outscored him, but probably not by that much. What do you think? Want to guess? I think you can stream tight ends.
Starting point is 00:42:01 You can't stream Barclay. Barclay is averaging 15.1 points per game. Tyler Warren's got to be like 12. 13.6. Yeah. He is tight end four per game. But Darren Waller is one of them, so he's tied in three per game. All right.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I guess I'm a, this is really kind of dirty. But I guess I'm okay with it. I think by the letter of the law, it's okay. You can threaten to do whatever you want to until you actually do it. Yeah, you probably could have gone about it in a better way, like a nicer way. But, well, it's also like, that right. He just went like, what's, like, what's that? We don't know the relationship between the first place manager and this person.
Starting point is 00:42:48 We don't know if there's been a history of bad trades before. By the way, quick news update here. It looks like two starting defensive backs for the Lions. Terry and Arnold and Kirby Joseph are not looking good. They're not seen at Lions practice. Neither is left tackle Taylor Decker. Which is surprising. Wondale.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Wondale. All right. This is from Dylan. Oh, wait, sorry. Before we get to Dylan. Do you agree with this from Adam Lee? Adam on the fantasy cops, Adam Azer is definitely Mahoney. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Mahoney, are you kidding me? Mahoney is the cool rule breaker. I am not Mahoney at all. If anything, I'm Proctor? No, you're the leader. I'm the leader? I appreciate that. Here's the fantasy cops from Dylan.
Starting point is 00:43:38 My brother verbally made a legitimate trade, and I verbally accepted it. But then he said, Sike, never mind. What are your thoughts on this? His brother? Yeah. I mean, it's a verbal trade.
Starting point is 00:43:51 You can revoke it. It sucks, but you can't. You can revoke verbal trades. It's not cool. Don't make them unless you plan on following through. Although I can't say I've never done that before. That's it for the fantasy cops. I got something fun to promote.
Starting point is 00:44:06 We are in this tournament. Let me see. I need a URL. Give me one moment. Damn it. This is so me today, isn't it? The Bengals have until 4 p.m. on Saturday. So you might be listening to us at that point, 4 p.m. on Saturday to make Joe Burrow active for this week.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Okay. We're in a tournament. Jaden Reed's practice window has been open. The64.com. And they make all these 64 team or thing, like it could be food, whatever. go to the 64.com, T-H-E-64.com. And you'll see right there, America's Best Sports Talk Radio slash podcast.
Starting point is 00:44:49 We are on the right side, like the top right bracket, and we're going up head to head. I'm going to vote right now. We're going up against Bussing with the Boys. This is a good one. Yeah, we're going up head-to-head against them. Wow.
Starting point is 00:45:04 And I'm voting for fantasy football today. So let's get us to the second round, I mean, that would be a major upset. For us or for them? For us? Don't underestimate us. We got a big audience here. Oh, but that's a huge podcast.
Starting point is 00:45:22 This is the first time I promoted it. And the thing is, it's only up for like a couple days. So we'd appreciate if you go there. The64.com. And then, yeah, just vote for fantasy football today. That'd be awesome. We'd really appreciate your support. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:39 And let's read some Apple podcast questions. What are your plans this weekend, Jamie? Oh, I got a fun day tomorrow. I got a baseball doubleheader, soccer game, and then the Panthers game tomorrow night. Oh, who are they playing? I don't know. Hockey's very weird.
Starting point is 00:46:01 It is a party at the Panthers game. Nice. So hockey's very weird because every team is, almost every team is above 500. and yet it doesn't mean you're going to make the playoffs
Starting point is 00:46:11 because you don't lose unless you lose in regulation so they might want to we were talking and talking about this with my friends maybe change it
Starting point is 00:46:17 to get three points for a win instead of two points for a win in regulation okay here we go Big Farts
Starting point is 00:46:25 Zero wants us to say his name so we'll vote for us oh big fart zero okay yeah there you go just tuning Any word on Bucky?
Starting point is 00:46:38 Yeah, Bucky's not playing this week. Hopefully back next week. Okay, now Apple Podcasts questions. I was killing time until I pulled them up. I'm really doing great today. This is from Dan, a sad New York Giants fan in San Diego. Ooh, not quite our Dan. 12 team half PPR, two wide receivers, two running backs,
Starting point is 00:46:55 one tight end, one flex. I have Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker, and Trey Benson. If Benson is back, should I start him over Sean Tucker? I probably still go with Tucker just to give Benson a week to see what it looks like but they're close. From Allen in Boston.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Dear Tony, Christopher, Carm, Pauley, and Silvio. That would be a Bronx tale. Game of Throlethal. Those are Lannisters. Gamer Eric says that Heath is Tackleberry.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Oh, interesting. Jamie starts it, has been part of my preparation since 2010. Wow, thank you. As a James Cook manager, should I consider rostering both Ray Davis and Ty Johnson? That's a lot of roster space for one backfield. I still think that if James Cook misses any time,
Starting point is 00:47:52 Ray Davis steps into Cook's role and Ty Johnson gets more work but does not see the huge bump in touches or playing time. So I would rather roster Ray Davis as the handcuff. 100% agree. This is from Medic Nick. I got offered Breece Hall and Justin Jefferson
Starting point is 00:48:11 for Kyron Williams and Michael Wilson. Which side would you rather have? Breast Hall and Justin Jefferson for who and Michael Wilson? Kyron Williams and Michael Wilson. I'd rather have the Breece Hall side just because Wilson's not going to be long-term.
Starting point is 00:48:25 And who would you start? Pick three. Michael Wilson, D.K. Metcalfe. Davante Adams, Chris Olave. You need to sit one. Metcalfe is sitting. okay this is from hindsight oh that's a good call too uh dan is lieutenant harris yeah well then i can't be proctor because i will not work under dan you think dan's lieutenant harris so he's the
Starting point is 00:48:50 pain of the butt right yeah i think i'm lieutenant harris just being honest here okay dear mirabelle Lisa, Isabella, and Peppa. I have no idea. Grade the trade, 12-team PPR League. Give up James Cook, Ray Davis, Quentin Johnston, and Isaiah Pacheco. Wow. Okay, James, that's like basically James Cook.
Starting point is 00:49:20 James Cook, Ray Davis, Quentin Johnston, Pacheco, get Rico Dowdell and Chuba Hubbard, Jalen Waddle, and Trey Benson. 100%. Yeah, do it. A-minus. No, A-plus. This is from Lewis.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Hey, Tim, Al, Wilson, and Jill. Tim, Al, Wilson, and Jill. This is something that you and I are probably not good at. This is home improvement. I was going to say home improvement, yeah. Superflex League. We have a three-quarterback position limit. I have Herbert and Bo Nix on a buy,
Starting point is 00:49:58 and I have Jacoby Brissette. Jackson Darts on my, I, oh, well, you don't have to activate him. There you go. It worked out for you. Sorry, I should not have read that. And last thing here, let me see, if this one works. Fantasy cops. I have a league mate complaining that I changed my lineup after 10 a.m. game started with my commissioner power.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I did no such thing, and he's now refusing to pay his remaining fee. and swears I'm cheating because my lineup changed at 9.59 after I bench Kamani Vidal for Christian Watson. What should I do? This is Pacific time. I mean... The games didn't even start yet. Give me a break.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Just pay your dues, you big baby, not the person who... It's 10 a.m. Pacific? Yeah. Yeah, I think that's fine. I mean, this just sounds like somebody trying to wheeze a lot of pain. If someone said to me at 9.59, a.m. Pacific or 12.59 a
Starting point is 00:51:04 p.m. Eastern time. Hey, I missed the deadline. Can I make this roster move? A hundred percent. I would let them make the roster. Of course. 100%. You just have to message the whole league. That's the thing. Yeah, you did that last night. What? There was an issue with you last night,
Starting point is 00:51:20 right? It might not have been you. I know there was an issue somebody named Adam. Oh, no. Wasn't me? Okay, I thought it might have been you. Heath sent us a message and said Adam sent me a note to change his lineup after right, right before kickoff after lineups locked. And I didn't get to it. Just want to let you know, here's what I did. Okay. Fair. So, all right, we, yeah, pay the dues. Don't be, don't be a baby. Good, good move sitting Vidal for Christian Watson. Now that is kind of fishy. Why on earth would
Starting point is 00:51:51 you have done that? It worked out. But that's, uh, interesting. It is fishy. All right, let's get to some Spotify comments. here unless he just followed the every other week and just to say oh no so like very so wait now we have to figure this out though right because vidal has been every other week good but we have the bye week was every other game or is every other game i think it's every other game i think it's very tough call thank you for your spotify comments we appreciate it we're looking to grow big time on spotify so you know help us out with that from juke um which tea which side would rather have in a trade?
Starting point is 00:52:30 Rico Dowdell, Baker Mayfield, Chris Olavet. Rico Dowdell, Baker Mayfield, Chris Olabe. Or Trey McBride and Justin Jefferson. Wow. McBride and Jefferson. Yeah, but he explains the team getting McBride doesn't have a tight end. The team getting Baker doesn't have a quarterback. So this is a fine, fine trade.
Starting point is 00:52:57 How about this one from KickRoy? Grade the Trade, 12-team PPR, Romo Dunzei and T. Higgins for Pooka Nakuwa. Romo Dunzee and T. Higgins for Pooka Nakuwa. I mean, if you need the receiver depth, it's fine. Yeah, it's fine. Right. Both sides could win from that. Would you rather have...
Starting point is 00:53:20 Do you know what's weird? You know how it's just like the universe is so weird sometimes? So the first time I've said all day, and maybe always... week that I'm going to the Panthers game tomorrow. It's part of a party. The person who's hosting the party at the Panthers game just texting me. Did I accept my tickets yet? It's just crazy.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I like that. I'm very jealous of you. Panthers games are super fun. Yeah. From Ricky. Listener in Australia, would you rather have Diggs or Judkins' rest of season, half PPR? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Judkins, but it's close. this one is from ace i need two running backs and a flex in ppr travion henderson ashton gentie aaron jones let's start with that pick two henderson genty jones uh i would go with i'd bench genty and then a flex in ppr from genty jennings and michael wilson michael lison this is from carlos daniel jones jordan love jacobby brissette pick one
Starting point is 00:54:28 Jacobi. Pick two in standard scoring. Breeze Hall, Josh Jacobs, Charbonnet, Tuton. Assuming Jacobs plays, it would be Jacobs and Hall,
Starting point is 00:54:41 right? You said Hall was one? Yeah, and then the others are Charbonnet and Tutin. So it would be Tutin if Jacob's out. And two wide receivers in standard scoring,
Starting point is 00:54:52 St. Brown, Olave, Abuka, O'Dunze, A.J. Brown. That's just bragging. Yeah. I would go with, with St. Brown and the Bucca. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:05 And then I'm going to flex Olave, I think. I don't understand why the Falcons are not using A.J. Terrell to shadow. They did a little bit. They did a decent amount with Terrell McMillan, but not enough. And when he has shadowed guys, he's done really well. This is from Ben. That's obviously in relation to Chris Olave. Ben's personal walk-up songs for a fight
Starting point is 00:55:29 are slings and arrows by the Warriors and Black Republicans by Nas and Jay-Z. And I've heard neither of them. Braxton is considering trading Rico Doudal and Terry McLaurin for A.J. Brown and Bucky Irving. I mean, that's fine. You know, hopefully, Bucky is the guy we thought he was going to be
Starting point is 00:55:53 at the start of season, And Greg, sit one in a 12-team standard-scoring league. Sit one. Trayvion Henderson, Chase Brown, Justin Jefferson, Ameca, Abuka, T. Higgins, George Pickens. Wow. Give me names again. Travion Henderson, Chase Brown.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Jefferson, Abuka, Higgins, Pickens. Man. Is it sad that I like Jefferson the least? Oh, man. Man, I don't know who to sit here. If you're concerned about, like, you know, Heath's take on the Patriots backflop, do you want to sit Henderson?
Starting point is 00:56:33 I think I would sit Henderson if Ramandre plays. Otherwise, I'll sit. Chase Brown. Jefferson's the guy for me, yeah. I said Chase Brown over. It's standard scoring. The games that Nico Collins had, you know, two weeks, two and three weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:56:52 games that Tedd-Role McMillan had, I just feel like it's there for Jefferson. I don't know about this week because it's a tough matchup, but I just feel like it's going to be there. He's going to have a big game, Jamie. It might be this week. If it's not this week, it could be next week. Or it could be week 14.
Starting point is 00:57:08 I mean, the thing... It could be 15. It could be week 16 or 17. The thing about it is, like, most people are not benching Justin Jefferson. We have not said to bench Justin Jefferson. We're answering questions that are very difficult to answer. So, you know, I hope nobody's going to say, you guys said bench Judge Jefferson.
Starting point is 00:57:22 No. in a very specific situation we are saying to Ben's Jefferson. I think sometime maybe next year you can have a big game. It's going to happen. You stretch your joke on, I forget.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Sometimes when the joke is so obviously over and you go back to it, that is funny. Okay. Not to Jamie, though. Let's go to YouTube comments to finish the show. Which of the FFT crew
Starting point is 00:57:47 is notorious for sending insulting trade offers? You, 100% you. I also send the most trade offers I think So there you go Could Jalen Waddle be a league winner And should I trade two of Judkins Aaron Jones and Cortland Sutton for him I would definitely trade
Starting point is 00:58:04 If you could turn Cortland Sutton And Aaron Jones into Jalen Waddle I would do it And yes Waddle can absolutely be a league winner All right This can't be true This can't be true I have got to find out if this is true from Luke.
Starting point is 00:58:21 The number one sports podcast in the world, pardon my take, made fun of Pete Prisco's picks on your draft board photo behind you, Adam. That can't be true. First of all, this is a fake draft board. I hope that's true.
Starting point is 00:58:33 That's really funny if it is. I gave Dave 18 running backs. This is from three or four years ago at this point. More than that. For me, Jamie, Heath time, I think I drafted normal teams. For Pete, I gave him all Jaguars. So he went Lawrence in round one,
Starting point is 00:58:49 E.N. James Robinson, Marvin Jones, Evan Ingram, Christian Kirk, Dan Arnold, Jamal Agnew, Levisca Chenault, Snoop Connor was in there, and the Jaguars DST. That would be really funny if that's true. I hope that's true. I'm going to Google it. See what happens. Okay, Rico Dowdell or Travion Henderson in PPR? Rico Dowdell or Trevion Henderson and PPR, I would go with Rico Dowdell. If Ramandre is out, though, I think I might go Henderson here. Am I crazy? Sure. You do.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Okay. I got a stinker from Nico Collins. Am I crazy to want to start Tetero-McMillan over a Mecca-A-A-A-A-A-Bucca? No. I would still go-A-Bucca, but not crazy. Yeah, I wouldn't do it. I said this about Tetero-M-M-Mick-Millan, and I want to get your thoughts on it. So it was on Beyond the Box Score on Monday.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Let me just pull it up. So the guy that I had been comparing a meca-A-A-A-Buccas to. No, that's him-Book-McMillan. The guy that I had been comparing Teterole McMillan too, two guys, Garrett Wilson and Chris Olivae in their rookie seasons. Everything was really similar going into this last week. And even now, it's fairly similar. Teterole McMillan, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave,
Starting point is 01:00:10 compare their 17-game paces as rookies. All of them are 82 to 88 catches. All of them are between 1,100. and 1,200 yards, all of them 135 to 147 targets, and all of them 4 to 6 touchdowns. It's pretty damn similar, and all of them 12.8 to 13.9 PPR fantasy points.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Right now, McMillan's having the best season of those three as rookies. Going into the last week, he was having the worst season. But the argument I made was that, you know, Garrett Wilson, he had a 30-point game in week two. Okay, he had three games that year as a rookie where he scored 24.2 or more PPR fantasy points. So I guess my concern is that we're not taking the full season of not McMillan, really, but Bryce Young into account. And getting too excited about Teddrault McMillan based on the best game in Bryce Young's career,
Starting point is 01:01:09 the best game in Carolina Panthers' quarterback history career, and we're going a little overboard with McMillan. Well, I think, again, like you look at some of the more, productive games for McMillan and that's usually my baseline is like can he get to that can he get to 14 or 15 points I bet he's only done that
Starting point is 01:01:28 if I don't even know he had the one game with Donald where he was like 6 for 99 I think it was with Dalton yeah Dalton excuse me how many points 14 points he's done that three times this year so he did that against
Starting point is 01:01:41 Dallas with two touchdowns he did that against Buffalo with Andy Dalton and he did that obviously last week I'm starting him without hesitation because I think it's a good setup for him and hopefully they found something to get their passing game going a little bit maybe they get his routes were different I mean that helped yeah 200 passing yards can I can we just get that from brys young all right anyway if you play out the game as you think it will go that 49ers offense doing
Starting point is 01:02:08 positive things then should be at that type of game and their defense their past defense stinks yeah all right Caleb Williams brys young Jordan love or sam Darnold this week. I'd go Donald. Me too. I'm glad you said that. I was thinking that. Should I trade Derek Henry for Sequin Barclay? I'd rather have Henry. Should I stash Mike Evans? Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Trevion, Sean Tucker, or Judkins this week? PPR. Travion. With or without Romange, right? Doesn't matter. Mooney or O'Donzee? I'd go O'Donzee. Tucker, Alger, or a lot of typos here, or Kyle Monongai?
Starting point is 01:02:49 Tucker. Actually, I don't know that these are typos. I think these were intentional. Half PPR, E.N, Jones, Tucker, Hall, Tutton, Pick, 2. Again, I'll read it again. Travis E.TN. Aaron Jones, Sean Tucker, Breece Hall, Bajal Tutin, Pick, 2. E.N. and Jones.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Tough calls there. Good, good options. Jennings, Pearsall, Tutin, pick two, and half PPR. I would go with Jennings and Tudon. I can't wait for Pearsall to have a big game and thus get so annoyed. every single week with the new chargers. I don't know saying that's going to happen, but I would,
Starting point is 01:03:23 would you drop- Week 14, we want to worry about that. They're not to buy. Would you drop Pierce-all for Tutin? I mean, assuming Tudon ever gets the full-time job because of an injury, he is going to be a league winner.
Starting point is 01:03:38 I don't know if Piersall will ever be a league winner, nor do I know if he'll be starting him consistently, but clearly you're starting Piersall over Tuton in the current environment for both these guys, current situation for both these guys. Wait, you're starting Piersall over Tuton? You're going to start Pearsall over Tootin more times than not. Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:52 In the current scheme of things. But yes, I would probably rather roster Tootin if I'm never playing Pearsall. Tyrone, Tracy, Parker, Washington, Kenneth Gainwell. Gainwell, by far. If Warren is out, probably go Tracy if Warren isn't. Do we have an update on that? No, not that I've seen. Last thing I wanted to say about McMillan, I forgot to mention this.
Starting point is 01:04:13 And I have mentioned it a couple times. But if you missed it, I see a lot more passing in their future. they've got a tough schedule in terms of the offenses that they're playing. I don't think they're just going to be able to run the ball over and over again, which I actually think will be good for Dowdall because he'll catch more passes. But, well, I don't know if it'll be good for Dowell, but it may not be bad. But I think that'll be good for McMillan. They've been way too run heavy this year.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Alec Pierce for Michael Wilson, grade the trade. I mean, long term, you'd rather have Pierce. One week, I'd rather have Wilson, so it depends which need. I'm not sure what this is all about, but it says, I will be rooting against Adam. Maybe the Lions Giants bit. Maybe. Aaron Jones, Alec Pierce, Jacoby Myers, Xavier Worthy, Christian Watson, pick two. So I've done a little bit of a 180 on Myers with Brian Thomas not playing.
Starting point is 01:05:01 I know I was very pessimistic when we did the game yesterday. I moved him up to like wide receiver 26. I think it's close between him and Pierce. To me, Aaron Jones is the easy one. I may even have to make that change too. So I'm going to go Jones and Myers. I guess I missed that. has Brian Thomas Jr. been ruled out?
Starting point is 01:05:19 No, but just not expecting to play. Okay. Yeah, it's a big difference, obviously, there. Tyler Warren or George Kittle rest of season? Wow. I'm going to go Warren, but it's close just because Kittleslaw's buy and a very favorable schedule for Warren.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Let's see. Is that like a trade? Because if you have both, you can play both. He's good. All right, last one. Rico Daudel, Stefan Diggs, or Chris Olave? Half people. I go, Dauddle.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Cool. Adam, Big Farts says, please watch Bob's Burgers. I think you'll love that show. You think I haven't seen Bob's burgers, Big Farts? Yeah, you're full of hot air.
